#57: Appearance problems

Slade finds out that it's possible to change his appearance in the virtual conference room and makes himself look like a normal ork.

Blue (OC): "I punch him in the face as hard as I can"

Slade (IC): "I mean... I can try punching you if you like."

#55: Lazarus realizes something

Lazarus: "What's he been rolling for by the way?"

Slade: "Alright.... deep breaths...."
*Goes to remove helmet to breathe better....*

#51: Always an ominous question

(0)

The GM asked everyone for a quick body + toxin resist roll. Slade managed to get a critical glitch.

GM: "For no particular reason, what does your character dislike the most?"
Slade: "I really don't know.... he hates guns. Beyond that, I'm really not sure?"
GM: "Alright, I can work with that. You feel this weird chill roll down your back, and as you look around, you notice that Blue and Lazarus are starting to morph into turrets...."
Slade: "Oh gosh... this is bad. I'm starting to reach for my swords....."

#46: Technomancers, amirite?

(2)

Blue managed to get a commlink from a guard (Evan) and decided to pin all blame for the system failure on him.

Blue (IC): "You obviously connected in to this, you have a virus on your commlink! The logs show you as logging in just half an hour ago!"
GM (IC): "What? No! I haven't been in the system all day! It must have been one of them technomancers!"
Slade (OC): "Bah.... Blaming a technomancer. The oldest excuse in the book."

#45: Real life VS. Shadowrun

During this time everyone immediately bought her story, regaled her with countless stories about how things are always acting up, pestered her with questions about what the problem is, and gave her credentials to log into the system as admin (1234).

Slade (OC): "Stop taking real life examples... we PLAY these games to escape from real life!"
GM (OC): "This ISN'T real life... it's a parody of what usually happens."
Slade (OC): "But... isn't this just normal everyday stuff that happens?"
GM (OC): "Yes.... just taken to the extreme."
