No worries, it's a tough spot, we just need to keep living.
Fwiw my plan for if frankencasey attacks and we are not in a position to defend ourselves properly is to fake a heart attack and play dead. It's very risky and might open us up to some questions, but it's better than fighting the thing.
Do you have the syringe atm by the way or does yvonne?
Yvonne still has it, but she didn't steal it from me - I lent it to her so she could incapacitate Xavier, but we missed the chance and got away. I'll need to get it off her later.
There’s a working monitor in the lab, Frankencasey cleared the rubble so it’s now possible to get from the lab to the cinema and use the elevator to the office in one phase.
When you get a chance check it for ammo, don't do it in front of Groza, also make sure it's locked and loaded and the safety is off.
Wouldn't want to have you fire a shot and here a -

- from no ammo or the safety being on.
You are also slow to use guns if attacked first fyi - Ambic told me when I recruited Terry that his reaction time with guns is not the same as mine would be, but depends on how and when they are used.
The two of us are here. We need to make sure Johannes doesn't leave this place alive this phase imho. This place is weird enough we can lie about why it happened. I'm still very scared of Xavier and FrankenCasey, but we need to remember our win condition.
Being as you're conveniently locked out of sight in the UFO.. now would be a good time to do a weapons check. I would even try PM'ing Ambic to take aim at something inside the ship, but don't actually fire - Just to see what the aiming dice defaults to.
What type of gun is it: pistol - revolver, laser etc and how much ammo do you have?
Groza529 lives in the United States and its the middle of the night there atm, so you may have to wait for him to come back online to let you out of the UFO.
Try to do it before Groza comes back and sees you playing with a gun.
Make sure if you decide to test the aim, you engage the safety and unload it first. Don't want an accidental misfire and ricochet inside a closed metal capsule that you a currently occupying.
Safety first:
1. Treat every firearm as loaded.
2. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you're ready to fire.
2. Always point firearms in a safe direction.
3. Load a firearm only when ready to fire.
4. Identify your target beyond all doubt (and what is behind it)
5. Keep the weapon safety on until you intend to fire.
6. When ready to fire, use both hands and squeeze the trigger instead of pulling.
You might think I'm being pedantic, but it's the kind of secret dice roll mechanic Ambic likes to sneak into a game for when people have a habit of making generic statements & actions that could resolve multiple ways.
That’s true.. if he has two Frankensteins at this point - he’s going to be very hard to beat in a melee fight. But he thinks I’m helping him, so I was hoping if we kill groza and take his “gun” we could then just use them to shoot Xavier.
Ok, so there was a nuclear reactor under the lab powering the time machine, but it was destroyed with the time machine explosion, the radiation washed away from the tunnel flooding, which we drained by turning the water valves off. There was enough of a crack in the floor under the Lab for Johannes to shoot a laser gun like Jia's but brand new with an 80% insta kill hit rate. He also has a normal pistol and a crowbar. Johannes shot the Frankenstein machine destroying it instantly. FrankenCasey came charging in to defend the Lab, he's armed with a heavy crowbar and a crossbow. It's currently reinforcing the Lab cafe door. We could also see enough of the room to recognize that Cindy had not been Frankensteined.
So is this where we try and kill Groza? I don't think we'll get a better opportunity.
I try and shoot him, if he shoots me, rip. You claim ignorance. If it comes down to an actual fight, you support me and we take him, then we go into endgame.
We claim to everyone else frankencasey shot him with his crossbow when destroying the lab.
Yes, but the underground tunnel was next to the basement and Yvonne could hear us through the pipes in the wall. She said she heard us in the room when Johannes shot the machine. If I suddenly add, oh Johannes died several hours later she’ll know I’m lying.
I’m happy to still kill him here but feel like we need a better story, I like the flying the ship idea. Let’s kill him, put him on board fly the ship and crash it some more and we teleport to safety.
If we leave his body on board the ship no one else will be able to open it.
