Alan waits patiently for the authorities to come, not wanting to risk moving around in the dark anymore than he has to else someone shoot him by accident.

Meanwhile, Alan waits calmly and quietly back in the powerless room to make contact with people who are in authority.

"I never noticed he was such a vile little toad?" he asks to no one in particular. "Someone like that, he's probably more dangerous to his friends than his enemies. Undersocialized, with a chip on his shoulder? Whatever happened to us, it's probably his fault." Alan pauses long enough to...

"We're thinking of a key, confirming our prison," Alan says rapidly, obviously falling back into his weird mental fugue-speak again. "Moses or Sesostris? What footsteps will pick our bones with whispers?" Think. What would Elvis do? "What if there's a good reason that one of us is in here...

I suppose I really should spend a point in pumping up Alan's Knowledge:Philosophy and Pop Culture, since he's smart and he's a Jack of All Trades but once you start casually referencing The Wasteland you're probably on different level. I'm also going to drop a couple of points into...

Let me cast another vote for Eric Anondson's maps. Seriously, it's one thing to check out the awesomeness that's the thumbnail previews, and it's a completely different, totally mind-boggling thing to actually download the beasts and scroll around them. Another impressive set of maps can be...

"Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!"

"Lady, why should anyone trust you either? You're a dangerous loose cannon too," Alan says. Annoyed, he finished examining the other pod for inhabitants and collecting samples. This is all a set-up. Something is wrong here, and it's all a set-up. He calls to Ashley over his shoulder. "I don't...

I think that the improvised and non-sustaining bit is fairly explicit by the rules, UP or not. Even in more pronounced effects based systems like Champions though, as described Create Objects seems to be able to provide scene-specific bonuses. Otherwise it's pretty lame, except as a special...

OK, I've been trying to get a handle on what exactly is Create Object and I've run across this sidebar in Ultimate Power: Emphasis mine. From that description it sounds like Alan, with Create Object 5, should be able to create weaponry, right?

"I think we should not trust Mira, but go anywhere that might lead us away from this place. What if these," Alan gestures at the corpse," people started off in the same shape we're in but only ended up this way thanks to Mira and her company's 'care'?" Alan frowns. "These are not good people. I...

Janis cleverly readies an action to move away from the enormous demonic creature if he approaches her or her animal companion, clearly hoping others with strong swords and backs will move quickly to place themselves in danger in her stead. OOC: :)

"I honestly don't know. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have the slightest clue on how to do explosives though." Alan crinkles his nose at the idea, obviously uncomfortable with the notion of making something as damaging as explosives to be used on anyone. "As for knives, so far I still haven't...

Alrighty then :)

I'm wondering, are people asking Alan to make stuff as in "provide an excuse to buy the Equipment feat" or what? The hardest substance Alan can make is stone (at 5), and steel is 10. I've been sort of assuming that Alan's been making forks and other metallic stuff out of silver and aluminum...

Alan looks over at Ian with some relief. "You're helping him? Good, I'm going to go check the vitals of the others - if you two can pull up the local nurse station in this madhouse before Bad Things Happen I'd appreciate it." Alan marches confidently over to the nearest unopened 'tank and...

Yeah, Alan is especially going to like the part where he gets told to do what he's already doing. :] "Ashley! Get off your behind and try to do something more useful than tell everyone to do the things they're already doing. And stop wiggling those things like we're supposed to be...

Alan moves confidently over to the workstations and looks to power them up. "Someone should probably watch the door in case someone shows up to put the genies back in the bottle," he says to no one in particular, already distracted by the rows of monitors that might contain secrets regarding...

Alan moves across the room to check out the flashing light and see if there is a map and/or medical reports nearby.

My vote. :lol:
