Doc Yang, Doc Fulton & I have found out a bit more about the Oscillation Overthruster (in Guri).
- Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems developed the Overthruster while researching a way to speed up space travel
- A Mr Pink somehow obtained the overthruster and took it to Professor Cynthia Kainsworth to research.
- Prof Kainsworth looks exactly like Prof Answorth in Gothic, however is more sociable. She also appears to have a child. Is an expert in Spaceship engine engineering.
- Prof Kainsworth used to work for Corp, however left. Currently lives in Old Town, address blah (block and 1/2 away from Cafe Dirt)
- The overthruster plugs into something else to make it work, unknown exactly what currently.
- It requires a type 4 connection and 3 type 2 connections to plug in.
- there were further tests the Prof had in mind to do, however Mr Pink took it back before she could continue testing.
- The Prof has been visited by Harlequins which left a note the same as we have received previously.
- She did not recognise them/know what they were called.
The Professor wants better safety for her and her child, looking to get enough money to be able to purchase passage off the rock if it looks like it's going to start plunging towards the Sun (see Corb's Fabulous FNG Flyer if you don't know why this may be a concern)
The Prof is willing to work for the Docs & I for Standard Guild rate plus 10% (works out to be 20,000 cr per season). The Docs and I are thinking we could employ her a lot cheaper (possibly 1/2) if we put her and her child up in the Raven. As we do not own the Raven, did not make a deal with her. If Glenn/Dana you are ok with this we will then make a deal
(or someone else can try and make a deal with her. - to assist with discussions, you can mention that we first went to her place, the child was eating "I Want More Life" cereal. She told us to meet her at the Cafe Dirt which we did. During the discussions, she spotted the green haired person in the purple clothes. Doc Fulton went and sat at a different table and gestured the Joker over, where they had a conversation and then left. Shortly after I heard blaster fire and said we should leave, leading. After I stepped outside to check, I came running in, yelling bomb and tackled her to the ground, then hustled her over to behind the bar. Doc Yang continued outside. There was a couple more shots and then it was over. I helped her leave via the back so as she would not be picked up by the cameras in the crowd who were applauding Doc Fulton for stopping the madman with a bomb and disabling the bomb. You should not need to tell her all this, this info background dump of what happened in case she asks questions to confirm you know us/what happened, the discussions)
We located Mr Pink, so did a group of heavies. I managed to get Mr Pink away and hid him in Curl Up and Dye. He unfortunately pulled one of the hair dryers down over his head and was subsumed into the hivemind, changing into one of the women. We examined it once the coast was clear however when trying to extract him, discovered that the top of his skull was missing with fibrous tendrils going into his brain. We triggered something and barely escaped before the door sealed.
One thing we worked out is that if a DORA was to be subsumed they would die, so be careful if you want to experiment.
