-[X] Harlan continues to be a cybernetics engineer/voluntary guinea pig for the rest of the Squad's cybernetics department, eventually decides to become the first person to divvy up his original body into seventeen cyborgs united by a distributed digital consciousness, purely so he be can be finally recognized as the unique, world-changing visionary that he truly is. No, he doesn't explain why becoming an uploaded mind operating seventeen cyborgs will accomplish this.
Is this supposed to be a reference to something?
 
[X] Initiate Epilogue
-[X] Work on trying to extend the lifespan of the Sparkle Scouts so they can live long and happy lives.
--[X] See if you can get the Coven to help.
-[X] Finish training combat skills to [MAXIMUM HAVOC] and augment myself with all applicable cybernetics.
-[X] Grow into an extra-judiciary, city-wide police force designed specifically to help normals and regulate abnormals. Expand to nearby cities as time goes on, hopefully (eventually) becoming a nation-wide force of law and order.
-[X] Get drunk, visit Donteria's grave - or failing that, the most accessible place with a strong association with her - and show my 'respects.' I lost a lot of good friends on the force to that bitch.

[Edit}
Right almost forgot about my thoughts on the Quest.
1st, Good Job I Just Write, I've had fun with this since I joined.
2nd, this is an amazing world and I'd happily buy a Pen and paper RPG module in the setting. or just a series of novels.
3rd, I hope I notice the next time you start posting a story/quest so I can read it or participate from the beginning.
4th, if you end up releasing the "Chronicles of the Havoc Squad" (suggested title for either book series) as an actual book, please revive the thread and post a link.​

1: Thank you!

2: It's amazing what you can make when you just make up complete bullshit on the fly.

3: It'll wind up in my sig, and the forum does have a 'follow' feature.

4: Not sure if there'll be a book or a series, but I'll keep that in mind.
 
[X] Initiate Epilogue
-[X] Start compiling information about the Havoc Squads earlier days for biography

So, been following this quest since not too long ago. I'm curious: Just how much do people outside Havoc Squad know about it? Does anyone have even a piece of the picture of how much Havoc Squad accomplished?

-[X] go to brothers grave and tell him that it's done the squad finally beat the gangs.
[X]have minion work with me as my partner.
Cool quest think it's one of the only ones that actually reached an end point that I've been a part of.
 
[X] Initiate Epilogue
-[X] Work on trying to extend the lifespan of the Sparkle Scouts so they can live long, happy, relatively normal lives.
--[X] See if you can get the Coven to help, whether by hiring them or other (legal and acceptable) methods.
-[X] Ensure Jack has a place to stay and plenty of tuna.
-[X] Get a TV Show up and running.
--[X] With his history and experience as a stunt driver, Bradford can provide invaluable assistance in the stunts department! Among other things. Odds are he probably knows more about TV and movies and how they're made than anyone else in Havok Squad.
-[X] Bradford will see if there is any possibility at all of him getting to keep the "This Side Up" as his personal vehicle to replace the one he lost when he first came to town, provided it was de-armed into a weapons-free 'civilian' model first. And it were outfitted with a sufficiently secure anti-theft system.
--[X] Or, barring that, seeing if he can get his hands on a new 'civilian' (Read:weapons free) model of the Warhound as a replacement for the vehicle he lost when he first arrived in town.
-[x] Get rich off our patents!
--[x] And then use at least part of that wealth to help make the world a better place.

No, your secrecy is mostly intact. The only ones who have even half of the picture are the Coven, with the Sparkle Scouts and the Witch Doctors getting a fractional glimpse. The government only really knows that you exist and include multiple Tinkers, but that's the extent of their knowledge.

Basically, you guys are the Heroic Mad Scientist Illuminati.
 
I have changed my action so that I can establish a havoc squad in every city in the world. Is their anyone who is up for helping me with that?

Maybe. I'll need to write up a new character (sorry I wasn't as involved with this quest as I should've been, RL's been nut-shotting me for the past 2 months). I do have a few questions:

1)Are there any villains left in Gerard worth going after, or did they all surrender/flee after Donteria went down?
2)Are there any cities as bad as Gerard was, and are we going to get beat by the military going there if we do?
2a)Will the military take a dim view of us not technically disarming and spreading to other cities to smack villains down and get the cities in question back on their feet?
 
[X] Begin Epilogue
-[X] Visit my sister's grave, now that her murder has been avenged.
-[X] Give the military all information on members that do not disarm or leave town and all technology they have with them.
-[X] Give Regen Serum and Injection Modulators to the military.
--[X] Shoot @Zaratustra if he interferes.

Welp sad that I couldn't really do much and that I joined so late in the game,maybe I should have just dived in instead of reading the whole thread:tongue: but you bet I'm gonna be there at the start if you make a new quest.;)

Um, my questions were to the thread, but @I just write could you please answer these questions, as it will determine what I vote for:

I do have a few questions:

1)Are there any villains left in Gerard worth going after, or did they all surrender/flee after Donteria went down?
2)Are there any cities as bad as Gerard was, and are we going to get beat by the military going there if we do?
2a)Will the military take a dim view of us not technically disarming and spreading to other cities to smack villains down and get the cities in question back on their feet?
 
So, in summary, no data was recovered save that whatever was attempted didn't go as planned, two Squaddies were heavily injured (with one of them dying as a result), and the room this was done in was sufficiently messed up that fixing it would likely be a real pain in the ass.

PROGRESS: NONE

Bases:
Seaside Factory: 1 (storeroom) converted to (wreckage)

Injuries:
@Nathaniel Wolff (Wounded 5 turns)
@hcvquizibo (DECEASED)

XP:
Nathaniel Wolff (R&D Lv. 3 achieved!)
The quest in a nutshell. SCIENCE! has prevailed.

[X] Initiate Epilogue
-[X] Seek help for Mentats addiction for yourself and Dana.
-[X] Apply for government work, seeking to root out supervillain wannabes like Edwin Macky.

I'll keep it personal. Others have already mentioned what needs to be done to reslove the remaining plot points.
 
[X] Initiate Epilogue
-[X] Start training for combat
-[X] Clean up Gerard, using my augs and the Squad's weapons and armor.
-[X] Once the city is safe from super-powered criminals and the worst of the normal gangs, walk out to my sister's grave one night with a Derringer - with one bullet loaded.

"I missed you, Allie. I got the bad guys who killed you... I'll-... I'll see you soon."

Fuck today.

1: They either all got dealt with or skipped town.

2: there's a few of them in the world at any one time, but they're the exception, rather than the norm.

2a: somewhat, but as long as you stay in 'shadowy conspiracy' land you should be fine.

Two things

1: You'd almost certainly survive that; skeletomuscular overhauling will do that to someone.

2: You know seances actually work in this setting with the proper training, right?
