A blog about sewing machine repairs,but mainly my hobbies which include old school role playing games, science fiction,films, horror, and general geekery. Sit down and stay a spell.

Tonight we've got the final part of the Mutated Empires One shot! the characters are aboard the Relic. A ship(so they think of the Space Gods)
The Relic is in deep orbit around Io. The PC's party of nine has breached the hull of the craft.
They've managed to get onto the first level of the craft where thousands of sleep pods surround them. The party has spread out & secured this level allowing the rest of the party to look for other exits, traps, etc. The design of the ship is some type of mymonic alloy. It transformed before their eyes into other shapes & strange functions. The party is being completely cautious because of several strange energy bursts that have been detected in the higher band EM range, several weird Gamma radiation bursts were also detected last game. If you wish to now more about this game you can read about it Here Details Here Also some other bits Here A Few other points :
The Relic - The relic is in fact a living piece of technology & responses to the user's needs. The ship is in fact based on the one seen in the X Factor comic more details Here
The party already has several pieces of technology from the Relic aboard their own ship.
The party knows that they're not alone aboard
There are also life forms aboard as well but these retreat away every time adventurers approach.
The relic has been around since the First Host & it means its very very ancient
Incorporating greater advances than hitherto known in the field of electronicsThe Mantra For Unit #16
Created by Unit # 16 the Interocitor has been the main stay of the Galactic community since 1952 subjective Earth Time.The Interocitor is an alien communications device with unusual and strange properties.
The Type V adds +2 to all attempts involving quantum telecommunication across time and space
The Type V may also:
Act as a Telecommunications device
The device can act as a space craft autopilot while the crew is within hypersleep
Surveillance and security controller giving the operator the psionic abilities of Clairvoyance & Clairaudience across a 2 par sec area or 22 light years. There are possibly interference from Mental Barriers & the like.
Directed energy weapon doing 1d4 points of damage to anything within a 60 foot radius of the device. The beam may be directed by another interocitor on the same frequency.
The Interrocitor has a psionic strength of 15.
According to Wiki :
"The term interocitor itself, rather than referring to a specific device, likely refers to a general class of devices that share a common set of operating principles (similar to the term computer). This is inferred from the fact an interocitor is observed or described in many different roles:
Telecommunications device
Aircraft autopilot
Surveillance and security controller
Directed energy weapon
In the film, advanced physicist Cal Meacham first becomes aware of an interocitor when a book arrives at his lab titled Electronic Service, Unit #16. Inside is contained a bill of materials for the interocitor, describing it as, "incorporating greater advances than hitherto known in the field of electronics". From the specifications, Meacham opines, "There's no limit to what it could do. Laying a four-lane highway at the rate of a mile a minute would be a cinch."
Of the 2486 components comprising an interocitor, only three are mentioned by name in the film:
Bead condenser (model #: AB-619)
Cathermin tube with inindium complex of +4
Intensifier disk
The instructions accompanying the components also caution that no interocitor part can be replaced, and to bear this in mind while assembling.
Once assembled and powered, Meacham places the intensifier disk into the right-hand control and rotates it 18 degrees counter-clockwise. Upon doing so, the telecommunication function of the interocitor is activated, and Meacham establishes contact with Exeter, the party responsible for sending him the device.
During their conversation, Meacham's lab assistant, Joe Wilson attempts to photograph the device, but is informed by Exeter that "Your camera will pick up nothing but black fog. Images on the interocitor don't register on film." "
We'll be talking about the the model V21 Model or Type V
Intensifier disk
The instructions accompanying the components also caution that no interocitor part can be replaced, and to bear this in mind while assembling.
The Stellar Scope Model 234 This incredible device allows one's mind to roam the universe & beyond in a bizarre psionic dance of hyper dimensional viewing allowing one to peer into realms beyond human reckoning. The stellar scope is of Metaluna manufacture & has been in use for over 2000 Earth years. The user gains : Clairvoyance Clairaudience Dimensional Projection All abilities function within a 100 light years of the space craft. A navigator may direct the mind of the pilot controlling the device as they work in tandum to guide the craft using a variation of the Interrocitor
The Astral Transmitigation Galactic Map The ATGM is allows one to peer into the void between the stars & with a successful wisdom roll to view any point within the local space time continuum allowing one to know conditions, hazards, star density, & up to the second interstellar traffic conditions. The navigator may take no other actions during this time when using the ATGM.
