Clarifying one more thing on Raises to identify samples:

You can use those to:
  • Reduce the TN to find them
  • Get additional info on a specific sample. This will translate to Free Raises on further Lore rolls to deal with that specific sample.
  • Using 2 Free Raises, locate a second sample (or third, etc if more Raises used) with the same action. You'll still need to deal with one sample at a time (please note in your post which one you'll examine/ grab first), but that will cost only 1 Time Step (and won't need another roll).
I was posting this now, but with Yesugen searching now this may help!

GHOSTING DAI
Dai sees Sakura and Sumiko working on the computers and Sakura sharing the info she found, and it is clear to him that trying to locate the Rainbow Olm sample should be the next priority, followed by getting the heck out of here. You've been relatively fast so far, but his instincts are tingling.

Unfortunately, hearing about the research here and where each thing is makes other instincts itch...

GHOSTING DAI
Raw Willpower TN 25. This research sounds awfully interesting... | 2k2 ⇒ 18 (TN: 25)


His eyes start to shine, and as soon as he touches the desk he looks completely absorbed. He decides to see if he can find something else himself on the computer. His eyes shift to Sakura for a moment - she had the keycard it that might make things easier... but he sets to work without it even so. There must be interesting stuff here...

GHOSTING DAI
Search the computer for info. 3 Raises called, TN 40. Computers (hacking)/ Int. 4 Time Steps used. | 9k4 ⇒ 43 (TN: 40)


Interesting... very interesting...

GHOSTING YESUGEN
Yesugen meanwhile gets to work on finding the Rainbow Olm sample, focused (and deadpan) as she is.

GHOSTING YESUGEN
Looking for Rainbow Olm sample in the Desk. 3 Free Raises total from previous information.
Lore: Biology (Sage!) vs TN 30, 3 FRs used to reduce TN to 15 as per instructions.
DOING CORRECT ROLL NOW, derp clicked while setting up | 4k3 ⇒ 22 (TN: 15)
. 2 Time Slots used. Put Dai's name instead of Yesugen here, just ignore me being stupid please!

With the information she had from before, finding the sample doesn't prove too hard. As she uses the notes she finds and first holds the correct tube in her hands, however, some things happen...

She's first greeted by a loud howl from a furious spirit...

Image

GHOSTING YESUGEN
Second Lore: Biology roll. Sage. | 4k3 ⇒ 19 (TN: ?)


Unsurprisingly, she's equally deadpan in her reaction to it. She just looks at it, wondering, then looks back to the sample, shrugging her shoulders. She feels... something. Maybe it was that damn spirit puffing out air or something? She shrugs again and yells to the others. "I have it!"

Right after that, a transluscent, black-haired girl appears, apparently about 7 or 8 years old. She seems calm, but curious, looks at Yesugen intently, then speaks.

Image
Ghost girl

"Oh... hello! Who are you? You look alive... Why are you taking this? It's important to me..."

She seems calm, but quite wary...


Meanwhile, Sakura is visited by some Ghost Moths that suddenly come out from the wall and start flickering around her. They don't seem to do anything besides making her glow in the dark.... but soon she's visited by the same ghost Yesugen saw, this time coming from the floor and looking at her quite intently!

Sakura, please make me another Fear 2 roll! (Willpower + honor TN 15)!

DAI, as said on Discord, note you're still "Consumed"! I'll ask for another Will roll if you want to do anything other than trying to get your hands on more of the research here. You roll against TN 20 now though!

With the sample found, you may either fumble around the computers more, look for other samples if you want to, or try to deal with the ghost girl. Or, well, something else if you feel like it.
  • Peruse one of the computers to look for information - This requires 4 Time Steps, as the computer's conditions are not the best and it freezes from time to time. This needs a Use Computer (Hacking) TN 25; Raises can help you find more information. If the person taking this action is holding Soshi Ohana's credentials, they find some information in the card can help here, granting 1 Free Raise. New attempts by the same PC require 6 Time Steps each. If you have Use Computer 3, you can try again once spending only 4 Time Steps instead. This can be done as a Cooperative roll, with only one PC rolling and the others granting a bonus equal to their combined Skill Ranks to the roll (this is affected by Use Computer 5). For Time Steps, this counts as all the PCs cooperating in the task taking this action (thus 4 or 6 Time Steps each, depending on whether they've taken this action before).
  • Can I use Soshi Ohana's credentials?... - Instead of hacking through the system, you can try to use Soshi Ohana's credentials to access the information. You'll find she wasn't a researcher of this specific sector, so you'll still need to ask for additional user privileges and do some more creative programming to access some things. This likewise requires 4 Time Steps, but you can make a Use Computer (Programming) TN 20, may call raises. New attempts require 4 Time Steps each. This can be done as a Cooperative roll, with only one PC rolling and the others granting a bonus equal to their combined Skill Ranks to the roll (this is affected by Use Computer 5). For Time Steps, this counts as all the PCs cooperating in the task taking this action (thus 4 or 6 Time Steps each, depending on whether they've taken this action before).
  • Establish a direct link with a Computer in the lab, then hack for information - This requires a Portable Computer, and is what Sumiko has tried. If the person taking this action is holding Soshi Ohana's credentials, they find some information in the card can help here, granting 1 Free Raise. This action requires 2 Time Steps instead, although the base TN is 30. Raises can help you find more information. New attempts require 4 Time Steps each. If you have Use Computer 3, you can try again once spending only 2 Time Steps instead. This can be done as part of a Cooperative roll with other PCs Perusing the computers (which takes longer), although the base TN regardless of who rolls is the highest 30 (instead of TN 25). Only one PC rolls, and the others grant a bonus equal to their combined Skill Ranks to the roll (this is affected by Use Computer 5).
  • Attempt to find another sample - If you want to look for a specific sample, tell me which sample you're looking for, and you can attempt to locate it among the desks. This takes 2 Time Slots. To do so, make a Lore: Biology roll vs TN 30. You can replace this with a Lore: Theology roll vs TN 35 or a Lore: Spirit Realms roll vs TN 40, as genetic work is often tied to theological or spiritual matters. UPDATE: I'll allow you to use Perception or Intelligence here, but this is not an Investigation roll, note! Also - no more Fear rolls, but please roll another Lore: Biology, Theology or Spirit Realms check when you do this, this time necessarily using Intelligence! So 2 Lore rolls.
  • Try to talk to the ghost girl - The girl seems like she might become frightened, or maybe angry, if you just ignore her or if she feels you're a threat or something of the sort. Talking to her could be done using 'normal' means, or based on things you may about spirits or spiritual rites. Each attempt to talk to her will take 1 Time Step, with a hidden TN, using Courtier, Lore: Theology or Lore: Spirit Realms. You might need to talk to her more than once to get her to trust you.
  • Wait - If you decide to just wait while others do their thing, you spend 1 Time Step.
  • Do something else - If you have some other idea here that I haven't covered, explain what you are doing in your post and ping me. I'll react to it at the end of the round! (This includes casting a spell!)
  • Let's get the heck outta here - You'll take 1 Time Step each to reach the elevator from there.

(D7, LA: Possible retconnin' - Willpower | 2k2 ⇒ 7 (TN: 25))

Dai glances up at the disturbance, annoyed at the distraction, "It's Omoi, her daughter, tell her her mother sent us."

He then plunges back into system to see what else he can wring out of it.

But it seemed he had lost his place. With a groan of frustration he starts over from the beginning.

(Sadly ignore the Courtier roll, made it before I knew about still needing the willpower.

Instead:
D7, LA: Computer Use/Intelligence - 2 raises called, TN35 | 9k4 ⇒ 28 (TN: 35)
D7, LA: Willpower again - use my once per session now or hold off. | 2k2 ⇒ 7 (TN: 25)
D7, LA: Computer Use/Intelligence - Once per session tech reroll, TN35 | 9k4 ⇒ 31 (TN: 35)

4 Time steps due to Use Computer rank, no useful result)

"G-g-g-g-ghost!" Sakura shrieked as both the moths and the girl appeared. Her poor heart could only take so much!

She took a breath....and bowed. "Greetings.....Omoi-chan?" She took a wild guess. "I am Sakura...a friend of Kioku'-sama's." She took a calming breath. "We are sorry for disturbing you.

Yesugen did what any normal person would do when a ghost was around: ignore it and go about her business. Well, the others were speaking to it, so her decision couldn't have been so horrible.

Since she had already found the Rainbow Olm, she searched for the next thing that'd caught her interest: something about blacksilk moths and such. Because she wasn't much of a biologist, she struggled to find exactly what she was hoping for...

Fascinating....

Sumiko hadn't noticed the ghost girl, so engrossed in her research (it was hers now, she found it!). One in particular had jumped out at her, and she knew it would be really useful in the future.

After putting her plushie back away and moving over to the samples, she quickly spotted the correct one and collected it.

This will be really useful

Does just the same
As Yesugen and Sumiko work her way through the samples and files in the desks and get their hands on the sample they were looking for, they find...

The sample seems to be in a relatively well-preserved condition. As each of you gets it in your hands, you feel... something. You look at the sample, remember what you've seen and read here so far, and...

Two translucid things appear, one in front of each one of you. They look at you, then at each other - one of them seemingly tied to a chair standing between you two, the other floating menacingly and looking at each of you in turn...

Image
Thread-weaving leathery spider ghost

Image
Ghost entangled in silk and leather ropes

1 - Yesugen
2 - Sumiko | 1d2 ⇒ 2


The one tied to the chair keeps looking at you both in turn. The one floating around suddenly runs towards Sumiko and starts weaving dark silky and leathery threads around her before disappearing.

Yesugen and Sumiko, please roll against Fear 1 again! After that, Sumiko should please roll vs Athletics 20 or become entangled in the dark threads!

If Sumiko does become entangled, each attempt to get free is a Strength roll against TN 11 and consumes 2 Time Steps. Other characters may spend 1 Time Step to provide 1 Free Raise to get free.

Regardless of the results above, Yesugen pieces together that these things that just appeared - and possibly the girl - must be the spirits of animals or people who lost their lives and their ways through the spirit world here during the accident. Most of them are likely Gaki, although the girl... possibly not?

Given the heavy spiritual energies around, it wouldn't be unlikely for the samples found here to be corrupted...

Sakura, on the other hand, is certain - these samples are almost certainy corrupted by energies or spirits from Gaki-do. This is probably why the spirits appeared when getting them, and it would be very advisable to study them and attempt to remove this corruption before putting them to any kind of use!

(Another post with the conversation with the Girl will follow shortly!)

There wasn't much that was more annoying than ghosts trying to interfere with work. Still, she recognized that restless ones could prove to be difficult. For now, she could let the pursuit of data collection be put to rest... though she still preferred leaving the ghosts to the others as long as possible.

Sumiko would have screamed. She really would have. She didn't though, because she was trapped by Spiderwebs that had tied her up very well!

Seems the Spider was now the fly. The irony. Sumiko tried to break free but was very stuck

The girl looks at you both bowing, seems a bit annoyed, but bows back. When Sakura greets her using that name, and mentions Kioku, the annoyance subsides slightly, but she's still wary of why you would be here.

Image
Omoi

"Oh... you... you know mom?", she asks. "I... miss her. Is she with you, then?", she says, looking around. Not seeing her, she seems to get somewhat sad. "Mom... has she... abandoned me? I... I'm really sorry I couldn't get better. I was so afraid I'd hurt her... but I didn't think she would abandon me like this..."

She's still wary, and she moves closer to the sample in Yesugen's hand. "This... this is all I have. I need it."

Then, with a deeper, booming sound. "ꀤ ꉓꋪꍏvꍟ ꀤ꓄!"

Meanwhile, more ghost moths fly around Sakura...

OOC:
Current tIme steps should be 69 before we got to this round if my counting is right!
You can do the same things as before. The girl is not quite calm atm... although she hasn't got really angry either.

Sumiko will need to get out of there to do anything else.
Yesugen is free to take one action later as she just resolved her triggers.

(For the record, the following things are still ongoing:
  • Sakura still has a -1k0 from Fear for this round from the ghost underneath her.
  • Sumiko was under -1k0 from Fear this round from the spidery ghosts.
  • Both may or may not be gone next round, depending on Time Slots used.
  • Sumiko was still under the effects of Reversal of Fortunes (told her she can reroll something above if she wants to!), then it's gone.
  • Kiyoshi can still walk on walls for some 5 minutes.

As a gesture of good will, Yesugen turned away from the depths of knowledge before her and started tearing away at the webs. Will they be able to calm a ghost down? Hmm... Fascinating, but let's keep trying to keep anyone from suffering permanent bodily harm.

Dai manages to shake himself away from the terminal and takes in the various tableaus in front of him.

Two were talking down the ghost. A third voice would probably not be of extra assistance.

Sumiko was down... but the Utaku was already tearing at the threads.

There might be another way he could help though.

He moves to another terminal, this one the one Sakura had left the keycard in as she was confronted by the spirit, and begins diving in. This time not looking for research, he had shaken that fixation... at least for now, but any personal files of Omoi and Kioku that might help with placating the spirit.

Sadly it seemed the credentials weren't going to help get into that part of the system. He'd have to try another route if the others didn't find another means of success.

"Your mother couldn't be here, Omoi-chan. As you said, we wouldn't want her to be hurt. But, if we take this to her, part of you will be with her again." He smiled. "We don't want to leave you here alone, though. Is there something we could give you? Or, do for you?"

Sakura's and Kiyoshi's words seem to hit the right buttons with Omoi's ghost. She seems to open up to them slightly, although she still hovers towards where Yesugen has taken (or left) the sample.

Omoi

"I... you'll take this to mom? And... she wants to make me happy? But how can she make me happy? They're gone, Lilysheen, Swngtail, Trustmenot, all of them... none of them remained. And... I... couln't stay with her." She looks at Kiyoshi. "Can you... do you think I... could see mom? Talk to her?"

GHOSTING SUMIKO
Sumiko tries again to free herself from the silky webs and leather strap-like things, now with Yesugen's help. It's not easy, as the silk sticks to her as she tries to remove it, but with their combined effort they only just manage to get her free.

She thanks Yesugen with a bow, but as soon as she's free she looks to another desk, ready to start searching again.

He took out his densai and tried to show the girl images of Goldwing and other drakes

"She's helped so many spine drakes! And, she wants to help the olm.. But, the only samples of these animals are here."
