So I sat down here this morning to begin work on the final few installments of Inconsistencies Continued (there were three left) and I decided that I wasn't going to finish it because I don't really like it anymore.
...I'm really irritated about gaming/GURPS/real life/etc right now so I need to get this out of the way before I continue or the post is going to be all passive aggressive and sarcastic: GRRR! LOUD ANGRY NOISES!
Ok, all better.
Inconsistencies began to bore me, it was just something funny I started because Jeremy got a kick out of it and I like it when Jeremy can enjoy my writing and other shenanigans. That is why I like GURPS so much. Its a excellent system with a lot more realism/simulationism (and rules) than DnD and it is a system Jeremy and I have a very real affection for and another thing we can bond over.
So what happened next in Inconsistencies Continued? The next scene was the group burning rubber to a Wehrmacht outpost, something with a hangar of some kind. When they crashed through the gates and had defeated the majority of the forces contained within the gates of the outpost the Robot began receiving that unknown sensor input again, except that this time he was able to deduce that it was a sensor that detected the presence of his brother, because his brother and the others of that team had caught up with the Robot and his team. There would have a been an episode strictly about them all threatening each other with hints at their various back stories and how they're all involved in each other's lives and whatnot. Eventually violence breaks out and the most intense firefight of the series begins and ends. The Gangster is wounded badly and we get a nice scene of the the Driver dragging the Gangster by his shirt collar towards the hangar and both of them unloading with the pistol and piano, respectively, on their enemies.
My original ending was going to be the group spitting on the remains of their most worthy foes and entering the hangar and to end it there, and just say that what happens next is up to the reader and possibly Eric's campaign. My ending, as the writer, is that they commandeer a jet and begin their flight to Germany. The Robot cracks open his insides and the Sorcerer begins draining off his power source to shield the jet from the sight of man and machine. The Robot is only having him shield the jet because he needs the Sorcerer's abilities to destabilize his TeslaCo power source. With his insides exposed and his power source now unstable the Robot plunges his fist into himself and breaks open the shielding on his interior and sets off a chain reaction that causes his powers source to detonate. This destroys the jet, both alpha and bravo team, and as the blast expands it begins to ignite larger and larger portions of Earth's atmosphere (even the nitrogen because I say so and Tesla was a nutter), the sky quite literally burns and a massive chunk of Earth's population dies.
With so many deaths, the beacon that is the Reich's occultists is shut down and the demons lose interest in coming to a dead world. Earth and a small portion of its population survive. The good guys win.
