  3. Falling and Jumping. D8
  4. Pausing time.  D6
Description: A letter (an actual old-fashioned letter!) slips into a slot in the front door of an Tony Timeless' office.  What would you like to do?

Tony's Action: I'm going to disconnect my neuroplug and walk over to pick the letter up.  I examine the letter.

Description: The envelope smells of some sort of flower and is a bit sticky in one corner.  Outside the door, you hear distant footsteps and a door closing.  Looks like you won't be following the person who left it. 

Tony's Action: Open it.

Description: Inside the envelope is single page with letters pasted on, that says "Simon Says play along.  Jerry Fanicole's ransom is $1.5 million.  Drop instructions to follow."  The name is familiar...  Fanicole is the last name of a local car dealership owner.

Tony: I try to remember everything I can about him. 

Description:  Succeed.  Jerry Fanicole is the son of Simon Fanicole, who owns several local car dealerships.  Simon's net worth, at last estimate, was $15 million.  You don't know anything more about Simon Fanicole or his business.

Tony: I pick up my lump of playdough, put on my hat, and head out the door. I'm headed to talk to Jerry Fanicole!

Tony Timeless and Finding the Enteramin Orb

 What will our story be about?
Tracking down the baddies who heisted a small glowing orb that produces enough power to run a space ship.  Outer Space detectives/police.  

Hero: Tony Timeless
Appearance: Short.  Glasses.  One side of his head hair replaced by a skull cap made of circuits.  One leg and one arm bionic.  Has an Australian accent. Pet koala.
What is Tony Timeless good at?:
  1. Remembering Knowledge.  D12
  2. Creating things out of existing matter.  D10
  3. Falling and Jumping. D8
  4. Pausing time.  D6

The Story:
On a giant space station, in a small section of what could be considered a science area, a small light burst forth in the darkness.  It began to cut a small hole in the plate wall of the space station, starting a swirling vortex of air escaping the room.  A dark figure floats toward a supply cabinet and upon opening it sees their target - a glowing orb, about the size of a baseball, which alternately pulses and swirls.  The newly created enteramin passes into the hands of who knows who....

Tony Timeless relaxed in his comfy arm chair.  It barely supports his weight because the mechanical parts of his body are made out of super-dense alloy and have increased his weight nearly 3 times!  A blinking light appears in the corner of his vision, and he notes it and answers the call.

Prescient Malon: "Hi Tony."
Tony: Hi Malon.  What can I do for you? Anything that can take me away from the boredom of reviewing my article for Gumshoe Quarterly?
Malon: Actually, yes, we have a wonderful opportunity for you to see the newest technology in the galaxy.
Tony: (Ah, you want me to go somewhere I don't want to go, eh?)
Malon:
