Turn 6"Erin, don't kill it yet! You can shoot me later for my stupidity- err, for this stupidity exactly, but we may gain information from the last one. That one in your arms.
"And thanks for the aid. I wonder if my ping device works as a location marker if we need those kits?"
Examine next room then return to team.
"I'll be doing my job."
Edit: Added action: Turn on Ping Device
"Command? This is Hilda. I er... I seem to have forgotten the first aid again. Requesting immediate first aid teleportation on my location, over."
Continue administering first aid if possible, switch raygun to megakill if not.
"Command? This is Hilda. I er... I seem to have forgotten the first aid again. Requesting immediate first aid teleportation on my location, over."
Noticing Erin struggling with the Zort, Lorren says, "Erin, don't kill it yet! You can shoot me later for my stupidity- err, for this stupidity exactly, but we may gain information from the last one. That one in your arms."
Turning to Hilda, he adds, "And thanks for the aid." Then to the room at large, "I wonder if my ping device works as a location marker if we need those kits?"
Lorren fidgets with the ping device, finds its power switch, and turns it on as he walks away from Hilda, who is pretty sure there isn't much more to do now than the bandage she already fashioned until the first aid supplies get here. So she looks down at her raygun as Ren eyes her warily, notices the clearly labeled "kill"/"megakill" switch, and [2] tries to flip it, but it gives her a small jolt and she quickly withdraws her hand. Stupid cheap add-ons.
Lorren excuses himself as he [2] stumbles on Erin, who is still grappling the Zort with her legs, and he sheepishly activates the friendly red button on the panel by the door labeled "A2", which clearly serves as an open button. The teammates who are not physically engaged with a Zort turn their heads towards the opening to see a hallway, the same obsidian color as the room they're in, that gradually curves left. Lorren steps through, the door automatically closing behind him, and begins to make his way down it.
Command responds through Hilda's comm link: "This is base, Hilda. We read you. Locking onto the ping device now."
Don't switch to megakill yet! You'll kill us all!
"Frankly, we don't really need information. Persuade me why I shouldn't just curb stomp it right now."
Curbstomp the pinned Zort if unopposed, otherwise secure the room and take a peek outside the opposite door that Lorren is going through.
Erin locked her legs around the Zorts neck, and belted out in Zortwoopese "Relax, Zort Scum. If you keep struggling I'll break your neck with my shapely thighs. Not a bad way to go, anyway."
Action: Tell the Zort to stop struggling or I'll break his neck. If he struggles, break his neck. Keep Zako from curbstomping him.
"Frankly, we don't really need information," says Ren. "Persuade me why I shouldn't just curb stomp it right now."
Erin, slightly distracted by the squirming Zort, [4 vs 2=3-1] locks her legs around the Zort's neck, increasing her advantage, and [3] says to the creature in Zorthwoopese, "Relax, Zort Scum. If you keep struggling I'll break your neck with my shapely thighs. Not a bad way to go, anyway." She thinks she might have got the word for "shapely" wrong, as it sounds much like the word for "watery", but the Zort clearly gets the idea and stops struggling.
Ren seems prepared to curbstomp the thing, but Erin raises her hand to stop him. He backs off and goes to look for ways to secure the room. [1] He heads over to the console to see if handles room security, and accidentally hits a button on it of whose function he's unclear. It begins to pulse red. "Uh-oh," he says aloud. He quickly heads over to the other door hoping he didn't just summon security, the rest of the team still in the room eyeing him skeptically. Opening it in much the way Lorren opened the other door, he looks through and sees that opens into a hallway much like the other one.
[1] Franz whistles obliviously.
The Zort gets -1 for being at a disadvantage in the grapple.
