We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

The fact he's been beaten that badly implies somebody got one hell of a shot in.

[Lolfail0009]

Or a whole barrage.

Video Log of Draconik Sankis [Dated Three Weeks Prior] (can't do pictures yet however figured a Vid-log was the correct way to show this)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Draconik Stood by the Odd Machine which he had just transported up to the top of a cliff near Spearbreakers the machine where the newly Reconstructed Body of Jack laid in his Eternal Slumber, a Sleep that was all too soon going to end.  The Wind and Blood Rains lashed at Draconik as he finished his "Repairs" to Jack's Body as he leaned into a handy cane to keep weigth off his injuried ribs.  Another of the strange Metal plates was sown into place with Adamante Threads above the reinforced Heart as Lightning Flashed about.  Finally Draconik Stood up and pulled a lever sending four spires of solid steel into the air towards the lightning and as he backed away each Spire took a full two bolts of Lightning then behind the metal plate that Draconik had just sown in a faint glow began to pulse, dimmly at first but it started to glow brighter and brighter until the lightning ceased their assault on the steel spires.  Then Jack stood up seemingly dazed and more than a little confused Draconik catches Jack's Attention and calls him over to a nearby stairwell and hesitently Jack enters with Draconik Following.

Draconik: *Closes Door* I can see your more than a little confused Jack, so please feel free to..
Jack: OH I'll be asking questions first off what happened during the battle i remember falling asleep but nothing after.
DS: You Died, the spawn managed to kill you, I fixed that issue.
Jack: You? ... You brought me back... Why?
DS: Becasue aside from Fischer your one of the best defenses our wonderful Asylum of Spearbreakers needs, and quite badly at that matter *strechs to full height before sitting in a nearby chair.
Jack: What are you, and Why are you here.
DS: I am a modified Dwarf, yes I know i'm the size of one and three quarters dwarves tall however it came with my job, as for Why i'm here, well i'm ensuring that your world doesn't end and Spearbreakers IS the LAST defense versus the HS Strain.
Jack: HS str... *noting the patch on draconik's overcoat as he cleans some blood rain off it* Your like those Ballpoint contractors aren't you.
DS: *Sighes* Yes and No, Yes in the fact of I'm not of YOUR time though my Family comes from this world one was even a overseer of a fortress here, No in the case of I am here to HELP you and the rest of Spearbreakers, though I will take some of the blame of Ballpoint, you see their at War with my Company.  I'm a Agent of Parasol, I want you to do one favor for me.
Jack: And that is?  DS: Give Splint this Letter for me, you may read it as well, just please deliver it to Splint.  Jack: And if we need any more of your Help?
DS: I have often been seen in the Magma Forges, I can be easily reached there.
Jack: Alright Then, *takes letter*, I'll let Splint know, just show me how to get back.
DS: This way. *End of Transcript*

Draconik's Log [ Dated Today]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I have finally finished my recovery today and have finished the upgrades to my lab and have finished reviewing the Technology levels of Spearbreakers, which surprisingly aren't as low as the rest of their world although there is still room for improvements, namely two things can be done to improve their technology levels, one is a Obsidion Caster to improve the raw material bases for their goods [and mugs] which is just a room where Magma and water meet to form obsidion, this also allows for a near never ending supply of stone.  The Other is a T.A.G Device known as BATTERY, it is a Aquafier powered [and drained] waterworks that has been used at a few of the LABS as a emergency Power Plant.  While I need to check for Aquafiers here i'm sure we can get a smaller verison of one working here.

[Splint]

Nice as always. And now Jack's back proper!

[Reudh]

Ye gods. If Skewer's infected, then you'll need the remainder of Squad 1 and all of Squad 2 to take him down, especially if Fischer's out of action.

Tomio, I ask you this for Spearbreakers.
Review ALL the combat logs. As many as you can.
Find something like 'The holistic spawn bites blahdiblah in the wherever, tearing the skin.' As long as it perforates the skin, it's a 25% chance of infection. Doesn't count if it's a bruise > latch > damage.

Alternatively, view everyone in Squad 1, 2, 3, 3 Second Company, Civil Defense 1 and 2.
It's incredibly unlikely that anyone in Civil Defense 1 and 2, or Squad 3 Second company took a hit, but it's wise to check.

A spawn infection will spiral out of control if you let it. ANYONE who has a Fever is dangerous to the fort. Burrow / station them if they're able to move; if they're not, then send the force of the army to dogpile them when they turn. If they're outside, put the 'oh god they're here' alarm on, (m-> a) and send the army in. You REALLY don't want a spawn roaming free in the fort; even if their victims survive there's a 25% chance of another spawn joining the party in a month's time.

Press P to select individual people to station, though I suppose you knew that already.
I'll send you a PM on how to operate uniforms. It took me a while when I was starting out too.

[soulslicerjames]

I say cleanse the infected with fire before they turn.  after all, if they are tough enough only the corruption will be purged.

For further instructions, treat as if you are in the middle of (the classical depiction of) a zombie apocalypse.

[Lolfail0009]

I.e. Run like hell.

[Draconik_Sankis]

Only after pulling the FTW Lever.  Then as Magma [lava], rains down from above may you run like hell.... not ONE moment before.

[Splint]

Well if he's been fucked up then hopefully the goblins took care of that for us. And am I the only one thinking of trying to figure out a way to funnel the mutated onto the battlefield to see what they can do to our enemies?

[tomio175]

You have no idea how fucked I am... Oh wait, you all do, except for lolfail... OH GOD.

[Reudh]

Wait, what happened?

Anything bad?

I could help somewhat with suggestions, etc. There's always the tinychat if you desperately need help with something. What's your GMT? I'm +10.

[Splint]

Ok, if you just got most of our soldiers killed, I'm gonna have to call roll back. Because there's no way you can fail that badly, no offense intended. Because I mean... Come on. It's our army. It took the spawn outnumbering our guys to absurd levels to kill any of them.

[tomio175]

No, it's only mincer/skewer...

[Splint]

Oh joy, TWO infected soldiers. Strip them if possible, shove them in cells. Can't help them now.

[tomio175]

Will do.
