Alright. I've gotten reestablished.
On my way to the armory, I was ambushed for the first time. They were pretty tall, spindly things. They hit really hard, and moved fast too. Died in only a couple good shots, though. They hadn't gotten to the armory yet, thank god. I fought about five of the things on my way there. They don't drop much, unfortunately. A few pieces of Titanochitin. The things were called Aum, by the way.
Anyways, when I got to the armory, there was only one Aum in there; a large, imposing one, wearing a high tier breastplate I made ages ago, and a gun that I'd sworn by in my earlier days. What ensued was a vicious fight. Each shot I took at it reduced a large amount of its health, but it was so fucking fast that most didn't connect. Meanwhile, he took out swathes of my health with each hit. By the time I finally killed him, I was down to 26/134828398 health, with no QuickMeds left. One more hit and I would have been dead. I thought I was safe. I thought that was the worst of it. But no. Do you know what it dropped? My armor and gun. A lot of Titanochitin and some pinecones I didn't dare loot. And a note, which read:
Aw, did you have trouble with him?
Well guess what.
There's 210 more where that came from, and you haven't even seen any of the midbosses yet.

Did they go through and designate a dungeon designed within my base?!
Regardless, the armory was secured. All vents were collapsed, and the blast doors were secured. Now to move on to target #2: Medbay. To make a long story short, I found that they were
breeding. There were massive, swollen Aum laying eggs, even in battle. They hatched in a number of minutes. I found three of the egg laying ones on the short walk from my armory to my medbay. After barely surviving the fights, I finally made it into the Medbay. A vicious fight ensued, and I managed to get the bay back online. I have a respawn point again! What's more, the cord to the main grid they destroyed was in the room. Main grid is now back online, though I can't say for how long. Using some of the less crucial machinery in the medbay, I've put together a rudimentary battery, connected to a remote backup waypoint I've set up using some wireless power relays.
I have an offer. Any and all of the pinecones recovered from the base, as much Titanochitin as you can carry, some of the ingredients and machinery I'm willing to part with, and the thrill of the fight against a totally unknown foe in exchange for coming over and helping me with the Aum infestation. Only stipulation being that I want to preserve my base, so nothing dealing massive collateral damage. PM me in game. I'll send you the waypoint ID and sector # (The base is kept a secret by and large.)
