Im not sure if taking the elevator is wise, the sods could be waiting for it on the upper levels or even just drop a grwnade down the shaft... perhaps we should hit the butoon for the top floor then climb the side of the building?
Check dead sods for any bodies bisected just below the shoulders, if found stick it in the backpack.
Afterwards check for any surviving equipment that was not lifelocked.
Finally follow bishop upstairs whether it be taking the elevator or climbing the side of the building.
The bodies Miyamoto have left aren't exactly in usable or large pieces. And the equipment they left are, as usual, just their batons.Big old bag of phallic rods. Oh well.
You follow Bishop.
"What do you make of this? Oh! Maybe I could cut myself up into pieces small enough to fit through the gaps in the sensors?"
"Even though I'm certain Jim would love to try that, I think we should find an alternate way of crossing them if possible. Too bad there isn't a light control amp..."
Ask Steve: "Hey, are these beams in your plans? Any idea what they do?"
If there are any vents large enough for a person to fit through them, ask Steve: "Could we use the vents to bypass those beams?"
Also check where the wires transmitting signals from the beams are.
Finally, check for other ways to bypass the sensors, like ceiling pipes, dropped ceiling, drainage pipes, maintenance hallways, etc.
Unless we have already triggered them, in which case just move on.
If that person had just designed pokeballs like i told them to you could simply catch a teammate then throw the ball down the length of the corridor and release them on the other side of the security grid.
Honestly, its like you guys think i cant predict what tinker driven space magic will be needed in the future.
((You should have taken voidspace guy along.))
((Yeah, it's not like we have enough firepower to kill everything around here. Even if us giant robots have to stay behind, the others have enough firepower and endurance to take care of themselves.))
>There are a lot of sensors on the official plans. But none of them are infrared lasers like that. I'd say they're motion sensors, designed to let someone track movement through these halls. Do me a favor find the source of them, the actual emitter. If you're questionably lucky, they'll be stuck to the wall, rather then embedded in it.
Also, your eyes aren't good enough to see the wires running through walls unless they're really big cables or something. The amount of heat or radiation thrown off by an insulated wire is too small.
As per vents or other access points, no there aren't any convenient 3 foot tall vents around here. Or morphball tunnels that the space pirates just happen to have installed for some reason.
"Yeah, it seems like the sods are being controlled by someone who knows what they are doing. So I don't like the chances of that elevator holding up against them. It's trapping us in one small place over a long drop. Not good. For now, I think we should keep moving forward as fast as possible before they have enough chances to set up defences, so haul ass Miya!
Steve, how far up do we have to go? Are there any alternate routes that we could take to confuse the sods and their controllers? Something that we can use to cover more ground either safer or faster?"
Question Steve and keep moving forward quickly, letting Miyamoto clear the way first.
>It's not like there's some secret zip line I'm keeping from you. It's 30 stories up and you either take the elevator, the stairs or go outside. Outside means they'll all see you coming, elevator means, well, what you already said. And stairs are slow, tiring and full of twists and turns to ambush you on. Plus Miyamoto can't take them.
roaring out a Battle Cry as you do.
((That has to be one of the lamest Battle Cry's I heard in a long while. Sounds like a mildly bored dog calling out for some attention.))

((Only problem: actually designing the damn things. And the design being at least somewhat reliable.
Then again, spess magik.))
>Alright. Your route is to continue forward. There's a elevator coming up on the right. It should take you almost all the way to the control room, but not quite. The last story or two is accessible only via the stairs, a security measure. Depending on the levels of resistance you may be better breaking your way out and then getting to the top via climbing or flying around the outside. But we'll worry about that when it comes to it. For now, find that elevator and be careful. These sods are showing levels of intelligence beyond what they should have.
"I have to side with my team on this one Steve, if they rigged those bridges then chances are they'll have done the same to the elevators. So unless you're sure they are safe, doing some legwork might be better here.
Kay guys, I see 4 options here:
A, we take our chances with the elevator. If it does go boom we take the hit and climb on from that point. Good for me, but you two might not have the armor for it.
B, we run up the stares. Kinda slow, and they can easily defend those. Though we could always just bowl over them, they don't seem to have a lot to use against us.
C, we scale the outside. Easy for you guys, though I'd have to jump or climb my way up. Also slow, at least for me, and once they're onto us they can ambush us pretty easily. Though if i could jump from level to level, that could be fast...
And D, we call the elevator, cut the cables and move through the shaft manually. They probably won't see that coming, though explosives are still dangerous and me climbing is slow.
You know, if I could fly we wouldn't even be discussing this. I really need to get a rocket pack someday.
Oh, and Bishop, you were right about getting a move on, but before we rush on we might want to at least quickly see what our options are, might save us a lot of trouble later on."
How many levels do we need to do before reaching our target? Rough estimate will do.
Is running there an option, or would that take way too long?
Ask Steve if he can somehow check the elevator for traps.
Check where exactly those sods and civs went to.
Would climbing on the outside be feasible? As in, would we make it there in any decent time? Could I jump from level to level to get there faster?
Check elevator. How big is it, and would climbing the shaft be possible for the AoW?
30 stories.
Running? Not sure what you mean. For you it's basically either going up the elevator shaft, be it via climbing or riding, or climbing the outside.
>For traps? Like what? I can't tell if they rigged it with explosives or something, if thats what you mean. You hook yourself up to a terminal and I can make sure they haven't stuck programs in to stop it halfway up or something like that. I'm not Omnipresent yet, I can't just wandering around all ghost like and make sure the way is clear. My ability to observe the world is limited to what you all see and hear combined with any information I can skim from the base.
So I can tell you they have the Capacity to rig the elevator with explosives. I don't know if they have done so though. The Sods and Civilians, if thats what they are, have run off down the concourse and vanished. Hard to say where they went, the concourse curves a bit so you lose sight of them after a while. They did, however, run off it the direction of the elevator..so you're sure thats just gonna work out peachy.
(You're not at the elevator yet.)
You could climb the outside. As per the time you'd make, depends on where you climb and how. And that you don't get shot off from RPG fire from inside.
"Hmmm, those lasers look like sensors to me. Let's see if we can find out what they trigger."
Check the walls, ceiling and floors for anything that might be set in motion by tripping an alarm. Also, ask Steve the following:
"Steve, is there any chance that you could find out what these lasers are linked to?"
>I can guess if Flint does as I asked.
