"Milno's not competent, just lazy. His suit should be good for this, though. Good luck, and I'll be available when I'm done with Chin here.

And remember to get good footage of them. This is essential!"

[PyroDesu]

I'll try and record them from here, but don't expect much, I don't want to risk the camera.

[IronyOwl]

"Agreed, but they don't seem overtly hostile to me. Kind of strange, if you think about it. Maybe they assumed the impact was the Wyrm?"

[PyroDesu]

Possibly. They don't seem to be shredding me, though they seem to be more than capable. As I said, they're like animate versions of those razor branches, my "injury", such as it is, doesn't seen to have been caused intentionally.

Speaking of that, does anyone have anything that can repair a prosthetic? I know someone has a medical kit, but somehow I doubt that has stuff in it for synthetic repair.

[Spinal_Taper]

"What kind of higher functions do they show? Anything like curiosity or compassion?"

[Nikitian]

Wake up, ...If I am carried away then there is no need to obstruct that, and if I was left... doesn't matter... but don't move, just open the eyes behind the faceplate and look and listen.

((@PyroDesu I have the sinking feeling Simus cannot be talking to people outside, just because they are outside the comms reach (100m (~328 feet), just checked it - though if those 'several hundred feet' are actually two or three hundred feet, that would still be close enough.))

[Knight Otu]

((From my reading, I'm conscious. So...))

"Faith... you must... have seen Maurice. He grabbed'n dragged me... shortly before you did."

[PyroDesu]

No idea, they're just swarming. It shows that they do have rudimentary intelligence, but they seem to be acting on instinct, nothing more. That's what I'm observing. You might ask the others, though, because all I can see is shades. If they're reacting to the others with anything else, I don't know.

((His decision. I hope that they're still in range.))

[Caellath]

((Huh...As far as Simus knows, Maurice can be dead.))

"Thomas, go with the group. If anyone should assist me - even if only to be caught by the shades - is Faith, the useless and greedy 'genius' we have following us. I wonder if by now she has finally learned what her childish bouts bring to the team."

"And we are having a talk as soon as we get the stranded people out of the swarm."

[Yoink]

"Someone who got, er, sliced up by those... things, were they solid, at all? Well, I mean," Charro grimaced inwardly as he stumbled over his words, "Obviously they're solid, but do you think we could maybe catch one, physically? Like a living creature?"

He glanced between Gorat and Thomas questioningly, then looked over towards Milno as the latter set out.
"...Because it would certainly be rather profitable if someone managed it."

>Ask this, and hold onto my hat as Milno goes in there.

[Caellath]

He glanced between Simus

((Simus is inside the swarm of Shades.))

[Yoink]

(( Oh? I thought Simus was PyroDesu's character? Crud, I'm confused. Checking it now.

Ah, okay. Gorat, then. I just knew two people were wounded and made it out.))

[Caellath]

((It seems Charro is incorporating Faith's gold-grabbing tendencies. Is it a consequence of wanting to get into her pants?))

[Yoink]

((Nah, I/he has so many new and exciting weapon/gadget ideas. I imagine creating them will be quite costly tokens-wise...
Also if we're gonna lose anywhere from 0.3 to 2.2 team members to this fiasco, we may as well profit from it, right? ))

[PyroDesu]

They're solid enough for one of them to put its foot through a synthetic tendon. If you want to kill yourself trying to get one, go ahead.
