((I think fleshtechs also have +1 to aux, so...))

Milno shrugs.
"Well, let's try this then."

Drag Faith to Maurice so he can fix her broken suit.

[Nikitian]

((Ah, the walkway room through which we entered. Well, spares the problem of getting there. ))
Uhhh... Sure, I can try my hand at repairing those, Faith, if you want. Would you mind getting up here?

Wait for Faith to come, attempt to fix those heat transfer fins.

[Knight Otu]

"Well, I'm not good with handiwork, unfortunately. In the meantime, try to reduce the suit's power usage, like when going to sleep. Say, how do things look with erosion down there?"

[Orb]

"Shifting sands. Hm. When you guys are done up there could you hang a rope over the ramp and pull me up?"

Travis holds his hand out beyond the ramp, seeing if sand particles are still falling like rain.

[IronyOwl]

Head to Maurice.

"We're still going to have to go back there once we've fixed my suit and rescued Simus, though."

"We're still going to have to go back there once we've fixed my suit and rescued Simus, though."

Milno escorts faith up to Maurice who gets to work on her suit using her advanced kit for supplies.

[aux:6+1]
Maurice, in a fit of inspiration or perhaps psychosis, begins ripping away at the back of Faith's suit, tearing into the mechanisms and removing both the damaged fin and the still functioning one. Then he starts rebuilding, pulling handfuls of supplies from Faith's kit, expending them all as he crafts an entirely new heat exchange system.  Finally, covered in droplets of flo-steel and coolant, he claps his hands together.

"Done!"

"Shifting sands. Hm. When you guys are done up there could you hang a rope over the ramp and pull me up?"

Travis holds his hand out beyond the ramp, seeing if sand particles are still falling like rain.

You hold your hand out for a minute or two before examining it. You don't see any particles of sand on it.

[IronyOwl]

...examine new cooling system.

[Nikitian]

The new one should be better than that old and battered!
...I hope.
Guess that's the fatigue; should've been more cautious. Or more of this place messing with me?
Now, let us help Simulacrus. Milno, could you help me get down there safely, and then again haul us back? Sorry for bothering you, but your help would make all of it enormously easier.

[Caellath]

Untie Faith and lower Nikitian where he wants to be lowered.

[Nikitian]

Tie the freed rope to myself. Just in case, tie my own rope (still tied to me, I suppose) to Milno's rope (just a bit away from where I'm tied to it) as well. With Milno's help, get lowered onto the ground.

[PyroDesu]

...Wait a moment, if I can still see, that lantern must have somehow survived.

Try and asses what all is horribly mangled.

Still here, not in great condition, blacked out for a few moments there, but I'm still here. Also, I think my lantern may have somehow survived the fall, since I can still see... I think...

[Orb]

"Hmmm...."

Travis scoops up about 1/3 container of sand and examines what it does when held up right. He then seals the top and places it on it's side on the ground. If it moves, he quickly snatches it again.

[piecewise]

...examine new cooling system.

Well, judging by the fact that your temperature is stabilizing it must be working, however you're not able to look at it, considering it's on your back.

The new one should be better than that old and battered!

Milno unties faith (Kinky) and ties the rope around your waist. You sit on the edge of the walkway and then scootch yourself off. There is a terrible instant of freefall before the rope catches and you're being slowly lowered. The trip down seems long, a lot longer then you remember, and when you finally put your feet back on the ground it's not the sand it once was. The ground has a slight dusting of sand, though it continues to flow off into the distance back toward the fall, on top of what looks like smooth sandstone.

You don't see Simus anywhere around.

(Who said you can see? You can't)
[end:3]
You grope blindly at your body, feeling for anything that is obviously broken. Well, legs, definitely legs. You have no feeling in your robotic arm, but is seems to be moving, so thats something. Back doesn't seem broken, well at least not the spine. Your feel fucking terrible and you're pretty sure that you just reconcussed yourself, but it doesn't seem like you're dying.

"Hmmm...."

Travis scoops up about 1/3 container of sand and examines what it does when held up right. He then seals the top and places it on it's side on the ground. If it moves, he quickly snatches it again.

You catch a jar of sand and place it on the ramp. The sand gathers on one side of the jar, going as far to flow up the wall a bit, but doesn't move the jar.

Play Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata'.

You can't seem to find that on your suit's memory, but you do find this.

God I love that game.
