((Hey guys: Utilizing the MFM as an improvised flare gun so you guys can see the entrance: Good or bad idea?))

[PyroDesu]

((Hey guys: Utilizing the MFM as an improvised flare gun so you guys can see the entrance: Good or bad idea?))

((Bad idea? More like, terrible idea.))

[Caellath]

((Hey guys: Utilizing the MFM as an improvised flare gun so you guys can see the entrance: Good or bad idea?))

((Bad. Light doesn't propagate normally, so you'd probably need a giant ball of heat, and even then I don't know if it would actuall emit light.))

[Yoink]

((Well, at least the Wyrm removed the 'Shit, what're we gonna do with the dead guy' problem.
On the other hand... Noooooo. At least.... At least he had some damned-near-perfect last words.))

[Nikitian]

Use the lantern, find other teammates; stay out of Wyrm's way.

[piecewise]

Keep crawling. I'm surrounded by towers, hitting one is both likely and good, right?

[str:3]
You get a few more feet, you're not sure how far, but you still don't see anything beyond unremarkable stone. Oh dear.

"Well, you really should be proud right now." Milno commented.

Leave trail of rope, lights and anything else possible as a security measure and get back to the party, avoiding the Wyrm's path. Pull anyone out of the path if there is still time to make it without being severed in half. Take a length of rope and swing it around a certain distance to hit people in the dark.

You leave a trail of ropelight behind you as you head back for the tower and happen across Maurice as you do. You help him back to the wall of Citadel 1.

Use the lantern, find other teammates; stay out of Wyrm's way.

Milno finds you before you find him and helps you back  to the Citadel. Faith is still nowhere to be seen.
[int:1]
HURRRRRRRRRR




The Wyrm makes another path, destroying the ropelight path milno created. However, rather then continue around it, from what you can hear, settles down near the central tower.

[Caellath]

"One down...Keep him safe, albino freak."

Another time, Worst Medic this time. Try to look for her 'tracks'. Take ropelight and use it as a whip, swinging it around the area Worst Medic disappeared. Still keep other ways of marking the way back, such as the common rope or lanterns.

"Can you try to 'ping' your suit or wristpad so I can find you more easily?"

[IronyOwl]

"I can make noise, but I don't think I can transmit my position in any useful sense."

Turn off outgoing transmission, open helmet, give out a yelp, close helmet, turn on outgoing transmission.

Consider if there's an easier way to do this.

[Nikitian]

Consider if there's an easier way to do this.

(( I don't know... maybe, like, using the suit's external speakers? ))

Think about attaching the medical instruments (first and foremost, of course, the Instrument) directly to the suit on my stump-arm (with the help of someone more-handed, obviously).
Now that was my doctoring arm... Maybe I should have learnt that strange medical technique Mesk was talking about?..

[IronyOwl]

Consider if there's an easier way to do this.

(( I don't know... maybe, like, using the suit's external speakers? ))

((Doh.

Leaving it like this because it's funnier, though.))

[Caellath]

((@IronyOwl: Yep, so funny that the longer it takes to save Faith, the more Lighteaters are spawned by the puddles of goo Travis saw, and if Faith is knocked out by cold, good luck surviving. ))

[Knight Otu]

((Crap.))
What the ****ing hell is happening?!
Get to the entrance, locate Simus.

[Orb]

"It looks like we have a whole civilization of lighteaters waking up on the perimeter of Citadel 1. I have found four puddles of them and counting. If that sound isn't disabled soon we're going to be in a lot of trouble! I'm going to try and secure the elevator. Good luck team"

Travis starts a brisk jog down the stone path, making a bee line for the elevator. He listens to his gut feeling, have the lighteaters been inherently hostile?

"Can you try to 'ping' your suit or wristpad so I can find you more easily?"

You swing your rope light around but still can't see her. You're in the process of reeling it in when you hear a yelp coming from some distance to your left and forward. There she is.

"I can make noise, but I don't think I can transmit my position in any useful sense."

Turn off outgoing transmission, open helmet, give out a yelp, close helmet, turn on outgoing transmission.

Consider if there's an easier way to do this.

You scream into the dark for an instant and then clamp your helmet back on, your eyes already burning with cold.

[int:6+1]
You should try to ride the Wyrm like the Lighteater did. That would be totally rad.

Consider if there's an easier way to do this.

Well...you'd need some tape. And someone who has hands. Both of these are vital elements.

((Crap.))
What the ****ing hell is happening?!
Get to the entrance, locate Simus.

You find Simus laying on a ramp a good way up Citadel 1's ramps, flailing her nubs uselessly.

"YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED A TRAUMATIC AMPUTATION, PLEASE REMAIN CALM!" you shout at her, "ACTUALLY WE'RE ALL FUCKED SO BEGIN PISSING YOURSELF."

"It looks like we have a whole civilization of lighteaters waking up on the perimeter of Citadel 1. I have found four puddles of them and counting. If that sound isn't disabled soon we're going to be in a lot of trouble! I'm going to try and secure the elevator. Good luck team"

Guess it depends if forcible possession and abduction is "Hostile". You shrug and keep running, ignoring your brain's snarky tendencies. You run down the path for a while, but you know full well that there is a long way left.

[PyroDesu]

Allow myself to be taken back.

Alright, let's get out of here.
