((Those things depend entirely on the Shuttle's lifting capacity.. and the length of the chain. ^_^))

[Unholy_Pariah]

observe mesk performing surgery then head outside and open up a braincase.

((Quick note, vaccum does not mean sterile. Space dust anyone?))

[Toaster]

((I considered that the Deathcube, on that setting, vaporized the most dangerous thing nearby.  It did zap your gun first, then you.

Considering that, we send someone out with the cube next to it to press that button combo and hope.))

[kisame12794]

((I think piecewse was being nice, and saying "DO NOT PUNCH THESE BUTTONS". Too bad I didn't listen. I miss Cog....))

[Corsair]

((If you want guys I can manipulator it to distract it, Also I could try and lure it with some heat breadcrumbs))

[Zako]

((Well shit. Now you've done it.))

Try again, same stuff as last time. Listen to what's going on over the radio and form my own opinions.

[Prosperus]

((hehe, oh dear...))

"Shit, shit, shit!"

Try to get out of there as fast as possible.

[Radio Controlled]

((If you want guys I can manipulator it to distract it, Also I could try and lure it with some heat breadcrumbs))

((I don't think your mindpoints are refueled yet. And trying stuff while low on those leads to... disagreeable consequences.))

((I considered that the Deathcube, on that setting, vaporized the most dangerous thing nearby.  It did zap your gun first, then you.
Considering that, we send someone out with the cube next to it to press that button combo and hope.))

((If you do try that, warn me so I can move to another galaxy first. I don't trust it not to turn everything into pudding or something.))

((You are not crashing the shuttle into the crystal, hoping to go out in a blaze of glory.))

((We could've tried to rig a rocketbike for remote-control, then use it as an impromptu kinetic missile. Though that could only work if its shields are off...))

Miyamoto, I don't think whatever kind of shield it has is down. I'll fire, but I don't think it'll do much more than distract it. And then, I am out of here, and if you can, you might want to get the gravity seep between you and it.
All people in the base, you might want to get into the AI Core or Life Support, because this is probably not going to be good, even if it doesn't hit you.
Fire at the dish, then fly! Try to get behind the base gravity seep relative to the crystal.
((So... who wants to try to make a massive-ass rail cannon using the Iron sea for both construction material (Unless we find better) and ammo? And possibly that large radioactive chunk as a power source, if we can find some thermocouples.))

'It might lower its shields in order to do whatever it is now preparing for. And if not, it's the best we have right now. Thank you for at least trying.'

((Mmmm.... Pudding.... Kinda reminds me of the improbability drive turning stuff around it into... strange stuff. "Yeah, this used to be an alien death world, but now it's full of fluffy kittens and mountains of pudding."))

((...Who will still try to murder you every chance they get. Like Bob, choked on pudding stuffed down his throat. Poor lad.))

[Toaster]

((Hell no I'm not touching that thing d= ))

[piecewise]

DUCK AND COVER!Scratch that. RUn like hell in the safest direction possible.

You just start running. Running in the exact opposite direction of all this goddamn nonsense.

"I'm too young, too good looking and far to sensible for this crap. Thank you, but goodnight sir."

"I have a sudden, inexplicable feeling, that something terrible is about to happen."

Dash to CCR, fire up what sensors still remain and point them at the crystal. Open comms to the whole team and relay what is going on so that people can act accordingly. Open the hatch to the AI bunker and drop in at the first sign of things going spectacularly pear-shaped.

You run to the control room and point every last camera, sensor and data tracking device at the crystal.

"I want SFHD video of when my teammates die horribly."

"OH GOD ALGIS SAVE US ALL"

Run like I have never ran before.  Get as far away from Lukas and the crystal as possible.

"I wish there was a god of cowardice! Or maybe of running fast! Or both, both is good too."

You join Michael in fleeing.

Miyamoto, I don't think whatever kind of shield it has is down. I'll fire, but I don't think it'll do much more than distract it. And then, I am out of here, and if you can, you might want to get the gravity seep between you and it.

((So... who wants to try to make a massive-ass rail cannon using the Iron sea for both construction material (Unless we find better) and ammo? And possibly that large radioactive chunk as a power source, if we can find some thermocouples.))

I'll save you the grenade. You make a mad dash for the gravity seep, but you're pretty damn sure you're not running several miles in the next few seconds.

Perform prosthetic leg replacements.

Considering all the time you took and the help you have, I don't think there is, mathmatically, a way you can fail.

So you put his new robot legs on superduper well. He's better then before; except in the category of having flesh.

Attempt to wake up. If not, have happy unconsiousness dreams.

You dream of nothing. Perhaps because you remember nothing. Or perhaps because you're simply uncreative.

((Oh no. Why, Mesk, why? At least it was female robot parts. Poor Flint. I was expecting something along the lines of "robots can't do suggestive poses" not... this! Good thing the character descriptions don't get updated anymore...  I wonder if Mesk heard that rumor from someone or just made it up.

And I think that by now we can assume that only space magic can affect that thing unless someone brought a Megaton charge or a battleship cannon.))

Continue sleeping. Dreamlessly hopefully. Or at least something unrelated to robot sex parts. If I wake up in time and everyone is running/hiding for their lives, try to save the samples and the research we have in the base before following their lead.

"...sexy...microwave...."

"HA! One step closer. Now find me the rib spreader so I can implant the 10 megaton self destruct device."

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh. Um...nothing. Say, you think we should do anything about the new guy?"

Mesk and his assistant look over at Morul, slumped against the wall.

"I guess."

"Righto. Where are my cleats?"

((Those things depend entirely on the Shuttle's lifting capacity.. and the length of the chain. ^_^))

You ever heard of the game Hammerfight? You should look it up.

((I think piecewse was being nice, and saying "DO NOT PUNCH THESE BUTTONS". Too bad I didn't listen. I miss Cog....))

You'd be surprised the amount of hints,foreshadowing and codes that float around in these games of mine.

Wonder if anyone will decode what was written on the front of the perplexicon...

((Well shit. Now you've done it.))

Try again, same stuff as last time. Listen to what's going on over the radio and form my own opinions.

You can see the crystal and whats happening from here so...yeah. You know they're probably boned.

[aux:3+2]
Welp, the shuttle is back and running at 100%. Hopefully it doesn't get melted along with you and the base in the next few seconds.

((Did I mention before how much I hate that crystal? Cause I really really do hate it.))

'Shit man, I can't fly you away like this. Maybe, maybe I can confuse it. Try to get your armor back up, you're too exposed now.

Simus, if you had any inclination to use your auster-ex, now that its shield is down would be the perfect timing.


Fly away, full burn, to the left or right, wherever there are less teammates. Use manipulator to cool down a section of the surface of the dish, about a meter in diameter. Only cool an area of a few cm thick, so as to only cool the surface.

((hehe, oh dear...))

"Shit, shit, shit!"

Try to get out of there as fast as possible.

[uncon:3]
Well, attempting to cool it down doesn't work worth a damn. Lets see about that whole "GET OUT" part.
[aux:3+1]
The beam that the crystal fires is about 10 feet wide and it throws off enough radiant heat that, even though Miyamoto and Lukas manage to get well away from the beam itself, it still effects them. Effects them like a blowtorch effects butter. To both of them, snug in their robotic shells, there is nothing but a blinding light and then falling; sensors and warning systems screaming until they slam into the ground, half submerged in one of the pools of molten iron several miles away from where they took flight.














My girlfriend pointed out that this entire situation is getting surprisingly similar to something else...

Check the map for the new chunks of map that are missing.

[Toaster]

((Well, that will make exploring simpler- just have the crystal nuke away half the planetoid.))

[Tavik Toth]

Find the shuttle.
