"I...think we should get out of here."

[Thearpox]

Oh, and Sean. I think Alvin is already dead. Along with all the data he stored. Okay, maybe not all the data.))

((Well, not dead, technically. I would hesitate to call the status of an AI of his type "living". But probably destroyed, yes. The commotion is probably his laser turrets giving the monster a what-for. That's still as in-character as I can make Anton react though. And our life support is still a lot of powered machinery, largely, and still underground. Cutting the power to save what's left seems like a good course of action.))

((Oh, right. Laser turrets. I honestly didn't think they'd come into play, and I didn't understand the metaphor.

I thought it was just a sign that something worse was about to come out of the underground.))

[Sean Mirrsen]

((Oh it's coming, make no mistake. It'll just be a little worse for wear when it comes after us. I fully expect Lukas' wave motion cannon being necessary in this encounter. If this thing is to scale with the thing it's inspired by, we're talking Shai-Hulud scale.))

[Radio Controlled]

"Damn, this is really bad.

I suggest anyone still in the base get the hell out off there. Right the frak now.

Everyone else, if you have an idea to lure that thing away from base, now would be the time. I think anyone who still has some flight capability should put their radio transmitters to max and start blasting while moving away from the group. Then, when it starts going toward the new source, that person puts out his radio and flies away full speed. That might buy us some time at the very least."


Try to think if I could boost my or someone else's radio transmitter. Then start spreading out the people who are in the group here, close enough to stay in sight but far enough not to be swallowed whole if it were to show up here.

[Tavik Toth]

Put radio to ma.x

"Putting radio to max!"

((I'd suggest a course of action, but Anton's radio is inoperative, so he can't hear you. And he's likely to assume that the radio silence is either an effect of the creature, or everyone else being strangely aware of the danger and cooperative... nah, he'll think it's the creature.))

Miyamoto, my rockets are still perfectly intact, though I'm not sure I like the idea of being radio bait. Won't work anyways, if we can't kill the EM or magnetics emanating from the base, whichever is guiding it. If it does work, I might try to guide it to the radiation anomaly, which might blind or distract it, or possibly kill it.

[Radio Controlled]

Put radio to ma.x

"Putting radio to max!"

"Wait, you can fly? Cause if not you're not the right person for this, i need someone that can quickly fly up and away out of trouble.

In fact, everyone here should scatter around in case our radio chatter is already guiding it here."

"I know it's a bit of a long shot, but it's the best I can think off right now to help out those stuck in the base. Dammit, if only i still had my rocket pack, I could do it easily myself."

"I'm in a rocket bike."

[Unholy_Pariah]

walk closer to base set radio to maximum and begin singing about how tasty i am.
If i get the worms attention turn and flee, if the worms begin to catch up shut off my radio and run straight to gilgamesh.

((Actually lets not go closer, ive survived this long by not taking stupid risks, lets keep it that way... silly actions are a completely different story however.))

[Thearpox]

((Those rolls for distracting worms should be Speech rolls.

I'm just imagining a chorus of HMRC members gathered around the base singing about how tasty they are. A Broadway number.
I don't know about you, but I find it very funny.))

[Doomblade187]

"The supplies are in the way of the storm, right? Let's move them over to the shuttle half- it's good shelter."

Run up to the supplies, and move them to the shuttle half, nutri-packs first if I can't carry them all.

"HOLD ON LARS!"

Return to base, and find Lars. Give him his helmet, and tell him to get out. Search for any ammo I can find, or failing that, any other guns. If attacked, beat them with my shovel.

[Zako]

"You got it. I'm becoming a flying distraction. I sure hope I don't get eaten."

Radio transmitter power to max and fly away from everyone and the base. Watch for jumping worms.

[Prosperus]

Wait and see what happens (from a safe distance)
