((Do we usually take the opinion that everything ugly is hostile? As-in, considering this is most likely our comrade, is it still going to have... y'know... an idea of what's going on? Or has he gone the way of Ivan?
'cos I'm seriously worrying piecewise is going to do something to speed us up.))
Teal gives a shrug. It might be acting friendly, but it looks horrifying, and he was pretty sure that industrial workers would not want to walk over it on the way to work.
He cocks his head to the side in a sort of 'Sorry this happened' way.
"Steve. Big Fleshpuddle here (See helmet cam) . No threat so far. Burn it or keep it?"
((There. Now we all have our requisite handholding. PW, any chance we could get the reply before the turn so that we could start the shooting/continuing peacefully immediately?))
He then gives a little cough from the exertion of speaking a full sentence, and waits.
And then NAMITES! NAMITES EVERYWHERE Of course based on Steve's response
I dunno. Throw it a treat or something
>Unless it seems dangerous, I recommend not burning. If only so you don't potentially anger it. What sort of treat? How about a finger?
((Or Miyamoto could try directly using his amps to move the thing. Probably easier than crafting an appropriate tool. Never know with anomalies though.))
Follow Gorat. Poke the golden rebar with my pickax. Pick it up if it seems relatively safe.
You attempt to tap the rebar with your pick ax. You can't get close though. It's like trying to bring the same poles of two magnets together; something invisible is resisting.
"My vision hasn't un-blurred yet. Careful around this one."
How do I feel? Are there any signs of mechanical malfunction? Report back to the doctor to be safe, tell him about my symptoms and the area I got them in.
Blurred vision may be result of organic tissue damage. No nerves to feel pain in brain tissue. Suggest checkup before possible tissue damage.
Continue to watch the dark areas others can't see well, and the areas above and behind us that the others might not be paying as much attention too.
You keep your head, and your ears, on a swivel, waiting for what you assume is an inevitable attack.
((Apparently I'm over here now.))
Find the bloke in charge.
You find Morul down on the 13th floor of a hole cut into the subterranean sections of the base outside.
((Or Miyamoto could try directly using his amps to move the thing. Probably easier than crafting an appropriate tool. Never know with anomalies though.))
Follow Gorat. Poke the golden rebar with my pickax. Pick it up if it seems relatively safe.
((Yeah, was planning on giving that pole to the full robot since he seemed not terribly affected, but that plan is out the window now he's not feeling well.))
Try to use the manip to lift the object in the middle of the anomaly and hover it closer. Do it slowly and carefully, and stop after a few meters (in case the zone of nausea is centered around the object).
((Sorry, still no time for in-depth invasion preparing. If anyone really wants certain questions answered though, post it OOC and I'll copypaste it into Miya asking it IC.))
[uncon:6+whatever DECOMP 5]
You yank the wreckage out of the ground and instantly the shadow pillar vanishes. with it gone, you can now see what the object is; it looks like the railing from a staircase thats been torn off and embedded in the stone. There's a thin, moving coating of black stuff on it's surface.

Follow Gorat. Poke the golden rebar with my pickax. Pick it up if it seems relatively safe.
Gently pull Dubley away from the burning rebar. Chuck a rock at the fire.
"Don't touch that. It's an anomaly trying to kill you. Probably."
((Grab the rebar otu ))
((Nope, nope, nope. I may be an amp user, but I'm not crazy.))
The rock bounces off the air around the rebar, seemingly with no effect to either the rock or the rebar.

Felix listens to the entire exchange between Xan and Sean without saying a word. He turns his head slightly, though, to keep them in his eyesight while still watching the hole.
Remain on guard against hostile fleshy abominations. This now potentially includes Xan and (Gamerlord).
If the tentacle becomes hostile, burn it and the mass of flesh excessively.
"Hey, Morul? You okay, man?"
Burn excessively. What a lovely action that is.
Very well then. All onteam, be advised that I am about to communicate with the entity. If I signal you, I need you to burn off the tendril I am using to communicate.
Utilize dynamic bonus to form one claw on my right front foot into a long fleshy tendril similar in texture to the one swaying back and forth in front of us. Extend it outward to the tendril, but don't make contact.
[will:6-1]
You transform one of your claws into a tendril and slowly extend it forward the other one.
Milno idly waits around, having turned off the buzz mode to avoid burning some of the living tissue and consequently causing a diplomatic accident. "Tell me when you finish 'interfacing' with that."
Wait around until my particular set of skills (saving people through flight / killing stuff / nearly dying) is needed.
Milno confirmed for Liam Neeson?"Hrmmm. Be careful Xan, I'd hate to have to burn you so soon."
Keep watch on that tendril, and on Xan for any unusual behavior.
Keep watch on Xan for unusual behavior. ha. thats a good one. Wanna keep watch on may for promiscuous behavior next?
The tendril reaches out and wraps itself around Xan's, swaying up and down in a serpentine fashion.
