"Careful with that anomaly, Miya. It has a tendency to give you brain aneurisms, whatever those are, even if you're a robot. Thanks, Doc!"
Head back out, see if there are any areas not currently being explored that need to be. Collect new recruits as needed and teach them about the rock-throwing methodology.

"Duly noted. "

((By the way, could you perhaps add to your action taking the terrain marking tools and containers with you? So we don't have to waste time getting them later on.))

Gently drop the artifact tp the ground again, be sure to keep distance. Wait a while, then move closet to see if the nausea-zone has returned. If yes, back down immediately and lift it up again with the manip. Also, conversin' with the Big Brain.

>Well, we're going to upgrade this place and expand it's production capacities. As it is though, it's hard to explain; since it's not like we can focus every machine on this planet towards one goal, so no single project can show its true might. Though, I would say that, if we wanted too, we could build an exact duplicate of the Sword in maybe two months.
"Wow, that is indeed nothing to scoff at. We're gonna need it, but I feel our chances of winning this just went up a good bit. Now it's only improbable instead of impossible, heh."

>Depends on how simus feels about sods. She may have better ideas.
"Hmm, that makes me wonder: what ever came of that data we collected in mission 7? Did we ever gained something usable out of that?

Now, say that this defense goes as planned, what's the next step? Will we start taking more planets, or are there other issues we'll be dealing with first? "

"Hey steve." You speak into the air.

>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

((More like feed ourselves to the thing.))

You climb down to the 15th floor. The flesh here is so thick that you can't even distinguish the walls or underlying structures anymore; it's like you're in a 3d simulation of a colonoscopy.
You hurl a granola bar into the flesh, but it seems less then interested.
Um...

Into the belly of the beast!

clamber back up to the 12th floor and look/sniff around for signs that the fleshweb is encircling us from outside our field of view. If I don't notice anything then wander around up there in outwards-growing spirals looking around.

((I don't think heating something that is right above us to a ridiculous degree is very smart. Worst case scenario we become +metal statues+. This is a finely crafted metal statue. It is encrusted with sharkmist and HMRC. On the item is an image of HMRC and Pancaek. Pancaek is laughing. The HMRC is melting. The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))

((I feel that Piecewise wants progression as much as the rest of us, and walking on it doesn't seem to hurt/anger it. So with our three options be sit and wait for Piecewise to give us a 'hurry up', start burning the (now revealed to be massive) thing, or continuing forwards through it - I'm taking the (debatably) smartest option. And IF it eats/assimilates me, well then I guess that gives everyone else a good reason to do option B.))

(This barring any of the many, many unpredictable things that could happen from Xan trying to interface with it. I don't want to be deep inside it when he rolls a one and decides to impale it with electrodes.)

((I'm just hoping that our resident Twitcy McTriggerfingers doesn't flame you. That would harm our inter-team camaraderie slightly.

However if you did get it to retreat, that would be hilarious. "Yeah, we are now in charge of this world, but don't worry about it, go back to work, we're the good guys.
Also there's a fleshy monstrosity the size of a small building currently crawling around your tunnel systems. But don't worry, it's friendly"))
