You sneak up behind Faith, who is mostly distracted with a VR machine, and grab a double handful from behind. It's pretty clear that she's not wearing anything under the standard shirt and pant uniform you're all given.
(we'll see what faith does now. lets all hope she decides to test out that berserk system.)
((I think that should have taken a dex roll, so he could possibly trip on his own feet.))
Dex rolls to make contact assume that the other person might move. I assume that someone isn't so terrible that they would literally fail at trying to touch something that is completely stationary, on flat ground, without any other obstacles.
(( I thought I was in my room. . ... . . I am so lost.))
Tell everyone hello through my new device and ask them about their favorite food.
The projector in your palm activates and shows the phrase:
HELLO, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD
Thomas increases the power capacity of his backpack bourne battery, then makes a device that allows him to change the power output from the backpack.
Thats gonna require either more capacitors or a better generator. Well, technically you could just route the power generator straight to the torch, but I'll tell ya now that it won't change much.
Boil the thing for ten minutes! If I feel drifting away completely, ask a comrade close to me to look after the kettle.
Then 2-sec-hold electrocute myself.
EDIT: Whatever happens, electrocute myself (hold the tooth button no more than 2 sec - go for 1, if not sure) before my consciousness completely slips away.
You attempt to move but find your limbs have become heavy and numb. You continue to drift away, fully conscious but disconnected from your body, as though your mind has been ripped from the flesh and is drifting around.
Run the fuck away to the lockers.
You turn on your heel and sprint out of the room, down the hall, and into the hanger bay where the lockers are located.
"Damn. Well, I could use some pipe as a stand, but that would only help if I wasn't moving. Maybe if can modify the chambers to be easily removed and replaced, I could put them on in an open space, and remove them for close quarters. To the VR!"
Enter Tinker, call up a focusing chamber, and examine it. See if it can be modified to be attached and detached quickly.
It looks like it would be possible to create some sort of framework to surround the chambers and allow them to be attached and removed more easily.
((Clarification: Cybernetics state? Am I still spideroctoman? Or has he put what I want on?))
Take a look down at your bits if you want to be sure.
Wait for the thing to come out, but try and dodge.
You wait as the thing continues to come up toward you, ready to dodge out of the way. After 30 seconds you realize that it's much much MUCH larger then you thought. And it's mouth is open.

5 random Xeno species data
Vexile (Vex)
An extremely common and prolific vermin that infests large starships and Tombworlds, as well as any planet foolish enough not to screen cargo. Vexile are 6 legged vaguely ovoid creatures with a heavy shell, small mass of tentacle arms and a great sucking maw of teeth. They seem to be capable of sustaining themsevles on almost any organic matter, regardless of origin, and are highly resistant to enviromental hazards such as poisons and radiation. They are pure scavengers, never attacking living prey, though stories of them swarming and devouring lone travelers are common nonetheless.
The origin of the Vexile is unknown-historically it was first discovered on a cargo ship near the end of the altered wars-though it is believed to come from a harsh and very inhospitable planet where it's hardiness and capacity for obtaining nutrients from almost anything would be prized. The Vexile's digestive system is uniquely efficent, producing only a very minute amount of waste, mostly consisting of unusable carbon compounds. Though non-sentient, Vexile can be trained and some planets make use of them as a sort of waste management system, feeding the garbage of the world into their endlessly hungry mouths.
Siliacites
It's questionable if these things can be considered lifeforms at all, or if they are more akin to naturally formed computers. Silicates exist only on a handful of very hot, rocky planets with very high gravity. The high gravity renders life almost impossible except on a nearly two dimensional plane; silicates are waffer thin and made of of milions of silicon based "molecular machines", complex molecules which can perform specific functions. These "machines" do everything from record data about their surroundings to replicate and repair other system. To what end they do this and if there is any greater motivation behind it then the barest drives of early life is unknown.
Bloat Trees
Flora native to Hephestus, resembling large, black, limbless trees studded with large cyst like pods. These pods contain the seeds of the tree and take anywhere from 1-10 standard years to mature. The tree is self fertilizing and as such the species, for the most part, consists of natural clones. The pods can vary in size but their purpose is always the same: Bloat trees produce no fruit, rather they use explosive force to spread their seeds. Each of the cysts on the tree is filled with softball sized seeds and organic explosives; when the time is right the cysts burst and hurl their seeds up to 3 kilometers.
Naturally, bloat trees are considered a threat to any settlements and must be continuously purged from the surroundings of any town, lest the citizens come under sudden mortar like barrage from the very forests around them.
Blueroot
Blueroot is a plant orginally found on Earth-3. Mildly toxic and lacking any use as food or contstruction material it was left completely unused for several hundred years until it's unique medicnal properties were discovered. Now used to make "Blue smoke" cigarettes and cigars, exposure to which causes blunted affect and increased intuition. Addicts of the Blueroot, those with longterm and high level exposure, display a complete lack of emotion, survival instict and or drive yet have a level of insight that could almost be considered prophetic.
Wandering stones/Stone Squids
Natives of the desert moon of Haldar. Quadrapedal beasts which wander the vast sands and wastelands of the moon on long,single jointed, club-like legs; they have no internal skeleton, rather they rely on extremely thick and tough exoskeletons, giving them the appearence of monoliths on legs. Their mouths rest at the very bottom of their bodies, beween their legs; to eat they lower themselves down, open their armored carapace and suck in whatever food they have found.
Wandering stones have no known natural lifespan; they are born at roughly the size of a pebble, but continue to grow as long as food is available. Some of the largest know specimens can tower over 100 feet tall with natural carapace several feet thick. As such, those who don't die while small tend to grow to the point of starvation over several hundred years.
