"Well, here I go." Milno said, checking for whatever safety measure Jim had mentioned before. To be fair, most people would be seriously worried about the current situation. He, on the other side, sorely wanted the levels of idiocy to go down, since they had spiked dramatically.
That and being spaced also concerned him and the few people he knew that he didn't consider utterly hopeless.
If the EMM is turned on, turn it off. Take the safety line Jim left and move outside the ship.
You grab the safety harness Jim left in the airlock and fasten yourself in while the airlock cycles. The doors open a moment later and you move outside the ship with a quick burst from your rockets.
"Oh..."
Scream for help. Try to break my arm free, while slashing the knife at the wires ensnaring me with my other hand.
(I'm assuming you're using the normal knife from the drawer, not your Razor)
[dex:5]
[str:1]
You hack at the wires wrapped around your arm, but they hold fast, the kitchen knife cutting into their rubber insulation but doing little else. You scream for help over the coms as they drag you further toward the mass of wires in front of you. You're almost in it already.
Go find the doc.
You step outside the room and realize you have no idea where he is in this maze of hundreds of rooms. Perhaps it might be easier to just message him...
"Ow. I'm alright."
Regain bearings, examine surroundings.
Well, you're floating just outside the rec room, suffering from a head ache and a mass of sentient wires is quickly spreading from the overwhelmed Rec room. Oh dear.
Jim nodded to Faith upon confirmation she was still conscious and in good condition, then turned his attention to the wires. Focusing on them, he attempted to fry them with his microwave amp.
[exo:1+1+1]
You focus on the wires, attempting to melt them, but only manage to turn the rubber insulation soft and molten.
"Oh f...forge."
Cut the living wires with a heat circle.
[exo:6]
You focus on the wires for a moment, your panicked mind focused only on an image of all consuming fire. A spark of light appears above the wires and then the entire crawlspace is alive with fire and heat, the wires and walls melting amidst the inferno. You huddle into a ball as the fire rages around you, until the floor beneath you and Stacy suddenly gives way and you find yourselves thrown out into the rec room as the fire finds new oxygen and grows explosively, spreading out behind you.
"Fuck. They were everywhere. The wires I mean. But they fucked off as soon as I got in here. Yeah, fuck off wire. You can't take down us cunts when we're here. Not all of us. Yeah, fuck off.
Oi, are you Brother Lars brother? Are you all good? What's up with the wire's mate? It's like it's some random "gonna wire rape you alone" shit. What the fuck happened?"
"Door's that way Lars. I'm gonna have a look around. What was that statue thing you were on about? I am now in a "need to fucken know" situation. Have you got a friggen weapon even?"
Turn kinetic amp on. Offer Brother Lars my sledgehammer. Look around, especially at where the wires went. Check the entire room for oddities or normal shit. If there's any wire's in the room left-over, grab one and store it. Try and intuitively work out why a fairly fucked up priest didn't just get his sexual release from his "god's-bits" playing handsy-touchy with him. Tell everyone what I just found out (it's probably speech roll time 
).
(( I know I forgot something important there. I still blame the booze. ))
The wires left the room through a hole in the ceiling, and the only wires left behind look to be the ones on the ground, severed from the rest.
[speech:6-1]
"The wires look like they're the anomaly's main method of attack, and they're moving through the walls. Try not to get caught in them."
Yes, I saw your report. Very interesting, as me and several others seemed to be watching a feed from your viewpoint from the mysteriously on TV in the rec room, minus any statue or threads.
Consider significance of Brother Lars' hallucination sequence.
[int:5]
Well...that space man seems trapped in the same way that all those other aliens were trapped. And he seemed to be trying to trap Lars. And when Lars got free he seemed...mildly annoyed. Hmm.
"Seems the best way to go is up."
Climb up the hole the wires were in, look for them with suit lights on.
You float up to the hole and look around. You can see a mass of wires several feet away, flowing upwards at a rather astonishing rate. It looks like they're retreating toward the hull.
Go find Thomas.
You join Thomas in the Briefing room.
Update on what we know on hold for now.
Those in the Rec Room have seen the wires, the Briefing room is now devoid of wires. Brother Lars is presumed safe.
"Glad to see you in safe condition Brother!" Feyri said as she peered into the hole. "Sambo, hold this for the moment."
Throw Sambo my Gauss Rifle.
Looking in the room from her position, she presumed that he was in safe hands - there was Simus anyway.
Target is secure, Brother Lars is found in the Briefing room. If anyone else has any sighting of the blasted wires, please say. Because they seem to have retreated from this area of the ship.
I'll be moving around just in case, if anyone wants to come with, I'll be moving to the Messhall//Recreation area, then to the Barracks. To be sure.
Arming Sword and Shield as current equipment. Tesla Sabre at a safe location.
Move to the Rec room and listen//look for any presence of wires, or any difference from what I've seen before.
If possible, Intelligence roll on the wiring configuration of our area.
You move toward the Rec room, sword and shield in hand, but find the entrence completely blocked by living wires. Living, rather hot and partially melted looking wires. You look at Jim. He shrugs.
((@GM: Hey, is the doc with us? If we kill somebody, can this person be brought back?))
I can't really tell you that since you wouldn't know in character.
Lars nodded to the large man offering him a hammer.
"Yes, I am Brother Lars. I am not sure what this wire is- all I know is what I saw in the vision, and it did not seem benevolent."
Taking the hammer, he leaned it against his shoulder. "Better this than nothing, I suppose, though I'd prefer a gun if anyone has a spare. All I have on me is what I am wearing." Saying this, his fingers went absent-mindedly to his pendant. "Perhaps we should move out of here as a group? The tendrils... wires... whatever they are seem to be moving elsewhere."
Accept hammer, follow Feyri.
You follow Feyri and are just as stymied by the wall of wires as she is.
"Uh oh. Back up, back up!"
Hold off wires by using the manipulator to melt-sever the bundle coming from the wall with extreme prejudice. Back up as I attempt to do so.
"I'll admit, this day could be going better."
The man behind you is a little bit faster and a lot less controlled and you find yourself lost in a fire one moment and exploding out into a fucking wire and fire filled hell the next.
"I AM FINDING IT VERY HARD TO REMAIN POSITIVE, GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES."
"Wonder why they arn't covered in my skin. I mean, they grew out of my back, shouldn't they have it on them? Bah, more questions for Doc."
Look at wristpad, and scroll through messages.
You read through any messages that were sent to you or the crew in general.
"Guys? Maybe we should go to an airlock or something. There's wires in the walls too, and the airlock seems a lot safer."
Keep a look out. Contemplate situation.
You keep a look out as feyri and Lars float away and May shows up. You think for a moment about the situation and realize that the only thing you can say about the situation in general is "Fucking living wires."
