"Err, right. Yeah, no painting. Never was such a thing, of course. Must have been a dream of mine." Gorat spends a few seconds to regain his composure. "Dream, yes. I think my real question's coming back to me. When we scoured the ship for the anomaly, I kind of overdid it with my amp to defend ourselves (and I suspect I'm in deep trouble for this?), is there a way to mitigate that sort of thing?"
"Decompensator would work."
I have a feeling I'm not just drunk
Screw it, choose a random person to follow.
You follow the first person who walks near you as they wander down the hall. You stick near them, following them down a side hall and finally through what looks like a modified airlock and out a sea of lights. The area beyond the airlock looks to be a huge hanger of sorts but nearly every surface of the walls and floor and even ceiling is coated with scrap metal buildings and glowing neon and LED signs, a haze of blurred technicolor light advertising things in a language you don't recognize. Catwalks and scaffolding and great, terrifyingly rickety bridges crisscross overhead and everywhere swarms with with people; most in similar, spaceman clothing. The man you were following vanishes into the crowd almost instantly.
Mmmmm... great and glorious Steve... a hive mind? Very, very interesting. Perhaps I should bring this up with St. Milno? Perhaps.
Continue the meditations.
[int:3-1]
uhhh...Hm. You can't brain...now...
Wait for the doc. Think of ways of training how to shoot without the need for VR.
Could probably just shoot teammates. That should stop you from damaging the ship at least. You tap you foot while you wait and give May an annoyed look.
Strange...Nobody uses expletives on the intercomms unless they were composed of convict brain matter and went by the name of Steve. And even then...
Did everyone receive that? I bet you did.
Alright, I may be asking too much, but keep alert everyone. Probably talk to those we can speak with, a minor technical error.
I just didn't like how that ended. I'm moving me, and my sword to the Briefing Room.
Promptly sheath sword [darn, forgot the sheath?!] and cautiously enter Briefing room in full gear. Inspect area.
You sort of stick your sword in your belt and head to the briefing room. It looks...well, pretty much like it looked before, but cleaner and with what looks like new replacements for a lot of benches and the holodisplay.
Milno stared at the ceiling for some time. What the hell. Well, curiosity appeared when he was bored, so there he went.
"What. Steve, why did the intercoms come back to life just now and whose voice was that?"
He also sent a message to the techies via wristpad:
How much would it cost and how fast could I go?
Ask both, head to check on the briefing room.
(( Please, please, please put a kinetic amp on either your forehead or your honey-claw hand if it can be done. ))
((Yeah, I was thinking about something violent with a kinetic amp attached to it to make full use of the combat dash system. And kinetic amp-powered headbutt is actually an interesting idea.))
>Some maintenance man probably jacked into it accidentally while trying to talk to someone else. As fast as the suit is capable of going.
You head to the briefing room and see everything Feyri saw.
That was most unusual. I'm off to the briefing room as well, see what it was.
Continue smoking, head to the briefing room.
You head to the briefing room, trailing smoke behind you as you go. You also see a distinct lack of anything interesting.
"Can I see the Basilisk?"
The Doctor nods and wanders off before coming back a moment later with a rather large metal box with a few small holes on the top. He hands it to you and you grunt under it's weight: it seems to weigh no less then 100 pounds.
"Uh... who was that, Ms. AM?"
"One of the Maintenance guys being an idiot." The armory master says while glaring at the nearest intercom speaker.
"I see. Well, thanks for your time, and good luck on that project, it sounds like it could be incredibly useful."
Bid science guy farewell, go find The Doctor.
You find the doctor in the Infirmary. You also find May with a large box. Did...did a tongue just pop out of the holes on that box?
