"Oh good the sniper is dead. Let's get a move on. And someone take dead dude back to Steve along with Stacy-bot if possible. Or leave him there. Everyone else, let's go find ourselves a ship."
lead team to where Steve said the cage with the ship in it was. Board a ship at random if possible.
The cage itself is easy enough to find; the number was scrubbed but the numbers on the two cages beside it are intact. Not exactly the best hiding spot.
The blackship itself actually isn't black at all, It's a dull silver spike with bulbous rocket engines, looking more like some sort of strange aerodynamic seed pod then a spaceship. The door into the ship is locked, obviously, and there's a keypad and biosensor near it.
((You gotta love "All My Parasitic Alien Offspring".))
"Friends ask me, am I in love? I always answer ye-es! Might as well confe-ess, if the answer's ye-es!"
Wait a few moments. If nobody gets shot, drag self back to ship with one arm (or somebody's help) and obtain new limbs. And miscellaneous repairs, you know.
You grab Xan's head and place it on your back, wedged into the bullet hole to stop it from rolling away. And then you begin dragging yourself away. Very slowly.
"This is really gonna suck when I hit those stairs." You sing to yourself.
Look around. I assume I didn't get shot by the sniper, died and couldn't find where, or cancelled job: not that stupid,
You appear to be standing on the walkways amongst the cages and over the repair pit. You also appear not to have been shot. Cool! You take your not shot self over to the blackship along with the others.
"Ok, I'll take the emergency kit and a laser rifle, best stuff I can get really, at the moment anyway"
The armory master hands you your rifle and med kit.
"Try not to get those two mixed up."
((
well that went considerably better then I expected. And don't get too caught up on me leaving things vague. I have like 8 other character concepts in my head at any given moment. Granted STEPHEN HAWKING is a pretty awesome sonovabitch, but just saying, I know how lethal this game is. Also I have C3S and I am still trying to get that recognized as an actual thing.))
"OH fine. I was just trying to help. I mean seriously, I assumed you WANTED him traumatized. Wait a second, you're that kid the dancing robot was giving things to? Maybe I COULDN'T traumatize you."
Use myINVENT words of appeasing. Defuse situation
"SHNIK SHORBIT HABIATOL HOOBASTANK"
((Yeah, I have the tear, hoping to save it for a true emergency.))
Continue to guard the gangway, check to see how exposed my location would be to a sniper.
You're pretty good, you think. Basically the only way you could be shot is from directly above. So assuming they don't have flying snipers, you're fine.
...They don't have flying snipers, right?
"Never heard of them! Hey, you know where we are?"
INITIATE CONVERSATION. AQUIRE INFORMATION.
((Hrmmm. I wonder if it'll take offense to my taste in music. Also, can I assume Timmy's transformation is the sort of thing everyone knows about, and is talked about in hushed whispers?))
The only response is a long burst of canned laughter. Or at least a very good impression of a laugh track. It distorts at the end, twisting into a bizarre Shepard tone. The light is getting brighter and larger very quickly.
((I had forgotten about Timmy. And it looks like he's found a friend.))
Head to the right hanger while carrying Stacy, keeping on guard and in cover. If I'm there already, do I see a blackship? If so, make my way there while staying in cover.
You scoop the Stacy-Xan Chimera up as it tries to crawl away and join the rest of the team gathering at the blackship's door.
((Calm your collective farms.))
T. stares at the casually rolling kt bomb with a feeling of absolute dread. Not only did he give away a perfectly good explosive, but he put it directly where a talented sniper could shoot it.
Still, no time to worry about losing his beloved fireball-in-a-can.
Look around for an open ship and attempt to board it.
[will:3]
Teal leaps to his feet, grabs the rolling bomb and charges over to the side of a space ship. He doesn't get in though, he's far too busy caressing the bomb and making cooing noises.
"Screw it. We've bonded now. I could never leave you."
T. tucks his wonderful explosive in his pack after mentally giving it the name 'Jon', after '1/8 KiloJon'.
Head for the mysterious docking bay, and attempt to enter ship if possible
[will:6]
You walk over to the blackship and rub Jon against the door.
"Don't worry guys, Jon's an expert hacker. He'll have this open in a jiffy!"
You keep rubbing it against the door for several minutes, a giant grin plastered on your face.
... Alright then. No more sniper. I just hope that wasn't the ship we were looking for. I suppose we'll find out soon. I'm going to try and repair Buttle real quick and then... Oh for fuck's sake... Steve, please electrocute Teal if he doesn't put that bomb away. He seems to be having problems related to holding out an explosive while in the middle of our team.
(( Let me know if you have a problem being electrocuted for failing to put the bomb away, Tack, and I'll fiddle with the post. ))
order 1 drone to search the local area for cameras, order 2 drones to find the next junction for the ship OR escort people looking for it.
Then head over and repair up Stacy.
>Unconscious or just an electrospanking? [aux:3+1]
The first drone searches around for cameras, but fails to find any. The other two just sort of repeatedly bump into Denzel's head like they're trying to robo-mate with it.
The ship in the cage, the cage, and everything in several dozen meters in any direction vanishes, reduced to a molten slag that pours down into the repair pit below.
((Dammit Xantalos.))
(The M in HMRC doesn't stand for medic, but it might as well.)
((...Hazardous Medic Recovery Corps? What would that game have been like?))
((Why is everyone saying Timmy's back?))
Run away from Steven Child-Abuser and towards the Sword. Assuming Grate remembers the way. He has a high Intelligence, he should be crap I jinxed it didn't I?
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYou run crying to the ship and hide in the armory.
"okay"
find bay d-663 via d-662 enter bay, kill those inside as necessary by impaling them with bits of metal
No one in here but HMRC members.
You think about it for a few seconds before deciding not to go ahead with your murder plans.
No action posted
Look up at the immobile RoboBlade, then look around the corner at my teammates and what they have wrought.
Then look up at RoboBlade again.
Finally, Lie down behind cover and wait for RoboBlade to decide where to go next. idly look around while waiting. if he comes to a decision (posts an action) then accompany him to wherever he is going. Continue to perform cat-behavior that emphasizes how non-threatening I am as I do so, and look around for threats as we move.
MeowDo headcount of people on the gangway and building next to the gangway.
..and pass around smokes.
...Does Xan count?
((I seem to have all the luck with those Aux rolls. 
))
"Damn prototype drones."
Try again. While the scanning is a ruse, do keep an eye on the feeds to spot possible assailants, and remember to check for vantage points on the nearby roofs and other buildings.
[aux:1+1]
Geez. The universe is clearly not pleased.
Did you sleep with someone's wife over at Random.org or something?
