"time to sneak by..."

You climb up to the top of the cage and creep around near the cat girl, making ghost noises.
"WOOOOOO Invisible Lookout! WOOOOOO"
!!!!!
Sharply sit up and look around, when more sounds are made, sharply twist around to stare at the source of the sound, sniff around and attempt to locate whoever is up here with me. if I think I've managed to find them and they aren't near any edges, dropoffs, or other terrain hazards, pounce on them.
Your enhanced ears and sense of smell find them almost instantly. You coil up and pounce on them, playfully batting at their struggling under their invisible cloak.
Snippy, snippy, where are you....
Enter BT. Search the right tower and see if I can find him. Try to figure out where he will be hiding.
[will:6-1]
You sprint towards the towers, leaping across the wreckage of the shipyard and then across the dirt plains.
[intuition:4]
You stop near the base of the towers. Something seems wrong here. The Shadow walker has no backup plan for when people come to attack him? Hmm.
So the nuclear tipped rounds that he would almost certainly fire at a hostile ship would just detonate if the point defense shot them? Awesome. What would happen if I were to, say, accelerate? Those maneuvering thrusters can only do so much, would it also explode as a last resort? And how many of rounds for the LESHO should we expect him to have? That thing is bloody expensive, I can't imagine he has many rounds, nuclear or otherwise...
Defense team: Air Skylar is getting ready to warm up and head back out there. Our target is that Shadow Hunter, I'll be providing transport and eye's-in-the-sky over to those towers. Be aware, we may come under hostile LESHO fire. Anyone that thinks they can defend the ship from a LESHO round is also welcome aboard.
Ask Steve, head down to the blackship and reinstall the software.
>Movement is probably your best option. The Lesho shells can maneuver pretty well, but they'll need fairly large distances to do so. Keep moving, as erratically as possible, and if you see something closing, don't try to outrun it, fly off at a 90 degree angle to it. You head back down and reinstall the software. The EXE Steve gave you does it without a hitch.
"Ohhhhhhh bad idea. Can I get some painkiller at least?"
If possible, aquire painkiller, then go grab some batons. If not possible, just await treatment.
((OHGODXAN. There are going to be many problems with him later I believe.))
Maurice comes over and gives you a shot of pain killer. Enough that you can't feel your...anything.
"Sit. Wait. I gotta check if you're bleeding internally."
He pulls off your jacket and suit and you get your first look at the bruise left by the hit. Most of your chest is purple and black and you can see the broken ribs expanding out a little bit more then the not broken ones. It's...a bit disturbing.
Go join Skylar in blackship Sit on a seat. Don't die.
You go back down to the blackship with Skylar.
"You are currently a slurry of undifferentiated cells."
((Even the brain?))
((OHGODXAN. There are going to be many problems with him later I believe.))
((This is a surprise?))
"Hm...I wonder how far I can go before we blast off."
Perform a more details investigation of their anatomy. Most notably, attempt to determine how they normally move around and what kind of mouthparts they possess.
While I'm at it, examine their typical behavior.
You take one out of the box and set it on the floor. It wanders about, seemingly confused, and doesn't seem to have very good eyesight. Probably not used to being outside a burrow. It's mouthparts are a large pair of pincers and several smaller limbs around it's mouth, sort of like a mantis. It skitters under a bed and hides there, walking in strange little patterns and rubbing against the walls.
Charles approaches the ship Skylar is about to use. He checks whether he could attach his turret to it.
Maybe if you had something with which to bolt or weld it's "feet" to it, then you could.
>We don't, ya adorable sociopath. We're gonna use this bloody rock to build ourselves an army. Or at least the equipment for it. Though we're going to have to get the flesh vats up and working; but I'm sure the Doc will be more then happy to do that.
Anton switches the speakers off, talking through the radio again. "Okay, that... sounds like you. Especially with the mention of the Doctor." He relaxes somewhat. "Was worried for a moment that UWM still had your voice on file, and was broadcasting through the PA system to throw us off guard while you were busy. It would've helped if you used the radio, Steve, you know?"
He walks back through the concourse and towards the shipyards. "Steve, before you clocked off to wrangle ARES, I was about to ask you for a map of the shipyards, preferably with the blast's aftereffects overlaid. I guess most civilians have really cleared out now, but could I still have that map? On the way here I saw a huge chunk of building land nearby, and with what Miyamoto's been reporting it might be important to check out. If you can't see into the area I can find it and mark it down so that someone better equipped can take a look. Unless you have any other work for me to do."
Chat with Steve, request map and go back to the shipyard/crater. Try to spot the previously seen chunk of crashed building. Red Hand to maximum power. Carry the Gauss Rifle at the ready, but open fire with the Red Hand if any enemies spotted.
If some sort of tactical anti-Shadow-Walker sweep is organized and my help is needed, do that instead.
You head back to the area near the crater.
>Probably best to just stay clear of that crater for now. That chunk of building is something though. It may or may not have an angry amp specialist in it, Assuming he didn't already tunnel out and preparing a counter attack. For now, keep an eye on it, make sure nothing comes out of it, but don't approach the thing. You're not gonna kill the prize inside with a freaking hand laser."Ah, my good man! Dreadfully sorry to disturb you from your superb reading material, but I wish to ask you something."
Stacy spins in place and bows.
"How would you like to make me into a robot that transforms into a motorized skateboard? Does that sound like an interesting proposition to you? There are certain further specifics, but such is the core of my pitch."
Propose.
"Hmm. Problem is your life support systems. Can't really fuck around with those so there's gonna be a pretty big chunk of your body that we can't change. And we probably want to keep some armor around it too...You're basically gonna be a skateboard with a big fat torso in the center of it."
make farting noises.
You make excellent use of your time. "so you know, we're kinda useless here."
"We require a better platform to work with."
Pancaek juggles the head between his hands for a moment, contemplating, before typing on his wristpad
Heya doc, I was kinda wondering if It's possible for me to get a special, better robobody like renen, but to pay for it. No mutant highlander for me, thanks. Do you have any nice robot bodies lying around, or should I just give specifications. I wouldn't mind some more...exotic options.
Throw away the head, then send message to Doc.
((When I say exotic, I mean both the skill as the shape of the body. just to be clear for PW))
The User you are trying to contact is performing illegal genetic manipulation. Please try again later.
"OH come on! Who put the controls on inverted too. Who does that! What am I, flying a plane?"
((No Tack. YOU are the plane.
And then Tack was Cog))
Attempt to reorient myself
It takes a bit of doing, but you manage to get used to your inverted controls and the world's strange coloration. Might still prove problematic in certain situations...but probably alright for now.
*glork gurk*
Form a layer of padding tissue around my brain (cartilage or fat or something) and then form a layer of bone around that, for starters. Then get the remaining amount of cells I have into a roughly circular shape and utilize the bottom half to form four short legs with digitigrade feet on them. Then form some wings of an appropriate proportion in order to fly from my body and form sensory organs ie eyes/ears on my 'front bit' in reference to my wing direction. The torso of myself will be fairly standard for now; basically for now a bird-like shape with no feathers, four legs, and sensory organs covering the front.
If this is done within the turn, make the motions of maniacal laughter (don't actually make lungs or anything), thank Doc nonverbally, and fly off to the food area. I'm pretty sure there's a food area. Follow the signs and such.
If it takes more than one turn to do, continue transforming for the turn.
[will:2+1]
You manage to form a semi solid mass of fibrous tissue around your brain, but bone and cushioning are proving a bit difficult.
((It has occurred to me that Xan would now fit in the Slaughterhouse Nine.))
((He's had the motivation for a while, but only now does he have the means. In other news, oh gog Grey Boy is a bastard. To everyone.))
Board the Blackship and familiarize myself with the point defense systems (dynamic bonus get), but allow someone more qualified (higher AUX bonus) to take over if they're present.
The point defense systems are automated. In order to get personal control, you're gonna need to do some minor software modifications.
"WOOOOOOOOOO!!!! "
continue messing with catgirl also keep watch for sods
In Soviet Hephaestus Cat girl messes with you.
Bring my new project to a place wherein I can put the pieces together in hilarious shapes.
Bonus points if the shapes move/kill other shapes.
Are you attempting to replicate Conway's Game of Life with severed body part?
