Lars looks around. "Shall Charles and I go first? If all of us go in at once, it may intimidate them. With Charles's way with words and my divine mission, the two of us should suffice. Mesk can be on standby to provide medical aid."
((Yeah, that was me who saw MUD-oriented design in the later Perplexicon. Translating the magic system would be... interesting, though.))
Yeah, It really couldn't be translated, at least not in its current. I could insert a modular magic system, but each word would need set, hard effects for all the instances it could be used in. So it wouldn't really resemble perplexicon, it would be it's own beast.
"Hopefully our reputation as HMRC doesn't scare them. But I doubt it." Charles nods in agreement. He continues preparing his speech.
"I have a vision? No, no...I have a hallucination? No. I have a nocturnal emission? NO, no what the fuck are you doing, brain?"
Watch Marcius work on the plates. Experiment with the controls a bit, to charge a dynamic AUX bonus.
You carefully play with the controls, wiggling the fingers and manipulating the serpentine arms. They seem to follow the direction the hand is moving, like a giant game of snake. You'll have be be careful not to get them caught up in anything.
"Hm..."
Check if the VR machines are working.
"...OH SHI-"
Try and find Piecewise.
Well, power's out so no.
Piecewise is sitting the hall, idly chewing on what appears to be a hunk of human flesh that was carelessly left behind.
((Oh, right... when was the last time anyone fed the basilisk anyway?))
There's a line for you.
"I shall bravely stay behind and wait for the screaming to begin, then. Go forth and proselytize, brother!"
Stand guard. See if I can move my arms well enough to aim the HEP at something.
Yeah, you can do that much at least. You just won't be running or doing flips or nothing.
((Well, it was a lizard like entity, and Xan is a dragon, so maybe he could adopt it? And then turn it into a drama/sitcom and use it as propaganda?))
((That gives me an idea. ARM-TV, where ARM operatives provide quality entertainment for all ages (as long as they can understand the universal language of violence) with a great many more or less wholesome shows. An example of the more wholesome would be some kind of variation of the fireside chat performed by Steve (or maybe Miyamoto or somebody else level-headed), a show where ARM operatives attempt political debate with nothing other than speech rolls, a soap opera with a cast composed purely of the Doctor's creations and more. It could make for nice galaxy-wide viewing.
Well, maybe the Doctor should get his own channel.))
I am for this 100% as long as you keep the AM and Doc Out of it.
It reminds me of the television stations in hellmoo when you could video tape stuff and send it in. Ah, the election videos I made with that Radioactive abomination were great.
((Coulda sworn I posted an action.))
Look around. Try to figure out what's moving fast and look for anything moving funny or not at all. Avoid falling off the catwalk.
Once again wonder who designed this place.
[Aux: 2]
Duhhh....ummmm...The spinny bit seems to be very...spinny? Um....This isn't good.
Marcius examines the area below him, and then descends to the nearest damaged plate and cuts it off
You descend the side of the ship and till you come across a plate with holes pierced in it. You line yourself up, pull out the cutter and place it on the weld point before you start cutting.
[handi:3-1]
The cutter catches almost instantly and jerks itself off the plate and nearly out of your hands. Gahhh.
STEPHEN HAWKING searches the rubble for a "#1 Dad" Mug.
He then suggests to the group that we announce our presence. He does this by announcing our presence. Loudly.
((Letting them know that we're there shows that we aren't trying to sneak up on them to eat them.))
[speech:5-1]
"WE MEAN YOU NO HARM. WE ARE STEPHEN AND THE HAWKINGS, A TRAVELING JAZZ FUSION BAND/ DIPLOMATIC COUNCIL. WE ARE HERE TO INVENT FRIENDSHIP."
Eh, close enough.
Stand off to the side of the damaged plate, examine my tools and the connections for an intact plate while I wait for them to remove the old one
You've got a welding torch and thats about it. As per the connection points, it seems to be a framework that the plates are all welded to underneath.
You hear a sound like "GRRRSHING!" as something skips across the metal plate outside. Huh.
Lars nodded, and approached the civilian room. He thinks to himself... "Let's see... Glorious Steve said no religiousness, for some reason. Oh well, cannot fathom the divine."
Open door and greet people. Check for injured- deliver greeting below.
"Fear not, for we bring peace! We are here as liberators and saviors, and have come to rescue people from this building. Are any of you wounded?"
You throw Open the door and step inside. The people inside are huddled in one corner of the room, most wearing working jumpsuits, a few in office wear. There are two men laying on the ground with more major injuries- blood has soaked into their clothing around the chest chest and left shoulder, respectively- and the rest seem at least a little banged up. They don't really respond to your greeting with anything but blank, terrified stares.
