Far from surprising, even.))

"Ha-hah! I am Mother Goose!"

Get the rest of my damage fixed in the infirmary. Then head for the ground floor!

You head to the infirmary and they root around in your insides and replace some self lubricating ball joints and generally unbreak you.

Once they get done repairing you, you head back down  the elevator to the ground floor. And I assume wait there for people.


Dynamix AUX bonus: +/-2

Before I need to do anything with the plates, take my arms out of the controls and remove my wristpad.  Set it down somewhere accessible.  Then, if Marcius cuts off the plate, replace it and hold it in place with one arm. 

If Marcius doesn't cut off the plate, or I have time to mess around after I replace the plate, use my dynamic bonus to familiarize myself with the wristpad.  I.E. learn what it's capable of, what's installed on it, and how easily I can hack it.  This is mostly just in-character research, but I'm also hoping I can get a permanent bonus to messing with the wristpad.


Hmm well, the wrist pad can be used to send messages, use simple programs, play music, and such like that. Hacking...well that depends on what you want to do with it. You can add programs to it without hacking it. And no, you won't get a permanent bonus with it. I usually only do that with things where it would be overly dangerous and annoying to make you have to roll everytime, like flying a ship or driving a car.


And yeah, I'm not even gonna bother rolling. With a +2 dynamic bonus you'd pretty much get it on everything but a 1, and mostly get it on a 1 anyways. Consider that the last plate too.


Hastur in Fallout.
Depends on exactly where on the map you are.



((Time to reactivate the reactor.))
Find the reactor and find out why it's offline
I wouldn't recommend it. Not only is is buried somewhere deep in the ship beyond locked doors, it's also leaking frankly massive amounts of radiation. I mean, the guy who is already down there fixing it is getting a near fatal dose as we speak and he's in a massive, heavily shielded exosuit.

Of course, he doesn't know about that near fatal dose, so Shhh, don't tell him.




cut ze plate!

((Yes. That setting gets all of it. As long as it's grounded in reality, I don't really like the "magic" property of it. Sorta like ER. Fantasy elements don't interest me as much as sci-fi realism.))
[2]
TRY AGAIN
[5]
BETTER!

You cut the plate and the arms carry it away. Wait...was there a welding torch welded to that plate?

LAST PLATE

LAST PLATE!


Go outside. Look around. Is anyone visible?
At this point...Probably no. Everyone is off in the debris field or underground or in the building. Though you might be able to see the skycranes lifting off if you watch.


"crap crap crap crap!"
leave radiation death zone post-haste
[aux:5]
You stand up and clank back up the stairs and out the first airlock.
[end:2]
You're reaching toward the manual controls to close the door when your vision starts to blur and your limbs start to shake. Your fingers shiver on the controls and the arms move about slightly.


Lars clasps his hands together.  "We will serve you, my Lord."

Down the elevator shaft or you wanna use the stairs?

Do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight. Don't go anywhere or actually do anything besides dance in place, though. Although...

Quote from: Stacy Buttle; to: the Most Holy Steve, the Benevolent Machine God One
Dear Steve,

Since I presently have little to do, I have figured that I may as well pester you with a question. Do you think revealing the truth about what the technology (or deeper space magic) behind space magic actually is might cause public unrest? You called it 'white-hot knowledge' and said 'we're not ready' or something. I had the thought that to reveal this information along with other interesting facts I'm sure you've accumulated about, say, the Altered Wars would be pretty good for discrediting the UWM if you really don't like them. After all, secrets are power, and if you know the UWM's secrets, why not reveal them to weaken the UWM's hold on everything?

That's just my logic during a short break in this frenetic rescuing action, obviously. Any input aside from 'that's silly' or 'you have no idea what's at stake here', or 'I really don't feel like it'?

Love,
Stacy Buttle

(( Wait... don't we still need to attach the new plate? SHIT))

"HEY!" Marcius yells, "Can you bring back the welder? i made a bit of a mistake!"

When I get the welder back, put on the new plate. If I don't, just give up and climb down.
