Use the datapad to watch that thing with how Steve would fight using Milno and sharkmist.
We'll start simple.
A Human enemy can be killed in thousands of boring ways that don't require any real innovation or effort, so we'll skip it.
Synthflesh is where it gets fun.
The clone Milno shutters as the implant kicks on. His eyes glow green. The rockets on the MKIII kick on and he hovers in place for a moment before jerking his arm back and then thrusting it forward. The Suit and the exoskeleton shatter as his arm extends a good 30 feet on a jittering cord of Sharkmist. The hand catches the synthflesh man by the throat and the cord retracts, while the rockets fire. The two figures go flying at each other, a trail of shredded suit and blood left behind milno. By the time they impact, his other arm has become something akin to a lance, and he's punched it straight through the synthflesh's chest and brain case.
Go to the back room door. Knock twice.
"Whatcha want? You got money?"
Might. More importantly, I think you have something in there that belongs to me. I'd like to see it.
The door opens to a smoky, dimly lit back room.
"What are you talking about?"
Edge inside, close the door. See if this guy is Nyars.
If not: Box. Gray. About yay big, grid of buttons on the top.
If so: The Cube you're handling for me, of course.
Nyars is in there alright, at a desk with an array of bats lined up on the wall behind him. He squints at you for a few seconds before his eyes widen with comprehension and he nods.
"Ah, right, that thing. Over in the corner." He points to the far right corner of his room and there the cube is.
Chief looks at her handiwork, and judges it just phallic enough to be of a bright and noble future.
Head out of the workshop, and into the theater. Check out what's on at the moment.
Which theater you want to go into? One of the mission ones or a different one?
Xael looks confused for a moment.
"I don't understand, why does he speak in colors? that's not how things-"
"..."
"... I need a smoke."
Seeing as the room needs a number and password.
Room Number: 43
Password: 828365
Then, head for the Bar.
You head to the bar, wandering down the side alley past the theater and through the door under the IMPENDING DOOM sign.
The bar tender acknowledges your presence with a nod but doesn't do anything else.
Interesting. Continue watching.
They talk about how the engines are tuned, how they used various graphite nozzles which are actually swapped out over the course of the race due to damage. The rockets are little more the enormous flying fuel tanks with a bunch of small modules attached to them for various purposes. They're launched from a zero-g platform in space and never need to escape planetary gravity so their designs are different from what you would expect. They talk at length about the last leg, where the rockets will be pushed to the point of destruction to gain time. Apparently they're designed in such a way that the entire nozzle and rear assembly can fuse via heat and still not break down.
"salubrious means healthy or health giving, Needed injury to test things on."
follow xan and poke at his leg in various ways using my four iridescent tusks.
Also try forming a ring around his leg using all four touching each other.
See if i can grind some powder off of one of the broken ends and make him eat some and stick some in the wound.
You tip toe along after xan and jab him with one of the tusks. He screams at you and starts trying to knife you back. Rather ineffectively considering you're a giant mound of armor covered in random loot, like some sort of Armored Reverse Mimic.
Probably more efficient to cut off more than carry around parts. So, just full limbs.
Price on limbs and organs, while I think about tinkering some more.
"Well, assume each limb is a token, so thats 4, and each organ is a token, so thats...heart, lungs for 3, did you want any others?"
Eat the pizza, then try the battlestims bugs one more time.
You eat the pizza and try again.
You're...not sure that quite went right...you can tell they're growing but you're not sure it's what you want.
