Ask to see whoevers in charge.

double on that.

oh and ask some people for more instructions on what might qualify as totally unacceptable... see if there's anything that they would absolutely hate us for as the result of some ethical belief. we got a free pass on cannibalism because its zartali we ate i think.

[Flying Dice]

Technically speaking, it isn't cannibalism if they're a different species. 

Of course, you all do realize that MIU displayed elflike behavior there. It was probably balanced out by taking out that tree, though, so no worries.

[bombzero]

bah, hes a cybernetic robot hell bent on destroying an entire species. he CANT be elf like.

[Flying Dice]

So, he doesn't age, he feasts on fallen enemies, he commits genocide for little reason... yeah, not like an elf at all.
_______________


You address the humans, intoning, "Take me to your leader!" Several of them start to laugh, though you see no reason for humor. The human that guided you here grins at the others and tugs your shoulder. You follow him through the doorway. You can feel the eyes of several of the humans on your back, and you hear whispering. You realize that they likely have some sort of primitive nudity taboo, and you are effectively wearing one thighhigh sock, a pair of sleeves, and half a pair of shorts. Thankfully for their sensibilities, what is left of the coverall continues to adhere to your biolayer.

The human opens a trunk and pulls out a nondescript pair of trousers and t-shirt, tossing them to you. You remove the tattered coverall and don your new clothes. He chuckles, saying, "I'd offer to loan ya some armor, but from tha looks a things ya don't need it."

He motions to a doorway to your left, "Jothan is two levels down, he speaks for our family. Might be you could catch some of the others down there as well, ask around for whatever it is you're looking for. Map's to yer right, nice big thing from way back. Bit out of date, though." You can see the edge of a large map pinned to a wall in the room to your right.


Your rocket boots are ready for maximum use and your biolayer is effectively finished with repairs. You may wish to ingest biomatter in order to expidite field repairs without resorting to acts which may alienate the humans, though eating Zartrali corpses could also be an effective terror tactic.

What do you do?

[Aklyon]

Review map.

[Angle]

meet with human authority figure.

[bombzero]

both of the above, followed by finding some small amount of biomatter to add to your reserves.

[ComradeGafarov]

Hold on.

"You can grow more of the substance that composes your 'hair' with minimal resource consumption"

There has to be a way to exploit this.
I just hope it works like how it sounds.

[bombzero]

how tough is our 'hair'? rope-like tough if woven?

because comrade may be onto something here....

[Spinal_Taper]

Grow massive amounts of hair, enough to be folded into body armor. When enough hair has been grown shave it off and create body armor for us, and our humans.

[bombzero]

YES, red hair armor for all.

[ComradeGafarov]

I may have just discovered something brilliant.

A simple game mechanic that everyone else ignored.

[Flying Dice]

Okay, I'll be honest: I intended for that to mean that you could regrow your hair or lengthen it a bit without me making you find something to eat. I'll let you do this, but you'll need to start eating stuff if you want to get a lot of it-not that that matters, as you could just start grazing on random plants. Do note, though, that it would basically be equivalent to synthetic fiber; real body armor would be better, and your body is better than any armor you'll find on the planet. But yes, I suppose that if you really needed a rope or something, you could just start chowing down on whatever you could find. If you grew your hair and beard out long enough, you probably wouldn't need clothing to avoid offending the humans, either. So it is exploitable to a certain extent, but there are easier and better ways to do pretty much everything, and there aren't any situations I can think of where nothing else would work better. But hey, if you want to ignore killing things and rebellion (and eventual mass xenocide) in favor of setting up a clothing factory with really low costs, I'll do it.

I'll post the update in a bit.

[Spinal_Taper]

We should use it to mass produce armor for soldiers. Eat trees.

[ComradeGafarov]

I was just thinking that since we have no rope, we could use the GORGEOUS FLOWING LOCKS OF RED MYSTERY POLYMER.
