Drink pool of blood under the pincer.

[racnor]

We may as well drop the great axe, or just rip the mandible off to use as a sword. No way we can use a great axe with one arm.

Don't You know what happens when a masterpiece is Destroyed? Anyway, It can still be used as a pike.
See if we can lock the blast doors.

Do we have the ability to even wield the damn thing?

[racnor]

we probably can't do so very well, I'm just saying we should keep it. we can use the knife and arm blades for real combat.

[Tack]

Put away the great axe- use the smaller insect's mandible to make a hand-axe.

Then go down

[filiusenox]

Metis briefly considers licking up the blood, but decides not to, instead prying a mandible from mutilated corpse to look over and appraise. She clicks her tongue, or what passes for one, before hurling it into the distance, drawing her worn, rugged, pocked plastic knife and stepping over to the bluish-grey, chitinous pincer, working it apart and sharpening the chitin with careful, forceful movements of her screw-driver.

She hooks this to the hilt of her plastic knife, producing a sharp, pincer shortsword.

Then she climbs down the ladder, slowly, and with some difficulty, considering she's missing an arm.

A Idle Engine-Room[up][North][East][West]
Little more than a glorified T-intersection, the floor is of thick, solid metal, seeming to lack fault or purchase. To the south is a large engine block, lacking movement and rusted solid, sturdy pipes go to and from it, most likely holding fuel or wiring. The block is made of very sturdy looking metal, it too lacking purchase, except for a single ladder strung between the floor and the platform atop it.


A dull screen and console rests on a column beside the ladder, the screen covered in one blinking message.
A hexagonal-shaped, cheap lighting panel lays on the floor, glowing faintly, bathing the room in light.
A small gear lays on the floor

What now?

[terkiey]

Take bone-handled mandible axe and use it to replace missing arm.

[Deep Waters]

Take bone-handled mandible axe and use it to replace missing arm.

^Best idea is best.

[Tack]

You can't really stick a femur on a-

You know what? Do it. The axe has a hook on the back, so it'd be more useful than a stump anyway.


That is if we're sure we can't grow the arm back, or appropriate bug meat to regrow it.
Can we try that first?

[filiusenox]

Metis shifts the light to the center of her chest, now able to hide it under her cloak, then takes out the bug meat and places it on her stump...

...The meat congeals into a tentacle, which wraps around her throat and tries to choke her, to no avail, a few moments with the sword, and there's a wiggling tentacle on the floor, it's spasms and squirms failing after a few seconds. Metis picks it up and slips it back away, rubbing at her throat. She draws her axe, looking it over, before pushing the bone handle into the stump, almost blacking out from the pain.

Finally, it abates, the white of the bone visible under he black flesh, as if through a filter. She lifts it up, and swings it down; it's a little heavy, but nothing she can't handle.

Take the gear and the light. Hey, we're a scavenger, let's scavenge.

After that, check out that console and try to read it. We can read it right?

[filiusenox]

Metis picks up the light, trying to figure out where she could put this, before simply strapping it to her belt with a bit of rag, she does the same to the gear, working to hook it to her belt.

With that business done, she steps over to the panel to read it, but most of the lines of text are in another language, perhaps Human. One line, that she can read, is Restart Engine? [Y/N]

Vroom.!

Wait! Shush, I know how to speak car. That means "Start your engines!"

Well okay, I took a few liberties with that translation. But it means the same thing.
