Jim checked the charge on his hand laser, idly keeping an eye out for anything else while doing his job and thinking up more ways to make the habmod mobile.
"Guys, when you get done with whatever you're doing down there, be sure to bring some crystals back up."
You check the charge on your laser. [2] The display isn't very informative, and it only shows you a bar indicating that the laser is about one quarter empty. You feel something small bounce off of your back and spin around to face whatever struck you. A small action figure lies on the ground. Its a likeness of a tough-looking man with blonde hair thats been buzzed. The figure is depicted wearing sunglasses, a red tank top, blue jeans, black gloves and dark sneakers. He holds a huge magnum in one hand and clutches a cigar between gritted teeth. You pick it up in one hand and are suddenly overpowered with the urge to kill. [
while carrying the figure: +1 to all combat rolls, 25% chance to expend no ammunition when firing, 10% chance to instantly kill whatever you attack, or attacks you (success is denoted with the phrase "NUKEM"), -1 to combat rolls involving finesse or delicacy, all dialogue instantly becomes more efficient and to the point] You're busy admiring your new toy when some punk slaps you across the head and tries to grab your gun. [1 vs. NUKEM] You shove him away from you and tear his fucking throat out, causing hot blood to splash across your visor. He gurgles and staggers shortly before crumpling to the ground. What a pussy.
(I even rolled it a twice more and got the EXACT SAME RESULT each time. Sorry Haurk, the Duke has spoken.)
<"Aww come on babe whats wrong?">
By the gods what is wrong with me?
"WHAT THE HELL!!! WHY WOULD YOU SHOOT AT ME?"
Slap him across the helmet and take his gun.
You slap Jim and reach for his gun. [1 vs. NUKEM] The next thing you know your spine has been pulled through the front of your suit. You didn't even have time to say "ouch". [
Haurk is Dead]
((Oh I keep forgetting that thing even exists...Reggie doesn't have it))
Reggie takes the mining laser and uses it on the metal bars.
I guess I should do this. Aenos' hands are messed up and Yhgi has the gun...stand back.
I actually forgot who had it. I know one of you brought it down though.
You heft the laser and point it at the locking mechanism. [2] Nothing happens.
((I could've used my blow torch, but laser it is.))
Looks like we are a go, then. Yhgi moves to a position where he can shoot anything that exits the door if so. He also asks Aneos to assist Reggie if he can, and to get out of the way should he need to shoot.
You step to one side and point your gun at the door. You wait for a moment, then realise that Reggie hasn't started the laser yet. You turn and watch him fiddle with the settings and try to get the thing to work properly.
Stand off to the side to avoid explosion, and try to find a comfortable way to hold my knife.
You move away from the door and pull your blade. Apparently Reggie is having trouble with the laser, and you lower your weapon for a moment while he attempts to fix the problem.
Look out window again
You key the viewing strip and watch the wall grow invisible. The sight that greets you is more horrible than anything you've ever witnessed before. Those things you left outside are using their teeth to pull and stretch one another's skin like dough, dragging it over themselves and rolling in it, their bodies meshing and their features contorting until they're all one massive ball of gooey flesh. Countless limbs and
faces emerge all across the huge mass and claw and gnash in your direction. You're so stunned that you hardly even react when it begins rolling steadily in your direction.
Vincent catalogs the bug pulp
*Sigh* I gues this'll have to do
You pull the bug jaws from your hands and scoop up some guts in them. You're fumbling with your scanner, trying to shove a mealy hunk of thorax into the receiver when Jim pulls the back of Haurk's head out with one bare hand. Its all you can do to keep from vomiting in your helmet.
