((Fun fact time: Sunday is in fact usually my busiest day. In other news I would not advise asking about Drooth Blossoms, high probability of leading to BAD END.))

[THE PLASMA CUTTER HAVE A MAXIMUM RANGE OF 0.5 METERS AND AS SUCH ARE ONLY SUITABLE AS MELEE RANGE WEAPONS. THEY WOULD BE EFFECTIVE AGAINST ARMOUR HOWEVER.
ESTIMATIONS INDICATE INSUFFICIENT TIME TO REPAIR MANUFACTORY AND CONSTRUCT SNIPER RIFLE FIREARM.
THE COMBAT DRONES APPEAR TO BE LARGELY FINE, BUT ARE CURRENTLY INACCESSIBLE WITHOUT DESTROYING LARGE AMOUNTS OF SIGNIFICANT SHIP SUPERSTRUCTURE.
NO STUN GRENADES ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
OUR CRAFT IS CURRENTLY IN THE FORM A DROOTH BLOSSOM. FORTUNATELY THIS SHAPE IS AT LEAST SOMEWHAT AERODYNAMIC, OTHERWISE OUR UNORTHODOX LANDING COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH LESS PLEASANTLY. OUR MAGNETIC MAGIC FROM SELF-REPAIR SYSTEMS GIVES US A LIMITED ABILITY TO SOMEWHAT RECONFIGURE THE FORM OF THE SHIP OVER TIME, HOWEVER A GIANT DRILL IS NOT FEASIBLE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.]

While it would be impossible to seal all the gaps in the hull before the group reaches the ship, the drones should be able to seal of access to the vital systems you have managed to gain control of using scrap hull metal and some repair supplies before the gathering reaches you. As such you order them to do so posthaste.

[Y1:M1:D3:H3.5]

The lifeforms come within 100 metres of the spaceship. A strange mix of reverence, awe, curiosity, wariness, and the possibility of underlying aggression greets the psionic senses of the organic subcores, emanating from the lifeforms.

ROLL THE DICE OF FORTUNA
((17: Become fanatical. Decode most words in the language))

The majority of the OSCs advise to attempt to establish communications with the group. As such you have the auxiliary drone head out to act as a envoy. You first transmit a standard greeting in the language of the creators in audio format, the sounds seemingly coming from all around the congregation. All appear to react, but not with what seems to be comprehension. Thereafter you have the drone transmit a greeting through electromagnetic means, which seems to cause some of the more heavily decorated organisms to fall into the throes of what appears to be religious ecstasy. What follows is several hours of supplication and babbling from the organisms, which you eventually manage to pick apart, since fortunately most of them appear to have no form of mental protection at all. It seems that they view you as godsent heavengifts, greatly gifted in the holy ways of magnetism. Great fervour and the beginnings of fanaticism for their new gods on earth can be sensed from the beings. They apparently come from a great holy shrine to their faith to the north, close to the center of their faith, the magnetic north pole, the quadraped(whose true nature you are as yet unable to determine, though the faithful seem to speak of it in a derogatory manner), and biped from earlier apparently reported to them a great metal skybeast haunted by unseen ghosts who made unholy and unbearable loud noises from thin air without warning.

Your new worshippers ask what you will of them. Throughout all this the figure on the palanquin has remained silent and the rest of the group has not mentioned him. You detect anomalous electromagnetic emissions from him as well as some strange form of magic.

What must be done?

[Dariush]

Hey fellow OSCs, we need a martyr volunteer to ask our dearest ship what a Drooth Blossom is. Also, I doubt 'votage' is a word. Also, isn't it a bit too hardcore to hinge something as vital as the group's reaction (and, logically, all subsequent interaction) to us on a single roll?

Can we actually speak the decoded language?

Estimate their technological advancements. Decide whether they can be allowed to attempt to fix our hull (or some other non- or low-technological part). If yes, order them to do so.

[TopHat]

Support OSC Dariush.

[LordSlowpoke]

Nominate OSC Dariush to ask ship what a Drooth Blossom is.

^{you asked for it}

[Dariush]

Politely decline.

((Normally yes, however they're reaction really could have gone either way here(see you as unholy abominations etc.) so I decided to opt for a roll this time. If you had been more specific than "establish communications" I would not have rolled.

You can imitate the sounds of the language and thus speak it yes, you're intonation and inflection is still a bit odd though.))

[forsaken1111]

I vote to keep them away from us at all costs. We can demand materials from them but DO NOT LET THEM INSIDE THE SHIP.

[Aklyon]

The inside of the ship is denied to them, I agree on that.

Nominate 1 currently inactive OSC to ask of Drooth Blossoms.

[Xantalos]

The inside of the ship is denied to them, I agree on that.

Nominate 1 currently inactive OSC to ask of Drooth Blossoms.

I support this. If none are available, OSC Dariush should inquire.

[Morrigi]

We must know the secrets of the Drooth Blossoms.

[Aklyon]

Is Morrigi interested in asking for us?

[forsaken1111]

Honestly its probably just a certain type of flower. Who cares? We can access the data later, after we deal with the railgun-toting savages.

[Deny]

Ask them what they want, then offer it (As long as we actually can achieve it or it doesn't let them in the ship) and grant it and in return make them bring reasources and protect us, until the combat drones are online, these organics may be our best defense

EDIT Actually, keep them away from the ship, which is obviusly the giant metal skybeast they describe, they might lose faith in us if they see it, since I think they are worshipping the drone

[Demonic Spoon]

((Advise not to ask about Drooth Blossoms. ASK ABOUT DROOTH BLOSSOMS. I forgot that you don't tell players not to do something. Also, I'm going to be taking a break from the quest for today, just to give y'all a headsup.))

[Dariush]

Why do I either get killed or become a scapegoat in every damned single forum game I play?

IMPOLITELY DECLINE.
