ANOTHER PASS. SLASH AND BURN.

[IronyOwl]

The warrior retreats, eyes and ears useless and dumb.

[2] You fly in the direction you think is retreating. It is difficult to confirm.

Detach thruster.left;
Unequip magazine.pistols(right);
Attach magazine.pistol(right) to thruster.left and launch it at the enemy;
Fire at IED.1 using weapon.pistol;
Retreat();

ERROR: Thruster nondetachable
ERROR: Shard chamber nondetachable

[6] You flee from the oncoming enemies, getting a fair distance from the other Dolls in the process.

Shoot with three guns!
...Two?

ERROR: Manipulator limbs remain insufficient
ERROR: Fingers remain insufficient

[1] vs [6] You get off only a short burst before the hostile response reaches you.

WARNING: ARMS CRIPPLED, WEAPONS CRIPPLED, CHEST CRIPPLED

SCOUT THE ENEMY HULL FOR ALL THE THINGS

Range, speed, and sensors insufficient to receive useful data

ANOTHER PASS. SLASH AND BURN.

[4] vs [3] You slice another hostile, but are unable to disrupt their formation.


Hostiles begin assault

Doll-1A: [4] vs [3] Doll-1A struck with light barrage, damage taken to some extremities
Doll-2A: [6] vs [6] Doll-2A receives and inflicts heavy damage, enemy squad destroyed
Doll-3A: [3] Doll-3A receives minor barrage; unable to respond
Doll-4A: [5] vs [1+1] Doll-4A remains out of optimal range, but is nonetheless struck by a long-distance barrage, thrusters disabled
Doll-5A: [3] vs [5] Doll-5A avoids enemy assault unscathed, neutralizes one hostile
Doll-6A: [4] vs [4] Doll-6A receives damage, avoids further damage to already-crippled areas
Doll-7A: [4] vs [5] Doll-7A receives damage to nonvital areas, destroys one hostile


!!!WARNING!!!
MASSIVE EXPLOSION DETECTED FROM MAIN VESSEL
BLAST WAVE INCOMING

All units brace for impact

Doll-1A: [4] Doll-1A takes the impact on one side
Doll-2A: [5] Doll-2A rides out the blast by rotating to spread out the damage
Doll-3A: [1] Doll-3A takes the blast full-force, losing their head in the process
Doll-4A: [1] Doll-4A also takes the blast full-force, losing their left thruster
Doll-5A: [1] Doll-5A takes the blast full-force as well, but does not lose any extremities
Doll-6A: [1] Doll-6A joins the list of units crippled utterly, their limbs blown off and their chest caved in, little more than a ball of metal with a poorly-attached head
Doll-7A: [4] Doll-7A rides out the blast fairly well, taking the brunt with their lower half to preserve their wounded upper section


WARNING: Units caught in gravitational pull
Unable to avoid
All units prepare for impact

Doll-1A: [6] Doll-1A cannonballs the ground, blowing their useless lower half apart but mostly preserving what's left of their upper body
Doll-2A: [5] Doll-2A manages to bring themselves down in a controlled landing, raking trees and bouncing a bit but suffering no further damage save blowing out their right thruster in the attempt
Doll-3A: [2] Doll-3A comes down on their right side, rendering most components on that side unusable
Doll-4A: [1] Doll-4A takes the landing hard, tearing their limbs off and cracking their chest open
Doll-5A: [2] Doll-5A shields themselves with their limbs, blowing the nearly-useless appendages off in an attempt to preserve the rest
Doll-6A: [2] Doll-6A comes down about as well as a useless scrap of metal can, which is to say it cracks open on impact
Doll-7A: [4] Doll-7A comes down on their left side, blasting their limbs apart but salvaging most of themselves



Pro- Pro- Protocol for Dolls whose shells have been damaged beyond useful operation is to disengage Biocores and continue as appropriate. This is a bit unbalancing, as you do not have the Mechshell computer available for this duration.

Also, your Biocores may have suffered damage.

As a further note of concern, even those of you with functional communications are not receiving data from your fellow Dolls. This would imply there is some form of interference, possibly from the thick overgrowth.

[IronyOwl]

EXAMINE SELF. EXAMINE AREA. EXAMINE GRAVITY.

Well, your Mechshell is pretty beat up and immobile, but most electronic systems are still operational, as is its right arm.

Your Biocore seems fine except for its hips and legs being somewhat damaged from the land. This makes it somewhat more difficult to move around on them.

The surrounding area appears to be dense plant life, minus a blast radius of bare dirt where you landed. Your Mechshell's readings indicate gravity is close to standard.

Assess weapon.pistols.status;
Repair.self();

[5] Pistols located.


[3] They're damaged but probably salvageable, or maybe even useable as is. Using one with a damage shard chamber would be dangerous, however.

Repairs are going to be difficult. Your Mechshell was blasted apart; you'd need to reattach the limbs at a bare minimum, and probably perform more detailed repairs on every individual piece.

You lack the medical chamber to perform repairs on your Biocore. You will likely have to rely on its self-repair capabilities.

Repair self. A lot.

You lack tools to perform repairs on your Biocore or Mechshell. And in the case of your Mechshell, you lack the spare parts you'd likely need as well.

ASSESS SITUATION. INITIATE REPAIRS.

Mechshell critically damaged, Biocore lightly damaged. No backup likely. No standing orders. Unknown but not immediately hostile environment, heavily biological.

Repairs not possible with current lack of tools.

EXAMINE SELF AND SURROUNDINGS.

Mechshell critically damaged and lacking primary sensors or communications. Biocore suffering light damage on right side.

Surrounded by dense plant life. No other features visible.

?

An unknown life form moves to your proximity. It does not immediately appear hostile or well-armed.

"Hi! Did you come from that shooting star?"

GRAB SWORD. EXAMINE PLANTLIFE FOR EDIBLENESS OR UTILITY PURPOSES.

[Krath]

Attempt to salvage left arm to jury rig some temporary repairs to at least the thrusters of the Mechshell. Investigate the surrounding area in detail.

[Harry Baldman]

"Unknown life-form, you do not appear well-armed or hostile. Am I correct in my assessment? You do not wish to kill and eat me, in layman's terms? Also, hi."

Ask. Assess whether the Heavy Pulse Rifle is still functional to some degree. Get an idea of Mechshell and Biocore functionality levels.

[Empiricist]

RUN AUTOREPAIR SYSTEM. RUN RUDIMENTARY PLANET SCAN IF SYSTEMS ALLOW. SCAN FOR MATERIALS CRAFTABLE INTO POTENTIAL SPARE PARTS FOR DOLL REPAIR.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Have an idea of what to do, or at least exposit what the heck I am to myself.

[Flying Dice]

Scan surroundings with an emphasis on materials which could potentially be used for Doll repair and Biocore upkeep.
