Attempt to recognize Ee-Oon's species. If I recognize them:

I apologize if this is rude, Ee-Oon, but how did you happen to come upon this station? I've never encountered a(n) [Oogway] before.

(6) You do in fact recognize the species. This species comes from a world dominated by vast oceans and low, swampy continents, with a few notably large mountains as well. There are several theories on the nature and origins of those mountains, as they stand out dramatically from the surrounding geography. Though morphology would suggest EeOon to be an aquatic creature, his race hails from a series of valleys and caverns located high in the mountains. There are several quite large lakes up there, some subterranean, and EeOon's species enjoys the use of these frequently, for swimming, fishing, or other activities, though they dwell on land.

A wise being once said "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it."  I was on a courier shuttle, away from the war and from the Zhost, when my shuttle malfunctioned. I found myself being rescued by a Zhost military cruiser. That ship, too, came to ruin, and a kindly Zhost freed me from my prison that I might live Here EeOon's story trails off, and he stands peering into the distance, or maybe at an insect on one of your branches. Hard to tell, really.

"Why hello, Ms. Calum. How are you this evening?"
(1 + 1) Ms, Calum chitters (I said chitters before, right?) at you angrily, poking you with a claw for emphasis. (6-1) You understand exactly what she is saying, and are a tad shocked at the language she uses in complaining about the noise. She goes on about how it woke several of her children, and how she is having a terrible time getting them to settle down again, again poking you for emphasis, and appearing to grow more agitated.

((YES!! FREEDOM!!)
Scoop up what's left of my free lunch and gobble it down, leave by walking upside down on the ceiling
(4) fully sated by your somewhat cold meal, you ceiling walk away to ... somewhere. Where were you going again?
((we'll find out when ng returns))

Stay in line for the lunch, while keeping the corpse close by. Attempt to discern what song the Peace Officer is singing.
(2 v 1) you manage to hold your place in line, and the corpse, but amidst the struggling, you and your various assailants tumble into a heap, along with the body, now looking slightly the worse for wear. (3) The attitude of the police begins to shift, and they start attempting to untangle the various bodies, while one speaks loudly to you (2) about something or another.

Hm. Only lichens, then? Anything else on hand? Ambulatory strains, structural strains, chemosynthesis strains for adverse conditions?
(1) you are sure you have other stocks of various fungoids and whatnot, but as you attempt to navigate the inventory screens, all you find are catalogs of acids, bases, and salts. You are unsure why these are even in your database. hey appear to be for another section of the station entirely.

Oh, nothing. Just got a little...Excited.
Regain sense. Continue blasting rocks with utmost enthusiasm. Imagine the rocks are innocent civilians I am blasting out of existence.
(4) you bugfully suppress the urge to fire wildly on the Firebug, and again correct course toward the asteroids.
Hey, we found a few rocks with some potential, get back here and charge up the drillbeams. We might be able to rake in a good haul this week! I'll leave it o you how much the lure of immanent megaton devastation is to you.

Change action to wipe out stuff with towel, so then I know where my towel is.
(1) you pitifully probe your nasal cavities with the damp edge of your garment, having left your towels with the food cart. You sink a little deeper into the purple as well.

See what kind of DNA I have floating around inside me. There should be a Skeletoid in here somewhere.
(4) you have something like a skeletoid within your DNA memory. What's a skeletoid?

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.

That certainly seems an extraordinary tale. How have you been getting on in the station?

Try to recall what war he's referring to and what the Zhost are.

Keffit-Fum vibrates at the sight of the computer's crushingly poor design. It requires improvement. Perhaps a Former-built replacement?

Investigate why the computer system keeps trying to screw the collective over. Is it just that I am that incompetent or something more sinister?

Every round, I find myself laughing in response to someone's situation / response / die rolls. This time it's Harry.

Actually, this time, it's just about all of us.

Morph into a little Skeletoid
(6) You morph into a perfect replica of a skeletoid, even adding structural density in areas demanding bone structure. You find that you have to sit, with your knees up and your arms wrapped around them within the container to accomplish this. You startle the guy who caught you and (5) he fumbles a moment with the container, but manages to hold on to it, even keeping you upright n the process. You have his full attention now.

That certainly seems an extraordinary tale. How have you been getting on in the station?

Try to recall what war he's referring to and what the Zhost are.
(4) you recall that the Zhost are tall, thin, bipedal amphibians. They are good at swimming and feel at home in the water. They can jump quite high and have 4 arms. (+1 Agility, +1 Dexterity) Their skin is gray or brown and they eat insects and other small animals.
you are aware of several minor conflicts in which the Zhost species played a role in recent decades: territorial disputes, one religiously motivated extermination attempt by another species on a third, a police action by the Consortium, of which the Zhost are a member species, a few piracy elimination campaigns.

"Well this is just getting silly!" Stop them from abusing that poor corpse! Its starting to tear.

((Yeah, this ones goin in the hall of fame :P))
(2) you pull a little harder, to no avail. (1) one of the police officers pulls a little harder as well, again, to no avail. (3) You notice that the crowd has diminished notably, and you hear additional sirens in the distance. You barely hear them over the Song of the Scuffle, however.

"I am terribly sorry ma'am. The breakers went a tiny bit haywire, and my leg is not at it's best. Is there anything I can do to help?"
(2+1+1) you manage, somehow, to placate Ms. Calum. She stops chittering at you, and keeps her claws sheathed. SHe peers darkly into the interior of your house with an ear cocked forward, and emits a little, grunt.

Keffit-Fum vibrates at the sight of the computer's crushingly poor design. It requires improvement. Perhaps a Former-built replacement?

Investigate why the computer system keeps trying to screw the collective over. Is it just that I am that incompetent or something more sinister?
(3-1) you stare bleakly at the Formor designed and built console, and wonder about your own adequacy as Speaker. The console offers neither consolation nor condemnation. It does offer several pages of pictures of bright, colorful flora in a wide variety of styles, shapes, sizes, and nutritional value. None of it is Formor stock, though.

Pull myself out
(2+1) you pull yourself upright. the goop offers some resistance, and is rather sticky, but you seem to be able to move about reasonably well. Breathing through your mouth is kinda frustrating though.

Follow the orders. As fun as massacring more rocks sounds, not getting blasted sounds more fun.

Must .... resist ... the urge!
(5) which you do with little difficulty, as the urge also pulls you toward the ship, the pleasing hum of the ship's lazers resounding in your ears, as visions of vaporizations dance before your eyes.
(3) you arrive undamaged to the ship, and await docking procedures.

Keffit-Fum evaluates his adequacy and efficiency, and is dissatisfied. A few twitches of the strands later, he knows what the collective requires.

Obtain Former-grown computer manual - the computer should be able to create one on demand by budding if it is of proper design, yes?
