Giant metal centipede?

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Hmm. Giant metal centipede. I'm starting to wonder how this was supposed to be beneficial.

Never said it would be

I just said you could have it~

Well, guess we'll just have to tame it.

Is electrocuting something the best way to tame it?

[TheBiggerFish]

It depends, actually.

Yes. Electricity made it wake up. So it probably feeds on electricity. So you can electrify it to give it positive reinforcement.

[TheBiggerFish]

Exactly.

[Egan_BW]

Eh, it wasn't responding to pokes, so I thought that zapping it would be the best way to escalate the situation. But now that it's awake we can be best buds forever.

In other news, I just finished reading Mission 25.

I'd feel really sad if Lars died. That mad preacher is one of my favourite characters. And he doesn't even have any disciples to carry on the Faith of Steve-ism. Let's hope that fate of his helps.

On the other hand, Toaster has always made fun characters. It will be interesting to see what he does next, if he ends up dying.

[chaotic skies]

New character. Sheet go here. Correct?

[Nunzillor]

You edited that quite quickly.  It should go in the on-ship thread.

[chaotic skies]

I'm in the If Bay 12 Was A Fortress, Part 3 thread. If you don't type and edit at the speed of sound, you're left behind. And then we have the occasional gap of about 4 days where everyone goes of and build piles of dead squirrels because...? Still not sure on that one.

((Not in comm's range, sorry! (man, I'm really the herald of annoying news in here ain't I)

Unless pw allows a small timeskip, it'll be a few turns of travel before you catch up to us.))

Oh, so a comm buoy... doesn't allow for communication?

Wasn't that the point of plonking those down to begin with?

Yes it does, but only in it's own square and the one next to it. We can string them along and 'bounce' the message through, but the buoy is at (25,0) while we are at (33,1) aka way too far to be able to get a message through. And there is no unbroken chains of buoys between us and you.

As to why still use them: they are a good way to mark dangerous areas for other teams that are following, or for us on our way back (since they can get a message through up to the next square, meaning we get advance warning before the scanners pick up whatever anomaly is there), and they just helped you guys get back on track. And once we start deploying then in a net, we will have an unbroken chains of buoys, so we'll be able to stay in touch even when far apart.

Alright, I have no idea what to do with Petra in M26. Any ideas?

[AoshimaMichio]

Search for weaponizable universes. Go to the fractal universe and explore it.

[Ozarck]

Accept a box from the gm. test what's inside it. Or, Like Aoshima says, look into some of the universes we've encountered. check the wiki page on M26 if you want to find ones to explore. you can send some of our acquired staff in your stead, but act as mission overseer, giving directions on what to look for, how long the trips last, that kind of thing. Hmm. or you could ask the gm about the other mission on Heph, and how thye are faring. see if you can gather any info on their mysterious disappearance.
