Cecil points with his one arm at the machine that beeped.

Get that one!

Upload complete? Why is everyone evacuating?

By the way, If you or Renen could pick me up and just pop back to the surface quickly and deposit me near Flint or the truck, that would be super."

Right.

Use rockets; get any incapacitated team members who are unable to get out on their own--if possible loot...one of the machines (the egg-thing?) if any space is left.
Leave basement. Examine surroundings--what could be meant by Faith's words?

Can I help support the building? If yes, do that. EDIT: Oh, but first, take a look at Headless, make sure he's still limp, unmoving and hanging over the alley.

If possible, have the drone approach the telescope and take a look around.


((Not much else I can do. Damn my giant size.))
The Headless guy is still in place, wiggling his toes and fingers but otherwise not doing anything. You do your best to get into the building and prop up the ceiling you can reach.

The drone, at the same time, sees something. The targeting array on the telescope has started to move, sliding into place along the long metal wires that keep it hanging above the concrete bowl of the telescope.

"Uh, okay."
Get out of the building as per orders.

I guess someone finally got that thing in the basement.

I bet it was the girl with the rockets. She was nice.

GTFO of the dangerously unstable building.
"Everyone quick move move move!"

herd people out and away from the building
Getouttathere.
LEG IT!
Follow what needs following and kill what needs killing
Everyone with any sense in their skullgoo stampedes out of the building and on to the street outside. They then stand there, staring at the building and it noticeably shifts and settles, leaning to the side and releasing bursts of dust as though the individual floors are being lowered back down on top of one another, whatever force was holding them up now dissipating.

Fuck. FUCK. GUYS SOMETHING FUCKING BEEPED GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.

Crawl into sight ASAP I don't want to get beeped at again.
How'm I feeling? Awake? Aware? Hearing Despair laughing at me in the abyssal caverns of my mind?
You're awake, and suddenly in control of whats left of your body. You wiggle your stumps and yell for someone to grab you.

Pick Pan up then go up ladder.

"I man good with computers."
throw a box over whats left of faith and finagle it so i can carry her back to the ship without touching her.

Make sure i have all my boxes, if not grab the missing ones.

Follow mass exodus.

Feyri had one benefit of being in this type of body. She could communicate very easily in textual matters--the same amount of time it would ignite a thought, much shorter than if it were spoken.

Quote from: Feyri to basement team
Upload complete? Why is everyone evacuating?

Having done that in a split-second, she checks her rocket fuel (as a quick action).
You've got plenty left.
"You know, I bet that computer isn't actually important. Let's just get out of here and join the others, shall we? I've only got one arm left and I intend to keep this one."

Grab my sliced off arm. See if I can't help Auron collect Faith bits and put said Faith bits into the artifact boxes with my mass amp so nobody has to touch them. After grabbing arm and maybe helping put Faith in an artifact box, get carried upstairs by Renen. If I can carry Faith upstairs once she is in a box in my hammerspace, do so
Renen looks around...

How... What do you mean upload... Hey, somebody should grab one these eggs for Steve, now. I have a bad feeling, we should get out of here.

Grab my sword handle. Look around (in BT at BT speed) to make sure everything is all right. Help some of the injured team mates to get out of the basement, except Faith. If there is no time to look around, get out of the basement.

(those machines are too big to "loot" easily. )


The basement team, half of it being carried because they are missing significant portions of body mass, climbs up the ladder out of the sewer. However, this time the ladder doesn't lead to a black barrier, but a manhole cover. They throw it open and find themselves standing on the street of cul-de-sac somewhere near the mountains. Nothing about the area looks familiar or related to the diner; everything around them is a suburb. Their radios work now, as well.

"Everybody out of that building, now! I'm not losing people so close to the finish."

Ask Steve what exactly we'd need to do or where to go to get pickup.

''Damn, wish that basement team would hurry the hell up.'
He grumbled to himself.

>Theres a shuttle waiting at the space port. Alternatively, get anywhere out of the city and we can get one to you.


"GET OUT! GO GO GO!"

Make sure everyone starts getting out of the building, then charge into the black wall. If it lets me through, decapitate anyone that isn't a teammate. If it doesn't, enter the void, take two steps, and exit, then proceed to create a an amp powered shockwave with enough force to cause serious internal injuries.
You wait until the rest of the team has run back down the stairs and the charge straight into the black wall. You bounce off like it's made of rubber. You shake your head and then enter the void and take two steps forward. When you exit, you're still in a black expanse of seemingly nothing, however there are about a half dozen people here, including one which is sitting on the "Ground" radiating pulses of darkness. You try to shockwave the group but the blast only travels maybe a few inches before dissipating. The men in the void are looking at you but not moving. You feel yourself slowing down as well, like you're trapped in molasses.

"Hey Steve, what do you want us to do about the suspicious egg machines we found in the sewers?

They are too big to steal, hooked up to some life support equipment centered around a gaudy throne and a bodysnatcher used one to upload something.. we think...

Also we could use a pickup."

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

"Boss, I really think we should do something about that dish. Do I have permission to..." Flint was unsure of what exactly he wanted to do about it, but he really felt like he should do something. "...do something about it?"
I'd prefer it I could order someone with a MK3 and a heavy weapon to do something about it, since I'm here playing Atlas and I don't know what will happen if I stop. But I don't think there's anyone better suited for it than me.

"You are right, we need to do something. However, you are too far away right now to make it in time I'm afraid. But some other people aren't.

Basement team, do you see that satellite dish near you? Destroy it ASAP. The sooner the better.


Tell APC driver to come to the diner with all the wounded loaded.

Check how far basement team is, and if going to them (using the APC for transport) is feasible.

Tell Steve to put location of dish on team basement's HUD.

And ask him if the Sword has guns that could hit it accurately enough and with enough restraint to only destroy the dish.

@Miyamoto: "You know best. Call me if you have any more orders. I'll keep supporting the building and see what more I can get from this drone. Oh, and do you think we should get the satellite on the roof too?"

@Everyone nearby (not the basement team): "Take whatever you need from the building and then get out."

When everyone (except Morul, who doesn't count, since he is in his blackvoid dimension and thus safe no matter what happens) is out of the building, stop supporting it, go crush the satellite dish in the roof. Then grab headless' rope and take him to a different building so that he doesn't fall and die if the building collapses while we wait for the APC.

"Hey there, how's it hanging?" Flint was unsure about whether or not headless was capable of hearing and thus able to appreciate his grade-A puns.

Try to get the drone to take a look around the radio-telescope. Look at the receiver for anything suspicious or anything that could help the basement team destroy it and search for some sort of control centre for the dish. If I can find the control centre, try to use the drone to search it for any sings of being tampered with.

Guys, Renen here. We got out of the basement but we are not in the dinner. We need a map with our actual location. Also, I think we are out of the city. Steve, could you send a shuttle to pick us up? And we will need help with looting some machines we found in that room. Faith is mostly a torso now, but we still don't wanna touch her. You never know with mind fuckery.

Guys, can any of you with a mass amp or manip put the rest of Faith's body in a box or something and carry it around with the amp/manip until we get to the shuttle?


Renen receives the order.

Roger. Feyri, shoot at that telescope. Everyone else try to destroy it the best you can. Pancaek, I know you must be tired but we will need your help too. Destroy that.

Move in bullet time to cut and destroy the satellite dish/telescope/moving equipment we were ordered to destroy. If I wouldn't make it in time, send amp club shockwaves instead.
 Carry Pancaek if needed so he can get closer to the target.

>Probably. They're bad news. Very good at hiding and very good at killing. Then again, no one is better at killing then the HMRC.

"Tired? I'm not tired. Not at all. Yeah, let me just destroy a giant sattelite dish after getting my shit wrecked, hard. Just uh, heh" He waves his sliced off arm in the air "gonna need a hand here. Alse try not to get too close to the thing, I'm gonna try and make it topple over on itself. By the way, someone better get Faith in a box and get her back to the sword. She still has to pay for my legs."

If I have eyes on the sattelite dish, heat up part of the cables leading from one of the pillars towards the center bit so that the cables hopefully snap and the wieght of the dish makes it topple over. Like the exercise we did with the AM in VR. Get carried by Renen to get eyes if necessary

((Remember, your target looks somewhat like this. So you should probably focus on damaging this or the cables holding it.))

Attempt to decapitate the cultist radiating darkness with my amp, and bring my hand up to the button so I can press it quickly if I need to.
