[...]So our options boil down to killing it here and hope that it's "good enough", or just running away and hoping that all goes well.
...Is our hope backed by anything reasonable other than 'get away from this area'?
Just get to pushing it--I'll deliver the final push if needed, or if anyone can rig up my rockets (as far as I recall, I do think Steve did say they can be cranked up...towards some kind of limit?)\\
How big or heavy is the sarcophagus?
I'd guess....five or six hundred pounds? No exact number, but it's the weight of a man in a coffin made out of fused sand or glass.
((For me, weight == the matter. So the composition doesn't matter given that we know the weight [that or I forgot my basic physics and chemistry]. 5/600 pounds == ...~250 kgs given the conversion ratio of 2.2 = 1 [and I dislike counting in pounds
]
piecewise: What's the comparable limit of...weight(?) that I can handle given my get-up of an exoskeleton, MKIII, adding in bodily composition of synthflesh, and other attachments [ie thrust from rockets]? Is it possible to make a projectile out of the sarcophagus and use...me, as a guide towards the location?Hapah, what do we know of our current armaments? What is 'enough' to kill the Eater and/or its Sarcophagus?
((Sorry for all this. Exams. And me missing out on part of the mission
I just sincerely believe that 'doing this halfway' won't cut it.
...Why is the Sun related? Did I miss any bit of lore here? It seems very related to the Eater...))
