"All that I know about the cylinder is that there is some tree standing outside claiming that the cylinder is his and that his head is inside of it....That was the strangest sentence that I think I have ever said."

[Happy Demon]

Hm... such a pity, well, sidetracking time.

Go into the room, poke the crewman, and check is the computer consoles control anything.

"All that I know about the cylinder is that there is some tree standing outside claiming that the cylinder is his and that his head is inside of it....That was the strangest sentence that I think I have ever said."

"I see... well, does this tree know anything about the cylinder? He could be useful to us."

[Gamerlord]

Check the batteries and then we're off to cut down a tree!

"I see... well, does this tree know anything about the cylinder? He could be useful to us."

"Probably, he claims to own it. I`ll go and ask if he wants to come and answer some questions."

Go and find the tree.

Whoops, double post.

Check the batteries and then we're off to cut down a tree!

Unsure of which tool to bring, you take both of them with you, brandishing the buzzsaw menacingly as you storm out the front door.

The tree becomes to sway noticeably when you leave the building. As you approach it, its lower sections unfold and unravel, lifting the tree up from the ground, leaving a small pit where its roots once sank.

The tree utters a low growl along with some barely recognizable words.

"You intend to chop me down? You are a fool! Nature will rise against you!"

Several foot-tall shrubs pop up from the beneath the ground at your feet, accompanied by a golden mist. You smell sawdust and the characteristic scent of burning wood.

...

Go and find the tree.

You leave the hall and approach the door, only to notice through a window (whose blinds have been opened since you entered) that the tree is in motion. Curious, you peek out the door to find a woman with a battery-powered buzzsaw revving it up, surrounded by tiny saplings.

Hm... such a pity, well, sidetracking time.

Go into the room, poke the crewman, and check is the computer consoles control anything.

[2+1] Poking the crewman does nothing, although you use the spear to move the body and position it towards the door-hatch to where the other crewmen fled, just in case you need it as a shield.

[4] The consoles control a targeting computer! Well, one of them, at least. You could destroy it now, or perhaps sabotage it in a way. You'd probably need somebody smarter than you to manipulate it, though. (Will incur a -1 penalty due to the complexity of hacking.)

Through the hatch into the next room, you catch a glimpse of a crewman poking his head out along with a laser rifle. The crewman fires, then retreats, (4-2) vaporizing a thin column of droplets but otherwise harming nothing, not even the body you strategically placed as a shield.

[Gamerlord]

YAAAAAAAAAAAH. ATTACK THE TALKING MONSTER TREE.

"Orion, how about you get imprisoned in a top secret facility, then?"

[_DivideByZero_]

"Orion, how about you get imprisoned in a top secret facility, then?"

"Are you suggesting the KX9? You're going to hand me over to them! Those bastards will tear me limb from limb!"

[Happy Demon]

"F*** off!"

Throw the hammer at the hatch (it's still shown in my inventory).

Well, I'm kinda new with these computers, but it's worth a shot.

Try to commandeer the turrets and fire upon the Space Pirates. Try to contact Steve and see if he can help me with the hacking.

[~Neri]

((To be fair. The KX9 have ways of keeping him alive even if he's missing most of his body. They really only need the brain, however good behavior results in not being torn apart~))

[SaberToothTiger]

"I don't even think that's that bad. I can't tell you where I would like to take you, 'casue if I slipped it wouldn't be top secret, would it?"

[Ama]

"Your there! Stop this chaos!"

Spore attack the crazy women!

((More subtypes.))

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Big, Blackmark, Lovemark, and Flowermark subtypes

The Big subtype is given to any mutant over 2 times their type's average height, it's often fraught with health issues, except for the Dragons, Salamanders and anyone who's being cared for by a Dragon.
The Salamanders train constantly, and as such, by the time their gigantism is in full effect, their bodies have been trained to handle it.
Dragons quickly notice their enhanced growth, so Big Dragons will likely start studying augmentations, to combat the health issues they're likely to get.
Dragon parents are very caring for their young, even if adopted, and will make sure to train their young so that they can handle their bigger bodies.

Blackmark mutants have darkened veins, pale skin, and an echo in their voice.
They're a bit creepy, as their dark veins make the skin around their eyes almost pitch black, while their skin is almost white.
Any mutant found with the Blackmark are more likely to be exiled.

Lovemark is characterized by mutants having a heart shaped birthmark on a random place on their body (often their torso or thigh), males also have larger genitalia, and females have bigger breasts.
The Lovemark is a very desirable subtype, which helps it spread. Lovemark also makes the body of the mutant become curvier, at the cost of combat effectiveness.
Lovemark mutants rarely reach high rank, as while mutants desire these, their respect for them is very low, so most Lovemark mutants become slaves.

The Flowermark subtype is rather common among influential families, it causes a natural floral pattern on the mutant's skin.
In some rare cases it also puts the floral patterned on the eyes, nails, and even skeleton (which is hard to detect while the mutant is alive).
It's also called King's Mark, and anyone who has it are likely to be promoted, as it's considered lucky.
