"GAAAHHH... FUUUCK that hurt... Shit shit shit shit!, I'll actually take arm Stan over this shit!"Pop (consume) permanent painkiller and attempt to get back to and in the nearest Jeep as soon as possible
((Thanks Radio =D))
You take the pill, permanently removing pain from your perception. You then attempt to hop back to the jeep. You fail these attempts rather spectacularly when the ground opens another mouth under your good leg and swallows it up to the hip. The long coat provides some protection this time, stopping the leg from getting bitten off but not from being broken.
"Help? Need some assistance here?"
Run the other way!
You turn to run the other way, but one of the increasingly large number of fucking mouths around here catches you by the foot and bites it right off. You ignore it and run, awkwardly, back toward the jeeps.
Er, wake up?
You jerk upright, awake.
"AAHHHHHH HELPING! AAHHHHHH...where am I?"
Er, wake up?
(Sorry!)
"Yeah!.. Uh." He looked around, double checking to make sure everything's in order.
Suddenly everything is alright again. Well, alright in that your mind isn't full of horrible delusions anymore. You're still stuck on a planet that hates you and is trying to eat you, which isn't much better.
Snapping into reality, Miya looks around for a second.
'... I really don't like this planet.'
"Ok troopers, let's get cracking!
Iveso, fly over and fetch Kyle, who wandered of for some reason, and bring him to the jeep with the wounded. After that, unlock the gunnerbots, tell them to get on a jeep to prevent being eaten and to scan around with their cameyes, and ty to link their videofeed to the rest of the team. Kyle, I don't know what you think you're doing, but get back here and help these people before all your patients go insane. First help Vincent, then Ryan so he can help you.
Steve, knock Zayne our for a sec. Eddie, take care of him, if he wakes up again and is still mind screwed tell Steve to zap him again.
Ronald, check the gunnerbot cameye vids, keep an eye out.
The rest of you either help restrain those still mindscrewed, or look out at the perimeter for more hostiles. Stay in the jeep for now, or the ground just eats you.
finally, Morul, I might need your help with the digging. Help me think for a sec how we could best go about it."
Primo, tell Steve to knock the ones still mindfucked unconscious. That'd be Zayne (shaporia), and Vincent (kedly) if having his leg snapped off didn't take him out of his hysteria.
Secundo, grab Vincent (kedly) and deposit him in a jeep (the least full one, jeep 1 I think) if he isn't already.
Tertio, think about how we could create a safe zone for our troops to stand on that's not a jeep. Would clearing a bit of ground with namite work? And how angry would this make the planet?
Quarto, think about how we could best dig down to the cluster. Would it go faster/safer (in terms of not damaging the cluster) to use the heavy laser, or the manip?
And finally quinto, search for a good spot in the hex where we could dig down, preferably without damaging too many nerves.
>Should I do that to anyone currently freaking out only, or just whenever someone starts to freak out?
You grab Vincent and yank him out of the ground before hucking him into jeep 1.
Clearing via fire is probably the best and most effective way to do it, but yeah, it's not gonna make the planet any happier with you. You are burning off long portions of it; it's gonna retaliate and try to grow back.
Hmm, laser is probably the best. Unless you want to look for an actual cave entrance on the low ground.
We'll assume you found one.
"Aye aye"
Look out for and warn of any incoming, checking the feeds from the gunnerbots
Well, there are hell of a lot of mouths forming around here, including under the jeep tires. Thats something.
"HEY, THEY'RE TRYING TO EAT THE CAR! MAYDAY!"
Look out for danger and help out anyone who needs it onto the jeep. Don't die.
Danger is roughly everywhere. It's like the floor is lava except it's lava with teeth and it hates you.
"What is that pansy doing over there anyway? Whatever, gonna get him back in a moment."
Pull Kyle away from the onomonom ground and leave him on the jeep. Also unlock the gunnerbots, tell them to get on a jeep and scan around with their cameyes, and try to link their videofeed to the rest of the team.
You pick up kyle and carry him back to jeep 1. You then unlock the gunner bots and make their feeds available to anyone. Thats the good news. The questionably good or bad news is that the gunner bots start firing at the ground rather rapidly.
Concentrate on not losing control.
You seem to be doing alright now...for the moment.
"X-ray mode. The solid, dense ground will be lighter than a sinkhole, or thin layer of skin."
Swap to x-ray, and look for the dark areas that indicate less dense materials, such as just skin covering a sinkhole.
Nothing.
Help anyone who is trying to get back on the jeep get on the jeep.
"Everyone okay here. Anyone need help?"
You catch Kyle as Iveso hucks him into the jeep.
The rapidly growing number of mouths start chewing on the both jeep's tires and trying to tear them apart and flip the vehicle.
