"Well, this sucks. Anyone want some booze?"
Offer flask of XXX to anyone in need of booze. If able, booze myself as well.
Flask of porn? Anyone want a flask of porn? No? Well more for you.
"Iveso, try to latch onto the shuttle and use your rockets to keep the shuttle going. I'll see if I can help out as well with my manip. We just need to get into a stable orbit, then another shuttle can come pick us up."
Could I use the manip to help get us into a stable orbit? Maybe by pushing the shuttle/increasing its speed with vector part, or using the manip to make it lighter or something? If yes, do it! Also, ask Steve if there is anything he could do to help us. Would it help if we dump the assaultsuit after it has used up its fuel, to shed weight?
...Oh, and ask him if this is even salvageable at this point, or if we'll have to land and take a new shuttle.
Iveso action, in case he doesn't show up: fly up to the shuttle's left side, grab hold of it and use the rocket boosters to keep her going up. Work together with the pilot to keep the flight steady.
Iveso activates his rockets and you give the ship repeated shoves with your manip. It gets the ship moving upward again, past where it was originally and back out toward space. Iveso's rockets have a bit more staying power then our repeated shoves though, as your brain is already reading near the red.
>Dropping any amount of weight would probably help. Judging from what I know, it's salvageable, though it won't be easy for you. If the damaged engines are somehow visible from the passenger compartment, or if the engines' statuses are available on a terminal or port somewhere, take a look at them and determine if it would be possible to jury-rig a fix.
If reasonably confident that it can be done, do it. Edit: if absolutely needed, use the hunk of metal to create any necessary replacement parts.
Assuming of course that someone sends you the info you need here, it might be possible to partially repair some of the engines and regain some functionality. But that would require climbing outside to work on said engines while the ship is trying to exit the atmosphere. Which would be fun.
Help Nunzillor if possible.
You wanna take his last will and testament? Hold his stuff? Maybe find a rope to tie around him?
((Morul is outside the ship right, or is that just praefectus and radiocontrolled who are outside?))
"I think I have a canteen of booze somewhere if you need some Morul."
Give Morul some booze if he wants it, afterwards take a chug myself.
You offer booze to Morul. He politely declines and starts rambling off old war stories while holding his head.
As the shuttle is performing it's mating dance with the ground, Xael is calmly looking at Eddie's now shocked body, confident that the situation is out of her control.
"So we have shock implants, huh. good to know."
Meditate on how the spinning shuttle can be interpreted as a metaphor for life.
You meditate.
Your mind is filled with images of dickbutt.
You are bad at meditating.
"I haven't been able to drink booze since SOMEONE called in an artillery strike on our own damn bunker. Thanks, fer that, by the way."
Rest my mind. Don't want to explode it yet."
You close your eyes and go lay down in the corner, waiting for the ship to stop spinning and your nervous system to stop trying to crawl out of your ear.
After a long period of silence, not really reacting as the shuttle gets pelted by enemy fire, Jobasio speaks up again.
"Oh yes, and pizza!" He seems quite pleased with himself. "You can't forget pizza. Such a versatile meal, so filling and delicious!"
He then looks around, taking in the situation whilst blinking as though he'd just awakened from a nap.
Through the comms he says: "Miyamoto, it's Jobasio here. It seems we are losing power. Whilst I am loath to suggest such a reckless course of action, if necessary I could take over from the shuttle's autopilot and attempt to get us out of here whilst avoiding further damage. Of course, despite my skill it would be somewhat risky. I shall await your decision before attempting any such action."
Talk about food. Talk about shuttle. See how the others are faring
>Use my aux skill to assist with flying the shuttle out of danger, as well as keeping it in the air despite the damage it's sustained.
Be sure to belittle the current pilot for any of their mistakes, it's the only way they'll improve, after all!
>If I can't reach the pilot to assist, just go back to keeping morale up by talking about pizza. Swig any liquor I am offered.
Also make peace with whatever gods may be listening, but do so silently.
You grab both the offered bottles of booze and chug a fair amount from them both.
You then proceed to ramble about pizza for a good 45 seconds before slurring your words and stumbling back to your chair.
"Well goddamnit... Brace for impact, everyone, we might be going down."
Ryan, as he has quickly learned, is prepared for the worst.
Strap in and get ready for a high-speed impact with a sentient planet that has a murder-boner for us. Someone has to fix the poor fools who get injured.
You strap in and do your best to remain both positive and sane. I mean, there's a guy screaming about pizza and drinking while the ship struggles to stay in the air. Clearly someone needs to keep a level head around here, because no one else is.
To Steve and the Sword:
"Mayday! Mayday! Gyromitra shuttle has taken damage to the port side engines and is loosing altitude!"
Attempt to keep the shuttle under control.
You manage to keep the shuttle from spiraling down onto the planet and even manage to make it ascend with the help of the others. You're reaching the heights at which the already thin atmosphere is starting to thin even more; the barrier between the planet and space. Not much farther now.
