TWO TURNS HAVE PASSED
Make sure Spungktr Sputnik* is in UV.
*Spektr-Gungnir.
Sure sure sure
- Vetrov here, Ulrich, hang in there, I'm coming to you.
Get out of drop pod, go help Ulrich out. Try to avoid things protruding towards me on my way to him.
[2]
You try to dig your fingers into the ablative armor and tear open the drop pod but despite poking tons of dents into the metal, you can't manage to get your fingers under the plate and pull it up.
Ulrich Leland. Location: Locked in pod
"My pod doesn't open! Someone get this thing open before I break it by myself!"
Don't panic! Calm down! I'll be out soon!
Don't panic! If I didn't panic, then transform Pimp Cane into bracelet on my left arm, combined with a handlebar conviently below my palm so I can grab it.
If I do panic, then jump out of pod the very moment it opens and try to calm down.
- Sharksuit
- 1 token
- Mass Manipulation Psychokinetic Amplifier
- SS Testament LSW (180/180)
- Pimp Cane
- 6 Painkillers
- 6 Coagulant Boosters
- Exo Battle stim
Well, no one gets you out but the good news is your pimp cane transformation goes off without a hitch.
claws retracted (and carefully kept that way so they won't cut anything), I step out of my pod and see if the world reacts to my miniscule weight. ((meaning: do I crush ground / make the red syrup show up / make the white antenna show up?))
if so:
I then hop up on top of my pod and watch for movement, wildlife, or anything at all that distinguishes one section of land from another other than elevation and our pods.
if the world does not react to me, due to my super-light weight:
I move a short distance west from the group, staying in their line of sight but spreading out from them and watch for the world's reaction to them, as well as monitoring if the world begins to notice me.
Yes, you do. You're not legolas here, you're light but not a balloon.
Your pod is shaped like a bit tapered spike with a fat center. It's hard to hop on to.
help me fix the magnetron to the front of he keep, I want to hook it up so that when you turn on the windshield wipers it turns on.
go out side after the tougher looking guys and find the jeep. Have laser rifle ready in case any baddies happen and go to affix the magnetron to the jeep.
Just duct taping microwave parts to vehicles.
You get in a jeep and wait.
"Please try not to touch the things coming out of the ground. They could be alien death penises for all we know."
"I'm betting on sensors at the very least, like someone bringing out a magnifying glass.
Ughh, anyway, I'm making a cut into the ground, see if any nerve bunches are around here."
Make a cut into the ground and make sure that I don't touch the white feathers that will sprout around there, then check if any nerves are present.
You cut into the ground and peel the cut open. There are what look like thin white threads running through the flesh, sort of like fragile plant roots. It's hard to tell their precise direction, but you think they're heading South East. The edges of the cut are starting to change as you look into the hole; they're gathering into nubs that appear to be sharpening into something like large thorns.

Watch cat girl walk off if she suddenly disappears tell the group if not and she returns safely ask her if she's cool being in the buddy system with me.(TOTALLY NOT CREEPY)
Really all you get to watch her do is try to climb up a slippery metal spike and then fall down.
hey i like roasted mushrooms, though this might dry them out and boil them alive from the inside so think burnt boiled mushrooms
"Sure. I just don't expect a microwave oven connected to a lightbulb socket to do anything more than mildly inconvenience them, anger them and perhaps blow a fuse. Then again, it's very possible the rec room microwave oven or those jeeps run on space magic or that the light sockets were originally designed to power lasers or something. I wouldn't put it past them."
Don't move the battlesuit. Just stand still and have a look around with the battlesuit's CamEyes for anything important looking. Can I see any spots where there is more heat? Anything that would hint at what the right direction is? Can I see anything forming further away with zoom mode?
If nobody frees Lars(Toaster): Tell people to stand clear. If they do, slowly and carefully use my Mining Laser with CamEye zoom enabled to cut his battlesuit's cage and free him. (+4 Master Conventional)
Else, if nobody frees Ulrich(Aoshima): Look at what the problem is. Could I solve it by simply positioning the pod upright? If yes, then walk there and do so.
Else, if nobody needs freeing or I can't free anybody: How are the 3 gunnerbots we have operated? Voice or programming? Are they remote controlled or do I need to go to them?
If they are remote controlled, then try to program them to regard me, teammates and other bots and equipment as friendly (if they don't do so already) and have them follow the team. If it looks like I've programmed them correctly, then activate them (+2 Professional Aux).
Nope, Nope, and nope, at least so far. Cam eyes aren't very useful.
You cut toaster free from his cage.
Irling leans out the pod door, prodding the ground with his combat knife. If the fungus reacts, continue to cower in the safe confines of the landing pod. Otherwise, cautiously venture outside, taking care to tread lightly on the fungal surface.
You jab the ground a few times. The fungus reacts by starting to grow short but thick tendrils.
Take my gear. Unload the Goop canister from the chemthrower, load one of my namite canisters. Safety on. Weapon of choice for the moment is the laser rifle.
Let the people with Aux and better Con work on freeing Ulrich and Lars; fill an artifact container with some of the syrup-like liquid. Stand away from any of the currently-growing white tendrils.
"Those tendrils are probably the first Haebi soldiers growing. Let's finish up here quickly and move out."
You gear up and grab a specimen.
"O Gods, may you guide us on our path!"
Look around, then pray to Cog-azaon for knowledge of the Haebi.
You feel a sharp pain in your head, that radiates out and fades away.
You have the distinct, nigh undeniable feeling that the team should hurry the fuck up. The Mushroom men might not be coming, but this place is already not happy with you being there.
"We need to spread out and look for nerves"
look for raised ridges in the flesh that would indicate bundles of parallel nerve fibres, if I cannot find them instead make a small incision and identify the direction any nerves run in.
You do the same as the other guy, and the same things happen to you. Although you seem to think that the tendrils are running more south then south East.
Tendrils, only a few inches long but thick as your thumb, are starting to sprout from the areas of damaged skin.
