Alexandreus (Yourmaster)"Sorry, I thought you were asking a philosophical question." with a raise of his hand he would focus yellow flame and Attempt to throw the woman around by manipulating the wind.
[1][1] ((Ouch.))
A burst of jagged yellow flame erupts from your hand, taking on formations much like arrows and jets, representing kinetic energy.
And yet, the flames dissipate as soon as they appear. The woman appears not in the least surprised, albeit she does not appear too upset either. Her tone is as if nothing just happened.
"Your ichor will not work, for it belongs to me. That said, you would be well-advised not to damage one of my bodies, for they are real living beings much like yourself. I am not convinced that just punishment would be appropriate here given the lack of a lawful society, but your conscience will not align with attempted murder of an intelligent being. Now then..."She approaches the platform where you are. Reaching out her arm, (3) she makes the computer screens go to static.
"What are you getting us into!?" exclaims the old man.

Michel (Pancaek)"Ah-a. Mon ami, where we are going, we won't need authentication!"
"I mean, we will, but que sera sera, non?"
Enter through the gaps in the launchtree bark
"I'm no frenchie, so I'll just say I agree with you. Well, let's go."You carry Perry's pod along the Cerean crater basin, attracting no immediate signs of attention. When you reach the launchtree, the gaps in the bark dilate as to allow passage. Stepping inside, the outer bark seals itself while air hisses inside through unseen ports. Then the inner wall opens to reveal a tunnel, organically hewn from the tree structure, with a metal staircase built into the bottom. Handrails allow you to force yourself down into a walking motion, although you don't really need a staircase; there is plenty of air in the shaft to force yourself off of, although it does create a noticeable current.
The bottom of the shaft eventually splits into a giant root that slowly separates from the rest of the tunnel. The handrails become guard rails as the lone root emerges from the ceiling of a tremendous cavern, easily hundreds of meters wide and innumerable kilometers in depth. The taproot of the launchtree forms the centerpiece of the cavern, and the secondary roots merely spiral down to the first level with signs of habitation: a knot in the root, flattened on top, which branches out into about a dozen sets of roots all spiralling down.
About one hundred steps down begins a vast series of layers cut out of the walls. The stairwell roots pause at intermediate levels on each "floor". You look inside and see a vast library, with bookcases aligned in rays jutting out from the center. How deep the layers go into the surrounding rock is unknown, for you are at too high an angle. Small flying things hover to and from the layers, weaving between the bookcases and occasionally flying out into the main taproot shaft, appearing as small lights buzzing about.
One of the flying objects approaches, allowing you to get a better look. It seems to be a cat-sized ornithopter with cameras on the 'head' and a single, long foot with talons like tendrils, covered in magnets. It perches on the guardrail and starts scanning you with a red beam.

"How is it? Anyway through, let me work on something..."
Create a sword from the buckminstershot.
[2] Buckminsterfullerene isn't very good for large-scale constructions. [6] You decide to embed it within a crystalline structure, requiring that you heat the material to very high temperatures momentarily. You create a long, sleek blade, glowing cherry red with heat.
The stranger bides you time, then continues.
"Tafaw here has said she is willing to oversee my experiments for me, which grants me time to search. There are many races in this galaxy. Surely one of them has managed to construct a machine intelligence by now. With such computing potential, we shall be able to predict accelerated evolution up to a thousand years into the future!"Your Inventory:Jet FogLesser Mana Potion (x20) (Consume to negate 1 point of negative affinity in a stat for one turn)
