No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Spread out from the group and search the area for anything unusual/useful/bodies. Tag the bodies for later retrieval if need be.

Check the Spektr, see if it looks like it would still function in this cold. DO NOT TEST FIRE IT. Use light amps, not lamps in here, don't want to give it another source of potential energy. Unless everyone else uses lamps. Then go with those instead.


@Auron : Hey, you mind if I grab the grenade launcher and a couple of the grenades? I have some skill with using the launcher and setting the grenades as traps. :


The above. And try to not die/get fucked over by alien fuckery.

Eddie would try not to fear death.  Perhaps, as Ramses had said, death was the natural state of things, and life was a fleeting aberration.  The idea still seemed alien, though, and he couldn't properly believe it.

Being as pessimistic and paranoid as always, put a little aster-ex at the exits to the room other than the way we came, hooked up to one of the detonators. 

Do it fast.

I don't really know how much I know and what is going to happen. Do I know there are going to be explosions? Do I know that we are going to die? Depending on what I know, then try to help the team as best as I can. I don't know what would be best. Flying them out of there? Blocking the doorways leading further down with goop? Blocking said doorways with my giant robot or debris?

Otherwise, if not much changes on our level and there's no impending doom, do the same thing I was going to do last turn:

: You know the drill, people. Stay frosty and keep your eyes open. I'll do a scan, see if there's anything interesting nearby. :

Do the battlesuit's lights emit a lot of heat? If there's no danger of them causing the air to explode or something, open them up to help with the illumination. Otherwise, I'll make due with Aresteve's LEDs, light amps and whatever light the Rainbow Cannon provides.

That done, scan the area for anything interesting or useful. What were they building here anyway? Just components and parts?

Talk to Aresteve:
: Sure, thanks. Have you identified any areas that are anomalous in any way? Any of them near us? :

 : And how cold are we talking about, exactly? Are we going to have trouble moving down there? Is there any danger we'll boil the gas away and cause an explosion or something? Or is that danger present only if we use energy weapons? :


Accompany the vanguard, walking in brazenly once they get the door open without expecting any alien monstrosities to snatch me away or anything.

Idly wiggle one piece of the sullen moon nyartifact near another, picking two that look like they might fit together, and holding them several millimetres apart.

You missed this action.
If I notice this guy trying to mess with unknown alien shit unrelated to the mission, grab him, put him in the elevator and tell him to test his shit away from the team. And that next time he tries that close to me, he gets thrown up the elevator shaft.

Await delivery from Aresteve and lug it back to the group ASAP.

Give everyone access to my passive echolocation mapping data, scan everything with thermal cameras pating close attention to whats coldest.

Edit:
Throw chem thrower with tank at Ramses head.
Split the aster-ex with eddie, 1 kilo each and he gets two short range detonators.


If Steve or Aresteve mention the space magic getting fucked over, or when I witness space magic going out of control in the distance, disconnect my manipulator from its brain and leave them both in the shuttle, also disable all the shuttles automanipulator systems.

then do the quoted actions if it is safe to do so.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Wow it has been 5 days since I posted here. More probably.

Hmm. I'll tell you guys whats going on. I'm frankly considering just giving you a new mission since this one is basically fucking done thanks to those amps going off. And I'd hate mission 24 to be three turns long.

Hmm.
