"I guess stopping is something we ought to try first. Though I could definitely see it going horribly wrong, of course. And it's not gravity that it seems to be using. It might just be pulling us toward it, or warping spacetime in a less specific manner."

STOP! The ship, of course.

Observe results.

If nothing at all good happens, try the previously described juke to put some distance between the current orbit and the ship.

Lars nodded.  "Do what you must, brother.  I will pray for us."

Keep running!  Pray to Algis for protection, Ingram to guide Jason's shot, and Cog-azaon to understand this anomaly.
Who is flying the ship right now, by the way? In case we need to roll for evasive maneuvers.

Lars.

Shoot harder. Because I really can't do much else. Fire both weapons at the anomaly. Cross the beams! Do something that hopefully helps.

"Why is it just one thing after the other in here? This is space! It should be empty!"

Drop another buoy in this grid, then either keep going ahead in a wide berth around the cosmic diatoms, or alter course to keep in comms range of Capgras (but still avoid the diatoms).

Viewing the video, Miyamoto is starting to realise how bad the situation is for Capgras.

"Capgras, have you decided yet what you're gonna try to loose it?"

Keeping a wide berth would involve leaving this square and literally circling around it,  losing coms with the others for a while.

Now add the rebreathers and spark gap to the laser. So it shoots lightning and works better in space.

attempt to fashion together a make shift barrel and some electronics out of the scrap and wires I have
Doesn't work like that, mcguyver.
((Sure it does! What is a coilgun other than a metal barrel, copper coils, and some electricity?))
Timing circuits, capacitors, triggering circuits, etc.

"I guess stopping is something we ought to try first. Though I could definitely see it going horribly wrong, of course. And it's not gravity that it seems to be using. It might just be pulling us toward it, or warping spacetime in a less specific manner."

STOP! The ship, of course.

Observe results.

If nothing at all good happens, try the previously described juke to put some distance between the current orbit and the ship.

You slam the ship to a stop via your magic newton enraging devices.  The kidney bean barrels past you and wiggles off into the distance, but not before the close encounter with it's gravity well hucks you violently off course and a full squares to the south east.

We don't have windows.

Your philosophy in relation to a blank steel wall is rather depressing.
Lars nodded.  "Do what you must, brother.  I will pray for us."

Got it.

Shoot harder. Because I really can't do much else. Fire both weapons at the anomaly. Cross the beams! Do something that hopefully helps.
You continue to shoot. The space honey badger continues to not give a fuck


LARS PILOTING ROLL [4]

Lars jerks the shuttle hard and the glowing...invisible...spaghetti thing rockets past. It starts to turn almost immediately,  making a wide sweep back toward the ship.

"Ok team, we've lost comms with Capgras now that they tried their maneuver to shake the planetoid anomaly. Let's hope that works out for them. What do we do now? I'd say we move around these things in front of us, then wait for a while on the other side to see if they can catch up again. Might also give team Scrupulosity the time they need to catch up. All this ok for you guys?"

Right! That seems to have gone all right.

Next thing - can we get back on the previously plotted course? That'd be... er... north-northeast until we rejoin the formation? Is the kidney bean around those parts?

If yes, wait in paradoxical motionlessness some more for it to find someone more interesting to bother, like our wonderful commander or something.

If not, get back on track. Pilot the talking synthflesh coatrack that pilots our ship like a true space cowboy.

Turn in toward its turn to attempt to shoot past it before it can correct!  Evade evade!  Pray to Hal-mon for his assistance with piloting!

"Brothers, hang on tight!"

I suppose now is as good a time as any to pray. And to keep shooting.

"Oh great more waiting. I suppose its the best we can do."

Dubley sets up a makeshift sparring ring in the rec room then finds Sir Jackson.
"Yo Sir J, you wanna spar? I gotta practice with these new arms and you gotta get used to your armour."
If he agrees then we spar.

"Don't ask me why Steve, in his infinite wisdom, decided we needed three people for a one pilot ship. Either way, I'm plotting the course."


yes, circle around it. We will move around and then get back on our line. Then we will lower speed a bit and wait for others to catch up.
