Fractalverse ahoy

[piecewise]

Wait for me!

Which ship?

Harry, NJW, Midnight and UP are heading for fractalverse

Corsair, doris and lengon are going to quiet world.

So if you wanted to even it out, you'd go for the quiet world.

[NAV]

Quiet world then!

FRACTAL VERSE

Ok, for those of you not up on your Heph-ery, fractal verse looks like this.

The following info is copy pasted from the wiki
"It's definitely a fractal latice but it's also extremely regular and it appears to be expanding out in all directions. You can see bright lights a within some of the deeper sections nearby. The atmosphere seems to be an extremely thin but ubiquitous nitrogen-argon mix. Humans from phase four return unnaffected.

As a probe gets nearer to the lights, it gets footage what appear to be living things. The look metallic, but amorphous, like globs of mercury the size of a small minivan. Coming out of this amorphous body are what look like solid metal limbs, as though there were a robotic skeleton under that Amoeba-like exterior. The things are crawling about on the surface of the lattice, though to what end you can't tell. The light appears to be coming from large collections of these creatures which are banded together near strange whirling, glowing sections of the lattice. You can't tell what they do, but they appear to be throwing out a heck of a lot of energy. The blobs ignore your probe, or perhaps they can't see it? "

Now, we're putting you at the same spawn point, so from here you can see those glowing lights and you can see those blob friends. The open air around here is effectively like space with microgravity and useless atmosphere.

Ok. Here's the deal. You guys are get ported into this place in your ship and immediately there are problems. For you guys in the ship, what you experience is a moment of free fall and then the ship jerks hard to one side and settles, almost like the floor was just pulled out of under it and it fell into an oddly shaped hole. The emergency light in the crew compartment is going, and there's a klaxon blaring along with the automated warning "STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, PLATFORM INSTABILITY!"

And then there's a screeching metal sound and the ship seems to settle some more, tilting at an even greater angle. It is at this point that some bright spark would probably get the idea to look through the external cams and see that the shuttle seems to be wedged in a large vertical vent of some kind, but that it is slowly slipping down and will soon tumble on down into the darkness below.

First things first, take a sample of the lattice with any tools available. See how hard it is to dislodge. If very difficult, take a small bite out of it with the matter saver. Stand well back and observe how it behaves when damaged.

[Lenglon]

((Verifying because my phone hates the wiki: techiehell (used wrong name on purpose to avoid disturbing pw) has Lyra the cat, two assaultsuits, and a AoW. and all three heavies have conventional weapons, one assaultsuit also has meele, and all three heavies have explosives. nobody has support-type equipment excluding Lyra's biomods and implants, Lyra has the only Id as well.
So were basically three heavies and one support... not a bad forcecomp. only the assaultsuits can fly though.))

[Dorsidwarf]

((Assaultsuits can't fly unless the other guy bought the flight variant, I got jump jets))

TECHNOHELL

Try to see if the ship is actually capable of hovering in place or if it's a "ship" as in a box to teleport with

[NJW2000]

((Techhell))

"Can anyone tell if that stuff all around us is actual metal? Or whether it's some organic shit?"

[NAV]

TECHNOHELL
Open the shuttle door, grab the wall or ground and stop the shuttle from slippling.
"Hey bros. Check out my new giant spider robot. Who's leading this mission?"

[Lenglon]

((NJW, you at techhell or fractal? pw has you at fractal...))

[Corsair]

TECHNOHELL

"Careful everyone we are on unstable ground here"
Assume direct control of the ship if possible via whatever means I can using AUX once done slowly activate thrusters so that we balance out then move to an acceptable landing point. If that doesn't work measure distance to something stable outside and request port to that position. If those don't work then slowly move to the doors and open them get out and use avatar strength to stabilise the shuttle on the ground, don't have one or both legs in the shuttle that would be dumb and lead to praising gravity.

[BRANCHING FUCKERY]

Stab a piece of the lattice with the crystal projector, anything interesting happen?

[Lenglon]

[TECHNOHELL]

If we're on a world with normal or low gravity and a normal or thick atmosphere, then I position myself where I can bail out if need be. I'm low density so I should have a quite low terminal velocity and be less affected by gravity, which will greatly reduce falling risks even before my cat-nature is taken into account.

If falling is dangerous for me then I'll hide near my allies and hope they handle the situation without my interference.

If all efforts fail and we enter an uncontrolled fall, then I'll have no choice but to mass-manip amp us to safety. I will only do this after others actions have failed.

Mission Start Reminder to PW that Lyra has both Haber Implant and Empathic Gland

[NJW2000]

((NJW, you at techhell or fractal? pw has you at fractal...))

((Aaaaah shit. This may happen a lot.))


[BRANCHINGFUCKERY]

"Don't stab the Xeno shit with experimental and weird weapons, soldier! What happened at the island was bad enough! Also, can anyone tell if this stuff is metal? And who here can actually move through space?"

Switch assasultsuit to heat detection mode, check if the clusters of lights give off heat much, if certain ones do, try and remember them. Switch to motion detection mode, check for moving stuff, primarily any heading towards us, then for the nearest movement to us, and where the most movement is... stuff that might be relevant, basically. Try and tell if the lattice is made of metal.

Upon seeing somebody try to stab the lattice with a crystal projector unannounced, Christopher would gently but speedily remove them or the projector from said lattice, though wouldn't throw them into space or anything.

Walk out of the shuttle and set up my portal.
begin matter saving sections of a fractal arm we are not standing on and ejecting them into my pocket dimension.
