Doug wandered back over to Engi and picked up the armor. "Looks good. Thanks buddy! Let me know if you need anything, cool?"
Suit up. See how it fits. Maybe whack self with a wrench to test it out?
Also help Engi
You whack the breastplate with a wrench. You can feel the impact, but only dully. Good enough.
You set yourself up with Engi and help him with whatever he needs. Not sure what that is. We'll see as these posts continue.
Try to very calmly slip myself out of the grips of the worms.

Description
wearing a nice suit and glasses, and keeping well groomed gives Jakie a rather slick appearance. She has a very no-nonsense personality, and speaks with a slight tunnel accent. She comes of as very cold, with calculating and emotionless eyes that remind one of a reptile.
Backstory
Jakie Rede was born in a little tunnel town right outside the city. Jakie didn't like the lack of opportunity, so she made her own, in the booze business. Being as how these "operations" weren't entirely legal, Jakie learned how to protect her interests when the need arose, and the need arose often. But, getting too greedy, Jakie lost control of her turf, was muscled out and forced to skip town. Now, down on her luck, she wants to explore, see the world, and maybe find a nice place to set up a new "operation"

You stop yanking and instead slither and slide, wiggling yourself out of the wormy embrace. This combined with the other guy pulling you completely frees you from the worms.
Load the three unopened chests into the bell and ride it upwards.

Pistol, paint, diesel gauntlets, chunk of 'furniture', black goo. 3 unopened crates.
Winter Octopus Strike, 20/250, normal damage may be dealt instead as non-lethal.
You load the chests and then ride the bell up to the hanger. Once up there you carefully unload the chests and make sure they're well secured. Don't want these fucking things bouncing around.
It rolls against a 90.
Leaving this level when it hasn't noticed you will be the same as escaping it, but if you just go back down right after, it will still be there.
You lower the diving bell down for the people below.
Huh, the previous lvl.3 monster rolled against 80. This one's much more powerful. Good to know there's quite a range.
Go put those things I collected (that're now in a corner of the hangar) in a box in my room. Can't leave this place untidy, after all.
Then either help with people trying to ferry things up by working the bell or unloading things from it, or if not applicable go check out how our bore's engineheart brain is doing in the control room. Inspect the damage done when the moleman-spawned monster crashed through.
You know what? Suit up into a diving suit and go down (by bell, or by rope if it still doesn't require a roll) and go help Rede not become wormchow. Pull him out!

Lvl. 3 deep sea balls (1 in deep sea, 4 in real world) (deep 2/smooth 4/Organic 4)
This thing is technically from level 4. The combination of that bell rod and all the goings on with the other monster and such have started attracting bigger fish.
Gonna assume you put them in there in still incorporeal form, which means only sort of in the vague area of that box. Because they're not constrained by physical limitations.
You get out of the sea and suit up before riding the bell back down, once those pesky chests have been unloaded. Rede is free by the time you reach the wormmass, however.
Verne shouts down from the Bore to the bell.
"If that's the last we see of the civilised structures, are we done here? Or does someone want to try crawling from one end of a worm to the other?"
If possible, Verne then goes down to the worm-mass, collects several Fragments of a Deep-Sea Creature, then goes back up to the Bore.
He wonders whether or not the fragments could be safely ground into powder.

You go down and gather a few of the remaining balls from around the worm mass and then ride back up before returning the bell to the lowered position. You take a look at the balls. Hmm...They're very smooth. Hard to hold, even, like ice spheres. But if you crush or break them, grinding them into powder should be a safe thing. Assuming you don't inhale it. Probably not good to get lots of tiny shards of hard material in your lungs.
"Yes. Bring me materials. Anything you find. I can figure good uses for them. In fact, let me find them. Keep me safe, I make you things, huh?" Engi says, in a sort of disjointed fashion.

Is the bell up? Send it down. Is it down? Leave it be. Catalogue the ship's wealth (or dearth) of materials.
ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO OBSERVE THE QUANTUM STOCKPILE?
[YES] [NO]
Inspect the door for traps and dangers. If nothing found, inspect it again, because I just know this bastard wants to blow up in my goddamn face.
If after two thorough searches nothing bad is found, attempt to open the door somehow.

You look it over. Hmm...
You look it over AGAIN. HMMM....
The door is quite big and heavy duty, as you'd expect for being made out of solid stone, but you don't see anything about it that screams "HELLO I AM A TRAP". It seems to simply be a very large and very sturdy door. Hmm. You give it a shove and it opens a bit before you run into resistance. You put all your weight and strength into it and can see just a sliver through the door. Its enough to see that there's debris behind the door holding it shut. Hmm. If you had a few more people pushing, you could probably get this open. Or maybe a machine?
Well, you're a machine, but a machine made for this.
"We might need some help over here!"
