((There's a plot!? 
))
Technique: Leave it to chance.
Flip a coin. If heads, you lose 10 body and your next roll will act as if you had 50 skill. If tails, you lose 10 mind and your next roll will automatically fail, but have some beneficial effect.
Description: You win some, you lose some. Such is life.

Examine the water and the try to see the crawler. Try to determine if someone could make Sticky level 3 out of stuff on the bore.
"Oi, I'd like to get a better weapon made before I disembark."
No you cannot see the crawler in the water, because it is on the ceiling.
Someone probably could, yes.
((I was waiting for this "encounter" to finish before getting stuck in, but I totally forgot about techniques.))
Patrol done, time for training.
Technique! "Ambush!" Requires a passed Hide roll. When hiding still in a concealed position, draw a bead on a target to get bonus to the Blast roll.

You don't have to go far at all. Maybe 300-400 feet down the tunnel you come across an enormous...well it looks like a moth. It is massive in size, snow white and quite furry, but is otherwise the spitting image of a normal moth. It reaches out with one long, fuzzy antenae and pats the crawler a few times.
Are we losing the plot here guys? Oz literally jumped ship and Toaster is pacing back and forth.
Sort of? I'm trying to figure out what this black goo mealworm does, but it's taking more actions than I was expecting.
"I need a warm meatbag to wake up this worm. You don't seem to be busy doing anything."
Wake the black goo mealworm up.

We'll assume you find some random meatbag, probably one of our now non-responsive ones, and wrap the worm around them like a boa. When it awakens it starts behaving oddly, almost as though it were drunk or hallucinating. It just staggers around, bumping into things and appearing to side step or crawl around things that aren't there.
Prepare to switch bodies with Tony. We'll worry about the missing bits later provided some of my head and my brain is intact. Due to the nature of the operation, I'm guessing it would be difficult to do this by myself?
Also, FIND anything vital missing from Tony's body.
"Radioactive poison, eh. Dastardly stuff. Never trust seafood, that's my advice."
Verne then runs around the bore screaming and begging for help.
"Please! Somebody! Could someone help me with an operation? A chance to perform science! You won't regret it, you can have the pick of my loot! Any builders? Doctors? Deep ascetics? I'm sorry I said you were mystics! Somebody help me, please!"

Tony is the one that got shot and stabbed repeatedly before being carved up like a turkey, right? Are you attempting brain transplant or spirit transfer? Because the first, into a corpse, would require first repairing the corpse. Oh and also figuring out how to bring it back to life again.

You use your influence to shove the door open and then immediately rise back to your body. As you do so, however, you see the water begin to churn in the area you left.
Try to get away from that churning and return to my physical body undetected. Should this fail and some deep sea specter attack me, then defend myself of course.
If we wanted to resurrect Verne using Tony's body, what repairs would be needed at minimum to Tony's body to make it a usable vessel? Does it need to be biologically functioning, or can we stitch over the holes with sheet metal and stuff the missing parts with sawdust and call it a day? I suspect the latter given that replacement bodies can be made of almost anything, but checking just to be sure.
((NJW, I have build so I could repair the body, but no find so you'd have to supply me with Tony's body and any materials needed for building a usable replacement body.))

bellbetdebt from Bargthor
You got away. But muffin, he might have a hard time in the future...
He just needs to be a mostly intact body so try to frankenstien him back together as best you can. One downside, however, is that his body WILL rot and lose functionality over time unless you preserve it somehow.
Radio: "Do any of you guys up in the bore want corpses? I can load the bell up with a lot of them if you want to."
Go and check out the important tower again. Take a peek inside and examine the corpses present for build properties.

You walk out of the building and head for the important tower again. On your way there the door to that tower opens the rest of the way and a single one of those starfish creatures lurches out. It looks at you for a moment, or you assume it does since it has no eyes, and then starts charging towards you. It has a bladed gauntlet on 3 out of 5 limbs
"So you're getting rid of your body, while at the same time refusing to use it for anything?"
"Well, then, you clearly don't need it."
Go shoot the meatbag with my pistol. If it charges, try to dodge out of the way.

Sifeebt shrugs and clucks three times before speaking. "Find less-sharp meatbag?"
If Bargthor attempts to wake up the mealworm using Sifeebt's body, he'll hack it in two and dodgeroll away before it explodes or something. Otherwise, he'll just continue waiting for the guy with find and build to find materials and build a body.
Edit: Apparently Bargthor is unwisely attempting to murder Sifeebt, so, he'll retaliate.
