"Nice to meet you" She looks around "What exactly are these things weak to? By things I mean the Turrets" She asks the rest of the team and the guide
"I assume they are weak to exactly same things as all other laser weapons. Overwhelming kinetic force and EMP."
"Nice to meet you" She shakes his hand, "What exactly are these things weak to?" She asks the rest of the team
((What are you asking? Which things? Also, kin-amp is a glove. Just a warning.))
"We are, yes." Joanna says to the man. "Let's get down to business. Anything we should know about the bunker before we go?" She's speaking quickly - part wanting to get this over with, part concerned that people will start somehow killing themselves or the guide if they don't move soon.
Say above
"It's carved inside this mountain. Its entrance is dark and partially open. The turrets are very aggressive and precise. It's
probably empty of living people. One of the backward tribes around here claims to trace their ancestors to people who left from this bunker, which is the reason why it was found in the first place. That's about all we know so far."
"Hmph. Overwatch."
Squat in the middle of the road and keep an eye out in all directions with my many eyes.
You focus on the various cameras all over your body, one at the time and watch your teammates. Vik's defenseless back in particular.
((What are you asking? Which things? Also, kin-amp is a glove. Just a warning.))
((Actually, unless Ao changed this from original ER, the functional part is just a postage-stamp sized black box positioned over the glove's knuckles. The rest of the glove is completely inert and normal. Yes, the armory entry mentions that you shouldn't scratch your nose--a lot of armory entries contain misleading statements.))
((That's how it goes in this timeline. I put the battery back though I have no idea where a battery could be in such a small thing.))
For now, inspect both of the prototypes I bought.
Biased Red is a bottle containing six so glaringly red pills that it makes you think they actually might glow in dark. Jovial Copper appears to be some type of weapon. It has a traditional handle and a trigger attached to gray cuboid consisting most of the "barrel". At opposite end of the box is recessed, making it resemble a miniature satellite dish.
"Fair comrade. Your deliverance is at hand. Show us the way to the capitalist pigs and tell the workers to rejoice at the dawning of a new world order."
Say the above.
The man stares you few uncomfortable seconds. "Suuure," he says, drawling the word. "Follow me then. I'll mark the path in case you have to return here without me."
He turns around and walks back into the maze of roots he came from. The maze immediately veers off of the road. Sometimes the path takes you over thinner sections where kind of natural stairs has formed, sometimes it goes under arching roots. Every now and then your guide paints arrows pointing the way back to the shuttle with a can of red spray paint. Despite lower gravity, this trekking is quickly tiring people out, and after two hours your guide has to stop and let you rest.
While resting, Stepan, Maya, Vik and Filgres have a definite feeling of someone watching them. Nothing can be seen or heard around, however, even the local wildlife has been quiet and out of sight for the most part (except certain multi-legged tentacle thing resembling a mix of centipede and snail). Grits is absolutely certain that this world's apex ambush predator is getting ready to ambush you.
