"Ready to surrender?"
Give him a chance to yield.
He completely ignores your placating gesture for some reason. It might have something to do with how you treated his broken arm.
[Dex: 6]
He also ignores his broken arm, and instead twists himself in your grip to punch you with his other fist. A pitiful swing you nonchalantly avoid by kick jumping away. He's rather lively considering the additional breathing hole in his lungs. Better put him down before he hurts himself or others more.
[Uncon: 2]
He dodges your backhand slap with kin amp hand easily. Very lively indeed.
"Yeah, sure, go for it. That sounds like an amazing idea." Grits says, backing up "I'm just going to make some distance between me an it, ya know, bad memories of the thing and such."
All's well ends well, but quickly get some distance between myself and the book to be sure
Then go to the room I passed with the computer stations, and check out said stations for relevant data. Do double check that the defences in that room are off before I enter, though. Can't be too sure.
Yeah, better retreat before they do something stupid. You take few steps back and run towards the stairs down, ignoring sound of gauss rifle firing and flash of cold light that follows immediately afterwards. Whatever they did, they can deal with it by themselves.
You run down the stairs quickly and make your way to the target room with less haste. Now, you do not have a direct connection to the system anymore so you can't be absolutely sure, but you're fairly certain there wasn't any automated weapons in that room. And you have already walkes past it twice, so it should be safe. But it doesn't hurt to be careful.
You stop in front of the open doorframe and peer inside carefully Only suspicious piece of potentially dangerous machinery are those two large half spheres in ceiling.
[Int: 6] Ah, right. Those are mechanical boobs, you nod sagely. Just don't stand directly below them and they won't be a problem.
Now, these computers. First two refuses to work, but third starts up. It asks for a password.
[Aux: 5] Your first attempt, name of the planet repeated thrice, seems to be correct one. Lucky guess!
Now that you are safely logged in you take a look what programs and data there's available. Aside of the standard set of office programs there's a bunch of more interesting ones; one to control holoprojectors somewhere, a bunch that seem to be related to communications which all throw you "404 server not found" errors. From logs you find out these programs have been giving same error for over a year when they were last time used few centuries ago. Oldest sign of activity before 404 errors is a launch command somewhere.
Sebastien shrugs.
Throw book at grits feet fire gun at book.
[Will: 6]
Just as you begin throwing the book Grits hightails it out of the armory and away. Hmph. "Coward" you shout after him. You throw the book anyway. There's no reason to shoot target in your own hands.
[Con: 5]
You casually raise the gun on your shoulder and fire before the book even hits the ground. There's a blinding flash of cold blue light when the bullet hits the book. Book shatters into millions golden embers that disappear into ceiling. What remains behind is only the bullet you fired, now lost of it's metallic shine. It also now bears same dull color as the book did and makes a sound very unlike metal when it gently rolls on the floor.
>I Q1LL reduce IIIIZRat##roM your pMOOVLA.Shoot the book too.
Stay away from the book.
kill the book with a kinamp punch
There's no book anymore, only a gauss slug on its place that doesn't look metallic anymore. If anything, it looks like a cylinder carved out of concrete. It even sounds like one.
((Also that thing would very likely be valuable to bring back home.))
A pity, isn't it?
