(Was thinking of pushing crates back through the portal so they can be emptied and sent back, while I go get more with the bags.)
Close my normal eye. The cybereye should be pretty safe from ash buildup, but keep one wing over my head for a moment to keep some of the ash out.
Breathing.. well, try breathing slowly and carefully to see if I can handle the ash. My plasmabreath should be able to melt it, maybe even boil it, so maybe do some of that and try to spit out the molten glass like water. If it's really bad, I might have to spend some time under a makeshift tent using a couple of crates and bags to cover my head.
If I can get a handle on it, try to move to a more stable location and get a look around.
(4) You are able to, with some care, filter the ash before it reaches your lungs. You try covering your nose with some bags, but find that the ash is too fine and slips through the weave. Burning the ash is a very temporary solution, as the air is quite thick with the stuff. Maybe getting above it would work, if you can get that high. Otherwise, gotta devise a better filtration plan than covering your nose.
Let’s go through the portal If the ship is having trouble finding the portal guide her to it
You don't really have a clue where the portal is, though. But the beetle seems to know where it is going. See the bottom of the post for what happens.
be sure that I’m securely strapped in so I don’t bounce around. Maybe the beetles can help with that.
You are securely webbed into place by the beetles, who spin some kind of coccoon around you like a spider or a caterpillar might do. Maybe you are going to turn into a beautiful butterfly ... or maybe something's lunch?
Wander into the ship and see where the weapon station is.
The weapon station is on the command deck - well, there are individual weapon stations where the weapons are mounted too.
Work to guide the ship through the portal, once there start to send out probes to get an idea of the surrounding area
See the bottom of the post for your probes.
Continue to sit in whatever nook, cranny and/or cupboard I'm hiding in.
Hug my knees to my chest and try not to whimper as I wait for my imminent demise the ship to launch.
(4) your crying is oddly comforting, if a bit gooey.
BLIPThe ship makes that sound, and suddenly the light from outside changes from the normal desert brightness to a kaleidoscope of brilliance, which is quickly dimmed by the command deck's shell. After a few moments, your eyes adjust to the new lighting. It seems as if the sky before yu is filled with light, each reaching out from a point, a sphere, or some object of another shape. the boundaries between the light sources seem stark: hard lines where the light seems to push against the opposing light of another sphere, forming strange geometric bubbles. Through this matrix, streams of light also flow, generally ignoring the boundaries or flowing alongside them. in the streams, smaller, darker shapes can be seen, some moving with the current, some moving against it, some seemingly in place within. The light in the sphere in which you have arrived is deep purple (not violet or indigo or ultraviolet, but actually purple), and seems to be coming from somewhere behind the ship.
Vladen launches four probes in a pyramid pattern and they extend out form the ship, giving a clearer view of everything nearby. It seems the closest other sphere is an algae green. The light source of the sphere you are in seems to be some kind of castle, complete with crenelations on top and a large, wide drawbridge with barred arched gateway. There is a stream running through the light blue sphere off to your left and below.
