Run away!
We could fly up, so they can’t reach us
You fly up and over the ant army. They are still in between yo uand the wooden door you were trying to get through, but they can't reach you until you land.
Ambient exterior temperature at 4000k
4000K = 3726.85 C
The melting point of stainless steel is 1510 C
Of all metals in pure form, tungsten has the highest melting point 3,422 °C
The surface temperature of Betelgeuse the red giant star is 3500 K
The temperature is what? Excuse me?
Um, I just got meta-informed about an Ant army? Do I see anything about this on the displays before me?
You pull up a temperature schematic. The hell is "Star Steel?" (1) you touch an icon to learn more, and the schematic disappears. Where ... how ... what?
Yes. the displays show a small tactical map with a series of dots indicating individual ants. a schematic off to the side shows a 3d model of one of the ants, in low detail, along with some guesses as to the enemy's resistance to various types of damage, like heat (probably immune) explosive (probably resistant), impact (probably relatively weak), cutting (probably resistant in general, weak at the joints.
Great. Another horde attack.
Look for a way to eliminate the oncoming threat if it becomes necessary
(2) you can't think of anything off the top of your head. Maybe make friends with them?
Get up, take a deep breath, and come out of the closet.
...What? The janitorial closet I'm literally hiding in. Ugh.
Anyway, have a look around, see where I am and if anything's going on. Actually, maybe grab some cleaning supplies or w/e on my way out, so if anyone asks I can pretend I was doing something useful in there as opposed to, you know, hiding.
(4) You wander around the ship for a while, idly mopping and in general trying to look inconspicuous. You end up in a big-ass cargo bay with some kind of giant claw thing i nteh middle. "Gonna need some clean mop water" you mutter, eying the dust in the air suspiciously.
Yaaaay. If they follow me, I can bring back many of them!
Chirp happily at the prospect of fighting. Drop the corpse so it's easier to get aloft.
Puff up some so my scales go pointy-edge out and I float on the liquid rock more easily. Then, try to move quickly and get airborne again. Try to mostly weather attacks for now, as the plasmabreath will probably melt the makeshift ash furnace.
Also..
(Well, that is the plane of stars and radiance.)
(Furthermore, it was stated as being hot enough to overcome Freddy's heat resistance, at least some of the time. His breath weapon is about 3000k, so he could probably take that at least for a time.)
(2) you don't manage to get above the flock this turn. The corpse drops with a floop into the lava, sitting on top for a bit before the motion of the lava buries it. (2) a series of sudden dive attacks knocks you falling. you skid across the lava , spraying droplets in an arc before you. That ... that kind a hurt a little.
