Using crocodemon, human or teeth elemental bits (whichever feel most appropriate), try you make myself capable of echolocation either through an extra appendage or by modifying my existing bodyparts.

If the echolocation doesn't work, try to modify myself an extra eye that can see in thermal vision and check if that works.

[6,2][Human down to d8]

There is a rather strange squishing noise which causes everyone to look back at Richter, who had standing around behind the group apparently deep in thought. He looks much the same as normal, although his head is one giant human ear now...which is sort of strange.

"Uh...so whats that..." Yagyu begins to ask. He's cut off when a giant human tongue shoots out of the earhole like a pink fleshy party horn.

"PPPPPFFFTTTT", says Richter, wetly.  He then turns his head and does it again. Then again. After making a full 360, he nods his...ear...and points forward down the hall with clear authority.

Oh god damn it my hacked guardbot is still back there!  See if it can be reached with a text message or voice call or something, so it can be told to come here.  Failing that, see if it's possible to tap into the previous sector's intercom system.  Failing that, beg Pathos to go fetch it for me.

And continue to bitch about Derp, and being horribly nauseated.


"Oh god damn it, this day just keep getting worse!  Just when I thought I'd found a new toy, and bullets, that maybe all this shit had been worth something, no!  No, life just has to sweep that out!  Fucking Derp, this is the worst mission, this is the worst day!  Is it even day still?  Feels like I've been trapped in this hellhole for months!  Ugh!  Hey, Pathos, spiderbuddy, think you could do a favor for me?  I hacked that guardbot from before to follow my commands, but didn't actually go grab it.  I'm gonna try and get it to come here, but if I can't figure out a way, think you could fetch it for me?  I'll let you ride on my shoulders while I ride on it."

Sight: Five-second framerate from isolation suit.  Blindfold readied underneath.
Smell: Nose plugs.  And isolation suit.
Hearing: Pathos' text-to-speech earplugs.  Under an isolation suit.
Taste: Cutting out one's tongue seems like too much.  How are we gonna taste him without touching him, anyway?  Especially when Wil is wearing an isolation suit?
Touch: Riot armor.  And isolation suit.
[9]
Wilfred scrambles back to the previous sector, reaches his hand between the legs of the shover and pusher robots and flails blindingly against the wall until he finds a connection port. He then whips out-

"Wait, I don't have a computing cube." he says, suddenly looking down at his entirely empty hands in confusion.

Larry checks the darkness for any hoodoo voodoo shenanigans. If he does find any he'll attempt to use his human talent springing from natural human training (not forbidden knowledge gained via eating the brains of the Nine Hell Sages) to dispel the darkness.

[4]
Larry licks the wall. He smacks his lips a few times. He then drags his front teeth down the wall with a hideous screeching, grinding noise that makes everyone around him (In particular Richter) cringe back instinctively.  Larry rolls the fine powder of whatever it is on the wall around in his mouth for a moment.

"Floral notes. Nutty. Hint of citrus and industrial bonding agent...carbon nanotube finish. Circa 2087 if I had to guess.  Light absorbent paint of some variety, fellow humans. Feel free to sample it yourself but I'd give it only a 7 of 10. Not bad but uninspired really."


Follow along and shoot things if things need shooting.

Tala is nice. Tala is a continuous source of snacks. Nudge Tala into the darkness, in the direction of prospective snacks.

Use my scanner to look for any hostiles, move forward with the nudging
"All right, so if these walls refuse to reflect light, we can just put stuff on them that does reflect just fine. Luckily, our unfortunate comrade Anya had some glowspray paint with her."

Do all of the rounds have all of the warnings on them? Aka does it seem that whatever they do, they all do the same thing(s)?

Use the environmental scanner, search for a wavelength or vision mode where the walls do reflect, and then have it displayed on the screen to make it easier to walk around. Or perhaps some sort of echolocation could be done using the scanner? If this idea requires some software wizardry to get it going, be sure to ask help from a teammate.

Also, how much paint is left in that glowspray paint canister? If it seems like it's a lot, then while walking spray a line on the floor or wall to make it easy for teammates to navigate (since the spray on the wall should reflect just fine, and glows on its own to boot). If it's just a bit, then just make markings here and there (eg. on corners and junctions) to still help with navigating.

Should this strategy work, carefully start looking for either the control room for this sector or the door to the next sector. Try to draw a simple map while we are looking around to help with navigating (and with finding our way back later on).   



Spoiler: Yagyu d'Aubigny (click to show/hide)
Yagyu checks all the rounds for his experimental prototype gun. They all appear identical.

[6] Yagyu checks several different wavelengths and modes on his scanner and decides, finally, to stick with thermal. The wiring and machines in the walls throw off heat, so he at least has a vague Idea where they all are, within 6 or so inches at least.

He checks the spraypaint  with a shake. Hmmm. He thinks its maybe [use die d6] full.  He sprays some on a wall, just to check it works and indeed, there is now a big whitish green spot hovering in what appears to be open darkness.

[4]
Yagyu continues ahead, spraying a line of paint in front of him in short dashes,  just enough to navigate by without being wasteful. Finding...anything like this isn't exactly easy; he can tell where doorways are, but what those rooms contain and if that door is even open or closed he's not really sure. He's groping for a sign next to one door, hoping to give it a quick spray and be able to read it, when he hears something. He looks around. There's a heat signature down the hall; roughly triangular in shape and about the size of a small child. He switches vision modes and shines a light down at it but sees nothing. He switches back to thermal and there's nothing there now.

Hmm.

Ah, one of those invisible and slightly more handsome variant of humans, like that decapited girl who watches people sleep back in the site. They're called khosts or something? Either way, Larry will do the normal thing and use dark magic to find the kid and make that phost go from that hallway to the shadow realm.

Try flicking through my cyber bodies alternate vision modes to see if there’s one where I could see in here.

If something non-friendly appears, fill it with lead.

Report what I just saw to the rest of the team. Be sure to stick close to Richter, hopefully between his echolocation and my thermal scanning we can get a decent view of our surroundings.

Also, can you confirm if Yagyu is keeping up with that map?

Either way, keep looking for that exit and/or control room, making markings to help the rest navigate.

Oh, and be nowhere near people shooting experimental guns for no reason please. If not possible, give dead fish to prevent the firing because I'd rather not be killed again for the sake of lolrandom, thank you very much.

Redshirt reemerges from somewhere in the depths of hammer space and tumbles out next to the rest of the team. They give him a questioning glace for a moment but all things considered he isn't that weird so they quickly lose interest.

Ji checks for alternative vision modes. Infrared thermal vision works to a degree. Not perfect, but functional. Shows the vague location of the walls at least.

[4][1]

Yagyu scans the area carefully for a few seconds before Richter leaps onto his back and tackles him to the ground.

"ppppfffft!" he says, pointing towards a featureless patch of darkness.  Yagyu scans it but sees and discovers nothing but a wall. He's about to ask Richter what he's talking about when Richter 'shouts' "PFFFFT!" and gestures frantically at another section of darkness. Yagyu checks again and finds only Tara there, poking at a wall.  Richter grabs his head and twists it to look at another place, this time with a shout of "PFFFT PFFFT PFFFFFFFFFFT!"

Yagyu sighs his robo-sigh and focuses the scanner out towards what he fully assumes will again be nothing. But this time there is something there. Its about two feet tall, plump, and shows up beneath normal light. It looks like a human head with an exaggeratedly large nose, massive eyes, and triangular general shape. It has no mouth that can be seen, but two stubby legs and a sort of pelvis-chin. It looks at Yagyu for a moment and then spins around and darts away with surprising speed, vanishing beyond even the sight of the thermal cameras.

As Tara walks forward, she suddenly hears Yagyu make a noise. Something like "Glrk!" and spins around to see what happened. As she does something brushes against her leg and skitters away.

Politely ask the robots preventing entrance to the previous sector if they could carry a message for Wilfred, or perhaps give him access to the intercoms, or something of that nature.  If they refuse, give serious thought to how well armed and armored they are; could he win if he just opened fire on them?

If no, lean against the nearest wall and mope, whining about Derp, and buggy robots, and how shit life is.

Also, shoot any mutated flesh monster things that wander into sight, and aren't teammates.  I doubt any will appear, since Wilfred is still right at the entrance to the previous sector, but still.

2 turns ago I mentioned having Yagyu draw a map to help with not getting lost in this place and to find our way back later on easier. Just wondering if that is actually happening since you didn't confirm it. That said, would you like me to update the map in that link to help you keep track of where we are?

Those things seem nonhostile for now so as long as they just take peeks at us and aren't threatening me or a teammate, leave them be, otherwise goop 'em.

Either way, stick close to Richter and keep looking for that exit and/or control room, making markings to help the rest navigate.
