Sorry for the unannounced hiatus. Had a car accident, suffered some depression. Should be okay now.
(Hope your doing well after the accident.)

Grab the pipe and the bleach, then start looking for something I can use as rope.

(5)You find a shipping container full of textiles, many of which are in good condition. Some are rotted out, but some are even in their original packaging. The reason they were dumped here at all is a mystery, until you spot the Brand logo. THere was an extremely offensive cartoon character that was wildly popular in a certain stellar system for a brief time as they began expanding, oppressing their neighbors, committing piracy on the space lanes, defaulting on loans, and sparking a huge spacenet flame war over centuries old traditional entertainment franchises. Their planet was eventually glasssed from orbit, and their citizens exiled from the spacenet for generations. Anyway, amongst the offensive t-shirts, the awful croc style sandals, complete with toed socks, and the pennants, cargo shorts, and very tight onesies, you find several packaged ropes. Seems an odd choice to have ropes in the product line. You turn the package over and the image of a noose practically leaps off the page, along with some graphic suggestions on who to use it on, and why.
”Aww YEAH! Home sweet cannon!”
Look for a larger bag that I could use to lug the cannon and ammo around in
Name: Bowser

Wake up. Check status.

You are alive and mostly well. Unfortunately, due to a combination of trickster magic, thieving vermin, and a comically incompetent robodoc, you are now mutated into an awkward mix of human and rat. also, Debby just found a container full of offensive clothing if you want to change up your wardrobe.
I make mental notes of where things are so I can guide the big people to them later, but all the various exploring Me go swarm over the Communication mini-hub, inspecting it top-to-bottom, inside and out, finding anything broken and figuring out what it needs to be repaired, my collective self is all focused on getting this working.

Name:
Kit (Kitty Hive)Species: A litter of 8 kittens that are linked together into a single hivemind.
Species distinctives: This litter of kittens have had their brains linked since before birth, and are essentially a single mind spread across eight tiny bodies. They show near-human intelligence, and are able to operate independently or together as desired. Their maximum separation range has not been determined, but placing one of them in orbit with the rest left on the planet caused no negative effects, and they were still able to act cohesively with no noticeable delay. To facilitate communication each kitten has been given a collar with a small digital display that shows whatever text the kitten desires it to display, up to a maximum of 13 characters long.
Overall status: Fine!
Quest objectives:
Figure out where I am? -> Find useful tools!
Inventory: collars with a digital display and neurolink to the wearer. each individual collar can display up to 13 characters at once.
Action Tokens: 1
(2) One of your selves paws the communication hub gently, then scratches at a seam. The noise of claw on metal and plastic wakes something up inside the hub. Not something electronic: a swarm of bugs begins pouring out every entry point in the hub. Yourselves back away and begin pawing at the critters before they al suddenly rise into the air, swirl around in a dizzying cloud of legs, thoraxes, and eyes, and then compress into a tight ballbefore falling to the ground in a big dusty pile of chitin.
"Gah! Chatters is no thief stealer! Everything I have got taken has been got taken fair fair! If anything your the thief stealer thief stealing my time schedule!"

(6) You argue so much that the hands slit into two each to argue back more effectively. You now have six hands instead of three, but each is half the size. This cacaphony is enough to seriously distract anyone nearby. Unfortunately, most of the gang is outside and elsewhere this turn, so they are unbothered ... for now.
Help everyone get their stuff squared away, by searching for rope, bags and such.

(4) the only one who seems to need help (besides CHatters, maybe) is the cats. You go over and gather up all the insects attacking hers, ball them up and eat them. They become dust, and you gain an energy point, or however we were tracking that.
continue magically trolling Chatters, draw some power from my focus doll
Name: Mr: Zorak
Species: Fifth-Dimensional Imp
Species Distinctives: Fifth-Dimensional Imp’s are incredibly powerful beings capable of warping reality to their whims; from a human viewpoint, they appear to be nearly omnipotent, but there are actually quite a few limits to their abilities which the imps refer to as “The 3 Rules”
1: Imp’s are never allowed to say their name backwards or they’ll get banished.
2: Their powers have limits. (Decided by GM)
3: They always appear as a small humanoid male wearing a bowler hat.
Status: Happy
Quest: Have fun and mess with people.
Inventory: Bowler Hat, fashionable clothes and a glowing crystal golem. A focus that looks like a troll doll
(3) you spawn three spectral homunculi, each in the image of your doll, each riding one of the hands, each calling out different insults and other nonsense. When the hands split into smaller versions, instead of duplicating, the spectral homunculi simply split down the middle, so each of the six hands is ridden by one half-doll. This naturally affects their diction and enunciation. You notice as the argument goes on that some kind of friction is arising between the left and right side dolls, as some of the inuslts are no longer directed toward the ratman, but toward each other.
