New turn is UP! Not much's happened this time. Well, except that one thing.
------------
Turn 88 ------------
I dexterously cannibalize/disassemble the elevator for parts for JK and Korora, attempting to learn about mechanics in the process.
| You jump upon the elevator and start ripping it apart. Your progress is slow without tools, however. And there isn't much in terms of mechanics in the thing, it's just the cabin with some emergency brakes attached.
I help neo.
| You struggle to wake up, but your mind decides to rest itself some more.
I look for any remaining underwear to fashion gloves out of. I need to find a way to use this virus to my advantage…
| You approach the quantum stockpile of underwear and open it. Without thinking too much, you reach in and push a switch inside the opening.
PSHSSAAA-BWHUP!! A compressed pillar of various underwear items launches itself out of the stockpile, splattering against the opposite wall!!
| Luckily, no one is hurt, but everyone receives several extra pieces of underwear. Unabashed, you proceed with your plan, and gather several pieces of underwear. There are no ready gauntlets, but you manage to get a hold of some sturdy stockings, and use those with some strips of fabric to craft makeshift cloth gauntlets. They won't protect you, but at least they will not let you infect anyone by accidentally touching him. The underwear stockpile closes, a red light highlights the edges of the hatch.
Quick! Let's research chaoticag T-virus before its too late! I wan't to make some zombie slaves!
| You run over to chaoticag and grab him by an exposed portion of his skin!! You feel the virus entering your body! The cube reacts! Several green orbs shoot out of the ceiling and impact you. You are cured.
i guess i'll work on strenght. next door i meet, i want to atom smash it.
| You work on your strength, using the remaining parts of the elevator as a target. You quickly smash it apart, and learn how to augment your attacks with additional strength. (Power Attack, +1 attack and damage, +1 target dodge)
I try to short circuit the van's door to let it work again.
| The van's doors have no reachable circuitry, and you don't have any tools to open anything up. After a series of futile attempts, you decide you'll need some help in this.
I'll attempt to make the materialization/dematerialization of my halberd's haft a free action.
| You try to learn more about your ring, trying to attune yourself to it. However, the ring doesn't seem to be too inclined to cooperate. Even your best attempts fail.
I still have the dwarf armor, I go make enhancements to the car from it (spikes and/or whatnot).
| You dream of turning the car into a giant shining robot bristling with weaponry… it's all just a dream though.
For this turn, I'll shake off the nausea and confusion, and wake up all the unconscious people.
| You get a grip on yourself, overcoming the ill effects of the shift. Then you walk over to Zako and try to cautiously wake him up.
| He remains unconscious.
I learn how to summon objects, RPG7 ammo specifically.
| You focus your mind on trying to create something. Something like an RPG grenade… you focus… focus…
KA-BLAM!!!! Instead of creating a grenade, your focusing has created an explosion of a grenade!
| You sustain some moderate damage to yourself, which the cube quickly heals. Everyone in the room, including you, is dazed by the sudden explosion. You also didn't remember anything useful from your efforts.
I'll try to learn what my equipment does and how I can activate its abilities.
| Examining your body and its equipment further, you learn several things. The "rooflights" can be turned on and off with but a thought. The image on your chest glows from within, even though you are fairly sure the surface under it is just metal. You finally recollect what is it that the sheath on your thigh reminds you of - the Ashcraver's lesser form was of similar shape. You faintly remember something about "calling your attacks" as well.
I practice hovering and flying using a coccon of air. None of that pillar of air crap that almsot killed me.
| You fly freely in your dreams, and there are no roofs to stop you. The dream is so good you don't want to leave it.

Clad in shiny plate armor with a chainmail underneath, this dwarf could be a potent warrior. Armed with a notched axe, but cannot use it properly. (+1 target dodge) Almost dead.
The dwarf is starting to get used to the strange surroundings. He sees Gantolandon struggle with his car's lock and decides to "lend an axe".
| Seeing the dwarf approach with his axe raised, Gantolandong softly, but firmly pushes him away, not letting him touch the van.

Artifacts: "The ring consists of a toroidal adamantine core surrounded by a shell of tempered steel with thin bands of gold along the rims of the ring. Set into an adamantine frame on its top is a Star Sapphire imbued with the dark soul of a Greater Demon, under absolute control of the wearer. The steel surface of the ring is covered by three hundred tiny tiles of granite, engraved with images of various creatures, all being dead.
The wearer of the ring may call onto the soul of the demon, which can manipulate darkness and fire - anything from direct projection to creating sentient forms to giving protection against.
The wearer can also give an order to summon a creature mad with rage (any creature from the DF world you have seen), which will use up one or several of the stone tiles, depending on the power of the creature. The tiles may be restored, but only through personally killing sentient creatures with bare hands and absorbing their essence with the ring, which also adds that creature to the ""summonable creatures"" list.
The price to pay for all this power is a constant aura of darkness that any living being will feel (and will react accordingly), and the wearer may, under critical stress, give in and become controlled by the trapped demon soul.
(No passive bonuses. In a single turn, you can either perform an act of darkness/fire manipulation (including creating a prolonged effect), or summon a creature/creatures, but not both. The magnitude and potential of both depend on your skill - the ring grants ""basic level"" only. You can only absorb the essence of a creature you killed with your own bare hands, and only if it died last turn, at most.)
Currently applied effects: (-1 to relevant ability for every active effect)
Darkfire halberd - haft of materialized darkness."

Environment:
Dark Metal Cube: A large dark metal cube, 10 meters to a side. The floor is covered by a large amount of underwear, and a rug of a greenish color, that feels like moss to the touch. The ceiling glows with a uniform white light, leaving no significant shadows in the room. Along three of the walls, there are 9 pedestals, marked "I" through "IX". The pedestal marked "IV" is encased in a pillar of green crystal. The "VIII" pedestal is glowing. On the fourth wall, there is a green panel with nine yellow buttons, also marked "I" through "IX", and two smaller buttons, one marked "X" in the upper right corner, and one marked "Hepl" in the bottom left. The "IV" button on the panel is depressed and glowing green. On the same wall there are hatches with latches, leading to quantum underwear stockpiles. One stockpile is depleted, its hatch is surrounded by a red light.

Background: [4] Um.. Well, yeah, you did notice the underwear.
