Alright, alright already.

Turn 117 ------------
I heal andrea.
| Andrea's condition is awful, so you rush over to him and begIn pouring your TK energy into him, fixing his many injuries.
I heal andrea, and attempt to re-attach/re-grow his arm if at all possible.
| You stand up and look around. You see chaoticag standing over andrea's body, and see the terrible wounds andrea sustained. You leap in to assist, but suddenly notice something else amidst the truck's wreckage. You look closer, and see that it's andrea's severed arm, mangled but still wearing the sleeve of his armor. Without hesitating, you grab it and run to help chaoticag heal andrea. While he treats his other wounds, you concentrate on the severed arm. Reattaching a lost limb is no small feat even for you, but you are able to completely mend the bones, muscles, and skin. So devout was your concentration on healing that you completely forgot to keep your powers in check. Just as you were about to reconnect the nerves, a surge of force blasts through your body!
| Your power, strengthened over time, brought forth a great amount of destruction. Suffice to say you're currently at the bottom of a 5-meter crater. Andrea is intact, right next to you, embedded into the smooth clay floor of the crater. The truck was blown away. Chaoticag left a long trail along the clay, tumbling and sliding before stopping some thirty meters away. Boksi was unlucky enough to get hit by pieces of the truck propelled by the blast, receiving numerous lacerations. The dwarf joined the truck's remains and landed several dozen meters away along with them.
LASD tried to run away, but was hit by both the debris and Gantolandon, who was largely undamaged thanks to his armor. LASD was knocked unconscious by the impact, and even though his armor deflected most of the sharp splinters, a large chunk of the rear suspension has severely mixed up his upper skeleton. Neo was hit by an inordinate amount of clay dust, which stuck itself to his fur, causing him great discomfort. JK suffered similar trouble, in addition to several nasty cuts, but being on the ground lessened the effect. Kashyyk, being rather far away and having the best protection, was not harmed at all, while Korora suffered a wheel to the faceplate, but only his dignity was harmed. Rooster was unharmed thanks to his weight and the bone plates, and Zako... Zako managed to perform his disappearing act before the outburst, and thus was not harmed as well.
I help to heal andrea, using parts of broken truck and a powered harness as a surrogate of cybernetic implants, if Frelock attempts to re-grow lost tissue fail.
| Frelock didn't really fail at healing, but somehow that wasn't enough to stop your determinated self from helping further. You race to the scattered remains of the truck, and fish the metal harness out of them. You then proceed to jump into the crater with it. You see andrea neatly embedded into the clay. It takes some strength to get him out, but eventually you succeed. Getting andrea's unconscious body into the harness is another logic puzzle that you have to face. Finally you are done, and commence the TK healing.
my action is healing myself then.
| You wake up to see Gantolandon standing over you and preparing to heal. As you still don't feel your left arm, you conclude that whatever healing was performed on you was not yet finished. You decide to activate your own powers and provide whatever help is required. Suddenly, you feel strange. You look at Gantolandon just in time to see his eyes flare up with a white light! His power surges outward!
| You are slammed into the ground by the outburst, and Frelock staggers away from the impact, but Gantolandon manages to contain the force and nobody is harmed.
| He wavers slightly, shaking his head as if waking up, then continues. You feel a lot of pain due to whatever Gantolandon is doing, and use your own power to lessen it somewhat. Finally he finishes and steps away. You undig yourself and stand up.
| Well, it's not bad at all! The steel harness has been fused with your skeleton, adding strength to it. Your left arm, previously inoperable, can now move. In addition, the myomer enhancements have merged with your muscles - but, without electricity, they weigh you down instead of adding strength. You don't look too different, either.
I help Gantolandon with the handy tool kit of mine. 6 can't be that bad with this action, can it?
| You barely have time to pick up your toolkit when you are hit by Gantolandon and a some heavy piece of metal. Your ribs crack protestingly, and snap into many little bits. You feel your spine crack too, but it retains its integrity. You cough blood. The pain clouds your mind, and you pass out.
I put on my gear. Then I heal Andrea, if he is still in mortal danger, if he is not I try to create a protective armor from the remains of the truck.
| After the storm blows over you, you finally gather enough strength and get up. As you put on your new gear, you look at yourself. Well now, this is interesting.
| Your cuts have already healed. Looking intently at your arms, you realise you can now see the organic composition of your body. You quickly try it on LASD, and see every detail of his mangled ribcage. You also suddenly feel a strange guiding force, something that instinctively tells you of the exact point you need to strike to deal maximum damage to the victim. The force compels you to approach and strike at LASD, but you manage to restrain yourself and proceed with your plans. Even finding the truck remains is going to be difficult now, but you find some leftover sheet metal that's been hideously bent. It's beyond your power to bend it into shape though, so you contend yourself with just claiming it for the time being. You sit on the ground and think of various ways to improve your situation.
I continue to meditate to improve my focus.
| You try to meditate, but a sudden blast of clay completely throws you off. The clay gets stuck in every conceivable crevice, under every hair on your body! You feel like wearing a sandpaper suit, you can't focus for one minute because of the itching it causes.
I help with providing a competent vehicle
| You ponder the available options. It's not going to be easy to find a new vehicle, and asking for another one at the camp might not be all too smart. The options include making a cart out of the truck, which you as the only available wagon-pulling creature will pull, or using the remnants of the truck in creative ways and maybe construct a working vehicle out of that. In any case, you need to assemble the truck's remains first, so you go and haul in the biggest surviving part of the truck you found, the cabin with the engine and two front wheels. This tires you out, so you sit down and rest for a bit.
I TK heal Andrea primarily and if any one else needs it, them as well.
| Andrea is perfectly fine at this point, but you notice LASD receive a bad injury, and decide to help out. You make the mech crouch, open the cockpit, and climb out. As you approach LASD, you see that he's in really bad shape. Thankfully, you haven't forgotten all of your TK Healing yet, so you easily restore him into working order, without so much as breaking a sweat. You feel your healing competence level increase.
I use my enhanceable eyesight to pinpoint the location of the fighter.
| The injuries caused by the debris hurt, but you feel an unstoppable desire to know the location of your enemy. You focus on the direction the fighter fell in. Your zoom-eyes
slam into maximum zoom! You see three grains of clay on the top of the farthest hill in your view. Slightly above them is a faint hint at a trail of smoke. You now know the EXACT direction the fighter is in, but your sight has locked itself on maximum zoom again. (-2 concentration and sight)
I ask everyone for which way the fighter went and fly in that direction as fast as possible, looking for the fighter.
| You are able to see the faint trail of smoke behind a hill, and decide to fly in that direction. You power up your air manipulation, creating a powerful whirlwind around you! Clay flies up from beneath you! Lots and lots of clay! Somehow you don't feel like you're flying. Suddenly you fall down, and it is dark. The faint heat radiated by your body allows you to see that you've fallen into a crack in the ground that was filled by the clay you've lifted with your whirlwind. You're now buried under a lot of clay, with a little air to breathe.
OK, I'll use my enhanced intellect to find a way to enter my even more intellect-enhanced state, like when I'm powered off, without actually powering off, so that I can access my higher functions more readily without needing someone else to turn me on.
| You try to outsmart yourself, but nearly cause a hardware malfunction. Fortunately, the additional explosions (and the associated debris) have presented a sufficient enough distraction, and you avoided that fate.
