And yeah, your cunningly disguised post managed to slip by me, zchris. I'll go add ye. In the meantime, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Since the game itself is over a year old, it's more than fitting.
To celebrate, each of you receives a present. Since I couldn't think up proper presents for each of you, you all receive 1 fate point! Plus, in Christmas and New Year's Spirit, you all get a +1 bonus to all of your rolls next turn.

Turn 164 ------------
Players: I run around trying to be moderately helpful. I can heal people, at least.
-----------------------------------
I'll try to modify my new knuckles to recover some dexterity. (Keeping overshots, if it's relevant).
[AI] GAH! Look for something to replace gauntlets!
Well, I'll keep on working with RCTKB to move Kashyyk onto the truck.
I summon a door to the room which holds my mind's CD's. (hehe) I look through the CD's for any concerning fighting techniques.
[AI] Keep trying to route regeneration to make myself more horse and less turtle.
I hop on the back seat of the truck and keep on fiddling with the Rad-Man.
I grab the bone axe lying in the truck's cabin, unless someone protests my doing so, and a flashlight. Then I create a scanner on my headband that can analyze any object to find its weakest point, thereby allowing me to hit said weak point for massive damage.
Continue working on my multi-tasking in an area more out of the way.
RTTAI:(4) Wake up and continue practicing.
I'll try to understand the workings of the truck, especially the currently disabled features, though avoiding damaging anything. Probably avoiding even touching anything that could break in any conceivable way other than a Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure.
Allied NPCs: Remain where it is.
Neutral NPCs: Help Janna with whatever.
Try to replace the broken windows, somehow.

----------------
Wayside V. Temporary camp some distance north of "Andrea's Furnace". Time passes. The adventurers disperse completely and begin discreetly working, each on his own task.
Zako guides himselves away from the team, and begins a grandiose collaboration to try and master self-control. The merry bunch of kid-sized humanoids makes a heroic effort to work efficiently, but Zako is once again confused by the multitude of feelings and runs rampant through the desert. Thankfully, his selves didn't run too far off before he regained control.
Boksi goes on a helping rampage, providing quite excessive assistance to every teammate he sees. He helped Korora reforge the Scrap Knuckles, by reducing them to molten slag, almost taking Korora's hands with them. To his credit, Korora managed to take advantage of it, and reforged the knuckles anew, with completely different properties.
Frelock stands in a picturesque pose, his hands on his temples, brows furrowed and face convolved into an expression of utter concentration. Not just for show, but because he once again attempts to remotely lift the great steel body of Kashyyk. In the truck's cabin, LASD tries to work in solitude, intensely studying his marvellous Rad-Man while Simon and Janna mill around the vehicle's front. Boksi answered Janna's call and tried to make glass for the truck from the soil, completely ignoring the chemistry of the process, and resulting in a flat sheet of opaque ceramics and partially singed surroundings. Jay briefly distracts LASD by procuring a flashlight from the seat under him, and commenting that "if Frelock doesn't succeed soon, we might need gas masks".
And Frelock succeeds! Following his head's motion, the barely visible bubble of telekinetic force rises, Kashyyk enclosed within it. Triumphant, Frelock turns to look at the truck, seeking to gracefully lay the body onto the vehicle. And as he does so, the bubble, still following his head's motions, gracefully
slams into the poor vehicle's cabin, hopelessly mangling the front end and bending the thick steel frame. Adding injury to insult, the bubble collapses, sending Kashyyk flying forward with the acquired inertia and all the grace of a sack of steel potatoes, barely missing Jay as he breaks through the cabin's back wall!
Startled by the crash, LASD inadvertedly triggers a powerful burst of radiation from the Rad-Man, and hastens to shut it off before anyone is irradiated. But as he does so, he realises a potential use for the effect, and keeps the radiation emitted through a narrow cone of the device instead. Focusing on the device's feedback, he manages to detect the presence of many things around him, forming a picture not unlike that of a radar! Instantly forgetting that he was almost killed, LASD returns to examining the properties of the Rad-Man, delving deeper and deeper.
Meanwhile, a fierce argument broke out outside, where Simon, Janna, and Jay Kayell were yelling down upon Frelock for, respectively, almost killing them, doing five man-months of repair time worth of damage to the truck, and almost
severely wounding them. Frelock takes refuge in a force bubble and retreats to a higher altitide, taking some consolation in seeing Kashyyk lie on the truck's platform.
Kashyyk's mind. Virtual landscape. Deciding to rummage through the depths of his mind and search for some more training data, Kashyyk focuses and calls forth a very normal-looking door. A simple wooden door, with an A4 sheet sticky-taped to it, saying "CD STORAGE". Not in the least surprised by the comparably out-of-place appearance of the door, Kashyyk opens it.
-
Woah. Inside the door - and there's really no better way to say it because there was clearly no room behind the door before - was a massive, no, stupendously massive warehouse. Hundreds of meters long, wide, and high, its humongous steel shelves were filled to the brim with nothing but CD cases. Billions upon billions of CD cases. Right near the entrance, a small but advaced-looking forklift cheerfully stood out as a bright yellow blotch against the silvery-gray background.
Suddenly...
KRRRRAKKARAKKARRRRRTHOOOM The entire warehouse, the entire world inside Kashyyk's mind suddenly shook! The massive steel shelves upon which the billions of CDs rested moved in unison! Among the rattle of plastic and moaning of steel, one sound was heard, very clearly.
TWANNNG! -
Oh crap. Kashyyk had but seconds to react. He lunged for the exit. Loud crashes of massive shelves falling in an apocalyptic domino effect were hammering upon his ears. He flew through the opening and landed back in his virtual world. Glancing back, he saw the bright yellow blotch disappearing under a torrent of steel and plastic before the avalanche came bursting through the doorframe! Throwing himself out of the way, Kashyyk watched for several minutes as the shattered CDs poured out, slowly coming to a realisation. Why did he even need CDs? A glance at the training machine confirmed the realisation - the label on the disc reader clearly read "
ASUS NanoDisc 12x". Kashyyk sighed and returned to look at the continuing CD avalanche. It looked like it could go on for quite a while.
------------
Background: [6+2] Suddenly, a very cold wind blows from the north. Dark clouds pass overhead, and suddenly small white flakes begin to fall from the sky. Within minutes, the cold ground is covered with a thin layer of snow. Everyone who isn't unconscious or naked feels a little happier for some reason.
Milling around the hauler, Qwer'Ty attempts to find something of interest in the machine, something that would help the team on the future journey. Once again looking over the massive rear suspension, he suddenly notices something. Something that he thinks wasn't there before. Tucked away behind the side armor plate, suspended on thick strips of red cloth, the shoebox-sized metallic container looked terribly out of place. Its green paint stood out even more, and seemed to faintly shine and glitter even though there was very little light. Carefully, Qwer'Ty reached in and took the box out.
After he took it out, he stood for a while in disbelief. On top of the box, written on a sheet of paper in large handritten letters, was a message. "Greetings from IRL". Some of the people noticed him standing, and gathered around. Finally, Qwer'Ty broke free of the stupor, and hastedly opened the box.
Inside were 12 identical green cubes. The cubes were metallic, coated with glittering pearlescent paint. Wrapped around each was a thin red ribbon, also metallic, carefully stamped onto the surface. The cubes were almost weightless, but just holding them in the hand seemed to ease pain and raise spirits. Suddenly, as one, all cubes began to glow in the hands holding them, and burst into a spray of glittering sparks! The wind picked up the glitters and carried them away into the faraway twilight to the south. And as soon as the last of the glitters disappeared from sight, the snow stopped. The wind ceased, and temperature began rising, but everyone who experienced the sensation felt the warmth long before. It teemed within the heart. Or whatever robots have instead of a heart, in Korora's case. The beautifully heartwarming moment was suddenly ruined by LASD's high-pitched yell.
-
Oh no. Everyone get down, INCOMING!! And two seconds later, ten vapor trails struck the ground just behind the truck, showering everyone with soil. On the horizon to the north, almost a mile away, four menacing figures were walking, approaching the team at a brisk jog. Janna and Simon were the first to react. Reaching for any available weapon and hitting the dirt, they yelled simultaneously.

Artifacts:
Description: A massive, massive, MASSIVE sword. It is three meters long, 1'3'' (~40cm) wide, and dazzingly bright. Its fine steel has been polished to reflect light like a mirror. Its one edge is curved, jagged at the hilt, the other is straight and so sharp it could probably slice adamantine blocks like salami. Down the center of the sword, which is at least 2'' thick, runs a hollow slit 3'' wide, in which yeat another, smaller and straighter sword is concealed. The entire surface of both swords, except of course the sharp cutting edges, is finely engraved with uncountable images, among which the launching of the Challenger, world war II, a nuclear explosion, a trainwreck, and a rotary excavator. The hilt itself (being at the same time the hilt of the smaller sword) is decorated with gold and emeralds you can only assume you've taken from someone, arranged in beautiful patterns, and the handle is woven with three lines - one is a scaly snake with two small rubies in the eyes, and two seem awfully like DNA strands. You get a feeling you could decipher the human genome if you looked closely enough. The guard of the hilt is exquisitely detailed as well, but right down the senter of it, spanning the breadth of the sword, is a solid rectangular golden plate, with the single word: "ASHCRAVER" deeply embossed onto it. The entire thing is so immeasurably brilliant, you almost don't want to touch it fearing it'll stick to your hand and corrupt you like some magic ring. Overcoming this fear, you pick it up. Despite its size, it is relatively lightweight, relatively, of course, to anything else so large and made of steel. The hilt of the smaller blade has a folding guard that makes the weapon look like an overgrown sai.
Parameters (full sword): +2 to damage, +1 to attack, -1 agility.
Parameters (core blade): +1 to damage.
Known Details: "The Ashcraver seems to accumulate the energy released by the deaths it causes. The process is admittedly rather slow, but has good uses.
Can heal wounds.
In mech form, Korora can unsheathe the sword by shouting ""ASHCRAVER! MAXIMUM POWER!""
The sword has an AoE ranged projectile attack activated by shouting ""RAIN OF PAIN!"""
Description: 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.
Parameters: Applies a -1 penalty to using Fire and Darkness manipulation for every active effect already applied. Current penalties: -2 Darkness.
Known Details: "
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."
Description: An odd-looking gnarly stick made of iron and steel. The many wrinkles and crevices on its surface are ever so slightly glowing.
Parameters: No quantifiable effects.
Known Details: The staff feels special, capable of doing wonrous things. Some of those things include: summoning a small lightning that seems to charge the staff, when being hit against the ground; launching a spark of electricity that explodes in a sparkling firework-like burst, on giving a generic mental command.
Description: (Universal Radiowave Manipulator) A hexagonal reflective box, rougly a foot across and 10cm thick.
Parameters: No quantifiable effects.
Known Details: It can receive, process, transmit, focus, and disperse energy waves over a rather wide electromagnetic spectrum. Can work as a radio or a mini-microwave. Contains a battery that can be recharged by applying any electricity to the surface.
