Either Zak is a hallucinating giant, or...

It was the coldest winter on record, both physically and spiritually. 2134 would prove to be the decisive point in the Psychic Wars...

Deep in Russian Guiana, an insane band of shipwrecked psychically capable test subjects from one of the New Soviet Union's test tanker ships washed up on shore, unconscious and insane.

Convinced that they were living in some kind of pseudo historical fantasy land, they slaughtered a patrol of sentries and attacked a weapons development facility before being destroyed in a neo-Spetznaz* control reclamation operation.

Guys, Vaiolis might be about to have our characters be gunned down.

Anyway, I'm going to loudly ask the armed stranger what he wants. If he acts hostile, I'm going to try and kill him by joust(sorry Zak). If F.L.A.T. throws me off, I'll just try and stab the axe guy. I'm going to make sure that he's hostile before we attack him. He might have peaceful intentions but just be really, really aggressive.

If he isn't hostile, I'll try and strike up a conversation with him and find out where he's from and what he's doing.

Again, now would be a good time to express my sorrow at the deaths of Kogar and the other guys.

If he throws anything at me, I'll joust him. I SWEAR I'LL JOUST HIM
*Neo-Spetznaz sound so much like Neo-Nazi. I couldn't resist.

Next Turn:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I shall defend against the man if he is a threat, and order a flanking move against him with my comrades, as the man can't possibly stand against an attack against us, and we even have a giant bird with us. If he isn't, I say we let him pass. If he harms or steals, or any other kind of unfriendly action, we kill him of course...well okay, we don't have to. But if we have no choice...eh.

[Armok]

Damn axeman interrupted before anything on the list could get done! 


This turn:

I order Gaweir and Abronychus to flank him, and flat to attack from above.
I keep my distance, and try to pull the axe from his grip using the telekinesis, whither or not I succeed I then accelerate a 0.5 kg rock from somewhere behind me into his face at huge speed (do the math, it's quite deadly I can assure you, Xix is smart enough to chose the right rock and do stuff the most optimal way)
If he still is attacking, I try to keep a long distance and fight whit the telekinesis.
once he is down I go back to HQ, update the list, and try again to get everyone following it, I continue to do what the list say after that.


((A hint: when other people are under great stress, they become mentally unstable, Xix is cool-headed but the rapid stuff happening has kinda made her go into Real Time Strategy gaming mode, a bit of sleep will probably snap her out of it, but on the other hand it might be just what is needed...))

The File: (some minor changes)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

XiX:
- gather plant and animal data ((look out window, goggle species, repeat. will try to find at least one know and one unknown, but more in general see if both those groups are represented.))
- Organize briefing ((basically, hold a speach to everyone and make sure everyone knows what everyone needs to know))
- Search the net in general, and find how much is alike and how much is different from how I remember it.
- General research of the situation.
- Identify magic items of the party. ((don't worry, you'll get them back))
- Help in possible construction tasks. ((whit telekinesis staff, presumably))
- analyse situation and evaluate data for conclusions. ((the stuff people do when they look back and forth between photos and newspaper out cuts on cop movies, exempt she'll be doing it whit hyperdimensional graps on her computer))

Gaweir:
- Scout village:
  - Determine defensibility.
  - Check the number of villagers and the resources to their disposal.
- Teach villagers about tactics, hopefully getting them to work on defensive measures. (wall, trenches, better positioned guards, etc.)
- Try to meet whit the most high ranting member of the village, and gather and share as much information as possible.
- Do as above whit a medicine man or equivalent, if such exist.
- Guard the HQ.
- Try to improve defensibility and habitability of HQ.

Abronychus:
- Try to gather food and supplies to HQ.
- Patch up "the Chocobo". ((done?))
- If he's well enough, make a high-altitude scouting flight on "the Chocobo", and make a map of the island. ((presumably getting a piece of paper from my notebook and some piece of coal from some camp-fire))
- Gather loot from causalities.

Astor:
- Scout nearby area, unless deemed to hazardous.
- Try to improve conditions for healthcare in HQ.
- Help Gaweir whit his tasks.
- prepare food and sleeping accessories.
- Gather loot and possible useful body parts from causalities.

General things everyone should think of:
- Be careful, do not wander outside safe areas if not necessary.
- While the villagers have been friendly so far, do not divulge to much.
- Information of all kinds is valuable, please take note of things that may be important. When Given the opportunity try to question the villagers about various things as much as possible.
- common property may be put on the HQ floor or shelves, getting more storage is not priority and crying unnecessary stuff around is... well unnecessary.

We can make sausages out of their intestines!! :D

I'm joking here. Just pointing that out.

[WorkerDrone]

*Blarf!*

Ugh...there goes dinner.

*Falls over*

Ew...its all over my shiiiirt!

[Vaiolis]

- Patch up "the Chocobo". ((done?))

"the Chocobo" is healed? Without anyone doing anything? How very strange!

Also, Webadict, thanks for the pointer on Flat's inventory, now he can carry his coins

And as a last note...

Guys, Vaiolis might be about to have our characters be gunned down.

Ah, yes, I've grown terribly bored with this, so I've decided to gun you all down.*



*Feel free to replace the underlined areas with "excited" and "create an epic plot"

[Armok]

That's probably actual what she meant...

Mmm, +goblin tallow roasts+...

Hope we can get two turns today, but I doubt it considering what Valios said before.

EDIT:
Oh, and thanks for not Rocks Fall Everybody Dies-ing us, I've grown quite attached to Xix. 

[Vaiolis]

I'm pretty open right now, if Duke and Zako manage to post within 30 minutes or so I might be able to get a second one up. Not pressuring them, waiting is fine, but ya'know, possibility is there

[webadict]

If that Sphinx attacks, I might have to stop her... She only wants fight! The guy is obviously peaceful, I would know. I'm a giant bird. And I can tell. Giant birds are good at telling it.

[Armok]

wait a moment, I didn't even consider the possibility it isn't the angry axe-man Astor encountered, I also didn't consider he might be a really good poker-face and thus not look violent.
Xix reasons that if he was on their side, Astor would have walked by his side, and he doesn't exactly look or speak friendly. That and he says he's going to "mince you all to pieces".

He has somewhere important to be obviously. It might even be world-threatening. He might also be related to why we're here. And as long as he ain't hurting people, he ain't being bad.

[WorkerDrone]

At least I included the option of letting the dude pass. Why must we always pick fights? I say let 'em pass, and if he does something bad, down the dude.

[Armok]

if he had asked nice I would have let him pass. 

[WorkerDrone]

Pfft. I think I'll make a turn change them. Let Xix fight him alone. Why should I lift a finger for Mrs. bossy, eh?

[Armok]

ok, ok, if I detect whit the foresight that he probably wont do any harm, I wont kill him, and ask him who he is instead, but if I cant determine it my turn remains unchanged. I figure the most likely possibility is the foresight detecting he WILL do harm, that's why I attacked  him in the first place.

Really, I know I seem to bossy, but not being so would be breaking character, so what am I supposed to do?
She is only this aggressive and bossy because of all the traumatic stress, in difference to you fighters she has spent her life at a desk.
