I find it truly unfortunate that Emperor cannot continue to play. Naturally, his wishes will be upheld...until somebody else claims the character that is. That's right, there's now an open slot. Of course, none of the people already playing can claim it. Nevermind about that then, I misunderstood.
I sing in an attempt to put Aussie to sleep so that the zombie bot can tear him apart.
|You sing a lullaby and play your guitar. You played pretty well, but the song didn’t carry up into the room Aussie is in.
I (with my mind) try to get control of the zombie robot
| |You infiltrate the zombie bot’s mind with your mental powers, and he becomes friendly towards you. There will be a control roll each turn, but you will gain +1 to it, since the zombie bot is pretty mindless in the first place.
Okay, puzzlewall is out of the way, Get Wall-Running!
|You start wallrunning again, but you somehow manage to run straight into the small part of the door that didn’t retract upwards fully.
|You pull off some fancy gymnastics, and you manage to jump down and land safely, and you even add in some crazy flips, somersaults, and handstands when you land. When you’re finished with all of it, you discover that you got to 410m.
I've been left without internet.
All further turns are run forward. I don't care if something is in the way, run!
Lacking anything better to do, you run forwards.
|You quickly regain the distance you lost by going backwards, then you watch Siquo’s fancy moves, and after a bit more walking you get to 440m.
EDIT: 'Kay that's better. Since I'm still conscious now, I'm going to... uh... (Geez. What to do.) Read a magazine on fixing killer robots. Every clinic has magazines.
|You look for a magazine on killer robots in the operating room using your flashlight(-1 power), but all you found was a gardening magazine from 1988. You are amazed by pictures of minuscule vegetables, and mystified by stories of people planting plants by hand. The power snaps back on again, so you return to the operating bed.
WaspSwarm: At 150m. Loyal to Aussie. Intelligent(+1 to thinking what to do rolls). The swarm gets two attacks per turn, but gets -1 accuracy with the second attack. Speedy(+1 to movement rolls). The swarm has been resurrected from the dead.
|The
wasps continue on their journey back to the destroyed nest.
|The
wasps got there is record time, and when they got there they found…
|A miniature assault robot sitting on the ruined nest. The assault robot opens it’s eyes when the
wasps draw near, and it regards them coolly.
Mini Assault Robot: At 150m, sitting on the ruined nest. Gets +1 accuracy.
|The robot asks the
wasps if the nest he is sitting on is theirs, and they tell him that it is. Nothing else is said, or done, by either of the parties involved.
Robotic Zombie: In a small room above 270m. Using a grabbing attack, and gets +2 accuracy if it has a hold on an enemy. Causes plague rolls with successful bite attacks. A slave of Aussie.
|The zombie bot decides that living under Aussie’s rule wouldn’t be so bad, and he becomes an unquestioning slave of Aussie.
|The zombie bot lets go of Aussie, but doesn’t think about helping him to get unstuck from the wall.
Killer Earth Robot: At 400m. Currently shut down. A slave of Shoruke. Possesses superior programming, of some kind, as well as a extremely smashed face.
The half sunk, shattered visage lies still.
---:
|Siquo hears a loud sound behind him and he finds that the puzzle door has closed itself. He also notes that the ticking sound is gone.
Clinic Staff: In the clinic.
The staff try to perform the surgery again using the machines.
|In the middle of the operation, the machines suddenly start beeping erratically, and a dramatic smoke issues out of most of them. Shoruke’s body is obscured, and the staff doesn’t see what happened until all the smoke emitting machines have been unplugged. They see that Shoruke’s ribs have fully healed, but they also see that
|all of Shoruke’s stuff that was lying near the bed was incorporated in Shoruke’s body somehow.(See your status for the full explanation) The staff wake up Shoruke, and he says he feels fine. They decide that discharging him at the beginning of next turn is still perfectly okay.
