Disclaimer: Any errors in this turn are due to sleep deprivation, and not due to the ineptitude of the GM at all.
Just keep walking. Hopefully my turn is before Aussie's (he's probably not got a lot of good feelings towards me right now). I'll use my 1-time challenge bonuses for movement.
|You pay absolutely no atteintion to the 80’s bot trying to kill you, and you just keep walking forward. A mysterious force adds a spring to your step, and you go very fast indeed. You got to 530m.
I Focus all my mind energy on a blast of mind force into the stupid robot
Aussie has become enraged
|The pain isn’t so bad that you can’t carry on. You try to unleash a powerful mental kinetic blast at the killer earth bot.
|Your attack is pretty weak, but it still packs a bit of a punch.
|You somehow epic failed a aiming though, and a bolt flies off in a semi-random direction!
|The 80’s bot is hit by the blast!
|It’s hit right in the head!
| | |The 80’s bot’s face is completely messed up, it’s sunglasses are broken, and only one of it’s eyes work anymore. You feel that the only reason it survived at all is because it’s just so cool.
I will set up my sentry gun in this area and attempt to upgrade somehow using the shield I just found. And I set the Sentry Gun NOT to fire at Shoruke.
You set the sentry gun upright, and then you try to attach the silver shield to it.
|You can’t think of a good place to attach the shield to the sentry gun, so you keep it for yourself.
Heal my foot.
You try to heal up your broken foot somehow.
|The sheer pain of it prevents you from being able to do anything.
Call the producer to get this stupid red-rodent-puzzle out of the way because it's frustrating and probably costing him viewers.
You call a producer of the show. (Somehow, you knew his number, and you got your headset to work). –Ring- -Ring- “Yes, hello, who is this? Oh Siquo you say? I’m a huge fan of yours, I hope you win, and I’m not just saying that because I’m the producer assigned to you. What’s that? You say you’re stumped by the puzzle at 600m? Well, I’m not really supposed to tell you this but…You noticed how when the red button was pressed, a creature appears? Well, if you kill those creatures off, a way to get over the wall will appear. The more you kill off, the longer the way to get over the wall will stick around for. I hope that answered your question. Bye!”
You decide to take the producers advice, and so you attack the annoying Killer Mech Rat as your first target. You run up to it, and give it a mighty slash with your beamsword!
|The sword hits it right in the neck and
| |The rat is now 60% decapitated! He’s gone into super insane mode too.

|He jumps and bits Siquo in the right arm!

|The
wasps try to figure out how to get past the steel door.
|They somehow realize that the pressure plate controls the door. They still don’t know how they’re going to get through though. It’s not like they can just stand on the pressure plate then zip on through.

|Once again, Aussie is hit right in the chest by the rolling planet!
| |Ouchies! Aussie is completely run over, and the killer earth bot’s sheer mass causes almost all of Aussies bones to break. The killer earth bot is shut down remotely again, and the medics drag the unconscious Aussie into the medical clinic.
|The healing of all those bones is going to take a while, about 5 turns or so.
Stunning Sword Sentry Gun: At 500m. It attacks by firing electrified swords at Katsuun’s enemies. Accuracy rolls of 3, 4, 5, or 6 cause stunning rolls, and accuracy rolls of 4,5, or 6 cause damage rolls, sword effect rolls, and possibly critical rolls in addition to a stunning roll. The gun can’t move itself, and it’s pretty heavy so carrying it requires a strength roll.
The gun receives the orders that Shoruke is a friend.

As I promised before, there will be two new players introduced into the game, on turn 40 specifically. I'll put up the two characters available after the next turn. No claiming spots now I'm afraid.
Anyways, related to that, there will of course need to be some new professions for the new characters to have, and coming up with a few is this turns challenge.
So the challenge is to post professions of any sort, really. Keep in mind that it's the year 2021. If you want, you could also include one positive and one negative skill that they could start with.
If I end up using the profession that you came up with, you get a +2 bonus to absolutely anything.
