WHY DID YOU HAVE ME KICK THEM WTF I DID NOT WANT TO BE SHOT AT.
I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

Modify the density values on all the starmen's bodies, increasing their weight to the point where they collapse.

REBOOT.

Shouldn't I be partially healed now? Or does the auto-repair not work while I'm unconscious?[/b]

Yeah, no weapons. Just PK(psychokinesis) powers.

I suspect you've never tried doing many illegal things yet in your game. The second the CCS knows you're "active", they'll come down on you like the hammer of God.

Spoiler: actions (click to show/hide)

Frelock: 1

You try this, but instead of collapsing, the density increase simply makes the Starmen's bodies stronger!

Text:

Suddenly, a massive robot appears on the horizon! As it approaches, you can see a smaller, human-sized robot hanging on to its back.
Typo: "Incoming ham..."
*music*

The smaller robot attacks with some sort of large lance-like beamsword, his eyes brightly glowing red. The Starmen's superdense bodies prevent them from dodging!
Roll for damage: 2+3(CMOABonus)=5
The Starman's body is cut in half, the edges along the cut glowing from heat.
The larger robot attacks with his fists!
Roll for damage: 6+3(CMOABonus)=9
The massive robotic juggernaut crushes the remaining Starman into the ground, leaving a large crater where his fist struck the ground!

"Little extreme there, Diesel. Nice job." The smaller robot powers down his thermal lance and walks twoards the party.
"Problems with the locals? I'm Exciter, LS-edition. This here is Diesel. We're looking for our commanding officer. Wears a fancy black suit and cape. He's been gone for trillions of years. You seen him?"
NUKM manages to get back on his feet. He doesn't have much to say.

Indeed.  There's got to be some pointers from these guys in a relationship database which point to their commanding officer, who should have some sort of positional data available.
