darn, qwertyuiopas got to the obvious plan first... is an invisibility cloak available from the construction computer?
There's ways to make yourself invisible, but they don't work on contraptions.
EDIT:
Normally, I'd wait for everyone to post their turn, but I'm bored and feeling creative.
TURN 18:
qwertyuiopas: I'll walk up to it, but if it aims toward me, retreat back out of range.
Dragnar(semi-GM): Attempt to use some sort of TOAST device to make myself invisible.
ExKirby:Nod to the NUKM, then follow. If I can see my friends through, say, some glass, shoot, and get them to follow.
Frelock:Get a forcer cannon, synthesize explosive shells, and commence bombardment.
tehstefan: We should make a car, and let me drive it. I can drive like a madman! Meanwhile, see if I can't build a motorcycle.
Sensei(GM'd): Closely inspect the fortification.
Inteuniso(GM'd): Help someone.
: 5
You inspect the construction computer, and notice a "cloaking device". You select it, and the machine constructs it. It is a device that looks similar to the forcer cannon, but the button is on the other side. You press the button, and you notice that you have become completely invisible.
Qwertyuiopas: 4
You walk up to the barricade. Nothing reacts to your presence, but it appears that there is no way around it.
Frelock: 2
You seem to be having trouble making anything that can explode reliably.
ExKirby: 5 (I forget what I wanted the NUKM to do...)
You follow the NUKM into a large building, which your implant refers to as "TOAST Millitary Centre". He points one of his arm-discs at a sensor next to the door, and it opens. Inside the building is a large screen that takes up a whole wall. On it is a strange looking image that appears to be a representation of the surrounding area. The NUKM tells you about the current situation... (see bottom of post)
Tehstefan+Inteuniso: 6&3
Tehstefan attempts to construct some sort of vehicle. Instead of a motorcycle, he decides to use the Ultravan as a base. Inteuniso carries parts from the junk pile while Tehstefan attatches them to the ultravan. The first thing he attatches is a "VSP-Grade HyperDrive Module" Ignoring the warning labels (namely, "do not attatch to terrestrial vehicle!"), he wires it up to a button on the inside of the vehicle and the turbo control. He then attatches a "TI Standard Rangercam+scanner", along with a "VSP Rangercam Upgrade". He wires these up to another button. Two "Ageis V3 Prototypes", 4 "TI KintetIC Killing ASsiStants" (Big fist shaped thing), two "Laser machine guns", 2 "Phaser(targeted rad/pressure emmiter)s", a "TI tractor/stasis beam", and a "TI Advanced Navigation/Targeting System (+VSP upgrade)", and he's finished. W00t.
Tehstefan gets Novice Mechanic (+1 to working with vehicles). Inteuniso gets Novice Hauler (+1 to carrying stuff).
Sensei: 4
Sensei examines the fortification blocking the hallway. It appears to be heavily armed. There dosn't appear to be any way around it, you're going to have to destroy it. You mark the vulnerable-looking pieces of it in your mind (+1 to attacks against it).

The NUKM tells ExKirby about the current situation. "You've met Cronus. That was only part of him that we destroyed. The Master Chip will just keep cranking out drones until it's destroyed. I can deal with the drones, the Master Chip will activate a sh**load of them when it gets smashed but I can take care of that. What I can't do is take out the Master itself. The TI military usually boards a VSP vessel and goes out and blows it up, but something took them out. I registered their deaths and the destruction of their ships." ExKirby asks about VSP. "VSP is the Void Ship Project. TOAST is divided into three groups, R&D, Military, and VSP. The Void is the space outside the map. It's infinite in size, which makes it an attractive asset, but it isn't easy to survive out there. VSP revolutionized void tech a few years ago with the Voidsight implant, which does what you might expect it to do. It paved the way for the first real Void Ship. It was a simple rig, just a Mermaid with a rangercam bolted on, but it was an enormous step forward. Cronus hides its Master Chip in the Dark Void. Nothing could get to it, that is, until VSP came along." NUKM points to a doorway marked "Armory". "I've elevated your security clearance to level 4, that should get you access to the better guns and implants. Your friends are taking the entrance exams, they'll be out in half an hour or so. In the meantime, familiarize yourself with TOAST technology and history, and get some new weaponry and implants. There's a library computer over there." The NUKM steps into a large box labeled "NUKM Storage/Transport/Repair", and the door to it shuts.
