Cronus can't navigate in the Void, can he?

Everyone, this is Lyinginbedmon. He made Cronus.

By the strictest sense, only contraptions can navigate in the void, because players can't see anything in it. The closest Gmod comes to "voidsight" is precision-generated trails, but even then it's pretty hard for a human to navigate. Cronus just needs to know you exist to navigate to you though.

i'd love to join in. could i be added to the waiting list?
i'll need a little while to come up with a character

my main problem is a have a few ideas but none of them are really internet lore. more from books and games, which while discussed on the internet (what isn't) aren't popular in the way you probably want

You could be a summoner character. Some sort of semi-human who had his soul consumed by 4chan and TvTropes.

Monster: Blarggghhh
You:"Summon Billy Mays!"
Billy:"HI BILLY MAYS HERE, ARE YOU ON THE BALL?"

Monster: (explode)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Qwertyuiopas:I'll look for interesting samples aboard the other vessel, biological, mechanical, binary, or otherwise.
ExKirby: Beam aboard the wreck.
Dragnar: I'll use my tools to gather scrap material from some of the more heavily damaged parts of the ship.
Frelock: Examine ship, take anything interesting, then beam back to the Jefferson.
Tehstefan: I'll look around the ship for anything that might give a clue how to better protect the jefferson.
Sensei(GM'd): Attempt to link the ship's computer to the Jefferson's computer.
Inteuniso(GM'd): Attempt to repair/salvage the engines.

ExKirby: 3

You do so.

Sensei: 2

You have no idea what you're doing, and end up accomplishing next to nothing.

Qwertyuiopas: 3+1

Stepping over a few mangled bodies, you make your way to the apparent bridge. It's quite an impressive setup. You examine a few computer readouts, and find the sensor records on the entity that attacked the ship.
It is extremely large and definitely of extrauniversal origin. Its body is not rigid like any prop, but soft and organic, almost gelatinous. Voidscanners set to maximum scan area could not see the entire creature, so it appears to be far larger than a building or a voidship.


Dragnar: 5

You collect a ton of scrap, and a quantum storage device to hold it all. You have so many spare parts and bits of metal that theres probably always going to be something you need for construction in your scrap heap.
Got Quantum Scrap Heap (+1 to building anything when it is in your inventory)

Frelock: 3

You decide to take a look at the ship's weapons. You take two "50. cal machine guns", and a "High-power autorepair unit" from the engineering deck.
You beam these back to the Jefferson.

Tehstefan: 6

You thuroughly scour the derlict for anything that can help protect the Jefferson. You notice that there are little portable devices labled "Portable Temporary Auto-Repair Device". The walls these are attatched to seem to be in far better condition than the surrounding ones, and you decide to beam back twelve of them. After figuring out the remote-activation mechanism for the transporter, you then take two "Large Wall-Mount Quantum Storage Devices" and beam them back. Inteuniso will have to install them later.
During this process, you completely fail to notice numerous scrapes and bruises that you have incurred gathering all this.
It seems that this ship's size was its downfall- being shaken to death is a real possibility when you have the mechanical advantage of a giant lever. The Jefferson's small size might be a great advantage (and with these quantum storage devices, it won't be a disadvantage. It was getting mildly cramped in there with all those systems, but there should be a way to simply connect any new ones to the ship through the storage devices).

I think I'll have turns taken on the derlict not count twoards moving to the target. Think of it like when you're on the Jefferson, you're mainly waiting to get there and preparing for battle, but on the derlict you're scrambling everywhere to collect loot and data.

I have to go now, I'll bold all the names later.

Names bolded.

[dragnar]

Do we have any way to contact TOAST and NUKM? I would like to know what they know about this ship, since it's probably one of theirs.

I teleport back to the Jefferson and try to attach a Portable Temporary Auto-Repair Devices to myself.

[ExKirby]

Using my senses (and implant) I try to locate any nearby enemies-and fire on sight.

[Schilcote]

The Jefferson has communication equipment, and the derelict probably has a line back to HQ as well.

No enemies, everything's dead.

[ExKirby]

Who's the derelict?

Fine, I go back to the task of building my drone army out of... well, whatever I can that isn't in use.

[dragnar]

Who's the derelict?

...Are you even paying attention to everyone else's actions? We are all currently onboard a derelict ship, trashed by some huge space monster.

Derelict can also refer to a alcoholic bum. We're talking about a dead ship.

[inteuniso]

Salvage any parts from the derelict.

You could be a summoner character. Some sort of semi-human who had his soul consumed by 4chan and TvTropes.

Monster: Blarggghhh
You:"Summon Billy Mays!"
Billy:"HI BILLY MAYS HERE, ARE YOU ON THE BALL?"
(throws detergent ball)
Monster: (explode)

sounds good!

Name: Mitch
Race: Warped human
Skills: summoner (meme's and tropes etc)
Equipment: hammer pants and polo, with a funky pen in the breast pocket. a shield made of pure, solid rage
Description: In an accident involving an incredibly lame pun and over 9000 skittles Mitch was terribly injured and left in a coma, while unconcious the "net" had a glitch causing him to merge with the databases of tvtropes and somehow attracted meme's to himself. after waking 2 months later he found he could call some meme's and tropes into being, usually they did his bidding, sometimes they chose to do their own thing.

[dragnar]

Said "internet lore" is real in this universe, as well as a bunch of other fictional continuities. You could, if you wanted, ask Weegee to give you Weegee-stare powers (better have a charisma boost if you're going to try though).

Your first task.

Okay, you and that Knight guy are going to pop in at the next world-switch. Or maybe slightly before, since I don't want to deny you the awesome stuff available to you as a TOAST employee. Maybe have the gods teleport you in right before the big battle with the level boss.

[Frelock]

Go back to the Jefferson, and begin extensive scans of the area.
