time doesn't really matter to us. or maybe it does... either way, don't you think that having a giant oculoid (though chianed) as a friend just might be a little useful?

And most likely blind

I think the bigger issue is that it has an army of oculoid friends...

Which could just as well be our friends too... Or eat us while Skree laughs at the treachery

[RAM]

Skree has worked hard and deserves our tasty metallic flesh.

Approach the large occuloid slowly, to gauge it's reaction, if any.

think the most non-violent, friendly thoughts you possibly can.

You begin to slowly move towards the back of the room, trying to stay as friendly as you can, hoping it hasn’t noticed you--



skrEEEeeEEeeeeeEEEeEeEEeEeEEeeeeeeEEEeeee

It howls a very pained roar. You immediately back off.

Is that our whip down to the right, or Oculoid tentacles??

Is… is that… could it be…?



HELL YES YOU GOT YOUR WHIP BACK

Look under the various rubble in the room

Gah! You can’t move any of this metal; it’s ridiculously heavy.

Communicate with smaller occuloids, send messages of 'friend' and 'help' and try to gauge their feelings for the giant one.

Unfortunately, you can’t get close enough to pick one up.

Edge carefully along the (fourth) wall to see if you can climb down into the second hole with the ladder.

Yep, you’re far away enough not to bother the thing. You’ll deal with this later. Right now, there’s something else you’re looking forwards to.



If you remember the map right, this room ought to be the Rec Room on the other side of where you woke up, where Patch said the control pallet is! You descend the ladder quite quickly, anxious to find the last of your brothers. You are very curious to see how many are left--



…

Oh. Oh no.

WHOOPS! Accidentally replaced this post with the consolidated round instead of posting anew because I'm dumb. Long story short, I'm gone for two weeks to study, then Round 15 begins, and Round 16 will be the last round.

They look fiiiine just need a bit of patching up... If anything try looking for some hidden arms for Patch or try to salvage some metal parts for later smithing. (What are those round triangle-shaped things... Some kind of heart or organ? And maybe check if theres something in the machine right there.. I looks like something was thrown into it.

OMG wait just noticed... Theres an arm stuck in the machine right there... TAKE IT

[Tarran]

Wow, it looks like someone did a number on them. I say we better get back to Patch before Monopoly Man does.

Call Skree back to us and haul ass back to Patch as fast as we can.

Also, I just noticed, the large occuloid is also missing it's mouth tentacles. Man, that must suck.

[b1gb0y2013]

Hmmm it actually looks like something tried to EAT those robots...

[Tarran]

True, true... I still say we should check up on Patches.

[b1gb0y2013]

True, true... I still say we should check up on Patches.

We got two weeks until then

Grab as much rubble as possible and take it back to Mr.Hat Thief.

This story is awesome, it's sad that it's soon over!

>Retrieve arms from- oh, right, someone beat me to it.

* RAM looks forwards to end of hiatus.

 The skinless robot torso gives me the idea that Gentleman might have come here for "repairs" already, but I don't recall exactly what obstacles before the two passwords it took us to get here. I'm assuming Gentleman would have decided the giant occuloid was "unsafe until proper methods of neutralization were acquired".
