I inform the AI that I am currently attempting to find it an access point to upload it to, but first I have to get out of here. I then try to get out of here.
[5] You tell Tux you'll find it an access point as soon as you can. It replies with a simple 'Understood'. You then run past the surprised soldiers through the two doors and arrive at where Khan was just moments ago. The same signs pointing to different parts of the warehouse complex and to Maintenance and the break room are here.
um... heal?
[Survival:6+4=8] You break through unconsciousness and stand up again with wavering steps.
I shall dub the Scavenger Bot 'Hank'. Odd it may be, but a bot called Hank holds a special place in my childhood.
Hank shall continue turning the mutant cheetah-men into paste.
Meanwhile, I find Derek who is probably bleeding on the ground and inject him with fluids from my Ultimate Nacho Cheese Dispenser!
[3] Hank heads for the last remaining beast. [Dodge:3][BP:2][Damage:5+1+1-1=6] He proceeds to kill the beast in an exactly identical manner to the last kill, severing and crushing another spine with the pile driver. Huh.
[4] You find Derek, who is just getting up, and attempt to use the Dispenser. [6-1-1=4][5-1=4] Surprisingly, it works - and quite well! Derek's wounds begin to heal.
Right Leg: FineHead: Moderately Wounded
I borrow a sidearm from a soldier.
[1] Hey, a gun would be cool. Those soldiers won't mind if you take one. [5] Fortunately, you stop yourself before you get yourself killed. You also locate the only weapon that's not a rifle or a grenade launcher with the soldiers - the Captain's pistol. Huh, you'd think the Council would equip their soldiers a little better.
Refuel the spider bot with the cheap oil, then have it and me kill the man, search him for items/keys, then feed his body to the converter to further power up the spiderbot.
[1] After refueling the spiderbot, you two approach the man with murder in your eyes. Right before you reach him, however, he wakes up and charges straight at [1] you in confusion and fear. [Dodge:1][BP:1][Damage:5+1=6] He's a giant for a man - and it seems his bulk is made entirely of muscle. He throws a punch that smashes against your face with a wet crack of bone and propels you a good five metres across the maintenance room. You hit the wall at full speed and pass out.
[1+2=3] The bot doesn't waste time standing around and attacks the man the moment he hits you. [Dodge:1][BP:3][Damage:4] It begins ripping apart the man's arm systematically.
[Survival:3] Things aren't looking too good for you right now.
Head: Critically Wounded look around for some materials to build into Derek's arm a barrier projector. Then build it into his arm.
[1] Seeing Derek get up with the PRB still in him, you fly into a furious rage and charge at him screaming. [Dodge:2][BP:1][Damage:1] You throw a weak punch at his head, which fails to accomplish anything. [5+1=6] Skarmee follows your example, [Dodge:5] but Derek bats it aside as it dives for an attack.
If i can, call out "Pills here!", and see if someone responds with said pills for Derek. Don't cancel my previous action.
I allow Iceball to borrow my pills. I conveniently do not tell him that, when somebody is in critical condition, they only act as placebos. Probably. I haven't actually tested them yet.
[3] You calm down, realizing what you're doing, and get back to helping Derek. Nirur lets you take a few pills from the box and you give them to Derek. [5+2=6] Derek will now always return to the state his body is in now every two turns unless killed straight away. Of course, now he has to walk around with his head horribly mangled forever. Yay?

NPC's Land.
[5] Again, only one box lands and unleashes it's beast at you.
Hunt.
[4] The beast leaps out of the box and inside the warehouse. [10] It goes after a crew member now, [Dodge:4] who somehow manages to escape. Woah.
Let's go, and somebody shoot that thing!
[6] Every single soldier and crewman run through the double doors with speed that would make a world champion jealous. [6] Only six troopers stay behind and attack the beast. [3][2][1][2][3][6] Only three actually manage to get a shot off towards it, [Dodge:5][Dodge:6+1=6][Dodge:3-1=2] and only shot actually hits anything. [BP:6][Damage:5] It finds it's mark in the thing's left lower leg.

Wow, Derek wakes up and then Khan goes down. Coincidence? I think not.
