RW: Try to fiddle with the mecha spiders settings and implement a more efficient setup.

FW: Summon more rats to distract any guards in front of us and make a dash to the dock.

....Sorry Monk, But it was for the greater good.

Meta: Wait for the explosion

Fantasy: make sure the guards are out cold, than help Edgar with his other problems.


Please have the health screen updated! It said I stopped the bleeding.

(5) You manage to struggle free of the guards and sprint to a safe distance before tossing a knife at one! (5 + 1 = 6) The throwing knife zips through the air, slitting a guard's throat! It then travels around the group of guards like a boomerang. It (5) Slits another throat, (Three 6's in a row!) decapitates three more (!), (4) slices open the last guard's arm, and (2) narrowly misses a random bystander. It then flies back into your hand. Holy crap.

Relax, the bleeding is stopped. I guess I could note that in the description, it just won't star healing until next turn.
Just kill 'im already.
I suppose that could be substituted for bowdown's action next turn...  :o

I'm going to tweak the odds, so feel free to do something mildly risky, guys.

Meta:Find the medical bay.  Tweak the odds.

Fantasy: Equip armor and sword, and guard the gangplank.

Fantasy: Get on the goddam boat

:D
Just in time!

I have no idea how you're all still alive after all that, but the fun is just beginning.

**********~
Turn 18
**********~


META TURN:

The main deck awaits.

Goals
Find the keycard stations.

Current Soundtrack
Dynamo Core

Actions
Meta: Cover Fred's back
(...) You pick your broken body up off the floor and give a thumbs-up to Frederick. "I've got your back, man!"
"Uh... thanks?" Frederick seems skeptical that the guy with two working limbs can "have his back".
RW: Try to fiddle with the mecha spiders settings and implement a more efficient setup.
(...) You learn a bit about the mecha-spider's inner-workings, and manage to increase its combat efficiency.
Meta: Wait for the explosion
(...) You freak out and start crying. Uh, moving on...
Meta:Find the medical bay.  Tweak the odds.
(...) You run further down the hall, and eventually enter a large chamber. There are eight glowing disks situated in a circular pattern on the floor, and a large blast door at the front of the room. Looking at the other side of the room you see several other corridors and... the medical bay!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Meta: Get out of elevator, carry Monk anywhere he wants to go
(...) Bounding out of the elevator, you heave Monk into the air. He flies screaming through the air, hits the ceiling, and lands in your arms. You run down the hallway at top speed and stop just outside the medical bay!

You may want to review the map before you rush into the prosthetics lab.
*cough* Check the monitor (sun icon) in the middle of the room.

Sorry about the forced hint, but not knowing the information given in this turn could have led to a lot of wasted actions. Anyway, lots of... uh... violence this turn.

**********~
Turn 19
**********~


META TURN:

Enter the keycards.

Goals
Find the keycard stations.

Current Soundtrack
Dynamo Core

Actions
RW: Ride mecha spider to the big room and examine all that is inside of it.
(...) The mecha-spider races down the hall with you on its back, and stops near the center of the large room. You look around and take note of everything in the room. There is a set of eight dimly glowing discs on the floor. Going around clockwise they are blue, pink, green, brown, red, purple, cyan, and yellow. At the head of the room is a large blast door labeled "Bridge". It's covered in yellow circuitry. Finally, at the center of the room there is a pedestal with a monitor mounted on top. Frederick approaches the monitor and punches the screen!
Meta:Examine sun thing in center of room, then get a new arm in the prosthetic lab (preferably with a machine-gun built in)
(...) You run up to the monitor in the center of the room and deliver a solid punch to the screen, cracking it! The screen suddenly lights up and you (and, presumably, the others) hear the familiar mechanical voice in your heads.
"GREETINGS GROUP 364. IT APPEARS YOU HAVE MADE IT TO THE TELEPORTATION ROOM. ARRANGED AROUND YOU ARE A SET OF TELEPORTATION PADS CORRESPONDING TO THE KEYCARD ACCESS LEVELS. EACH PAD CAN BE USED TO TELEPORT ELSEWHERE IN THE SHIP ONCE YOU HAVE FOUND THE MATCHING PAD. THE YELLOW BLAST DOOR IN FRONT OF YOU LEADS TO MY CONTROL ROOM, AND IS SEALED WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL SECURITY: YELLOW. IN ORDER TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE, YOU MUST USE EACH KEYCARD STATION IN THE SHIP TO INCREASE YOUR ACCESS LEVEL UNTIL YOU CAN ENTER THE CONTROL ROOM. YOU WILL ALSO FIND SIMILAR DOORS SCATTERED ABOUT THE SHIP WHICH REQUIRE LOWER ACCESS LEVELS TO OPEN. YOU MAY NOW BEGIN THE TRIALS. END OF TRANSMISSION."
Heading into the central medical bay, you see that the door to the cryogenics and prosthetics lab requires access level pink to enter.
Meta: Convince Bowdown to  step on the green disk via TECHNOBABBLE!
(...) You manage to convince Paulie to step onto the green disk. As he does, the disc glows for a moment then lets out a loud beeping noise. Huh.
Meta: Ride the Gm into the room
(...) You scoot along the floor on the GM, and stop at the edge of the large central room.
