RW: Hurriedly disable the mech's anti Friendly Fire protocol.

Or their regular friendly fire protocol.

Whichever one makes them not shoot each other, disable that.

FW: Hurl more bilge water out of the boat.

Meta: Get un-dizzy, and get in the Gm and ride down the stairs, "un"-preferably into divide.

Fantasy: look foward

(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.

Look for any other signs that lead to different parts of this mysterious void-shape.

Meta: Close the door to the command center and jam my scalpel in the controls to seal it off  (hey, it always seems to work in the movies...)

Fantasy: Hop up to the crow's nest with the spring boots and see what I can see.

Turn 27

META TURN:
Oh boy, battle-mechs!

Goals
Find the keycard stations.

Current Soundtrack
Space Pirates Battle

Actions
RW: Hurriedly disable the mech's anti Friendly Fire protocol.

Or their regular friendly fire protocol.

Whichever one makes them not shoot each other, disable that.
(...) You close your eyes and type with your feet, and still manage to somehow hack into the battle-mechs' programming from the control room. You deactivate every friendly-fire protocol you can find. Suddenly, you hear several robotic voices speaking in unison from out in the hall:
"FRIENDLY-FIRE PROTOCOL DISENGAGED=>NEW HOSTILES LOCATED NEARBY=>ACTIVATING SELF-DESTRUCT FRAGMENTATION DEVICE."
Uhhh...
Meta: Get un-dizzy, and get in the Gm and ride down the stairs, "un"-preferably into divide.
(...) Shaking your head and holding your nose, you mount the Gordon Mobile and ride down the stairs on it. There are two signs: "Main Deck Storage (Sector 3)" and "Executive Lounge (Sector 5)".
Meta: "No pain no gain!"
Look for any other signs that lead to different parts of this mysterious void-shape.
(...) You see no signs. You might be blind.
Meta: Close the door to the command center and jam my scalpel in the controls to seal it off  (hey, it always seems to work in the movies...)
(...) You stab the digital control panel and the door opens. You can't close it!
Meta: Seal the door using commonly available items! I'm SURE MacGuyver did that a time or two!
(...) There was that time MacGuyver wrapped electrical wires around a door handle to lock it, but this door has no handle! So you just... put a chair in front of it. Probably won't help much.

Fantasy: Ask Thelia how deadly being trapped on the bottom of the ocean is for demons. If it is, get on the dwarf's raft. If it is surprisingly ineffective, get the demon out of the brig and onto the raft with us.

META TURN:
TAKE COVER!!!

Goals
Find the keycard stations.

Current Soundtrack
Space Pirates Battle

Actions
Meta: "John, get in this here sidecar! we're going to storage. Go to storage
(...)
Kyle: "John, get in this here sidecar! We're going to storage."
John hops in the sidecar and you race sown the hallway! Suddenly, the GM starts accelerating out of control! You fly into the storage room, knock over all the shelves like dominoes, fly out of the storage room, and start speeding toward a crowd of... robots?
RW: Duck and cover!
(...)
Derek: "HOOOOWAAAHHHH"
You almost magically fly across the room and cling to one of the upper corners like you're Spider-Man or something.
Meta: Climb into the hole in the ceiling.
(...) You drag yourself across the room and somehow manage to leap up into the hole in the ceiling. You'll be safe in here, right...?
Meta: Darn it. Find some glasses.
(...) For some inexplicable reason you start looking for glasses as you speed down the corridor. You don't find nothin'.
Meta:Follow monk
(...) You leap up and grab onto the hole, but can't pull yourself up!
Quote from: Battle-Mechs
SELF-DESTRUCT IN 5... 4... NOW.
BOOM
  • dermonster: (...) Pieces of jagged metal fly over your head, but the explosion doesn't even scratch you.
  • Frelock: (...) You manage to scramble into the hole just in time! No injuries.
  • monk12: (...) The explosion can't reach you up here.
  • HighEndNoob: (...) As you ride toward the group of battle-mechs, they all suddenly explode! Holding up the GM as a shield, you deflect all the shrapnel and fly directly through the flames miraculously uninjured!
  • _DivideByZero_: (...) The force of the explosion sends you flying off the GM and you're cut up by some flying shrapnel and slam into the wall!
  • Gordon-Mobile: (...) Thousands of pieces of shrapnel impact the front of the Gordon-Mobile, but they're all deflected and the GM lives to buff another day!
