(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.

The elevator left without you, you're still safe on the main deck.

MC: LASER!

"ARGLEBLARG"
Presumably, you were trying to make an obscure reference. It surely would have been all kinds of clever were it intelligible. Indomitable rage wells up from within as your body is enveloped with flames, and you reach for your companions...
"Falcon....."

"Preparing ocular laser device..."

Meta: Mop-smash the spider.
(...) Spinning your mop like some kind of spider-shredding propeller, you prepare to charge the horde!
Quote from: monk12 on April 19, 2011, 12:14:36 am
Meta: Use Telekinetic powers to rip spiders to pieces. STARTING WITH THE FACE HUGGER
(...) Your telekinetic powers shred the face-hugging spider, then envelop you and your companions!









Telekinetic energy lifts the three of you into the air and flings you forward at startling velocity as flames shoot out from Derm's fist and incinerate the swarm of mecha-spiders! Flaming bits of mecha-spider are reduced to metal shavings by the rotating mop blade! Your combined force continues to propel you down the hall and past the janitor's closet! At last, a humongous laser pierces the rotating cone of fire and obliterates everything in front of you!!

When you come to, you discover an enormous circular hole in the wall in front of you. And the wall after that. And another. And the next 15 after that. The entire hallway behind you is blackened and slowly cooling from the wall of flames, and the area ahead (which looks like another crew quarters) has been run through by the massive laser.

(...) You enter the elevator. Deck M3 seems about right. You reach for the button labeled M3, but your hand slips and you press the... hangar button.

RW: Follow Frelock.
(...) You happily follow Frelock into the elevator. Suddenly, the doors spring open and you are sucked out into the vacuum of the hangar!

MC: Go forward into the now opened drill-tunnel. Extract/fabricate new Map from helmet.
(...) Hurdling over the cooling metal, you explore the area ahead. Looks like the living area for maintenance crew members and engineers in the lower floors. Further down the hall, you can see a large door leading to what you can only assume is the engineering lab. Whatever that is. You're too lazy to go over there, so you scan the living area and fabricate a map.

Quote from: monk12 on April 20, 2011, 10:01:34 pm
Meta: Explore!
(...) Traversing the tunnel of melted metal piercing one half of the living complex, you proceed through the blue-level security door at the end and enter the engineering lab. It's in surprisingly good condition, considering the state of disrepair most of the ship is in.

"You've made it much farther than most. Your group is the last left on this derelict vessel, the last to die. But if you do manage to survive the hell that awaits you, I suggest you give in to the hive mind when the time comes. Lest you be culled like the rest.
"Who are you? Why are you talking to me?"
"Just an observer. Your friend, the one I spoke to on the main deck, he's received his first enhancement. As have a few others in your group. I'd suggest you do the same. It makes the amalgamation so much smoother."

He disappears into the shadows.

Meta: Fix the hanger.  Tweak the odds as well.
(...) Your eyes sting as the water on the surface of your retinas boils then freezes. You jam your eyes shut and swim blindly through the empty vacuum. Briefly opening your eyes, you spot a red switch on the left wall, labeled "Emergency Force Shield Reactivation". You thrash over to the switch and mash it with your bionic arm, nearly smashing the control panel it's mounted on. Immediately, the force field reactivates. Oxygen starts pumping into the room and the artificial gravity is restored. Getting back on your feet, you discover that you jammed your laser dagger straight through the control panel and into the wall.
Quote from: HighEndNoob on April 21, 2011, 05:17:19 pm
Meta: Check the spider wreckage.
(...) It's more like a soot-covered pile of metal shavings that is unrecognizable as a former horde mecha-spiders. You retrieve a small sack from the janitor's closet and scoop a few handfuls in there. You know, just in case it comes in really handy later, like a heavily-foreshadowed plot convenience. You think they call those Chekhov's Herrings, or something like that.

RW: Get back inside the ship (somehow, maybe use my beard?) and close the hangar.
(...) You twist around in mid-vacuum, accomplishing nothing. Suddenly, you crash to the ground as the artificial gravity returns!
