Let's see how many Meta-s we can get in this thread.

Meta: Search for the Periclase

Fantasy: Name my new rat friend Bloodbeard, then ride him into the trap hallway along the same path taken by the orb

There's always at least one guy in the party who immediately attacks every NPC he comes across, hostile or not. This time, he's in the majority.

META TURN:

THIS IS THE FUTURE

Goals
Find the keycard stations.

Current Soundtrack
Potential For Anything

Actions
RW: Attempt to contact MC with the helmet I still have in RL.
(...) You focus as hard as you can to get a signal through to MC.

"I -an -ar--y --ar -ou! W---'s ha--eni-g?!"

RW: Throw something at the men in dark uniforms to distract them, allowing the civilians to strangle them from behind!
(...) Throwing your sword always works, so you lob the plastic blade at the closest uniformed officer! It whacks him on the head and he spins around to face you.

"AAAAAAHHHHH! Cyborgs! Open fire!"

The uniformed officers start firing on you!

John is a dumbass!
Derek: You leap out of the path of the spray of bullets and start scrambling across the tarmac!
Frederick: You advance on the guards while dodging their projectiles and grab one from behind!
Monk: You run up to one of the officers and punch him in the stomach, then take his weapon!
Kyle: You dive to the side, holding your gauss rifle at the ready!
John: Several bullets perforate your chest, piercing your lungs!

Meta: Heal myself
(...) You don't really have any wounds that require intervention on your part to heal. Nevertheless, you attempt to use your underwear as a bandage for your lightly bleeding gums. You rip your sole article of clothing to shreds, failing to accomplish anything.
Meta: Get that thermometer out and heal myself.
(...) Attempting to phase out the simulated world, you move your hand toward your eye. As you do so, you feel a long, glass rod in thin air before your face. You jerk the thermometer out of your eye and faintly hear it drop to the floor in the holodeck. You rip an invisible bit of cloth from your real jumpsuit and use it to soak up some of the blood.
Meta: Search for the Periclase
(...) You jog around the tarmac, looking at the various ships scattered around. None of them are anywhere near as large as the S. S. Periclase. Hell, about six of them could fit in the hangar bay. These ships look more like light civilian transport vessels. What are all these people running from, anyway?

(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.

Current Soundtrack
Potential For Anything

Actions
Meta: Loot an ally of his clothes.
(...) You leap at Derm and try to rip off his pants, but he casually steps aside and lets you pratfall in front of him. Your shame remains exposed.
Meta: Using uncanny prediction, pick up the thermometer, and throw it at the "off" button on the control panel.  Tweak the odds to help me.
(...) You clutch at the thermometer, only causing it to roll further away.
RW: Attempt to convey our need to press the pedestal button and our current situation.
(...)

"We're in space inside a simulation and also another simulation and you're not real and you have to help us push a button on a pedestal thingy PLEEEEEAAAAASE"
"...What?!"
"Just let us on the damn ship and we'll explain!"
"Stop... choking me... first!"
"Oh, right. There."

A screeching army of robots emerges in the distance, and begins sprinting across the tarmac!

"Quick, everybody inside the ship! That means you too! MOVE IT!"

RW: Regenerate through sheer willpower.
(...) You continue to bleed profusely.
Meta: Hijack Shuttle
(...) You suddenly go berserk, spraying the crowd of soldiers and civilians running onto the closest spaceship with a torrent of M16 rounds and flaming pyrokinetic death!

"JAAAAAAKOOOOOOOODAAAAAAAAA!!!"

The smoke clears, revealing close to a hundred bullet-riddled and immolated corpses.

It's surprisingly hard to draw pixel-tuxes, let alone ones made of monkey leather and adorned with silver plates and jewel-encrusted chains. But I'll do my best to accurately represent its majesty.
