Create a Flux Capacitor out of whatever I can find.

Actually, cancel that, bail and try to keep up outside the van.

Chance of getting shot is less than chance of the van crashing, at this point.

It's already going three hundred and fifty miles per hour, and accelerating exponentially. I really don't think you're going to be able to keep up.

[Rose]

Oh, it's still accelerating?

in that case...

Brace near an open window, be ready to bail if it looks like it's gonna crash.

[TolyK]

Drop 1 C4 right off the back and almost instantly detonate it. Brace self.

[kisame12794]

make iron sword and brace for impact

[Schilcote]

It's in a runaway positive feedback loop. The Ultravan's turbo booster uses applyForce() to add just a little bit to the target entity's vel() every tick (one 66th of a second). What's happened is that the vehicle's speed has gone over the threshold where the feedback loop can't be controlled or stopped without shutting down the booster. The thing about the booster being damaged by shutdown, though, isn't real Gmod Science. It's a Netland-only thing contrived for plot conveniences.

so we could reach terminal velocity and start melting the van?

[FuzzyZergling]

Grab something sturdy and hope we have more Move than the enemy.

Have you read Erfworld? I highly recommend it, one of the best webcomics in my opinion.

[Rose]

So what happens if I keep applying my own force as well?

If we're gonna crash anyway, may as well see how fast this thing will go.

[Schilcote]

I don't think you know what terminal velocity is.

Well don't come crying to me when you get mashed against the sound barrier.

[Rose]

In that case, no change of plan, still be ready to bail before we hit something.

I can carry one person, any volunteers?

[Schilcote]

Someone is neglecting the blatantly obvious solution.

Hint: It's Japa.

EDIT:

Well, actually, I guess the booster is too far gone for that to work. Hmm... I'm trying to come up with a solution too, and I can't think of a very good one. It's either shut down the booster and get nommed by that evil robot, or crash/bail and be smashed.

[Rose]

I'm reasonably sure I can't carry the van, specially with everybody in it, but once I bail, I can still fly, so I can probably avoid going splat, and some of our party have power armor, so they're less likeley to get overly hurt.

still....

Try to slow down the van as much as I can.

[kisame12794]

wait! make a portal to nether grab AI and GTFO.
