Turn 11
OK... I
somehow managed to do the writing for this four separate times and then delete it every single time - no lies, I think this computer became possessed and a reminder to all if you could contribute any artwork that would be usable in-game such as weapons, habitats, static buildings or whatever I'd be a very happy person. I'll probs try to fall into a pattern of updating once per day in the evening, also has anyone spotted any of the easter eggs I've hidden?
Date: 19th January 2786 8 PM
As the shuttle habitat goes enters Machu Pichu the massive blast doors slam shut in front of Hope, after several hours of awkward waiting Ehndras and Sayaks figure it'd be a good idea to check out the aircraft hangar with the
Jenny Haniver, as they do however an angry pixel starts shouting at them from what appears to be the rear observation point
"
Return to your habitat now or I'll be forced to fire, this area requires level 2 clearance, somebody will let you in soon"
You decide it's probably a good idea to return, what probably
wasn't such a good idea was for Ehndras to immediately after having raised the security level to decide to swap a pistol and 2 coins for a rifle, as a result of this the wheels of habitat hope have been clamped and a guard has been assigned to Ehndras, apparently the clamps will be taken of when you leave and the keys for them are currently being stored in the bridge
Kirby and Pyrodesu have a slightly better day and after Pyro mentions he's part of Hope's research and development team to an engineer they are offered a tour of the engine room "
We've tuned her pretty damn close to perfection you know, it's a magnificent beast but completely unbreakable! You see there's a fail-safe mechanism which causes the engine to go through a 24 hour restart procedure when one mis-aligns the controls, the only downside to this is the power for all systems turns of during this time, only happened once mind and that was twenty years ago!"
Looking up you can see the fuel injectors, you reckon maybe half a dozen well placed shots there could physically disable the engine, you also notice the fuel appears to be burning steadily and efficiently but also at a very slow rate, below you can see a long range scanner, escaping might be hard although Pyro makes sure to ask them about it (mineral scanner research 25% done)
Bunny heads to the governors room however it appears Areyoua is already there, instead he heads to the communal area where Sayaks and Adwarf (who seems to have acquired a fancy red feather hat) are, apparently they were asking residents about security or something though they seem more intent on getting down on the dance floor. It's only 8 o'clock but already Bunny has taken over the DJ decks, definitely going to be a hangover for the three of you in the morning.
Geen however takes his security scouting a bit more seriously and finds the following information:
Each of the areas requiring security clearance have a green camera lens above them and a guard stationed outside, these doors can only be opened from the inside (only the governor and his two wives can open them from the outside), you could coerce people into letting you in though for some areas that may be difficult
The engine room is responsible for fuel distribution, keeping everything in running order and dismantling captured habitats, it has a level 1 clearance requirement (level 2 or 3 whilst an enemy habitat is being dismantled)
The bridge is just there as an observation point and a place for important people to do important things, is has a level 2 clearance requirement
The aircraft hangar contains the aircraft and rear observation point as well as a few guns, it requires a level 2 clearance
Finally the heart of Machu Pichu's operations is directly above the bridge, all instructions go here where the computers control everything from guns to life support systems to movement, t requires a level 3 clearance
You look around for systems which could be sabotaged, the only freely accessible guns are the anti-air turret on the top deck and the one that is accessible through the storage area
Areyoua walks into the governors suite who begins talking
"
Hmm, good work on escorting that shuttle, you know we could use a little muscle in the field. It's all very well having big guns here but what I really want, what Machu Pichu needs is to have men like yourself in the field. Tell you what, if you have anything such scarcium to trade I'm sure in return we could outfit your habitat with the weaponry you'd require for working with us, how does that sound then? A military shuttle? If you agree your first assignment leaves in 7 days time to clear out some of the bandits west of here - where you came from."
You mention you have a piece of raw scarcium in holding as well as several spawners and the governor snaps his neck twists to face you once more "
That's the other thing, don't tell them about the spawners or I'll rip your bloody tongue out and kill you, letting them see is fine just don't explain what they are, so do we have a deal?"
The others help out with investigating Machu Pichu, talk a bit about what they should do and generally mill around
Tensions between the residents of Hope continue to rise, it's becoming a serious risk that one of the pixels may kill another and/or destroy the others spawner in an uncontrolled fit of rage if they do not learn to co-operate soon ((proposed system in player list))
