[PyroDesu]

Examine everything I can access. I need to determine if the centuries of moldering have left this hunk of Old Tech junk rusty and ready to fall apart if we get involved in a conflict.

Dangit, I haven't respawned yet!

Also, change colors to:

GGG
GBG
GGG

Where G is Green and B is Black.

[Aklyon]

You're returning next turn, Pyro, so that works either way.
I'll change it the next time you die, pyro.

[PyroDesu]

Oh...

Right.

Well... There really isn't all that much to do here while we travel...

So I guess I'll just inspect everything I can for signs of wear from moldering in that cave for so long?

[Aklyon]

Date: January 17th, 2786

As the Disintegratus Theta stutters and flaring is heard from inside the engine room, a town is at last spotted, and it being a fairly small one, MoM decides to indeed activate the AGL.

Activate AGL (y/n)?
>y
Opening Launcher Doors....
Cannot open fully, firing sequence halted.
Error code: D00-R.

Ehndras, having studied the artifactish object but frustrated by the lack of working weapon to parley with, flings it up at the doors, and with the again failing power supply due to a severe lack of fuel, the field holding the launcher in place arcs off it and blasts into the opening between the doors, making them vibrate a bit and have a substatial pile of rust come flaking down from the doors, the artifact landing in it with a pwoffing nose. he now knows its certainly at least partially metallic, and that rust piles have a pwoff noise when stuff lands in them. PyroDesu (or so he's saying, everyone else is pretty sure its just squeakyreaper going crazy), having been inspecting that side of the Old Tech hulk, stands up and asks who dumped rust all over him, and what 'this rock' the artifact-like is in the town for.

Stabby's pixel has returned, I'll place him where ever your first actions sets you at. hachnslay's is stuck inside the incomplete spawner of his, but can still talk through it. Suggest more things!

Console Report:
Leader Missing. Engine access denied until error is corrected.
Acid Globule Launcher: On/Err. Launcher door malfunction. Firing authorization confirmed.
Radar and Targeting systems malfunctioning. Access Denied.
Communications system error. Orders unknown, Sir/Madam.

Food production: 12 food. (Eating 10 next turn)

Possible systems to shut down to reduce cost: Lighting, Ammo Containment Field, Launcher System (Warning: Main Launcher catchplatform is missing/destroyed. Damage to system 95% likely on system shutdown due to fall height. Launcher arming component safe, unless Ammo Containment Field is shutdown.)

'This rock' the possible artifact. It is splattered with rust flakes and has an engraving of a scorch mark. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. 

Spoiler: PyroDesu's findings (click to show/hide)

Rust flakes are rust-colored.
The engine does not sound very happy to be dealing with minimal fuel.
There is a button marked 'Engine Overlord button. Push if Ragnarok or other minor world problems arise.' It has a rusted shut, but partially unwelded cover, and is seen behind the glasslike portion of the cover to be green tetracontadihedral with a smiling nordic battle axe engraved on it. The unwelded portion has an extremely faded shade of red splattered around it, which comes off as easily as dust.
The containment field is extremely painful to touch for more than a glancing moment, possibly useful as an emergency defense weapon of death and pain if touched to something for extended periods. Recommended to not be touched by anyone else.
There does not seem to be a ramp.
He is not the Leader it is looking for either.
There was a potato lodged in the ladder.
Engine room has no obvious entrances besides the locked and sealed one next to the console.
The farm is rather vulnerable to fire as it is right now.
Plenty of room to expand without increasng the size of the town.

Spoiler: Repairs/Knowledge needed (click to show/hide)

Reconstruct Spawner spawn locations and set back up x3 - 3 metal each, 2 days/3 people each.
Acid globule synthesis - Needed before ammo is depleted.
Radar - Somekind of repair (no one knows what yet)
Automatic Targeting System - Somekind of repair (no one knows what yet)
Communications - Requires reprogramming to fit with modern kinds of communications. (Very hard currently)

[The Merchant Of Menace]

I am going to initiate communications with the town, possibly by waving at them.

[Aklyon]

I am going to initiate communications with the town, possibly by waving at them.

Waving at them in a parleying way, a befriending kind of wave, or just waving at them to come over here?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

I suppose it'll be a friendly sort of wave.

[PyroDesu]

So the rust is rust colored... Who'da thunk it?

"Oi! No need to be tossing this stuff around! Now that I know this place won't collapse on us the next time somebody tosses a rock inside it, I'm going to get busy with something I might actually be able to do!"

Attempt to open the engine doors by tossing an acid glob at it. The containment field should protect my hands, face, and other bits of me from melting.

Screw that, I'm not touching that field again. I will use all of the tools at our disposal to drill a hole in the wall, eventually cutting it open.

Or try my hand at hacking that console (Not randomly typing, brute force hacking, trying every single combination for the password, if there is one) to give myself access.

[Ehndras]

Hmm. Poke the field with the artifact, then wave it over other part of the habitat. Perhaps it might react with something nearby... Failing that, test it for buttons or possible methods of twisting, pulling, or cycling it like a rubik's cube. If all else fails, sit on the floor in the corner and play catch with it.

[Aklyon]

You want to touch the painful thing again? All the console is looking for is an official Leader certificate or something like that; you just need to forge an official-looking one for Edio's Chief of Engineering status, pretty much.

[Ehndras]

Hmm. I'd figure the damn artifact is a key of some sort, a weapons-release lever, or some such shit. Maybe a targeting mechanism?

Spend the day trying to get the artifact to do something interesting

[Aklyon]

I'd been talking at PyroDesu, touching the field with something might be fine.

[Ehndras]

Hmm. ...Poke the field with the artifact...

*cough*

[Aklyon]

Updating after dinner-ish, though theres not really that much to update with...

Ok, I've officially launched Pixels! now here's the website:

http://www.pixelsgame.org

It includes a main page, forum and chat, we also own the .net extension but that won't work fully until after new years. But yeah I'm really excited about this just wanted to tone it down a bit as I'll be posting this message on every pixels thread so sign up and go nuts, also if you would be so kind as to create a topic on other forums you have an account with to get more visitors coming in that'd hugely appreciated.
