I think we oughta avoid blowing anything up right now. So,

> to the outside through the vent, and look around for any recognizable landmarks or buildings

[The Fool]

You shake at the vent. It's solidly built, and riveted in some places, and fused in others. Your glad that you decided not to blow up the ship without checking the vent, but it seems unlikely that you'll be able to force it open by hand. You peer through it anyways. You see a near solid wall of skyscrapers, but some of them are in a state of heavy disrepair. You're probably near the edge of the city from the looks of it, but you don't see any iconic buildings from where you are. That means that you aren't in the south of the city, because it's hard to miss the rotating floating cube in the south.

EDIT: There are lots of things that can cut through the vent, but your hands aren't one of them. You'll probably need some tools, but there are lots of other ways to get out.

[Armok]

serch

[Trapezohedron]

See if you can fashion some Semtex or Plastic Explosive or whatever that you can detonate at will, with what you have, and start crafting some if you have the materials.

Assuming that you have the remote explosives, and some kind of remote detonator, start laying them in tactical places in the service tunnels, and prepare for escape.

Otherwise, consider using that idea for later.

[Phantom of The Library]

Possibly consider breaking and aiming one of the plasma pipes at the duct, if the plasma is hot enough to melt most metals.

[The Fool]

You look around yourself for anything you can use, but unfortunately you don't see anything. Even the pipes don't go near the vent so melting them with plasma isn't an option. On the plus side this section of tunnel isn't likely to blow up from a plasma fire.

You probably could shoot at the missile with the railgun to blow the vent, which would work, but chances are that wouldn't cripple the ship. You'd need the right tools if you want to make a timer for the explosive.

[Trapezohedron]

Look for Maintenance and Storage rooms, and see if you can find enough tools to make remote explosives. Hurry up, or else, you might fry from the approaching service tunnel shocks.

[The Fool]

The mysterious high voltage room is about the only nearby room. You crawl you way through the tunnel and peer through the grate leading into the room. As far as you can tell from here it's safe to enter. You push out the grate, and after a quick pop of the screws bursting the grate gave way. You place it off to the side.

Looking around you can tell that you're in an engine room. The humming is from the energy flowing into the plasma coils, which are encased in a thin metal shield. If it weren't for all the metal covering the plasma coils this would be a death trap waiting to happen. All of the pipes that disappeared in the tunnels turned up in this room, which probably means this is the only engine. There is a broken maintenance droid in the corner next to the grate. It seems to be holding a metal soldering tool. Over the hum of electricity you can hear the sound of footsteps coming closer. A voice comes from around the corner, but it's still distant "One last room before we evac the ship for the purge. Give us 5 minutes to get the hell out." A static-y voice replied, "Roger that."

[The Fool]

I'm back, and I brought pictures. I'll try running this as an illustrated suggestion game. If nothing else it'll get me practice drawing environments faster. Oh, and the hammerspace is now in place. Feel free to pick up some items.

[mcclay]

Alright, here's the plan, shoot the people and leave all of our missles nesx to the most damaging thing in the engine room. Then grab the soldering tool and cut our way out. The idea is that the people freak out and electrfiy the missles causing the ship to kaboom and for us to escape via soldering the vent.

[adwarf]

No take the missile Launcher, and one missile while leaving the other one laying down on the ground. Afterwards cut ourselves an exit, and then jump backwards whilst shooting the rocket into the ship to explode, and blow up the other missile.

[The Fool]

You'll grab the soldering tool in a second, but first there are some people outside looking for you. You quickly pull the corner with the railgun pressed into your 'bicep'. The two soldiers jump in surprise, and raise their railguns to their shoulders. With a swift trigger pull you floor the first person as the miniscule pellet of a bullet tears a basketball shaped hole in his chest. Blood pools at your feet as you fire a second shot before the second soldier can even blink. His head is removed in a bloody arch sending it down the hall while the body falls into a the pool of blood at your feet. Blood flicks at your leg. A red light rotates in the hall, and metal shutters cut the hallway in half leaving the decapitated head on the other side of the iron curtain.



There are now bodies on the ground in front of you and you are cut off from the main part of the ship. You have explosives, and a way to escape. What do you want to do?

The enemies rolled ridiculously badly, so they couldn't even react. While there are plans to blow this up already I need a tie-breaker.

[Trapezohedron]

Access the terminal thing to your (character's perspective) left, and glean for info. You're practically the robotic equivalent of an amnesiac, so getting info should be important to you.

Lay a single missile next to the plasma pipes, if you can identify which pipe contains which.

Attempt to reconfigure your radio to allow the remote explosion of... explosive objects. (Warning: Bad Idea, since we might lose our source of communication.)

Also, loot the bodies for railgun ammo and other goodies.

[Phantom of The Library]

access the terminal before anything else.

[The Fool]

You loot the ammo and batteries off the two dead bodies, wait... Oooh! 2 Grenades. You pocket the two grenades, filling your hammerspace inventory for now. Your hands are still free, so you can still grab things, but you can't store them for later. You glance at the terminal to the left.



You tap at the screen in an attempt to bring up a keyboard or something. The words 'System Lockdown' are scrolling on top of the monitor preventing you from accessing anything. Thankfully information about the ship is still available. Not a lot seems relevant, but you do see two things. First, there is a location stated on the monitor, James Wall Shipyard Docks. Second there seems to be a timer labeled emergency purge. 1:30... 1:29... 1:28... Great. At least you know where you are now.

Well... damn. What now?

There will be an epic chapter ender soon with about 5 images, so it may be a day or two before we fully escape the shipyard. I'll try and keep up with the minor updates like I have been.

Oh right, any comments or criticisms on my drawings/drawing style would be nice.
