inside you find a Vietnamese energy drink and a Chinese magazine.

Its definitely some sort of electronic device, sometimes its covered in buttons, sometimes just circuits, the problem is it keeps shifting and changing.

While the pc sits there and beeps you decide to check the door. finding it locked, which came as no surprise you decide to use you're Drivers license to try and jimmy the lock.

unfortunately it seems the door, like the posters is a panel type feature actually sunk into the wall, with only the handle sticking out from the wall. as such there is no gap to thread the card into.

However whilst youre inspecting the door you discover what feels like a small gap running down the middle of the door, about half a centimetre big.

while over here you decide to poke around at the poster a bit, you find that while it's the same as the other one, a panel in the wall, this one is slightly loose and moves a little when you touch it.

on the way back you take a look at the signs stuck to the outside of the cells, if thats what they are, youre cell, the far left one has a extremley crude drawing of you posted to it, the middle cell has what you think may be a fox, or some sort of skunk? youre not sure.

"Ich habe sehr dout Sie könnten controll dieser vessal nehmen, Alvari Technologie so vorgeschoben sogar meine Spezies kann nicht ganz verstehen wie es funktioniert, so haben Sie keine Chance. Plus setzen einen Notruf wäre eine sehr schlechte Idee, Alvari Schiffe und die Technologie in ihnen sind dangerus genug, um als illegal angesehen werden, so dass jede Behörde, wir werden uns contect blasen aus dem Himmel eher dann nahe zu kommen, plus konnten wir Piraten anzulocken, und geben hyper fortschrittliche Technologie, um solche Maniacs ist das letzte, was ich tun möchte, "

"Jeder Weg, im gehend zu gehen erkunden Sie den Rest dieses Schiff zu sehen, was ich finden kann, bleiben Sie bitte hier, wenn ich Hunger bekommen ich möchte Sie waren kann ich leicht erreichen können, sind diese Orte sehr schwierig sein, durch Beute zu verfolgen. Ach ja, und im Einklang diesen Kopfbedeckungen "

The thing turns away and walks of pausing to stare at the mass of mold and utter a quick "Oh das ist nicht gut" before walking away into the darkness.

Knowing as you do that a Classy gent allways rummages through the clothes last, you head to the boxes and root around.
what you find is both welcome and disheartening, as per the items in youre room it seems the makers of this simulation decided to run a one word google search instead of actually put any effort into it, as such the boxes are filled with stereotypical material that no doubt has little reference to amy's actual life.

in box number one you find a collection of very badly made american flags, macdonalds boxes (a quick inspection reveals they each have a burger still in its wrapper) and some apparently Christian license plates.
box two fairs little better, with a beer stein, accordion, some presumably german sausage and some sort of bread covered stuff.

the final two boxes are just full of vaguely Jewish items and symbols, with no real attention payed to detail, meaning or authenticity. frankly you really hope this place is malfunctioning, otherwise youve been captured by a lazy moron.

While you wait for amy to recover from exposure to a nearly full Classy gent bar (And youre considerable Swag) you transfer as much of the food as you can into the bag you found, doing so with youre characteristic care and attention.
you also make sure to stuff the shirt in there too, along with a few other items from the pile.

recovering from her swag overdose, amy shows you what she's been gathering while you were searching the boxes. it seems that When the ship built this room it replaced all her tools with versions covered in that odd circuitry youve seen in the walls and floor, and she's only been able to realy get a good look at them now. She says touching the glowing bands dosent seem to have a effect, and theres a strange vibration coming from them, like they have machinery whirring away inside them.

she also has Duct tape, people Always need Duct tape.
And bullets for her worryingly powerfully looking Gun, but you dont want to mention those in case she gets it out again..

You cut up one of the boxes to make sure the Stanley knife isnt some sort of mini lightsaber, but to youre disappointment its just a knife, seemed to cut that cardboard realy smoothly though, didnt offer much resistance at all.. hmm...

So the tools are now supertools.

I assume this means the knife and pliers are really sharp, the screwdriver lets you tighten or loosen screws so tight it would normally take a power tool to budge, and that the hammer does direct force multiplication (ie, gentle swing equals big smash).

Test the remaining tools so we know what they're capable of, just to be sure.

Hell yeah! Time for SCIENCE!
The Duct tape is perfectly normal, with no alterations what so ever, but youve never been one to waste potential experiments, so you duct tape the desk to the ceiling. Fun times.

The hammer is very interesting, as it seems to increase its mass the harder its swung, nothing major mind you, but it dose allow Naoko to go cave-woman on the cupboard and release some steam, and by some you mean a worrying amount..

The clippers are a little stranger, they cut things well enough, but each time you cut something the blades glow for a moment before going back to normal, youre not sure what thats for yet..

The screwdriver turns by itself.
thats it.
massively disappointing compared to smashy hammer fun times.

No offense ladies, but you must never have had to do any home improvement projects. Using a power drill with a screw bit is way better than having to do everything with a hand-screwdriver. The only drawback is you can't really fit a power drill everywhere you want it to. It can be bulky, and inconvenient. But right there, you've got a power screwdriver in the handy compact size of a hand screwdriver! That's hella convenient.

...granted, the cutting and super smashing tools are more likely to be useful in getting access to stuff on the ship. Or in any combat you might see. But still! That's a screwdriver I'd like to have.

The items that had been cut match up perfectly, with only small errors from the actual cutting, you do notice however that the blades, despite having been used on metal and glass, dont have any chips or bent areas, Amy thinks that the glowing may be some form of self repair system.

Youre not sure what use these tols will be on the ship, but youre almost certain that when you get home they will make you a metric shit ton of money.

You check on youre knife quickly, inspecting it for any of the same circuit things, but it seems the same as its always been. Amy dose the same for her Tool belt and gun, both are normal, it may be that the items you had on you when you were snatched haven't been tampered with.

It looks like these things got into one hell of a fight, neither of them survived.

the tentacle thing is some sort of robot, it dosent seem to have any mechanism for keeping it upright however, so it may use those tentacle's for movment, also you dont find anything on it that resembles a weapon, so it maybe some sort of manipulation device, maybe it was tacking this thing to the cells when it fought back?

The alien is Extremley odd, lying in a dried pool of what is probably its blood, a odd mat blue fluid, that seems more like paint then blood. its structure is very odd, bieng a sort of tripod thing, with four eyes, three arms and three legs, each in different directions, its mouth is on the top of its head, and it has some Horrific looking teeth.

The room is Vast, easily several miles high, with the centre being dominated by three Massive collums that stretch to the ceiling. that strange circuitry forms a simple pattern on them, and pulses slowly with bright white light in time to a deep bass note.

the walls of the room are covered in huge blank blocks, each easily the size of a small apartment complex.

Amy says it looks like the door is built to open only if all the indents are filled, most likely to stop any abduct'es from wandering in there, which, given the lax security so far, seems to indicate that what ever is in there is Very important.

Its probably best to leave the body parts were they are for now, you dont want to alert what ever did this that your here just yet.

The floor has four circular indentation's, one of wich holds a large, elephant like leg. a quick examination reveals that like the body parts back in naoko's cell, these are soft and supple, but oddly lacking in fluids.

Assuming that this is set up for a single alien, they must have been huge great things, with at least eight limbs. the images this conjures in the minds of both amy and naoko are far from comforting.

The evidence so far suggests giant space spiders, three words you really don't want to see together, amy nervously checks the cealing, but its so big and so far away that you could hide a army of giant spider things up there and not spot them.

Fortunately for her, before she can humiliate herself the doors slide open onto a far more relaxing scene, it looks for all the world like a small restaurant, but with really odd chairs. There's a strange smell to the air, it reminds Naoko of swimming pools for some reason.

The smell of chlorine is faint, but amy thinks it would be best to have cloth on hand to use as a face mask, she asks Naoko to get some suitable items from the bag (that she has totally had on her all this time and i have not compleatley forgotten to draw until now...).

she decides to wait for a suitable moment to tell her they may have to pee on them, although she cant really imagine what such a moment would be like, at the very least wait until they've found a suitable, private room for such things.

Naoko gains a tea towel. Amy gains a knee length sock.

Cloth items suitably distributed and firearms drawn, the pair venture into the room. While Naoko would a appreciate a rest, she's not entirely sure how she would comfortably sit on these chairs, if they are chairs, they feel soft, but the spike in the middle raise uncomfortable questions.

As they cautiously approach the dark bar, small lights in the ceiling flicker into life, illuminating a small room with a single large shelf at the rear.
The shelves seem to have been ransacked, but they can still see the remains of several bottles, tins and what seems to be old, semi rotted fruit of unknown species.

Carefully peeking over the bar, Naoko finds several stained cloth sheet's piled into a haphazard bed. the smell of chlorine definitely seems to be coming from them, but other then that they seem normal.

Amy is not sure if the fact that something has evidently been sleeping here is a sign that this part of the ship is safe, or whether the rooms occupant was recently snatched after evading capture.

While Naoko clammbers over the bar, amy decides to take stock of what they have found so far, as well as run up a small map in her head, just to keep track of things.

so far they have found a giant lizardy thing, wich for ease of reference she decides to call Half-head from now on, one bag, a pile of food, some enhanced tools, 30 .50 calibre magnum rounds, two working robots, a extremely pissed off crab thing and evidence of at least one giant space spider.

oh, and one tree.
And naoko, although technically she found amy..


Naoko's rummaging reveals several curious items, the first is some sort of stuffed toy that looks like a squid humping a spider, the next is a can of fosters larger that looks like something has been chewing on it, there's also another one of those odd shaped bottles, some small bits of shaped glass and what seems to be a alien magazine of some sort.

Excellent! We've learned they reproduce by conventional sexual mechanisms- mechanisms you readily recognized. That's something.

After helping naoko into one of the chair things, amy manages to get the aliens attention after some light poking.

using one of her many pens, amy sketches out several different depictions of water, she wants to be damn sure it gets the message and doesn't think she wants it to show her were the ammonia is kept.

interestingly its only when she draws the geyser that it twigs what she's trying to get across, although this may be down simply to it being totally smashed, either way it leads amy to one the rooms next to the lift and gestures inside.

when she enters the room amy see a large whits structure with several oddly positioned holes tacking up one of the walls, she hazards a guess that its a toilet of some sort. in the middle of the room is a large platform with a single button who's purpose is not imidiatley apparent.
and in the corner to her left is a very old, dessicated corpse.

she files that under "Freak the fuck out about later"

Amy inspects the central pillar thing, its totally feature less apart from a single button near the top, with a smooth flat top.

deciding to throw caution to the wind somewhat, amy presses the button, with a quiet hum a stream of clear liquid falls from the top of the device, forming a large free floating ball about three foot above the bottom platform, were it hangs slowly rotating.

The realisation that she has found some form of Anti-gravity sink causes amy to have a now familiar reaction.

Lacking equipment and massive funding, Amy is forced to fall back on the simplest form of scientific inquiry.

Poke it.
Sniff it.
Cup it.
Lick it.

Tasteless, normal ph for water neither acidic or alkaline, no burning sensations on either tongue or fingers, fur seems unaffected other then being wet of course.
finaly it seems that the anti-gravity affect only extends over the base of the pillar, so if you want to carry some youll need to find a bottle, still this is good enough for Naoko to clean up.

Amy calls Naoko into the bathroom, at least thats what she's assuming it is.

Naoko walks in, pausing briefly to take in the body in the corner. "Yeah, that freaked me out too, but right now making sure your ok is more important."

After Amy points out the floating water ball, which Naoko has to admit is pretty cool, naoko takes a big gulp, then blows some of the water out through her nose into the odd looking toilet thing, a totaly gross action that cleans the gunk out of her nasal cavity as well as a good amount of blood, as she coughs and splutters the alien walks in.

gesturing to the water the alien speaks. "Pasis, vashos, Vaaaa shooos"

Pasis is more important than Vashos. Pasis lets him tell you what things are. And you can use it vice versa. So not "Vashus Water" instead say "Pasis 'water'". Now we need him to ask what something is, so that you can ask him what stuff is in his language.

Making head way, amy decides to start asking the names of varius things, starting with the alien itself

Amy: Pasis Amy, Aaaamy
???:ugh no, your to drunk for this, you need to get sober
The alien unsteadily leans across the basin to cover amy's mouth whilst making a shushing noise
Naoko: Hey!

Swaying side to side, it takes one of the small crystals from its pocket and swallows it, standing silently for a moment before clutching its head and screaming, it then doubles over vomiting up a small puddle of foul smelling black liquid.

before either amy or naoko can react to this alarming devlopment, the alien straightens up, all swaying motions gone, its previously unfocused eyes suddenly sharp and eager, Grinning at the pair, it gives them a odd hand gesture and waits for them to continue

???: Instant sobriety, gotta love technology.. keep grinning, dont let them know how much that hurt, they may eat the wounded...

They might be in some kind of alien symbiotic relationship. The one has long appendages on its head that could be ears or antenna, so possibly it evolved alongside the other to keep a keen lookout while the others uh... fight off enemies? Oh perhaps the large one is the male and the smaller the female. You better watch out for the big one he seems pretty tough, though they're both kind of tiny.

I'm not sure about eating the injured but the one with the long ears does look like the kind to cannibalize its own young, which is totally crazy from a species survival stand point, so you may want to be careful with that one, who knows what other crazy things it could be capable of.

Korrok: While a translator would be useful, you wouldn't want to have to carry the thing all over the ship by your self, of course if you had access to the advanced tech the rich asshole's back home snap up it would be a different story. hmm wait a minuet, if this thing has been going around snatching people for a while then it just might have some lying around with the rest of the stuff the robots took from you. you just need to get that across to the aliens.

after some confused arm flailing you manage to get the large alien to give you its drawing device, some quick sketches on the wall later and youve produced a extremely simple picture showing you getting tacken, the robot's putting you in the bottom of the ship and tacking the items to the second floor.

As the lift descends Amy and Naoko ready their weapons. Amy un-holsters her Giant Gun and Naoko ready's both the advanced hammer and her Sweet knife. Korrok gets down on all fou... all six's and tenses his body, a site which raises some eybrows from the girls.

Quickly tacking advantage of the situation, Korrok fall's onto all sixes, tenses up, then Flings himself head first into one of the robots restraining the crab, crumpling the metal and slamming it into the floor with a loud crash.

The crab creature seems to realise whats going on, and starts to tharsh and bite at the tentacles of the second robot, making a loud chattering noise while it dose so.

Rearing back, Korrok slams his head onto the floored robot, crushing its casing with a loud crash. freed, the crab starts to bite and gnaw on the tentacles of the other robot.

Taking aim, Amy obliterates the second robot with a single shot, the retort roaring like thunder. strangely the robot remains aloft, held up by the other arm cluster that came loose with the impact.

Guessing that knives would have little effect on the machines, Naoko leads with the knife hand, distracting the robot so that she can strike with the hammer. Naoko puts her all into the strike, and is rewarded with the satisfying Crunch of imploding metal.

Amy waits for them to clear her line of fire, but it seems the other robot has folded away its tentacles and is just sitting there.

Whilst waiting for the others to recover from their science induced shock so they can head out, Naoko decides to get a closer look at the Crab thing. she folds away her Sweet Knife but keeps it in her hand, just in case.

This close it's easier to see that it isnt so much crab like, but more like a maggot with crab legs. It dosent seem to mind Naoko getting closer, so she kneels down and starts talking gently.

The room before them is a wreck, dried blood covers everything and Body parts are strewn randomly all over the room. the same fungus from the cells has broken through the ceiling and floor, growing over the glass cells that line the walls, and seems to be far more active in the biting cold, Slowly swaying and pulsing.

In the far corner a very large robot seems to be examining a corpse, turning the limbs about as if its trying to put it back together, it dosent seem to have noticed the group entering. instead of tentacles it has several long, thin limbs that end in large claw like hands and like everything in the room its filthy, covered with gore from top to bottom.

As the group moves forward they take stock of what they can see.
Glancing upward amy notices what seems to be a air vent covered in webbing, she isnt certain, but it looked like something ducked back quickly as she looked up. She dosent know whether to mention this to naoko, as she freaked out pretty badly at just the hint of giant spiders before and she needs to remain calm in this potentially dangerous situation.. although it did feel rather thrilling to get Literally swept off her feet, something she had given up on several years (and several pounds) ago.

Pt 2 [[[colour pencils woo!]]]

Naoko is more concerned with the robot, even though it seems to be ignoring them for now.
it is several times larger then any of the other robots's and its limbs seem to be far more dexterous then the tente-bots, she wishes she could see what its doing to the body, but it has turned its back on them, however judging from the strange pixelation its generating its probably teleporting stuff into or onto the corpse.

Naoko Hghly douts that such meddling would lead to anything good, her imagination starts buzzing with visions of Robot zombies, Carnivorous machines and warm, snuggly taiNo god damn it concentrate! into the corner with you!

pt3 [[[further experiments with colour]]]

Korrok follows close behind the pair, glancing around nervously. He's particularly worried about the strange fungus growth, if he didnt know any better he'd swear it was watching them.

He stops as the male gestures ahead of them, toward what looks a figure lying in some sort of functional stasis pod. its seems to be some distance away, but he cant tell for sure, distance and perspective in this ship seem oddly fluid.

The gruop starts moving towards the figure, eager to both rescue another captive and gather more aid in exploring the ship.

[[[yet more color, getting better]]]

After a short, cautious walk the group arrives at the operating pod, stopping a few feet away from the fungal growth outside it's glass cell.

Amy makes sure to keep the robot in her line of fire as much as she can, although while she dosent know what effect, if any, her bullets will have, the way they neatly destroyed that previous smaller bot makes her slightly optimistic about her chances, should it come to a fight.

Kneeling, Naoko gives the fungus a quick once over visually. it seems to be pulsing slowly, like its breathing or something. She isnt a expert on plants, but it dosent look like any mushroom she's ever seen, it looks... meaty..

Turning to the glass chamber, they peer inside, trying to get a good view of the figure on the table-pod thing. What they see isn't very heartening, the figure seems to be a male sheep, roughly in his twenties sleeping soundly. his rib cage has been opened exposing his organs and it seems like his lungs are missing.
the trachea seems to be connected to two small devices of unknown purpose, the blue shield makes closer observation impossible.

Amy: Oh god, its a autopsy room..
Naoko: Actually i think its more of a surgery situation, he seems to be alive and id say he isn't in pain or panicking, other then the whole front of his chest being gone id say he was fine. *she counts under her breath briefly* yeah, heart rate seems normal, id say he's under some form of antithetic.
Amy:Wait, your a doctor? If we break in there could you fix him? like, sew the wound up or something?
Naoko: Im a Paramedic actually, and even if i had a full hospital at hand i doubt i could do anything for that guy, his entire sternum is gone, and while its flattering that you hold the medical profession in such high regard, the doctor who fix's that on his own could start a cult.


Amy looks around "Well can we get in their at least, see if we can move the pod somewhere safer? i really don't want to leave the guy here with all this...'she gestures around' Stuff.."

Pt1
Naoko: Ok, we'll leave this guy alone for now and concentrate on getting out of this room. i really don't want to risk touching this fungal stuff, so i think we should go round to those cells on the other side and smash a path through. maybe bring that other alien in the cells along with us.

Amy: id rather not leave this guy alone here, but maybe well find some sort of tech here to fix him or something..

Naoko: Yeah, maybe.

The group cautiously walks around the large patch of fungus, trying to keep as far away from the Robot as possible as the head for the other cells.

The party reaches the other cells without attracting unwanted attention, the robot still busying itself with the body.
when they get there Korrok starts tapping on the glass, apparently trying to get the large aliens attention while naoko prepares to break the glass.

turning to cover the robot, amy finally gets a good luck at what the robot has been doing, amazingly it seems to actually be helping the guy, having re-connected his limbs and apparently brought him back to life, it now seems to be working on his spine and arm.

After reattaching the cats arm, the robot lifts him of the ground and floats over to a empty cell that Amy is almost certain wasn't there a moment ago. Moving up too the glass wall the robot simply floats through it like it wasnt there at all, while a table pod assembles itself in the middle of the cell. as it dose so, the blood covering it simply vanishes, leaving it clean and sparkling.

The robot lays the man down on the table face first, placing a large machine on his back and a strange spindly thing on his head, before holding out its claw and generating a blue field like the one covering the sheep that slowly envelops the cat.

Amy: That must be the main nurse drone or something, it looks like its trying to fix that guy.
Naoko: Yeah, nice to find one that's actually on our side for once. rather then trying to kill us.
Amy: Actually.. were the other robots trying to kill us? so far all we've seen them do is restrain things..
Naoko: What about that thing in the lift? it looked like one ripped it apart!
Amy: Well, yeah.. other then that i mean..
>>
No. 463360 ID: bf54a8

upon examination, there was a destroyed robot and the ripped apart thing. it may of went berserk and ripped itself apart with fighting. just pulled so hard that it popped it's leg off that the bot was holding and the ripped the bot in half. and then died of blood loss because it couldn't operate the lift.

Hmm. It looks like the robot mostly reassembled him but left the altered body part still in the open. It looks like we probably won't be able to get it to fix the goat guy as it is.

Amy turns and presents her tool pouches.

Naoko rummages through the pouch for a moment before pulling the improved Stanley knife out, she scratches a semi circle in the glass a few times, then carefully presses down hard, dragging upwards along the scratch.

After Korrok retrieved the crab thing (placing it on his head for some reason) amy decides to try and talk to the large snail like creature, she keeps a few paces back however, just in case it decides to try and grab her.

Amy: Ok, First contact two, contact harder..Do you understand me?
The snail simply sits there unmoving, its arms held up in front of it, like its waiting for something.

Amy: sprechen Sie Deutsch?
no response, it simply sits there, the pits on its shell seeming to give it a expression of cross-eyed bemusement.

Amy: האם אתה מבין אותי? אתה יכול גם לשמוע אותי?

Ah, it communicates with shape and colour, like a Cephalopod. It's got a shell, so let's call it a Nautiloid.

The robot seems dedicated to fixing things and beings. It (presumably) provided the Sheep with lungs, the Nautiloid with a prosthetic psuedopod, and the Cat with a spinal column and some miscellaneous bones. However, the cat was in pieces and the robot covered in blood.
It's possible it could provide Amy with a prosthetic arm. It's also possible it might want to take her apart first.

Naoko Turns to the wall, and with a snarl of rage smashes down the glass with a powerful kick that shatters the glass blocking there escape, once the way is cleared the party hurries through in a highly dignified manner.

Naoko: see? this is what im talking about, you want me to risk my life for something playing happy slaps with itsself.

Amy's halting attempts to justify the behaviour is interrupted by a mechanical grinding, as the Nautoloid's shell cracks open into panels, opening to reveal a compact silver machine that activates with a loud whir, projecting circles of flickering pink light above it.

As the snail rights it self Amy briefley considers the possibility of getting her own robot arm. she's never really been comfortable with prosthetics, as by the time her family could afford one she was used to not having a right arm, meaning the new weight just got in the way and tended to end up broken, ether from the stove, getting caught in elevator doors of having its hand chopped off and replaced by a chain saw to make the most Badass Halloween costume ever.

While amy geeks out over the ultra space mollusc, Naoko finds herself thinking about Mr honda, a sort of pet from her childhood.
back then shed always try and spend lunch in the classrooms were it was a little less likely she'd get the shit kicked out of her, allowing her to eat whatever remains of her lunch had survived the mornings encounters. At roughly the same time everyday a small snail would start crawling over the window pane and, as time went by, she started to focus on it, distracting herself by calling it Mr Honda and thinking up stories about its life.
if there was no one around she'd sometimes tell it her problems, imagining it giving her advice and comfort, she isnt sure but she thinks that snail was the only thing that kept her from going off the deep end.

Not wishing to dwell on such memories, Naoko decides to be be responsible and make sure the robot isnt sneaking up on them, she moves over to were korrok is examining the strange scorch marks on the floor and looks out.

the robot seems to have stopped moving, staring at the cell the were just in, and behind it the fungus like growth has withdrawn somewhat in order to bunch up into a odd looking growth in the middle of the room. naoko isnt sure this is a good thing...

The room ahead is a long, straight corridor covered in a layer of frost. close to the door is a alien, it was apparently frozen solid before what ever caused the scorch mark melted the frost along its path. it seems badly decomposed, your glad the ice is still covering it, it dosent look like it would smell pleasant..

next to the alien are the bottoms of two steep curved ramp's, you cant see were they lead from here. along the walls are a series of blank doors, there's nothing to indicate what may be behind them, but the trail seems to ignore them.

you can just see that the end of the corridor opens up into a larger room, but from here you cant make out any more details.

The scorched trail heads to a door in the far end, the melted frost has refrozen into a flat sheet of ice that looks slippy as hell.

[[[UGh i totaly screwed the second panel uo big time -,- also no color today as im ill ]]

Moving carefully, Naoko walks over to the frozen Alien and starts to examine it, being careful not to touch it as she is concerned about the potential of lingering infections.

Naoko: Im no expert, but i think this is the species those severed limbs belonged too, so if we need to get in that door we should be able to hack what we need of this one, that's assuming what ever's been trying to get in dosent come in here after it..
Whats really worrying me however, is that i cant see any wounds on this thing, it looks whole, so was it infected with something?, but if it was why isnt it lying down, or curled up somewhere comfortable?. its like it just suddenly died standing right here..

While Naoko muses to anyone who would listen, Amy walks past her a little way and, after brushing her Magnificent, untameable hair from her eyes squints down at the far wall.

Amy: Im not sure if thats a window or a video, but im almost certain that isnt earth, it looks like its got two moons and i cant see any ice caps. im hoping it is a recording, the alternative is.. not pleasant..

See if you can open any of the doors and look at the circle things above them. Would you be able to fit all of the creature's legs in your bag if you cut them off? If so, get them. Be ready to attack if this is a form of hibernation and it wakes up.

Naoko: If we find a warm room well shove this guy in to defrost, should make cutting it up easier.
Amy: Shouldn't we see if it wakes up? it could be hibernating.
Naoko: ..Uh..Amy, half of it is frozen solid and the other half's skin is falling off, im pretty sure its dead..
Amy: It might be moulting..
Naoko: There are holes in its flesh amy, I can see its bones!.
Amy losses some SCIENCE! from showing her lack of biological knowledge, her SCIENCE! bar resets to normal and shrinks to Genius.

While Amy starts exploring the rooms and korrok and the snail are waving at each other, Naoko start figuring out whether she would be able to safely carry the body parts if they need them.
she doubts touching the rotting flesh would be in anyway healthy, so they have to use the bag she had found, she'd have to cut it up into a smaller part, and theyd have to find another bag to carry the food but...

While Naoko Swears to herself over something, Amy decides to poke her head into one of the rooms, pausing to examine one of the circular lights over the door, its pretty damn bright, the two rows obliterating any shadows. it reminds her of the seasonal affective disorder lights, those things are like mini suns!

The door slides open as she approaches, revealing a room filled with large tubes containing a veriaty of organic matter suspended in a strange orange liquid. the room seems to stretch on further, but she cant see beyond a large central collection of tubes, many filled with a dizzying array of what seem to be organ, she couldn't begin to imagine their function's.

The room is deathly quiet, the organs hanging motionless in the liquid. From a scientific stance, its a fascinating sight, from all other stances its creepy as fuck.

you take control of Amy as she slowly looks around the room, taking in as much as she can see from the door way and searching for anything recognisable.
There's what looks like a giant heart, your not sure you want to know were that came from, some kind of odd crystal structure but other then that its all basicalyHOLY CRAP IS THAT YOUR ARM!?

Its cant be, you lost that thing when you were eight years old! it was smashed beyond use and went into the hospital incinerator, that Cant be it..
ok calm down, think rationally.. its definatley a fox's right arm, ending at the point your stump would join it, but its adult sized not a childs arm.. so, either its one hell of a coincidence OR... this is were they grow parts for surgery!

Amy: Um, yeah.. hey quick question, have any of you guys heard of a planet called Earth?
Korrok: Of course i do, thats my homeworld!

Amy: so you dont know were our homeworld is? crap.. ok theres a window back there, can we at least find out were we are?
Lolumalus: I highly dout its actually window, such openings present a major structural weakness, as my own species has frequently discovered. However depending on the technology it uses, i may be able to use the monitor to access the ships internal camera's, possibly find the history of where this thing has been, scout out any dangers in the ship and make sure theres nothing nasty on the hull, [SAYING:Forewarned is Forearmed].

Moving quickly the party heads down the corridor towards the monitor, as they approach they see that the end of the corridor opens out into a large circular room with two other monitors on the walls, running along the walls are two long featureless grey objects of unknown purpose.

Gigatonnes of high-temperature dust and rubble being strewn through the atmosphere is rather unhealthy to anything living on the surface, so said cratering must have happened quite some time ago. Either Lolumalus has lived for a long time, or s/he (or all of you) have been in suspended animation for quite some time.

[[[Now with 90% more arms! and a oddly gratuitous naoko butt shot...]]]

Amy and korrok continue to stare at the screen Lolumalus floats over to the shorter of the two grey objects, followed closley by Naoko.

Amy: Korrok?
Korrok: Hmm?
Amy: How long have you been here?
Korrok: Its a little hard to tell, time gets a little squiffy here, but id say its about a week.
Amy: I see. excuse but i need to talk to the senator.
Korrok: Kay.

Meanwhile Naoko and Lolumalus have been discussing the grey objects.

Naoko: So what are you thinking, Computers?
Lolumalus: There is definatly active circuitry here, but it dosent seem to be responding to our presence.
Naoko: Maybe you need to be one of the guys who built it?
Lolumalus: Most likley, Biometric security is common enough for low level security, common enough for me to posses a few.. shall we say, extra legal countermeasures?

Lolumalus reaches into his shell and pulls out a small cylindrical device.

Lolumalus: here, this is a portable heater, i need you to defrost that corpse back there and bring me a chunk of the body, it dosent matter from were.
Naoko: uh...kay..

Naoko turn to go and spots amy approaching.

Naoko: apparently i need to go desecrate a body... so.. yeah, you may want to stay here for a while.
Amy: yeah, i need to talk to lolmal for a while any way.
Korrok: ill give you a hand, best if we try and stick together and all that.

Naoko and Korrok move away down the corridor, and amy moves over to stand next to Lolumalus

Amy: When you mentioned the planet being bombed you made it sound like a recent thing.. but theres no dust, not even any real large scale ecological damage...
Lolumalus remains silent
Amy: ..How long have we been here..
Lolumalus: ..Until i get access to a external communications channel i wont know for sure, it could be hours.. or centuries..

Naoko: I cant decide whats stranger, that fact that im standing here defrosting a alien corpse on the orders of a floating snail, or the fackt that i seem to be totally ok with this whole situation..
Korrok: Ive heard of this, its supposed to be a reaction to the shock of first contact, your mind is basically refusing deal with any of this as a way of preventing a massive freak out.

Naoko: Brilliant, i was just thinking i'd like a case of screaming insomnia... Ugh, fuck it, lets get to work.

Naoko moves to the corpse's side and selects the area for removal.

Naoko: Ok, ill try the hand first, it'll give me a good estimate of the muscle strength and bone density.. Fuck i hope this thing is actually dead.. partially because i kinda ripped into amy when she suggested it, but mostly cause if this thing springs up and starts cursing me im going to totally crap myself

As naoko starts her Dissection, we briefly move to Amy as she attempts to prevent existential crisis.

Lolumalus: are you aright?
Amy: Im Ok, i just... i just need to calm down a bit, take my mind of this whole.. שטופּ.. ok. ok.
We found a.. Tower a floor down, Huge, miles long at least. It was locked with some kind of bio-metric device, seemed pretty important so.. im guessing Engine room?
Lolumalus: im afraid i cant tell you, the information is classified.
Amy: Weve already seen damn near all the floors, dont you think classifying it is somewhat redundant?
Lolumalus: Oh its not my choice to tell you, let me explain, as a council member im told all the secrets we know, we then classify them in order of secrecy slash danger and those areas of our brains are isolated, i cannot tell you, because i do not remember. All i can tell you is that the tower you saw was most likely the ships Collapse engine, and before you ask about that let me explain, do you understand the term speed of light?
Amy: i do, i also know it is impossible to travel faster then light.
Lolumalus: indeed, Normally this would render extraterrestrial colonisation impossible, however, this limitation can be avoided by simply shrinking the distance you need to travel, a thousand years can beacome twenty with the right mechanics. That tower is the engine that performs this function, its power source i cannot say, all i know is that in my minds the tower is marked Extreme danger.
Amy: ...wow..that's..wow ok, ok what about that voice that contacted us, could it have been the fungus that's growing everywhere?
Lolumalus: i do not know, when i think about the growths all i see is the Bronze line, and that dosent really translate well into other cultures. all you need to know is that the Bronze Band is used to mark the sites of my species nuclear detonations, it is a symbol of death beyond death, association with it is my species Highest punishment.

As for the tower I guess it isn't the way out after all so not important. We might be able to use it to destroy the fabric of spacetime in the nearby region, to ensure that this ridiculously horrible fungal body doesn't escape alive, but only as a last resort. Even if you could use it safely to move this place to your home world, even if you knew which direction Earth was, you would probably just be dooming everyone on it to evil fungus double death.

So the snail's mind is riddled with internal locks, there's a space crunching warp technology that can defeat the speed of light theory, and the organic fungal growths are hyper radioactive.

Naoko should find a few more alien species fingers/appendages just to raise the chance that one of these entities has had access to the computer's biometrics. I'm not asking for a finger farm but it'd help.

Amy: Wait, Are you telling me that stuff is radioactive!?
Lolumalus: Possibly, unfortunately the mechanisms to detect radioactivity are among the few i do not posses.
Amy: Shit, ok is there a way to unlock the information you stored away? id really like to know for sure whether this stuff is going to give me freaking cancer.
Lolumalus: there are certain stimuli that will unlock the data, however for obvious reasons i wasnt told what they were, when we make something secret we want it to stay secret for as long as possible. If you or the other male have any skill with programing you may be able to trip the release sensations manually, but that's a big May.
Amy: hmmm, well unfortunately programming isnt my area of expertise, all my ph.d's are in particle physics, im not sure about Naoko, but she somehow strikes me as somewhat retro in her...wait Other male?

We leave Amy and Lolumalus as they muddle over the use of multi-gender pronouns to jump to Naoko as she finishes removing the hand and inspects it.

Naoko: hmm, no bones, asymmetrical arteries, outside frozen but the inside is almost fresh.. Man i hope i can find a medical encyclopaedia on this ship, there must be so much to learn from this hand alone.
Korrok: The frozen thing is down to the heating system they have here, i dont know how it works but it heats you inside out, hence the fact we arnet freezing to death right now, Anyway lets take this back. we should probably keep a eye out for other bodies, just in case theres a door only a certain rank could open or some such.
Naoko: good idea, plus ive no idea how long these things last after you cut them open, so spares would be useful.

Carefully, Naoko and Korrok proceed back to the circular room.

Naoko: Here you go, one hand, freshly cut.
Lolumalus: Ah excellent, now id appreciate it if you didnt tell anyone about this, as this technology is somewhat.. shall we say, Extra legal?

Taking the hand, Lolumalus quickly shoves it into a opening in one of the grey boxes in his shell, as the box shut's symbols light up on the surface and there is a faint grinding noise.

Amy: We met another Escape on the lower floor that spoke one of our planets languages for some reason, it filled us in on a few details but left before we could question it more. it was a big green lizard like thing that walked on all fours, and it had half its head missing but if it had symmetrical features it would have had six eyes.
It kinda threatened to eat us then just.. sort of wandered off..

Korrok: Really regretting my choice to sober up now..
Lolumalus: This is..unwelcome news, i can explaine but a brief history lesson is in order.
Long story short, they were a race of total [DEROGATIVE GENITAL TERMINOLOGY] that ruined everything for everyone, long story..long they are a ancient race that dominated most of the galaxy approximately fifty million years ago, they mastered technology that seems impossible even today, anti-gravity, time travel, pocket universes, they bent the laws of physics at whim and forced their civilization on all they met, any native technology was replaced with theirs, and all attempts to study its mechanism were met with violent oppression.
Fortunately for us, they were a naturally violent and clannish species and they eventually turned on themselves, unleashing their technology's in a brutal civil war that obliterated whole star systems. once they raged themselves into extinction a long dark silence fell over the galaxy, broken only by the pirate kingdoms that sprang up in their wake to prey on the now helpless worlds.
It wasn't until the four most advanced species finally stopped trying to kill each other and formed the Council that civilization really managed to get started agin, and for the last eight hundred thousand years they've been in charge.
The life form you encountered fits the description of a Aius, one of the Great Four. the Aius are... well here.

A small hologram picture pops up in front of lolmalus, showing a black and white drawing.

Lolumalus: This is a political cartoon we normally show to new council members that sums the situation up nicley, most mistake it for racist propaganda until they actually meet a Aius. They are a race of sociopaths that constantly need to attack or otherwise defeat other races to prove their strength and superiority, they consider placing a Super Destroyer over a world to be a perfectly normal response to even the smallest slight.

Do not fail to appreciate the irony that despite brutal suppression at studying its mechanism and tens of millions of years of galaxy-wide blackout, Lolumalus still seems perfectly capable of operating this strange machinery.

Also detecting radioactivity is as simple as finding a camera. X-rays and gamma rays will penetrate the camera and oxidize the film, just as light would were it not blocked by the aperture. If the film gets overexposed without leaving its light-proof cannister, then that film (and everything around it) was being irradiated.

Er, except once you take out the film to check, the visible light you use to check the film will also overexpose it, thus why they develop film in a darkroom. Hm...

Left, system map:
Second planet out, small continent on third planet's southern hemisphere, who's northern portion is inhabited by some sort of quadruped. Maybe the ship's next target for collection?
Some sort of ship or station outside the orbit of the second planet, looks vaguely similar to the aforementioned Super Destroyer. Does not have it's own orbit line, so may be under it's own power.
Third position is depicted symbolically. May be a known artificial object in a stellar orbit.

Background: looks a little like the profile of the ship, but with additional copies embedded into it or receding behind it. May be some sort of logo? The chunk of symbol on its left may be the name of the ship.

Top-left window: some sort of status readout?

Top-centre window: Some sort of galactic news network.

Top-right window: No clue.

>Do not fail to appreciate the irony that despite brutal suppression at studying its mechanism and tens of millions of years of galaxy-wide blackout, Lolumalus still seems perfectly capable of operating this strange machinery.
The suppression was conducted by Alvari while they were alive. It's quite likely the Council species studied the hell out of how their technology worked afterwards, even if they didn't wish to share it with other races. Lolumalus has plenty of council knowledge locked away in his prodigious noggin, maybe the need the interact with Alvari technology triggered the release of the knowledge needed to operate it.

Digital camera with a preview screen. Cover the lens and you can tell if there's radiation by flickering pixels. Still pictures would work too, but then you need to be able to adjust for the camera's cmos error.

Unfortunately, either tends to be noticeable only when radiation levels are high - there's a lot of camera blocking exposure, after all.

Lolmalus: Ok, i have good news, bad news and...worrying news..

Lolumalus: Good news is we now have access to a working stellar map, the major news network's and the internal schematics allowing us to know exactly where, when and How we are.
Plus there seems to be a inhabited planet not to far from here, and failing that the transmission relay station, that thing in the square, looks undamaged. So if needs be those will function as bolt holes.
Bad news is those two screens by the side of the Gnn screen are supposed to be showing the only other signals, the councils emergency rescue system, instead were getting static.
This is bad for two reason's, First they the only signals out here we are guaranteed to get a response on, and secondly the only reason it would get gnn and not the other two was if they were being deliberately jammed.
Amy: ..I see..and the worrying news?

Lolumalus turns and gestures to the other screens.

Amy: Ok, one step at a time, First can we use this to figure out exactly how far we are from civilization?
Lolumalus: Oh i already know were we are, here ill show you.

Lolumalus turns and slides his hands over a apparently featureless silver screen, above them the display changes to a series of colored shapes and symbols.

Lolumalus: Ok, this is a somewhat abstract map but the symbols are clear enough, as you can see we are presently in the first spiral arm, just below the galactic core, the world i was taken from is here.
Lolumalus points to a symbol on the bottom of the screen.
L: Its close to the edge of both council and galactic space. as you can see this thing has been all over. even looks like its gone outside the galaxy, most likely to a station of some sort.

Amy spends a few moments looking at the screen before pointing to one of the worlds.
Amy: Im not sure, but i think that's my home there, i remember it's supposed to be close-ish to the edge.
Korrok: I have no idea were my home world is, never seemed important to learn it.. slapping myself now i can tell you.

Amy: ok, i may regret this, but is it possible for us to find out how long weve been here? like records or just looking up the date somewere?
Lolumalus: Indeed it is, the GNN feed will contain the standard date, but that wont really help you much.
Korrok: Actually it might, theyve got translators that do text as well as speech, so it should do the same for the date!
Lolumalus: They dont work like that Korrok.. i mean.. i dont think they work like that.. Do they work like that?
Korrok: Only one way to find out!

Lolumalus taps the screen and brings up the gnn feed, after tapping a few symbols he brings up a video of a group of creatures gathered around...something. Its obvious from the movements of the strange Bird like aliens face that there should be sound, but the screen seems to have been muted.

Lolumalus: Hey, thats my house! and according to this i was taken just [EIGHT HOURS] ago! Shame about the sound, id love to hear what there saying the smug [PRICKS], Increased orbital detection dosen't sound like such a waste of budget now dose it! [SHORT BURST OF AMUSEMENT]!

Amy: This is amazing! i mean, theres a arm in a jar back there that looks like it was grown to replace mine, wich they must have grown in less the a freaking day!

Amy runs her hand over Lolumalus's mechanical arm

Amy: And this is amazing, did they make this?
Lolumalus: indeed, although its actually a hindernce, my species can regrow limbs in the space of about [ONE WEEK] so this may be doing more harm then good.
Amy: still, its very impressive that they built this in... WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE! How the hell dose this translator know how long a week is!?
Lolumalus: excuse me?
Amy: this thing translated the time without me knowing what the date was! its also been converting my local time into your standards, the only way it could do that is if it already had a frame of reference! One of you must have been on earth at some point! wich means it must have been recorded.. Wich means we can get home!!

Excited, amy turns and yell for Naoko.
Amy: HEY NAOKO!

Because even tiny shouty crab things don't deserve to get lost on spaceships and have terrible things happen to then. Doubly so since she acts like an immature child.

Besides we wanted to ask her... something. Who cares. You can tease her, hold her upside-down, and live out some more power fantasies when you find her. That's good fun.

You briefly consider returning for help from the group, but you decide against it since your only going to search the corridor and poke you're head into the doors, your not going anywhere near the giant murder room.
your not actually sure whether she can open the doors, but after last time you don't think you'll be underestimating her anytime soon.

Anyway, you think you may have to sneak up on her to catch her, and the Boozy Bleachy Bovine strikes you as someone who is as stealthy as a man falling down the stairs. The marvelous Mechanical Mollusk may be help full to have around, but frankly its starting to creep you out, and while you wouldn't mind getting to know Sexy Super Scientist some more she's probably busy saving you all via science.
Also she's a little...distracting.. you think you'll hold on to that mental image for a while..

Enough Dillydallying! Time to kick this rescue mission/babysitting misadventure into gear! you head to the bottom right door which slides open quietly to reveal a slightly disappointing room. Significantly smaller then the other rooms, there is only a single shelving unit holding a few books and some scrolls, in the corner is a row of assorted books and other items and at the back of the room is a small pile of papers and books.
other then that, the room is empty and silent, lacking Chillise distinctive yelling..

Moving to the lower left room you find it's much larger with several shelves and a central rack laden with odd looking objects. the only recognizable object in the room is a large battle axe apparently stuck to the wall, probably via magnets or some such..
There is a faint humming permeating the room, but a distinct lack of petulant crab whining.

It appears to be an armory, so clearly you need to NOT TOUCH ANYTHING.
You don't know what any of this is or how it works. We don't even know if they are weapons, since we only think that because some of them look kinda weapon-ish.
If I were a Sufficiently Advanced Alien, I'd design my space-guns so that they're locked to their user somehow. If I were making them for the military instead of private citizens then I would also design them to kill unauthorized users on contact.

It's not safe to be in here even if you weren't at risk of doing something like mistaking a landmine for a discus.
Wait for the the aliens who actually know things, and have them decide what's safe to touch.

Meanwhile, check the next room.

You Suppress a squeal of girlish, weaponry induced delight and are about to run into the room and tool up like a mini rambo when some disquieting thought's stops you.

First of all, you dont even know how any of these things work, i mean, look at that thing, its just a tube, no trigger or grips or anything recognizable. You could try and fire one of these things only to take your own head off..

Also the things that built this place would have had to have been really arrogant or REALY Stupid to leave it unlocked with no security.
at the very least the door will probably seal itself behind you, and you dont think starving to death is on your to do list..

You decide to move on to the other side of the corridor for now, try a less well armed room.
That may have been a poor choice of words.

This room is somewhat larger then the others, stretching for what looks like at least a mile. along the side are two low shelves laden with what looks like artificial limbs of various designs, few of which resemble terrestrial animals and several of wich are bigger then your entire body.

It occurs to you that you could use the larger limbs to wedge the door of the armory open and help yourself to the weaponry, but you decide to wait until you've found crabby and gathered the others, that way they can tell you whether you've garbed a gun or a landmine..

You move over to the other doors with a distinct sinking feeling, as its looking less and less likely that chillise is still in this part of the room.
a idea occurs to you, and you pause briefly to check the floor for scratch marks.
unfortunately the floor is unmarked, any scratches being to small for you too see.

You move over to the third door wich slides open to reveal...whoa.. thats.. thats alot of clothes. the clothes are tightly packed into the room with almost noooOGOD!

You briefly consider searching the pile for a replacement Gentlemanly Hat, but from the smell of it you'd say these clothes haven't been cleaned in quite a while, so you think youll pass.

You extract yourself from the pile and decide to be a little less subtle about your search and just start yelling for her, something that you probably should have done sooner now that you think about it.
you decide to start with the ramps, as going by experience the door's are most likely sound proof
you move to the top of the corridor and quickly check under the alien, just in case. Theres no sign of her, there's also no orifices or genitals... man this thing had crazy ass biology..

You move up to the right hand ramp and get ready to run like hell if you need to.

you brace yourself aginst the ramp getting ready to climb, itll be hard going as the ramp is practically vert... Or you can just walk up it..huh..

You carefully peek over the edge of the ramp, weary of crab-based ambushes.
the ramp opens on to a long well lit corridor lined on one side with three shorter versions of the devices downstairs lined aginst a large glass window.

You remember your holding the improved knife a little to late, as now both your hands are full, however as it took a lot of effort to cut through the glass, you dout it would make a scratch on the space armor this thing is wearing.

As its slowly moving towards you in a worryingly predatory fashion, you decide to get the hell out of there back to the gal with the gun, unfurtunatley its blocking the right side of the corridor whilst focusing quite intensly on you, youll need a distraction to make it past! fortunately you have one
Naoko: FACE CRAB!
Chillise: Oh you Bitch!

Haha! the Rider didn't see that coming and is flailing about wildly whilst the spider-alien-mount thingy is covering its own face the perfect opening! you take the initiative and run full tilt down its left side.
unfortunately this is exactly what it wanted you to do, as it put you in range for a lightning fast, bone-smashing punch that lifts you off your feet and slams you into the pillars, shattering it and several of your ribs.

Quick personal inventory check: You got anything that can make a loud noise, either on it's own, in combination with something else, or by breaking it? If so, pull it out and use it.

Otherwise, reach over and take your broken glasses in your hand, lob them with all your might down the gravity ramp, and pass out from the pain. If they clatter down it, Amy might hear them, and they'll at least mark which way she should go.

But if you can't do either of those things, remember your medical training and don't move or do anything to make having a bunch of ribs broken even worse. Can you tell if a rib punctured a lung or anything else?

Maybe you could play dead? There's a good chance they don't know your physiology, so they may be fooled. Slump against the column, don't respond to anything, and breathe as weakly as you can. You're probably going to do that anyway, so may as well try to use it to an advantage.

Another noise making idea is whistling, though that, too, requires air. Ooh, clapping! Clapping doesn't require the ability to breathe! ...Doesn't exactly shout "help me," though. Snapping your fingers doesn't require chest movement at all. Throwing broken glass might work, too.

While you dont have time for a proper examination, it feels like that punch shattered all the vertebrochondral ribs on your right side, and while the pain is making it hard to breathe in, you dont taste blood or feel gurgeling so you think your lungs are ok for now.
also for some strange reason the image of the incredible hulk jumps into your head, you hope like hell that your final thoughts are not going to turn out to be a almost naked giant green man...

While you may not be able to yell for help, you can at least leave something to show the others were you went, you grab your glasses and hurl them at the blurred area that you hope is the ramp. as you do the alien grabs hold of your ear and yanks you upright, this is extremely painfully but before you can get a scream out it clamps its other hand over your face.

You are now Amy Linden, youre twenty eight years old, you have a iq of 210, a Smith and Weston 500 magnum, a giant tail of renowned huggable softness and the worrying thought that all of those are going to be totally useless in up coming events.

Here's what you're going to do: Stop worrying, push on forward, and do everything you can and must to find Naoko, save her from the danger she's likely in, and then kiss her so hard her ears shoot off like rockets. Self-motivation done, it's time to take charge and do stuff.

Turn 'round and tell Korrok and Lolumalus that you've got a bad feeling that Naoko is in trouble, or at least farther away from the group than she ought to be. You're going to go find her, and you're taking them with you 'cause we are definitely not splitting up; That way leads to bad things happening.

But first, ask Lolumalus he can use the controls to bring up the internal sensors or cameras or biological detectors or whatever there is here they used to watch what was going on in the ship, or at least this section of the ship. If there are and he can, then perhaps you'll get lucky and Naoko will show up on them. Even if Lolumalus can't, maybe he can get something simpler like a map of the immediate area, and a log of when doors open and close. That might give you a rough idea of where Naoko went.

You're also going to need weapons for all of you, 'cause as good as that S&W is on Earth it's not going to do jack against something from out here that's built for combat. Don't know where you'd get them though. Maybe there are some in one of those rooms back there?

Also get some way to talk to each other over distance. There's probably something you three could use in that noisy pile of communication devices you ran across earlier.

Ah, good, this floor not having any side passages greatly simplifies things. Now, lets see... You're currently in the round room about a third of the way from the left. You last saw Naoko heading left-wards, back towards the elevator. She hasn't come back this way, so unless she somehow crossed the autopsy/surgery room alone, without using the super-knife, and took the elevator, she should still be in that section. Just gotta hope she wasn't taken to the elevator by something or somebody else, but that can wait until you've checked the whole area.

Ask Lolumalus if he can translate what the symbols on the map mean, especially the ones back towards the elevator from where you are. Perhaps one is "weapons" so he and Korrok could get something to arm themselves. And what's those two that lead up those two ramps you passed coming here?

Start by checking the six rooms to the west/left on the map, then up the ramps, and finally the autopsy/surgery room, but keep one person in the corridor at all times in case Naoko comes back, or somebody else tries to head to the east/right. If Lolumalus can turn the speed on his anti-gravity drive up, he should be the one to check the longer rooms.

...Actually, also ask if Lolumalus' personal levitation unit is strong enough for him to carry passengers of significant weight, mostly in case you need to cross dangerous terrain, and partly out of wanting to at some point add "rode a flying space snail" to your list of life achievements.

ok we can cross off the medical room from hell for now as I'm sure neither of the two would have gone back there if they could avoid it and they are most likely not in any of the side rooms here as I'm sure you would have noticed them by this point so that narrows down our search a bit. Lets just start with whatever is closest that isn't any of the just mentioned rooms and work our way up (or would it be down?)

Amy: What dose those symbols mean? it'd be a real help if one is a giant sign pointing to the armory..
Lolumalus: i dont think they mean anything, if memory serves Alvari writing translates to nothing but bizarre gibberish. we think that was a deliberate act of sabotage on their part, a final Fuck you to those that would inherit the ruin they left behind.
Korrok: You know they kinda look like arrows? not sure why they change coor like that though..
Amy: Hmmm, well i don't think well need to go back into the big surgery room, i doubt she'd walk back into that mess, she's most likely gone up the ramps instead.
Lolumalus: Indeed, But it would be wise to check the rooms as we pass them, to ensure they arnet being used as a means to flank us.
Amy: Good idea, Oh, before we go how strong is your anti gravity thingy? could you carry anything heavy like a person?
Lolumalus: Its magnetic repulsion and it adjusts itself automatically to any increase or losses in weight, unfortunately my species isnt exactly built for heavy lifting, these arms are mostly fat stores truth be told. if i tried to pick up anything heavy id either overbalance or end up pinned to the floor.
Amy: oh, i see. thats unfortunate, we could have used it to carry any wounded people we find and..other stuff..

HE MUST NEVER KNOW.

The group moves off towards the corridor, carefully checking for anything out of place. the corridor is still empty except for a faintly smoking pile of clothes, this is of course a cause for concern, but they stick to the plan instead of rushing towards potential cloth based doom.
they start with the bottom left door, also known as Gunhalla

Korrok: Wow, thats, thats a lot of guns..
Lolumalus: Indeed, stroke of luck for us huh, you see any you can use..uh... sorry what was your name again?.. hello?

Amy is briefly paralyzed with pure Gun enthusiast's Joy at the variety layed before her, unfortunately this soon fades with the joint realization that the arms on display are both bizarre alien designs and rifle like in size, requiring at least two arms.

Amy: Aw man that sucks..

No. 506371 ID: 9ddf68

why would that suck? aren't you some kind of super smart science-y chick that could probably make some kind of gun holster thing to let you carry a two handed gun with just one hand?

Best not to linger here, as much as you'd like to. Naoko is still missing and likely in danger so you're on the clock here.

Since you have no idea what any of these weapons are, or how to trigger them, or even which end to point towards the enemy (which is rather important for safety reasons,) stand watch at the entrance and ask Korrok and Lolumalus to head in. They'd be far more likely to be able to ID if one of these weapons could be used by either of them or you.

Korrok could probably use one of the rifle-sized ones, but Lolumalus probably wouldn't be able to use any of them, unless there's one made by or for his species. Ask them if they run across anything you could use one-handed to bring it back for you. Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll find the something like an MIB "Noisy Cricket."

And you may even be able to use one of those rifle sized guns one-handed, if it's an energy based weapon. Energy based means no recoil, so you'd only have to worry about the weight and if the trigger is close enough to the end to press.

And I think you guys can skip past the clothes door. Obviously Naoko opened that one, and it's kind of safe to assume she opened the ones behind it. If you assume she did the same thing you're doing when she went looking for the crab-princess.

Amy: Good idea! i could probably rig something up using the clothes, lemme just grab some.
Korrok: What was that about?
Lolumalus: I have no idea..

Amy quickly returns with a arm full of random clothes that she dumps unceremoniusly onto the floor.

Amy: Ok, whille i go through this lot, could one of you check out those weapons? maybe find something we could use?
Korrok: Ill go, you guys stay out here,
Amy: If you find some kind of low recoil rifle or pistol itd really help, basically anything you can use one handed.
Korrok: alright, ill grab a few things at random first, just to make sure no kill bot turns up, you two should back away from the door a bit, just in case.

Amy and lolumalus back away a few steps and watch as korrok walks further into the room. with a soft hiss the doors gently close behind him, leaving the two alone in the corridor. after a few moments of tense waiting the silence is broken by korroks voice.

No. 507348 ID: 9e1727

...Um. Ask Korrok to wait right there. Step up to the doorway and see what happens to the door he stepped out of when yours opens. Then step through and back again after it closes. Silently look Korrok in the eye for a moment while what happened sinks in, then completely squee out that things have gone all extra-dimensional TARDIS-shaped with a dash of Aperture Science portals. Also, your science bar is now non-Euclidean.

Once the science squee subsides, it's on to the gun squee. Take a look at what Korrok collected, and test fire whatever you can use one-handed into the clothes pile. Ask Korrok to test the two-handed guns. Explain what you were thinking of using the clothes for while collecting them up and fashioning them into a sling support thing for a rifle.

The portal color coding is a little hard to make out, but it looks like if Naoko went up the left ramp, then came back the same way, she'd come down the right ramp, and vice versa with the right ramp. So your group only has to go up one ramp, down, and back up to check both sides.

Oh, and an important safety tip: Standing in the doorway when the door closes is a Bad Idea. The Alvari probably set them to not stop closing if a non-Alvari is in the way. Though, it might come in handy if you ever need to slice something too big to do with the Super Stanley knife.

Amy: Ok, sorry but i need to test this quickly, korrok back away from that door a bit, just in case.

As the door to the armory begins to slide open, the door Korrok emerged from Slams shut with a echoing Clang.

Amy: Hmm interesting, hold on.
Amy crouches down and pulls out a small, fold out ruler.
Amy:Lets see what being stuck between the doors dose shall we?

Amy watches as the doors slide shut quietly, trapping the ruled between them, there is a faint curl of smoke and a low humming noise.
After waiting a moment Amy exits the room and finds herself on the other side of the corridor, looking Korrok in the face.

Korrok: See? they were arrows pointing were each door connects.
Amy stares into Korrok yellow eyes as her mind jumps into overdrive.

Korrok: Uh... are you okay?
Amy continues to stare, Her mind jumping into overdrive as it begins to calculate the mathmatical formula for a transversible wormhole threshold.

Korrok: seriously this is kinda creeping me out..
Amy Breaks into a grin of Pure Math Based Delight, the revelation that wormhole/space folding technology could be mastered to the degree that it could effectively transport a single person without their knowledge causes the SCIENCE! bar to mutate into a Non-euclidean Right angled triangle.


Korrok: I think we broke her..

Okay. Um. But why? Something like warping spacetime is typically enormously costly in the energy department. Using it for such mundane utility (or non-utility, really. What's the point of entering and exiting on opposite sides of the hall) without good reason seems absurd.

We're either missing something important here, or the people who designed this place were insane and had more power generation than they knew what to do with.

(Or this place was put together by Bloody Stupid Johnson).

>>
No. 507877 ID: 9e1727

Obviously the plasma discharge pistol goes to Amy; She's going to need an explanation on how to read the status indicators and do a test fire.

The energy rifle might go to Lolumalus if it's light enough and he can get his fingers past the trigger guard. Though with the way he needs his hands to talk, it may be better if Korrok uses it. Or at least if he holds onto it. Cut some strips of fabric from the clothes to tie a makeshift sling to it so he can put it on his back.

Since that Shi'nothi gun is personalized, what're the odds that it has a trigger lock system so it only fires for the one who it's meant for? A test fire would be in order, except if there's a chance the gun's trigger lock system also has an offensive anti-theft system to injure or kill an unauthorized user. What's their attitude about gun thieves? If it turns out it most likely won't kill an unauthorized user, give it a test fire, and if it checks out then Korrok gets it. Uh, just make sure to test fire it so it'll hit far away, in case it's a BFG9000.

>>507862
Considering the way some of those confiscated item rooms are super long - longer than the width of the external hull - it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to think that each room is in some kind of extra-dimensional location, only connected by the door portals. The way their entrances and exits are messed up might just be another way the ship's systems are a bit messed up right now.

Amy: Wait wait wait, why the hell do they have freaking wormholes randomly connecting doors? that seems like a enormous amount of work just to slightly confuse people. Dose it have anything to do with the fact that the rooms are bigger on the inside? which is ridiculously cool by the way.

Lolumalus: Frankly your guess is as good as mine, since we lack almost all the cultural context its pretty hard to say whats a deliberate design and whats a massive disaster. As for the room sizes we have no idea how they've done that, The smartest people in known space have been trying to figure it out for centuries.
All we know for sure is that the math says its totally impossible with our present laws of physics, what ever machine they've got doing this must be beyond anything we can comprehend. Hell its power source alone must be unimaginable..

Amy: But if that was the case why would your warning label be so vague? shouldnt it have a note or something like Danger Huge ass bomb as power or something? seems kinda odd that they'd just..
Korrok: Test Firing!
Amy: What?

Korrok aims the Gun down the corridor and pulls the trigger, causing a huge jet of a strange shimmering darkness to erupt down the corridor, casting a strange sickly yellow glow as it fades.
this occurs in utter silence.

And it looks like somebody needs a crash course in firearm handling and trigger discipline. Apply said crash course with much volume and profanity.

Crash course delivered, have Korrok test the strange gun on that pile of clothes. At right angles to the doorway, 'because you have no idea what would happen if that thing burned through one of those wormhole doors, but it'd probably be really bad.

Apologize to Korrok for the outburst; He couldn't have known if what was happing to you was normal or not, being an alien and all. Though you won't apologize for yelling at him for the gun thing. Proper firearm handling and safety is always important; Doubly so with powerful alien guns.

Can't help but notice you've gotten side-tracked here with the guns, and the portal-doors, and other stuff. Naoko and Princess Shouty-Beak are still missing, so snap up all the guns and get a move on.

It is a bit odd that you're getting prepped for a mechanical replacement arm when they have what looked like a perfect vat grown biological replacement. Though the metal traces may also be for prepping for a biological replacement, as far as you know. Maybe mention the arm you saw to Lolumalus and Korrok as you all continue searching for Naoko.

Come to the realization that all of the nonsense you've encountered- the use of gravity manipulation technology to make a better hammer, the use of teleportation/nanite disassembly and reassembly to move a robot from one place to another instead of walking, glass that has variable permeability but shatters normally when you hit it, an anti-gravity sink, universal translators, the use of traversable wormholes to make navigating a hallway slightly more confusing, a species that can do all this being temporarily disabled by having a crab thrown at its face, a galactic government lasting for 800,000 years when one of its main members is completely homicidal- has only one logical explanation.
This is a simulation, probably intended as an experiment to test reactions to a surreal and alien environment. The only alternative is that the entire species who built this ship had a literal raging hard-on for rampant inefficiency, and if they did they would never have achieved the technologies required to use a traversable wormhole in the most pointless way ever.

[[[Ugh, not really happy with this bit, the writing didnt flow as well as it should but i need to get it out, fortunatley its not a info dump -,-]]]

You take sevral deep breaths, forcing yourself to calm down as Korrok and Lolumalus nervously watch you.

Amy: Im sorry, this is all just.. getting to me you know? All this crazyness, like that lizard thing following us, the meat fungus growing everywere, the vanishing robots, (Lolumalus: What?. Korrok: tell you later.) theres a room back there full of things in jars, one of wich looked for all the world like my arm that i lost twenty damn years ago wich is bad enough, but now i find out this place is actively messing around with me, like it thinks im a toy that needs fixing or something! i mean, nightmare fuel on its own but this place is so messed up i dont know what its trying to repair! is it just fixing my arm or is it going to change my weight? my height? gender? Species!? This is all just..its just..

Amy sighs the deepest of sighs.

Amy: Im sorry to freak out at you like that.. im struggling to keep a hold on all this..

Korrok walks over and places a comforting hand on amys shoulder. at least it was supposed to be comforting, but the combination of his bizarrely proportioned limbs and strange dual thumbed, clawed hands lends the whole gesture a strangely disquieting air.

Korrok: Dont beat yourself up over it, your actually doing realy well. hell, first time i went of world i freaked out so badly i locked myself in my room for a week! just take your time to process all this and youll be fine.
Amy: heh. you know, now that i stop and think about it, i do have a lot of questions, i mean why would they grow a arm if there just gonna stick a robot on there? and why did they waste energy creating wormholes to rooms three foot away? And how the hell have you had a peaceful society that's lasted Eight Hundred Thousand years when one of the founding species is comprised of violent sociopaths?

Lolumalus: well we dont have time for a in depth history lesson, but long story short, peaceful? HAH! There has not been a single day in all history were some race hasnt been kicking the hell out of another, the only thing about the Aius is that there up front about it, no black ops or deniability, they just flat out state there planning to kill you!
to be hoinest, the main factor stopping all out brawls is less the other council races talking you down from fights and more the sheer size of space it self. Billions upon Billions of empty worlds just there for the taking, so fighting over territory is frankly stupid, add to that the massive increase in population that follows colonization means that any army big enough to invade a world is a nightmare of logistics, so fighting it out in the council becomes a far cheaper solution.

Korrok: i cant rember who but someone once told me a metaphor for the council that i thought worked well, The council is the designated driver who has to stop his drunken, racist friends from bieng idiots, the councils motto should be "Brah, no brah, its not worth it Brah, cmon Brah lets go back, i got some killer weed!"

Lolumalus: a worryingly good comparison. anyway, if youve calmed down enough i feel we should move on. i recomend taking the pistol with us.

You crouch down and gingerly pick up the strange alien tech.

Amy: ok, so what am i looking at here.
Korrok: nothing special, just point and pull to fire a blast, hold it down to fire a stream of flaming plasma, standard stuff. that read out on the side tells you how many shots you have left, i think it uses something like two shots a second for the stream? so, should we stick with searching the rooms or dose anyone have a better idea?

Amy: I just realized that im bitching about getting a prosthesis in front of a guy that's already got one..
Lolumalus: Yep
Amy: i must look like a massive Douche..
Lolumalus: Yep. Also Ew.

Thinking about Lolumalus's Robotic limb causes Amys Magnificent Brain to seize upon the events thus far and begins to sort them. The more plentiful robots all possessing non-lethal (ish) manipulating limbs instead of something more useful for security, all the captives's possessions neatly (sort of) layed out with no security and the holding cells designed for comfort instead of captivity all point to a entirely different purpose then experimentation.
This in combination with the large clean rooms with the stasis pods being used to re-assemble and revive corpses, the banks of spare organs and limbs and Lolumalus's limb being precisely matched to his biology leads amy to conclude the ships systems are instead focused on diagnosing and repairing impairments in subjects it abducts, like a hospital that kidnaps people.

Amy: Guys! I think this is a Medical ship!..guys?

Korrok: we're over here, you zoned out for a [MINUTE]there, we thought we'd check the other rooms will you where doing what ever it was you were doing.
Amy: oh, uh ok. find anything?
Korrok: Bunch of robot arms in that one over there, this one's packed out with clothes. they might have been useful, but when they got caught in the worm portal thingy they kinda... melted.

Amy: Pretty bad, like burning plastic and unwashed, week old underwear.
Korrok: ...What?
Amy: hmm? oh sorry miles away. Uh, well from the look of it id say we can safely assume they went this way. most likely up one of he ramps, as if they were in one of the rooms they would have come out by now since they weren't that large.
Korrok: so check the last rooms for sneak attack then pick a ramp? seems good to me.
Amy: Oh! wait before we go anywhere i need to get this done.

Amy turns and starts messing with the clothes pile, grabbing various long pieces of cloth and tying them into a long rope

Korrok: What are you doing?
Amy: Hold on, lemme just stick this here and, Done!

Amy stands and twirls, showing the harness she has made from what seem to be several socks and a hat.
Amy: The pistol goes on my side here, in this..net hat thingy, and the laser rifle sits nicely in what i hope to God is a sock. so, what do ya think?

As korrok checks the side rooms you move up to the ramps and carefully examine them for signs of Naoko's passing. the right side is bare of any traces, but when you move to the left hand ramp you spot Naoko's glasses laying at the top.

Meanwhile Korrok pokes his head into the organ room, and while he dosent spot anything strange (to him at least, he is forced to agree that the whole place is creepy as hell and quickly moves on.
The comm's room is unchanged, with the devices still piled in the middle. Korroks attention is caught by a single flashing device, picking it up he realizes its the same comss unit that Amy used to talk with the unknown entity earlier. he decides to show amy and let her decide whether she wants to continue communicating with what ever it is on the other end.

Korrok walks over to you and holds out the flashing device.
Korrok: Its for you!.. probably. Even if it isnt im not answering the damn thing..
>>
No. 515085 ID: 9ddf68

well it's good to know that Amy's arm and whatever was in the left tank (right our side) is gone. Any ways tell Korrok you found Naoko's glasses and would like him to check it out since he still has the fuck all gun and I feel as it would be better to be covered with any other gun then that. once we get the glasses then we can use the communication device to see if we can get anything useful out of it.

[[[Ran out of blue ink mid drawing, PROFESSIONALISM HOOOOO!]]]

As you place the device in your ear, you tell Korrok what you found.
Amy: She's definatley in trouble, her glasses are sitting right at the top of this ramp.
Korrok: ok, you stay here and deal with this, ill poke my head over the top and see what waiting for us. Not the best option i know but im assuming what ever did this knows were coming and has had more then enough time to set up a ambush, at the very least we can get a quick peek of the layout..

As korrok moves up the ramp, you poke the answer button on the device and the familiar, unpleasent voice fill's your ear. it still has that strange, phlegmy sound to it but it sounds more, refined somehow.
there is also a odd blurring to some of the words it uses as the translator tries to use many words at once.

Voice: I/We Cant Help But Notice You/Other Are Not Performing The Instructions We/I Gave You/Other, And Are Instead Wasting Time Searching For The Other Anthro-Morph. I/We Do Not Recommend You continue With This Course Of Action.

As you listen to the off putting ramble, Korrok Pokes his head over the ramp.

Korrok: I think i can see the little crabby thing, its pulling on something right at the end of the corridor, i cant see anything else.

Tell the voice that you will need to be alive to open the door, and staying alive is less likely if you let your group dwindle. If he doesn't want you to spend time searching for her he can help you find her sooner.

Crabgirl is there, but remember that there were signs of an ambush right next to here. One of you should go while the other stays back to provide fire support if needed.

Amy: No.

Amy: I said, NO! Look, i dont know how you do it on planet zog or what ever, but we are not going to leave her behind ok? so if you want us to do you poorly defined task on your vaguely defined timeline either start helping us or butt the hell out!

There is no reply from the voice, just a low phlegmy growl on the other end of the line before it cuts off suddenly

Amy: Well that shut him up, ok whats the range on this plasma thing?
Korrok: About twice the length of this corridor.
Amy: ok, ill stay here and give you cover, you go see if naoko is ok. Lolumalus, you stay beck on the ramp.
Korrok: Sounds like a plan.
Lolumalus: No argument here.
Amy: Before we do that however, CHILLISE! GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!

Chillise stops tugging on the distant object and runs over, she is noticeably larger with several patches of peeling skin.

Amy: Whoa, what happaned to you? You got Big!
Chillise: Im molting, what your excuse fat ass?
Amy: You little!
Chillise: Argue later, now shush, the other one fell and wont get up!
Korrok: Right, stay here.
Chillise: No, everyone needs to come help! C'mon!

While chillise starts tuggin on your skirt Korrok walks down the corridor slowly. he keeps to the glass wall whilst checking the odd little booths before stopping at the far side.

Korrok: Ok, good news is she's still alive, bad news is she's been arrested...

No. 518444 ID: bc8d67

Yeah, this is 99.9% certainly a trap, Chillise is in on it, and Naoko is the bait. This situation was suspicious to start with, but with Chillise showing a sudden inexplicable concern for Naoko, and demanding that everyone come help her at once, that screams "trap." And if she really gave a damn about Naoko, Chillise would have come and told everybody, not stay here ineffectually poking her.

Don't let on to Chillise that you suspect her, yet. Ask Korrok to tell you what he means by "arrested," since you seriously doubt there are police roaming around on this ship. If he says it's 'cause she's bound with handcuffs, then tell him to go check the door at the end of the hall while you come up to cut them; Not like there's any cops around to stop you.

Move up in front of the booths, like you're going to Naoko, and put distance between you and Chillise. Then spin around and get a bead on her and step behind the nearest booth panel, since it'll provide cover if there's gunfire. Tell her if she moves or speaks that you'll shoot her, and that if this is a trap, you'll make sure she'll be shot when it goes off.

Amy: What do you mean Arrested!
Korrok: I.. mean arrested.. not really sure what else you could have gotten from that..
Lolumalus: Whats he saying?
Amy: He said she's been arrested!
Lolumalus: Thats simultaneously the best and the worst news ive heard all day
Amy: What? why would.. No, ok lets not go off on another tangent just yet, im guessing a police officer wouldnt just leave her here so.. Trap?
Korrok: Trap
Lolumalus: oh, of course its a trap.
Chillise: What? No, dont be stupid she just fell is all, you all need to come help me!
Amy: Yeah, its definatley a trap, that basically sealed it.
Chillise: Ok, wow, im feeling the trust here..
Amy: Korrok! Can you drag her over here or something?
Korrok: Hell no! im not touching him, theyll say i was "Interfering with a prisoner" and kick the shit out of me!
Amy: I.. wow, ok well is there, like, a note or something? something that tells us why she's been arrested, i mean its a little odd to me that they'd arrest a kidnap victim..
Lolumalus: Well technically were breaking the law just being here, what with the laws against messing with Alvari stuff. As for Naoko its basicaly standard practice for the police to knock suspects the fuck out now and ask questions later.
Amy: And.. your all totaly fine with rampant police brutality?
Lolumalus: Well when you taker into account the raw strength of certain races and the massive proliferation of high powered easily concealed weaponry, incapacitating everyone in the area is pretty much the only way they can safely get their job done. As for moving him i dont recommend it, as the officer's are more then likely still here, watching us to see what we do.

Your Paranoia bar jumps massively at this bar, Reaching Flighty Broad status.

Wait, how do we know the space cop even has a ship to lock us up in? What if the space cop was kidnapped just like we were? Then we're just going to end up knocked out and taken prisoner here. That's hardly an improvement!

...not that getting throw in a police cruiser for breaking laws I never knew about and had no way to avoid breaking is a great alternative either, although I suppose if we made it back to some kind of civilization we might have more options and be in less immediate danger.

"You assume that the one who 'arrested' Naoko is actually an officer of the law, which can be faked.

But assuming you're right? Any space cop that would be arresting people while an Aius is on the loose isn't smart enough to get sent here, so they have to be a kidnapping victim themselves. From this I can conclude that their intent is to kill or bring under their control all sophonts on board, but being dumb means they're just going to get everybody killed.
Chillise, your 'friend' is using you as live bait. Meaning it either doesn't care if you live or die, or it doesn't think we're a threat and is just being a bully.

Personally? I think this thing is impersonating an officer, which is highly illegal. Meaning that you not only betrayed us, but you're willfully aiding and abetting a criminal.
Lets test this theory. Weapons free, everybody."

Point your weapon at Chillise, then call out "I demand proof that there's a legitimate law enforcement officer here. If not, then I'll execute Chillise for her crimes in five seconds."

... what do you normally do to relax Amy because I really really think you need something to calm your nerves, I mean just today you've been abducted, meet hostile aliens, meet not so hostile aliens, have found technology that is both amazing and horrifying, you apparently have a cybernetic (or soon to be) limb now, the only person from 'home' was arrested for crimes you're not totally sure of and it seems you're about to also be arrested via horrible beating, and now the little crab thing is calling you fat. You have to admit that today has been one hell of a stressful/exciting day so your nerves are probably shot to hell which is why you're a little wacky right now. I mean Korrok said he freaked out the first time he was abducted and he at least had an idea of what else was in the galaxy so it's understandable if you're a little out of it.

but yeah we really need to figure out what to do here first otherwise we will never have time to relax. Maybe pick up Chillise and ask why she's trying to lore everyone into a beating and how did she herself not get arrested since she's just as guilty as the rest of us.

Amy, irrespective of where it came from, considering that the thought of murdering everybody in this room wafted through your mind and you momentarily thought it was a good idea, you have to come to the conclusion that you should not be holding a gun right now. You should get rid of it as quickly and as safely as you can. You can figure out where the fuck that thought came from once you're not an immediate potential danger to your allies.

Crouch down, lay the plasma pistol flat on the ground, and slide it under Lolumalus. Flatly state that you just had a perfectly reasonable idea pop into your head from out of nowhere to kill everyone here, that that's definitely not normal for you, and you think something is wrong but you don't know what. Slip your holster and improvised rifle sling off while doing that and slide them over to Lolumalus as well.

Then gently sit on Chillise, 'cause if she's going to insult your weight and you're not going to get to shoot her, she's at least going to get to experience your mass first-hand.

Amy: I...I dont think i should be armed right now..i.. if i surrender to this thing what will it do? i mean, how do we know its got a ship? or that its even really a cop?
Lolumalus: true, we dont realy know for sure that they have a police ship, but if you rember the map we saw earlier there were two large rooms, one was the engine room, the other a hanger. At the very least it should have a shuttle we can use to leave the ship and reach the Transmission beacon. As for what going to hapane when we disarm? well unless were dealing with a total moron they'l have found a safe area to set up base were they will hold us until they can get us of the ship, after that we'll all be identified then dropped of on our homeworld's. steps will be taken to ensure you and the other guy dont contaminate your native culture's.

On the one hand, yes, obviously, crazy thoughts bad. On the other, this is an unknown, dangerous, complicated situation. I'm not exactly comfortable being boxed up and trusting the lone police alien to solve the mystery of the automated ancient abduction fleet itself.

Step one- remove the creepy thing's communicator from your ear, Amy. See if that stops the bad thoughts.

Step two- give your spacegun to Lolumalus already before you shoot anyone.

Lolumalus pauses before answering, his limbs move in a way that manage to convey his nervous embarrassment despite not having any facial features.

Lolumalus: I must confess that is a option, in all honesty ive been talking them up a tad, i just want to take the fastest route of the ship available, im sure if you tried peaceful communication youll get some results. judging by your luck so far theyll probably declare you a ambassador or something.

Um, hello? We come in peace? And we're not intentionally breaking any laws. I understand just being here is against the rules or something, but we really didn't have a say in our abductions.

[[shit dialogue because its hot as hell here! Brain not be good if heat...]]]]

You try to ignore the other bizarre ideas that spring into your head. you really hoped it was something to do with the headset as the only other explanation you can think of is your family's history of schizophrenia.. poor uncle Efran..

Amy: Ok, uh.. Hello officer.. if, you know you actually are a officer and not some kind of handcuffing sex bot.. uh, were willing to co-operate and we didnt mean to break any laws, i mean, ive only just found out that its illegal for us to be here so... sorry about that.
Actually no, you know what im not sorry, i was god damned Kidnapped! Who the hell arrests a kidnap victim?. And then uses her as bait in the most obvious trap ive ever seen!? And why the hell did you snatch her but let this little brat go?
Chillise: So Snuggly.

After a moment of silence, you hear a voice speaking but are unable to place were its coming from, theres a strange reverb to its speaking that makes it sound like its coming from everywhere at once

???: While Ignorance is no defense against the law, it is true that you are the victims here. However when i encountered the Lagomorph her reaction to my appearance was to arm herself then utilize a child as a basaltic weapon, Such actions are not the marks of a reliable individual, so i have restrained her lest she exacerbate the situation.
As for this situation, it is less of a trap and more of a test. i wanted to ascertain whether you, the most heavily armed individual at the time, would follow the pattern set by your companion. to that end i instructed the child to bring you here, and withdrew to observe, im pleased to say you seem far more agreeable and i am prepared to discuss things further face too face's. Turn around.

You spin round, full of adrenaline and indignation, ready to give the space cop a verbal thrashing, however the anger quickly dies as you take in its spidery bulk.

Amy: What the hell kind of cop sneaks.. behind... people..
Ah, i think i know why she attacked, Pure Bowel destroying terror..
???: i had considered that and noted it among other mitigating evidence, but the fact remains that..
Amy: Uh.. You may want to move..

You gesture to the large bay window behind the spider cop, on the other side you can plainly see the strange, meaty fungus rapidly growing up the outside.

???: Ah yes, the Infection. i dont know what you did but you've really pissed it off, fortunately it seems most of the ships inhibitors are still online, as such while it grows rapidly, it will take it some time to reach the size necessary to break through. however i do recommend we conclude our discussions sooner rather then later.

The Alien climbs down from the grey device, its limbs moving with a silent, fluid grace that would be beautiful on a ballet dancers, but just adds to this creatures otherness.

???: As i was saying, her fear based response dose not excuse her from endangering a child
Amy: Oh you're on to talk, you were going to use her to spy on us!
???: I think youll find human, that there is a massive difference between asking a unrestrained, unguarded member of a group to, effectively, Pass notes to others in that group and using her as a projectile weapon.
>>
No. 529188 ID: 735f4f

Tossing someone in a blind panic is hardly a "projectile weapon".

Also you look somewhat like a creature on our planet that causes irrational fear in some of our species.

I know some people who wouldn't be able to be in the same room with you without huddling up in a ball and crying.

And finally if someone in your group lures you away then makes snarky comments about how you should have never messed with them while something unknown appears out of nowhere what are you supposed to think?
>>
No. 529209 ID: c95833

If you really believed us hostile and dangerous, sending her to pass notes to us was endangered her as much as throwing her around. At least she would have been reacting out of involuntary irrational fear- you made a decision.

...semantics, though. Is your situation the same as ours? Were you abducted here, or are you actually here in some kind of official capacity with a ship or way out?

Cause if he does I say we take it and then continue this discussion once where off this ship.

Lolumalus slithers forward quickly, interrupting the conversation whilst Korrok frantically signals the officer to drop that line of questioning.

Also, just detonating the ship seems rash. We don't know who or what else might be trapped on board. Like, that scary german talking alien who eats people. Well, bad example. You don't really want to see him again. But he doesn't necessarily deserve to be blown up! Nor does anyone else stuck here.

[[[ new scanner that im still getting used to so this will look a little of color for a while]]]

> quack chicken

You manage to force the increasingly bizarre urges into the back of your mind, the last thing you need is for them to think your crazy right now.

Amy: Isnt blowing the whole ship up a extreme reaction? you dont know who else is trapped on this thing. also whats a benefactor?
Lolumalus: You haven't seen the things that can come crawling out of a alvari ship, whole planets have been rendered barren by just one of their sick jokes, its best to not take the risk. As for Benefactors, they are the Panspermia of a race of sentient planets comprised of what can only be called living metal.
Amy:...Seriously? thats... actually kind of awesome!.
Lolumalus: Isnt it just? There a fascinating species, ill explain it all later when were safe.

You turn you're attention to the Spider-cop, making sure to try and ignore the Growing fungus on the glass behind him.

Amy: Indeed scientific enthusiasm aside it would be best if we made our way out of here. You know more about all of this then any of us here, so lay the plan out and well see what we can do to help.
???: Well First step is to retrieve the anthropomorph, if someone would be so kind as to bring her here?
Korrok: On it.
???: Thank you, be careful, the repair patch should have finished by now but her ribs will be sore for some time.

The Spider-Squid Points to the vents on the ceiling, which seem to have grown in size somewhat since you last looked at them.

???: Next i shall carry you through the vents to the safe area, were i shall go through standard retrieval procedure, as well as getting you to agree to the official secrets act. after that the benefactor will no doubt wish to explain the situation to you in more detail.
Security Protocol dictates that i restrain you for the journey, but considering the alarming disconnect between distance, size and time that i encountered within the vents, i believe you shall be far too disorientated to find your way back alone. If the disorientation gets to much for you, i can provide a blindfold that may help.

Amy: So... there shredding the fabric of time and space..for ventilation? im starting to think these guys were doing all of this simply beacuse they could..

???: Well yes and no, my understanding is that the ship, while always capable of altering its internal structures, is despretley routing power into every system it can in order to drain its malfunctioning power supply.

Amy: Thats worrying... Quick question before i forget, but are you sure were are actually ON a ship? I mean, couldn't the thing have just wormholed us to a base somewhere?

???: Wormholes do not work like that, they are very delicate creations that require constant monitoring and a un-iteruptable power supply to function, you cant slap one ofn a ship and turn it of and on as you wish, once the vortex collapses its gone for good, leaving you with a very expensive piece of junk.
Theres also the fact that the only way to make them is to create the entrance and exit right next to each other then ship one side off to the exit point, a long and slow process hampered by the fact that wormholes do NOT react well to Jump drives, meaning the whole thing has to be done with conventional sub-light drives.
Hell of alot of effort but once there in place there a damn site faster, and more secure, then jump drives, there's far to many reports of some poor sod trying to avoid a toll gate and just Jumpign his way to a system, only to either vanish or arrive.. wrong.

As the strange Space cop finishes his tale Korrok returns to the group, Naoko nestled safe in his arms.

again, Naoko is a girl, please don't call her a him or at least when in her presents as that is kinda seen as an insult back where we come from to call someone by there opposite gender.

Also are we heading back to the escape ship now or what. if so I guess we'd be fallowing the cop and if so we should try and place someone between him and Naoko so she doesn't freak out again if she where to see him.
>>

Absent mindedly correct the pronoun and move on.

I guess we do the vents things now? I've run out of questions, and there isn't much here to do but what for the space-fungus to break though that probably-not-glass.

Still not sure I'm sold on the blowing the ship up plan, but I guess we play this by ear.
>>
No. 542132 ID: f9cf6a

Well, plan Vent Run seems to be the best and nearly only option right now, so go with it. Though wake Naoko up first (while facing her away from the space cop) and bring her up to speed on what's happening and get her used to the space cop. You really don't want her to wake up mid-trip in its arms and freak the fuck out.

And tell the space cop about the strange voice on the communicator, since it should know in case it didn't know already. What it wanted you to do and how it knew where your group was and probably knows where they are now. And it didn't want you to come up here after Naoko and got very peeved when you did, likely 'cause it didn't want you to meet the space cop.

This malfunctioning power supply, does the cop have any idea how long it'll be until the ship runs out of places to dump the energy out and what will happen when it does? You can take a guess that it'll be catastrophically bad just on from the fact this ship seems to be built out of wormholes and what'll happen when their power source becomes unstable.

Also, before going any farther, ask space cop what his/her/its name is, or at least an alias or designation you can use, just so you can properly address it.
>>
No. 542160 ID: 2f4b71

>wormholes have to be dragged around in normal-space
Well that would explain some of the Time Shenanigans that seem to be occurring. If one end of the wormhole is moving at relativistic speeds and experiences time dilation, and the other is not, you could end up jumping in and out of your own light-cone with impunity.

Pt 1

Amy: Enough! I understand cultural differences and all that crap, but youve heard me call Naoko She like four times now, she is female and your refusal to use the correct pronoun is starting to offend me.
Korrok: Female?
Amy: YES.
Korrok: ...this is some whacked out sexual dimorphism right here..

Gritting your teeth you force down the urge to smack Korrok Right in his stupid goat face, you distract yourself by turning back to the cop

Amy: Can we please just go now..
Officer: of course, if youll just allow me..

The cop snakes out its many thick tentacles and carefully lifts Naoko from korrok arms, it then places her on the flatter area of its back and secures her with a lengths of sticky fiber. it then reaches out once more and lifts both you and korrok into its arms with seemingly no effort.
Meanwhile lolumalus floats around the back of the Cop and takes hold of another length of string, attaching it to his shell.

Amy: Oh hey, what are we going to do to prevent Naoko freaking out when she wakes up?
Officer: Well cross that branch when we come to it, but i think i have a few ideas that might work.
Amy: hmmn ok, oh by the way do you have a name or title i can address you by? ive basically labelled you Space-cop in my head..
Officer: While on duty we have no names, we are mearly extensions of the law.
Amy: ..huh, ok then.

After placing you on its back the space cop quickly moves into the air vents, strangely while you know the journey to the vent took far longer then it should have, you cant actually remember moving, you just seem to suddenly be inside the oddly large ventilation shaft.

Amy: whoa that was odd..
Officer: If you thought that was disorientating...
