Wooo, jackpot!

Also ask Mint if she's being serious or just pulling your leg with a really inappropriate joke.

>>266853
Is that everything that they took from you?
If not, what are you missing?

Its like you were late for christmas! Anyway, I say we detonate that thing from a distance, its to dangerous like that, the ship might be uneatable or someone can have an accident...

>>266853
Get dressed. After getting out of the room with the bomb obviously. And have everyone grab their weapon of choice. Also if it works that way give everyone a ShieldBattery to use.

the pressurebomb's panels need to be depressed to trigger, right? what if the bomb was shorted out by electrical current or exposure to some other energy source that wouldn't apply force?

Mint assures me she isn't joking about the pressure bomb

>Oken carefully brings all the equipment upstairs
>Characters are fully combat ready!

Mint: "Snowy pass me that shield belt, I can divide the batteries amongst each of us"

>Hoft ignores Mint

Mint: "using that AntimatterCannon indoors is quite possibly the stupidest thing you-"

Hoft: "shove fatty, today we're gonna have some fun!"

last time I saw Hoft this exited he was trying to blast my head off, I should probably be careful about what I say around him

we have most of our gear back, we're missing a few things, but nothing essential.
what should we do now?

We need to meet up with spess pirat bitchnuts. He's outside the ship, right? Are we currently below murk level or above murk level? If above, can we cut through the hull with the cutter?

>>267288
Pose as a team because... oh, sorry, I appear to be late...

Turn your shield generators on now unless there is a pressing reason not to do so, in which case you should turn them on at the soonest possible opportunity or at least when you smell trouble.

>>267288
Define "nonessential".

>>267288
Question: Will you guys be able to find anything to EAT on this planet? Your pinkskin pal will be just fine, most likely, but you guys have the worst digestive systems ever.

>>267288

Fuze: Pants are a waste and should be worn to keep your dainty ears warm. Besides, your Undies of +3 Fabulousness are all you need.

Hoft: Way to pose in a totally non-suggestive manner. No wonder Fuze is standing over there.

Mint & Oken: Okay, let's carefully retrace our steps and follow Don Pirate out of the ship. It should be easy since he's likely to have blasted a way out already.

>>267288
If I'm reading >>266853 right the AntimaterCannon only has five shots in it. Let's keep it in reserve for when we need it instead of wasting it on the first bugs we come across.

Is it possible to blow a hole in one of the walls with that great big cannon, without blowing yourselves up?

>>267288
>GET BEHIND ME, DOCTOR! ENTIRE TEAM IS BABIES!

Backtrack to find the pinkskin Fuze used diplomacy on.

>AntimatterCannon... indoors...

Doesn't that reaction spit out hard radiation, like the kind that shreds your cellular DNA? Sounds more like mobile artillery than room clearer.

>>267387
Yes. When matter and antimatter collide, they will annihilate eachother and procude ohgodsomuchenergy and gamma-radiation.

>Fuze prefers to keep his pants on his legs

I think we're missing my keys, a coat, some machine parts and some other stuff, it's not really that important I don't think

we have enough food and water to last us 2 days, we probably can't eat or drink anything from the planet, but I think we have enough resources to figure something out

Oken: "Ok people, I think we can use the CutterBlade to-"

Hoft: "I've got a better plan!"

>Hoft activates the shield belt, everyone else ducks for cover

>Hoft charges the AntimatterCannon

We should probably do something about Hoft's batshit craziness before he gets everyone killed.

*ding*
(AntimatterCannon is now fully charged, 4/5, 100/100)
(AntimatterCannon has 2 forms of fire, laser barrage or destructor beam)

Hoftt: "hey guys I found us a door!"

Door leading where? And by the way we don't exactly want to just head in the direction that other not-quite-pirate dude went, as that'll for sure put us in Arclite's path as well.

Can we posit where on the outside of the ship we will be absconding to, in relation to where we are to meet pirate mc. piratepants?

>>267477
Did that go straight through the other side of the ship? Can you see outside?

>>267477
Stop wasting ammo, Hoft. Given the size of the flora, I dread to think what the fauna on this planet are like.

>>267477
Yay, an exit. Onwards to adventure and shit. Go cautiously though. No pirate in the area could have missed that.

>>267547

He's not wasting ammo, he was charging it.

Though I'm curious as to why it's saying 4/5 when it's fully charged.

>>267477

Mint, it's time to smack Hoft upside the head and tell him if he does that again, he could get us ALL killed!

We understand that yes, it's nice to have a big shiny toy, but if he's not going to be responsible about them, he won't be able to play with them.

>Mint smacks Hoft upside the head

Mint: "your new toy is going to get us all killed if you keep waving it around like that!"

Hoft: "Hey! I didn't risk the death penalty stealing this thing from the armoury, just so I could never get a chance to use it!"

it looks like Hoft's "door" does in fact lead outside

>>267584
Excellent. Tie up some rope so you don't fall to your deaths when getting out. Oh, and check to make sure there's no pirates waiting at the bottom before you go out.

>>267557
>Though I'm curious as to why it's saying 4/5 when it's fully charged.
The x/5 is the charge that allows it to chew ammo out of the scenery. The x/100 is the ammo it fires. Think of x/5 as magazines and x/100 as rounds. Unless there is an additional alt-fire mode that uses x/5 to do something excessive and nifty (which I guess could be thought of as "use up an entire magazine at once").

Wait wait wait. The rest of the ship. The other pirates. More loot!

Go to the starting level and take a peek in each room. Don't open the doors.

hmmmm we don't seem to have any rope, I guess we'll just have to be careful

>Oken scouts out the tunnel

Pinkskin: "hey you guys need a lift?"

Oh man, Pinkie from earlier.

I say why not; he's been pretty cool so far.

>>267777
Jump in, it's not like you guys have a better alternative.

>>267777
He knows we have weapons, including one which could probably pop his ship like a zit.

He's still offering us a ride.

Why not? :D

Your options are wonder around a wasteland full of bugs, with no food, or hop in the only ticket out of here with the only guy who hasn't shot at you yet (and which you could probably hijack anyway).

>>267777
Get in, get information about where you can find stuff that will allow you to survive or get off planet. See if Oken can fly the thing. Consider stabbing the pinkie and dumping the corpse overboard while you take all his shit.

>>267785
And he told us where to find our weapons.

Let Fuze do any talking, though.

>>267811
>Let Fuze do any talking, though.
Definitely.

Sure, why not... just don't leave anything behind.

>>267802
>Consider stabbing the pinkie and dumping the corpse overboard while you take all his shit.

Do not do this. Unless you like the idea of being stranded on a world you know nothing about with nothing but a sub-orbital vehicle and no intel.

>>267840
That's why I said that we should find out all of those things before the stabbing. Like where there's a space port, if they're semi friendly and shit like that.

>Oken, Fuze, Mint and Hoft board the skimmer

Fuze: "thank you good sir, we are indebted to you"

Pinkskin: "don't mention it."

can we truly trust this man? I'm not sure

Pinkskin: "now strap in tight folks, we're gonna have to jet, I don't wanna be withen a 1000 kilometers when they get that ship back online!"

Yes I think you can trust him. Strap in, and remember you owe him, and there's probably something he wants that you do have.

>>267944
He's getting you away from the people who want to drain your precious bodily fluids. If the destination turns out to be somehow a worse place, you're not exactly helpless this time.

Strap in.

>>267944
You don't necessarily have to trust him - nothing wrong with a healthy dose of suspicion - but right now, he's your best option. Strap in.

Hoft: " I don't think we'll have to worry much about the pirates . . . "

chapter 1: END

Fuck yeah.

Surely whilst firing, he must've yelled "Destructooooo Beeeeeaaaam!"
