You opt to just complete the mission, and you see it, it's a low profile freighter, no guns beyond some minor point defense, it's usually with other ships in transit. You get the idea, it's not supposed to look like a threat, be overlooked.

A large beam attack however comes from above and strikes the ship, the damage is recoverable but it won't take it forever, you turn to see what hit them.

It's another mech, not one of those older ones that was chasing you, this is a single unit. You turn your attention and get a message from the ITA ship.

"Bogey, handle it."

“We have to end this Sky, give me the gun!”

He hesitates and I grab it from him roughly. I lift it so the top of the barrel is eye-level and aim for the shaking bushes. The faint tang of blood reaches my nose. The smell isn’t strong because of the heavy rain. Sky backs away from me but doesn’t run.

>Aim check: Failure
The moments slow down. My whole body is shaking from the stress and the cold and the nights of bad sleep and I can’t hold the gun steady. Through the leaves I see there’s crimson stained down Gustave’s shirt, black tie lost in the struggle. He’s coming.

The metal flinches in my hands as I squeeze the trigger and then I’m flung to the side as Sky pushes me out of the way of the charging crocodile. I’m gripping the gun so hard that it fires again at nothing as jaws snap shut and crush my brother’s skull.

>Four aim checks (20% success each): One Success
I scream and fire the remaining four shots from where I am on the ground. A red spot blooms on Gustave’s broad back, but he doesn’t flinch as he reaches to pull Dave out of the pit. Maybe he can’t tell he was shot with how much adrenaline he’s feeling.

Grass swipes at Gustave’s hand with his knife, caught in the battle frenzy…I can’t lose Grass too, can I?

Damnit.

Scream "Tell Lucy I love her," and then grab your remaining knife and stab Gustave right where you opened up his back. Twist and pull at the wound, over and over. Do NOT stop carving even if he stops moving.

You can't miss if you shoot him from right next to him. barrel in the eye. Or you're all dead.

At this point, mud clod in the eyes one more time and hope to god that Gustav can be blinded.

After that, slap Grass across the face to have him come to his senses. Beg, cry, scream, WHATEVER you can do to make him let this go.

Whether or not Grass can come to his senses, you need to RUN. GET OUT OF THERE, RUDGER.

“Mmm” Kol moans as the selkie continues his thrusting.

“Mmmmm” Caleb hums in return.

“Mmmm-hmmm.”

“Mmmhm~”

The big selkie speeds up, his cock driving deep and pulling back with a sudden, precise sharpness. As Kol clenches down on the shaft, it tugs at his walls, bumping against his prostate with each pass. It isn’t long before the mouse is writhing in his partner’s grip and squeaking wordless gasps between breaths.

Warm water rolls off Caleb’s shoulders, pooling on Kol’s chest and finding little channels in his fur. The medium clutches the edge of the rock shelf as he’s pushed and pulled across the soft, mossy surface.

The waterfall pours down over them, forming a shimmering curtain that blocks out everything else in the world. In this tiny, secluded space, there is only Kol and the broad, scarred sailor making love to him with all the tenderness and need in his massive heart.

Caleb holds his partner close, growling in his ear, “Let me know when yer about to cum~”

Casey kicks towards the deeper end of the “bath”, finding that her wings actually come in very handy for swimming. The glowing feathers cut through the water almost as well as air, acting like broad, powerful flippers when flapped up and down.

Only a few feet under the surface, the water turns greenish-blue and hazy. Casey’s body glows faintly the darkness, refracting through Fennel’s body and outlining her edges. The elemental glimmers jewel-like in the phosphorescence, like some strange, smiling jellyfish.

Casey finds herself holding her breath instinctively, having been distracted by Fennel’s dazzling appearance. Likewise, the undine circles the mouse, her eye-spots locked onto her glowing body like a deep sea creature entranced by a specialized lure.

Alright, here's Sophie's area. She has a bunch of the younger slimes in the back. What else should we do here? What should her encounter look like?

Can RSW hear the slime armor's desires in her head, or has she gone dormant for the fusion?

The wisps lead off into the woods, towards treasure - but for each reward there is a trap lurking in the mud. Skeletons, tentacles of a greater slime lurking beneath the earth... and inside the hut, Sophie sits watching over the slime nursery.
Ally path: She tells them to follow the wisps to the gummy wyrm's lair and bring back the Staff of Succor. (It's a big lollipop.)
Fight path: To defend the young slimes, she's rooted into the ground. Her tendrils can attack from anywhere and draw mud from the swamp to outgrow the house. Surely her tits will be able to smother the DM where Mirelle's thighs could not.

>>1127545
By "younger slimes", do you mean smaller and less powerful slimes that could help with the encounter, or actual children that she's keeping out of the way?

>Speaking of looking at things, is it possible to "zoom in" on the map? Like, do a local scan for objects with notable energies?

Sam does not receive another map when she does this. Instead, the sword glows. Well, it’s not really a glow per se. Sort of the opposite. The sword unglows, and exudes strange particles. While bearing no resemblance to each other, the particles somehow impress the weeping eye glyph upon Sam’s mind.

Sam also notices a slight orange glow coming from her skin. It could be a trick of the light.

Nothing else in the room has any notable energies.

Sam makes an executive decision that she will not be retrieving the weapons. Unless she has an epiphany about this room.

The light still flickers in the corner of the room.

Sam initiates another local scan. Everyone in the room immediately begins to glow faintly orange. Other, bolder colours soon dwarf the orange, though. Violet for the jurist McGregor, bright red for Simone, and grass green for Uberto. Sam is a bit disappointed that she has no second colour.

Night has fallen in the forest. Trees and darkness surround the two. A trail of small, tree-mounted lights illuminate the clearing and a path forwards.

Something moves up ahead. Sam can hear the chittering of birds… no, they don’t sound quite like birds, all around.

No need to be crude and use mind control on our first meeting. We've made our power move by sampling her wine before complying with her request. Now she knows that you control the pace of this conversation and your niceties are a courtesy to be earned rather than an obligation to be expected.

Shake Her Hand. Compliment her on the novel taste of the drink her establishment has given us, and look forward to seeing what other exotic delicacies a woman of her stature can provide. Or something else to subtly convey your dissatisfaction with the wine, while making it seem like we're flattering her rather than insulting her.

...Was that wine or blood we just drank? You said "vitae" earlier and the drink is meant for vampires, but you called it wine now. But most vampires can't enjoy human foods like you can. What did she serve us?

You've left her hanging long enough, shake her hand.

Shake her hand

Shake her hand. There are all sorts of remote possibilities that she's of surprisingly low generation or is using some other discipline or thaumaturgy or... whatever. There always are. For someone to use such powers without strong purpose is an admission of weakness and insecurity in itself, and so too is it to show constant fear of such things. Display courage. As for what to say, introduce yourself, and see if you can tilt things towards getting some gossip (she seems like the sort to love showing what she knows). A place like this is one the social and political unlife tends to flow through, so it's likely the closest you'll get to hearing of anything new or interesting or disturbing going on.

Shake her hand, and we can mesmerize her just a little. Just in a “whatever you’re scheming won’t work” kind of way. Make her do something mundane, like putting her hands on her head. We’re not so much exerting the control we have over the situation, moreso informing her that she’s wrong to assume she has the control over the situation that she thinks she does. If she tries a stunt like that a second time, *then* we can toy with her as we please~

Reiko's dealt with enough trust fund teenage antics to realize why this is so important to a living demigod.
"Paprika, means that we'd better get paid because this is going to wreck our rig. Hoist the sails and fire up the afterburner!" She decides to mute outgoing comms so Branu doesn't hear them swearing and insulting him even more. "Either we do this, or we are as good as banned from this watermoon! I vote yes!"

Reiko quickly gets to work while linked to the ship. Together, they wire up a full scan minus the restricted area, looking for an alternative trajectory that doesn't involve the asteroid field.

"Come on come on, there has to be something! Okay, here's a list of stuff we need done! Pick one and work on it! Tap the list to get instructions!" Reiko has the ship display the list of maintenance tasks needed to reinforce the ship or enhance its evasion.

To a first approximation, Branu's Kiss is surrounded on all sides by "asteroid field." It's the most massive object in this drift cluster by a significant margin, and on such a stable orbit that the theoretical exact center of whatever gravitational doldrum produces the cluster spends more time inside the membrane than not. However, active scanning reveals a lot of open space between any rocks large enough to cause serious damage, and the ship's mind seems to be up to the task of mapping out expected trajectories. None of the options are perfectly safe...

A) That chunk of nickel-iron is roughly the same size as the ship, and already on a nearly parallel course. Could use the main gun to adjust its vector slightly by ablating part of the metal, then ride in its wake.
Advantages: least strain on maneuvering coils (less than the original planned course, actually! So much ferromagnetic mass to kick off of mostly negates the difficulty of that high-G 'hook' maneuver), chance to gather several tons of cheap but fairly sturdy building material
Disadvantages: strain on the main gun, significant quantities of molten iron in the cargo hold wouldn't be good for overall waste-heat situation (and might be a direct obstacle to sensor tusk interior access), risk of splashes hitting the Branu'

Natalina's of the opinion that between options A and B, it seems like the group has more tools respond to the possible problems of A.

...Oh, a number of folks waited until the last moment and then realized this game is Pretty Big and Hard To Beat In One Day.

We're going to extend the deadline one week, until the 8th of June, so they have a second chance to submit their save files.

Also, you can still submit an incomplete game! Just because you only made it a few days in doesn't mean your choices can't still matter!

Dilapidating. "Doctors" today give cleanliness and hygiene to buildings. Plus it can go deep. People who let their village rot usually have rot within themselves. Perhaps blindness gives you greater sense of smell. With it you see the rot where others may be blinded.

B, but for a good reason.
If it makes her sleepy in a bath this size it would be far too easy to slip under the warm water and risk drowning.
So, ask with a considerate tone, not one of skeptical amusement.

>>1127365

Old lady's been nothing but kind to us so far. And as long as her head stays above the water, there's no concern about stuff spreading about.

Ask her more about these mysterious doctors of old. They remind you of that weird stuff Dama was telling you of earlier.

B, let’s learn more!

B, just wanna be sure it’s good for her!

You figure Teddy wanted someone on his team who could meanmug just about anybody. It's useful for collecting protection fees. Poor suckers like this aren't told a whole lot, but aren't too loyal either. It's a good place to start. You sit in front of him, and he looks up.

"The club's not open. Get out or I'll make ya." The words seem more like a formality than an actual command.
Ignoring the statement; "I'm a private investigator. I've got a few questions."
He gives a gruff but defeated sigh.
"Now, what do you know abo-"
Before you can finish the question, he starts lamenting his own problems.
"Why couldn't they finished what they started, man? The humans. They added mites with the mutated DWV, but didn't get rid of the old DWV."
You're not exactly sure how to respond. If you commiserate, he might become too distracted to answer any questions. It might be best to rush through this discussion to get to the important part.

"Ehhh. No one gets to choose their past. All we can do is focus on the present.""They never thought of the consequences. They had a goal a-and just stopped once they reached it. The Neanderthal strategy gets you there, but it can't controll what happens after that..."
He trails off into a long diatribe about it. How are you gonna snap him out of it, and what kinds of questions should you ask?

>>1127445
Internally consider how in certain insects, it was only the top brass, the queens and the consorts, who got wings, and how things have reversed in the modern era.

Externally...
Say, he's some kinda anthropologist, is he? Well, you're more into Entomology, specifically the findin' and preservation of endangered dames. The name Betty ring a bell to this palooka?

"We can speculate the past all we want sir, but in the end, we are who we are in the preset, and we have to make do with what we can to survive. As is, there just so happens to be an individual out there, the survival of which may be in jeopardy. Name's Betty, happen to catch an iota of information on her?"

You need to make a List.
List out what everybody needs, and List out what everybody can do.

I suspect half of your hive members individual problems would dissappear easily... the OTHER half however, will take the help of yourself and the whole hive.
Also, you can't really choose what do do if you don't know what it is you need to do, could they give some amount of description?

We don't have a clear idea of urgency, so go in order of who was mentioned. Kiara, Nellie, and so on. First come first serve.

>delegate?
Sounds like Nellie is gonna do some surveying, considering she brought it up, but she'll need some help to get it done in any decent timeframe.
We need to know who needs help, who's stable, and who's well off. We can *ask* for those in good situations to donate what they can so those who need help can get it, but we need to make sure they don't wind up needing help afterwards due to donating too much; that's not productive. Plus we can't demand a certain amount of tribute or whatever, that'll breed resentment.
We can consider giving the more-wealthy members some manner of compensation for donations. Not sure exactly what though. Authority can't be determined by wealth... priority on making requests of the Queen, maybe? There will be a waiting list at some point, I expect.

delegate information gathering; what housing and jobs are available.

meanwhile you'll be listening to your hive's problems. ordinarily this would be done as they arise but since you're so new its necessary to prioritize. Have those with issues make a list, so you can see what needs addressing first. But you will get to all of it when you can.

Sounds like it's time for the queen to hold court. :P

One backup option is that, with this many people, you could probably BUILD a house in comparatively short order. You would still need materials and a place to build it, though, and it doesn't solve the food problem. But an empty plot of land MIGHT be cheaper to buy than one with housing already on it. I guess construction experience is one thing to look for when you take a census of everybody's resources and skills. Notably, with your diverse backgrounds, seems like you're more likely to have *somebody* with whatever skill you might need, and can teach it to others.

It would be a good idea to set some people on organizing a census. Informal but besides being rogues and having an interest in theater you still don't really know these people. They are certainly bringing baggage but they are also (hopefully) bringing a diverse assortment of skills. If there's any overlap you might be able to put together working groups. For example, maybe a few of your new hivemembers have experience building homes. If you just need to obtain land and not an already made compound then you might be able to save on a potential cost. Your hive should provide as many resources to solve your problems as they do problems themselves.

2) Get the reactions from the top first, and you can learn what kind of environment the grunts are stuck in. You'll also spread their attention away from your party if the boss needs extra bodyguards to keep him from you.

3. Maybe that little bit of time with them to talk to them about the outside world and what you went through would be enough to spark something, maybe support Rae against her brother, and maybe even bring the circle to a newer better direction over one of domination. Of course we might not be able to convince everyone in the circle, but getting as much as we can might make the difference.

2, No point in dragging out the party's suffering and making Rae suffer by seeing them in pain. Let's get straight to the point.

As much as i want to suggest going straight to brother, to stop the pain.
It may be that this is worth considering.
>>1127411
We have some indication there is more flexibility of thought among the group than we hoped.

However, seeing brother fight and how he leads is important too. If its a limited opportunity, that could be more important.

1) Go see Kayk. The threat is that she’s a dragon, obviously.

>>1127339
good point, maybe Grem can wait by the side of the road until a passing woodcutter comes by to trade with. And while waiting can pick flowers and make a hair garland. Girls like those right?

No need to trade axe. We use axe on wood. Wear axe down. Then get old looking axe and wood for trading!

>>1127339
Yeah, do this.

>>1127362
It'll take way too long to make the axe "old and well used" doing that.

>>1127339
Oooo solid plan, I like this.

>>1127339
And ifcwe have new axe.
Then have old axe.
changing one item into another?
Magic!
Grem transmogrificate!

>>1120130
Time drags in an office the closer you get to quitting time but only if you have no tasks. If you have a deadline, then it seems to speed up.
Therefore:
If he quickly rescinds the order to file we will be taskless and we'll have more time to cone up with a permanent solution.

Oooh.
What if we MISfile it?
That way both parameters of instruction will be fulfilled and the auditors wont ge able to find it easily.

>The only thing I can think of to slow time is to start a bunch of things happening so the processing slows down.
>so in lieu of that lets golf for the right to file or not file the file
>Maybe if we start 7000 games of golf simultaneously
You don’t think you can start up seven thousand games of golf, but golf is a slow and boring game. It’s worth a shot!
You challenge Mr. Vamoose to a game of golf for the right to file or not file.

Mr. Vamoose: “WE. DON’T. HAVE. TIME.”

You shout play golf!

and instantly, you find the three of you on a course.

Grace: "I'll be today's host! This is going to be a single course game between Mr. Vamoose and Flynn! As uh... my boss. Mr. Vamoose will tee off first to start the match!"

Mr. Vamoose: “Fine. Watch as I win this dispute with a hole in one!”

and another pop up appears.
Calculating shot course…
Error: Out of bounds.
Calculating fairest ball placement. . .
Error: Out of bounds.
Calculating fairest ball placement. . .

This might be your chance to do something while the golf game tries to calculate what to do with Mr. Vamoose’ terrible swing.

the perfect time to go get what you need to win at golf; pants in a terribly loud tartan and one of those Scottish hats with the little puffball

>>1127399
I was pondering what to do, but i suddenly have to see a deer dressed in those items.

Uh.
Can we change the time on the computer while everyone is watching the shot resolve?
Did we try that once?
Dam,it.
I can only think in tartan now.
