Title: ED Mission 1: No legs left unhurt
Post by: AoshimaMichio on March 28, 2017, 11:44:38 am

As soon as last person has secured themselves tightly in the shuttle door closes. There's no sensation of motion of any kind, and fifteen minutes later some start wondering if the shuttle is actually still sitting in hangar. At twenty minute mark gravity suddenly disappears, suit sensors indicate rapid loss of external pressure, and finally the door opens sucking last bits of air out.

On outside is silvery metal wall only about two meters away. In every other direction you see vast emptiness of cold and unforgiving space, countless stars against infinite blackness. Single red star on left is brighter than others, presumably in direction this unlucky freighter is going to. Right in front of the shuttle door you can see outline of the airlock. Naturally closed. Around it you can see couple of rungs for hasty astronaut attach themselves to in case they lack handy maneuvering packs.

> Here you go. On your left of the airlock there should be inlaid control panel for the airlock and perhaps even manual override in case you can't get it open otherwise. Try to ignore the fact you are hurtling along thousands meters per second and single stray micrometeoroid could easily kill you out there.

Actually it's pretty easy to forget, considering you don't have any kind frame of reference here. Except the part about meteoroids. That sticks in your mind damn too well.

The arrogant prick quietly checks his gauss rifle strapped in his suit and camly moves to open the door.
"...This will be a piece of cake."

Grits doesn't speak, eyeing the prick warily as he assumes points. He'd speak up to let the technician take a look at the airlock, but no amount of bitching makes anyone actually listen to tech support. Sighing, he shoulders his rifle and follows the group.

Make sure my rifle is loaded, then follow the group. Stand some distance away and not directly in front of the airlock as it gets opened, follow everyone inside if they succesfully get it open.

Joanna stays a bit behind, as well - she's by no means a fighter, she's mainly there just in case somebody gets fucked by whatever was in here. That said, she was ready to pull out the monoatomic razor she'd grabbed at any point.

Follow the group, try to stay a safe distance from the door (with Grits, presumably), follow people inside.

Your gauss rifle is fully combat ready. Just keep your finger off trigger until you find something to shoot at.

[Dex: 5-1] Moving in zero G is a bit challenge for someone who's used in normal gravity. You gently push yourself out of the shuttle towards the airlock, but end up slightly rotating yourself 90 degrees with uneven push. Either way, in three seconds you reach the ship hull and grab tightly of one rung near by securing yourself in place. Arrogant prick is proud of his first unsecured spacewalk.

[Aux: 4-1]
Airlock control panel, or rather its cover panel, is within arms reach so you bang it akwardly to get it open. The cover sinks inside the hull and slides aside revealing two buttons, red and yellow, and a some sort of handle that is begging to be pulled out. Red button is labeled "Close" and yellow one "Open", so it isn't really hard to figure out which one to press.

Just like the cover for control panel, the airlock door too sinks inside good half meter before swinging wide open revealing suprisingly spacious room. Entire team could fit inside at once.

[Int:3] It also seems like the company owning this ship had unusual design sense, because lights are on the floor. Weird. Not thinking too much about it you swing yourself in.

[Dex: 6-1] Turns out the floor is actually ceiling. You figure this out when you get inside the airlock and gravity suddenly kicks back on making you fall head first. You take this opportunity to display your amazing body coordination by executing perfect roll and springing up your feet as if you had planned this.

"Piece of cake!" you declare while giving yourself thumbs up.

The prick is making a real show of this. It's starting to feel like his arrogance is warranted.

[Dex: 5+1] Not to be outdone you reorient yourself and forcibly kick yourself out of the shuttle and into airlock way too fast, doing somersaults entire way until you are stopped by a wall.

Smart man would have secured themselves on the shuttle with a rope or something and only then carefully exited. But apparently here are no smart men around.

[Dex: 3] You reorient yourself upside down inside the shuttle and then carefully and slowly sail out. It goes well until you hit airlock room and stumble down on your face.

It seems safe enough. Everyone is getting safely over so there's no reason you can't.

[Dex: 5] The point proved by touching airlock floor the very moment you enter in range of gravity automanipulator, so unlike others, you gracefully fly inside landing gently like some sort of space fairy. You wouldn't be a good doctor if you couldn't do at least this much.

> Absolutely certain. Do not forget that those micrometeoroids can actually go in opposite direction than you, so the actual impact speed is going to be double of that. Potentially extremely lethal.

[Dex: 4-1] You too make it akwardly over, falling over by sudden reintroduction of gravity.

[Aux: 3] Pretending stumbling didn't happen you start fiddling with your wristpad, trying to figure out how to peek through other people's cameras. You don't quite figure out how to do that. API is confusing, protocol isn't familiar and encryption also poses a bit of problem. At least you figure out how to make connection in first place, which doesn't really help that much.


Like said, the airlock is spacious, same silvery color as hull is with darker line painted around ankle height on all walls. On wall next to open door to space is controls for it, both buttons and manual crank. On the opposite side is equivalent controls for the internal door.

Citotp in his slightly too large spacesuit managed to open inner door already.

[Cha: 5-1] You point your rifle at the room on other side in most professional manner you can imagine, mostly like you have seen action heroes doing in movies. In your subjective opinion you look very good. So good! No doubt you are the best role model around here!

Behind the airlock is a larger room. On right side is couple of lockers and on left side is what seems small changing rooms. Above lockers is a sign saying "Spare suits". An open door leads into ten meters long hallway which splits in two directions at its end. On hallway floor is painted a black line with frequent arrowheads pointing towards airlock, while in far end of the hallway you can make out couple more lines of different colors.

It's pleasantly empty here. No humans, corpses or xenos in sight, nor do you hear anything but discussion of your teammates. Or whatever you want to call them.

Sharing your camera feed is easy. It takes little use of your chin and tongue to operate necessary quick menus. Apparently this is commonly used feature.

You see same thing as Bastien does, and it doesn't please you. There's nothing to shoot, nothing to burn and punching walls just doesn't provide same satisfaction. So you sprint straight ahead into the room and hallway beyond until you reach the end. Hallway here leads to left and right. On right few meters ahead is closed blast door and on left nothing but empty hallway with couple doors leading to side.

On the wall is color coded quide to different areas on the ship matching painted arrows on floor. Apparently you are on the section of the ship where power generator is. If you go to right you'll find life support, bridge and crew quarters. Going to left will take you to generator, cargo holds and engine room.

Nobody noticed when you got into the airlock, not even yourself. It's so easy when universe itself forgets you exist for a moment.

The team seems to be mostly sticking in the airlock. Not counting the angry man who sprinted ahead.

The team takes turn left towards cargo holds. They pass by one door leading into reactors chambers, decorated with radiation warning symbols and apparently requiring more than mere knock to open. A little beyond that they notice how floor is starting to get dirtier, as if thousands little feets were smearing dirt all over the place. A bit further they find source of the mess. A largeish dark smudge on floor, hundreds ripped pieces of cloth, some very well chewed personal items such as an antique wristwatch and thoroughly perforated pass card, and some very organic looking chunks of hard whitish material. Is... is that a teeth? If you look further along the corridor you can see two more such spots.

And if you listen closely you can hear bunch of tiny feets skittering, somewhere out of sight...

Dave? Helpful? What have you been smoking?

> Don't have one for you, but I'm certain you won't have problem finding one.

No handy consoles in sight, unless you count keycard reader at doors leading to reactor core.

[Exo: 4+1+1] You focus a little too much. Your mind blanks out when your amp creeps deep into your brain to do whatever it needs to do. Cloth scraps catch fire. The passcard and the watch melts. The dried smudge and paint on floor smoulders producing some very unhealthy looking smoke. In fact, paint of floor burns unexpectedly wide area starting front of your toes to five meters behind the smudge. You collapse on ground, holding your helmet in desperate attempt to manage pain in your brain. Everything you see, hear, smell, feel and taste is painful static of thousands white hot needles.

And it just happens to be that Filgres stands in between you and your intented target.

[Filgres End: 6] Filgres bites his cheeks and starts laughing when all fesh below his ankles is burned to ashes and fourth-degree burn wounds start making their way up towards his knees. Having no functional feets he too loses his balance and falls over.

> You are here to earn bragging rights, and over there because I'm telling you to.

[Will: 6] These HMRC guys are not worth of shooting. Because it would be really stupid to shoot your own meat shields and you are not stupid. What you really should do is to ensure they always stay between you and anything remotely threatening, which means you have to make them obey you. They have to respect you. And you earn that respect by being awesome you.

[Med: 5-1] You locate the victim under slowly receding foam and inspect his legs carefully. Well, he aint walking anytime soon. His shoes are literally filled with nothing but loose collection small bones and ash and he doesn't appear to have any sensation left in lower part of his shins. Poking his knees still makes him grunt so there's that. And you are not entirely sure how vacuum proof his suit is anymore. So diagnosis is as follows: For purposes of this mission he is mostly dead weight and serves best as a bait.

He didn't melt into ground, his feets were burned inside his suit. That amp attack wasn't enough to melt floor, but it certainly raised its temperature too hot to walk on without heat insulated boots. Either way, he isn't walking on his own.

[Will: 3-1] It's really fucking hard to find anything positive about losing your feets and being poked on developing blisters. If something would make you feel better, it would be punching the cause of this. But then again you're under foam and can't see shit because foam is covering all cameras, so even that is a big minus for your general mood. Smell of burned flesh and something else floating inside your suit doesn't help either.

Good thing someone is keeping eye out. Grate from ceiling vents ahead falls down into foam followed by something big and brown. And another. And third. Fourth doesn't because of extremely high pitched shrill emitted by the three who fell first, barely audible thanks to the fire alarm.

[Con: 4+1] Fallen bugs(?) are entirely under the foam, but it is steadily spreading out so it makes it possible to see how blindly running bugs make waves. Two of them seems to line up neatly in a moment. You take a step back, fall down low on floor, line up your shot and wait for a moment. When it comes you calmly pull the trigger and watch aftermath of hypersonic slug making two vexiles basically explode.

[Vik End: 3-1]

Vik, being big man and realizing there will be people shooting, tries to move aside so he won't be on anybody's firing line, but he isn't fast enough. Bastien panics when things start falling from ceiling and fires at them on instinct, despite the fact there's team mates between him and his intented targets. The bullet clips Vik's right hip tearing his suit open and taking his little bit of skin and flesh along. It takes a moment before he feels it, but as soon as he does he roars out.

It's gonna be hard to make that look like it's good for the team...

Despite of being shot by a teammate you still attempt to do the right thing.

[Con: 5+1] Maybe it is because of you got shot, but you swing your laser around little too wildly, little too long, definitely cutting the blindly tumbling bug into pieces and carving walls and floor around it. This is not a warship, so it isn't really designed to have defenses against lasers fired from inside, so needlessly say your rifle is fairly effective.

"Warning. Warning. Reactor chamber compromised. Radiation flooding possible." Nice calm female voice repeats over the fire alarm. Clearly nothing to worry about.

Moving up into Heaven would be nice. You wouldn't turn down Hell either.

((It has been less than two minutes since your poorly executed amp attack, and with the little willpower you have you won't be recovering very soon on your own. Note that my rules about space magic are little harsher than what they originally were, just to make it less overpowered. Fully recovering "mind bullets" will happen only when you go in stasis or in span of few in-game hours. Burning it all out like you did is a bad thing. I still haven't absolutely locked down exact numbers for various magic use so number may move around a bit.

My system is mix of old and new. Amps operate at speed of though and won't have any long lasting effects (usually) and manipulators take time. Especially the thing about manips is that while their actions starts around when user posts, they will be resolved after all other posts. Meaning that you can smash in coordinates in your manip, and before I roll for Uncon situation may have changed drasticly to the point an ally has moved into the spot you are trying to burn down. I hope that makes sense.

Anyway, this means manips are bigger team hazard now and amps will disable their user more easily for length of mission. Unless it is very long mission.))

The guy whose legs got roasted haven't yet magically healed, nor has his status gotten measurably worse this quickly either. The one you almost shot seems very angry so you probably shouldn't start poking his wound. And that one dude playing fetus is occasionally mumbling something, so maybe check him.

[Med: 5-1] Nothing wrong with him physically that you can see. These Mk I suits do not have the medical observation system better suits have, so you can't really tell what's wrong with him. Something mental, you reckon. PTSD perhaps?

> Not very. Reactors tend to be well shielded because they are rather important for spaceships, so all it is telling is that something is damaged. It's just to alert the crew to take necessary precautions. But even in worst case your suits have decent radiation proofing, so no need to worry about it.

Mr. Prick is checking Mr. Fire Starter so you focus on the one actually wounded person you can maybe do something about.

[Med: 5+1] Hmm. This is prime infection site if you have seen one. If not handled quickly the victim will develope very bad infection very soon which will lead to blood poisoning and other very bad things. And fire retardant foam is not good thing to have in wounds either, no matter how minute amounts. You handle the situation decisively and most importantly quickly. You shove your monoatomic razor into the wound exploding chunk of meat out and immediately pour half of your medifoam into the wound completely sealing it and the hole in his suit.

You jog back the door you passed little before things went south.

Team picks up themselves, or get dragged along the floor in case of Citotp, and moves forward giving as wide breadth to all vents as they can in not very wide hallway. Thankfully the busted vent in ceiling doesn't seem to contain any more hungry xenos for whatever reason, despite of being prime ambush location. Maybe vexiles aren't that smart. Fire alarm ends, but calm voice warning about potential reactor breach follows them all the way to the end of the hallway. "The end" as in a reinforced door with "Cargo 2A" painted on it and a branching hallway leading to right, deeper inside bowels of the ship.

Normally I would wait for more actions, but I won't because you are doing this.


This door has same simple system as airlock did: two buttons to open and close. So opening it isn't an issue. The door slides aside and reveals the cargo hold on the other side. It is a large hall, big containers stacked on top of each other in numerous rows all the up to ceiling 20 meters above, each stack secured firmly in place with vertical bars running entire height of the stack. It feels like entering into giants' store room. Left side of the room, where the door opens to, is empty of cargo container stacks. The reason it is empty is mostly because of three large yellow rectangles. Cargo elevators, you presume.

This is all nice and neat, but you spot few far more interesting things. Firstly, pair of cargo containers on floor level are wide open, their contents spilled open and scattered around. Secondly, a swarm of vexiles skittering around. Not four, nor three, but god damn thirty of them. And those are the ones you can actually see clearly. Large portion of the room is hidden behind cargo stacks, so you have no clue how much more there actually is. Thirdly, these vexiles are little different from what Dave displayed in briefing. Whereas Dave's hologram had smoothly colored shell, these ones have blotches of various shades of brown. Some have lone vestigial legs, and in general they do not have the same healthy symmetrical appearance.

> Huh, job request failed to mention any mutations. That means a minor change in objectives; finding out cause or origin of increased aggression and apparent mutation is no longer optional. I'm sure you won't have any problems with this assigment.

Couple of closest vexiles take notice of your arrival and open their teethy mouths wide open like a patient on dentist's table. They make quite high pitched noise and every single vexile you can see stops whatever they are doing.

You inch your hand closer to the button at snail speed. It goes well until your team mates start moving behind you, which causes entire swarm jump at your direction. At this point you figure speed is more important than discretion and hit the button. Thankfully door closes quickly enough.

[Int: 2] You figure that's good enough for now.

[Int: 5] In all likelyhood actual cargo doors are on lower levels, especially when elevator over there seemed to be type that descends rather than ascends. Obviously there have to be controls for the outer doors somewhere in actual cargo hold, possibly near said doors, but if everything else fails then the bridge at least should be helpful. Which option is safer, that you can't figure out from what you know.

You lead crippled party straight back the way you came, Citotp shambling like a zombie behind you, past gibbled and cut remains of vexiles killed earlier, past airlock you ented up to the closed blast door preventing your trip any further. Crew quarters, life support and bridge are right behind it. There's handy console embedded in wall next to it. "Emergency lockdown" it says.

Trusting Filgres stays on your shoulders on his own you open the field manipulator, type in parameters and start solving the math it gives you. Not particularly hard math, mind you, but you are sweating a bit by time you hit execute.

Whole bunch of bugs drops dead when their core temperature rises more than a bit too high. Effect stays in place long enough to produce small barricade of dead bugs, which also works as an eat-all-you-can buffet for those who stay alive. Swarm of bugs feast on their own kind, ranging from size of your helmet to fist sized baby bugs.

You decide to play it cool and shoot with one hand from hip, only to find out the gauss rifle does have considerable recoil. First shot hits floor few meters ahead and tears the rifle out of your grip, taking your index finger with it. Thumb almost follows, but "only" ends up being pointing backwards, muscles and tendons torn shreds. By some freaking miracle when the rifle collides the blast door behind you it goes off again, probably because your finger is still in against trigger. Anyway, this slug goes straight through your right thigh leaving rest of the leg only hanging from few strands of skin and torn suit. Every artery in your leg is pumping blood out with maximum power.

You scream like never before, but can't decide which wound you should scream more about. They both really hurt.

Bastien just keeps screaming about his leg and hand. Man that guy is so self centered...

[Aux: 5+1] Okay, emergency lockdown is first to go. You break into the system. disable all alarms, open all doors (except airlocks) and lock everything behind a new administrator password. The moment blast door opens you slip to other side, pull every team mate with you and use the console on this side to shut it.

Crew quarter actually looks a bit nicer if you ignore puddles of dried and licked blood, bone shards, shredded clothes and other damaged personal items decorating the hallway. Sign on wall gives pointers towards personel rooms, mess hall, entertainment center, kitchen, storage, bridge, life support and some other places. And if you ignore Bastien for a moment, you can almost hear someone screaming somewhere.

[Con: 1+1] You are not quite sure if that's safe. Laser rifle is a weapon used for killing, not for saving lives. And the medic seems to be up for business, so you shrug and follow screaming.

Sounds come from personal rooms section. You pass quite few open and empty rooms, some clean, some messy. Some rooms have personal stasis pods open, some are closed and in apparently use, but those are in major minority. Screams rapidly increase in intensity and urgency. And long before you reach the source they start conveying sense of pain. By the time you reach the room in question sounds have already quieted down.

What you find is a obvious crew member in process of being eaten alive by five vexiles. They have started with legs, but judging from blood flow the victim is still alive but unconscious. Middle-aged man in blue uniform. Hmm, seems like a time for heroics!

[Con: 5+1] You ungraciously dump Filgres down, take good grip of your rifle and sweep a beam over bugs and the man, single handedly cutting them all half as well as turning the man quadruple amputee. Feeling questioning gaze of your conscious companion you shrug and defend your decision: "What's the problem? He was already going to get new legs, so does it really matter if he gets new arms too? He will get full upgrade."

Medic time! I have medifoam and anti-shock meds. Let's try not to use a ton of it this time.

[Med: 4+1] You swing your razor to cut last pieces of suit and skin that keep his leg in relatively one piece. That stump is otherwise getting on way of everything, no point to save it. In best case you can use it as a bait should alien bugs get too close in future. Now that out of the way you apply nice smooth layer of medifoam on the stump stopping bleeding altogether. Next you slip single pill into his suit's pill slot ensuring he won't go into shock due massive damage and blood loss. Then you squit a little bit of medifoam on his hand to ensure missing finger won't become a problem. And finally you take a look at this thumb that's in very wrong angle. There's very little you can do about it other than forcibly wringing it back into right position, but you probably shouldn't do that unless it looks like it will be a problem.

Oh wait, Citotp had some duct tape you really could use here, you even could use his switchblade as a splint, except he and all other injured people wandered off somewhere, leaving you alone with newest cripple and the only competent guy in the team. Or better yet, you could find infirmary on this ship and treat all these idiots properly. Although any medical capacity this ship has is bound to be not very great.

No long after the other half hobbles your way in great hurry carrying new quadruple amputee. Apparently they found a way to attract more alien bugs. Well done!

What little lights reflect from random open doors you can see your assault didn't do much to stop vexiles. Some have stopped to eat remains their comrades, but more than half keeps aiming for the original prey. Darkness doesn't seem to bother them that much.

Continue to be cargo.

You keep dreaming of burning feets.

Quote from: Pancaek on April 21, 2017, 04:15:27 pm

"I'm working on it!"

Try to override the authorization, or at the very least get the doors closed and the lift moving.

[Aux: 5+1] All doors on the ship are already behind your master password, and this one is no exception. As soon as door closes and team is safely locked within you rip off the panel and fiddle with wires inside until something clicks in place and elevator falls freely down onto next floor without any consideration of safety.

Bastien: 6-1
Citotp: 1-1, 1-1
Filgres: 4
Grits: 3
Joanna: 5
Vik: 5-1

Despite of missing one leg entirely and suffering severe bloodloss Bastien takes the fall masterfully on his remaining leg. He doesn't even grunt. Stoic as fuck. Joanna maintains her reputation as space fairy and bends her knees in perfect sync with Bastien who she is supporting. Vik grunts from sudden pressure on his leg wound, while the sudden stop makes Filgres wake up. Grits sprains his ankle but is otherwise fine. Citotp on the other hand doesn't handle the situation well; he lands in wrong angle, breaking some bones in his legs and banging his helmet on wall as he falls on his ass. He's out like lights Vik broke.

Door opens accompanied by pleasant "ping" sound and reveals the bridge of interstellar cargo freighter. It's unsuprisingly empty of both people and vexiles. Number of screens are displaying all kinds of information that team doesn't understand at all. It's probably largely irrelevant anyway. This is probably the only safe place on entire ship. All conscious people sigh in relief.

Enjoy your moment of respite and try to not fly into sun.

Vent every part of the ship except for the one we're in. Make sure the one we're in is safe from the venting.

Bastien quietly looks about pretty dazed at this point from bloodloss fidlling with his hair..kinda  mumbling something.

Joanna hefts him up again, as the group heads onto the bridge. "No you're not. I sealed the wound. You're a bit light headed from the blood that you did lose."

Citotp is out of it, so you steal his cutting torch. It's not like he's gonna need it any time soon. The crew member you dismembered is slowly reaching consciousness, so you give him quick frisking before he notices anything. From his pockets you find a small disk, tied to his pants with a quick release lock and, well, that's about it.

Vent every part of the ship except for the one we're in. Make sure the one we're in is safe from the venting.

[Aux: 6+1] You briskly walk over to control panels, ignoring pain radiating from ankles with every step, and start checking through menus until you find one that controls loading doors to cargo holds. With a flick of finger and confirmation you open all four of them. From cameras on outside of hull you observe how those massive doors slowly open wide and a following rush of air sucking trash and bugs out. Moments later warnings aobut decompression pop up and various blast doors shut automatically, cutting cargo hold off from rest of the ship. You use your master password and remotely open door after door, ignoring decompression warnings until entire ship is exposed to hard vacuum (except the bridge).

Except life support; that place has fully autonomic system to protect it against loss of pressure. You grin and crack your fingers. No vexile will be spared from your wrath, no matter where they hide! You delve through menus, send commands through low level system windows, override multiple layers protection until you finally manage to take control of supposedly separate system. You let out triumphant "Ha!" and open the last door, dooming entire ship. A familiar calm voice speaks through ship speakers: "Permanent life support failure. Restoring atmosphere impossible"



> I suppose that solves the infestation problem. Now to next part, locating source of vexile mutation or origin of mutated vexiles if possible. After that I'm curious to see how you lot plan to reach the shuttle without breathing vacuum.


The crew member laying abandonded on floor groans and opens his eyes.

Talk to the crewmember regaining consciousness. Also check the control panels for camera's/logs/other monitoring devices to see if I can't find the vexile source there.

[There are things, but nothing for you: 6] On back of the bridge, on both sides of the elevator door, is couple of locked cabinets. Each has a name printed on and one of them opens when you bring near the small disk you looted from the guy you saved. Inside you find a spacesuit. Unlike boring gray Mk I's you are wearing, this one is white with some decorations, and the same name as on the cabinet door is printed on chest. Only problem is that it is tightly strapped in the cabinet and no matter how hard you pry it's not coming off.

"On left we can see Grits venting atmosphere and some screens showing UWM shuttles approaching cargo hangars. On right is more consoles and screens and I have no idea what they are for. On front is large screens displaying what is probably the ship's current trajectory in this star system and notes about ships nearby. Or not, fuck if I know. Behind me you will find representative of HMRC looting civilian equipment and miserably failing. This is Filgres reporting, thank you for listening. And now back to studio."

((Bastien's suit is missing leg and finger. Filgres' vacuum proofing is questionable, some internal layers have melted. Vik has hole in his thigh, but is covered by thick layer of medifoam which may or may not keep air inside. And this guy you are talking to doesn't have suit.))

He stares you for few long seconds before grunting single word: "Good." Then after few more seconds he continues. "How many of us survived?"

[Aux: 6+1] You bring up about thousands hours worth of surveillance camera records. Combing through all that is going to be a real pain in the ass. In addition you find a cargo manifest, a long ass list about every container in the ship; where they are from, who's sender or whom they were purchased, where they are going to, what they contain, where they are exactly on the ship and so on. Exhaustive list of everything.

[Int: 3] You figure it would be best to check few frames from every day until you find some kind of day of importance. What you find out is that first death happened a day after crew got out of stasis. In cargo hold 2B.

Yeah, it sucks balls like a industrial vacuum cleaner.

[Int: 4] As long as nobody touches weapons the danger will be minimal. Getting into shuttle and into stasis pod it contains would be of paramount importance, then your life would be guaranteed. But the biggest problem in that is vacuum and the fact that your suit has big open hole in it. Perhaps wrapping some rope tight around your stump and applying some medifoam to provide passable seal. It probably won't be perfectly air-tight, but if your least incompetent medic is fast enough you probably will have sufficient amount of air to breath.

[Intu: 1] You have done nothing wrong! You always have done nothing less than your very best, but sabotaged equipment and jealous people around you have ruined everything you have worked for! Entire universe is working against you, to drown you brilliance in mediocrity!

"Well, mister crewman, I've got some bad news on that front. Seems like you're the only one of this here ship's crew to survive. If it's any consolation, we just spaced all of the vexiles, so that's kind of revenge.

I don't suppose you remember when or where this whole vexile started?"

Talk to crewmember. Also look at the logs/vids for cargo hold 2B on the day of the first death, and see if I can't trace the vexile source/mutation from there. If mister crewmember has any info, check the logs/vids for that too.

[Aux: 4-1] You spend half minute very carefully cutting first of metal straps, taking great care to not accidentally hit the suit in case its heat proofing isn't functional when not worn. You get first strap cut off though.

You give it a moment of consideration. Getting your Mk I off is going to be a pain. Medifoam covers the hole in your suit and extends inside it too as well as into the actual wound. Taking the suit off without tearing wound open will be difficult operation.

"Hey, that's my suit." says the man on floor.

"What? Even those who went into stasis?" he stares your helmet, disbelief blatant in his eyes. Then he weakly slumps down on the floor. "Shit."

Trying to keep track of flow of vexiles is not easy because they tend to move around wildly and camera coverage is not very good, but after staring videos long enough you figure mutated vexiles largely come from hold 1B. You also notice that someone visits the very same hold just two hours after crew stepped out of stasis. You can't find any camera angle to find out what he visited there for, but he spent about half hour there before returning.

Mister crewmember introduces himself as George. He doesn't have much information for you. After one guy went took too long checking cargo, two others went to check out what was taking him so long. They didn't return but managed to alert rest of the crew about pests with taste for human flesh before meeting the cruel fate. Unfortunately at that point nobody took it seriously and soon vexiles already found ways around doors and then it was a massacre. What a shitty way to go.

"Well George, if their stasis pods are secured correctly according to OSHA regulations, I'd say there's a pretty big chance they didn't get spaced.

Tell me, do you know anything about Cargo Hold 1B? It would seem that's where this entire mess started."

Converse with George. Check if there are any crew in stasis still safely on board. Then pull up anything I can about cargo hold 1B starting from the moment the crew got out of stasis.
 Also check 1B logs/vids from before they went into stasis, maybe that will tell me something.

His best interest in your mind you drag him to the locker and have him touch restraints with his stump because apparently those are life-locked. Custom made especially for him and various programs customized for his needs. Getting him into the suit is slow progress because those laser cut and cauterized stumps hurt quite a lot, but you two make it eventually.

> Escape pods? Dunno. Probably not. The shuttle is only three meters from the airlock, exactly where you left it. Can't get it any closer. You have to make the jump believing yourself.

Conversation is interrupted by grunts and occasional swearing as Vik pushes George into his space suit. As for cargo 1B, it's on back, on top and right side if you look from here, and probably full of various containers. That's all he can tell.

[Aux: 5+1] You need aux decomp. But let's see... Three hours after the mystery visitor there starts to be signs of vexiles, fairly normal looking ones. Three hours after that you start seeing mutated ones. Then big swarm tennisball sized vexiles. Then traffic in 1B drops a bit but remains stable. CO₂ measures from there show growth that matches with videos. Ventilation system measures unusual fluctuations after boom of little vexiles, but not quite big enough to trigger alarms.

Records before stasis don't show anything interesting, but then again you are viewing them at 60x speed.

Oh, and apparently there's 12 active stasis pods with people inside.

Bastian breathes a sigh of relief this wasn't his fault. The equipment was faulty he understood why it damn hurt him like that he was going to need to check his equipment for faults from now on. His teammates were indeed also incompetent but unfortunately he had to rely on them.

Let's try reviewing those records from before stasis again. Since I've already got them and it's really just changing the speed back a notch, this should be pretty easy

Only hole in your suit is in your thigh where Bastien shot you at, and which Joanna subsequently greatly expanded and then completely covered in medifoam.  That's ...probably vacuum proof. Probably.

((Isn't that basically what compensator does?))

[Aux: 5+1] You don't quite have weeks worth of time it would require. You write quick macro to filter out timespans that have no motion and then review resulting bits on triple speed, each camera in its own window. You don't see anything useful in those, but after you close all windows you find out number of video records have gone down greatly. It's like you accidentally deleted 90% of records with your macro.

It does mean that you don't have to invest in an expensive thing to become as skilled in your character's skills as the levelups would imply, instead of going full retard all the time like what just happened with deleting all of the video data.

Majority of people capable of basic locomotion seems to have the opinion of ditching cripples into shuttle first before investigating more. So Joanna works as Bastien's crutch, Vik carries Filgres as usual, so duty of dragging Citotp is left for Grits. George is left behind with promise to let official bug exterminators know about where he is.


First problem is getting the elevator moving up after Grits gutted its control panel. He has to fiddle with wires constantly which results very unsteady ascension and much pain for Citotp. Outside of the elevator is deadly quiet and whole pile of unmoving vexiles. After couple of seconds team confirms that those bugs are indeed dead and safe to ignore. They backtrace entire way to the airlock they entered through in first place, picking up Bastien's gauss rifle on the way. Nobody notices how uncharastically quiet he is before someone notices his suit wasn't sealed. Well, not a big deal, at least he's silent now.


After the wounded and dead, that's Filgres, Bastien and Citotp, are dumped into shuttle to fend for themselves remaining half of the team makes their way to cargo holds following arrows and George's instructions. Hold 2B which is on the way doesn't have much anything interesting beyond bunch of dead bugs and couple of open containers.


Cargo hold 1B offers much different sight. For starters it is considerably more messy. There's collections of plastic trash neatly piled next to container stacks, almost looking like nests, that have held together pretty well despite of undoubtly strong winds rapid depressuration caused. Vexiles of all sizes are scattered around; from tennis ball sized to all the way as big as your helmets are, though small ones are in majority. From your view point you can already see around ten open containers on floor level, packaging trash overflowing from them. There are probably more deeper in.


Oh, and as soon as you make it into 1B, your suits beeps notification about increased radiation. It's not on level to be dangerous for anybody but possibly Vik, but sudden rise is enough to warrant a notification.

You walk along edge of the hull and pass cargo elevators, which are three large platforms with glowing yellow outline warning people about possibility of suddenly disappearing floor. What you see doesn't really change; massive number of container stacks up to the ceiling, couple of open containers here and there. Some have plastic trash speard in front of them, very few have not.

You limp to closest closed container and open whole series of locks meant to ensure nobody and nothing opens it by accident. Inside is boxes. You pull out one and check what's inside. Clothes. Different clothes in another box. More clothes in third.

Mk I doesn't exactly have easy to use radiation radar. Even the meter just measures dangerous/not dangerous threshold. So you need to get little creative with it.

[Aux: 4+1] You link your wristpad with the suit and locate various sensors hidden around suit and plug into their feed. API is reasonably straightforward, so you can pull out exact numbers out of each. With the suit itself working as insulator you can fairly easily make a program to estimate rough direction the radiation is coming from. It's far from perfect, but it is about as good as you can possibly make it. Any more precision requires more sensors.

With that automatic assistance you turn around few times to establish direction and start walking deeper into forest of container stacks, picking up two smallest corpses that you pass by. Every now and then you make full spin and correct your direction. Soon you reach one open container and determine the radiation is coming from within. Not because of the numbers your program says so, but because of the rather suspicious looking device in it.

It looks like someone put it together in their carage. Mess of wires, circuits, weird things, steel beams for support and a display in a cage like structure, as tall and wide as you are. Frankenstein's monster that's 10% clearly human technology and 90% something else. The device is bolted tightly on container walls to keep it from moving. The display is dark, but slowly blinking green light in corner indicates it is on. Behind it is what looks like a life support unit of some sort, but with a lot of small open holes in it, holes just large enough for normal vexiles pass through.

Hello there, big pile of tokens in very immobile form.

It's more than a moment, though. Four minutes later the shuttle jerks a little, eliciting violent protests from Citotp, and shuttle door opens. It's now in cargo bay, much like the one you was before, but  this one has more open space on this side. And other people. You see people in nice white spacesuits walking around and piling dead bugs into a pile. Some of them seem to have Tesla Arcs and neat looking exoskeletons, and those are the only ones who stop to give a glance before continuing their corpse collection duties.

Nice, you don't even have to go looking for easy tokens. Just crawl in and grab few from the growing pile.

Rope? Citotp has some. And he's not using it.

And in end of the not very long journey you see what he sees.

Despite of pain both men(?) turn facing each other on the floor, one with intent to take property of the other who's willing to defend. Citotp throws his rope to far end of the shuttle just as Filgres starts crawling towards him rapidly while grunting vigorously. It's a hilarious sight; two broken men crawling on floor, assaulting each other's very sensitive legs and screaming when broken bones inevitably twist in a slightly wrong angle. In the end Citotp deals with pain better despite of having more to hurt, leaving Filgres panting under him and swallowing tears of pain.

You have had enough of his shit. You need the rope and boneman doesn't. You flip yourself from under him and tie his legs into a knot. Unsuprisingly easy considering how many pieces his bones are in at the moment. While this only makes him grunt, it also puts him in situation where every attempt to move causes considerably amount of pain.

No wheels or other hover technology you can identify. Assuming you can detach it from the container and cut off some of extra steel you think two people should be able to move it, even if it is slow tugging few centimeters at time. You are not actually sure how much non-human tech parts weight, so this only an educated guess.

Shutting off gravity... Well that certainly can be done, but not very selectively. You probably end up disabling gravity on the entire ship.

[End: 5]

Honstly you would prefer to be carried all over the place than crawl by yourself, but you grind your teeth and do what must be done. At half way to the pile you spot one man carrying a dead bug of your preferred size and wave him over. Using very creative sign language you indicate you want the corpse. He drops it and sings a question why you are not walking. You point the shuttle with thumb, make a pistol finger and shoot yourself in head. The man gives you a thumb up indicating he gets what you mean and leaves.

With this your workload is cut to half, so getting vexile corpse back to shuttle is more tolerable.

Rope returned.

This is handiwork roll since you are deconstructing things. You have -2 in handiwork. Perhaps it could be counted as aux with some argument, but you have -1 in that too. In the end it doesn't matter because you rolled 2. 2-2 is not significantly different from 2-1. So...

Grits and Joanna are pondering if they can shut off gravity or not. You, being a man of action rather than a man of well thought plans, decide to solve the problem. You whip out the stolen borrowed cutting torch and get into work. The thing has a lot of superficial parts which you away out until whole thing collapses soundlessly into a pile of hot parts. Taking a step back you observe your work, nod with satisfaction and forget to shut off the cutting torch, addicentally burning away the medifoam seal on your thigh. Air leaks out from your suit and you are dead before you realize it.

It takes few rounds to bring all pieces and corpses to closest cargo elevator even with Joanna's assistance. The elevator itself is nothing more than large metal slab, big enough to accommodate four containers next to each other and then some. Control panel is simplicity itself, much like doors were; two buttons controlling direction. You hit the only one you can.

The elevator descends down smoothly and slowly. This gives you time to admire situation on lower level; entire hull-side wall is folded open into space. There is nothing preventing you from jumping into void and die lonely death out there. Five shuttles is parked right on the edge. One them is the one you arrived with, four others are of similar design, but are actually marked with various identifying symbols. And like Filgres observed earlier, there are bunch of armed people collecting corpses into piles. They give you wide space, not wanting to catch HMRC craziness.

The trip back to the ship is exactly as boring as it was to other direction. This time there are two people less talking, but two more frequently voicing the pain and lack of comfort their legs cause. Eventually shuttle door opens again with welcoming sight of nurses and transport-stretchers.
