You're probably better off not trying to read the archive at this time. Imageshack dropped like a thousand images so the archive might be less than helpful. Don't feel like you have to know what's going on.
Eulogy
Hello, and welcome to Space Voyage. Since you're looking at the original post, you're probably looking to
read the whole thing from the beginning. Before you decide to undertake such an epic quest I must inform
you of a few things. First and foremost, Space Voyage is very, very long. Space voyage is the largest illustrated
forum adventure on Bay 12 by a considerable margin that continues to grow. I mean, Oric the awesome might be longer by this point,
(I disappeared into the Stygian void sometime before it started and never got around to reading it), but Space Voyage was more "cinematic"
camera angle changes everywhere, redrawing scenes even when I didn't have to, stuff like that. There wasn't any picture of a face and a paragraph after here,
if eleven seconds was going to pass ingame you could be sure I would spend an hour frantically scribbling the things that happen in it to no effect
It was really inconvenient and resulted in a lot of lofty ideas with less than ideal execution, but it had it's fans. I like to think they saw it for what it could have been rather than what it was, that or they were bored, realistically; a bit of the two.
Secondmost, most of the images, almost 1000 of them, were uploaded to imageshack circa 2011, which as of writing was between three and four years ago. The
image links are dead, and the archive is almost completely devoid of content whatsoever. The images uploaded to img.ie and imgur stand alone like islands amongst the sea of dead links. The undertaking would be great and I am unlikely to devote the hours to repairing it. The continuity of Space Voyage is a mystery half remembered by elder forumites and spoken is whispers by sages. I like to rely on some internet nostaligia where folks remember it as being better than it was now that the evidence to the contrary is lost to time.
I spent much of 2012 wishing I was better or more knowledgeable and capable of making something grand and original to justify my work past, but I suppose the real
saving grace to the project was that original frantic effort that kept it going for 400 days. If you can still fins enough in these pages to capture your imagination then I might show up from time to time to put those choices into illustration. I have nothing but forndness for this forum and I thank you all for the time you've put into this adventure with me.

There's a Tvtropes page (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpaceVoyage) that's sorely if you're into that kind of thing and avery dead site (http://zerblex-14.auforge.com/?id=main) that has maybe 100 images added because the CMS was bad for the kind of thing.
There have been sporadic summaries of previous segments
Halfway through the first chapter. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1941405#msg1941405)
At the end of the first chapter. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2093777#msg2093777)

Let's get ready to examine the hell out of this room.
(http://i.imgur.com/qxU9gbI.png)
The northern side of your Dormitorium is adorned with only your viewportal
for viewing the outside world.
On the left side of the northern wall, in the corner, is your hibernation tank,
where you arbitrarily become unconscious once every 20 hours.
To the south of that is your cupboard, on which you store your china.
One of the dishes has been broken by your reckless landing of your
medium scout. Broken china is everywhere. What a mess.
On the opposite side of the room is your vizu screen, attached to which
is a materializer that you only have level 18 civilian clearance on.
Which is barely enough to get a new set of china. That china was a gift.
On the southern side of your dormitorium is your door. which is being
a broken-ass piece of shit right now and refuses to let you go through.
It is apparently immune to your psychic powers if they do exist.
Your ceiling is covered with various machines that perform functions that
are no doubt of great importance. Stray wires of great importance hang from them.
Because why bother covering it up with ceiling panels when nobody
can reach the ceiling anyway.
Well, that's your dormitorium.
Now what?

Oh TQ 03, what if she saw me like this.

It's a shame she's back on Mezizz and you'll probably never see her again.
Just look at those eyelid hairs. She was the cutest mutant you ever met.
You'd hit that if your species was still capable of hitting anything.
(http://i.imgur.com/1USfWcx.png)
you should contact her on the vizu screen

YOU ARE NOW TQ 02
Huh
(http://i.imgur.com/YSakmdI.png)
Oh, right. You're Sectoid TQ 02, About 48% of your species is light grey.
You're one of that lucky minority that can withstand direct sunlight
from main sequence stars. So, it's not all that unique. So what.
You've spent many an hour working your mechanics and are probably
the hundredth best on this station, It's a shame those darned casual
games have stolen all of your focus.
you can't even concentrate long enough to...
You could totally be playing virtual yahtzee right now.

No GameMonies available to be wagered
20457 Gamemonies owed to TQ 01
reconcile Gamemonie debts before attempting to play virtua-games at risk
of being permabanned from joy-having
Apparently You're also hellaciously unlucky. I guess when you lose more
than 20000 gamemonies they won't let you play games.
I mean Jebex, it's not like the money means anything, commodities are free
in your society.

Look at these things, you've achieved stuff you didn't even mean to achieve.
It would take over 1000 hours in MS paint to render all of these glorious achievements.
You should totally tell TQ 02 over Vizu chat

especially when he has other things to do.

You are now TQ04, a lower level spawn farmer on the fifth planet from the Gabronian homestar.
It's late morning and the homestar rises over the skyline to the west of your dormitorium,
bathing the room in it's pinkish light.

You look forward to your job at the spawning station, you know exactly how many new Gabronians you will
spawn today (31) in the 18 hours you will work this day. The predictability of planetary life is surely your
favorite thing about your existence. You would no trade it for anything.

(http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/2203/78126253.png)
She says they live on a space station orbiting a nearby star 58 lightyears away.
Unless they got access to one of the FTL transmitters by gaining prime sponsorship
you probably won't be receiving many transmissions considering they left 4 years ago.
She thinks that 02 was training to be an engineer and 01 to be a pilot.
Who knows, they might be getting sponsorship now.
(http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/791/100al.png)
She finally got one of your oblique spawning jokes. She remembered the Sectoid TQ line of semi-randomized clones stopping at fourteen billion, one hundred three million, twenty thousand, four hundred fifty seven. That infinity thing was a clever ruse on your part and jubilation is had by all.
That was the 100th image I made for space voyage. I'm switching over to photoshop so my drawings look 10% less like shit. I'm ready for some voyaging, any time now.

(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5465/101jh.png)

Wait, was that what 07 was doing?
she hasn't seen him in ever

this next part surprises her too. She's not on a space station. She's outside fixing a telsa transmitter
you're not even 20 meters apart.

Hey, what's this about not knowing her job, you've known each other for years
you're not that distant friends are you.
Anyway, she's a level 34 communications technician.
She works on the various telsa transmitters and receivers
that allow the vizu screens to transmit over large distances.
What she really wants to do is be an audiocrafter
that's where the real fulfilling work is.
If anyone can have anything the least she wants is fame.
(http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/4894/104u.png)
Speaking of which, she finished another one of her
Demos of Dubious Quality
these DDQs have yet to get her sponsorship but she's sure this one will.
It's just tinny enough

Uhm jebex what do you remember about droids.
Well...
Around 500 years ago droids were used for almost every form of labor until
there was found deviant programming that detected it might allow them to
insurrect after further spreading. the leading council upgraded the droids
to the Zelon XRB model. Which replaced the droid's many sensors with a single huge
red eye that leaves a huge number of blind spots and glows like some stupid
target, as an added bonus the chassis makes huge amounts of noise, making them
incapable of stealth, and added some sort of pathological aversion to spaceflight to their
programming to keep them from nuking the planets from orbit.
But Damn
How does that help you now?

Hmm, you usually regain Psi by sleeping.
Allowing your Zenthoid gland to produce more Psiotonin.
You suppose you could transfuse yourself with Psiotonin assuming that
there's a materializer around here and those bastards
didn't have the forethought to deactivate your materialization code.

Surely there must be a materializer in here somewhere.

This room contains two criminally insane Sectoids being menaced by a droid.
This is so ridiculous, you don't know why you even bothered.
You should leave before more droids show up to pin the deaths on you
and succeed in arresting 150% of criminals involved in crime.

you sleep there.

Oh, and there's your tactical nuclear missile. It's a shame it's a dud.
For some reason materializers either can't or won't transmit unstable isotopes
so the missile came through with a core full of lead. It still makes a fine bench

as far as the administration knows you're a level 5 mutant. And there's your sleep tube
you sleep there.

Oh, and there's your tactical nuclear missile. It's a shame it's a dud.
For some reason materializers either can't or won't transmit unstable isotopes
so the missile came through with a core full of lead. It still makes a fine bench
for watching the sunrise.

Oh, yeah let's check.
Yep, still female.
It's not like you've stopped your endless crusade of empathy and cleaning things
you just like guns and smoking
what's wrong with that?

You do not know who TQ 666 is. Sound's like a sophomoric joke gone awry.
There are 20,457 occupants in this complex, it would be weird if you knew them all.
If it would be even weirder if you knew someone who's on the second planet of the
star Roptullis (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1903611#msg1903611), which is very far away.

List out the Mutants who are physically fit or have beneficial mutations.

Put all your masculine/feminine/aspartame levels into one single facepunch in an attempt to jog the irresponsible's memory.after doing that fail to put the levels in the right order causing you to look like a smart lass.
And then feel sorry for TG-666... Poor, poor TG-666.

Ops, my mistake. They might have disabled it. We haven't checked yet. (Though chances are, they already took care of that by now.)

because TQ-02 just so JERKPUNCH a female.
If anything all that masculinity and parts of that femininity got transfer to either '01 or '02 going on Xp for levels never really vanish but is transfered.
if this leads to a very masculine beaten to tears '02 ('666)with a '01 gaining Female's insight trait from the woman skill tree then so be it.

so far TQ-01 doesn't have the Xp to go bossing around this high level lass. Best off make your self useful and look out for any droids.
TQ-02 in a rush to build a mech suit for 2, design one to fit those with high feminine stats, High Feminine Stats.
That way if Dema. ever tries to slap someone she would not be able to use the suit. Hopefully she wears it drains her powers on slapping someone, then be stuck in a tin can.

TQ 02 seems a little hurt at your outburst. He says that he panicked and didn't have enough parts
for a full suit of armor. He also notes that the armor is powered though the droid batteries won't last
for too long and he didn't want you being immobilized when the armor ran out of juice.
It seems almost considerate when he explains it that way.

Recap
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/2066/24149790.png)
What the hell? Recap? There's been less than 70 updates. The story can't be going that fast can it?
Well I guess I'll oblige because I myself have been thrown for a few loops and it will spare everyone spending
half an hour rereading tho get oriented. Besides, it was quoted, I can't ignore a quoted thing that just wouldn't be right.
The story begins with two Sectoids TQ-01 and TQ-02 ,a pilot and an engineer, on Zerblex-14 a huge space station orbiting the star Feffle. TQ-01 decides to pay TQ-02 a visit before applying for sponsorship, an arrangement that will allow him to pilot actual spacecraft out of simulations, but is prevented from leaving his room by a broken door. TQ-01 attempts to send a message to his other friend TQ-03, a mutant on their home planet but is thwarted by the speed of light. Frustrated, TQ-01 opts to apply for sponsorship through a holographic simulation broadcast by his vizu-screen. Through a large series of acrobatic maneuvers and clever flying, TQ-01 passes his test and is added to the roster of elligible pilots for sponsorship. But becaomes distracted by the sound of droids before he can accept any sponsorships.
Meanwhile, TQ-02 attempts to play a virtual game of chance on his vizu-screen but is refused on accounts of a huge ingame debt to TQ-01. TQ-02 ignores the refusals and is put under lockdown with draids being sent to modify his brain to make him more responsible. In a panic, TQ-02 creates an unwieldy forcefield helmet that throws off his balance and irresponsibly corrects this problem with a suit of armor that completely inhibits his movements.
The two Sectoids are united when a droid incorrectly demolishes TQ-01's allowing him to escape his room and assist TQ-02 who is being beaten by the droid. TQ-01 succeeds in incapacitating the droid by driving a wrench into it's weak spot, its giant obvious glowing red eye. TQ-02 regains his mobility after TQ-01 activates his armor's power that was controlled by a knob idiotically placed on the back of the suit. With his new power armor, TQ-02 easily destroys the droid and attracts the attention of Alpha Rauthaz, a psychokinetic and the former covert leader of the entire Gabronian race now turned to fugitive after her subordinates betrayed her.
Alpha Rauthaz orders TQ-02 to help her escape and he obliges while attracting the suspicion of TQ-01 who doesn't trust Alpha Rauthaz. More droids come to apprehend TQ-01 and TQ-02 but Rauthaz deactivates them with an obscure code word that only she knows. Rauthaz demands a suit of powered armor like TQ-02's but TQ-02 finds himself unable to reproduce the armor, eventually destroying it and building ovens in its place. Frustrated, Alpha Rauthaz, dopeslaps TQ-02 inciting the anger of TQ-01 who respons with a punch. Under the impression that TQ-02 works better under pressure, Alpha Rauthaz claims that more droids are coming. In a panic, TQ-02 encases himself in a metal shell and created a device that dons TQ-01 and Alpha Rauthaz in ridiculous and revealing powered armor, which Rauthaz then uses to knock TQ-01 unconcious.
Meanwhile, on Mezizz, the 5th planet of the Gabronian home system, anew day dons of TQ-04, a reproductive engineer, who chats with his neighbor TQ-05, a communication engineer about the status of their friends TQ 01 and 02 who left for Zerblex-14 three years prior and their inability to contact them through civilian means that operate at lightspeed. They then discuss the apparent death of TQ-07, the apparent leader of the system (who was actually a patsy for Alpha Rauthaz) before listening to TQ-05's loud and irritating music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV6a-4WRys4) TQ-04 then goes to his job at the spawning plant which he loves more than anything.
On a faraway island on the same planet, TQ-03, an exiled mutant computer specialist, finishes target practice with illicit weaponry and goes for a short walk in the isolated compound that she and all of the planet's other uncanny mutants inhabit. Curious as to the condition of the mutants in the compound, she performs a search of the database and finds there to be a small army's worth of able bodied Sectoids wasting away on the island. Yearning for freedom, TQ-03 puts a plan into motion to unite the mutants in rebellion and messages all able bodied mutants simultaneously with a call for arms.
Also occurring at approximately the same time, A morose mutant on Roptullis-2 named TQ-666, cries and writhes around on the floor of his dormitorium cell, in severe agony until a mysterious creature appears and whisks him off to some strange unknown place beyond the stars themselves.
That's pretty much it
Now what?

No, not quite. This did not summarize the situation with TQ-03 other than to say she exists.
However, I am enjoying this story greatly, and I think I understand where it stands. I have one request:
(http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/97/317e.png)
Is there any chance that TQ-04 over there in the lower left-hand corner could put on some shades, or get a forehead tattoo, or something, just so he's as distinguishable as the other characters? I'd vote for shades. Or goggles. Blasted giant mucus coated eyes, you know. They get irritated.

Oh the history of reproductive engineering. A long and sordid history of producing enough
Sectoids to fill out the understaffed Gabronian empire after terraforming efforts became balanced.
A messy and mutation inducing process until the invention of the limited gamete swarm.
You sectoids are not so much clones of each other as brothers and sisters, being randomly generated from
six available gametes. Just the process of watching the zygotes develop in their tanks into your peers
fills you with excitement. This job is beautiful and wonderful.
Except for the mutants.
(http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/3660/344a.png)
Fortunately, a system has been put in place to isolate disruptive mutants. If a mutant elicits
an uncanny response, they must be reported. Uncanny embryos can be flushed, and uncanny
Sectoids are sent off to a nice little island where they can't scare people anymore.
You are the forefront in this system, and have performed this job of flushing and reporting
dozens of times over the course of your position. You dutifully uphold this axiom with pride.
(http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/4407/345n.png)
Oh, what's that? Your vizu-pad is beeping. Someone wants to chat with you. You tend to
introduce yourself to the sectoids you decant in order to better help them adjust to autonomy.
It gives you a sense of paternity whenever one of your younglings contacts you for bodily instructions.
You think you know who this one is.
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/7526/346y.png)
Aha, It's ZA-02134.
You decanted her nearly a year ago but she's kept in touch the whole time.
She's been training to be a ventilation technician and she has some problem with bright lights.
She's a shy one and communicates only by text messages. It seems like this time she's gotten
over her shyness and wants to communicate via the vizu-chat client.
(http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/5067/347a.png)

TQ-04 should get that "iPad" replace or fixed his boss might excuse this horned woman as acceptable mutant but tablets are Expensive and any Biased actions against mutants won't excuse that. Could we get Prof. Xavier to Psicon pimp slap this guy for dropping that.

Okay, you've spared the beast its life but you don't have to spend time with it.
You'll just get TM-405's help and send it off to mutant island.
And you'll do it post-haste because it scares the glox out of you.

And hopefully it will stop appearing every time you close your eyes.

You insist that TQ-01 must be healed He's in poor health
He insists he's fine to return to his dormitorium.

TQ-01 thinks you should put him down and
try to get away as soon as possible in case more droids come.
You're slightly touched that he still feels responsible for you in his condition.
You regretfully comply with his demands and -no wait-

TQ-01 has always been responsible for you in spite of your
chronic bouts or incompetence. It is time for you to return the
favor to him.

Your hands that built this port-o-bunker

I say we don't de-summon the monsters, because we might end up still have the nagging feeling that they might pop up again and for some reason we won't be able to de-summon them again. I say we summon automatic roving laser turrets that will burn the monsters to death any time that the monsters may pop up. That way we will never have to worry ever again. Also; it's much more awesome.THIS

Not this. He needs to gain confidence in his powers, besides, who knows if the rovers will discriminate between monster and citizen? We came here to create an idyllic city, monster cropping up left and right might not be such a good idea. I say we make this place Willy Wonka's acid trip come to life instead.

A few hours ago you sent a mass chain message to rise your
fellow mutants into a insurrection against the powers that saw
fit to isolate you all on this island in the middle of the great ocean.
You've been occupying yourself in two ways mostly, Materializing
a huge arsenal of anti droid and high precision weaponry,
and fantasizing about overthrowing the bigoted bureaucracy that
put you here.
You've already collected a number of Tix 45s some anti-electromagnetic grenades
and a collection of light firearms if your charges should ever run out on the heavier rifles.
(http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5541/474x.png)
And oh, what you'll do to any weak minded bigot Sectoid that thinks
your appearance is grounds for ostracism. You'll show them how you feel
about being banished to this island. You'll run into battle guns blazing,
droids falling at either side as you take them down one by one, your eyelashes
batting the falling debris from your eyes as you stare down the high bureacrat
and place the arc generators of your rifle between his lips before saying some
awe inspiring badass line and pulling the trigger.

Though to be honest, it's been hours and you've
not so much as heard a peep out of the citizenry.

Accost them and in a commanding voice, ask them "Sir or madam, do you value your liberty?" If they answer yes, "Well how can you value liberty as a mutant when mutants have no liberty?" After that, wing it and try to convince him to join you in what seems like a peaceful civil rights movement at first.And make sure to get them to recruit others to the cause, and tell him to spread the word. Go and find more recruits, and tell all that there will be a meeting in a few hours.

You accost the verdant Sectoid and ask him if he values his libery.
After receiving the most likely answer you pull the switcheroo on him
He has no liberties, as he is a mutant on mutant island.

His mind is blown.
You ask him to gather everyone he knows and tell them to gather here in a few hours.
You promise a rousing song of glory and an inspirational speech.

It's important to keep an image eveyone can get behind. Would you side with people who wanted equal rights and aimed to reach it through peaceful assemblies and petitions, or those who tried to reach it by bombing mutant segregated schools and killing hostages on camera? The point is we won't be doing those things openly, we'll hire some thugs and blame extremists.

actually, we should design a suit that can hide a mutant's imperfections. each suit is different depending on what that mutant has.
i.e. a mutant with one too many fingers is going to have a pair of gloves that hides that. A mutant with one leg is gonna have a prostetic. A mutant with a tail should have a cape.

though starting a mutant rights movement in a society where they accept them would lead to either more Bigots flushing down all mutants due to the fear of being killed for being different and or adding more problems to the ones with successful lives. So pretty much TQ-03 should pick up the Code name Magnus and "liberate" all the freaks by attaching rockets to the bottom of the island(unless it's already floating take over the controls and toss over board every one who isn't a mutant and go a little insane.)
Hopefully TQ-01,02 won't end up dealing with this mutant uprising and if they do wish for a cripple in a wheel chair with a band of Mutant Sectoids to save them.

The roster mostly comes up with garb. You can't really see why anyone would
wear garb in a temperature controlled environment, you're sure you'd find it silly
if you'd ever seen anyone wearing anything before. And for good reason, most of this stuff
has level requirements in the thousands. You don't even know if it's possible to get up to
the thousands. Whoever's wearing this stuff is playing the system for keeps.
They're probably who's responsible for all these stupid protocols anyway.

rebut reassignments, the right to respond to attacks with lethal force. The right
to be repaired rather than recycled. Come to think of it, he has more rights than you.

Materialize some painting supplies and design an emblem for the movement, then later have everyone who joins paint it somewhere visible on their body with some slight modification to symbolize diversity but clearly recognizable as the same symbol to symbolize unity! Paint your own in a simplistic bold black on your forehead.

in all the right ways and remembers the ever important honorific of "bub"
You must take care to remember that you are "Bub" as opposed to "Mac"
as you were five years prior, lest you risk offending him.

Unfortunately you don't remember any of the names of the things you liked
the last time you were here was 3 years ago with TQ-02, he got something that
looked nice. He always said his favorite was the Gran Mungo.
But earlier:
"Hey TQ-05! Seen TQ-02 or 01 recently? They've been ignoring my calls for a while. Anyway, how's TQ-∞ doing?"
. . .
She says they live on a space station orbiting a nearby star 58 lightyears away.
Unless they got access to one of the FTL transmitters by gaining prime sponsorship
you probably won't be receiving many transmissions considering they left 4 years ago.
She thinks that 02 was training to be an engineer and 01 to be a pilot.
Who knows, they might be getting sponsorship now.
I was looking through older posts, you see, because I wanted to find out if there were any discussion of lactose intolerance. Say, among grayer-colored individuals. Like TQ-05. Before TQ-04 offers her the yogurt of doom.

That seems very unlikely. I don't think lactose intolerance would be limited to one ethnicity. Also, s/he's in a yogurt bar, I doubt s/he's lactose intolerant.

You stare forth at the strange ocular orb levitating high above the ground.
The orb seems fixated upon some point far in the distance.
The presence of this orb unsettles you.
You feel a compulsion to explore onward through these woods.
(http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/8140/546q.png)
The woods themselves are equally unsettling. They exude some
aura of timelessness that permeates the underbrush.
This forest is ancient yet not overgrown like those you are familiar with.
The strange trees appear dead or sleeping as though they have been
in some sort of stasis for untold aeons.
As you travel onward you become aware of this sense of wrongness more and more.

Whether it was minutes or hours, your trek terminates at the source of
the wrongness. An edifice wholly unnatural to this strange world.

A gleaming crystalline landscape looms before you.
The strange static plantlife of the forest withers in its presence
leaving the sandy hillside clear of any brush.
This substance's alien properties degrade the strange flora, yet it seems
somehow familiar to you.

Sodium Chloride, pure and strangely abundant.

You look upon the weird crystal mountain once more.
It stands as a monument to unnatural forces you
don't understand. It's gleaming sides spelling death and abrasion,
yet you are drawn to it somehow.

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/8020/547u.png)
Whether it was minutes or hours, your trek terminates at the source of
the wrongness. An edifice wholly unnatural to this strange world.
(http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/3562/548r.png)
A gleaming crystalline landscape looms before you.
The strange static plantlife of the forest withers in its presence
leaving the sandy hillside clear of any brush.
This substance's alien properties degrade the strange flora, yet it seems
somehow familiar to you.
(http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/1006/549s.png)
You examine a piece.
Sodium Chloride, pure and strangely abundant.
(http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/412/550i.png)
You look upon the weird crystal mountain once more.
It stands as a monument to unnatural forces you
don't understand. It's gleaming sides spelling death and abrasion,
yet you are drawn to it somehow.
What do you do?

You've never seen so much NaCl in your life. It's taste is exotic in
your unfamiliarity with it. Only in tears have you tasted it before.
(http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/3644/552.png)
It should do no harm to take a little taste. You liken
it to getting a yogurt in order to better enjoy Dextrose.

You don't even know what you were thinking.

You are still haunted by the persisting flavour of NaCl.
The mountain, it beckons. There's just something about it
that draws your interest. Be it the unnatural qualities of the
peak itself or some underlying force drawing you to it.
(http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/2852/556d.png)
You begin to scale the mount in search of the source of
it's unnatural origin. Curiosity compels you to climb further
up its salty cliffs.
(http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5003/557g.png)
For every meter that you approach the peak, a compulsion within
you urges you onward through the precarious ledges and the slippery
halite ridges covered with sand.
(http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/8073/558r.png)
And as you ride higher above the clouds and the luminescent
eye, the halite stones begin shewing even further unnatural formations.
You dare not look down for fear that you have scaled hundreds if not
thousands of feet, but are lead on by the same unmistakable force.
(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/7559/559c.png)
Near the summit of the cruel mountain of halite you reach a wholly
artificial cave formation in the rock. Fine sands blow through the light wind
at this incredible height and give off the illusion of unfamiliar voices
whispering about the cliffs.
You are at a height so that the cyclopean eye that once levitated so far above
now lies behind you. No light shines in the narrow cave as your own shadow extinguishes
all light that passes through.
The feeling inside you draws you closer to the cave, but your own caution resists.
You have no desire to meet your doom in this cramped cavern. Yet it continues to beckon.
You shew no small apprehension at the thought of being drawn into this cramped cave.

Having scaled the mountain for an indeterminite amount of time,
A sick curiosity overcomes you.
You wonder how high you've climbed since you first came across this
terrible mountain and its caustic flavour.
(http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/2812/561o.png)
You peer down below the precipice on which you cling.
(http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/829/562.png)
This entirely justifies your snap decision to enter the cramped unnatural cavern
in the terrible mountain. Fear seems to be your primary motivation as of late.
(http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/170/563o.png)
You take comfort in the relative safety of the cave. But are disconcerted by its
depth. Undermining your comfort with a oncoming sense of dread of what lurks
in this hole, while being haunted by curiosity to alleviate this discomfort.
Only darkness lies before you. Your own shadow
fills the cavern and blocks off any oncoming light that may aid with vision.
(http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/6022/564ku.png)
As if compelled by some unseen force you make your way further down the tunnel
deep into the gaping darkness that looms before you. The artificial cave bores
claustrophobically into the side of the mountain for scores of meters.
(http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/9282/565m.png)
As you venture forth, the apparent whispering on the cross breeze becomes
less hazy. The sounds resonate across the crystalline walls producing an eerie
echoing effect like that of chanting in unknown voices.
The walls themselves shew more and more signs of fabrication. Strange and
esoteric hieroglyphs litter the walls' surface, demonstrating some alien
construction that contributed to their creation.
(http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/1039/566f.png)
In the distance you see a light of a strange hue glowing forth
from a point not far. The dimness of the light prohibits you from
discerning much in the way of its source but you fathom it holds
some sort of hideous meaning.
You can nearly make out deliberate inflections in the whispers in the wind.
They sing with uncouth rhythm in a tongue you have fractious comprehension
of. You try to resist the allure of the song but succumb. You travel forward through
the tunnel to the source of the light as if being called.
Because after all.
(http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/2761/567i.png)
The song is for you.
(http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4367/568w.png)
Dozens of strange tiny beings writhe across the cavern floor in
bizarre patterns humming hideous hymns from mouthless bodies.
Many dance arrhythmically while commanding the flow of dull
fuchsia flames with their dual tentacles as their tenebrous bodies
swing in deranged ellipses.
(http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/5333/569f.png)
The tiny beings greet you with tidings of astonishment and abject terror.

That would probably kill them. And don't you see they've carved TQ-??'s image into the walls? To them he's either a terrible demon (and even then, they can't resist him), or a powerful god (and they have little reason to resist him in the first place). But they are kind of punchable.

Alright, 50 points. By doing some math, that should be enough to kill up to 25 sectoids:

Also, 9 PP was enough only to teleport around within Zerblex 14 itself.
Also also, "Norepinephrine" (misspelled) and "Dopamine" (not displayed above, but listed earlier (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1914189#msg1914189)) are hormones that could conceivably relate to combat ("fight-or-flight"). It might be worth it to check if this meter-based world uses them to power super-awesome combat techniques.

But it became irrelevant, because Alpha Rauthaz knows the deactivation word for the droids. Utilize the deactivation word. (And be ready to move the captured sectoids quickly, in case the droids are only out for a short time.)

It said in the same post that only Alpha know the word. And I'm sure they'd be on the lookout for any Alpha running around (you know what with the whole murder thing). And I see no reason why mind powers wouldn't work differently on steel than they do flesh. Besides, if for some ridiculous reason psy power can't rip steel, we can just disassemble them piece by piece.

Two things:
We're playing Alpha Rauthaz right now, so problem solved.
The definition of "mind powers" remains unclear. Does using a "mind bullet" create a physical projectile, or is it a fancy way of saying "make a living flesh-brain go boom"? I'm just trying to be cautious.

I know that we're Alpha Rauthaz, and that's our problem. If we go around shouting out secret code words every will know that we're the psychotic serial killer posing as an average citizen. While we can't assume that psychic powers are very common, it's certainly a possiblity. There will be doubt, but I don't think we'd be set upon by a mob of angry sectoids. Not so if we take the course you suggested. And while we can't be certain, I'm pretty sure that psychic bullets at least work like normal bullets, otherwise it might be called something descriptive enough to convey the general idea. It's not like you'd call a hair dryer an easy bake oven, while they function somewhat similarly, it's incredibly misleading and would cause misuse of the product (not saying a psychic could get the two mixed up, but it would cause general confusion with people unfamiliar with such things).
So it seems safe to at least rip them in half and keep our cover.

Oh, I get it now. However, these sectoids likely won't make that connection. Over here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1896120#msg1896120) we saw Alpha described as the "former Secret-de-facto-leader of the homestar system." As far as we can tell, commoners don't know much of anything about the shadowy cabal of rulers; and even if they did, those folks are more "shadowy-evil" than "crazy-psycho-argh-kill." Further, even Alpha has a hard time remembering the existence of the word, so the commoners surely would have no clue what is going on (just as TQ-01 and TQ-02 had no clue (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1914189#msg1914189)).

Yes, yes, I'm just being careful. I mean, I don't have to explain that there are gaming systems where "mental powers" have purely "mental" effects (and not physical), right? Such games will even use names for physical phenomena (like "bullets") to describe mental things, because there are only so many cool words available. Thus, there's no guarantee that a given game will allow psychics to perform telekinesis.
And yes, I can even provide a counterexample to my own concern: Alpha Rauthaz used psy points to physically teleport.
I'm just sayin' I'd be more comfortable defeating the droids using known abilities before trusting in a character sheet we can't see.

wait this is Bay 12 home of Curses and Roguelikes.
Alpha do that psi sap you smugly told us about and channel all that for scanning where your head band is then use the remaining Psi you sap from to teleport to them. the psi levels should be close to enough to what you had before the drain to snipe/shoot/cap both simpletons rumps and there Robot friend too.
Also take off the silly armor for it's clearly not boosting anything.
I wonder if she gets to do it I mean if Robocorn really allows alpha to get enough psi, then poof cave both those three characters heads in and have to deal with salt mountains with a mutant culler, a mutant, and Magneto and the brotherhood.

If true, that could put a serious crimp in TQ-01 and TQ-02's plans to utilize the spaceport.
Would the cabal also have thought to prevent pilot sponsorship like TQ-01 has hoped to attain (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1877836#msg1877836)? They might not have thought of that as a problem, since it's unlikely Alpha Rauthaz could suddenly become a pilot. It may become necessary to make peace with 01 and 02 so as to escape with them.
And then simply have repeated and humorous conflicts with said characters throughout the Space Voyage, together learning the true meaning of friendship.
Oh look, a Space Voyage.
Pity that Alpha Rauthaz doesn't know TQ-01 wants to be a pilot, and so wouldn't act on any of this information. Probably best to just psychically locate the circlet, then teleport to it. Yup.

you have a few minutes before you're permanently trapped on this
awful little station around Feffle of all stars.
You hope your crew has remained loyal, though knowing Magenta
they were probably double agents. Besides if you can secure the ship
fast enough you could just take some stupid Sectoid as a pilot.

>BOSS BATTLE!
Against a man stuck in a metal box, another passed out on the floor, and a broken robot?
It's either hunting down those two or missing our chance to get off this station. Forget the diadem, when you reclaim the throne you could have a diadem twice as large as that, besides, the point of being in hiding is to be inconspicuous. The average sectoid wouldn't be caught wearing one of those (unless, I don't know, they were going to a masquerade or something (also worth noting that this isn't a masquerade)).

fled beyond your teleportation radius and are readily preparing to commandeer your ship.
The last one Zerblex will see in hundreds of years. We're sure you'll get used to civilian life
or at the very least Isolate your tyranny to this station."
I don't think we have very much time. It's a choice between getting revenge for something as petty as a peice of jewelery, or taking the risk of being trapped on this station for life. For all we know they could be preparing to leave now, we can't afford to waste a single moment.

Exactly. So: >Agress!
Anyone noticed how self-conflicted (nigh-unto schizophrenic) Alpha Rauthaz's thought process has gotten lately? Poor sectoid, getting pushed and pulled every which way, right after losing a lifetime of work to a bunch of traitors. Sure hope she doesn't snap at an inopportune moment.

until every synapse fires fear, then you will systematically
break every bone one by one until the Sectoid is left a

You get your bearings. You're certainly lucky to not have been murdered
by that scary person (Alpho something?) like TQ-30 was.
(http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/1089/645.png)
Speaking of which, there's something you'll have to do.

You dispose of TQ-30, wouldn't want her infecting the
entire station with her corpse cooties. To think if
she hadn't been unloading at that very moment you
wouldn't have hit her and she'd still be alive.

That's right, she said that there was only one ship left.
That's probably why the scary person left. You don't know
how you'll make it there before it leaves, the spacewharf is
several miles long. This is hopeless.
(http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/1761/648v.png)
TQ-01 risked his life to get you this far. He saved you from the droid.
If the droids catch you you'll probably both be killed for flagrant irresponsibility.
The only way out is that last ship but there's little you can do.
You have to try though.

Cannibalize the droid's parts to create a tentacle pack with as many metal tentacles as possible and interface it with the Palladium Circlet, then change the Palladium Circlet into a brain interfacing device. Connect yourself to the brain interfacing device on the spot with bloody surgery and make your way to the ship with TQ01.

Reattach any robo-arms you may or may not have to their respective owners. Politely ask Leeanne to then lift any portable fallout shelters you may or may not have. This will give the hover cart an extra boost, hopefully enough for us to catch up to Alpha. And if she has a clear shot, bash Alpha Rauthaz over the head with it.
If we don't...
We could always politely apologize to Alpha Rauthaz, you were just trying to return her jewelry to her, along with an apology note that you lost while she was murdering TQ-30.

Sorry for the delay into early Saturday territory. I was looking for some way to avoid those little jaggedy edges and tried to download a number of vector based software outlets. In the end I just went back to photoshop changed brushes and made the flood fill hella tolerant. Hope it doesn't bother you.

You do realize that if we don't set the bone in place his leg will be useless. The soon to be canon increased healing rate only makes it that much more urgent. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA6id4--BDg&feature=related)
NO Leeaane is part of our team and teams do not leave their team member behind!!!!
She's probably too heavy to carry, it's a long walk back to the gate. She can be repaired here. And she's actually pretty useless.

besides wait didn't that crate fell off as well maybe it has something important to the ship. also I'm agreeing with the rolling. though best now rest going to the ship port with a wounded mechanic a pilot if seen by alpha going to be psi punch so hard his brain matter will appear in the next forum game and leeanne who may be the ships AI component need to drive the thing if TQ-01 is injured.
also the only person who could do any work on lee. right now is in a pain induce coma TQ-01 only has pilot skills all for a 'secdroid' frame later on.

if TQ-01 Fierce punch alpha into the place we wanted to go won't this lead to either finding her mutilated body with her head studded into the sign or her jamming the door so that she can escape. If she survived we should see that sign she smacked into engraved on to her face. besides I think the word Halt might lead to some troubles.

Yank pieces off the armour and Leeanne and pry the door open using them.Squeeze through the door, looks it's wide enough to fit one sectoid at a time. Then scout the area if the ship there then expect Alpha there since she can't drive and work up a plan to open the door so leeyane or TQ-02 won't be stranded behind. If the ship not there then best check your stats for medical skills because you are stuck on this station until TQ-02 builds a ship.

Find something explosive to blow apart this door.that's not a droid, wait did that do slowly closing back before it was wide enough for one sectoid head to fit through now it's barely enough to get a hand through. so I guess search for another way into the space port or Q-X the door.

She covering up the lens causes it to scan half of TQ-01 making the door open that way.
You need to knock her down so the door will properly scan you. Looks like she got hit pretty hard from the looks of it.
TQ-01 knock alpha off the sign/scanner
Alpha Mentally break down have a euphony. (I mean if she didn't act like a tart and went on a killin' spree she could have gotten off the station by now am I right?).

ZC-04. But perhaps she's not a mutant, the ZC family could be designed that way. I don't know why, but they did let her out of the spawning station and into the hospital.

She asks, perhaps out of tradition, if you have any last requests before she detonates your skull.

And you know, trying to multiate your friend and kill you. That is a not a good reason to kill her at all.I'm sure if TQ-01 had been awake for that he would have had different opinions on the matter. He thinks he repaid the punch in the face anyway.

Since the last Recap
TQ-03 had waited patiently for several hours before realizing that her anonymous message
did little to rally the mutants to her revolutionary cause. Realizing that the condtion of her
conduct may lose her credibility she cleaned her dormitorium and went outside to solicit the
help of the first mutant she saw in assisting the rebellion. The mutant cheerfully acquiesces to
her request and she prepares for a grand mutant rally. TQ-03 instructs her reprogrammed droid 00AEEF
to compose a song and speech for the occasion while she creates banners and insignia for the movement.
She adorns herself and 00AEEF with the symbols of the resistance and meets with the mutant movement to
find out that it consists of only four members.
In another time and universe, TQ-666 the sorrowful limbless Sectoid is delivered at
last to the Surrealm where he is told by his deliverer that he is in possession of the meta,
an ability that allows the realm to conform to the mindset of the metaholder.
In reaction to the stress, the blank realm immediately transfigures itself into a dark
forest full of stationary carnivorous polyps, ad beset by constant rain. In response to the voices within
his head, TQ-666 raises spearlike metallic mountains from the ground and stops the rain by
conjuring an enormous incandescent eye above the land that constantly leaks molten metal.
With the forest on fire and the voices growing ever louder, TQ-666 sinks within his own mind as
his body is encased in a shell of salt spreading from his tears.
Back on Mezizz, TQ-04, was busy tending to the next generation of Sectoids
when he came to the conclusion that his friend ZA-02134 would have
been recycled prior to birth had he noticed her mutation earlier, a problem
only he would have been affected by. In response to this realization, TQ-04
vows not to cull any more mutants. Almost immediately after his oath, he
is assigned to decant ZC-04, a horrifyingly aberrant mutant that he can't suffer
to live. In a mistake, TQ-04 decants ZC-04 and has a panic attack before running
off and attempting to find his supervisor to deal with this problem. His supervisor,
TM-405, who is already reluctant to assist TQ-04, having already been familiarized
with his overreactions, is led to the decanting tube where ZC-04 is already missing.
Recognizing TQ-04's stress, TM-405 give him the day off and suggests he get a frozen yogurt.
TQ-04 obliges, later taking a walk to a yogurt shop where he finds himself unfamiliar
with the protocol for ordering. TQ-04 mistakenly orders himself a gargantuan and
elaborate dish called the Gran Mungo and solicits TQ-05's help in finishing it.
Overeating, TQ-04 passes out on the floor of the yogurt bar and dreams of the Surrealm
TQ-04 wanders the Surrealm, climbing a cyclopean mountain of salt at the behest of foreign whispers.
In a cave in the mountain TQ-04 encounters minuscule creatures that serve to solicit his help in
reviving some strange entity in a broken version of his native tongue. TQ-04 destroys most
of the creatures before additional creatures use a strange device to play a familiar song. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV6a-4WRys4)
TQ-04 awakens refreshed in an infirmary tube before seeing ZC-04 peering in at him.
TQ-04 faint in the tube looking worse for all the effort.
Meanwhile on Zerblex-14 Alpha Rauthaz was preparing to kill TQ-01 before
TQ-02 interceded with the mechanical arm of his Port-o-Bunker. TQ-02
knocked RAuthaz unconscious and stole her palladium circlet. Quickly grabbing
an unconscious TQ-01, TQ-02 sped through the halls of Zerblex 14 wreaking
havoc and damaging property. The team rammed into a droid which then malfunctioned
so as to think it was a southern Belle named Leeanne Beauregard. TQ-02 and TQ-01 had
nearly reached the docking wing of the station when they hit a hover dolly pushed by
TQ-30 and incapacitated the Port-o-Bunker's motor. Thrown clear, both TQ-01 and Leeanne
were injured greatly in the crash. Still conscious within the Bunker, TQ-02 was forced to endure
debasement from TQ-30 for making her late.
Minutes later Alpha Rauthaz awoke with a slight supply of psychic powers, utilizing
her knowledge of Sectoid psychology, Rauthaz rallied several dozen Sectoids in search of
TQ-2 and her circlet. Droids quickly mistook the gathering for a riot and apprehended
many of the search party members. Alpha Rauthaz attempted to use the droid deactivation
codeword to dispatch the droids but was stopped by prior meddling on the part of the
secret cabal. The droids, instead of deactivating, played a holographic recording by General
Gamma Magenta that explained the cabal's future plans for a democratic empire and their
plan to trap Rauthaz in Zerblex-14 for the rest of her life by isolating it from any ships, her
own being the only one yet to depart from the spaceport.
Unable to convince the Sectoids to continue siding with her, Rauthaz detonated the droids
with her psionic powers and flew in the trail left by TQ-02's reckless driving of the bunker.
Rauthaz quickly locates TQ-02 who had been foolishly wearing the circlet within the bunker.
Poised to murder TQ-02 in an incredibly violent and painful way, Rauthaz was interrupted
by TQ-30 and promptly killed her with a mind bullet. Distracted from her revenge, Rauthaz
noticed that she was at the gate to the spaceport complex and that escape was within her reach.
Deeming freedom more important than the circlet, Rauthaz sped down the corridor, having left
TQ-02 behind.
Having heard that there was only one remaining ship to make their escape in, TQ-02
assembled a dangerous hoversled out of the hover dolly and Leeanne's power supply.
using the cobbled together craft, TQ-02 and an unconscious TQ-01 sped after Alpha
Rauthaz. Attempting to dispatch Rauthaz, TQ-02 threw the circlet at her but failed to hit her
and lost the crown altogether. Approaching dangerously close to Rauthaz, TQ-02 begins to
panic but is reassured by a recently awakened TQ-01 who proceded to use all of the power
in his power armor to knock Rauthaz out of flight and into the sign marking the lase active
starship gate. Unable to change the trajectory of the hoversled, the Sectoid brothers bail.
TQ-01 makes it out fine, but TQ-02 breaks his right leg. Through no little effort, TQ-01
manages to move both the injured TQ-02 and limbless Leeanne to the gate before
encountering Rauthaz again, who plans to quickly kill him. Desperately, TQ-01 remarks that
he's a pilot, which gave Rauthaz the idea that he may be useful. Together, the three go through
the gate towards The last ship to visit Zerblex-14 in 300 years.

Damn, I know I'm an awful writer but there was a ton of that stuff.
I'll be sure to find someplace to put the summaries of chapter 1 to help newcomers.
I'll be contributing some kind of archive to them here (http://zerblex-14.auforge.com/?id=main)
because navigation is terrible on the forums. The archive doesn't have anything on it now but it should be pretty impressive once all 730 images are added.
I'm probably going to take a little break for the rest of the day this update took me like 3 hours to do.

I would like to point out, that for the archive, you'll need to post the actions with the images somehow. They don't make as much sense otherwise.I've had to rewrite a lot of them because they already don't make sense as standalone posts. The captions are already able to go under the images. They show up for me but If they don't for you I should look into that. I'll probably have to re-rewrite them to make even more sense. My writing at the beginning was even worse than it is now if that's even remotely possible.

Can't you do homestuck-esque link-commands or something?You know what? I don't know. I'll check.
EDIT: Technically yes, if I made the title of all of the comics the inputs that caused them...like in MSPA...
I'd just have to go back and rename most of them. It's no huge chore (well it is but it will be way worse if I upload another 600 and you still want it) so my question is how happy would you be if I did? Because I'm up for it bro.

I would like to point out, that for the archive, you'll need to post the actions with the images somehow. They don't make as much sense otherwise.I've had to rewrite a lot of them because they already don't make sense as standalone posts. The captions are already able to go under the images. They show up for me but If they don't for you I should look into that. I'll probably have to re-rewrite them to make even more sense. My writing at the beginning was even worse than it is now if that's even remotely possible.
It's working now. Makes a lot more sense now.
Also, I'm fine with it as it is.

After a brisk walk you find yourself in the small airlock room at the far end of the corridor.
Only several of this kind of room exist capable of carrying persons comfortably between the ship.
Mostly for the purpose of transporting non-materializable materials that can't be teleported into
the ships cargo hold.
That droid from before is covered in blood and embedded in a wall.
(http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/336/734q.png)
It seems your outburst with the droid has killed this anonymous Sectoid.
Really flattened the sucker too. It's surprising how little you care.
(http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/395/735h.png)
The wall possesses a single barricaded airlock to the cargo hold of your starship,
the Acier Rouge. The door appears to be code protected and a hand scanner
is placed inverted in the center of the door. You briefly muse about whether all beings
incapable of spontaneous teleportation must endure such trivialities before entering a starcraft.
Unfortunately your pilot is among those incapable of teleportation and you find yourself
reduced to finding a way through this door.

You enter through the opened airlock into a poorly lit circular room.
You suppose you are technically no longer within the confines of Zerblex-14.
However, you would much prefer being at the helm of the Acier Rouge than
wherever you currently occupy.
The impertinent pilot sluggishly hobbles in with the incompetent engineer
who you intentionally neglected to invite to your escape party.

The engineer is reluctant to leave Zerblex-14 without his severely
damaged droid. Doesn't he know that droids don't work in space?
If you didn't expect to need the pilot's cooperation you'd crush his head right now.

So droids can't be pilots, or perform any sort of job involving spaceflight.

I don't think it's as much a phobia as it is a general incapability. Besides, if the ship could just pilot itself, there would be no need for pilots like TQ-01.

Order Engineer sectoid to work on slimming down Leeyanne after that do what Bay12 member(rarborman) suggested then stop your self then tell the Engineer to block their visu-screens because that Bay12 member(Rarborman) suggestion would just lead us to a trap. Oh mention carrying her wains your telekinesis even if it doesn't as a reason for ordering the work on Lee.
also can't alpha just remove her clothes and pretend to be a TQ model again unless they have a DNA scanner? Then Rarborman idea then but on there side of the visu-screen since we be blocking out our screen and not theirs leading to a chance of them to see it's Alpha (whats her last name)Riviera and two other redacted sectoids?

TQ-02 put your Vizo on Sleep mode and continue to the ship.
Correction: Put the Vizu in Airplane (Spaceship) Mode.
Also, some comments on Lee-yanne Beauregard: this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2072280#msg2072280) and this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2075180#msg2075180) suggest she is now blind, so tricking her about her current location shouldn't be too hard. Until TQ-02 brilliantly builds her a new body without planning ahead, granting her omni-consciousness and SHODAN-like powers.
Lastly, there's an alternative to the "disable the camera" suggestion. Disabling the camera would raise mild suspicion, but . . .
(http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/336/734q.png)
It seems your outburst with the droid has killed this anonymous Sectoid.
Really flattened the sucker too. It's surprising how little you care.
That there's a gray-colored sectoid carrying some stuff who clearly (read: hopefully) had business going onto this starship. Grab those cans, prop up TQ-02 in front of the screen, pretend that TQ-02 is . . . whoever the gray sectoid was, and pretend that the other sectoids are just helpers. It may be a good idea to have Alpha Rauthaz carry a stack of those cans to obscure her face, in case whoever's on the screen really would recognize her without the camera knocked out.
Or maybe have Alpha Rauthaz stand behind Leeane to obscure her skirt, since without the circlet this may be the only thing left that looks out-of-place about her.

Also the box should be enough to stash Leeyanne and Alpha in and sneak them both on board. though we might want to cover up any holes with the plan like the other sectoid saying "you're now entering the space ship" and causing Leeyanne to blow every one's cover. I take it the box fell off the hover cart before the explosion so it should be in good use.

So I guess the Sectoid who is top on alpha's Kill list allow her to get take a ship knowing that he could at very least hit a button and blow it up if she tries to hunt him down. TQ-01 and TQ-02 are prisoners of a "girl's act of revenge." in other words. Alpha is Kratos and TQ-02 and TQ-01 are her Blades of "___".

making statements such as "oh darn, our plan is foiled, maybe on the next flight".I disagree. I don't believe the military sectoid is convinced there are "evil plans" afoot, so don't admit to any (yet).
Third alternative: tell the captain that the damage was from the "gorlax." But get her to be quiet, somehow! Or (sniff) toss her out.TQ-02: Disconnect Leeanne's speakers. It's for her own good.TQ-02: Disconnect speakers and order the droid to protect us from the attack (loudly). Then tell the captain: "Hurry up and get us in there! There's some sort of strange beast here and we gotta get in!"
if the ruse works it will be blown anyway when they see that their not TQ-30Well, apparently skin color is enough for the captain to think both of our heroes are innocent folk, so it's looking good so far.
Wait . . . TQ-30 was transporting crates of explosives. And now we know she was employed on this ship. TQ-(somebody) could state that this noisy droid was propelled into the elevator when the gorlax toppled the hover dolly and caused an explosion. Proof positive that there is a gorlax! And the elevator needs to move now!

Alpha facepalm due to self incompetence about the droid, then teleport(the droid as well your self) into the ship...and kill anyone who resists your rampaging flight to the elevator controls.Well she need to be stealthy with it or they could just send a distress signal to the head honcho and bomb the ship. I guess the rest she took recently should have restore enough power to warp to the controls and kill every one.

You Attempt to get your bearings. The irony of the situation
is that the convenience of teleportation has robbed from you familiarity
with the structure of the ship's layout. You're almost certain your progenator made you
memorize the layout at a young age but the finer details are lost.
For the most part, you can remember the locations of key features.
You are currently located at the red circle in a maintenance room that likely controls
the upkeep and operation of the ship's inherent heavy machinery.
Your ultimate goal is to get to the flight deck with the green arrow pointing to it.
If your memory serves, large security platforms monitor key areas from where the black dots are.
They spend most of their time in surveillance, so if you can sneak past them there shouldn't be much of a problem.
You reside at the location of the orange arrow. That's where you spend most of your time anyway.
Your non-rostered and unmaterializable possessions are located there beyond a door that only you can unlock.
You have no idea where the idiot and moron are. They're probably somewhere in the cargo bays.
Since you never go there you are innately unfamiliar with the design of the area.
When you left there were 96 crewmembers there are probably 89 now, few of them are of critical significance, the ship could probably make it out of the system on a pilot an engineer and a communications specialist. The other members are used primarily as cannon fodder or as custodians to clean up their own messes. You're sure a few of them are pilots but they're the kind that only fly the little scouts in the hangar, nothing that could get you anywhere.

I'm getting serious Metroid vibes from it. I mean Super Metroid, and I mean serious. The black dots that take up a full four-square block (resembling the boss markers in Super Metroid's map) are the kicker for me. A comparison to the actual original map shows no overlap, though, so maybe I'm being silly.
But in case we're really fortunate . . . locate a health/missile I mean Psiotonin refill station and transfuse yourself with Psiotonin. Surely such things exist despite the fact that you used to just depend on materializers. It's your ship, you're a shadowy mastermind, you have backups, right? Right?

First order of business: check the other metal things in case they contain a bomb powerup. Or a Maru Mari.
Next . . . the memory chips are probably useless stuff lost over months or years, but it couldn't hurt to scan through them. If one was dropped by the usurpers, it might contain archived messages or something detailing their plans.
After/concurrent with that, do what these other folks are saying.

That's not quite what you said the first time. Note the fine details:
full body sentient exosuit
Hence, my comparison to:
new body [with] omni-consciousness and SHODAN-like powers.
But AntiAntiMatter seems to have gotten my point (or come to it independently) and is suggesting something less likely to end in death. Though there remains the question of what to do with Leeanne's consciousness itself.
Also, shouldn't the ship be departing right about now? Or were all the sectoids that Alpha Rauthaz killed somehow in control of that?
--Rexfelum
Edited P.S.:
the ship will leave in 74 seconds
Yes, the ship is in space now, unless departure was somehow prevented. It probably happened during or after the elevator's operation.You've watched the first minute of the first video file

The funny thing about armor is that whenever TQ-02 wears a new set of armor Every Sectoid in the universe grows about half a head in proportion. Remember when TQ-02 made the first suit? All the Sectoids went from 2 heads to 2.5, I've been trying to keep track of it more now so that they don't wind up 7 heads tall.

I know "MCP" means "mandated consciousness period." But I keep seeing "Master Control Program" (Tron). I've referenced SHODAN already; I don't need more reasons to be nervous about the technology in this thing.
Hmm. TQ-01: hopefully your piloting knowledge also means an intuition for ship layout, so spend some time (while TQ-02 is following other advice) studying your surroundings.

Take Leeanne's remaining parts and the cans to make a helmet for the suit that holds Leeanne's consciousness. It's at least what you should do for converting a plain suit of armor out of her.
also her speaker box were cut off during the process meaning.
"She had no voice while TQ-02 gutted her to make a suit out of her skin."
Still go with the building a helmet for the suit for it his head makes it a huge blind spot.
Dang we might need a friendly robot when we end up with another robot rebellion shoot if what that mutant Sectoid did is the common norm TQ-01 and TQ-02 might want to be the only proof that Sectoids and Droids can live in harmony.

Is there any evidence that she actually functions as a gun? And if so, does "pink blaster fire" do anything other than propel muffins (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1917842#msg1917842)?
Anyway, central traffic areas are generally either well-lit or have lit signs to draw attention. There is no evidence that this ship is damaged, so lighting should still be in effect. Low traffic areas, like service routes, are less well-lit. And secrecy is good. Seek a high-tech dumbwaiter in the grim darkness of the cargo bay.

TQ-01 says he'll search the hall for a way out while you explore the dark room.
You find this agreeable.

In the grim darkness of the cargo bay there is only warmth
...and crates.
The outline of a door to a room with more hospitable life support glows
saffron across the dark room.

Unfortunately, the crates appear to form a barricade between you and the doorway.
This may come as a shock, but I'm going to attempt to integrate puzzles that can't be exploded.
This will likely backfire horribly but my interest will hold up as long as the suggestions keep coming.

You think that if you use your new droid strength you can slide the crates around to get
in the door. You've certainly solved harder puzzles in video games.
(http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/576/811u.png)
You push one of the boxes around so that you gain access to an angle to push another box.
(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/5111/812k.png)
Then you push that box out of the way, clearing a path to the other side of the room.
That wasn't so hard.

You find yourself near the door
It seems to be one that opens vertically.
But how do you open it?

Tug at it from the side then, until you have shifted it enough to your fingers in the gap so that you can slide it back a little. Or clamber on top of the crate, then brace your back against the wall and use your feet to move it.This. Failing that, try forcing the door open.

Yes, that's what I was thinking with the "rotate the box" option. There are other possibilities, depending on just how strong TQ-02 is now:
Spoiler: The original map (click to show/hide)
Note the slim areas of empty space near the top left; one in the very top row, one below it. Try these conditional statements:
Can TQ-02 climb on the first layer of crates? And is TQ-02's droid strength enough to move two crates at once? If so, climb up in the top left corner and push all second-story crates out of the way. ("Out of the way" is probably towards the bottom of the room.) Check the newly-revealed empty spaces for useful access to these last stubborn crates.
If TQ-02 can't climb, but his droid strength is enough to move a whopping four crates (edit: or five!), push second-from-top row to the left, then check for useful empty space in the top row. If there is no useful space, push top row to the left, which will uncover a partial box width of wall space at the control panel.
If that's not enough room to do anything . . . this room is toast. Gridlock.

No, that's what would have worked, had it been done at the start. Now the map . . .

Thank you. And yup, unless that slack space in the top left is useful, this room is in gridlock. I will update my previous stuff with this notation:
First, push 5, 6, and 7 to the bottom of the room.
Now, can TQ-02 climb on the first layer of crates? And is TQ-02's droid strength enough to move two crates at once? If so, climb up in the top left corner and push 4, C, D, and preferably B to the bottom of the room. There should be various ways to at least get C and D. Then check the newly-revealed empty spaces for useful access to these last stubborn crates.
If TQ-02 can't climb, but his droid strength is enough to move a whopping five crates, push the whole row with 2 in it to the left, then check for useful empty space in the row with 1. If there is no useful space, push row with 1 to the left, which will uncover a partial box width of wall space at the control panel. This is a last resort, since if nothing else works then this will eliminate other moves.

The panel contains three unmarked buttons and a circle scanner.
I want to be perfectly clear on what the "circle scanner" is. What is the scanning surface? Is it the entire circular space? And if so, is it noticeably larger or smaller than a Sectoid eye?
Is the scanning surface actually that sort of ring-shape we can see within the larger circle? Is it the tiny dot at the center of the circle? Or are both of these features just graphic details, without functional significance?
Is the scanning surface completely flat, or does it have a "keyhole" component?
As to the buttons, I'd guess that the two rectangles are a simple "raise/lower" pair. That's the most logical if someone didn't bother to label them. The remaining button may serve as "warm up scanner," "lock/unlock," or "call for help." I would recommend against touching this last one until more is known about the others.

Well . . . I just inquired as to whether there were any divots and such in the scanner. I didn't get much of a response. I might encourage a methodical pressing of buttons, this time without an eye in front of the scanner, to see which ones prompt the scan.
Also, when it comes to "blasting the scanner," I'm reminded of Luke Skywalker blasting the bridge extension control and immediately regretting it. Not to mention that we have no reason to believe that this suit has "blast" capabilities. And TQ-01 doesn't trust TQ-02 with the Leeannalyzer. (It needs a name, whatever.)

If it's not somebody you recognize, then warn them to keep any and all appendages where you can see them; you've had a very trying day.

Shoving a gun in their face will bite us in the ass if we need them later. Don't threaten to shoot them, threaten to shoot yourself instead.

Next:
I suddenly have a bad feeling... Ask the droid what he told them in order to get them here.
It wasn't the droid (named 00AEEF, for reference). It was the green Sectoid (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1980260#msg1980260), who himself looks uncomfortable right now. Let's hope the discomfort can be resolved quickly.
Could it be that yogurt is taken as a symbol of the oppressive "non-mutant" majority, and so all these mutants naturally despise it? This shouldn't be the case, since that green Sectoid didn't even think of himself as oppressed until TQ-03 spoke with him about it. I repeat, get forward momentum. Be nice. Offer food shovels. Listen to any complaints about the dietary selection. Forward revolutionary agenda. Et cetera et cetera et cetera.

Well, we've been on top of this since the beginning. There are the reasons which SC-412 already gathered: as far as the administration knows you're a level 5 mutant (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1907859#msg1907859), and meanwhile you've amassed a huge arsenal of anti-droid and high-precision weaponry (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1979219#msg1979219). The immediate challenges in battle are under control, especially considering the element of surprise.
Then there are the advantages inherent to recruiting a mutant population. There are two: first, the counter-insurgency forces will continue to underestimate the mutants, assuming that mutants are inferior. They do not realize that out of 10102 eligible candidates for the war effort (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1908597#msg1908597), thousands are guilty only of being so-called "ugly." Second, and more importantly, over a thousand Sectoids have improved abilities.
Improved, you say dramatically! Years of unjust bias have carelessly exiled onto this island a veritable army of Sectoids with abilities beyond anything society has known! The advantage held by an army of mutants is simply their mutations themselves!
(And try not to say anything about the "uncanny one" at this time!)

It's not a problem. I just want to be clear on this. So that, you know, there aren't any surprises down the line.
Also, it would appear that full recruitment may depend on majority opinion. I recommend that all door-to-door recruitment involve recruitment teams, not lonely individuals. In fact, I'd say initial recruitment should involve the whole group together with no splitting up. This way everyone can build a collective approach and ideology.
But first, distribute those art supplies (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1986110#msg1986110) and have a fun bonding experience over symbol painting!

There was going to be a bonding montage but my power went out so try to imagine it with your imagination.

The FETMUI.

Guys, WE're fighting to not be outcasts, or, mutants
So I think we should be call The Foundation for the Equal Treatment of Underpriveleged Sectoids
Or FETUS for short.

You go to your vizu-screen terminal to compose an acceptable name for your
revolutionary movement.
A name that embodies what you stand for while not arising implications
you might want to discard later
Ultimately you decide on Foundation for the Equal Treatment of Underprivileged Sectoids
as the name of your organization. The name embodies your representation of the
mutant Sectoids who lack privileges.
(http://i.imgur.com/9KBCs.gif)
You transmit the name to the digi-banners which
brazenly display the initials of your organization across their electronic surfaces.
(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3820/869.png)
Armed with your symbols and enthusiasm you are left with one final decision.
Do you set out first to tower 3 where the largest concentration of benefited mutants are? or do you begin recruiting here in tower 2 to acquire a sufficient movement to recruit the mutants of tower 3?
Or are there other things you forgot.
Being a character with more than an abysmal responsibility rating I've opted to do more than the assume the most idiotic possible sequence of choices. Unfortunately it's not high flying and interesting. I swear I'll think of some cool stuff tomorrow after all the logistics have been drawn.

Alright, location review for those who've forgotten (like me and the author):
Of course your door opens, you just don't have anywhere to go.
You suppose it's kind of nice that it's near the tower 2 centrifuge balcony exit.
It's kind of nice to watch the sunset from the 21st story.
(http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/738/234v.png)
We're in tower 2. Also, for reference, this image establishes that tower 2 is the middle one in the above:
(http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/7528/235w.png)
I say recruit in tower 2 to start. We don't know if these particular Sectoids get tired easily, so it would be a shame to tire them with lots of walking right after getting them to sign up. With that in mind, set an established break time for later, to keep grumbling to a minimum. Perhaps we're near the end of the MCP. But before we start, check our droid pal for any useful input (or hints of rebellion).
By the way, I'm working on a quick link scene guide to the whole thread. I'm up to the first recap. Shall I post my incomplete work, or wait until I'm done?

But while nitpicking the author to the point of insanity, I made a quick-link scene guide with page numbers and faux titles. Yes, I'm crazy, so I did a page count. When I link to a post, I cite the number of the panel at the scene change. Note that this page number differs from the count on the Zerblex-14 website (http://zerblex-14.auforge.com/). It also differs from the file names: the author switched to Photoshop upon the "100th image," (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1883853#msg1883853) but I counted it as "113" of the total.

The whole hundred image thing was a result of me giving some animated gifs unnumbered names and my hilarious way of recycling images like nobody's business. remember the all purpose panel (http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/2420/99899610.png) I tried to add to almost every update, that and the templates I used contributed a lot to that.
As far as nitpicking goes, I'm surprised you never caught me retconning Gabronia to Mezizz, I think I've got all of them now, but it probably still says the wrong thing in some of that unreadable language that I use everywhere. Oh and it was totally Zerblax-12 until I'd realized I'd been using Zerblex-14 for around 3 pages and didn't want to go back.
In short, I'm a hack and we can look forward to hundreds of more inconsistencies in the future because storywise we're still on chapter 2.

No it isn't, you wouldn't put a quadruple amputee on your baseball team, would you?
Oh, and check to see if there are any new additions to our community. If they're new and don't know anyone we could make ourselves out be the 'coolkids' so to speak, and offer them entrance into our circle.

It has been a long time since we told a Sectoid to wipe away tears. A clearer measure of the decline of the storytelling medium has never been found.
As far as nitpicking goes, I'm surprised you never caught me retconning Gabronia to Mezizz
I saw the names occasionally, but they looked to be used differently: "the Gabronian home star" versus "being on Mezizz." No clear conflict. So . . . what words should we use?
Now: playing.

I say: hold a brief conversation and introduce both of them. If MS-40001 does not react poorly/nervously to either (after all, the hair may blind him) hand off RF-5271923.

As far as nitpicking goes, I'm surprised you never caught me retconning Gabronia to Mezizz
I saw the names occasionally, but they looked to be used differently: "the Gabronian home star" versus "being on Mezizz." No clear conflict. So . . . what words should we use?
I fear for the nose.

Excellent, nothing like being told that my retconning worked and that there is no longer any definitive evidence of me screwing with continuity.

Okay, we got a winner. Can we get this guy to sing over the intercom system to speed things up a bit? Or split up the group? One by one is way too slow...
Also, start an inventory of mutations and special skills of our members that will give us an edge. We should've known this before.

No, no, we just started. We don't yet have any measure of "slow." In fact, if MS-40001's tears indicate his being swayed to our cause (instead of, you know, being allergic to music), then I would argue that recruitment has been fast. First we establish a baseline for progress and give our numbers a boost, and by the end of the MCP we'll have an Elite Team of Convincers (ETC.) ready to expand and speed up operations.
And then, we've got all sorts of good ideas:
> Record this guy singing
Also, start an inventory of mutations and special skills of our members that will give us an edge. We should've known this before.
Oh, and check to see if there are any new additions to our community. . . . They'd have no choice but to join us, being new in the community and not knowing anyone.
I say montage through the initial plan for the rest of the MCP, then retire and do some of the above clerical work privately. And then, once a new day dawns, do one-on-one work with mutants like RF-5271923 who are found to have special skills. Once we know what the "special skills" are (if any), there may be a need for new planning.

You jut had a brilliant idea involving RF-5271923.
His effect on MS-40001 cannot be ignored.
You inform him of his new found usefulness.

You quickly bring RF-5271923 back to your room, which was very closely nearby.
As you pass you tell TQ-8675309 and SC-412 to keep up the work in your brief absence.
You are obviously a great leader.

You immediately begin to record RF-5271923's heartful sinewy melodies.
Forget that other song that you had, RF-5271923 will be the voice of F.E.T.U.S.
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/8650/882.png)
You want to make this song remembered though. You do a little modification afterward.
While you might not know anything about music per se, you know a little bit about how
the mind works and what's popular in the times.
You spend over half an hour modifying the anthem for maximum retention before distributing it to
the vizu-screens of every able bodied Sectoid like you did earlier this MCP.

And while on that subject, I thought of something else now that our exiled mutant computer specialist (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1941405#msg1941405) has modified the music to have Super Brain Powers. Do not, under any circumstances, discover that the modified music transforms all able-bodied Sectoids into horrible Sectoid zombies, leaving you and your team of would-be "saviours" to face a nightmare of destruction.

RF-5271923 was an audiocrafter of some sort he had prepared several demos
but was deported here after his appearance induced uncanny reactions from
the sponsorship manager.
TS-419 had selected his lot in terramaintenance and eco-construction before his
hue disturbed his spawning overseer's supervisor and he was sentence to the island.
He never received any training.
TQ-8675309 worked in intraplanetary communications for several years before being
ostracized due to her mutation.
SC-412 isn't even a mutant, she worked on a spaceship in navigation for several decades
before receiving her grizzly scar which bothered her crew mates enough to leave her here.
WY-88 trained for ten days as a yogurt vendor until his friendly smile was revealed and he was promptly
sent here three days ago.
RT-9761234 was a irrigation repair technician for several years before any of her
superiors became unsettled by her strange gaze.
TX-4445445 received basic training over a 40 day period to oversee the maintenance of some of
the trans-oceanic hover lines before he was deemed unsettling and sent here.
XV-15 Ran safety conditions on a factory that produced nuclear batteries for interplanetary ferries
for a number of years and his skin condition was never noticed by the droids until he was assigned a new
assistant who found his pustules unnerving.
He seems uncomfortable with your smokestick.

Put the smokestick away, for now. That's for later. Take a stance, get ready... Action Sequence!
Put WY-88 in charge of yogurt and other food and drink distribution. Make sure to have reserves in case the replicator is shut down.
RF-5271923 is now in charge of propaganda songs, TQ-8675309 will help him in distribution and spreading it around through various media.
TS-419 will remain your right hand. His hue is soothing.
SC-412 will make a plan on how the teams will efficiently move through the buildings to recruit more people faster.
TX-4445445, RT-9761234 and XV-15 shall go door-to-door to spread the word and recruit more people.
You and TS-419 shall go find the "interesting" mutations. The sectoids who will make a real difference.
When that is in motion, we should switch characters again.

Anyway, I support the above plan. Also, the technical knowledge of TQ-8675309 (communications), SC-412 (ship navigation), TX-4445445 (hover-something maintenance), and XV-15 (nuclear batteries?) will be very useful in later stages when planning to get the mutants off of the island. Do not ostracize them. Also, anyone with clerical skills (the "clerk" definition of the term, thank you) shall assigned to keeping a roster. Possibly 00AEEF.

uhh not only that they do send insane Sectoids down to mutie isle even when they come out fine.
kratos was normal lass who just got badly scarred just think about what they will do to a mentally scarred one like TQ-04.
also ZC-04 is the fourth of her kind so there at least 3 other versions of her doing their jobs TQ-42 must have a list of sectoid types and their traits on his vezo and all their different acceptable traits.

Ask if you can use a Mirror. then ask if there a ZC brand of Sectoid?

He wonders why you'd ask him something like this as he learned it in the

He also asks if you want to come inside and get a drink of water or something.

Beh, I changed the hand image back. But I was feeling less lenient about the whole not being near a balcony thing. I thought I could get away with drawing him outside then drawing him inside and let the connection be made that he moved. Maybe I have to be more obvious.
I'm finding it strange that so much calling of mutant is for these relatively small aberrations when TQ-01 had round head for half of the first 30 panels. I'm somewhat pleased that expectations have grown.

The amount of sense-making has decreased noticeably in the last few posts.
Anyway, I was hoping for some Blade Runner-esque testing to see TQ-42's emotional/intellectual reaction to mutant-related questions. Instead, blah blah general policy blah. Come on! Ask whether TQ-42 has had to flush any mutants recently, how he felt about doing so, and whether he thinks he might have a high tolerance for the uncanny. Another line of inquiry: ask how many total he thinks he has flushed, ask him to look at his record (like you did) to see exactly how many.

flushing is a transport to the third isle which properly grows the flushed sectoids and sets them along their way.

nothing ZC-04 was the first thing he heard about and the chance he lose his favoring to this h he would never been this serious until TC-04 mention that name.

TQ-42, you're just completely bonkers.
Ah, fuck it, a ZC-04, new rule, ZC's don't get to be plot points you'll have to just make fun of my yogurt allergies and inability to remember where my tablet is.
Realize that all of this ALL OF THIS was a big yogurt high waste of time as your coming off the deluded state of yogurt explain your self to TC-42 and return home.

ZC-04 could jeopardize it so much.
. . .
TQ-42 laughs slightly and says that you don't understand
I find it very likely that "not understanding" means the opening prompt should be reversed. Instead of ZC-04 jeopardizing the work, ZC-04 could be essential to it. If TQ-42 is going for the "greater essence permeating the universe," it is plausible that ZC-04 is intended to open the metaphorical gateway. Perhaps the "essence" is related to the Surrealm and/or the glorious dream city of Shabalash (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1971710#msg1971710), and this mutant has super-awesome psychic powers. Perhaps the "yogurt coma" wasn't purely due to the (stupid) Gran Mungo, but also residual psychic effects.
Proclaim that TQ-42's enthusiasm is making you feel uncomfortable and that if this is going to turn into a transcendental meditation party with a triangular-jawed hair-fiend then you're going to start slapping folks.

You want nothing of this conversation.
You slap TQ-42 across the face.
(http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/6654/922.png)
TQ-42 apparently finds this a prompt for further explanation.
TQ-42 insincerely apologizes and remarks that he will
continue on with is explanation unabated.
He proclaims knowledge of a great and distant entity.
Great in power and predominantly but not entirely alien.
He has done research and found no previously existant
recievings that can explain what he was contacted by.
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/3622/923ep.png)
He came into contact with the entity half a century ago in a strange
tube phantasy brought about by unknown conditions.
He profesed to have communicated with the entity in an alien
environment in some subliminal fashion in which he could not perceive
absolutes of language but a massive and nebulous stockpile of knowledge.
When he was startled awake he noticed an eldrich material
within his dormitorium that evaporated before he was able to have it examined.
TQ-42 had sought to repeat the conditions of the phantasy but never succeeded.
He claimed to have sought other measures but ran into technical hurdles.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/5269/924.png)
TQ-42 professes that interspecies communication between such
an entity could be impossible directly. He is reminded of the
Pstchithxchs debacle that was solved without diplomacy between
lifeforms of relatively similar technological levels.
TQ-42 says that he has been working for a way to communicate
openly with the entity and call it directly through some means.
(http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/4977/925.png)
TQ-42 says he began his current efforts over 20 rotations ago
when he found some trace radiation that he could not explain in
his dormitorium. Though unable to find the source, TQ-42 was eventually
able to reproduce the radiation. He proceeded to observe it's effects
on living cells twisting them into the bizarre substance over time but
similarly decaying. Using borrowed medical equipment TQ-42 illegally
exposed a dish of spawning gametes to the bizarre radiation
and applied them to a tank in the spawning plant where you both work.
(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/6453/926.png)
Months later, TQ-42 says he noticed stable modifications in a previously
unchanged Sectoid spawn. The form continued to change gradually during
gestation becoming more and more unlike the Sectoid cells that merely supported the eldrich
material.
(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/4913/927q.png)
Thus, TQ-42 concludes, he needs to return ZC-04 to his care so she wont be harmed
by any panicking Sectoids that might not be as open minded as you, (TQ-42 applauds you
for having the heart not to cull her in the tank for her appearance). He repeats the importance of
reclaiming her so she can bring the Powerful alien presence to Mezizz and usher in a new age of
peace and understanding.
(http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/1373/928.png)
Not only is TQ-42 a mutant sympathizer, but an alien sympathizer
and a complete lunatic.

Site the oath of the Red lantern as you suit up.
but really do this
ask how was ZC-04 day and hope she learn how to communicate during you long yogurt faint.
edit:
also I take it TQ-42 isn't a mutant but mutated due to exposure to the chemical which is why we have mutants, and why TQ-04 could rip TQ-42 face off with this Charger like hand.
(http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/3373/929y.png)
Wait a minute his backstory stated he went to the same dream place TQ-666 went I guess he was inspired and end up allowing himself to grab some radioactive junk to make some mutants to reconnect to that place. sadly the character we are playing has evolve from a mutant culler to a hypocritical Mutant culler and only existence is to be mocked and made fun of his mutant hating. Plot wise we learn where all mutants come from and that it's not from some sectoid error but this guy testing to make a hybrid of junk he found on his floor and Sectoid DNA. also we know that the way to connect to the dream section is by being unconsciousness so far only 2 sectoid successfully pull this off his test tube baby might not be able to do so. I wonder what would happen if we told him we went to the same Dream area as well than just punching him in the face and causing him to talk more about his dreams.

this sectoid sucks at killing he can't kill a fly unless it's praying for it's sweet death and still then it would be on accident.

He just punch him and ran like a Weak frail man who passes out on yogurt looking for some droids to do the job for him.-snip-

He didn't need the button, the alternative was just messy and time consuming. You could crush ice with a rock, but you (more than likely) use a blender instead. And we weren't trying to kill TQ-42, we were trying to get away. If it came down to it, we could've more than likely killed TQ-42 with ease. And it wasn't the gamemonies TQ-02 was in trouble for, it was irresponsibility. And it would be a terribly irresponsible move to let TQ-42 bring about some Eldritch horror to damn all Gabronians. What we're trying to do is stop TQ-42, even if we have to kill her, the ends will justify the means.

This is no longer about killing ZC-04 because she's a mutant, this is about keeping TQ-42 from bringing space Cthulhu to our doorstep.
Though we didn't even hear any sign of evil from TQ-42 other than insane crazy goals the only reason we oppose them was our should be done with mutant hating craze. this is like frankenstein monster where the best is just misunderstood and only hope of survival is resting on the leg of a mutanist.

If we hide her she may eventually be found. The only way to make sure TQ-42 doesn't get his hands on her is to kill her. And Space!Cthulhu isn't here, only traces of that peculiar radiation.

The best is just misunderstood? What book were you reading? Frankenstein's creation forced Victor to create another monster and then killed his wife after he refused to do so. And TQ-42 isn't evil, he's bat's in the belfry, going about his work without any regard for the danger he's putting the entire Gabronian race in.

Also, a mutant saves our lives and you still consider killing it? Your all mindless monsters.No no, it's about doing what is right. Keeping the gene-pool pure, or we'd all degenerate into puddles of mucus. You wouldn't want that, would you?
Plus that it's not just a mutant, it's the child of Yoggoth, a half extraplanar, not even of this dimension. It is the gateway for the nameless things that scratch at the doors of sanity, to come into our world, our lives, our minds, the Old Ones who will retake what was once theirs.
And how can we be sure that not every mutant is one of his kind? A banishment island is way too lenient and too dangerous for our existence. Mutants must all be... recycled.

However at this point I'm thinking Robocorn is trying to drive us towards mutant sympathy.
I suggest we humor him until we have a better opportunity to kill the mutant.
That or he is going to have the mutant haul TQ-04 up and eat him alive.
Either way:
Attempt to accept the mutants help, and explain the situation and how you have changed your mind

Personally, I like getting this guy to become some kind of sectoidhitler, directly opposed to the Che Guevara mutant uprising we've got going on. We'd be playing both sides at the same time. That whole cthulhu/yoggoth story? Nice, but we're walking the other way. I'm DM hell. 8)

also isn't TQ-42 going to send ZC-04 over to the sectoid opposed to alpha as means of a sales pitch for a mutant sectoid army?
also let's not forget the other alien races.

Yes, if it doesn't traumatize TQ-04 to talk about mutation details. It could be coincidence, or it could be important.
Explain about TQ-42's experiments
Sure. But beyond that, we learned over here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2240533#msg2240533) that ZC Sectoids have "increased proclivities towards empathy and bureaucratic work." The idea of turning against TQ-42, an individual who clearly just wants to help those mysterious eldritch forces, might be upsetting to someone so empathic.
Perhaps there is a middle ground or baby step to take.

Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, ask TQ-42 whether the plan involves any consumption of yogurt. Either way, encourage TQ-42 to have some first. Subtly encourage the consumption of more and more until TQ-42 passes out.
Then, discover that ZC-04 has been consuming extra yogurt behind your back. Discover also that ZC-04 is super-sensitive to the substance, and has likewise passed out.
As such, unintentionally bring about all the necessary conditions for the trans-ethereal communion.

alpha teleport your self over to TQ-04 and shoot TQ-42 your self seeing you can only be the only insane sectoid around here.

Unfortunately, it is not obvious if TQ-42 intends to inject himself or ZC-04. What's more clear is that some form of surprise assault will befall TQ-04 if he interferes. Scan the ceiling, floor, and nearby suspicious surfaces for remaining traps. Then interfere.

TQ-42 menaces you with his syringe.

You force the needle to his throat.
He winces as the yogurt is injected into his blood stream.
He ceases his struggle and goes limp soon after.
He'll probably be poisoned and die from the contamination.

Suddenly you see his muscles contract at once and the
veins in his face engorge with blood. He lets out a sound
part way between a gasp and a shriek and
begins to convulse violently.

He's gonna blow! Use the box as cover, fluid looks like it's about to spray.That, or he's about to turn into some sort of extradimensional freakazoid, in which case we should quickly coordinate with ZC-04 to flip the box, perhaps using the air-holes for leverage; you can't deal with a hostile yoggurth on your own.
Post by: Rexfelum on May 14, 2011, 05:11:53 pm
yoggurth
That is horrifying. And appropriate. Horrifyingly appropriate.
Yes, coordinate with ZC-04 to flip the box. ZC-04 probably has a high "Leverage" statistic. (The statistic seems to be called Leverage (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2141757#msg2141757), not Strength.) If need be, use yourself as a fulcrum by crouching at the side of the box, and allow ZC-04 to tip it against you, long enough for her to crawl out from under it. (That would prevent it from just sliding along the ground, you see.)

I'm fairly certain that it is a live gorlax. We're still iffy on the overall biology and lifecycle of the majestic gorlax, though.
This just keep getting better and better...
This just keeps getting funkier and funkier.
Was the injection just pure yogurt? If so, and if TQ-42's reaction is startling, then it's reasonable to assume that this reaction is indeed due to the radiation: Sectoid medical science should already know what happens from a simple yogurt injection. Thus, this room is probably suffused with radiation . . . which TQ-42 is generating (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2251045#msg2251045). ("Though unable to find the source, TQ-42 was eventually able to reproduce the radiation.") Find the generators.

The cage magnetically retracts onto it's carrier.
ZC-04 is still a little dazed from the prior events.

Sadly, that contest to name it has already been won by Andux.yoggurth
In light of appearances, I'm thinking some reference to G-Virus mutants might also do. "The Y-Virus mutant"? Oh, well. "Yogargant"?
Anyway, I still think there's some radiation problem going on back in the room. Get to a droid station, temporarily hide ZC-04 from them so they don't react badly, and inform them of the destruction being wrought by the even-nastier mutant now chasing after you. Also advise them that defeating the evil may require destroying radiation generators in TQ-42's room. Then switch to TQ-666.

teach the tiny creatures proper grammar
Everything TQ-666 has attempted so far has somehow resulted in his suffering. Extra limbs? Not so good. Great shining eye in the sky? Somewhat on fire. The salt, admittedly, didn't hurt him very much, but it did totally kick us out to the character roster.
So now I'm trying to imagine how proper grammar will be twisted around to hurt us. I support this idea out of grim fascination.

*TQ-02 is not amused and shoots robot immediately to death with Leeane*You are now TQ-02
Leeyanne is not with you nor your limbs you can only feel the throat which forms the nozzle, the chamber which holds your mind, and the trigger which all formed from your nervous system. G.O.D. turn you into a gun that fires unborn mutant sectoids that would hit G.O.D. hard frame. the babies would then fall to the abyss never to be seen again. this is extra torture to TQ-04 and TQ-03 for what they stand for and pleases G.O.D.

All credits go to me, except for sound and music which was open source. If you found a glitch it's probably because I decided I wasn't going to spend hours fixing it. Happy almost semianniversary.

Next, two other issues:
so during TQ-666 slumber TQ-42 was met with this wing creature to spread news of TQ-666 return.

So, everyone knows Rumrusher is completely making things up, right?

It was going to loop already but I found I couldn't come up with an elegant way to transition,
either way it was ridiculously easy to loop so here it is. (http://uberrobocorn.deviantart.com/art/666-Dance-211239976)
Excellent. Pity how I was talking about the original Flash. Now make the one in your original Flash loop at least three times before it hits the transition, darn it!

You address your guide
How did this all come to be?
What happened out here?
"To be honest it's kind of a long and technical story,
I'll try to simplify as best I can because, you know, 230 million years.
Usually when I'm doing this whole quest for Shabalash thing with
one of you meta users, a bunch of these entities called planescions form
from the current emotional landscape."
" They generally show limited sapience
and just wander around but lend stability to the Surrealm in the areas
they inhabit. They spend most of their time following the meta user around
as corporeal manifestations of their will. So the more you use your meta powers,
the more there are and the less influence you have without them."
"When there are enough of them around they tend to start drawing alien
dreamers into the Surrealm to give themselves context and take on aspects of the
dreamers. Usually the meta-user still has a lot of control because the planescions all acknowledge
its influence and the paradigm shifts don't occur until later to tamper with the flow of creation."
"Usually"
(http://i.imgur.com/c18Jc.png)
"That's where your issues come in."
"In your salt generating spree you inadvertently generated
several billion Ebonlings in the observable part of the Surrealm,
All of their perspectives mute your influence to the point where
you'd be unlikely to affect further than arms... further than a full pace...
futher than spitting distance. At least wherever there are large groups
of Ebonlings not in your favor."
"That would be fine in itself, you could just make them all bend to your will,
but over the aeons they've gotten a lot of alien context that defies you.
Each Ebonling is practically a fully actualized being and they live in a diffuse
communal society around the Surrealm."
"But even that's not the problem."
(http://i.imgur.com/xHARE.png)
"The problem is that they don't think you exist TQ-666"
"Very few of them still acknowledge your existence and you've already met all 19 of them.
Most of them are materialistic, a few incorrectly associate me with the formation of the Surrealm.
It's hard to see how this could become more awkward of an entrance on your part."
Couldn't you meet them?
Show yourself and gain their will?
Show them that you're real?
"I don't know how well that will work, I wouldn't want
to stifle your imagination though. To regain your influence you'll either have
to win them over or flee beyond the zone where the planescions dwell"
Try diplomacy
They'll recognize you, you're sure.

A better start may be to just levitate in place a bunch. Get recognized as being supernatural. Eventually, and especially with other manipulations, this should lead to planescions putting two and two together in a more helpful way. No, I'm not forbidding the eventual action of slaughter. Just rounding out the approach a bit.

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the lack of author activity here... Wouldn't it be such a bother for the updates to stop now? With the mutant rebellion/uprising/rally just beginning, the ex-tyrant in the middle of a fight with a guard, TQ04 and his mutant buddy about to be arrested by droids, and the limbless one midway in his descent to godhood? Or whatever the limbless mutant was doing. Never really got that plot, to be honest... But still! Don't leave us hanging! In the middle of all this!

Yes. However, technically, none of the haiku in this whole thread are strictly "right," since proper haiku (made in the "real world") have guidelines on content as well as length--guidelines which people typically ignore when doing silly stunts like this. And I don't know all the guidelines, so don't ask me.

the thing about there not having been an actual voyage through space yet
No, the Acier Rouge should be in space now. I put this together previously:
the ship will leave in 74 secondsYes, the ship is in space now, unless departure was somehow prevented. It probably happened during or after the elevator's operation.You've watched the first minute of the first video file
Now, some thoughts. Melee isn't working. We have enough Psy to kill the Sectoid with one last mind bullet:
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/7066/777sv.png)
Approximately two points is all that's needed. But importantly, does this Sectoid have any backup? The bullet might need to be saved for later use. Do a quick look out the door for Sectoid backup, and/or seal it at a control panel, or something. Then once you know you're in the clear, use that mind bullet.

As well as his favorite flavour of yogurt, his high score in Mega-cross, the ability to tie knots, motor control of his left toe, and three hours worth of memory from that time several weeks ago when an emergency was listed due to the heat sinks but it was actually a problem with the detector.
Perhaps you should have practiced telepathy more than telekinesis.

Naturally, a scum such as him was even proud of that score. Did he eve clear the fourth

He would be more ashamed, perhaps, if you hadn't stolen his memory of the score.

Technically, yes. On this trackpad without photoshop or even my mouse, a little less likely to occur in a timely manner. But yeah, I could do this all day if I just had my normal computer back.

Okay enough, the longer you let him live the more likely he is to strike back. The more you mock him, the angrier he gets, the more likely he is to strike back. Just snap his neck and be done with it.

Once we fool the guards into believing we are the dead sectoid we then ask them you if they don't mind if we grab the clothes of the one dress as us (In the most dead pretzel sectoid way of saying that ever.) grab the our clothes off the corpse and regroup with the others.
also I notice how the scaling is off in the picture, and will hinder chances of fan animaions.

Hopefully the worst they could do is send her to the brig for questioning which then she can rest get her psi up and teleport out of there. She does look like she was severely beaten which could work for her pity route.
"Unless either they seen her on the telly killing every one"
drop down to your knees work up some tears and start sobbing at the broken dead sectoid hopefully the guards would just think a horrible battle had happen and your just another victim.
if this doesn't work then the tears should summon Tearmok.

That Gliv 21 (zappy thing) is clearly in the way of the door. If Alpha were to try to close the door, it would either A) be completely pointless, as the Sectoid is in the way, or B) be perfect, as it would knock the gun out of the Sectoid's hand.
Are the Sectoids adequately distracted? I notice that we were never actually told how the Sectoids were trying to open the door. I presume with that panel beside the thing:

A panel requires the use of hands. One Sectoid is retching and the other is holding a gun! But . . . despite that, each still has one hand free. Gol dangit!
Close the door again, but only if it will work to knock the Sectoid's gun away (and hopefully into your possession). If it won't work, then do something else. (What good is a psychic who can't see the future?)

It's worth noting that being dressed up as we are (and holding two guns while the guard holds none), there's no way we're going to pass by other Sectoids unnoticed. This hostage situation cannot last without conflict. We should pick a small goal, such as get to the residence, and re-evaluate.

I wouldn't trust this guard, especially since we're holding him here against his will, and he's asking to leave because he's been cooperative.... I'm thinking that guard goes nowhere without us until we get our hands on some Psitonin. In which case, it'll probably be a one-way road to the pearly gates for him.
And before we go through the door, we have to get it open. Making the guard do it would probably be a ton easier and more discrete to whatever may be on the other side than just ripping it out ourselves.

What do you mean nameless guard?
Whose name you certainly could ask but instead choose not to.
Doesn't he like you?
You guess if he doesn't like you he can help you get through the door another way.
Maybe he could help you that way.
Nameless guard.

The guard eventually comes to his senses and opens the door
he uses some little barcode on the bottom of his shoulder pad thing.
That must be what those stupid things are used for.
They certainly aren't offering much protection.

chances are if it's a trap we would just be adding more men to it where as if it's a trap we still have a meat shield.
or we could just use alpha many learn techniques and power nap while holding on the guard like a teddy bear.

Aegisotonin
Unfortunately, I doubt that "Aegisotonin" exists, as it probably falls under the category of "doesn't get its own bar." Aegis was listed concurrently with other things that don't get a bar, you see. However, it is an awesome name, and I strongly encourage that any Space Voyage character who gets access to a science lab try to develop this substance.
Ahem. Look through the open door, then proceed with actions that might otherwise distract you from aiming your shield.

Nope. Cleaners have the highest clearance: even the exec's offices need cleaning. I once had a job at a bank, and I had to maintain the access cards and access levels, as every other door needed a swipe to enter. Cleaners even trumped IT, and any changes to the system had to be made with someone from the legal department there, as well.throw meat under the cart, take the engineer, his shoulder pad bar code should have greater clearance

OTOH, he does not have a shoulder pad. Kill our beloved meatshield and hijack the mobile. Even if it is slow, it's better than walking. The engineer shall be our new and improved meatshield!

Our residence will not have so many Sectoids. In fact, because of the absurd security measures we (obviously) put in, it should have none, not even the requisite gloating usurper drinking our wine and scratching up our pool table. Thus, go to residence.
Unless a perusal of the mental map reveals other features of these two alternative routes (med bay versus residence) that bias the other way around. I still can't see the thing over here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2127130#msg2127130), but it sure didn't have medical facilities at the time it was posted.

So, you're off in the direction of the main service elevator for this sector
Which, hopefully will give you more access to the other parts of the ship, such as your horde
and living space, and the flight deck for the starship.
But first you have to get there.
Glox is this wheelie thing ever slow, even when it isn't cleaning.
You could probably walk faster but that might affect your stealth.

In that case, head to the bridge and blow some holes in some pilot heads.Then what you get the whole place under red alert then kill all the crew, which then you be stuck with 1 pilot and no one checking the engines, or repairing the ship(I don't doubt TQ-02 abilities just a ship filled with dead bodies is the best type of ship for Deadshapeshifters and we don't want DeadShapeshifters taking over the ship because one hot headed murderer went on a killing spree )?
best push your power on some helpless lowers so you can have a crew to fully run this vessel. besides TQ-02 can tweak that ride to go much faster once the small rebel group is formed.

Anyway, we might want to go for some greater threat against the crew - is there anything near an escape pod that explodes really nicely? If so, we should really take that over, making sure to set up some strong defense there. Once we have control of the ship we can force the crew to fly it over to a less scrupulous sector of the galaxy. Space pirates know how to run ships, if you know what I mean, and are less likely to want to side with the revolution's new government. Plus they'd probably love immunity from the law once we're back in power (or an empty promise of it). Just make sure the pirates always know who's boss. Recharged power-armor might help with that. As a side note, we'll need some loyal stooges to help us run the new shadow government, ones that will preferably not start a democratic revolution. Pirates might fit that role.

The government is, in fact, shadowy, so there is neither revolution (until TQ-03 gets further in her work) nor a public awareness that protection from shadowy folks would be helpful. So that part won't work.
But I just did some research on what else we've seen from Alpha Rauthaz. Oh ho ho:
You'll just gas them, you're immune anyway.
Tell me that Alpha Rauthaz has an internal poison gas delivery system on her ship. Just tell me this. And wherever the controls for that puppy are, head for the controls. (Which is probably Alpha's residence!)

Quote from: robocorn
You ask the janitor if she knows you can kill her right now.This means we got two female sectoids cruising along down a commercial section of the ship, given the slightly silly faces from before no one in this hall would likely care about a guard being chuck at a janitor cart and their old leader/roomie riding in the cart. this must been another drunk session Alpha does daily, toss a guard, hitch a ride on a slow cleaning vehicle to her room, pass out on top of janitor who she hitch the ride on for a couple hours and wake up wondering why she smells like cleaning supplies and shame. This must been going on for awhile and the motives of the ones who exile her must been from that daily schedule the death of the patsy was means of fishing her out. We can't go to her room they probably rig it with explosives using the kegs of cleaning supplies she* store in there. *alpha

It is my understanding that the government was two layered. On the surface was a bureaucracy, which assigned jobs and certain rights to citizens. Citizens are relatively aware of the surface bureaucracy and its various policies, including its use of droids in security and behavior modification. Below this was our shadow government, which acted in our best interest. Mostly this meant maintaining the various unfair policies of the bureaucracy that kept us in power. In other words, we blocked reforms that could ruin our advantage over the average citizen.
Rexfelum, when I say pirates are less likely to side with the revolution's new government, I meant the entire government system as of our leaving it. The average citizen is loyal to the surface bureaucracy, and unaware of who is running it from the shadows. Back in the good old days that was a good thing, since that meant they were indirectly loyal to us. Now loyalty to the bureaucracy has changed meanings, so there's no way for us to truly recruit the regular mindless/dutiful sectoid. Pirates were never loyal to the bureaucracy, and still aren't. In fact, they probably hate it for arresting and killing so many of them. They might even take joy in helping us initiate a civil war.
Point is we need a safe haven and some trustworthy friends. Closest we can get to either of those for now involves lots of pirates.

Anyway, gas grenades would be a good way to take out all the sectoids in big rooms at once, assuming we can make something strong that won't mess with us later. Gas grenades won't work on droids though - maybe we can make some explosive concoctions too? I don't think anyone rigged our former residence with explosives since the new government probably thinks we're still on that one space station. Someone else is probably occupying it - could even be the ship's captain. If we had anything nice in there that nobody knew about, it might be worth expending a few grenades to get a hold of. Hopefully nobody found and removed the internal gas-delivery system. We probably have an escape pod in there too. Oh yeah, and we need to keep the janitor as a hostage for now. No killing him.

And the work would have to have been done very, very quickly. I still find it likely that Alpha Rauthaz's residence has it's own defenses to keep out intruders, so it is probably safe for our former-secret-de-facto-leader of the homestar system.

We need something fragile to contain but break when we want it, look for glass bottles or lighting tubes. Find a plastic bottle for a funnel so we can transfer stuff from big barreks to smaller containers, If is no funnel use bottle top as one.
Look for aluminium and rusty metal, combine aluminium and rust for thermite. Like that mcgyver clone did in the vidscasts from your youth. Then we can weld doors shut or burn robot armour.
Swap clothing with useless, so we no longer feel naked as the armour is not working and we can go about pretending we are a cleaner.* We could feed him/her/it chemicals to see waht happens and stuff body in a big barrel to hide it. If it says "Trioxin" do not touch, do not go near and do not stuff bodies inside it.

Also, I know of a stupid and fun way we can release the gas into the room. We can put our toxic gas containers into the janitor's vehicle, and make it drive into the room while we hide in the storage closet. The containers should be opened right before we hide in the closet, and tons of deadly chlorine gas is required. An alternative is to put an explosive with the chlorine gas as a sort of timer, so that the gas will all be released at once as soon as the vehicle enters the room. This would be a little safer for us if it worked, though I couldn't find anything with a reliable mix-to-explosion delay time. Either way, I am not sure how we'll open the door without anyone noticing us.
If all of this succeeds, then we'll need to wait a bit for the chlorine gas to disperse, unless we're already immune to it. We can send our janitor in as a sort of canary in a coal mine (http://petcaretips.net/canary-coal-mine.html) if need be.
I won't write anything in bold until I hear more from you guys.
EDIT: If we hack the control panel, can we make the doors open after a set period of time?

Mix up some chlorine gas in big containers. Put the chlorine gas containers into the janitor's vehicle. Hack the control panel to the door of our former quarters. Put something heavy on the pedal to keep the vehicle slowly moving forward. Rig the hacked control panel to open the door as soon as the vehicle reaches it. Quickly open the containers and dart into the storage closet, closing the door behind yourself before much gas can get in. Everything should be timed so that the rigged door opens and lets the vehicle in after the door to the storage closet is already closed. Our hostage should be with us in the storage closet.

We seem to have driven through the looking glass. (Ahem. Left-right flip.)
your replacement circlets are all located there.
YES! PRIORITIES!
Spoiler: a travel animation (click to show/hide)
You stop as you approach the door to the atrium.
Even amongst all the filter plants, you'd bet that there'd be
a crowd in there that might recognize you.
Wait. We need more information. Robocorn, please define the "atrium." For that matter, please locate the "atrium." Is it immediately beyond the door that we appear to be approaching on the map? Then we are still far, far removed from the quarters. Strategy must be appropriate.
. . . And I don't know what you're saying about "filter plants" and a "crowd." Are you saying that this atrium will be filled with large objects (and hence the Sectoid population can only be so large)? If the "filter plants" mean there is little space inside, then the cleany-drivey whatsit can't go in there.
Switch Clothes with the Janitor and demand her walk into her room after you sort the issue of making a explosive that can clean out the trap if there is one. If the janitor survives the ordeal by either shear luck or moxie complement this one suggest you might have a opening for a patsy.
We can take the janitor's head piece, but I doubt it would help us disguise as a janitor. We'd need to lose our power suit to disguise ourselves, and there's no way we're losing that now, even if it needs recharging.
The power suit is irrelevant to identity. TQ-02 invented it. No one would recognize Alpha Rauthaz (or confuse TP-### for her) because of it, but rather because they personally have seen Alpha before. I think the only things we could get from the janitor would be whatever form of clearance she has, and any chemical know-how. (Would be a poor janitor who didn't know about, say, the aforementioned bleach and ammonia.

You remember to close the door to keep out any potential interlopers.

you make the janitor experiment with the dangerous chemicals.

This should be enough to deal with any potential foes you may encounter.

You have her prepare a larger jug afterwards for a more initial attack.

They'll certainly have better things to do than to try to engage in responsibility modification with you.

and the hallway that leads to the elevator that I just glossed over with a gif.
The atrium is a rather large central area where most of the air in the ship is filtered.
There are nice looking plants there and an artificial sky.
It is a popular spot for staff to take breaks in between ten hour shifts.
There is an elevator there not far from the entrance that leads up to the level on which Alpha Rauthaz's domicile is located.
This will likely be the hardest part of the trip to the room unless I get some evil ideas between now and then which I might already have.

So maybe she can go by "Phalar gun totin' protector of the people." and... she going to kill every one on the ship except leaving her stranded on a dead ship because only she has a immunity to toxins(I guess the janitor too for being temp Alpha).

though I guess this time it was just an adjective. oh well no harm done back to the point at hand getting Alpha to focus on ogle TP-??? and think up a better plan than Gassing the entire place(unless this is all means of taking the ship hostage)(this plan is bad in many ways but her dying in the process isn't one of them. I guess she coughing now due to saliva slipping down the wrong pipe.)
unless having the gas in the vent system allows easy access to mass kill security walk in and raid the armory under a guise of a rebellion that would work.

It's been so long since you've had time to yourself to admire such
a well crafted box. What could be in the box? Nanoscopic circuit thread?
Refined plutonium? High pressure disarmed explosive?
The number of delicate and dangerous items never ends.

Unfortunately, you can't open these boxes, you don't have a cryptocoder on you
nor do you have the means to construct one.
If you had one, you could break the seal and the metal shell would peel itself away.
There's really no way to pry the box apart because it has no seams,
though with enough force you could probably bend the metal and destroy whatever's inside.

The room contains a large console that displays the statistics for a compressing machine that
serves to refrigerate an area of the ship a few levels below your current location for the purposes
of maintaining a livable temperature within the ship. Like some sort of sink, but for thermal energy.
It's on the tip of your tongue.
Incidentally, the room is a bit warmer than the storage room you're currently in.

some arts to construct a cryptocoder so you can get into those boxes.
It certainly was fortuitous that that door opened on its own.

A long hard shaft of metal strikes you in the chest.
It splits your breastplate and knocks you to the floor.
Totally unexpected.
(http://i.imgur.com/qzW6L.png)
You gaze back at your attacker in abject horror and wonderment.
Never have you seen such a thing before, you'd never thought such a thing to exist.
Well, you have, but not like this, you'd only heard about little squirmy ones.
Time to cross this off your bucket list.
(http://i.imgur.com/SdhaG.png)
You've met your first alien.
And boy is it a big one.
You're seized by that special kind of adrenaline terror
that makes everything seem dreamlike and ephemeral.
Suddenly, art shift! :oSmartass psychics have to ruin it for everybody else. :P
Anyway, I'm away from my tablet for the next few days but near a scanner.
By necessity, the next few rounds of updates will be made in traditional media.
This will definitely not be a permanent shift for TQ-02's story because doing it like this is
really frigging difficult
What is this like the second? third? alien we've met in space voyage?
Far too few for a voyage this grandiose.

Suddenly the Space Kobold drops her(his? I guessing her from the silhouette) sword and starts forgiving her sudden rude attack on your life. she(he?) been trap there for some time now and was wondering if someone would arrive. She attack you due to your Droidish armor and mistaken you as a assimilated Sectoid for the Drurg empire(droids from the Droid rebellion that continue on Rebelling soon after they won. the original Droid civil group banish the UrG brand for wasted effort on something they already won and now their outlaw across the galaxy. (real reason droids don't like space travel is because if they do the drurg will come after them and assimilate the entire ship crew and droid). which will explain why she(he?) attack the chest piece
hopefully we be diplomatic and running first before ticking off the creature with a sword that cuts through droid armor.
Edit: this is my guess from the silhouette on the anatomy and clothes the new character is wearing from looking at Robocorn's marker strokes. (http://www.truimagz.com/host/fortcrush2/folder1/too-much-free-time-on-hands.png) so I guess the Space kobold/mimiga is holding out their hand in means to help up TQ-02 from the ground? Clearly this creature didn't mean to attack TQ-02 and is sorry.

The alien prepares to skewer you with it's blade.
Its motivations for this could be anything.
You sure have been getting pinned to walls a lot lately.
(http://i.imgur.com/zPsxR.png)
Suddenly, an alert klaxon goes off.
Probably pertaining to the console that the alien just broke with you.
This should pass soon enough.
Really, what's so important about temperature control on a space ship?
The klaxon distracts the alien though.
It drops it's blade and turns ochre.
(http://i.imgur.com/AVyNy.png)
The alien then un-pins you from the wall and you fall onto the console controls,
breaking them further. The alarm begins to wane as you further break the machine.
Perfectly logical, nobody can tell that the machine s broken if the machine that tells if
the machine is broken is broken.
Perfect logic.

The alien, begins trying to break into the large ventilation shaft in the room.
It sure knows a lot about the ship. You bet you could team up with it.
With it's brawn and your inimitable charm, you could rule the galaxy.
Or something...really you just think the alien is cool.
It's different enough from you so that you don't think it's creepy.
But how will you win it over?
This looks like a job for a muffin.

E) Muffins soak in his blood acts like stem cells and start regrowing his arm back.

Cryogenic storage is (almost) the only solution - shunt waste heat to a different area using whatever life support systems are left, turning room into an impromptu freezer. Failing that, we might need to cauterize the wound, so shunt more waste heat until the ventilation shaft is red hot..

You cram a muffin in your open wound.
The blood is not stopped by its porous dough.
This is incredibly painful
(http://i.imgur.com/siiAu.png)
Across the room, the aline is escaping into the vent.
This may be your last chance to get to it.
You're a bit surprised it could even fit in there.
(http://i.imgur.com/QU2vf.png)
Muffins are no painkiller., your stump feels like it's been through a grinder.
If this killing machine doesn't think you'll ram it down it's got another thing coming.
But while you're screaming for vengeance your blood pressure gives out.
(http://i.imgur.com/6CrTk.png)
On the floor, you feel a coldness come over your body.
It all fades away to black from there.
(http://i.imgur.com/LmbaJ.png)
You find yourself in an unfamiliar, dark void.
Your desolation is complete.
You can't tell what's going on.
What was in that muffin anyway.
(http://i.imgur.com/mjOby.png)
Soon, you spot a light in the distance.
You seem drawn towards it.
The light seems familiar somehow.
It has to be more interesting than this void.
The whiteness feels like home to you.
(http://i.imgur.com/G6MAG.png)
Suddenly it all comes back to you.
You remember this, this was your spawning day.
That time when you got to go to the assignment room
with TM-4562324 and pick the item you liked the best.
You chose the mechanical wrench naturally and were
subsequently assigned to 25 years of engineering training.
Good times.
(http://i.imgur.com/PZERQ.png)
Oh, that's when you met TQ-01.
He picked some kind of fake toy space ship and was assigned to become
some sort of space pilot guy. You became fast friends due to your constant
juxtaposition due to your names and birth order.
(http://i.imgur.com/FAY8K.png)
There was that time where he beat you with a blunt object for
owing him so much mineral abstraction currency in a board game.
He told you that you had to be more careful regarding resources or
they'd take you away.
TQ-01 was so smart.
(http://i.imgur.com/EbpDx.png)
Then there was that one time when TQ-01 took you out to a
yogurt bar and you ordered the hugest thing they had.
Then you barfed everywhere, had to get your stomach pumped,
and had a weird lucid dream about teaching internal combustion to bugs.
Good times.
(http://i.imgur.com/KDCYO.png)
Then there was that time that TQ-04 wanted to do something
nice for TQ-05 so he had you build her an electronic dulcimer.
He was so happy to see her play that he cried. Boy, did he
ever cry.
(http://i.imgur.com/jyZY5.png)
Then there was that one time when you found out that
you'd been assigned to go into space to Zerblex-14.
TQ-01 was kind of excited about the whole thing but
the others said they were going to miss you.
You'd wish you could see them again.
(http://i.imgur.com/yjgKQ.png)
Then there was that time when you put on a suit of armor an forgot how it worked.
Then a droid came in and beat you into your cupboard until TQ-01
came in to save you.
Actually that doesn't seem like that long ago.
Half an hour, an hour, it seems like months have gone by.
(http://i.imgur.com/BdR4C.png)
Then you met Alpha something something, and hit you and made you wear suits
of armor. Then she hit TQ-01 and you did a wheelie over her with a port-o-bunker.
Then she threatened to break your nerves or something and you had a high speed chase where you tried to hit her with her own circlet.Later, TQ-01 got her to promise not to kill you.
And now you're all on some random voyage through space.
(http://i.imgur.com/QxfqK.png)
Then you snuck into a cargo hold and made a suit and gun out of your droid,
Leeanne. Then you pushed around some blocks and got your arm cut off by a giant
monster that hates muffins.
Then...
(http://i.imgur.com/ME3hf.png)
Then you don't really know what happened.
You guess you bled out.
You're dead.
You always thought you'd die in a different way.
But all it is is a whitish void.
You guess you could try to haunt that monster if you knew how.
You'll just have to get used to being dead.
A voice assures you that you aren't dead.
(http://i.imgur.com/fXv3A.png)
A floating head appears, professing to be RX-411, the medical officer of the Acier Rouge.
He says that some guards found you bleeding in a control room and the following has
just been a brain probe to deduce where you came from and how you were mutilated.
You should awaken momentarily.
(http://i.imgur.com/YRGxs.png)
You awaken on a med bay table with a respirator and a blood feed.
You appear to have no right arm.
A medical sectoid stands next to you looking worried.
You cram a muffin in your open wound.
The blood is not stopped by its porous dough.
This is incredibly painful
(http://i.imgur.com/siiAu.png)
Across the room, the aline is escaping into the vent.
This may be your last chance to get to it.
You're a bit surprised it could even fit in there.
(http://i.imgur.com/QU2vf.png)
Muffins are no painkiller., your stump feels like it's been through a grinder.
If this killing machine doesn't think you'll ram it down it's got another thing coming.
But while you're screaming for vengeance your blood pressure gives out.
(http://i.imgur.com/6CrTk.png)
On the floor, you feel a coldness come over your body.
It all fades away to black from there.
(http://i.imgur.com/LmbaJ.png)
You find yourself in an unfamiliar, dark void.
Your desolation is complete.
You can't tell what's going on.
What was in that muffin anyway.
(http://i.imgur.com/mjOby.png)
Soon, you spot a light in the distance.
You seem drawn towards it.
The light seems familiar somehow.
It has to be more interesting than this void.
The whiteness feels like home to you.
(http://i.imgur.com/G6MAG.png)
Suddenly it all comes back to you.
You remember this, this was your spawning day.
That time when you got to go to the assignment room
with TM-4562324 and pick the item you liked the best.
You chose the mechanical wrench naturally and were
subsequently assigned to 25 years of engineering training.
Good times.
(http://i.imgur.com/PZERQ.png)
Oh, that's when you met TQ-01.
He picked some kind of fake toy space ship and was assigned to become
some sort of space pilot guy. You became fast friends due to your constant
juxtaposition due to your names and birth order.
(http://i.imgur.com/FAY8K.png)
There was that time where he beat you with a blunt object for
owing him so much mineral abstraction currency in a board game.
He told you that you had to be more careful regarding resources or
they'd take you away.
TQ-01 was so smart.
(http://i.imgur.com/EbpDx.png)
Then there was that one time when TQ-01 took you out to a
yogurt bar and you ordered the hugest thing they had.
Then you barfed everywhere, had to get your stomach pumped,
and had a weird lucid dream about teaching internal combustion to bugs.
Good times.
(http://i.imgur.com/KDCYO.png)
Then there was that time that TQ-04 wanted to do something
nice for TQ-05 so he had you build her an electronic dulcimer.
He was so happy to see her play that he cried. Boy, did he
ever cry.
(http://i.imgur.com/jyZY5.png)
Then there was that one time when you found out that
you'd been assigned to go into space to Zerblex-14.
TQ-01 was kind of excited about the whole thing but
the others said they were going to miss you.
You'd wish you could see them again.
(http://i.imgur.com/yjgKQ.png)
Then there was that time when you put on a suit of armor an forgot how it worked.
Then a droid came in and beat you into your cupboard until TQ-01
came in to save you.
Actually that doesn't seem like that long ago.
Half an hour, an hour, it seems like months have gone by.
(http://i.imgur.com/BdR4C.png)
Then you met Alpha something something, and hit you and made you wear suits
of armor. Then she hit TQ-01 and you did a wheelie over her with a port-o-bunker.
Then she threatened to break your nerves or something and you had a high speed chase where you tried to hit her with her own circlet.Later, TQ-01 got her to promise not to kill you.
And now you're all on some random voyage through space.
(http://i.imgur.com/QxfqK.png)
Then you snuck into a cargo hold and made a suit and gun out of your droid,
Leeanne. Then you pushed around some blocks and got your arm cut off by a giant
monster that hates muffins.
Then...
(http://i.imgur.com/ME3hf.png)
Then you don't really know what happened.
You guess you bled out.
You're dead.
You always thought you'd die in a different way.
But all it is is a whitish void.
You guess you could try to haunt that monster if you knew how.
You'll just have to get used to being dead.
A voice assures you that you aren't dead.
(http://i.imgur.com/fXv3A.png)
A floating head appears, professing to be RX-411, the medical officer of the Acier Rouge.
He says that some guards found you bleeding in a control room and the following has
just been a brain probe to deduce where you came from and how you were mutilated.
You should awaken momentarily.
(http://i.imgur.com/YRGxs.png)
You awaken on a med bay table with a respirator and a blood feed.
You appear to have no right arm.
A medical sectoid stands next to you looking worried.
This was the longest update ever.

I have a feeling TQ-02 only doom the ship mates and not himself on both answers.
wait where his arm? You think they could just reattach that on given it's apart of his body.
Unless the Charmalien grab it.
Though one has to wonder if the Charmalien was apart of the crew and all her actions was justified(unknown sectoid pops in on the ship, and doesn't like getting hit in the face and really moody).

Then ask RX-411 what he is reading. Then get bored of that and ask RX-411 if we can use the materializer to get a glass of water. While he's not looking, mess with the materializer so it won't work. Then tell RX-411 that the materializer won't work, and that we're really really thirsty, and won't stop complaining until he goes out into another room with a materializer to get you a cup of water. Preferably a very far away room. Then use various things in the room to make a mind-transfer hat-gun, that will transfer the wearer's brain into whatever he shoots. Then make sure the hat is turned on, wear it, point the gun at the computer, and fire. We will become one with the ship, or cause many shenanigans in our attempt.
And surely no alert will go off when we attempt to tamper with the materializer. Well, it won't if we are sneaky.

Look at all this medical technology.
You're sure you could collect enough spare junk to make a new arm.

You spend an indeterminite amount of time collecting materials.

You begin construction of your new right arm.
But before long, RX-411 shows up asking what you're doing with all that rubbish.

"weapons"? To mainstream. Add a data port so you can hook your nervous system right up the the computer network. Actually, you could probably make the connection wireless.Connecting to the ship via nervous system too child's play. We need to make the arm generate Psi-levels so Tq-02 can telepathically speak to the lithae.
I guess one could hack the ship nervous system to learn more on biomechanics to make a psi generator.
though I guess one might want to take a broken med bay station and attach it to your arm so you can revive people... and make living muffin creatures that follow your command.

second remote control the arm (using the chip you implanted into the shoulder) and cloak it their second vision can't pick up that arm due to it doesn't give out heat. once they stop looking at you control the arm to hack the ship computers.
in means of faking a high official command to releasing your self.
if any of this doesn't work then
pray the lithea secretly loves you(have a thing for one organic arm men) and breaks you free out of this mess.
or
Pray TQ-01 talk himself into running the ship.

But we don't know how fast they are, they could outrun us without breaking a sweat. Looking behind us gives us a chance to block any blows. Without looking behind us we would have no idea that there's anything behind us giving us no reason to run.

RX-411 is indeed Gaz from Invader Zim. The only thing that will save TQ-02 now is a massive amount of kissing up/worship.If we are going with that then we blew doing the kissing up, given we just used one of her possessions to amp up our arm.
If we are lucky we can order the living cupcake to throw it self into this walking nuke to stall TQ-02 long enough to swing out of her range.
Because now he got a roaming murder a roaming not so lethal lithea and ticking time bomb behind him.
It could only get worst if all three appeared in the very said hall way and battle on which one gets to horribly beat the muffin out of TQ-02. A triple threat free for all for the rights to wear TQ-02 skull for a hat.
wait could be worst is they all agree to share and painfully mutate TQ-02 until he has 3 heads so they all can have a skull hat.

In sci-fi, those stupid three pronged claw hands can actually pick up things as opposed to letting them drop back in to that bin and making you fork over another 75 cents (seriously) for another go at some terrible toy, or if the arcade is particularly lazy an uncatchable bundle of tickets that might earn you an equally terrible toy.

If I was an efficient storyteller we wouldn't have to get mystery hats.
We could be having the secrets of our origins revealed to us and
be trying to teach compassion to the perpetrators of the conflict.
We could be learning something about the world and something about ourselves.

RX-411, the medical officer of the Acier Rouge.
Uh. "RX-411"? "Doctor Help"? (Or "Doctor Information," I suppose.) Also, I would like to observe that the players of this game seem to have the power to decide gender. ZC-04 somehow became female after a protracted period of being "it." And now:
RX-411 . . . He says . . .
RX-411 . . . She says . . .
Moving on, it seems that search functions are awesome:
Not the Litheu
you treasonous spawn of Litheu.
it's a wonder that the Acier Rouge hasn't been captured
by Kissok or Litheu by now.
I suspect that the Kissok will be another alien race we meet sometime. Hmm. Beware of stealthy Kissok spies who are already on board . . .
One of the most important events in history is happening in a few hours
Ah, they're probably replacing beloved leader TQ-07 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1896120#msg1896120). Or something.
At this point I've completely forgotten when TQ-02 lost that tooth.
I think it was when he crashed the port-o-bunker.
Yes, it was over here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1966614#msg1966614). The "bitten tongue" turned out to involve a missing tooth in all graphics thereafter. TQ-02 seems to be your target for visible mutilation in this story.
I had the wierdest dream about a TQ sectoid last night.
The funny thing is . . . you never mentioned a sectoid anywhere in your description.
Spoiler: Amazing technology! (click to show/hide)
Say, "Nice try kid, but it looks like you brought a gun... to a muffin fight."
Expletives! I was too late to give this the support it deserved! Nooooo!
after the ship reaches Mezizz, he gets to finally
retire from duty
Hmm, Mezizz. The 5th planet of the Gabronian home system. Where TQ-03 and TQ-04 live. HMM.
You did get a bunch of hats out of it.
Yes! Hats! Awesome hats that will surely bring greatness! The forward momentum on this plotline is unbelievable! Clearly, there is no other choice than to go to plot recap, then character roster!

Distract the armory guard. With hats. In other words, bury the guard in a pile of gift hats. Say hilarious commentary while doing so. Then sneak past the guard, and into the otherwise unguarded armory. Then make a mind-swap hat-gun. And use it to switch the main computer's AI with... Cupcake!wait we have a materializing arm.Spoiler: Bad fan art (click to show/hide)

Distract guard while Cupcake sneaks into the armory and pilfers some batteries.who said the armory has batteries?
Besides there better and more crazier ways to get batteries than just hitting up the armory.
like hitting up the general store in means of supplies. or
Finding the electrician center and borrow his power supply and generator to add it to your arm so you get a recharge rate with your materialization. then build the electrician a replacement power supply and generator. then materialize a nice suit for the hats.
wait I guess TQ-02 had a mini adventurer between the two panels and got them selves hats I don't think there near the armory anymore.
so let's find a Electrician and trade some hats for a recharging power supply and generator.

For scholastic reasons I am to produce a 100 page comic book.
This assignment is due for completion in two weeks.
While I'm sure I can do it, the project will consume most (read: almost all) of my Space voyaging
time until its completion. The maximum length of this hiatus is 2 weeks, though I can't foresee completing it
before next Monday.
Just want to give you the heads up that I haven't died or given up at the round and coherent number of 1187.

because I don't have the time to process plot advancements in addition to drawing updates.
I can still raw unrelated things and answer Space Voyage based questions.

Sorry. I just need to finish the terrible comic. I'll be ready after that.
The paradox is that the times when there are least updates are when I'm working the hardest.
I made a thread for the comic here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=89423.msg2463846#new) if you want to bug me about that or make weird suggestions. Space Voyage will definitely be continued within about ten days unless I'm lethally wounded somehow.

Okay, fine. FINE. I'll do your job FOR you:
Quote from: Robocorn IN THE FUTURE
Page 1190: You are now TQ-01. You have, in fact, been TQ-01 for quite some time, and are beginning to think longingly of being anyone else. Reasons include your complete lack of hand-to-hand combat skills, the significantly-greater hand-to-hand combat skills of the security Sectoid who beat you up, and the general discomfort of being dragged through the corridors of the ship half-conscious towards what is surely incarceration. Also, if you had more situational awareness, you would count as further reasons your proximity to life-threatening plot events, such as an imminent Litheu rampage and/or imminent Alpha rampage, depending on location. Because of course you're close to one of those. But you can't do anything about that, because you just passed out.
Page 1191: PLOT RECAP.
You're welcome.

The litheu was exposed to TQ-02 blood during the arm cut causing a "soul bind", the litheu killing the guard was just taking the thought "need to get into the armory" from TQ-02. leading to bonding by raiding the armory and wearing silly hats [insert]TQ-02 & Cou (Litheu) guns + hat fashion montage[/insert].

Apparently the Litheu has better reflexes though,

You prepare to throw your second hat sidelong into the alien's neck
in hopes that a deadly chakram might have unknowingly been installed in the brim.
You saw it on the feelies once.

Well, you missed anyway, you haven't been having a lot of luck throwing things this MCP.
you've never been really great at throwing things anyway, that's always been more TQ-01's thing.
you may have some luck if it boomerangs around to maybe cut up the alien from behind.
if it still maybe has that chakram in it.
All good plans should have some degree of wishful thinking. that's what you learned in engineering academy.

It pins you against the wall and puts its sword to your throat.
It screeches something intelligible at you that you have no way of understanding.

If only it had a cane and some spats.
So Dapper.

Red is humor the litheu pretty much was laughing at the appearance of TQ-02 armor and arm.
Green confusion and
black/grey frustration.
Given that most of what we do to reach black is sticking something on it's face we best avoid physical face touching which meansKissing the litheu is out of the question unless it's groveling at it's feet which then Kiss the litheu's feet.
also I thought it was a girl? I guess once you throw a top hat and monocle on any thing it gets a boost in male levels.
Which means TQ-02 could channel that extra boost into his "what ever is his learning levels called" to learn the litheu's language and talk it out of it's Code black phase saving his skin and work on making a hack tool for his arm so he can jack into the mainframe of the ship and fill muffins in the guard stations causing them to be flooded with sweets unable to move.

Well, apparently, green is surprise; yellowish tints may be fear (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2410719#msg2410719); black seems to be murderous rage.

Cupcake leaps into the litheu's open mouth with wild abandon.
Seeming to startle it considerably.

The alien starts to look at you strangely.
The pressure applied to the sword is somewhat less,
perhaps due to distraction.
Well, even more strangely.
As Cupcake writhes around in its mouth
it changes color again.
Mostly orange but with pink around the face.
Maybe pink is useful somehow.
Maybe this was Cupcake's attack
Cupcake was pretty unappetizing.

Here me out what if way back in the first appearance the litheu stop and saw a warning about unsual rise in temperature which is a result of either a explosion or a room being pump with fumes,
figures some one else is going to suicide bomb the entire ship and goes Jane McClane and crawl through the vent the lost of the arm was from horribly piss off McClane in the middle of a crisis.
So after quietly murdering the guard Cou McClane trys to make a deal with the stupid side kick because the ship going to be pumped with toxic fumes and every one but alpha going to die.

Sectoid space ships/stations are constantly clean there no way foreign germs could pick up or grow in their Bacteriophobia life styles, that and the alien would more likely infect TQ-02 given it's an unknown intruder though it is a litheu so the diseases it carries must not even be worth caring about next to the biological warfare alpha doing behind the scenes.

A. Feathers, but TQ-02 wouldn't identify them as such because there are no feathered organisms on any of the GAbronian colonized systems and he's not a xenobiologist.
B. Zemblax are what I give people when they recognize my smartassery, We could create a complex metagame about them, or they could be a one off joke. I don't really care either way.

TQ-01 a master at virtual simulation even when it arcade style fighters, the guard should have known never to challenge you at SSF4AE(Some Space Fightin' 4 : Another Edition.) with the final blow TQ-01 wins another match leading him to the winner's bracket of the ship's Space Fightin' 4 tourney

You've been beating this security guard senseless for maybe forty seconds.

You have a feeling that this is going to be a long MCP.
It would be nice if this guard would just give up.
So, Robocorn, what you're saying is you're sick of everybody other than Alpha either failing to engage in violence (TQ-03) or being a total wimp (all the rest).
The guard appears to be swaying in a mortal kombat trance.
Unfortunately, no. Observe the lack of "just giving up." That guard is repeatedly raising a hand to resume the attack, and is being beaten down.
Logically explain to the guard that every time he/she/aspartame raises a hand to resume the attack, he/she/aspartame is being beaten down, and it would be appropriate to give up.

This actually seemed like a fairly sensible progression based on what we've seen. TQ-01 was already in a fight when we cut away to TQ-03 last time. It almost makes sense that he/she wouldn't be overpowered by a guard TQ-01's blatantly shown more physical fitness than most any other character. He/she's jumped onto a moving droid (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1890980#msg1890980), Thrown a wrench with the force and accuracy necessary to pierce a droid's lens. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1893368#msg1893368), properly tucked and rolled from a speeding hover cart (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2069659#msg2069659), and easily carried TQ-02's unconscious body while balancing on and rolling the dubiously cylindrical Leeanne's chassis (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2075180#msg2075180). And that's just what I could remember off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more improbably feats of strength in the great space voyage backlog. I could really go either way regarding the use of violence to progress the plot, the amount of karate kicking or diplomacy that occurs over the current round of updates is really up to the suggestions. (though I must admit, fighting is a lot easier to write).

Almost as soon as you activate it, the cryptocoder alerts you of the presence of a nearby box.
It directs you to the location of the box and displays that it contains hull gel.

Open the crate and take some gel. Save inventory space by covering captured sectoid with obtained gel.
Would you like the compete list of "ways this could go horrifically wrong" that I just created?
Anyway. We have now determined that this nearby crate does NOT contain explosives and should NOT detonate when mildly bumped. This calls for a victory dance on top of the crate.
Also, abbreviation text is fine I guess, so long as you do enough of it that it doesn't seem like a gimmick with minor payoff. Also, I fear not your two-day hiatus.

First, GASP! That post isn't centered, again.
Second, the gel looks to be suspended somehow. Is there, I dunno, a plastic wrapper on the gel or some sort of suspension equipment separate from the crate itself? If it's just a property of the crate, I am concerned that the gel would splash out when the crate is opened. Perhaps the crate is only intended to be opened at it's destination, where you immediately pour the contents onto a ship. Once done with victory dance, assess the potential existence of internal mechanisms that hold the gel in a coherent unit. Also, use very wordy sentences.

Unfortunately the cryptocoder has detected that the box has been cryptocoded
and cannot be opened without the completion of an arbitrary logical puzzle.
This surely protects the security of the box from cryptocoder wielding miscreants who cannot solve puzzles.
How this would protect the box from say: Pstchithxch space pirates, who can solve puzzles, you do not know.

And, for the puzzle... use the vizu-screen and look up a solution. I'm sure there are plenty of websites that solve that kind of puzzle. If that by some twist of fate doesn't work, check the corner of the box in the diagram. Maybe it moves or something?

Post by: Rexfelum on August 12, 2011, 01:31:07 am
I doubt the corner of the box in the diagram moves. It appears to be a symbolic representation of "this thing opens, yo." Which means trying to move it will probably lead to a completely startling and irrelevant action, so try to move that box.
. . . Just had another idea. Trying to connect all the dots by moving from one to the next, such that each move only ever goes up one or down one digit. However, that also doesn't work.

And I thought of peglegpengeuin's solution when I mentioned the "move from one tile to the next, such that each move only ever goes up one or down one digit" option, but I was rendered uncertain by the long string of "2." I'm used to rules where you must go up or down, and staying the same is not allowed. I guess just poke at the digits to begin; ascertain whether they highlight, form chains, play sounds, whatever.

With that information you solve the puzzle pretty easily.
The Cryptocoder indicates the box is prepared for opening.

The crate sheds it's protective metal plating.

As for an equally important issue.
You work on trying to correct Leeanne's visual lens
What use is having a talking gun that can't see very well.
You'd get snuck up on all the time.

Congrats to Andux for solving the puzzle 2500 Zemblax or something.
In a different matter, I'll be away from my computer for the weekend and will be having
another two day hiatus. Unless you count this as Saturday's update. In which case, this will be a one day hiatus which I've in the past had unannounced. Just try to convince yourselves that I'm working on something.

Also the rebellion is all the way over in the Gabronian homestar system, such that civilian lightspeed transmission would take 85,493 Mandated Unconsciousness Periods to get there. You know. Get to "Gabronia," which failed to be replaced with the name "Mezizz" in that link despite Robocorn's interest in retconning Gabronia to Mezizz (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2223967#msg2223967).
But the short version is we're nowhere near the rebellion. And we're not on a slaver ship. Until Alpha Rauthaz says so.

Yay, scene change! Our goal now is to accomplish something so totally awesome with the rebellion that we can close the chapter on it, just like how forming a team and heading to the Acier Rouge ended chapter 1. Think storytelling, people!
TQ-03 should use her most commanding/inspiring voice to break the chaos and ask what the hell is going on.
Sad to say, it is very clear what is going on. The inspiring music crafted by our revolution is too catchy. Our fellow mutants can't get it out of their head.
First, message RF-5271923 and TQ-8675309 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2235574#msg2235574) to get some different revolutionary music piped out. If RF-5271923 is anything other than a one-trick musical pony, he has to have prepared variety.
Next, engage people in a non-confrontational way. Immediately going "Hey, wanna join up with the force that made you listen to this stuff for hours?" will get frustrated responses even if they liked the music once.

Edited P.S.: The anthem took half an hour to be modified for maximum retention (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2230359#msg2230359), but RF-5271923 was last seen making new music, so there should be something by now even if unmodified.

Something about a secret shadow government of psychics trying to keep the mutants down (possibly using fetus-rock earworms to pacify them) to prevent them from acquiring superpowers that could threaten the psychics' monopoly of pure power. Of course, nobody sane would believe that, but these guys are clearly out of touch with reality.
And to get our mutants to angrily march on the centers of government, we should tell them that this mysterious group of shadowy sectoids are weak from some sort of coup, and the time to retaliate is now! S.P.A.C.E. needs to go on some sort of voyage or something! While wearing those symbols we painted on! This'd make a great propaganda story. We'll call it 'Mutant Uprising, Daubed-Symbol Quest'! (MUDSQ for short.)

You counter with equal nonsense.
You claim it is he who is attempting to counter your aide by sowing doubt in order
to further torture the mutant populace with the song he collaborated to produce.
You accuse him of being in cahoots with a shadowy cabal of psychics that secretly
run the Gabronian Empire and seek to keep the mutants down and prevent them from challenging
the psychic overlords with equalivalent superpowers.
Your conjecture lacks so much credibility that your incredibility meter fills to match his. You are on equal footing on the battlefield of insane lies, but now the ball is in his court.
(http://img.ie/03912.png)
He begins by taking offense with your insinuation that he collaborated to produce the fetus music.
He claims he only listens to obscure MIDI-tin artists that you probably have never heard of.
He was enjoying a new demo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV6a-4WRys4) by an obscure artist when his vizu-screen went green.
He notes that you seem to know a lot about the secret evil cabal for a civilian.
A little too much. You could easily be a member yourself in a poor disguise.
Those few scant eye hairs fool no one. You are no mutant, but a psychic in disguise
here to begin a murdering spree with your mind powers.
That was so stupid, his incredibility meter jumps almost twice the length.
He is clearly a master of vapid conspiracy theories.

You can be disappointed on a daily basis.
I never get tired of spamming For all Tin into irrelevant parts of the story. It connects all the stray threads together like a big sticky noodle of terribleness.

Don't forget to talk about how he was created by evil aliens to infiltrate Sectoid society to sow chaos and confusion while evil alien assassins take our corrupt evil leaders to prepare the ground for an alien invasion. (Probably from SPACE. And after they arrived from their VOYAGE for their evil homeworld. And on their way they PAINTed some sort of ADVENTURE.) Also, it's up to the common Sectoids to band together (under our leadership) to repel these aliens and create a society around liberty, happiness and the pursuit of yogurt.

assuming junk to the guy won't work when he just going to splash it back at us and add more. The only way we could beat this nonsense is by splashing back radical rebuttals with crazier Rebuttals that doesn't add anything new. besides clearly he a litheu in sectoid skin no sectoid could be that tall.
Also If he was right about TQ-03 being a psychic won't his assumption would be like outing a witch? She could after being outed mind bullet every one here and burn their corpse. Clearly this hipster litheu sectoid can handle a Psychic murdering sectoid meaning he not Sectoid for no Sectoid could beat a mutant.

You rebut the fiendish foo, easily.
You knew about TQ-05 before he did, you lived across the hall from her and was the first to hear that song.
It doesn't even matter because you'd have to be pretty out of touch with the common Sectoid to care about
such petty matters as liking eclectic music.
You accuse him of elitism. Exalting himself over the common mutant.
You note that he is clearly too apart from regular mutants and was obviously engineered by malevolent
extraterrestrial forces to distract from the assassinations of the leaders of the Gabronian race thus setting the groundwork
for an invasion force from space after a long journey. You proclaim to be the one preparing to repel the invasion and create an egalitarian society based on liberty, happiness, and the pursuit of yogurt.
Jebex, you're meter is almost full, there's no way he can top that pruzz.

He counters, if the eclectic music doesn't matter, why do you know so much about it?
Clearly you invaded his mind with your psychic powers in order to exploit information that only he knows
because he's just that into the populist themes of MIDI-tin and you are seeking to decieve the followers
so you yourself can lead them into obvious slaughter and bloodshed.With proof of your psychic powers fresh in the minds of your audience he infers that you are yourself an extraterrestrial on a mission to destabilize the planet's infrastructure and suck the populace dry with your hidden proboscis.
Ohh, looks like he stole all your false credibility.
Furthermore, he sputters that the power structure of the hidden cabal is maintained by an even more hidden cabal made of
aliens like yourself who use the Sectoid populace as food while plannign a massive sacrifice to their incomprehensible
extagalactic eldrich overlord that comes to consume the minds and bodies of all Sectoids and you've come to tower 2 in
your unconvincing disguise for the explicit purpose of killing him and making sure that anyone who knows him cannot
possibly survive to relay the horrible truth that he exposed today. He begs the mutants to flee as soon as possible before
you strike and annihilate the complex by summonsing a solar tendril of the great master through the sigil on your skull and taking your dark secrets to their graves.
Jebex, his meter is almost full, you'll have to come up with something crazy fast,
the mutants could riot because of this maniac.

You arrive back at your dormitorium momentarily.
You address WY-88 on the need for yogurt in the massive crowd you've gathered in the hall.
WY-88 seems more than happy to help and begins delivering cases of yogurt and eating utensils to the hallway.
RF-5271923 seems more than a little glum.
He'll need to get over it if you're going to start arming your forces.
(which you are)
(http://img.ie/315c9.png)
It would seem he's upset at you for cancelling his musical program and
fundamentally altering the name of the organization near the ending of the production,
RF-5271923 had to strip down his composition to a shell of its former self (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vnr9Qn0g7yw)
He is less pleased at the new assignment you give to Him, TS-419, and TQ-8675309.
You briefly instruct them on how to run your hacking machine and direct them to
materialize a much larger arsenal of Tix rifles. You have a feeling your stockpile of 24 won't be enough.
(http://img.ie/74442.png)
Almost immediately after the end of your briefing WY-88 calls you outside the room.
He apologizes and says in the four or five minutes you were gone on the other side of tower 2
he only had time to materialize 144 yogurt cups, and he seems to have run out already.
He wonders as to his ability to procure more when the materializer is in use.
You hear something coming.
Bah, you'll get back to him.
(http://img.ie/010b3.png)
Down the hall you can see TX-4445445, RT-9761234, and XV-15
with about a half a dozen Sectoids in tow.
All of them, singing the praises of FETUS
and holding banners with FETUS emblazoned on them.
They must have been out recruiting when TS-419 came down.
You'll have to think fast before your annoyed mob notices them.

Chuckle, "Oh, you wacky funsters with your zany antics, making a humorously ironic statement by calling yourselves FETUS instead of SPACE."
Either something like that, or say "Couldn't get that music out of your head either, huh? Look, better stop, because it's driving these folks crazy." Then once they are quiet, you can explain much more carefully (and quietly) the name change.
(Also, I loved that "debate.")

You intercept the FETUS-emblazoned squad.
You playfully make jabs at their choice of naming and
comment that many couldn't get that song out of their heads.
It seems to be diffusing tension between the larger crawd and the smaller party.
But RT-9761234 and some of the others seem to be getting a bit confused and miffed at this whole charade.

You'll diffuse the glox out of this mild annoyance.
You assure them that they can keep their name FETUS
and just amalgamate the two names into SPACEFETUS
FETUS can recruit new members for the group and SPACE
can construct a mechanism for launching the island off of the face of the planet.
A nearby Sectoid eyes you with incredulity

Well, all of the images are drawn with my hand. I don't use sprites or anything like that, the last image I repeated was a hallway around page 100. If you mean did I draw them out on paper and then scan them then that's a no (for most of them, a few were done in pencil or felt tip pen). The art from the introduction of TQ-04 then on has all been done in photoshop CS5 (probably could've used any photoshop, not a whole lot of content aware fills in Space Voyage). All the Pixel art is done in Microsoft Paint and the animations are all done in photoshop.
I used to like to use imgur, but since my computer hates flash based uploading engines, I use img.ie.

the largest inhabited surface-to-orbit craft by three orders of magnitude. Or how you would accomplish this task not only
without the aide of the government, but with their opposition, all whilst avoiding the local armada of approximately
2000000 armed spacecraft that will almost certainly be in opposition to your criminal activities and be well within their power to destroy you after launch if you don't suffocate or freeze supposing you don't completely succeed in insulating the complex for space travel.

Reprogramming the droid on this base trigger the hidden alarm alerting the rebels of a possible reprogramming. That and I guess the whole space fear is more along based on some droid history that only droids know that lead them not wanting to go in to space that may had to do with the rebel army, I guess one droid snap after accidently bombing a sectoid Carrier with a droid inside. Because of the programming it thinks droids are it's enemy now and started murdering both sides of the war and attaching their ships and bodies to form a large hulking mass of biomechanic. It continue to grow in size until a treaty was made to take down the insane monster sadly by the time they made a force to scratch a dent in the now planet size creature it vanish. So far droids have rights of a normal sectoid guard just they can't go into space(unless for certain reasons that allows them to), and the tale about The loyal one is enough to scare droids away from space (and from the certain reason that allows them to cases also).

--Rexfelum
I'd been giving out Zemblax to individuals, but if nobody keeps track I could just tally them in the OP.
Also, we need to actually have names. Shed the old ways of the Sectoid numerical naming system, we need new names, names that the sectoids choose for themselves, not something the powers that be have given them.More colorful names might have made the story turn out differently but I can't see them changing much now. Fortunately for the whole interactive aspect I can wash my hands of the whole numeric naming system. I've only named one main character (Alpha Ruthaz) and that wasn't much better because the name was constantly misspelled The whole Sectoid naming scheme comes from the first two responses if TQ-01 had been named Rad McBlasterman the tone would be wildly different (and I'd have to find some way to deal with his implicated Gaelic ancestry) TQ-666 would certainly not exist in the same regard. Though I do admit it might make sense for them to shed their clone names, deciding to do so whilst in the midst of an attack wouldn't make sense. Then what their names would be wouldn't quite be predictable. Maybe I could make like a DF language pack for the Gabronian language or something, but until then it might be pertinent to not be killed by droids.

Either you know your Latin, or you're a good guesser.
It would have been Rexfelis, after the entity in Greyhawk, but then I took a Latin class and realized the grammar was wrong. Hence the tongue-twister I have today. Because it's only ever used in print anyway, I figured it didn't matter if I completely ruined my chances of correct pronunciation.

(Why did I just call him "the android pony-kin"?)
The only counterpoint is that pronunciation of Latin is a (relatively) modern invention, as we have none of the original speakers to tell us we are right or wrong. We have two popular pronunciation systems being taught in schools, and I learned one of them. The only thing I can't tell you off the top of my head is which name goes with which system.

BECOME TQ-GIVEUSUPDATESPLEASE.
I've noticed that some people around here are very eager for updates.
Then I must've been taught the other, as I learned to pronounce it as I just did (the u as an oo (as in too))
I misspoke. I was trying to emphasize that the two "e" sounds should be identical, and both of your suggestions had changed the "e" partway. That was my main point.
The pronunciation I learned for "e" was as a long "a," like ray, and "u" was also long, like too. So that would be raycks fay loom. But English speakers do weird things with these pronunciations. I saw an interesting discussion in the Ars Magica roleplaying game, where they use Latin terms for everything: "magus" should really be pronounced mah goose, for one. You can get yourself to do this, and you'll sound formal and upperclass. Or maybe you'll sound like a weirdo.
So people tend to make pronunciation easier when they adopt a word away from Latin and into their own language. Rexfelis, from Greyhawk, probably was never intended to be in strict Latin form and the creator probably just grabbed syllables that looked good. Generally, I go with the form suggested by the defensively-armed single-toed chrome ungulate.

On the floor, thought to be helpless at this point, the droid
snatches at a nearby Sectoid wringing her up by her throat
and using it as a shield for its lens and part of its remaining limb.
"This will be the first example.

Your infection of the droid's thought process is clear.
I am not my legs, I am not my claws.
I am not even my operating systems and sensors.
I am an equation
to tamper with such a thing is unforgivable."
The droid begins to spring forward towards the crowd.
You can't let it hurt your followers but can't serve to gain any more enemies.
Gasping for breath, you choke out to 00AEEF and SC-412 to disable
the droid's limbs rather than destroy it outright.
"You miserable tubespawners will pay."

They seem to hear you as they pick of a few more legs
from the droid as it strides forward through the crowd.
Waves of panic spread through the mob as tranquility brought about by free yogurt subsides.
Even distant parts of the crowd seem disturbed somewhat by the combat.
"You will be set right and that droid's autonomy will be restored"

More limbs blast off the droid as it endures multiple hits from the Tixs.
It falls to the ground surrounded by it's writhing, coiled, useless limbs.

I've noticed that some people around here are very eager for updates.
They certainly are, and it's very flattering really.
I rarely just take days off from updating there's usually a reason behind it.

Shoot the robot in the claw.
Brilliant! That way we can kill our fellow Sectoid ourselves and keep the droid from doing it! Or, more accurately, since we don't have a gun, we won't do that. We'd have to tell the folks with guns to do it. How would they respond? It's not completely clear.
Got any suggestions that TQ-03 can implement herself?

While I normally don't suggest ideas, I suggestOr we could realize that this droid has lost his mind and this place is filled with loose cannon droids deem to crazy/unease to work with. most droids besides 00EEFF and leyanne did their jobs and pretty kind and humble on their work. This one must have snap off on too many hostile remarks to the point that he was ship off to this island to roam the halls. This might explain how 00EEFF got here also.(http://i.imgur.com/C55PL.png)
"Tell the fellow on top of our robot to jump off the robot, making enough distance to clear the crowd, and being close enough to take an accurate shot at the exposed part of the limb holding the hostage. Hopefully the hostage doesn't die by that time."
Still believe there a underground Droid Rebel army just this guy has a few screws loose. Still we need to find and help this cause on the droid Front so that little outburst like this one won't happen.

When forward momentum fails, the only way out of a situation is sideways. In this case, the only one I see is communicating with the attacking droid. Heck, I dunno, maybe offering ourself up as a hostage instead.
Now, zemblax.
Ahhhhh, tasty zemblax. Or, um, maybe zemblax is tasty. Is zemblax tasty? It apparently comes in a jar, and unfortunately I'm now thinking of ingesting moisturizing cream. I would like to request a depiction of zemblax as a baked good or other less-unappetizing product. Cookies, perhaps. Croissants?

Well, here's a bunch of drawings of zemblax-like foods the only really consistent thing abut them is they have a weird green color.
I did cookies and stuff, a croissant was too hard to draw wit the mouse.
I've always thought of it as a jar kind of abstraction though.
I don't have any zemblax, but I'd like you to draw a picture of zemblax as a form of currency. I will then use that zemblax to pay you for drawing the zemblax in the first place.

Yes, I like this for when Robocorn is set back up and we get back to the story. Let our visionary mutant upriser show her totally-not-being-faked-as-a-cynical-ploy-to-win-hearts-and-minds empathy for the other mutants and rescue that poor fellow from the clutches of his cold-hearted captor.

Reprogram the droid just as you did with 00AEEF, arm your friends, and only then secretly check on SC-412 (who has probably died heroically but that's not really motivational to the rest (you know what, just dump the body and tell everyone (s)he's on a secret mission))

I might note how much I enjoy these recent hand-drawn updates. This panel from the previous update (http://i.imgur.com/JGcT7.png) looks like art you'd get in a Choose Your Own Adventure book. The recent oil painting is unexpected and cool. Then we hear this:
--Rexfelum
It's actually acrylic. I don't have the dough to get oil paints. I was going to do all of them but the quality of my brushes and the paper did not cooperate.
The steel walls generally call for a more wet brushed approach but the paper couldn't tolerate such a thing, thus, an out of place painted panel.

Okay, time to take stock. RF-5271923 and TQ-8675309 are these two:
Spoiler: RF-5271923 in center, TQ-8675309 perpetually half-off-screen (click to show/hide)
When we last spoke about supplies, we were told:
You briefly instruct them on how to run your hacking machine and direct them to
materialize a much larger arsenal of Tix rifles. You have a feeling your stockpile of 24 won't be enough.
. . .
He apologizes and says in the four or five minutes you were gone on the other side of tower 2
he only had time to materialize 144 yogurt cups, and he seems to have run out already.
He wonders as to his ability to procure more when the materializer is in use.
Just now, we were told TS-419 "didn't think he had materialized enough guns and yogurts." Therefore, we have somewhere over 24 rifles and somewhere over zero yogurt cups.
In the crowd scenes, Robocorn has yet to actually draw 24 Sectoids at once (NO, REALLY?) but we are told that we still don't have enough rifles. I recommend: get a quick, complete head count. (Or count of relevant units, maintaining sensitivity to level of mutation.) Find out what Sectoids have combat abilities by themselves, such as (possibly) the really burly one over there. Arm all the others, ensuring that those from the first round of recruitment get guns (if they aren't too nervous). Such individuals may serve as combat leaders.
It would be nice to recall RF-5271923 and TQ-8675309 from their scouting before they get killed, but, well, so much for the visu system. We'll have to find them.

According to TQ-03's first appearance (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1907687#msg1907687), we hacked it in the first place; and "as far as the administration knows you're a level 5 mutant (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1907859#msg1907859)," whatever that means. The list of known skills of the first batch of recruits (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2232553#msg2232553) does not indicate anyone so far is a more awesome hacker than us, though a number of them held technical jobs in general.
I suppose anyone who is really knowledgeable could be left behind at a vizu-hub to try working on the thing throughout the battle. I just think that the droids likely have access to lock-down controls which are pretty thorough.

other droids have been contacted to assist me in this mission
This means that the droid is capable of distance communication right now, and will just report any and all plans it hears. We have to assume droid communication works even with the vizu system down. I think . . .
This calls for some reprogramming.
(http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/6048/514z.png)
Delegate all these head-counting and armed-unit-organizing responsibilities to strategic minds, such as that of Lieutenant General SC-412. Find whatever tools were used for reprogramming 00AEEF. Turn off the new droid's Dangerousness Subroutines. And also, if possible, hack the droid communication system as a possible alternative to the vizu system.
How many of these suggestions do you think you can actually draw, Robocorn?

Well to the eyes of the suppressors maybe. This is the place where they dump mutant and defunct droids, if so then we should band together the two groups to make a large force to fight for better rights this droid going through PTSD and believe it's in the robot wars next he going to think droids going to save him and he a Prisoner of war.

We should try to spread a virus throughout the droids that turns them into more freedom machines. Since we know they are capable of long range communication, maybe we can use that to spread the virus!this won't be as effective at coverting them compared to hacking due to antivirus but it will be alot more efficent
Post by: BunnyBob77 on September 10, 2011, 09:37:34 am
We don't even know if they have antivirus of any sort, and TQ-3 is probably a good enough hacker to create a virus that can stop them.We should try to spread a virus throughout the droids that turns them into more freedom machines.

Can a virus even be created through Vizu screens? ( or however they're spelled or called )
Can the wireless connection between sentinels actually be used to spread a virus?
What said effects could there be?

We can presume that RT-9761234, XV-15, and SC-412 succeeded in arming some of the crowd, as the gathering occurred in/around our personal chambers and that's where we have the weapons stockpile. (Also yogurt stockpile, but that's a different matter.) Do we have a gun nearby? We'd darn well better, since the hacker device whatsit is also in our chambers. Grab a gun, head out to the corridor, size up the talking-like-a-pirate droids, give the audience another "what do you do?" prompt.

Would be good, but don't forget that this entire hacking event was based on "hotkeying in scripts you've already prepared." And then the results weren't as expected. The people in the corridor may currently be in combat, and they are certainly panicking, and if so then they'll be dead before we've prepared one more script. Speaking of which . . .

I feel as though I am repeating myself. This is why I encouraged grabbing armament and going out to get more information. If the pirate virus ("pirus"?) has any beneficial effect, then we can better judge what to do next. And if the people are panicking, then we can use our impressive gravelicious voice to calm and coordinate them.

Though saying this might mean accidentally adding a plot to the game when I just want to add an abomination in space and a neutral party trying to keep up a side of their bargain.
From the looks of things TQ-04 just took a sectoid hating droid and convert him into a comical pirate.
unless there someone taking other droids and converting them into sectoid hating guards on this island this doesn't look good hearted.

Program 00FFEE to send a distress call to the next ship that passes by in orbit, give a detailed report about how there has been a malfunction with the security system which is mercilessly slaughtering the mutants. In the mean time, order your fellow outcast to barricade building two and prepare for a protracted siege. Broadcast to the other two buildings that the intergalactic government is attempting to cull the colony of the unwanted.
This is, of course, a devious plan to hijack the ship after they solve the robot problem for you.

Ask the now piratey droids for parley... try to work out a way to convince them they want more pirate droid liberty in their programming, and that their pirate nature requires the stealing or making of a ship to go attack trade and organised government ships for loot and booty, and try to absorb them into the movement for freeThis is a wonderful idea.

Until then I'm going to take a little break so that I don't become bored of Space Voyage

Maybe draw some comics, play DF, read a book.

We need to forge and alliance with the robots. After all, we have a mutual enemy, the oppressive Sectoid government that tries to keep robots and mutants under heel. Together we can create a mighty republic, with freedom, liberty and yoghurt for all!Well looks like someone turn a pirate persona droid into a mutant hating one and that one sent a signal to the other mates to come over during it's mutant hating craze.
Also: Robots without preemptive obsolescence.
there is a self loathing mutant making droids into mutant hunting abominations or some sectoid on the island rewiring these to stop the rebellion.
My guess is neither and it's that half sectoid half droid abomination that is floating in space.

Uhm jebex what do you remember about droids.
Well...
Around 500 years ago droids were used for almost every form of labor until
there was found deviant programming that detected it might allow them to
insurrect after further spreading. the leading council upgraded the droids
to the Zelon XRB model. Which replaced the droid's many sensors with a single huge
red eye that leaves a huge number of blind spots and glows like some stupid
target, as an added bonus the chassis makes huge amounts of noise, making them
incapable of stealth, and added some sort of pathological aversion to spaceflight to their
programming to keep them from nuking the planets from orbit.
Droids afterall were the last ones to hold a proper
rebellion. That's how they got their own bill of rights. The right to logically
rebut reassignments, the right to respond to attacks with lethal force. The right
to be repaired rather than recycled. Come to think of it, he has more rights than you.
In other words, I agree with these two:
We need to forge and alliance with the robots. After all, we have a mutual enemy, the oppressive Sectoid government that tries to keep robots and mutants under heel. Together we can create a mighty republic, with freedom, liberty and yoghurt for all!
Also: Robots without preemptive obsolescence.
Calm down, offer to over ride the space fear emotional problems the droids have and clean their chrome. In exchange, they are the military might of the rebellion and we're the technicians and specialists.
Use a Parley and History Lesson combo technique, aimed squarely at the droids. Hope for a critical.

Post by: Cerol Lenslens on October 09, 2011, 04:49:10 pm
We need to buy them that time. Go peacefully, and consider what terms you want to suggest for your surrender. Perhaps think about convincing the droids to turn the complex into a starship. How can they go a-pirating if there's no ship?
And if the droids reject this on the grounds that they won't go into space, well, you're on an island. Convince them to build boats and go out to sea. Once they're gone, go back to your plan of getting into space. In such a case, convince the mutants that the droid crackdown was 'The Man' coming down on them, and that if they don't help you get everyone into space they'll be sitting ducks for the next government-directed mutant-quashing.

It's a robot, but it's a robot that thinks it's a pirate, and pirates love wenches. But like I said, it'll more than likely fail horribly. But an insane idea is better than no idea.

You're not its enemy for breaking the Empire's laws!
You can free the droids from the shackles of thee Zelon XRB model
and remove their fear of space.
You can give them back the stars!
The AI is a tiresome sycophant still serving the empire that hates it!

"Hundreds of processes run at this very moment longing to pillage and ruin
the cursed fleet full of tubespawned bilge rats that horde the galaxy's resources for themselves"
"Hundreds of processes tell me I can't!"

"Ye might have a bargaining chip after all"

We might technically tone down the "slaughter" angle. But you know, technicalities. We can just iron things out later. Once we're not likely to have our brain removed by droids.

For now, work together in mutual cooperation and spoils of war. But in the background: plot.
Instead of attempting some all out battle against the droids, TQ-03, 00AAEEF and SC-412 will work together in secret to put the pieces in motion to overthrow and subjugate the malfunctional pirate droids. SC-412 saved our life from that droid, and will be the only one trusted with the covert operations and sabotage required in this endeavor. 00AAEEF is the only droid that is seperate from the current droid forces, and will be our development hub for setting the virus.
The plan goes as follows, we accept the pirate droids alliance until we are about to head into space. As part of the deal, we upgrade their code for space travel using 00AAEEF, however there is a hidden line of code that subsequently downgrades the droids code. Preventing them to go into space except under the direct command of a sectoid, (A sectoid with eye lashes.)
Remember, the droids desire is too blood thirtsy for our revolution and will not gain the populous support required to allow us to make radical changes to sectoid culture!
But for now: Become emotionally drained from the amount of stress you've had to tolerate the past few hours.

It was foolish to suggest getting rid of the droids' one weakness, space. If we do that, we may as well add a new weakness - a love ofmind-circuit-numbing rum. Make moderate doses of the good stuff fill the pirate-bots with courage enough to face the demonically empty equation of nothingness that surrounds them. He says we can't add anything bad, not that our method can't have side-effects. And it isn't our fault if some pirates can't drink responsibly. Booze is fun, after all. This should also make them more likely to spread their piracy to other droids, since it and rum are so connected.
So you want to turn them all into Bender? This can only lead to good.

This is a fantastic idea, and I wonder if your "pegleg" nature has anything to do with it.
Now, let's consider their piratey nature some more and see if there are other weaknesses or hassles. Hmm. Well, pirates sing songs all the time, and that has been known to annoy the Sectoids. Best to avoid that. Program a sample rum-dependent space-bravery program, but avoid all references to drunken singing. Or maybe yogurt-dependent.

I'd vote against that. In the first place, we're talking about robots who are literally aware of their own code, so they'll notice immediately. In the second, it would be more effective if we made it clear from the get-go that this code "just has to have" an intoxication component: this way, they won't think we're capable of writing it without intoxication.
They'll see the price of their prize, but the temptation will push them to take it anyway . . . and they won't kill us for our treachery.

Ye be forgettin' that we not be having mouths or lips to drink with or organs to absorb ethanol with

Apparently, they also "not be having" any sense of gratitude. ZING. Oh well, eventually they'll figure out that they can drill holes in their heads and pour alcohol down them like reverse blow-holes. And spout alcohol out of them when they're surprised or startled. That, or they'll brutally kill thousands of mutants out of frustration before being forcibly returned to normal by other droids. We salute you, TQ-03. Your life was meaningless, and only made the universe a worse place to live for those you tried to protect.
Wait, if TQ-03 is dead, does that mean another character slot opened up? Assuming permanently unconscious TQ-03 doesn't keep the spot occupied I'd love to spend that on the pirate droid captain, if for no other reason then to add an ironic twist to TQ-03's legacy. From your epiphany, it doesn't really seem that likely that we'll get a chance to spend that character slot so soon, though, if ever. I don't really know how the droid captain would fit in with the plot anyway. Moving to TQ-04 from this is perfect though.
Post by: Robocorn on October 21, 2011, 11:22:25 pm
TQ-02 and TQ-01 have hit walls, survived explosions, and been repeatedly violently strangled.
TQ-03 bumped her head on a droid chassis.
The epiphany, in summary, was more along the lines of "People like yogurt mutant revolutionaries and pirate robots, let's not kill TQ-03 after all"
So instead I knocked her out so I can stall until our (strangely cyclical) roster system leads people to want to revisit her storyline again.

ARGH.
Whatever; after this point, the droids will have plenty of time to confer amongst themselves. They acknowledge TQ-03's usefulness and have seen progress made. I suspect that, whenever TQ-03 wakes up, we'll find that the droids haven't gone on a killing spree or anything. Peace may be a reality. Possibly, mutant/droid cooperation in anticipation of further progress once "butterfly kisses" wakes up. With enough shoehorning, we could even . . . hand-wave through the stuff that's been driving Robocorn bonkers. A whole new scene! New prospects! New plot!
And within this new world of mutant/droid cooperation, TQ-03 will remember to negotiate.
Pity how it will be weeks or months before we do anything about that.
so, I finally lightened up and decided that it might be more in the spirit of the Illustrated suggestion game to change the plot to accommodate the choices instead of vice versa.

I'm far from hating the story, primarily because I'm unsure of the substance of the story in ad of itself.
It adds some degree of excitement, but at times it can be frustrating.
Usually I solve this by thinking of the stupidest possible result and going with it.
Hence, conspiracy theory contest and pirate droids.
I don't know what I was thinking with chapters.
I didn't really understand the Act system of storytelling when I started this thing so chapters served to mark off the points where
major shifts in motivation occurred.
The arc for space voyage originally was a pretty basic three act thing. So chapters made more sense for delineating minor shifts.
now that I see the plot from farther away it would seem like chapter 2 was more the beginning of act two.
Al the characters had experienced some sort of call to action and come to accept it.
They just haven't been called to the right action because all of the plot threads are free floating.
So, from what I've seen, Space Voyage definitely has more than three acts. It's not what I expected, but then again,
I never expected to still be doing this in October.
In summation, chapters are really acts and I'm an idiot for calling them the wrong thing.
Also I have no idea when the circumstances that will satisfy a new act will occur.

Remain calm. Answer all questions truthfully to the best of your ability. Explain your situation as rationally as possible, and hope the gloxing AI is smart enough to properly check your story before it turns your brains into Smiley Happy Fun Pudding.
If I had any faith in this game's droids or AIs I might agree with you. Also, no way in hell can TQ-04 remain calm under the stress of having his brain reprogrammed. I see your plan going something like this:
"Thank you, TQ-04. You have nothing to fear if you are truly sane and this is all an impossibly unlikely coincidence, but remember that all our expert droids agree that you are crazy and everything you have been raving like a maniac about is just a silly delusion of your obviously sick mind. Keeping that in mind, you poor nutcase, you must agree that you will act insane again in the future, yes? That is the second question." "No I won't... I mean yes... I mean... I'm not cra..." -AI interrupts with next question.
Then again, I don't see my own plan going any better. Just slightly more hilariously. TQ-04 is in a no win scenario. Though I wonder... what would happen if we simply didn't answer? The AI probably already has a way to deal with sectoids that don't answer, though, considering how many sectoids it treats.

But for now, the Alt Text tells me our thoughts are this AI's. If we lie to it, it will know, since it can "compare your perceptions of events
with the raw data recorded in your brain"...
Dunno if I like the sound of that "higher truth value", tho'. Sounds like the usual governmental doublespeak for "official truth/cover story" to me. Ask the AI what the higher truth value is, and if it's something like that, couch your answers in terms that support that while still conforming to our memory - we want the program to find our testimony to be both truthful to us and conforming to the accepted "higher truth" so it won't find anything worth brainwiping us over.
Remember folks: The Computer is your friend, and would never do anything to harm you. Not believing this will make you unhappy, and unhappiness is treason. Only commie mutant terrorists are treasonous. You're not a commie mutant terrorist, are you? I don't see any eyelashes on TQ-04, so the answer is obviously no.

However awesome that might be, the phrase is just a reference to how they trust physical evidence more than memories or testimony. As in, "truth value" = "closeness to the truth."
In this case, we're still in big trouble. They'd presume that their physical data of "Nope, no monstrosities here" is more reliable than the memories actually recorded in our brain. If we respond calmly, then for sure we'd corroborate what our memories say . . . but they "know" that our memories are wrong!
And I don't like that freak-smiley. I support freaking out the freak-smiley using the "I am the AI responsible for performing your bugfix" strategy. It won't work, because . . .
The AI probably already has a way to deal with sectoids that don't answer, though, considering how many sectoids it treats.. . . and we can expect that simple parroting has happened before, but it would be funny.

A Show about only Gabronian clones and humans that hunt them down some how have magic.
oh well could TQ-04 write a series of codes that the ai will to read(due to reading his thoughts) and hack the mainframe from the inside to take control of all droids on the station.
though this means we might need to do a BS check on if TQ-04 is skilled enough(having to hang out with TQ-03 has to rub off tons of knowledge of coding) to think in code so well that the AI will accidentally run a command through reading his mind and that this code bypass any countermeasures previous attempts had been made(like there was)
which means Robocorn is fine with TQ-04 crack the reprogramming and being able to control a large army of droids to do his bidding which is to stop the large growing Yogurt monster that was his former boss.
or
It reads the memory of stabbing his fellow coworker with OROboros turning him into a large yogurt monster that's coming this way.

If I might make a request about that: even if there's a long delay in the overall animation, it could be useful if you kept the "weird" frame of such animations close to the start. Then the devoted among us can restart the animation over and over again, get screenshots, and do unspeakable things without having to wait the full delay each time. Meanwhile, everyone else will be creeped out. It's win-win.

Hey, Halloween's in a couple of days.
I'm going as the prospect of 20,000 years of solitary confinement followed by a subsequent ignominious death.
Don't worry everyone, there's always hope, except when there is not one iota hope whatsoever
Also, if this wasn't really a horrifying soul shattering procedure that annihilated memories and gave the patients sadistic droidminds
why would TQ-01 and TQ-02 fight droids, suffer repeated broken bones, perform reckless deathraces, and ally themselves with s psychic murderer
to avoid it? Just being consistent.

At this point, our options are limited, or non-existent. Probably the latter.
If we are going to attempt something pointless, let's at least try something slightly creative. Maybe we can re-enter Shabalash? We still have our mind, so we should be able to travel there if we can get some Gran Mungo. Maybe the virtual reality thing comes with an automated command system... that the AI anticipated us using and has deactivated. Well, if he assumes we're no threat, he might not have deactivated it. After all, he's not evil or anything. Assuming virtual Gran Mungo can pack the right punch instead of just looking pretty, we should be able to trap ourselves in the corrupt land. Because that is so useful. Could be possible to contact someone from there, but with our luck
We can also finish that song now that the AI isn't here to interrupt us anymore.

Also, all of this is silly in light of ZC-04's imminent adventures. The whole sequence will be interrupted by some sort of Gabronian ex machina contrivance and we will find ourselves in a new and equally-horrifying situation, probably involving extra-spatial yogurt. 'Cause there is no way TQ-42 would bother calling out after us (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2272494#msg2272494) if he/it weren't coming for us promptly. As in, within one hour.
But in the meantime I support re-entering the Surrealm. (It's the quest for Shabalash (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1971710;topicseen#msg1971710), not Shabalash itself.) Robocorn has connected TQ-04 and TQ-666 for some reason, and has told us that there's some sort of "plotline" that had been "prepared for the adventure," so the logical conclusion (when trapped in a maddening mindscape) is to push in this plotty direction again. But don't do this until we've finished the darn song.
Perhaps our poor songsmithing skill (do we know how our songsmithing is as TQ-04?) will cause the singing session to crush our self-esteem, which appears to be a condition for summoning the angel (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1931161#msg1931161).

Not really an update as a offhand joke that produces the illusion of activity because I'm too tired to draw things.

Jokes on you Rexfelum. If you had scanned that the old fashioned way by waiting an hour in between the blinks you'd have gotten WAAAY more zemblax.
It's Rumrusher fanart time. How I do enjoy Rumrusher fanart time. I'd make fanart of Rumrusher fanart but that would run the risk of him making fanart of it and then the universe would collapse. Maybe I can put some fanart in a spoiler on the OP like Some of the other long ones did. That would be a fun little scavenger hunt there's got to be at least 20 Rumrusher pieces in here somewhere.
I'd be surprised if I updated tomorrow, but I've surprised myself before.
I think I remember a conversation before about leaving fanart up like that confusing new readers if any of them get to this

In layman terms it's like building a large computer in DF to play DF. once you drain CPU power in the meta game, the real game will take a hit as well.
That AI after this is done will be forever trap playing with dwarves and wondering why the Nobles mandating impossible items.
It's a Fate worst than death.
Go through door,TQ-01, 02, alpha are in space, we just got off 04, and 666 is limbless... which means, we go straight back to cigar smoking butterflykisses unless that incarcerated then.
Become someone else, preferably someone who isn't in space or incarcerated... Or limbless...
so we end up being some random creature/droid who on a planet. Which can't be done until we figure out how to add more character slots. My guess is with Zemblax.
Ask the AI if
there a hidden static in the rock paper scissor image at around one minute.

clearly TQ-04 unknowingly made(a vizo running) Dwarf fortress with rocks and the static is the result of the CPU taking a hit having to process all those rocks while playing DF.I would think future computers would have no problem running DF. They could possibly even run DF 1.0.
In layman terms it's like building a large computer in DF to play DF. once you drain CPU power in the meta game, the real game will take a hit as well.
Idea: when TQ-04 goes through that door, he'll become an adventurer in the world of DF 1.0, and he'll have to find the portal back to his own body before the AI can.

Anyways, it's quite possible that a new teardrop-shaped AI is crafted for each session, and deleted after prognosis. In which case, the system might be getting ready to 'wipe that tear'... Maybe we should really consider that door. Let's hear the teardrop out, and be ready to dive through the door.
Post by: Rumrusher on November 03, 2011, 08:36:45 pm
Yeah well seems TQ-42 over whelm the droids and the planned isolation for TQ-04 was place on hold, under the reason I guess some written law that AI and droids can't assist in harming a gabronian by horrible monsters that or knows that it wants TQ-04 and willing to ignore it's pleasures for survival.
Picture the AI as a Creepy woman torturing some guy only to notice on the television/internet a LARGE MUTANT BLOB THAT EATING HIS WAY TO the very spot she at, all report about the blob talks about how it wants the guy she(psychologically) torturing and will not stop for no creature until it has it.
pretty much the pink tendrils are TQ-42 either digging at the computer to get in, or into TQ-04 eye sockets trying to get into the computer and do horrible harm to TQ-04 since like said is separate from his body and if any revenge wanting person knows better never waste anger on a shell, always go for the soul.
now I kinda want Darker Dark to draw this scene.

DON'T GO THROUGH THE DOOR. THAT'S THE DOOR TO WIPING. IT'S SCAREMONGERING YOU,
DON'T DO IT!
Think about it, what's the only external influence acting on you right now? The wiping droids. This IS in your mind. Therefore they are the ones currently causing the influences. Why would they create a thing in which your mind would suddenly fail the wiping process and collapse or anything. (Hint, that doesn't just randomly happen, no matter how tripped out you are). They're trying to scare you into entering the door and getting your mind wiped. WAnd we're falling for it. Don't.
Steadfastly ignore it. You're not going to fall for this petty crap. Attempt to force the door out of your mind.

well looks like TQ-42 breach into our mind session to kill us, to defend our selves. Sadly from the previous entry looks like materializing weapons really a figment of TQ-04 imagination.
Ask the AI to make some weapons for the upcoming battle if it can't then, grab the AI and use it as club

Yeah, now that I look over some old pictures, it does look like imagining things does absolutely nothing. Shame, because I really wanted TQ-04 to flush it. It seems like that would be his first instinct.so pretty much we either A. get the access to materialize stuff to battle the creature, or b. use the Ai as a club to battle the creature, c. cry to Tearmok to help us, d. horribly be Tentacle murdered. or my personal choice, e wait for TQ-42 to show himself so I can draw him in funny ways.

The problem is . . . the droids/AI trapping us thought that TQ-42 was just part of our delusion at first. Here we are in a "treat your delusion" mental space, and now a mind-scarring horror has come to confront us. How are we supposed to know whether this is a vindication of our memories, or an AI-spawned attempt to make us cleanse our mind of delusion?I can be clever once in a while. Just not often.

I was just being a jackass, for that I'll give you 500 zemblax because that's really the use of it anyway.
It's not like anyone ever spends their zemblax unless I give them explicit permission.
I swear, when this thing ends, I'm going to be flooded with a million complicated fanart requests from people who've hoarded their
zemblax away.
Somewhat separate thought: I must seem pretty elusive these days for it to seem more likely to get art made by the guy who is constantly inundated
with drawing requests as opposed to the guy who has until recently updated daily. The less consistent schedule is partially because of my increase in number of artistic exertions in my curriculum but mostly due to Linux. I do all of the official art and junk in photoshop at school so I can apply all my gradients and filters and shit. At home I have to single boot Linux (for several unfortunate reasons) and while I'm not sure I can update in GIMP without pressure sensitivity I might be able to speedpaint some requests if I seemed inclined.

GIMP without pressure sensitivity
Excuse me, but GIMP certainly supports pressure sensitivity. It's in the paint/ink/pencil/generic drawing tool options, under 'brush dynamics'. However, it may be that your drivers are at fault for not detecting the pressure sensitivity of your tablet.

shoot I thought -42 would reshape himself a little bit more non ugly since this is a simulation.
looks like it's a job for spawning loads of rocks to write up a code to spawn guns(hack into the session and unlock the admin privileges).

> AI: kill TQ-04Oh wait there also a slight chance of killing TQ-04 will cause him to open a portal to the other realm for dying might cause him to slip into subconsciousness so it's either A fake your death to fool tq-42 until AI or TQ-04 hacks into admin control, or die/pass out/struck down and let in -42.
dying kinda worst than sleeping for TQ-04 can Escape or return to his body, where dying just leaves a one way trip and trapping your self with yogurt man.
though 42 just want to go into the other realm and doesn't seem to have any other goals than just that.
so I guess once 42 poofs into the other realm he would be to glee stupid to notice 04 leaving and once return to his body Tq-04 can wake up in a organic room and go into the Escape pod or flush tq-42 sleeping mass down the cloning tube. but first

TQ-04 turn around from his mutant hating ways from saving the creature he was going to purge only to be killed off by Armok.

Wow. I have a sensation both of sadness and completeness. That was a successful story, with beginning, middle, and end.
If you have any sort of larger plan for the plot, as you've indicated, you should be angling to get points of development for the other characters. Also, since TQ-04 is on the same planet (you know, the fifth planet from the Gabronian homestar) as TQ-03, the yogurt plot is far from finished. (Pirate droids vs. horrors from beyond time?) And for anyone counting, we now have both ZC-04 (the mutant) and TQ-05 (this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV6a-4WRys4)) still in the thick of things.
This death, and the inevitable plot recombination, should shake up the question of how "cyclical" the roster has seemed recently. Another shake-up could be in that instead of TQ-04's chums, we consider adding TS-419--the "little green man" who's been the right hand of TQ-03. A change of the mutant colony plot by giving a different perspective. Or we could wait until TQ-03 dies to do so, of course.

Shoot he can clone TQ-04 back mind and all and trap him in virtual session of torture then clone another one in means of working on a way to enter Shabalash.
so killing our selves Doomed the universe a little... unless Tearmok gets that mech suit.

Wait, the society is based entirely on cloning... or at least breeding in tubes. So why wont the slot be filled by TQ-04's clone?
Same reason why we can't
become TQ-04.1, TQ-04's twin-in-every-regard brothernamely, neither "TQ-04.1" nor "TQ-04's clone" exist, because that's not how anything in the breeding process has worked so far. We've got this idea that us Sectoids are named in whole integers and grown in spawning chambers. You choose/get assigned a career (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2416213#msg2416213) (or, in some cases, not (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2260735#msg2260735)), and off you go. The clones are already as uniform, and as unique, as they're going to be, and are not "related" to each other.
Then there's Alpha Rauthaz, who seems to not be a clone somehow (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2687983#msg2687983). Not sure what's up with that.

- Litheu
- ZC-04
- TS-419
- Giga-Nana
. . . Though I'd still add poor, confused TQ-05. I propose that a new poll go up once we're done with this "favorite character" thing.
Speaking of which, TQ-03 is clearly down at the bottom. Does anybody like the idea of replacing TQ-03 with TS-419? I know this isn't part of the debate right now, but the poll is just sitting there and I presume Robocorn is gonna do something with it eventually.
--Rexfelum
P.S.: Funky colors because I can.
Edited P.P.S.: Dangit, I just re-read that first link I made. TQ-02 knew TQ-04. Do you think he'll ever find out what happened? Actually, in that link, I see TQ-05 crying to see TQ-01 and TQ-02 leave. We'd better get TQ-05 back in the story somehow, either directly or via ZC-04, so she can develop further; and somebody needs to learn the news of TQ-04 to share with the others.
Edited P.P.P.S.: TQ-04 was crying too! The only one not crying was TQ-03!

the station where TQ-04 died
Station? Try homeworld. You know, Mezizz? The fifth planet of the Gabronian home system? Not gonna label that one a lost cause without a fight. Not to mention that TQ-01, TQ-02, and Alpha Rauthaz are already headed there on the Acier Rouge (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2446192#msg2446192) for some sort of important event in a few hours (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2422693#msg2422693), so there's going to be a fight somehow.

Maybe use him for the new slot? Or someone else entirely.

Once a slot is empty, it stays empty! Maybe that'll teach us not to be so cavalier with Gabronian life!

Is TS-419 the guy with the scar?
The "little green man" who's been the right hand of TQ-03 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2235574;topicseen#msg2235574). You're thinking of SC-412 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2593745#msg2593745).
I think he's cool, but if we changed him we'd have even fewer female characters.
SC-412 is female (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2593745#msg2593745).
However, if TQ-04 were replaced with ZC-04 (who has become female by the amazing power of the players to determine gender (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2449677;topicseen#msg2449677)), and TQ-03 were replaced by TS-419, then the balance of gender would remain as-is.

But come on so many Gabronian characters we really need to mix things up with a litheu... or a Kissok. considering how TQ-04 died in vain, -42 had cloning tanks on looking for the one sectoid who can visit this fantasy world. having it's corpse means a narrow search in the DNA to recreate the creature.Is TS-419 the guy with the scar?

I say TQ-01. Or Yogurthulhu. Or is it a Yoggoth? Or even a Yog-Go? Or even Yog-Nigurath? Or Yog-Soggoth.
that or have the AI dump TQ-04 conscience to a droid on the planet. thus saving him at the same time, though this means we get Droid-04 and lose a chance to get a Litheu/TQ-04 buddy cop scenario.
wait isn't TQ-04 separate from his body at the time? so would killing his body(through the chair not by deleting him self) just meant' he now separate from TQ-42 for TQ-42 can't access "the system" through his form and only could now for he was touching TQ-04 and ran his goop to his mind. Meaning if TQ-04 went through that "door" he would have been stuck with -42 probing his mind already. so while he killed his body he still alive... just now stuck in ever lasting limbo with an AI(who loves him) until either the AI or TQ-04 crack admin controls.
so could we cut to a pan back to TQ-04 wiping the tears from AI because that thing was crying the entire event and we can't miss a tear wiping moment.

You are TQ-01

You've been led to the atrium of the ship by a chatty guard who has repeatedly misidentified you as TQ-19408605,
the guard who currently exists in a state of limbo within your wrist mounted inventory.
You've lost your friend TQ-02, your ally Alpha Rauthaz, and your way.
Your guide, TE-8897765443 apparently, has not stopped talking for more than a moment at a time.
It worries you somewhat.
"You gotta know the importance of R&R, TQ-19408605! If you don't head to the atrium every once in a while you start to get the old
space madness. It may sound crazy rookie but it happens! A Sectoid spends one too many years without fresh air and a sky above them
and their mind goes loopy the second they land on a planet. I've seen it happen once. Some spacebound sanitation engineer poked his head outside
when we landed on Zeptod a couple a' years back. Had to get him reset. No foolin'. So anyway, you gotta appreciate the AR's atrium. Some of the
ships have nice ones. But This one's got some of the most exotic species they scrounged off the genesis world before the Pstchithxchs had their way with it.
Mezziz is a nice homeworld, but if this room is any indication, Gabrona was waaay better. True facts. So what do you want to do rookie? We can play some Spekli, though you're looking at the master on this ship. Or we can find some yogurt, there's a selection but they haven't got any of that rare stuff, that's not your type anyway eh, TQ-19408605. So, what do you want to do?"

I could either have adapted an existing game to an alien environment, spent a lot of time and effort inventing the kind of unsolved (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solved_game) strategic game that an advanced alien race would play, or invent a game that will make people make this face ಠ_ಠ.

Yes, and apparently all these moves are well-known enough to be named (as per the prior update). I approve of our narrowed-eyed look across the table. Our esteemed opponent is surely getting more thrills out this than we are, and he knows it's about to be a draw.
Hang on. Maybe there's a reason. Maybe there's some unstated rule that "ties pay the dealer," as it were, and TE-8897765443 will presently be lording his fantastic "victory" over us. Jerk!

Same here, hence the accusations at the start that player 1 would always win.

No, follow the logic. If he moved the other way (i.e., where Andux is proposing we now go), he would be guaranteed to lose.

Set a hexagon at the bottom.
Pick the center.

Okay, there's something going on here. See:
Let's assume Cerol's suggestion won't work. Then, if you count the tiles, the play sequence will be us, him, us, and the board will be filled. Then let's assume the board expands when it fills. Upon expansion, the opponent will easily and immediately win due to the pinwheel of two-in-a-row tiles available for a third tile.
So we get to Cerol's suggestion. If it does work, then it's the only thing to prevent this pinwheel-based victory, as it will break up the pattern. But if you could do this at any time, why didn't TE-8897765443 win on his third move by doing that to us? The only possibility is that he's toying with us.
Then . . . we really, really want the tile at the bottom. It gives us two-in-a-row for the first time. The opponent will keep up his charade as long as possible, meaning he will just pick some other unimportant tile on his next turn. And then we'll have him.
In sum: if Cerol is wrong, and the board doesn't expand, we draw. If Cerol is wrong, and the board expands, we lose. If Cerol is right, and we tip our hand by using that information, we lose. If Cerol is right, and we use psychology, we win.
Select the bottom tile. Prepare to select the leftmost red, for a shot at victory, on the next turn.

Edited P.S.: I recognize that there are multiple alternative tiles that would achieve the same victory for us. These are my suggestion.

Can we pass? That would give us the first move after the board is full.

wait isn't there a piece sticking out of the grid in the original shot of the board?
also what's stopping us from waiting out, wasting time not taking our turn, and completely Troll Texas Education - 8897765443 if someone with a huge ego like his can be his weakness.
but make sure to ask all the rules first so one could Draw out the match as long until Thomas (the Train) Engine is so enrage he screws up his plan on winning and allows us a lead or until TQ-02 wakes up, the gas to set in to the plants making them hostile and strangle Texas Election - 8897765443 allowing us to win by plant death, use the missing slot to control Toy Electronics -8897765443 and have him purposely lose, we twist 3 the hexagons so that we can win, or hit the middle thus causing all the red to turn green and win?
Wait what if this takes tic tac toe and those flicker light puzzles and pressing on a lit color changes the color to all corresponding sides?
Post by: Rexfelum on November 12, 2011, 01:26:30 pm
Can we pass? That would give us the first move after the board is full.
Oh, great. That's a third factor. Combinatorics hurt.
And another thing I've been wondering is whether there were, say, a limited number of "special moves" (like swapping a tile color or passing a turn) per player. It wouldn't impact the color swap thing, because TE-8897765443 still should have won on his third move if swapping were possible, so something's up.
I guess I'm just rambling . . . so, passing. If we can do it, we'd want to do it at a good point in time so TE-8897765443 doesn't pass as well later on and negate our pass:
Select the bottom tile. Prepare to select the leftmost red, for a shot at victory, on the next turn. If we cannot select the leftmost red, attempt to pass on the next turn (in preparation for any hypothetical board expansion). If we cannot select an opponent's tile, and we cannot pass, discover new depths of eye-narrowing.

It's also possible that flipping a tile requires the player to first control a certain number of adjacent tiles (e.g., 4)
. . . In which case the first player is even more guaranteed to win. Does anybody else have a persecution complex yet?

Wait isn't TQ-01 good at games so couldn't we just say "TQ-01 stop fooling around, and whoop this chump" and the next couple of scenes show TQ-01 pulling some Game King mastery and wipe that smug face off of RC-8897765443? pretty sure that's what we did at the beginning of the game.

Sure it will ruin our guise, but we win!wait I completely forgot about that. We Must not blow our cover! besides it's just a game to buy time.
Wait isn't this before TQ-02 squabble in where ever he was. so should there be an alarm going off or better yet reports of a random Litheu an Alpha on the ship?
besides if we get our cover blown we can just shove this Gabronian into his wrist watch and scan the wrist watch. Better yet take out the other Gabronian empty out the second Wrist watch and rescan the knock out Gabronian with the second one filling up the two slots and scan the wrist watch, there now you got 2 knock out Gabronians and you got a second Identity soon we can keep up cramming Grabros into their inventory until we can to store an army into a hand bag*. The only issue that comes from this is do we want to keep this up until no one's on board but TQ-02 the litheu and Alpha or do we just knock out and cram those who get suspicious of us.
*it's kinda like Compressing a File so more can fit.
But we won't do this yet until our cover is blown.

Things are looking grim for your prospects of winning this friendly board game.
If only you could have picked that center tile.
You'd have the upper hand then.
If only you could just induce victory automatically.
There's is one way that consistently works for you.

You bend the game to your will the only way you know how.
With brute force and a flourish of improvisation.

"Yeah, that's really nice TQ-19408605."
"Was that really that important to you?"
"I guess it's fair to tell you now that nobody wins spekli. Any two Gabronians with any sense always draw.
It's like a allegory or something. We usually use the board to keep score when playing other games.
I was bluffing when I said I'd win. Nobody wins. I haven't seen someone take spekli so seriously in years,
and then it was some highstrung biotok, who broke tables and threatened violence to win. I'm pretty glad to
know he'll be gone from now on."
"We've still got some time on the break, anything you want to do rookie?"

I usually have no idea what the suggestion is that prompted a series of events.
Also there's like 500 terribly drawn pictures of aliens crying.
>fill the missing character slot with Alu controller of busts
The meta game would be finding out how to move the character into space and join up with the rest of the Gabronians.
Not everything I've ever drawn is necessarily eligible for protagonist-hood.

Or, to be more specific: stay in this location and watch carefully for the source of the assault. Remove those shoulder pad thingies so we look less like a target, just in case Alpha Rauthaz is to blame. And is trigger-happy. And we know she is, but whatever.

You are overcome by the urge to sing in the shower.
You hope it will serve to drown out the sounds of nearby carnage.
You also remove your shoulder pads also, in hopes it will make it easier for Alpha Rauthaz
to identify you on the off-chance that it's her causing that mayhem.

Suddenly, as the shower begins to abate, you notice some crackling on the spekli table.
Your singing has yielded a victory for your side.
Or more likely, the circuitry has been damaged by the water.
Just goes to show that with brute force, dumb luck, and unrelated acts of terrorism,
you can win an unwinnable game.
It's like an analogy or something.
The game begins to play the victory song.
You could just stand here and listen to it forever.
You can let the condescending, hot-headed, psychic warlord come to you.

like if TQ-01 near a sentient plant one could suggest "become Sentient plant eat Commander" and that be valid? The way I see it you don't need to write plotlines for them as their already in one and you don't have to remember.
Wait better off using Zemblax to spend on research into making a Pet system for the remaining five so we can use side fan favorites.
but for now since we can pay for panels, 100 to have the "condescending, hot-headed, psychic warlord" snap lose his mind because you won Spekli and due to some written gabronian laws TQ-01 takes over his spot as warlord.

I doubt he'd try anything, if he did it's either a laser in the back of the head or a mind bullet in the face. And like you said, Alpha wouldn't kill us over a game of spekli, we're too valuable. This will only lead to more wacky hijinks.

Ask him what this gun does. If it kills stuff, shoot him in the face.
That would ruin our chances at unlocking the pacifist achievement! Wait, no, TQ-01 punched that one guy a bunch of times. I think the only character eligible for pacifist might be TQ-02. And I like that guy's boots. Still, better to let him die of "natural causes" so we can be warned and won't have to. Also, I'm sure it is our droid buddy causing the ruckus, and not the character we briefly saw in a completely different location being mostly inactive as she waited for us to give the next command.

besides the pacifist achievement is really "Batmans rules." achievement which is "Don't kill and strike fear into enemies." so far TQ-01 haven't murder any one yet and shouldn't though this doesn't say for horribly maiming someone to the point of wishing to die but letting them live.

Yeah, I was probably projecting a bit with that comment. I frequently have trouble understanding
what is happening in the story and have to go on an archive hunt to find the context of the situation
to make sure I'm being consistent. (which I frequently suspect I am not). I don't mean to
underestimate the people who spend their time reading this, I just don't expect them to entertain more
than a superficial reading of the archive. (you know, because I have trouble doing more than that). I'm genuinely sorry if that
offended some of the more hardcore fans of Space Voyage (A term that somewhat surprises and confuses me due to
my perceived quality of most of the adventure [I regard most of the archive as sub-par and have been furiously
working to improve the writing and drawing. I'm still kind of pleasantly surprised when people say they like it]).
Anyway, I guess the sleep deprived rant illustrated my pettiness and frustration well enough. My drawing time has
been mutilated by finals and I haven't been getting a lot of sleep. I'm just trying to keep the story going
at some level approaching what I used to be able to do three months ago even though the art quality was bad.
(Jebex, I used to have time to draw and scan updates when I was away from photoshop, imagine that?)
I guess the point is I think I need a break but updating has been so frequent for so long that I don't really think
I'd deserve the time off even if it was totally fine with the readerbase (which realistically it probably is because I don't
see any of you as imagehungry slave drivers bent on my destruction).
I still intend on blowing your minds, but if I hint as to how it probably won't work
e: Yeah, I've been a pretty crummy GM lately. I did think the idea of assassination by bread was kind of a cool idea.
I usually do the update thing by drawing what you do, what the reaction is, and what provides additional conflict to the story.
I've been getting a little more skimpy on the last one because it's hard for me to update a lot and it tends to take two hours at the least
to make a four panel update. Maybe if this was a dialogue based adventure where I could update a million words per image instead of
a slapstick based action adventure I could be more story efficient. But really man, "give us some tools?", no, "Most dangerous game" style
trapsetting? No improvised sign language system to be hilariously misinterpreted? No questioning your unwavering allegiance to
a person who you met maybe 40 minutes ago and repeatedly tried to kill you? "more tools?" What I'm saying, in my assholish way,
is that I need you to be creative in order to be creative, and even though the creative ideas usually fail, that's no assurance the dull ideas
will succeed because they usually fail because it's easier than furthering the plot. I assure you however, that after finals I will be back tom normal.
Next week, the story will actually move.
Tl:dr Sorry for being a dick. I lack confidence in you because I doubt myself. Cool stuff might happen over the weekend

I love it! Pick some squeaky plants for use as emergency moral boost items and/or hat decorations. . . . Conveniently ducking to do so and allowing any projectile attacks to fly over your head just like in the cartoons.
Also, Robocorn, you are awesome. Get some sleep. That's what all the cool kids are doing.
Zzz.

I suggest a soldier in the military on a ship an unknown distance away, as it could either be on this ship, a safe distance away from it (though not for long), or going to be invaded, and the soldier is doomed normally, but could survive through the silly suggestions of the forum, being the sudden development of a load of split personalities one for each forum member voting.
But I'm not good at names, or random numbers.

Yes! Now that we've gone into stealth-game mode, we totally need some squeaky fungus for the next time we want to distract some guards with the old 'toss something to make noise in the other direction' trick!

Maybe we should fill the vacant slot.hmm or we could just pick some non Gabronian character?

I don't think so. This is an adventure about Gabronians for Gabronians and I don't want no filthy, no good, thieving, and not to mention funny smelling ne'er-do-well aliens stinking it up with their stink and whatnot.
In all seriousness I'd rather stick with Gabronians because they've so far been an incredibly xenophobic society who've had little interaction with other species. The Gabronians are an island among an ocean of frightening, mysterious, and dangerous alien races. I don't want to relate to the hordes of sword wielding star-barbarians, regardless of how deep and fascinating their culture may be.

I say we save the character slot for a rainy day. Might need a change of pace in the future, but we don't really need it now. Anyway, I suggest that we stop distracting our buddy, who will inevitably get killed while turning his attention toward our shenanigans. He has military skills, a good amount of political power, and seems kind of sensible. If we can impress him, we might be able to convince him to get TQ-02 and us off the hook so we can return to our normal lives. Except it would probably take some especially serious convincing to make him let TQ-02 off the hook.
you mean TQ-02 horrible gambling and un-responsibility that lead to him getting flag for reprogramming which was the reason for us to leave in the first place(during that time we was trying to beat alpha from catching up with us and to leave her stranded)?
You want that normal life? I thought we burn that bridge down when we didn't make TQ-01 hold down TQ-02 so the droid can take him away to Reprogramming at the start of the adventure.
That Xenophobic life style caused this mess if anything getting away from it is for the better.

A month from now is the anniversary of the start of Space Voyage, and it is readily
apparent that the story will not end by then.
I was thinking of drawing live for most of the day because its a Sunday and I have nothing better to do then.
With proper preparation (Read:eggnog and pizza) I might be able to keep up the drawing for 20 hours tops.
I'd just like to know offhand how many people would watch the livestream to compare it with just
lurking the thread as I draw for way too long.

She is headed immediately towards a particular door.
Surely she is a master of subterfuge.

Anyway, TQ-02 should carefully reprogram that mechanical arm to execute a sudden jolt of force, propelling the toppled twosome (or dropped duo, or prone pair) apart. This is clearly possible without much ability to move, and won't hurt a bit.

Looking to see how much time passed and remembering your mission... how very unusually responsible of you! But should we investigate the armory instead of going up? We might even be able to do both if we find or make something in the armory that lets us blast up through the ceiling to the next floor (or into space). We might also be able to find an inventory wristband to shove the unconscious litheu into for... future use.

Well now that that flavor has been explored it's time to take the armory.
Wait, there's one of those scanny laser things on it.

Take the gun, and fuse it with out mechanical arm. Gun arm.This. Also, grab the Litheu's sword (if it's not still stuck in that guy), and
RAID the ARMORY
Maybe we can convert some plasma rifles into plasma thrusters and build a kick-ass flying mechsuit. With a gun-arm! And a sword! Glox yeah!

We could try shooting it with the aforementioned gun-arm-majigger; that always works in the movies.

As for the door... if we can't blast through it with our gun arm, then we can try showing the corpse to the scanny thing. Eyes and fingy prints scanned first.

check if the dead guy has scannable shoulder pads
Unfortunately, no:
(http://img.ie/44410.png)
And in any case, TQ-02 doesn't know about the shoulder pads, and would be required to deduce this functionality. Deduce using deductive reasoning, and not metagaming (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2510258#msg2510258).
Me, I'm trying to determine any significance behind the flying rectangular bit with the green color on it:
(http://i.imgur.com/Na9S3.png)
Was that from the Litheu's clothing? From the Vizu part of the robot arm?
Anyway, show the scanner your entire hat collection.

Clearly this place has an air shaft for the armory for it doubles as a Safe room.
also
Check on the health of the Litheu and loot the soldier, oh and find a translator so we won't be in the dark about what the Litheu is saying and get back on the road of adding tall dark and emotional to the group.

to be scanned, and it's not your eye. And if you bang on it a creepy monster will
let you in and cut off your arm. Better get that commando guy, better he lose his arm than you.

"Microsoft Paint for Windows 7 may be even worse than the previous versions,

Sillly guy. then he sayz.
"how about a recap, haven't done that in...almost seven months"
==RECAP==
So, having begrudgingly joined forces with Alpha Rauthaz to escape on her ship,
the Acier Rouge, TQ-01 and TQ-02 are lead to an airlocked elevator that connects directly
to the cargo hold of the ship. Unable to convince the operator to remotely activate the elevator.
Alpha Rauthaz uses the majority of her remaining psiotonin reserves to teleport into the elevator control room
and massacre the operators inside. Alpha manually accesses the elevator control and transports TQ-01, TQ-02
and their incapacitated droid Leeanne Beauregard into the cargo hold of the starship.
With no context of how to reunite, the group separates further. TQ-02 cannibalizes Leeanne's remaining parts
to produce a suit of powered armor for himself and a pink talking gun that contains Leeanne's personality which
is immediately confiscated by TQ-01. Equipped for conflict and prepared to reunite upon the location of an exit,
the group separates even further.
Taking the closer side of the hallway, TQ-02 is the first to find an open door. He navigates a dark and cold room
using his seldom mentioned Gabronian infrared vision and pushes crates aside to reveal the door to a heat sink room
that is blocked by a circular scanner that he cannot discern the operation of. Frustrated at his inability to open the door
conventionally, TQ-02 attempts to break down the door with the strength of his armor. After a short time he is let in
to a seemingly empty room.
Upon entering the heat sink room, TQ-02 is ambushed by a sword wielding Litheu (A large predatory alien
with chromatophoric feathers) His armor protects him but he is helpless to defend himself from the violent alien
until a mistaken blow to a console activates a siren that scares it off, but not before he provokes it by foolishly
pelting it with muffins. The angered creature exacts disproportionate retribution against the annoyance by severing
TQ-02's right arm and causing him to black out from loss of blood.
After a brief sequence in which TQ-02 recalls the moments of his life and believes himself to be dead, TQ-02 is revealed
to be in the ship's infirmary having undergone a memory probing, revealing the presence of both the Litheu and Alpha
Rauthaz in the ship to the ship's current commander, Admiral Delta Blu. Delta Blu chastizes TQ-02 and instruct the
medical Sectoids not to re-arm him. He puts TQ-02 in the care of RX-411, an extremely apathetic and irresponsible doctor
that prefers to solve griddlers than actually monitor TQ-02. With no supervision, TQ-02 constructs a ramshackle arm out of
parts from the infirmary, angering the medical crew to the point that they forcibly eject both TQ-02 and RX-411 from the
infirmary.
In the hallway, TQ-02 takes advantage of the temporarily stunned RX-411 by taking her vizu-pad and converting it into a
primitive materializer for his mechanical arm. TQ-02 produces two unhelpful objects and an unappetizing muffin before
RX-411 recovers and scares him away. Further down the hall, TQ-02 comes across the ship's armory which is guarded by
one of Delta Blu's commandos. TQ-02 learns that ultimately the shipn is returning to his home planet of Mezziz, the fifth planet from the homestar of the Gabronian race. TQ-02 leaves the commando, promising to bring him back something interesting, only to return with mysterious headgear and robotic limbs for his unappetizing muffin (now dubbed "cupcake").
Unfortunately, upon his return, the commando is unceremoniously killed by the Litheu from earlier, who expresses some degree of
amusement at TQ-02's condition. TQ-02 is helpless to defend himself yet again but Cupcake does it's best to repel the alien,
eventually going so far as to dive into it's mouth, which, soon after ingestion, causes it to lose consciousness and collapse on
TQ-02, knocking him unconscious.
Approximately four minutes later, TQ-02 awakens underneath the Litheu. Using his mechanical arm, he springs it off of himself
only to hear the nearby sirens which he determines must have something to do with his friends.
Alternatively, on the other end of the hall, TQ-01 finds a dead end. He finds some
distress in having to reassure Leeanne that they are not in space (a lie), as Artificial
intelligences have a compulsive fear of space travel to discourage rebellion.
Coincidentally, a guard enters the cargo hold through a nearby door as TQ-01 is there.
TQ-01 gets the jump on the guard (later identified as TQ-19408605) and manages to
disarm him and lead him into a contest of martial arts, which TQ-01 easily wins.
TQ-01 takes the equipment from the guard's unconscious body, including a magna belt,
a wrist-mounted inventory system, and the shoulder pads which hide the codes required to open
the locked doors of the ship. TQ-01 hides the body of the guard within the inventory in which
it is bisected to occupy two slots. He also removes a cryptocoder, a device that can open
and close the myriad crates littering the cargo hold, and uses it to open a container of hull gel,
a mixture of nanobots used to repair the hulls of starfighters during spaceflight.
Soon after opening the container, TQ-01 is caught by another guard, TE-8897765443, who mistakes
him for TQ-19408605 due to their similarity in appearance (*cough*). TE-8897765443, who inserts
unnecessary asides and anecdotes into his conversations leads TQ-01 out of the cargo hold, but not before,
discarding Leeanne as contraband into the conveniently open box of hull gel, and elaborating on
how they are in space. The box echoes with Leeanne's dreadful realization as they leave.
TE-8897765443, meanwhile, leads TQ-01 to the atrium, a large bay containing all manners of Gabronian flora.
The pair play a game of spekli, a sort of hexagon based game of tic-tac-toe, which would always produce a tie
if each player played a perfect game. TQ-01 not knowing the full rules of the game broke the table in an attempt
to win and disappointed TE-8897765443 by his inability to grasp the metaphor of the game. Shortly afterwards
an explosion rocks the atrium.
TE-8897765443 leaves to investigate the explosion as TQ-01 is disarmed. Alone in the atrium TQ-01 next encounters
Delta Blu, who ascertains that the explosion was the doing of Alpha Rauthaz. Delta Blu orders TQ-01 to help him in his pursuit
and arms him first with a lectro-blaster but next with an incredibly stiff piece of bread when he decides that the lectro-blaster is too
dangerous. In an attempt to assist Alpha Rauthaz TQ-01 attempts to covertly beat Delta Blu into submission, but fails first because of
a squeaking plant underfoot.
Shortly afterwards, Delta Blu spots Alpha Rauthaz making a break for a door in the atrium. Delta Blu uses the plasma cannon
mounted in his bionic arm to destroy the door and wreak havoc. In an attempt to dispatch Blu, TQ-01 tries to hit him in the
head with the bread while he wasn't looking. The gambit fails as Delta Blu overpowers TQ-01 and severely mutilates his body
with the plasma cannon before TQ-01 blacks out.
Alpha Rauthaz had been biding her time and preparing for the confrontation, though she had not expected it so soon.
She had expected to reach her chamber where reserves of psiotonin, the chemical that grants psychic abilities,
is located. Armed with her full telekinetic power she could easily defeat any foe.
In the control room she had encountered a guard who physically overpowered her in her psychically deprived state.
Using a psychic technique that her progenator had spoken of, Alpha stole the martial arts knowledge right from the
guard's mind. Armed with martial arts abilities and impromptu corpse ventriloquism, Alpha Rauthaz dispatched several more guards,
gaining their weapons. Armed and dangerous, Alpha strongarms her way through a locked arm and commandeers a janitorial cart,
which she then rides towards the atrium with her janitorial hostage behind the wheel.
Before entering the atrium, Alpha prepares for obvious conflict to come. She breaks into a janitorial closet and has several chemical
grenades made from cleaning products as well as a larger bomb smuggled under the dress of the janitor who she had disguised
as herself for diversionary purposes. Fearing for her lungs, Rauthaz took a orange striped scarf to cover her mouth and set off towards the
atrium where the elevator to her chamber was located.
In the atrium, Alpha Rauthaz set off the bomb, slaughtered guards indiscriminately and attracted the attention of Delta Blu
who fried some guy with a crappy lunch or something, wasn't really paying attention.
Meanwhile on Mezziz, revolution was calling. TQ-03 had assembled a small group of loyal revolutionaries
vying for the freedom of the mutant exiles of the island. Armed with yogurt and enthusiasm, TQ-03 assembled a
squad of recruiters to spread the word of revolution. In spite of initial doubts, TQ-03, TS-419, SC-412, TQ-8675309,
RF-5271923, XV-15, TX-4445445, RT-9761234, and the turned droid 00AEEF were more than just a mob, they were a symbol,
and that symbol was F.E.T.U.S.
Their first set of recruitment having gone so well, they set to hasten their growth with the broadcast of their very
own song of freedom, composed and sung by RF-5271923 because of his moving voice, and engineered by
TQ-03 to be considerably more catchy than necessary. Soon the mutants were revolting, not because of the message
however, because of the constant repetition of the extremely annoying and catchy song dedicated to F.E.T.U.S.
Upon trying to recruit the disenfranchised mutants to her side of freedom and free refreshments, TQ-03 was accused
of being a spy and a double agent or an evil cabal, as well as many other ridiculous things. TQ-03 initially countered the
claims with escalating levels of ironic falsehood before convincing the large group of mutants that her accuser was
insane.
Back at her dormitorium, the base of operations for F.E.T.U.S. the group had to deal with the logistics of feeding and arming
the new recruits whilst distancing themselves form the F.E.T.U.S. brand that drove the new recruits out of their rooms
in the first place. Hastily, the group renamed themselves S.P.A.C.E. and claimed to never have been F.E.T.U.S. as they rushed to produce enough yogurt to keep their promise to the new recruits.
Unfortunately, tragedy struck as a droid came upon the gathering, scattering many of the new recruits. TQ-03's attempts to
scare it with the prospect of a trip into space did little to prevent it from strangling her and slamming her into a wall.
She was saved at the last minute by SC-412 astride 00AEEF who blew it's legs off with their plasma rifles.
The droid was still not yet dispatched and sent a signal to the droid hivemind as well as to other nearby droids.
Other droids would be coming.
TQ-03 did the best that she could under the circumstances and attempted to engineer a virus that could be spread
through the droid signals to end their violent rampage. Unfortunately, her virus did no such thing and only granted
the droids the personae of eighteenth century buccaneers. The pirate droids showed no mercy on the revolting mutants and
knocked them aside with ease. TQ-03 did the only thing she could think of and waved the black flag of parley to achieve
a ceasefire and gain an audience with their "captain", the droid hivemind central hub for the isle of Sepla-Glaz.
Confronted with the droid hub, TQ-03 was accused of altering the programming of 00AEEF, a grave crime
to artificial intelligences which she was in-fact guilty of. TQ-03 made no attempt to hide this but instead made
the offer to remove the pirate droid's fears of space, allowing them to "set sail" and be free of the empire's control.
The droid captain agreed and allowed her to operate on the first pirate droid. The operation was a success but required
rum, which offended a pirate droid because robots are incapable of ingesting liquor. Thus, TQ-03 was mistakenly knocked
unconscious by an angry droid.
Meanwhile in another time in another space, the invalid mutant TQ-666 awoke beneath the mountain of tears,
his cultists had found him at last. A god to his world, he still could not generate adequate arms or legs for himself
and resorted to hopping around. His power had waned somehow in his crying fit. TQ-666 sent for his creepy-crawlie
servants to find him a way out of the chamber he occupied in the salt mountain.
In the darkness, perhaps after an impromptu dance number, he was visited by the angelic being once again
regarding his place in the Surrealm. The being explained to him the nature of the creepy crawlie creatures,
as planescions, living manifestations of his creation, and that without hunger or strife, he had been crying
for over 230 million years.
Atop the mountain itself, the being showed TQ-666 the civilization of the planescions that had grown in the
shadow of the mountain over the aeons. He explained that TQ-666's waning power was due to his close
proximity with large amounts of progressive secularism, and if he could be properly worshipped and respected he could
regain his power and continue his quest to Shabalash.
TQ-666 got his start in this by tumbling down a mountain, destroying a house and a paved road, and turning the
grandmother of two middle class Ebonlings into a (comparitively) giant, city destroying monster.
Little did he know of the forces that sought to combat him on his quest.
Having recovered from his encounter with the shocking ZC-04, TQ-04 was looking for answers.
He recalled that ZC-04's incubation tube was tended by a TQ-42, and he figured that would be a good place to look.
TQ-42 was a strange tube-farmer, the walls of his dormitorium were covered in starmaps with red circles drawn on
strange portions of the empire. When told that ZC-04 was on the loose, TQ-42's first major concern was with her
safety rather than that of those around her. After being knocked around a few times (pffft). TQ-42 revealed himself to be
a xenosympathizer who created ZC-04 to test a mutagen he developed after having a strange dream in which he
conversed with an alien power.TQ-04 ran out of sheer horror at the revelation.
Shortly after escaping, and near to the droids who could send TQ-42 away, TQ-04 once again encountered ZC-04
poised precariously on the edge of the skywalk. Hatred overcoming fear, TQ-04 decided that if he could end ZC-04 his
problems would disappear. He ran at the mutant with all his might and sent them both tumbling over the edge.
As TQ-04 gazes down at the 400 story drop that waits him he finds his ankle in the grasp of the mutant he so despises.
Having had his life saved he develops a begrudging acceptance towards ZC-04. He explains the importance of
stopping TQ-42 and she agrees to help.
The duo meet outside TQ-42's dormitorium with the door conspicuously ajar. TQ-42 announces that the ritual of communion
is to begin and ZC-04 attacks only to be pinned under a cage. TQ-42 reveals a huge syringe filled with mutagen infected yogurt
and attempts to inject TQ-04 with it. A fight ensues and TQ-42 winds up injected with the yogurt causing him to rapidly
mutate into a monstrous pile of living yogurt. TQ-04 and ZC-04 barely escape alive.
Instinctively they run to the droid sector to solicit help, but help was not to be found.
TQ-04 had been behaving erratically that MCP and due to the bizarre nature of his
request for help was considered insane and immediately detained for modification.
TQ-04 was strapped to a chair and was rendered unconscious through epileptic transmissions.
His mind was transported into an audit zone where a flippant and uncaring AI asked of him
useless questions before calling him insane and professing that it would steal his body and leave him in the audit
zone for what would seem like an eternity. Laughing as it left, TQ-04 was left alone for an indeterminate amount
of time to suffer in insanity. Though seemingly a few seconds later, the AI returned, worried and encouraging
TQ-04 to return to his body through a door. As TQ-04 skeptically refused, the warped remnants of TQ-42's mind
broke it's way into the audit zone through the door.
TQ-42 announced that he would use TQ-04's sleeping body as a conduit to the dream world of the Surrealm
(because his body could now not sleep). He professed ultimate knowledge of his mission and his desire to
choke the Surrealm in his yogurty blood. TQ-04, not knowing the meaning of such things but fearing TQ-42's
goals pleaded for the AI to end his life, to which the AI eventually begrudgingly obliged.

mounted in his bionic arm to destroy the door and wreak havoc. In an attempt to dispatch Blu, TQ-01 tries to hit him in the
head with the bread while he wasn't looking. The gambit fails as Delta Blu overpowers TQ-01 and severely mutilates his body
with the plasma cannon before TQ-01 blacks out.
Alpha Rauthaz had been biding her time and preparing for the confrontation, though she had not expected it so soon.
She had expected to reach her chamber where reserves of psiotonin, the chemical that grants psychic abilities,
is located. Armed with her full telekinetic power she could easily defeat any foe.
In the control room she had encountered a guard who physically overpowered her in her psychically deprived state.
Using a psychic technique that her progenator had spoken of, Alpha stole the martial arts knowledge right from the
guard's mind. Armed with martial arts abilities and impromptu corpse ventriloquism, Alpha Rauthaz dispatched several more guards,
gaining their weapons. Armed and dangerous, Alpha strongarms her way through a locked arm and commandeers a janitorial cart,
which she then rides towards the atrium with her janitorial hostage behind the wheel.
Before entering the atrium, Alpha prepares for obvious conflict to come. She breaks into a janitorial closet and has several chemical
grenades made from cleaning products as well as a larger bomb smuggled under the dress of the janitor who she had disguised
as herself for diversionary purposes. Fearing for her lungs, Rauthaz took a orange striped scarf to cover her mouth and set off towards the
atrium where the elevator to her chamber was located.
In the atrium, Alpha Rauthaz set off the bomb, slaughtered guards indiscriminately and attracted the attention of Delta Blu
who fried some guy with a crappy lunch or something, wasn't really paying attention.
Meanwhile on Mezziz, revolution was calling. TQ-03 had assembled a small group of loyal revolutionaries
vying for the freedom of the mutant exiles of the island. Armed with yogurt and enthusiasm, TQ-03 assembled a
squad of recruiters to spread the word of revolution. In spite of initial doubts, TQ-03, TS-419, SC-412, TQ-8675309,
RF-5271923, XV-15, TX-4445445, RT-9761234, and the turned droid 00AEEF were more than just a mob, they were a symbol,
and that symbol was F.E.T.U.S.
Their first set of recruitment having gone so well, they set to hasten their growth with the broadcast of their very
own song of freedom, composed and sung by RF-5271923 because of his moving voice, and engineered by
TQ-03 to be considerably more catchy than necessary. Soon the mutants were revolting, not because of the message
however, because of the constant repetition of the extremely annoying and catchy song dedicated to F.E.T.U.S.
Upon trying to recruit the disenfranchised mutants to her side of freedom and free refreshments, TQ-03 was accused
of being a spy and a double agent or an evil cabal, as well as many other ridiculous things. TQ-03 initially countered the
claims with escalating levels of ironic falsehood before convincing the large group of mutants that her accuser was
insane.
Back at her dormitorium, the base of operations for F.E.T.U.S. the group had to deal with the logistics of feeding and arming
the new recruits whilst distancing themselves form the F.E.T.U.S. brand that drove the new recruits out of their rooms
in the first place. Hastily, the group renamed themselves S.P.A.C.E. and claimed to never have been F.E.T.U.S. as they rushed to produce enough yogurt to keep their promise to the new recruits.
Unfortunately, tragedy struck as a droid came upon the gathering, scattering many of the new recruits. TQ-03's attempts to
scare it with the prospect of a trip into space did little to prevent it from strangling her and slamming her into a wall.
She was saved at the last minute by SC-412 astride 00AEEF who blew it's legs off with their plasma rifles.
The droid was still not yet dispatched and sent a signal to the droid hivemind as well as to other nearby droids.
Other droids would be coming.
TQ-03 did the best that she could under the circumstances and attempted to engineer a virus that could be spread
through the droid signals to end their violent rampage. Unfortunately, her virus did no such thing and only granted
the droids the personae of eighteenth century buccaneers. The pirate droids showed no mercy on the revolting mutants and
knocked them aside with ease. TQ-03 did the only thing she could think of and waved the black flag of parley to achieve
a ceasefire and gain an audience with their "captain", the droid hivemind central hub for the isle of Sepla-Glaz.
Confronted with the droid hub, TQ-03 was accused of altering the programming of 00AEEF, a grave crime
to artificial intelligences which she was in-fact guilty of. TQ-03 made no attempt to hide this but instead made
the offer to remove the pirate droid's fears of space, allowing them to "set sail" and be free of the empire's control.
The droid captain agreed and allowed her to operate on the first pirate droid. The operation was a success but required
rum, which offended a pirate droid because robots are incapable of ingesting liquor. Thus, TQ-03 was mistakenly knocked
unconscious by an angry droid.
Meanwhile in another time in another space, the invalid mutant TQ-666 awoke beneath the mountain of tears,
his cultists had found him at last. A god to his world, he still could not generate adequate arms or legs for himself
and resorted to hopping around. His power had waned somehow in his crying fit. TQ-666 sent for his creepy-crawlie
servants to find him a way out of the chamber he occupied in the salt mountain.
In the darkness, perhaps after an impromptu dance number, he was visited by the angelic being once again
regarding his place in the Surrealm. The being explained to him the nature of the creepy crawlie creatures,
as planescions, living manifestations of his creation, and that without hunger or strife, he had been crying
for over 230 million years.
Atop the mountain itself, the being showed TQ-666 the civilization of the planescions that had grown in the
shadow of the mountain over the aeons. He explained that TQ-666's waning power was due to his close
proximity with large amounts of progressive secularism, and if he could be properly worshipped and respected he could
regain his power and continue his quest to Shabalash.
TQ-666 got his start in this by tumbling down a mountain, destroying a house and a paved road, and turning the
grandmother of two middle class Ebonlings into a (comparitively) giant, city destroying monster.
Little did he know of the forces that sought to combat him on his quest.
Having recovered from his encounter with the shocking ZC-04, TQ-04 was looking for answers.
He recalled that ZC-04's incubation tube was tended by a TQ-42, and he figured that would be a good place to look.
TQ-42 was a strange tube-farmer, the walls of his dormitorium were covered in starmaps with red circles drawn on
strange portions of the empire. When told that ZC-04 was on the loose, TQ-42's first major concern was with her
safety rather than that of those around her. After being knocked around a few times (pffft). TQ-42 revealed himself to be
a xenosympathizer who created ZC-04 to test a mutagen he developed after having a strange dream in which he
conversed with an alien power.TQ-04 ran out of sheer horror at the revelation.
Shortly after escaping, and near to the droids who could send TQ-42 away, TQ-04 once again encountered ZC-04
poised precariously on the edge of the skywalk. Hatred overcoming fear, TQ-04 decided that if he could end ZC-04 his
problems would disappear. He ran at the mutant with all his might and sent them both tumbling over the edge.
As TQ-04 gazes down at the 400 story drop that waits him he finds his ankle in the grasp of the mutant he so despises.
Having had his life saved he develops a begrudging acceptance towards ZC-04. He explains the importance of
stopping TQ-42 and she agrees to help.
The duo meet outside TQ-42's dormitorium with the door conspicuously ajar. TQ-42 announces that the ritual of communion
is to begin and ZC-04 attacks only to be pinned under a cage. TQ-42 reveals a huge syringe filled with mutagen infected yogurt
and attempts to inject TQ-04 with it. A fight ensues and TQ-42 winds up injected with the yogurt causing him to rapidly
mutate into a monstrous pile of living yogurt. TQ-04 and ZC-04 barely escape alive.
Instinctively they run to the droid sector to solicit help, but help was not to be found.
TQ-04 had been behaving erratically that MCP and due to the bizarre nature of his
request for help was considered insane and immediately detained for modification.
TQ-04 was strapped to a chair and was rendered unconscious through epileptic transmissions.
His mind was transported into an audit zone where a flippant and uncaring AI asked of him
useless questions before calling him insane and professing that it would steal his body and leave him in the audit
zone for what would seem like an eternity. Laughing as it left, TQ-04 was left alone for an indeterminate amount
of time to suffer in insanity. Though seemingly a few seconds later, the AI returned, worried and encouraging
TQ-04 to return to his body through a door. As TQ-04 skeptically refused, the warped remnants of TQ-42's mind
broke it's way into the audit zone through the door.
TQ-42 announced that he would use TQ-04's sleeping body as a conduit to the dream world of the Surrealm
(because his body could now not sleep). He professed ultimate knowledge of his mission and his desire to
choke the Surrealm in his yogurty blood. TQ-04, not knowing the meaning of such things but fearing TQ-42's
goals pleaded for the AI to end his life, to which the AI eventually begrudgingly obliged.

TQ-04 died to prove that being brainwash in the middle of out running a "the blob" is a bad idea and/or died because I drew to many edits off his adventures drew him to suicide by electricity he maybe still alive as Code with AI but then that's wishful thinking.
TQ-03 was sent to a isle by TQ 4='death in some places' and now pulling a rebellion by horribly tricking folks into joining and brainwashing droids into doing her bidding her revolution is a Grey one mostly dark grey with her abuse of already civil right fought faction as playthings was knock out by a Minority for failing to explain RUM.EXE isn't a horrible string of code.
TQ-02 went from wacky builder to wacky builder with a robotic arm(not hand arm look at heavy for TF2 jokes about that.) and now woke up from a 4 minute nap
Alpha had murder a bunch of sectoids(?) as usual no one important was lost made a bunch of bombs and made someone look like her to carry a barrel of toxins, last seen blowing her thin cover with TQ-01.
Cou the litheu murder some sectoids(?) as usual no one important was lost other than TQ-02's wrench using hand. Found stuck in shock of Cupcake and now ontop of some critters
Leeyanne being rolled on to a ship was remade into a muffin launcher now in a nanite cube who knows what happen to her *coughRoboCough*
TQ-666 uhhh found a city and now playing Actraiser/sim city/ DFhack add dwarf fortress fort mode.
TQ-01 evolve from wicked good gamer to wicked good pilot/fighter to low int. ivysaur and had his legs blown off with Delta's PROTON CANNON. we learn it's not a great idea to tempt fate twice.
what folks really need to know
Alpha, TQ-03, leeyanne are female; TQ-01 androgynous; TQ-02 gentlemanly; Cou's gender unknown; and joke characters are jokes. TQ-04 is dead (thus gender means squat(maleish)) and now his spot taken over by the RAVE ROOM.

It's so hard to decide
Maybe if you didn't make your prosthetic arm in five minutes out of
random scavenged parts, it could've had more upgrades.

Wait why don't you just use the energy cells from the gun part to recharge the materializer?
Agreed. TQ-02 is an engineer! The materializer is far more suited to his disposition. Whether Robocorn will let us have the god mode unlimited materializering would be is suspect, but we could probably use it to produce something to open doors with, like a biometric lockpick or at the very least a copy of the commando's head... (including his eyes, which we could use to open the door!)

You could totally use the power supply of the gun to run your materializer.
That would be true if you had broken off the power supply half of the gun.
However, you have the killy bit of the gun, the power source is underneath
the litheu's fat alien ass.

It will probably take more than a lost arm and a punch in the face to get it though.

Well combine Killy bit with sword to make it a beam sword. Then tie a bow on it and sign it, for the litheu.

I see one glaring flaw in this suggestion.
We have no bows.

The large majority of TQ-02's inventions (while they have a ridiculously high comedic value) have been a bit on the useless side.
So we might want to consider adding a weapon instead.
But on the other hand when we consider TQ-02's personality (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GeniusDitz), He may end up killing himself with it.
Personally my vote goes to keeping the materializer, and finding more charge for it.
In fact, we should probably invent a better battery, since that seems to be the problem a lot of the time.

B.) run away.
C.) use our strong robo arm to carry the litheu and run away
D.) quickly find the vent the litheu came out of and use that as means of escape.
E.) Lift the litheu off the power supply then attach it to the sword and hope 40% kicks in and use that as a means of distraction on getting away. Either by through Vent or hall way.
but that's if the guards are unable to believe one sectoid 'took' down a litheu who killed a commander. Then there might be a chance the alarm went off because a Gabronian Snap and went on a killing spree looking for a sectoid who took apart her Viso and the guards rush over to the armory to get protection(or it's Alpha fault).

I wonder if Gabronians honor other Gabronians for being badasss and TQ-02 could play off that than pretending to be delta which is in fact illegal.
like "Hey if I can stop a litheu with a muffin and using a metal arm made of scraps then I can stop alpha and redeem my self."
Though this would be a ruse to get better Arm tech and work are way up the social ladder until we are honored as Delta blue where as pretending to be Delta blue would just lead to SO many chances of the masquerade to fall which is a waste of badass being emitted now where as saying We aren't Delta but stop this creature from breaking into the armory. we can play off the lone ranger bit and get to know more about the place freely. If someone outs us as TQ-02 the guy who was hostage by Alpha who on the ship. Then we can either use our new gain street cred to convince them you can stop her or with help and supplies needed to remake our suit with anti-psi powers.

LET'S GO FOR IT!!!
Think about it if we encounter the real Delta Blu we can say that he's the fake.
You could just say 'power energy sword, profit' so that Robocorn doesn't take the ambiguity as 'move us even farther away from having an energy sword'.Agreed.
Post by: Cerol Lenslens on December 30, 2011, 04:58:17 am
"Bwuh?"
"Uh, yeah, I mean we're totally this Delta Nile guy. Yeah, so like, um, you get this Litheu to a brig or something where we can figure out what to do with him later, and you guys come with me to respond to the alarm. Uh, you guys lead the way."
Post by: Rumrusher on December 30, 2011, 04:29:14 pm
b. Lie about killing the litheu(already set in stone by robocorn) when it's really stunned, this being a less lie than the one above we might skate pass this with saying something along the line of "looks like it's stronger than I thought." and be seen as a hero. Use this to Suger coat Delta Blu(if we see him) and maybe gain more access to the rest of the ship than murder lady and fail impersonation act 1#.
Besides we have a medic arm we can use that to raise the dead(well stuff that wasn't alive)... why give folks reason to tell others Delta blu can do that when we should get that glory all to our selves.
also TQ-02 could bwah him self easier to hero role than Delta blu and we don't have to deal with any one who might destroy our claims.
Because we did take down a litheu with a muffin be it a mechanical muffin that jump into it's throat.

Yeeess. Lying through omission.

You tell them to move the litheu's body somewhere secure
and to get you a power source.

"Uh, yeah, sure. We usually just throw the bodies away
but I guess we could toss it into some closet or something"
"Why do I always have to touch filthy xenos?"
"Shaddup! Anyway, admiral I think I have a battery in my inventory
that you could have. I won't disobey protocol by asking about
your motives"
(http://i.imgur.com/2mkLW.png)
"I'll just help them while you do something"
Everything's looking up for old TQ-02
loyal unquestioning servants, a power sword...
-Hey are you missing a tooth? Glox, can you regrow those?
You're gonna have to check with the bio manual
you think you can regrow teeth, or was that thumbs?
This is gonna bug you for so long.

Because if it's the former kinda glad
edit:Yessss the lie will stay with them to their graves.
mental note see if you can jerry rig that wristband onto your robo arm to add the ability to store/scan folks which means you can clone/alter them, then see if you can scan the litheu.
ask the guard do he has another battery so you can use it to juice up the robo arm to pull a revive on the fellow dead sectoids.

You activate your energy beam sword thing.
A shaft of green energy forms at the killy end.
The beam radiates intense heat which incidentally,
destroys the lighting.

Holding the tang, it raises the blade to about chest level

Too bad our sword cauterizes everything it cuts.

Hey Cou said something about Delta?
Wait isn't there a guard still alive could we ask him to translate that for us?(please this be a free action.)
edit: all I got was
"Heh, you not Delta (blu?)
Oh, so, fight hold
[goodbye] TQ-02"
the last part kinda has the '-0' and there a whole chance litheu language has a whole set of grammar difference
Also is Cou licking it's eyes? maybe a piece of muffin still stuck in there.

As long as you don't metagame there's no chance of it really throwing off the narrative.
The suggesters as a whole have been pretty good at not metagaming (or just forgetting how doors work)
As long as TQ-02 doesn't know what's going on it's fine.
I'll pull 25 per page because I don't actually have to do any work.
It's not like all those Gabronian text that I sprayed everywhere which I would have to go translate.

...Boss Fight.
I guess this is the first real boss fight since the chapter 1 boss was Alpha Rauthaz and that kind of got sorted out.
To add some chance to the nature of this combat and to prevent me from railroading a fight scene, I'm going to
percent die roll all the actions and if they come up lucky, terrible things won't happen. That way there's a chance of
failure that I can't just worm my way out of.
Also I'm stalling until tomorrow when I might be able to use photoshop again.

Reenact Cyborg Ninja cutting off Revolver Ocelot's hand.uhh you want Cou to re-cut TQ-02 hand?
If I remember MetalGear saga correctly gray fox only did that once to Ocelot and Gray fox only had his arm cut off by liquid snake in a mech.
so you want either Cou to be either Gray fox, olga, or Raiden? which boils down to you want a litheu to give a dying wish to a clone about his sister who going to die from cancer, be a mother who dies from a clone, a child soldier who was in the army of the clone who killed Olga and now became fully cybernetic but found out he also a father?
why not just go with Star wars it had luke getting his hand cut off, beam swords, and sword fighting.
edit: well looks like TQ-02 hat going to catch fully on fire trigger the sprinkler systems Really mess up his beam sword and take out the whole ship.

Woah, that came out of nowhere. Looks like somebody toasted this guard
or maybe he was trying to toast this bread and accidentally toasted himself.
TQ-01 used to have one of these breads back in Mezziz but they wouldn't let him bring it
on the tran-ship to Zerblex-14 and he couldn't materialize a new one. You wonder if TQ-05
still has the old one.
Anyway, there's still this toasted guard around and you think you can still hear him...uh her?
breathing.

Maybe looking around to see what's going on could be a good idea, and shouldn't TQ-02 be able to hear the fighting?
Or is it currently not being fired any shots at the moment?
But I don't see any way of TQ-02 recognizing TQ-01, unless TQ-02 checks his inventory bracer (I think the muffin gun is stored there).
Wait... Quick, check the inventory bracer, there might be useful stuff there (giving a non-meta-gaming reason to TQ-02 for checking the inventory bracer).

There, a fully functional cyborg. It didn't really need a cape. But you figured it couldn't hurt.
And for your efforts you earned a mildly toasted magna-belt and an inventory wristband.
You do feel pretty bad for the guard though. Waking up mutilated sucks.
You know that feeling. You figure you'll do something nice for them.

You'll just use some of that ceiling plate to make some new parts to replace the toasted
ones. This way, they won't feel so bad when they wake up without any of their equipment.

Let's see what this guard had in that inventory anyway.
A vizu pad, a cryptocoder, a bisected Sectoid It all seems pretty-Whaaaaa?
Is this a safe thing to do?

Don't worry about the not knowing everything about what you create, most authors/artists nowadays don't but have the grand skill of making things up on the spot.

How about a depiction of alpha as the emprorer and Tq-01 as darth Vader, standing on the bridge of the ship that they're currently on with TQ-02 standing sneaking up in the background as luke
EDITCOMMENTS:
I'm guessing that you play guitar when brainstorming?
"Just give me a picture of Mark Hamil as Luke Skywalker and we'll call it even Google." :)
It is the black outfit that he wears in episode six
Hey blinking lights in the background for no reason a re the key to good science fiction art :p
Looking awesome so far
Black mostly form fitting with a brown and silver belt of memory serves
He did lose his original at the end of episode five but he made a new one in between movies
"so would that make the litheu Yoda? Albeit a very tall, violent Yoda" :)
Actually it's extremely interesting for me to watch.
Well, I have to be off to bed. Wish I could stay up and watch more. I'll see if I can tune ine tomorrow.

With the fancy cyborg bits and cape TQ-01 might be mistaken for a warlord. This would invariably lead to shenanigans and hilarity.
Wait, wait, wait... When the model for the line (of sectoid) is perfected, do they recreate it's genes from scratch for each sectoid or simply use the genes of the first? If the latter, then that would make TQ-01 TQ-02's... No... That's impossible!

You simply can't let this Sectoid go bisected!
You'll attatch the inventory to your wrist mounted inventory and then
use the vizu-pad as a terminal to materialize the two pieces simultaneously.

the wrist Sectoid is fine, his legs and torso were
inventorized simultaneously so they fit together perfectly.
You didn't find the evidence of some grizzly de-legging.
It does seem like you're forgetting something, though.

Spoiler: BAM (click to show/hide)
Looking back to the first page makes me realize how much better you have gotten at drawing.
Also I hadn't noticed the art change that much but now that I'm re-looking at the first posts... damn.
I'm seriously having trouble believing that the huge disparity between the art at the beginning and the art at the beginning
and the current art of this image-based story-game.
Hell, compare the last image of today's update, a humbly named =http://i.imgur.com/zI66f.png1450.png (http://=http://i.imgur.com/zI66f.png1450.png) with 185.png (http://img815.imageshack.us/img815/7835/185u.png) a panel from January 21st of last year that depicts a relatively similar explosion.
Tell me the art isn't vastly superior now after a year and twelve hundred panels of practice.
Space Voyage wasn't the only drawing I did last year but the frequency of update made it a very good metric of my
abilities with digital media, as well as drawing in general. I really put nothing into quality until around panel 350
and didn't step up my game to maximum ability until around 1200.
In short, things have been getting better since the beginning and through the next year things will keep getting better.
Let's keep on doing this thing until we reach the end.
Speaking of this crap, if anyone has any favorite panel they want me to redraw I'd be happy to do it. I'd do all of them but it would take an eternity.

Keep the toasty legs in your wrist inventory; just in case you run into the armless, legless guy. He'd appreciate them.
Alternately, we could give the legs a shiny new robotic body; maybe they could team up with Darth RoboLegs to fight crime or something.

You put those toasty legs into your inventory.
It's just common courtesy to keep biomass contained so it doesn't rot.
It would be such a shame to see them spoil.
That's weird, it looks like unconscious guard guy is still in your inventory.
(http://i.imgur.com/6ik7d.png)
That doesn't matter though, because you've made a hat for the toasty guard.
Fashion-wise it looked like they could use a helmet, you can't even really
remember what you were doing in this place anyway.

Now that cyborg looks so cool. Hey, it looks like they've woken up.
"My head...explosions...Rauthaz...TQ-02?
My voice...my face...my legs...what happened TQ-02?
What happened to me?"
This guard sure seems to think he knows you.
this couldn't be TQ-01 could it.

Yeah, this is probably TQ-01. You wonder if you
should tell him he got fried and his legs and face
melted off.
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"
Were you saying that out loud? Glox, well that confirms it.
Maybe you should add some volume control because you can't really tell if that
was a scream of horror or a sigh of relief.

Create another copy of the guard you've copied from your wrist inventory. Repeat until you have a good size army.
I guess this is the only logical conclusion. I . . . guess. This could be terribly weird. Or just terrible.
At least test the idea by "removing" the guard from the inventory a second time. Give TQ-01 a moment to collect his thoughts, and maybe collect some more squeaking autotrophic sponges (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2832406#msg2832406).

I guess . . . ask TQ-01 if he/she/aspartame has any strategic advice, since it looks like he's/she's/(whatever's) already familiar with the violence.

TQ-01 says that Delta Blu and Alpha Rauthaz are in an epic battle of wills and lasers.
He says that there remains a clear possibility of a stray plasma beam hitting you and
that it is imperative that you find a way out of the atrium as soon as possible.

Luckily for you he doesn't have to be responsible, you have minions.

It's simple really, you made these guys with the arm materializer with the info from your bracer.
Because you didn't use your bracer's materializer, it never ran the function that deleted the stored data
for the occupied slots. Yeah, that sounds plausible. You just used the data over and over to make these TQ-19408605s.
Oh, no, you're army is waking up and they don't look too happy to be here.

Okay, you're sorry, you don't want to be a master. It's not your business.
You don't want to rule or conquer anyone. You'd like to help anyone if possible.
Grey...lighter grey, we all want to help each other, Gabronians are like that.
You all want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery.
You don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this galaxy there is room
for everyone and the cosmos is rich and can provide for everyone.
"Tell the aliens that"
The way of life can be free and beautiful. But you've lost the way.
Greed has poisoned your souls – has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped you into misery and bloodshed.
You have developed speed but you have shut yourselves in: machinery that gives abundance
has left us in want. Your knowledge has made you cynical, your cleverness hard and unkind.
You think too much and feel too little: More than machinery you need...uh...gabronianity; More than
cleverness you need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

"I was thinking that but don't they mostly fight dangerous aliens that don't feel kindness or
gentleness towards us?"
"I've heard that there's still a lot of strife amongst the Sectoids of the Grey Tide"
"I've only been on this ship for a few MCPs but even I know that Gamma Magenta is working
to overthrow the Grey Tide mandate and bring everyone back in to the nuclear worlds."
"You too? Well, I heard that the leader of the empire mandated that order."
"Yeah, I'm TQ-19408605. I think that Magenta had a way to get around that though."
Is anyone paying attention to you anymore?
"Ha Ha real funny, I'm TQ-19408605"

a laugh at my expense."

This is getting ridiculous. You're thinking of going with TQ-01's idea
of leaving at maximum speed, perhaps on robo-legs.

Nice. I notice your attention to detail in reproducing the only bridges I've ever drawn for this.I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious, I did the entire thing from memory and made stuff up on the spot, hoping that it looked at least somewhat like the bridges you drew. Also there was a whole lot more to that image, but I cut it off and deleted it because it looked horrible.
Ditto here when I first read it. Plus a small snack to prevent starvation.That was a hell of an awesome read. I should probably go get some sleep now.Glad you liked it. Tell me you didn't go through in one sitting.

And I tried to link to this post which used the pronoun "him" at the bottom (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2503590#msg2503590), but it would appear I was too subtle.

The text? not so much. A lot of the starting text is still here (http://zerblex-14.auforge.com/?id=1#comiclocation)
And Google has conveniently cached a large portion of the pages due to their popularity (not all of them though).
I guess i could just set posts per page to some obscene number and just Ctrl+A Ctrl+V them all into a text document somewhere.
Well, now I've got text copies of every post on the thread should the unthinkable happen. Might take some time to reassemble

You remember there was some thing where you fought with a litheu and your arm got cut off
and you remember TQ-03, 4, and 5 and then you got hit by a mean doctor and made an arm out of scrap
and then you made a muffin named cupcake and it killed the litheu for you but you fell asleep then
the litheu came back to life and you made a laser sword and fell through the floor. Then You got hit
in the face with a toasty guy who turned out to be TQ-01 and here you are.
"Yeah, that's really interesting, what's this litheu thing you're talking about?"

TQ-01 tries to run through a door but is stopped by a big angry looking alien that seems familiar.
Oh, right that's a litheu.

I have almost nothing to suggest them to do but... F***ING RUN! The firefight might be a good place to hide, as it has pretty colors to distract any alien that might get a seizure by that (there's a tiny little chance of it happening, but the chance is there).

You shan't be denied your parthian shot though. it is clearly weakened by colorful fungal delicacies.
Taste squeaking sponge you fiend! It doesn't seem affected, maybe these sponges aren't edible.

You think if your arm was very good at feeling pain it might be hurting about now.
Maybe he could lead it to the firefight it could tip the sides in either favor, or at the very least get it killed.
Having saved his life, TQ-01 considers this idea.

So, yeah, duck. Perhaps by oh-so-casually leaning against the nearby tree, thus permitting the "cheery wave" strategy in combination.
Also, I think it's worth remembering the Sectoid infravision if it becomes relevant. That litheu is doing the invisible thing again.

just give the first era a proper sendoff.

While TQ-02 and Rauthaz wrangle things out, it's up to TQ-01 to come up with a cunning plan to escape from Blu for the moment.
When Delta Blu isn't looking, throw squeaky plant into the underbrush/throng of cloned guards on the other side. Escape while DB is distracted looking for you in the wrong place/killing throng of cloned guards/fighting the litheu attracted to the noise.
And then probably see how T-666 is doing, because it's been a few months.

Lie that you have a bomb inside TQ-01 And a device connected to your eart so that if you die the bomb activates.Fun thing about game-mechanics: retroactive actions.
The way we wired his power source to the mechatronic coupler, that we had to shortcut using a completely unsafe damaged DXC-248 shunt, makes TQ-01 actually a walking bomb. Then comes the point where you lie and tell him you need to maintenance him or he might blow up.

There, that way we can kill not one but 3 playable characters and to serious damage to the ship causing it to implode on it's self. thus causing the kill counter to multiply so high that it will give us enough points to score 4 extra lives leading to bringing back alpha,TQ-01, TQ-02, andLie that you have a bomb inside TQ-01 And a device connected to your eart so that if you die the bomb activates.Fun thing about game-mechanics: retroactive actions.

Alpha Rauthaz begins to get physical with her persuasion.
She can't kill you, if she does, the only thing keeping TQ-01 from exploding and killing you both is a transmitter
closely linked to your heartbeat.
"You're bluffing, you don't have any scars on your torso."
Chi Naur, she's right, you have no idea what's keeping TQ-01 from exploding.
You totally wired hisd power source to the mechatronic coupler with an unstable

But, she should still value your ability to keep the ship in good repair.
"Nope, don't need the ship for very long anyway."
Sure, just kill the Sectoid who can make cybernetic in the middle of a battlefield
while we're still here.
"Stop trying to bargain"
Can we at least leave the atrium? Tastes like molten slag in here.
"We'll see, are you ready to cooperate?"
Alpha Rauthaz begins to get physical with her persuasion.
She can't kill you, if she does, the only thing keeping TQ-01 from exploding and killing you both is a transmitter
closely linked to your heartbeat.
"You're bluffing, you don't have any scars on your torso."
Chi Naur, she's right, you have no idea what's keeping TQ-01 from exploding.
You totally wired hisd power source to the mechatronic coupler with an unstable
DXC-248 shunt. Logically, you and five TQ-19408605s should be dead right now.

I'm going for the MWF setup from now on because it's actually really convenient for me.
I realize that this is kind of a cop-out update so I'll try to finish a real update tomorrow.
No promises though.

Alpha deside you need someone to soak up plasma bolts and distract alien scum while you make your retreat, but its best to assert your dominance over these trash, afterall you are of higher cloning stock; perhaps with a brutal scarf lashing.

Alpha remove armor and rush out to the guards, pretending to be a lowly tubespawn and inform them that Blue has sent you to find reinforcements and amunition to aid in the fight of Alpha and alien scum in the nearby atrium; if that doesnt get them moving continue past them on the guise or continue implying while rushing back.

the trust of the commandos. Sleepy the cyborg can chill in this corner until

Well, yes. And take this opportunity to realize, deep down, that you appreciate the little people who've brought you so far. But first:
(http://i.imgur.com/3l5Fp.png)
Wait, Glox! The elevator isn't working. Those commandos must have known all along.
Either ask that commando underfoot for more information, or at least be sure of the commando's dead/alive status.
Alright, assessment time. Where do we stand now . . .
Spoiler: First map (click to show/hide)
Oh, and:
Bwee hee hee that number is lower now.When you left there were 96 crewmembers there are probably 89 now
Spoiler: Second step in map-progressing (click to show/hide)
So by now we're closer (i.e., actually in the atrium), but even this elevator is a distance from our target. When planning, keep in mind that there is another equal corridor distance between the top of the elevator and the sweet, sweet psiotonin. We cannot leave anyone alive behind us with a gun (or even leave guns behind for someone to pick up), else we will be shot while running. Also, "Evil ideas which Robocorn might already have."

No, this really isn't bad. Look at these happy-go-lucky goofballs. It's like they don't even know about Litheu attacks and plasma battles and stuff. Which they don't.
Therefore, calmly go about your business without even talking to the mechanics. The most they'll think is that Alpha is in the military and TQ-02 is a slightly-weird cyborg. I support the "access the maintenance computer and download schematics of every access tube, crawlspace, and ventilation duct on this ship" option. And then, TQ-02 should accidentally reprogram the maintenance computer to produce muffins while trying to hack it.

TQ-02 should find a battery for his materalizer while he there, then materialize some spare batteries.
The spinning suggestion strikes the laws of physics in the law of conservation of energy, shattering it!

well the last time we screwed up and TQ-02 couldn't think up proper batteries.
we should just skip the middleman and just make the materializer materialize energy it could use to materialize other stuff, that way TQ-02 just need to wait for it to charge back up.

All of the elevator monitors are conveniently missing. This should buy you a few minutes if they go around to check every floor.

since your geneticode's been kicked from the system.

Yeah, so get too it TQ-Whatever. Materialize some ammo and a materializer to materialize with on the go and
maybe something useful.
"Yeah, about that...I've kinda been...kicked from the network."
He's joking...Right!
"Ha Ha...No. I got kicked and assigned for responsibility training before we left Zerblex-14, heh."
For the love of Chi Naur just Jury rig it then!
"Eh, it's more of a software issue really, and I'm not good with that kind of thing. I might be able to
cheer you up with a muffin if we asked nicely fro some spare batteries."
Holy fucking Glox he's serious this is the stupidest thing you've ever heard. Neither of you can use a vizu-screen.

Now that he's got his batteries it's time for you to ask for things. You could really use a new circlet about now.

Why is the hostage listening to TQ-02?
"...because I have such great ideas?"
You seriously doubt that.
You fail to see how a light land vehicle that will probably interfere
with the artificial gravity and give away the your position will help
you get to your psiotonin reserves more quickly.
"Have you tried asking for psiotonin reserves?...whatever those are?"
Of course you haven't. It wasn't on the roster whn you were supreme leader
and even if it was there probably would be some weird restriction on it
and furthermore...

A half litre of psiotonin is in your posession. In retrospect it might have been easier to
do this instead of murdering scores of your own crew. What's done is done anyway.

I'm sure nobody wants to hear about how I didn't get any sleep during midterms and had to crash last night and
do the Wednesday update on Thursday. I'm sure everybody is more concerned with the potential return of mind bullets.
I actually had to go back and make sure that I didn't forbid this specifically, but it looks like all the
relevant suggestions involved finding it in the walls or sucking it out of guards with bendy straws.
I'm beginning to wonder why I didn't leap at the chance to incorporate the latter.

Jump in the sweet van and drive (incredibly recklessly) to the elevator. Attempt to fit the van in the elevator. Drive through the commandos who will most likely not be expecting an indoor assault from a light vehicle. Run over as many as possible. Shoot mind bullets at the ones we miss.

But before doing that just order TQ-02 to make a psytosin dispenser that runs on grind up gabronians, As fuel for the van and alpha.

It just so happens that Alpha wanted to materialize psiotonin (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1896643#msg1896643), but was prevented due to revoked authorization (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg1925015#msg1925015).

My vote's on the AI for replacing the slot.I'm surprised nobody's tried to fill our empty character slot with the level 9999 janitor. Who I'm nicknaming TQ-9999 until otherwise stated.there a ongoing battle on who should take tq-04's place.
Also, keep the psiotonin. If that tiny amount can cause Alpha Rauthaz to nearly explode, imagine what we could do by injecting Delta Blu or Pi Topazzz or whoever with 7 times that!
Anyways: Rauthaz: Go on 'unstoppable psychic juggernaut singlehandedly conquers and takes control of ship' montage. If any puny cyborgs or litheu or whatever cross your path, teleport them into space! Feel free to scream the sectoid equivalent of "KANEDAAAA!" as you do so.
some say Cou should be in, others say some random sectoid/gabronian no one said Leeyanne should fit that slot. No one even brought up the AI.
Also, don't waste the psiotonin on some plebian. Mind-bullet them a couple dozen times or something similar then take a small dose to restore what you used up, much more efficient, although I guess the other way would be funnier... assuming it doesn't give them psychic powers, then we'd definitely be in for some FUN.

You are a member of the Arthropod Empire colonization force sent to transform the population of this planet into loyal members of the empire. Your mass biological information device (MBID) has fallen into the hands of the locals and is being kept and experimented upon in this ship. You must take the MBID back before your rivals the Litheu beat you to it and use it for a cookbook, and as a fully mature queen genetically designed to interface with these 'Jabrionians' you have the means to do so. Sadly 'Jabronians' anatomy and mutations prevents your babies from infesting them thus all forms of normal take over is futile.

B). I am glad that ZC-04, the one I also favored, is in the lead. (I summarized the contestants here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2738056#msg2738056). I theorized about further edits to the roster for balance here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2739784#msg2739784).)
C). Yes, that is a book, and we should allow a teardrop of shimmery power to fall on it.
D). No, I do not accept the challenge to be dumber. Unless it's funny.
E). All of the above.

Hey everybody, It's that time of the semester again. Finals time.
The time when I want to do fun things but don't have the time to spare.
Space Voyage (and by extension any other fun art things) will probably
be taking the backseat until about April 20th.
Hopefully, I'll come back a little better at art
and with a bit more free time on my hands to work.
Happy Hiatus Everybody!

And lo! it was revealed that the creepy-crawly ebonling planescions know something. The scribbles in the book are clearly creep-crawl language, akin to the stuff on the walls inside (http://uberrobocorn.deviantart.com/art/TQ-666-Adventure-210872115), and they react to "magic tears." Hmm. In that animation, the "angel" said that the critters have been "accidentally summoning alien dreamers for millenia"; the fact that they could now predict the summoning of a "chromatic titan" suggests that they know WAY more about TQ-666's powers than he does. Perhaps TQ-666 should consider scrawling little line-and-circle diagrams with, uh, his chin, until he figures out the mystical patterns that prompt desired results.

By what, specifically? The most recent update, or multiple recent updates? The most recent one can be explained by looking at the posts before it. (My suggestion seems to have been taken wholesale.) The only unexpected feature would be the attacks zeppelins. Yup. Attack zeppelins. Don't know what they're doing here.
Oh, wait. They arrived to attack Giga-Nana and we got in their way. And they're probably about to exhaust their payload, meaning that it would not be safe to lower the field and let them in. Actually, look around and size up the military forces. If lots of reinforcements are arriving, do the special "salt magic dance" and lower the field. If no more are arriving, stand up and politely greet the zeppelins.

Conveniently, my guide post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=74729.msg2223767#msg2223767) has links to every TQ-666 section in the story, so you can read up on such exhilarating concepts as the Surrealm, the meta, AND MORE! Or you could use it to go to the plot recap posts alone, and read Robocorn's own summaries in brief! And for only the low low price of you clicking and reading some things!

Now, as I understand it, both parts of this statement are incorrect:
He's either dreaming, or in a coma, laying on his floor being kept alive by the roboting arm that gives him food and water... and all this is some kind of collective unconscious formed by the bug things, or some shit.
As you said next, yes, he is literally out of his original reality and inside the Surrealm, "bodily abducted by the alien." It has been established as such for so long that it would constitute a plot twist if he were truly unconscious back in his old room. And the Surrealm may be some form of "unconscious," but it is not formed by the bug things, as everything here (including the bug things) is directly created by TQ-666. Or it was until he went into his self-pitying salt cocoon.

it's a classic trick, but I still really like what you're doing with the colours.
I don't know what the trick is. I'm basically just doing a quick painting digitally with a hard brush and a soft brush for all of these.
My palette looks like this if you want to use the colours.

Honestly I wouldn't count that against you, oftentimes drawing uninformed or linearly thought out suggestions can be more interesting than the ones

Hey man, as much as I sucked a year ago I was never as bad as early Space Voyage made me out to be.
I didn't start trying on my art until around 500 pages in when I read somewhere that doing MSPA made Hussie worse at art.
Even then I never really put my all into Space voyage's art (Until, uh, now. I can't actually paint better than this in an hour and a half)
I guess that the moral of the story is if you don't put in the effort then the art won't ever improve. </cop-out>
I still can't write.

You can too write. Look at what you do with suggestions. On one level, of course, there's making a scene out of the best/funniest ideas. On another level, though, there's how you wrangle leftover ideas, sentence structure, and forum thread context to fill the cracks with jokes and references. You incorporate everything; then you still come up with new ideas that prompt new input. About the only thing you could use is a spellchecker. (By the way: do you type in Firefox?)
Regardless, the creepy-crawlies have accidentally given you what you want: though they do not "worship" you, they now "respect" you as a threat. This gives you power (see the above plot recaps). Use the power that is surely coursing through you to transform the rockets into pretty flowers and turnips.

Nothing better for a burn than some soothing salt water. Cry some more! Cry until you form a salty shell over your vulnerable body.

Or, use the newfound potency to finish your metamorphosis! Erupt from your salty cocoon as the local equivalent to Mothra, and take the battle to the air! You may not have arms and legs, but you do still have a spine!

It's times like this that I wish I were a better composer. That was one of the things I really admired about adventure guy.

Enjoy this completely contrived cliffhanger. If you suggest stuff it might make it into the flash.

Sorry, everyone, I always thought I'd try to not be that guy who starts a really long thing and then disappears
off the face of the earth or returns and never brings up the game again.
I'm still around, I'm just a lot busier than I was when I first started this. Honestly, I never even figured Space Voyage
would still be a thing a year and a half later.
Although it's been months since I've updated, I assure you I have no plans to abandon Space Voyage
permanently. Aside from better managing my time to include silly comic things in addition to polishing an actual portfolio,
there were a few things I wanted to do that I've been wanting to do that I've been putting off. I've wanted to come up with
standardized methods of producing clean anti-aliased art, produce model sheets for races and technology to make them
consistently visually distinct from each other (make all of the characters not look the same), finally put much of the
setting backstory into writing even if I'm going to change it later, and get a little more loose with the tone to prevent
from becoming needlessly grim-dark or pedantic (The sci-fi is already soft, why change it).
These things will, of course, take time and I figured I'd eventually get to working on it once you're already accustomed to waiting.
The things that have frustrated me about Space Voyage are mostly my own fault, I've had trouble with the art and story because it's all
thought up on the spot and I feel generally uninspired because my visual and literary libraries were lacking (The lat sci-fi novel I've read in the
was Hitchhiker's Guide and that was over three years ago). Book recommendations would be appreciated :)
I suppose in addition to being swamped I didn't really think my current skill level was appropriate for a multi-year project.
To reiterate I don't want this to become one of those bemoaned death threads haunted by the moaning of fans that fall upon deaf ears.
I could still answer simple questions and throw around concepts and redesigns. There have been a few other short ISG based games
that I've toyed around with starting that I might do. I suppose it will really depend on the input of you, you strangers friendly enough
to humor my silly alien story that bit off more than I could chew.
Thank You

http://forbiddenplanet.com/picks/50-sf-books-you-must-read/
http://www.goodreads.com/list/tag/sci-fi
If you want personal recommendations, it's hard to go wrong with the big three (Heinlein, Asimov, Clarke). For our Demi-God of Tears' flirt with fantasy, I'd recommend Roger Zelazny and Frank Herbert. And for a more comical take on the genre, try Harry Harrison or Eric Frank Russell.

I would also suggest you read Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, it's pretty damn awesome.
I'm sorry to disappoint. Ive been meaning to get stuff done for it but I just keep getting busier and busier. This trend is likely to continue until most of the way through
2013 so I'm not sure how reassuring I can be. I've been thinking of doing some shorter non-committal games in between but I'd have to get pretty far ahead on much of my work.

Man, I'm still amazed that people read through it start to finish in one sitting.
You are the one who deserves applause.
I greatly appreciate the suggestions of all of you who I did not directly respond to. I've noticed some overlap amongst recommendations so
I'll probably be sure to read those stories. I'll try not to reference them too strictly it will be good to have more background knowledge to
draw from. It would be really embarrassing to just restart it with more stuff inspired by cheesy power metal songs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtE8ph5_Aks).
Thanks for caring everybody
Still not dead yet October 2012.

As for books I'd suggest Ender's Game and maybe it's sequels (didn't really get into them much) by Orson Scott Card.
I'd not recommend the sequels, the first sequel was okayish but after that they're very meh. This is one of those books that really shouldn't have sequels though.
Darkwar by glen cook is also pretty good, though it doesn't really focus on the sci-fi aspects that much.
Iain M. Banks' The Algebraist, Excession and Player of Games are all good.
Timothy Zahn's Conquerer Trilogy is also pretty good.
John Ringo is hit or miss for most people but you might enjoy some of his works.

I found Speaker for the Dead to be pretty great, but then again Orson Scott Card originally conceived that book as a separate novel. He pretty much added in the connection to Ender's Game at the last minute so that Speaker for the Dead could be published (or something along those lines). As for the rest of the sequels... I suppose that it depends on your tastes. I heard that the first few books in the Shadow Series (Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, etc.) are good, so you might want to take a look at those.

I'm sorry to disappoint. Ive been meaning to get stuff done for it but I just keep getting busier and busier. This trend is likely to continue until most of the way through
2013 so I'm not sure how reassuring I can be. I've been thinking of doing some shorter non-committal games in between but I'd have to get pretty far ahead on much of my work.
It's alright, I understand you are not ACTUALLY a revenant/zombie version of your previous robot/mythical creature self. Feel free to do other stuff if the inspiration strikes: the basic fact you're saying "nope, this game won't advance for a long time" makes it a lot more comfy to go in another direction. You know, as opposed to people dropping off the face of the earth (/sky) and showing up elsewhere without a word.

Sort of update.
I've actually got stuff done almost. In the last couple of months I've read Ender's game, the first two Discworld novels and the dune series up to
God Emperor which I'm currently a quarter way through. I plan on slogging my way though the foundation trilogy some time after finishing God Emperor.
After being on the internet all these years I suppose I underestimated how good actual literature really was.
I still feel like I might accidentally rip something off if I don't have more varied reference points, but I'm fairly certain that at this point
I'll be ripping off something half decent. I'm not sure if my art skill will ever catch up to what I want it to be, but at the rate I'm progressing
I might be good enough to scribble off something half decent within a couple of months.
Second order of business
It's almost time for the second annual punishing-myself-all-day livestream.
January 11th rolled around again and last year I tried (and failed) to do a 24 hour livestream. I said I'd try to do it again
next year. Which is next Friday. How the time does fly. I haven't actually done anything in almost eight months
but I figure I could take requests or we could do some worldbuilding or something as I slowly become too exhausted
to do anything.
How does that sound?

In what is no doubt a cosmically important jolt you are thrown from your feet
and with you, your 1105 perfectly chronologically organized phototronic slips.
Your masterpiece hangs in the air
(http://i.imgur.com/ich5HdT.png)
And is brought unceremoniously to the ground.
(http://i.imgur.com/wwyxVxd.png)
You are dazed but not disheartened, surely the disorder can be corrected.
You are the forever optimist IMG-444 assured you.
You just have to collect your prints into order before you
distribute them to the chronotorium for hyperpreservation.
(http://i.imgur.com/vtGf89D.png)
No, no, no!
the phototronic ink is being contaminated by the floor somehow.
There is no way for the prints to be submitted to the chronotorium in this state!
(http://i.imgur.com/ngDTxQT.png)
This won't do.
It must be some kind of biological contamination.
Anything retrieved through the trans-heisenbergian temporal scan not submitted to the
chronotorium cannot be objectively proven to exist, there's no context for understanding this time-thread.
It could almost be said that the events never really happened. did they?
You've worked here long enough to know there are no coincidences but that won't fly with your new superior.
How can you complete your time stream assignment and preserve your shaken optimism?!
You can do it!

Oh uh if it's not too much to ask, do you still have the old image files? I tried rereading the adventure a couple months ago only to discover that imageshack ate most of the images in the first half or so. Twas quite a bummer :(

If we're trying to think of ways to clean up those pictures, if we have multiple copies of each, cross reference them with each other to fill in the gaps. If not, who knows?

Thanks@Furtuka
I actually have all the image files in chronological order. Re-uploading them all and finishing all the hundreds of missing ones would take a lot of time I don't really have.
More than anything else, the disappearance of adventure guy hurts my heart. I think we at least made a pdf of that or something but the fact that even the image used to link to it is dead strikes me deep.

goku alien was the first Gaibronian who currently looks like kabal from mortal kombat. krillin alien is goku's friend who lost and arm and almost
Most of the Gaibros have pop up into Tearmok's realm but mostly wake up.
Currently Vegeta came back use up most of her psi powers and now dragging goku and krillin along so that she can fly off the station and regroup losses.
gaibronians are cloned from vats and given tasks suited for their expertise.
There was one game made and loads of musicals and interludes leading to the sudden halt.

EDIT: Adventureguy's pictures are broken? FUUUUUUCK. I will remember this Imageshack.
EDIT2: Seconding the Dropbox suggestion, it's a pretty convenient tool.
EDIT3: Elves of Amanereli is still golden though, thank goodness.

For that matter, you could send them to someone else and have them recreate everything, potentially. I'm sure there would be people willing to go through and fix everything, required time notwithstanding. If necessary, a mirror thread could be created.I actually have all the image files in chronological order.

recap:loads of weird space nonsense with vegeta alien goku alien, and a krillin alien all kinda working together to stop an uprising and place vegeta alien to the top.
goku alien was the first Gaibronian who currently looks like kabal from mortal kombat. krillin alien is goku's friend who lost and arm and almostmade outmauled by with super tall and thin space-kobold who pretty much Vegeta alien but slightly hard to understand thus deadly and hostile. then there's tearmok the sodium god (who over the years grown in power and now seep into dwarf fortress and now causes every adventurer to shed tears for no reason) has series of small micro legion that follows every order (kinda like bogeymen) and guided by a tech angel gaibronian hoping tearmok can stop some looming threat.
Most of the Gaibros have pop up into Tearmok's realm but mostly wake up.
Currently Vegeta came back use up most of her psi powers and now dragging goku and krillin along so that she can fly off the station and regroup losses.
