sooo...is there ever going to be a next plot? The list of queued plots was so long but nothing is happening..
as you can see all the free time is not good for ICARUS psyche

That's the problem?

Who was up? Would anyone mind if I started my plot?

Kyle sighs and goes about fixing the workshop.
"I never said that..."

What didn't he say?

Alright. No one responded in the last...hour or so. I suppose I'm not too surprised. Consider this a two-parter, I guess.

We design a new hovercraft, the HoverMax 2000!


_{The HoverMax 2000, with an engineer fleeing in terror, presumably in an attempt to escape the explosion unleashed from one of the solid fuel booster several seconds later.}

The HM2k was launched, with no explosions even! It's not really hovering, per se, but eh.


<sub>The HoverMax 2000, in flight and not exploding

We spoke too soon

He's alive!

Trapped, though.

Not for long!

Whoo!

We now have three flights in progress.</sub>

Bob escapes the pod, although there is another explosion as what seems to be the parachute casing is rolled over. Science is done.


<sub>That reminds me, we need to clean the crashing pod.

Bob, contemplating his inability to open the Mystery Goo Containment Unit.

I wonder what the scientists can gather from the inexplicable explosion of the MGCU.

Nope.</sub>

The engineers realize they named the first one the HoverTron and the second the HoverMax. They begin debating about which the third should be called, with smaller factions arguing for HoverTrax and HoverMon. Regardless, the HoverMax 2000 is fired up.


<sub>That's more like a hovering max! Or tron!

That...is not.</sub>

Alright, maybe we should stick to rockets for now. Jebediah supports this notion, but we do it anyways. We begin to investigate a most wondrous area...the runway.


<sub>Did we really need a rocket to get there?

We need to work on aim...</sub>

Eventually, we science the runway.


<sub>Good point.

Note to self: Always get EVA reports before letting go. (I had to toss that one out. Eh.)

Unusual.

Neat.</sub>

We now have enough science to learn something else! Suggestions, anyone?

ICARUS continues going through various shelves with the HF-blade. She stops just centimeters before slicing through Meme on accident, who was going through cogs/cowering in fear.
"Oh. Sorry little one."
She turns around and leaves as if nothing happened, leaving hundreds of thousands of material damage in her wake.

"I'd advise you be very careful next time. You don't want to make me angry. Or, better yet, don't do that again.

((Also, Elf is online.))

Alistair just hugs her because why not.

Angel is a bit worried by his lack of an answer, but not that much.
"This is nice."

((Any answer to this?))

ICARUS grabs an arcwelder and drags it behind her like one would usualy drag a person by their hair, and throw it unto the metal press to crush it. She then proceeds to ion blast the metal press.

<Kyle, do you know of any emerency shutdown switches on ICARUS?>
Will looks for one.

I don't expect it in normal conversation.

Ions are a type of atom. The charged kind. You're looking for "photon".

And yup. That's what happens when you have things made out of light!

I'd argue that the merfolk are a bit underpowered, for the reasons you've explained above. Maybe let them set up fishing nets or something, at least?

Spoiler: The Lakers (click to show/hide)

Color: Blue
Heresy: Aquatic
Species: Merfolk
Population: 1/(1-1)

I'll choose where to start once the tiles are numbered.

Tile 102 sounds good.
