The prototype isn't determined by desire, it simply is. Restore its true form and you will become the king! Or you'll have a new weapon. You know. One of the other.

Well, let's try that then! Use a toolkit charge if it would help.

Quote
Yagyu attempts to cobble the carbine together using mostly chewing gum and determination...it doesn't really work. For better or worse the chewing gum refuses to stick to the metal so he ends up with gunparts and gum instead of a "chewing gun".

Since it seems to have failed without any rolls involved, is this your way of telling me I have to use a toolkit charge to even be allowed an attempt? If yes, try again, using a toolkit charge. If no, what would I need to find/do then? Do I need some of that glue that Richter found?

Am I allowed another attempt? If yes, use a toolkit charge on it. If not, is there a way to earn a retry (eg. by finding some more parts somewhere else)?


"If one of you could find/make/offer some grenades/explosives/rockets I could make it worth your time/effort/while."

"I have some mining explosives. Can I ask what you would need it for before I hand it over though?"

The carbine comes together without the use of a toolkit charge, but the prototype resists completion even with the use of a charge. Yagyu begins to see why it is here, unfinished. It is a devilish thing, a riddle for the ages. Also He can't find a hex wrench!

Yagyu walks up to Pathos, puts one hand on a spidershoulder, leans in closer, and replies:

"Then go explode things, spiderfriend. By Jove, explode them good."

Pathos can have one (1) mining explosive. 1! Not 2! Not 3! Not 0! But 1.

"Oh! And remember how you said you'd make it worth my while? I anxiously yet dreadfully await to find out what that means!"

Yagyu hands the pyromaniac robot spider a single mining  explosive. For a moment the phrase "If you give a mouse a cookie" echoes in his mind. He's not sure why.

Well that's one thing down on Kenneth's list, it's time for Kenneth to look for more shinies.

Kenneth, much to the relief of his teammates, finds absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. No treasure, no horrible demons.
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all

Go back and 3d print something to cheer Wilfred up. I know! A comically oversized black tophat! Power it with conventional energy systems instead of nuclear ones for now.

Bob hits the printer with his tail while imagining a traditional, diesel powered top hat. Nothing special, maybe just a 6 cylinder. However the 3d printer apparently does not respond to his delicate touch in the same way nuclear power cells do and remains stubbornly inactive.

Ignore everything around me and push the button.

Tara heads back to the lasers and
Throws some dead fish at them to see if anything’s done to the fish


Hmmm, could a chihuahua sized creature fit between the beams? Also, can I tell just by looking whether or not these might just be the “cut your ass into pieces” lasers?
Spoiler: Ji (click to show/hide)

Burt presses the button. Unfortunately, roughly 15 seconds before he does so, Tara attempts a fish based investigation of the lasers. As soon as she touches one of them, they all go out in an instant and a distant beeping begins. The source of the beeping is unknown to everyone for the moment.

Likely this will change in time.

Find a way to sneak up to the gooped deployable autoturret (maybe through the vents) and then either turn it off or make it consider us friendly, preferably the second one. Then hand it over to Yagyu in exchange for his beautiful boombooms.



The turret is, as it turns out, completely encased in foam, so working on it is currently a bit difficult for Pathos. Carrying it is also difficult as he is a tiny robot spider and not a big strong human with their big veiny throbbing...arms. Also its pretty firmly stuck to the floor like discarded ballistic chewing gum. Hmph.

"Do any of you hear a beeping all of a sudden?"

Was there any ammo for the carbine as well, by any chance? Either way, take the various parts of the prototype thingie, perhaps we can try again later.

Go collect the inventory of the guy who got shot up by the turret before, no reason to let it go to waste I suppose.

Does everyone hear that beeping? If yes, carefully go and investigate.

Get back to the team ASAP and tell them about the lasers and the fish. If there's time before imminent horrors emerge, do a cursory search of the room with the turret in it.

STUPID EMPTY ROOM! Kenneth unloads his primal rage towards the printer alongside Bob. That will teach it to not give Kenneth money for nothing, stupid non-sentient object.

Go fix the beeping. Unless the beeping is caused by another autoturret. In that case let someone else fix the beeping.

Stick around Yagyu. Unless he goes to investigate, than follow but from a safe distance
Try to use my human bits to make a separate hand that I can control, like Thing from the Addams family. If succesful, try it out and see how easy or hard it is to control from a distance.

Go stumble towards this sector's control room, while muttering about violence against Derp.  Try not to step in front of any turrets or lasers.

Bob and Kenneth both violently assault the 3d printer. This results in a broken 3d printer to the surprise of no one.

Yagyu, disappointed with a lack of ammo for his new gun, collects corpse stuff and prototype parts before joining the team in exploring the mysterious beeping.

Wilfred meanders about, stumbling through the halls and somehow ends up at the control room for the sector. Its locked, as you'd expect, but he somehow made it there without running into further resistance. He's not even sure how he got there. It seems to have been some kind of fugue state. Hmmm.

Richter finds he can in fact create a "thing". He can't send it off on its own, so he has to run a "cord" of nerves behind it in order to keep control of it. He sticks an eye on one of its fingers so he can see through it.

Get back to the team ASAP and tell them about the lasers and the fish. If there's time before imminent horrors emerge, do a cursory search of the room with the turret in it.

The murder ball, lead by Tara due to circumstance, rolls past the former laser grid on the way to the sector exit. As they roll along, the beeping gets louder until the source of it rolls around a corner about 35 (10 meters) away. The first thing that rolls out is a pair of armored treads, followed by some kind of rough skeleton of steel and pistons topped with an oversized camera head at the top of a stubby neck. And on either side of the steel frame torso are a pair of mounted miniguns.  Somewhere from in the armored torso a speaker announces

"HALT. IDENTIFICATION PLEASE"

((Oh cool. A T-1))

Attempt to provide identification.

Should things go south, use spider speed to jump onto the robot's head so that it won't be able to shoot me. Then either plug into it and hack into it to gain control over it/disable it or, if it's not possible to hack it, use mechanics skill to cut whatever looks important to blind/disable it.
