Oh also the link to the archive for the first thread just came back up.

>>23476879
My plan for spearmint is to put a tarp over her and she'll just have to follow us blind through the robots. Hopefully she trusts us.

>>23476937
> You return to the camp with the tarp. Spearmint is glad to see you. You think to yourself that it would be easier to lead her through Ops Delta blind.
>You ask her if you can do something special when you leave the camp.
"what do you want to do?" she asks.
>I was wondering if I could blindfold you.
>She gives you a strange look.
"I don't think that's safe.."
>Please it's just going to be for a little bit when we leave tomorrow.
" I just don't know about that"

We're getting a turn or two in camp because of the new thread adjustment.

What do we do?

>>23476937
you're assuming the good robots are still there and not the murderbot they warned us about.

>>23477804
You'll just have to trust me. Don't worry, you won't have to wear it for long. Why don't you think it's safe? I wouldn't do it if I didn't think it was necessary. Do you know anything about verbal codes or biometrics? We're on the 14th floor, did you know that? What's the farthest you've been down? Have you ever explored an entire floor?
>>23477872
Then we better leave quickly and they said they would be there for 16 hours.

>>23477882
oh are we still on the same day?

spearmint has likely encountered the neutral lobsterbots, so she should be able to believe us when we tell her there are nonhostile robots.

>>23477804
So I remember dying before and then I got spit out of a tube. How does that work exactly?

>>23477882
> you tell Spearmint that you have a really really good reason for blind folding her.
>after a lot of pleading she finally gives in.

>The night moves on. You eat more squid, your body doesn't try as hard to reject the meat.
>While you are eating Spearmint speaks up. "You know, I had given up ever seeing anyplace other than his facility before you came along. Thank you."
The rest of the night is quiet as you both prepare for the day ahead.

I'm going to sleep. I'll let you guys figure out what these two are doing on their way out of the storage hallway.

>>23478562
if our characters are sleeping this tarp idea is really bad, we're getting closer and closer to the turnover to the murder bots.

>>23478623
The difference between construction and murderbots should be easy to tell, so we can just peek in when we get there.

Oh hey, we're back!

>>23479170
not if you don't bump

boop

>>23478650
should be? according to the foreman all bots have orders to kill on sight, he was exploiting a 'safety stanbdards' loophole. We shouldn't assume all non-security bots will extend the same grace.

>>23481248
Yeah, should be. They won't be constructing stuff. And we're safe at least with that foreman's bots. And should be safe for any construction foreman controlled areas since they should have the same priority/overrides.

>>23478562
We should leave the first thing in the morning after breakfast. We should each have a knife, paper for kindling and put the flares down our shirts.

>You both try to leave cam as soon as you can
.> you take everything except for all but one of the samples because they are too heavy.
One you get to the end of the Ops Delta access you blindfold Spearmint.
>Instead of just running into Ops Delta you first peek in holding Spearmint's hoof.
>Inside you see that all of the things growing on the walls are removed and there are now a lot of boxes in the large room. You hear movement inside.
>Spearmint begins to shiver in your hoof.

What do we do?

>>23485203
YouTube: Boy do I hate being right all the time - Jurassic Park

>>23485203
Actually you know, this blindfold thing was dumb.

Spearment, I think I saw a robot, don't panic, we need to sneak past them.

>>23485203
How many robots are patrolling?
Is it possible to sneak past them, and if needed, a way out if we get spotted?

>>23485203
take off the stupid blindfold, explain to spearmint about the foreman bot and that it now looks like they might have completed their work early and their could be murderbots here.

my short term plan would be to try to sneak in the samples and then do the magic super attraction thing as a distraction.

>>23485203
Comfort Spearmint. Tell her that it's all ok. You're here. Let's go.

I can't do this, i can't watch them die.
have fun guys.

>>23485252
>>23485273
>You pull Spearmint back into the Ops access and remove her blindfold. Then you explain to her that the Foremen told you about the end of construction in the area and that security would soon be moving in.
>Spearmint says, "Why didn't you just tell me? Don't you trust me?.. It doesn't matter now, If You and I want to get out of here we need to trust each other..." afterwords you look back into the room. You see three robots that don't look like the construction team paroling between the crates in the room.
>you also spot a few of the construction robots adding finishing touches to some of the interior.
There are three routes. One through the control access leading to the terminal. (Right on the wall)
Another to the far end of the room and to the right which you remember leads to Ops Xi.
and the last at the end of the room and to the left.

What is our next course of action.

>>23485611
I don't know, I thought you might get scared.

I was scared.

We should take the route with the least amount of robots, or most cover.

>>23485611
We could talk to the terminal because if the foreman is gone and the other ai is there he can give us a map right? Look at the guards patrol routes. Go in their blindspots like when two are far away from each other and not looking in your direction. Be sneaky!

>>23485660
why do you assume that 14 Delta can be trusted and won't just raise the alarm? The foreman needed a loophole to not kill us, who says an operations AI has a similar workaround?

i think the key here is that a). the robots are patrolling the crates and b). we're above them. we can bomb them with a canister.

>>23485611
ask spearmint about the range of the samples. if we can leave them here and then sneak. if we're caught we use our magic.

>>23485646
>>23485660
>>23486053
>You determine that the safest way across the room is to go into the terminal room.
>You both sneak to the terminal room and as you're walking towards the terminal, Spearmint stops you and begins whispering.
"If your going to access that terminal I don't know if that''s the best idea."
>>23486076
>>23486447
>You say, "by the way what is the range on those crystal's magical absorption. We might need to use them."
"About ten feet"
You are now in there terminal room in Ops Delta There is a staircase that leads to the second floor of Ops Delta.

What do we do?

>>23485611
Could we try jumping onto the boxes and get across that way?
Just a suggestion, I'm also considering the possibility of the box breaking and something escapes the box.

>>23486755
continue to sneak.

if the terminal awakes and raises the alarm, we can leave a canister on the stairs and activate it when the robots try to climb.

stairs are the natural enemy of bipedal robots and the second floor was clear last we saw.

>>23486755
What could happen if I wake the terminal? Last time it was a nice foreman...

>>23486811
the regular AI would presumably be there.

an operations AI named 14 Delta.

Sadly security is normal for this area, so this AI can probably be presumed to be hostile.

>>23486755
Let's go up the stairs then. Sorry computer, maybe next time. Ask spearmint about her experiences on talking to terminals. When a floor is completed and orderly do they want to kick you out?

>>23485203
Oh shit, I guess we robocop now.

>>23486791
>>23486986
>You both quickly climb the stairs. As you're heading up you hear the terminal say, "employee work number please... Hello?" This Prompts Spearmint to go up the stairs faster.
>Once up the stairs you see a large robot patrolling the upper area. the boxes are smaller here and as of yet the robot hasn't noticed you although, once you leave the stairs you will not be well hidden.

What will you do?

>>23487681
Throw softened pokey at Terminal. Robots will come to his aid leaving the way open.

>>23487681
the fact that the terminal spoke first is a good sign, we could return and speak to it, leaving spear on the stairs.

i'd rather the terminal not see us both at once since that might be a trigger for some sort of 'purge the cloning malfunction' protocol, plus spear sped up so she might be scared.

okay.
give spear the samples, if something goes wrong she can throw them off the railing next to bugbot and then hopefully activating it would pull bugbot off the second floor. since the samples absorb magic actively, her bad aim shouldnt be much of a factor.

we go down and talk to the terminal, give them our number and reference our talk with the foreman.

>>23487681
Use the ol' throw something to the opposite side of the room then sneak past while it's distracted routine

It looks like you're going to go down and try talking to the terminal. Any last opinions before I draw the next panel?

>>23488058
I'd rather not, lets just try sneaking past the big one.

Need to use a distraction.

>>23488092
we don't really have distractions, we have a small bomb.

>>23488092
the terminal knows we're here, if we don't go back it might assume we were a monster and sound an alarm.

>Hold Terminal Hostage.

>>23487766
>>23488352
Communicating with Terminal slightly won out due to these posts.
>>23487885
>>23488269
>You go back to the terminal. Spearmint tries to signal back to you not o go but you think that maybe, just maybe You can reason with the terminal,
>When you arrive The terminal says, "Oh so you are there! Please provide your ten digit worker number or place your hoof in the biometric blood sampler to the left of the screen for identification."

What do we do?

>>23488660
Place hoof on the biometric blood sampler. Maybe we'll be registered. Might as well find out now.

>>23488660
do we still have the W4 slip from when we found the suit? might be an employee number on that

>>23488707
You didn't keep the W4.

>>23488715
throwing out valuable tinder? bah, those anons...

hoof it is.

>>23488660
name

I'd rather go with the number, we know we aren't an employee...

>>23488735
we suspect we're a clone of an employee, or bioform thing. at the least, spearmint did work with the employees and the foreman accepted our use of her designation.

>>23488704
>>23488727
>You place your hoof in the sampler and it take a vial of blood.
>The terminal analyses your blood for a few seconds and says, "Identified as Bio-form 11-54. Access not valid. Please remain here for security processing."
>There is no alarm. just the sound of machines moving outside.

What do we do?

>>23489004
Lesson was learned. TIME TO RUN BECAUSE THIS IS WHEN THE PUNISHMENT HAPPENS.

>>23489004
>Enough Ms Nice Filly.
>Put something sharp up against his keyboard if things get tense.
>"Alright Cabrones, no funny moves now or the terminal gets it!"
>Maybe press that big red button because I can't help but notice it.

>>23489004
I knew this would end poorly...

>>23489004
Hit the big red button and run.

>>23489004
So the quest name is 11-54, but the images are all named 11-52-postnumber

Is this a clue to the mystery, or just a typo?

>>23489079
>>23489094
That red thing on the console is actually a mouse roller.

>>23489004
We need to get out of here NOW

Pp-p-p-po-po-poker face time. Come on, we can bluff our way out of this.

>>23489011
>>23489094
>>23489178
>You run up the stairs. Mid way up Spearmint asks you, "whats wrong?"
As you both crown the top of the stairs you are created by the robot that was patrolling the upper level. It points it's gun at you and fixes all four of it's cameras on the two of you.
>Spearmint is stuck trying to let out a scream that doesn't come.

I really don't want to leave it here for now but I have to wake up early. Good night for now, I'll do a bit tomorrow.

>>23489623
yell at Spearmint to grab that hook, pull her legs up, and hold on tight
when she does, grab on to her then kickoff the wall or railing (which ever is closer, hopefully one is close enough)
make a action packed/dangerous escape and hope for the best

>>23489623
Wave at the camera. Ask what it wants. Ask to be let through since you have an important business meeting.

>>23489623
throw samples over the side, both of you grab the hook/each other and pump telekinesis magic, hopefully the robot gets pulled off the catwalk while the crane braces us.

>>23489623
Set off the magic canister at the robot, if possible.

Bump

>>23491329

>>23490354
And if not possible, well... wing it

>>23489623
Is that crane thing just hanging slightly above us on the catwalk? If so, we could use that to our advantage...

>>23492660

I hope we can make it out of this robot situation. Tell them we were lost.

Have a bump

>>23496688

>>23495811
Good enough for any excuse.

>>23489989
>>23490354
>You don't have much time so you grab Spearmint's pack with the sample in it and throw it over the ledge Just as it passes the ledge you hold onto Spearmint and the railing and cast Telekinesis as hard as you can.
>You manage to knock the Large robot in your way over. It is stunned for the time being.
>You hear metal footsteps coming from behind.
The upper level forks right and left.

What do we do?

>>23499021
Run right, hurry.

>>23499021
Let's go right then.

>>23499021
Alas, poor tarp. I knew him well.

>>23499021
run right, larger turn for the big bot to stand and see us.

>>23499044
>>23499060
>>23499117
> You go right.
>On your way Spearmint is hit by a bullet and falls down.

You may be low on time but you should probably think of something if you plan on going back and rescuing her. Either way it's up to you guys.

What do we do?

>>23499584
We aren't leaving her

Fuck

I don't know just drag her.

>>23499584
Only thing I can think of is to give her the stick we had earlier to use as a cane so she can stay off the hoof that got shot. That and pulling her. See any cover or anything you can get behind ahead?

>>23499584
Telekinesis the flying bot into something. Go back and drag Spearmint.

>>23499651
Do you think we could we use telekinesis to support her leg like a splint while she walks/runs?

>>23499584
if it comes down to it, we respawn.
she might not.

we cant let her die.

>>23499874
Its a good idea. Maybe even if we aren't strong enough to simply stabilize her leg we could at least use tk to help pull her. I'm a bit worried about doing this under fire though...

>>23499998
TK the tarp over the drone to blind it then do the TK splint/help idea, we can also support her physically

>>23499998
almost quints...

>>23500008
we dont have the tarp anymore.

TK throw the wrench and drag her to safety

>>23500008
Its a good idea, but the tarp is around samples that warp magical effects and potentially out of sight and range. Do you think we could still tk it?

>>23500008
you're right though, physical support is a must.

>>23499931
We don't come from the same place when we come back, so I can only guess that we don't have unlimited lives to waste. That said, I'd think we'd have at least one more.

>>23500021
Something like this feels best but I'm not sure of the power we have behind our throw, physical or telekinetic. Do we have paper? We might be able to blind it for a few seconds or something.

>>23499636

>You go back to help Spearmint as you go to confront the flying robot you try to use your telekinesis on your wrench but you manage to once again have the magic drawn to the crystal which now has a stronger pull.
>Not ready for it, you are pulled off the ledge and are now hanging by a hoof.
>You managed to take out the first flying drone but you see more coming.
>Spearmint stands up without putting pressure on her hurt leg and yells out, "stay put I'll get you!"

The flying robots are fast approaching What do we do?

>>23500541
Make them fly into each other?

>>23500541
the robot would have been closer to the samples than we were, were they unaffected by the magic?

>>23500541
tell spear to run away.

hopefully she'll still want to be our friend if we find her again.

>>23500541
I thought those things had a range of ten feet? nevermind that it's not even on the same floor as us, turning the corner we didnt even make it 10 feet?

Is it kind of shitty that I'm more torn up at the thought of losing our current outfit than Spearmint possibly dying?

>>23500592
our outfit is only good for pockets.

>>23500575
actually yeah. Spearmint's wounded and I think we have a better chance of fighting them off or getting away. Tell her to run for it. How far is the floor below? If its too far to drop without injury then attempt to climb up/anchor our self on the rail and cast one hell of a tk spell. Hopefully it fucks with the bots enough that we can run.

To explain, the crystal strength. The concrete casing busted open.

>>23500541
no heroes today. tell spear to run, we're going to need a friend later.
>>23500606
seconding this.

>>23500614
if they're super strong, why weren't the bots effected? did they appear immune?

>>23500634
The one flying drone in range got smashed by the now exposed crystal more are on their way from further away.

>>23500606
Building on this. If the fall isn't enough to injure us, then drop and seek again a place to anchor ourselves and hopefully also cover. Wait for the remaining bots to get close to us (if we hid well they'd need a good vantage point drawing them close) and then cast another tk blast. Grab samples and if a gun falls off a robot, one of those and run.

>>23500697
you realize the robot gun isn't going to have a trigger, right? we couldnt use it.

>>23500708
A gun isn't complicated mechanically. The robot is pulling the trigger somehow, we would just need to take it apart and investigate. In any case I meant only grab it if opportunity presents. If its remotely dangerous then yeah we should forget it and run.

But maybe you're right...fuck the gun. No need to push our luck.

>>23500575
>>23500606
>>23500606
>>23500627
>>23500697
> You tell Spearmint to run. She hesitates but finally takes off. Then you let go of the railing and fall down to the level below.
>You are surrounded by robots. the operational ones are pointing guns at you. You see the exposed crystal in the pile of junk sicking out of the tarp.

What do you do?

>>23500973
do we have any options beyond TK magic?

we dont know any more spells.
using our TK this close to the crystal with nothing to brace yourselves with will probably get us really hurt. but i dont see any other choices. maybe surrender and hope they don't murder us?

>>23500973
If there is anything we can hold onto, use it. Even some bolt sticking up from the floor will do if we fasten our wrench to it(manually, not with magic). Then I guess we tk blast them and hope we can get away. Aside from that I'm out of ideas guys.

>>23500973
Cover yourself in robot bits and pretend to be one of them?

>>23501137
"Bleep Bloop, The Fleshbags went that way!"

>>23501260
I suppose if we're going to die, it would be fitting then we should die being cute.

>You decide to end things on your terms and activate the crystal. You feel yourself crushed in the pile of derbies that swarms around the crystal.

I'm gonna catch some sleep. I'll pick this up for a while tomorrow.

I hope spear can forgive us if we find her again.

>>23501353
>>23501328
Or we could die being a total badass...

>>23501353
I can't believe we fucking died again. We lost our bad ass cleaning suit. At least we learned to stay away from terminals. Fuck those guys, they're assholes. Wait for whatever is in the tube to come out. Though you better run to the left and turn the corner and wait to see what it is. If it looks at all dangerous then at least we can start walking in the direction we picked and he hopefully goes the otherway. Who was the sick fuck that decided to make monsters and said "you know what we should clones fillies too so we can see how long they last against them."

>>23501894
That was Greg from accounting.

>>23501370
we'll hug her

>>23501370
Forgive us? I hope she can forgive HERSELF. Mark my words, be ready to find out that she's lost her mind from guilt and grief not being able to save the clones and killed herself.

>>23504203
we'll really hug her

>>23502556
Fuck Greg from accounting.

>>23501894
Think we'll find another suit?

>>23500541
>>23500973
>>23501353
You fucking faggots, we died again.
But we went out like a fucking hero, so I can't be mad. If we're lucky Spearmint ISN'T in that other tube.

>>23508535
She's not, wrong numbers

>>23508535
we're spearmints clone, thats why we told her to run.

if we die we're respawned, if she dies, her respawn may have already happened and she'd just be gone.

>>23501894
> You hide in the darkness and wait for the other tube to open.
>When it finally does a sickly looking hairless pony flops out wheezing. It doesn't look like it has the strength to walk.

What do we do?

>>23509217
We scream. We scream.

>>23509217
Watch the alicorn die

>>23509217
are those wings? damn, they tried to clone an alicorn?

stay away, watch dinnertime.

>>23509229
No.

>>23509217
Look around. Where else is there to go?

>>23509217
Go help the hairless pony.

>>23509251
>giant tentacle thing in frame
no, lets not do that

>>23509286
We can use telekinesis to pull the pony towards us then. He, or she is all lubed up and should slide to us easily. They might know something and can help us. Or they're mindless in which case we can drop them like a rock in water.

>>23509307
I kinda agree with this. It's either an ally or bait, either is good.

>>23509319
you dont sit next to the bait, pulling her to us is just going to bring the monster to us.

I don't know where you get the idea we'll have time for 20 questions.

>>23509251
>>23509319
It is nothing but a load. It's going to die anyway. I know it's cruel, but we can't afford to help it.

>>23509384
maybe this thing is always malformed, lies here and feeds Cthulhu; keeping the monster content. if we interrupt the respawn process Cthulhu might get hungry and start wandering the facility.

>>23509352
Why didn't the monster come after us and wait for the other one to open up? You think it's smart enough to know "fillies are troublesome to eat. I will just wait for this one to come out." I think it's one of those wall monsters like the flowers.
>>23509384
We can die anyway and it wouldn't matter right? I think it's worth the risk to take it with us if there is a chance that it would be in our interest.

>>23509407
>We can die anyway and it wouldn't matter right?
we don't know that, we might have limited respawns or respawning might not be instant.

>>23509499
I considered the limited respawns though not the time it takes to come back. I just want to know if it can talk. What's the point of an adventure if you don't let curiosity lead you to places you shouldn't be?

>>23509499
Yeah, for all we know it's been ten years and Spear is old af now, if she's still alive at all.

Who knows if this fucking thing hasn't been developed in between robot onslaught and our current spawn?

>What if the Superintendent is trying to run the gauntlet of failures with these alicorn things in order to phase out the Spearmint clones? What if we're running out of time before new us'es stop coming out of those tubes?

>>23509582
whats the point of an adventure if the respawn mechanic is abusable to the point that we do anything because we don't fear consequences? Death should be something we try to avoid whenever possible.

>>23509609
I'm not saying that we should jump into the mouth of a monster every time we respawn. I'm just saying that we can take more risks then usual if it means we can get something out of it and it isn't stupid to do.

>>23509646
I mean, we're talking about pulling this pony to us when there is literally a monster in frame behind it.

thats pretty stupid.

>>23509669
It's risky not stupid because then we could get into a tug of war match with it's body and once grabbed we can run away.

>>23509669
I feel we should at-least drag her with us, if it gets too close, assuming its not a wall-creature, we can toss her regrettably.

>>23509609
We lost our inventory and our companion m8

>>23509692
you're making dangerous assumptions about the monster and taking risks for little gain.

>>23509695
we know its not a wall monster, we saw it.

>>23509709
and i'd like to get that stuff back rather than waste another respawn.

That pony can't even walk, We can't carry it with us. It's going to die.

>>23509731
We don't know what possible gain there is or could be which is why I suggested saving it. If it turns out to be worthless at least that's another lesson learned like with the terminal and we don't have to bother in case we see another one of these things again in the future. I just don't see the losses we would have other then death which at this point doesn't mean much. And if the game ends because we ran out of lives then I say "so the fuck what? We probably wouldn't have gotten out of there anyway."

>>23509815
I just don't wanna see us lose another possible companion, even if it's going to die, I want it to die knowing we tried to save it. Even in a not-best case senario, it'l die in our arms and we can feel sad about it, but glad we did something good.

I'm going to have to tally this stuff up again.

>>23509217
eww

>>23509846
nigga u gay

>>23509846
I don't want to get attached to something that will just die.

I know it's wrong, but we should just leave it to it's fate...

>>23509846
it's not going to be a companion in its condition. plus we have no place to hide it, no place to run to.

if we want to be merciful we'd kill it now.

>>23509872
Why would you get attached to them? We don't know anything about them other then that they're weak right now.
>>23509874
We're on the first screen and nothings happened yet. There could be a room right down the hall.

>>23509867
I know.
>>23509874
Companion was a bad word. I ment more it acknowledges us for our actions, assuming it isn't braindead.
>>23509874
Killing it is even more of a risk, might not even be bait then. Again I just wanna leave an impression at most.

Letting the monster get it one out by a little bit from what I can tell.

>>23509952
It's spelled "won". If you want to be sure make a post saying "final decision. Vote" and then people can say "save" or " leave"

>>23509969
I vote Leave.

>>23509969
Sorry, I'm doing a few things at once. and the tally I had, had one extra on the let it die side.
But if we want an accurate count, Let's vote.

Just flip a coin. Heads save tails leave.

Despite my vote to save it, I somehow still feel responsible.

>>23510292
I want to save it because it's the right thing to do.

What do we do?

>>23510429
Let's follow the bird and see where it goes.

>>23510429
lets follow. i feel saver having seen the monster, we might be able to do something for cripple pony yet.

or we'll watch it get torn apart by bird monster babies.

>>23510429
Lets stay as far away from that fucking bird as possible.

We need to get back to level 16, and meet back up with Spearmint.

>>23510429
Stalk the bird, don't want it killing us in our sleep. Also I do not wan't this fleshy pony being chick food.

the pony isnt even screaming, so maybe it couldnt talk.

>>23510429
Let the burd take its prey and make a break for it in the other direction.

Nigga we ain't no Gem Fusion with a alien space rock energy bow, giant ass birds aren't really on our level to fight. I pity the fleshy babby, but let's think realistically here.

What do we do?

>>23511609
man, we need a storage solution.

>>23511609
You better start cranking to see if they work.

>>23511609
Take the .22 LR bullets.

Most probable gun we'll come across will be .22s

If we can dissassemble some of the mortars might get some nitroglycerine.

Take one of each crank light, and radio

maybe there's a handtruck around some where

>>23511648
>>23511658

Hey all you righteous Saddle Arabians You are listening to KVOR, The Mule! Right now we're just about to start up our Steve Miller Power Hour and remember if you can be the fifteenth caller and name all of the song we play in this hour, you win... You guessed it. Tickets to the Sapphire Shores concert on Thursday! Now let's kick this off right with Rock'n Me!
>So the radio works.

Anyway, I'll have to leave it here for a while because I'll be gone until Monday. and I have to wake up tomorrow. If the thread is still up and I find time I'll up date but for now, this is a good stopping point.

>>23511609
How are the bullets stored? If the .308+s are stored in metal containers we could potentially rig up some makeshit saddle bags. If so, take a full box worth of a mix, then fill the other with as many mortar shells as possible, we can potentially use those as improvised grenades. Do not take more weight than is reasonable, however.

>>23512135
well shit, the world didn't end.

>>23511140
think about if you have any past memories about your other clone or food

>>23512159
we remembered the flower that killed us and asked spearmint about it, so its safe to say we remember everything.

Is it just the lack of clean suit, or do we look slightly older?

>>23512357
I wonder.

>>23512135
>We're somewhere in Saddle Arabia
>Probably in the middle of a desert.
No wonder the neighbors haven't asked about giant moles and gunshots in the building.

Indeed we look a bit older judging the few pictures. There is probably a huge timespan between dying and respawning... Spearmint might be dead already.

>>23513121
the apparent age of a clone is not indicative of time passing.

>>23512357
>>23512714
>>23513121

but not to me.

>>23513161
don't be too hard on yourself, especially in light of your other obligations

>>23513188
lim>0 of (any number)/x will be DNE

Think about it, its a LIMIT and the quantity is always increasing as you make x close to zero.

So it cant exist.

Well, assuming that we're not just picking up automated broadcasts that have been on loop ever since the world ended.

But I do tend to the side that the outside world is still more or less unaffected by what's happening here.

>>23517764
Here's hoping, anyway.

>>23517764

if the world is unaffected we can assume we're either underground or in the ass end of nowhere, so make of that what you will re: our escape plan.

>>23511609
Can we toss mortars at things?

this room is pretty messed up, so lets sneak and take a look at the terminal, security could already be down in this area and the terminal is merely waiting for a foreman.

>>23557028
We need to figure out what level we are on so we can rejoin Spear.

>>23557430
examine papers

Guys, we are in Operations Xi. Which is right next to Delta. We should get back there and meet up with Spearmint

About the Terminal:
Let's say yes. Then we fake trying to plug them back in and after a while we say we need to get special tools to finish up. That way we can leave

>>23557430
say that we are, ask were the connection is severed if we can, reach it re connect the terminal

>>23557482
, if we can##

>>23557430
What floor are we on nice robot thing? Do you know how to get to operation Delta from here?

>>23557482
lets not plug in skynet, okay?

>>23557506
its probably running on older logic and isn't insane like the "SUPER INTENDANT AI"

>>23557648
the super intendant is downstairs, the two AIs we've met were both murderbots, its just that the foreman had some safety standards coding that let him ignore the murder commands.

>>23557712
yes but if this guy has disconnected since the EVENT

then he probably isn't insane

note ask when he became disconnected

if since The Event then he friend

if not dismiss him

>>23557767
you think he's been disconnected for 10 years when they had repair bots next door?

assuming this anon is right:

What do we do?

>>23558002
Tell it we are sorry, but no.

Sneak back towards Op delta. See of we can tell if Spear is anywhere near us.

Some time may have past, but not too long because Op Xi hasn't been repaired yet.

> You go into the security room and find the remains of a security guard, a semi-auto .308 rifle, a .45 revolver with 5 rounds remaining, a flak jacket with a large hole in it and a helmet with no damage.

What do we want to keep before starting to go to ops delta?

>>23558716
The revolver since it's just the right size for us. We can try to use the semi auto in our levitation though. Comfortable? Put on the helmet. It might be too big for you though. Do you see anything else in the room like buttons and switches? A book with security phrases?

>>23558716
loot the badge, we got burned for not having employee clearance, a security officer shouldnt have as much trouble.

What kind of ammo did those storage containers have again? Because we should use the gun that has more ammo.

>>23558716
Your right INSANITY is a BIOLOGICAL thing

But RAMPANCY is a A.I. thing but yeah its gone rampant

>>23558876
There was a box of mortars, and then ammo for the .308 and a .22 rifle.

It may be a bit grody, but I'd take the jacket and badge if it fits us, we need the security clearance and maybe pockets. I also say we take an extra gun with us in case we find Spear again.

>>23559279

Are more inventory changes before we press on?

>as you continue to venture it continues to grow darker and you begin to hear things in the darkness.

What do we do?

>>23559745
Time to shout out" hello? is any pony in there? I need help and if you do too then maybe we can help each other!" That way anything in the darkness has to come to us. Prepare to shoot little one. If nothing comes though carefully proceed. There has to be another source of light ahead right?

>>23559745
hmm.

well the good news is we're on the lower floor and spearmint escaped delta on the second floor, so odds are we aren't moving away from her.

>>23559797
we have a flashlight, but it might attract attention.
you seem to not mind that though, for some insane reason.

>>23559821
Because of the gun anon. We can shoot anything that comes out. Unless it's very well armored. Then I just killed us. I admit. It's a gamble. Though if you wish to remain undetected then that's fine too. Let's go the other way and see what's over there since it's relatively well lit.

>>23559847
do you think the thing that made this tunnel cares about our gun?

we're also an untrained filly, if those insects in the corner swarm us, whose to say we're going to successfully rambo them?

>>23559868
I think whatever caused this is gone and you're right. We're untrained. Time to go back to the storage room and set up some targets. We're going to learn how to fire a gun.

>>23559894
thats just going to attract things with our gunshot noises.

we're going to have to sneak through here eventually and i'd rather have a reliable place to retreat to if things go sideways. so i'd say sneak and use the flashlight occasionally.

>>23559974
What the hell is the point of having a gun if we don't know how to use it? It's fine if things start to show up since we're standing on a pile of ammo and we have good cover behind those crates.

>>23560010
We need to find Spear first.

Target practice is secondary.

>>23560010
guns aren't that complicated, if we stick to the revolver we should be fine.
we won't be a sharpshooter, but its not like spending an hour with target practice would help that much.

I say we take a mortar or two if something big does come after us. Surely we can magic it hard enough to set it off, yeah?

>>23560042
I don't think we really NEED her so much as want her. As you saw in the last thread it's not like she rose our chances of survival. She could have warned us about that terminal.
>>23560062
The anon said that we were untrained so I figured "might as well learn how to use the gun then." and we would learn the knock back on the gun and that would be pretty useful to know instead of getting into an encounter pulling the trigger only for it to shoot everywhere randomly.

>>23560122
she did warn us about that terminal.
hell we also intentionally avoided telling her what we were walking into because of that retarded blindfold idea.

>>23560062
Pistols are fucking impossible to hit anything with without training. Rifles are MUCH easier to shoot than pistols. .308's not a forgiving round, which is why I hoped we'd find a .22 rifle, but eh.

I'd give a kid a .308 rifle long before I gave him a .45 Colt revolver. Single action revolvers are not easy to shoot guns.

That said an Auto Loading .308 will be a rather complex affair. She'll need to learn not only how to shoot it but also how to load and unload the magazine, how to charge the bolt on a new magazine, how to field strip the thing. Revolvers are simpler for someone who knows what they're doing, and knows we won't be fighting past 25 yards.

>>23559974
>You say hello into the darkness and the sound of moment stops.
>After holding your gun ready for a few moments, you take a breath and sneak in.
>The dark hall seems to close in on you as you try to remain silent as possible.
>Suddenly, you hear movement in the rubble and you duck to the floor. you can't see what it is, but you hear it moving around in the wreckage.

What do we do?

>>23560531
Ready rifle, and back away. First sign of aggressive movement and we shoot center mass.

>>23560531
Stand still. Point the gun in front of you. Keep sliding forward after a moment and get ready to pull the trigger at a moments notice.

>>23560531
turning on the flashlight might spook it and/or rob it of its night vision?

we could also set it down in the hopes that monsters are stupid and attack the smaller brighter target.

either way have your gun ready and keep moving forward.

>>23560531
can we see that canister? we could run and then turn to shoot it.

>>23560531
>darkness
>tank of flammable stuff that you probably can't see well
start shooting at the approximate area of the noise
maybe you'll get lucky and hit the tank
then things go boom

>>23560662
we're right below that tank of Kerosene.

>>23560531
if we can see the tank, gallop ahead while shooting at it. even if the monster chases us and isn't near the explosion, no animal is going to have an explosion like that behind them and still care about food over self preservation.

>>23560531
THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE FUCKING MORTARS.

>>23560914
We have 2 right now.

>>23560930
oh.

run and throw mortar really really hard?

>>23560946
mortars don't work like that. A .308 round the lungs will do far more damage.

What our filly needs to do is to move away from this beast though, we don't want to fight if we can avoid it.

I just looked up the hazard symbols like the first thread I think.

>Blue 2: whatever's in that tank is hazardous but not as dangerous as the first gas leak.
>Red 3 it's very flammable
>Yellow 0: but it's very stable.
>White: I've never seen a hazard diamond with a plain flat line so I don't know what that means.

Whatever that stuff is, I don't think anything except a mortar will set it off, and our best bet at that point is hoping the toxicity will drive this Aardvark lookin' motherfucker away, or it'll start burning and scare it off. But at that point we'd be just about as effective just chucking a mortar at it and hoping for a direct kill.

>>23560996
class 3: 1223 means it's kerosene.

http://www.health-safety-signs.uk.com/cgi/products.pl?signs=hazchem_detail&id=565&un=UN1223

>>23561009
Alright, so theoretically getting it lit would make a decent blaze.

I'm all for falling back, but that could come in handy if we find a way to ignite the tank and decide we need to go that way.

well, nothing to do but forward. eyes on a swivel since our hearing is damaged, shame the helmet couldn't do more to muffle.

Close eyes and shake head. Try to regain senses and orient yourself. Stay low since smoke rises and get out of there towards an exit.

that guard had to deal with rampaging machines and monsters that wouldnt die when they are killed. he might have killed himself because of the hopelessness of repeatedly killing monsters that would just respawn and come back.

the robots seem to be capable of handling the monsters, so we shouldnt assume our weapons will be rendered useless. have hope friends.

however in reality sprinkler water is some vile stagnant shit.

tear off part of the shirt and hold it to your eyes. wet cloth and rinsing usually helps eye irritation.

Well fuck. I distinctly remember an eyewash station in one of the earlier areas.

Scene: Our little heroine continues down the smoke and debris fill corridor. The emergency radio, having just finished a commercial break, resumes with playing music. Up next, the station operators voice crackles, a little tune to keep your spirits up. YouTube: Katrina & The Waves - Walking On Sunshine starts playing. Our little heroin begin to gleefully sing along.

What do we do?

>>23570845
I really wish this updated on my end before the last post.

>>23570854
delta doors.

open them slowly and sneakily, also squint your eyes incase there is lights on in there, we dont want to be blinded.

Yeah...Tunnels kinda seem like a bad idea atm.

>>23570854
I think the doors are a good bet. I don't think we want to find and fight whatever made these tunnels.

>>23570883
>>23571044
>You peer into the doors and see a short hallway that opens into a large room only separated by a partially shut blast-door.

check an adjacent room first

>>23571257
if we check an adjacent room first and something comes out of the lounge we won't have a way to notice it.

if we check the open door first, anything that comes out from another door has to open a door.

Put the chair against the vending machine and climb on top obviously. Where's that singing coming from?

>>23571585
Send a caring voice to the distressed stranger(or not a stranger).

I...I guess we know Spearmint's been using vents to get around, so it could be her. And we happen to be better armed than the last time we met her...

Chance calling out.

>She pauses and stares at her hooves.

What do we do?

>>23572688
It's ok spearmint. There really wasn't anything you could've done in that situation and I'm the one that made the choice. Can I give you a hug? Hug her.

>>23572688
Hug.

>>23572751
For the love of god, hug her.

I need to grab some sleep so I'm turning in for the night. I'll probably pick this up tomorrow.

>>23572688
As happy as i am that we have spear back, it should be noted that drinking rubbing alcohol cut with vanilla extract would be hilariously lethal. she might have been trying to kill herself.

>>23573236
ask about her leg, apologize for not telling her what you were getting into or listening to her when she warned us away from the console.

Yeh once we get this answered we will have allot more control over the re-spawn situation. Maybe even use it to an advantage.

>>23580966
You ask when the last time she saw you was?
"I, I don't know precisely. It could be a few hours or a day. All I know is that I've only eaten once since."

What do we do now?

>>23584175
What happened to the room security? Are they going to be on the look out for me or will I be forgotten about so that they can do repairs? Do you have any idea on where we should go? I found this weapon and a crate full of ammo. Want to go to the overlook? What is a "vox"?

>>23584175
give her a gun.
if she knows how to use one, the rifle, if she's worried that her broken horn will cause problems, the handgun.

tell her about the radio and that there's still a world out there to escape too.

ask what happened after we.... left, ask if she's explored these other rooms.

>>23584194
>You ask about the and why security robots aren't in here right now.
"They aren't moving outside of Ops Delta. They just kind of, stay in there..."
>You ask her what VOX is.
"I think it's the building announcement system."
>>23584200
>You tell her about the radio.
"You heard other ponies? Outside of this place? That's wonderful NEWS..."
>You ask her if she's explored the area yet.
"I've been in the hallway that leads to the Xi wing. I didn't go far but I found a few bio-labs and a way around ops delta to the office complex."
>You tell her about the firearms you found and give her the handgun.
"I don't think I can aim this"
>She tries to gain some control with her telekinesis but she can't hold it still.
>After a while you give her the .308 rifle instead because unlike the revolver, the rifle you picked up was designed without a trigger-guard so it can be used by a pony.

What do we do?

>>23584733
>that picture
jesus spearmint, do not point the gun at yourself while attempting to see if you can pull the trigger.

>>23584733
oh, uh... that hallway... did you hear a bang a few minutes back? we might not want to go there.

ask her if she explored that hole by the door [or if thats one of the routes she mentioned]. my gut says head to the office complex, we can learn more about this place and what might have happened there, plus it'd be an area more likely to have an evacuation plan.

>>23584733
I think we should go to the overlook and "overlook" things. What did the other doors to the left say or are they useless? Let's then head to the biolabs.

>>23584774
>You ask her if she saw the big hole in the floor, and if that was the way she got to the office complex.
"I saw that hole but that's not the way to the office complex. That hole looks like it heads toward climate control.

>>23584801
The doors to on the other side of the hall were labeled Cargo, Millar and presentation.

>After climbing down from the ceiling Spearmint looks back at you waiting for you to make the next decision.

It's late so I'm going to go to sleep while you guys decide where to go.

>>23585161
check all the doors, lean and shoot.
Loot everything, then we decide what we can and can't take with us.

>>23585161
>Millar
not sure that that is. anyone have any ideas?

i'd say check cargo and overwatch

>>23585161
Cargo could have some goodies, assuming there are easy to open crates and whatnot.But there could be some bad things there that want to chew on our bones...

>>23585176
Usually a name or could be agriculturally related, if it's a name could be the manager of this floors' room.

do you guys think the biolabs/officers might be that place we originally spawned?

>>23585161
The room we go into first should obviously be cargo. We'll even have help moving things around. Maybe we can find one a forklift as well.

>>23585176
Miller would mean more, but as is I don't know.

Worth Checking out.

>>23585205
hmm, maybe

>>23585205
In the first or second area, it seemed to be that was where they were growing the "artificial" samples of magic absorbing crystals. Lots of machinery that had oversized crystals growing out of them, and a toxic non-reactive gas being piped through the area. I'd make my bet they were using gas precipitation to grow the crystals.

Who knows how far we are from there.

>>23585751
That'd be pretty helpful.

We should loot the rooms so we have some gear, also we need to learn spells from Spear. More spells would be very very helpful. It's the only thing for sure that will carry with us when we die, knowledge that is.

I'm really sorry. because I was looking foreword to drawing more spearmint and Player character pone dressed like Barney Calhoun...

What happens if Spearmint dies? Does she come back or are we the only immortal one?

>>23605530
it depends. if we were intentionally created so that there would be two active 11-54's, she'd respawn.

if there was a glitch where we spawned because the system thought she had died, it's possible she has lost her slot.

personally, i' hope we never find out.

>>23605591
>i' hope we never find out.

same tbh

I wonder if we can convince that broken terminal to up our security clearance? Then once that's done actually plug him into the network. That way we are updated as actually being allowed where ever it is we need to be. Actually promise to fix him if he gives us a maintenance clearance or something. You never really question the janitor or the repair man if they are allowed to be somewhere.

>>23612517

>>23612864
that's a nice idea

>>23612864
It depends. Let's take a look around and try to get some more planning done before then.

>New lounge, new camp?

>>23616881
might be good to have several fallbacks

>>23618068
Agreed, another camp. Also we should start leaving helpful hints to any other survivors in this place. As well as a resupply. But ensure it's only for ponies and not monsters.

>>23592765
>Player character pone dressed like Barney Calhoun...
>Barney Calhoun...
I knew it!

>>23612864
remember we have the security guards badge now.

Looks like most people want to go in the cargo room.
>You open the door marked cargo slowly but as you open it you find a room full of levers and knobs that overlooks Ops Delta
>The room is messy with papers scattered around the floor.
>As you walk in you say.
"Hey spearmint? Do you think you could teach me some of your magic?"
>Spearmint loos a bit taken aback by your question which transitions into a shy nervousness before she speaks staring at her hooves that she is pecking at the floor with.
"I'm afraid of hurting you... With magic, that is. But I guess it would be good for you to know some of my spells. I guess if you're ready I could try to teach you combust, condence, or a basic light spell because it looks like you already know how to use telekinesis pretty well."
>She looks up and gives us a somber smile.

What do we do?

>>23619907
Dammit. Do the controls work or is there a big crate in front of a door that we can move out of the way? Let's learn the basic light spell if it's easy. Plus it'll be very useful since this place is so dark.

>>23619907
We should set up a safe spot and learn ALL the spells! Never know when you'd need light, water, or a bit of fire. After that let's see if we can't get the nice broken terminal to upgrade our clearance. As for the badge we don't match the griffin guard DNA. Unless we can trick the terminal to think so? Either way we need to see what options are available with it.

>>23619943
we have a crank powered flashlight, lets learn condence.

>>23620137
For now, as established we lose everything on death. But I suppose survival trumps a nightlight. So here's the order to learn in: condense, combust, and coruscate yes I went for alliteration

>>23619907
Tell her not to worry about us. If we die we just come back again and we will find her again. Nothing to worry about.

>>23620388
thats kinda dark.

"Don't worry if you burn my face off, just finish me off and i'll find you again"

>>23620388
... Yeah like that's not a traumatizing thing to say at all. That's like saying "Don't worry, even if you kill me I'll come back to haunt you with your guilt forever!"

Just stand back when she does it. We should be fine. Also after that we should loot and secure our place in this hallway, find something to block off the access points to only those who can use crawlspaces and has a brain. That should cut out all the monsters, but allow ponies.
