>>24069007
go turn it down but also comfort her

>>24069007
Turn the radio down, but don't turn it off, let her listen to the outside world for a bit. Hug her and tell her we are going to make it out of this crazy place.

The .308 ammo for Spearmint's rifle is packed into metal cases inside the crate, right?

do we want to check in with the terminal again [after explaining to spear its disconnected and no we arent going to die on her again]
or do we move on towards the alicorn area?

>"Oh, I'm sorry."
>Spearmint turns the radio off.
"You didn't have to turn it off... Are you okay? You've been a little... distant since you froze up in the bio-lab."
>"I I... I'm sorry I've just been thinking. I don't know what the outside world is like, I gave up on ever seeing it so long ago that, I don't know what I'm going to do when we get out. I wanted to hear what the outside world sounded like because I don't think I've heard any music besides what Colette let me listen to as a filly..."

What do we do?

>>24068991
>that OP picture
Damn son, that's really nice!

>>24069351
Ask her how her fillyhood was
Time for some backstory yo

>>24069351
I don't know what the world is like either, but i think we'll be okay out there if we're together.

she's down on her luck and she believed herself worthless last thread, so we need to remind her that we need her too.

>>24069351
Turn the radio back on, with low volume, snuggle close and ask about when she was younger while music quietly plays in the background.

Don't forget to tell her we would have died again if it wasn't for her being there in the biolab, that spider thing surely would have killed us if not for her. We need her as much as she needs us.

"No, Something is bothering you and it's starting to cause problems. I'm not going to let you leave until you tell me what it is, because I need you. If it wasn't for you, who knows what would have happened back in the biolab."
>Spearmint looks at her hooves. "I already told you that they used to make me do magical stress tests... But I started doing them shortly after I remember... being... I only had one friend, Dr. Colette Green... She used to talk to me about who I felt and what made me angry and what I was scared of. and she used to let me listen to her music when I told her what was on my mind... I remember that there where others like me... But a lot of them hated other ponies, even me... I don't know why... Is there anything else you want to know, because I don't know what to tell you and I don't want to remember."

What do we do?

>>24069755
Hug her and tell her that it's over now and she doesn't have to worry about any of those things ever again

>>24069755
I just need you at your best if we want to get through this.

Remember the good things, tell me about Collette.

>>24069755
hug her.

there's a whole world of new and happy things to discover out there, too much for a filly like us. we're going to need you spear.

>"Collette... She, she used to write down everything I told her in a little book. it made me feel special. Every time the machines disciplined me I was taken to see her right afterwords and she let me tell her about how scared I was. I used to tell her about my fears because she made me feel safe. I remember she also did puzzles with me, where I had to recognizes patterns and.. She used to ask me a lot of questions about the things I just knew... Like the thins they didn't teach me, like reading and what certain things were. She told me that it was a gift they they gave me because most foals don't just know those things..."
>Spearmint seems to be lost in thought.

What Do we do?

>>24070056
Do you think collette would have wanted you to stay here scared forever? it sounds like she cared about you, so wouldnt she want you to be happy again and away from all this?

be strong, spear. If you can't do it, what hope do i have? i'm you after all.

>>24070091
"Do you think collette would have wanted you to stay here scared forever? Wouldn't she want you to be happy? If you can't do this, what hope do I have? I'm you after all."
>Before Spearmint can answer your questions you hear the screeching of some creature coming from the hallway you say the Alicorn in. You both spring up in alert.

>>24070308
retreat to terminal/security room. anything that comes here will probably just eat the dead capy
and move on.

No matter what, no-one suggest using the mortar. not in the room with a crate full of the damn things, not to mention all the spare ammo

What do you do?

>>24081924
great. perfect.
the one enemy i was happy about having a gun against and its already been merc'd by something bigger.

make sure we're not in a position where the terminal will wake up and talk/fucking us over by attracting whatever is out there. otherwise wait for it to start eating [or whatever] so we can get a look at it.

>>24081993
This. Quietly observe.

>>24081924
Look at the growling. Holy shit if it's the alicorn.

>>24081924
Observe quietly, check if Spearmint's gun is on single-shot or burst. Last we knew, it was on burst, not sure if that would be best or not in this situation.

>>24081993
>>24082096
>>24082239
>>24082252
>Spearmint's gun is on burst.
>You stand back and observe, keeping your distance from the terminal.
>You see a creature climb down and begin eating the bird. it keeps looking up and chuffing the air as it scans the room.

What do you do?

>>24082427
NOPE forget what I said before, ready mortar, maybe tell Spearmint to hide behind something for safety in case we need to chuck that shit. Hide, maybe it won't find us. not sure if it has eyes or not

>>24082427
>Hole on the side
Wow. It turns out being merciful isn't a luxury we can afford. Let's just get quietly get the fuck out of here. Tell spearmint that it's ok to use that fire spell she knows no matter how out of control it is.

My video game knowledge and instinct tells me that red spot on it's side is a weakpoint we can attack for critical damage, but I'm not sure if I can trust it right now.

>>24082448
>not sure if it has eyes or not
that was my first impression as well, but we left the radio on and it doesnt seem to react to that.

so either it has eyes or it uses super smell and its going to kind us through that.

the good news is that it looks killable.

here's my plan: put a mortar on the ground at the door, then shoot at the red spot. if it isnt immediately wounded or killed, retreat into the security room and then detonate the mortar when it tries to enter the terminal room. this way the explosion is contained away from the mortar crates and the blast is guaranteed to be near the monster since its at the door.

>>24082427
Hmm if it's a natural predator or at least acting like one then it should be content with its current kill, so long as we don't make it think we're a threat, or trying to steal its food it shouldn't leave the corpse,

>>24082448
>>24082454
>>24082465
>>24082526
>You tell Spearmint that she should use anything she can, including magic if the creature corners any of you.You also tell her that she should try shooting at the spot on the creature's side in case it's weak there, while you set your mortar by the door..
>Spearmint fires a three round burst at the creature and hits it once above the shoulder.
>The creature yelps in pain and turns towards you. Both you and Spearmint hide in the security room causing the terminal to greet you, "My connection to the mainframe is down so my services are limited. Are you here to reconnect me to the mainframe?"
>As you enter the security room you see the creature creep closer to the terminal room door, but it hasn't entered yet.

What do you do?

>>24082902
its a tough call to make because this isnt a normal enviroment, the creatures here can be assumed to have been brought here for a reason that makes them unique.

the pack hunters we saw earlier were notable for their high aggression, the same might apply here or it might be different in its own way.

>>24082947
Try to find cover, if it steps through the doorway, shoot the mortar and hope you don't take as much damage as the creature.

Shooting the thing will take it out or at least immobilize it, but it'll probably also close off that route from structural damage, not to mention alert robots to our general location. Don't take that option lightly.

>>24082958
shooting the mortar is risky if we miss, and might not work. better to use telekensis to slam the pin into the wall or something to that effect.

we should also get the rubbing alcohol out, since we can use it as an emergency bomb/molotov if something goes wrong with the mortar. tell spear to fireball it if we throw it.

>>24082958
>>24082986
>>24083004
>The creature steps through the threshold of the terminal room and you use your telekinesis to click the mortar's pin in.
>The mortar rockets into the terminal and explodes.
>You manage to gib the creature, destroy the terminal and blow up a wall.

What do you do?

>>24083123
Well, shit. What's behind the wall?

>>24083123
Is the doorway clear? If it is, go back into the room with the crates, grab a new mortar

>>24083123
huh. well, thats one quest route off the table.

restock mortar and examine the hole, if there's nothing there i say we start moving to the hall we respawned in.

>>24083194
>After making the door to Ops Xi larger with the destruction of a wall you and Spearmint head back into Operations. While you grab a new mortar from the crate Spearmint restocks the three bullets she used.

>>24083381
Use dead cappy's clothes to fashion straps and make improvised saddlebags out of whatever you can find. I believe the .308 ammo is in metal boxes, those might make good pouches for improvised saddlebags. Then sore medical supplies in one side and some extra ammo and maybe an extra mortar, wrapped in remaining scraps of cloth to protect it in the other side.

>The tubes in the hallway are closed and displaying 21-03 on the left one and 13-56 on the right.
>You turn to Spearmint and let her know that this is the place where you found the alicorn and that bird from earlier was what dragged it off.

What do you do?

>>24104785
Advance and make sure you keep the rifle trained forward.

I'd rather not attract anything else so put away the mortar and take out the revolver for now.

>>24104897
>You continue down the hallway which ends in double doors that push open.
>You pass through and find a nest that is littered with bones and a couple of large bird chick that look like they've been killed by something.
>You also see what looks like a door to some stairs and what looks like an elevator.

What do you do?

>>24104429
jesus bathwater.

>>24105126
call the elevator just to see if it works.
otherwise examine stairs.

confirmation that the alicorn exists in an endless cycle of terror. no wonder it didnt respond when it saw us, who knows how long its existence has been just being eaten alive constantly.
also:
THE NUMBER ON OUR RESPAWN TUBE HAS CHANGED, WATCH THE BACK.

>>24105419
>You press the elevator call button and the doors open up into a dark shaft.
inside you see dim red and blue lights lining the shaft as well as a ladder that runs up and down the shaft.
>As you look down into the abyss you begin to feel uneasy. your knees weaken and you crouch down.

Nobody's playing right now so I'm going to step out to get something to eat. I'll be back later tonight.

>>24105853
remember, down is killer robots, up is monsters.

but we have guns and monsters seem to die to them compared to armoured killer robots.

i say we check the stairwell and go up it if its not risky looking.

I'm here but I don't have much to add at the moment.

I guess check the stairs, ladder isn't much use to without hands.

boop

>>24105853
I think we should turn back.
Not much but certain death here.

We should have check the kinds of bones they had and if they were all the same.

>>24107231
turn back towards the monsters that were going into delta? forward [either via stairs or elevator] is the only route that ISNT certain death.

>>24107287
there was a skull that looked like a baby of the monster we just killed.

which has me worried about that respawn tube.

>>24107321
We have weapons.

If this is as influenced by Half-Life as it seems to be then the monsters should be the least of our worries.

Its the Clean up crew that will actually give us trouble.

>>24107334
I'm just wondering if that alicorn has been killed over and over again.

>>24107351
so go up? remember how the robots are coming from the bottom floors?

>>24107359
there are three alicorn skulls in the picture, so yes.

>The hallway that you see inside is lined with a track on the wall and windows that look like they are meant to display various things for potential investors.
>There is also a pile of metal bottles on the ground.

What do you do?

>>24107617
I see you there pokey... taunting me.

>>24107617
that looks like the crystal growths from the lab we got our first clean suit from, brb rereading.

"Magic absorbing crystals are being manufactured in several FABs. If you see these in an area that is not marked as a no magic zone, inform you manager and tell all of the workers in your area to avoid using magic. these crystals are highly volatile in the presence of magic."

>>24107617
tell spear you're worried about the crystals and why, maybe she can shed light on what happens and at what ranges magic should be avoided.

remember we need magic to use our pistol, so equip melee unless spear tells us these are different crystals.

>>24107617
Let's start exploring then. We can also ask spearmint what some of these fungus are.

>>24107639
>>24107680
>>24107723
"Spearmint, You see those crystals right?"
>"Don't worry, I know. I can feel them."
>You realize that you can also feel a slight pull coming from them.
>As you enter the hallway a robot attached to the track on the wall that looks like it's missing a large piece moves toward you and says, "Hello, are you here for a presentation? If you do not have a presentation scheduled I can always check for the next available time."

What do you do?

>>24107894
ask about the presentation

>>24107894
Ask if you can go now.

>>24107894
Ask when the last presentation was. It might give us an idea of how long ago shit went foobar around here.

>>24108207
>>24108298
"We do not have an appointment but we would love to attend a presentation."
>The robot focuses it's eye on you and says, "Let me check for the closest available time... Congratulations! there is a spot open right now! Are you ready for the presentation? I see that you are Unicorns, I ask that you please refrain from using magic during this presentation."
>You agree and the robot leads you down to the end of the hall which starts with double doors that are shut. The robot begins it's tour with a wall full of pictures of various ponies.
>"Patwrite drafting and design was founded by Cornwell Patwrite, an ambitious pegasi who grew up in Manehatten. He founded this company on the idea that you always have to move foreword, using the company mantra. "Always Progressing." We Here at Patwrite like to keep this Idea alive by bringing you the latest innovations in all fields we find ourselves in.
>The robot moves on to a window full of weapons mounted to tables."As any country leader can tell you peacekeeping is one of the hardest social conditions to maintain. That's why the arms division strives to make the most intimidating weapons we can. Like our Patwrite Cathode Ray Gun know to leave organic targes as a pile of ash. or the [now in beta] Patwrite phase cannon that converts it's targets directly into plasma, utilizing the latest in resonance technology!"
>The robot leads you to a display full of the crystals you saw.
>"As you can see here, Our Patwrite scientists have synthesized a rare Magic absorbing crystal that was discover in Midwestern Equestria. Since it's discovery and synthesizing we have discovered a way to power our facilities with them.

With our new genetic development Spearheaded by the Tabuck site We have begun developing organic solutions to many military and utilitarian applications. Currently we are excited with bio-form 13 Which we unofficially refer to as Capybaras Which could be on the market soon. Currently, many of the New Bioforms we have created are still for primary research we are also making great strides in mental conditioning, headed by Doctor Colette Green.Much of the results of this research is currently a classified as a company secret so I cannot go into too much detail right now.

"what new avenues for business do you believe bioforms represent that is currently closed off to your successful android line? Why should we as investors undertake this risk if an android could do the same job?"
>"That is a good question, As our Genetics development is only in it's infancy, we believe that there is great potential. Patwrite is in a unique position, as we have acquired exclusive rights to do research normally deem immoral in the Tabuck province by the Saddle Arabian government. As such, we are pioneering research most can only dream of. As it is related competitively to our robotics research, we believe that one day we will actually bridge that gap between our biological research and cybernetic research one day. which we believe could benefit both. Also, our genetic research has recently lead to new discoveries about existing bio-form already found on this planet.

based on what spearmint has told us, i'm unsure if she was really, really good at her job or actively subverting her responsibilities in spearmints case.

inb4 Spearmint has a nervous breakdown brought on by finding out her only friend during her troubled, early life was lying to her and treating her nice to try to control her better

>You head into the lounge in time to see Spearmint brewing some coffee from an intact machine. she lays down with her cup on a couch and just stares at it.

What do you do?

>>24112597
Well this was pretty cool.

>>24121115
oh god, im not a therapist.

what the fuck do we do.

>>24121115
Ask Spearmint how she's doing. The answer is probably obvious and she might ignore us or snap at us, but at least asking shows that we care. At least I believe it does. If she answers with something vague or simple like "not great" or "I've been better", ask if she wants to talk about it.

>>24121115
Ask if she's planning on drinking that.

>>24121115
go to her and let her know we're here for her if she wants to talk about it.

>>24121115
Do you want to talk about it?

>>24121115
Put your hoof on her shoulder and say "It's not your fault if you don't want to talk about it, but I'm here for you Spearmint.Whenever you need me."

"What they did to you, it's not your..."
>Spearmint cuts you off, "Did you notice that even though I knew more about this place and I was older than you, I still listened to everything you told me to do?"
"..."
>"Even when I told you that I didn't want to talk about when I was a filly... I did because you told me to. There's something wrong with me, and I'm only seeing it now.... I don't even have a name for you. I just know you as me. You are me is what I keep telling myself but, the truth is that you are more accurately what I used to be... Somewhere along the way, I lost something. Something precious. You are good to me, probably the only thing that has ever been really... You are also that thing I lost. Something that I can never replace..."

What do you do?

"Then it only makes since that, because I'm you, I can help fix /you/"

>>24121878
Let's talk to her. I thought you listened to me because you choose to. It would seem that wasn't the case though. It's better to see something now instead of never. You may have lost something over the years in this place though you've also learned from it. You survived. Change is not always a good thing but it's not always a bad thing either.

>>24121878
Set her coffee aside and hug her, tell her "You've endured so much, from those who worked here, and the things they have created, but you survived, you are strong. They may have taken something from you, but that doesn't mean it is lost forever... you might not be able to return to who you once were, but you can become a better you, just don't give up..." I'm not great at peptalks, feel free to ignore me.

>Spearmint looks continues to look into space and says, "I know that mean well. I really do. But I just need to think some things over. I just,I just never thought that Who I am is just what someone else dreamed up. I just don't know what is me and what is their little project anymore.

I sat around redrawing this too many time. I need to sleep. Once again, I can't run this tomorrow, so I will be back on Monday earliest.

>>24122277
well, i am you, so anything i am is who you were and who you can be again. I'll try to be careful how i say things in the future so you can be you, atleast until we figure some things out.

take your time and think things through, if you need me for anything, i'll be here.

>>24122277
I still want to know why she attacked us as her first reaction.

I know this isnt exactly the right time to bring it up, but to me that sort of reaction speaks to something fundamentally broken in poor Spearmint.

>>24122785
because she had been recently wounded and clones are supposed to only pop out when the original subject dies.

our appearance was like seeing a literal grim reaper and she freaked out. probably thought if she killed us she wouldn't have to die.

>>24122853
I agree with this opinion. That's probably exactly why we were attacked when we first met.

>>24122277
For now let's make sure this spot is secure. From there I wonder if it's possible to access those prototype guns from the display without activating security that is. Maybe find a way into the display area to retrieve those guns. Saying that we are security and that we need to return them or something?

>>24122277
Let's give her the time to think things over then.

>>24124993
yeah, that'll help

>>24122277
>I just don't know what is me and what is their little project anymore
"Look at me. You do realize I wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for you?

All that we've done so far just goes to show, you have become more than what they meant for you to be. More than I would've ever imagined in a such a scary place.

You're the greatest pony I've ever met, and I don't see that changing soon."

Hug her tightly and tell her she can take all the time she needs to think about this.

boom

>>24127135
yeah.

they made her for lab experiments, but for 10 years she has been more than that. She outgrew the small box they designed her for long ago.

>>24122853
I dunno. I can understand a freak out, or her running away.

But immediate violence? That seems odd even for the situation she was in.

>>24136428
I am so confused

>>24138237

>>24136428
>>24138306
wat

>>24138306
... I am now worried that somewhere in the facility we will run into the bones of a small pegasus near a bed. I am now somewhat terrified.

>>24139565
Did we ever find that alicorn, or the remains of the alicorn?

I couldn't really tell.

>>24105126
>>24107380
>>24139588
I'm going to go with yes. Though it leaves us with the question of where is that alicorn now? He should have been revived by now. What was his number again?

>>24139663
I don't know.

I just feel bad that we didn't really try to help the poor bastard when we had a chance. We could have tried pulling him away or something, you know?

>>24139663
The alicorn's number seems to be 21-03 based on http://anonpone.pineapplecomputing.com/11-54/23476879/23501353#navbar

>>24139737
....Maybe we should go back to the robot and ask it about bio-form 21-03?

>>24139803
Well, if 11-54 (a bio-form we know to be a unicorn) is somewhat classified, I'm positive that any information on 21-03 (an alicorn) is probably going to be heavily classified.. I'm surprised the robot didn't ask how we knew about a specific project like 11-54 which probably isn't reallly common knowledge outside the company, if we ask too many questions about specific projects that the robot didn't tell us about, it might call security or something.

>>24139844
The robot seems to think we're investors in the company. It kind of makes sense the people funding this stuff would ask about it.

Having said that, yeah, I think we'll just have to find 21-03 to find out more about him.

>>24139893
Since his respawn tube for lack of a better term for it seems to be in the same area nearby, if we can get back there, we might be able to meet him if/when he dies again... His tube did move, but not far it just moved once to the left of his previous spawn point which makes me wonder if his is locked to that region or if he bounces around like we do and if not, why? Either why do we spawn in different locations or why is his locked to this room.

>>24139957
If he spawned there again, and assuming nothing else is in the area, then that would mean he's lying right where we first met him, since the bird that took him is dead now.

...It just occurred to me that 21-03's entire existence after a certain point could have just been being killed and eaten by that bird over and over again.

Now I really do want to try and help the poor bastard.

>>24140027
He could have respawned elsewhere already, or he may have a much longer respawn timer since he's an alicorn, we don't know enough about the respawn mechanics. But that room does seem to be his next respawn point since the number changes after the subject is spawned and released.. We might just have to wait near his tube until he inevitably dies again.. It shouldn't be too long, this place is very dangerous and he seemed like he couldn't stand much less move around or use magic, he probably won't last long on his own, even without a predator targeting him.

>>24140263
Yeah. So...That's our next move, then? Go see if 21-03's respawned?

>>24139957 >>24140027 >>24140263 >>24140335

On one hand I want to go back just to confirm if what we as the anons in the meta have speculated since we last saw the Alicorn alive is actually true.

On the other hand I don't want to go back as even if the speculation is only right on one or two points we could waste a lot of time/face a lot of danger only to discover that the Alicorn is defective rather than sick.

Also I don't know if we want Spearmint to see the Alicorn currently, that might push her over the edge.

>>24140403
True. It'd be a very risky move.

But we don't really have much else to look for, really. Plus, it should be reasonably close by, shouldn't it? The bird probably wouldn't spend time dragging his body a very long distance.

As for Spearmint......I don't know how she'd react to him. I really don't. She could roll with it, or it could break her.

If we do go through with this, maybe we should let her rest in the lounge, and just be extraordinarily careful?

>>24140501
Personally I'd rather go about seeing if we can secure this area that way we have a base of operations. It'd be good to have another one. Also we should see about those guns and see if we can get them out of the display, without alerting security. Only when we have more fire power and a secure base should we go snooping about for that alicorn. Also since we'll have a secure place, we won't have to worry about Spearmint as much.

>>24140796
Good idea. Let's secure the area, have a base, and see if we can get some extra firepower before we go looking for 21-03.

Now, just how the heck are going to get those weapons without having the robot call security on us...

>>24140841
I like the securing idea but I am assuming the crystal display case wasn't broken by the crystal growing out of it and rendering the area dangerous.

I am tempted to ask the tour bot about the ammo/power supply for the guns even tho that might then make it more difficult to steal them if it turns out they are something we could use.

Anyone else wondering what was broken off that tour robot? It was missing a piece...

>>24141367
I would assume a pointer arm but we might as well ask the bot what it lost before asking about other things and just hope the bot thinks we are curious in general rather than trying to glean tactical info.

>Spearmint says, "Do you hear something?"
>Before you can respond you feel something like a wave wash over you from above, accompanied by a loud ringing in your ears similar to the the ringing you heard after setting off your first mortar.
>You feel pressure on your head, Like a migraine. A pounding pain keeps paralyzes you in place.
>Spearmint now looks vary worried. She Asks, "Oh my, are you Okay!?

What do you do?

>>24147971
We seen to be using our magic somehow. Try to focus on NOT using magic.

Also, if possible, tell Spearmint that something's giving us one hell of a migraine and we can't move.

>>24147971
Look for crystals in the room.

try to move away from them.

>>24147971
Tell her you have a headache.

>>24147971
explain your symptoms, she might know.

>>24147971
>panic

inb4 horn snaps hope I'm wrong

>>24148738
Nips pls go

>>24148738
if we dont seem to be getting better or a plan to get better, breaking off our horn is probably going to be my suggested solution.

>>24148008
>You feel something in your horn. You try to focus on not using magic, but it doesn't help.
>>24148026
You don't see any crystals in the room, and that feeling you got from the crystals when spearmint mentioned it was not the same as this.
>>24148042
>>24148054
>You callapse and keep pressure on your head with your hooves.
"My head Hurts so much."
>You continue to feel pulses of pressure coming from above. The lights in the room begin to fluctuate. You close your eyes and the ringing in your ears begins to sound like vague voices.
>>24148614
>Finally the pulses begin to die down and the pain subsides.
>Spearmint is panicking, repeating something about not knowing what to do.

Now that everything is calm again, what do you do?

>>24148866
oh god some psychic monster just passed nearby didn't it.

ask spear what she heard before she noticed we were in pain.

>>24148866
Try to figure out what the hell just happened. It would not do us good to have this happen during combat.

Discuss the symptoms with Spearmint, ask her if she knows anything about them.

If she doesn't know, ask the robot. It's worth a shot, right?

anyone else notice that the images are named '11-52' followed by their number in the sequence?

"don't worry, I'm okay. I feel like I got run over but I'm fine."
>"Oh thank goodness, When I saw your nose bleeding I was afraid..."
"By the way you mentioned that you heard something when this started. What did you hear?"
>It's strange, I had this strange thought about the concept of family. Not what family is but the concept of it, and then there was this ringing that I thought was screaming at first."
"Have you ever had this happen before?"
>"Not that I can remember, no..."

>You head out to ask the robot if he knows what is going on but whenever you speak to it a voice that is different from the voice it previously used states, "This unit is unable to process your request during boot up. Please wait..."

What do you do?

>>24149452
Ah, crap.

Well......secure the area, I suppose. Let's try to put that plan we discussed earlier about looking for the alicorn in action. Try to find a way to get the weapons in the display if possible, set up a safe base camp, take some heavy-duty firepower, and go a-hunting for 21-03.

>>24149452
Grab one of the weapons from display case before it finishes booting

>>24149452
Maybe we should keep going up those stairs? Or go out that door we see in the background.

>>24149506
This sounds like a good plan

>>24149506
>>24149595
>>24149643
>You check the dis play weapons. There seems to be a piece missing from both guns. there seems to be a bundle of wires plugged into the slot where the missing piece goes. Both guns do not respond when you try to fire them.
>>24149627
>You go up another flight of stairs,(You can see that this staircase only goes up one more flight.
>On your way by you hear the speaker-box repeating, Power core 4 is damaged. All available Power-core maintenance personal report to power-core 4!"
>On the 17th floor you see a room that has a broken door labeled Bio-testing Theta.

What do we do?

>>24149959
Right now we should probably stay away from any area that says "Bio-testing."

Check the next floor. If there's nothing of interest up there, double back to the bio-testing area and check it very, very carefully.

>>24149982
>You go to Floor 17.
>On floor 17 you find some sliding glass doors that lead into a hallway labeled Robotics Manufacturing.
>>24149506
>After checking floor 17 you decide to check if that Alicorn has spawned. You head down to the spawning tubes and find the poor creature laying next to the tube that was labeled 21-03.
>It looks at you both and wheezes.

What do you do?

>>24150437
Ask if it can talk, can it stand, does it want help? Should we try to take it back to the investor lounge where it's safer?

>>24150437
Apologize to him for not being able to help before. Though you can help him now if he's like. Offer your hoof to him. We should also ask if he understands what we're saying right now.

>>24150443
>>24150510
>You give the poor creature a smile. You can see red irritated skin all over it's soggy body as it moves it's limbs only slightest bit. You try to communicate with it.
"Hello, I'm sorry I didn't help you last time, but we're here for you now... Can you understand me?"
>The Alicorn stops wheezing for a moment to let out a sort of squeaking grunt. followed by a couple of blinks. Before returning to it's static wheezing.

Alright, it's early in the morning, I'm going to bed.

>>24150624
We should communicate with him by blinking. Blink once for yes and make a squeak grunt for no. Does this work for you?

>>24150624
>Boop

>>24150624
Goddamn that thing is wretched.

>>24150624
Attempt to communicate, blink yes, grunt no, basically what >>24150810 said.
if you cant work that out, move up to floor 18

>11-54 is kill
>OP is kill

>>24150624
>red irritated skin
>wheezing
do you have any anti-inflammatory medication with you
if it's in a less pained state maybe it will be easier for it to communicate

>>24153668
More like The GlacierClearHero, amiright?

>>24153752
Does that mean a fake lookalike cyoa is gonna popup soon?

I think I know what happened when we were on the ground bleeding from our nose. One of the power plants in this place exploded or something. This facility runs off those crystals that absorb magic, so a power plant exploding/failing might produce what we just experienced. So there's something at power-core 4 that we either need to check out or avoid. That said a good plan might be going to the robotics manufacturing since it's power is out and seeing if you can repurpose the robots there to helping you instead of hindering you. Maybe you can have a robot companion or even an army of them.

>>24150624
As for this guy if we want to talk, one blink for no, two blinks for yes. Do you understand? Anything we can do for you? Do you want to go somewhere safe-ish?

Not enough boops in this cyoa/10

>>24155151
>boop bump

If he can understand us let's try to get him a blanket. We can also ask if he knows anything about the facility. Like does he know anything about the doctors?

This poor bastard has had an existence of 12 straight years of laying on a floor until something comes by and eats him alive.

i'd be shocked if it isnt a mindless shell of meat by this point.

>>24150624

>>24150624
alicorn lewds when?

>>24150624
Like everyone else is saying, we should try the blink once for yes, grunt for no method of communicating with the alicorn.

We might have to provide some visual aid for the poor guy, though. Demonstrate what we mean.

>>24150624
>boop it gently
>get booped back
>communicate in boop code

>>24158104
I think we should limit touching it, I am not even sure if we could try to lift it with magic without hurting it.

>>24158265
This. Until we know just what state the alicorn's in, we shouldn't try to move him.

What do you do?

hope you guys had a lot of yes/no questions, because i don't.

uh.
Is there anything we can do to help you?

>>24162614
We have a safe area not far from here. Do you think you can be moved?

If so, do you want to come with us?

If he blinks yes, be very careful in moving him. We don't know how messed up he might be.

>>24162614
This is honestly something I would mercy kill and try to figure out a way to prevent it from respawning more than 'help' it.

>>24162614
Is there anywhere you'd like to go?

Upstairs (incase no)
you want to go downstairs?

Do you have memories of this place before it became a ruin?
Can you help us leave this place?
Do you know who I am?

>>24162723
These are good questions.

>>24162614
If we need to do communicate something more complex, then start saying letters and having him blink or grunt whenever we reach a letter it wants to use.

Start with vowels.
"A... E...I...O...U...' then regular alphabet. "A...B...C...D..E...F...G...H-" blink.

Every time it signals, start again.

"A... E-" blink.

so on and so forth. It's sluggish but it's the only way I know of that can be used to communicate when writing is impossible and yes or no questions may not suffice. If it can spell, that is. If it can't spell, we're kinda fucked unless we ask if for directions using eyes like "look in the direction you want to go."

On these notes, ask if it remembers previous lives. Let's hope not because it might just make me want to puke.

Last thought: Unless that bird is both male and female, there must be more than one bird here. Likely another parent will come for the nest shortly unless it was slain previously.

We should move.

>>24163209
....Wow, that's actually a great idea. We should do that.

>>24163209
inb4 it uses this method of communication to spell out K-I-L-L-M-E

>>24163345
Death is no escape here

>>24163377
Dubs confirm.

Also, if anyone would know this well, it'd be the alicorn.

>>24163377
Sure it is, we just need to keep killing it until it runs out of respawns... surely they're not infinite..

>>24163391
Twelve years, man.

Twelve years.

And we can't exactly do anything to the respawn tubes without screwing ourselves other, either.

>>24163406

What do you do?

>>24163828
Do you want anything?

If all he really wants is to be left then I guess we should leave him, fucked up as that is.

I have a distressing thought.
What if somehow, the world really is destroyed, and all the radios are on a loop? Perhaps it's being unknowingly broadcasted from inside the facility.

>>24163828
i'm guessing its pretty hung up on its imperfection as an alicorn and saw being food as a new purpose for its existence.

>>24163828
This poor guy has spent the last twelve years as nothing but food for the bird.

To the point where hearing that the bird is dead brings him to tears.

Options: 1. Give a pep talk. Try to convince the alicorn that it's still got a purpose in life.

2. Let the poor guy have a good cry. Maybe bring him a blanket.

3. Leave him as he asks.

No matter what, we should ask what he means by "twelve."

>>24163828
You can always find a new purpose. Would it be alright for me to give you one? The purpose of traveling with us and telling us things we don't know since you know this place. Please, we need your help. Sorry but I don't just want to leave you.

>>24163885
This.

The alicorn's one of the few friendly organisms Spearmint and ourselves have met in this place.

>>24163873
Oh, I didn't realize that at first, now I feel bad

>>24163873
I'd go for the first option.

>>24163873

>>24164214
Who is she?

Give the guy a blanket and some food.

That or just hug him already. Seriously, that picture is making me cry.

>>24164214
ah man.

our little filly hasn't quite come to terms with the idea that not everyone can be saved.

ask if twelve is still here and then we'll leave.

>>24164214
I'll leave when I decide to leave which will be soon. but we'll be taking him somewhere else so he can be safe. Maybe inside a cargo crate? He'll probably resist but I think we should pat his head or give him a hug or something. Let's also ask if Twelve is an Alicorn like him and she's the reason the this place has fallen into disarray? Does he know if she's still around or which floor she could be on?

>>24164214
I don't suppose we can go full Mr. Rogers on the alicorn, can we?

>>24164314
> but we'll be taking him somewhere else so he can be safe. Maybe inside a cargo crate?
oh good, i'm sure he'll love death by dehydration for a change.

>Let's also ask if Twelve is an Alicorn like him and she's the reason the this place has fallen into disarray?
he just heavily implied that.

>>24164452
Well we can't just leave him here to die again or get eaten and we can just come back for him. I was thinking he could have some time to himself to think about things. I know he heavily implied which is why I'm asking him to straight confirm it.

>>24164474
you'd just be leaving him to die somewhere else.

look at him, we have rubbing alcohol and some gauze. we can't help him, teams of doctors would have trouble helping him.

it's a tragedy but what can we do other than leave him?

>>24164479
Make him as comfortable as we possibly can.

Put him on a mattress, cover him with a blanket, and possibly come back for him after we do some more scrounging around.

>>24164479
You shouldn't give up before even trying anon. You should exhaust all options and then confirm it as a lost cause. It's not like we're on a time limit here or wasting resources.

>>24164500
Eh, we might be on a time limit, just because we don't know about it yet doesn't mean it doesn't exist... If one of the facilities reactors blew out, who's to say the others won't give out soon..

If the place runs out of power, no more respawns. For the alicorn or us. We don't want to be here if that happens... I'm not sure we would survive the magical fallout from the crystals, not to mention the idea of dying when we're out of respawns..

>>24164214
Do we know any healing magic? Can we at least ATTEMPT healing magic? It's not like he could stop us, and any change to his condition would be an improvement.

Short of that, I'm for taking him somewhere with available food and water and relative safety and checking on him periodically. It could be that, like a polaroid instant photo, he just needs a little more time to "develop".

"I'll leave when I feel like it! Tell me about twelve, is she another alicorn like you?"
>The Alicorn simply shuts his eyes.
"Dammit! Can't you see I'm trying to help you! You can be safe! We will protect you!"
>spearmint yells at you, "Leave the poor thing alone!"
"No Spearmint! We're not leaving him! We can save him!"
>"At what cost? If we save him, how does that change his life?"
"What if I just gave in when you told me to just leave you! How is he any different than you Spear!? Every pony we can save from this hell is worth it! We have no idea what he's been through."
>"You... I do know what he's been through! I didn't survive all of those twelve years! I know what it's like to have the flesh torn off your body by some hungry beast. Before I made my first kill for food, I knew exactly what it was like to waist away with nothing to eat. How dare you say I know nothing about the hell he's been through!"

I really don't want to leave it here but I need to sleep. Good night.

>>24164606
thank you spearmint, these guys are being crazy trying to play doctor in our circumstances.

>>24164606
why is our horn on?

We should have left long ago. And shame on you all for leading us into a situation where we yelled at Spearmint and made her cry.

>>24164606
While we haven't starved to death yet we have been eaten and we know what it's like to have the flesh torn off us as well. It's fucking awful and it shouldn't happen to him anymore. We might not be able to do much for him but I don't want to leave him like this.

>>24164606
Let's just leave it be...
It's really fuckin' painful to just leave that thing in agony, but Spear is right, what help could we have been in the long run?
What makes it even worse is that we can't put it out of its misery, it'll just come back...

Also, because of >>24121878 congratulate Spearmint for disagreeing and snapping you out of it.

>>24164606
suffering isn't a contest, spear. Did you think those robots were the first thing to kill me in this place?

look at him, who knows how long his existence was just being eaten by those birds. He thinks that's his purpose in life! He doesn't know what hope is and we should just allow it to continue because confronting what has happened to him might be painful?

---

but while i'd like to say that, we actually have no practical way to help him.
leave him and make sure to end this place after we escape, that will be our way of helping him.

>>24164640
I'm going to guess it is like wing-splaying because we are agitated.

>>24165009
I'm not sure what to do with the Alicorn with regards to making it comfortable.

I still have hope we can fix the imperfection under some of my meta theories but they are pretty far from plausible unless we find other surviving pony test subjects.

>>24165971
>fix the imperfection
I will bet you $50 that bathwaterhero will not in fact allow us to build a god.

Well, you got a facility that has or had all of the resources necessary to make an alicorn, but you don't have a genetics background. The facility staff probably kept notes on how they did it, but we don't know where those notes are or what condition they are in. Assuming we do manage to collect the necessary tools and knowledge to fix 21-03 how are we going to apply these fixes since plasmid type technology hasn't been established as cannon, having little knowledge of how the respawn tubes work and considering a team of experts was probably working on this project. So, it may be possible, may not.

On a side note, we should consider where we are going next.

>>24166215
I was thinking more in terms of super soldier than a god as like >>24166467 said they have built the imperfect subject 21.

Not sure if 21 was implying that subject 12 is his female counterpart and perfected/succesful or that it has been 12 years and Dr Green was perfect?

I vote we should just leave it where it is as I don't think Spearmint will help us move it.

I seem to think of the locations we asked about to the tour robot. Dr Greens office is the least distant in terms of floor numbers but we still don't have a path to any of them that I know of.

I wonder if we could ask the tour robot about a reactor tour, would probably serve to tell us maybe where they are in the building and if it would be incredibly stupid to go near them as an unicorn.

>>24164606
I honestly don't think Spearmint really does know what he's been through.

Remember, he's spent the last twelve years lying on the ground, presumably with nobody even trying to talk to him, being repeatedly eaten by a giant bird.

This is quite literally a living hell that neither Spearmint or ourselves could ever truly understand.

At this point, I say we give him some food and water, and a blanket if we have one, and then leave him as he asks us to.

>>24166815
I agree. Let him be, but give him some comfort.

And tell Spear that she's right, we just don't want her to be. We've been killed here more than once too, but we just want to help.
Sorry Spear.

>>24166815
Also if we ever meet Twelve, we guilt trip the hell out of her.

bump

>>24164606
I'm so sorry... I.. I just wanted to help. I'm sorry. Break down crying and hug Spearmint. Give the alicorn a blanket and leave while saying "I'm sorry I couldn't help you, but maybe one day I can." Vow to yourself that you'll fix this crazy place and save everyone! If that machine can bring you back from death, then maybe just maybe it can also fix our friend here. We just have to take over this facility and get it working right.

>>24166688
I think we need to be on the lookout for 21-12, I think that'll be the number of the "perfected" alicorn. Whatever that means. We should be on the look out for her, who knows she might have been the reason this place is as it is. Though she might not be.

"Spearmint Did you forget that I've died too!? And those robots weren't the first time either."
>Spearmint, backs down a bitand shyly looks at the ground. "Oh I'm sorry, I forgot what you've been through. I'm, I'm sorry..."
"Neither of us have any Idea what this thing has been through... but on a level think you're right.I just... It hurts... It hurts to just leave him. I want to give him a blanket or something anything to make him more comfortable..."
>"Perhaps We could take him to the nest... I guess the dead birds might Ruin it a little bit though. It's risky to go back to Ops Xi, and I don't know if it's a good idea to take him up the stairs... I don't know what to tell you. But, I'll help."

What do you do?

>>24176351
the obvious answer is that the monsters are cloned too. maybe the chick was a new creature born from the clones, but the parents will likely be recloned just because they'd all be long dead if they werent being replenished somehow.

maybe taking him to the nest he will get another chance to serve his purpose.

>>24176351
Alright, let's put him back in the nest if that's where he wants to be.

>>24176351
It's a sick and twisted thing, but he'll probably be happy if we take him to the nest. However, we should ask him if he'd like to be there, first.

Whatever happens, eave him a blanket if we have one, and some food and water, and then we continue on our trek through the facility.

>>24176382
>>24176410
>>24176412
Everyone know that this thing is skinless, right?
It'd be extremely painful.

>>24176465
True. No blanket, then.

>>24176465
It has skin just no hair and there is a lot of inflammation.

>>24176465
Then we can sweep the place we put him at and he'll be "comfortable". We should ask him if he knows where the workers slept in case they wanted to work over night. There might be a floor with bedrooms here!

>>24176465
He's a big alicorn.

>>24176351
Ask the alicorn if he'd like to be taken to the bird's nest.

>DONTCARE
"Do you know it there are any bedrooms nearby?"
>NO

>You begin to pick up the alicorn. It's very wet and a little too heavy. spearmint helps you move him.
>As the two of you are carrying him, he makes grunting noises. You can feel small twitches in it's muscles finally you bring the alicorn to the nest and set him down. You clear the area you set him down in a bit.
>You don't have a blanket but you want to leave it with something.so you wrap your gauze around his neck lightly and give him a sweet kiss on the top of his head.

What do you do?

>>24177008
thank him for his help, apologize and get moving.
lets head back to the stairwell and decide where to go next.

>>24177008
Tell him we're sorry that this is all we can do, and say goodbye.

It's time to move forward.

Pat his head gently. Good bye 21-03, my name is 11-54. If I can I'm coming back for you.

Where are we going?

>>24177085
I think we should do what this guy said >>24177022
Go to the stairwell and decide where to go from here.

>>24177008
Say goodbye to the poor creature, then head back upstairs there might be a computer or something in the bio-lab on the 17th floor, at the least we might be able to find a map or something to get to the higher floors since the stairs end around there...

>>24177085

>You head up the stairs to floor 17. you go into the Bio-testing Theta entrance. inside you find a security desk, some chairs and some odd looking cabinets.
>Spearmint taps your shoulder. "I think this is where they used to keep me."

What do you do?

>>24177399
Are you sure, Spearmint? If it is, do you know if there's anything that could help us here?

>>24177399
Ask Spearmint if she's okay with coming into this area, if she is we can look around and maybe ask if she knows anything that might help us. If not we can go back down to the lounge and get a camp set up until we decide where to head next..

>>24177399
you wanna trash the place? maybe work through some issues?

>>24177399
Odd looking cabinets? We must investigate.

"Are you sure? Is there anything useful in here?

"You wanna trash the place?"
>"I don't think I need to."
>You open the cabinets and find a cache of unused offices supplies and spare video tapes. All of them seem to be in good condition.
A steady silence sets over the room as Spearmint looks at the door to the labs. She sighs and looks at you, with an uneasy smile.

It's late, I'm going to sleep. I won't be back tomorrow because I've got some things to take care of.

>>24177792
I think we should leave the tapes here until we can find a tv and vcr. That way we'll always know where to find them and we don't lose them in case something happens to us in the future.

>>24177792
Hug Spear and ask if she wants to leave.

I so want to repurpose the robot manufacturing area to produce robots that will fight for us. That would be nice. Also with our security clearance and with power down, this might be our best chance to see if we can do that.

>>24179764
there is literally zero chance of that happening.

>>24179764
your an faget

>>24180438
>>24181018
Probably not, on the other hand we can at the vary least shut down production. That way we don't have to worry about robots cutting us down. That and there could be some good gear that are given to robots that we may be able to operate via magic. Who knows what we can do or find in that area. Honestly we should check it out.

>>24177792
Although the tapes might have useful information on them, they're worthless without a VCR and a TV. Let's leave them here until further notice.

Ask Spearmint if she's OK with going into the labs.
