[SEMI-50x40] TRILOS IV - SPACE? YOU TELL ME [ACT 1]

Do a victory dance!

[carolcat]

methodically clear every room

do it like seal teams but have the landmate blow up the door instead

The only door in here is the one you came in from, and it happens to be wide open.

[carolcat]

You hear some yelling coming from the other side of the room and spot Bot waving from one of the in-tact Kkryonitte tanks.

"Hey, Axio, do you think we destroyed enough stuff yet?" he yells over to you.

You look around the facility, and it looks pretty totaled. "I think you," you respond. "Hey, where's Lia?"

"She's over here with me," Bot replies, and Lia climbs up to stand next to him.

You nod and open up a communication link. "This is standby team Alyr to Command, our mission is complete and we are awaiting pick-up."

"Roger that." As soon as the robotic voice finishes it's sentence, the simulation shuts off and you find yourself in the training rooms again.

"Well, that certainly went well," Stojanow comments as he shifts out of landmate. You and Navaro go ahead and do the same since there really isn't any point to stay in it.

"Too bad the actual station will probably be nothing like that," Navaro mutters.

"Hey, it's a start. Stojanow, how much time is left?"

"Th-"

Stojanow is cut off as one of the simulation workers speak up. "Three hours, but they've located an early cargo shipment and they're sending TNMS1 out on that."

"Well then, I guess we should head to our ship," you sigh.

Bot walks over to you, looking worried. "Are you sure this'll all work out?"

"I can't guarantee it, but we'll hope. Good luck," you tell him as you follow him out.

You're in a cloaked ship approaching the Shy'ryx station. You're pretty much going to be orbiting the station until Bot sends out a request, which shouldn't take too long (though it would be remarkable if he completed the whole mission on his own).

Bot has been sending out regular status updates so that you can keep track of him, but it seems like he hasn't moved much in a while.

What will you do?

[Conan]

be bot

or wait for update

[carolcat]

>YOU ARE NOW BOT

You are a box. You are a box in a room full of other non-living boxes. Though that would be implying that a robot could be a living thing, so you're currently a non-living box in a small mountain range of other non-living boxes. You would like to stop being a box, but it just so happens that there's a box on top of you. Either that box is trying to hug you or it just really hates you; though that would be like saying a non-living box could have emotions (which, as it happens to be, you've yet to meet a box with emotions).

Anyways, as far as you can tell, the room is empty of non-box lifeforms, so you don't think anyone would mind if you push a few boxes off of box cliffs.

[Conan]

stop thinking about boxes and try to pass the time


namely by thinking of the actual mission

[Katadeus]

Funny, I'm doing a project on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep

[carolcat]

Well, you know that you should probably start thinking of a way to get on with the mission somehow. You could probably push a few boxes off of yourself while transforming back to normal, but if they're too heavy, they could crush you.

You're pulled out of your thoughts as you hear a loud sound- probably some sort of machinery- followed by the weight being lifted from your top. Well, that takes care of that, but it also tells you that you can't shift out yet. Well, you could, but that would require killing everyone.

But hey, you don't want to kvetch too much. What will you do?

[masterockets]

Wait there like a good non-living box

[carolcat]

You've been waiting for the past hour, and let's be honest- you're getting pretty bored. But you suppose you might as well keep waiting.

Stack blocks to get to the exit, then progress to the next level

You aren't controlling the machine, but that does sound like a fun game.

[carolcat]

You don't think you ha-

You're suddenly lifted from where you sit, jerked rudely into the air, and then lowered to the ground.

"What's in this one?" you hear a voice ask.

"I dunno," another replies. "Open it up and see."

This might not go well. You could try killing them all, but that might not end very well, especially if one has control over the crane. But that would probably be better than being torn apart.
