Integration into a society...
You are currently the leader of all 25 TAMS.

What is the point of the group now? What do they do, and for what/who?
Everyone in your original party are all high-ranking here, since they were closest to you. You can still go out on missions with them, and you have your own ship so you can travel at any time (pretty much).

Also list the original four units stats, and if any are on a mission.
Already did that. None of them are currently on a mission, but Navaro is resting.

Go talk to bot to pass the time.

You walk up to the computer that was pretty much reserved for Bot.

>HELLO AGAIN
>I'D LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT I JUST ORDERED SEVERAL NICE CHAIRS FOR EVERYONE.
>THEY'RE BEING SHIPPED FROM THE HUMAN COLONY ON CHYRANNIA
>THEY SHOULD BE HERE IN A DAY OR TWO.
>I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THEIR ARRIVAL.
>That's lovely, Bot.
>Has anything else interesting happened?
>
>NOT REALLY.
>HMS-B HAS FOUND THAT SHE CAN TRACE TAMS26 WITH A SAMPLE OF KKRYONITTE, THOUGH.
>IT'S NEAT, REALLY.
>Joy.
>INDEED SO
>I was being sarcastic.
>OH.

What now?

Ask HMS-B about the Tracking.

You make your way down to the medical area of the station. It's the most well-kept area of the station, and for good reasons. Because of all the research that goes on in this area, it's crucial to keep everything in top working order.

You step into Hemias Besidras' office, and she glances up from the paper she seems to be studying. She pretty much lives in this two-part office, with the sleeping area well-hidden in the back wall. Besidras has always been rather withdrawn, dedicating herself to her work. She's also incredibly easy to confuse with a human, seeing as how she lacks the signature face lines of most TAMS.

You don't remember anything of that mission you went on with her, you can only remember finding her in one of the larger human colonies on Chyrannia. The only thing that told her apart from the humans were her glowing green eyes, which was originally thought to be a simple mutation (by the humans, at least).

"Oh, it's nice to see you, Ciricad," she says, standing up.

"And you, also," you reply. "Bot told me about the progress you've made in your research."

"Ah, that." Besidras smiles a bit, putting on her favorite white-rimmed glasses. She's the only TAMS who wears them, and you highly doubt she even needs them. If anything, they're more of an accessory or safety glasses than actually being used to help see. You still don't see the point of them, though. "I've been working on that for a while, actually. It was only very recently that I discovered I could use it to track TAMS26 herself! Admittedly, I doubted the possibility, but AMDS-J and Bot convinced me that it just might be possible."

"I see." You glance around the room briefly. It has clean grey walls, though they're mostly covered in papers and posters, all full of research and medical notes; diagrams and guides for her subordinates. It's fascinating, really, how she finds the room for all of that stuff. You'd assume the rest of the paperwork is kept in the rows of cabinets along the walls. It always puzzles you why she rarely uses the station's database to record things, but you'd assume one of the other medical workers would be working on recording things to the database. "Have you tested it yet?"

"Oh, of course I have! I've set up a tracking system with Bot a little bit ago, so we can keep track of everywhere Deceb Zetra goes," she tells you. "In fact, you can go ask Bot to show you it now."

"I see." You nod a bit and turn to leave.

Before you can open the door, Besidras speaks again. "I think that a name other than Bot would be good for him, by the way," she suggests.

You shrug and open the door. "I rather like the name at the moment." You walk out and quietly shut the door behind you.

You're currently in the medical bay's entrance hall. What now?


What is the point of the group now? What do they do, and for what/who?

And why do you need supplies?

And why do you need supplies?
Keeping the station in working order, fuel for the ships, ammunition for the weapons, and supplies for when non-TAMS stop at the station. There really isn't a point for the group now, admittedly, but that doesn't mean there isn't any plot anymore. There just won't be quite as many sudden occurrences.

Actually, there might be a point for the party, since you can switch to them at any time, but you can't really switch to the other TAMS.

Oh okay.
Go tell bot to bring up a screen about what's going on and such.

Also, I thought that Hemias Besidras would have glasses.

You walk back to the room with Bot.

>Hey, Bot.
>YES?
>Bring up a monitoring screen for me.
>WHYYY
>I HAVE TO TRACK MY CHAIRS
>
>Just do it.
>
>FIIIINE :(

Bot brings up the monitoring screen. It seems that the supply group has returned, and they've sent a report about an unidentified craft sighting. They've described it as sort of a mech...

As you read through the report, you realize it matches the description of the mech you encountered back on the unnamed planet below. The mech- otherwise known as Deceb Zetra.

Well?

HOLYstuffPLOTTWIST

Activate defenses, seal off hanger doors after everybody gets in, arm some people I guess.

updating now since i can't play any online games because my sister is an internet hog



You order all of the away teams back onto the station. No doubt Deceb would target any vulnerable TAMS. As soon as they're in, you issue a lockdown on the whole station. Everyone seems rather confused at the sudden emergency, but it all clears up when the station initiates an automatic red alert as explosions shake the station.

"Order all available SDCs to suit up," you order. They'll more than likely be able to hold off Zetra until you can get a few fighter pilots out there.

The head command assistant nods and relays your orders to all of the station's inhabitants. After a while, the explosions slow down (actually, you wouldn't really call them explosions, but you're at a loss for a better name), and you assume that Deceb is occupied with the fighters.

You're distracted from monitoring the station when you hear Navaro and Stojanow run in.

"What the hell is going on out there?" Navaro demands.

"TAMS26 is going on out there," you reply as you hear a short damage report:

"Hangar doors on east side are damaged. East side hangar is on lockdown. No casualties."
"Power cells on south-east side are damaged. Outer areas of south-east side are without power."
"South-east side quarters are damaged. No casualties."

"Well, it doesn't seem too bad," Stojanow muses thoughtfully.

"Yet," you mutter. "Is Xeron out there, by any chance?"

"I dunno," Navaro replies, shrugging. "Probably, seeing as how he's an SDC."

"Mm, true." you sigh and glance back at the screen. A map of the station has come up, highlighting all damaged areas of the ship.

After a while the damage reports stop coming in, instead you get reports about how the mech has supposedly taken heavy damage and retreated to the planet below.

"Well then," Stojanow says. "Should we go pay her an overdue visit?"

Battlefield 3 theme is so fitting.

Do it.

What's "DCB" stand for, anyways?

What's "DCB" stand for, anyways?
CB stood for Circuit Breaker, and she was the Triloslynne's Kkryonitte testing subject. DCB stands for Dark Circuit Breaker; it's not her official name, but it's more of a nickname seeing as how she's fallen from control.

Circuit breaker?
Electronics-based class?

Also, quick question, is the mech more like this:

This:
