MindHive [Thread finished, now planning for Quest to Save Kompressor Redux]

[tber123]

wear the cover of another vending machine to take and go incognito

find body of non-salted water to wash blood off in

Proceeding to murder nearest vending machine so I can wear it's skin.


VendOS lunges at a nearby Combine Vending Machine and violently murders it!


Nobody will ever suspect me. Now to splash around on the flooded floor and wash off that blood.

"whenever the popo shows up" (whether it's this turn or the next or whenever) "act inconspicuous and when they don't expect it shoot as many bottles as necessary at them, try aiming for the crotch when possible"

I don't have enough water bottles to shoot at them.

Pull a trigger on a monday.

I have no guns.

ABSORB THOSE ARMS AND LEGS ON THE HUMANS AND USE THE MINERALS IN THEM TO CREATE MECHANICAL LEGS.
YOU ARE ONE STEP CLOSER TO GETTING TO JOSHUA.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK

Absorbing this human will take some time. Estimated 10 minutes....

...There we go! I now have arms and legs suitable for enhancing my abilities.

spend all your money on a payphone to call joshua
tell him that we love him and we need him back

I can't find any payphones, but I do see this guy's cell phone.

VendOS tries to call Joshua, but VendOS doesn't even know his phone number.


Maybe I could use this "Locator" app on this guy's phone?

Guy's Phone: "PLEASE WAIT. LOCATING 'JOSHUA'...."
Guy's Phone: "JOSHUA FOUND. HE IS... RIGHT NEAR YOU."


AHA!


Joshua is screaming frantically at a back alley doctor. The back alley doctor is panicking.
Joshua: "GET IT OFF ME! GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD! YOU HAVE TO HELP ME! ITS INSIDE ME! THEY'RE CONTROLLING MY EVERY MOVE! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! THEY MAKE ME DO THINGS!"
Doctor: "S-Stay the forget back, you crackhead! I don't got your fix!



Joshua: "P-PLEASE! HEEEELLLP!"
Doctor: "Just hold still while I call the cops on your crazy ass!"
Joshua: "NO! GET IT OFF ME!"
Doctor: "If you don't shove off right now, I'll blow your brains out all over this wall! Get out NOW!"

I think I could scavenge a few more water bottles out of the other vending machines before I move in to capture Joshua.

Set water cost to 0.50$ to bait in more humans

slaps Marios
"You dumbstuff, this is supposed to be profitable and affordable because we are 'non-profit' you moron."

But if they drink my salt water, they'll get thirstier and order more salt water.

Using your new legs, run away while saying "forget the police" with your built in speaker.

Can't do that. Joshua is in need of capturing.

It is 9:55 AM on Tuesday, December 20. Until Joshua is captured, you will be controlling a vending machine
VendOS is MODERATELY DAMAGED and wants to RECAPTURE JOSHUA

Joshua has COMPLETELY GONE APEstuff and is TRYING TO GET HIS CHIP REMOVED
Back Alley Doctor is armed with a Colt Python .357 and ready to shoot Joshua.


Police will be arriving to investigate reports of a rogue vending machine in 10 minutes.

we aren't in communication with Joshua.

[Space1255]

Tackle the doctor. Attempt communication with Joshua

[bigcapitalbaka]

Guys, you are all missing one thing.
We don't have any sound devices to create talking.
We must find a walkie-talkie or cell phone or speaker and assimilate it in order to gain the ability to communicate with humans.
This will be integral to our mission of recovering Joshua.
After the capture of Joshua we will create a cloning facility to create an army of Joshua's controlled by an army of us.
The ultimate plan. The Grand Plan.

I have successfully scavenged the dead vending machine. I feel healthier, AND I've scavenged some more water bottles for ammo. Estimated time to complete this task: About five minutes.

Time to find Joshua.


VendOS moves in to capture Joshua, but Joshua's argument with the Back Alley Doctor escalates into violence!
Joshua: "ITS INSIDE ME! GET IT OUT OF ME OR I'LL NEVER LEAVE!"
Back Alley Doctor: "I warned you! Now choke on THIS!"
VendOS: "JOSHUA NO."



*BANG*
Back Alley Doctor fires the Colt Python at Joshua, striking the torso twice!
Joshua's left lung is blasted!
Joshua is bleeding!
Joshua whips out a AR2 Pulse Rifle... Wait, how the hell did he get that? What the hell happened to Joshua after he killed Koschei, anyways?



Back Alley Doctor gets blasted with the AR2 Pulse Rifle!
Back Alley Doctor cries out one last time.



It is really dark out here. Is it really 9:55 AM?
PARDON THE MISTAKE, FORUMERS. IT'S ACTUALLY 9 PM, NOT 9 AM.
I hear SIRENS in the general vicinity and the shouts of a police team. I have refrained from approaching Joshua because he is heavily unstable AND he's heavily armed. I cannot leave Joshua alone, as he would most likely fire upon the police officers, causing them to call in a SWAT Team that will kill him.

It is 9:55 PM on Tuesday, December 20. Until Joshua is captured, you will be controlling a vending machine
VendOS is UNDAMAGED and wants to RECAPTURE JOSHUA
