Dimensional Shift CYOA - Thread 5

>>29097025
Is that a prompt or is there gonna be another post? Because we were talking to a changeling guard last thread...

>>29097087
That was supposed to be the prompt, but I can make another post if needed.

>>29097096
Maybe take replies from last thread, we had more questions for the changeling.

>>29097025
Escape successfully. Don't sweat the details. Just time skip that part.

>>29097025
> you can see a terminal on the wall, along with a steel door, presumably locked.
Is clean sweep a unicorn, I can't remember. I'm guessing we ask her if she knows the code.

"J-Just a few more questions. If everything out there is all irradiated, how are you going to get food in here to feed me?"
>"Ponies can survive for small periods of time outside of the cocoons. It wouldn't be ideal to have you out of it for longer than a day, but a few seconds to get the food in won't cause any problems."
"And I'm guessing that's the same deal with getting me into the suit?"
>"Indeed."
>Well, this changes things up a bit. If you can escape, it looks like you will only get away with mild radiation poisoning, rather than instant death.
>Do you have any more questions for the Guard, or do you want to bring up the new information with Clean after they leave?

>>29097152
She's an erf.

>>29097159
yea, lets ask clean about the code.

>>29097159
Then we get ourselves put in that suit, then we kick all the ass.

>>29097159
Ask the guard to join you in the cocoon. It's a little lonely~
Then wham! knock him out.

>>29097242
If they put us in the suit, they'll be right there to prevent us from doing anything.

"Hey, u-uh, why don't you join me in here? You guys eat love, right? I'm rather lonely and w-willing to share."
>"Oh please, only larvae would fall for such a simple trick."
>Oh, well it was worth a shot.
>You wait for the guard to leave, and bring up the information with Clean in a whisper.
"You heard them, right? We can survive out there without a suit, but not for long. We just need to find a way out of this room."
>She responds, already piecing together the conversation, "The door. I've been watching the guards go in and out, and I think I know how to figure it out. It's a four piece color code.... We could probably try and guess it, but we'd have to be quick. I have a feeling if we get too many wrong, it might alert somepony."
>You nod, at least partially understanding it.
"So, break out, crack the code, get out the door?"
>You ask, but then you realize something pretty important.
"Wait, what are we supposed to after the door? We have no clue what's out there?"
>"Hm, maybe we could see if we could find a map on the terminal after we crack the code?"
"Hopefully. If not, we might just have to wing it."
>Your whispering stops. Is there anything else you would like to bring up with her, or do you want to break out now?
>After testing the strength of the cocoon, you find that you could probably break free with a lot of effort, but it's not impossible. You guess that the bugs expected that most ponies will have given up, or would have already had all their strength drained from them.

>>29097376
Any idea on what the code is? The green cocoon might mess up the colors a bit, but if she saw that much she might have an idea on what the code might be.

>>29097376
>>29097429

"Any idea on what the code is?"
>"Not really, no. It looked like there might have been a red in there somewhere, but it might've been an orange. Couldn't really tell with the other ones."
"Damn, would've been really useful to have more."
>"Well, we have about fifteen minutes until a guard comes in to check on us, and they'll likely be coming with more than one changeling, and a suit. If we're doing this, we have to do it soon."
"Y-yeah, I get it. C'mon Shuttle, you can do this. It's only breaking out of an entire, changeling-infested space station. Can't be that hard, r-right?"
>"Shuttle, snap out of it. If you are going to go, go!"

>>29097479
What if we rush the next guard that comes gun and steal their suit?

>>29097479
Time to move!

>>29097524

>You shake your head, and steel yourself.
>After several kicks, the cocoon around you starts to crack.
>Soon, you and Clean Sweep have broken free, soaked with the goo from the cocoons.
>You both bolt to the terminal, four colored boxes present on the screen.
>Clean points out how it works, from what she's seen. "So, we need to tap the boxes to change their color. From the looks of it, there's blue, green, red, yellow and orange. We have eight tries." She says, cycling through the colors. "It'll say if we have colors in the correct positions, but it won't tell us which. It will also tell us if we have the right colors, but in the wrong positions, but again, it won't tell us which color, or where it is. Hit submit to test the current combination."

>>29097608
Red Orange Blue Green

>>29097646
This

>>29097608
Oh, mastermind. Try blue, blue, green, green.

>You try to plug in Red - Orange - Blue - Green
>The terminal responds with a message saying:
>2 correct positions, 1 correct color.

>You and Clean squeal quietly in excitement.
>"Wow, lucky first guess!" Your escapee exclaims, in a whisper.

>>29097678
Lets try red, orange, green, yellow.

"U-uh, yeah. Let me just try once more."
> [beep!] Access Granted. Door opening.
"Oh, uh, nevermind."
>The door slides open mechanically, and you faintly see some rooms in the station proper.
>You also see several blue eyes moving about in the darkness, none of them focused on you yet.
>Quickly, you spring back from the door, making sure none of them see you or Clean.
"U-uh, bugs are out there. We're going to have to be stealthy."
>Clean nods, having just looked for the map on the terminal. "No luck on the map. It's in the data. It might be on another terminal somewhere, or we can just try our luck getting to wherever the ships are stored."

.......fuck

>>29098150
Wandering around an unknown area full of bugs is very dangerous. Lets work our way in that direction while looking for a map.

Alright, I think I'm done for today. I'll be back tomorrow at noon PST (or earlier).

Was the Mastermind thingy at least somewhat fun? I'm thinking of trying to do a lot more puzzle-like things in this last part, with maybe some combat. What kind of stuff would you guys like to see?

>>29098150
We gotta focus on finding the suits first if we wanna increase our life expectancy.
