[AYE AYE, CAPTAIN.]
>Otto responds as a chime ringing over the car’s speakers signals the opening of a communications channel.
>You clear your throat and begin to speak.
“Hey there Infinity control, this is Anonymous captain of the uh…”
>As you realize you never actually named your ship your eyes shoot back and forth between Dan and Spike looking for some kind of suggestion, only for your inquiry to be met with a shrug from your two crewmates.
>Fuck it, unfortunate associations aside Challenger is still a pretty rad name.
“…Captain of The Challenger. Anyway we’d like to request emergency permission to dock. We’ve been stranded on a deserted junk planetoid and, while we managed to escape by cobbling this ship together out of spare parts, we’ve hit a few technical difficulties thanks to our vessel’s patchwork nature. I know we don’t exactly have proper clearance but if we aren’t able to make repairs and refuel we’ll be floating dead in space in a matter of hours.”
>The voice from the station crackles back over the car stereo.
> “I see, I’ll need to present your case to our commanding officer, please stand-”
>”No need lieutenant I heard the whole thing.”
>A second voice says as it cuts off the first.
>”Star command isn’t the kind of organization that would turn away a civilian in need, give them permission to dock.”
>The lieutenant sputters in protest.
>”B-but sir the station hasn’t completed its shakedown yet, the regulations clearly state…”
>”Don’t quote the book at me soldier, I wrote most of it and the regulations aren’t meant to turn away civilian ships in dire states of emergency.”
>The second voice barks as it cuts off the lieutenant for a second time before addressing you over the radio.
>”Go ahead and make your way to the docking bay captain Anonymous, I’ll be down to meet you myself shortly.”
>The commander says in a much more civil tone before the line goes dead.

“Huh, I really wasn’t expecting it to be quite that easy.”
>You say with a shrug as you spin the wheel and send the car into a gentle roll down towards the docking bay on the underside of the station’s saucer.
>”You don’t think it was maybe too easy? What if they just arrest us for violating their airspace and put us to work for the rest of our lives in the spice mines or something?”
>Dan says as he pulls his wrench out from under Spike’s seat and throws it an empty seat for ease of access in case things go south.
“One, that’s crazy talk chill out. Two, it’s not like we really have an option. We can either stop here or starve to death floating in space when we run out of fuel and end up adrift. Just leave the junk cannon in the trunk and we’ll probably be fine.”
>Dan crosses his arms and grumbles under his breath for a few seconds before finally speaking up.
>”Fine, but I’m keeping my wrench on me. There’s no way I’m letting them put me in the mines without a fight.”
>”Holy moly guys look at that.”
>Spike says as a huge white ship glides up out of a launch tube on the top of the station and cruises past you as it circles the station before zipping off into the night.
>”We need to get a ship like that.”
>Spike says, his eyes wide as the gleaming starship vanishes into the void.”
“I whole heatedly agree, but I doubt that’s the kind of thing they just give away.”
>You say to the little dragon as the challenger passes through a glowing field covering the entrance to the docking bay and you bring the car to a rolling stop between the massive launch pads clearly meant to house ships like the massive one you just saw.
>However those pads all currently stand vacant leaving nothing but the odd shuttle craft to occupy the docking bay floor where the challenger is now parked and a lone man in a green and white space suit stands waiting for you.

“Okay guys, behave yourselves.”
>You say taking a deep breath as the three of you get out of the car and go to meet the man who just pulled your bacon out of the fire.
>”Greetings gentlemen and welcome to The Infinity deep space outpost, I regret that your visit couldn’t be made under better circumstances.”
>The Commander says, holding out his hand as the three of you draw closer.
“You and me both senpai, I’m Anonymous, and this is Spike and Dan.”
>You say, introducing your motley crew as you shake the commander’s hand.
“Thanks for breaking protocol to let us drop in for repairs; we’ll try not to cause any trouble for you while we’re here.”
>”Think nothing of it; it was a minor rule about non star command personnel not being allowed on inactive stations. If you all had shown up a week later when the Infinity is fully operational the lieutenant would have let you dock no questions asked. It’s certainly nothing worth letting three people die over, and what else is Star Command for if not protecting the citizens of the galaxy.”
>The lantern jawed commander says with a grin.
“All the same we appreciate you letting us aboard.”
>You say as spike nods enthusiastically and Dan just rolls his eyes until you jab him with an elbow forcing him to nod along.
>”Like I said think nothing of it, managing your case is just what I needed to fill the time it’ll take for the station’s full crew to arrive. And before we get much further, I’m Buzz Lightyear and I’ve been put in charge of overseeing the shakedown of this outpost. Now then if you’ll follow me I’ll show you to your quarters while you’re here on the station.”
>The commander says as he strikes a heroic pose and jabs himself in the chest with his thumb before leading the three of you off down the cavernous docking bay.

“Well I’m glad we won’t be inconveniencing you…”
>You say with a smile, nodding as you follow Buzz before his words fully register in your brain.
“Wait what was that about our case?”
>”Your security case naturally.”
>Buzz says causally as you feel a weight form in the pit of your stomach.
>”Normally as unexpected guests you’d be assigned a security officer until we can determine that you aren’t Zerg agents in disguise or some other form of threat, but with the station being on a skeleton crew we only have one security officer and he’s already dealing with another unexpected visitor we had a few days ago. So I volunteered to keep tabs on you boys during your stay.”
>The three of you exchange a glance before Dan speaks up.
>”Well it’s better than being thrown in the spice mines I guess.”
>Buzz laughs slapping the little man on the back as the three of you make your way down the hall with your new babysitter.
>”I knew you boys would be good sports about it.”
>Buzz says wiping a tear from his eye as you make your way into some kind of turbolift.
>”Anyway it’s just a precaution, you boys don’t look like the type to be Zerg spies. Frankly you boys are lucky I’m the one looking after you, since the regulations say I need to stay nearby at all times you’ll be staying up in the officers’ quarters. The usual observation quarters down on the security level aren’t nearly as spacious.
>Buzz says as the lift stops letting the four of you pile out into a gleaming hallway.
>”The three of you can use these rooms during your stay and you can find me over in room 001.”
>Buzz says as he points to rooms 2 through 4 before pointing to his own.
“I imagine you three would like to rest after your ordeal, so I’ll let you get settled in. If you need anything I’ll be in my quarters.”
>Buzz says as his doors open and he leaves the three of you standing in the hall.

I can't help but notice the recap has had the Anon/ buzz subtext removed.

It's too late now. Their pairing is too pure to be stopped.

>Yen used "over yonder" in thread closing post, not for the first time
>Space related adventures and even world if it IS a world at all, still no title for it yet, sneaky dm
>Let's make friends with everyone type of adventure right now

Could it be not a coincidence? It is a Disney property after all

>>29725784
A Lord Hater summon would be pretty hype
Or maybe a Wander summon where he runs around tossing mustard and mayo sandwiches to restore HP and MP like Bambi

In case anyone missed it in last thread, we're getting some food that isn't ravioli, some space coffee, and meeting the other visitor.

>>29726796
Speaking of space ravioli I'm heading out to get lunch and then I'll be arround here for the rest of the day.

>>29728404
Noice.

>>29726796
Hey, should we try sending another letter to our favorite solar princess to see if we can reach her here, or should we just treat it as a "checking in" activity when we're on our way off-world?

>>29728465
I like the idea of checking in at the end of each world. That way Celly has the whole world to respond if she's able to.

>>29728465
I agree with >>29728644. It makes sense in character and also for a fun little thing for us to get creative on.

Are we gonna continue to gloss over the fact that Buzz mentioned "another unexpected visitor?" Let's eat and/or freshen up, take a nap if we need to, see about stocking up on fuel and supplies, and then find out about the other guest.

>>29728644
I like this idea, too. Adds a fun little summary/closing to each chapter, kinda acts like Jiminy Cricket's journal.

>>29729554
I'm pretty sure no one glossed over that, since the consensus seems to be meeting up with them.

>>29729554
I've got a good five posts worth of content by the time you hit the end of day 6 and sleep but that's still not the end of your prescribed actions. Do you all want me to go ahead and post what I have while I keep writing the rest or would you rather I wait till the whole thing is done?

>>29730230
Some fresh content would be nice. Might generate some conversation, too.

>”You know, I kind of want to be mad over the whole implicit house arrest and suspicion of terrorism deal on principle, but this is honestly the cushiest arrest I’ve ever been under so if the food’s decent I think I’m going to let it slide.”
>Dan says breaking the silence just as you were trying to figure out how to get the angry little man to let this go.
“Coming from you that’s actually a remarkably mature position.”
>You say shocked at how well Dan is taking the whole affair.
>”Yeah well, the prospect of an actual meal is a huge factor here and I reserve the right to burn this fucker to the ground if I can’t get a decent sandwich.”
>At the mention of a sandwich there’s a rumbly in Spike’s tumbly and the little dragon pipes up.
>”If you get busted over a sandwich I’m eating your share Dan.”
>he says as he clutches his stomach with a slight wince.
“Well I guess that settles it. First order of business is food.”
>You say walking over and knocking on Buzz’s door, cocking an eyebrow as the door slides open with an unquestionably star trek like swoosh.
>”Is there something I can help you boys with?”
>The lantern jawed space ranger says as he appears in the doorway.
“We were actually wondering where we could snag a bite to eat in this joint. Dan here hasn’t actually eaten anything but canned ravioli for months.”
>You say jabbing a thumb over your shoulder at the jerk behind you.
>”Well, it’s actually the night shift by station time but that shouldn’t be a problem. There’s always at least one LGM up there manning the kitchens”
>Buzz says as he leads the three of you back to the lift.
>”You boys are in for a treat, it’s cosmic chili day.”
>At the mention of cosmic chili a grin full of child-like glee creeps onto the space ranger’s face as he presses a button that launches the turbo lift into motion.
>”Are you kidding me? Cosmic chilli? Do you have space raviolis and quasar coffee too?”

>>29730591
>Dan says rolling his eyes at both the ridiculous name and Buzz’s enthusiasm.
>”Hey don’t knock the quasar coffee till you try it, and I can personally guarantee the cosmic chili is out of this world.”
>Buzz responds jovially, taking Dan’s attitude in stride so well that you legitimately can’t tell if Buzz is intentionally trying to antagonize him with that pun or if that’s just straight up how the man talks.
>Dan’s eyelid just twitches in response.
>”Oh, a punny guy huh? This isn’t over, not by a long shot.”
>Dan grumbles under his breath as he stands there seething.
“So you said this place wasn’t fully operational right? What’s the Infinity’s mission once it’s officially active?”
>You say fumbling for a topic that might keep Dan from having a meltdown in the elevator.
>”An excellent question Mr. Anonymous, let me paint you a picture.”
>Buzz says with a grin as he pops open a hatch on his suit’s forearm revealing a computer interface that begins projecting a holographic map in the air before you just as the turbolift doors open onto the station’s expansive mess hall.
>Though mess hall is an inadequate description for the space you’re currently walking through. It feels more like a upscale food court with the capacity to seat hundreds of people complete with multiple vacant restaurant like kiosks that you can only assume will serve food once the full crew arrives.
>”Ah yes here we are.”
>Buzz says as he finishes scrolling through the map to locate the Infinity for the sake of his visual aid.
>”The Infinity sits here at the edge of known, star command monitored, space.”
>The space ranger points at the station for emphasis before continuing.
>”It was constructed to serve as both a staging point for exploration missions out into unknown sectors and as a trading hub for both new civilizations we encounter, and ones that we already know here on the outer rim.”

>Buzz explains as the three of you walk behind the only lit counter in the facility into the kitchens.
>”So like I was saying earlier, you wouldn’t have had any problem landing here once the station was officially active. Hey Lenny!”
>Buzz shouts breaking away from his explanation as the four of you round a corner into the kitchen proper where a three eyed green alien, not much taller than spike spins around from a sink at the sound of the space ranger’s voice.
>”Lenny we’ve got some new guests on the station, think we can get some Chili for them?”
>The little green man nods as he hops down off his stool and begins bustling around the kitchen and in a matter of seconds he’s standing before you with four bowls of steaming cosmic chili waiting for you on a tray.
>”Enjooooooooy.”
>The bug eyed little alien drones as he hands Buzz the tray before returning to his work at the sink.
>Spike and Buzz cheerfully thank the little green man while you and Dan stand there in stunned silence.
>It’s not until the four of you are making your way to a table that you manage to rediscover your ability to speak.
“We just got served chili by a literal little green spaceman right? He wasn’t just a normal midget and I’m not just hallucinating from sleep deprivation?”
>You ask Dan under your breath and the angry little man can only nod in response as he searches for a reply and is ultimately only able to muster up.
>”Think it’s any good?”
>You just shrug as the four of you sit at the table.
“Well I guess we’re about to find out.”
>You say as the two of you pick up a spoon, meanwhile Spike and Buzz have already dug into their steaming bowls of chilly and Spike is flashing you a OKAY sign with his clawed purple hand.
>You take a bite of the chili and a burst of flavor previously unknown to mankind explodes in your mouth assaulting your tongue with the spicy fury of the stars themselves.

>”Holy shit. The alien chili just earned a pass for its goofy ass name.”
>Dan takes a brief moment to say, his eyes watering and his face beet red, before diving back into the chili.
>You on the other hand, decide to get back to the previous conversation on the Infinity’s purpose.
“While I’m thinking about It I should probably warn you about the ‘world’ we came from, if you can even call it that.”
>You say taking another bite of chili before continuing.
“It was a small planetoid that seems like it was made entirely out of junk and detritus from other worlds and the only inhabitants we were able to find there were these hostile creatures called the Heartless.”
>Buzz nods as you describe the shadows and soldiers you encountered before interjecting.
>”We’ve actually received reports of such creatures popping up on some of the worlds under star command’s protection, but I’ve never heard of them overrunning a world before.”
>”Believe me overrun is putting it mildly.”
>Dan says as he comes up for air.
>”I’ll put a flag in the system for the exploration team.”
>Buzz says as he pops open the panel on his forearm and taps at a few keys before returning to the conversation.
>The three of you regale Buzz with the story of your quest to escape the Heap but by the time the three of you reach the end of your tale Spike is practically asleep in his bowl.
>”What? I’m awake!”
>The little dragon shouts as he jerks upright only to droop back down onto his tray a few seconds later.
>”Looks like you boys have been through the wringer over the past few days, if you want to go ahead and get some rest your ship isn’t going anywhere. Repairs can wait till morning.”
>You think about insisting on getting to work immediately but you can feel the day catching up with you.
“You know what, sounds good.”
>You say, yawning as you help the drowsy dragon to his feet and the four of you make your way back down to your quarters.

>When the four of you arrive at your quarters Buzz turns to face the three of you as he opens his door.
>”I know things have been rough on you but that’s all about to turn around, you don’t have to worry about swarms of roaming heartless here on the Infinity.”
>He says with a smile before stepping through the door and leaving the three of you alone once more.
>”Goodnight guys.”
>Spike yawns as his door swooshes open and he vanishes into his quarters.
>Dan grunts an acknowledgement before following suit leaving you alone in the hallway.
>You pull out your journal as you step into your quarters but all thoughts of studying a new spell crafting formula vanish from your mind when you see the plush bed waiting for you in the officer’s suite.
“Yeah that can wait for now.”
>You say as you pull everything out of your pockets and leave it on the nightstand before heading into the adjoined bathroom.
>Looking around the room in addition to the usual amenities you also see a hatch labeled auto-launder.
“Clothes returned in one hour or less.”
>You mutter to yourself as you read the instructions on the hatch.
“Talk about space age convenience.”
>You say as you throw your sweat stained grime dust covered suit into the hatch and hop into the shower for the first time in days.
>A few minutes later a plume of steam bursts from the bathroom door and you stumble into the bed and slip effortlessly into a deep dreamless sleep.

>You yawn and rub the sleep from your eyes as gentle beeping rouses you from your sleep.
>{The time is presently 0700 hours}
>A soft mechanical voice says and the beeping resumes before you sit up in bed and the alarm automatically shuts off.
>You rub your eyes and look blearily around the room and discover a panel jutting from the wall that wasn’t there the night before.
>On said panel sits your suit, neatly pressed and folded waiting for you fresh from the auto laundry system.
“Guess we’re full home of tomorrow in here huh?”
>You say as you pick up the suit and get ready to face the day.
>A few minutes later you’re standing in the hallway and for the first time in days you don’t look like an overdressed hobo.
>Dan on the other-hand still looks like a hobo as he exits his room, albeit an unusually clean one.
>”Sweet Jesus do you know how long it’s been since I’ve seen a shower?”
>Dan says stretching as spike joins the three of you in the hallway his scales restored to their usual luster.
>Before you have a chance to greet the three of them Buzz joins you in the hallway.
>”Up and at’em boys, you ready to get your ship shipshape again?”
>Buzz asks with an enthusiasm that it is far too early for you to match.
>The best you’re able to do is a nod prompting Buzz to continue.
>”I’ll put in a work order with the and see about sending a few guys up to help with your repairs.”
>Buzz says as he pops open his communicator and puts in the order before slapping it shut and looking up at the three of you.
>”But first things first, how about breakfast?”
>He says as the three of you all nod enthusiastically and make your way back up to the mess hall which is now bustling with activity.
>It takes a few minutes but before long you’ve collected a tray of breakfast burritos from Lenny and the four of you are seated.
>”So is this the whole station’s crew?”
>Spike asks looking around the busy mess hall but Buzz only chuckles.

>”No I know I said we’re on a skeleton crew but we have significantly more hands on board than this. This is only the first shift.”
>Buzz explains as he unwraps his burrito before pausing mid explanation.
>"Oh, I meant to ask yesterday, how did you boys even end up on this ‘Heap’ in the first place?”
>Buzz asks as he swallows a mouthful of burrito.
>”Well that’s a question with more than one answer.”
>Dan says as he loads up his burrito with hot sauce
>”I found myself trapped there months ago after my world was destroyed. I’m not exactly sure how I got there, one minute I was in a burger joint and everything was going to shit and the next I’m waking up on the heap in half an abandoned restaurant.”
>Dan explains before pointing at spike.
>”The little guy on the other hand I found wandering around a few days ago. Says he and his friends fell through some kind of portal and he ended up alone on the Heap.”
“Spike and I actually knew each other before the Heap.”
>You say picking up Dan’s story.
“The portal that separated us didn’t drop me on the Heap at all. I got there using this.”
>You say setting the depleted star shard on the table.
“Unfortunately it died after one use but at least I was able to find spike again.”
>You say shooting the little dragon a thumbs up as Buzz rubs his chin thinking about what you said.
>”You know boys I wonder-”
>He starts before an alarm cuts the space ranger off and the lights in the mess hall begin flashing red.
>”That can wait for later we need to get to the bridge now!”
>Buzz says as he throws his burrito on the table and runs towards the turbolift.
>Spike wolfs down his burrito in one bite and takes off after buzz while you wrap your burrito and pocket it before following the two of them.
>Dan just follows behind at a leisurely pace still eating his burrito.
“What’s going on?”
>You say as the three of you follow Buzz into the elevator.

>”It’s the proximity alarm we’ll know more when we reach the bridge.”
>Buzz says as he slams the button on the turbolift’s console and the elevator lurches to life.
>In a matter of seconds the four of you are stepping onto the bridge as Buzz barks orders.
>”What’s the situation Lieutenant.”
>A scrawny man in a similar green and white suit snaps to attention saluting Buzz before replying.
>”Commander we have an asteroid on a trajectory that will be bringing it dangerously close to the station.”
>He explains as the three of you look out the window only to discover the asteroid that had nearly smashed the challenger the day before.
>”Oh hey that nearly hit us yesterday. I wouldn’t worry about it guys it wasn’t on a collision course for the station last time we saw it.”
>Dan says as he turns around leaning on a nearby console.
>”That may be but it doesn’t hurt to be cautious. What I want to know is why we didn’t know about this days ago.”
>Buzz replies before turning to the lieutenant.
> “Why didn’t our telemetry pick it up?”
>The lieutenant can only squirm under Buzz’s gaze.
>”I don’t know sir, we couldn’t detect it till it was practically on top of us. The only reason we know about it at all is because I happened to see it out the window just before I raised the alarm.”
>The lieutenant says sweating bullets.
>”You’ve done good ranger, take us down to yellow alert, this problem should cruise right by us soon enough.”
>Buzz says as he sits down in a large chair in the middle of the room.
>”Now as I was saying earlier.”
>Buzz turns back to the three of you as he switches gears from commanding to conversational in the blink of an eye.
>”Our other guest down on the security level mentioned being thrown through a portal as well.”
>You and Spike share a concerned look as Buzz continues.

>”Her whole case was bizarre though, we detected an energy fluctuation on one of the lower levels a few days ago and then she was just there. We were concerned Zurg had developed some kind of teleportation technology so of course we had to place her under observation. She didn’t exactly take kindly to the idea, said it was incredibly rude of us to violate a lady’s privacy like that and then kicked our security officer.”
“Oh shit.”
>You say as the realization hits you and Spike at the same time but the little dragon manages to formulate an actual question while you’re busy swearing.
>”This guest’s name wouldn’t happen to be Rarity would it?”
>Spike asks and Buzz snaps his fingers and points at the little dragon.
>”We know her, she’s one of our missing friends!”
>Spike blurts out and buzz just looks at the two of you confused.
>”I can take you guys down to verify that but she’s some kind of tiny talking unicorn, you’re a lizard man and Anon is a garden variety human. How do the three of you come from the same place?”
“Well to be fair Spike is a dragon and I’m not even from their world originally.”
>You say trying to clear things up only for Dan to chime in.
>”Hold on now you’re friends with not just a princess but unicorns too?
>Dan says as you and spike look at each other unsure about how to answer that question.
“Yeah pretty much, we’ll fill you in on the details later while we’re working on repairs but for now we need to go check on Rarity.”
>Dan seems satisfied with this response and you turn to Buzz.
“So when can we go down to the security level?

>”Well, now actually.”
>Buzz says as he looks out the window and sees the asteroid cruising safely past.
>”Cancel the yellow alert, we’re heading down to the security deck lieutenant.
>Buzz says as the four of you pile into the turbo lift.
>”I can’t believe Rarity was here the whole time.”
>Spike says bouncing around the elevator as Buzz pushes a button and the lift starts to descend.
>Suddenly the alarm blares through a hidden set of speakers as a voice bursts over the intercom.
>”ALL HANDS BRACE FOR IMPACT”
>You barely have time to say,
“Wait, what?”
>Before a concussive burst of force rips through the station knocking the four of you around the turbolift like a can of Mexican jumping beans.
>The pod screeches to a halt in the middle of the shaft and you slam your head on the control panel and you slump to the floor.
>The last thing you hear before you pass out is Dan groaning.

Still not actually done for the night. Just a little bit more to go. This was just a really good point to use as a cliff hanger while I go and get dinner.

So nice to almost be through the intro so we can get into the meat and potatoes of this world.

I hope this world is just like Alien, but with Buzz Lightyear. That looks.like what it's shaping up to be.

>>29730992
Buzz knows something? Aside from "there's many worlds", they all know that here

>>29731025
Oh yeah, the best one - after Twi, Pinks and Spike - bro... sis, whatever. Don't forget to hug and scratch the heck out of her for helping with gem-in-watches recording and PonksXAnon

>>29731057
...if we ever get to her in one piece. Even space asteroids hates us, trying to get us since we left the Heap. I will not be surprised if that's the same one trying to get to us, a magnet for heartless. I sence a resque mission of white unicorn in a place where no one can hear your scream

Yen, don't forget to give us Buzz's info and moves if he will be an active party member after that crash. And probably too early to ask, but will there be a limit of an active in fights characters in the future? KH always had limited it to 3 (4 if you count CoM system too)

>>29732082
I'll make a character sheet for buzz but you probably won't get it till tomorrow. Tonight I'm trying to get this update done before bed.

>At first all you can feel is the dull throb of pain in your forehead as your senses return but as reality slips into sharper focus you begin to notice the sound of an alarm droning in the background.
>You manage to pry open your eyes and the scene that waits for you is illuminated by the dull red glow of emergency lighting as you stagger to your feet.
>A quick glance around the tiny room reveals that you’re still in the turbolift and the others were apparently knocked unconscious as well by whatever crash that was that rocked the station and triggered the lift’s emergency breaks.
>You crouch down and try to shake Spike awake, fortunately for you the dragon responds almost immediately.

“Sorry little buddy no pancakes today.”

“Well my best guess is something hit the station.”

“Hang on let me get Dan.”

>”Okay let’s get out of here.”
>He says prying open the doors as you and Buzz pull from opposite ends.
>Before you know it the three of you are clambering up out of the elevator into a hallway that looks very different from the ones you’ve seen so far.
>Apart from the odd flickering fluorescent bulb the hallway is also lit by red emergency lights, but it isn’t the lighting that’s transformed this hallway.
>What’s different is the thick black residue that seems to be growing in patches on the floor, dripping from the ceiling and even up the walls.
>In some places it seems to coat entire sections of hallway drowning out the lights as the slimy black ooze covers them completely.
>”How long were we out?”
>Dan asks as the four of you stare down the hall, and after taking a closer look you see little black motes of ash or dust floating around the hall.

>“What do you mean asteroid? I saw it cruise right past us with my own eyes.”
>Buzz replies tersely as he quickly looks up from his coms to scan the hallway.
>”Well sir that’s the thing, it all started with that asteroid. You see shortly after you left it changed course. And not a slight course correction either sir it pulled a near 180 degree turn and smashed directly into the Infinity.”
“What does he mean change course, It’s just an asteroid right?”
>You ask as Buzz holds up a finger asking you to wait.
>”What do you mean where it all started?”
>The lieutenant’s voice is trembling when he comes back on the radio.
>”Something is wrong with the asteroid Sir. This horrible black substance has been growing from the breach and that’s not the worst of it. I’ve had to barricade the bridge against th-”
>A crash cuts off the lieutenant and you hear a wet gurgling roar, like the creature making the noise is sporting a sucking chest wound.
>“AAAAHHHHHHHHHH OH GOD THEY’RE HERE”
>You can hear him screaming followed by the sound of blaster fire and more of the gurgling wet roars until finally the line goes dead.
>The four of you look at each other stunned, unsure what to make of what you just heard.

“Well, shit.”


Far Side of Infinity

>>29732244
And with those double dubs our intro is concluded and our first Disney world is well and truly begun.

Question is, what are you all going to do now?

>>29732257
Well shit, indeed.

Sounds like the bridge could use some backup. But going to help them would mean not going to the security level to make sure Rarara is safe.

I think Buzz said that Rarity has her own guard. Is he able to contact the guard and find out their status?

>>29732522
It's not like we physically able to get to upper levels while elevators are shut down. Only search for Rarara and try to warn her and her guard what exactly happened (we could try and contact AUTO, but it's not like he have any way of helping), and try not to get eaten by ayylien heartlesses

If Buzz going to complain about civilians in danger zone just show him a keyblade. Also, Dan and Spike probably don't have their weapons?

>>29732577
Dan should still have his wrench, unless he changed his mind about bringing it with him, and Spike can handle hand-to-hand while we make our way back to AUTO.

As for priorities? Assist Rarity and her security officer, make sure AUTO is okay, then regain control over the bridge. If may be so bold as to assume, the bridge most likely holds the boss for this segment.

Just throwing this out there, but our mantra for this entire world should be, "Don't use Fire an a limited oxygen environemnt."

Say it with me everyone.

What is the status of our Powerline summon gem? Is it with us, and do we know how to use it or what it does?

>>29732762
With us and have no idea how it works

>>29732757
So it's "able to power machines" thunder and "piercing everything aside from walls" blizzard time

>>29730978
>”I’ll put in a work order with the and see about sending a few guys up to help with your repairs.”

Is there some word missing between the "the" and the "and", or is that supposed to be something like "them"?

>>29732786
It was supposed to say with the LGM. But it got cut out to make the charecter limit on the post. Problem is I should have cut the "with the" too in order for the sentence to work.

>>29732577
I should point out that while yes the elevator is out, you are not on the security level. That's quite a ways down the station on the opposite side of the impact site. So up or down you are going to need to find a way to get to other levels. So don't rule out going to the bridge as an option.

And you are correct in thinking Spike has no weapon. dan does at least have his wrench though.

>>29733129
Oh.

Then we must search for the safe ways up and down, probably by asking the only guy here familiar with station structure, going into elevator shaft or by THUNDER some generators. And only after contacting with Rarara and Auto to learn more about what is going on above and below decide where to go. Leaving Rarity at that moment will be dickish, but leaving lieutenant, repairing team and others to their demise if we are able to help is not nice too. Should learn first who is in much more serious troubles, leutenant and many civilians or security officer and magic marshmallow. And I don't think that separating into two teams is a good idea

>>29733189
Considering how the Lieutenant's comm literally died off with him screaming, I don't think there's much of him left.

If we're debating whether or not to go to Rarara or the Asteroid site, I suppose it's a question of what we want to lose/gain. If we go to Rarity first, then there's probably gonna be way more Heartless on board than usual. If we go after the Asteroid first, then something might occur to Rarity while we're preoccupied.

If we don't split up, then we'll have to choose, since those two points are in almost completely different directions.

>>29733469
I can see I'm going to have to make you cats a map of the station.

>>29733503
That might help.

>>29733189
Party splitting is almost 100% guaranteed to be a bad idea, especially with an unknown level of danger from the heartless. Personally I'm feeling getting Spike an improvised weapon and heading to Rarity first, she might be useful in a fight, and even if not we should rescue folks without defenses and formal training first.

>>29733503
I can tell you right now we're probably also going to want to know the path to the medbay and armory if they're operational on this station, Yen, just to save you the trouble of drawing up two maps.

>>29732244
That's some cool fuckin' art for the true title, too. Rock on, Namine and Xion.

sorry fell asleep when I got home, but I'm awake again now. Map up soon followed by buzz character sheet.

>>29734284
Okay so here is the map of the station that buzz can produce for you. It's not super detailed but it's enough to give you an idea of where you want to go and what options you have available. Unfortunately Buzz doesn't have access to the situation on the ground post impact so this map does not have information on damage sustained or what's going on in the various sections. However it will update as you go, or if you can figure out how to reactivate internal sensors your map will become a lot more responsive to current events.

>>29736793
So we're closer to the bridge, then. With Security being completely opposite of our position, securing the Bridge might be a wise move so we can access the station-wide comms.

221KB, 700x901px

>>29736793
And have a Buzz character sheet as well.

Looks like our immediate plan is to try and head up to the bridge? how do we want to try and get there? Climb the turbo lift shaft, something that you know where it is, or try and track down a Jefferies Tube?

>>29737267
I assume there isn't an emergency staircase? Stupid futuristic backpedaling.

I worry about the immense drop damage we'd suffer if we decided to climb the rope and failed a Strength check, so looking for an access tunnel would be helpful, I think.

>>29737377
I'd honestly be more worried about the lift being compromised than falling but I agree access is probably the way to go.

>>29737267
And don't forget an attempts to contact security officer that is guarding Rarara and AUTO

>>29737377
Hang on, Buzz can fly. Is his Rocket Pack strong enough to carry everyone up/down the lift shaft if we hang on to him?

>>29738294
Just Anon? Sure.
Anon and Spike? Definitely.
All three at once? I doubt it.

Unless you're suggesting to ferry back and forth through the turbolift shaft? In which case, that poses it's own risks, since teammates might be stranded on vastly different floors if something goes south.

>>29738723
Yeah I can't imagine dan would do very well if he got ambushed on his own.

>>29738723
Two Rocket Packs was enough to lift up a giant alien monster, so capacity is not a problem here. But fire coming from it probably is

>>29739903
Literally first 10 minutes of Buzz Lightyear "movie", and more of such moments in tv series. So he can lift us in theory. But it's an open fire in really closed space of elevator shaft while carrying three persons so it's still a bad option here if Dicemaid wants to have "fun" with us

>>29736793
Is the star our current location, then? That'd make sense. Working off of that, if the way is unimpeded, going up to the bridge would be a relatively short trip if we wanted to see what we could do there. After that, I'd advocate for a quick stop at the armory for Spike and maybe Dan (I'm assuming Buzz wouldn't need much more than what he's got, but obviously if he wanted more firepower he could grab it). Then, I think getting suits for the places the hull is breached will be next; gonna be hard to rescue Rarara if we're busy floating dead in space. I'm assuming we're the only other civvies on the ship besides her, so we can at most give the quarters a once-over on our way down, the crew can hopefully handle themselves.

So, I'm figuring bridge, armory, environment control, security. Thoughts, guys? And I'm betting we could get some magic ideas if we stopped in to gravimetrics, but that's probably lower priority than saving lives.

>>29740038
If we could get a comm link to that security officer, we might be able to cut the middle man and meet halfway.

>>29740038
Looks like the bridge it is. I'll get to work on it soon as I get home.

>You pinch the bridge of your nose and squeeze your eyes shut while you try to assemble some kind of a plan of action.
>The problem is, that there are so many unknowns about the current situation that an effective plan is all but impossible.

>”Now if we can find a way to tap into the Infinity’s sensors I can get us a map that can actually tell us something about the current situation. The best place to do that is either going to be up here at the bridge, or down in the engineering level.”
>Buzz says as he points to the two sections on the map.
“Looks like the bridge is probably the closest, plus that lets us help the lieutenant if we can. Question is, how do we get there with the lifts down?”
>You ask examining the map as you try to figure out a way to reach your destination.
>”Why don’t we just climb the elevator shaft, that should take us straight there right?”
>Buzz shakes his head as he walks over to the turbolift.
>”The lift isn’t engineered with anything we can use as traction. Then again we don’t really need to use the lift.”
>Buzz says as he kicks a panel near the turbolift entrance causing it to pop out of place in the wall and slide to the side with a pneumatic hiss.
>”The access shafts run parallel to the lift. Provided it isn’t blocked we can get back to the bridge without much trouble.”

>Spike backs away from the hatch and Buzz crouches down and jumps into the access tunnel.
>”Holy shit man what are you doing!”
>Dan shouts expecting Buzz to fall to his death only for the space ranger to hang there in midair.
>”The access tunnels don’t have artificial gravity in place. Normally you would grab one of these handles and be pulled to your destination but in case of emergency they can still be used as handholds to push off of.”
>Buzz says pointing to the handles before he pulls himself out of the way to make room for the next person.
“I’m not going to lie, after childhood full of star trek I was legit expecting to find a ladder in here we were going to need to climb.”
>You say as you hop into the access shaft, your stomach turning as you suddenly find yourself floating weightlessly.
>As you pull yourself out of the way for Spike you realize the tunnel is more spacious than it looked from the outside.
>There’s enough room for two people to pass going opposite directions along with enough extra clearance to drag the odd tool kit or replacement component.
>Spike flails his arms wildly as the sensation of weightlessness grips him, but Buzz grabs the little dragon and guides him over to a handle to make room for Dan as he glides in and the panel hisses shut.
>Unlike the hall outside the shaft isn’t lit by dull red emergency lights, Instead it’s lit by a series of white arrows pointing up along handles on the right side of the shaft and down on the left.

This sounds spooky but kinda fishy. Is that thing just hide inside his body and controlling it? Urgh, gross. What Buzz's Star Command Manual says about such situations?

>>29744507
Photon Bomb or try out Blizzard to pierce that thing and Buzz shoot the heck out of it with laser, probably in legs to make it less mobile. Dan and Spike not much of a use without ranged weapons and I'm not feeling like letting lieutenant body get close to us is a good idea

I second Photon Bomb at the open wound. If Buzz's laser deals Light damage, it can be aimed at the open wound too.
And let's not forget to investigate the shit out of this new enemy.

For Dan and Spike, they could throw those chairs at it. I agree that it would be a good idea for everyone to keep their distance right now.

Then again, I doubt we're going to be getting out of this without at least one ex-person exploding into meaty giblets via chestburster, so it may be best to get the inevitable vom-fest out of the way now so we can harden the team against it.

>>29745072
By Sora and his three pals (Jiminy including), to restore mess in their heads that she kinda caused in CoM. "Thanks, Namine"

>>29744497
Also I only now noticed that Lieutenant "morphed" into that thing in less than two posts. If we went to other places before going to Bridge his body would probably completely turned into heartless-ish abnomination before our arrival

>>29736793
I do have to ask, though. Who in the world puts the ship security on the ass end of a station? Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to be where Engineering or Communications is?

>>29745085
Oh, right. Fun fact, for some reason I thought Sora remembered. I guess I misinterpreted this part back then:
https://youtu.be/_vocDalCY8c?t=9m7s

freezing them whole will do us a lot better of removing the threat unless the goop also gave the lieutenant super strength or regenerative powers.
Also should we make a note if shit goes soiuth that fire magic and spikes breadth is a last resort?

>>29745164
Well, Officer's Quarters near them, and Security near all civilians

>>29745234
If movies about Aliens and Things teached us anything, fire is the best option to deal with cosmic horrors. But first that horror must be removed from poor pal body. Also poor Spike, a kid from marshmallow lands and witnessing... this

>>29745100
Well, it's also possible that this is one of those types that waits for victims and only expends energy when there's something nearby. If it hadn't made that gurgling sound, we probably would've gotten a slash to the back before we knew we were even in battle.

>>29745165
I got the impression that, in general, a Nobody only "existed" so long as somebody knew and remembered them. You could kill them, as first seen in CoM, but it was the act of being witnessed that made them real, and Namine and Roxas existed because they witnessed each other. When they became part of Sora and Kairi again, they were essentially forgotten by virtue of the fact that their whole selves' existence overwrote their own. Then again, the way Nobodies work is kinda confusing to me anyway, so I could be way off.

>>29745234
Fire + limited oxygen = bad, I agree. I have to wonder, too, if zombie-ism is something that only happens to the dead (Necromorphs) or whether they can try to infect a living host (T-virus)?

>>29745252
The lieutenant might be a good candidate to try different things out on then, yeah; better to try and find a way now to remove Darkness Goop than when we're surrounded. Might want to do an investigation check while we're at it to see what there is in the room to give Spike or Dan a little more range. I feel bad for Spike too, but he's also our tank; we'll need to make sure he's okay fighting in these conditions, don't want him getting shell-shocked in the middle of a fight when we can't help him.

>>29745274
That's one of the main problems with zombie fighting: fighting something that looks alive, but clearly isn't.

Investigation would be nice, especially since there might be an emergency axe or something that Spike could use.

But isn't our Fire spell magic-based, where it wouldn't interact with the oxygen? Because if it isn't, then wouldn't Thunder be bad as well, considering how lightning reacts to oxygen?

>>29744497

This is cool, but I'll confess I don't get Touhou at all. All I know is that it's a bullet hell game and every character is broken as shit on SaltyBet; are there a lot of parallels between it and KH, or is this like the pony mods for Skyrim where the connection is tenuous at best?

>>29747399
Touhou shares the trait of crossing over with everything that MLP has. These two vids were basic crossover stuff with MMD.

>>29745164
Well I put security near the civilian section of the station for ease of access like >>29745252 said but I was also thinking that the brig shouldn't be near the vital systems like engineering and comms.

>”I can’t let civilians like you put yourselves in harm’s way, let me handle this.”
>Buzz says stepping between the three of you and the late lieutenant as you hear capacitors in his suit charging and a flickering red light begins to shine on his right gauntlet.
>But in a surprising show of speed for a shambling reanimated corpse the lieutenant leaps across the room slashing at Buzz before he can so much as raise his arm.
>Buzz goes tumbling to the ground as the lieutenant tries to drive its dripping black claw through the space ranger’s armor.
“Blizzard!”
>You shout pointing the keyblade at the lieutenant and a cone of blistering cold and frost burst out of the key as its question mark shaped bit glows a pale blue.
>As the frigid air blasts across the heartless the black sludge coating the lieutenant’s body crackles and pops as it freezes before your subzero assault.
>”Get fucked!”
>Dan shouts as he winds up with his wrench and slams the heavy chunk of steel into the slow moving chilled heartless knocking it away from Buzz and sending it tumbling across the room before helping the space ranger to his feet.
>”Next time you treat me like a child I’m letting it eat you.”
>Dan says jabbing his finger angrily in the spaceman’s direction before turning his attention back towards the flailing remains of the lieutenant.
>”Go get it Spike, finish it off!”

>Dan’s satisfied grin fades instantly as the lieutenant stands again, his head dangling from his neck at an unnatural angle as it begins shambling your way again as the frost begins to slowly disperse.
>”Son of a bi-“
>Dan is cut off again by a high pitched whine as the capacitors in Buzz’s suit hit full capacity and a beam of red light lances out of the blaster mounted on the ranger’s wrist.
>The brilliant red light slices through the ooze coating the lieutenant’s arm and melts a hole in his armor before burning though the lifeless flesh underneath.
>And while Buzz doesn’t quite succeed in slicing the arm completely off, by the time the crimson beam of light flickers out the lieutenant’s arm is hanging uselessly at his side and the black goo that coated it is dripping into a puddle on the floor.
>”My apologies little man, I’ll let you take point in the future.”
>Buzz says with a smile patting Dan on the shoulder as the heartless pulls its head upright and looks at the smoking wound in its shoulder before bellowing at the four of you with a gurgling roar.

Anon 42 hp 60mp
Spike 50 hp 30mp
Dan 40hp
Buzz 48hp suit power cells 85%

>>29748252
Two questions: What's the deal with the Power Cells? What's the status on the Lieutenant?

>>29748378
the power cells are basically buzz's suit's capacity to do things besides life support. It does recharge over time and can be rapidly charged at certain terminals but in a battle it's a more or less finite resource.

As for the Lieutenant, scan is still showing he has zero hp.

I think now is about the time for that Investigate check to tell what's going on here.

>>29748459
Sounds good to me. Should keep trying to delimb and freeze this Heartless until it leaves the suit.

>>29748677
It looked like the goop recoiled pretty good from buzz's laser. So I'm figuring it's either weak to fire or light.

>>29749743
I thought we were forgoing Fire, since we're in a low oxygen environment or something.

>>29749762
I the environmental systems may be down but we're also in a massive space station. I think we might be able to spare a fire spell. Or at least a heat blade if not a full fire spell.

>>29749762
If we don't want to do fire we could try a photon bomb directly in the home buzz blew in its shoulder. That would be pretty rad.

>>29748252
Sad thing we don't have sharp keyblades yet. Must investigate the heck out of it and scan surrounding for anything useful for Spike and Dan to use

>>29750565
I don't think that the lack of an edge will hold us back. Keyblades seem to be selectively sharp as the situation requires.

>>29751173
Doesn't our keyblade have a built-in darkness repeller, basically? Is there any chance that our melee attack is enough to bust this thing loose from the lieutenant, even without a proper sharp edge?

>>29748219
It looks like the "Lieutenant" is first no matter what we pick, so acting defensively might be helpful. Investigation might help too.

Dan and Spike should definitely aim for the legs to knock it down.

Who's ready to have the entire series on a single console?

>>29751713
Maybe in a year or so, after my wallet recovers from Persona 5.

>>29751724
speaking of P5 what are the odds that we straight up go on hiatus when it drops?

>>29752052
I'd say slim to none my dude.

>>29752372
Agreed, wouldn't dream of slowing down on either game.

>>29750071
This might be a valid point, combine dark-banishing powers of the Keyblade with good old-fashioned zombie-murdering fire and we could probably do some damage without expending too much oxygen in the process. In fact, if the source of the flame is magic, does it consume oxygen? Would that be something we might know or reason out with an Arcana check, maybe?

>>29752836
An arcana check would give you an idea for sure, you might even figure it out outright depending on how well you roll.

>>29753455
So we know what we're doing with spike and dan but what's the move for Anon? It looks like we have a split between Blizzard Fire and photon bomb

>>29753846
Tried Blizzard already, can try other things. I vote for photon bomb first (if laser of Buzz does fire damage, then this thing is surery weak to it, time to try out light)

>>29751724
I'm in the same boat as you friend, won't be getting 1.5 + 2.5 because the Persona hype train bled my wallet dry

>>29753846
Random rolled Photon Bomb, so let's go with this.

>>29754111
Holy Shit! Trips Confirmed It! Photon Bombs Away!

>>29754111
>>29754296
Trips do indeed confirm, I'll get right on it.

>>29754344
Also maybe an Arcana check on whether Fire consumes oxygen (and just generally if it's a good idea to use on the ship), and a room investigation for Spike to find a better improv weapon (can we do both of those in one round? If not, save the investigate 'til next turn.)

Moar updates after that fight probably?

Damn, hard to think of anything that will not slow down main game too much (i.e. "something that can be done at work"), and yet...

Maybe - for meta, sillyness and to be in spirit of KH games - design all keyblades that we've "missed" and would get for literally anything from thin air if that was a real game and we've started with a blade? For everything: beating Heap and Ponyville, helping Shy with puppies and totally a seeker of darkness Davenport with sales, saving Twi from unversed squad, catapulting parasprites with Ponka and etc? Or do a sidestory short in which everything went exactly as we all thought first and Ponka-Sora with keyblade would went on adventures to save her beloved Non-Kairi from jelly Twi-ku full of DARKNESS? Or awake Aqua's link within our keyblade just for everyones reaction in game to our change? Or just give players something in main game as a useful memento or ability\summon\drive\etc (put a joke about brand new medals in KHuX every time to celebrate every single event), probably not right in the middle of kicking that blob and not too meta itself

>>29759367
more than one update a day is just my standard operating goal, albeit one I've failed to meet so far. It hardly feels right calling that a celebration of 15 years of kingdom hearts.

>>29759458
I'd like to see some of the Keyblade ideas you can cook up for the situations that >>29759367 mentioned. It's a fun, silly thing that shouldn't take too long.

Yeah sure, I'll do some doodling once I finish this fight and you all start deciding. where you want to go next on the station. Fight itself is already done, just dealing with some plot talk with buzz before I can post.

>>29760397
I feel torn between External Communications and the Medbay. If we do the Comms first, it'll give Woody and Rarara more time to reach us. On the other hand, we have 1 slightly used Aspirin bottle to split between 4 people. Getting supplies seems more imperative at this point.

Quite frankly, our first choice should be getting external coms back up to check on Rarity and Woody. Having the whole party will make the supply runs and various other excursions much easier. Also the longer we wait, the more difficult the fight to get them is going to be longer.

What is it with you, Anon? What you screamin' for? Every five minutes there's somethin', a Heartless attack or somethin'. I'm leaving. Go down to med bay or somethin'. Bzzzzz!

for those of you waiting until after persona five to buy 1.5+2.5 don't bother purchasing it at all. The 60 frames per second update in the PS4 version ruined the games. Not only are the physics broken in several places thanks for the change, The increased pacing kills the atmosphere in many of the cut scenes.

Can we perform a quick arcane check just get the fire conundrum out of the way? Logically fire needs a source to burn from like wood or fibers, so naturally the presence of magical fire would mean it inherently feeds on magical energy. A dense mass of magic would be similar a ball of yarn set ablaze, a steady stream of magic would produce would be similar to spraying gas in a general direction or creating a quick intense blaze similar to burning paper.

>>29760471
It's still have enough healing pills to use by every character two times today. And looking at map, External Communications and Medical bay at the same floor while Armory is closer to our problem, so Armory will be our last stop in any case (preferably to stop there with Rarity in our team. What do you think is her weapon going to be?). So I agree with >>29760576 , let's go to fully covered in DARKNESS gak Communication first, if only we will not find any wounded person, alien or LGM along the way

Tried to take these ideas and run with them a little, sorry they're on notebook paper.

I wasn't really thinking when I drew the junkyard one, the guard should probably be angled so it's parallel to the magnet, rather than perpendicular.

Probably should have made the spikes on the dog collar shorter, also I shamelessly stole the fire hydrant grip idea.

I can never figure out what to do for magic blade ideas that don't just have every element glued on somewhere.

>>29759367
Might attempt a couple others based on the parasprite fight and Davenport being the ultimate evil for no reason. I have no idea how to turn a quill and heavy furniture into a weapon though.

>>29763742
See I had this idea for the triple threat where the blade itself was made of ice the guard lightning and the grip fire with an unversed symbol for the bit. I just couldn't get it to look right.

Hope you guys are ready for the Square ally of the adventure.

so it looks like you're still kind of split on the med-bay vs comms as your starting point. If we don't have a tie breaker in the next twenty minutes or so I'll have anon leave the decision to Spike Dan and Buzz so i can get going for the night.

>>29764925
I'll drop my Medbay vote for Comms, then. Here's hoping the Aspirin can handle us for at least two fights.

>>29765014
Seconded, comms to get a feel for the urgency of reaching Rares and let her know we're here and on the way to her, if she and Woody can hold out.

>>29764925
Don't we still have that breakfast burrito on us from earlier?

>>29765534
Yeah but it's several hours old by now and preserved by nothing but its foil wrapping. Don't know how useful it will be.

So on the way down to comms i belive you wanted to
A. Figure out the status of fire spells.
and perhaps
B.Check on spike and make sure he's doing okay.

“I think the first thing we ought to do is get some semblance of communication up so we can get in contact with the security level and see how Woody and Rarity are holding out. With any luck we might be able to start coordinating with them to take back the station.”
>You say looking to Dan and Spike for input.

>And yet, there’s a hint of sadness behind that smile and you can’t help but feel like Spike is still troubled about something.

>Buzz thinks for a second before responding.

>You ask and Buzz wracks his brain trying to figure out an alternative path.
>”Well we could head for medical, they should have some oxygen masks that will get you through no problem.”
>Buzz says pointing to the opposite end of the hall which is still clear of the black growth and hazy cloud of particulate.
>”Or we could take a detour through deep space telemetry. It’s a subsection of the communications deck that has separate access to the primary comms array. It may not be as fast as going straight there, but it should get us there faster than heading all the way to medical and doubling back.”
>Buzz says pointing to a clear branching hallway that forks just before the edge of the slime’s foothold.

>What do you want to do?
A. Burn your way through
B. Change plans and head to medical first
C. Take a detour through DST and press on to the communications array

>>29766926
I say head through DST and get comms back online before heading over to medical for supplies. And avoid using Fire for anything, since we've got Spike's somewhat more controllable flame breath and Buzz's laser to rely on until we can figure out what's going on with life support.

>>29766926
Medical would make Dan gloat hard, but anything else's worth more than suffocating. There's also the undiscussed issue of the growth spreading, which could lead to more trouble down the line.

I agree that Fire's probably not worth the worry of wasting oxygen, unless we want to be surgically meticulous and slow with it, which we probably don't have time for.

DST looks to be our safest bet, since that'll take less time and at least get the one thing on this side done with. The only real problem is the growth getting into DST after we make it to the comms, which would require us to burn it without the oxygen masks in Medical.

>>29766926
Light the bitch up, or take the detour through DST.
Spike's on tilt and could potentially get worse, the longer we put off getting to Dress-horse.
Rarity's our friend and given the kind of enemy we're facing here, I greatly dislike leaving her alone, despite how capable she might be.

My only worry is that given how quickly that first little shit went for the vents to escape, makes me think that they might be using it for traveling and/or causing it to clog.

>>29766926
One more for DST, let's try to get through this with as little asphyxiation as possible. Comms are still out first goal, Aspirin should probably get us through at least that much before we have to get to the medbay.

So are we in the Movie or TV version of Star Command?

>>29767408
>>29767459
>>29767537
>>29768363
Looks like we're leaning pretty unanimously towards a trip through deep space telemetry. I'll get started on that path shortly.

>>29769074
I kinda want to see what happens with the fire but I'm pretty clearly out voted here.

>>29769646
You might get your chance if the growth blocks out exit route, like I'm partially worrying will happen.

>>29769701
so what kind of shit do you all think is waiting for us in deep space telemetry. Because it's obviously not just going to be a walk in the space park to our destination.

>>29769916
Assuming the Necrotic Ooze from before caught any other victims, I could see that popping up. As seen with AUTO, the Heartless can also infect machinery, so we might see more of those.

>>29770135
After the way it went straight for the face I'm kind of worried that we might be seeing facehugger variants on the necrotic ooze.

>>29769916
The Ooze seems to be parasitic, so I'm betting against machine infection, personally. That doesn't mean, though, that we won't see some darkness-amalgamated enemies. I'm betting on something glass cannon caster-y in Telemetry though, physically frail but with tough defenses. Then again, there might not be a fight at all, it might be something more puzzle-like.

So, ultimately, what's our further plan? Probably best to think of some stuff to do directly after this work quick and efficiently to put this place back together. I'm thinking something along the lines of;

1. Get comms up
2. Obtain Rarara, new party member get
3. Access medical to prepare for further conflict.
4. See what's up with life support
5. ???
6. Move on from there / profit.

>>29771998
Point 2 is gonna be under Medical, at least. Life Support and Engineering should be targeted hopefully before we all meet up.

>>29772170
>>29771998
Unfortunately, our plan is going to need to change as circumstances arise. Getting to Rarity is definitely top priority, but depending on how fast the oxygen depletes and how dangerous the route to her is, we might need to divert to the armory and/or environmental. And the urgency of rescuing our marshmallow friend will also determine how many side stops we can afford to make on our way to her.

That said, if Rarity is okay with her and Woody holding off any threats for a while, I'd say medical, armory, Rara, then life support. All ultimately dependent on the sitrep though.

Anon 42/42 HP 55 MP

Dan 40/40 HP
Buzz 48/49HP suit power cells 93%

Zurg Agent 53/60 HP

>>29772701
>superiority dice

Could you explain what that is?

Also, I'd start with a Thunder Bulwark for Dan, considering how he has to be close to hit the Agent.

>>29772780
It's the fighter's resource system in 5th edition. I've been doing some thinking about spike and having mana exclusively for his lance and how it doesn't really fit with his role as fighter.

For the purposes of this game superiority dice are a resource you spend to use Spike's special moves like cleave and rocket charge and will allow you to add a d8 to your damage roll when using one of these special abilities. These dice regenerate automatically after a short rest and can be restored by items like ethers and elixirs.

To clarify this also means that spike's cleave is no longer limited to when he kills an enemy.

>>29772780
Spike is in the same boat, but I agree with a bulwark for Dan, he's squishier.

>>29772874
In reading the description for Superiority dice, I'm kind of confused, can Spike still do reasonable things like trying to disarm someone without spending a die? Either way, getting that gun out of the agent's hand and into Dan's should probably be top priority.

Dan, for this turn, might just want to do as much damage as his wrench will allow, preferably to this dude's head. He seems like he can be reasoned with, so I'm thinking once we rough him up some we might be able to strike a deal where he doesn't get the everloving shit kicked out of him in exchange for the scoop on what Zurg's trying to do.

>>29773002
Anyone can try and disarm an enemy, it's going to come down to an opposed strength or dexterity check as you try and take the weapon. What's different about disarming strike and superiority dice is that not only are you more likely to disarm your target, you deal damage while doing it.

>>29773002
This. He likely has info about what's going on, so let's get him to drop his gun again.

I remember Spike having some sort of bonus to stealth on his character sheet. If that's true, maybe he will have an easier time disarming this guy.

>>29773063
As a rule for stealth, if the enemy doesn't notice you you have advantage on whatever action you try to do. So if you spend a turn having spike sneak out of sight you'd have advantage on your disarm attempt next turn. That said your stealth bonus wouldn't apply to just trying to take the gun right now.

>>29773063
Disarming him is all well and good but I think we're all missing the real question here. Who gets the gun once we confiscate it?

>>29773316
Since Dan is at least armed lets hit spike up with the blaster

>>29773727
>Give a space blaster not to "engineer" or man who knows how they works but to a small kiddo without experience of holding guns and from a world without such things and all (literal medieval cannon of Ponka aside) because magic, why you even need guns. Also recoil

I'm not really sure about that...

Use of a superiority die to deal damage on the agent and disarm him so Dan has a cool Laser Pistol sounds like the best course of action.

>>29773951
I think I can get behind that plan. What do we want buzz to do in the meantime? I assume we don't want him to blow an arm off like the lieutenant, so maybe a low intensity laser shot. Or maybe some kind of persuasion check to get this dude to stand down?

>>29763742
More keyblades that nobody asked for. I'm actually way more proud of how the Davenport one came out, should be colored in true edgelord black and red but I lack any crayons to scribble on my drawings with. Also I know it's a chair and not a sofa, but I couldn't come up with a way to make a sofa-blade look intimidating.

I can't really come up with a good way to jam instruments together into a key shape while also incorporating the parasprites and also baked goods. I suppose you could make the"staff" of the clef the blade and make the swirl and a bass clef into the guard, maybe use the parasprite jaws as the bit, but it still feels glued together rather than a cohesive weapon.

>>29774326
He has a lower Charisma than we do, but it looks like he does get bonuses to Intimidate and Persuasion.

>>29774375
Speaking of what buzz gets, his stats are pretty ballin, and on top of that he gets a shit load of abilities that he's specialized in.

>>29775242
World-specifics tend to start better than permanent allies, then lag behind as the levels go up.

>>29775437
Even so he seems a bit over the top

>>29776015
I know what you mean but the guy is like the number one dude in an entire elite space force. I felt like it didn't really make sense if his stats didn't reflect that.

And like >>29775437 said world specific allies tend to get all the extra toys.

Back up with you.

>”You don’t want to do that son, I know the lies Zurg has been feeding you but his crusade against the galaxy isn’t worth dying over. Just put the pistol down and we’ll see to it that you survive this crisis and are treated humanely when we restore order to the station.”
>Buzz says putting his hands up in a gesture of good faith as he tries to talk the spy down.
>But even as an outsider you can tell that Buzzes words sound like they came directly out of some field manual and the spy certainly doesn’t seem to be buying into it.
>”Yeah and I’ll bet every Zurgian citizen who’s heard that line is still humanely rotting in a prison cell somewhere.”
>The infiltrator sneers as he takes aim at Buzz and squeezes the trigger on his plasma pistol.
>Buzz dives out of the way as an ear splitting boom erupts from the pistol, but the bolt of plasma never comes.
>Instead what follows is a scream tearing from the throat of the infiltrator as plasma backwash sears his hand and the barrel of his pistol explodes, leaving it a mangled mass of twisted metal.
>Amazingly though the infiltrator manages to hold onto the gun, though you suspect that it may be because his glove has melted to the grip.
>”Oh shit, I’m not so sure I want that gun anymore guys.”
>Dan says as spike charges forward, bounding up onto a nearby chair before leaping off and delivering a devastating haymaker directly to the back of the infiltrator’s incinerated hand.
>The man howls in agony as the warped gun tears free of his grip and goes skittering across the floor.

>This looks pretty wrapped up, but just in case the spy has something else up his sleeve you call on the keyblade and shoot a bolt of electricity Dan’s way.
>The bolt blossoms on impact into the familiar protective electrostatic field of a thunder bulwark as the angry little man walks over to the infiltrator.
>”Jesus spike you didn’t need to go for the burned hand.”
>Dan says as his wrench collides squarely with the spy’s ribcage.
>”Me? What about you? You’re the one hitting him with a wrench!”
>Spike shouts flabbergasted as the spy crumples to the ground.
>”Yeah, but he was resisting arrest.”
>Dan says leaving Spike at a loss for words as the little dragon sputters angrily.
>”Okay that’s enough.”
>Buzz says as he gets up from behind his impromptu cover and walks over to where Dan and Spike are arguing.
>”I don’t think he’s going to be doing much resisting anymore.”
>The space range says as he steps between the two breaking up the fight before it can really start.
>”Now then, that offer of humane treatment is still open, we can even get that hand of yours taken care of.”
>Buzz says to the Infiltrator as he staggers to his feet and spits at the four of you with hate in his eyes.
>”I’ll never surrender to Star Command’s dogs.”
>He sneers as he pulls a knife from his jumpsuit that begins emitting a high pitched hum as he flips a switch on the hilt.

>>29772701
So I thought this was a typo, but does Buzz have 49 or 59 HP? Because it does say 59 on the character sheet.

Typo, one my dumb ass copy and pasted twice.

>>29778819
I don't think it'd be wise to clash with the Vibroknife, unless the wrench has cortosis weave it'll probably be cleaved in two.

Defensive mode on Dan and Spike would do us well, with Anon doing another Bulwark on Spike and Buzz shooting his knife hand to hopefully disarm him.

Unless that'll actually dis-arm him, in which case, maybe try out that wing-eject attack.

>>29778895
I think we might be able to set buzz's phaser to stun but I'm game for the wing plan. sounds more fun.

>>29778764
Well, with such agents it's obvious now why Zurg still haven't conquered universe

>>29778819
Just shoot him with Blizzard to freeze in place or Bulwark Spike while Buzz pacify that meanie. He is not much of a threat how without range attacks and with half of hp

Test bump

>>29780047
And we're good. Welp, that was a fun April Fool's experience. Time to die for the night.

Well... >>>/mlpol/ sure was a thing. So knows, maybe some of them will stick around? Could be fun.

>>29778819
This dude is just not having a good day. I'd say now is the time for some ranged fun, Blizzard his ass and let Buzz try to disarm the knife. Dan and Spike should probably be on defense, maybe reposition so they get an attack of opportunity if he tries to charge Buzz or Anon. If we manage to disarm him though, might as well just dogpile him.

>>29779392
Does this mean the short charge, or Buzz's bonus wing opening attack? Or both? The charge actually might let Buzz disarm this schmuck easier what with the bonus it gives.

Does Buzz's suit have a button we can hit to make him melee involuntarily? Or is that only in the toy version?

>>29780528
It is indeed on his suit

>>29780528
Oh fuck you mean the judo chop button? That would be hilarious but even if he did that would burn an action on one character to make buzz take an action he could do on his own.

>>29781399
But that means two actions for Buzz, no? Sadly Anon is not aware of that judo button

>>29782059
As long as our ally Buzz is aware, that's close enough imo.

morning everyone, that was a crazy day yesterday but now we're back to our regularly scheduled program. And it looks like we're going for a blizzard with Anon and a disarm from buzz while ya boys Dan and spike bum rush this fool.

>>29785081
Sounds good. Buzz's lasers can stun, right?

>>29785287
Yeah, he can crank the power down and do non-lethal damage.

>>29782364
>Spoiler
>He doesn't know that /mlpol/ is still active as a secret board like /trash/

Dumb combo ideas:

Falling with Style
>Buzz scoops up Spike and launches skyward, dropping him at the apex of his launch, before diving for a point behind the enemy. Spike kicks on his lance and shoots at the enemy, pulling up so that all the momentum pointed down turns into a hyper-accelerated forward charge, shoving them on a collision course with Buzz's own flight path, the force of their meeting driving the enemy onto the lance's point.

No One Can Hear You Scream
>Dan charges straight at the enemy, swinging wildly as Buzz fires a series of trick shots around the room. Each shot ricochets off of Dan's wrench, the blasts aimed at disarming or immobilizing the enemy, before Dan's swing finally connects, the force (and probably location) of the blow stunning the enemy.

Set Phasers to Overkill
>Anon and Buzz stand side by side, keyblade and gauntlet pointed in tandem at each enemy as Buzz shoots lasers while Anon fires lightning bolts. For the final target, Anon instead overcharges Buzz's capacitors, allowing them to fire a massive blast of energy (or maybe a continuous stream of light as opposed to discrete bursts?)

I dunno, just some ideas to work off of.

>The light on Buzz’s wrist starts to glow as his suit’s capacitors begin to emit their own low hum.
>”Once I take care of the knife Get ready to restr-“
>Buzz’s attempts to coordinate with the three of you are cut short as the Zurg spy lunges at the space ranger stabbing him in the stomach.
>The high frequency blade slips through Buzz’s suit like butter and the knife’s high pitched whine pitches down into a low buzzing sound as it’s restrained by the suit.
>”Sorry, what was it you were going to take care of again you fascist pig?”
>The infiltrator sneers before trying to twist the blade only to fail as the armor holds the humming knife in place.
>”I’m taking care of you !”
>Buzz shouts as he pops his clear domed helmet into place and bashes the Infiltrator in the nose with a well-timed head-butt.
>Just as the glass dome smashes into the bridge of the spy’s nose Buzz grabs the Infiltrator’s wrist and twists it, forcing him to lose his grip on the blade as he goes stumbling backwards and collides with the ruined instrument panel.
>”What do you think you’re doing?”
>The spy shouts as Buzz yanks the knife from his stomach and tosses it aside, sending it clattering across the floor as its high frequency whine resumes.
>”Exactly what I said I would, I’m taking you in.”

>Buzz grunts as his suit hisses at the site of his wound and a pair of panels slide into place restoring the atmospheric seal on his armor.
“Don’t worry Buzz we’ll take it from here. Blizzard!”
>You shout as you run forward, your keyblade glowing a cold pale blue as you call on your magical reserves and hurl a howling cone of ice and sleet in the spy’s direction.
>As a sheet of ice accumulates on the spy’s body Spike rushes in to capitalize on the opening you’ve created.
>”Stab our buddy will ya!”
>Spike growls angrily as he lunges at the spy trying to grab onto his leg only for the spy to manage to kick the dragon away despite his frosty coating.
>But as he’s fending off spike, the spy completely fails to notice Dan charging at him from behind.
>”I’ve had just about enough of you space communists or whatever the hell you are fucking with us today.”
>Dan says as he slips his arms under the semi-frozen spy’s and yanks them up into a full nelson.
>”Let’s see you pull one of those fancy knives now.”
>Dan growls as he pulls the spy away from the control panel into the center of the room.
>”Good take down Dan.”
>Buzz groans as he clutches his stomach and you run over to try to help him.
“Are you all right Buzz? Do we need to turn back and head for medical for you?”
>The concern obvious in your voice as the space ranger stumbles and you grab him in an attempt to keep him upright.
>”I’ll be fine for now, my suit has enough onboard medical equipment to keep me stable for a few hours.”
>Buzz says grimacing as he takes a deep breath steadies himself.
>”It’s not exactly what you’d call comfortable though.”
>He says with a grunt before pulling out a pair of cuffs and walking over to Dan.

>”Now then, I hope you’re finally going to come quietly for us.”
>Buzz says as pops open the handcuffs.
>”NEVER I’LL NEVER LET YOU TA- ARHGRAHGHJFK!”
>Buzz stops short as the spy starts screaming angrily at the space ranger thrashing weakly against Dan’s grip when suddenly the thrashing turns into seizing and the spy begins foaming at the mouth as his iris’s flash a pale gold before his eyes go completely black.
“Uh Dan I think you might want to let go of him.”
>You say as he struggles to keep hold.
>”Why? We’ve almost got the spastic fucker cuffed.”
>Dan grunts through clenched teeth as he just barely succeeds in keeping the writhing spy contained.
“Because neither one of us bothered to ask why that stuff was wrapped around his face...”
>You say as the spy starts hacking up thick black chunks of black goo and a pair of thick black blades begin tearing their way out through the base of the spy’s hands.
>”Holy shit!”
>Dan shouts as he lets go of the former spy and tries to jump away.
>Unfortunately Dan isn’t quite fast enough as the spy turned heartless seems to pull its arm out of its socket in order to slash at the angry little man as he makes his escape.
>Thanks to the awkward angle Dan is only hit with the blunt edge of the claw but the force of the blow is still enough to knock him of balance and send him tumbling to the floor as he tries to reunite with the group.
>The former agent pops its arm back into place as the thick black sludge continues to pour down its mouth and coat its chest where it coagulates into a thick black coating with a bright red heartless crest in the center.

Anon 42/42 HP 45 MP

Former Zurg Agent 0/60 HP

>>29787736
So Zurg is allowing his own men to be infected with the Heartless. A few things we might want to keep in mind:

>The Necrotic Ooze from last time tried to facehug us.
>The Agent was facehugged by the Heartless Sludge.
>The Agent has turned into a Necromoprh like the Lieutenant.

Whatever we do, DO NOT LET THAT THING GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO OUR FACES.

>>29787736
Buzz should probably pop a pill this turn. Half health isn't a good place to be.

>>29787776
Not sure about allowing, clearly it happened after the outbreak maybe it was just a matter of the spy being jumped before he could escape.

That said lets absolutely try and avoid the ol facehug

>>29787776
And not only that, but this particular "Necroheart" is fully morphed unlike lieutenant. Cutting out blob that is inside of him is going to be much harder (if even possible). Let's try at least use that vibro-knife of his for that too, looks like it's really good at piercing stuff

Bump with wip and spoilers. I'll update spreadsheets tomorrow

So is there a way to taser the guy? Since we haven't used shock spells on the ooze, I'm hoping that it won't like being zapped. Also if that dosen't work well, maybe we could try using the vibroknife to see if sonic damage strongly effects it in anyway.

>>29788184
Nice. Looking forward to the finished product.

>>29788527
Not sure how electricity will effect the ooze in there but the body its inhabiting might convulse real good.

>>29788527
Would you even call a vibro blade sonic damage? The high frequency vibrations are more about armor piercing than actual sound damage.

>>29790210
With that thing sitting inside of him, piersing is good too. Even better to try and kill blob with piersing attacks while it's inside of his body so meanie couldn't escape or leap on anyone

>>29788184
Dank, bro. Is it going to have everyone in it, as we start finding them? Regardless, I think that's going to be amazing when it's done.

>>29787736
I'm beginning to get an idea about this stuff, but if I'm right there's nothing we can do to stop this dude short of kicking the literal crud out of him. Seems like last time we just beat up its shell until it left, or maybe the light from Photon Bomb scared it out? I'd say we should try a physical attack this time, maybe empowered with Thunder. Aim for the Heartless symbol, that's presumably part of the creature itself.

I think these things might be parasites in the traditional sense, where they feed off of negative emotions; when we get to the med bay, we should grab some sedatives and see if putting someone unconscious is enough to draw the Necromorph out. I also kind of wonder if we can figure out a way to, through magic or keyblade techniques, forcibly extract it?

Assuming Spike knows how to use it, sounds like a good plan for now.

Are we just assuming that the Agent's impossible to save, or was that confirmed?
