The goal is SURVIVAL. We don't know what they're sending us up against. It's not out of the question for them to give us no hostiles and simply try to stay alive in a hostile environment.
OR they might be planning surgical orbital bombardments.

If you're afraid of losing Ahmed then send in Dominic, but remember that these pods are in different parts of the world.

Use your massive girth and use that barrel as leverage or a paddle damn it. Your close enough to grab it. Probably. You could probably just exploit a physics engine glitches and manage it anyway.
>>
No. 281771 ID: a41aaf

If the slime is thick, it is likely dense. If the slime is dense, anything in it will be pretty buoyant (and there maybe additional dilatant properties). If you're quick, you should be able to run across the barrels without them sinking.

Of course, if it's Thixotropic or psuedoplastic...

Does the door pop off or can it be shot off? That might work as a paddle. Then a really crazy idea would be to propel ourselves on the door using the minigun (given that it has less mass and drag.)

Break the door off and use it as a paddle.

If that doesn't work... Try jumping across the remaining barrels to get to shore.

this

also, we're in a toxic atmosphere. Congregation is critical. Here's somethign more important:
You need to know what the chem pool is made of.

Use your pod door as a paddle... Or find something organic and see what the chemicals do to it.

Door paddle is better though

There's some on your lip, don't swallow it.

You can do it!

Slightly problematical. Probe the ledge to see if it might even hold. Then push the gun over first. After which you're going to get down one your belly and crawl over it, hoping that if you distrubute your weight somewhat evenly then it won't collapse.

Without risking your balance, stomp the obviously weakened ledge so it will crumble.

Use a very small amount of amo to shoot a small indent on either side of the ledge. Place the pole between the new ruts. Carefully lowery yourself into the rock formation that is left after the crumbling. Use your knees to 'walk' across the slope while holding on to the pole.

Your weight will be on the rocks and your balance on the pole.

DEFEND YOURSELF

Your pole is your weapon. Violently jab upwards, try to push yourself back some. The ledge is sturdy for the time being, focus on getting some distance. Retrieving your weapon can come once these suckers are dealt with.

Jam the pole upwards along the rockface, between the 'thing's mass and the surface it's attached too. If anything the flesh should be softer there along the underside...

AND you may be able to flip the beast out into the toxin pool using your body as a leverage device (you will have to press your body against the stone with the pole on the outside.)

Suddenly realize your true weapon is your mighty foot. Remember your fight and loss with Falcon? Did he teach you the Falcon punch in return for making such an exciting fight and becoming your best friend a few sequels later? That's another weapon added to your repertoire. Then reach through the forth wall and steal your authors sunglasses. Win the game.

Stomp his genitalia, or whatever the closest analog is, just to keep him stunned, then acquire knife and 'rinse off' the blade... Thoroughly.

I'd suggest actually ventilating the veins in the interior thigh, has this lovely gravitational drain effect, high pressure, and the benefit of being essentially unable to tourniquet.

Run away! Look at those two mysterious tube things, they are probably a monster. Last time something slightly shifted it was a monster, and those two tubes look like they have the capacity to shift slightly.

Looks like standard tube things instead of a monster. If it is just standard tube things, it looks like the only thing we can make a bridge out of, so pull it out. I pray it's made of stable material. There should be plenty of gravel or some rocks to work as weights to keep the tubes from turning, or try your best to make some V-ish cut grooves in the rock to place it in.

A few questions to help us understand the exact nature of the situation:

What consistency is the goop?

Are you carrying anything other than the flamethrower and your clothing?

Before you pulled up the pipe, did it feel like it was resting on the bottom? Or was the end that was against the rock supporting most of the weight?

How agile are you?

...hmm. I think there's only one safe option here. Remove your shirt and wrap your arms and hands with it, then maneuver the pipe to go across the muck.

Then you throw your backpack across first, and tightrope walk over the pipe. You'll get some muck on your shoes but that should be fine.

Oh and use that other thing to wedge the pipe so it doesn't roll all over the place.

No seriously, these people are monstrous. If Solars win this motherfucking war the REPRIMANDS ARE GOING TO BE SO FIERCE! All right, try your best to scrape most of the goo off with various rock edges around the cavern. It's harder and inefficient than cloth but it'll get the job done.

If you go with the burning idea, move the pipes away from the main body of sludge. This way if the chemical are flammable then the fire wont jump. Also, if the sludge is extreme corrosive/acidic, burning it will not necessarily take away this property as it burns. This would make for dangerous breathing hazard.
>>

Hmm...

If you were to climb back up to the upper ledge, could you brace the bottom (goopy) end of the pole on the lower ledge and use it to sorta-pole-vault across the gap to the other side?

And possibly rip off one of your sleeves if necessary to protect your hands from the pole and/or goop.

Lean the pole onto the top ledge, then climb up and maneuver the pole so that you can basically pole vault across like that. Note that you will want to only touch the top of it... A bit of balance is required but it's only for a short time and your momentum should help a lot.

Do throw the backpack over first though.

I agree with aiming the throw at the lower ledge, but I wonder if we wouldn't have more luck making it if we went down to the lower ledge on our side first? Looks to me like the trajectory could be cutting a bit short from up where we are now.

Or we could be better off just moving (lifting?) the backpack over by the end of the pipe instead, although it might possibly be a little too heavy for that sort of thing.

Set the tank down gently and light him up. You should have plenty of range without having to sneak up, especially with the height difference. With any luck you won't cook his gun. Might lose the wrench but the same for trying to knock him into the goo.

Guilder's gun is probably just as genelocked as any astranian one.

Start firing the flamethrower while short-hopping off the ledge down next to the poor marshmallow and possibly sweeping the flame swathe upwards. Complicated but doable

First off, they CAPTURED Rose after she TRIED TO KILL ONE OF THEM. The announcer said slavery, and that is exactly what an Astranian like him would face.
Second, repatriation is more a more lucrative business. The pay is similar, but it makes you popular with the group in question instead of causing the sort of hostility slavers face.
Third, Oken is Astranian, not human.
Fourth, there is no safe food or water on this planet. Dehydration will kill everybody who doesn't find a solution.

Fifth, the alternative to relying on the mercy of Guilders is relying on the mercy of Astranians.

Actually, wait, wait, just ran an overlay on these. We CAN'T make the symbol on the side, what the hell? That configuration simply doesn't seem possible with these lenses.

We CAN however make the symbol from the stairs outside by combining only B and C!

Can someone doublecheck this using transparencies? The comparative sizes for these damn things don't seem to even line for me.

Why do I imagine that the Astranians were the ones to destroy all this?

I can't see a reason why the bot would have had the lenses in a self-destructive alignment, unless each alignment only requires one lens, but that would be a profoundly retarded design.

I'd actually be temped to just rebuild the whole damn shrine out of spite, rather than destroy the guilder statue? I mean, all they are likely do is just drop us on some other shitty world, or into another arena, how is our death here any worse than elsewhere?

I think they need a better offer than just living another week for their mad games, then again Midori and Janine are unlikely to stand even a chance here, separated as we all are.

I'd not trust him. If you DO trust him:

>>
No. 299851 ID: 980ade

Interesting... I do not really trust him. But it seems there isn't really an another way to save all of the humans in your group.

As for which statue to shoot that's difficult. Obilisks have fallen so that would be a good reason. Guilders would be a good guess to since now they are slavers, pirates and generally other rogue-ish jobs.

Also just for the record, for me the ones that are the farthest from the ideals and gloriousness of the Alliance would be Astrians themselves. You know for destroying this shrine and the planet (Because I suppose they did it to easily crush some resistane. And destroying a shrine that commemorates the founding of the alliance isn't really glorious)

Also playing with other creatures lives, stealing technology from other alliance members (I heard rumors about it from the others, not really sure of it), wanting to kill their own champion and a lot of other things also isn't glorious.

So if you do decide to break that astrian statue you might as well tell them they have become mindless beasts obsessed with blood and malice rather than proud warriors and conquerors.

And from the sound if what it said, it's trapped here too, stuck on an impossible task forever.

Even if they do come and get you out of here as promised, you'll probably just be sent into another deathgame afterwards. We need to regroup, and find allies, especially ones that know what the hell is going on.

Also: It might be true that he just counts on you to destroy a statue so he might point that you are a savage beast that doesn't care dor culture. But even so, your arguments would then make an even better point for the audience. Sure the humans made some incredibly bad things during the conflict... but that doesn't mean one can not point it out to the other side that both of them could make the fight a lot more "clean".

robot: "in the early days of the alliance always were the Titus oppressed for their lack of quality, even onto the end of the first Cult War. Despite this abuse the Titus held no ill will to their fellow races and in fact would strive to impress them through sheer effort and toil. It was the Astranians who took notice that through countless losses in the cult war they had a developing loyalty, a determination and an endurance and the Astranians were indeed impressed. When the Obilisk began to fade and it fell to the Astranians to guide the future of the Alliance, they looked beyond the races of power and rewarded the Titus for their long service by appointing them as the new successor race and authority above all save for the Astranians themselves . Astranian scholars and scientists were dispatched to Daztrenian to teach the Titud of science and developement, through these new concepts mixed with centuries old Titus tradition the Commerce Guilds were formed bringing about a golden age that would last nearly two hundred years."

If we are to destroy the statue this is likely the last juncture to do so, and if we do we should fire the weapon at the Guilder statue, while standing next to the Astranian one. At least if we died due to 'lol furry lies' the irony would be acceptable in the destruction of the true 'race of shame.'

However, I'm doubtful about the use of even getting off of this hellhole, to fall back into the frying pan of another arena. The only reason I even consider it is for the possibility of more recovery time for the badly wounded girls.

Ahmed: "honestly you should be happy Mr. Announcer, with all this history talk you now can pass this off as educational programming!"

Announcer: " . . . Very well, Pinkskin. enjoy your history lesson."

robot: " . . . for reasons still unknown, discontent began to develop, and the loyalty and courage that the Titus had maintained for long began to falter. and as the years press forward the discontent grew in into a seething hatred for the Alliance they once adored. Astranian diplomats tried to ease the aggression but the now blood thirsty Titus refused to see reason, and it quickly became apparent that this turmoil would end in but one way. Inevitably and predictably war broke out when the Titus assaulted the Astranian Colony Kalarscia. Astranian Commanders had long foreseen this bold move and had developed new weapons and technology to easily defeat their former ally. The Titus were out matched from the very beginning but despite the futility they fought on, for what goal remains a mystery as their madness and irrational hate would never end. The Titus Guilds would continue to pour soldiers into the fray even as their forces where pushed back to the Titus home world, Astranians had no desire to conquer the Guild Worlds and instead established a blockade in the desperate hope that the in time the Titus would recover from their mental ailments. the Astranians would come to regret this mercy . . .

Looks like the local weather is going to be hot and toxic with a 75% chance of meteor showers.

As for the torch, I figure it's probably in the correct configuration anyhow, but it seems we don't plan on dancing for out little puppet master in the sky.

the Pinkskin moves into position

Ahmed: "Announcer! if you do not verify the parts are in the right order then YOU will be destroying the Astranian statue through inaction!"

the pinkskin is answered by silence

Ahmed: " . . . robot, finish your history"

robot: "what happened next has been subject to much debate and disagreement among Astranian researchers. What is known is that several months after the blockade was formed all communication with central command was lost. When investigation forces finally arrived they discovered the blockade fleet had been completely annihilated and the world itself had become a toxic wasteland, the agents performed a lengthy investigation, information classified . the final verdict was that the Titus as a civilization was no more, what remained of it's people somehow twisted themselves into cyborg warmachines living on as parasites to the Alliance."

robot: "Solar, you asked me what happened to this world, I have told you all I can, but in the end I suppose I do not truly know the answer myself."

They made this world what it is now in order to cover up their acts of genocide. The survivors of that genocide became the Guilders.

Ahmed, we must find evidence of the alliance's crimes. That is our mission.

I don't know... I mean there's also reason to suspect that the Obilisk, whatever that is, is the correct one to destroy, as the robot did say "When the Obilisk began to fade"

“It is obvious that the Titus were the instruments of their demise, and have fallen from the glory that is your Alliance. However I cannot help but wonder why they started the war, as even the most psychotic of people have reasons for what they do.”
“Though I doubt you have information on the subject Robot, what was the nature of the oppression that they suffered; and can you give me an estimation on how much of Astranian history is classified? It sounds to me that your race is trying to forget the horrors of the wars you have fought, while this Pinkskin knows very little about your history, there is a saying that has been proven time and time again: ”Those who forget their mistakes are destined to repeat them over and over again”.
Shoot the Guilder statue, and then start walking towards the city.

Destroy all three. He didn't say that we only got one shot, neither did he say that ONLY one of the three was the right one. They could have all fallen in their own way.

Along a similar vein, it could be argued that none of them were directly responsible, and therefore all of the statues should be left standing.

alright, can you apologize to the robot for destroying his statues and that for an Astranian, he's the only respectable one you've met so far.

Okay, maybe that's not true, but well let's make the message hit home.

Thank that robot, leave the Torch, and walk away from the monument. If questioned by the announcer, say "If I'm going to destroy the guilty party, I'm going to need a bigger bomb".

Idunno, I feel like its ACB.

And I wouldn't destroy any statues. How can we destroy any of them "trough inaction"? Is HE going to blast one of them? Fault's on him then.

I agree, don't destroy any of the statues.

Take the torch if nobody stops you, though. Should you learn how to use it, it would be a valuable tool. For the record, I believe that each lens is a single function, and that the torch would explode because we're using more than one.

A- Create Light (it looks like rays of light)
B- Destroying Rocks (looks to be an explosion)
C- Start Fires (it's the odd man out, and the only one that could vaguely resemble fire, at least in my eyes)

So if we decide to try it, I don't think we should use more than one lens.

the Pinkskin can feel his skin burn as the searing hot beam flies forth shattering the Statue ahead

Ahmed: "AAAAARGH!"

after which he throws aside the steaming burnt husk of the torch and falls to his knees in pain.

after a few minutes of silence the Announcer speaks to him

Announcer: "well done Pinkskin you've earned your life this day. The collection ships will be arriving shortly."

Spend the remaining time conversing with the robot. Remember that these robots are sentient beings, and while they may not have any moral drive to help you they also have no hatred for you either.
A human having pleasant conversation with an Astranian being, even a second-class one like a robot, would have an effect on the viewers.

"This shrine, loath that I had to harm it, must have been here before this planet suffered so. How long have you been its guardian? What have you seen?"

Alternatively, ask about the other species that were in the alliance, and what has become of them over time.
Or ask why the Astranians haven't accepted new species into the alliance as the Obelisk did.

True to his word The Announcer indeed sent out ships to recover the four surviving pinkskins

and in the days to come they would be treated surprisingly well, given good food and medical treatment

. . . but none among the survivors where fool enough to believe this would be the end of their trials.
