Aurorix Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Jade O'Duffle (25/38 HP, 5/6 Pyro Rounds) Jade became furious after the bug got muck all over his precious hat. He's had that hat for ages now and to see it in such a sorry state saddened him beyond belief. "There are a couple a things in this world that you just don't mess with...ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS MY HAT!" He voiced his anger at the bug even though it probably couldn't understand his speech. "You'd with you hadn't done that you insect." He then fires a bullet at the queen once more, once again aiming for her face.

DragonRage Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Seeing as that rock didn't make much of an impact, Alexandria figures that this 'metalhead' probably has some solid armor. So she deploys her heavy pulse gatling and sends a barrage of armor-disintegrating pulse bolts down-range at the creature.

The lion form she takes shifts around a few parts here and there, causing a slight shift in voice. Still, now that she was like this, she could truly pounce on her prey.

Noir Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Kino and Enma UGH! Even her sister could not fault Enma for her tantrum. Shambled as she already was, even Kino would not acquiesce to the prospect of being drenched in a substance that vile. I don't want to fight this thing anymore! The sooner we end it, the lesser you have to deal with it, Kino answered, with amusement that for once, Enma did not want to enjoy the fun that she always did with their kin of spiritual brethren. Kino half begrudgingly, half-vengefully assaults the Vespiquen with her basic attack, as Enma summons yet another swarm of Death's Breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetaark Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) "That shall do," Ritsu remarks as she transforms back into her human form, doing a bit of maintenance work to deal with the injuries she sustained. Glancing at the remains of the creature, she finds some of the wax that she found earlier, along with some honeycombs and orbs. Taking the wax, 2 honeycombs, and about 25 orbs, Ritsu notices some of the larvae present. Considering the fact that taking some may lead to another one of these creatures spawning, the potential payoff could be quite nice. Deciding that it's worth a shot, Ritsu manages to contain one of the larvae. Taking one more glance before she departs, she notices a mysterious sphere. Curious, she took the [Bad Dream] and went back to Lua Da's lab. After a bit of travel, Ritsu arrived back at the lab and to Lua. "Excuse me, but I have a few things I'd like to get taken care of. One of which involving some of these," Ritsu starts by displaying the wax and the two sets of honeycombs. "Some of these have some explosive properties, but I'll get to those later. The honeycombs with this black wax has some rather curious properties, and I was wondering if I could integrate them into some device. I have a fair amount of precursor orbs and a power cell to use, so if something is workable, let me know," Ritsu finishes, hoping that something could be made from what she has.

Hal Henderics Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 "Oh, oh my! These are intriguing!" "Well, what devices do you believe you might need?" "Uhh, a few things off the top of my head, A gun that shoots these, a gun that shoots other things, jump boots, maybe a training robot? Oh! you are a machine, I could make repair paste from the wax itself, or maybe synthesize a wax coating that could be applied to your chassis, or another device?" "I could Upgrade the Rail Rider as well, using some of these materials, or upgrade something of yours?" "Oh, in addition, I could use those materials to make you some Rail Portals, so you have some in reserve to lock to world locations once I make the Prime Portal Rail?"

Zetaark Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 "Jump boots? That sounds...interesting at the very least. I personally don't really use guns, though an associate of mine was a good shot. But in general, something that can replicate the effects of this wax to some degree would fit the bill. As nice as the jump boots idea sounds, I'm not sure how they'll handle on my transformations. Hmm..." Ritsu pauses, her tail swaying a bit as she thinks about what form she wants her new equipment to take. "Perhaps some sort of accelerator device? Something that could boost the overall speed of myself and my actions. I'm not sure exactly what form that would take, but something that can function like that would be nice," Ritsu finally decides.

Hal Henderics Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 She hmms and haas to herself. She sketches something up. "Something like this?" She shows off the diagram, it demonstrates a backpack with a small hopper. "It can turn most advanced organic materials into a coating that can increase your speed drastically by reducing wind resistance and infusing you with Blue Eco!"

Aurorix Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Jade O'Duffle As the queen bug was impaled and soon defeated Jade spun his revolver before putting it back in it's scabbard. "We did good today everyone. Let's grab what we came for and head back." He spoke before heading over to where the stone tablet was and picked it up. He also picked up what seemed like an equal portion of precursor orbs lying there. Also some of those honeycombs and wax maybe useful. Unfortunately the acid from the bug seemed to have gotten inside his grass pouch and all the grass was either already wilted or is now soaked in acid. He dumped it out and filled his pouch with some of the honey combs and the wax Picked up: 25 Precursor Orbs Precursor Slablet 3 Honey Combs 1 Black Wax Once everyone was ready to go he headed back through the portal and back to the lab where he set the Slabet on a relatively empty table. "Alright Lass, here's what you asked for. I hope you can make good use out of it." He spoke to Lua Da tipping his soggy hat to her. Honestly he needed to fix up his hat. It was worn before but this is just ridiculous. "I hope you don't mind but I'm gonna use your lab for some tinkering." Jade spoke to her before taking the orbs he had, some power cells, and some yellow eco and starting tinkering with his hat. After a bit of work his hat looked rejuvenated and filled with new life. It was also integrated with precursor technology and had a glowing yellow indent in the front of the hat. Apparently he had integrated a plasma blast system within the hat. But he didn't stop there, with some left over orbs he had from before he took some green eco from her workshop and made a new type of ammunition for his gun. If it worked properly, which it should then he should be able to heal his allies with it. Crafting: Hat of the Precursors: Description: This worn cowboy hat has been enhanced with ancient technology, breathing new life into a beloved accessory.

DragonRage Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Alexandria takes the metalhead corpse, samples of each color of eco, and the 10 precursor metal orbs she has, as well as every scrap of usable material she can collect in a reasonable amount of time. She then attempts to use this to create an Integrated Systems armor piece or bauble that will ideally grant her some form of self-sustain. She's always going to be dependent on mechanics for support to some extent, but it's best to lighten their load whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrorious Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 A familiar blackness surrounds Gary once again. The beings are talking about him again. "I believe he is going to live." "Then why is he still asleep?" "He is in pain." "If only he knew the secrets of ^$*(@" "You know he can't understand ^$*(@, right?" "Not for now." There is a pause when the both actively notice that Gary is able to intrude on this conversation. "Wake up." Gary awakes and finds the battle is over. "... what is with these dreams?..." Gary heads back through the portal after reaching the other side of the portal, Gary walks off into the forest a short distance, and begins to obtain resource for later Gary attempts to break tall grass (Seeds, maybe Minicio?).

"This was one of the larvae around the area of the wax, among other things. In theory, nurturing it could provide more of the wax substance I have with me now. Alternatively...it could create another large bee monster like the one we dealt with.

"It was in an underground lab in the temple, bored into the metal itself, which is completely impossible, as that was primary precursor metal!" "The only thing in there were empty drawers, empty shelves, ruined technological components, and this, a single folder of documents." She slides it across the table.

No matter what combination of life data and energy fields I utilize, artificial entities made from the primary source are willing to fight anything, even foes much stronger than they are, to the death even, I however, seem to be given only passing resistance from my experiments. Is it some sort of misguided belief based on my having created them? No. There must be more to this phenomenon. I should never have given up on obtaining my own world's power source, it made thoughts like this much more lucid. Several Parts of it are filled with complex diagrams and equations, and all of it is written in... Bubble font? Whoever wrote it seems to write with a bubbly outline of the letters.
