Leg it!

Hide strainer in butt. Climb stack of butts. You can look down upon the room as a vigilant watcher, and jump down when they come in to ambutts them.

>What's the best course of action, A.I.?!
Gtfo. You need an exit, and/or a place to hide. We don't need a prolonged engagement with security forces.

>>590811
Get to a hiding spot, or find a way out. If you hide make sure you can eavesdrop on the guys coming in.

shit, just realized, maybe it was smarter then normal? the guy is going AI research so he could have issued upgrades.

I ain't got my bearings in here, so I don't wanna get caught while cornered or somethin'.

It may be best to hide again. Cuts, help me up on these boxes.

"Copy that, madam."

Cuts helps me spring up on top of the boxes, following me up. The two of us look down towards the cargo ship that brought us here.

A bunch more strainers are walkin' around down there. Are there no people on this ship, just a bunch of these copy-paste robots?

"Now that we are up here, madam, how should we get back down?"

You did not hide the neutralized strainer. They will search for you once they discover it.

Advise rapid ASSessment of exits from vantage point before deciding course of escape.

does the ceiling have rafters? those are great places to go.

Hey Cuts, can you throw your voice? You should impersonate a strainer, and scream "OMG the intruder looks like one of us!"

Or throw us. Throw us, the AI, at one of the strainers. We'll go mess with their heads. You can pick us up after the slaughter.

Is there a back side to the pile of boxes you can climb down? Or are they piled up against a wall, possibly giving vent access?

Oh that ain't no big deal. These things fall to pieces all the time. Just look, there's a couple that fell apart over in the corner there.

These things have guns. That's their big threat. Pretty decent threat to have if ya ask me.

>>591213
I don't see nothin' we could get on.

>>591222
There's a gap between the boxes and the wall. Probably because there's a a big door there that they don't wanna completely block.

>>591215
Cuts, can you throw your voice?

"Throw, like baseball?"

No, no, throw your voice, as in ya get inside the head of one of those strainers.

"Aha, I see, madam. Smart! But no I cannot do that."

Well then we'll go with the other idea, throwin' our A.I. buddy at one 'n' gettin' it to confuse the rest. You hear that, A.I.? I'm gonna toss ya at a strainer; you should stick to it. You'll start hearin' it's voice talkin' to ya 'n' such. Just say some shit to get it all confused, then it may start gettin' the others confused. Got it?

3, 2, 1.

I am going to ignore this as well. This order means nothing to me. These are not my orders. This will not even make me paranoid. In fact, I will let the others know of your unheard orders.

"You hear that, fellow defense units? An impostor is trying to convince me that the intruder is disguised as one of us. And I know that this is not true."

The others respond. "Indeed, fellow defense unit, there are no intruders disguised as us. I will not even become paranoid by what you have said."

Even more start to respond. "Yes, me neither. No paranoia here."

Alright, well Cuts cut loose. He went behind the cargo ship, so I tried goin' over there 'n' seein' where he went, but I couldn't find 'im. No idea how he got outta this room without me seein'.

Ugh, dammit. At least the strainers are taken care of. Quite the show you had 'em put on. Now I just wish I had a map of this pla-

>>ACTIVATING HEADS UP DISPLAY

AHH!

Uh... Neat. Guess I got what I wanted.

So. Don't know where Cuts is, so I'm really unsure on what to do next and how to go about it. This is where I'm really gonna need your help, A.I.

Go southwards. There's a door down there that leads somewhere off the map, it'd be useful to know where it goes.

Okay Butts, you need to go through the north door and find an escape route, cute is likely killing off robots in the center room where many of them are likely shooting each other due to our storm of madness. Proceed with caution and stealth, all strainers will likely attempt to kill you on sight.

Fine go south no need to conflict. Follow the same strategy.

What's the difference between the red and green doors on that map?

If red doors are sealed or blocked, then we have a problem, because all 3 doors out of this room are red.

Is that a hologram we're projecting?

Go South.

South is often equivocated with downwards, which is where butts are. Taking into account newly gained obsession with butts, Cuts will go south to find more butts. It is only logical.

>>591878
>>591927
This seems correct. Be sure to have your gun out before proceeding.

Do ya not know how your own map system works?

>>591897
Okay, so ya do know. Red doors are locked; can't get through 'em. This lock down bullshit is probably gonna make navigatin' this station a little extra work. Nothin' that can't be managed, though.

So yeah, all three doors out of this dockin' bay are locked. Now, I don't suppose ya have any idea on how I may get out of this room, do ya? I think there's a small terminal in here somewhere. Oh, 'n' there's the crane too in case you got some ideas for that.

The HUD appears to say you have two frag grenades on you. Blow that door open and be careful not to lose your butt, butts.

>>592177
before we use those up let's try the slightly more subtle approach, as in, plug us into it.

if that fails we need a big solid object to grab with the crane, like a metal pipe.

>The HUD appears to say you have two frag grenades on you. Blow that door open and be careful not to lose your butt, butts.

Nice idea in concept, but Frag grenades are meant to take out flesh-and-blood people (and to a lesser extent, robots) not for demolitions. Demolition charges are meant to have a very controlled blast to do a specific job.

>>592177
Frag grenades generally aren't the best tech for demolitions work. Much more effective against enemy assets than sealed bulkhead doors.

Bring us to the lock, we'll see if we can hack or override that. If that fails, we'll use the crane to make an exit.

I've played this game before. To make the doors turn green you need to destroy all hostiles in the area.

Go around crushing Strainer buttheads until the doors unlock.

Well I'm tryin' to find a place to plug ya in, but it's not workin'. And stickin' ya to it don't do anything either.

Guess we'll have to settle with the crane. Now I found the little computer that controls it over by the big east door. It's got some anti-gravity-attachment-mumbo-jumbo that'll surely come in handy. Pretty simple controls too. Unfortunately, it won't reach the south door where we wanted to go, only the east door.

Shit again! Stupid strainers 'n' their orders! Now what?! They're comin' through the east door 'n' I'm right next to it!

Well, if you've got a crowd of enemy infantry all trying to rush through one small door, now might be a good time for a frag grenade.

you can also swing the door you just ripped off at them. go strainer bowling.

>>592946

I suggest a crane attack first, grenade as a follow-up. The crane is unexpected but would only work with the element of surprise... grenades are more effective overall, let's not use them before we really need them.

>>592943
>>592949
Yeah might as well use the crane to take out a chunk of them and toss in a grenade if they keep coming.

Hide behind the control panel and sneak out the door once you see the greys of their butts go past.

Hell, I guess there was only 3. Nobody else in here.

Whatever. I'm in the next room now, probably the room where they process everything that gets shipped to or from this dockin' bay. Looks like whoever works here is gettin' a bit behind. If anybody works here at all... Or maybe it's all just strainers...

Anyway, I think this is the maintenance sector of the station, what keeps it goin'. These LIFEBELTs are civilian stations that also have sectors for living, recreation, 'n' occupations. I don't remember the layout though.

I actually used to live on one of these things when I was a kid. LIFEBELT-9, lived there until I was about five. Then those people from Mars came 'n' captured it from Earth 'n' took me away. I ain't S.O. on Mars no more, though. But while I was there, Mars clearly captured more places like the LIFEBELTs in their stupid little war.

Gettin' sidetracked. The task at hand is findin' Cuts, then the doctor. We got options here accordin' to the map. What to do next...

Go South, remember? Don't get left behind.

Go check out that mystery locked door in the bottom-left room. It's not like we have any idea where anything else is.

You must follow the Cut's Butt's logic formula and head to the south corridoor, then head right.

Yeah, south looks a good direction to try. You can check two rooms without having to find additional ways to break down doors.
