Mike clearly needs convincing. Grind up on him and strip your clothes off so he understands the spiritual journey you’re currently undertaking.

That would explain how she ended up with nothing under her jumpsuit, and how she got down there at the start of the quest. Support these two

Next we'll need to figure out how she got the jumpsuit

Realise that even if you fall now, you'll never catch it. You'll need to figure out where it landed and go after it by another method.

Remove coat, drop down after it. I'm sure if Orchid is watching, they'll help make sure we don't get hurt. We have some of the samples they want us to put in us after all.

He doesn't seem to understand that you have to get the gun. Try speaking in a dead idiom that you shouldn't know to make a point. Try "Omnia denique ortum sit" or "Vanum est vobis ante lucem lumina?"

Slide out of your jacket and go after the bender. Literally do whatever it takes to get it.

So now both you and the gun are going to be caught by the RESK-U system, but that probably also means you'll be caught by the authorities with the dustbender and the samples. I don't think there's anything you can do about that right now.
>>
No. 1009061 ID: e51896

No turning back now. I don't think the RESK-U is going to grab the gun considering Mike kicked the other gun off. It'll probably just save save us.

unless Orchid does something to prevent it, since they are spying on us like Mike said, in which case, look for the softest spot to land on, maybe water?
>>
No. 1009062 ID: f8fa51

Then in case the RESC-U system doesn't catch the dustbender, try to angle yourself to fall faster and catch it.
>>
No. 1009065 ID: 5fd284

Straighten up and reach out for the bender. If your fucked you might as well finish what you started.

angle for the dust-bender, then spread yourself as wide as you possibly can to catch as much wind as possible before you hit the dirt.

Concentrate on your new Founder memories and learn how to cast Feather Fall right now!
>>
No. 1009084 ID: b0df41

From what I understood RESK-U was a relatively new system... Is it implanted yet?

If not I suggest to start to flap your arms very fast, try to use your trousers as parachute or pray really really hard.
>>
No. 1009092 ID: 9a2966

Don't panic. There's the RESC-U system. Right?

But fuck, the bender. Will it rescue that?

As of chapter 0: "for the past 10 years, the Concourse and it shelves have had zero deaths from falling off of a plate or shelf"
>>
No. 1009143 ID: e51896

To your left, is that the dustbender? if it is, try to fall faster to grab it.

Also, just realized it said "it was standard practice to keep teams of rescue personnel mobilized around the clock, ready to handle any number of accidents leading to someone, or something, falling from the Concourse or its shelves."

so maybe the Resk-U system does grab things as well? then why did Mike drop that gun? maybe the system only grabs people and not objects while in the past, rescuers grabed both objects and people.
>>
No. 1009149 ID: 9ce839

Take off your pants to gain an aerodynamic advantage and catch the dustbender. It would also be a good excuse to say that you were nude skydiving.
>>

>>1009056

Tits-out revelations are always the most chilling.

Any thoughts, feelings? Sudden regrets?

Regardless, we'd best hope the RESC-U system engages soon, and that it manages to snag the bender, too.

(Speaking of ... where are the samples? Not on us, from what I can recall. Does Mike still have them? If so, well ... shit, not much worth in the bender without those.)
>>
No. 1009153 ID: 2f6ee3

Doesn't the bender have some samples left in it that haven't been stored? If we can grab it and finish injecting before RESK-U picks us up, then we're home free.
>>
No. 1009181 ID: 9d289f

I think we put all the samples in the dustbender. We probably dont wanna lose it or have it break.
>>
No. 1009215 ID: dfbac0

Well then, it seems that the shock has kicked in and logic has returned.
You still need to dive for that bender though. If the authorities get their hands on those samples you would be royally fucked, so whether we want to continue or not, we can't let rescue workers confiscate those samples.
You're already fucked, might as well take the rest.

Least the safety net below will grab us. Who knows about the gun or anything else now though.

...Fuck it. Whatever was in those samples... it's important. I don't quite understand how, or why, but I know I need to get them back at any cost.

Steeling myself as I plummet, I push my arms to my sides, trying to gain speed on the bender.

As if on cue, the safety net beneath Gansett kicks in; I try to shake it off as its tendrils wrap around my legs and tail.

The bender's so close that I can almost grab it -- just need to get a little closer! But I can feel the net pulling on me, slowing my descent -- I writhe as I fall, trying to break free for just a few moments longer!

Seems most of the Resk-u is grabbing your pants. Ugh, fine. Pants off. should release your from most of the net grabbing you.

Your skill at fast clothing removal has suddenly become vital.
>>
No. 1011127 ID: 7f1c09

Slip out of any clothing the net captured you on like the pants. You'll call a friend when you reach the ground and make sure the dust bender doesnt hit the ground and break. Raise your tail upwards toward your back too so it is't caught on the net. Also, look for something soft to land on.

No. 1011159 ID: 9ce839

Can't you like, grab some of those nets and throw them at the bender to have them slow it as well? Since there's dust in the bender, it might get recognized as something alive as well.
>>
No. 1011582 ID: 15a025

Question is, if we take off our pants, is there another layer of Resk-U net to save us further down? If the answer is yes, then off they go.
>>
No. 1011722 ID: fbd643

All that matters is grabbing that dust bender, your pants are just holding you back, literally. Off they go.
>>
No. 1011733 ID: 873930

I notice one of the strings is about to wrap around her right arm. Might be a good idea to pull it directly back instead of reaching for the bender before it tightens and use the arm to unbutton the pants to loosen them so she can have an easier time slipping out of them.
