Any airlocks nearby to lure it out of?

It dropped the sword. Use that to disable the artillery before it can fire.

>>1104889
Yes.
Pull it free and try to jam it in the control center.

Once you get that sword to its gun arm, rush between its legs to either strike its back, or book it.

Charge it and dive slide through legs.

Lieutenant Eric Taylor's Backstory

The big bullet points for Lt. Taylor are:

-Grew up under single father
-Enlisted in the UTR Marines
-First saw action when a vital Dwarven mining colony was attacked by Vidder insurgents (yes, those Vidder, I had asked Brom for permission to use them). This would lead into how there are disputed worlds in the UTR that may have been formally and politically ceded, but the locals did not care for it and took action.
-Taylor would meet Jacobe as his unit would join a task force for rooting out the insurgency
-Taylor's CO was the son of a major military contractor who got his rank via nepotism, and was also very racist towards Vidder
-The overall mission was a success, until Taylor's CO demanded he clear a local residental area
-The area would be full of civilians that had no part in the conflict, but the CO would demand their execution anyways
-Taylor, having a strong moral center, would refuse orders
-The CO would get enraged and try to force Taylor at gunpoint to kill the civilians
-Taylor would end up shooting his CO in the head, but not before the CO would blow off Taylor's right arm
-Taylor was set to be summarily executed if Jacobe had not recorded the whole incident
-In the end, Taylor and Jacobe would be dishonorably discharged and the incident would be swept under the rug
-Taylor would go nearly broke getting the cheapest cybernetic prosthetic so he could join a PMC and resume his military career outside the Marines
-He would eventually join Jacobe in a mission to run security for a small Gregorian-class science vessel called the UTR June

The rest, they say, is history.

Up next: Lt. Cmdr. Jacobe!

Feel free to comment and discuss!

Disappointed, but grateful for the sendoff. Thanks for running!

>-In the end, Taylor and Jacobe would be dishonorably discharged and the incident would be swept under the rug
I feel like it would be easier to sweep the incident under the rug with a regular discharge (or even honorable as bribe to keep their mouths shut about it).
Dishonorably discharging them (especially Jacobe) sounds actually petty rather than practical. (not to mention highly dishonorable in itself)

Taylor and Jacobe got the Big Green Weenie from their superiors. I wanted to show that even in the future, the armed forces can still be dicks, especially if it's motivated by the MIC.

Anyways! Decided to merge three characters into one update in order to be more efficient! Here we go! Wall of text ahoy!

Lieutenant Commander Robert Jacobe's backstory bullet points

-Son of military kid, aspired to be a soldier for the United Terran Republic, got his wish after high school.
-Skilled with firearms as a result of extra training with his dad
-Married Rose, his high school sweetheart (was going to ask LonelyWorld if I could use Rose from Pinkskin Quest, but forgot)
-Served a tour with Taylor, similar service history right until Taylor's incident with his superior officer
-After being discharged, a friend recommended him to the PMC he would join later (that we would discover has notoriously low standards and is shoddy as hell)

Ignore the injured Gene-Angel for now and focus on the remaining one. Have primer use Saluris Primean Hook Twist to try and catch it's blades and you try to flank it.

Well you better make the 500 millisecond count. Slice off it's blade arm to desable it.

Looks like you are playing the role of the minder today. Because otherwise things will get so much worse much faster if they truly believe a mimic is here.. or worse still if there actually is a mimic. You'll need to get them away to start searching.

Go get Sergei. Go get Vidian. She has her own doppelganger tricks and can do complex magics to prove her identity while axing the imposter with them.

Granted, Touched do sometimes talk about things that don't exist, or attach incorrect labels to things, but the typical strategy when working with them is assume they are correct until proven otherwise. Fewer people get eaten that way. I inform my new headache that I have other Rezan companions that may help.

"Well then go get them, why are you still standing here? Go get them, I will follow before the mimic can eat us all!"

See what I mean? I head back out to the passenger car.

"Sergei! Ser-oh lo lo lo, why iz a crowd forming 'ere?"

"Ah Nuunette, well Vidian was listening to a lecture on pipes and steam pressure, when she pointed out one sounded off, the engineer opened up a compartment and well..."

The Touched pushes past me and into the maintenance tunnel.

"Mmmm yes, that's not Matrin. That's his minder. Looks like the mimic stuff him in here for later."

"Mimic? Oh, you mean a voraklat?"

"A vora-what?"

"Something from the Rezan homeland. They disguise who they are based on their last meal. Smarter ones are known to store corpses if they need to switch diguises."

sadly, stealing a gift for an angel, though Deeply funny, is a bad idea.
Oh how countless Forms can be, perhaps something generally spiny, but not quite sharp. The idea of danger, but not Dangerous

>>1104479
Wait how does The Unwanted have a liege/spouse/owner, wouldn't that mean someone wants them?
>>1104483
Oh I get it, your appearance reflects your mental state. If you're upset your beauty leans towards monstrous and lean.

>change?
Hmm, well, I'm partial to scales.

>how to get it
Well, they're going to want to use it openly. If you stole it, then whoever you stole it from would easily find out where it went and try to get it back, which isn't a great result. Seems like you have to buy it or trade for it.

>>1104483
Effort is key.
Angels, being all soppy and junk, really believe that thing about the effort you put in to doing something. Maybe seeing that is one of their weird powers.

So, boss, the harder you work the better.
We need a horn then.
Which is ironic as we normally give people the horn, not find them.
Can we find a demon with a big head and horns and just uh, arrange a donation .
Oh!
Hang on. What about a woven reed horn.
If you get the reeds from the edge of the river lethe and gilter out all the forgetfulness magic, there might be some residual mana to tap for the enchantment.

Hang on do you know any other angels? Or at least know of any who would be willing to talk/trade with you? Cause the item your thinking or sounds more like a divine/blessing type thing than a demon type thing. Alternatively are there other powers you could reach out to? Are fae a thing in your reality?

Well, I'd like to see you swell with sexual fluids until the pressure causes you to orgasm, and do it again and again for the rest of the quest.

>What to get
Rather than an actual horn of plenty (gods get kind of pissed if you create an infinite exploit that takes power from their domain and gives mortals basic universal welfare), you could come up with a pair of magic items. A wastebasket that digests anything you put into it, which gets connected to hydroponics mini-farm that re-grows that same item in a smaller form. So, if you throw a chocolate cake in the bin, the bin eats it, keeps some energy for itself and the farm, and then creates a small clone of the chocolate cake.
This way, you don't have to worry about delivering future gifts! You can just give Havel a present via magic teleporter and it'll even be in fun size!

Double check; I'm assuming these things are pretty expensive. You can get complacent once you have a few runs under your belt. :P

Don't forget to form a deep bond with your Voidslave in order to work together perfectly while piloting.

Pat your Voidslave in the head to get started. In other words, pat yourself in the head.

It's not jumping, it's falling... with style.

Hmmm, would a Level 78 Dominatrix be a good Raid boss?

You're unarmed, so killing the rat without getting scratched seems unlikely. Shut the door and check a different room.

Will it attack unprovoked? Or can you just let it do its thing while you e.g. yoink a computer or w/e?

>>1103874
Use hat to protect your hand and splat the rat

>>1103884
seconding this. is there any REASON to kill it, or can you guys just chill in the same room together? if they have historically been hostile, just leave. we can come back when/if we find something better to splat the rat with.

You've died so many times, you can take a few more. Focus on learning and testing things, without regard for your own survival. Increase your headgear ranking by wearing the rat as a hat.

YOU GOTTA BELIEVE IN MIRROW. If you two are going to be partners in this clown show, you gotta learn to give and take with your pal.
Not to mention, even if you two get into a trouble it'll allow you to cut your teeth and steel yourselves a bit better.

So for now, trust in Mirrow and stick close.

What if you just asked to hold Mirrow's hand?

Regret not specing into Night Vision, it'd be so handy right now; but no, you had to get the "Funny Pal" trait in character creation along with "Smooch magnet".
