There could be runes or something written on the bottom. Flip it over and check

The pizza is in a state of quantum superposition between pineapple and not pineapple.

Cooked with sexual fluids.

Om nom nom.

You take a bite into it, you expect a slight locust taste from refined insect powder, but find nothing. The pizza tastes like... pizza. Like the idea of what you think pizza tastes like, the platonic idea of pizza.

>>1119125
Nothing like that on the tray or the pizza.

>>1119134
No pineapple taste either, it looks like a regular pepperoni pizza.

By all measures you aren't sure what the true mystery of the pizza is. Maybe it's a psychological thing, like people who think organic food tastes better and get tricked into thinking what they're told is organic is the better tasting one. Maybe the whole thing is that this pizza is just labelled as a mystery to make you second guess yourself.

>>1119182
If there's nothing wrong with the pizza, then just eat it all!

>>1119182
Maybe each slice tastes different. Or maybe ONE slice is extra spicy!

eat the whole pizza all by yourself

You do so, it has been a long time since you've eaten. Usually you're hooked up to a nutrient IV while in your mech so feeding isn't a problem, even some of the augments in your body reduce the need for food. Still, actually eating is a benefit.

>>1119203
Having eaten it all, no you can say for certain that the taste is completely the same.

I guess the mystery is how corporate could provide pizza that isn't terrible

It's a mystery for certain.

Well you've eaten, you're now just left sitting here. Your shift has completed so now you're on rotation until the next job comes in.

All you have left is to explore the base, hit the garage and review your mech, or go to what has been made of the barracks and rest.

Explore the base! Get a good lay of the land.

stroll around

You opt to go explore the base, where do you wish to explore first?

>>1119576
Let's check out the armory! Maybe get some firearms practice in.

>>1119576
Try the armory. You could probably get yourself a weapon for whenever you need to fight outside of the mech.

what's in stock in the armory?

You enter the armory, it is a large area manned by one old looking bulldog with a graying mustache, he has rows of weapons behind him, a range in operation. You can tell as well this isn't even all of the area, there should be an area for mech weapons as well.

>>1119701
Don't really need a new weapon for the mech. Just focus on seeing if there's anything that you'd want for yourself.

You approach the Quartermaster and opt to talk to him, see about weapons.

Welcome to the ITA armory, what can I do ya fer?

What do you want to ask about?

What's on stock? Got any laser rifles? What would he recommend for something reliable and suited for indoor combat?

inquire about sniping options for mechs

No laser rifles, most long arms aren't useful for mech pilots, we keep personal defense options in stock instead. However I do got this laser pistol here.

He holds up a bulky handgun, the lensed aperture signifying it is in fact a laser pistol.

>>1119803
There are a few options there, what are you looking for specifically in terms of mech weaponry?

It just seems like we should look into very long range stuff in case we have to guide the alien mech again

>>1119952
Yeah, we need a weapon if we're ever in combat outside of our mech.

He seems knowledgeable about various different weapons. Ask if there's any pros and cons for getting a laser pistol over something else.

>>1119969
You ask about the pros and cons of a laser pistol.

Energy efficient, accurate, and no recoil. However it needs to be recharged instead of reloaded so replacing ammo is tough, it gets hot easily and the lens can warp if you aren't careful, and it's not exactly stealthy.

There's a lot that goes into long range options for mechs, some are rail cannons, others are chemical ballistics, and finally there's energy weapon choices. Which do you want to learn about first?

balistics

Rail cannons!

Rail weapons sound good.

>>1119997
I say get the laser pistol. It seems reliable as long as we don't overuse it.

Alright we got one model in stock. A rail rifle will be deposited into your garage and you can use it for future missions. Have fun.

You decide to take the laser pistol.

Good choice, have fun.

You have new weaponry, are there any questions you'd like to ask or are you good?

Artillery

>>1120073
Nah, we're good. Let's go do something else.

You have a few other locations to visit, where would you like to go?

since its near you could pop into the launch bay

The place is surprisingly empty, just old monitors and equipment for launching the spacecraft. It seems operational, but nobody is around here.

You could mess with the equipment.

probably best not to

Odd lack of security here. Uh, maybe you should call someone and ask how you're able to get in so easily? On the other hand, if there's nothing on the launch platform maybe the console is locked down so pushing buttons doesn't do anything. On the other other hand, if someone unauthorized got in here they could sabotage the console itself.

Are there any buttons marked DO NOT PRESS?

If anyone's here, fucking around with launch command would be a good way to get them to come running.

If anyone asks why you're here, tell them you were looking for the "Muffin Button". You know, that button you push that immediately spawns in a fresh muffin to eat. That's why you're here.

Plant listening bug, leave

You consider your options, unsure of what to pick, though you're fairly certain there is no such thing as a "muffin button" and that the ITA would never install one anyways.

>>1120365
Sadly you don't have those, you're not a spy, you're a corporate soldier in all out warfare.

Lacking any further information, probably shouldn't touch anything. Except maybe if you can find something harmless like the camera controls.

The purpose of this update is to get a solid consensus on what to do next. Pick from what's been made available already and we'll go with that.

Touch something. Do it. Press the button.

Of all the choices, you decide to boil it down to this. There's a power button, you can turn on the console and begin to dig for whatever information is on there, it's a spaceport it has to have a record.

Or you ignore the thing entirely, and leave and go somewhere else, perhaps the barracks to rest for the night.

Those are your options, gain information or remain ignorant, if people come running or not is secondary.

Eh, why not. turn it on and see whats been logged

>>1120462
Sure, let's snoop.

Yeah, turn it on, check that nothing auto-starts, and have a look at the contents.

A log, a diary, a user's manual...
