>BTW Prince is now part of Oken's inventory

well I can't do anything from here, I'm going to get a little-

ITS A TRAP!

Drop your weapon to show that you're not planning any hostile actions. Then ask whether you're allowed to turn around.

>>240640
It doesn't look pinko-ish. Surrender and hope for the best.

>>240640
Why on Earth do you have your back to it?

Well, since you're a terrible shot, better lower that weapon and turn around.

>>240640
Get down, identify your attacker.

I can't win this . . .

Oken: "I surrender, you got me"

Hoft: "surrender? can't you even die like a soldier!? you make me sick.

I hear his weapon charging

Hoft: "time to die Oken"

>>240694
Ask him how he knows your name... unless that's on your uniform. I either suggest offer something he wants. Besides, your not a soldier, you are a goddamn pilot. The best pilot in the galaxy, hell the universe. Killing you is a horrible thing for the alliance.

You don't take this bullshit.

What? I am trying to end a misunderstanding with an ally, not die like a soldier! Now put the gun down, Mint is hurt.

>>240697
I believe this is the Hoft that was part of our crew, we got a ray gun from his locker.

He's already charging his rifle so srew diplomacy. Try to dodge his shot by dropping to the floor and grab your gun.

combat roll grab gun turn and fire!

>>240694
"Hey, idiot, I captured an enemy vehicle. It's, like, right over there, seriously."

Stop standing there like a target. Grab your gun as you charge him, keep low and zigzag. Ask him what's this about while you do it, don't give him a second to concentrate.

... wat

>>240707
This, but also switch it to stun intensity. If you won't make it then aim for legs. What I'm saying is try to keep him alive.

Looks like we're gonna find out if that lucky charm of yours is any good, Oken.

>>240694
Dive out of the way, grab the gun. If you can do it with any speed, switch to a lower setting before you fire.

Wow Hoft really is a jerk. After you take out his legs and steal his rifle from his feeble grasp be sure to kick him a couple times to show him who's boss.

Oken: "what the hell Hoft? we're on the same team!"

Hoft: "that's where you're wrong! I refuse to be a pawn to your treacherous Alliance Command!"

Oken: "Hoft wait!"

Hoft: "Everything they've told us is a lie! Oken I'm not like you! I will not let my homeworld burn just so the Alliance can save face!"

damnit . . . my ray blasts can't get through his energy shield

>>240747
Shoot his feet?

"I feel the same way, dumbass! Stop shooting and talk!"

Can you dive for his legs? Or maybe punch him in the crotch?

"HOFT THEY SENT ME ON A SUICIDE MISSION, I KNOW, STOP SHOOTING OH GOD"

Try shooting the walls above him thus causing a rockfall.

>>240759
pretty much this

Say "Aaaaa! Why do YOU want to kill ME?"

Show him Prince. He's in your "inventory" right? Seeing you holding the severed head of the "nuclear" robot should give Hoft a moment of pause.

>>240797

Doubtfully, he's probably the one that sabotaged Prince.

>>240747
Throw the gun away "I JUST FOUND OUT THEY ARE LIARS! STOP SHOOTING!"

How do we know each other's names? Oh god is everybody's name on each otehr's uniform?

"Dammit, Hoff, Lemme alone I just wanna go home."

>>240747
"NO SHIT SHERLOCK YOU THINK I DIDN'T FIGURE THAT OUT WHEN PRINCE DIDN'T BLOW UP AFTER FALLING TWENTY FEET?!"

>>240829
Don't throw the gun away, but do the other part of this.

>>240747
"I JUST FOUND OUT DAMN IT"

>>240747
"I'M NOT WITH THE ALLIANCE."

>>240930
Man that was a week ago, I forgot. Thought it was some other name. It was weird when it went like
>Hoft: Dialogue
and I'm like uhhh wha happen? did we learn his name?

An introduction sentence would have been nice to connect the face to the name. Whatever. Hoft is being a dick shoot his dick off.

>>240747
Tell him we know the pinkies aren't horrible monsters! We just found out! Tell him to stop shooting so we can work together on this.

Also stop trying to shoot him with your gun, we're just wasting ammo. You managed to get that close so do some grapplan and keep that gun pointed away from your fleshy bits.

Oken: "HOFT! just hear me out! I just found out about the Commander!"

He grabs me by the colar, and brings me close, a really bad move on his part, at this close range his sheilds won't be able to deflect a full focused beam

Hoft: "I can't trust anyone, you're all lying to me!"
Oken: "I haven't lied to you Hoft, please don't shoot me"

I can see the torment in his eyes, for some reason he's torn up about what to do, something's spooked him good

I've flown with Hoft for seven months, the gunner I knew would never hurt a Comrade. I used to trust him with my life, can I trust him to do the right thing?

on the other hand, I don't want to die, Hoft's a better fighter then me, I'f I don't take this shot and kill him now, I won't get another chance

slowly get out Prince's head and show it to him. "he was a dud"

>>241065
Lower your weapon.

Tell him "I just had the perfect opportunity to kill you. But I didn't. Is that enough trust for you?"

>>241065
Slowly:
Point and move your gun away from him. Flip the safety on. Relax most of your grip so it can pivot to a neutral position. Let it drop to the ground.
Hug him.

Yeah I don't think showing off Prince is a great idea just yet.

Lower your weapon. He's been loyal all this time, he's just freaking out a bit, let him relax. We could -use- a good soldier if we're going to get off this dust ball.

Don't drop your weapon, but do lower it. Say that you could have just shot through his shield, but you didn't. Isn't that enough for him to calm down?

Saying how we could of shot him but didn't may not gain his trust. Tell him how you've realized that you've been lied to about the Pinkies. That you don't know what to think anymore. Ask him what's going on.

>>241065
TRUST THAT MF

"There is no bomb. Prince was loaded with vegetable rations. Mint's in the tower, she's fine. Now get your ass in there so we can talk someplace safe."

Maybe we should ask why we should trust -him-? I mean, he bloody left us to die!

Oh no, we're not dropping our only weapon yet.

>>241065
Raise your gun and open your palm (err... hoof?), letting the weapon hang on the trigger guard. Keep looking in his eyes firmly, but with your hands open.
Body language, Oken, body language.

"I stumbled across a pinky patrol. We fought, I interrogated them. I know there is more to this mission that we were told. I know how you feel, Hoft. Now please let's calm down and talk."

Probably isn't the right time to say that we had to figure out about the Command on our own because he FUCKING LEFT US FOR DEAD, but that can wait.

So uh... Hoft, what's up with your homeworld? We're on the human homeworld, right? Is this something else I don't know? Because if you need someone to take you to your homeworld to go save it, I'm your pilot.

Oh also uh... here's your gun back. It kind of saved my life. Well, okay, not really but it was really cool. Heyyy wanna go see the prisoner I got?

"Hoft we're friends man, come on"

>>241098
GRRK! Prince was full of veggies because we gave them to him to carry. This was only like a week ago people.

Ask him how HE found out. Also, why were YOU left to go down with the ship?

"Hoff, everything I heard about the pinkies is a lie. I'm upset too. Let's talk this over."

I turn off the raygun

Oken: "I'm not going to kill you hoft, even though I can, I trust you Hoft"

Hoft: " . . . Oken"

He drops me, drops his gun, and falls to his knees

Oken: "I captured a pinky tower, Mint's there, we should go there to and-"

Hoft: " . . . stop lying to me"

Oken: "I'm not lying! you can see the tower, it's right over there!"

Hoft: "STOP LYING TO ME! make the voices stop!"

Oken: " uh H-Hoft?"

Hoft: "AAAARGH GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

No Hoft we're not getting out of your goddamn head :3 We're not bad voices we're good voices!

Tell me boy, how was all that porn of Oken we slapped your shit with? Maybe we were leading Hoft behind the scenes and Oken just coincidentally listened to us. I can only imagine the mental chaffing.

>>241227
Seems like there has been a bit of experimentation done on him. Ask him to come over to the girrafe and then give him some sleeping pills or something. Then I think we're gonna need Prince to make a diagnostic of him.

Kick that rifle away from him before he does something stupid.

Hoft: "THE LIES! THE LIES! MAKE THEM STOP! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!AAAAAAAAAARRRRGGH"

>Hoft rips some horrible creature out of his neck,

>Oken is horrified by the recent developments,

augh!wait until he drops it then shoot that bitch.

>>241259
Ack!

Hoft is gonna need some help here shortly, I think.

>>241259
Wait until the drops it and then make sure you grab it in some claws or something. We need to examine the shit out of that thing.

Oh, and make sure you patch up that bleeding wound on his neck.

>>241263
examine it? the best we are gonna get without a trained doctor or scientist is that it has a shell and does stuff. no better kill it before it risks getting loose and attaching to someone else.

You've got the gun. Shoot that thing.

You can handle its recoil, right? Just making sure you won't split Hoft into halves by accident, the rifle doesn't look like it's designed for tiny deer folk.

... and your crew doesn't even have a medic. It's just like you were intended to not survive from the start!

making sure Hoft doesn't bleed to death from the wound in his neck would be good

It's in the air, so it can't change direction. Whack it with the rifle. BONK!

Yeah, Hoft kinda needs medical attention immediately there.

Apply first aid and get him to the tower.

>>241381
Make sure your gunner doesn't die.

Yeah, waste no time and get our furry Elvis into the tower.
I recall Prince saying something about medical software/hardware, but that was before his body turned into scrap.

Oh, and, uh, nice hit, Oken. Way to go!

get hoft to the giraffe and see what you can do about that wound. you don't want him getting an infection on his neck.

>>241381
Check on Hoft's status.

>>241381
Grab him and the weapons and RUN for the tower! Where there's one, there's more!

>>241381
Drag Hoft over to giraffe and get him patched up. Looks like the bug was quite gibbed. But see if you can find some tissue samples for examination.

You fuckin broke the rifle. Hoft is so going to kill you once you save his life.

I use the last of the bandages in the medkit, on Hofts neck,

Hoft gathers his things and we head for the "Rampaging Giraffe"

Oken: "Hoft, we should hurry there might be more of those things around!"

Hoft: "that thing wasn't from here. It came from the IceWorld: Vin-Malor"

(CHAPTER 2: END)

(now is a good time to suggest long term plans for Oken and company)

we need to figure out exactly what is going on. and maybe ask mint what is with the bug thing.

>>241565

1. Find a way to hide/camoflage the Giraffe.
2. Use it as your mobile fort.
3. Sneak into a spaceport and
4. Commandeer a starship.
5. Go save Hoft's planet or whatever.
6. ?????
7. Profit!

and by ????? I mean space piracy.

>>241571
I agree with any plan that involves space piracy. We'll need a ship large enough to stow the Turbo Giraffe, though.

Shorter-term, we ought to check out that smoke, too.

>>241577

Oh, I predict the Rampaging Giraffe will have long since exploded by the time we get into space. This is long-term planning.

>>241605
I cannot endorse any plan that involves anyone shooting up our fine ride.

I mean, how would we do planetside raids as Space Pirates without it?

>>241616
By getting a finer ride.

>>241640
The only ride finer than the Rampaging Giraffe is the Rampaging Giraffe after being modified by space pirates. It's an all-terrain cherry picker!

>>241686
What we need is a tank made entirely of chainsaws.

>>241565
They're getting a ship and then getting the fuck off planet. Go to look for some third fairly neutral faction and seek asylum. Shit be fucked up in these parts of space.

Resupply to hell, figure out what's going on, make sure everyone is alive, and uh, find some way to apologize to the pinky because of obvious reasons.

>>241565
Defect to the pinkies! Encourage the rest of the army to do the same!
Have hot makeouts with Mint and Hoff!

>>241800
Anything but this. We will likely be shot if when they discover that we were going to nuke them.

Find out what the pinkies' side of the story as far as the war is concerned. We should decide if we want to defect, or just desert and stop fighting altogether.

>>241571
What about:

Mix crashed ship parts with the Giraffe.
Make an epic spaceship.

>>241960

You'll have to ask Mint that one. Something tells me she won't be too optimistic about it.
