...while she pretty evidently wants you to stop watching, what is your power source, anyway, and is it something in need of conserving?

do not erase memories, engage power conservation.

>>252825
Say nothing, make it look like you complied.

Can you see anything wrong with Mint right now?

she's playing fort with her pillows, how childish

>>252825
@Enrad: Wait, was it the furres or the bugs? If contact was lost 32 years ago that means the bugs might not have gotten to Solan!

@Prince: This situation is well within the terms for suspending the right to privacy; if you conserve power while you are alone with Mint then nobody can respond if something happens to Mint. By the same token, anything which would justify deletion must by its nature be anomalous enough to forbid deletion.
Do not comply, but appear to do so for her comfort.

@Mint: Oken has a nice ass, doesn't she? She really knows how to work it, too. Doesn't just thinking about it make you want to go for another round?

>>252862
Those are her clothes and boots over on/by the stool, best I can tell (they weren't there earlier). So she's playing pillow fort naked.

>>252862

I'll have you know. pillow fort is a highly sophisticated pastime!

Mint: " . . . "

Mint: " OK turn off for real now!"

Eh, comply. We don't want to be disassembled. :(

MINT NO DISASSEMBLE!

no deleting anything ever. but comply with conserving power.
maybe try saying she is showing elevated stress lvls.

>>252966
You know, you could walk outside instead.

I don't think we're going to get anywhere with this unless you're going to actually go over there and peek under her blanket. Which probably WILL get you rebuilt as some kind of stupid inverted pendulum robot or something.

"Standard operating procedure mandates usage of the buddy system in contested areas. This facility is not yet secure, ergo I can not leave you unattended.
If you would like I can seal these records for privacy, but I cannot delete them without approval from at least three officers ranked as captain or above.
I have a predefined message from your commanding officer in the event that you threaten me over required behavior, among other contingencies: Mint, stop being an ass, leave the damn machine alone, and do your damn job. That's an order."

flee~

Get the fuck out of where or you're getting court martialed, you are disobeying direct orders from superiour officers, stop fucking around or we'll take you with us as a prisoner if we have to. We don't have time for your shit.

secrecy is unacceptable.

>>252966

Enter "Dalek Mode" if necessary? Wait, no, ask her to show her face as you are currently patrolling for an intruder life-form that may have disguised itself.

Gauge her reactions.

Enter Dalek mode, Prince.

Computations: >Pilot Oken's orders were unspecific I have little authority to make any demands of Engineer Mint

Prince: "Engineer Mint I do NOT respond to threats, if you attempt violence towards me you will have revoked your Alliance rights, making yourself liable for immediate extermination"

Mint: *sigh* "do you honestly have nothing better to do then pester me? I don't see why you want to stand around wasting your battery, but I just realized I don't give a shit any more, waste your battery, have fun, I'm taking a nap"

>>253096
Destroy the pillow fort.
With your claws, that is - not vaporizing anything.

just leave and guard the door. sit right in front of it in sleep mode.

Get off your fat ass and put it in rear, Oken isn't going anywhere without you, and you have better things to do than in lay in bed all day!

Remove that blanket!

Fuck, leave her alone and go outside. We have more facility to explore.

. . .

>Oken is exploring the facility

hmmm all that's in the crate is building supplies

move the crate and check behind it.

Let's check this first. There is also the other air vent to check.

>>253164
That panel behind the crate seems to have some kind of palm print identification scanner.

it looks like some sort of hand scan thingy, I try my hand on it . . . it doesn't do anything

dang, it's probably made for mouse people hands.

>>253221
Well, we can have Mint try to bypass that when she's done being crazy.

Go inspect the obvious trap in the vents.

>>253164

There is a wall to your right, right? I daresay, a fourth wall? We haven't gotten a look at it yet.

>>253232

It probably has some festive mural to balance out all the blood and stuff.

Look inside the crate.

Pry open that mirror panel right over there that the trap led to.

If Mint wasn't being stupid, I'm sure she could get that panel open

I guess I'll check the maintenance shaft

>>253541
Open it up and grab the battery.

Are you sure it's trapped? It doesn't LOOK trapped?

Throw a thing through it.

>>253541
Is it possible to get some thick rubber gloves, then poke it with the crowbar?

I can't find any rubber gloves that fit, oh well. I poke the battery with the CarboSteel crowbar . . . nothing happens

>Oken picks up battery

>>253628
Ok, is there anything further down the shaft this way?

>>253541
Mint is just being a butt... give her time~

>>253628
Quick, find an old man to trade it to for some other fairly useless item! (We'll get a sweet laser gun in the end)

there doesn't appear to be anything interesting down this passageway

>>253669
Right, let's not go through there yet.

What's down the other direction?

>>253669
Is the other entrance the only thing at the end of the other passage? If it is, then grab the crate and bring it back to the others.
Once recon and clearing of this area is finished you're going to want to go get prince and have him inspect the collapsed area next to that terminal; we need to know if we can safely clear out the rubble and explore the areas behind it.

Can we get some kind of map to figure out where we've been and where we haven't? The other direction just goes back where we came from originally, right?

>>253672

Could we please not forget that the other direction has a trap set?

the other direction leads to the holding cell fuze was in.

Chapter 5: End

>>253957
Stop napping and start clearing out that debris next to the terminal. This is a research facility, so it's pretty obvious there's more facility beyond that.

(forgot this part)

>Oken can't move the box, and clearing away rubble is hard work and would take a really long time
