Kazuma: "... you okay?"
Sue: "Yeah."

...

Sue: "So it's the only egg ready to hatch... How long will the others take?"
Kazuma: "Couldn't say. They're not exactly on a timer. Half the experiment is seeing if they live. Some look pretty close, and some look like they never will. If we monitor them long enough, I think we could get a few more. But that would cut into time, and you had other stuff to do. It can't be helped."

Sue: "So can this one help us... uh... murdilate the guards?"
Kazuma: "Well, it'll be a baby. And our only means of flight. So we should be careful about throwing it in dangerous situations. But, yeah, it'll probably be stronger than any of us individually."

Sue: "Well, what's the carry weight? Like... three?"
Kazuma: "Well, it hasn't hatched yet, so I couldn't say exactly. But we can probably fit at least three on there, yeah. More if you don't mind us riding on top of each other. Sky dragons are pretty strong. ... if you're really serious about saving all the mimigas, though, we'll need the 'copter. Or more dragons. Or a lot more time."

Toroko: "Let's call him Bubbles!"
Jack: "How about Galahad?"
King: "This is stupid."
Toroko: "Stupid isn't a very good name."

Put the next egg in the warming pedestal before you leave. That way it'll get a chance to hatch, just in case something happens!

>>208521
Bubbles it is then!

>>208521
I love Toroko. Bubbles it is!

Test fly the dragon - and not near the cliff!

How about Bombles. Because he is the bomb.

>>208532
Seconding this. Because chances of a nonstupid name now are not high.

However I will also suggest a not stupid name.

Bruce Willis.

Gonna hafta third bubbles.

Then while Kazuma gets the next egg set up in the incubator, let's see if this baby can fly <s>by shoving it off the island and hoping</s> by asking it nicely!

Darrell or Typhoon.

Also yes, set up a second egg, practice flying. Will he be able to carry all of you?

Sue: "Hey, why don't we put another egg on the incubator so it'll hatch later?"
Kazuma: "First of all, because the eggs weigh like three hundred pounds. And second because they're already in incubators. The ones outside are just more internalized than this."
Sue: "Oh. Right. ... then why aren't they hatching?"
Kazuma: "Sue you already know why that is."
Sue: "I do?"
Toroko: "I don't!"

Kazuma: "For the sake of everyone who came in late, it goes like this:

The eggs are hooked up to an incubation and life support system. In fact, a lot of the eggs are really old, but the dragons inside are miraculously still alive! We're trying to hatch them with the incubators, but due to the state of the eggs, it requires a complex procedure involving the gradual deactivation of life support, which is initiated by a password. But it can only be done when the eggs are ready to hatch.

There's no time limit after the eggs are ready (unless you take so long they go dormant again), but failing to hatch the dragons properly, either by hatching them early or all at once, could result in them dying or being born with severe birth defects, or any number of other complications. Sky Dragons are pretty rare, so we don't want that to happen.

Finally, there's no way to tell when an egg will be ready to hatch. Some might be ready in a few hours, a day... or never at all. Honestly that seemed like less of a hurdle before Mr Fuyuhiko went all crazy."

Jack: "Mr... Fuyu..."
Kazuma: "That's Date's last name. The Doctor. Not that he answers to it anymore."
Sue: "I didn't know any of this."
Kazuma: "You didn't know we were trying to revive the dragons?!"
Sue: "No! I mean. I knew that. I just... didn't know it was so complicated."
Kazuma: "You really need to pay more attention Sue. What're you gonna do when it comes time to choose your own proffession? What kind of scientist are you going to be? Do you even know?"
Sue: "I know that I can kick your ass!"

Toroko: "So we can't get anymore dragons?"
Kazuma: "Oh, no, we could. But we'd need someone to stay down here to keep an eye on them and enter the codes when they're ready. There's just no way to know how long it would take. But I can do it, if you want."
Jack: "Won't that be dangerous? You'd be all alone."
Kazuma: "Well... like I said... we're no more likely to be attacked here than anywhere else. Eventually nowhere will be safe, unless you stop The Doctor soon. You can take... Darrell... up to the Plantation with you, and I'll stay down here with the dragons. I'll try to join up with you as soon as anymore hatch."

...

Man. This is too complicated. I guess we could do that.

The thing is, as useless as my useless older brother is, he knows a lot more about animals and genetic stuff than me. Biology is kindof his thing.
Sky Dragons are really tame, but at the same time I don't think any of us know much about controlling them. So without Kazuma it might be hard to get Darrell to actually do stuff. Kindof like a horse, who's really nice and sweet, but you don't know shit about horses.
Pretty much exactly like that, actually.

On the other hand, Kazuma's the best suited for looking after the eggs, and extra Sky Dragons would be really helpful. They're really strong and they can fly. If we got enough of them, we could probably just start brute forcing problems. ... but there's no way to tell when that would actually happen, if ever.

What should we do?

take it and have bro stay here and get more.

>>216444
Well... maybe he can give you all a quick rundown on how to train Darrell? Or write up a little manual on it?

The only better idea to accomplish both is to take Kazuma with you and help train Darrel how to do things and all of you how to do things with him. As soon as you can take it from there, Kazuma heads back and keeps an eye on the remaining eggs. But I have no idea how long that could take or if he'd even be up to it.

>>216444
Have Kazuma bring everyone up in the dragon, and then hand the leash over to Sue. And then someone can take Kazuma back down here to look after the eggs. I vote Jack because he seems less powerful than King, but he might not want to be separated from King.

And I don't think Kazuma could survive climbing down the outer wall on his own, even if there is no fall damage in this game.

If multiple dragons are accessible, we can use all the unused names!

How hard could riding a dragon be? You can do it--don't worry about making Kazuma come along.

*grabs popcorn*

>>216444
Ask Kazuma for a few tips on dragon taming, but let him stay behind. He's already volunteered for it, really.

There's a computer here, so you can check in with him any time you come across a computer somewhere else to see how things are going. That's how computers work, right?

Let him stay behind, but get some pointers on how to control these guys.

Oh of course. Ha.. ha.. I knew that. I did!

King: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!"
Itoh: "EYAAHH! DON'T KILL ME!"
Sue: "Leave him alone! Hey, Itoh!"
Itoh: "Oh! Sue! So you escaped, too. I managed to get away, but... That witch Misery turned me into this... And now I'm stuck here! You climbed up from the outside, didn't you? I'm deathly afraid of heights..."

I remember Itoh. He was one of the humans who came to the island with us. He's an Engineer. Of 'considerable talent' as he likes to say. He's a little concieted. But he's also completely timid. He had to ride in the middle of the helicopter and wouldn't look out the window for anything.

He specializes in... um... wiring and control systems and stuff. He was pretty cool when we first showed up, figuring out how to access all the ancient tech. But like I said, he's a total milksop, and a little self-absorbed.

Itoh: "I never should've come to this island in the first place. Oh, woe, woe is me..."

Sue: "Hey, Itoh! We're trying to rescue the Mimigas. You wanna help?"
Itoh: "And go back out there?! Hah... No way. No, I'll stay here.
Jack: "But you're stuck here! If you don't move, doesn't that mean you'll be found out eventually?"
Itoh: "Even so, it's safer than anywhere else! No, no, surely you have no use for such a pathetic, stranded little man."

... of course, when I say he's concieted, I mean he doesn't think about anyone but himself. Even when he's putting himself down, you see?

Itoh: "... listen, I won't go with you. But if you're going to go out, you can feel free to dig through these boxes. This is the storage room, so they're full of food and medical supplies, and some mechanical scrap, too. Just... leave enough for me, okay?"

>>243463
>Mechanical scrap
Dang! If only Malco were here, we could try and assemble another bomb out of this junk. Ah well.

Let's grab some first aid kits and head on to the plantation. Itoh is useless to us with the party, but he might be useful later in getting off the island. As long as we leave him here, we'll know where to find him.

It's definitely following me. Of course, the eye is made of hard... whatever it's made of, and poking it doesn't do anything. Not that I've repeatedly tried to do that or anything. It's just going to keep looking at me so there's no reason to be concerned, no matter how creepy it is.
