I try Super Fisting the doc once the door's busted. It goes a lot like before! Mothbot pops out when I mention I'm gonna kill 'im, and then shit goes nutso when I try to attack, but I get more time to see Mothbot prep its guns before the explosion. So I go back to how I did it the first time. If I want to kill Dr. Fungus myself, I can't do it in front of the juiced-up killbot or it'll retaliate.
...
>Look for loot, use the stairs
While I search the place, I overhear snippets of Zorgo's end of the conversation.
"You left your escort behind? Such confidence!" "HAH! You don't expect me to believe..."
Meanwhile, I find a storeroom, beds, showers, and a locker room.
I get 55 krels and a body armor!
I don't seem to be using many items on this mission, thanks to Josie... There's some other stuff here, like a weird lumpy ball that's probably for some sport, a sword, -
>-vwiii-crash! Boom!-
I look out the door to see that Josie's shot down the monitor and it exploded. Looks like it was comin' this way.
"We got more comin.' Ready to move on?"
"Yep! Let's take the stairs."
"Roger that." We pass by the big robot Josie's gun came off of. The gun's still scraping as she drags it around, but this time it's also leaving a trail of body fluids.
"This must be your work." They look impressed at Josie's axe impalement.
"Yup. This guy seems down for the count, but I'm not sure if any of the guys we took out back there are gonna stay down after we leave, so we might get to kill them again. And that wasn't all the combat personnel..."
"The announcement may have only been broadcast on this level."
"Right. Need to use the toilet?" She points to the bathroom.
"No."
"Before we go farther, there's a piano with a locked box on the end. I was hoping you could open it in case it has something cool inside!"
"Oh, he's THAT kind of jerk with a bunch of resources, huh... Pfft..."
"You know what it is?"
"I'm almost positive I do. You two stay out of the room while I open that box." We wait. She goes into the music room rips the box open with her hands! "Yup, 19 keys. It's a Boîte Diabolique."
"What's that!"
"It's got the 19 forbidden notes. I only know about it because I have a bard friend who's surprisingly obnoxious. He got a piano with one of these, and he was sooo excited to show me how it sounded! He made his own ears bleed just to pull a prank on me... What a guy~"
"Uh."
"Yeah see they're locked in a damn box for a reason. It didn't make my ears bleed, but boy he got me with that one!" She rips the box off the piano entirely. "In fact, I'm going to keep this." She puts it in a pocket. "And prank him with it..."
"Wait, was it Broglevo?"
"Sure was."
"Ooh, you gotta let me know how that goes! That bitch needs some prankin'!"
"Sure. Found any other fun objects I can use for my numerous schemes?"
"I don't think so!"
"Maybe on the next level."
>-fzew-
Geez, the hall turret didn't even beep before she took it out! And she didn't even look around the corner before shooting it.
"Your proficiency with firearms is... astonishing."
"Thank you, thank you." She does a bow.
>-thudthudthudthud-
We make it up the stairs, big gun in tow, and open the door to the next level. I shoulda worn more clothes, 'cause it's colder here than it was on the lower level! Wow I can see my breath! I hope it's just this room, 'cause boy this ain't nice!
We come into a cozy sitting room with a purple carpet, some chairs and side tables, some... heads of people mounted on the wall... Must be Zorgonok's idea of a nice place to have a chat!
There's a button that says 'open door,' so I press that and it opens the door on the far side of the room. We start to walk over there, but the floor is all sticky! I'm slowed way down, and Josie can't carry her gun across! Aki can leap over on the furniture, but the door closes before I get like a quarter of the way to the other side of the room.
How can we get across? I've got a lot of items!
Pickaxe that turns me into a dwarf
Decorative skull
Zappy extendo spear
Ghost costume
Portable Tunnel Deployer
Slime Grenade
Trip Gun with 4 uses
Photo from Zorgonok's past
Chalk and a chalk eraser
Sulphagne, which grants temporary dematerialization eye beams
Hamfuzz, which is just super soft and I should sell it later
Friendium Paranoiathol, which I don't know what it does
and Inspirational Ink, which I don't know either!
Plus a Caster Gun with a Fist bullet and a Holy bullet that I'm saving for Zorgonok.
