Help BIP learn gun?


:siren:Today Is A Learning Update:siren:

BIP was dead certain of what he should do. He decided to search out the captain. The transport shook violently as BIP traveled out the door to a smaller section. It had two doors on either side of him, and one straight ahead. Just as BIP was about to run on, he noticed a ladder beside the door on the left. The hatch at the top was open. The captain must have gone up there!



BIP ran up and tried to climb the ladder. The terrible shaking knocked BIP to the floor several times before he remembered to activate his magnetism. It was much easier to climb after that.



BIP emerged from the hatch, and discovered the source of the commotion. Enemy air craft had come in over the ridge of cliffs and were strafing over the convoy. Triton ships were screaming past, laying waste to each attacker before they could get within range of the ground vehicles. A small army of locals with a few large walking machines were advancing. Triton bombs were keeping them at bay as well.



The Captain stood, gripping the hand rail that encircled the dome they were in. He was talking to himself...no wait. There was something else. BIP could almost sense a kind of trail leading from West. Yes that was is. A radio signal. No, several. They extended from him like the web of a spider. He was talking to quite a few people it seemed.

(BIP discovered Radio Vision)

The Captain spun around when he noticed BIP standing behind him.

"God drat! BIP I said stay where you were! It's dangerous as all hell up here! What are you doing?"

BIP sheepishly pointed to the datapad the captain had hooked to his belt.

"Oh, sorry little guy. I know, I ran off with it by accident. Here you can have it back. You had a reading comprehension program running in the background so I turned it to the next page for you." The captain passed the datapad back to BIP.

(BIP re-obtained Data Pad)

More words! BIP greedily snatched the pad and began to read it over.



There were a few words with picture aid. BIP had a little trouble understanding these ones but managed to learn them well enough.

(BIP learned the words, Run, Hide, Give, Take, Love, Hate, Share, Do, Read, Friend, Enemy, Space, and Time)

It was a lot to digest. BIP Tried to remember all his words.

-------BIP'S WORDS--------
Yes, No, Danger, Dangerous,
Spacecraft, Ship, Warning,
Help, Doctor, Go, City, Town,
Marine, Gun, Learn, Data, EF,
Weapon, Oil, Mechanic, Memory,
Blue, Labs, Bioengineering, BIP,
Run, Hide, Give, Take, Love,
Hate, Share, Do, Read, Friend,
Enemy, Space, Time.

What a mighty vocabulary he was developing. So proud!

The Captain broke BIP's chain of thought with a sudden order.

"BIP! The battle is getting to close to the convoy. I've called in reinforcements but it's dangerous up here. Let's get inside. Before we do anything else, take this." The Captain handed BIP a canister.

(BIP received Canister)



You've proven you can take care of things of importance, and what's in there is very important. Hide it, and yourself. I'll come find you once we get to the Plethora. Your bug is in the back of this transport. Got all that?

BIP nodded and saluted West. As he turned to leave, a ship plummeted downward toward the convoy. They had failed in their assault and were suicide bombing their ships in a last ditch effort to cripple the Earth Front. BIP watched in horror as the ship loomed closer and crashed into their trackless train. The Captain managed to grab the hand rail in time, but poor BIP's arms just weren't long enough. He crashed through the dome like a bullet, and went sailing through the air.



BIP saw the horror on The Captains face. Six months flashed before his eyes. He needed to think faster then he was traveling toward the ground, or it would be offline forever. He didn't even know if Oil City was real anyway.

BIP needed to assume a position, and quick! Aerial acrobatics was his only hope of survival now.

OPTIONS:

(1) Styx
(2) Rolling Stone
(3) ZZ Top
(4) Triumph
(5) Jefferson Airplane

Jefferson Airplane is your best bet. BIPS arms will slow him down, his legs will take the brunt of the force, and he'll survive with his torso and his head intact. He might need a new set of legs...

Triumph looks good too. The appendages will create drag and the head is somewhat protected.

Why, yes, I do like Kirby games.
We need to distribute the impact as evenly as possible, or we might break a part off-- and what if that's our head?

Let's get rolling like a Rolling Stone.

It's gotta be the Stones. Whatever Bip is made of is kinda rubbery, so he should be able to bounce & roll his way to freedom.

I'm just imagining him doing the Jefferson airplane and doing a faceplant. That would be both hilarious, and bad....

Thus I vote rolling stone. Or maybe the device will be like the other one... and we get a bubble! Please let there be a bubble :ohdear:

If I learned anything from Ocarina of Time it's that if you're falling from a high distance you have to roll when you hit the ground to not take any damage. Rolling Stone will save the day! While we wait to get to the bottom we should do all the other poses just for fun, and Triumph after we land unhurt.

Edit: Do the new words go into the song challenge?

Triumph - Hope our stretched out arm finds something to hold on to, doing an awesome cliffhanger move, limiting the impact, followed by a Rolling Stone.
