It is possible that the Avatar Bandito is just an urban myth. Like a forums scapegoat used so that everyone can buy themselves a robot sex avatar. I like my avatar though so I don't want to push my luck. Also, shame on you ZeeToo! The female marine is in no condition to have her world totally rocked.

HardDisk posted:Can we somehow ask the marine why would he want us to blow the green thing up? It appears to be some sort of automatic force field projector that prevents energy/damage from passing. Thus BIP while inside the field could impact the ground without energy transfer from the ground to little robot, and the grenade's explosion was curtailed at the extent of the field's projection. Of course, that might be only one of its tricks. Besides that, to our hero it's still just an important device, I don't think BIP's spent too much processing power thinking about it yet. So yeah maybe waving a datapad picture of it in front of the marine will get him to talk about it.

Lorak posted:Recover the Nice Rock, first of all. Any rock with capital letters is vital to our success. I second this. Head towards the caves and get the wounded some shelter, hopefully finding some pods on the way. Maybe one will have a doctor or a first aid kit/robot. The marine obviously knows why the city is hostile and why the ship went down. Ask him on the way to the caves, helps pass the time.

Update will come tomorrow first chance I get. Not closing the voting though as I wan't to give people a chance to get caught up. As for recent news. The CYOA GBS drama has got me worried. I pray that BIP survives the coming CYOA inquisition. A little  at the thought of the thread getting gassed or whatever may come. Maybe too beautiful for this world. I've done well in a weeks time though. No regrets.

Head for the nearest escape pod. The pods seem to be equipped with medical supplies, whereas a cave will have none. Plus an empty pod will serve as shelter as well, provided the inside isn't painted with blood & body parts. Anyone not too injured to explore can accompany BIP out to explore more afterwards, in search of more survivors and a Captain.

Until I randomly dropped by QCS today to see what was going on with the "no more Helldump" stuff I'd been hearing about, I didn't realize anyone disliked the CYOA games that much. It would be a shame to see them stuffed off to somewhere with less "foot traffic".

 UPDATE A hasty drawing on the data pad revealed BIP's intentions. The marine bent down to study the plan.  BIP had decided to send the humans to safety while he searched other pods for help. It was quite evident that the mushy skin people would not survive an expedition and needed to stay put. Even the marines couldn't hide the physical stress they were under. The marine began to argue but BIP furiously tapped the pad with his little hand. Grudgingly the one armed marine accepted the plan upon BIP's insistence. BIP approached the female marine with his data pad and showed her an image he had drawn of a city with the words "City Dangerous?" written under it.  She took a quick glance and continued to put parts of her armor on. BIP stood and waited. Eventually she stopped and spoke up. "The city then? It's dangerous. For us. Probably for you too. The people there are not...quite right." She tapped her temple as she said this. "Needless to say, this isn't OUR planet. We don't belong here and the people who DO aren't about ready to roll out the red carpet for our arrival. That's all you need to know." BIP nodded and got to work. He decided on an attempt to heal the humans minor wounds with hug therapy. Hugs were administered to all humans, willing or not.  As BIP was hugging unwilling humans, he spied the rock he had used to draw in the sand. He was strangely compelled to take it with him, as if unseen hands demanded it so. He reached out and received it from its resting place on the ground. (BIP has obtained Nice Rock)  Before BIP left, the marines approached him as he was mounting his faithful steed Go-Ship, which he could clearly remember naming. The male marine spoke first. "Before you head out. I don't know what you're going to find, but chances are things are going to be dangerous. Take this." The marine handed BIP two grenades. (BIP received (x2)Grenades) The female marine spoke next. "If you find anyone else out there, make sure they're from Earth Front. They'll have this insignia somewhere with them if they are." She pointed to the star symbol on her armor. "If they check out, then tell them where we are. Here is the co-ordinates of the area we're heading to." (BIP received Earth Front Tracker) "That thing will map your route as you travel, as well as display the direction of Earth Front signals. It's a protected channel so don't worry about false readings or being tracked. The map will only display areas you've been so don't rely on it too heavily." BIP took the EFT and studied it. It was quite easy to operate. It had magnets on the back so he attached it to his side. BIP threw up a salute and grabbed onto his yo-yo reins. With a little kick Go-Ship began to skitter off into the darkness. BIP took out his data pad and jotted down "Yes Help Marine", "City Dangerous" and "Go Doctor" before putting it away. He continued on for a few hours in the darkness, following a signal to the east.  He was distracted by a noise in the distance. It was mechanical and loud. It was getting louder. BIP slowed Go-Ship to a halt and surveyed the darkness, panic eating him away. He wished deeply that he could see what was making the noise. It got closer and closer until it was all around him. BIP shook in fear and opened an eye. Suddenly the world lit up and BIP could see. (BIP has discovered night vision)  Oh poo poo oh poo poo oh poo poo. BIP succumbed to panic. What is that thing? It had halted it's advance a few meters in front of BIP as if studying him and his faithful beetle. BIP clutched the string of his yo-yo in disbelief. The Earth Front signal pinged off in the distance, a good ten minuets away. The giant metal creature was blocking the way. Oh no! What should BIP do? (1)Attack! (2)Panic & Run! (3)Surrender! (4)Close Eyes! Edit: You can elaborate on each option with a "How I think he should do it" description and I will take note of good ideas.

Plan A: Oh Sweet Jesus, Run! And Panic while we run! That robot is huge, and chances are it could take out BIP in one laser burst. That said, before fleeing like a small animal (complete with a strategic zig-zagging motion), BIP should make a quick check for the Earth Front logo on the robot somewhere. If it's part of the same organization, BIP should execute Plan B: Surrender. If the robot is friendly, it could go protect the battered marines or help BIP with his mission.

If this mysterious giant metal creature wanted to attack Bip, it would probably have already done so. If it doesn't seem to be doing much, it must be trying to figure out how to deal with a robot riding a large bug using a yoyo as reigns (as I'm sure I would as well) and there's a possibility that it's from the Earth Front and is having a day much like Bips. Stare it down and if it starts to do something scary, draw "WARNING, BIP DANGEROUS." on the data pad and hold it up. If it continues doing scary things, shut your eyes.

I have finished the first of the BIP soundtrack songs. I've decided to try and fit multiple updates that occur in the same location in to one song meaning I can a) catch up and b) write more interesting songs. I know this track is a little word heavy but that's just because it's the intro. The next track will feature a lot less dialogue and more music/lasers/explosions/oh god it's going to take so long. Here's track one: If anyone can think of a better album name than 'BIP Soundtrack' I'm all ears! SUPER BONUS - Want to be in the next song? Just record the lines "EMERGENCY! LIFE SUPPORT TO DECKS FOUR AND FIVE HAVE BEEN TERMINATED. ALL CREW ON THOSE DECKS EVACUATE TO THE ABOVE AND BELOW DECKS. WE HAVE LOST ACCESS TO THE ENGINE ROOM, PLEASE STAND BY FOR EMERGENCY LANDING! A MARINE TEAM IS HEADING TO THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM ON DECK THREE, DO NOT INTERFERE OR INTERRUPT THEIR WORK." in your best angry tannoy announcer voice, send me a PM with a link to the file and I'll include it in the intro to the next song. Record it cleanley though and I'll make it sound tannoy-like afterwards. Alea Minerva fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Jun 13, 2009 |
