gurps rimworld: crash and burn

[u-b]

Chand intends to attend to th pig when it is all safe and quiet, but mostly to load it on Aerheardt and haul it back. Now though, he takes a look at Aerheardt to see which way it is facing and tries to keep his eye both on that way and on the way Doc and Alec are.

[Volthawk]

From hs position a few paces back, Alec calls out as he keeps an eye on the shadow. "Hold up a second, new guy. Either you're the target of something strange, or you've got some explaining to do." He gestures towards the man's shadow with one hand, the other still holding his carbine. "Care to explain what the hell is going on with your shadow? It's been getting worse, so if you don't know what's up..."

[JbeJ275]

Doc picks up the glove and examines it.

[bramblefoot]

myggie, your sensors have the war droid at 50 meters and then it just vanishes off scopes.

alec: the shadow wavers and vanishes after he picks up the glove. suddenly, the glove attempts to attach itself to his left hand

doc: the glove leaps onto your left hand, i'm gonna need a strength test at -4 to avoid having it attached to you like glue

chad: what are you doing in this ****show?

[Volthawk]

Alec raises his carbine and slowly backs away, unsure of what's going on but not convinced about the man's innocence in it all. "Chad, who the hell is this guy?"

[u-b]

Chad shrugs. "Some newcomer. Tells he's a doc. I suspect, one of ours, but I haven't checked."

[JbeJ275]

Doc initially tries to force the glove off but it seems to flow around his attempts at getting fingers under it, he holds out his left arm at maximum extension and raises the other in response to the carbine pointed at him. He's peering down at the arm, trying to diagnose if any har, is being done and taking a long few seconds to calm down. Eventually he draws his left arm back in, and experimentally flexes his left hand checking for any anomolous qualities.

"Hang on, I was meant to be the colony doctor but I don't know quite what this is. Have you seen any tech like this here before?"

[bramblefoot]

doc: the glove seems to be meshed with you now. a small beep emits from the glove, and you feel like you could run far and fast without dropping. can i get a iq or physician roll at -3 to see if you realize what happened to you?

alec: what's your plan now that the glove has meshed with doc?

chad. this is clearly advanced tech. gonna take a look at it after this whole debacle is over?

myggie: you see the robot moving through a small gap in the canopy. its closing fast on the party

[JbeJ275]

Physician at 20-3=17: (3d6)[10]

Doc takes a further second to come to terms with how this seems to have effected him.

[Feathersnow]

The Aerheardt's speakers go live! "IT'S COMING!" Myggie prepares the plasma jets, if she can get a clear shot.

[u-b]

The doc seems quite preoccupied with whatever it is, and Alec seems to be preoccupied with the doc, so Chad takes The Aerheardt's warning to face whatever direction The Aerheardt is facing and get ready for whatever the thing that's incoming.
