Close the locker.
Don't lose sight of Andersen.
What is he doing now?

>>41517158
Quickly rip off bunny boy's gag and whirl to look at Anderson.

>>41517158
Ungag and ask, who did this to you?

You search for Anderson, but he is gone.
You didn't even hear the door open.

The bunny hops out of the locker, still gagged and bound.

>>41517202
Ungag him, but do not untie his limbs.

>>41517202
Ungag him and at least make sure his legs are free.

Hurry with bunny towards air lock before Anderson does something.

>Ruby Quest
>IN SPAAAACE
I am very okay with this.

>>41517202
Examine Bunny. Age? Sex? Facial expression? Any visible wounds, scars, or discolorations? How does the rabbit feel about his/her mother?

>Ungag him, but do not untie his limbs.
Using your trusty Butterknife you cut his gag.
Well, you try. The thing isn't very sharp.
You end up simply untying it.

>Examine Bunny
Male, young, looks scared. No scars or wounds.

>Ask, who did this to you?
He answers that he doesn't know.

He asks you to please unbind him.

>>41517258
Ask his name and what his occupation on this ship is.
Ask how long he's been in there.
Ask who the engineer is.
Well, whatever, we need a friend.
Unbind him.

>>41517258
So what's your name? I hope you and the armadillo weren't close.

So, this is the Happening Skyline, and I responded to an urgent distress signal from here. Did you send it? Are you in distress?

>untie

>>41517258
What's the last you remember then?

Hurry back to the ship together.

>>41517258
This looks more like a mugging than a rescue.

Tell him that we're here investigating a distress call, and that so far one crew member is dead, another is ominously cryptic, and you were bound and gagged in a closet. We would like to trust him, but it would be very dangerous to do so without some information. What is going on here?

>deep space emergency beacon

>>41517324
We have killed no one so far.
Hell, we have yet to even wound anyone.

Anon was just really racist against pointy nosed guys, okay.

>Ask his name and what his occupation on this ship is.
Jack, weapon's officer.

>Ask how long he's been in there.
A few hours. He banged his head against the door, but no one came.

>Ask who the engineer is.
He looks at you weirdly and answers that you should know that. The Happening Skyline wasn't supposed to stop to pick anyone, so you should be one of my crewmates, right?

>I responded to an urgent distress signal from here. Did you send it? Are you in distress?
He tells you that he was, but the only signal he sent was his banging his head against the wall.

>What's the last you remember then?
He remembered the Captain saying that they were going to activate the new engines, then he was here.

>Tell him that we're here investigating a distress call, and that so far one crew member is dead, another is ominously cryptic, and you were bound and gagged in a closet. We would like to trust him, but it would be very dangerous to do so without some information. What is going on here?
He tells you he doesn't know. He is a weapon's officer. He knew only that thismission was secret and dangerous, nothing else.

>Unbind him.
You do just that and he thanks you.

He searches through his pockets and finds a flashlight, which he tells you wasn't there before.

>>41517334
In anon's defense, all the pointy nosed guys we've run into have been dicks.

>>41517340
Introduce him to the gruesome scene of armadillo's demise.

>>41517340
Ask him about ammo for the gun we have, we might need more. Do not let him know we have none. Also, exit the bridge.

>>41517340
Check the cockpit controls, see if they show that our ship is docked, see if there's any anomalies, the fuel levels, and if the engine is fucked.
Ask if he has authorization to access the door on the right.
If yes, enter it.
If no, go back to the room that Andersen presumably went to.
Also ask if he has any bullets on him, being a weapon's officer and all.
Tell him that since it seems like something iffy is going on, we think it'd be best if we worked together, but that requires some degree of trust, can he trust us?

>>41517340
So, did you know an...armadillo...?

You didn't answer. Who's the main engineer?

>>41517340
>>41517387
>Also ask if he has any bullets on him, being a weapon's officer and all.
Guns or bullets, that is, so we don't look suspicious.
Also he didn't answer our question about the engineer.

>>41517373
Don't mention the gun yet.

>>41517387
No, backtrack first.

>>41517340
>He remembered the Captain saying that they were going to activate the new engines, then he was here.
Ah, the ship probably went through an evil parallel universe and got haunted by evil spirits, and now no one remembers what they did when they were possessed.

It's a surprise that he isn't wounded, what with all the headbanging he had to do. He must be pretty resilient.

What were the ship's coordinates when the new engine was activated, and what are they now? Or its general location, if he doesn't remember that exactly.

It's odd that Anderson didn't do anything to help. Is he up to something?

We should probably warn him that one of the crew killed himself in the other room. It would be worse if he found the body without knowing.

>>41517340
Follow Anderson.

>>41517397
>"Would you happen to have any shooty bits for this gun I fou- have?"
>pull the trigger on the red-flecked firearm to show that it is empty

>>41517431
Why not just ask if he has any guns/bullets/ammo in general?

>>41517431
>implying that we didn't find the gun, but had it in the first place
>implying that we were the one to kill the guy in the next room
kek
>>41517340
Ask if he knows anything about some sort of purple goo, and if he knows what is in the crates over in the other room.

>>41517438
To be serious, I think it's a toss-up between using the gun as a bluff to discourage any funny business, or revealing that we're unarmed so that he lets his guard down.

>Check the cockpit controls
From what you can see, all systems are working as intended. There is a section called S. Drive which you don't have permission to access, and some other areas that you also can't acess.

>Ask if he has authorization to access the door on the right.
He tells you he should have, but his access card is not with him.

>ask if he has any bullets on him
He tells you that he fires the ship's guns, not handheld ones. He should have specified. He apologises.

>You didn't answer. Who's the main engineer?
Anderson. Never met him.

>can he trust us?
Well, you did unbind him when you could have killed, so he says that for now he trusts you.

>Ask if he knows anything about some sort of purple goo,
No

>and if he knows what is in the crates over in the other room.
He heard someone complain about there being too many terraforming equipments, but he doesn't remember who.

>We should probably warn him that one of the crew killed himself in the other room.
You tell him about the armadillo. He says he didn't know him.

>Introduce him to the gruesome scene of armadillo's demise.
You go back to the interscetion.

There is something here.

>>41517512
I was expecting the body to be gone, not..

NOPE

NOPENOPENOPE

Retreat, retreat to the airlock!

>>41517512
GTFO

>>41517512
Okay, does that look like it's an entity separate from the body that came to feed on it, or does it look like that thing IS the body and it grew/mutated or something?
Is it moving?
If it's not moving, try to access Engineering.
If it's moving, go through the left door and try to lock it, maybe pry off the control panel.
Once safe-ish, tell Jack that the guy that killed himself said "I won't go back. You can't make me go back." and "You simply can't make me go back" and that he seemed solemn, not scared or angry.
Could it be that he got infected by some alien parasite thing and it was talking through him, or maybe it was causing him to hallucinate?

It looks like it didn't really like having it's meal interrupted.

Towards the airlock, go.
Is that Anderson?

Pardon me, sir - or is that madam? Terribly sorry about the intrusion. We'll just be taking our leave. You do you.

You run out of the door, and as Jack passes you hear a loud crack before the door closes.

He tells you he broke the door cotrol on his way out.
He asks if you know that guy and that if you did he really doesn't want to meet the rest of your friends.

You hear a heavy thud against the door, and the metal bends outwards.

You unanimously decide that you should get the fuck out.

>>41517669
Go back to your ship.

>>41517583
Mother of god, it has the power of a 1-pixel wide white forcefield around itself! We don't stand a chance!

>>41517669
rub things together to make fire, burn xeno scum.

>>41517669
Enter airlock.
OR
Enter that door with the computer and vent, since we now have a flashlight and can presumably navigate it somewhat decently, but that MIGHT just lead to more monsters.

>>41517675
>someone busted the connecting umbilical cord
>there is one spacesuit and two of us

>>41517669
Realize that according to what we know of spatial geometry, the vent in the door over would lead into the room with the monster in it, yet that would mean that the door to engineering leads to nowhere.

>>41517669
Leave with our new companion if he wants to come.

You run to your ship. You are not staying another minute on this ship.

As you pass the window, though, you can't help but stop.

The Umbilical cord is no more.

Well, I now realize >>41517716 was more of an out of character info request, since the MC would probably know this but we as players don't, ah well.
Thanks for the thread OP, it was enjoyable.
Any estimation on when you will be running next?
What's your time zone?

>>41517741
The shutters could be closed

>>41517676
All of the characters have that, you goober. It is clearly standard issue in the space future.

>>41517725
"To be continued"? Or "continued in the next post"?

Holy hell, I've been running this thing for over seven goddamn hours.

>>41517741
Artistic oversight.

Comments or sugestions? I'll probably continue it the day after tomorrow, at the same time, 3am UTC.

>>41517749
>What's your time zone?
UTC-3, so it is about 7am for me. I started running midnight.

>>41517764

To be continued. The sleep deprivation is strong.

Good thing Jack wields a flashlight.
