Analyze the giant and find a way to become its new head.

Clearly, our ship's cloaca was meant to unite with the alimentary tract. The resulting cosmic farts may be the only way to stop the aliens. Of course, we will have to find appropriate upgrades and digestive material in other systems.

Eat the delicious Space God

Putting our baser urges aside to humor a machine, or even putting our baser urges aside for the long term good of our civilization just doesn't feel right.

We have a prime cut of meat just floating in space and we have a great victory to celebrate. Sure, we had two parties so far, but they were both rallying/morale parties. This would be our first celebration. In Caiman culture, the two parties have different names and are considered completely different things.

And if there's no bonus for hitting every possible party along the way as the Caimen, there sure as heck should be.

there's about 12 different occasions for parties in the caiman culture, each with its own unique style. there would be even more types of parties if caimans weren't so stupid and unimaginative

See what SugarBoar has to say before we decide to eat that big ol bitch. If we decide to eat it and can't finish it all, just strap it to the top of the ship or stuff it in the trunk or something. Also, our most crapulent crew member gets the drink umbrella just in case we hadn't decided that yet. Pew, I think.

We should also figure out a way to heal up our captain for the next time we need him to go on another away team. Our ship will regain energy on its own, right? I would like to be in fighting trim before we hit the rest of the void racer ships.

And, of course, our battlebot is definitely going on every away team. Robodude looks like an rear end kicker.

hi how are you


Split 13 to 13.

Both options are good things and completely in character for the Caimen. On the one hand they like eating rotting things and doing bugger all for days. On the other they like letting their computer do the thinking for them while they scratch their asses. It's up to you to decide which impulse prevails.

It's really a win/win because all the effects are pretty good and also it involves messing around with corpses and either flying around with a corpse or stuffing the ship literally full with corpsemeat. We also didn't have to kill this thing ourselves which is nice.

Probably won't have the update ready until roughly this time tomorrow so I'll keep an eye on the count in the meantime.

It's a choice-based game and it hasn't been very friendly to "both options" so far. Taking the robot abandoned the crew members automatically. Pretty sure we can't have our giant space-man and eat him too.

I already voted, but I'm still for eating the corpse. This loser got wasted by the Discobots, so chaining his carcass to our ship won't be as good as all that. If he was really some grand cosmic power, he wouldn't be dead. But he is clearly unusual and delicious.

Just think of the Space-God-scams we can run if we are driving the corpse around! I bet it gives a bonus to initiative in space combat, too, as opponents are stunned by the sight of a vengeful space god doing probably suggestive things at it flies toward them.

SuGaBA's god scam is the thing that we're doing. Stay tuned.

This. Gamebooks traditionally didn't allow for this approach, mainly because you'd have no incentive to replay the things otherwise. Void Racers isn't particularly unusual in this way and at least it isn't crammed with "do you want to go to the blue planet or the red planet" options where if you pick the wrong planet you miss some vital clue you need to finish the game. You just get better or worse stuff and sometimes something one-shots you, which is marginally less annoying.

We might catch up with that guy later on if we go the right way up ahead.

Update:

Lat page complete:


We're going to let SuGaBA do his thing (158):


In the chaos, LUXURY YACHT attacks! We put him down extremely hard, using 4 of the cap'n's energy in the process (he's down to 30 now). Luxury Yacht is permanently mauled. He's out for the next 4 days and even after he's healed up he'll have -1 to all stats. That'll teach him to jump the captain I guess. In the meantime some redshirt jabroni takes over engineering.

Crapulence ticks up by 3 - Garrrrrn and Luxury Yacht both fail, and Luxury Yacht's "ability" causes Crocheart to go up too. We're on 13 now which is starting to get a bit iffy. Those crocs were really looking forward to some blood pudding.

But we have a new toy:


It's a pretty effective and gross weapon, but you can only use it once in a starship battle. Let me know if you want to use it at some point. It might also come in handy scaring impressionable aliens.

Anyway, what now? Obvious options are heading down to the planet or leaving the system, but perhaps you have another idea?

Also, lol at Luxury Yacht trying to attack us. I bet we punched his polystyrene jaw clean off.
