We might be fat and corrupt but we are a caiman in our natural habitat. Have scudbutt seal the lido deck and take them down one by one like the prehistoric terror we are.

We should be able to make off with a ton of skilled/valuable hostages prisoners alien guests and a doomsday device.

I don't think beam or laser weapons will hurt us underwater. Water would scatter the beam and it would take a poo poo load more energy then a hand held weapon has to boil off the water on the libedo deck. Channel our ancestors and take them under one by one with a croc death roll.

hi how are you


Update:

Here's the last page completed:



We get the JO Crystal and the Orgasmotron. They're both pretty handy in their own way:


Anway, we go for the stealth approach (427):


Unfortunately we're an obese, 8-foot tall lizard and we don't do stealthy all that well. We take one down and we end up in an odd battle where the Valet is heroically battling one Gemface while we're shooting at the other. We don't get the usual bonus we'd get from fighting aboard our own ship for some reason.

We take down our mark and the Valet (combat skill 4 with the Bayounet) manages to inflict a wound on his enemy before being pulverised. We wind up in a shootout with the other survivor who we gun down as well without hassle. Total energy used: 10.
:rip::rip: He was a good bird. His bloated corpse will be devoured with honor in several months' time when it is properly decomposed.

Turning to 375:


So, what next?

We'll get a new valet at the end of the system, picked randomly from the deck, including from the remaining Caimen. Unlike normal crew you don't get a redshirt in the Valet's spot, it just sits empty until you get a chance to reorganise at the end of the sector.

Here's the Starship manifest:

Upgrade SuGaBA to the superior Windows 98 operating system. We should also respond to the radio transmission in our best female voice impersonation to try and find out what they're trying to do.

This, and also search Bijoux bodies for clues, and remove their face-gems for good measure. Don't try to fake a voice on the saboteur's radio, instead click the button and mimic static with just the odd consonant to make it sound like speech transmitted with heavy interference.

Yes this.

Also, pretty sure that if we remove those gems we're ognna see sexless thresherlike creatures :( The gems are just a cover to hide their true IDs like the lil gems you can put on your pet buttholes to hide them from sigh!

This. Also I'm less suspicious of SuGaBa than I am of the Bijoux, they probably fed all the data into the ship to paralyze it. Issue the command override to SuGaBa to suspend current activity and resume defense operations.

But if the command override doesn't work, waddle to Hugh Mann's Shuttle and use its separate communication system to summon our crew.

We know from another CYOA that at this species are generally less rigid with gender identity, so we can act offended if challenged.

Don't rely too heavily on what you know of the Space Tits to anticipate the Bijoux. The Bijoux predate Space Tits by almost thirty years, and identity politics were only in their infancy when this book was published. Even if Herman S. Skull were a radical progressive (which he's obviously not), he wouldn't have the cultural consciousness we have today.
I stole a lot of elements from this book, but the Bijoux may still surprise you.

I kind of want to get SuGaBA to display a big, fake, scary self-destruct countdown clock on all displays across the ship and make extremely ominous announcements every minute regarding the imminent destruction of the Supergalactic and the death of every living creature in a 5 AU radius.

Once we get it to stop crunching those numbers, I mean.
