Okay, we're going to basically reset our crapulence here and prep for the endgame: Celebrate the new peerage/lands/loot granted to our feudal underlings on the new (soon to be wrecked) planet in a sphinx blood feast served by Bijoux slaves.

Blood feast, disproportionately petty reprisals and looting. Not necessarily in that order. How long do we have in the system before we should jump?

On further thought - the rest of the population might not take the death of their empress well and might resist our Also we should find out how these chumps know so much about our enemies when we know nothing.

It wants us dead, but, its programming prevents it from being able to directly harm us or allow harm to come to us. BUT, if in the middle of an exchange of cultural information, SuGaBa happens to mention some useful information that will make it easier to negotiate with us, and then allows itself to be powered down for awhile for "repairs", well, it certainly can't blame itself if we go and get ourselves killed.

Have them install components, refuel and fix the ship. Take as many as we can as "servants" really to be eaten later. Hit the planet with the Meson Beam Cutter.

Looks like blood feast plus taking some slaves and general exploitation. Unfortuately we can't take random aliens on as crew without the "We Come in Peace" expansion which involves coming in peace at least once per adventure. If you're not satisfied with the blood feast for revenge then systematic solar system-wide xenocide is an option following that, assuming we have the time and inclination to do so. Update pretty soon in the scheme of things.

Man, blood feast and revenge are great ideas, but I get the feeling we really need to repair the ship and see if we can get any last minute upgrades from either the dead Sphinx or the half-finished intergalactic ship the gem dudes were building. We're getting close to end game and I'd rather get there at full power with a few surprises we can pull from our sleeves than roll in with our half-busted ship and a possibly murderous AI at the helm. We need to spend at least a little time on repairs/upgrades and if anyone has an idea about getting to the bottom of the SuGaBa situation we should explore it. Then again - we are fat and crapulent little crocodilians, so it might be suitable if we just eat our way through this system and stumble on to the next one. Easy come easy go.

It's like a skink in crocodile clothing, the huffy traitor. I think something bad is going to happen with the hunk of junk, but I don't know that there is anything we can do about it until SuGaBa reveals its intentions.

I don't think we should xenocide the planet. If they can slow the threshers down even a day with their dumb gem corpses, it could be the line between victory and defeat.

Spare the aliens, but wire the planet's nuclear energy plants together into a giant bomb and leave it as a booby trap for the threshers.

We'll get to hear all about the AI's feelings very soon, don't worry. Mexican Deathgasm posted:Spare the aliens, but wire the planet's nuclear energy plants together into a giant bomb and leave it as a booby trap for the threshers. The book offers this sort of option pretty regularly but it's a trap designed to waste your time. Nothing slows the Threshers down. I'm only telling you this because dying from running out of time is less entertaining than the other ways we can get killed. Update Yesterday's complete page:  We're getting the crew back together so we can have the Blood Feast. 200:   Well, we broke that. Our dangerous swashbuckling earns us a stat increase: the captain goes from bad to nearly adequate. We hold the feast at last. (9):  Two days go by, it's now day 28. We don't need to worry about our crew ripping the hull apart looking for spare change which is a pleasant change. Here's the gem:  Not particularly useful right this second. Anyway, do we want to listen to the Bijou or just eat them all? And what do we do next? Starship manifest:

Energy is always a worry at this point in the game but there are a couple more places we can fill up on the way. The ship isn't badly damaged and the crew is depleted but not dangerously so. All in all it could be worse.

I know our captain has developed some new abilities but I'm pretty sure empathising with computers isn't one of them. I'm not saying we can't do it, I'm just saying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTVzSq81wCs

Let him speak but be suspicious of anything he says. Remember how these treacherous alien scum took advantage of our trusting and generous nature before. We held out the hand of interstellar friendship to them and they stabbed it in the back. (for all they knew, we weren't going to scam them)

I, for one, don't give a poo poo about SuGaBa's feelings. I already know it wants us dead or subservient to it.  Fake edit: That's not a spoiler, just a guess. I'm the paranoid type. I never actually read this book all the way through.

Welp looks like we're going to listen to the servant and have a heart to heart with SuGaBA. I'm starting to wonder if the posters ITT are really a bunch of evil, cold-blooded crocodiles or if they're just a bunch of filthy warm-blooded apes. Update relatively soon.

Update Yesterday's page completed:  We're feeling kind or lazy, so we condescend to listen to the gemface (351):  Here are the Bijou Slaves we can add if we want:  They take up an extra crew slot on missions but might actually win fights sometimes. There are only two of them though - if they are both killed we'll still get the engineering bonus but no more heavies. Moving on, we've decided that we care about SuGaBA all of a sudden, for whatever reason. Turning to 124:  Yeah well, that ended about as well as expected. The captain put all his feelings on the line only to have them stomped on. He's sad now. I hope you're happy. Now to get out of here (453):  We are here (Media):  We've got no repairs we can make and no CRAPULENCE check to worry about The Captain is in really bad shape and if he dies it's game over. There are two ways to restore health - spend 10 ENERGY to recover each wound, or eat the valet to regain all of them. We could also do neither and try to wing it. Before we proceed I need to know: a) Do we want the slaves or the health boost? b) Where to: Mintaka (the system with the crab people civilisation) or Chertan? c) How fast are we going to go there? As slow as possible, max speed using our radioactive JO crystal upgrade, or somewhere in between? optional - d) Should we patch up the Captain? If so do we use some ship's energy (10 per injury, up to 30) or eat the valet for a full and instant recovery As a reminders, this is our current Starship manifest: Edit: Thank you Applewhite for your work in this gratuitously brutal sector!

There's one thing I forgot - the Captain is in really bad shape and if he dies it's game over. There are two ways to restore health - spend 10 ENERGY to recover each wound, or eat the valet to regain all of them. We could also do neither and just hope we don't get shot at before some kindly alien patches the Captain up out of the goodness of its hearts.
