the_steve posted:I regret that we didn't find the Laser Sword. I guess we took a wrong turn at Haldus or something. Oh well, another time. Update We make our repairs, taking 2 days because Mois is good at his job. Our weapons and ship upgrades are functioning again. Yesterday's page, complete:  We go for belligerent but not violent. Turning to 331:  During the repairs and the day it takes for the jump preparation, Crocmelia returns to the bridge. She now only has an Expertise of 4 and the mentor decides she's ripe for one of his lessons, reducing her Expertise to 2 at a critical time. If we were really in a hurry this would suck but it doesn't matter. We get to use her power to get a free day shaved off the trip anyway. The jump will take 14 days and cost no ENERGY. 463:  153:  We're about to emerge into the final system. Sorry but there's no choice to be made in this update because I didn't have time to get it done tonight what with guests and all. We can take it easy today, tomorrow night and the day after should be the final stretch for our crocodiles. And the starship manifest:

For some reason, it practically rains knockoff lightsabers for them, the other races only get one or two very limited opportunities to find one. The Catte ending where they think it's a laser pointer is pretty brutal. Also, awwww yeah, time to show these Threshers how an expert destroys everything in its wake.

Update Thanks for waiting. We're here:  Yesterday we checked for the aliens we'd killed and the time it took us to do that. We've wiped out the Cattes and the Disco Alliance, leaving only the humans. We've taken longer than 40 days, so the humans have gotten here first. Turning to 633:   To summarise the situation : we have 25 ENERGY (enough for roughly one solid round of combat) and 6 HULL but otherwise are in good condition. Although our ship can no longer jump we can use all our ship upgrades. The mentor is hassling the Valet so he's not going to be much use to us in this sector unless we stick around for more than a day. We're face to face with yet another alien starship and we have a bunch of stuff written on our starship manifest that might or might not mean something. And of course the goal is right there in front of us. How do we handle this? Here's the starship manifest again for reference: And for anyone who's curious, here's the human bestiary entry:

Hugh Mann should get on the comms and pretend he's commandeered our vessel to lull them into a false sense of security! Or, y'know, we could just ask him what the deal is.

Can we force a final, cataclysmic paranoia check, where the humans defeat themselves if they fail? Maybe using Hugh Mann to screw with the dude's mind?

Position our ship between the humans and the planet. That way, if they shoot us, they destroy their own people. After that, I am out of ideas!

I suspect the human is bluffing. If Hugh Mann isn't too drunk then have him hail the guy back and see if we can get more information. Get the Orgasmatron warmed up and ready to go, though, just in case.

If this guy's the last remaining human, why don't we hit the cloaca, launch a boarding party, and eat this motherfucker? Maybe we can move the ship behind the planet's gravity shadow or use the orgasmtron to buy us some extra rounds of cowardly non-combat.

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS - Agree to allow the human to serve the Caiman Empire if they will surrender. We might need that other star ship to repair our own, so we probably shouldn't just cut it in half with our fancy laser.

If we cause this guy to go into a paranoid fit, though, he's just gonna shoot at us. He was probably going to do that anyway. We should use the USSR sleeper gambit as a distraction while we send a boarding party over to murder him. That way, we get to have our paranoia cake and eat it, too.

The author of this is the biggest piece of poo poo rear end in a top hat I know, so he made the only good way out of this is the diplomatic move, which of course no self respecting Caiman would choose. What a prick.
