Badass Dragon Scavengers of the Void - Round 3 - Swan's Way

Smashin eels is what I’m all aboot!

With some minor upgrades I think we only need three of our more POW POW mates to make sure no one else takes any unnecessary eel damage.

I will gladly volunteer, but I will need some extra juice to do so. I have 34Ʉ juice on hand, and need 31 more juice (paid back 1:1) so I can repair 2x and buy a blaster. I would feel really really self assured if I can buy two blasters. And I would hope that anyone who comes away with outlandish credits would help me restore my debts to maintain some balance. Not only would we get to our 80POW more easily, my fighting would be greatly enhanced by the balance on my rack with two blasters. That being said - at asking 56Ʉ , it is a bit beggardly so I will happily go forth with 31 and takes those eels to task from hoof to rack to my very long teeth.

Also - for those of you who like to spend your time doing the maths…if we only send three hardy individuals on Mission 1 we can definitely tilt the total profit scales in our favor.

I see that we already have two Mission 1 vols, and based on their purchases, if I get the Ʉ backing I am looking for we will hti our 3xMission 1 need to clear the way for all other missions to proceed without fear of sneak eel bites.

If you sign up, we’re already past 80 POW needed.(31,27,23). I would recommend prioritizing repairs. Looks like the Eels took quite a few bites out of you.

Repairs reeeshmairs - I’ll take two blasters over a few extra HP anyday. I’ll have enough HP to see me through and enough Ʉ to pay back the 36Ʉ with relative ease.

If anyone has 4Ʉ to spare, I can afford some armor plate. I can give you 6Ʉ back after those eels are grilled.

This ONE WEIRD TRICK will help you kill eels! Astrozoologists HATE this!

Excellent choice!

Your 21 HP means that all of the missions are risky for you. The eels alone might do you in. With Mission Five, you’ll dodge the eels and most likely come back rich and famous!

Good luck!

Sure, but on eel missions I could have at least patched my suit.

"Thhhh…Normally I’m a glory-whore, I ain’t gonna lie. But I gotta know what’s “extraordinary” about extraordinary salvage. I mean, “extraordinary”!

"But first lemme pay off an old debt. Think we’re square now, @newliminted?

"Then I’m-a just drop the Phat-Ass Space-Bouncey 5000 off at the ship’s tailor, so they can wire it for the necessary plumbing.

“And now. Now. Now I’m-a sit my herp ass down at the Mess, eat the motherlovin’ mess out of some space-eel-steak! Does the Liqui-Vend dispense Kuypers-57 sauce?”

We made it, @SteampunkBanana! That was some fancy navigating in there, Watney. Glad we teamed up on that mission. That tethering apparatus worked out very well! All things considered, I didn’t even mind your running commentary about Mars and potatoes and fertilizers and compost and… Anyway, you’re a good egg, human.

My post-radiation-exposure scrub-down wasn’t too bad.

I hope they didn’t brush off too much of your epidermis, Watney.
I feel extremely itchy now. Think I’ll grab a robo-massage, then mosey over to the cantina and mull over the potential hazards involved in moving jump cores.

Awwwwwyeaaahhhhhh, that’s the stuff.

Wheeeeee! That was so fun! The eels wouldn’t tell where the space dragon is, but they did play tag with me. I won. I’m very good at tag. I’m faster than all of those eels. Except for that one. He tried to kiss me. He kisses too hard. That wasn’t very nice and he can’t come to my birthday party. But all the other eels can come. They are soooooo cute. I want a pony for my birthday, but not a pony that poops. Ponies are cute too, but not as cute as eels.

YOU"RE GOING TO EAT THEM???

NOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!!!

My Grandpa had that once. He had to sit on a doughnut. But it wasn’t a real doughnut, just a cushion that sort of looked like a doughnut.

Tuesday Mission Update

As any Prigononist knows, the path worth pursuing is upwards to greater complexity and onwards to more subtle interaction. Look around you – it’s happening!

The simplest way is “every intelligence for itself,” Simple, boring, and barely worthy of (non-sentient) slime molds. We could also have an “organizer.” Bah!! Fascist crap I left behind when I defected from the Ring.

We’ve started down a another road to complexity: Specialization.

Our three “scientists,” Mark Watney (@steampunkbanana), Theodore Rump (@newliminted), and First Omicron Nu Pi, PhD (@monkeyoh) will emerge from Mission 5 highly educated and rich: Classic “bankers” who will naturally facilitate unforeseen complexities.

Next, Spike Green Arm (@daneel) and Vi Locke (@gwwar) have already teamed up to buy blasters and protect us from eels. Galacto Hardenhoof (@rkt88edmo) Is also looking for support to join them. This creates a natural “fighter” specialization that increments complexity and raises the ancient riddle

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Other paths are open to those who seek them. So let’s each seek our own complexity.

I see room for at least one more “fighter” on Mission 1. I also predict many scavengers are going to want a high POW ally in the later missions, so now might be the time to grow an entangling web of reciprocation. If you choose to support a “fighter,” don’t be simple. A supposed “fighter” could take your U, updgrade, and then switch missions at the deadline, leaving you to fight your own eels (and feeling like a non-sentient slime mold).

I am looking to support one or more “fighters” with my spare 14U . Anyone interested? Message me.

What can we accomplish, today, together?

Meanwhile, back at the mess…

Glacto…that eel was good eating. Just like mom used to buy from the corner store. I heard you talking about the blasters. Would that I had some more juice to help out a herd brother, but I’ll be down the velvet after I repair and equip.

And, Browf, did you see what those others brought back from the bridge? Some pretty decorations and a couple of maps. We did well. I knew I should have gone to the starboard side.

Never send a plant or a robot or a robot plant to do the job of a moose.

By my antlers, I think I’m going to get some patching and padding and then go back in the crew quarters. That’s where the good stuff will be.
