+1 to power ring, +1 to moon cannon. I believe this particular voice has not yet said anything on the matter so far.

Also it looks more like a fort than a food place from this angle. The corner spikes don't scream "welcoming" to me, but, eh, cultural differences.

It's a theme restaurant! The look is part of the appeal. People mostly go to places when they already know what the places are. Or you can look it up on a portable computer or something. Maybe YOU don't have a service that gives you information about your location like that?

>>264846
nanospray event has run its course.apply acceptance of Narus' request to impulse weight?

Trrreeeees. Yeah. Um, I think. Oh, I can ask Caplisk. "Hey Caplisk, what are those? The tall ones." he indicates the structures in question
)It's actually the same organism that makes the... poof things we just came out from. Each peak is contributed by one or more individual. They provide a home and food to some smaller organisms. A little bit like what I'm doing, actually.(
"That's cool."
)Yes, it is cool. But then, I am cool.(she says coolly

the group approaches the restaurant, entering through the huge automatic double-doors.this is primarily an eat-in restaurant, with two floors.the three are instructed by a robot to choose an unoccupied place, indicated by a lit symbol which it demonstrates to them.they find a somewhat isolated one and a robot accomodates their seating apparatuses and another soon provides menus
Ok, let's see what they have... No... ooh, that looks interesting. This one might be good. Egh. That sounds nasty. Hmm. What are you guys uh, omnivorous? Ever eat food that's living?

>>268161

Yeah, most of us. Some of us are vegetarian, but that's typically due to choice rather than necessity. As for eating live food, apart from plants and yogurt (which has microbes in it), no, nothing wriggling.

Oh, and I have a great (terrible) idea for something as a gag idea. Let's see. How do I make this thing work. +1 impulse weight to some form of air conditioning capability for us, for the sake of a terrible joke later on when it's working.

What are you doing naked Narus. You aren't being suave at all! Since you like being naked you will have to be forced into being suave out of embarrassment. +1 impulse weight to arousing Narus.

>>268161
Not exactly. You can kind of look up places, but not always, and doing it remotely is not really universal.

And yes, we're omnivorous, and--- right, someone else already answered this.

It's highly taboo to consume creatures that are still alive, assuming it's not outright illegal.
Beyond that, we can and do eat almost anything.

>>268161
Many humans eat raw oysters, which are still alive. They don't really... move though. I think that's the only case where that's true, aside from vegetation. Eating larger animals while they're still alive tends to be taboo... However there are many predators on our planet, so it's not like it's completely unknown to us.

Also considering that food here would look nothing like the animals we have on Earth I doubt it would really be disturbing... I think half the reason why it's taboo is that it's considered cruel, the other half is because 'civilized' meals on our planet are prepared beforehand. Chopped up, at least. Uh I dunno, is this enough information?

>>268371
>>268414
If it doesn't have a cerebral cortex it's fine to eat alive, there's a lot of seafood that is eaten alive (especially in Asia), and it's certainly not illegal. There's also some delicious over-fermented sheep cheese that's covered in live maggots called Casu Marzu.

>>268446
Casu Marzu is illegal in plenty of countries, albeit due to health codes.

Ok, some parts of Asia have people that eat seafood alive; and live oysters are an exception that I just flat-out forgot, but these are exceptions. In general, it's highly taboo and/or illegal to eat creatures while they are still alive.

So is the dish you picked live or not?

While you're eating, let us, the voices inside a strange device thing shaped like a ball, consider what we can do here.

We need information on the Fervylis. We intend to board one of their ships, so if we could get schematics, details, operating guidelines, anything that could help. We've already proven to have an effective means of dispatching them when they're unaware we're a threat, but it's not certain the same trick will work twice.

As far as I recall, we were working on a way to spy on these aliens in a non-noticeable manner. +1 IW to refining this. If it's currently operative, get information somehow. Spy on a ship. Don't linger too long, lest we find out the hard way we're more noticeable than we think.

"We must not ignore those anomalies. Track them. Use up to resources 3 if you have to."
"Yes."

>>272222

Oh, shit. "Anomalies" probably refers to whatever it is we're doing here to spy cross-universe distances on this particular vessel. It's less likely we'll be detected the longer we linger, though? Interesting.

+1 impulse to accelerating difficulty of detection unless doing so would be counter-intuitive and cause detection to be more likely.

If it's possible, +1 impulse to find out what those blue things are. I'm hoping they're not just locks and they're screens. If we can somehow clear the room out, maybe we could focus our remote view on one and see what would be required for some future-tech meddling in the future.

And now back to Narus. Hi Narus! Hope you're enjoying your meal. The drink's pretty good. Bit hard to put a finger on the tastes of the rest of the stuff, though. When you say never alive, though, that's intriguing. Even plants are alive. Are we talking products of natural chemical reactions simpler than life, or rock formations, or what?

I think notifying Narus of items fabricated is wise. If it's ever unwise we can declare notifying to stop happening at that time.

Narus, we created a shield device. It should cover about 90 degrees in front of you and block attacks and deflect projectiles. With the duplicated alien weapon, you should be able to stand a fighting chance if things go a little awry.

If they go a lot awry, uh, we're working on it. It's probably for the best to go for the smaller medium-security ships based on that reason. But...

Anciu: If I can work out some way to help, I'll contact you.

Adding IW to hiding Narus.

Alright, looks like we should do alright by teleporting in at the empty, important-looking room 'k', destroying whatever purpose that room serves, and then teleporting out. Although, there are more areas below the troop quarters... Well! Maybe we can just kill em all if the initial room we get to isn't actually important.

[determine if the alien weapon we copied is powerful enough to pierce the armor film we have developed for Narus]

+1 Impulse Weight to hiding Narus from scanners. Request that we do so in a way that prevents us from losing contact with him.

Please ask Narus whether he would like for us to augment his physical camouflage ability. If so, +1 IW to augmenting / improving his physical camouflage ability in speed and detail.

impulse weight registered(3) is sufficient to hide Narus from some scanning systems

What I was thinking was, if we could take out the troop ships, uh, then they wouldn't be able to defend the high security one. If that room is the key then I think that's a good plan.

weapon is powerful enough to pierce armor film on medium and high settings
That's worrying. How about that shield thing? Will that be more effective?

>>295603
Hey, that's a good idea. Go ahead! Narus' camouflage is marginally improved
I feel ready to go. Unless have more preparation ideas, I think it's time to like, bust in and wreck stuff.

>>297274
Hmm, well, the armor film does protect you a bit- the projectiles don't go very deep. I'll check the shield. Maybe we can make you an additional layer of armor in the form of loose-fitting clothes? Keep in mind that we can reactively create shields ourselves like we did in the earlier fight. Hmm, maybe we can just continuously project an air-permeable shield bubble around you?
At any rate, we are probably ready. If we have any trouble we can just keep making things as we go.

You know, in close combat, you'd be at a major advantage if they can't grab you. Which is why I propose an alteration to the armour film. Assuming it has sufficient thermal insulation, I suggest that in a dire situation, it should be able to light the exterior on fire.

Who can grapple you if you're on fire? Not even ninjas. That's who. +1 to user-invoked surface combustion feature for the armour film.

Wow! I can barely see my hand... hey there it goes. Can't see it at all. That's so wild! I think like, I could look invisible from a few different angles at a time now. Or something. Having this level of skill all suddenly feels odd. Uhh don't use that heat thing, guys. That sounds bad. It would be wicked awesome if it would work without burning me and stuff.

Egh, the wind's picking up. Can we get moving here?

>>302096
Oh niiiice. We might not even need to fight like that. Anyway yeah. Let's go. Uh, did you want us to teleport you? I remember you were not keen on the idea of us trying to do it, before.

[enable Narus to change our appearance as well so we are camo'd similarly]
[disallow fire armor until it is safe for Narus- also, I am putting IW towards that goal]

Yeah, that was the plan right? I trust you enough now, 'cause Dessen seems to. I would probably have suggested something else otherwise. Keep doing this thing where you second-guess me and like, give me decision power like you have been. Seems like the best way.

impulse weight registered(2) is not sufficient to determine nature of device in center of room.extreme environmental hazards would become present due to it being hit by [[unable to translate]], assuming that this refers to the same untranslatable function tested previously

Cool. Ok, so I should be out of this room. The room right above and the one right below were occupied, right? Should I try fighting whoever's below, and then I guess we'll see if it's safe to blow up this thing here while I'm there? Oh geez! Someone's climbing up now. I don't think it could see me if it turned around... How about I uh, try shooting it in the back?

>>305393
Try shooting it. We will be able to determine how effective your weapon is from the results. Keep in mind we have a very destructive ability at our disposal, but if we used it on the... engine core or whatever this is, you'd die. So we won't be doing that. We can probably use it on troops safely... I'll check to be sure.

[continue checking for environmental hazards]
[create time bomb with variable fuse, powerful enough to destroy the central device inside this room. Power beyond that is unnecessary, so route further IW to making it harder to discover]

Eyes, eh? I'll try to fix that issue.
[extend camouflage to Narus's eyes, but only from the outside. A one-way change. That way he can still see!]

Alright looks like you could use a power up on that gun. Meanwhile I'll scan it for weak spots. Go ahead and try to use the shield to crush it... I don't know how well it would do that but it's worth a shot.

[Alter Narus' weapon in such a way that it injures these creatures more efficiently. Specialize it towards that purpose only, for added effectiveness.]

impulse weight registered (4) is not enough to hide Narus' eyes while maintaining his vision

remaining projectiles are being infused with Fervylis-specific toxic materials
best place to shoot them with Narus' current weapon is their eyes.only massive bodily (failure or trauma) will kill them
shield device would not be strained from attempting to crush things unless forces greater than Narus' full weight in the present gravity are brought against its barrier from both sides
not usually dangerous unless they are carrying something prone to fragmenting violently under stress
bomb completion ETA is 6 minutes

At least it doesn't smell too bad. It looks like they're wearing suits maybe. Or this is some really strange way to have skin.
[[Dammit]], there's another one down there!

>>313663
Cripes, these guys are really tough apparently. Won't really be able to kill them with that gun. Not quickly, anyhow. I'll try to just put our ol' nanobots in the ammo so that when we shoot them later they'll dissolve.

Hmm. We didn't manage to hide your eyes. I bet if you closed them you'd be fine though, right? How about we give you a mental image of your surroundings while your eyes are closed?

Also we have 6 minutes until the bomb's ready. I think that's a bit too long. Want us to teleport you down there? Try shooting down from behind the cover of the shield device, for now.

[Begin feeding Narus visual data of his surroundings with his permission, not needed to be better than his usual eyesight, and restricted to only need to be active when his eyes are closed.]
[Attach previously-built nanobots (those set to only disassemble the aliens) to the ammo we are using for the gun.]
[Can we use the Untranslatable Ability as a delayed action, so that we can teleport Narus away before it triggers and destroys this structure?]
[How much IW would be required to create a new nanobot spray that would destroy the structure here and then go inert afterwards?]
[With Narus' permission, teleport him down to a spot not in the field of view of any aliens in that room.]

+1 to everything.

+1 to whole plan as well.

We're making too much noise, we need to kill them faster.

I don't know, but I already found a way to end this instantly. With your permission, we will use our untranslatable ability on that central structure as a delayed action and teleport you out to safety before it goes off. Thus, destroying the structure and hopefully destroying the ship without endangering you. Acceptable?

[With Narus' permission, use delayed Untranslatable Ability on central structure, teleporting Narus out of the ship and back to the prior observation point, assuming that is a safe distance. If that is not a safe distance, teleport Narus to a safe, familiar location.]
