[Lambda] A small adventure begins...

> Right.

Hey heads up I didn't edit the text at all? I know this for a fact because I double checked my area map before posting to make sure that left, right, and center were all properly labeled. I'm not sure why a bunch of people got confused about that but rest assured no puzzle I do will involve forum post editing. I only edit to fix image mistakes or add in rolls I forgot. That being said, I'm suspicious that different computers may be reading the color code wrong.

If you see anything different than what is below, please DM me on Discord.


I won't be retconing this, but if people aren't seeing this correctly (like the last puzzle) I won't be able to use it again.

>North (Middle)

>Right

>Right, if vote changes are allowed

>Middle.

Left! Trust the red text.

Yes, the red text is definitely always to be trusted. Time to head left.

> Right.

After some deliberation, you decide to head to the right.

Oh for the love of...you know how Fortuna color coding works! Try and remember what's good, bad, and okay before making a choice. But whatever. I've fixed it. Remember, ████ ██ ████ █ █████.

>What the hell were those things? I don't recognize them at all

As you walk, you make a mental note to ask Athena if she knows who invaded this base. Best you can recall, it's supposed to be abandoned. Finally, you reach the end of the hallway

You walk into the room marked "SHIP."

Score! You take 100 fuel with the jerrycans that hold 25 fuel each. You take 2, Athena takes 1, and Evi takes 1.

Now you have enough fuel to get you out of here! Should you take it and run? Or try and raid the base a little?

> Take it and run. Not worth the risk, buddy

SpoilerShow

You...fixed...it?.......How.

>Run like heck. Odds are that squadron wasn't the only group there.

>Take it and run like your life depends on it. It may very well.

SpoilerShow

Technology is amazing, but acts weird whenever it gets the chance. It seems to be behaving once again.

>Sure, let's get a move on, Fortuna awaits.

Run, run away!

Oi! Mysterious voice, are you telling us that you are bad?

> Take it and run. Not worth the risk, buddy

>Run like heck. Odds are that squadron wasn't the only group there.

>Take it and run like your life depends on it. It may very well.

>Sure, let's get a move on, Fortuna awaits.

Run, run away!

You go as fast as you can, but Athena and Evi can't go very fast and you aren't leaving anyone behind.

Fortuna rolls a d20 and a d4. A 13 and 4 are rolled, respectively.

There were bang and flashes everywhere for just a moment. And then you saw the 3 attackers, slumped over on the ground. Oh.

Fortuna rolls a d20. A 16 is rolled.
You hope no one got hit, and are surprised to find everyone fine. A little shocked, but fine. You make it the rest of the way to the ship unharmed.

Ship refueled to 100%.

You take off immediately, and are en route to Fortuna.

Code:

You...fixed...it?.......How.

Don't worry about it.

Code:

Technology is amazing, but acts weird whenever it gets the chance. It seems to be behaving once again.

What are you on about?

Oi! Mysterious voice, are you telling us that you are bad?

Mysterious voice? You don't hear anything but your own thoughts.
Maybe I'll answer if you actually ask me.

Evi has an idea to fix Athena's leg, if he's able, but it would use the last of the 4 scrap. This would leave you with only the options of eating meat or skipping a meal, neither of which are particularly good.

Should you use the scrap to repair Athena for the dangers of Fortuna, though she'd still be without flight, or ensure that you won't do anything you'll regret later?

Hi welcome back to college apps are heck. Also a reminder that I do update my calendar here! So if you want to know when to expect an update, keep an eye on it.

>don't fix Athena's leg, we need food

SpoilerShow

Don't worry about it? Oh heck no. I'm worrying about it, REM.
How.
Did.
You.
"Fix"
It?
Simply telling us to not worry about it is only making you look suspicious and I for one don't trust you.

SpoilerShow

Well folks, this is it. We are only an update away from the end. There will be delays in the final update as I plan to do something very special.

>don't fix Athena's leg, we need food

You decide that being hungry while opening the Fortuna chest is a bad plan. After all, isn't that how one glitch run got started?

2 meat rations and 2 scrap consumed.

Code:

Don't worry about it? Oh heck no. I'm worrying about it, REM.
How.
Did.
You.
"Fix"
It?

Ah yes, I simply ██████ the █████. Being your ████████████ allows me to do that. After all, it would be horrible to ███ in a █████. Though I suppose you would just ████ ██. And now you see why I told you not to worry about it.

Code:

Mysteriously Sassy Red Voice of knowledge. I politely and actually ask YOU if you happen to be single and not in a relationship with anyone at the moment

What. Can...can you even date a ████████████??

You decide to ask Athena what those strange creatures were.

Sure enough, the planet hangs calmly in space. None of the normal Nemesis ships are swarming it. Athena quickly takes the opportunity to land the ship.

75 fuel used.

You disembark with your crew.

It's...oddly...calm.

No no no no you were so close to getting out of this heck your crew is going to--

Kimberlee Leelailee and Tony run away!

SpoilerShow

>Kimberlee: Follow these dopes from the shadows, you think they might be up to something... shifty.

No comments are needed for the next update, but if you like, you can ask questions about the story that will be answered sometime after the final update! There will also be a Q&A session at a currently undetermined date.

Your crew urges you on to open the chest first. You walk up to the chest...

SpoilerShow

Yoooo! Bonus content!

Notes Document || Discord Chat

The Q&A will start at 2:00PM and run until 4:00PM PST, December 30! If you can't make it, don't fret! You can always PM me here on Eagle Time.
