>>25081146

Hide in the ceiling vent.

You snake around some metal that sticks out of the wall and climb up to the vent. It is covered with a thick metal grille, but your mandibles bite through it with a sharp crunch. You spit the disgusting metal into the vent and slither through the hole. The vent is bare metal, only slightly wider then yourself. Echoing down the vent you can hear a humming noise, occasionally punctuated by a beep.

The door below you opens, and you can see a taloned foot on the other side of the doorway.
"Oh gods, it's happened here too."
You hear the sound of fluids hitting metal.
"We've got to find the others, don't split up."

You don't quite have the angle to dive out and through the doorway and bite.

>You can make a sort of slurpy-sucky noise with your mouth and click your mandibles.

You continue down the vent, exploring. You hear one of the delicious creatures behind you enter the cabin you left.

After a short distance the vent widens, and in front of you there is a large spinning blade. The whirring noise is loud now, and seems to be mostly caused by the blade.

There is a wire grill covering the exit from your tunnel and another few tunnels nearby. You bite through the wire, and enter another tunnel at random.

This tunnel ends in a rather large room, with a table in the centre and many seats. There are many metal boxes on the walls. There is a small, wooden door that does not entirely seal off a small adjacent room. Something delicious is somewhere.

You hear a scuttling noise approaching the door to this room.

>>25081567

Get into a suitable position to pounce from above, just in case the noise approaching is something alone and delicious.

>>25081688

Stealth

You quickly bite a hole in the opening of the vent, ready to drop down on anything which passes below you, in the centre of the room.

The scuttling reaches the door, and the door opens. A Crab, as you now know their species stands there, carrying two metal things in it's claws.

"Joe, are you in the loo?" it says to the room at large, clicks punctuating it's speech.
You make a slurpy-sucky noise, trying to lure the creature closer.
"Oh, that sounds nasty. My cooking's not that bad, is it?"

The thick shelled lobster enters the room, and walks towards the smaller door.

I think we know what to do.

As the crab passes underneath you and slids one of the metal devices it was holding into the side room, underneath the thin door. You drop down onto it's head, biting your mandibles into it's thick carapace on it's head.
>nat1
And right before you land, it shifts it's head and bats you out of the way with it's antennae. You land mouthfirst on the thing's back, causing you great pain, and startling it.

It turns around and sees you, solid eyes taking in your feathers and teeth.

Then it's free claw swings towards you, trying to snip you in half!

The thing grabs you in it's pincers, but before it can crush you you bite into the joints of it's claw. Your mandibles break right through the weak layers of carapace and crush it, leaving the thing's claw dangling open uselessly.

It shakes it's arm and flips you onto the floor. The metal device in it's other hand points towards you, lying on the ground next to it. You recall that the humans on the other ship were holding these when you got hurt...

You slide underneath the creature as bursts of light and heat burn the deck where you were. The creature lets off some wordless cry.

You bite and tear at it's softer undertail, tearing into it's frills and small legs and it makes pained noises.

Then you position your stinger above some of the holes you have bitten into it and jab away wildly until you release your venom into it's body. Your bestial desire to sting things falls away quickly.

The creature jabs at you with it's pointed legs, kicking you off and away from itself. It lowers it's phaser and shoots at you! It burns! You are in great pain! You are bleeding!

Well it probably takes as much energy to bite off the other appendage as it does to slither away.

I'm sticking with die satisfied, though.

You slide as fast as you can towards the thing, snaking from side to side, another burst of heat catches your tail, shearing the end of it off! You are in extreme pain!

You slip between it's stabbing legs and bite into it's underbelly. This time you waste no time and eat your way into it's soft innards as it struggles to pull you out with it's broken claw. Your venom appears to have had no effect. You eat deeper, and soon enough you reach it's heart, and it stops struggling.

You begin eating it from the inside out.

Your strength grows:
>Legs - It's armored legs looked conveniant for getting around
>Frilly things - While shorter and slower, it would be quieter to travel with many, smaller, limbs
>Amored chitin(INCOMPATIBLE WITH FEATHERS) - A tough exoskeleton will make you harder to damage

Your tail writhes on the floor in front of you, flopping about wildly. Your stump has healed over, but you are now much shorter, having lost a quarter of your length.

Gotta be able to speak son

You feel your sides split, and four armored legs sprout out from your sides. The front pair are longer and thicker and the rear pair are small and weak. You walk around experimentally and find that you mostly pull yourself with your front legs. You have trouble jumping.

You walk over to your tail, leg points giving off soft tick noises when they land, and spike it with your new legs. They're not sharp, but they're certainly not blunt either. You gobble down the tail, as it continues to twist and spasm.

You hear heavy footsteps outside the door.

You manage to hook your leg into the grating and pull yourself out, off the boxes and hang from the grate. It feels unsteady, but as the door begins to open you have to hurry into the ventilation shaft. You get up, but dislodge the grate, and it falls with a loud clang. You slip off into the ventilation system as fast as you can.

You arrive at the spinning blade again. There are many other passages, each of them, and the room you are in, are made of the same thin metal and have a bare empty feel. Undelicious metal. You might be able to get past the blade, somehow. You hear voices echoing from behind you.

can we hear what the voices are saying?

>>25083584

Yes I agree that we should listen. Can we also study the vents a bit more? Maybe the fan has a weak point.

>>25083535
Try to break the fan with our armored leg and if that fails explore some more.

No, we are loud with our legs and will alert them. Don't try to break the fan, it'll just chop our legs off. Can we go another direction?

Our legs are blunt, not soft.

You pull your legs inside your feathery coat, and slide back towards the voices.
"-thing on this ship, and I want it found. You two, stick togther. You're with me. Do NOT lose sight of each other. I'll turn off the autopilot and we can land once we kill the thing."
The footsteps and scuttling leave the room below you. You think you heard at least three voices in the room.

>>25083760

We can't take them, and now they are on high alert. I recommend we try to sabotage the ship. Can we go back to the noisy room and break whatever was in there?

>>25083760
Get back to the bridge and destroy all the controls.

>>25083760
Go to the cockpit to watch them turn off the autopilot and control the ship. You'll probably need to learn how later for dire situations

>>25083760
Follow the commanding one? We have to eat teh captain.

Then we can use the fan to our advantage.

no, we don't want to destroy those controls. One of the things we want to do is get off this ship after we eat everyone. A better idea would be to eat the guy who knows what he is doing then set our destination ourself.

>>25083787
Don'y do that!

>>25083816

This,
unless they're all crab men we should be able to get both, if we're lucky enough we can drop down from the ceiling and shove our front legs into their brains simultaneously with no struggle.

>>25083760
We can't let them kill the autopilot. Go back to the controls, and wait there.

The noisy room... What's in there? Maybe it controls the fan. Go there and sabotage. Don't sabotage the controls though.

We can live in the vacuum of space. The only loss would be that we can't eat the dead corpses.

You crawl back through the ventilation shafts to the cockpit. Unfortunately, due to the roundabout route you have to take past the fan, the creatures get there before you. You see the bird-thing raise one of it's feet and flip a switch on the control panel. Everything seems to shudder slightly.

"That thing's in the ventilation, we'll meet the others there."

You are beginning to get a hang of the layout of the ship...

>>25083888
Indeed, the fan appears to be inside the noisy machine in the noisy room. You were in the same place from the other side.

>>25083938
Yea but if the ship is just stuck in space because we fucked it up it's game overrr

drop on the more armored foe. Bite its neck. Then spring at the bird man.

>>25083939
kill the bird, take it's wings/talons

>>25083939


go into the cockpit and switch on the switch the creature just switched off

>>25083939
Flip the switch back once they leave

>>25083939
The hell're you drawin this stuff on? Chalkboard?

>>25083974
then
>>25083967

Because wings are kickass.

>>25084005
Looks like it.

>>25083939
wait for them to leave, flip the switch, and then break the console so they can't change it back. Make our way to the other side and head toward the noisy room.

>>25084022

Don't break the console that's stupid. If the bird is alone, kill the bird and flip the switch back, then head to noisy room to sabotage. If it's not alone, head to noisy room and sabotage.

>>25083966
seconded. we don't want them to group up.

>>25083966

This.

>>25083984
>>25083984

This one!

Any other changes when they flipped it OP?

>>25083966
>>25084051
>>25084093
agreed

You wait for the creatures to leave, then drop down from the vent with a soft noise. You walk over to the control panel, and flip the switch back with your mandibles. The ship shudders again, very slightly. Then you bite the switch off, making it very hard to toggle.

The metal asteroid in the viewport grows closer. You can see many lights, and all sorts of flashing lights. In some places you can see silhouettes of figures walking past windows. It all looks delicious.

Honestly, I think the problem here is that we have the 'stinger', and [s]that it has no mandibles[/s] that people keep wanting to use it on everything, knowing damn well what it actually is.

>>25084168
>Do you have any comments or critiques?

I liked the way you handled the rolls, third even etc.

>Did the maps help or hinder?
Maps were fine.

>I feel too much time was spent deciding which upgrade to take, would it be better to rush through that, and take a more lenient approach to consensus in order to get more eating in?

Maybe add a tad bit more detail in the initial explanation of the upgrade, so that the ups & downs of them are more clearly defined, so less questions are asked and a consensus can be reached more quickly.

>>25084168
I was late, but we got legs which is awesome. It seemed like it didn't last too long, so that may be the main reason

The maps are great help, if a little messy.

We got unlucky with the decision thing. That is, tied twice.

>>25084168
Wait, I missed it?
Aww...

>>25084247

Also this.

>>25084269

Also strictly state which upgrades we can take so we can just vote instead of inventing new ones.

Great series!

>>25084269
This, particularly the last bit.

>>25084247
Yeah, the stinger shit is starting to get really annoying.

>>25084311
>>25084269
>I am a bit torn, because I want to allow you to gain many of any number of upgrades from a creature, but don't want to present too many options at once, or else the vote tends to tie. However if I list only a few choices, then there are large amounts of potential upgrades you do not even see.
>For example, the crabs have: legs, frills, carapace, colour vision, claws, mandibles, size, antennae, memories, voice, skills and numerous other upgrades, some dependant on others, and some available at any time.

>>25084400

Sounds good.

>>25084400
That's the problem with voting, sadly, is that we can't have all the options or it ties up.

Best thing to do is try to read the crowd I guess.

Learn how to use it.

I don't feel like archiving the thing every time it shows up.

>>25084452
But see, that's where the trolls come in demanding that we fuck things.

Seriously guys, quit it. We can do that to things that are at our mercy.

>>25084400
Roll to determine which features are available from a table on a per-race basis or something along those lines.

>>25084486

That takes away the fun of being able to build our weapon.

>>25084520
Can we all agree, as the people sticking with this thread, to stop fucking things that are trying to kill us?

I'd really rather this didn't end with a whimper.

>>25084520
It would add to the challenge and be conducive to quick decisions. What's wrong with it taking more effort to obtain the features we want?

>>25084486

You could even build a sort of talent tree for each monster type in your head.

Crabs give: Carapace, Mandibles, Legs
Bird things give: Wings, Feathers, etc
We could also gain biomass every 3 or so feedings.

Upgrades in general could be a bit more streamlined. The choice goes down but the quality goes up. Making things up on the fly will always be a bit worse than if you had planned it out.

>>25084452
>>25084472
Sadly, no, because people will still demand it, to ruin the fun. Now, if you said you would disallow that unless it was actually -feasible-... I wouldn't mind that terribly.

This.
Fucking, this.
Don't let us die because idiots get here first.

>>25084571
>>25084550
>>25084611

I fully support this.

Pick out what the creature had, OP. Then number them. Roll a dice four times, and put down what you get.

We'll choose from that random batch of options. Make sure to have some description, as you did near the end, to make a general consensus easier.

Makes the options more random, and still lets us customize our little man-eater.

>>25084640
Btw, are we still calling it "Delicious"?
I was rather fond of that pet name, shit weasel aside.

>>25084640
Also, as a suggestion for how to handle upgrades- I like the vote system with a bunch of options, but I wouldn't ever suggest putting "Other" Unless you know we have an idea. That would probably tie us up.

If you say we can think up our own, however, and someone posts one, then people might get behind that.

P.S Let's name fag it up in this thread.

>>25084640

BRILLIANT!

>This is meant to be an inclusive quest, where anyone can join at any time, look at the list of upgrades and the situation we're in and give good input.

>>25084569
Another way would be to show basic traits of creatures when you first encounter them and reveal more as the shit weasel becomes more familiar with it (has gained some traits). For every trait gained another is revealedFor example:

Crab
Carapace
Legs (---> Frills)
Mandibles (--->vocal cords--->voice)
Mind (basic intelligence --> general knowledge(e.g. language) --->individual knowledge=skills)

Unlocked after having absorbed three traits:
Sensors (Color Vision, antennae)
Size upgrade

Fuck, I missed the quest by napping...

>>25084845
Huh...man, /tg/ can be worse then I thought.
I see the reason though, yet shall remain as a namefag. I like it.

>>25084832

Well, not each item. Think of each race as having one or two unique drops. Like, their gimmick. So one race might spit acid, another might be armored. I think his plan is fine if he already has a tech tree scribbled.

>>25084864
Well, originally we only took one vote at a time and only hungered. Our mind wasn't developed.
Then we sunk out teeth into humie-flesh and the world opened up to us. More votes were allowed.

So I figure we're simple brained so far, but... /tg/ meta-hivemind.
