1301 - 1350

1301
Cobalt Ootkins:
Sorry I guess I just wanted to sound nice to you but I see now there was no reason to. I'm such a maniacal halitosis-infested wretched horror to all who encounter me that everyone just expects me to be whis way now.

1302
Leonard:
Heh. Look Cobalt, it's fine. I understand, it's cool you know? You don't need to prove anything to me. How has life been going for you anyway?

1303
Cobalt Ootkins:
It's been going....it's just. [You take a deep breath.] I just need a hug at this moment uncle Leonard.

1304
You take a few steps forward, ready to make this hug happen when suddenly Artemis jumps out with her newly fixed horns pointed at you.

1305
Artemis:
You.

1306
Cobalt Ootkins:
Me?

1307
Leonard:
Her? Artemis you have to be wrong.

1308
Artemis:
Deery, I'm sorry to say this but this thing isn't that, Colbalt person. She's the shapeshifter. To say I'm wrong is an insult. I have perfect tracking and the signal of a shapeshifter comes directly from her. Now honey, any last words before you find an arrow in your neck?

1309
You wonder if maybe when that snake bit you ever so long ago you were given shapeshifting powers and you've just haven't noticed! Or maybe, just maybe you hit yourself with the clock and became a shapeshifter at some point.
*Sword Hand*

1310
You quickly note that these ideas are just silly. All that snake gave you was a dead father, and you would know if you hit yourself with the clock, you aren't dumb enough to do that by accident and not notice. You would think you would need to eat it to become a shapeshifter anyway.

1311
Cobalt Ootkins:
[You know the clock has to be the issue though. It's the closest thing to a shapeshifter that you know of.] The mere notion that I am a shapeshifter is preposterous you are clearly a degenerate small-minded pitiful sideshow freak who is clearly broken. This signal you are talking about is likely coming from this clock I have.

1312
You put the clock on the floor and backaway from it. The Artimes takes great interest in it. It seems clear this was what made her think you were some sort of shapeshifter.

1313
Artemis:
Tell me deer, why do you have this with you? It's letting out the most annoying signal and I am seconds away from crushing it under my hooves to make sure it's not really the monster himself.

1314
Cobalt Ootkins:
Don't do that you incalculably debauched varmint! You might cause some sort of horrific incident. I brought that object and I will not let you crush it. Why are you chasing around some thick-headed shapeshifter anyway?

1315
Artemis:
Ugh, we have been thrown off it's path again. If you must know deer, we're chasing this thing for more then a few bucks. We chase it because it disasters seem to strike the places it's been every so often. While I can't say it's causing these things deer, I can say it clearly knows when and where they will happen.

1316
Artemis:
Hmmph. We're done on this planet. We have no time to lose, call the rest of the crew, anymore waiting and we'll fully lose it for sure. I'm not looking to start once again at square one.

1317
Leonard:
Err, sorry Cobalt, looks like I need to get going. Look we can catch up later, give me a call or something I guess. Sorry about this.

1318
Leonard and Artemis walk away. You were so close. You were so freaking close to getting something simple, a hug, but something always gets in the way without fail! You growl a bit as you go to pick up the clock. You don't even care a word about what that robot said, you're just, angry.

1319
You pick up the clock and put it in your inventory. The thought of eating it or just throwing it randomly pops in to your head. You don't know why but whenever you hold the clock those things sound like great ideas to you, but once it's in your inventory you notice how stupid it would be.

1320
You decide you're just going to give this darn clock to Geko for sale. You're tired of it and it's weird control it has on your thoughts. You think of also running, maybe catching up to Leonard before he leaves, but honestly you know you're just going to be disappointed.

1321
You decide to check out the prices here so the shopkeeper will stop staring your way. The biopower upgrade is 10,000p, the heat resistant metal is 25,000p and the Selene core is 50,000p. These prices are outrageous, how is that core even 50% off and yet still cost so much?

1322
You are now Hermes. You have been running back and forth from this spot to the town waiting for Nova to catch up. At one point Nikki handed you a harpoon so you guess that was cool!

1323
Nova has just catched up to you and quickly checks for any disturbances in the sand. It appears to be safe, at least for now. A Soothal watches a, what appears to be a cowboy robot hop a wall it has set up. All the way to the back seems to be the drilling station.

1324
Nova walks up to the Soothal, ready to ask a few questions about this place.

1325
Noverus Rayson:
[Before he says a thing he evaluates the Soothal's place on the species hierarchy. Soothals are all over the place. Their place depends on head shape with squares being lowest and diamond shaped heads being highest. The order goes, square, triangle, cylinders, and diamond. Nova proceeds accordingly.]

1326
Noverus Rayson:
You there, peasant.

1327
Jayna:
Oh yes, thank you very much by calling me by my full and proper name "Peasant". Surely I don't have any sort of normal name like "Jayna" or something stupid like that. No need to tell me your name, I already know it's Jester correct? What do want Jester? I am busy getting things set up and am about to watch this fool be ripped apart.

1328
Noverus Rayson:
[Rolls his eyes before continuing.] I'm assuming you're talking about the shark situation. Are you telling me that robot is about to try and kill it? I won't have any robot beat me to this.

1329
Nova tries to jump over the short wall. The Soothal uses one of it's hands to face palm itself and another to stop Nova from jumping over. It mumbles something along the lines of "I tell this idiot that robot is about to get ripped apart and he wants to join in."

1330
Jayna:
You are really gearing up to tell the king a bad joke, aren't you Jester?

1331
Noverus Rayson:
..........What in the world are you talking about?

1332
Jauna:
It's a phrase, you know? The Jester tells the king a bad joke and is taken to the gallows to be hanged? Look forget it, if you want to die go for it, I'm sure you can kill an oil shark all by yourself Jester.

1333
Noverus Rayson:
I'm not going in alone. I have this robot as backup.

1334
Hermes:
Yellow!!!!!!!

1335
Jayna:
Yes that's quite some wonderful backup you have there. Though if you're willing to, not only can I make catching it easy, but I'll only require half the profits.

1336
Jayna:
I just need to get up and close to the shark to disable it. Of course when I mean me, I mean I'm looking for someone else to do it. Once it's disabled I'll be able to get the info I need out of it and we can cash it in, if you're willing to trust a "peasant".

1337
Noverus Rayson:
Hmmph. I'll accept this deal. Now how are you going to help make this easier? [The thought of asking her to join the crew quickly shoots through Nova's mind but as the crew is full he cannot ask!]

1338
Jayna:
This is so simple anybody can do it Jester. See here are two tube like machines. One has a red light, the other green. All I need you to do is not get killed and throw the red one in to the mouth or any other openings you see. Once the red one is in press the green one's button and it should disable, but not kill the shark.

1339
Noverus Rayson:
[Takes the two small machines and looks oddly nervous as he glances at both of them back and forth. It looks like he want to ask a question but he just ends up putting the machines away.] Are you ready to go robot?

1340
Hermes:
Yes!!!!! Not too high though.

1341
Nove sighs and wonders why he even brought you with him again. He's sure he can take out this shark alone. He jumps over the short wall, you follow.

1342

1343
The area way ahead is blocked by a large cliff. While it does seem you can just walk around it given enough time that doesn't seem to be needed. Other things you see are a large black rock, a radio tower and what seems to be some destroyed building. The ground starts to rumble.

1344
Nova doesn't see the robot from before anywhere but he sees a small fin coming their way. He laughs a bit, surprised that such a small thing has been causing this issue. He says that clearly this shows that all the robots on this planet are idiots.

1345
Nova reaches down tos ee if he could give a go at stabbing the shark then adn there. He's surprised when the shark comes out of the sand, and luckly misses him. He stands staring at it as it dips back in to the sand. He knows it won't take long before it swims back up again.

1346
Noverus Rayson:
[Nova looks at the two machines, he's unable to tell which one is green and which one is red. Not because they're both gray, but because both are the same type of gray. Nova looks to Hermes. He doesn't want to ask for Hermes's help but he can't do this alone.] Robot! Quick which one of these is the red one?

1347
Hermes:
Huh? Why? Can't you tell which one is red???? I mean it's pretty clear which one is red!

1348
Noverus Rayson:
Look I'm.....

1349
Hermes:
You are???????

1350
Noverus Rayson:
I'm color blind ok? Due to this I cannot tell the difference between the two machines. Now can you tell me which one is red?
