You've already got arms! Fingers, too!

On the laptop's screen there appears to be an asshole in a pretty nice coat, followed by some other, more heavily armed assholes. They're on a... bridge? You think it's a bridge. It's overlooking some buildings, so it must be a bridge. This laptop makes everything look like butt.

God, you wish you had some pants.

Seriously, who's this asshole?

That "asshole" would be Commander Longcoat, certified badass. And you must find him.

Oh hey, a command prompt. Apparently you can communicate with... these guys. In general. On the screen. Uh, it's not really clear. Maybe if you just type something in, it'll send the message to everyone onscreen? But would it send the message to the people in the buildings far-off? How about- fuck it. You probably shouldn't be thinking too hard about this stuff.

You wonder what you should type, to try and get this fellow's attention.

"hey you"

"...HQ? I'm still on my way over to the Plaza. Has the riot been contained?"

HQ? Uh. Wait, wait. How the hell can you even hear what he's saying? He doesn't look like he has a microphone or anything on him. This laptop doesn't have any speakers. No onscreen text bubble or anything. And another thing, how can you even see with this bucket on? Shit, you really hate concrete details.

But after you've seen a robot bee rip your best friend in half with only it's wings, you stop caring about concrete details.

Riot. HQ? Plaza. More questions, and less answers. You're going to have to start bombarding this asshole with questions.

Let's get to it!

"Who are you? This isnt "HQ" I dont think."

"We have still heard nothing new about the riot, how are things on your end Commander Longcoat?"
If his rank isn't commander tell him he has been promoted.

"Uh. The riot down in the Plaza. By Merlot Station. It's been going down for a few hours now, but we lost all radio contact with you guys about thirty minutes ago. Actually, we lost contact with just about EVERYONE about thirty minutes ago. Glad to se-"

>I JUST WANT YOUR NAME, ASSHOLE. I COULDN'T GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT YOUR LIFE STORY.

"Well fuck you, too, HQ. Sir. Sergeant Lorint Galther, assigned Scrambler to Riot Control Sec-B."

You know where Merlot Station is, but that place is nothing more then a goddamn crater by now. The fuck is up with these guys? Shouldn't the entire city they're in right now be covered in fiery meteors and otherworldy terrors?

If they're really in the same city as Merlot Station, then they're on their way to a goddamn bloodbath. Weird how they're not suspicious that a Scrambler was sent to a riot.

This entire event is a bureaucratic mess.

Hmm...

Could we have just a wee bit of info on how the world is right now? Just to clue us in on all this "fiery meteor" business? :3

>>247745

"Uh, good. I guess. As I said, we lost radio contact all through the city thirty minutes ago. And... a promotion? Is this really the time?"

You're not entirely sure of what the world's like, as of current. You've been trapped in this hospital for God knows how long. What you DO know, however, is that meteors have been crashing down on cities all over the world. It could be a single meteor small enough to kill just a single person, or a storm colossal things that could wipe out a state the size of Vermont. Most cities are little more then craters right now. The few that are still mostly intact are either on fire, or covered in pan-dimensional beings. Usually both.

Apparently, this is all being caused by some God-like being from space, known as Qllgy'hben, the Speaker. The funny thing is, this particular one is supposed to be the smallest and weakest of the Ring of Horrors. Yeah, we called the group of Otherworldly Horrors the Ring of Horrors. You always thought that, even though humanity's royally boned right now, the least they could do was give this group of extraterrestrial demons a cool name.

Anyway.

Qllgy'hben was apparently sleeping in the Mariana Trench, until he woke up on the fated day of August 14, 2055. That was yesterday. It was at that point that he began to summon his own little freakshows. Servants, if you will, to the Speaker. So now, about half the world's a burnt out husk, and the other half's got meteors filled with alien-demons raining down on it. Yeah. The meteors have alien-demons INSIDE of them.

You learned this all because, strangely enough, those asshole aliens haven't yet landed in Hamilton, Canada, which is where this hospital has been picking up its news feed, apparently.

So now what, Mr. Bucket? You want to warn that Galther guy and his soldiers of the impending horrors, or do you want to keep looking for answers as to what the fuck's going on?

maybe you can meet up with those dudes, ask them to meet you somewhere?

also, find some paperclips. no don't look at me oddly, its important. paperclips are always important

>>247783
They only spared Hamilton because they took one look at it and though they already hit it. Anyway, watch them go do their mission thing.

Is this another one of those "continue a quest from MSPA but don't link back to it so you can confuse everyone" quests?

>>247834
what.

>>247819
You would ask these tough and badass looking fellows to meet up with you, but you're not entirely sure of where you are. The windows are covered in some thick black... goop. So, yeah. You still have no idea where the fuck you are. You only know this is a hospital because, well, there's glaring evidence that it is. Patient's gown being the least of them.

This room seems to be somewhat devoid of paerclips, as well.

>>247829
After a bit of thinking, you decide to leave the soldiers to their fate. I mean, if the city's still intact, that must mean this laptop has some crazy time powers. So, you can't really change the past, right?

...Right?

...Right!

But come to think of it, that Galther fellow seems sorta familiar... well, considering he's a clone, of course he seems familiar.

But still, he seems an awful like some other asshole in this hospital. Can't put your finger on it...

Does the internet on the laptop work at all? Might be helpful.

Is it safe to leave the room you're in?

bang head against wall to remove bucket

>>248051
I thought we were the bucket? Wouldnt removing it be bad for us? How'd you get a bucket on your head, anyway?
