You do that, and order some heavy duty military stuff from off-planet. Or stuff you can use for gargantuan sized game hunting if you're not allowed military stuff.

just raid the supply depot and put on every magical artifact you got.

[sparkxus] "In the grand scheme of things, everyone has a percentage of mortality. You, Mister Pont, are a named main character and so have an 80% chance of surviving most situations. Me, being a named non-main character, has 60% chance of surviving situations. Now non-named side characters such as the female alien you gave me has only 15% chance of surviving any situation, and that only applies to minor things. Right now, Mister Pont, she lost her legs and the lower to mid section of her torso is crushed. The percentage isn't high enough to compensate recovery and she is going to die by the end of the day. The only possibility of recover is if she suddenly became a named co-main character, making her percentage the same as yours. The question is, do you really want to keep this girl or do you want to let her vanish in the plot?"

oh, well if he is just gonna throw the 4th wall out the window then we will too. yes we want to keep her, her name is now Jernaseth.

>>305493
Agreed, but maybe a better name?
Her full name is now Caroline Marsha Everfree.
We can give her a backstory too, if we need to do that to recover everything besides her legs.

Pont! Go get her some cool cyborg legs like that girl from the Gen1 transformers cartoon! Or legs that end at the knees, with the knees being hover-pods!
Or a jetpack!

YES

SAVE HER ASS

er

SAVE HER

>>305481
This supposed doctor is infuriating.
Boosting her chances of survival by making her more plot relevant?

Make it so: Remind him that she is not just an assistant, but your Personal Assistant. The only one you trust enough to be there for meetings on time or early to catch what you might miss when important things come up.

I... I thought her name was Ms Whiteshirt

oh and she can summon baka-hammers to smash us if we get too friendly too fast. doesn't really hurt but looks hilarious.

We've already elected to make her our personal assistant! That's pretty important! I think it should become one of those running gags, though, that Pont doesn't actually know her name. Maybe she could keep trying to tell us, while he keeps calling her "white shirt" or "assistant." That'd be kinda' cute, yeah?

Also, she needs to be fully intact again. We can't have our assistants getting mutilated!

>>305481
YES WE MUST SAVE HER. Turns out she has photographic memory, her parents were killed when she was 5 in the chaos of an uprising on her home planet; a fringe world called Vedrixia, she's is a surprisingly good shot as her father used to take her hunting Volt Budgies, she worked DAMN HARD to get this job, and
>>305493
her name is Jernaseth.

THERE SHE HAS A BACK STORY NOW SAVE HER ALREADY.

Oh fuck, I'm being asked for a sub-plot? *rummages around in mental junk drawer*
Her name is Ms. Helena Whiteshirt. She has tolerated Mr. Pont teasing her because she does have a crush on him but it annoys her that he never bothered to learn her name and probably never will. She thinks the whole thing is embarrassingly unprofessional but finds herself putting on deep-cleavage blouses and other sexy clothes and underclothes in the morning if Mr. Pont might be around.
She took this job to get ahead and because of a bit of gratitude to Grey Mage: Her people benefited from Grey Mage's patronage to become valuable professional mercenaries, researchers and office staff around the known universe.
Her family is regressive and she is glad to have left the tribe to become professional instead of living the native life as a tribe of hunter-gatherer raiders on their native world. Her education was top-notch in administration and IT and she deliberately intimidates the neckbeard-geeks in the office by being good at their job and pretty at the same time. Helena getting this education was the beginnings of the rift between her and the rest of her family, although they still accept her and would come running if she needed help. In contrast she'd be embarrassed about their feral nature and uncivilized habits if people at the office knew that her family was like that though (although this would mostly make her coworkers respect and/or fear her more).

well yes, last time you came out you broke the forth wall and started talking about main characters and survival rates and stuff.

Paradoxes happen when you put your big meaty boot straight through the fourth wall.

"Nope.avi"

Deja vu is useless and time paradoxes are better off not thought about. If there is a scab on reality you do not pick at it.

You have earned a chance to purchase a playable character!

the three characters to choose from are these:

Sparksus Lightbubble- crazy scientist who breaks the fourth wall, no one knows how or why.

Niconico- A small birdlike creature known as a Fib, very cute

Kilobyte- Not much is known about this strange rabbit eared thing, very mysterious

Let's buy the rabbit, then buy him a hat.

Sparky! He's fun.

>>306444
Buy the rabbit.

>>306444
Sparky! We are going to SCIENCE! all up in this place!

>>306444
Niconio! Cuteness > anything else.

Sparksus.
It'll be nice to have a direct conversation with someone about the properties of the fourth wall.

>>306463
I say Nico. I like the others but they are better off as NPCs.

>>306444
Get Niconico. He's adorable.

Sparksus

The "rabbit", Kilo. We may learn more about the powerful scottish bear thing that attacked our assistant, and its faces are humorous.

Yeah, don't steal the exposition-faucet for playable, and I hate ridiculously cute, so going with Kilobyte the blunt implement.

But Mistah Pont is too cool, why do we need another?

I am seconding the eye upgrades, those sound very useful. At least ask about glasses. Also tell us about yourself, what are you good/bad at?

Better questions; who are you, why are you here, where are you supposed to be, what would you rather be doing, what are your goals, who are your friends, who are your enemies, and what alliances, affiliations and memberships do you have?

I'm a gremlin, from earth. I used to be on earth with a human (not a very bright one) and arrived here after the human shot a dimensional rift within mere feet of us... idiot. I'm good at machina mechanica, Technomancery, and thaumaturgics around any machine or gizmo.
I am bad at singing.

>who are you, why are you here, where are you supposed to be, what would you rather be doing, what are your goals, who are your friends, who are your enemies, and what alliances, affiliations and memberships do you have?

Kilobyte, small dimensional rift, earth, back on the webspace divide with my family, going home, no one on this planet, berrkins and anyone who hates short gremlins (i think, can't understand a thing they say), Interweb Virus Guardians and i'm also a chieftan of the second binary (which is our city on webspace divide).

any other questions?

Can you build a translator bot?

>>306899
Wrong! Your allies consist of US!
See if you and Sparky can bash a translator together, then work on a way to kill that mechabearkin jerk. I'm pretty sure the people here will be happy to help you home after that.

so why couldn't you use your techno magic on the berrkin robot thing?

Can you leverage your allies across interstellar distances from your regular home? We don't know what the fuck is up with that bear and right now the locals that don't want to kill you are in crisis mode trying to figure out what-the-fuck and deal with that. If you help that process along you can get home faster and probably get paid for your trouble while maybe making some interstellar-useful friends.

>>306902
yes, that sounds like a good plan... but i probably could make a translator myself. Also, i have no idea what the bear thing was talking to long face about.

>>306905
Simple, it wasn't a robot. It's a physical manifestation of magice, one that conforms to the whims of the caster. I'm a technomancer, and i think the bear summons this "death father," ... i'm really only assuming that it's called death father because it sounds like ancient greek.

>>306935
Whabba da wa? Well no, i can't get anyone from home here since there is no way to travel dimensions on this planet... i know because i scanned for the regular dial in frequency that all trans-dimensional gates use.
And i don't work for money, watches and wind up toys maybe but not money.

okay, try to communicate with pictograms that you need a machine to make a translator with.

>>307139
Oh, the bearkin basically said "You're ruining MY planet. You damn kids get off my lawn. You have 5 days before I genocide you all. My planet was perfect until you lesser species showed up and started being more successful than the bearkin master race. My opinion means more than legal ownership or basic rights. I attract mates with threats of violence because I'm so unlovable in every other way." and etc.
... Ok, so I editorialized a bit.
Typical racist garbage, aside from the whole turning into a walking tank and chopping Pont's assistant. Pont's the long-faced guy, by the way. He works for an organization named Grey Mage - they're fine to work for or with, but they're the sort of lawful neutral group you don't want to have following you home.

>>307141
holy crap, you got it seven, that pretty much explains the situation so far.

Money can buy watches and wind-up toys so yes you do work for money, silly. But really the ability to leave and a ticket out of here seems like a pretty good commission at this point when you're stuck in the middle of nowhere with the threat of extermination hanging over your head.

>>307139

yep, this one is the first one, i'm hoping to have at least 1 video per chapter

Alright, no, fuck the god and balance. Get him a new fucking head from one of many cloning tanks he's probably cooked up JUUUUUUST recently in case of an emergency.
