Hmm... we could use a bit more equipment, don't you think?

[create impenetrable handheld lightweight shield device, meant to block attacks from whatever direction it is pointed in. Shape should be rounded, so as to allow attacks to deflect off. General size should be big enough to cover at least 90 degrees in front of Narus. Projected shield should conform to cramped environments.]
[duplicate whatever weapon the aliens were using against narus, and some ammo for it. Should be easy. Modify for usage with one hand Narus cannot wield it like that comfortably.]

Obict: You could pick one ship and see if it has any entrances that you can use to get in somehow. The most important one is probably the most secure. The least secure one might be the best place to start. Can the humans figure out how secure they are from here?

Narus is able to use the weapon

>>290225
Alright... There's three small medium-security ships that have a bunch of troops in them we could go fight. There's one medium-security ship with... nothing of interest I suppose. There's the big high-security ship that has something called a Maxten in it? Up to you where we go to. I think we have a good chance of winning in a heated firefight with very little injury, if you're worried.

>What the heck is a Maxten?

Oh, we could scope out a ship ourselves, too. Shouldn't take much more than a minute or two.

>bring up a mini-map of whatever ship Narus is interested in

>>290287
>>290283
Both of these for now.

Need to think of a plan though.

>>290225
I think notifying Narus of items fabricated is wise. If it's ever unwise we can declare notifying to stop happening at that time.

Narus, we created a shield device. It should cover about 90 degrees in front of you and block attacks and deflect projectiles. With the duplicated alien weapon, you should be able to stand a fighting chance if things go a little awry.

If they go a lot awry, uh, we're working on it. It's probably for the best to go for the smaller medium-security ships based on that reason. But...

+1 IW to determining what a Maxten is and what function it serves.

It might be more useful to go after the Maxten.

+1 IW to either continuing to hide Narus' presence from scanning systems or if we haven't already done it stating to hide his presence.
+1 IW to minimap of whatever ship Narus wants to choose.

Maxten... Ooh that's familiar wait. Uhh... In the first Fervylis thing you saw! In the spaceflight. It was the name, of, a Fervylis I think. It's in the records of your device. I pick the medium ship for now, then the high one. Very little injury sounds good enough.

What I was thinking was, if we could take out the troop ships, uh, then they wouldn't be able to defend the high security one. If that room is the key then I think that's a good plan.

Hmm, well, the armor film does protect you a bit- the projectiles don't go very deep. I'll check the shield. Maybe we can make you an additional layer of armor in the form of loose-fitting clothes? Keep in mind that we can reactively create shields ourselves like we did in the earlier fight. Hmm, maybe we can just continuously project an air-permeable shield bubble around you?
At any rate, we are probably ready. If we have any trouble we can just keep making things as we go.

Cool. Ok, so I should be out of this room. The room right above and the one right below were occupied, right?

Try shooting it. We will be able to determine how effective your weapon is from the results.
