I arrive at GPuzzle's location with some soldiers and a Fire Conduit.
"The Conduit can control fire, I'll leave him and the soldiers with you until the bot is taken care of," I tell him.

There are too many, and I'm too tired :p
I'll put all the new ones in the thread tomorrow.

However, really, Exedra? A helicopter? Don't make it too easy for yourself :p

Well, I should probably make the device that makes the helicopter invisible do something else. And probably make the weapons manual.

Day 17 I still need to make that Ion dampen field generator. Why must it be so bloody hard to make. I'll see if I can get whizz onto it.

OOC: Make it take until day 31 to finish building it.

Day 17, Robot attack starts tommorow.
"LET'S GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE! WE CAN'T STAY ANY LONGER!"
We can see the dust from the spambot army already.
I am going to panic if we don't live this ASAP.
Whizz's and Ex's supplies are nice and all, but...
Unless we nuke this area from orbit, we're not going to escape unless we fly out of here. Let's just hope Ex's helicopter can carry us all.
I'm kind of glad we found this refinery here. There's enough fuel in these tanks to allow us to escape.
On the other hand, water is quite problematic. There's fuel and food enough for a trip but not enough water - I just hope we can use cactus to get some more.

Day 18 Everyone made it onto my helicopter. We should reach my base by tomorrow. I radiod Whizz to make that Ion machine for me. We stopped by a pond to get some water, then quickly filtered it and took off. It's gonna be a long ride.

Remember Whizz, Day 31

Bah bai <3

Day 19 We land at my base, and I make everyone a bed in my cave. I get some water from outside, and go havest the crops. Whizz hasn't got back to me on that Ion machine. At the rate this is advancing, he needs to hurry up.

I get Exedra's Transmission.
I get my Conduits to start working on the Dampener, this will take a long while.
OOC: Night Ex!
In the meanwhile, we set up an MFR system to lower the use of Conduit Powers for Farming.
We need all our focus on Power for the Dampener building machine while we set up Ethanol and Boiler Gen.

So we have an MFR production set up. The Apples are being routed to a Squeezer, and the Saplings to a Fermenter.
The Wood is being cooked into Charcoal, and the Charcoal is powering a Boiler.
So far that's all we have.
The Dampener is 6.25% done.

OOC do you even know how dangerous Explosive Ammo would be? xD
OOC Yeah, I know how dangerous it would be. That's why it's there. You'll get it later.

Day 21
Exedra's and GPuzzle's Log:
It's midnight now.
We started moving two hours ago. It is going to take really long.
If anyone gets this message, the Forum Games has a lot of recruits, but there's an attack comming at by day 24.
The No Topic Thread outpost is run over, don't try to get there, we've drained everything.
Protect the Forum Games outpost - it might be our last stand later on.

We've finished setting up Ethanol Production, and all the Boilers.
I'd say we are producing enough power to leave it alone while I help GPuzzle and Exedra over at the Forum Games Outpost.
I'm bringing all the Conduits to the Outpost.
We'll be camouflaging the Vehicles until we get a safe distance away from the Base.
We only have 2 Conduits that can do that, so let's hope they hold out long enough.
The Dampener is 37.5% done.

Spambot Attack!
I've got all my Conduits working on them, and I think I might be working the hardest.
I'm using all my Conduit Powers at once, and I'm depleting.
Fast.
I don't know if we'll make it!
9:00
7 of our Conduits are out cold already, and 15 are getting sleepy. I have a larger power reserve, but it's not going to hold long.
We have 50 Conduits, but that might not be enough.
Let's just hope our power holds out long enough.
20 Bots left.
11:00
22 Conduits are out, and more are low on power.
Still 15 Spam Bots.
13:00
40 Conduits are out, and I'm really low.
It's time to call Alex...
14:00
Alex is here, I'm just about out.
He's gotten rid of most of them.
I don't think I can hold out much--

Day 25 - Ex's Helicopter.
We've got a bunch of food left. No one is starving.
*Whizz's transmission kicks in*
WHAT?!
Somebody needs to get to him!
Where is he?!
First, we need to stop at the Community Showcase Tower. As soon as we get there, we can help Whizz.
*fifteen minutes later*
O.K, I talked to the bot we have captured, and apparently, they have come from the Support Area.
Wonderful.
We have to breach through that big messy jungle to get Whizz now, apparently he was taken to there.
Could this get ANY worse?!
