Rimworld Episode 38: The New DLC Comes Out In Like 5 Hours And My Mods Won't Be Compatible Anymore

[A Chinese opium den]

I want to be on the helicopter's maiden voyage.

Colin McRae is the pilot.

Dying in a funny helicopter crash isn't such a bad way to go.

[Stack of Turtles]

Paint the helicopter pink and make Dorfleet's wife pilot it. Trust me on this.

[DemoGraph]

Gaylene, here I come!

Edit: sad.
Edit 2. Helicopter should be named Helly. It should be red.

[MC_Sea]

Gaylene certainly isn't a looker but she sure seems compitent at the very least. Let's see how well I fare in the dice of love.

Edit: IT'S TIME FOR SOME LOVE BABY!

Musa = 3/3 (I just saw your roll)

I should have added another comment.

[Oyster Sauce]

Episode 32: Red 7 At Long Last


Gaylene has arrived! She came with a full set of power, a charge SMG, and an explosive suicide vest. Good luck, Mick.



Due to Musa's ****** roll, 50 alphabeavers have migrated to our area. They'll be gnawing down every tree they can until we finish hunting them. Next time somebody rolls these guys, it's gonna be 100.



Bizarre request, but an orbital bombardment targeter sounds pretty fun.



All she sends us is a golden cube. Stack takes a shining to it.



Gaylene takes it upon herself to start studying the cube.



Setting up remote pollution pumps outside of the base. I don't know what'll happen if this place gets too polluted and I don't want to find out.



Rusty wants to turn back the clock a bit.



He carries the prisoner to the ritual site.



Candles are lit, a sacrifice is offered, and he starts chanting.



Meanwhile, another ritual is taking place. Congratulations, Stack and Koze.



It is done. Rusty is about 8 years younger. He even gets some color in his hair back.



Surely this will have no dire consequences





The test crew stands around the newly christened Red 7. As you can see, we're outfitting everyone with shield belts now that can soak up a few hits.



The chopper is loaded with fuel, snacks and then lifts off



It's remarkably quick. They get to the mission site in a matter of minutes. This is bug territory, creep and nests blanket the ground below.



Touchdown



Weirdly enough, despite the clear signs of buggery, there are only a few insects visible outside.



Kalarion spots some swarmlings darting from a door



He investigates and finds a closet full of sleeping bugs, even an empress. Carefully, he shuts the door and moves on.



Another bug closet. This one even has a pair of black hive queens.



Looking elsewhere, Hoss trips an unstable fuel node and lights the place on fire. BD finds a comms console that can be used to call in a supply drop nearby.



Aaaand it's just bags of trash that we produce constantly back home. Pass.



Nobody wants to leave empty handed, so Duke switches to defensive stance and tanks this closet. We can use the empress' pherocore if nothing else.



The same tactic is tried here, but the kweens split up and flank us on each side. Kalarion gets a spine or a mandible or a claw through back of his leg all the way to one of his little toesies which he loses



A familiar rumbling is heard. The team "bugs" out to the Red 7, Kalarion trailing a bit behind



Once he's on they take off just in time as a swarm of creeps start flooding the facility. The chopper is really nice. The capacity for loot and personnel are the main drawbacks, but we can get quests completed very quickly without having people leave the base for days or weeks at a time.



Vergil discovers that the golden cube can psychically effect people somehow. It'll need to be studied further to prevent the effects. Stack's interest is growing, sometimes he drops whatever he's doing to go play with it.



We're up to 4 fabricors now. They can basically run the kitchen by themselves. Better to have them working on more important tasks though, so we restrict them from going in there.



Having the helicopter emboldens us to investigate the ARC generator from like 25 episodes ago further. We've known about this site of a failed prototype for a long time now. It seems to be guarded by a swarm of vicious butterflies.



Why didn't I get the R7 in this shot? Anyway, they looked very cool deploying from it to shoot these incredibly weak Pokemon. Fin is replacing Kalarion since he's in the hospital right now.



Fin finds a pallet with a bunch of gas cans on it and refuels. Hoss scraps the prototype for parts while BD hacks a terminal to discover the location another. Mission complete.



Gathering for Herma's birth...



It's a boy! Because this was a diplomatic marriage, her original faction sends us gifts. Oyster leaves baby Austin Sauce pissing and sleeping on the floor.



As if to celebrate the occasion, a ton of chimeras attack the base



They're really tanky and get a speed buff when they take damage



Our megapedes intercept them at the door. Val stands ready in case they get past and break in.



Repositioning shooters to fire into the mass of enemies



The MAGApedes managed to buy enough time for them all to be brought down. Salute.



Boon makes it back to the hospital in time to deliver Hope Danger. He doesn't even bother patching up the bullet wound in his head first. Helmets save lives.



Here are the genes she inherited. All that and she can't even breathe fire. Consider this a warning about the dangers of miscegenation.



Dorfleet scrambles to get out of the way of the helicopter. We should probably set up a helipad.



Chuck and Waifu FINALLY get married. They've been engaged for forever.



Two naked men start wrestling during the celebration. Truly the perfect wedding entourage for a nudist.



Stack is getting more and more obsessed with the Golden Cube



While out hunting, Elias notices that it's getting unnaturally dark outside. It's only like 1pm.



A shuttle picks up the 16 guys who've been mooching off of us. It feels lonely without them now.



We get our rewards though. If you want the womb for yourself or a loved one, roll 99, roll 98 for the psychic levitation implant, and 97 for the psychic shield implant.







Musa has his bestowing ceremony in the library (because he is very smart and well-read). He can roll a 17 to determine the psycasting path he'll take.



It's getting impossibly dark now, and strange artifacts are raining from the sky. We can investigate them, but there are things whispering in the darkness.





We should be fine inside, at least as long as the power doesn't go out.

[DemoGraph]

I'm on a roll!

Edit. Okay, may I add +5 modifiers after the roll? If yes, I do +15.
Edit edit. She HAS to be named Alice, come on! And give her some uber knife!

[WhiteShark]

How many coins to make Chuck wear clothes?

[Oyster Sauce]

Ideally bonuses would be called before the roll, but I'm unwilling to go back and verify timestamps

[Oyster Sauce]

How many coins to make Chuck wear clothes?

4

[Jordy]

I ain't rolling for an animal hater.

I will roll the D20 of Heaven and Hell though, seeing as I've never done it before.

[Oyster Sauce]

Duke was exposed to some radiation while getting sealed into his new armor and developed early dementia. Several of our guys have it now, we've gotta figure something out here.

He lost the dementia somehow. You can lose age related illnesses by reversing your age to a point lower than they start appearing, so my theory is that the birthday check ran, saw he was too young for dementia, and removed it. We'll see if the same thing happens to 頬白鮫. We can keep doing the chronophagy ritual every 5 days by the way.

[Tweed]

I want that hover thingy.

EDIT: Were we supposed to roll a d100 and score a 98 for the thingy...or roll a d98 for the thingy?

[A Chinese opium den]

I would also like to sacrifice a negro to make myself younger, at the next convenience.

[LemonDemonGirl]

Why is the baby just laying on the floor lmao

If animals can do it then why not?

[Stack of Turtles]

I'll roll to give my new wife the archotech womb I guess.

How old am I right now?

[rusty_shackleford]

Rusty kills people all the time, how is this any different?

[Finarfin]

Finally my character does SOMETHING, even if it's something miniscule as replacing Kal since he is out for now.

[Tweed]

Rusty kills people all the time, how is this any different?

Presumably the unwilling participant is yelling and screaming the entire time and partaking of otherwordly powers take a toll on the psyche, kind of like the crash after coming off caffeine.

But he got caught having a secret tryst with a high ranking noble, he's to be executed.

[Tangerine]

roll 98 for the psychic levitation implant, and 97 for the psychic shield implant.

Those could be useful.

[Tweed]

Yeah I want both of those, let me roll right this time.

EDIT: If I had a brain I'd be dangerous.
