Null rescues the unconscious Severin and patches him up, and sticks a bionic leg on him. Dave tries to rescue an animal and gets a facefull of inferno cannon for his trouble, I don't know why I even bother with these nitwits. He almost manages to hop to the infirmary on his own but finally passes out from blood loss 2 doors away from it. DocSeverin is also cluelessly hunting a rabbit and tries to take a scyther 1 on 1 in melee, and loses his fucking leg, though his boar companions take down the scyther that did for his leg while he retreats. A couple boars are grazing outside the wall, blissfully unaware of the danger until the scythers' charge lances splatter their guts across the dell. They have to walk all the way around to the front gate on the west side, which means the scythers get separated from the caterpillars. He's out of commission for a day.ġ1 Dec - Mechanoids arrive from the east. She makes short work of it with her plasteel sword, and only gets a couple scratches.Ĩ Dec - Stienman commits an accidental slight at Dei, and she can't take his shit anymore, and beats him up. This should keep a colonist warm even in temperatures as low as -40c.Ħ Dec - Dirona, while drilling for chemfuel, is attacked by a timber wolf. As the trek north will head into the icecap, materials are outlayed for heavy parkas and tuques, and lots of spare extra clothing. And there's gonna be a bumper crop of plasteel.Ĥ Decembruary - Policy changes in clothing patterns come down the pipe - Cowboy hats and light jackets, previously serviceable in the region's warm summers and comparatively gentle winters, are now out. Considering there were EIGHT scythers and a caterpillar inside, it could have gone a lot worse. Pez gets his nose shot off in the fight against the mechanoids. A decent amount of the crop is salvaged before the temperatures kill it. Pictured: DocSeverin's weapon gleams as he draws it to finish off DocĢ Decembruary - a Cold Snap rolls in in the middle of the night, and a psychic ship chunk crashes right next to the killzone. Word comes through the grapevine, though, that the pirates are not done for, and have picked a new leader named Aleksander "Fjellsmel" Fjellanger. His last sight in this world was DocSeverin standing over him, raising his plasteel longsword, and then swinging it down in a powerful stroke. He met his end on Septober 15th, 5509, gunned down on a raid on West Acapulco. The torment drove him to unsanctioned areas of science, and when he was exposed for the mad scientist he was, he had to flee to the rimworlds, where he became a pirate king. He had to work extra hard to get into university, where he was bullied as a charity case. James "Doc" Grey, it turns out, was a child prodigy born on a war-torn glitterworld, where his father was killed in action. The leader of the Ash Cutlass Pirates is executed on the spot. Doesn't matter, between the mortars and cunning strategy, they're pounded into mush, and their leader is downed. Seems they must have noticed the buildup of supplies in the settlement, because they've come heavier than usual. The leader of their faction is heading this assault himself. Pictured: There's no way this will turn out to be a complete and utter waste of time, right?ġ5 Sept - Another bunch of sappers flies in on drop pods, and lands to the southeast.

Amy takes one AND gets a volley of turret friendly-fire. Dave takes three exploding kamikazi jihadrats right in the face. Suddenly, all the boomrats in the area turn mad. This should shave days, maybe weeks, off their journey north. That should feed the entire tribe (but not the animals) for 45 days.Ĩ Sept - A fleet of pod launchers is constructed, large enough to hopefully send the tribe, its food, and pack animals all at once. Guess that third kitchen really kicked in to high gear.

A grenade hits a clump of defenders, but nothing more serious than a toe is lost.Ħ Sept - The number of packaged survival meals is now 2000. The hills have little more to offer than boomrats these days, which are problematic to hunt and offer a low return on investment.Ĥ Sept - Sapper raid from the south. Congratulations! Kags does follow up installing a peg leg and fails so catastrophically she nearly manages to kill the animal.ġ Septober - The food production is back on track, but overhunting is depleting the area. 15 Jug - Ravenpoe successfully installs a bionic spine in a boar that got his own destroyed by mechanoid charge-lance fire.
