Wait, is the creature dead yet? If not, MELT ITS BRAIN

"An assassin? Could it be someone sent this monster to kill us or is he just a scout? Anyways, you're going down bug face!"

Kill it for good, otherwise check what he has.

Double post: So, this is going to die like the rest of your RtDs right?

I take the knife and the key card. I try to remember what sector it is needed for. What color is the section we are in now? And how far is it to the surface? Is there some kind of panic room or guardroom near our location? What should be the next action according to "safety protocol in case of enemy invasion" and "safety protocol in case of reactor accident"?

5: you remember that the orange card opens sectors with security ratings of 18 and lower. You are in a level 8 area. However, there is one security office area near hydroponics, 5 floors up, you are on level 12.

>Stab creature again, avoiding striking bone structure, and aiming for gut.

6: You stab the creature, and a thick purple ichor sprays from the wound. It tastes of iron and death.

"An assassin? Could it be someone sent this monster to kill us or is he just a scout? Anyways, you're going down bug face!"

Kill it for good, otherwise check what he has.

6: You see a small mechanical panel next to the tail, and you open it, revealing a small coppery rod connected to the weapon, which you take.

>Study bone structure of dead creature, looking for weaknesses.

If I somehow misread your post,
>Kill creature by stabbing then twisting the blade in it's gut.

STOP IGNORING MY POSTS

Blast the creature with the gun set so the plasma ball won't explode.

"Its already dead guys... I wonder if this thing might come in handy. How are we on the security cards Knolli?"

[knolli]

"You should know how many security doors and checkpoints we have to pass every day. With our cards we have clearance for security levels up to at least 8. With this one we can enter areas with security level up to 18. That should give us more mobility if we want to evade any more of these beasts."

I take a glimpse at the corpse.

"Alec, what's tanking you so long? It's weaknesses are obvious: It's an exosceleton and it has the same weaknesses as any armor: the joints.

We have wasted too much time already. Let's move to the next security office. We need to know how bad the situation really is. And then get out of here asap."

I go down the corridor towards the next exit/staircase/elevator, knife in hand. I am carefull and wary.

Fine, follow knolli and blast anything that's alive and isn't human.

"Well, we could always aim for the joints, but what if we knew which joints would really fuck it over?"

[SnakeMittens]

Neck joints?

Destroying knee joints would immobilize it, and destroying arm joints would probably incapacitate it.

Hmm, maybe neck joints would have the thing's spinal cord underneath? If so, we could paralyze the thing.

"Possibly removing a couple of legs to slow it down, followed by an exploding plasma ball to the neck could handle these things quite nicely..."

"Havn't you seen Starship Troopers? They tell you how to kill bugs. And how not to engage them. I think the best chance we have is to avoid fighting whenever possible. I want to get out of here alife. The military can deal with them. It's not our job. We are scientists."
