    Occasionally, mankind bumps into an alien species with a similar modus operandi. That's when it all hits the fan. We have our shiny terraforming equipment, all very clean, scientific and user-friendly. They have spore colonies, pulsating gestation cysts and mutation chambers, held together by a slimy sentient biofilm that oozes menacingly all over the landscape.

    Nice stealth Zerg reference. :)

    (Yeah, I'm a couple weeks behind and catching up...)

    Well the Kharaa were busy while you talked to seemingly the last Precursor alive.

    I just hope you can get away in time.

    Life drinker is obviously The Bleeder, but Small Thunder... Biter maybe?
    I can imagine the blighter is probably Deep Small Thunder.

    Maybe have a chapter that categorizes the roles that the creatures of Manannan had against the Kharaa (After Selkirk escapes the mysterious threat).

    'Small Thunder' is the Crashfish. 'Life Drinker' is indeed the Bleeder. 'Long Talon' is the Reaper. 'Far Jumper' is the Warper. 'Sky Fire Swimmer' is the Amp Eel. 'Shadow Walker' is the Crabsquid. I've tried to make the alt-names as descriptive as possible, so it's not really necessary to devote a whole chapter to re-defining the planet's wildlife. These creatures still behave in exactly the same manner as they do in the game.

    Why couldn't Polyakov ask ALECTO to turn the light back on?

    Because he's an idiot?

    He could have. the real question is, would ALECTO have complied? im guessing Selkirk gave specific procedure locks on anything Polyakov requested since he never trusted him from the get go ..... dunno

    Re: Turning the lights back on?

    All of the above. Plus a bit more.

    Did he possibly get the plans for the PPSH-41's from some sekrit dokuments?

    Not as Immune as you thought, now are you Polyakov. As Selkirk said "Welcome to Hell."

    2:1 scale sketch of Polykov's brain:

    right there > .

    Wow, he's dense. How many more humiliations and power displays must Polyakov endure before he realises he's hopelessly outwitted and outgunned? Mentioning the weapon fabrication templates and access codes was also a bad idea, Selkirk can probably find and delete them now.

    I wonder if Polyakov will get turned inside-out by the Valyrie Field on his "last life" and end up mercy killed.

    Selkirk might be best described as a Level 50+ TechnoMage/Mechanist. Alignment: Chaotic good.

    'Old School' point of reference.

    @Rainstorm Not just in my youth. My last serious D&D session was well over a decade ago. Never did the Leviathan campaigns, though. Also quite partial to GURPS, Morrow Project, Shadowrun and Car Wars. Currently revisiting Might & Magic VI, just for old time's sake. :)

    Yep. Wouldn't have it any other way.

    A class V would basically be the same thing, but would've also had something about his mother in there...
