UNDER THE WATCHFUL GAZE OF WADJET EYE...
WORMWOOD STUDIOS PRESENTS...
PRIMORDIA
(aka A Canticle for Roxorowicz)
Pressing start game causes the cute little butterfly (?) to fly away...
Towards this here wreckage.
Meanwhile, an ominous figure appears on an overlooking cliff...
(not this figure)
Meet HoratioNelson. This here techpriest guy will be our main character.
And now meetCrispy Crispin. This here floating ball will be our chief sidekick.
Speaking of which, boss, I found exactly *none* of the parts you wanted. A whole day at the junk pile, and all I turn up are a locker and some stupid conduits. Maybe *next* time...
Suddenly, there's a loud shaking across the place
Uh, boss, are you *sure* you got those settings right?
Crispy is voiced by Rabbi Stone/Joey, btw
That came from down in Engineering. Let's go!
There is no time to be lost!
Battle brothers!
Btw the walking animations for Horatio are REALLY weird.
Robot... thingies!
TODAY THE ENEMY IS AT OUR DOOR
WE KNOW OUR DUTY AND WE WILL DO IT.
Who are you and what do you want?
[Intelligence] I think he wants the power core, boss.
CRIMINAL SCUM
YOUR STOLEN GOODS ARE NOW...
FORFEIT. ENEMY. PLUNDER.
I don't think he's too keen on private property.
Get away from the power core.
FORFEIT!
shit
Good job, Horatio.
You fuck up not even 5 minutes into the game.
DECEPTICONS HAVE STOLEN THE MATRIX
And the ship goes dark.
The evil robot walks away into the sunset, while Horatio somehow gets ditched into a nearby field of scrap.
BOSS! Horatio? Come on, Horatio, wake up!
Whew! You're okay!
What happened?
Well, big ugly threw you out of the ship. And then he said, "PLUNDER". Again. And then he left with our power core.
B'sod.
Yep.
How much charge have you got?
10%, you?
I'll be fine. We just need to get the emergency generator up and running. I *told* you it needed to be repaired.
Or we could just go to Metropol, "The city of glass and light. Free energy for one and all!"
City of Light, huh. THIS IS SET IN THE AFTERFALL UNIVERSE
Don't believe everything you hear. Metropol is trouble.
Chief programmer A. Tokaj has taught Horatio well
But if you want to go, you've got free will and a mag-lev unit.
With that guilt subroutine you've put in me, I wouldn't even make it half way.
Actually, with a 10% charge, you wouldn't even make it that far. So I suggest we get the generator working.
Sigh. You and your projects.
Man built us to build, Crispin. Now, come on.
We get a Crispy icon in the hud. He'll be useful in many situations. He'll also be annoying.
We also grab this thingy here
I must have dropped my data pouch when I was thrown out of the UNNIIC
B'sod! Its memory got wiped. Easy enough to add the good old junkpile's coordinates back in though.
Two new icons on the hud. The map screen which you've seen just now.
And the data screen that
*gasp*
Collects various data.
There's nothing to find at the tailwing of the UNNIIC, Horatio claims he's pretty much stripped everything clean of useful parts here already, so we take a ride to the junkpile
This looks promising.
How do you think a train wound up around here, boss?
Maybe they brought it here by boat.
Very funny
O hey, fat loot box
It's locked tight.
Curses, foiled again.
There's a piece of Gordium conduit way back there. I can't reach the conduit.
Fly, little droid!
Crispin, can you go in there and get that piece of conduit?
I suppose...
That would have been a lot easier with hands, boss.
Some more conduits lying around hier.
It's three pieces of Gordium conduit. Unfortunately, one of them is completely corroded and worthless.
Let's get back to the ranch!
It's the UNNIIC's tag. Without it, I'd have never known the ship's name.
Apparently, building a giant airship doesn't require proper spelling.
Apparently not.
"UNNIIC" is quite obviously not what the tag said originally, and the letters must have weathered in time. Wonder what could be its true name.
No time for that, though, there's shit to fix.
Let's grab a cable.
And check this contraption.
Crispin, when I told you to find a new spark plug, did you just shove my conductive putty into the old one?
Err, maybe.
No wonder the generator isn't working. At least the putty is still good.
Now who's the procrastinator?
Another one to the collection.
Also, there's a really annoying bug with this generator. Sometimes, the zoom-in refuses to close, Horatio starts moving in a wonky way, and if you alt-tab, the friggin game crashes
Let's go up.
The cutesy butterfly (?) was lured by the glowlamp, desu desu ^___^
What was I thinking leaving all my lanterns up there?
Crispy to the rescue!
Could you grab that lantern?
Sure thing, boss.
You know, I always wanted to be able to fly. That's why I built you with a mag-lev unit.
Not so that you could store tools on hard-to-reach ledges?
Well, that too.
And that's the fifth conduit we'll need.
Let's go further up.
I want to have sex with those graphics.
An old captain's chair. I moved it up here from navigation.
A large observational telescope. Without power from the ship, the telescope won't work.
Bad timing with those repairs, huh, boss?
Clouds of Xeen.
Strange clouds, huh, boss?
Only a sliver left before the moon wanes entirely.
Well, I'm glad we're not the only ones running out of power.
Trying to go down the hatch...
Fortunately, we are prepared in the event that our enemies would be so bold and so foolish
Placing numerous lanterns allows us to do multiple and simultaneous defensive deep strikes down the hatch.
Bed-time reading.
It couldn't hurt to bring the Gospel of Man with us.
Going to pray for a miracle, boss?
*We* are Man's miracle, Crispin. Let's hope that's enough.
Let's see what we can find in this gospel...
NOT THIS GOSPEL OF MAN
Cool.
Also, we take a look under the bed.
So *that's* where you keep it.
Why were you looking for my plasma torch?
No reason *whistling*
o_ó
This is as far as we go for now.
However, now we can do some...
WELDIN'!!!!!
FIRST WE WELD OFF A PIECE OF THE CABLE
THEN
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
WE WELD TOGETHER SUM CONDUITS
AHAHAHA GIMME MORE @_@
Wow, that was easier than I thought it would be.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
AND YOU THINK I'M DONE?
HELL NO
HUEHUEHUEHUE
BUZZ BUZZ
Is that a spark plug, boss? Who locks up a spark plug?
Err... actually, I think that box was some kind of a machine.
You killed it!
*Recycled* it.
Now we can put the fused conduit in the socket.
As well as stick a spark plug in the gap.
And push the red switch!
Let there be light!
Phew, I thought we were in trouble when big ugly stole our power core. But just like that, problem solved.
The problem is *not* solved.
Well, I agree, the noise leaves something to be desired.
This is an emergency generator, Crispin.
Well, it *was* an emergency, boss.
It only runs for a few days, if that.
Oh. Well, do we have another one?
No. Which means it is *still* an emergency.
Well, in that case... First dibs on the recharge station!
So, what's the plan, boss?
We need to recover our power core.
Or we could just take the train to Metropol and live in luxury!
First of all, there is no train to Metropol, and, second, even with full charges, we can't just walk there. But more importantly... I hate that city. It's in my core logic. I don't know why, but I can't change it.
Okay, okay. In that case, can't you just make us a new power core?
Yes. But I need some kind of strong energy source for that.
Can't you just make one of those too? I'm just asking!
No. But somewhere around here are the plans for an energy sensor.
That's awfully convenient.
Yes
I designed it a long time ago, before I made you. I even found a sodium iodide crystal to use in the sensor, though Man alone knows where it's buried now.
Aaaaand that's all for today, folks. Next update, we'll try to look for a new power core... and embark on an EPIC QUEST FOR VENGEANCE, to COLLAR GRAB a bunch of EVIL ROBOTS that STOLE OURTITS ENERGY.
STAY TUNED!
Also, Primordia has achievements! Here's what we've managed to achieve thus far.
