Let's Play Iji
<< | ^^ | >>
Sector 2: Reality
Second Part
I can jump this high now!
IJI
Wait, what's this? It's another of Mia's ribbons! Some rat must've found it and dragged it in here.
Mia... you probably weren't far from dad and me, when the Tasen struck this place. Looks like me and Dan are the only ones who survived.
Wait, I have to find Krotera, I gotta focus!
Be wary of turrets, for they can be found using a wide variety of weapons.
And I'm back here! But this time, I can reach that ledge above the area.
This is how one can deal with most enemies! That X-like shape at the end of the gun indicates that the enemy is charging up a powerful attack - in this case, a rocket. It gives you time to duck.
How long is that Elite Krotera gonna keep us on guard duty? The Komato won't ever find us here, we totally trashed the aliens in this place, and it's not like we could defend ourselves if the Imperial Army actually did find us now. There's no reason to stay armed and alert when we've finally found a safe place, when we should rebuild what little we have instead of spending all our resources on weapons and Nanotechnology research. How much do they think they can pull out of this space rock, anyway?
I'm even starting to wonder if the aliens on this planet are as hostile as we thought, or if Krotera's new position is just getting to him. The guy's a walking insult to Hel Sarie. Still, orders are orders. I don't want to lose my own head when we've come this far.
Security door I can't beat!
I'll need to find another way through it.
Two kills with one kick!
I am a stone cold motherfucker.
Ironically, now I COULD crack that door - but I don't have to. That terminal opens it for me.
IJI
I'll do what I want, okay? I don't need my little brother bossing me around!
LET'S DO DANGEROUS SHIT FOR NO REASON
All right! Now I have insurance in case I take any HP damage.
LET'S ROLL
Tasen Elite
Armor: 100
HP: 15
Weight: 9
Security: 6
Height: 2.9m
I REALLY DON'T HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH YOU, TURRETFACE
Just gotta keep furiously keeping the damage up, and never get hit by his giant blue things!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
Valuable tactic!
If you kick a turret, and the head runs into an enemy, they take 1 HP damage.
KABLAM
My reward: Some marginally useful items, and a brief glimpse of outside.
Hmm...
Much backtracking later, I'm back at this door!
My Crack skill is higher now!
COMBINE SHOTGUN AND MACHINEGUN
The reward for my labor:
Buster gun
Damage: 72 armor
Reload Time: 0.267 seconds
Muzzle Velocity: 420 m/s
Requirements: Shotgun, Machinegun, Crack 3
Ammunition: 3.75 machinegun clips / second
Basically, the Buster Gun is a super-rapid fire version of the shotgun that works by consuming machinegun ammo. Handy!
Anyway, we have spent PLENTY long enough in this place.
And exit!
DAN
Iji, don't go out there.
IJI
What? Why not?
DAN
Because. I don't want you to see what it looks like. You're not ready for that yet.
DAN
But - you won't like it, trust me. It's for your own good.
IJI
Geez, stop hiding everything from me! I'd like to know what's going on around here too! Maybe I'd just like to get some fresh air for once, see what the Tasen spaceship looks like!
IJI
Hmph.
IJI
They're... he, he said there was only ONE...
Oh no...
IJI
leave me alone! You, You LIAR!
DAN
Listen, I tried to warn you. I lied to you because there was no way you would accept to do this otherwise, but now you know. The Tasen command an entire armada, and they Alpha Struck the whole planet. The Strike was a weak one, to avoid destroying the surface completely, but the human survivors are few.
This complex is the center of the Tasen colony, and their fleet. That's why they left it intact. We can only assume they will eventually spread to the rest of the planet. I know, it's not much of a world to save, but...
IJI
It's just a dream... isn't it?
DAN
Stay calm, I don't want you to lose control. That's the most dangerous thing you can do. You have to trust me, and you have to believe that we can convince Krotera to make them leave.
IJI
But... I'm not some kind of, I was just -
DAN
Damn it, I knew this'd happen! Everything... all of this will be for nothing unless you make it to Krotera!
IJI
Okay.
DAN
Good. I should've told you earlier to leave your feelings behind. I forgot that you haven't been around for the last six months.
IJI
Dan...
DAN
I - maybe you think I'm pushing you too hard, but please, unless you keep moving they'll catch up to you.
IJI
Right.
DAN
I don't want to be me, either.
Next time: Sector 3.
