@SimplyJohn Well, judging from how they are claws, most modern (and I'm assuming futuristic or alien) claws will have to be made from the same substance: keratin. It's responsible for our fingernails and toenails, hair, horse hooves, claws amongst most different species of cat and dog, antlers, also in the shells of turtles and claws of reptiles. It's also found in the feathers, beak and talons of birds, along with the quills of the porcupine.

So it's safe to say that alien claws, no matter how biologically different from Earth animals or avians, will still be structurally similar if they have claws: through keratin, either superior in hardiness and toughness to our own Earth keratin proteins, or a higher, better form.

And the only thing that matches keratin in toughness is the chitin of insect shells. So either this thing is biologically similar in make to an animal, or it's an insect. Only two of those options, alien or no, it will be biologically similar.

I'm not a nurse IRL for nothing.

Unless it's a robot.

Which I'm guessing it's not.


It survived in a no-atmosphere environment at near absolute zero temperatures. It's a safe bet that it isn't a carbon based lifeform, or at least is so alien to Earth biology that it's unlikely that it shares many chemicals in common with us.

Well it must be a robot then.

Or some organic-robot hybrid.

Or a zombie.

@TTwoThumbsUp Code you say? Oh how lovely :) Marga may be able to help with that, if you don't mind. (And in a couple of hours time).

That's what happens when you're a self-righteous cyborg instead of being a sociopath who's only goal was to get inside.

Now watch as a plague doctor beats down something mean and bitey while the aforementioned sociopath and resident Ms. Fanservice blow up the ship by entering the wrong console command.

Sounds like a typical Bethesda game.

I got it figured once the shuttlebutt moves it's shuttlebutt. It combines the best of all options I think. Blood. Uncomfortable self-revelations. High speed kinetic impacts. Nanowelding. Threats of a vague and possibly sexual nature. The works.

This might just be the most intriguing sentence I've ever read.

Mostly pertaining to the how and why?


And now you have been caught by one of the central hooks for the narrative of the Invernova.

Oh, so that's why I started out as a prisoner?

Fallout: Lone Star. Coming soon to a PC and Xbox. But not Playstation for another three months.

And don't worry. Since it's a Bethesda game, you can survive with either console commands or by falling through that whole in the world mesh that's in the airlock's corner.

Well, judging from how they are claws...

I never actually stated they were claws, just that Favis perceived them as claws while his hand was stuck inside the locker getting cut. It's entirely possible that they could be something else entirely, and his impression that he was being cut by claws was mistaken, due to lack of information available to make an informed judgment.

The space yetis will not be impressed.

The thing to remember here is that at least half of what I tell you is a complete lie, and the other half is made up on the spot.

Ughhhh, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to continue this. Sorry to ditch you guys, I thought I'd be able to do it, but them creative juices aren't flowing too well.

Sorry to see you go. Would you like to be written out in an appropriately climactic way, or left on the side lines in case you want to rejoin later?

Actually we've got the PS version nailed, but Microsoft are still dragging their heels over the tentacle monster pit in the cargo bay. Apparently it's not family friendly to have it raping Japanese schoolgirls on a continuous twenty minute loop. I tried to explain how the QTE is essential to the plot, but they're just not having it.

Sell it as DLC. Then we don't have to run it by ESRB.

Or leave all the neccesssary files in the code. Someone will probably find it an hour after it's released and by the next day someone will have already made it into a mod.

Next thing you know start supporting and packaging for paid mods and badabing badaboom free money with minimal work

You could just try pressing the big red button Simon found, not that he's told any of the others about it yet.
