THE ALIEN HORDES↴ On the morning of Day 44, things go a bit differently. The carnival opens it's doors and for an hour, things are going just fine...until the aliens attack, that is. ► ALIEN INVASION: The carnival, the athlete's village, and Olympic Spaceship will find themselves overrun by aliens: specifically, a race called the Greimen. The name's accurate: they look like stereotypical grey aliens, only 2-4 feet tall. They're invading the spaceship and the planet, trying to take control of Zargon and Olympic Spaceship for themselves. The main strength these aliens have is their numbers: there's literally thousands of them. Unfortunately for the aliens, they don't have many other strengths. They're easily punchable, kickable, ray guns permanently set to stun, and other amusing space weapons designed to minorly inconvenience people. ► FUCK THIS SHIT I'M OUT: The fighting lasts for a good half-hour or so before the Ringmaster decides no, this is dumb. Characters who aren't at the carnival will feel a compulsion to return to the carnival. Once everyone's there, the Ringmaster will magically eject the remaining aliens from carnival grounds and yank the carnival away from the Olympics themselves. ► OOC GUIDELINES: Despite the fact that this is a fight log, the carnage shouldn't be too excessive! No horribly mutilating the aliens, y'all. The aliens are only mildly better equipped than the Space Olympics themselves, so everything will be a bit comedic and light-hearted. Characters can get hurt, but the wounds should tend more towards 'amusing injuries' than 'someone losing a leg'. As the log's forward-dated, feel free to keep doing all your fun space olympics nonsense in the other logs!

Cole's eyestalk bobs up and down in an approximation of a nod. And then, he holds still! Cole remains still for as long as Rita needs him to be, as the whisk and plunger looking parts of his 'arms' are replaced with actual hands. He's also quiet, letting her work without distraction.

It's when the hands are fully attached that Cole speaks. "Are you done?"

This is good. Granted, he still can't bend over, but at least he can open doors now.

There's some whirring and clanging and a fwoosh from the various tools Rita rapidly swaps in and out of her hands as she works, but before long, Cole is fitted with those hands as neatly as if they'd always been a part of that robotic exterior.

"Yeah, that should do it. Try moving them." Rita's confident they'll work fine, though. She seems to have figured out how the movable parts of the shell connect to the... thing inside it.

"This should give you more versatility, but... I'd be careful if you're planning on hanging around here much longer," she goes on to advise him. "This sector's quieted down, but it sounds like things are still escalating in other parts of the station." It wouldn't take much to get caught up in more of the fighting.

Cole moves them—oh, they're moving! He lets out a small noise of surprise then continues to move his hands, opening and closing the 'fingers' just because he can. Well this is amazing. His opinion of Rita was already pretty great, but now it's just getting better.

At her words of advice, he nods. "I need to be around to steal more things," Cole explains. Now, with all the chaos, it's a good time to just straight up steal stuff from the Space Olympics. "This will help. Thank you."

"Right..." Rita murmurs, mild disapproval in her tone. Stealing. Of course.

"Well, whatever. Do what you want. But if things get hairy, come back right away. Wouldn't want you to become part of the scrap heap they've got started here." She nods to the broken robot bits strewn about the floor.

Cole's eyestalk bobs up and down in a nodding fashion. "They can see me, but I know how to be quiet. I won't be hurt."

He starts to roll away but pauses and turns back to Rita.

"You should be safe also." She's still Rita! He still cares about her and doesn't want her to get hurt!
