Zecker has it there, good work.
> Circle around the amphitheater to the other side to see if there is anything you can use as a distraction.
Behind the amphitheater cover gets more sparse and there's more chance of being seen, but you are able to keep your head down as you approach The Book There are plenty of stray rocks and broken chunks of the amphitheater and more glowing crystal/plant things, but little besides that. Because the asteroid that you are on is quite small, the horizon curves away rapidly in the distance,
> Throw a tomato at someone? Maybe?
You hurl a tomato at one of the members of the audience at the back. they certainly start looking around for who threw it, but the rest of the audience has their attention focused on the demagoguery of The Lady of Freedom

Change your SPIKEY HAIR into an AIRSHIP KEY.
...said the liar.
> Change your SPIKEY HAIR into an AIRSHIP KEY.
[Valid]
All the hair on your head vanishes and is replaced by a large brass key. You spend a moment getting it out of your helmet. However there is currently no corresponding airship at the moment.

Zecker
Put the AIRSHIP KEY into our bag. Change the GEIGER COUNTER into URGENT ICE OGRE then TITANIUM RINGS to URINATING MIST.
As soon as the distraction starts head towards the Book of Escapes, either behind the podium or around the crowd whatever way the crowd is going to blend in as much as you can.
...said the liar.
> Put the AIRSHIP KEY into our bag. Change the GEIGER COUNTER into URGENT ICE OGRE then TITANIUM RINGS to URINATING MIST.
You pull out the geiger counter and set it down and touch it, transforming it into a large hulking shape made of white fur and bristled hide. It stands up rushing toward the podium shouting loudly ignoring you.
"It's too late! Disaster is upon us! The Silver City brings it's army to bear! Raise the alarm!" Which certainly merits some attention.
Moments later you pull out a few of your piercings and touching them, transform into a foul smelling yellowish mist. You find yourself quickly drenched in foul smelling urine and unable to see more than a few feet infront of you.
> As soon as the distraction starts head towards the Book of Escapes, either behind the podium or around the crowd whatever way the crowd is going to blend in as much as you can.
You feel your way around the back of the podium area, visibility and sense of smell seriously hindered and manage to grab the green stone book from it's plinth.

Immediately leave the area very quickly, mostly looking down at the ground in front of us so that we don't trip or anything of the sort.

> Immediately leave the area very quickly, mostly looking down at the ground in front of us so that we don't trip or anything of the sort.
There are shouts of alarm behind you as the guests seem to have realised that something is wrong and in the mist you actually bump into a couple, who seem too preoccupied to look at you in detail. The Ogre is stirring things up with dire warnings and above it all you can hear The Lady of Freedom urging preparation, paranoia and looking out for yourself.
You sprint over back the way you came and leave the disgusting mists, You can see the asteroid that houses the ship over the horizon. Although gravity still appears to be optional here. The gap is as wide as it was when you arrived.

See if we can quickly find the bit where we jumped from last time and jump to there from our current asteroid.

> See if we can quickly find the bit where we jumped from last time and jump to there from our current asteroid.
It takes a bit of searching for the spot you used last time, but with some effort you manage to find your previous landing spot by the scuff marks you left on landing.
However The Lady of Freedom floats effortlessly in you direction and her wild mob of braying deformed bodies lumber after her.
You leap... and manage to stick the landing, but The Lady of Freedom and her servants simply float across the intervening distance, hot on your trail.

Grab 3 fruits from your bag turn around and turn the THREE FRUITS into FIRE SHUTTER and run towards the Asimov.

> Grab 3 fruits from your bag turn around and turn the THREE FRUITS into FIRE SHUTTER and run towards the Asimov.
You throw down the fruits and a set of red painted metal shutters collapse to the ground behind you. It barely slows the advancing monsters, but buys you a couple of seconds.

Running is all about from, and you are running, you see the entrance to the cave complex that leads into the Furies cavern and beyond that to the ship. Do you go down and risk the Furies or go around and almost certainly get caught?

Risk the Furies' cavern. The survivors of the ship don't deserve to have the Lady of Freedom visit them again.

> Risk the Furies' cavern. The survivors of the ship don't deserve to have the Lady of Freedom visit them again.
You dash forward and almost slide down into the stone tunnel, you sprint past the cavern of the Furies which are currently tearing apart something made of meat as you approach. They quickly abandon it and scramble to their feet, revelling in the joy of the chase.
Your legs feel like they are burning battery acid as you approach the wreckage of the ship. However inside the turret gun is probably still active. It might take them minutes to disable it, even if they are standing by waiting for you. Minutes that you don't have.

Run for the Fire Alter and summon the angel as quickly as you can. While also hiding the book of escapes in your bag.

Wait! The Angel told us to sacrifice somebody, which we didn't do! I don't think summoning her is a good idea...

...said the liar.
> Run for the Fire Alter and summon the angel as quickly as you can. While also hiding the book of escapes in your bag.
You get down to the spot where the Angel last appeared to you.
Hurriedly lighting the candles there, the gateway opens.
Before you stand the legions of the Silver City, led by the Angel its self.
Behind you is the army of Freedom and in a terrifying moment, they clash with you between them.
Disciplined Silver swords clash with an innumerably chaotic horde of crude clubs and stones, molatov cocktails and Kalashnikov rifles. Every one of them out for themselves.
You are in the midst of the crossfire, cut by both sides and nearly crushed under foot as you see above you the Angel and the Lady of Freedom standing tall above their minions, not deigning to involve themselves directly, but goading them to self annihilating violence with mutual glee.
You are now mortally wounded and have little room to move due to the weight of the conflict above you.

Try to scootch out of the conflict while also trying to stay hidden from the Lady of Freedom and the Angel. When we think we're safe (i.e, away from the battle and the two powers overseeing it) run.

> Try to scootch out of the conflict while also trying to stay hidden from the Lady of Freedom and the Angel. When we think we're safe (i.e, away from the battle and the two powers overseeing it) run.
You are at the epicentre of the conflict and more combatants are pouring in from either side, it's going to be hard to wriggle through that sort of mob without getting stabbed more. Also, where are you trying to run to?

Use Silver Rod and your Sword to defend yourself as best you can. If it looks like it is the end for you, open the book of escapes and use it to get into the Asimov, behind the turret if possible.

> Use Silver Rod and your Sword to defend yourself as best you can. If it looks like it is the end for you, open the book of escapes and use it to get into the ship, behind the turret if possible.
You have the sword in one hand and the book in the other as you try to ward off the chaotic rain of blows. You stumble toward the doors of the ship for a few paces before something large and heavy leaps onto your back.
You open the book, bleeding to death and inside you can see a picture of your home. The real world in the 21st Century.
