Narrative Game 12

 Stheno- The Mighty

Caught up on what happened to the others during your battle with Euryale, you rocket towards Stheno, determined to prevent it from killing anyone else. On your way, you check in on Sam and Ga'Rook too. They answer quickly, and seem determined to avenge Roland. You warn them to be careful, but since you're doing the same thing, there isn't much else to be said. Finally, just as you cut all communication, you come across the sea of Gorgons Squad B is facing. You can see Ten and Trion weaving around the edges, barely preventing them from moving forward, but your target is at the center. Stheno, a red Gorgon comprised out of giant anacondas, all braided together into a very dangerous rope.

As you lock onto your target, a message suddenly appears on your HUD. One of your ship's augments is finally ready and will be warped to your position immediately. Soon after, a swirling ring of light appears. As it dissipates, you fly directly at the augment, letting the advanced electro-magnetic latches on your ship attach it for you. *Looking out your window, you can see that the engineering team on Perseus finished the advanced flight augment first, giving your ship another set of wings made from an ancient, lightweight alloy in the shape of eagle wings. As you begin to fly the ship closer to Stheno, you can't help but smile. "Perfect." you say to yourself, as maneuvering through this tide of Gorgons just became a lot easier.

*[Here the player will likely receive a random augment thanks to Twine, but for the case of this draft I am going to go ahead and choose one. I might also just allow one to be chosen and write separate entries for them, as I already want the player to have more options and this is a good way to initiate that]

Queen Medusa Heading towards Medusa, you check in on the rest of your crew. Fortunately, they report back quickly. Unfortunately, they're busy taking care of all the other Gorgons, so they can't offer much in the way of help. You do manage to get ahold of the Argos though, and they inform you that they only have enough parts for one more augment, but they should be able to send it over as soon as you choose which you'd like. Choose from: [Wing Blades] [Cloaking] [Force Field] //For the sake of this draft, I will be writing it as if the Wing Blades were chosen You inform the Argos that you would like the Wing Blades, and within seconds they appear through the circular portal in front of you, clipping onto your ship underneath the wings. The Wing Blades don't only give you a bigger wingspan, but they also release small bursts of energy. They have a bit of a cooldown, but these bursts not only make cutting easier, but also help you reach top speed almost instantly. It isn&

A Revenge Not So Sweet The new augment makes getting to the braided up Gorgon much easier, but it isn't until Stheno is in range of your turrets that you understand its true value, as the massive braid unwinds and you are facing countless giant snake heads. *Using your wing augments, you slip between the countless heads, moving your ship as if its your own body. During your dance, you notice that a few of the heads are already burnt and can't seem to move as well. Remembering what Trion says, you realize that this must be Roland's work. Suddenly, your vision seems to go red, and you not only weave through the heads with unparalleled precision, but you also begin to fire your blaster turrets non-stop, targeting the weak points your friend left behind. Stheno's many heads screech in agony and try to strike out in waves, some even detaching before chasing you for a bit. It's no use though, as you have gained an almost mechanical precision at dealing with this Gorgon

 Euryale- The Far Springer Still recovering from the first cry, you begin to fly towards the source. Looking back, you hope that Sam and Ga'Rook will be okay, but then you see the massive Gorgon in front of you and realize that you might be the one in trouble. This Gorgon, codenamed Euryale, is easily the size of a small moon, and it looks more like a cavernous, floating pit of fangs than a snake. Its scales look deadly pale, and if it weren't for its eyes, massive yellow slits that follow your every twist and turn, you might have thought it had died long ago. (This point in the chapter applies to protecting the North) Matching its hungry gaze, you adjust your path to engage and soon begin firing. At first it seems as if there's no reaction. Its scales and teeth are too durable to penetrate, but, when a stray blast hits it in the eye, another scream tells you that there's a chance. Unfortunately, that same scream sends you tumbling away, hurtling towards the hoard of Go
