Terra Nullius: Session 18 - The Reactor (Part 2)

Key Points:

The group decided the first order of business was to get to the med-bay, but along the way, they planned on checking the rooms they passed in order to make sure nothing sneaked up on them.
The group investigated the southern lounge...

There were remnants of bones, broken furniture, fires, rubble, etc.
Roan found an Orange Keycard in one of the pieces of broken furniture.
Manu-Nui proposed the bones were part of a tribal offering from one of the residents who worshiped the machines here.

There was nothing of note here besides arcade games. Most of it had been picked clean.
Manu-Nui said a small prayer to the machine called Galaga for its aid. It did not answer him.

As they made their way to the first intersection, the group stopped to investigate some storage rooms...

Inside the storage rooms, there were tribes of strange creatures called vegepygmies. These plant like, small-sized humanoids, are an unknown species and likely a result of mutation here or a terrible Genesis experiment. They had strange dogs with them that they rode on. Called thornies, these dogs were also plant like.
Vegepygmies don't possess the vocal components necessary to communicate verbally, so most of their communication was non-verbal. As a group, they're very vicious and driven to kill.
Combat broke out between the group and one unit of vegepygmies with another group arriving later as reinforcements. Almost two dozen were killed in total by the group. Two sets of hunters and their mounts escaped at one point. To where? Who knows.
Manu-Nui seemed reluctant to fight the creatures, though he defended the group. Roan got several good shots off that prevented a charge by a rider, while Del and her wall of fur kept many of the creatures busy while her grasping tides delayed a rider. Kembu took the brunt of the attacks, but he slayed several hunters by himself.
Disturbingly, when some of them were killed, one of two things would happen. Either another vegepygmy would be born from the remains of another, or they would explode into a brown russet mold. The mold only infected Del throughout the combat.

The foghorn of the reactor began blaring. It caused the remaining vegepygmy to seek shelter with Manu-Nui (who likewise took cover in a curled up ball).
The mutations worsened and improved in some cases. Del improved from her radiation, while Managirl (growing yeti fur) and Kembu (growing a rubbery skeleton) grew worse and Roan himself began feeling some of the effects (displaced in time).

Kembu, Roan, and Klein entered the 'other' world where they heard the woman calling for Roan again along with spotting a dozen strange bloodied nurses who had the faces of people familiar to the individual gazing upon them.
Roan discovered his new mutation could shunt him back into the real world, but if he should shunt back to the other world, it might only be temporary. Experimenting this, he shunted back to the real world.
Kembu and Klein were nearly over run by the nurses (who seemed to move based on sounds) and some unknown creature lurking around. Kembu went back, and Klein was nearly attacked, but ultimately she was pulled back into the real world by Managirl.

During that time, Managirl coped with her yeti fur.
Del offered the remaining vegepygmy some food. The creature seemed to take a liking to the group, especially Manu-Nui.
Managirl tried detecting the others through their mana signatures. Manu-Nui tried pulling them back, but failed on his first attempt. On his second attempt, he only pulled out Klein's Claw. The vege pygmy worshipped Klein's Claw and even gave the group offerings (two keycards).
When back in reality, Roan questioned Managirl in order to ensure that she was real and not some trick.

The group ultimately reunited, shocked and terrified in different ways. Klein especially.

The vegepygmy tried to get the group to go down a right path leading to a cafeteria, but they ultimately refused, so the creature parted ways from the.
The group decided to get to the Med-Bay...

The group discovered a run-down med-bay with two rooms for emergencies.
In MED-1, the group found a helpful female android nurse who could take care of diseases and wounds with the RAD-X spray Klein talked about.
In MED-2, the group find a male android doctor who tried to perform emergency surgery on Kembu, but was ultimately defeated by Roan and Kembu.
There is another door in these offices, but it requires a Gray Keycard.
Everyone so far is cured of all wounds and diseases, aside from Roan who has yet to make a decision whether or not to give up his new 'power' from the radiation.
The surgery android is disabled, and Managirl plans to tinker with it.
The nurse android has only two of five charges left of the miracle spray.
And because I missed it, there is another door in the medical area that requires a Yellow Keycard.
