It was magical. Although that might have been the rainbow cannabis.
Um. What?
Yep, in the second round I started as a botanist. I almost immediately cracked open the seed dispenser to allow us some of the more... exotic seeds. We got lucky with a few harvests that gave us the rainbow strain. By the 20 minute mark, the most of Botany was too high to do anything useful.
Continuing on, the bar was nearby, and seeing how the only other working botanist left was dragging a friend down to the medics, I just wandered over while I got the "tripping balls" message near constantly. Then I had this idea: why don't I drink some of the bartender's concoctions (already a bad idea, they have a full chemistry lab back there) while still smoking weed?
I was in crit a minute later.
So I'm fading in and out of consciousness, dragging myself in the direction of medical, trying to say anything, when suddenly I start suffocating. I make a brief detour to a maintenance room to get on and oxygen mask, pick up a tank, and turn it on aaaand... Nothing. Because the hall wasn't being vented, the game was simulating my dumbest idea preventing me from getting oxygen to my cells. I finally remember my PDA has a medical emergency program just for when you can't even speak for help.
A medic shows up, wisks me away to the operating room, and immediately begins a number of injections to save my life. In the meantime, he has the same name as me ingame.
By this point there's no real reason to head back, as someone's playing a high-powered instrument of some sort over the intercom, and someone blew up part of the escape arm, so the escape shuttle is already on it's way. I end up in another maintenance area, put on emergency space gear, and start running the escape. With a minute left, I'm near the shuttle (after passing by a strange room filled with clones of someone riding a giant cat around like a horse), and my game freezes. I close it down, open it back up, and... I'm already on the shuttle. It's possible someone dragged me there. So it lifts off to victory.
Only, yep, the traitor's still alive, and he's throwing dangerous chemicals everywhere in the shuttle, so I lock myself in the cockpit with some other guys, trying to pat out the fire from my suit.
About a second after we win, an explosion kills everyone in the main body of the shuttle. As the game closes, I'm lying there, meters away from empty space, slowly dying, wondering if I should have kept another blunt.
