ARCADE SESSION: REBOOTED

[knux400]

Echo throws the net atop the fallen creature. It's still laying there, twitching every so often- you've probably got a few minutes before it can move again.

You tell Echo to free Topaz and grab whatever else she can, and Echo does so. As she opens the cage, you realize Topaz has been in there since you spawned him, and being a canary, you have no idea how he'll react to suddenly being in a wide open space, and with how big these caves are, it would be nearly impossible to find him again if he were to fly away, and...
 

Echo breaks your train of thought, Topaz sitting calmly atop her shoulder. She's wearing the CONDUCTOR HAT the creature dropped (the same one you made for her earlier- it must've taken that from your base as well!) She says she can either take the PILE OF GEMS or the GIANT EGG- she'll have to come back for whichever one she doesn't take.

You take a moment to CHECK Echo.
 

Echo is a BAT TYPE TCP. She is relieved to have TOPAZ with her, but also curious as to the nature of the EGG. Echo's health is currently at its maximum of GREAT. Echo's prosthetic arms are at 16% power and will need to be removed soon.

You ask Echo how her arms are doing- she explains that they haven't started to make her feel tired yet. Once the internal battery drains, the arms are designed to run directly on the health of the TCP itself. Once that starts happening, the TCP will feel tired, and continued use after that will begin to drain health. The battery recharges on its own whenever it's not in use- how exactly that happens is beyond her, but if she takes the arms off, they should be ready to go again in about ten minutes.

She doesn't actually need the prosthetic arms to carry the egg or the gems- the main purpose of them is just to give her proper hands that can grip things- but she doesn't exactly have anywhere to put them, either. She says she'll be okay carrying something all the way back to the base if she heads straight there, with time to maybe drop the other item off somewhere close by first.

What should she do?
