The mobile base was a large survival rover that served as the main base for Morphologis for several weeks following the destruction of Home Base.
Operational History[]
Stuck on the Plateau[]
For nearly two weeks, Morph, TIUS and Potatoes worked on the new mobile base, created mostly from components that Morph had carried with him in the Survival Rover following the destruction of his base. At the time, Morph thought a stationary base was a bad idea due to the unknown threat and a mobile base would allow him to escape if there was a threat to his life.
Two weeks following the destruction of Home Base, Morph sent Potatoes out to transmit a signal to any potential survivors out there. Without Potatoes guarding him, Morph realized the importance of establishing security. He decided to build a small resting area around his medical bay with secure doors. At the same time, he finished up lighting on the outside of the base, as well as finishing some solar panels. The next day he planned to head out and search for materials to finish the turbines. At night, TIUS detected movement outside the base, something that wasn't transmitting. After going outside and briefly calling out to anything listening, Morph got freaked out and rushed back inside to get much needed sleep.
In the morning, Potatoes returned without much news. It did not detect any survivors in it's search. While Potatoes recharged at the base, Morph headed out in his rover to search for materials to finish up the turbines. Although he was initially successful at finding several resource points, a black suit emerged from a rock next to a cliff, which startled Morph and sent the rover barreling down the mountain. Thankfully, Morph was able to escape the wreckage and be rescued by Potatoes, who brought him back to base in short order.
After TIUS was recharged, Morph decided to send Potatoes out to the GPS waypoints he found from Falnore's escape pod earlier on instead of searching in a pattern around the base. He thought it would be the best way to reach survivors. Morph also decided to finish the engines, now that he had the materials, and they escaped from the plateau, offering temporary safety from the Black Suit.
Adding Defenses[]
Following the escape from the plateau, Morph and TIUS travelled a great distance using the new thrusters on the mobile base, though it had some trouble with landing. The two decided to finally set up a turret to "kill the darn thing" as TIUS said, so they set off looking for materials. Morph decided to add an ore detector to the base to better detect underground mineral deposits.
