Re: [OOC 1] THE WATER COOLER - A Place for General Discussion

My DJ is Was supposed to be “Mick’s”. Dang spell check! Sorry! Perhaps I should stop posting from my phone when I don’t have time to review the posts. I’m an airline pilot, and often post from all over the world as I drive to/from hotels on a crew shuttle. So, Mick at level 0 Gravitics might actual...

Re: Acadie

Situation +2 [2d6+2]=8+2=10 I think the situation bonus was for the Ref, not us. Or is the +2 for Ty's high Intelligence stat? As long as I'm not being asked to roll to set off an IED, I'm happy :D Oh, I see it now. You are right. It was Ref’s throw, not an opposed throw. Mis-read that earlier. Un-...

Re: Acadie

My idea was to hang tarps or sheets to conceal the pop out turrets then place someone behind that tarp with mechanic skills to practice welding or conduct actual welding for smaller repairs later. Tell Screwface we’re welding some repairs to the aft cargo door due to the break-in. People shouldn’t ...

Re: MILLION CREDIT COMM JOB

just a point of order…Mick has Grav-0 which I think we previously determined was an Engineering discipline…just a matter of scale. Does that give Eng- 0 to Mick when it comes to Grav systems/drives?

In this case, Mick obviously lets Joe have the lead.

Re: Chapter 4: Strange Pursuit

DT will congratulate Andreas on getting us this far. Seeing the hills, he suggests a couple of them climb to the top and scan the area. Might end up camping out the night. Maybe there’s a ranch. I can’t imagine we’re close to Will Bland’s ranch since we’ve had such slow going today. Calculations are...

Ty to Jandala: Of course we’ll pay for parts. You say he’s good, man, I believe ya…we’ll hire him. Standard Daily engineer rate is 133cr per day. You were generous to us, we’ll return the favor…200cr per day…cash. Plus a bonus when everything passes diagnostics. We’ll look for him. Thanks a lot Jand...

Re: Chapter 4: Strange Pursuit

Since one of us, Andreas, would be tracking on foot, DT would have dismounted and walked his horse. He attempts to follow Andreas off to the side to see if he picks up any trail with his unskilled eye. He doesn't see or stumble across any sign. He will observe Andreas' work and ask for interpretatio...

Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)

Can we pack some cargo crates to the rear of the aft cargo hold to hide the aft pop-up turrets from view? Maybe put up a tarp over the back and pretend we’re welding back there (mechanic’s work)? That should keep the turrets concealed. Keep the Intel Systems Room locked and a mechanic escort with hi...

Re: MILLION CREDIT COMM JOB

Over comms, Mick reports to the rest of the crew: Power's completely out in Building 2. Front door is manual, same as Building 1. Elevator dead, lights out, door at top of elevators requires power to access. We can scout out Building 3 until power gets restored; or, if you think it important enough,...

Re: Acadie

Ty will return briefly to the Administrator's office to say: One of our crew members is working on the landing skids now and doesn't know how long the damage repairs will take. I also am having difficulty raising a couple other crew members who must be away from their comms. I presume they are wedge...

Re: Starport Bar (OOC Chat Area)

The "special room" comment by Ty was in reference to the Intel Data Recording Room and the Auxiliary Power Plant. I didn't think about the rear pop-up turrets; but,ya, that'll be problematic. Perhaps we can hire the engineer from the Divine Providence to assist us...and keep him out of tho...

Re: Acadie

I agree with that ma’am. Thank you for that offer to make things right. I must consult with the crew, but I think that will be a good solution. May we have a moment and step outside to con to confer with the crew? He’d like to step out with Easy and ask him: If we bring an engineering repair team o...

Re: MILLION CREDIT COMM JOB

did Mick join Olivia via the “EMERGENCY EXIT” or via the [S2] “EXIT”?)

Fearing that turning on an alarm might make things uncomfortable for people until DJ gets control of the facility, Mick would have stepped outside via the Second floor.

On the way back down, he’ll try to take more time and search a little more thoroughly. DJ and Val, sounds like you want ...

Mick will point out the blood stains at the bottom of the stairs. Best be prepared now. Olivia, can you hold the crows ne...

Re: Chapter 4: Strange Pursuit

DT finds himself chuckling, once again, at the big personalities of Texans. Salt of the Earth. Andreas having a trail and the Sheriff’s information providing apparent validation of Slim’s statement are enough for DT to settle on the next steps. The Veterinarian and his wife will have their hands ful...
