Saag 01

[ateno]

The crew meets together and the guards learn or get ren ewed on gun cleaning procedues with Gunnar and Ophelia.

The list of maintiance items grows as Gunnar posts a list of needs. Nothing crazy or expensive, just standard items.

PAtrols seem to not borther as you leave orbit and head to jumppoint.

Any plans except clean guns while in jump?

Garett pitches in on the routine maintenance duties pertaining to life support and electronics systems. She also catalogs her findings from her research on Grans, and organizes the items she picked up while she was there. Lastly, she creates a report regarding the scout's loss to hand over to the appropriate authorities when they arrive in Saag. Even if the government doesn't care, the crew's families would probably appreciate the closure.

[The Bindoner]

With the M-Drive off-line in Jump Monte busies himself with routine maintenance. When his turn on "Bridge Watch" rolls around he spends the time reading up on Saag, studying maps and any travel guides that the ship's database might contain.

In his spare time he joins the gun-cleaning operation. The task appeals to his Engineer's mind, and it is a good opportunity to build familiarity with the guards.

Marco Hulsebosch

Sends a communication to his daughter Cassiopeia, letting her know he is fine, working his butt off to put her through more University and 'gap year' experiences and reads up on the family history of TTTS involvement.

He is still getting to know the crew, beyond their formal positions but as people. Who has sugar in their coffee, who follows the a gym routine and bench presses the most, what pictures they have up on their walls?

"We need a specialism. Great to be JOAT traders but really we need to be known as the go to source for xyz, whatever xyz shall be." he mused.

He wonders too what news of the recent heist might haunt them and if business with Dyvers is finished.

Lorraine Hawkins

Lorraine spends the time cleaning the weapons talking with Monte, doing her best to 'make friends and talk shop' with a member of the ship she finds herself on. When not doing that, she wanders the ship to get a better feel for the vessel and does her best to make her new quarters a little more 'her'....

Hiro joins in with the gun cleaning, enjoying the time spent working on a task with the rest of the crew. Pulling out the 5 Autopistols, the 5 snub pistols, Hiro explains to the crew "I have a supply of both TRANQ and standard BALL ammunition, for Autopistols and snub pistols. This is in addition to the 4 Autopistols and 4 pump shotguns, which have served as the recruit's sidearms. That gives us 9 Autopistols, 5 snub pistols, 4 pump shotguns, with the shotguns being fully loaded with buckshot, and one magazine of TRANQ and one magazine of BALL for each autopistols and snub pistols."

Hiro holds up two autopistol magazines. One has the base plate painted red but otherwise unmodified. "Red magazines are for BALL ammunition only." Hiro then holds up a second magazine, the base plate modified with three lumps cut out of plastic rod and epoxied on the bottom, the base plate and the bumps painted bright green. "Green magazines are for TRANQ ammo only. Note the lumps. They stick out far enough one can see them even with the magazine loaded. The can also be felt even with vacc suit gloves on."

"The shotguns will be stored loaded with buckshot. Autopistols and snub pistols will be stored loaded with a green TRANQ magazine, with a red BALL magazine stored on the holster, gun belt or nearby. These weapons will be stored together in the forwrad side of the ship's locker. "

"Our new SOP will be that when we are under arms, everyone will have some non-lethal option. To cover the this requirement, you can use a personal weapon or one of these autopistols or snub pistols. When we expect trouble, I would like everyone to have options other than killing. Additionally, since the next few systems will likely be medium to high law levels, I intend to continue to look to purchase enough shotguns to equipt the full complement, crew and recruits. And, of course, heavier gear equipment and armor is always on the shopping list."

"i am trying to set us up in a good position for private security contracts: vip protection, guarding sites, escort, investigation, law enforcement, seizure. Or, at the very least, build a plausible cover as a private security organization for what ever more profitable business we are actually engaged in."

"Questions or comments?"

During the remainder of the time in J-space, Hiro will continue his daily morning ritual of calisthenic exercises and sword practice. During each day he will train with the recruits, and any of the crew who wish to partici[ate, on close quarter drills, particularly on how to properly clear starship rooms. Being far from an expert, Hiro hopes that one of the more experienced military crew members will assist.

Right before re-entry into normal space., Hiro reminds the recruits that the 4 week trial period will be up in one week. He then asks the crew "As soon as we enter normal space, we will have a task to identify opportunities that will pay for our transit to the next starsystem. We need to gather whatever information we can while we transit to the starport. Get an idea of the political powers in this system. Which groups are in conflict. Maps of the planet surface. Analysis of military forces. Anyting that points us where to look for a finacially lucrative opportunity."

Down port is in the center bottom, above that in the center to the left on the mountain is the novles estate and planet HQ.

2 hexes left is the 'Gates of Anderan' a huge area of raised stone pillars, shaped like hexes, from 1 meter to several meters wide. Very dangerous shipping area and odd winds, avoid on peril of death. Ancient warning tell of a gate to other places, but there is no energy spikes or other notice of technology or even any recent disappearance in that area.

The Highport is in geosync above the mountian 3 hexes left of the ocean terrain.

The thick atmosphere and abundance of water makes this planet a bale producer of greens and root vegetables. There is a group of grape growers in the western peninsula who produce the fruit for the capitol. Again, it is run by the parliamentary agricultural branch, a different uniform of the military.

Hiro radios to the local traffic control requesting a vector for ocean refueling. "it is a good thing to have full tanks. Refueling operations will also give us time to get a feel for the planet."

While Hiro pilots The Train to the Stars, he asks "Garrett can you see what you can find out about the people of this world using the sensors? Monte, can you assist Garrett with the sensors? Marco can you record a wide selection of their EM communications? Gunnar, prepare for ocean refueling. Lorraine, muster the recruits to assist Gunnar."

Hiro will actually be a little sluggish in responding to the directions of the traffic control;he wants to see how far he can deviate before he is corrected. Hiro is curious to see how tight of control they maintain over the airspace.

Gunnar Thunarssen

"Aye Captain. Ready to start when you give the signal."

[The Bindoner]

Monte, can you assist Garrett with the sensors?

Aye-Aye Captain.

Monte asks Garret: Shall I take mapping?

[Stirling]

Marco can you record a wide selection of their EM communications?

Marco Hulsebosch

Goes through various diagnostics and information. A wide selection but not too wide, narrowing the field to communication that is relevant to our travel and passage through the system.

Marco: Electronics (Comms) +1 skills check and Edu +1 [2d6+2]=7+2=9

He makes a report on his analysis of data collected.

[joertexas]

Monte, can you assist Garrett with the sensors?

Aye-Aye Captain.

Monte asks Garret: Shall I take mapping?

"Certainly." Garett shares her sensors data with Monte's workstation.

"Understood you wish to skim the ocean, a 500 credit donation to the Military ball is required for authorization. You will enter atmosphere at Fin rock and head south, south east and land in the water between the sisters and stay on the surface as you head toward the downport, forward your cargo available for assessment."

Monte minimises his M-Drive readouts to a sub-screen and concentrates on the tools Garret has made available to scan and map the planet below. He hums contentedly as he works, enjoying the task. His fellow Navy officers used to tease him about his enthusiasm for exploring new worlds, telling him he should have joined the Scouts instead.

Lorraine does her best to stay out of the way, but close by if needed...

"Aye aye" responds Hiro, sending the electronic transfer for the 500Cr, along with the cargo manifest.

After entering the atmosphere over Fin Rock, Hiro starts the turn, but makes a far too gentle turn, straying out of the control lane just a abit to the South. He waits to see how quickly and how vigorously Traffic Control reacts.

Once settled on the surface of the ocean, Hiro signals Gunnar and Lorraine to begin ocean refueling.

\Knowing that the ship will be here a bit while the water is pumped then process into hydrogen, Hiro take a moment to view the planet through the external cameras, getting his first look at Saag, noting the atmospheric effects and the state of the ovcean.

Once Gunnar and Lorraine signal that refueling operations are complete, Hiro will announce to the crew "Lifting. Next stop Saag Downport."
