(011a) Jump to Extolay
(011a) Jump to Extolay
The ship has no encounters on the jaunt out to the jump point and transitions in to Jump Space smoothly...that is as smoothly as any ship ever does. Everyone feels the twist in their stomach and brain, some become ill, but only slightly, and it passes quickly.
Systems are all at nominal as you shut down some and bring others online, and the ship and crew move to the familiar routine of the "week in Jump Space" with nothing much to do.
Down in Passenger Country a poker tournament breaks out that will probably last the entire week. A few ask if they can use the ship's educational equipment...remember you bought a really good system for training and teaching before you left Regina.
What is everyone doing the next week?

Zaki continues her physical fitness program to increase her strength and flexibility.
In game terms, she's trying to increase her STR to 5.

Pedro hits the Engineering books in the edu system working to increase his Engineering skill, works with Sigrun to continue to train the crew (and ourselves) in Zero-G operations and combat, and mid-jump cooks a proper Mid-Jump Captains Dinner for the crew and passengers.
Re: (011a) Jump to Extolay
Sigrun will hog the "virtual training room" to hone her Recon skill - unless any of her shipmates want it. The corporates can go whistle!
She continues to show the crew how they will continue to enjoy simulated death unless they learn how to move in zero gravity.
She also continues to work on solo zero g "defence protocol" routines with Connie Malone's AI - specifically sequentially varying floor grav plates from "on" to "off" to allow Sigrun to "boost" down corridors on a "wave" of null gravitics.
And she loves the mid jump dinner! Formal communal eating is apparently very Swordy!

Emily will let Sigrun teach her something interesting. Like maybe how not to keep dying horribly (simulated) in zero-G.Eris wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 10:17 pm The ship has no encounters on the jaunt out to the jump point and transitions in to Jump Space smoothly...that is as smoothly as any ship ever does.

Re: (011a) Jump to Extolay
With Sigrun's approach it's not really the "being technically killed" that's the problem it's the reality of the simulation. Who knew that "zero G exercise" and "survival horror" had a crossover?!?

The hull blows out and pirates invade. Emily laughs while shooting them down. “I love it when life is in easy mode.”

Carlos sleeps well beside Zaki in reduced gravity. He helps her a bit with her rehab routines and continues to hit the books to learn Broker.

The mid jump dinner seems to go well. The meal is Jenghe prawns on a bed of couscous with a salad of fresh greens from Jenghe. Dessert is a fruit compote served over vanilla ice creme. The crew chats and laughs and has a good time.
The next morning, Chandra doesn't show up for his shift in Engineering. Emily, rings his room over the intercom and receives no reply.

Pedro is on the bridge, looking over the boards with his first cuppa, Anything look out of order? Obviously doesn't know about Chandra yet.

Emily can't raise him over the comm, and as far as everyone knows he was fine when he left the dinner the previous night.bruce.desertrat wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 8:30 pm Pedro is on the bridge, looking over the boards with his first cuppa, Anything look out of order?
