Sorry I do seem to be a bit behind on everything, what with holidays and my wife having shingles, a very bad case of it (she is on her 5th week) but is getting better.
I have re-read the links and no.... it is not a good idea to blast away with ships armaments in the hanger (but deffo in space).
I did say Leon would join the raid but not sure how far in you are with that so it is probably best I remain on the Serpent and be a emergency reserve.

Re: OOC
I'm sorry to hear about your wife. I've had a very, very mild case of shingles myself and it was terrible. I can't imagine dealing with that for five weeks, let alone how painful a more severe case must be.

We are in the corridor approaching the Aslan hangar, so Leon is not late to the party (I am).Legion Lee wrote: ↑Mon Sep 11, 2023 12:32 pm Sorry I do seem to be a bit behind on everything, what with holidays and my wife having shingles, a very bad case of it (she is on her 5th week) but is getting better.

Oh, Shingles, nasty. Sarah had a mild dose of that this spring. All our sympathy to both of you (spouses never suffer alone, it's in the contract).
Re: OOC
Do feel free to join the gang! 
There's still time to join in and there's plenty of room for melee capable PCs among the "gladiators" - I believe we have Roberta already signed up.
I'm aware that shingles is not pleasant (my Mum suffered with a bout of it) so a get well soon and best wishes to your other half!

Re: OOC
Thanks for the kind words, Jules is getting better but it has been a long haul.
I have put a post in and ready to go cat napping

Re: OOC
A couple of points arising as I read back to write forward:
I'm putting Eno with the visiting party, to present the spiced party food. She can help control the slaves too.
I've added Arnwulf to the NPC page.
I believe the idea is that Roberta is presented as a slave, and either initiates an incident that preciptates conflict or uses her status as an apparently helpless captive to provide unexpected assistance. In which case, she is unarmed.#729 Post by Legion Lee » Tue Sep 12, 2023 8:41 am
While puffing on a cigar Leon will be at the rear of the group with Roberta...
...Roberta is equipped with a stun club and securing device/fettles for any captives we may gain.
Eno has no computer expertise (neither has Regina, though her Sensors 3 might suffice). Arnwulf has Computer 1. Handson also is Computer 1.Turning to Arnwulf:
Arn, can I get you to handle that once the hijack is in place? Perhaps using Eno’s computer expertise, once she’s finished prepping the hours d’vours?

Re: OOC
Yes, we had spoken of Roberta appearing restrained, but she can remove her shackles just as any Oghmites we present thusly (the Chewebacca Maneuver). Other captives will be truly shackled. We need Leon’s agreement for that plan.
I didn’t realize Arnwulf had Computers 1.
Eno has Computer 1 listed at the bottom of her NPC page but it never translated up to her skills list. But if Arnwulf has it, that suffices. Eno coming on the demo makes sense.

Re: OOC
You're right, Eno's last term skills didn't get written up.
In my defence, I didn't generate/post her.
I'll try deleting the old version and posting an update.
Which is useful - I had managed to distract myself from composing the next post quite well so far, but the displacement activities were running out.

That Imgua though - Strong, healthy, entitled - but clumsy beyond belief and ill-informed. Truly dangerous. And he works on a ship!
All the prisoners were old-school stats-as-rolled. Throws up some interesting people.

Re: OOC
The Serpent can mostly translate for your Marduk captives, but the hired-in ones speak completely different languages. A couple will have "Trade Marduk", but you're mostly going to be relying on more... direct methods.

Re: OOC
The airlocks leading into the hangars can take a 4dT cargo container, plus hauler, for 5dT capacity. 10 people comfortably, 20 in intimate discomfort.
Getting everyone in will take some time. The order probably won't matter too much, on the way in, but (bearing in mind how easily things can escalate from "Hello" to "kill you now") we ought to think about it

Re: OOC
Isn't that just some kinda Oghman guarantee / byword / tagline???
Hey, it's what... we... do!
Gadzooks, have we broached a niche travel market?!?
Warping to the future:
"Thank you for booking with Oghma Starlines. I see Madam has chosen to travel in Intimate Discomfort... and for your luggage?"
"Oh, he's going freight".
