003: On the Road to Aki

[joertexas]

"I think the Luddite can help here, I used versions of vacc suits since I was 12 and experienced in not being seen. So I can go with Roscoe.
I'll get ready, yes?"

Arkar will attached his med kit, get his PRIS glasses, a couple suit patches, duct tape, Maglev pistol, a couple frag grenades, a plasma and EMP.

Put on the vacc suit and report to Walt.

"Taking pikers here?"

Arkar

"I'm certified in vacc suits and in zero gee, so I can come, too," Jaelah says.

[terrymixon]

"That sounds remarkably reasonable."

Garvin adds "Since I'm guessin' only Roscoe can do stealth and work in a vacc environment I suggest we send 'im in to 'ave a look. This is my game but I can't work in vaccum".

"Nevertheless, your skills would be very useful," Roscoe said. "I would appreciate your presence as I might miss something important. The last time you didn't accompany us, I had to bring you in later. Let's avoid that this time. I believe that we should operate as a group, minus the necessary scouting. More hands might be exactly what we need if we have to grab and run"

Jaelah: If you want to train two stats and a skill during jump, let me know what they are.

The rules are here: viewtopic.php?p=709349#p709349

Jaelah: If you want the Doc to do work on you, major, minor, or none, I need to know about the specifics of what you are looking for. If he can't convince you to go for the full package, he will try to convince you to at least get the neural jack. If that's a no, he'll gracefully back off with the assurance that you can always revisit the topic if you change your mind.

If she's doing the augments, then she probably doesn't have time to study anything else. She wants her natural eyes regrown, but with the PRIS enhancements. Also, she wants the computer implant with a neural jack and the ability to access it with her vision (internal HUD) and subvocal commands, all of it stealthy enough to pass through a scanner without being detected.

One day to recover. I’ll allow it, so pick 2 characteristics and a skill and we can rock and roll.

"Taking pikers here?"

”If by “piker” you mean ya wanna ride, sure hop on. You can tell everybody else if I blow myself up with these new weapons.” Assuming a suitably concealed place is nearby and the crew has no objections to the test firings.

”Sit down, hold, on and don’t scream in my ear….well, at least don’t let your mic when you scream…”

He does a tight 360 and zips over to the shoot site (ideally a small/tighter side crevice from the ships location).

"Ha, you should of seen me at the stick of Layi, I grew up learning her nuances and taking her this close to the ground."

Arkar holds on and tries to be a good rider.

Easily located. The weapons are energy weapons, but you see no beam. They do some damage, but it seems a bit underwhelming. That is until it blows part of the wall out, having somehow bypassed the armor of natural rock and causing damage deeper in.

You can allow Bills to do the install of only the requested items and have no recovery time at all or one day with Metz. Metz is fine with doing it either way. Let me know which option you pick.

[terrymixon]

We have Roscoe, Metz, Walt, Arkar, Jaelah, and I believe William going for sure. I'll gently NPC Spicoli as going as well. That leaves Garvin. Is he in or out? Might be pretty quiet back on the ship all by himself. Or maybe not.

[Tiglath]

Garvin is going along. He can (just about) fly a grav bike.

OOC: Apols for lack of clarity

Thanks. I'll get the scouting post written up.

[helvorn]

William counts noses as the ship lands and people start getting suited up. He suits up as well and selects a series of skill slots that make sense. "This is primarily a recon. No violence. Given the choice we back off and reevaluate."

[terrymixon]

The group piles onto grav bikes. Eight of you can fit onto four and make the run in toward the ruins. As you are approaching, Roscoe will send the spybots ahead. Those of you with neural links can tap into the feed and see what they do. The rest will have to do with descriptions.

The images Mad Dog took are still accurate enough, so that confirms you're in the right place. What's new is a medium-sized pressurized habitat. It's set up in the open area beside the crashed ship. From some of the work done opening that ship up, it's obvious that they've been delving into it to learn its secrets.

As in the videos you watched off Mad Dog's slate, there are a number of domes scattered about the crater and one larger one toward the center. That one has been opened up and it's easy to see that the large globes are gone even from a distance.

There are airlocks set up on some of the smaller domes, so the explorations must be continuing. The large warehouse is opened up as well and all the loose debris seems to have been removed.

The one area where you know there is something functioning is the wall of the crater where the disintegrator beam fired from. That area seems free of activity. Perhaps Mad Dog never specified where the beam came from. Either that or it was looked at and they are done with it. No matter the case, there isn't any evidence that area was dug up.

There are no signs of people out and about. Either they are in the habitat, off exploring one of the domes, a mixture of both, or there is no one down here. There aren't any small craft, so that's possible.

What next?

[Thumper]

Walt-
”Woohoo! Never seen the likes of that before.” He shoot’s both weapons to gain a little practice with them.

——————-

Walt says, ”Give me a sec.” and closes his eyes as if concentrating. He sends his clairvoyance into the habitat.



Effect 4 for clarity of details with a 40 sec look.

That’s enough time to get a look around. It’s empty. Not even any personal belongings. It looks as if the occupants have left for a while.

[ateno]

Arkar gets off the grav bike and stretches a bit. then starts looking for a approach that will provide some cover.

Mealy-
I can take a peek in the warehouse and each of the other structures as well. It’ll drain me a little, but I think it’s the safest way to gain Situational Awareness. Perhaps I should save a scan of the Disintegrator Beam for last, when we’re out of the site…. Save that for last in case I set something off. Thoughts? Let me look at the warehouse….

Clairvoyance: [2d6+4]=9+4=13

Effect 5

[1d6x10]=1x10=10

A quick 10 second but high definition look. He’ll attempt to assess the status of archeological work, read the headlines of any reports laying around or view any artifacts

[joertexas]

Jaelah looks for heat signatures and anything else interesting using her newly enhanced vision.
