“No, it is a series of sensors and emitters that have to be set up in the area being monitored and protected.”
“I can manage once you have a location. Just let me know.” With that, he disconnects.ateno wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2025 11:07 pm"Great, just let us know how we can help or staying out of the way is fine too. <chuckle>"terrymixon wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2025 9:57 pm "Sweet!

Arkar
Jaelah sets up her organizations at Collace Prime, and also pitches in where she can with the colonists in the area of providing security oversight.terrymixon wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 3:54 pm Okay, we have Walt and Arkar with a plan to lure psi talent with a gambling den, though they have no idea if they will be allowed back on the planet yet. What are Garvin, Jaelah, and William doing? Will Walt and Arkar be starting their escapades by strolling though customs and seeing what happens?
Already done. A week has passed and you're at Aki now. You might want to scroll back a few posts and get a feel for what is happening.joertexas wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 6:14 pmJaelah sets up her organizations at Collace Prime, and also pitches in where she can with the colonists in the area of providing security oversight.terrymixon wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 3:54 pm Okay, we have Walt and Arkar with a plan to lure psi talent with a gambling den, though they have no idea if they will be allowed back on the planet yet.

No, was planning on letting our official status of nobility (crown nobility at that) secure access to the planet then execute the plan in cognito.terrymixon wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 3:54 pm Okay, we have Walt and Arkar with a plan to lure psi talent with a gambling den, though they have no idea if they will be allowed back on the planet yet.

Someone will need to find the right people to approve it and then you can approach them with the idea and try to persuade them.joertexas wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 9:37 pmJaelah assists with Aki planetary security to help with the taint removal operation.terrymixon wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 6:54 pm Already done.

Jaelan addresses the group at dinner. "Why don't we just buy a plot of land, put a dome over it, and start the removal operation as a test?"terrymixon wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 9:42 pmSomeone will need to find the right people to approve it and then you can approach them with the idea and try to persuade them.joertexas wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 9:37 pmJaelah assists with Aki planetary security to help with the taint removal operation.terrymixon wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 6:54 pm Already done.

Garvin immediately agrees "A transparent demonstration or at least a measurable work in progress must be a persuasive argument".joertexas wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 10:54 pmJaelan addresses the group at dinner.

“I’m not sure how persuasive a plant growing will be,” muttered Metz. “None of the natural methods of removing the taint will be effective over the time we’re likely to be here. The taint-resistant genetic augment would be provable though. Harder sell, I’m afraid.”Tiglath wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2025 12:25 amGarvin immediately agrees "A transparent demonstration or at least a measurable work in progress must be a persuasive argument".joertexas wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 10:54 pmJaelan addresses the group at dinner.

William speaks up. ”Oh those good approval ndicate that Walter and Garvin were actually operatives and get them cleared that way? Regardless I think that it would be good to have me and possibly Ciencia sweettalk the local powers that be."terrymixon wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2025 1:01 am“I’m not sure how persuasive a plant growing will be,” muttered Metz. “None of the natural methods of removing the taint will be effective over the time we’re likely to be here.

“We don’t know that they’ll even let Walt down to the surface again,” he pointed out. “Maybe the two of you need to work on that while Garvin and Aster smuggle the two down. Won’t even be hard. Smuggle a teleportal in and no one even sees them arrive.”helvorn wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2025 3:46 amWilliam speaks up. ”Oh those good approval ndicate that Walter and Garvin were actually operatives and get them cleared that way?

I meant to say that maybe Aster could have the Imperial Department of Justice inform the local authorities that the two were operatives. Perhaps she could arrange a fine to be paid.terrymixon wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2025 3:53 am“We don’t know that they’ll even let Walt down to the surface again,” he pointed out. “Maybe the two of you need to work on that while Garvin and Aster smuggle the two down.

Aster shook her head. “Remember that Imperial law holds little sway here. In the down port, perhaps, but if they leave the down port—which seems likely—then all bets are off. Rather than dictating, someone needs to sweet talk them. Or avoid them entirely.”helvorn wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2025 4:25 amI meant to say that maybe Aster could have the Imperial Department of Justice inform the local authorities that the two were operatives.

That is what I get when using voice to text in a high ambient noise location.
"Remember the demarcation between Imperial authority and local," Aster said. "Inside the extrality line, yes, you could force your way in. Would it be productive? Like you said, probably not. Outside the extrality line, your status in the Imperium doesn't mean nearly as much. Forget that and bad things will likely happen."Thumper wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2025 7:05 pm Walt-
"Remember, we're duly deputized Imperial Law Enforcement officers, in addition to everything else to which we hold pedigree. We could get our way into the planet, but uncooperative means would prove be counterproductive to our charity and recruiting efforts. No, we're better off trying this the diplomatic way. We have more money than we know what to do with; and, thanks to Metz, Bianca, and Bilis, we have tech we can bargain with. No, much better to do this by stepping through the front door. If not, we try elsewhere.
Keep our disguises and strong psi abilities for getting out of a scrape unidentified should our op go sideways...avoid an official altercation should it happen.
In that diplomacy, we should probably focus on our patents of nobility and our law enforcement credentials...downplay the bounty hunter credentials. Emphasize we've become much more than we were with a much larger community awareness than when we were "merely" bounty hunters. And I'm certainly not the guy who should work the diplomacy...even if I wanted to.
William spoke up. "I agree that it is best to try to keep with in the bounds of legality if we can. Let's start on the Imperial side first so we don't to piss anyone off by stepping on their toes. The planet has a count assigned. What do we know about them and can we get an audience ASAP. I'm sure they will be more than happy to help the Imperial Consort with local contacts."terrymixon wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2025 8:28 pm"Remember the demarcation between Imperial authority and local," Aster said.
