Asides and Public Discussion about the game (Part 1)

[BackworldTraveller]

Indrani is organizing/supervising the hull repair effort.

Do we have a crew coming to do that?

Arnwulf was going to commit to this. I asked about Nalani's situation, if we were going to address that first or not.

I am quite fine with going straight to weld the hull.

Okay, so Indrani will assist him with that.

Which is what the Hull Plate that Pranit is looking for will be used for...I just need to know is he going for cheap supply or quick delivery.

Pranit wants material that easily meets standards, not cost cutting. The area is weakened already, so no sense in using cheap material.

I'm picturing a weld, not a panel replacement. We need a good filler material / welding sticks. We may also attach a surface patch.

Questions ooc:

Regarding comms, pick up a comm dot," she points at the group of them on the table, "and we will use them until Pranit can secure our comms. Any questions?"

We were given these yesterday because of the ship communication being compromised. So do we have these and do they work without the hacking?

Secondly:

Now that the bomb has been removed, the police want to be relatively quick in making themselves scarce. They seem intent on arriving at the Port Authority Offices with a grim demeanour!

The most senior officer approaches Indrani:

Captain, The Port are supposed to ensure your vessel is secure - It really reflects badly on Sparks and puts off trade if their security useless. We'll make sure that they keep a proper eye on you vessel while you are here.

The police inspector (who came with bomb squad) determined it was no good for Sparks reputation if the bay security was not up to scratch and they insisted on the police monitoring the ship and getting the bay operators to improve security. Did this not happen?

Thirdly. Looking at floor plans of the Queen. Can you confirm lift arrangements. We have two lifts on some floors so shouldn't be held up waiting and in the event if catastrophic lift failure, are there no emergency exit ladders to climb to adjacent floors?

The ships comms yesterday were compromised by a hacking attack on the fibre-comms between outside world and ship and (for a moment) the intra-ship comms. The issue today is that there is lots of radio jamming.
The ear-pieces are definitely fuzzy.

The Police did arrange for the vessel to be watched by Port Security...but they were withdrawn last night (See here). Who knows why?

The top lift shaft is the main passage between decks 1-7. If the lift is stuck, there are hatches in ceiling and floor that allow passage of persons using the climbing holds in the port wall to move that way...in zero-g the lift is mostly superfluous anyway and would be locked off on deck 1.
The bottom lift is an alternative passage between decks 3-5. Same basic arrangement. Passengers are restricted to the bottom lift for security reasons.

Aside from Arnwulf, you all have a basic knowledge of Comms systems.

The jamming you are suffering from appears to have multiple points of attack.

1) On direct radio comms from transmitter to receiver. There is jamming the signals between the phones and the cable-network that allows underground communications and between the components of the ear-piece network. The source of this jamming must be nearby and can be overcome when you are within about 2m of each other. (Clever tweaking may get a longer range - but requires a successful comms roll)
2) The cable network to which the ship is attached to the outside world is physically cut somewhere (presumably where the shutters have come down). Only bays 13-12 and 13-13, and port authority infrastructure nodes (fire detectors, cameras, door controls, power management, life-support management), are visible on the network. The network itself appears to be up within that limited scope.
3) The Control Tower and Landing Navigation beacons that are normally discernible from aboard the ship have gone silent.
4) The only external comms that can be discerned are the high-powered radio broadcast towers - and even those are fuzzy.
5) Internal comms panels on the queen are fully functional

Arnwulf's view is (in summary) "The comms is effin effed".

actually, Reven doen't have his pistol - that's in his quarters - he is looking for a tool that will work as one before climbing up the emergency ladders - which is why he'll be a while getting there

The pistol is from the Ships Armoury - Sadly it has lots of pistols and only 1 bullet!

Re: Take-off.

The Queen has forgotten to mention our fuel situation. IIRC we haven't got any?

That's my recollection, too.

[BackworldTraveller]

Pranit ordered fuel in chapter 6. And paid for it!

[Bluetongue]

But was it delivered?

I see this but was it actioned?

No purifier


1.75 tons at Cr500/ton = Cr875. Cash on Delivery. A tanker will arrive shortly.
