Everyone is very friendly here so you'll have no worries as you find your feet. Play by post is more art than science so it's a case of just settling in and going with the flow. :)

Please PM me or post OOC if there's anything I can try to explain.
Thanks a lot!
I'm not totally new in play by post, I have done it some years ago, but in italian LOL

Hey Echthelion! Welcome to the game. For my twopennith, regarding to connections, I reckon you should be the Lord that Leon helped to ruin. :SAN: :twisted: :lol:

Sometimes all you need to come up with a good idea is a (long, unannounced) hiatus. It's good to be back though. Sorry I wasn't around the last couple of months.

Ecthelion, welcome to the game! I'm looking forward to meeting your character.

Sudden flurry of work (must be a Spring thing), so I'm time-poor - hence short post after long delay.

Two more commissions and the deadlines will be in the past.

If you haven’t watched the D&D movie Honor Among Thieves, you need to. Far better than expected, and I laughed all the way through the movie.

Well worth it to see it in theaters!

Really? I saw the trailer and I assumed it would be absolute garbage. It seemed very "Marvel Cinematic Universe".

It was surprisingly good. I enjoyed immensely. Much better than anyone in my group thought it would be…we had very low expectations.

Can't comment myself (save seeing that, to seemingly polish certain of their credentials, the writers had gleefully and recklessly said some utterly daft things about their film) but Critical Drinker gives it more of a thumbs up than down and so endorses your support. 8-)

Hello All,

Sorry I have been off-line for a while, been a bit busy taking exams/training (passed my bike test), and busy at work as well.

Welcome Ecthelion, don't worry about mistakes, Leon makes them all the time.

And as for your comment Hardrocks, I can drop myself in the poo thank you very much

Well, the entrance airlock is a minor problem. The disc will only be able to enter the lock, not access the hangar complex.

Yumi wants to send in a delivery, but doesn't want that delivery to lead back to her or the Rosethorn. Ideally, the same goes for the Serpent. I'll continue to think on that, but ideas are welcome.

As an alternate strategy I believe we were going to use the robots to smuggle/conceal weapons for use in giving the Aslan the good news...

Yes, we were. I'd like to start conditioning the Aslans to seeing all of these robots around.

Did Yumi say what she'd like to deliver?

Confirm we have audiovisual feeds in the entrance corridor, just inside the blast door in the reception area, and in the hangar. We also have commdots distributed throughout the hangar, near the ship entrance, in the cargo areas, in the "observation room", in the bedroom hallway and possibly some rooms, and in the hangars WC.

Intent for the other robots to enter and exit is when we see the security disk arrive outside, the repair bot re-enter the facility allowing the security disk access. The repair bot will proceed down the bedroom hallway and stop in an unoccupied room to "fiddle" with something while the security disk goes down the other hallway to the cargo storage. The disk will enter any open areas. The two will meet up at the airlock and proceed through together. The repair bot will pretend to do some work near the airlock door so as to allow the security disk access when it comes back. The disk will enter the airlock then hover at the top out of sight of any Aslans in the hangar. The repair bot will join the security disk a minute or so later inside the airlock and open the other airlock door to permit the security disk to exit with the repair bot remaining for minute delay inside the airlock (no windows?). The security disk will proceed down the bedroom hallway. When the solo repair bot exits the airlock, it will proceed to the blast door and exit. The repair bot will climb the wall outside the hangar so as to remain out of sight from inside, where it will trigger the door to open to allow the security disk out and the janitor bots in. The janitor bots will proceed in and split with one proceeding down the residential hallway and one down engineering toward the cargo airlock. The repair bot will leave the entrance corridor for a few minutes, then return to climb the wall again and trigger the blast door to open to permit the janitor bots out. The janitor bots will not enter the hangar at this time.

Tomorrow, the repair bot will do the same for the janitor bots to enter the hangar and the security bot to only be seen in the hallways. Rinse, repeat. The plan is for Aslans to see the security disk or the janitor bots to enter and exit without the repair bot appearing near cause it's up a wall on the outside of the hangar for some of their entrances/exits. He will also try to make it look like the repair bot and other droids don't use the internal airlock simultaneously. Sometimes, they will have to be together.

Mostly yes. No staterooms have been accessed, or any rooms “below” area 7/8. As per ships, WCs are part of staterooms.

Yumi is perplexed by what to send in. The problem, to her, is avoiding leaving a trail easily followed to her or her ship when consequences come around.

The repair robot is (currently) the only one that can open doors using an authorisation code. Airlocks are security doors. Each door of the airlock needs to be activated seperately to pass through. From outside the hangar the repair robot can only open the outer door – it will have to enter the lock to open the inner.

Too frequent transits of the repair robot increase the chance that suspicion is aroused. This is why Yumi wants to send in a courier-’bot for others to tag along with. There are maintenance/janitor robots as part of the facilities of each hangar, so everyday needs are unlikely to summon a visit from a general station machine (the hangar robots charge/stage from area 6).

Once inside some doors will open with keypad activation. Airlocks and doors with privacy/security settings will require a code.

Ok. Whatever. Where able, the repair bot will open the doors to let the others in/out and be seen…and where able it will hide up the wall outside the entrance of the main blast doors to affect that and remain out of Aslan sight. But only to the extent that the repair bot’s visual presence is reasonable. Then he’ll quit and just accept that we have cameras and audio inside the Aslan hangar. Enough is enough. Tiv goes back to the party. He tries to be nice to Eno and invite her along, too.

I’m finished with this stage of the operation…move along

Robots can enter following a person.

People deceive with more facility than machines, and are often cheaper.

The disc is on station outside the airlock (and just out of range of the camera the hangar occupants have access to).

The janitors are also nearby, ready to move.

All I need is a bolt of inspiration (having set myself a problem with no simple solution).
