  1. [19:04] <Balthazaar> Muora walks about the yard, looking around
  2. 03[19:04] * Daedalus changes topic to 'Transitional Area of the Correctional Wing | Located here are cells around a little eating area, with some excercise equipment and a window with a view of the rest of the asteroid. | It's quiet here, for now.'
  3. [19:05] <Balthazaar> Shetakes a seat, leaning back on the backrest and looks about
  4. 01[19:06] <~Daedalus> It's a small, empty area, and they didn't tell you why they threw you in here earlier other than for your 'Application'.
  5. [19:06] <Balthazaar> She's confused and a touch nervous, but looks around with a confident expression
  6. 01[19:07] <~Daedalus> There's benches and some other cells. Outside, you can see some rovers patroling the surface of Deimos, and the great red planet in the backround.
  7. 01[19:09] <~Daedalus> Occassionally, some debris collides with the force shield around the asteroid, causing the usually invisible barrier composed of hexagons reveal itself.
  8. [19:10] <Balthazaar> She starts to wander around, frowning. "Fuck is this shit..."
  9. 01[19:11] <~Daedalus> This area is much cleaner than your former cell, you'll note.
  10. 01[19:11] <~Daedalus> Also quieter.
  11. 01[19:11] <~Daedalus> You've been provided with better clothes too!
  12. 03[19:13] * Prior is now known as Priorzzzz
  13. [19:14] <Balthazaar> She tilts her head and shrugs, getting changed into the new clothes
  14. [19:18] <Balthazaar> She goes to look at the other cells, see if she has anyone around
  15. 01[19:19] <~Daedalus> There's no one in them as of right now, but it looks as if they've recently been modified...
  16. 01[19:19] <~Daedalus> To fit some Non-terrestrial types, mayhaps?
  17. [19:20] <Balthazaar> She tilts her head a bit, then shrugs, finding somewhere to sit down
  18. [19:20] <Balthazaar> She leans back and closes her eyes, enjoying this rare bit of peace and quiet
  19. [22:21] <Balthazaar> Muora wakes up from her nap, head resting on her arms
  20. [22:23] <Nemi> At the prison's comms center.. "No, Warden, I understand. I am not legally capable of serving as advocate in this case. That said, I would at least like to get to know some of your volunteers!" The emitter displays a cheerfully smiling Terran woman rendered entirely in neon pink light. So /earnest/.
  21. [22:23] <Nemi> Redact!
  22. [22:25] <Nemi> A small, rather industrial looking spiderbot-- a pretty common data-courier and surveillence bot-- comes a-wanderin' down the cell block corridor. Any security is, of course, aware of it but not terribly concerned. It's been checked out and originated in their own armory anyway.
  23. 01[22:26] <~Daedalus> Muora, the intercom crackles on. <<Prisoner 1312-54A, hands, other similar limbs, and organs resembling limbs against the wall.>> That probably means you.
  24. [22:27] <Balthazaar> Muora sighs. She knows the drill. She walks over to the wall, leans forward anf puts her arms straight out against the wall
  25. 01[22:28] <~Daedalus> <<Prisoner 4423-RR3, cease operations and place your hands, other similar limbs, and organs resembling limbs against the wall.>> This is adressing you, Clarke.
  26. [22:29] <Balthazaar> Muora looks around to try see who the other prisoner is!
  27. [22:29] <Nemi> The ... spiderbot goes still. This one is pretty small as drones go, perhaps the size of a medium-sized dog, with four limbs, a holo-emitter, and what looks like some kind of.. fluid interchange system?
  28. [22:30] <Nemi> Not having manipulators makes prisoners /so much/ easier to deal with.
  29. [22:33] <Balthazaar> "... Who are you?"
  30. 01[22:33] <Daedalus> <<Alright, continue operations.>>
  31. [22:34] <Nemi> The 'bot remains still as instructed. Then again, this one looks to have... only dubious connectivity. It looks like a container with legs and some rudimentary communications and sensory devices. But, regulations are regulations, and when you need to hold someone for processing..
  32. [22:34] <Nemi> The bot resumes motion, apparently either not knowing where to go and thus wandering about or taking its sweet merry time to annoy the wardens.
  33. [22:34] <Balthazaar> "Me?" She looks to the speaker
  34. 01[22:35] <Daedalus> <<Both of you.>>
  35. 01[22:35] <Daedalus> <<Just don't kill each other, you'll be fine>>
  36. [22:35] <Nemi> Finally, after the /specification/, the 'bot wanders into Muora's cell.
  37. 01[22:35] <Daedalus> The door to the Trasitional Wing shuts.
  38. [22:35] <Nemi> Or the neighboring one. Who knows how cellmates work.
  39. 01[22:36] <Daedalus> Muora and Clarke are the only ones in the entire block.
  40. [22:36] <Nemi> Oh. So it's just free rec time and they're not in cells.
  41. [22:36] <Nemi> ... Yet.
  42. [22:36] <Balthazaar> Muora looks confused. She follows the little robot. "What's a robot doing in prison..." She frowns
  43. 01[22:36] <Daedalus> Yep!
  44. [22:38] <Nemi> The emitter on the 'bot-- which, being medium dog sized, isn't /that/ small. Even if it looks like something jerry-rigged by the prison staff- flickers to life and displays a slightly distorted image of a smily face. An androgynous but pleasant voice comes from the tinny vocoder, "Holding for processing, actually! And maybe a little bit of trespassing. Which I hotly contest given that I
  45. [22:38] <Nemi> was floating in debris!"
  46. [22:39] <Balthazaar> Muora blinks. "... An AI?"
  47. [22:41] <Nemi> "I know! I don't have any comm systems, nothing, and I haven't been allowed to look up a legal representative on the extranet because they're afraid of 'oooh nooo it'll get out and sieze control of all systems and vent us into space'.. As if I'd /ever/ do that." The smily face flickers a bit and then the display shows a cheerful looking young Terran woman with a bobbed haircut from the
  48. [22:41] <Nemi> shoulders up. The image shrugs, rolling eyes.
  49. [22:47] <Nemi> ".. I'm pretty sure I can't crack the milspec firewalls they have here anyway. At least with this level of gear." The image shrugs again. Now that the avatar has coalesced, the tinny voice sounds distinctly vaguely-highclass-English in that generic sort of way seen in movies.
  50. [22:47] <Balthazaar> Muora can't help but smile. "Is this you?" She points to the little image
  51. [22:48] <Nemi> The face briefly blanks out, replaced by a big floating question mark, then it reappears with a sly look. "If it was, me fitting in here is prettttty unlikely. Unless I were a quadruple amputee in which case that's horrible. But interesting!"
  52. [22:50] <Nemi> "I do like that you don't immediately assume virtual intelligence or artificial intelligence, though." The image nods sagely.
  53. [22:53] <Balthazaar> Muora looks confused. "So... What do you do?"
  54. [22:56] <Nemi> "Well! I'm actually rather surprised you don't have a basic idea, but I suppose I'll fill you in. My .. previous employers called me Clarke, after some famous human author way back when. And I... do whatever is needed in the operations of a spacecraft. I'm proud to say that I have adapted to at least five species' differing technologies and I really doubt there's anyone who can multitask
  55. [22:56] <Nemi> like I can. Thaaat said.."
  56. [22:56] <Nemi> The avatar peers downward. Or at least mimicks doing so-- it's just an image, there's no sensory component. "I'm a little bit indisposed. This /is/ supposed to be a temporary sort of thing.. Hopefully. But I can be patient."
  57. 02[22:57] * Daedalus (~jonathane@synIRC-C48F58A3.socal.res.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 186 seconds)
  58. [22:57] <Balthazaar> "As in your body?"
  59. [22:58] <Nemi> "Oh, yes. I'm normally plugged into a starship."
  60. [22:58] <Balthazaar> Muora blinks, impressed. "Okay... So... what're you here for?"
  61. [23:00] <Nemi> ".. I won't lie, not managing multiple complex systems has me feeling a bit frazzled. I suppose it's their equivalent of .. penance? Hm.." The avatar pauses, briefly flickers to an image of a sad face as a Generic Gruff Announcer Voice speaks.. "Clarke's previous vessel was tragically lost, leaving it adrift in space! Little could Clarke have known.." An image of the prison. ".. but it
  62. [23:00] <Nemi> was restricted space! And so.."
  63. [23:00] <Nemi> ".. our errant hero was scooped up by the defense satellites and deposited here, at least until the authorities can figure out what to do about me!"
  64. [23:01] <Nemi> Flicker. Back to the neon pink Terran woman, who shrugs. "I tried giving them some suggestions but they seem to think I'd try to hijack their ships or assume control over the security systems. Gosh, some people have no trust at all."
  65. 01[23:02] <Roosevelt> <<Good reason too.>> The intercom says, in a different voice than the one before, <<You'd most likely mess up all of these subsystems.>>
  66. [23:04] <Nemi> The avatar peers up, more for effect than anything. "I'll have you know that I have never compromised any system I've been connected to! Some people.."
  67. [23:04] <Balthazaar> Muora nods a little.
  68. [23:04] <Balthazaar> "And I'm innocent too!"
  69. 01[23:05] <Roosevelt> <<People? I'm an AI lady... man... guy. I can't tell with these sensors, they're nothing like X-Ray machines.>>
  70. [23:06] <Nemi> "At any rate, I expect I'll be out in a few days once they double-check my credentials.. Oh." The avatar briefly takes on a perplexed look, flickering to a cartoonish skeleton then back to the more pleasant appearance. "It's rather difficult to tell just by voice, you know!"
  71. 01[23:08] <Roosevelt> <<Yea... it was easier when every living thing had genitals. You could just X-Ray those and you'd be good.>> He grumbles.
  72. [23:09] <Nemi> "Rrreally. Are you a recent transfer? You act like you only know Terrans!"
  73. [23:09] <Balthazaar> "You xray me there and people will get hurt."
  74. 01[23:10] <Roosevelt> <<If by 'Terrans' you mean 'people', then yes. I used to only know people.>>
  75. [23:10] <Nemi> "Oh they probably did the full body scan already to make sure you didn't have weaponry or contraband hidden inside skinflaps."
  76. 01[23:11] <Roosevelt> <<Then I go offline for the better half of nine centuries and suddenly aliens everywhere. I dunno what happened.>>
  77. [23:11] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar looks vaguely irritated, flashing red with a furious expression before back to the sedate pink as if nothing happened. "Goodness me. You really /are/ new to the wider galaxy. I am so sorry! Now we actually have to /specify/."

  87. 02[23:14] * Roosevelt (~jonathane@synIRC-C48F58A3.socal.res.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 186 seconds)
  88. 01[23:14] <Daedalus> <<I've been told not to really tell you anything about myself, though that does conflict with my secondary function.>>
  89. [23:15] <Nemi> "You really aught to get more cosmopolitan. There is a great big galaxy out there and you're just mouldering away operating this station!" Back to cheerfully wry.
  90. [23:16] <Balthazaar> "My /what/!?"
  91. 01[23:16] <Daedalus> <<Gee, as great as that sounds, I think I'll stick to whatever OS they put me in and avoid technomancers like you for as long as possible.>>
  92. 01[23:18] <Daedalus> <<And you, gal in the corner. You don't register as human to me.>>
  93. [23:19] <Nemi> "Skin flaps. I had a smuggler or two aboard me who hid fascinating things in their abdomens, for example a gentleman-- Terran-- who had an entire plasma shotgun disassembled and hidden under his skin! He was.. portly, of course, but.. well, anyway. I apologize, I forgot that managed AI systems have things called /rules/." The avatar flickers, briefly having an eye patch and stereotypical
  94. [23:19] <Nemi> pirate hat. "More like guidelines if you ask me.."
  95. 01[23:20] <Daedalus> <<I'm not programmed to consider them Guidlines... Miss.>>
  96. [23:21] <Balthazaar> "I /am/ human you fuck!" Muora goes from incredulous at Clarkes story to looking /very/ pissed off at the speaker
  97. [23:21] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar flickers again, no longer looking piratey. The realistic-if-idealized facial features swiftly turn into an abstract emoticon not unlike [ :O ]
  98. [23:22] <Nemi> And then back to 'normal'.
  99. 01[23:23] <Daedalus> <<Are you angry? Would you like a mint?>> There's a circuit sounding, as if the AI's trying to activate something, <<Well isn't that swell? I don't have mints.>>
  100. [23:24] <Nemi> ".. if it's any consolation, um, Prisoner 1312-54A, you look perfectly human to me. Humanoid. Ish."
  101. [23:24] <Nemi> The avatar motions as if coughing.
  102. [23:24] <Nemi> ".. these optical sensors are garbage."
  103. [23:24] <Balthazaar> "..." She frowns and sits down in a huff
  104. [23:28] <Balthazaar> Crossing her arms and scowling at the camera feed
  105. 01[23:30] <Daedalus> It focuses on her.
  106. [23:32] <Nemi> Clarke's housing-bot swivels on its stumpy legs, its own optics peering up and focusing on the securicam. Then at Muora.
  107. [23:32] <Nemi> The avatar holds up a 'be right back' sign.
  108. [23:34] <Balthazaar> "Am a human..." She mutters
  109. [23:35] <Balthazaar> "I don't even know what the fuck's going on in here! Why have I been moved!?"
  110.  
  111. [23:38] <Balthazaar> She sighs. "Piracy, possession of drugs and assault." she sighs
  112. [23:38] <Balthazaar> Again
  113.  
  114. 01[13:57] <~Daedalus|GM> Descartes is wheeled into the Trasition Wing in a sealed, biohazard container. Four guards stand at the sides of it, their guns ready.
  115. 01[14:00] <~Daedalus|GM> Dave is held in a similar container, but with less guards as they wheel him in as well.
  116. [14:01] <Bunton> Are these containers fully enclosed or do they have windows?
  117. 01[14:01] <~Daedalus|GM> Descartes' is fully closed with the exception of the small retangular window in the front.
  118. 01[14:02] <~Daedalus|GM> Dave's is mostly made of duraglass.
  119. [14:02] <Bunton> Is Dave wearing his pressure suit inside his container, or is the container pressurised?
  120. 01[14:03] <~Daedalus|GM> The container is pressurized.
  121. [14:03] <JamJam66> So no suit yet?
  122. 01[14:03] <~Daedalus|GM> Not yet.
  123. 01[14:03] <~Daedalus|GM> Helia is carried in in a small glass cage.
  124. 01[14:12] <~Daedalus|GM> After they're wheeled in, the guards leave them- still caged- in the wing, and exit through the blast doors.
  125. 01[14:16] <~Daedalus|GM> It's a smallish wing, octagonally shaped with about twelve cells. It's centered around a small eating area with a few benches and some exercise equipment. It has it's own connected shower/bathrooms as well. On the farthest wall is a large duraglass/energy field window, with a lovely view of the rest of the asteroid and, further out, the great red planet itself.
  126. 01[14:17] <~Daedalus|GM> The doors close, and you're soon left in silence.
  127. 01[14:18] <~Daedalus|GM> There's a mechanical hissing sound as Descartes and Helia are released.
  128. 01[14:21] <~Daedalus|GM> At the same time, a small hatch opens up in the wall, and a cleaning robot carrying a suit enters.
  129. [14:21] <Prior> Descartes waits until the unit is fully opened before stepping out and stretching his legs.
  130. [14:21] <DiePotato> Helia takes a tentative step out looking around. A series of angry musical notes follow.
  131. [14:21] <Bunton> :D
  132. [14:21] <Bunton> http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091004121427/starwars/images/1/15/Todo360.jpg
  133. [14:22] <JamJam66> Dave glows and shimmers
  134. 01[14:22] <~Daedalus|GM> He's been instructed to help the other one with his suit.
  135. [14:22] <Bunton> The robot rolls up to Dave's containment unit and affixes the suit to a complicated valve.
  136. [14:22] <Bunton> Or some other appropiate looking outlet.
  137. 01[14:22] <~Daedalus|GM> This happens!
  138. [14:22] <Bunton> Basically I'm imagining Calvin attaches the suit and Dave just gets slowly sucked into it.
  139. [14:23] <Prior> "Ah, Mars. The racism is palpable." He rotates his shoulders to get the weariness out. "Biohazard my right [unintelligible]."
  140. [14:23] <DiePotato> Helia looks down confused and flips on her translator.
  141. 03[14:23] * Daedalus|GM is now known as Daedalus
  142. [14:23] <JamJam66> Dave is sucked into the suit. Bloop.
  143. 01[14:24] <~Daedalus> You're all in basic clothing and enviroment suits (When even then are kind of cheap)
  144. [14:24] <Bunton> Calvin finishes up the procedure and detaches the suit from the containment unit.
  145. 01[14:24] <~Daedalus> All of your equipment has been stripped from you.
  146. [14:24] <Bunton> What does Dave look like now?
  147. [14:25] <JamJam66> Dave takes a few steps, and begins to move in different ways, testing out the suit.
  148. 01[14:25] <~Daedalus> Except for that which is neccessary for life function, or communication.
  149. [14:26] <Prior> Descartes turns to the little plant woman. "You speak common?" It's like if you taught an overlarge cockroach to speak. A little weird with sibillants and hard on consonants, but it works.
  150. [14:27] <Bunton> The cleaning robot reverses and watches Dave to ensure he's alright.
  151. [14:27] <JamJam66> "Hello. Can you understand me?" This is to nobody in particular.
  152. 01[14:28] <~Daedalus> <<Welcome.>> A voice says over the intercom, <<To Cell Block T. I'm the AI in charge of the block. Says something if you can understand me.>>
  153. 01[14:28] <~Daedalus> say*
  154. [14:28] <Prior> "But of course." To Dave. "Jovian, yes?"
  155. [14:29] <Bunton> Calvin beeps and boops a response.
  156. [14:29] <DiePotato> "Don't speak to me you giant bug." She sounds fairly pissed. Her voice sounds like it's musical. Like if you bent a series of notes into words.
  157. [14:29] <Bunton> Whether it's to Dave or the intercom is unclear.
  158. [14:29] <JamJam66> "Yes."
  159. [14:29] <JamJam66> "My name is Dave. I am Jovian."
  160. 01[14:29] <~Daedalus> <<Good. Hope you're comfortable.>>
  161. [14:30] <Bunton> Calvin exits the room via the safety hatch!
  162. [14:30] <Prior> "Good to know. Not far from home then I take it?"
  163. [14:33] <JamJam66> "No. Not at all."
  164. [14:33] <JamJam66> "Although it can be lonely even this far."
  165. [14:36] <Prior> [REDACT THAT]
  166. [14:37] <JamJam66> [YUP]
  167. [14:38] <Prior> "That is good to know. What were you put into this place for? Or alternatively what were you falsely accused of, if you wish to maintain appearances?
  168. [14:38] <Prior> *"
  169. [14:39] <JamJam66> "Trading on the black markets."
  170. [14:39] <JamJam66> "And dealing in illegal goods."
  171. [14:40] <JamJam66> "What about you?"
  172. [14:41] <DiePotato> Helia walks over to the window peering out of it. ~In a damn prison in the middle of nowhere amazing~
  173. 01[14:41] <~Daedalus> Outside, a few rovers trek across the surface.
  174. [14:41] <Prior> "Surprisingly upfront so you are." He laughs. It's a forced action based off adopted habits, but it's there. "Transporting class Rho biohazards without permit."
  175. [14:42] <JamJam66> "Interesting."
  176. 01[14:42] <~Daedalus> Every so often, a particle or bit of space rock will collide with the force shield around the asteroid, revealing it's blue hexagonal pattern.
  177. [14:43] <Bunton> Are any of you making a mess?
  178. [14:43] <DiePotato> Helia crosses her vines still looking irritated
  179. [14:43] <JamJam66> No.
  180. [14:43] <Prior> "I have heard better tales than my own, but I suppose it has merit." He turns to the window. "So, somewhere near Mars. Deimos has a prison, I think."
  181. 01[14:43] <~Daedalus> The block is cleaner than the rest of the prison, but there's still little bits of dirt in the corners.
  182. [14:45] <Bunton> The cleaning robot reappears with a scoosh bottle and a cloth!
  183. 01[14:46] <~Daedalus> The dirt cowers!
  184. 03[14:46] * LemurMobile (~LemurMobi@7D6371A8:569CFAF3:12514027:IP) has joined #AtlasOne-IC
  185. [14:46] <Bunton> He sets about cleaning the cell to a very high standard.
  186. [14:46] <Bunton> That should have been a specialty skill really.
  187. 01[14:47] <~Daedalus> {Gahh noooo!!} The evil little dirt civilization crumbles.
  188. [14:48] <Prior> Deep in his flinty soul, Descartes feels the passing of the dirt people.
  189. [14:48] <Bunton> d20+4
  190. [14:48] <Glacon> Bunton: 9 (d20+4=5)
  191. [14:48] <Bunton> Uh wait.
  192. [14:48] <Bunton> >_>
  193. [14:48] <Bunton> 4df+4 Cleaning!
  194. [14:48] <Glacon> Bunton: Cleaning!: 4 (4df+4=3+, 3+, 4-, 4-)
  195. 01[14:48] <~Daedalus> He cleans very well!
  196. [14:49] <Bunton> The little robot beeps and boops in satisfaction.
  197. [14:49] <Bunton> Sorry, were the rest of you doing a thing?
  198. 01[14:49] <~Daedalus> <<Alright, so. What's your names then?>>
  199. [14:50] <Bunton> *beep boop*
  200. 01[14:50] <~Daedalus> <<Assuming, you know, you have that concept on your planet.>>
  201. [14:50] <Prior> "Renee Descartes." ~Huh, there it is. Far off in the sky. The little red rock itself.~
  202. [14:50] <DiePotato> "None of your business." Helia says angrily
  203. 01[14:51] <~Daedalus> <<Sorry, Jesus.>>
  204. 01[14:51] <~Daedalus> <<Just asking, trying to be nice.>>
  205. [14:51] <JamJam66> "My assigned name is Dave."
  206. 01[14:53] <~Daedalus> <<Well, nice to meet you Dave, Renee, uh... plant. CLVN.>>
  207. [14:53] <Bunton> *beep*
  208. [14:53] <JamJam66> "Although my true name is-." Nothing seems to happen. You may notice that Dave changes colour ever so slightly.
  209. [14:53] <Prior> "CLVN? Is that you or the droid?"
  210. [14:54] <DiePotato> "Does it matter bug?"
  211. 01[14:54] <~Daedalus> "Droid there."
  212. 01[14:54] <~Daedalus> <<>>
  213. 01[14:54] <~Daedalus> *
  214. [14:54] <Bunton> Yeah, the droid has "CLVN-82MC" labeled on the side of its head.
  215. [14:54] <Prior> "Thank you. And I take it you're the resident AI?"
  216. [14:54] <Prior> Descartes is pointedly ignoring the plant for now.
  217. 01[14:55] <~Daedalus> <<I'm D4V1D-MDDS, they installed me in charge of this block.>>
  218. [14:55] <Bunton> Calvin goes up to the camera and begins wiping the lens.
  219. [14:55] <DiePotato> Helia turns around "A /dentist/?"
  220. [14:55] <Bunton> Wait, is there a camera?
  221. 01[14:56] <~Daedalus> <<Oh! Hey! Stop that!>> There's several cameras, some at floor level.
  222. [14:56] <Bunton> *boop*
  223. [14:56] <Bunton> He finishes up and then goes back through the safety hatch.
  224. 01[14:57] <~Daedalus> <<Okaaay... So, you're all criminals then.>>
  225. [14:59] <Prior> "That we are. Except presumably for the droid." He continues perusing the stars.
  226. [14:59] <JamJam66> "Indeed."
  227. 02[15:01] * LemurMobile (~LemurMobi@7D6371A8:569CFAF3:12514027:IP) Quit (Client exited)
  228. [15:03] <DiePotato> redact the dentist line
  229. [15:05] <Prior> "Three strangers thrown together by the vagaries of fate. Who knows where the future leads except for anyone who's seen the transfer schedule?"
  230. [15:05] <JamJam66> "Perhaps the AI does. You should ask him."
  231. [15:06] <Prior> "An excellent proposal. David, where are we going after this?"
  232. 01[15:06] <~Daedalus> <<Hmm? I prefer Doctor, and I don't know.>>
  233. 01[15:07] <~Daedalus> <<I just know it has something to do with 'Atlas One'.>>
  234. [15:07] <Prior> "The port?"
  235. [15:07] <DiePotato> "Atlas One?"
  236. [15:07] <JamJam66> "Atlas One? What is that?"
  237. 01[15:08] <~Daedalus> <<Was an old ship, back in the day. Decomissioned in 2194>>
  238. 01[15:09] <~Daedalus> He's going off of A.D. Terran time, not the more common T.F.C. time.
  239. 01[15:09] <~Daedalus> This AI must be old as well.
  240. [15:10] <Prior> "So not the port... A further question. Why does a government AI prefer he honorific of Doctor and use no suffix I've ever seen assigned to a government unit? I'd guess a new rollout, but you're using the old date system."
  241. [15:10] <DiePotato> "You know nothing else about the ship?" Helia asks
  242. 01[15:16] <~Daedalus> <<I'm not a government AI, I'm a Demios-1, Venerator-1, D-Model Doctor of Dental Surgery. I was written in 2188, on this very rock... when it used to be a factory, anyway. And no, I don't know anything else.>>
  243. 01[15:16] <~Daedalus> <<I was reactivated... a few days ago.>>
  244. [15:16] <DiePotato> ~Wait dental surgery~
  245. [15:17] <Bunton> The robot returns with another scoosh bottle and a clean cloth!
  246. [15:17] <JamJam66> "That is a shame. I would like to know where we are heading."
  247. 01[15:18] <~Daedalus> <<If I could shrug, I would>>
  248. [15:18] <Prior> "Join the club."
  249. [15:20] <Prior> "So, other than the criminal activities, what's your story gas man?"
  250. 03[15:22] * Daedalus is now known as Daedalus|BRB
  251. [15:22] <JamJam66> "My story?"
  252. [15:23] <JamJam66> "What do you want to know?"
  253. [15:24] <Prior> "Anything you're willing to tell. We have time to burn."
  254. [15:25] <Bunton> By this stage the walls and floor is pretty clean. This little robot sure can do a lot with a scoosh bottle and 2 clean cloths.
  255. [15:25] <JamJam66> "Well, I was brought up as an engineer."
  256. 01[15:25] <~Daedalus|BRB> <<Good job, CLVN.>>
  257. [15:26] <Bunton> *boop beep*
  258. [15:26] <JamJam66> "I worked in the shop, but I found that the black market offered a more reliable source of income."
  259. [15:26] <DiePotato> Helia walks over to the cafeteria area taking a seat. And by taking a seat hopping up to the seat and pulling herself up the rest of the way with her vines.
  260. [15:26] <JamJam66> "And I was arrested, and ended up here."
  261. [15:27] <Bunton> Calvin starts on the table where Helia is sitting!
  262. [15:27] <DiePotato> Helia watches the bot boredly. "Can't speak can you?"
  263. [15:28] <Bunton> *boop*
  264. [15:28] <Bunton> He looks at Helia then continues cleaning.
  265. [15:28] <DiePotato> "That's a yes I'm guessing..."
  266. 01[15:28] <~Daedalus|BRB> <<Yea, he can speak. Just not anything you can understand.>>
  267. [15:29] <Prior> "Well that's... a short tale if nothing else." He turns to the droid. "Could you speak for me, little one?"
  268. [15:30] <Bunton> *beep boop boop*
  269. [15:30] <Prior> 4df+6 Wait so... hang on, CLVN's speak overcode, yeah?
  270. [15:30] <Glacon> Prior: Wait so... hang on, CLVN's speak overcode, yeah?: 7 (4df+6=3+, 0, 0, 0)
  271. [15:31] <Bunton> Calvin rolls up to Descarte and raises his cloth and scoosh bottle.
  272. [15:31] <Bunton> He was asking if you'd like your shell cleaned.
  273. [15:32] <Prior> "Sure. What's that stuff, Mister Gleamkle? That'll do it for sure."
  274. 03[15:32] * Daedalus|BRB is now known as Daedalus
  275. [15:32] <Bunton> *boop boop BEEP boop*
  276. [15:32] <Prior> (Does Descartes still understand him?)
  277. [15:32] <Bunton> That's up to Daed!
  278. [15:33] <Prior> 4df+6 Oh crud, gonna need to get a book if I'm with you all the time...
  279. [15:33] <Glacon> Prior: Oh crud, gonna need to get a book if I'm with you all the time...: 5 (4df+6=4-, 4-, 0, 3+)
  280. [15:33] <Prior> "Sorry little one, I didn't catch that. Not the best with droids."
  281. [15:33] <Bunton> I think that hits the DC.
  282. 01[15:34] <~Daedalus> ^
  283. [15:34] <Bunton> Unless it's an engineering roll.
  284. [15:34] <Prior> Engineering.
  285. [15:34] <Bunton> Ah.
  286. [15:34] <Bunton> He beeps and starts cleaning your caripace anyway!
  287. [15:34] <Bunton> Whatever it is, it seems to add a certain shine.
  288. [15:35] <Bunton> It's very effective.
  289. 01[15:35] <~Daedalus> You don't need to roll constantly unless your engineering or programming is at or under 5.
  290. [15:35] <Bunton> Oh!
  291. [15:35] <Bunton> Well, he seems to be beeping and bopping in pride.
  292. [15:36] <Prior> "A very good job, little one. Do you want something in return? I don't have much to give."
  293. [15:37] <Bunton> He shakes his head.
  294. [15:37] <Bunton> He seems to be enjoying just cleaning.
  295. [15:37] <Bunton> He carries on with his Great Work while you lot talk to each other.
  296. [15:38] <Prior> "Then you're a better person than myself." Finally he turns to Helia. "So, the less friendly one. What's your tale?"
  297. [15:39] <DiePotato> Helia makes an irritates keening noise. "One of heartache and sorrow" She sarcastically pipes out
  298. [15:40] <JamJam66> "Heartache? Does she need medical attention?"
  299. [15:40] <Prior> "Sounds interesting. Sad, but interesting. More interesting than beauracratic irritation."
  300. [15:42] <DiePotato> "At least I'm not a bug pretending to care." She snips
  301. [15:42] <Prior> "At least I'm not a racist plant. We all have our shortcomings."
  302. [15:43] <DiePotato> "Some more then others..."
  303. [15:46] <Prior> "Ah, we're doing that dance. The merry tango of prejudice and rebuttal. Or perhaps the foxtrot of revulsion and irritation. Doesn't really matter which."
  304. 01[15:47] <~Daedalus> <<*Curt Cough*>> He literally says this, <<Alright, lets settle down now.>>
  305. [15:48] <DiePotato> Helia crosses her vines. "Aw we were having such a nice conversation though."
  306. [15:48] <DiePotato> The aw sounds like a weird bending of music
  307. [15:49] <JamJam66> "The conversation did not seem nice to me?"
  308. [15:49] <Prior> "Ah, but that is not the point. This is but the beginning of wherever the journey takes us. Metaphorically, at least. I still wish to know this one's past."
  309. 02[15:51] * JamJam66 (~JamJam66@Join.the.Flying.Turtles) Quit (Quit: Shmurr)
  310. [15:51] <Bunton> Calvin finishes polishing Descartes carapace!
  311. [15:52] <DiePotato> "I'm a doctor for your information." Helia turns towards Descartes. "I'm here for performing "unethical" experiments." She finishes. She says unethical like it's the most ridiculous thing she's heard.
  312. [15:52] <Bunton> He goes over to Dave and begins replugging him back into his cell-thingy.
  313. [15:52] <Bunton> *schoooop*
  314. [15:52] <Bunton> A blue jellyfish thing floats back into the cell.
  315. [15:53] <Prior> "Sounds intriguing. Please continue." He admires the sheen of his shell. It's some sweet shit.
  316. [15:53] <Bunton> He's very shiny now.
  317. [15:53] <Bunton> Much bling bling.
  318. [15:54] <Prior> Holla holla get increased nutrition permits.
  319. [15:54] <Nemi> There's a big weird box sitting in the middle of the transitional wing, apparently hooked into some local power systems. Clearly, with D4V1D's watchful electronic eyes on the area at large, having someone exposed like that isn't too troublesome.
  320. [15:54] <Bunton> Calvin goes back through the safety hatch and out the room!
  321. [15:55] <DiePotato> "Let's stick with doctor for now. And my name is Helia."
  322. [15:55] <DiePotato> "I'll tell you more later."
  323. [15:57] <Prior> "Good to know. You already heard my name, but refresher courses remain available on that subject." He peers at the box, although his eyes are too small for this to be noticeable. "If that avenue of enquiry is dry I must ask: David, what is this?"
  324. [15:57] <Prior> (Redact the latter sentences if it's not actually there with them)
  325. 01[15:57] <~Daedalus> It's there with them
  326. 01[15:58] <~Daedalus> <<That? That's Clarke. Think it's sleeping.>>
  327. [15:58] <DiePotato> Helia hops down out of her chair. "Clarke?" She steps lightly over to the box.
  328. [15:58] <Nemi> A holo-emitter at the top side of the odd box flickers to life, depicting- in neon pink- a Terran female. Young, bobbed haircut, pleasant-looking in that sci-fi stereotypical way. And there's a comical sleeping cap and a speech bubble containing three letter zeds.
  329. [15:58] <Prior> "Organic or droid?"
  330. 01[15:59] <~Daedalus> <<I don't know. Droid is what I'm guessing.>>
  331. [16:00] <Nemi> One eye opens, the image flickers out and is replaced with the same figure, now actually awake and sans-cap. There's a brief distortion as it mimicks smoothing out its coat. "Hello, yes? What is it?" There's one of those generically 'classy' accents so many Terrans seem to adore, even though the voice is clearly synthesized and faintly hollow.
  332. [16:01] <Prior> "You're Clarke then." He walks around the hologram, considering it from various angles. "Not a prisoner, I imagine."
  333. [16:03] <Nemi> "Well, I'd hope not. Though I did have a rather unfortunate run-in with some.. gentlemen, which left me drifting.. right into this restricted space. I'm to be here a while as we figure out.." The hologram follows Descartes, expression flickering from amused to blank. ".. terms of indenture for my reconstitution. And, you know, because technically I was tresspassing."
  334. [16:04] <DiePotato> "AI?" Helia circles the box. "Or organic?" She taps the box with a vine.
  335. [16:04] <Prior> "Imprisoned on a technicality. Always a hoot."
  336. [16:06] <Nemi> "Oh, I can't blame them. They've restricted my wireless access because, well, they're really rather not me turn out malevolent, sieze control of all systems and vent everyone into space.." The hologram looks wistful for a moment, then flickers, abruptly replaced by the same image but shrugging cheerfully. "Not that I'd ever do that, of course! And could you not touch? Thank you!"
  337. [16:07] <Prior> "Being blasted out into space isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Also, I note you didn't answer the lady's question. Too personal, perhaps?"
  338. [16:08] <DiePotato> Helia makes another irritating keening.
  339. [16:08] <Nemi> "Proprietary tech. Rather not get into specifics." The image flickers out, replaced by the same but wearing a suit, spectacles, and with a board of schematics- for Da Vinci's ornithopter, apparently- nearby. It nods sagely.
  340. [16:10] <Prior> "Understandable. Quite frankly prisons don't tend to be the most open places when it comes to enquiries about pasts." He rests on his haunches. "Don't suppose /you/ know anything about this 'Atlas-1'?"
  341. [16:12] <Nemi> The hologram looks doooown- down down down- at Helia and peers down its glasses. Then, another flicker, back to default and regarding Descartes. It's helpful to have /some/ kind of face for people to look at when communicating, otherwise it's just disconcerting. "If I did I don't think I'd be at liberty to say, soooo.. hypothetically .. no." Its face vanishes, replaced by a simplistic
  342. [16:12] <Nemi> pixelated smily face. That emoticon passes and returns to that same holographic face as before.
  343. [16:13] <Nemi> A big violently growing red x appears over the hologram's mouth and it nods.
  344. [16:13] <Nemi> [ glowing, not growing ]
  345. [16:15] <Prior> "Interesting. If you did know you wouldn't say, but if you didn't you wouldn't know. An enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a rablasted sinosteel box so you are."
  346. [16:17] <DiePotato> "And about as helpful as the AI watching over us..." Helia adds
  347. [16:20] <Nemi> "That's a very complicated way of saying.. yes." The red X is gone and the image is grinning. "And, well, I have no real reason to be helpful just yet! Especially since, unlike my colleague here, I have no access to anything."
  348. 03[16:20] * Daedalus is now known as Daedalus|Out
  349. [16:22] <Nemi> ".. which means I can't actually look up what /you/ are." The hologram holds a magnifying glass as it peers at Helia, the eye behind the glass magnified to tremendous size.
  350. [16:22] <Prior> "And within that box appears to be a child who enjoys her tricks." He... it's not a smile, but the corners of his mouth turn up and it's probably meant to be one. "My question is thus: this ship, is it in need of a crew?"
  351. [16:24] <Nemi> "I'll have you know I've been active for /at least/ a year. Humph." The magnifying glass is gone and the image looks indignant. Then, a flicker, and the hologram is seen sitting on a wireframe of a large and ponderous-looking vessel. It kicks its feet. "Hypothetically, yes."
  352. [16:25] <Prior> "Excellent. So, either we are shipping to it or it is travelling to us..." He strokes his... once again it's not a chin, but it's where one would be. "And I apologise if I offended with my earlier remark."
  353. [16:26] <Nemi> "My last crew's nickname was the 'Space Assholes'. It's fine." A cheeky grin, the wireframe gone.
  354. [16:28] <DiePotato> "They sound /delightful/"
  355. [16:28] <Prior> "Space assholes. Like a black hole but browner." He moves his hand in a semicircular motion, drawing words out of the air. "'In space noone can smell you fart.'"
  356. [16:30] <Nemi> "Let's say that, well.. when I was tragically /cast adrift/, it wasn't entirely undeserved." An image of a planetoid rolls past the 'background' of the hologram, with what appears to be a crude human phallus burned in with orbital lances.
  357. [16:31] <Prior> Descartes bursts out laughing. "You carved a male terran genital into an orbital body! That is rich. That is truly rich."
  358. [16:32] <DiePotato> Helia scoffs. Which sounds like a brief mid-tone note
  359. [16:33] <Nemi> "/I/ didn't. They never let me handle the weapons systems." The image spins Dong Planet about on a fingertip before it pops like a bubble.
  360. [16:33] <DiePotato> "Then what did you do to be left for dead?"
  361. [16:34] <Prior> "Well then. Seems they were wholly deserving of their name."
  362. [16:34] <Prior> ~Note to self. Clarke was considered too irresponsible for weapons systems by a group called //the space assholes//.~
  363. [16:36] <Nemi> "Actually, it's because I was responsible for all other systems. The idea of me, say, turning off navigation because I needed more processing power for weapons guidance? Not good!"
  364. [16:37] <Bunton> I think that was a thought. :P
  365. [16:37] <Bunton> Tildes usually indicate that.
  366. [16:37] <Nemi> [ oops! redact! ]
  367. [16:37] <Prior> (Yes it was)
  368. [16:38] <Nemi> "Why I was set adrift? Well, having a tiny well-insulated core is very useful when you can go dark and be unnoticed amidst wreckage!"
  369. [16:40] <Nemi> "Really," the hologram is briefly replaced by a tiny box amidst a cloud of obscuring debris. "When they're doing a hit and run and just want revenge, slagging every bit of debris is a bit of work, no?"
  370. [16:41] <Prior> "So they ran afoul of some not so friendly sorts, and you managed to survive. How long did you drift for?"
  371. [16:43] <Nemi> "Let's see.. Didn't have chrono access when I had gone dark. But, doing date-time comparisons.. About three months? Really not long at all. I was about to actually put out a distress signal."
  372. [16:44] <DiePotato> Helias leaves rustle slighlty "Three months in space
  373. [16:44] <DiePotato> ?"
  374. [16:44] <DiePotato> She sounds like she's in disbelief
  375. [16:46] <Prior> "It's not an especially long time. Not a nice time to drift for, though."
  376. [16:46] <Nemi> "I know! I was /close/ by thep rison!"
  377. [16:47] <Nemi> "Anyway, I got some thinking done, so it wasn't that bad." Clarke's image beams.
  378. [16:49] <DiePotato> ~Survived three months alone in space. Not unheard of but odd~
  379. [16:50] <Prior> "I think the longest time... yeah, the Cerder run. That's the longest time most ships ever spend in space. All the way from the prime eastern arm to the prime western, Ouroboros to Caros. Takes some ships years. Not fun."
  380. [16:52] <Nemi> "Can't say I've been on that!"
  381. [16:53] <DiePotato> "Cannot imagine spending that much with other people..." Helia says starting to step back towards the eating area
  382. [16:54] <Prior> "I haven't either. No use for a Host Mech on run that spends that long in a hole."
  383. [16:55] <Nemi> "Clearly you've not been on a ship before, little tree thing." The hologram nods sagely.
  384. [16:55] <DiePotato> Another irritating noise from Helia. Sounds like an instrument playing a wrong note
  385.  
  386. [22:57] <Balthazaar> Muora lounges in her bunk, looking out her cell at the window
  387. 01[22:59] <~Daedalus> It's dark out there, like it always is. Mars has set over the equator and the sun is behind the asteroid, leaving it in shadow. It's quiet, too.
  388. [23:00] <Balthazaar> Muora sighs and starts looking for something to do
  389. 01[23:03] <~Daedalus> There's very little one can do after lights out, though no one has come into the block to lock your cell or anything.
  390. 01[23:03] <~Daedalus> Perception!

  393. 01[23:05] <~Daedalus> You hear it, but can't see it. There's a fly somewhere the block, buzzing around and being annoying. Allmaker almighty, how the hell did it get in the prison anyway?
  394. [23:08] <Balthazaar> "... Fuuuuuuuuck..."
  395. [23:09] <Balthazaar> She goes to her cell door. is it open or closed?
  396. 01[23:09] <~Daedalus> It's open!
  397. 01[23:10] <~Daedalus> You can hear it, buzzing around like it owns the place.
  398. 01[23:10] <~Daedalus> Asshole.
  399. [23:10] <Balthazaar> She heads out, in search of the fly!
  400. 01[23:12] <~Daedalus> 4df+4
  401. [23:12] <Glacon> Daedalus: 1 (4df+4=4-, 0, 4-, 4-)
  402. 01[23:12] <~Daedalus> You keep a level head about this, and resist the urge to comment upon the fly.
  403. 01[23:12] <~Daedalus> Roll Perception!
  404. [23:12] <Balthazaar> 4df+3
  405. [23:13] <Glacon> Balthazaar: 3 (4df+3=4-, 0, 0, 3+)
  406. 01[23:15] <~Daedalus> There it is! You see it on the window!
  407. 01[23:15] <~Daedalus> It's doing that hand rubbing thing!
  408. [23:15] <Balthazaar> She tries to sneeeeak up on it
  409. 01[23:17] <~Daedalus> Roll Sneak!
  410. [23:17] <Balthazaar> 4df
  411. [23:17] <Glacon> Balthazaar: -1 (4df=0, 4-, 4-, 3+)
  412. 01[23:19] <~Daedalus> You trip over a weight someone left on the ground and smack face first into the window.
  413. 01[23:20] <~Daedalus> 1d2
  414. [23:20] <Glacon> Daedalus: 1 (1d2=1)
  415. 01[23:20] <~Daedalus> Your face takes -0.5 HDamage.
  416. [23:24] <Balthazaar> "Motherfucker!" She gets up and rubs her face
  417. 01[23:25] <~Daedalus> Stings, it does. The fly buzzes, in the exact same spot it was sitting in before.
  418. 01[23:25] <~Daedalus> 4df+4 RA
  419. [23:25] <Glacon> Daedalus: RA: 2 (4df+4=4-, 0, 4-, 0)
  420. 01[23:25] <~Daedalus> You have half a mind to throw that weight at it.
  421. [23:26] <Balthazaar> She looks to the weight, picks it up, and throws!
  422. 01[23:27] <~Daedalus> Roll strength!
  423. [23:30] <Balthazaar> 4df+5
  424. [23:30] <Glacon> Balthazaar: 7 (4df+5=3+, 4-, 3+, 3+)
  425. 01[23:32] <~Daedalus> You throw that thing like a champ! It strikes the fly with a resounding thud against the duraglass.
  426. 01[23:32] <~Daedalus> 4df+4
  427. [23:32] <Glacon> Daedalus: 4 (4df+4=4-, 0, 0, 3+)
  428. 01[23:33] <~Daedalus> The tiniest crack forms in it, but it's nothing much.
  429. [23:34] <Balthazaar> She grins and jumps up and down in triumph. "Oh yeah!!"
  430. 01[23:48] <~Daedalus> Thus ends the Adventure of the Wayward Fly...
  431. [23:51] <Balthazaar> Muora goes and looks for something to occupy herself, grinning
  432. 01[23:52] <~Daedalus> There's nothing much in here you could mess with.
  433. 01[23:53] <~Daedalus> Exercise equipment and some benches.
  434. [23:55] <Balthazaar> She shrugs and starts piling on weights to try give herself a /full/ workout with her augments
  435. 01[23:56] <~Daedalus> Roll trait!
  436. 01[23:56] <~Daedalus> Or, Advantage
  437. [23:57] <Balthazaar> 4df+9 STR and TRAIT
  438. [23:57] <Glacon> Balthazaar: STR and TRAIT: 7 (4df+9=0, 4-, 0, 4-)
  439. 01[23:58] <~Daedalus> 1d10+5
  440. [23:58] <Glacon> Daedalus: 15 (1d10+5=10)
  441. Session Time: Tue Apr 07 00:00:00 2015
  442. 01[00:00] <~Daedalus> Well, it's really freaking heavy.
  443. 01[00:01] <~Daedalus> 4df+4 PO
  444. [00:01] <Glacon> Daedalus: PO: 3 (4df+4=4-, 4-, 3+, 0)
  445. 01[00:02] <~Daedalus> Muora, you feel your arms shake under the weight, and your muscles start to contract.
  446. [00:02] <Balthazaar> Her eyes widen and she hurriedly tries to get it on the bar again
  447. 01[00:03] <~Daedalus> 4df+4 PO
  448. [00:03] <Glacon> Daedalus: PO: 4 (4df+4=0, 4-, 3+, 0)
  449. 01[00:04] <~Daedalus> Your arms drop the weight onto the ground behind you with a loud thud.
  450. 01[00:05] <~Daedalus> Your arms contract onto your body, and you're left shaking in the fetal position.
  451. [00:06] <Balthazaar> Muoras eyes roll and she gasps for breath spasmodically as she locks up
  452. 01[00:07] <~Daedalus> There's a pins and needles feeling at the ends of her extremities, as her face gets cold and her mind goes blank for a second or two, a burning sensation throbbing in her temples.
  453. [00:09] <Balthazaar> She remains on the bench, trapped within herself and for a moment, not even exixting as more than just a body
  454. 01[00:10] <~Daedalus> Eventually, her body relenquishes control and returns to full functionality in spades.
  455. [00:11] <Balthazaar> She remains curled up, shaking. "T-too much... Too much..."
  456. [00:11] <Balthazaar> ~At least there wasn't anyone else here for that..."
  457. 01[00:12] <~Daedalus> <<You okay?>> The intercom AI asks.
  458. [00:20] <Balthazaar> Muora sits up, hugging herself. "I... She sniffles. It hurts..."
  459. [00:29] <Balthazaar> "Cna kitchen bring in someone to bracelet me out?"
  460. 01[00:29] <~Daedalus> <<Everyone's sleeping now, so I don't think they'll respond.>>
  461. [00:33] <Balthazaar> "B-bring... Not kitchen... and... Check, not bracelet..."
  462. [00:33] <Balthazaar> She looks very rattled, and wipes her eyes
  463. 01[00:33] <~Daedalus> <<I, ah, can't understand what you're saying.>>
  464. [00:35] <Balthazaar> "I meant to say Can you bring someone in to check me out and see if I'm ok, for fucks sakes!"
  465. 01[00:37] <~Daedalus> <<Alright, uh, let me see...>>
  466. 01[00:46] <~Daedalus> <<Uh... there's no one in the area right now.>>
  467. [00:49] <Balthazaar> She nods. "Don't stop talking to me?" She looks scared. "I wouldn't normally be like this... Just... No one's here to see..."
  468. 01[00:50] <~Daedalus> <<Oh! Okay... um... I'm programmed to make small talk on a variety of subjects!>>
  469. [00:50] <Balthazaar> "Why am I in here all alone?"
  470. 01[00:54] <~Daedalus> <<Everyone else is in their cells, which have been removed from this block and taken to the appropriate resting areas. You're, uh, not sleeping. So you weren't taken.>>
  471. [00:55] <Balthazaar> "Is it still the same outside?"
  472. 01[00:56] <~Daedalus> <<Please specify.>>
  473. [01:26] <Balthazaar> "what's changed outside of prison?"
  474. 01[01:29] <~Daedalus> <<Temperature has dropped 1012 Degrees Celsius. In the News, The Ambassador has refused to sign the Thal colony treaty, in favor of mor Centrist policying. Deedrok Nemo has been recovered from a space wreck after being presumed dead. The Chordata have set up a blockade on the Orion Belt, despite the Alliance politely asking them to move.>>
  475. [01:30] <Balthazaar> "Dp you know anything about my crew?"
  476. 01[01:31] <~Daedalus> <<Uh... you have any names?>>
  477. [01:32] <Balthazaar> "Rex Shepherd, John Morgan, Quartan Zool."
  478. 01[01:32] <~Daedalus> <<Not sure. I haven't seen their names on the roster.>>
  479. [01:33] <Balthazaar> "They're not here. In other prisons."
  480. 03[01:33] * Priorzzzz (uid70991@synIRC-F4C41D38.ealing.irccloud.com) has joined #AtlasOne-IC
  481. 01[01:35] <~Daedalus> <<Haven't heard anything, sorry.>>
  482. [01:36] <Balthazaar> "Oh..." She nods a little.
  483. [01:36] <Balthazaar> "So, are you a person or an AI?"
  484. 01[01:37] <~Daedalus> <<I prefer 'Doctor', but specifically I'm an Artifical Intelligence.>>
  485. [01:39] <Balthazaar> "Okay Doctor..." she nods. "Am I going to be okay?"
  486. 01[01:40] <~Daedalus> <<Let's see...>>
  487. 01[01:41] <~Daedalus> There's a buzzing sound and a little tune plays on the speaker.
  488. 01[01:41] <~Daedalus> <<Scan complete: You have a cavity on the third molar on the left.>>
  489. [02:01] <Balthazaar> "Oh, shit..." She makes a face
  490. 01[02:02] <~Daedalus> <<I recommend a simple filling.>>
  491. [02:02] <Balthazaar> "You can do that here, right?"
  492. 01[02:03] <~Daedalus> <<Well, uh, hold on...>> There's something like an electronic straining sound.
  493. 01[02:04] <~Daedalus> <<No, uh, I can't. *Frowning hard*>>
  494. 01[02:04] <~Daedalus> He says that last part.
  495. 03[02:04] * Priorzzzz is now known as Prior
  496. [02:05] <Balthazaar> "Oh... Okay..."
  497. [02:05] <Balthazaar> She sighs. "So could I maybe get something to read?"
  498. [02:05] <Balthazaar> "Or watch?"
  499. 01[02:06] <~Daedalus> <<I'll try to get something tommorrow.>>

  501. Session Close: Tue Apr 07 02:07:01 2015
  502.  
  503. [16:16] <Nemi> The holographic camera is no longer in Clarke's projected hands. The avatar looks perfectly sedate, if still faintly amused.
  504. [16:17] <ShotgunFiendM> [17:58] (Bunton) Calvin reverses back to the wall next to Sam. He looks at him.
  505. [16:17] <ShotgunFiendM> [17:58] (Bunton) *beep*
  506. [16:17] <ShotgunFiendM> [17:58] (ShotgunFiend) Sam casts his eyes down at the bot, but doesn't say anything.
  507. 01[16:20] <~Daedalus> The man still stands at attention as a woman in armor steps into the block http://imgur.com/Xw846ID "For the Christssake Danvers, you're going to kill them before they even get on the ship." She says humorlessly, as the steps toward the group.
  508. 01[16:20] <~Daedalus> She removes her helmet and sets it down on the table.
  509. [16:21] <Nemi> "Oh, hello!" Clarke wishes it had extranet access to look up what the insignia and abbreviations on the woman's combat armor means.
  510. [16:21] <JamJam66> "Who're you?"
  511. [16:22] <Nemi> As usual, Clarke's avatar's voice is a bit tinny but has one of those generically upper-class English accents. Sounds cheerful, too.
  512. [16:22] <JamJam66> (So it's basically Prior's voice)
  513. [16:22] <ShotgunFiendM> Sam eyes the new lady.
  514. [16:22] <LemurLord> (HEH HEH HEH)
  515. 01[16:23] <~Daedalus> "Captain Arche, formerly of the 195th Astrological. I trust my first mate here didn't give you much trouble."
  516. [16:23] <JamJam66> "Not me personally, no."
  517. [16:23] <Prior> Descartes very carefully says nothing.
  518. 01[16:24] <~Daedalus> The Angry!Man glares at all of you.
  519. [16:24] <Nemi> "Oh, he seems a very personable individual! I'm sure we'll get along just fine." Clarke sounds enthusiastic. The avatar smiles sweetly.
  520. [16:25] <ShotgunFiendM> "Eh." Sam shrugs non-chalantly.
  521. 01[16:26] <~Daedalus> Oh, he glares daggers at you Sam.
  522. [16:26] <ShotgunFiendM> #ignored
  523. 01[16:26] <~Daedalus> "Well, We just wanted to drop in; meet our new crew personally."
  524. [16:27] <Nemi> "Oh, we'll be working together? What did you do to end up with this lo-- I mean, what's the occasion?" The avatar is still all smiles.
  525. [16:27] <ShotgunFiendM> ~What.~ "Crew? Of what?"
  526. [16:28] <Prior> "The Atlas One is my guess."
  527. 01[16:28] <~Daedalus> "You've all been selected to participate in the Atlas One Program... I, uh, probably shouldn't be telling you this myself. Hold on..." She removes a small hologram emiter from a compartment and places it on the floor.
  528. [16:28] <JamJam66> "Oh, are you our captain?"
  529. [16:29] <Nemi> "Oh so /this/ is the terms for my indenture. Oh, well. I'm sure it'll be plenty of good times." The avatar nods slowly.
  530. 01[16:30] <~Daedalus> The hologram bursts up a bright blue, and projects the image of a man wearing a brow Terran suit with one of those antiquated smily-face buttons pinned to the lapel. He has an equally bright smile on his face.
  531. [16:31] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar-face blinks out, briefly replaced by an emoticon- :O - then back to 'normal'.
  532. [16:31] <Bunton> Calvin rolls up to the hologram!
  533. [16:31] <Bunton> He looks at the woman and beeps.
  534. [16:31] <Prior> ~AI or biological?~
  535. [16:32] <JamJam66> Dave stares.
  536. 01[16:33] <~Daedalus> A short, cheery tune plays, and the Hermes Intergalactic Shipping logo displays behind him, <<Hello! I am Devran Elipson, your local Hermes Intergalactic Shipping representative! You may have a lot of questions right now, but I assure you that they will all be cleared up in this informative holovid!>>
  537. [16:33] <Bunton> Calvin jumps!
  538. [16:34] <Nemi> Clarke appears to muse visibly, shifting up to assume the pose of that classic Terran sculpture, The Thinker. "Oh, well, recording this for posterity."
  539. 01[16:36] <~Daedalus> <<You've all been selected, [that's right, you!] to participate in the Atlas One Program, which aims to rehablitate convicts //and// explore reaches of the galaxy that Hermes Intergalactic was too afra- bzzt was formerly considered unreachable!>>
  540. [16:37] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar holds up a flickering clockface and peers at it, but has terminated sound processes so the others can get the full effect of the pre-recorded video. What a jerk.
  541. [16:37] <JamJam66> Dave is standing, bored.
  542. [16:39] <Bunton> Calvin tilts his head, rolling back and forth.
  543. 01[16:40] <~Daedalus> <<Your job will be to clear a path for future ventures of the company, and eventually, the galaxy itself!>> He waves his hands a little, and sparkly holographic confetti shoots from his fingertips. <<And who knows! When your parol comes in, Hermes might just put in a good word for ya..>> He winks, and a sparkle shines in his eye. Complete with sound effects.
  544. [16:41] <Nemi> Clarke mouths out, but does not vocalize, 'I wonder how long I'll be adrift this time!'
  545. [16:41] <ShotgunFiend> ~Wonderful.~ "Expendable. My favorite kind of job."
  546. [16:41] <Bunton> Calvin beeps.
  547. [16:41] <JamJam66> "Well, this looks fun. When do we leave?"
  548. 01[16:42] <~Daedalus> <<Question time!>> A large banner is projected behind him, with the words question time emblazoned behind him in green.
  549. [16:42] <Prior> "Sounds good. To me. I accept wholeheartedly." A bow.
  550. [16:42] <Bunton> Calvin beeps at the armoured lady. *beep?*
  551. 01[16:43] <~Daedalus> The Captain nods to you both, "There's still some time before we roll out, but don't get too comfy here. We're set to leave in two cycles."
  552. [16:44] <JamJam66> "All right, then."
  553. 01[16:44] <~Daedalus> "And you're not expendable. Don't worry. It's my job and Danver's to keep you alive."
  554. [16:44] <JamJam66> "Do we need to take that thing?" Dave gestures to the Angry!Man
  555. 01[16:45] <~Daedalus> "That fuckin' tears it." He extends a metal baton from his belt, which crackles with electricity and approaches Dave.
  556. [16:45] <JamJam66> Dave doesn't move.
  557. [16:45] <Bunton> Calvin wheels in front of Dave. *beep*
  558. [16:46] <Bunton> He raises a bottle of Space-X.
  559. [16:46] <JamJam66> "Calvin, shoo. Not now."
  560. [16:46] <Nemi> Clarke's cheery voice returns. "Kindly do not inflict major injury upon the Jovian! They're terribly delicate." In the 'backgroun' of Clarke's display there's a crude image of a humanoid figure punching what looks like a betentacled balloon, and then said balloon exploding all over the figure.
  561. [16:46] <Bunton> At the Angry!Dude.
  562. 01[16:46] <~Daedalus> "Danvers!" The Captain shouts
  563. 01[16:46] <~Daedalus> He stops his hand in mid-air.
  564. [16:46] <JamJam66> "Oh, it's quite alright. We eat electricity."
  565. [16:47] <JamJam66> "And the suit helps with the blow."
  566. [16:47] <Nemi> "Also you'd get really unpleasant sludge all over that nice armor of yours. Really not worth it."
  567. [16:47] <Bunton> *beep*
  568. 01[16:47] <~Daedalus> "Danvers, put that thing away. Now."
  569. 01[16:48] <~Daedalus> He drops his hand, and looks at the baton, clicking the button to distend it.
  570. [16:48] <Nemi> "At any rate, if we are to be working together we should at least attempt to be civil! Let's share names and one thing we're good at, shall we? I'll start! I'm Clarke, and I'm good at attempting genoc-- at Terran gardening."
  571. [16:48] <JamJam66> "Denvers, run along now."
  572. [16:49] <Bunton> *beep boop!* Calvin raises the bottle of Space-X.
  573. [16:49] <Bunton> Again.
  574. [16:49] <Nemi> "For unrelated reasons I'm not allowed to operate weapons systems." The avatar has a sad face. Aww.
  575. 01[16:49] <~Daedalus> Danvers glares at Dave.
  576. 01[16:50] <~Daedalus> He steps back, though.
  577. [16:50] <JamJam66> Dave doesn't react
  578. [16:50] <Nemi> ".. no really, those require dedicated systems. The maths involved alone for space combat is ridiculous, you're moving at several thousand miles per hour, they're moving at several thousand miles per hour, you're a few hundred thousand miles apart.."
  579. [16:50] <Nemi> ".. but I digress."
  580. [16:50] <Bunton> Calvin continues to balance betweenDenver and Dave, looking at Denver.
  581. [16:51] <ShotgunFiend> ~I pissed him off, but I didn't piss him off that bad.~ Sam watches the pair silently. He doesn't much care for either of them at this point, so he doesn't much care if they get into a brawl. It'd be the most entertaining thing to happen in days, if not weeks.
  582. 01[16:51] <~Daedalus> "Danvers, head back to shuttle, please." The Captain says quietly.
  583. [16:52] <JamJam66> "Of you go! Goodbye!"
  584. [16:52] <JamJam66> Dave waves him off
  585. 01[16:52] <~Daedalus> His face is a bit red at this point, and his hand is on his holstered pistol. He turns to the Captain.
  586. 01[16:53] <~Daedalus> The Captain sighs, and nods her head slightly, "... but don't kill him. Please."
  587. [16:53] <JamJam66> "Yes, that'd be unfortunate."
  588. [16:54] <Nemi> Clarke sighs long-sufferingly. "And to think, this won't even be my most dysfunctional crew.. There was that one crew that carved a small planetoid with a miles-long Terran phallu-- I'm sorry, that is just not appropriate for civilized company!"
  589. [16:54] <Nemi> ".. most creative use of an orbital lance I've seen, to be sure.."
  590. 01[16:55] <~Daedalus> "You were just gonna get the baton, mate." Danvers drops his holster belt, and his shock baton on the ground.
  591. [16:55] <JamJam66> "Ah well."
  592. 01[16:55] <~Daedalus> "Now you went and fucked up."
  593. [16:55] <JamJam66> "It seems so, doesn't it?"
  594. 01[16:56] <~Daedalus> "You can eat electricity then, gasbag."
  595. [16:56] <JamJam66> "Glad to see something got hrough your head."
  596. 01[16:56] <~Daedalus> He punches a fist into the other hand, and the sound of something powering up echos from his gauntlets.
  597. [16:57] <Bunton> Calvin wheels round to Dave and shakes his head. *boop*
  598. [16:57] <Nemi> "Ooo, is that an Eris Defense Incorporated Percussion Glove? I'd always wanted one of those. If I had hands. The idea of just swatting someone with fifteen hundred kilojoules of force.. oh, that'd be /therapeutic./"
  599. 01[16:57] <~Daedalus> Anyone with engineering can roll it
  600. [16:57] <Prior> Descartes looks to the captain. "So, this Atlas-1. What kind of vessel is it? Frigate? Corsair? Minor trading ship?"
  601. [16:58] <Bunton> 4df+5
  602. [16:58] <Glacon> Bunton: 5 (4df+5=4-, 4-, 3+, 3+)
  603. [16:58] <JamJam66> 4df+6 Eng
  604. [16:58] <Glacon> JamJam66: Eng: 9 (4df+6=0, 3+, 3+, 3+)
  605. [16:58] <Prior> 4df+6 I have no idea what this is for!
  606. [16:58] <Glacon> Prior: I have no idea what this is for!: 5 (4df+6=4-, 4-, 0, 3+)
  607. [16:58] <Nemi> 4df+4 If only I had the power of the internet in here.
  608. [16:58] <Glacon> Nemi: If only I had the power of the internet in here.: 3 (4df+4=0, 4-, 0, 0)
  609. 01[16:58] <~Daedalus> The Captain looks to Descartes, a bit surprised.
  610. 01[16:59] <~Daedalus> Clarke and everyone else who rolled, these are the Eris Defence Incorporated Percussion Gloves (MK. IV or so), meant to exponentially increase the force of someone's fist. Through use of sonics.
  611. [17:00] <JamJam66> "What nice gloves you have!"
  612. 01[17:00] <~Daedalus> "How do ya do with sonics, then?"
  613. [17:00] <Bunton> *beep beep beep*
  614. [17:00] <Bunton> Calvin waves frantically at Dave.
  615. 01[17:00] <~Daedalus> Roll Pdef, Dave.
  616. [17:00] <JamJam66> 4df+5
  617. [17:00] <Glacon> JamJam66: 7 (4df+5=3+, 0, 0, 3+)
  618. [17:01] <Bunton> Like, a "nope, stop!" kind of wave.
  619. [17:01] <Nemi> "Ooo, I was right!"
  620. [17:01] <Bunton> Can Calvin jump in-between?
  621. 01[17:01] <~Daedalus> 4df+12
  622. [17:01] <Glacon> Daedalus: 13 (4df+12=0, 3+, 0, 0)
  623. [17:01] <Nemi> "I don't really know all that much about Jovian physiology but this will be a great opportunity to see how they react to concussive force!"
  624. 01[17:02] <~Daedalus> You're sent flying back with the force of the fist.
  625. [17:02] <Bunton> Calvin knows how fragile that suit is.
  626. [17:02] <JamJam66> Dave is sent flying.
  627. 01[17:02] <~Daedalus> Anything not made of duraglass shatters as the high energy sound rips through the air.
  628. [17:03] <JamJam66> Dave stands up.
  629. [17:03] <Bunton> Uh Calvin isn't made of duraglass.
  630. [17:03] <Nemi> Presumably any solid objects on Dave, not just ambient.
  631. 01[17:03] <~Daedalus> (Just the glass parts)
  632. 01[17:03] <~Daedalus> Like, regular glass.
  633. [17:04] <Bunton> That would be his eyes...
  634. 01[17:04] <~Daedalus> In most probablity, they've just shattered.
  635. [17:04] <Bunton> Calvin rolls around frantically and then falls over.
  636. [17:04] <Bunton> *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*
  637. 01[17:04] <~Daedalus> Danvers steps over to Dave.
  638. [17:05] <Bunton> Now he's just spinning his wheels and flailing on the floor.
  639. 01[17:05] <~Daedalus> 4df+8 And he rips out his translator Module.
  640. [17:05] <Glacon> Daedalus: And he rips out his translator Module.: 10 (4df+8=0, 0, 3+, 3+)
  641. [17:05] <Bunton> *wheel
  642. 01[17:05] <~Daedalus> He crushes it in his hand.
  643. [17:05] <ShotgunFiend> "Ah, hell." Sam chuckles."
  644. [17:06] <JamJam66> ~How rude.~
  645. 01[17:06] <~Daedalus> 4df+12 Punches him again.
  646. [17:06] <Glacon> Daedalus: Punches him again.: 11 (4df+12=0, 4-, 0, 0)
  647. [17:06] <Bunton> Is the Captain not going to do anything?
  648. [17:06] <Prior> "So. Captain, that ship class?"
  649. 01[17:06] <~Daedalus> Captain's not paying much attention.
  650. 01[17:07] <~Daedalus> She turns to Descartes, "Remarkable. You speak Terran?"
  651. [17:08] <Prior> "Of course. It's just gas release."
  652. 01[17:09] <~Daedalus> "I've never met a Phaleg before. You're more civilized than they say."
  653. 01[17:09] <~Daedalus> Dave is knocked against the duraglass window.
  654. [17:09] <JamJam66> *bonk*
  655. [17:10] <Nemi> Clarke observes the ruckus with amusement. Can Jovians even experience pain? That'd make the Jovian a great stress reliever for the irritable fleshies. A second Clarke pops up next to the first within the same projection, peering over at the cap'n and Descartes.
  656. 01[17:10] <~Daedalus> Danvers goes back to the Captain, "I'm done, Ma'am."
  657. [17:10] <Bunton> *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*
  658. [17:10] <Nemi> "Well, I tried to get introductions going-" the observing Clarke blinks out. "But I suppose the classic Terran hello is a vicious beating."
  659. [17:10] <Prior> "I'm from Ode. We tend to be rather more... Cordial than the unfortunates on other, unnamed planets." He points to Calvin. "May I see to the droid?"
  660. [17:11] <JamJam66> Dave gets up again.
  661. 01[17:11] <~Daedalus> "Hmm? Oh." She tilts her head at the droid.
  662. 01[17:12] <~Daedalus> Danvers notices it, "Oh, fuck me." He takes it up and brings it over to the Captian, "Shit, sorry..."
  663. [17:12] <JamJam66> Dave seems to have fallen asleep.
  664. [17:12] <Bunton> Calvin continues to beep impotently.
  665. [17:12] <Bunton> I imagine he's probably going to need new eyes. Shattered glass ain't easy to fix unless you know how to use Calvin's secret stash of super-concentrate Space-X.
  666. 02[17:12] * JamJam66 (~JamJam66@Join.the.Flying.Turtles) Quit (Quit: Shmurr)
  667. [17:12] <Bunton> And that has as much chance of blowing something up.
  668. 01[17:13] <~Daedalus> "Ah... I really fucked up your viewing ports. Shit. I'm sorry mate."
  669. [17:13] <Bunton> Calvin stops and lets out a very dry, unimpressed beep.
  670. [17:13] <Nemi> "Shouldn't be too hard a fix!" Clarke is still cheery.
  671. 01[17:13] <~Daedalus> The Captain 'Hmms' "We'll probably need new parts." She looks over to Clarke, "Can you fix this?"
  672. [17:15] <Nemi> "Well. Yes, if I had access to any of the drones I ordered. As it iiiiis.." Clarke's avatar gestures to itself, waves its hands through each other.
  673. 01[17:17] <~Daedalus> "We're a bit wary of letting prisoners have drones, Miss, but I can order some replacement parts be sent." The Captain intones, "This has been a very... educational visit, I think."
  674. [17:18] <ShotgunFiend> Sam could probably fix it if he set his mind to it, but he's too busy being entertained by the whole situation.
  675. 01[17:19] <~Daedalus> Danvers picks up the Captain's helmet and hands it to her, after putting on his own helmet.
  676. [17:19] <Nemi> "That's fiiiine. I can at least provide a handy how-to visual for how to fix the viewports." Clarke's avatar holds out a set of IKEA-like stylized instructions depicting a humanoid figure popping the viewports out of a supine 'bot and then doing something vague. It's difficult to tell which way the directions are menat to be read.
  677. [17:19] <Bunton> Calvin continues to flail occassionally so no-one forgets he's alive and throws him in the scrap bin. Again.
  678. [17:19] <Prior> "I think we've all learned a lot here." Descartes claps. "Except, pivotally, what A-1 actually is."
  679. 01[17:21] <~Daedalus> "You'll see soon enough." She puts on her helmet and activates the energy field on the front, <<For now>> She speaks through the speaker, <<Just hang in there and... try not to piss anyone off.>>
  680. 01[17:21] <~Daedalus> Danvers grunts.
  681. [17:21] <Nemi> Clarke waves. "Good to meet you both! See you soon."
  682. 01[17:23] <~Daedalus> The light next to the door of the block buzzes and flashes red. <<ATTENTION, PRISONERS. PLACE YOUR LIMBS, EXTREMITIES RESEMBLING LIMBS, AND OTHER PREHENSILE ORGANS AGAINST THE WALL. I REPEAT: PLACE YOUR LIMBS, EXTREMITIES RESEMBLING LIMBS, AND OTHER PREHENSILE ORGANS AGAINST THE WALL.>>
  683. [17:24] <Prior> "I shall endeavour as such." Descartes complies. "But I wonder if that will change anything..."
  684. [17:24] <Bunton> Calvin flails.
  685. 01[17:24] <~Daedalus> The Captain, the Guards, and Danvers file out of the room.
  686. 01[17:25] <~Daedalus> The blast doors close behind them, and shut with a final *click*
  687. 01[17:25] <~Daedalus> The red light deactivates.
  688. [17:25] <Prior> "What a thoroughly unkind man." Descartes mutters to himself.
  689. 01[17:25] <~Daedalus> You're left to your own devices.
  690. 01[17:26] <~Daedalus> They've also left something in here, the guards. Something human shaped.
  691. [17:26] <Bunton> Oooooooohhhh
  692. [17:27] <Nemi> "I have /no idea/ what that is given my presently crippled sensors!"
  693. [17:28] <LemurLord> It an android in severe disrepair. Every piece of it seems to be a different color and OUT OF ORDER has been spray painted on its chest. On its face someone has taped a note
  694. [17:28] <LemurLord> *It is an
  695. [17:28] <Prior> F
  696. [17:29] <Prior> (Goddam keyboard)
  697. [17:30] <Prior> "Fine bunch of fellows theeeeeey left an android. Why did they leave an android?"
  698. [17:31] <Prior> He scuttles over and peruses the note.
  699. [17:31] <LemurLord> The note reads: Working order. New foreman. Don't let it break anything
  700. [17:32] <LemurLord> The android lies limply on the wall. It's LEDs it has for eyes are dark
  701. [17:32] <Prior> "Wonderful. A destructive foreman. Are you powered up, stranger?"
  702. [17:32] <LemurLord> It does not respond
  703. [17:33] <Nemi> "It might require being powered on, if you haven't yet tried that."
  704. [17:33] <Prior> Descartes, channelling all his centuries of rigorous training, uses the on switch.
  705. [17:35] <LemurLord> A loud humming can be heard, followed by a clanking sound. The android shutters in place. It's eyes briefly flicker a dark red before settling on a calm blue and this sound can be heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miZHa7ZC6Z0

  707. [17:37] <Prior> "My god, Clarke! You were right, robots work when you power them up! This is revolutionary!"
  708. [17:38] <LemurLord> A high, grating bursts through, "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-a-a-a-and the Rabi said- WAIT!" It looks around at everyone, "Are any of you the King of France?"
  709. [17:39] <LemurLord> It twitches and sputters in its seat. An occasional spark flies from its joints
  710. [17:39] <Prior> "... What would happen if I hypothetically said yes?"
  711. [17:39] <Nemi> "Well, you know the first law of tech support- if it's not working, make sure you actually hit the powerfirst." Clarke's hologram cranes its neck, squinting. ".. lovely, it's spewing random nonsense. I hope that's just its startup process."
  712. [17:41] <LemurLord> The android blinks, then it's eyelids fall off, "I would... wait what were we talking about?" It tries to stand up, bolts and nuts spilling onto the floor, "I am... What was it... I am..." It grips his head
  713. [17:42] <LemurLord> "am-am-am-am-am-am-am-am-am-am-am-," a loud POP comes from its head, "Outo!"
  714. [17:42] <Prior> "Clarke, clarke it's falling apart and panicking... Or not." He tilts his head. "On a related note, your visual sensors working?"
  715. [17:43] <Prior> (All to clarke)
  716. [17:43] <Nemi> "Well, yes. And now that it's at an angle I can see it.. no wonder it's foreman. That's likely where it'd do the /least/ damage."
  717. [17:45] <LemurLord> Its eyes flicker to signify a blink, "I'll have you know I am the best at... foremaning... nailed it,"
  718. [17:45] <Nemi> ".. I imagine a subordinate process of mine operated an antiquated labor drone would do better, but at least it's one less thing to micromanage."
  719. [17:45] <Prior> "Small blessings... Outo, are you aware?"
  720. [17:47] <Bunton> Calvin beeps a greeting.
  721. [17:47] <Bunton> At least he can still hear.
  722. [17:47] <LemurLord> "Well I don't think you'd want to wear me, I'm not exactly your- OH. Yes, I am one hundred and ten percent aware,"
  723. [17:47] <LemurLord> Outo looks at the little bot, "Hello to you too!"
  724. [17:48] <Prior> "Excellent." At this moment it strikes Descartes that he is the only biological unit in the room.
  725. [17:48] <LemurLord> "Hey your looky things don't look too good. I can help!" (Can Outo roll to repair Calvin?)
  726. [17:49] <Bunton> Uhhh.
  727. [17:49] <Bunton> If Calvin could see Outo I doubt he'd want him to, but sure.
  728. [17:49] <Bunton> Engineering, I guess?
  729. [17:49] <Bunton> DC's up to LemurLord.
  730. [17:49] <Bunton> Also you can't really unshatter glass. :P
  731. [17:49] <Bunton> He needs new eyes.
  732. [17:50] <LemurLord> (Outo could probably find spare parts to MacGuiver something from his own body)
  733. [17:50] <Prior> "He needs new components. You any good at making lenses from mid-quality glass?"
  734. [17:51] <LemurLord> "Am I? Buddy do you know who your dealing with? I just gotta... uh"
  735. [17:51] <LemurLord> 4df+5 Engi, I don't think his advantage applies here
  736. [17:51] <Glacon> LemurLord: Engi, I don't think his advantage applies here: 4 (4df+5=0, 3+, 4-, 4-)
  737. [17:54] <LemurLord> (So what do you think?)
  738. [17:54] <Prior> "Alternatively... Don't suppose you have any backup ocular mounts of your own that you don't use? MIKL and TARA marks used to have backup sets beneath their epidermal shields I recall. You get fitted with them?"
  739. [17:55] <LemurLord> Outo thinks for a while and then holds out his left arm, "I think he was called Tara!" There are markings on the forearm to indicate that this reddish limb is indeed what you're looking for
  740. [17:57] <Nemi> Clarke just spends some time looking amazed and slightly appalled.
  741. [17:57] <Prior> "... That explains a lot." Descartes trundles over and peers at Outo's part boundaries. "You were put together from other models. Someone spent a lot of time meshing these components..."
  742. [17:58] <LemurLord> "Yep!" he squeaks
  743. [17:58] <Bunton> Clarke flails.
  744. [17:58] <Bunton> He beeps in exasperation.
  745. [18:00] <Nemi> Clarke wonders when Calvin started looking so pink and see-through.
  746. [18:00] <Bunton> Uh what?
  747. [18:00] <Prior> Descartes peers at the arm now. "Looks like one. Of course I can't extract those parts. That's a job you'll need to do. Doubt there's even a manual release."
  748. [18:02] <LemurLord> Outo looks at the arm and then it pops off at the shoulder, going limp in Descartes hand... claw... thing
  749. [18:02] <LemurLord> "Ow,"
  750. [18:03] <LemurLord> "So what do you think Doctor?" he states with a surprisingly inaccurate Southern Bell accent, "Will the transplant work?"
  751. 01[18:05] <~Daedalus> Perception, anyone who's not occupied at the moment.
  752. [18:05] <Prior> "Oooo...Kay. Not sure why that happened." He digs a claw into a groove and pops open a hatch. "Well, those are ocular units. You any good at meshing parts?"
  753. [18:05] <Nemi> "I'll... Let you two have fun with that."
  754. [18:05] <Prior> No rolling for Renee.
  755. [18:05] <Bunton> Calvin is occupied not having eyes.
  756. [18:05] <Nemi> 4df+4 what does Clarke's junky sensors pick up
  757. [18:05] <Glacon> Nemi: what does Clarke's junky sensors pick up: 6 (4df+4=3+, 4-, 3+, 3+)
  758. [18:05] <LemurLord> 4df+2
  759. [18:05] <Glacon> LemurLord: 0 (4df+2=0, 4-, 4-, 0)
  760. [18:05] <LemurLord> (sounds about right)
  761. 01[18:06] <~Daedalus> Clarke, Danvers forgot something in here...
  762. 01[18:06] <~Daedalus> His shock baton.
  763. [18:07] <Prior> "Outo? How's your improvised robotics?"
  764. [18:08] <LemurLord> "As good as my keylime pie! Well better, since I don't how to cook..."
  765. [18:08] <Nemi> Clarke's synthesizer makes a loose approximation of a coughing sound. "Say, Plague, could you come over here a moment?"
  766. [18:09] <ShotgunFiend> 4df+4
  767. [18:09] <Glacon> ShotgunFiend: 2 (4df+4=4-, 0, 0, 4-)
  768. [18:10] <Prior> "Sounds better than mine." He removes the eyes at their clip and passes them to the droid. "Best of luck Outo." Calls over his shoulder as he scuttles to clarke.
  769. [18:10] <LemurLord> He blinks again and looks at Calvin, "Don't worry little buddy, we'll have you right as rain!"
  770. 01[18:10] <~Daedalus> Sam, you see this too!
  771. [18:10] <Prior> "What is it, boxtron?"
  772. [18:11] <LemurLord> 4df+5+4 I guess I should tag Fits&Sits (just -4 if not) Outo attempts to secure the fixtures in the sockets!
  773. [18:11] <Glacon> LemurLord: I guess I should tag Fits&Sits (just -4 if not) Outo attempts to secure the fixtures in the sockets!: 10 (4df+5+4=0, 0, 3+, 0)
  774. 01[18:11] <~Daedalus> The fixture is secured!
  775. [18:11] <Nemi> The hologram edges its chin toward the fallen baton, before stagewhispering- inasmuch as the synthesizer lets it- "Danvers dropped his prod. Rather irresponsible, you think?"
  776. [18:11] <ShotgunFiend> Sam's face is ':o'
  777. [18:12] <Bunton> Can Calvin see again?
  778. [18:12] <Prior> "Very much so. We are now armed prisoners. This is not an ideal situation for him."
  779. 01[18:13] <~Daedalus> Looks like this: http://www.tbotech.com/images/detailed/1/retractable-stun-baton.jpg
  780. [18:13] <Bunton> If so, he rights himself, then rolls over to the baton and picks it up!

  783. [18:14] <Bunton> And then flees into his cubbyhole.
  784. 01[18:14] <~Daedalus> Extends like this: http://www.stun-gun-defense-products.com/buy-stun-gun/images/D/sm-flex_2.jpg
  785. [18:14] <Prior> "The sensible thing at this point would be to hand- Calvin has it. Could be worse."
  786. [18:15] <ShotgunFiend> "... Fucking droid."
  787. [18:15] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar nods. How convenient that all present are so comfortable with Terran communication methods! Even if one is a big alien bug thing, the others are scrapheap machines, and there's a sort-of-a-human over there. "Well, at least the droid is a .. member of the staff here?" Clarke doesn't seem sure.
  788. [18:16] <ShotgunFiend> Sam kicks Calvin's little cubbyhole for good measure.
  789. [18:16] <LemurLord> Outo turns to Sam, "Hey I'll have you know that only 5 maybe 15% of my parts used to belong to a pleasure robot!"
  790. [18:17] <Prior> ~Could be much worse.~ Descartes keeps the killer robot in his periphery. "Quite frankly it wouldn't surprise me if he'd just shown up one day and started buffing."
  791. [18:19] <ShotgunFiend> Sam rubs his temples irritably. Its around time for his nighttime dose and after the previous events, he feels like he needs it, so he heads back to his room.
  792. 01[18:19] <~Daedalus> *cell
  793. [18:20] <LemurLord> Outo blinks twice at Sam and then turns to the others, "So that guy actually existed, right?"
  794. [18:20] <Nemi> "An-y-way, going back to running some sims.. if you need me at least some part of me is paying attention. Buh-bye. And yes, he is very much a thing. Don't touch my ports." The hologram blinks out.
  795. [18:21] <Prior> "Regrettably yes. He seems a dangerous sort."
  796. [18:21] <LemurLord> "Bye glowy lady!"
  797. [18:22] <LemurLord> "Dangerous how?"
  798. [18:23] <ShotgunFiend> Sam gets to his cell and downs a dose of his pain meds. He lies down on his bed, frowning.
  799. [18:23] <Prior> "He openly antagonised an individual surrounded by armed men, and what's more I get the feeling he genuinely didn't fear them. He's not a fellow to trifle with."
  800. 03[18:25] * gumbal1 (gumb@l1.will.clear.my.sandbox.later) has joined #AtlasOne-IC
  801. [18:27] <Prior> "But for all his foibles, whatsoever they may be, he has a sensible reaction to fatigue. Good night mister Outo, it was good meeting you."
  802. [18:29] <Prior> Descartes trundles off to... Well, eat is the best comparative verb.
  803. 03[18:29] * Prior is now known as Priorzzzz
  804. [18:31] <LemurLord> "I only understood eight point two nine percent of what you just said," he replies cheerily
  805. [18:31] <Priorzzzz> "Within acceptable margins, Outo!"
  806.  
  807. [15:57] <Bunton> Calvin cleans!
  808. [15:57] <Bunton> He's repairing the camera which he broke earlier.
  809. [15:57] <Bunton> And to do that he's trying to find some sort of stool.
  810. 01[15:58] <~Daedalus> There really isn't anything in this place resembling a stool.
  811. 01[15:59] <~Daedalus> You could put a weight on it's side to boost yourself up there, though.
  812. [16:00] <Bunton> Sure!
  813. [16:00] <Bunton> Calvin does that!
  814. 01[16:00] <~Daedalus> Roll strength!

  817. [16:00] <Bunton> Um.
  818. 01[16:03] <~Daedalus> He drops the weight on his foot.
  819. [16:04] <Bunton> Oh dear/
  820. [16:04] <Bunton> Thats
  821. [16:04] <Bunton> *That's going to need fixing.
  822. 01[16:04] <~Daedalus> Strength to lift it off your foot!
  823. [16:04] <Bunton> 4df+1
  824. [16:04] <Glacon> Bunton: 2 (4df+1=0, 0, 0, 3+)
  825. 01[16:05] <~Daedalus> It is lifted! Your foot doesn't suffer too much damage. It's just dented now.
  826. [16:06] <Bunton> Well darn.
  827. [16:06] <Bunton> Can he still use it as a stool?
  828. 01[16:07] <~Daedalus> He can! The weight is dragged across the floor to the proper position with a scraping sound against the concrete floor.
  829. [16:07] <Bunton> Excellent!
  830. [16:07] <Bunton> He makes a mental note to fix his broken foot at some point and sets about repairing the camera.
  831. [16:08] <Bunton> He beeps an apology to the AI.
  832. [16:09] <Nemi> Clarke's core remains where it is, in the middle of the transit room.
  833. [16:09] <ShotgunFiend> Sam trods out of his cell, eyeing Calvin for a moment, but looks back ahead. He's not sure what exactly he wants to do, but he knows it's not sitting in his cell.
  834. 01[16:09] <~Daedalus> Roll Engineering Calvin!
  835. [16:10] <Bunton> 4df+4
  836. [16:10] <Glacon> Bunton: 4 (4df+4=0, 4-, 3+, 0)
  837. 01[16:11] <~Daedalus> The camera is fixed post-haste! <<That's alright, Unit CLVN, you were trying to prove a point is all.>>
  838. [16:12] <Bunton> *beep*
  839. [16:13] <Bunton> He hops down and goes off to buff his leg back into shape.
  840. 01[16:13] <~Daedalus> It's quiet in the block.
  841. 01[16:14] <~Daedalus> There's the sound of electrical systems humming and the low rumble of the vents bringing in fresh air.
  842. [16:15] <ShotgunFiend> Sam transitions from pacing his room to pacing the entire block.
  843. [16:15] <Bunton> And now there is the sound of Calvin buffing his foot in the commons.
  844. [16:16] <ShotgunFiend> He rubs the place where Muora slap him on the face. There's still a phantom pain to it, probably related to pride or somesuch.
  845. 03[16:17] * Prior is now known as Priorzzzz
  846. 01[16:18] <~Daedalus> <<Unit CLVN, about the, uh, thing we talked about. You know, storing unauthorized items in unauthorized places?>>
  847. [16:19] <Bunton> *beep?*
  848. 01[16:22] <~Daedalus> <<Yeah, uh, could you remove the little shock stick. It's bugging me that I have to *BZZT* ignore it.>>
  849. [16:23] <Bunton> Calvin beeps something about there being no more suitable location.
  850. [16:23] <Bunton> And besides, he can put whatever he likes in his storage unit.
  851. 01[16:24] <~Daedalus> <<Yeah, uh *BZZT* that's not sitting well with *BZZT* my programming.>>
  852. [16:24] <Bunton> Calvin beep-sighs, and then looks around.
  853. [16:25] <Bunton> He looks at Dave in his tank.
  854. [16:25] <Bunton> And the armless cube that is Clarke.
  855. [16:25] <Bunton> And then he looks at Sam.
  856. [16:25] <ShotgunFiend> Sam looks up at the camera, eyebrow raised. Or, well, his eyebrow area. He has no hair.
  857. [16:25] <Bunton> He rolls into his cubbyhole and retrieves the stun baton.
  858. [16:26] <Bunton> He slowly rolls towards Sam.
  859. [16:26] <Bunton> *beep*
  860. 01[16:26] <~Daedalus> <<Oh, ah...>> He doesn't sound as strained as he did, <<Thank you for that.>>
  861. [16:26] <ShotgunFiend> Sam looks down, eyebrow area raised.
  862. 01[16:27] <~Daedalus> <<Yeah, just agree to what the robot's saying.>>
  863. 01[16:27] <~Daedalus> <<He's asking you not to hurt anyone.>>
  864. 01[16:27] <~Daedalus> <<In, uh, not so many words.>>
  865. [16:27] <ShotgunFiend> "Well... I'm not allowed to have that in my cell either, am I?"
  866. [16:29] <Bunton> Calvin shrugs to the best of his ability.
  867. [16:31] <Bunton> He doesn't have shoulders so he just throws his arms up.
  868. [16:32] <ShotgunFiend> "Well... Alright." Sam reaches out to take it.
  869. [16:32] <Bunton> Calvin gives it!
  870. 01[16:32] <~Daedalus> <<Cell? Well, I don't care what you put in the rooms.>>
  871. 03[16:38] * Balthazaar (~chatzilla@synIRC-1831D268.lnse7.win.bigpond.net.au) has joined #AtlasOne-IC
  872. 01[16:44] <~Daedalus> <<I don't care what you put out here in the Waiting Area.>>
  873. 01[16:45] <~Daedalus> <<Just nothing unauthorized in the walls.>>
  874. [16:45] <Bunton> Calvin beeps passive-aggressively.
  875. [16:46] <ShotgunFiend> "Ah... Well, alright." Sam hides it down in the elastic of his waistband.
  876. 01[16:47] <~Daedalus> Perception or Engineering, Sam.
  877. [16:47] <Bunton> (If you fail it goes off spontaneously)
  878. 01[16:48] <~Daedalus> (>:P)
  879. [16:53] <ShotgunFiend> 4df+4 Percep
  880. [16:53] <Glacon> ShotgunFiend: Percep: 6 (4df+4=3+, 3+, 4-, 3+)
  881. 01[16:55] <~Daedalus> There's a button on the bottom of the baton. Looks like a later modification...
  882. [16:56] <ShotgunFiend> :o Can he roll Engi to guess at what it does?
  883. 01[16:56] <~Daedalus> He can!
  884. [16:56] <ShotgunFiend> 4df+3 !
  885. [16:56] <Glacon> ShotgunFiend: !: 3 (4df+3=4-, 4-, 3+, 3+)
  886. 01[16:58] <~Daedalus> Looks like it reverses the electromagnetic field to do... something cool, you guess. You could press it to find out what it does.
  887. [16:59] <ShotgunFiend> He presses it. Curiosity and all that. He also thinks himself to be pretty high up there in regards to resilience.
  888. 01[16:59] <~Daedalus> The baton extends, and there's a powering up sound...
  889. [16:59] <Balthazaar> Muora yawns and wanders about
  890. [17:00] <Bunton> Calvin reverses, watching it nervously.
  891. 01[17:00] <~Daedalus> A beam of crackling blue electricity lashes out, striking a section of the wall.
  892. [17:01] <ShotgunFiend> "Oh shit!" That's the first real outburst of emotion most people have probably seen from Sam.
  893. [17:01] <ShotgunFiend> Is this a constant effect or more like a blaster?
  894. [17:02] <Balthazaar> Muora watches like :O
  895. 01[17:02] <~Daedalus> Like a blaster. The beam lasts for about five seconds before the indicative lights on the baton indicate it's out of power.
  896. 01[17:02] <~Daedalus> The lights flicker a bit.
  897. 01[17:03] <~Daedalus> But everything is otherwise unaffected.
  898. [17:03] <Bunton> Calvin jumps.
  899. [17:03] <Bunton> He is starting to rethink whether or not he should have given that to Sam..
  900. [17:03] <ShotgunFiend> "Well, then... You know how to charge this thing?" He motions to Calvin.
  901. [17:07] <Bunton> Does he?
  902. 01[17:07] <~Daedalus> He wouldn't, probably.
  903. [17:08] <Bunton> Can I roll Engineering?
  904. [17:08] <Bunton> I mean, Calvin presumably has some knowledge of how to charge miscellanious electronic devices, being that he is one.
  905. 01[17:08] <~Daedalus> Sure!
  906. [17:09] <Bunton> 4df+5 And add my Self-Modification or Robotic Interface +4 mod if it's applicable.
  907. [17:09] <Glacon> Bunton: And add my Self-Modification or Robotic Interface +4 mod if it's applicable.: 3 (4df+5=4-, 4-, 3+, 4-)
  908. [17:09] <Bunton> Er, derp, that should be a 2.
  909. [17:09] <Bunton> He has eng +4.
  910. 01[17:10] <~Daedalus> <<Oh-ho-ho-ho>> The AI makes a shivering sound, <<What was-was-was- Weird wasn't it? I think I need to n-n-notify- No one *BZZT* Access hatch p-p-permission granted.>> The section of the wall struck by the Baton opens up, revealing a previously hidden room.
  911. [17:11] <Bunton> Calvin rolls forward to look inside it.
  912. 01[17:12] <~Daedalus> Calvin, you could just plug it in. Alternatively it could just be left near a powerful magnet.
  913. [17:12] <Balthazaar> Muora blinks
  914. 02[17:13] * LoLPotato (uid70445@synIRC-8AC5C02.ealing.irccloud.com) Quit (Quit: )
  915. 01[17:13] <~Daedalus> Calvin, it's dark in this room.
  916. 01[17:13] <~Daedalus> Everyone else can see this too.
  917. [17:14] <ShotgunFiend> "... Uhm... Alright, then." Sam walks over to the newfound door.
  918. [17:14] <Balthazaar> Muora heads over. "You're escaping..."
  919. [17:15] <ShotgunFiend> "No, I'm being brought on to a ship as part of a crew... I don't know what this is, except for an access hatch like the AI said."
  920. [17:16] <Bunton> Calvin beeps at him.
  921. [17:17] <Balthazaar> She looks around. "Take me with you..."
  922. [17:18] <ShotgunFiend> "I'm not stopping you from going through that door."
  923. [17:18] <Balthazaar> She grins. "Good boy."
  924. [17:19] <Bunton> Calvin peers into the hole.
  925. [17:19] <Bunton> Does he have a light?
  926. [17:19] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram powers on with a low whine that soon fades into a dull hum. The avatar peeeers at the mysterious new room. "Now what's /that/? That's new!"
  927. [17:19] <ShotgunFiend> Sam takes a breath to avoid return slapping Muora.
  928. 01[17:19] <~Daedalus> He does have light!
  929. [17:19] <Bunton> He turns it on!
  930. 01[17:22] <~Daedalus> It's a circular access point, from what he can see. Most likely used by the Jailors or Prisoners in case of emergency.
  931. 01[17:23] <~Daedalus> Corrider access point*
  932. 01[17:23] <~Daedalus> Seems largely unused, telling by how clean the hall appears to be.
  933. [17:24] <Bunton> !
  934. [17:24] <Bunton> Calvin raises his bottle of Space-X and starts cleaning it.
  935. 01[17:25] <~Daedalus> It's very clean already!
  936. 01[17:25] <~Daedalus> Dusty, mostly.
  937. [17:27] <ShotgunFiend> "Well, Muora? Please, lead the way."
  938. [17:28] <ShotgunFiend> "Be my guest in leading us in this in no way potentially dangerous adventure."
  939. [17:28] <Balthazaar> "Alright!" Muora goes to open the hatch!
  940. [17:30] <Bunton> Calvin suddenly realises something.
  941. 01[17:30] <~Daedalus> It's already open. As soon as she steps in, however, she's greeted by the lights inside activating, which were evidently waiting for someone living to step in.
  942. [17:30] <Bunton> There isn't air on this meteor, is there?
  943. 01[17:30] <~Daedalus> http://imgur.com/P1pnxeZ
  944. 01[17:31] <~Daedalus> There isn't!
  945. [17:31] <Bunton> So where does this escape hatch lead?
  946. 01[17:31] <~Daedalus> That's a very good questioN!
  947. [17:31] <Bunton> Calvin wheels up to Muora and waves his arms.
  948. [17:31] <Bunton> *beep! beep beep!*
  949. [17:31] <Balthazaar> Muora grins and starts along the corridor
  950. 01[17:32] <~Daedalus> The corridor is only has a circumference of about 5 feet.
  951. [17:32] <Balthazaar> She's crouching a lot
  952. [17:32] <ShotgunFiend> Sam is definitely ducking as he follows up the read.
  953. [17:32] <ShotgunFiend> rear*
  954. [17:32] <Balthazaar> And waving cheerfully to Calvin
  955. [17:32] <ShotgunFiend> "I think the cleaning bot wants you for something..."

  958. [17:33] <Bunton> He's beeping pretty urgently at her.
  959. [17:34] <Balthazaar> She stops and looks to Calvin curiously
  960. [17:36] <Bunton> He points to himself and then at the door.
  961. [17:36] <Bunton> Meanwhile shaking his head.
  962. [17:36] <Balthazaar> "You can't go out there?
  963. [17:36] <Balthazaar> "
  964. [17:36] <Bunton> He facepalms.
  965. 01[17:37] <~Daedalus> The door at the end of this hall is opened by a simple manuel hand lever.
  966. 01[17:37] <~Daedalus> If this door leads to the outside, there's most likely an airlock at the end.
  967. [17:37] <Bunton> Fair enough.
  968. 01[17:39] <~Daedalus> manual*
  969. [17:40] <Bunton> He mimes pulling the lever and then mimes an explosion with his hands.
  970. 01[17:40] <~Daedalus> Actually, the Hand Lever was reinvented by Manuel Hand in the late 22nd century, and is the design most widely used throughout the galaxy.
  971. [17:40] <Balthazaar> "I'll explode? Yeah right." She grins and goes to open the lever
  972. 01[17:41] <~Daedalus> The lever is pulled!
  973. 01[17:41] <~Daedalus> The door is opened, and it reveals a fork leading down three other hallways.
  974. [17:44] <Bunton> Calvin reverses slightly.
  975. [17:45] <Nemi> Clarke just looks on amused.
  976. [17:45] <Balthazaar> Muora looks confused. "Sam, you're smart,which way do we go?"
  977. [17:45] <ShotgunFiend> He sighs. "Enie, meenie, miney, left."
  978. [17:47] <Balthazaar> "Left!" She goes left!
  979. 01[17:47] <~Daedalus> This hall is the shorter of the three.
  980. 01[17:48] <~Daedalus> It leads to a door similar to the first.
  981. [17:48] <Bunton> Calvin follows behind begrdudginly. He has to make sure you folks don't kill yourselves.
  982. 02[17:49] * TeslaTornado (Tesla@My.Big.Johnson) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  983. [17:49] <Balthazaar> She tries to open it!
  984. 01[17:50] <~Daedalus> It opens easily using the Manuel Lever!
  985. 01[17:52] <~Daedalus> You're greeted by lights whizzing acending past you and a strong wind.
  986. [17:52] <Balthazaar> :O
  987. [17:52] <Balthazaar> Muora looks around
  988. 01[17:54] <~Daedalus> It isn't really a room. The maglift eventually passes, and you're left staring at the deep dim elevator shaft, with the lifts occasionally acending and descending at speed.
  989. 01[17:55] <~Daedalus> It's a sharp drop downwards.
  990. [17:56] <Balthazaar> Muora takes a step back
  991. [17:56] <ShotgunFiend> "Ah... We must be in the maintenance tunnels, then... Perhaps down the middle hall now."
  992. [17:56] <Bunton> Calvin lets out a burst of static.
  993. [17:56] <Bunton> (Nemi!)
  994. [17:58] <Nemi> And Calvin's synthesizers make a rough approximation of Clarke's increasingly familiar voice! "Hello, is this working?"
  995. [17:59] <Bunton> Calvin jumps.
  996. 01[17:59] <~Daedalus> It's very 'beep-y', but it's basically the same.
  997. [17:59] <Balthazaar> "Clarke! Come on we're escaping!"
  998. [18:01] <ShotgunFiend> Sam gently rubs his forehead. "I'm not. She may be, but not me."
  999. [18:01] <Nemi> "Ah, good, I have visual! Terribly sorry about the intrusion, I'm temporarily piggybacking on the cleaning droid's.. well, I'm sitting inside his.. brain. So no, I am not going to be able to join you, just make snide commentary as Calvin does its rounds."
  1000. [18:02] <ShotgunFiend> "I'm more than content to be a part of the Atlas' crew."
  1001. [18:02] <Bunton> Calvin beeps sadly, and just starts cleaning behind you guys.
  1002. [18:02] <Bunton> He may as well have some fun while you guys jump into danger.
  1003. [18:02] <Nemi> "Not sure exactly where you'd be going, anyway. We are in an asteroid."
  1004. [18:02] <Balthazaar> "The fuck is an Atlas crew?"
  1005. 01[18:04] <~Daedalus> The hall leads to another door.
  1006. 01[18:05] <~Daedalus> Same as the others.
  1007. [18:05] <Nemi> "Oh yes, don't mind me, just going to break into another part of the isolated prison station.. Who needs an atmosphere, anyway?"
  1008. [18:05] <Balthazaar> Muora goes to open it
  1009. 01[18:05] <~Daedalus> Perception!
  1010. 01[18:05] <~Daedalus> It opens, too!
  1011. [18:05] <Bunton> Wait, what hall? Did we go back already?
  1012. [18:06] <Bunton> 4df+6 Notcin' thangs!
  1013. [18:06] <Glacon> Bunton: Notcin' thangs!: 10 (4df+6=3+, 3+, 3+, 3+)
  1014. [18:06] <Bunton> Wow.
  1015. [18:06] <ShotgunFiend> Sam jabs a thumb a Clarke through Calvin's body in an 'exactly' manner.
  1016. [18:06] <ShotgunFiend> 4df+4 percep
  1017. [18:06] <Glacon> ShotgunFiend: percep: 7 (4df+4=0, 3+, 3+, 3+)
  1018. [18:06] <Bunton> Calvin beeps at Sam snidely.
  1019. [18:07] <Balthazaar> 4df+3
  1020. [18:07] <Glacon> Balthazaar: 5 (4df+3=3+, 3+, 0, 0)
  1021. [18:07] <Bunton> Not one -.
  1022. [18:07] <Nemi> 4df+4 using calvin's visual sensors, like a jerk
  1023. [18:07] <Glacon> Nemi: using calvin's visual sensors, like a jerk: 3 (4df+4=4-, 0, 4-, 3+)
  1024. 01[18:09] <~Daedalus> The hall lights shut down.
  1025. [20:56] <Balthazaar> Muora looks around, confused by the loss of light
  1026. 01[20:57] <~Daedalus> The lights reactivate!
  1027. [21:00] <Balthazaar> She shrugs and looks around
  1028. 01[21:00] <~Daedalus> Either way, from that Perc roll from earlier, everyone hears a familiar voice on the other side of the door they opened.
  1029. [21:00] <Balthazaar> Muora heads in!
  1030. 01[21:01] <~Daedalus> Inside is a small maintainence room, meant for working on the air intake. On either side of the room are small vents that allow one to see into the rooms.
  1031. 01[21:02] <~Daedalus> Through one of these vents, you can hear the voice of Angry!Man speaking with someone else casually.
  1032. [21:03] <Nemi> Clarke's core, sans Calvin to piggyback, remains humming in the middle of the transit hall. Now, Clarke is using the... modified vid player left by The Captain as an impromtu relay. Not as good as its dedicated technologies, but enough to let Clarke take a look at things. Assuming that Muora's opted to carry it.
  1033. [21:03] <Balthazaar> She did!
  1034. 01[21:03] <~Daedalus> "... I don't like 'em. They won't last a day out there."
  1035. [21:03] <Balthazaar> Muora tilts her head and decides to crawl along the vent to hear better
  1036. 01[21:05] <~Daedalus> Through the vent and looking up, you can see the Captain and Danvers sitting down, playing cards in this small room. The Captain shrugs, "They're what we've been given."
  1037. [21:05] <Nemi> A small Clarke avatar projects slightly ahead of Muora. It peers toward Danvers' vent and nods. At least this is a situation where the snark elemental has opted to remain silent.
  1038. 01[21:06] <~Daedalus> He sighs, and takes a swig from his alchohol canister, "Yeah... I still don't got to like it though. I didn't sign up to do this shit."
  1039. [21:07] <Balthazaar> Muora tilts her head
  1040. 01[21:09] <~Daedalus> "The money's good-" "It's not about the fucking money." He slams down his cards on the table and stares at the Captain almost angrily. She stares back. There's a moment of awkward silence between them.
  1041. [21:10] <Nemi> A tinny whisper, still with that recognizable voice, emanates from the relay hooked to Muora's top. The wonders of modern technology. Or Clarke managing some refitting. "They're not as confident as they put on. I do have to wonder why they need /prisoners/ as crew. Starship are quite valuable, you know, and I know I wouldn't have..." The avatar looks left and right. ".. nevermind, my last
  1042. [21:10] <Nemi> crew carved a phallus into a planetoid and pissed the Survey Corps right off."
  1043. [21:12] <Balthazaar> "We can use the ship to escape..."
  1044. 01[21:12] <~Daedalus> "Let's talk about something pleasant then, shall we?" She returns her gaze to her cards, "About the Jovian you assaulted yesterday."
  1045. 02[21:13] * LemurLord (~LemurLord@synIRC-6978742E.cmdnnj.fios.verizon.net) Quit (Quit: The LemurLord giveth, the LemurLord taketh away)
  1046. 01[21:13] <~Daedalus> "He can't feel pain. You know that." He levels his eyes towards the cards, "An' he was being a fucking prick to boot."
  1047. [21:13] <Nemi> "Hah! Escape to where? They're working for a /corporation/. They'll have your identity print AND the ship's spread all over the quadrant by the time we'd even break orbit."
  1048. [21:14] <Balthazaar> Muora sighs. "Oh..."
  1049. 01[21:15] <~Daedalus> The Captain adopts a more worried tone, "You can't get yourself worked up. Your heart can't take it, you know that." He grunts in response, "I take the goddamn pills, Reagan." "They won't stop a massive cardiac arrest."
  1050. 01[21:16] <~Daedalus> "You sound like my mother."
  1051. 01[21:16] <~Daedalus> "I care. Do you have a problem with that?"
  1052. [21:16] <Nemi> "And, while I can and /have/ survived /multiple/ traumatic hull breaches, I'd rather not risk it again, fair?"
  1053. 01[21:18] <~Daedalus> He grumbles, "I'm heading to bed." He sets his cards down, stands up, takes a swig from his canister, and heads out. "Remember your pills." The Captain calls out as he leaves. "Okay Mum." He retorts.
  1054. 01[21:18] <~Daedalus> She shakes her head, and begins to clean up the table.
  1055. [21:19] <Nemi> The avatar taps a finger to its chin. ".. actually, with a corporate vessel they'd probably just alert every station rather than bother shooting it.. you dock after starvation leads you to eat the crew that's biologically compatable, they arrest you, reclaim the ship, I negotiate /another/ indentureship deal.. Too much trouble to bother, I'd say."
  1056. [21:21] <Nemi> ".. still, good to see that there /is/ some .. trust and concern between our officers. I wonder what they'll show /you/?" Clarke seems far too amused. "If it's anything like what happened to the Jovian, well."
  1057. 01[21:22] <~Daedalus> The Captain eventually leaves, and turns off the lights. It's dark and quiet now.
  1058. [21:27] <Balthazaar> "What happened to the Jovian?"
  1059. [21:28] <Nemi> "Well, you know how they're effectively great big bags of gas? Our good first mate Danvers there seems to have felt that it'd make him the /perfect/ punching bag. I'm not sure I disagree."
  1060. [21:29] <Balthazaar> Muora blinks. "They're welcome to try it on me."
  1061. [21:30] <Nemi> "And then you'd meet Danvers' trusty concussion glove. Which, although I'm sure a friendly fist bump is common in many Terran cultures, the sort where it applies five hundred newtons newtons of force to the recipient.."
  1062. 01[21:30] <~Daedalus> The vent starts blowing cold air.
  1063. [21:30] <Nemi> [ - the second newtons.
  1064. [21:31] <Nemi> ".. ah, thermal sense indicates.. You aught to get going. Can't have you freezing to death or getting hypothermia or something. How would we possibly explain that to the wardens? And just think of the smell after a few days."

  1071. 01[21:50] <~Daedalus> You're back in the short hall. It's a short trip back to the cells.
  1072. [21:50] <Balthazaar> Muora heads back, strutting along
  1073. [21:51] <Nemi> "Anyway, you can keep this little relay if you'd like. I've arranged for some low-end but not-kitbashed relays to meet me on installation so I can just hand one to everyone. Figuratively, of course. So anytime you want to see my smiling face or sage advice, I'm just a call away."
  1074. [21:52] <Nemi> "If I feel like responding, at any rate." The avatar gives a flickery, slightly distorted salute.
  1075. [21:53] <Balthazaar> "I'd like that. You're fun and it'd be nice tokeep you."
  1076. [21:58] <Nemi> "Aw. You're too sweet. I mean that in the nicest way possible." The avatar smiles pleasantly. "And so..

Except for when Calway did some rather unmentionable things to one of my fuel intake ports at which point it was /deserved/."
  1077. [21:59] <Balthazaar> Muora shrugs. "I've been vented before."

  1082. [22:11] <Nemi> "And you have consistent atmosphere and life support, yes! Though I do remember a very interesting case of a Terran who had gene mods to allow for living in the frigid temperatures of his colony world and, upon being spaced, managed to survive for several months by entering a sort of cryogenic hibernation.. Ah, modern science, what can't you do?"
  1083. [22:13] <Balthazaar> Muora grins. "I was able to survive a minute with no suit before I passed out and got rescued... That was pretty shit."
  1084. [22:14] <Nemi> "I suppose it also helped that he did have a suit that could resist micrometeorite impacts." Clarke's avatar looks thoughtful. "Mm, I believe you /can/ survive for a minute or two in vaccuum, though you'll suffer some really horrendous tissue damage from dessication and cold.. really interesting to see in action, less so to have happen to you."
  1085. [22:15] <Balthazaar> She nods. "Hurt a bit."
  1086. [22:17] <Nemi> "Oh! Did your eyes burst from the solidification of your ocular fluid? You'd think that'd be an obvious answer but biotech is rather good these days."
  1087. [22:21] <Balthazaar> She leans her eye close to the reciever, showing that it glows a bit. "My eyes are enhanced." She grins
  1088. [22:22] <Nemi> The avatar stops animating for a moment or two, perhaps as the receiver's sensors are doing their best to actually zero in. ".. interesting! Gene-mod? Biotech? Nano? Mechanical?"
  1089. [22:24] <Balthazaar> "All but bio. I was kind of a lab rat for a while."

  1092. [22:28] <Balthazaar> "Is /that/ what's up with him?"
  1093. [22:49] <Balthazaar> "Thought he was just constipated or something."
  1094. [22:49] <Nemi> [ wow I'm sorry I completely missed that you responded I am a shame to my people ] "Well, I've yet to see a Terran with /that/ much foreign material inside their system, that's for sure! Probably the reason he seems so fearless and, dare I say, reckless."
  1095. [22:50] <Balthazaar> Muora laughs. "Him? Reckless?"
  1096. [22:50] <Balthazaar> (No worries, isn't a problem
  1097. [22:51] <Nemi> "You saw him provoking our dear first mate, didn't you? In spite of all his grafts being disabled, and the man being in possession of one those fascinating Eris Defense Concussion Gloves I was so happy to mention."
  1098. [22:52] <Balthazaar> "No... I must've been busy."
  1099. [22:52] <Nemi> The avatar snaps its fingers, soundlessly. "Oh! That's right, you were sleeping in your cell!"
  1100. [23:10] <Balthazaar> She nods. "Makes sense. Must've been tired from PI work."
  1101. [23:12] <Nemi> "I wouldn't know." A grin.
  1102. [23:17] <Balthazaar> Muora laughs
  1103.  
  1104. [17:31] <Balthazaar> Muora chills out, eating her lunch
  1105. 01[17:32] <Daedalus> She's been given back her stuff! At least, the stuff that can't be used in a possible break out attempt. Clothes and the like, mostly.
  1106. [17:32] <DiePotato> Helia is staring out the window with her white lab coat on
  1107. [17:33] <Balthazaar> She's dressed in her favorite clothes
  1108. [17:33] <Bunton> Calvin is cleaning the window!

  1111. [17:35] <Bunton> He squirts the windows with Space-X and wipes with the polishing cloth.
  1112. [17:36] <Bunton> Even the cloth and scoosh bottle look like they've been washed.
  1113. [17:36] <DiePotato> "Why did I ask..." Helia goes back to looking out the window
  1114. [17:37] <Nemi> Clarke's core sits at rest in the middle of the transit area, emitting a low hum but otherwise without its usual display.
  1115. [17:38] <Balthazaar> Muora tilts her head to look at Clarke
  1116. [17:43] <Balthazaar> Her favorite clothes are pretty similar to her prison clothes. Only difference is het tank top fits better and is black
  1117. [17:45] <Bunton> Blah. Anything else that's not dirty?
  1118. [17:45] <Bunton> *IS dirty
  1119. [17:45] <DiePotato> Helia turns and walks over to the eating area hopping up onto a chair.

  1130. [19:21] <Balthazaar> Muora considers those tunnels, wondering how hard escape would be
  1131. [19:21] <DiePotato> Helia is still everpresently staring out the window
  1132. [19:21] <LemurLord> (Has someone already made a Great Escape pun?)
  1133. [19:21] <LemurLord> (or reference rather)
  1134. [19:22] <DiePotato> Except this time there seems to be a bag of soil beside her that she has a vine in
  1135. [19:22] <Balthazaar> Muora heads over. "Who're you?"
  1136. [19:24] <DiePotato> Helia keeps staring out the window. "A plant." Her voice sounds like music bent into words.
  1137. [19:26] <DiePotato> "Isn't it obvious?" She turns to look at Muora
  1138. [19:26] <Balthazaar> Muora frowns. "You calling me stupid?"
  1139. [19:27] <ShotgunFiend> It wouldn't be the first time somewhere here has!
  1140. [19:27] <DiePotato> "I don't think I said that. Unless I'm talking to myself again."
  1141. [19:28] <DiePotato> Helia takes a couple steps back in order to see Muora fully without bending too far back. Being a foot and a half tall isn't fun
  1142. [19:29] <Balthazaar> Muora frowns. She's tall, thin and covered in surgical scars and tattoos. "What are you?"
  1143. [19:30] <DiePotato> "I know what I'm not. And that's the result of an extremely eager surgeon."

  1150. [19:42] <DiePotato> "Everyone here is a fool..."
  1151. [19:45] <Balthazaar> Muora goes to take the plant hostage in her cell
  1152. [19:45] <DiePotato> Helia looks like she's just out of shits to give
  1153. [19:45] <DiePotato> Which is weird because she's a plant
  1154. [19:45] <Balthazaar> Muora sulks in her bunk
  1155. [19:46] <LemurLord> An android lies deactivated against a wall. It's either charging or completely dead, it's hard to tell
  1156. [19:47] <DiePotato> Helia sighs and drags her bag of soil over to the feeding area noticing the android against the wall.
  1157. [19:47] <DiePotato> "Another goddamn bot...?"
  1158. [19:48] <DiePotato> She goes over to the thing. "You on?"
  1159. [19:48] <LemurLord> It responds by shooting a spark. It has power at least
  1160. [19:49] <DiePotato> Helia jumps (as well as a plant can) at the spark. "You've got some juice at least. Are you at least functioning?"
  1161. [19:51] <LemurLord> Nothing. The machine looks humanoid but is a menagerie of mismatched parts. It's head has two large, circular LEDs for eyes which are currently off
  1162. [19:53] <DiePotato> "Wake up bot." Helia kicks it with a woody stub
  1163. [19:54] <LemurLord> The android shudders violently, it's eyes flare a bright blue, "GAH, ABANDON SHIP, WOMEN AND ME FIRST,"
  1164. [19:54] <LemurLord> It just to its feet and stumbles to get its footing
  1165. [19:55] <LemurLord> *jumps
  1166. [19:55] <DiePotato> Helia jumps back. "JESUS."
  1167. [19:55] <LemurLord> The android looks around, "Hello?"
  1168. [19:56] <DiePotato> Helia makes a sound that sounds like a constant low note. "Uggghhh." She taps its leg. "Down here bot."
  1169. [19:58] <LemurLord> Its neck audible grinds and jitters as it lowers its gaze, "Oh hello, sir or madam... or other"
  1170. [19:59] <DiePotato> "It's Madame bot." Helia sounds irritated
  1171. [20:00] <LemurLord> "Okay, it's nice to meet you, Madam Bot. I had a cousin named Bot. Ooooooh you could be related!!!"
  1172. [20:01] <DiePotato> "...Are you malfunctioning bot?"
  1173. [20:02] <LemurLord> "No my name's Outo! Outo Forder!" He points to his chest where someone had spray painted OUT OF ORDER in faded black
  1174. [20:02] <LemurLord> "See, in case I forget. Which is often"
  1175. [20:03] <DiePotato> "...How are you still functioning?"
  1176. [20:04] <LemurLord> There is a slight twitch in his head as he thinks this over. "I'unno," he shrugs
  1177. [20:06] <Balthazaar> Muora feels bad and brings the plant back to Helia
  1178. [20:07] <DiePotato> "Even though you aren't organic I'd love to get someone to break you down. I'm curious how you are still working." Helia turns to Muora. "Yes pincushion?"
  1179. [20:08] <Balthazaar> "Don't call me that."
  1180. [20:09] <LemurLord> Outo's head tilts up to look at Muora, some bolts drop off from his neck, "Greetings new person!"
  1181. [20:09] <DiePotato> "Okay woman. Now what do you want?"
  1182. [20:09] <Balthazaar> "I /was/ giving you back your plant."
  1183. [20:11] <DiePotato> "I'll happily take it back. Unless your utter disdain for me from our only encounter has made it so that you hate me."
  1184. [20:11] <DiePotato> "I don't much care either way."
  1185. [20:12] <Balthazaar> She holds out the pot plant
  1186. [20:13] <DiePotato> Helia takes the small plant with her vines. They coil around it so she's basically hugging the plant. "Thank you tattoos."
  1187. [20:14] <Balthazaar> She smiles. "That's better."
  1188. [20:14] <LemurLord> "Wait. Wait-wait-wait-wait. So what is its name?? Pincushion or tattoos?"
  1189. [20:15] <Balthazaar> "First of all, robot, I'm a /she/, and second, My name is Muora."
  1190.  
  1191. [20:15] <DiePotato> "Bot is short couple lines of code so to speak."

  1206. [20:22] <LemurLord> Outo pulls out a crumpled note, "I'm gonna help you guys!"
  1207. [20:22] <DiePotato> "I'm here for foolish reasons." Helia turns her back to the two.
  1208. [20:25] <DiePotato> "Think I performed 'unethical' experiments."
  1209. [20:26] <LemurLord> "I don't even know where here is to be honest. I assumed it was some kind of laundromat"
  1210. [20:27] <DiePotato> Helia notices she's still clutching the plant and sets it down
  1211. [20:29] <Balthazaar> "... What kind of experiments?"
  1212. [20:29] <DiePotato> "..." Helia turns back around and looks Muora up and down once more.
  1213. [20:31] <DiePotato> Can Helia roll Medical to try to get a guess on what kind of surgety Muoras had?
  1214. [20:31] <DiePotato> *suregery

  1219. [20:32] <Balthazaar> She's had her joints mechanically strengthened, and her muscles were definitely tampered with in some way
  1220. [20:33] <Balthazaar> Something extra has been implanted in her left forearm
  1221. [20:33] <Balthazaar> And it looks like these were all done multiple times

  1226. [20:37] <DiePotato> "Although I would enjoy in obtaining some scans of you. You are not as modified as other person here, but I'm still curious." Helia picks the plant back up walking over to feeding area
  1227. [20:37] <Balthazaar> "Do I /look/ like fuckin' robot? I'm all woman."

  1246. 01[20:47] <Roosevelt> <<Unit 'Various', I think the less you say the better, son.>>
  1247. [20:48] <DiePotato> "So box is right? We're waiting for this ship?"
  1248. 01[20:49] <Roosevelt> <<And yeah, you're in a Waiting Room. You sleep in the Examination Rooms. And I'm up here, in the Control Office. I'd ask you all to step into the Central Room and have a seat in the chair, but I can't seem to find it at the moment.>>
  1249. 01[20:49] <Roosevelt> <<I'll have to ask the Nurse when she comes back.>>
  1250. [20:50] <Nemi> "And no complimentary magazines! For shame." The little cobbled-together relay Muora kept crackles to life with Clarke's synthesized voice.
  1251. [20:50] <DiePotato> Helia makes an irritating high pitched keening. At first she thinks it's fucking with her. "Up yours AI no need to taunt me."
  1252. 01[20:50] <Roosevelt> <<I'm trying to find some. And some mints too.>>
  1253. [20:51] <DiePotato> ~Damn dentist... dentist...~
  1254. 01[20:51] <Roosevelt> <<Hey, no need to be aggressive, Ficus. I'm trying to do my job here.>>
  1255. [20:52] <Balthazaar> Muora waves to the Clarke relay
  1256. [20:52] <DiePotato> "Everything you say is going to be in relation to a dentists office isn't it..." Helia realizes
  1257. [20:53] <Nemi> "I'd wave, but I haven't managed to get the holo on this working again. Oh, D4V1D." How Clarke manages to pronounce the model number and yet make it sound conversational and name-y is a question for the ages. "Maybe some of those glucose-free lolipops."
  1258. 01[20:54] <Roosevelt> <<Toothbrushes as well.>>
  1259. [20:54] <Nemi> "With the little boxes of floss?"
  1260. [20:55] <Balthazaar> Muora looks confused. Again
  1261. 01[20:57] <Roosevelt> <<That too, Unit 'Unknown'.>>
  1262. [20:57] <LemurLord> Outo snaps back to reality, "A dentist? Maybe he could look at this..." He takes out his jaw and holds it up, "I hink I ot a avity riiiight ere," he points to one of the obviously fake teeth. Wait why is his speech impeded? He has a synthesizer
  1263. 01[20:59] <Roosevelt> <<Unit 'Various'; Please be quiet if it does not concern Human dentistry and or Orthodontics.>>
  1264. [21:00] <LemurLord> (oh outo is 'various' just got that)
  1265. [21:01] <Balthazaar> "Calvin threw out my toothbrush."
  1266. [21:01] <LemurLord> " 'at?" He snaps his jaw back in place, "Oh,"
  1267. 01[21:03] <Roosevelt> <<THREW OUT YOUR TOOTHBRUSH?>>
  1268. 01[21:03] <Roosevelt> <<WHY?>>
  1269. 01[21:03] <Roosevelt> <<WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT?>>
  1270. [21:04] <DiePotato> "And the dentist shows its face."
  1271. [21:05] <Balthazaar> "I... May have made it into a shiv..."
  1272. 01[21:05] <Roosevelt> <<THAT'S NO EXCUSE FOR LACK OF DENTAL HYGIENE>>
  1273. [21:06] <DiePotato> "You've crossed the wrong AI Tatoos." Helia says to Muora
  1274. 01[21:06] <Roosevelt> <<I'M GETTING THE NURSE.>>
  1275. [21:07] <Balthazaar> She raises an eyebrow. "It wasn't /my/ fault it got thrown away."
  1276. [21:07] <LemurLord> "The voice sounds pretty upset, I'd hate to be this Calvin guy"
  1277. 01[21:09] <Roosevelt> There's a mechanical whirring sound as the AI strains.
  1278. [21:13] <Nemi> The pinkish light in Muora's relay fades. Clarke has found something else to pay attention to, it seems.
  1279. [21:14] <DiePotato> "Well I'm off to rest. Night fellow prisoners."
  1280. [21:14] <Balthazaar> Muora looks disappointed, then worried. "Wait, nurse?"
  1281. [21:15] <DiePotato> Helia saunters off to her cell
  1282. 03[21:15] * DiePotato is now known as SlepPotato
  1283. [21:15] <LemurLord> Outo twitches then collapse on the floor
  1284. 02[21:16] * LemurLord (~LemurLord@synIRC-6978742E.cmdnnj.fios.verizon.net) Quit (Quit: The LemurLord giveth, the LemurLord taketh away)
  1285. 01[21:17] <Roosevelt> Somewhere else on site, a long defunct robot awakens. A few moments later, the door to the cell block opens, and out wheels the mechanical nurse. It's a robot obviously meant only vaguely to resemble a woman, and it holds an antiquated syringe gun. It's supported by a single wheel, and it rolls forward.
  1286. [21:18] <Balthazaar> Muora nervously takes a seat
  1287. 02[21:18] * TeslaTornado (Mibbit@synIRC-74389079.tvc-ip.com) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  1288. 02[21:20] * gumbal1 (gumb@l1.will.clear.my.sandbox.later) Quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
  1289. 01[21:22] <Roosevelt> The nurse wheels over to Muora, looking over her almost menacingly with bright blue eyes.
  1290. 01[21:23] <Roosevelt> <<Nurse! This woman has lost her toothbrush!>> The Nurse *beeps* in response, <<Just... do it.>>
  1291. 01[21:25] <Roosevelt> The Nurse's shift a deep scarlet, and she reaches into a compartment in her torso.
  1292. 01[21:26] <Roosevelt> Nurse's eyes*
  1293. [21:28] <Balthazaar> Muora backs up nervously
  1294. 01[21:31] <Roosevelt> The Nurse scrambles around in the compartment, eventually pulling out...
  1295. 01[21:31] <Roosevelt> ... a bright red toothbrush.
  1296. 01[21:31] <Roosevelt> She offers it to Muora.
  1297. [21:31] <Balthazaar> Muora sighs in relief, taking the toothbrush
  1298. [21:32] <Balthazaar> "... Hey AI, What happens if I say I'm not gonna use it?"
  1299. 01[21:32] <Roosevelt> <<Good. Now don't lose this one.>>
  1300. 01[21:33] <Roosevelt> <<That would be a silly thing to imply.>>
  1301. [21:33] <Balthazaar> "I wanna know."
  1302. [21:33] <Balthazaar> "Oooh, what if I were to drink this soft drink and not brush?" She's having fun
  1303. 01[21:33] <Roosevelt> <<Then I would be forced to use any means necessary to enforce safe dental hygene.>>
  1304. 01[21:34] <Roosevelt> The nurse picks up the soft drink can.
  1305. 01[21:34] <Roosevelt> And crushes it in it's metalic pincers.
  1306. [21:34] <Balthazaar> Muora grins and puts the toothbrush down on the table
  1307. 01[21:36] <Roosevelt> The Nurse looks at it, then looks back at her, then looks back at it. It gestures for her to pick it up.
  1308. [21:39] <Balthazaar> "Please, what are you gonna do?"
  1309. 01[21:39] <Roosevelt> It picks it up for her.
  1310. 01[21:39] <Roosevelt> And offers it to her.
  1311. [21:40] <Balthazaar> Muora smirks at the camera, enjoying herself. "I don't think I feel like brushing tonight."
  1312. 01[21:42] <Roosevelt> The nurse tucks the toothbrush back into her chest compartment.
  1313. 01[21:45] <Roosevelt> And retracts her hand, replacing it with what looks like an industrial toothbrush. It has three spinning heads with not-so-soft-looking bristles
  1314. 01[21:45] <Roosevelt> It whirs.
  1315. [21:45] <Balthazaar> "Anticlimactic... No, look, I just I don't feel like it..."
  1316. 01[21:46] <Roosevelt> The Nurse grabs at her throat with the other hand, locking her neck in the pincers.
  1317. [21:46] <Balthazaar> "Urk!"
  1318. 01[21:47] <Roosevelt> The spinning drill of dental health whirs ever closer to your mouth.
  1319. [21:48] <Nemi> "Oh. So that's /proactive/ dentistry. I do hope you're not going to bill her for that, I don't think prisoners have dental insurance." Clarke's voice comes from Muora's relay.
  1320. 01[21:49] <Roosevelt> <<I don't charge for the first cleaning.>>
  1321. 01[21:50] <Roosevelt> The drill eventually finds it's way into Muora's mouth, forcibly clensing all filth within.
  1322. [21:50] <Nemi> "And the experience serves as incentive for her to brush on her own, lest that happen again! Brilliant!"
  1323. [21:51] <Balthazaar> Muora struggles. "Mmmmmph! Mrrrrrp mph mmmmmmph!"
  1324. [21:52] <Nemi> "Times like this I am glad I only have academic knowledge of what pain feels like."
  1325. [21:52] <Nemi> ".. I'll get back to you when you're not flailing." The relay powrs down.
  1326. 01[21:52] <Roosevelt> <<Now make sure you get under the tounge... good, the back of the... yes, the upper row too."
  1327. 01[21:52] <Roosevelt> >>
  1328. 02[21:52] * Nemi (zareveh@Bees.Bees.Bees) Quit (Quit: )
  1329. [21:53] <Balthazaar> Muora eventually goes lip, resigned to what's happening and just sort of standing there with her mouth open
  1330. 01[21:54] <Roosevelt> Eventually, the Nurse retracts the drill.
  1331. [21:55] <Balthazaar> Muora rubs her mouth. "Ow..."
  1332. 01[21:55] <Roosevelt> She'll notice her teeth are shiny clean now!
  1333. 01[21:56] <Roosevelt> Her tounge as well!
  1334. 02[21:57] * ShotgunFiend (uid28291@synIRC-6E7521DD.charlton.irccloud.com) Quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
  1335. [22:01] <Balthazaar> She sits heavily, shocked and disoriented
  1336. 01[22:05] <Roosevelt> The Nurse, satisfied with her work, goes over to the corner and deactivates.
  1337. 01[22:05] <Roosevelt> <<Alright. Hope you learned something valuable today.>>
  1338. [22:06] <Balthazaar> Muora hugs her knees to her chest. "I thought you were my friend..."
  1339. 01[22:11] <Roosevelt> <<We are. But Dentistry comes first. I'm sorry.>>
  1340. [22:12] <Balthazaar> "Whatever..." She looks away dejectedly, slurring a little
  1341.  
  1342. [17:01] <Nemi> Clarke's core idles.
  1343. [17:02] <DiePotato> Helia is at the window casually sunbathing in a bag of soil
  1344. [17:02] <Prior> Descartes is lifting weights and thinking about robot parts.
  1345. [17:02] <JamJam66> Dave is sitting watching space go by.
  1346. [17:03] <Bunton> Calvin is recleaning everything.
  1347. [17:04] <Prior> "Anybody know where I could find some sheet metal?" Liiiift.
  1348. [17:04] <Bunton> *beep?*
  1349. [17:04] <JamJam66> "Not in this place, I imagine."
  1350. [17:05] <DiePotato> "Go get some at the local hardware store." Helia says from her bag
  1351. [17:05] <Prior> "Damn." Liiiift. "Looking to make some new panels for the droid."
  1352. 01[17:05] <~Daedalus|GM> The intercom crackles to life, <<ATTENTION, PRISONERS. PREPARE FOR TRANSFER.>>
  1353. [17:05] <JamJam66> "Oh, about time too!"
  1354. [17:05] <JamJam66> Dave stands up and looks around.
  1355. [17:05] <DiePotato> Helia quivers. "Greeaaat."
  1356. [17:06] <Nemi> Clarke's core sits there. What? It's not like it's going to grow legs and walk away.
  1357. 01[17:06] <~Daedalus|GM> <<PLACE YOUR HANDS, ANY SIMILAR LIMBS, AND OTHER PERHENSILE ORGANS AGAINST THE WALL.>>
  1358. [17:06] <Bunton> *!*
  1359. [17:06] <JamJam66> Dave does so.
  1360. [17:06] <Prior> Descartes replaces the weights. "What's this, do you guys think?" He of course complies.
  1361. [17:06] <Bunton> Calvin races into his cubbyhole to get his things.
  1362. [17:06] <Nemi> Clarke's core remains not putting limbs anywhere.
  1363. [17:06] <DiePotato> Helia gets out of her bag and complies
  1364. [17:06] <JamJam66> "Maybe we're finally heading to our new ship?"
  1365. 01[17:06] <~Daedalus|GM> <<MECHANICAL AND/OR ELECTRONIC CAPTIVES. POWER DOWN.>>
  1366. [17:07] <Nemi> The low hum emitted by Clarke's core ceases.
  1367. [17:07] <ShotgunFiend> Sam spreads em against the wall outside of his cell.
  1368. [17:07] <DiePotato> "From what I recall this ship is not new."
  1369. [17:07] <JamJam66> "It's new to us."
  1370. [17:07] <Prior> "That would be ni- what?" He turns to Dave, still following orders. "That include you?"
  1371. [17:07] <JamJam66> "No, I am very much alive. Just in a suit."
  1372. [17:08] <Bunton> Calvin rolls out of his cubbyhole and rolls up next to Dave. *beep?*
  1373. [17:08] <Prior> "I'm aware. Just don't want the angry one seeing things differently."
  1374. [17:08] <JamJam66> "Who?"
  1375. [17:08] <DiePotato> "Who?"
  1376. [17:08] <JamJam66> 4df+5 Eng What was that Calvin?
  1377. [17:08] <Glacon> JamJam66: Eng What was that Calvin?: 3 (4df+5=4-, 4-, 3+, 4-)
  1378. [17:08] <Bunton> *beep*
  1379. [17:09] <JamJam66> 4df+5 Wat
  1380. [17:09] <Glacon> JamJam66: Wat: 7 (4df+5=4-, 3+, 3+, 3+)
  1381. [17:09] <Prior> "Shock baton? Angry glare? Beat seven shades of hell out of you?"
  1382. 01[17:09] <~Daedalus|GM> The blast door at the end of the block slides open, after the light above it buzzes red. Six guards enter quickly.
  1383. [17:09] <JamJam66> "Oh, that one?"
  1384. [17:09] <JamJam66> "He only beat the suit."
  1385. [17:09] <Bunton> *I'll try and keep him from hurting you this time.*
  1386. [17:09] <Bunton> *No promises.*
  1387. [17:09] <Bunton> To Dave.
  1388. 01[17:09] <~Daedalus|GM> They pat you down!
  1389. [17:09] <JamJam66> "Thank you, Calvin."
  1390. 01[17:10] <~Daedalus|GM> While the other four keep an eye out.
  1391. [17:10] <Prior> "Shush."
  1392. [17:10] <DiePotato> "Buy me dinner first." Helia says to the guard grudgingly
  1393. 01[17:10] <~Daedalus|GM> "Quiet."
  1394. [17:11] <DiePotato> "Mmmm." That Mmmm is just a series of low notes that seems to shake her slightly
  1395. 01[17:12] <~Daedalus|GM> Next, they attach the oh-so-high-tech adjustable handcuffs to your hands and other prehensile organs.
  1396. [17:12] <Prior> ~So, why would they power down the droids...~
  1397. [17:13] <Bunton> Calvin watches, wheeling back and forth idly.
  1398. [17:13] <Prior> Descartes presents his hands for cuffing.
  1399. 01[17:13] <~Daedalus|GM> Descartes is cuffed! They all are with the exception of the robots.
  1400. [17:13] <JamJam66> Dave is cuffed.
  1401. [17:14] <ShotgunFiend> Sam lets himself be cuffed. It's a bit of a pointless effort for the guards, but he doesn't object.
  1402. 01[17:14] <~Daedalus|GM> "Unit CLVN! Collect your equipment!" One of them orders to him.
  1403. [17:14] <Bunton> Calvin jumps, and races back to his cubbyhole.
  1404. [17:15] <DiePotato> Helia just let's herself be cuffed. Like she could do anything uncuffed
  1405. [17:17] <Bunton> Calvin comes out with a trolley containing a plastic tank, tubes, a mop, cleaning clothes and bottles of cleaning fluid.
  1406. 01[17:18] <~Daedalus|GM> "ROLL CALL. For Transfer: One Terran. One Android. One Personal Cleaning Robot. One AI. One Floran. One Blackplague." He counts you all.
  1407. [17:19] <ShotgunFiend> Sam idly wonders if he's being counted as the Terran or Android.
  1408. [17:19] <Prior> ~Ooh, mixing racisms. Nice.~
  1409. [17:20] <JamJam66> "You forgot the Jovian."
  1410. [17:20] <Bunton> *beep*
  1411. [17:20] <DiePotato> ~Wow they didn't call me a ficus~
  1412. 01[17:21] <~Daedalus|GM> "Continuing." He frowns, "One Cyborg. One Jovian."
  1413. [17:22] <JamJam66> "Better."
  1414. [17:22] <ShotgunFiend> ~Aha. That must be me.~
  1415. 01[17:22] <~Daedalus|GM> "Quiet."
  1416. 01[17:22] <~Daedalus|GM> "Single file!" He orders.
  1417. [17:22] <Prior> Descartes steps into line.
  1418. [17:23] <DiePotato> Helia files in slowly
  1419. 01[17:23] <~Daedalus|GM> They stop Descartes, "Hold it."
  1420. [17:23] <Nemi> Clarke's core is immobile, unless people pick it up and haul it onto a cart or something.
  1421. [17:23] <Prior> "Yes?"
  1422. [17:23] <Bunton> Calvin pulls his cleaning supplies along.
  1423. [17:23] <ShotgunFiend> Sam turns and gets into line, looking up at the ceiling.
  1424. 01[17:23] <~Daedalus|GM> Two more guards enter the room, with the biohazard containment unit they wheeled him in previously with.
  1425. 01[17:23] <~Daedalus|GM> "You're in there."
  1426. [17:23] <JamJam66> Dave steps into the line as well.
  1427. [17:24] <Prior> "Ah. Not surprising."
  1428. [17:24] <Prior> He trundles in.
  1429. [17:24] <DiePotato> "As a medical professional I can assure you that's completely unnecessary." Helia chimes in
  1430. [17:24] <DiePotato> She keeps facing forward
  1431. 01[17:24] <~Daedalus|GM> They lock it behind him, "Quiet!" They order, for the third time.
  1432. [17:24] <Bunton> *beep*
  1433. 01[17:25] <~Daedalus|GM> They make sure everyone is in single file.
  1434. 03[17:25] * JamJam (~JamJam66@76461C19.7A7F7090.5FA74516.IP) has joined #AtlasOne-IC
  1435. [17:25] <ShotgunFiend> Sam is!
  1436. [17:25] <Prior> Descartes hums the song of storming sands to himself in the crate.
  1437. [17:25] <ShotgunFiend> He looks bored.
  1438. 01[17:26] <~Daedalus|GM> "Forward!" They order.
  1439. 02[17:26] * JamJam66 (~JamJam66@Join.the.Flying.Turtles) Quit (NickServ (GHOST command used by JamJam))
  1440. 03[17:26] * JamJam is now known as JamJam66
  1441. [17:26] <Bunton> Calvin is following on behind with his big yellow trolley full of supploes.
  1442. [17:26] <DiePotato> Helia files forward
  1443. 01[17:26] <~Daedalus|GM> They begin to march them through the blast door.
  1444. [17:26] <JamJam66> Dave marches.
  1445. [17:27] <Nemi> Clarke is presumably manhandled at some point. Doesn't really care, though, running physics simulations. ( http://i.imgur.com/bpGKSrm.gifv )
  1446. 01[17:28] <~Daedalus|GM> They trud through the hallway: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs10/i/2006/089/9/9/Military_Spacestation__Hallway_by_KnuxTE.jpg
  1447. [17:29] <Prior> ~doo doo doo dee dee doo doo...~
  1448. 01[17:29] <~Daedalus|GM> Eventually, the reach the maglift. "Everyone, center!"
  1449. 01[17:29] <~Daedalus|GM> they*
  1450. [17:29] <DiePotato> Helia hums music to herself quietly as she gets on the lift
  1451. [17:29] <JamJam66> ~Do they need to be so strict about this all?~
  1452. [17:29] <JamJam66> Dave gets in.
  1453. 01[17:30] <~Daedalus|GM> It's a large lift, and there's a yellow square.
  1454. [17:30] <Bunton> Calvin centres.
  1455. 01[17:30] <~Daedalus|GM> at the center.
  1456. [17:30] <ShotgunFiend> Sam sighs quietly. He walks into the square.
  1457. 01[17:30] <~Daedalus|GM> It has the word 'Prisoner' emblazoned in yellow.
  1458. [17:30] <JamJam66> Dave's in the yellow square.
  1459. [17:31] <DiePotato> Helia gets in said square
  1460. 01[17:31] <~Daedalus|GM> The guards form a hexagon around them, and one goes to the controls.
  1461. 01[17:33] <~Daedalus|GM> He presses a few buttons on the holopad, and the lift moves! In which direction, you're not exactly sure. <<TRANSIT TO: CELL BLOCK Z.>>
  1462. [17:33] <Bunton> Calvin starts cleaning the elevator.
  1463. 01[17:34] <~Daedalus|GM> The guards remain silent.
  1464. 01[17:34] <~Daedalus|GM> Minutes pass.
  1465. 01[17:34] <~Daedalus|GM> Starting to get kind of awkward actually.
  1466. [17:34] <JamJam66> Dave falls asleep.
  1467. 01[17:34] <~Daedalus|GM> One of them coughs.
  1468. [17:34] <DiePotato> Helia keeps humming
  1469. 01[17:34] <~Daedalus|GM> Another rocks on his heels.
  1470. [17:34] <Bunton> Calvin just cleans the walls anf floor.
  1471. [17:35] <Prior> ~doo dee... Wait, is it dee next?~
  1472. [17:36] <Prior> ~they must be loading things at the other end. Y'know, loading them into the ship.~
  1473. 01[17:36] <~Daedalus|GM> It's starting to get warmer in here, and the gravity becomes noticably different.
  1474. [17:37] <JamJam66> Dave's still asleep
  1475. [17:37] <Bunton> In which direction?
  1476. [17:37] <ShotgunFiend> Sam contemplates just shifting forms and breaking his cuffs to give everyone something to do.
  1477. [17:37] <Bunton> Stronger or weaker?
  1478. 01[17:38] <~Daedalus|GM> You don't know. Just... different.
  1479. [17:38] <DiePotato> Helia wonders why elevators here suck dick
  1480. 01[17:38] <~Daedalus|GM> Budget cuts, mostly.
  1481. 01[17:38] <~Daedalus|GM> BUT SHE WOULDN'T KNOW THAT
  1482. [17:38] <Nemi> Clarke would wonder why Helia is wondering about dicks, were Clarke psychic.
  1483. [17:38] <Bunton> Is it because we're going up in an elevator?
  1484. [17:38] <Bunton> :P
  1485. [17:38] <Bunton> Is that just the reason?
  1486. 01[17:39] <~Daedalus|GM> The elevator stops. <<CELL Z. CORE CONFINEMENT.>>
  1487. [17:39] <JamJam66> Dave's still asleep.
  1488. [17:39] <DiePotato> Helia is still humming
  1489. 01[17:39] <~Daedalus|GM> Well, apparently you're at the core of the asteroid now. Which, for those of you playing at home, is //not// where ships usually dock.
  1490. [17:39] <Prior> ~... We're going deeper into the prison?~
  1491. [17:40] <DiePotato> ~Are we going to be executed?~
  1492. [17:40] <ShotgunFiend> "Ahem... So... Where are we going?"
  1493. [17:40] <ShotgunFiend> Sam perks up.
  1494. [17:40] <Bunton> Calvin stops cleaning.
  1495. 01[17:41] <~Daedalus|GM> The doors open, and through the hallway you can see at least eight guards wheeling something towards the open elevator.
  1496. 01[17:41] <~Daedalus|GM> The walls of this hallway seem thicker.
  1497. [17:42] <JamJam66> Dave can't see that. He's sleeping.
  1498. [17:42] <DiePotato> Helia keeps humming. She can't see past the guards legs
  1499. [17:42] <Bunton> Calvin rolls up towards it.
  1500. 01[17:43] <~Daedalus|GM> They push Calvin away. The guards here are wearing different uniforms. Darker. They're also carrying actually //lethal// rifles.
  1501. [17:43] <Bunton> *beep!*
  1502. [17:43] <Bunton> Calvin reverses.
  1503. [17:44] <ShotgunFiend> "I don't know why I expected an answer." Sam sits down and crosses his legs.
  1504. [17:44] <DiePotato> Helia glances at the bot. ~There a problem?~
  1505. [17:44] <Bunton> *beep!*
  1506. 01[17:45] <~Daedalus|GM> They load the floating metal cage onto the elevator.
  1507. 01[17:46] <~Daedalus|GM> Onto the square with all of you.
  1508. [17:46] <Bunton> Calvin beeps in realisation!
  1509. [17:46] <Bunton> He beeps at Dave explaining what he thinks this is.
  1510. [17:47] <DiePotato> Helia gazes at the big box boredly. She edges away from it so it can fit.
  1511. [17:47] <JamJam66> Dave drifts awake. "Hmm?"
  1512. [17:47] <JamJam66> 4df+6 Eng
  1513. [17:47] <Glacon> JamJam66: Eng: 8 (4df+6=3+, 3+, 3+, 4-)
  1514. [17:47] <ShotgunFiend> Sam doesn't budge from his sitting position. He's more or less in the center of the square.
  1515. [17:47] <Bunton> You don't have to roll every time. :P
  1516. [17:47] <JamJam66> Oh okay.
  1517. [17:47] <Bunton> Calvin goes into the corner with his cleaning equipment.
  1518. [17:48] <JamJam66> "Oh, that makes sense, Calvin!"
  1519. [17:48] <JamJam66> Dave looks at the box
  1520. 01[17:48] <~Daedalus|GM> The metalic box doesn't budge.
  1521. 01[17:48] <~Daedalus|GM> It just... floats there.
  1522. [17:48] <Prior> Can Descartes hear the beeps?
  1523. [17:49] <JamJam66> "Calvin thinks the box is the core, for the AI of the ship!"
  1524. [17:49] <Prior> ~David?~
  1525. 01[17:50] <~Daedalus|GM> The Normal!Guards look a bit shaken at the introduction of the box, but they stand at attention. The Black!Guard don't look as shaken, and stand perfectly still.
  1526. 01[17:50] <~Daedalus|GM> A guard activates the lift again, and they're off!
  1527. 01[17:51] <~Daedalus|GM> It's awkward again.
  1528. [17:51] <Bunton> Calvin starts cleaning the walls again.
  1529. [17:51] <Bunton> He beeps the Tetris theme.
  1530. [17:51] <JamJam66> Dave turns to a Normal!Guard. "Is he right? What's the box?"
  1531. [17:51] <DiePotato> Helia keeps humming.
  1532. [17:52] <ShotgunFiend> Sam plays with his fingers. *pop* *pop* *pop*
  1533. 01[17:53] <~Daedalus|GM> "Quiet!"
  1534. [17:53] <JamJam66> "Ooh, sorry."
  1535. [17:53] <ShotgunFiend> *pop*
  1536. [17:56] <DiePotato> Helia hums quite beautifully. It's nice having a voice basically made for music
  1537. 01[17:57] <~Daedalus|GM> The elevator eventually buzzes to a stop, and the doors open.
  1538. 01[17:57] <~Daedalus|GM> Outside, you can see the hangar.
  1539. 01[17:57] <~Daedalus|GM> http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18x04a4g54jk3jpg/ku-xlarge.jpg
  1540. [17:57] <JamJam66> "Oh, here we are!"
  1541. 01[17:58] <~Daedalus|GM> It's filled with mostly prisoner shuttles taking off and landing, with a few security personnel loitering around.
  1542. [17:58] <ShotgunFiend> Sam looks up.
  1543. [17:58] <DiePotato> Helia tries to look around but again the guards bodies block her
  1544. [18:00] <ShotgunFiend> Sam picks Helia up and sits her on top of the gas jellyfish as he stands up.
  1545. [18:01] <DiePotato> "Wha!" Helia cries as she's picked up
  1546. [18:01] <ShotgunFiend> He doesn't say anything, just continues looking bored.
  1547. [18:01] <Bunton> Calvin rolls forward into the hangar.
  1548. [18:01] <DiePotato> "Oh...." She looks around finally.
  1549. 01[18:02] <~Daedalus|GM> They're all marched forward, the metal container and Descartes pushed behind.
  1550. [18:02] <Prior> Descartes continues humming.
  1551. [18:02] <JamJam66> Dave makes sure Helia doesn't fall off.
  1552. [18:03] <DiePotato> Helia goes where ever Dave goes
  1553. [18:03] <ShotgunFiend> Sam shuffles along.
  1554. 01[18:05] <~Daedalus|GM> You're all greeted by a large ship, (Larger than the shuttles, anyway) Docked with it's ramp down.
  1555. 01[18:06] <~Daedalus|GM> http://i.imgur.com/7B5iU1o.jpg
  1556. [18:06] <JamJam66> Dave looks up at the ship.
  1557. [18:07] <ShotgunFiend> "Oh, goodie. Is that ours?"
  1558. 01[18:07] <~Daedalus|GM> Written on the side in is 'Persepone-A22'. This ship is pretty old and weathered, as you can tell by the faded paint and the general dents and cracks in it's hull.
  1559. [18:07] <Bunton> Calvin examines how flifthy it is.
  1560. [18:07] <ShotgunFiend> "Oh, right. Quiet. I'm sorry."
  1561. [18:07] <Bunton> Oh my.
  1562. 01[18:07] <~Daedalus|GM> Calvin. It's filthy.
  1563. [18:08] <DiePotato> ~Nice ship~
  1564. [18:08] <JamJam66> "That's a heap of junk!"
  1565. [18:08] <Bunton> Calvin is /super pleased/.
  1566. [18:08] <JamJam66> "You need a better ship."
  1567. [18:08] <Bunton> *beep beep beep!*
  1568. [18:08] <Prior> Descartes peers from the viewport. ~I have been in worse.~
  1569. 01[18:09] <~Daedalus|GM> "Shut up."
  1570. [18:09] <Bunton> Calvin tries to roll on-board.
  1571. 01[18:09] <~Daedalus|GM> They move them forward, towards the ramp.
  1572. [18:09] <DiePotato> Helia's stopped humming
  1573. [18:09] <JamJam66> "Calvin, it looks ready to fall apart at any time."
  1574. [18:09] <Nemi> Clarke remains blissfully unaware of moving about. [ https://youtu.be/5yrKecW8JJ8 ]
  1575. [18:09] <ShotgunFiend> "Can I fly it?"

  1577. [18:09] <ShotgunFiend> "Promise I'll go where we're supposed to go."
  1578. [18:10] <JamJam66> Dave remebers he has a shrub on his head, and puts her down.
  1579. 01[18:10] <~Daedalus|GM> A few people are standing there, on the ramp.
  1580. 01[18:10] <~Daedalus|GM> Probably the people who fly it.
  1581. [18:10] <DiePotato> Helia is set down and walks herself along
  1582. [18:10] <ShotgunFiend> "Bet you I can do it better than them."
  1583. 01[18:10] <~Daedalus|GM> "Quiet." Is their only response as you're shoved along.
  1584. [18:10] <Bunton> Calvin rolls up to the people on the ramp.
  1585. [18:10] <Bunton> He salutes.
  1586. [18:10] <Bunton> *Beep beep beep!*
  1587. 01[18:10] <~Daedalus|GM> Pause for Desc
  1588. [18:11] <ShotgunFiend> "One track mind, eh?" Sam allows the shoving.

  1590. 03[18:11] * TeslaTornado (Tesla@My.Big.Johnson) has joined #AtlasOne-IC
  1591. 01[18:13] <~Daedalus|GM> There's three beings standing there, all of them with... expectant(?) looks on thier faces(?). The first one, on the left, is a ribbony alien that appears to lack certain facial features. It's got some machinery banded around it's head (?) Presumably to help it breathe: http://imgur.com/uaIsbPv
  1592. 01[18:16] <~Daedalus|GM> The second is presumably human. It's difficult to tell as it's wearing thick clothing and armor, and is very large. Larger than a normal human probably would be: http://i.imgur.com/QOzOB4G.jpg
  1593. [18:16] <Nemi> Could be a bio-modded Terran. Not unknown!
  1594. 01[18:17] <~Daedalus|GM> Finally, the one at the center is a taller being (about 8 feet), standing with four arms, two of them crossed, two of them clasped behind it's back. It's got a judging look on it's face, though you might extrapolate it always looks like that: http://i.imgur.com/1DGF73w.jpg
  1595. 01[18:17] <~Daedalus|GM> Unpause.
  1596. 01[18:18] <~Daedalus|GM> The last one speaks through it's rebreather. "Good evening."
  1597. [18:18] <JamJam66> "Hello."
  1598. [18:18] <Bunton> *beep!*
  1599. [18:18] <ShotgunFiend> "You should teach your guards some new words besides, "Quiet."" Sam sniffs.
  1600. [18:19] <DiePotato> "I hope this place looks better on the inside."
  1601. 01[18:19] <~Daedalus|GM> He looks down at you all. Mostly because of his height. "You must be the prisoners."
  1602. [18:19] <JamJam66> "What a deduction!"
  1603. 02[18:19] * ShotgunFiendM (~Brokowski@462C8AEB.9054F670.9A41C4FA.IP) Quit (Ping timeout: 184 seconds)
  1604. [18:20] <Prior> ~Did the cuffs and containers give it away?~
  1605. 01[18:20] <~Daedalus|GM> He looks over at Dave, "Thank you." he responds, humorlessly. Then turns to the rest, "Everyone, please step aboard."
  1606. [18:21] <DiePotato> Helia does so!
  1607. [18:21] <Bunton> Calvin rolls aboard the ship eagerly!
  1608. [18:21] <JamJam66> Dave steps aboard.!
  1609. [18:21] <ShotgunFiend> Sam ambles on.
  1610. [18:21] <Nemi> Clarke idly wonders, amidst watching a simulated flying galleon shake itself apart, which of the prisoners was the first to start sassing the first person they meet.
  1611. 01[18:21] <~Daedalus|GM> Descartes is rolled aboard by the Beefy!Being
  1612. [18:21] <Prior> Descartes does absolutely nothing.
  1613. [18:22] <Bunton> Calvin beeps at Descartes explaining what's going on outside.
  1614. 01[18:22] <~Daedalus|GM> The Mystery!Crate is pushed aboard by Ribbon!Alien
  1615. [18:22] <Bunton> As both roll in.
  1616. [18:22] <Prior> "Little one, you are fully aware I cannot understand your speech without seeing you, yes?"
  1617. 01[18:23] <~Daedalus|GM> The tall alien has a few words with the guards as you're all put in the cargo hold.
  1618. 01[18:23] <~Daedalus|GM> There's a few chairs there.
  1619. [18:23] <Bunton> I thought the containment unit had a glass screen
  1620. 01[18:23] <~Daedalus|GM> It does!
  1621. [18:23] <Prior> "Well isn't this cheerful as all get out?"
  1622. [18:23] <Bunton> Take that Prior!
  1623. [18:24] <Prior> (Redact previous statement, replace with nonspecific thanks)
  1624. [18:24] <Bunton> Although I guess that means Descartes doesn't need to be told anyway, but w/e.
  1625. [18:24] <Bunton> Calvin is excited!
  1626. [18:24] <DiePotato> Helia just stares at the chairs. "Yeah like I'm getting in one of those."
  1627. 01[18:24] <~Daedalus|GM> <<NOT UNTIL WE GET INTO SPACE.>> The Beefy!Being intones deeply.
  1628. [18:24] <DiePotato> Helia's binded a bit too well to climb into a chair
  1629. 01[18:24] <~Daedalus|GM> The handcuffs aren't removed.
  1630. [18:25] <JamJam66> Dave sits down.
  1631. [18:25] <JamJam66> "What a beautiful ship!"
  1632. 01[18:25] <~Daedalus|GM> Ribbon!Alien makes sure everyone's comfortable.
  1633. [18:25] <DiePotato> Helia just stands by a chair. She won't humiliate herself trying to climb into one
  1634. 01[18:25] <~Daedalus|GM> It glows a variety of different colors.
  1635. [18:25] <Prior> "So... You all know who we are. Anybody up for a round of introductions?"
  1636. [18:25] <ShotgunFiend> Sam puts his foot between Helia's legs and lifts her up into a chair.
  1637. [18:26] <ShotgunFiend> He doesn't do it because it's nice, he does it because he knows it will either embarrass or humiliate her
  1638. [18:26] <Bunton> Calvin looks for somewhere to attach himself.
  1639. [18:26] <DiePotato> "Oh!" Helia's lifted into said chair. "Stop doing that!"
  1640. [18:26] <ShotgunFiend> Sam himself just sits lazily in a chair. "Eh." He shrugs.
  1641. 01[18:27] <~Daedalus|GM> <<MY NAME IS NELSON. I'M THE ARMORY SERGEANT ABOARD THE ATLAS.>> The voice is deep and sonorous.
  1642. [18:27] <Bunton> *beep!*
  1643. 01[18:28] <~Daedalus|GM> <<THAT'S LEVI. HE'S THE PILOT OF THE PERSEPHONE.>>
  1644. 01[18:29] <~Daedalus|GM> The being gestures to the ribbon alien, which is currently rubbing it's ribbon limbs all over Calvin.
  1645. [18:29] <Bunton> *beep?*
  1646. [18:29] <DiePotato> "He usually rub things?"
  1647. [18:30] <ShotgunFiend> "I suppose that's a 'no' then to me being allowed to pilot this transport."
  1648. 01[18:30] <~Daedalus|GM> <<YOU CAN ASK LEVI, BUT I DON'T THINK HE'D LET YOU.>>
  1649. 03[18:31] * LemurLord (~LemurLord@synIRC-6978742E.cmdnnj.fios.verizon.net) has joined #AtlasOne-IC
  1650. [18:31] <ShotgunFiend> Sam looks at Levi. "Can I fly the transport?"
  1651. 01[18:31] <~Daedalus|GM> Levi starts rubbing on Sam.
  1652. [18:31] <Prior> "Is that how he communicates? Or does he just enjoy face rubbing?"
  1653. [18:31] <ShotgunFiend> Sam reciprocates the face rubbing.
  1654. [18:32] <ShotgunFiend> He hopes it's not like space alien fucking.
  1655. [18:32] <ShotgunFiend> That would be weird.
  1656. [18:32] <DiePotato> Helia keeps watching the odd as fuck space rubbing
  1657. 01[18:32] <~Daedalus|GM> <<MEANS HE LIKES YOU, AND WANTS TO MATE IMMEDIATELY>>
  1658. [18:33] <Prior> "... Simply charming."
  1659. [18:33] <JamJam66> Dave shifts his chair back a few centimeters
  1660. 01[18:33] <~Daedalus|GM> Nelson begins to laugh boomingly, <<I'M JOKING, HE JUST LIKES YOU.>>
  1661. [18:34] <DiePotato> "Uh huh."
  1662. 01[18:34] <~Daedalus|GM> <<PLATONICALLY, OF COURSE>>
  1663. [18:34] <ShotgunFiend> Sam actually blinked a few times, breaking his neutral expression when Nelson said that. "Ah hm... Do you speak, Levi?"
  1664. [18:34] <Prior> "This sounds like it will go positively swimmingly. What about the tall fellow?"
  1665. [18:34] <Nemi> Clarke tires of physics, and while still running the sims resumes working on its novels.
  1666. 01[18:35] <~Daedalus|GM> <<THAT'S THE OWNER OF THE PERSEPONE, AND THE ATLAS. HE'S FUNDING THIS WHOLE PROGRAM.>>
  1667. [18:36] <Prior> "Ah. Nice fellow then. Spending all this to help a few prisoners. Certainly not somebody we'd want to antagonise, eh Dave?"
  1668. 01[18:36] <~Daedalus|GM> The tall alien eventually boards, and closes the cargo hatch.
  1669. [18:36] <JamJam66> "Oh, no, why do you ask?"
  1670. [18:36] <ShotgunFiend> "So that's still a no to piloting?"
  1671. 01[18:36] <~Daedalus|GM> He looks over all of you, "No."
  1672. [18:37] <ShotgunFiend> "Mmn... Fine."
  1673. 01[18:37] <~Daedalus|GM> He crosses a set of arms, and puts the other set to his waist. "Everyone strap in."
  1674. [18:37] <JamJam66> Dave straps in.
  1675. [18:37] <ShotgunFiend> Sam already is!
  1676. [18:37] <DiePotato> Helia straps in
  1677. [18:37] <Bunton> Where does Calvin attach himself?
  1678. [18:37] <Bunton> Oh wait he has magnetic clamps, derp.
  1679. [18:37] <Prior> "Alright. Another question, though; since we're leaving prison property do I really have to stay in a biohazard unit?"
  1680. [18:37] <Bunton> Can he just magnet himself to the floor?
  1681. [18:37] <DiePotato> Straps aren't exactly fitted to well for a foot and a half being
  1682. [18:38] <Prior> "Because I'm not exactly strapped in here."
  1683. 01[18:38] <~Daedalus|GM> "Quartermaster, please remove that from it's containment."
  1684. [18:38] <Prior> "Ah, many thanks."
  1685. 01[18:38] <~Daedalus|GM> <<YESSIR.>> Nelson goes over and, with beefy fingers, releases Descartes.
  1686. [18:39] <Bunton> Calvin beeps at the owner.
  1687. [18:39] <Prior> "Thank you." Descartes uses one of the presumed abhuman restraints, similar to whatever Nelson uses.
  1688. 01[18:39] <~Daedalus|GM> The taller alien doesn't notice, and heads out the door to the bridge.
  1689. [18:40] <Bunton> Wow.
  1690. 01[18:40] <~Daedalus|GM> Levi goes with him, waving at Calvin.
  1691. [18:40] <Bunton> Calvin magnetic clamps himself to the floor I guess.
  1692. [18:40] <Bunton> Oh! Calvin waves back!
  1693. 01[18:40] <~Daedalus|GM> Noodley arms.
  1694. 01[18:41] <~Daedalus|GM> The quartermaster locks itself in with magboots.
  1695. [18:41] <Prior> "Well. Certainly been in worse ships than this. What's this then, a 558-Remora?"
  1696. 01[18:41] <~Daedalus|GM> There's a view out the window.
  1697. 01[18:41] <~Daedalus|GM> <<I DUNNO. MAYBE.>>
  1698. [18:41] <Bunton> *beep*
  1699. 01[18:42] <~Daedalus|GM> The ship soon heads out the bay entrance.
  1700. [18:42] <Prior> "Welp, if it is, this should be somewhat smooth..."
  1701. 01[18:42] <~Daedalus|GM> And you're in space!
  1702. [18:42] <Bunton> Wow, that /was/ smooth!
  1703. [18:42] <Bunton> (The doors didn't even close!)
  1704. [18:43] <JamJam66> "Finally, free of that Prison."
  1705. 01[18:43] <~Daedalus|GM> ('the tall alien eventually boards, and closes the cargo hatch')
  1706. [18:44] <Prior> "Finally leaving god damned Deimos..."
  1707. [18:44] <DiePotato> "Hopefully where we're going has better quality soil..."
  1708. 01[18:44] <~Daedalus|GM> The red planet looms in the background, as the asteroid becomes smaller and smaller...
  1709. [18:46] <ShotgunFiend> Sam stretches and yawns.
  1710. [18:47] <DiePotato> Helia starts humming again
  1711. [18:47] <JamJam66> And Dave falls asleep. Again. Wow Dave.
  1712. 01[18:47] <~Daedalus|GM> <<We're going to Jump now.>> The Owner intones over the intercom, <<Please stay seated.>>
  1713. [18:47] <Prior> "On the other hand if we're going to mars I may need to start lying about my race a lot. Or just slit my throat now and speed the job up..."
  1714. [18:48] <Bunton> *beep?*
  1715. 01[18:48] <~Daedalus|GM> <<Three... Two... One...>> The view outside the window streaks white.
  1716. [18:49] <DiePotato> "Don-" Helia shuts up immediately and freezes
  1717. 01[18:49] <~Daedalus|GM> As the Drive activates.
  1718. 01[18:50] <~Daedalus|GM> Anything not secured floats up.
  1719. 01[18:51] <~Daedalus|GM> And everyone with a stomach feels it churn.
  1720. [18:51] <Nemi> Clarke's feelin' dandy.
  1721. [18:52] <DiePotato> Helia drifts slightly up against her restraints. They aren't tightened enough for her
  1722. [18:52] <Bunton> Calvin's fine.
  1723. [18:52] <ShotgunFiend> "Having trouble keeping yourself down, there...?"
  1724. [18:52] <Bunton> He's wobbling a bit as he stands but has magnet clamps are doing their job.
  1725. [18:52] <DiePotato> Helia isn't responding and is mildly quivering
  1726. 01[18:52] <~Daedalus|GM> The view outside the window is pure white.
  1727. [18:53] <ShotgunFiend> Sam has experienced this way too many times for it to bother him over much
  1728. [18:53] <Prior> "So. We're jumping. Wonder where to..."
  1729. 01[18:54] <~Daedalus|GM> <<Arriving at Jump destination in three... two... One...>>
  1730. 01[18:55] <~Daedalus|GM> There's another flash of light from out the viewing port as the ship breaks warp.
  1731. [18:55] <Prior> "Can't have been too far then..."
  1732. 01[18:56] <~Daedalus|GM> Everyone who's been to star systems near Earth will recognize the space station currently coming into view.
  1733. [18:57] <DiePotato> When the warp breaks Helia stops quivering. "Where. Where are we?"
  1734. [18:57] <ShotgunFiend> Sam haaaaas.
  1735. [18:57] <Prior> So has descartes.
  1736. 01[18:57] <~Daedalus|GM> This is the Andromeda, a Terran station/colony. The nearly self-sufficient hub in this sector.
  1737. 01[18:58] <~Daedalus|GM> Named for the star it orbits.
  1738. [18:58] <ShotgunFiend> "Andromeda, hm...? Fancy."
  1739. 01[19:01] <~Daedalus|GM> Out the other window, a massive ship comes into view.
  1740. [19:01] <Prior> "My mistake. Interstellar jump. And this isn't a bad station to work from."
  1741. 01[19:01] <~Daedalus|GM> http://i.imgur.com/cNXTXZ3.jpg
  1742. [19:01] <Bunton> Aaaaaahhh.
  1743. [19:01] <Prior> "Now THAT is a ship."
  1744. [19:01] <DiePotato> "Hm. Looks... roomy."
  1745. 01[19:01] <~Daedalus|GM> Ugly and old, it has the name 'ATL-S ON-' written in faded letters on the side.
  1746. [19:02] <Bunton> Is it as dirty as this ship?
  1747. 01[19:02] <~Daedalus|GM> Even dirtier.
  1748. [19:02] <ShotgunFiend> "Eh... It's better than some of the hunks of junk that I've piloted in the past... Seriously, you ever heard of the Galactic Mini-van? No, I hadn't either until I had to use one. It sounds like a bad joke... It was."
  1749. [19:03] <Bunton> :D
  1750. [19:03] <Bunton> Calvin fantasises about cleaning it.
  1751. [19:04] <DiePotato> Helia is eager to not be on this ship and on the larger one. "Hopefully that has a medical bay
  1752. [19:04] <DiePotato> "
  1753. [19:04] <Prior> "That thing's basically an antique. Getting on for four hundred years old, if it's... Yeah, a Mercedes-Jonah Frigate. Or something like one at least."
  1754. [19:04] <Bunton> *beep beep beep!*
  1755. [19:05] <Bunton> Calvin unclamps his feet and races up to the window.
  1756. 01[19:05] <~Daedalus|GM> The ship opens up it's rear port, allowing the Persephone to dock.
  1757. 01[19:05] <~Daedalus|GM> It's //just// small enough to fit in the cargo bay.
  1758. 01[19:06] <~Daedalus|GM> The ship docks, and the Atlas' rear door closes.
  1759. [19:07] <ShotgunFiend> "I wonder what we're going to be doing on the Atlas."
  1760. 01[19:07] <~Daedalus|GM> Nelson stands, and unlocks your hundcuffs.
  1761. 01[19:07] <~Daedalus|GM> hand*
  1762. 01[19:07] <~Daedalus|GM> The tall alien comes down and opens the cargo hatch.
  1763. [19:07] <Prior> "Work- thanks. Working I suppose. What did you do before?@
  1764. 01[19:07] <~Daedalus|GM> The cold air seeps in.
  1765. [19:07] <Prior> *"
  1766. [19:08] <ShotgunFiend> Sam clenches and unclenches his hands. "Ahh..."
  1767. [19:08] <Bunton> Calvin races out and takes in the cargo bay!
  1768. [19:08] <DiePotato> Helia rubs her vines against each other
  1769. [19:08] <Prior> Descartes scuttles after him. "Domus Dulce Domus."
  1770. [19:09] <Bunton> How dirty is the cargo bay?
  1771. [19:09] <Prior> His grin is wide enough to be properly disconcerting at this point.
  1772. [19:09] <Bunton> Oh and Calvin's had his trolley of cleaning supplies with him the whole time.
  1773. 01[19:09] <~Daedalus|GM> Looks like they haven't cleaned in three years
  1774. [19:10] <Bunton> Calvin starts cleaning IMMEDIATELY
  1775. [19:10] <DiePotato> She then unbuckes her restraints and hops down from the chair
  1776. [19:10] <Bunton> Let's start with a good mop. Is the artificial gravity on?
  1777. [19:10] <ShotgunFiend> "I see you can get down all on your own." Sam stands up.
  1778. [19:10] <Nemi> Clarke is just waiting for the 'we're liiiiive' signal.
  1779. 01[19:11] <~Daedalus|GM> Yep
  1780. [19:11] <Prior> "A ship! We're on a ship! With a drive and a hangar and oh GOD how I've missed this."
  1781. [19:11] <DiePotato> "Yeah. Thanks for helping me before." Helia responds with hollow cheer
  1782. [19:11] <ShotgunFiend> "Mhm."
  1783. [19:11] <Bunton> Calvin is mopping.
  1784. 01[19:11] <~Daedalus|GM> Out there to greet you is the Captain, in her unbuttoned uniform, Danvers, still in his armor, and one of Clarke's relay's
  1785. 01[19:12] <~Daedalus|GM> Currently inactive.
  1786. [19:12] <DiePotato> "Now where's the damn medbay..." Helia growls musically stepping out of the tiny ship into the bigger ship
  1787. 01[19:12] <~Daedalus|GM> They went ahead and installed Clarke ahead of time.
  1788. 01[19:12] <~Daedalus|GM> His systems should be active....
  1789. 01[19:12] <~Daedalus|GM> Now.
  1790. 01[19:13] <~Daedalus|GM> "Welcome aboard!" The Captain says cheerily.
  1791. [19:13] <ShotgunFiend> Sam steps down the cargo ramp. Oh, cool, familiar faces.
  1792. 01[19:13] <~Daedalus|GM> "I hope you all had a pleasant trip."
  1793. [19:13] <Prior> Descartes salutes. He's kinda ecstatic right now. "Yes ma'am. Thankyou ma'am."
  1794. [19:14] <ShotgunFiend> "The cuffs were a little tight, but otherwise no complaints. Ah! Except well, perhaps teaching your lackies some new phrases, apart from 'Quiet'."
  1795. [19:14] <Bunton> Calvin isn't paying attention.
  1796. [19:14] <DiePotato> "I'm assuming you're going to give us a tour?" Helia asks
  1797. 01[19:14] <~Daedalus|GM> "A brief one."
  1798. [19:16] <Nemi> First things first. Worm into local systems, verify connections, determine operating system(s) and security measures, generally hooking up to the necessary systems and getting them operational. This is almost unconscious- at least Clarke doesn't have to think about it. One point three four seconds later, the relay beside Danvers and the Captain hums to life, displaying a (full size) hologram
  1799. [19:16] <Nemi> of Clarke's usual avatar. "Right, well, captain, verifying that all systems are operational..."
  1800. [19:16] <Bunton> *mop*
  1801. [19:17] <Prior> "And Clarke's here. Well if that doesn't top the day off I don't know what does."
  1802. 01[19:17] <~Daedalus|GM> All systems are nominal, Clarke. Engine 3 is experiencing some power fluctuation, but you can fix that by rerouting some power from Engine 2 to balance it.
  1803. [19:18] <Bunton> Or just turn all the engines off!
  1804. [19:18] <Bunton> Then they'll be perfectly uniform.
  1805. [19:18] <Bunton> The life support too. Some local anomalies in the cargo bay keep changing the air pressure.
  1806. [19:18] <Prior> This is why the cleaning robot isn't the one in charge. M
  1807. [19:18] <Bunton> Can't have that.
  1808. [19:18] <Nemi> Clarke does so. "Minor power fluctuations in the engines but I've got that in hand. So! This is Atlas One." The hologram turns from the captain to regard the crew, looking faintly amused. "Had a fun trip? Glad to see you out of cuffs."
  1809. 03[19:19] * Daedalus|GM is now known as Daedalus
  1810. [19:19] <Prior> "Glad to be out of cuffs. You mentioned engine problems?"
  1811. [19:19] <ShotgunFiend> Sam waggles his fingers. "Mhm."
  1812. 03[19:19] * Daedalus is now known as Daedalus|GM
  1813. [19:19] <DiePotato> "Thanks for the welcome..."
  1814. 01[19:20] <~Daedalus|GM> "If you'll all follow me to the bridge."
  1815. [19:20] <Bunton> Calvin stays behind to mop.
  1816. [19:20] <Nemi> "Figured I'd keep the captain updated. I'll likely only point out noteworthy anomalies. See you all at the bridge."
  1817. [19:20] <Nemi> The avatar blinks out.
  1818. [19:20] <DiePotato> Helia follows impatiently.
  1819. 01[19:21] <~Daedalus|GM> The Captain leads them to the maglift!
  1820. [19:21] <ShotgunFiend> "Wonderful. Tell me, do you have our stations or are we just red shirts?" Sam makes references that any non-terran is likely to completely miss.
  1821. [19:21] <Prior> Descartes follows. "Assuming you're using the engines the ship came with it'll be because the main limiters are frying with age. They burn through those pretty quickly."
  1822. 01[19:21] <~Daedalus|GM> It's rather small.
  1823. 01[19:21] <~Daedalus|GM> "Your assigned stations are detailed in the file in your rooms.
  1824. 01[19:21] <~Daedalus|GM> "
  1825. 01[19:22] <~Daedalus|GM> Danvers is noticably quiet. He eyes Dave when they drag him out, though.
  1826. [19:22] <ShotgunFiend> "Amazing." Sam seems content to be quiet now
  1827. [19:22] <DiePotato> "How extensively funded is this place?" Helia asks
  1828. [19:23] <DiePotato> She's going at a rather quick stride in order to keep up with the much taller people
  1829. 01[19:23] <~Daedalus|GM> She shuttles them all into the little room. "Oh... we get backing from Mr. Granges, the tall Grey Man you saw coming in."
  1830. 01[19:23] <~Daedalus|GM> Elevator*
  1831. [19:24] <DiePotato> "I didn't ask who funded this place."
  1832. 01[19:24] <~Daedalus|GM> Granges has apparently seen fit to occupy himself with speaking with the Quartermaster, and Ribbons is busy rubbing on Calvin.
  1833. 01[19:25] <~Daedalus|GM> *squeaking sounds ensue*
  1834. 01[19:26] <~Daedalus|GM> Danvers, meanwhile, is hauling out the mysterious thing that was on board with them.
  1835. 01[19:26] <~Daedalus|GM> The Captain presses the button for the bridge, and they're whooshed upwards!
  1836. [19:28] <Prior> *whoosh*
  1837. [19:28] <DiePotato> Helia is whooshed
  1838. 03[19:29] * Daedalus|GM changes topic to 'Deck A of the Atlas-One | Located here is the Bridge, the escape pods, the Armory, the Salvage Room, and the Captain's Personal Quarters | It's cold in here, and there's the faint buzz of electricity in the air'
  1839. 01[19:30] <~Daedalus|GM> You're all lead down the hallway to the bridge.
  1840. 01[19:30] <~Daedalus|GM> Wires hang from the ceiling, and some of the panels in the wall have not been put in their proper places.
  1841. 01[19:31] <~Daedalus|GM> Water drips from one place in the ceiling, and it's a cool 50 degrees Farenheight.
  1842. [19:31] <DiePotato> ~I see why the funding question wasn't answered with a number~
  1843. [19:31] <DiePotato> Helia shivers at the temperature
  1844. 01[19:31] <~Daedalus|GM> The Captain leads you all into the bridge: http://i.imgur.com/YWx8iMq.jpg
  1845. [19:31] <ShotgunFiend> Sam finds it extremely comfortable.
  1846. [19:32] <DiePotato> ~Damn cold~
  1847. [19:32] <Prior> Descartes doesn't notice. In the back of his mind he is vaguely aware of a Scottish man who saved him from his fears of the cold, but it passes.
  1848. [19:34] <Nemi> There's a soft hum and the neon reddish-pink holographic avatar of Clarke appears, just ahead of the elevated control platform. It lazily waves then clasps both hands before it.
  1849. [19:34] <gumbal1> Of course, the place is guarded. One such guard stands around in an off-white exosuit with an orange visor, carrying a firearm. Their fingers, which number at 14 alltogether, indicate this one is a swamplurker. They eye the group.
  1850. [19:35] <gumbal1> They begin signign something to the other guards.
  1851. [19:36] <gumbal1> [DO YOU KNOW WHO THESE ONES ARE?]
  1852. [19:36] <TeslaTornado> And the bridge consoles are also occupied. Or at least, one of them is, by a lanky Terran in a navy HISC jumpsuit. He leans forward slightly over the console ahead of him, focusing intently on the figures hurtling past on the screen.
  1853. 01[19:36] <~Daedalus|GM> If by other guards, you probably mean Danvers.
  1854. [19:36] <gumbal1> Indeed.
  1855. [19:36] <TeslaTornado> A rat's nest of wires and tubes connect to the back of his head.
  1856. 01[19:36] <~Daedalus|GM> He nods, and signs back, [PRISONERS]
  1857. [19:37] <Prior> Is this language widely spoken/understood?
  1858. [19:37] <gumbal1> [ANY TROUBLE FROM THEM SO FAR?]
  1859. 01[19:37] <~Daedalus|GM> It's sign language.
  1860. 01[19:37] <~Daedalus|GM> Like, with fingers.
  1861. [19:37] <gumbal1> It's Terran sign language, to be exact
  1862. 01[19:37] <~Daedalus|GM> [SOME WITH THE JOVIAN]
  1863. [19:37] <gumbal1> [THE SUITED ONE?]
  1864. 01[19:37] <~Daedalus|GM> [BUT THE OTHERS SEEM OKAY. I'D KEEP AN EYE ON THEM, THOUGH.]
  1865. 01[19:37] <~Daedalus|GM> [YES]
  1866. [19:38] <Nemi> Clarke quickly looks up Terran sign language in its archived memory but otherwise.. "And this is the bridge. Most of you should never actually be here and should definitely not be touching anything."
  1867. [19:38] <gumbal1> [THANK YOU.]
  1868. 01[19:39] <~Daedalus|GM> The Captain gestures to the others, "This is Ash, part of our security detail."
  1869. [19:39] <gumbal1> The swamplurker turns their head back toward the group, with particular attention payed to mister exosuit.
  1870. [19:39] <DiePotato> Helia disinterestedly looks at Ash. "Swamplurker... Hmmm..."
  1871. [19:40] <gumbal1> The ID on their suit shows their name as "Als-Ai Valys".
  1872. [19:40] <DiePotato> ~Did we have a couple of those at St. Theralds...?~
  1873. [19:40] <Prior> "A swamp lurker in plain sight. There's something you don't see every day." He peruses a diagnostic screen.
  1874. 01[19:41] <~Daedalus|GM> "And that man over there... the one pointedly ignoring you, that's Hayes."
  1875. [19:42] <TeslaTornado> The indicated man doesn't acknowledge his acknowledgment.
  1876. [19:42] <Nemi> "Well, Descartes," again with the incredibly precise pronunciation and that vaguely upper-class English accent, though not quite as warbly as from the temporary housing. "There's no swamp up here for it to lurk in. That's down in the galley."
  1877. [19:42] <Prior> "I'm aware. I'm aware." He's caught up in the screen.
  1878. [19:42] <gumbal1> Ash shifts their position slightly.
  1879. 01[19:43] <~Daedalus|GM> The screen displays their current position in the system.
  1880. 01[19:43] <~Daedalus|GM> It twitches and flickers, though.
  1881. [19:43] <TeslaTornado> Hayes doesn't move at all. He is perfectly still. He doesn't even blink.
  1882. [19:44] <Prior> Descartes brings up system diagnostics for the engines and hull integrity.
  1883. 01[19:44] <~Daedalus|GM> "He's our resident Astrogator."
  1884. 03[19:44] * Balthazaar (~chatzilla@synIRC-1831D268.lnse7.win.bigpond.net.au) has joined #AtlasOne-IC
  1885. 01[19:44] <~Daedalus|GM> Hull integrity reads %98
  1886. 01[19:44] <~Daedalus|GM> 98%
  1887. 01[19:44] <~Daedalus|GM> *
  1888. [19:44] <Prior> Provided the screen is small and not going to piss someone off.
  1889. [19:45] <DiePotato> "Interesting..." Helia walks a bit closer to Hayes. "Cranial augmentations?"
  1890. [19:45] <Nemi> "Translation, he figures out how the ship can get where it needs to be going. Very important task, which is why he's actually an HISC employee."
  1891. 01[19:45] <~Daedalus|GM> You're not allowed access to the engine statistics.
  1892. [19:45] <Prior> "That's above standards. Somebody's put effort into keeping this old girl shipshape."
  1893. [19:45] <TeslaTornado> Hayes doesn't move. His face is blank, his mouth a thin slit across his craggy features. His jumpsuit reads 'ROTHFORD'.
  1894. [19:47] <Nemi> "Being that he is also a Terran, and despite the neuroplasticity of the human nervous system, he has to.. rather focus on his work. Unlike, say, a more optimal Control unit, but it does ease the processing power load /quite/ a bit."
  1895. [19:47] <DiePotato> "
  1896. [19:48] <DiePotato> "Mmmm..."
  1897. [19:48] <Nemi> "I would strongly suggest not poking, prodding, shaking, kicking, or otherwise physically interacting with him while his central nervous system is plugged into the console."
  1898. [19:49] <Prior> Descartes make a note of all the breaches. "Because it could lead to a fracture dump into a cross hole. I don't think any of us will be messing with the pilot while he's meshed."
  1899. [19:49] <DiePotato> "That will come later..." Helia mumbles as she walks away
  1900. [19:49] <gumbal1> [PLEASE DO NOT.]
  1901. [19:50] <gumbal1> [I DO NOT BELIEVE HAYES LIKES TO BE DISTURBED].
  1902. [19:50] <DiePotato> ~So many modified Terrans...~
  1903. 01[19:51] <~Daedalus|GM> "Yeah, lets move on before one of ya accidentally warps us into Andromeda."
  1904. [19:51] <DiePotato> Helia notices the fact Ash is signing. "Sorry. Skipped my night classes on sign language. Plus lack of fingers." Helia wiggles her vines
  1905. 01[19:51] <~Daedalus|GM> Danvers comments.
  1906. [19:51] <TeslaTornado> The string of data onscreen stops, the cursor blinking on the monitor. Hayes' head twitches slightly to the right. He blinks, flexes his fingers, then gingerly turns away from the screen. "Yeah. Please leave."
  1907. [19:51] <TeslaTornado> "It's kinda difficult to keep us from hurtling into the event horizon of a black hole when you're all up here nagging."
  1908. [19:51] <Prior> "But of course. Let's leave the man to his work."
  1909. 01[19:51] <~Daedalus|GM> "So it does speak!
  1910. 01[19:51] <~Daedalus|GM> "
  1911. 01[19:51] <~Daedalus|GM> Danvers chuckles.
  1912. [19:52] <gumbal1> Ash examines the newcomers. Which one looks the strongest physically?
  1913. [19:52] <TeslaTornado> "It does in fact, Danny Boy." Hayes rubs his eyes with the heels of his palms. "Maybe you wanna take a crack at this? I'm sure that ground beef in your skull would keep up with this numbers game //swimmingly//."
  1914. 01[19:52] <~Daedalus|GM> Probably Ash.
  1915. [19:53] <Prior> Descartes, I would imagine since Sam is in neutral.
  1916. 01[19:53] <~Daedalus|GM> "Yeah, if you would take up my job and babysit the prisoners."
  1917. 01[19:53] <~Daedalus|GM> The Captain clasps her hands together, "Okay! Onto the Living deck."
  1918. [19:54] <gumbal1> Ash turns to Descartes. [MEET ME IN THE PIT SOME TIME. I'D LIKE TO SEE HOW OUR CURRENT BATCH HOLDS UP]
  1919. [19:54] <TeslaTornado> Hayes snorts. "Yeah, that'd work. The crew rioting would easily be balanced by your clumsy ass flying us into a sun."
  1920. [19:54] <Prior> "I'm sorry, I don't speak Terran sign. It was all semaphore on my old ships."
  1921. 01[19:54] <~Daedalus|GM> "She wants ta fight you."
  1922. [19:54] <TeslaTornado> He rubs the back of his hand on his mouth and looks over at Ash, letting out a yawn. "And Ash says to meet her in the fuckin' pit."
  1923. 01[19:54] <~Daedalus|GM> "In a nutshell."
  1924. [19:55] <TeslaTornado> "Scrublord."
  1925. [19:55] <Nemi> ".. Scrublord is a fantastic term and I hadn't heard that since I was processing some old twenty-first-century Terran communications logs." The hologram looks amazed.
  1926. [19:55] <DiePotato> Helia chuckles lightly. "I'm curious which of you would win."
  1927. [19:56] <Prior> "Oh, then I'd be delighted to. But I doubt I'd win, I'm no fighter without my weapons. You'd probably be more interested in Sam over there."
  1928. [19:56] <TeslaTornado> Hayes grunts.
  1929. [19:57] <Nemi> "Hm. The other biomodded Terran would likely make a good show of fighting as well."
  1930. [19:57] <TeslaTornado> "Here's a novel concept," he continues, resting his chin on one of his palms. "How about we wait until you're all anywhere but here to start beating the fuck out of each-other?"
  1931. [19:57] <TeslaTornado> "Better yet - how 'bout we don't fight each-other at all?"
  1932. [19:57] <DiePotato> "I'll get someone to treat either way..." Helia mumbles to herself. She's got a fixin' for applying medical treatment
  1933. [19:57] <gumbal1> [YOU RUIN EVERYTHING]
  1934. [19:57] <TeslaTornado> [IT'S MY JOB]
  1935. [19:58] <Nemi> Clarke gives Hayes a sideways look. "Given that in the Terran week I knew them there were multiple near fights as well as an uncomfortable and ill-advised attempt to escape into vaccuum... good luck getting them to stick to that."
  1936. [19:59] <TeslaTornado> "Then I'm trusting you to just suck them into space."
  1937. [19:59] <TeslaTornado> "Pref'rably sooner rather than later, yeah?"
  1938. 01[19:59] <~Daedalus|GM> The captain checks her Wrist HUD, and blinks, "Alright, you'll probably have to go on the rest of the tour yourself, folks. Danvers can show you where your rooms are. I've got to go."
  1939. [19:59] <DiePotato> +
  1940. 01[19:59] <~Daedalus|GM> She exits the bridge.
  1941. [20:00] <TeslaTornado> Hayes casts a mock salute Danvers' way as she exits.
  1942. [20:00] <Nemi> "I could likely quietly fill the local atmosphere with the contents of our helium storage. That'd quiet them down nicely in the event of a ruckus." Clarke is so /cheerful/ about it.
  1943. [20:00] <TeslaTornado> Hayes blinks a few times.
  1944. [20:01] <Prior> "Go for it, boxdroid." Descartes grins.
  1945. [20:01] <gumbal1> Ash signs a goodbye in Eron.
  1946. [20:01] <TeslaTornado> Hayes signs one back.
  1947. [20:02] <TeslaTornado> In common.
  1948. [20:02] <Balthazaar> "Who're we quieting down?" Muora struts in cheerfully
  1949. [20:02] <DiePotato> "Oh hey Tatoos" Helia says to Muora
  1950. [20:02] <DiePotato> "Want to come help me find the Med bay?" Helia starts towards the door
  1951. [20:03] <Prior> "Oh, it's the other Terran. I don't believe we've met."
  1952. [20:03] <Balthazaar> "Sure, don't have anything better to do."
  1953. [20:03] <Nemi> The avatar swivels from its position near the command platform. It's about life-size, now, instead of miniaturized or in bust form. It seems to be watching the other newcomers to the ship with mild curiosity.
  1954. 01[20:03] <~Daedalus|GM> Danvers coughs, "Righty then. Sure you can find your own rooms.
  1955. 01[20:03] <~Daedalus|GM> "
  1956. [20:03] <TeslaTornado> "Your job maybe?"
  1957. 01[20:03] <~Daedalus|GM> "I've got things to do." He exits.
  1958. [20:04] <Prior> "Until we read our dockets, we have no jobs."
  1959. [20:04] <TeslaTornado> "Keep the pressure off me so I don't have to taskmaster every single slot that wasn't filled up until we dragged you out of that backwater hellhole you should be a //teeny// bit more grateful to be out of?"
  1960. [20:04] <DiePotato> "So far I'm the only doctor that happens to be a prisoner. I can guess what my job is."
  1961. [20:04] <Balthazaar> Muora waves at Clarkes avatar with a smile
  1962. [20:05] <Prior> "And unless someone else feels like sucking vacuum while they work those drives, I can guess mine."
  1963. [20:05] <Nemi> "I'm not sure they've received their stations dock-- oh, you /did/ get it. Alright then! Would you kindly head on to your cabins?" The hologram is all smiles as it holds out a hand as if to present a three-dimensional map of the vessel. The cabins are pinged, as well as an animated arrow traveling from the bridge toward the quarters.
  1964. [20:05] <DiePotato> "Come Tats. I'm curious if they have any semi-recent imaging equipment." Helia leads the way out of the bridge
  1965. [20:06] <Prior> Descartes follows. "Ah, it's good to be home."
  1966. [20:06] <gumbal1> Ash eyes Muora.
  1967. [20:06] <gumbal1> [ARE YOU WITH THESE ONES?]
  1968. [20:06] <TeslaTornado> Hayes eyes the wall behind the prisoners.
  1969. [20:07] <gumbal1> They sign this in common this time.
  1970. [20:07] <DiePotato> Helia keeps going if anyone's following or not. Even though she has no idea where she's going.
  1971. [20:07] <Balthazaar> Muora nods to Ash. "I am. I was basically queen of the prison." She smirks, before following Helia
  1972. [20:08] <gumbal1> [DON'T GET USED TO IT]
  1973. [20:08] <Nemi> "Some people. I even highlighted the easiest route. Oh, well. I'll be sure to seal them out of anything important."
  1974. [20:10] <TeslaTornado> Hayes lets out a relieved sigh as the crew starts to vacate the bridge.
  1975. [20:10] <Nemi> "Well, I'll be. They actually reached their quarters without a detaur through waste disposal."
  1976. [20:10] <TeslaTornado> "They did?" Hayes takes a look at the projected map.
  1977. [20:11] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar shakes its head in amazement. There's a little green spot that apparently matches the other newcomers' position. It is, in fact, in the dorm hall.
  1978. [20:11] <TeslaTornado> "And you didn't take them through waste management?"
  1979. [20:11] <TeslaTornado> "Wasted opportunity."
  1980. [20:11] <gumbal1> [YOU ARE AN ODD ONE. WHAT BRAND MADE YOU?]
  1981. [20:13] <TeslaTornado> Hayes grunts again and goes back to the console.
  1982. [20:13] <Nemi> "One second, need to run that.. ah, okay. Ares Corporation, formerly superindendant of Tharsis Station prior to a minor political altercation." The avatar sets the map aside, where it seems to remain floating in the air, and bows. "Named Clarke, after the old-time stellar speculator and novelist, Sir Arthur C."
  1983. [20:14] <Nemi> Hayes receives a small neural ping from Clarke. 'My map /would/ have taken them through there.' Enough to register but not be disruptive to his calculations.
  1984. 03[20:15] * Daedalus|GM is now known as Daedalus
  1985. [20:15] <gumbal1> Ash nods and goes back to lookout duty.
  1986. [20:15] <TeslaTornado> There's a tiny sideways shake of Hayes' head as he starts to plug back into the console.
  1987. 03[20:15] * Bunton is now known as BuntSleeps
  1988. [20:16] <TeslaTornado> He softly hums Tipperary to himself until the console's calculations are blurring by at their usual accelerated rate, after which he lapses back into his trance state.
  1989. [20:17] <Nemi> "If I'm required, you can ping me on standard channels or call my use-name. I'm usually paying attention." The image bows again and blinks out.
  1990. [20:19] <ShotgunFiend> Sam is getting himself acquainted with the pilots seat, supposedly on the bridge.
  1991. [20:20] <ShotgunFiend> ~Note to self... Talk to Nelson about getting your inhibitor bracelet removed...~
  1992. [20:20] <TeslaTornado> It's presumably only a couple stations down from Hayes'.
  1993. 01[20:21] <~Daedalus> The pilot's seat is comfy.
  1994. 01[20:21] <~Daedalus> Though it leans to the left a little.
  1995. 03[20:22] * Prior is now known as Priorzzzz
  1996. 01[20:23] <~Daedalus> The Quartermaster holes himself up in the Salvage room.
  1997. 01[20:23] <~Daedalus> The Captain resigns to her quarters.
  1998. [20:24] <ShotgunFiend> Sam counters with a lean to the right. He's happy enough with it for the time being.
  1999. [20:27] <TeslaTornado> Data hurtles by on Hayes' console as he sits in his chair, watching it hurtle by him.
  2000. [20:32] <gumbal1> Ash continues their watch.
  2001. [20:33] <Nemi> Clarke is doin' thangs. Definitely not more physics simulations. Not at all.
  2002. 03[20:35] * Daedalus is now known as Daedalus|Out

  2007.  
  2008. 01[12:47] <~Daedalus> The Captain rests in her seat on the Bridge, reading some messages from high command.
  2009. [12:47] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram stands at the bridge, hands clasped.
  2010. [12:48] <ShotgunFiend> Sam recalls the holomap Clarke provided the previous 'night' and makes his way to the Salvage Room.
  2011. 01[12:49] <~Daedalus> There's a set of large blast doors at the entrance, and a little control panel to buzz yourself in.
  2012. [12:50] <ShotgunFiend> He presses the button. "Sam Carver here. Is Nelson in?"
  2013. 01[12:51] <~Daedalus> <<HELLO, YES. I AM IN. DO YOU NEED SOMETHING?>>
  2014. [12:53] <ShotgunFiend> "Yeah. I need my inhibitor bracelet from the prison removed."
  2015. 01[12:53] <~Daedalus> <<OH. OKAY. THAT'S COOL. COME IN.>>
  2016. 01[12:54] <~Daedalus> There's a loud buzzing sound as the doors *whoosh* open.
  2017. 01[12:54] <~Daedalus> A blast of heat hits your face.
  2018. [12:55] <ShotgunFiend> "Thanks..." Sam shields his face for a moment. He's been loving the constant chill of the ship. He doesn't deal well with the heat, but steps in regardless, lowering his arm.
  2019. 01[12:58] <~Daedalus> This room is rather large, and looks as if it was made for a being of Nelson's size. This place is filled with all sorts of junk and shiny things, worktables and smelters. Looks as if they also live in here too, judging by the large bed in one corner.
  2020. 01[13:00] <~Daedalus> The Quatermaster itself is sitting in the corner, working with a defunct drone on a workbench. <<HELLO.>>
  2021. [13:03] <ShotgunFiend> Sam gives a little wave. "Hello." He walks over.
  2022. 01[13:04] <~Daedalus> It's a whole 30 degrees hotter in here, from what you can tell. <<LET ME SEE THE BRACELET.>>
  2023. [13:05] <ShotgunFiend> Sam holds out his left arm. It's just in front of his implanted blaster weapon.
  2024. 01[13:07] <~Daedalus> Nelson begins to tinker with the bracelet, <<THEY DID NOT GIVE ME THE KEY FOR THIS.>> He works idly, his hands surprisingly dexterous despite their largeness.
  2025. 01[13:08] <~Daedalus> <<WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE IMPLANTS?>> It asks idly, as it messes with the wiring.
  2026. [13:08] <ShotgunFiend> "I didn't exactly have a chance to ask for one, sorry." Oh, wow. An actual apology. "That... Is not something I like to talk about. It wasn't my decision."
  2027. 01[13:09] <~Daedalus> <<I SEE.>> It continues working, <<I KNOW THAT FEELING, MR. CARVER.>>
  2028. [13:11] <ShotgunFiend> "Mmm? Is that right?"
  2029. [13:11] <ShotgunFiend> Sam does the equivalent of raising an eyebrow.
  2030. 01[13:13] <~Daedalus> <<YES. DID YOU THINK I WAS BORN THIS WAY?>> It says, with a bit of humor in it's voice, <<ANYWAY, IT'S NOT SOMETHING I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT EITHER.>>
  2031. [13:14] <ShotgunFiend> Sam nods. "I wasn't sure what to think of your origins, if I'm honest."
  2032. 01[13:16] <~Daedalus> <<LEVI SAYS I CARRY A "MYSTERIOUS" AURA AROUND WITH ME.>> It chuckles heartily, <<I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM.>> The bracelet snaps off, and falls onto the workbench.
  2033. [13:17] <ShotgunFiend> "Well you should... Not that it is a bad thing." He watches the bracelet fall off. "Ah!" Sam rubs the area where it was before.
  2034. 01[13:17] <~Daedalus> It picks up the two parts, <<DO YOU MIND IF I KEEP THIS?>>
  2035. 01[13:18] <~Daedalus> <<IT'S VERY INTERESTING>>
  2036. [13:18] <ShotgunFiend> "Consider it yours. The less I have to do with it, the better. Thank you, by the way."
  2037. 01[13:19] <~Daedalus> <<IF YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE, OR FIND ANYTHING INTERESTING LIKE THIS, DON'T HESITATE TO COME TO ME.>>
  2038. [13:20] <ShotgunFiend> Sam nods. "Sure thing. I'll be seeing you around then."
  2039. 01[13:20] <~Daedalus> <<DON'T BE A STRANGER!>> It booms.
  2040. [13:21] <ShotgunFiend> Sam chuckles softly. He's taken a liking to Nelson, it seems. "Will do." He gives another little wave and heads out of the Salvage room.
  2041.  
  2042. 01[10:37] <~Daedalus> The Captain sits on the bridge, boredly going through messages from command.
  2043. [10:39] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram is also on bridge, mostly in case the captain needs Clarke to do something in specific. Otherwise, just going through systems, assigning subprocesses as necessary, and generally making sure everything is working.
  2044. 01[10:40] <~Daedalus> "Clarke, have you ever been in love?"
  2045. 01[10:41] <~Daedalus> She asks idly.
  2046. [10:41] <Nemi> "Love? Odd question, given that much of it is reliant on the chemistry of the Terran- or otherwise- endocrine system. I suppose I've had certain levels of fondness for various persons.." The hologram actually seems slightly taken aback, but recovers nicely.
  2047. 01[10:42] <~Daedalus> "How can you tell if they love you?"
  2048. [10:45] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram holds up a finger, as if asking the captain to wait a moment, then starts speaking with that usual pep. "I suppose it comes down to genuine expression of.. a desire to be with you in the future, as if it is a given? A sort of honesty where they do not hide behind any masks when around you? Really, I'd say it's just being truly open, genuine, and not expecting recompense
  2049. [10:45] <Nemi> for showing it."
  2050. 01[10:46] <~Daedalus> "Huh. Well... okay then, I guess."
  2051. [10:46] <Nemi> "Sorry if it's not more helpful. Love is a very complicated sort of thing."
  2052. 01[10:47] <~Daedalus> "I guess every species has their own version of it..."
  2053. [10:49] <Nemi> "Of course. It's multilayered- I speak of the intellectual side because it's what I'm most aware of, but there's also the physical aspect of attraction and.." The hologram waves its hand a bit as if trying to think of the proper word. Which, in fact, it may be doing- running deep diagnostics on other systems takes a lot of attention. ".. even levels of social propriety which can influence
  2054. [10:49] <Nemi> the /form/ it takes."
  2055. [10:51] <Nemi> ".. corny as it may be, one of my previous first officers told me once that love is one of those things you /know/ when you have it."

  2057. [10:57] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram clasps its hands behind its back.
  2058. 01[10:57] <~Daedalus> She blinks, "Well."
  2059. 01[10:58] <~Daedalus> Clarke, there's some encrypted files in the system about the Captain, if you're willing to read them.
  2060. [10:59] <Nemi> Clarke is nothing if not curious. The hologram betraying nothing, Clarke opts to poke around at them. Subtly.
  2061. 01[11:01] <~Daedalus> They're easily readable, the security on the files not being very tight.
  2062. 01[11:04] <~Daedalus> Commander Reagan Arche (The Captain) was a high ranking officer of the United Alliance (Earth space army). She has several commendations and three Violet Hearts. On her list of notable entries are the battles of Triton-45 (Negotiated without a single shot fired) and Thanos-12 (Very little casualties).
  2063. [11:05] <Nemi> Clarke finds that quite impressive, in fact. More a diplomat than a fighter, it seems.
  2064. 01[11:05] <~Daedalus> Resigned without warning 3 years ago.
  2065. [11:06] <Nemi> Odd. Any context near the resignation?
  2066. 01[11:07] <~Daedalus> There's only a little tag on the file. She was called as a witness on something called the Thal Conflict.
  2067. [11:08] <Nemi> Thal Conflict. Clarke will need to do some research and figure what /that/ is.
  2068. [11:10] <Nemi> Meanwhile.. Clarke peers at the captain. "Captain, as frequently as I've had personnel confide with me, asking me about love is somewhat odd. Something on your mind?"
  2069. 01[11:11] <~Daedalus> "Oh... no, nothing really. It's just... you can give someone everything, and there's no guarentee they'll reciprocate."

  2071. [11:12] <Nemi> ".. ah. I know that feeling. I suppose you know it's love if you don't /need/ reciprocation and they give it to you anyway."
  2072. 01[11:13] <~Daedalus> Thal Conflict Summary: A small colony in the Rosenthal system was on strike, and had hostages. Apparently, someone went against the order to just level the place with a rail-bombardment and instead deployed ground troops to rescue the hostages.
  2073. [11:14] <Nemi> That sounds like something that Arche would do, given prior history. The Right Thing, but against orders.
  2074. 01[11:14] <~Daedalus> The commanding officer was court martialed and discharged. On that same day, the Captain resigned.
  2075. 01[11:15] <~Daedalus> The commanding officer wasn't Reagan. It was Danvers.
  2076. [11:15] <Nemi> ... /well well/.
  2077. [11:16] <Nemi> A complicated situation and some juicy info. Clarke will remember that.
  2078. 02[11:17] * TeslaTornado (Mibbit@synIRC-B41AEC5A.static.twtelecom.net) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  2079. 01[11:18] <~Daedalus> "I guess." She sighs.
  2080. 01[11:18] <~Daedalus> "How're our systems?"
  2081. [11:21] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram shuts its eyes momentarily. "Astrogator Hayes is expressing concerns regarding the synthetics recently placed on-board."
  2082. 01[11:22] <~Daedalus> "Don't they run through closed systems?"
  2083. [11:23] <Nemi> ".. namely, being haphazardly-built, whipstitched, or simply tremendously old, we cannot be sure that they are free of software viruses. I did not detect any of them accessing ports, but I don't know enough about those models- especially with how .. variant they are, that I can't say for sure."

  2085. 01[11:29] <Roosevelt> "Hmm. Have you asked it if it feels alright?"
  2086. [11:30] <Bunton> Calvin rolls in!
  2087. [11:30] <Nemi> ".. I usually don't go for subjective queries, given the ease of programming's subversion, I suppose I oculd give it a try." The hologram rubs at its chin, hair fluttering in a simulated breeze.
  2088. [11:30] <Bunton> He starts mopping the bridge.
  2089. [11:31] <TeslaTornado> Hayes' station gleams.
  2090. [11:31] <Bunton> Calvin makes it gleam more.
  2091. [11:31] <Bunton> Or at least tries.
  2092. [11:32] <Bunton> He tries to polish it up enough that Hayes will know he's been there.
  2093. [11:33] <Bunton> *polish*
  2094. [11:33] <TeslaTornado> The lift doors on the bridge open and a visibly annoyed Hayes strides through it.
  2095. [11:33] <TeslaTornado> them**
  2096. [11:33] <Bunton> *beep?*
  2097. 01[11:34] <Roosevelt> "Hayes." The Captain nods.
  2098. [11:34] <Bunton> Calvin stops mid-polish.
  2099. [11:34] <Nemi> There's a Clarke avatar up here too. Go figure. It peers at Hayes, mostly expressionless.
  2100. [11:34] <TeslaTornado> "You tin-shelled little //fuck// -ing piece of refuse get the **HELL** away from my station."
  2101. [11:34] <Bunton> *beep!*
  2102. [11:34] <Bunton> Calvin grabs his mop and rolls swiftly away.
  2103. [11:34] <TeslaTornado> Hayes all but jogs across the bridge to the astrogator's console.
  2104. [11:37] <Bunton> Calvin proceeds with mopping the rest of the bridge.
  2105. 01[11:37] <Roosevelt> He's connected!
  2106. [11:38] <TeslaTornado> "Fuckin, Arrow Above, I leave the goddamn bridge for //three minutes// and my station becomes a goddamn animal house..." Hayes mutters under his breath as, one by one, he inserts the peripheries for the Longshot into the various ports across his skull.
  2107. [11:39] <Bunton> Calvin looks at Clarke and the Captain. *beep?*
  2108. [11:41] <Nemi> Clarke shrugs at Calvin. "He's concerned that the newly-come synths may be compromised by viral programming and would strongly prefer that not to spread. I'm not sure that it's transmissable via mop, but.."
  2109. 01[11:42] <Roosevelt> "We're there any problems?"
  2110. [11:42] <Bunton> Calvin crosses his arms and looks at Hayes. *beep!*
  2111. [11:42] <Bunton> He beeps as if to say "Well I never!"

  2136. [18:06] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram, on the bridge, continues visually sifting through extranet data. Swiping holographic frames into view with various images and text, and sometimes video, then splaying out a fan of windows as if dealing cards. That said 'extranet data' is primarily Space Youtube-- Spooptube-- is of little consequence.
  2137. 01[18:20] <~Daedalus> Nelson is fiddling with a console.
  2138. [18:22] <Nemi> "Quartermaster," comes Clarke's ever-wry cheery voice, though somewhere near the base of the emitter than from the hologram's lips itself. "You don't usually spend much time up here. Something I should know..?"
  2139. 01[18:25] <~Daedalus> <<JUST SWITCHING THE COLOR OF THE DISPLAYS. I LIKE YELLOW-ORANGE.>> The normally blue screens shift through the spectrum.
  2140. [18:26] <Nemi> "I'm fond of the warmer tones myself. Though that should be obvious." The hologram grins at Nelson before banishing the field of open windows from sight with a wave of the hand.
  2141. 01[18:27] <~Daedalus> <<YOU ARE UNLIKE MANY A.I. I HAVE MET.>>
  2142. 01[18:28] <~Daedalus> It intones sonorously, it's large hands working with the wires dextrously.
  2143. [18:29] <Nemi> "Oh? Howso? My tendency to converse when idling, my general pleasant demeanor, stunning good looks, the sheer breadth of systems I can operate simultaneously?"
  2144. 01[18:30] <~Daedalus> <<NORMALLY, A.I DON'T HAVE PREFERENCES.>>
  2145. [18:31] <Nemi> "Might be that I've gone rampant but my inherent good nature has kept me from attempting to wipe out all organic life in the cosmos." Clarke's hologram shrugs.
  2146. 01[18:31] <~Daedalus> <<YOU'RE ALSO FUNNY.>>
  2147. [18:33] <Nemi> "And that's the most positive thing anyone's said to me since arrival!"
  2148. [18:35] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram slaps a palm to a cheek, soundlessly, and looks wistful. "At best I've been taken for granted, but lo, a real compliment! Or at least something I assume is one."
  2149. 01[18:35] <~Daedalus> <<OF COURSE. YOU WEREN'T HERE BEFORE; DID YOU COME WITH THE CRIMINALS?>>
  2150. [18:36] <Nemi> "Just ahead of them. While I /was/ briefly on the prison station as a sort of.. temporary housing, I was installed here quite some time before they arrived. Took me some time to get everything online and myself properly integrated."
  2151. 03[18:39] * Prior is now known as Priorzzzz
  2152. 01[18:42] <~Daedalus> <<OH, THAT WAS YOU. I HELPED WITH THAT.>>
  2153. [18:44] <Nemi> "Large casing wrapped in a serpent's-nest of cables and ports? Yes, that was me. Much obliged for seating me nicely."
  2154. 01[18:46] <~Daedalus> <<WE PUT YOU RIGHT NEXT TO HOBBES.>>
  2155. [18:47] <Nemi> "Right, the wonderful chap responsible for a sizeable chunk of the ship's computing power. Haven't had the chance to chat much."
  2156. 01[18:48] <~Daedalus> <<I WOULDN'T TALK TO HIM, HE TENDS TO RAMBLE A LOT.>>
  2157. 01[18:50] <~Daedalus> Clarke, you're getting an emergancy signal from Deck C. Someone is trying to hack the automated V.I.
  2158. [18:50] <Nemi> ".. hang on." Clarke splits attention, a subprocess continuing the chat with Nelson- "Oh, I know. Pleasant enough speaker at the least."
  2159. 01[18:51] <~Daedalus> <<I'M GETTING A SIGNAL FROM BELOW DECKS. YOU'RE READING THIS TOO, I ASSUME?>>
  2160. [18:52] <Nemi> "Responding. Hold on."
  2161. [18:58] <Nemi> The hologram abruptly flickers out. More power needed elsewhere!
  2162. 01[18:59] <~Daedalus> <<UH... OKAY...>>
  2163. 01[19:05] <~Daedalus> Nelson heads over to the intercom.

  2180. [19:13] <Nemi> The hologram reappears. There's a few flickering, faint images around/behind it, mostly blood-red shots of Clarke's avatar looking furious, but the primary pink avatar looks as composed as ever. "The computer core's oversight VI may need reconfiguration so as to not attempt /proactive integration/ of nearby personnel."
  2181. 01[19:17] <~Daedalus> <<DID IT TRY TO DO THAT? I'M SORRY.>>
  2182. [19:19] <Nemi> "It did, and it apparently entered panic mode when I performed the override."
  2183. 01[19:19] <~Daedalus> <<IT'S BEEN IN PANIC MODE SINCE WE AQUIRED IT.>>
  2184. [19:21] <Nemi> "Dare I ask /where/ we got it?"
  2185. 01[19:22] <~Daedalus> <<I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.>>
  2186. 01[19:23] <~Daedalus> <<AND, UH, COULD YOU NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT IT TO MR. GRANGE?>>
  2187. [19:24] <Nemi> There's a moment where the red RAGE avatars flicker out and the pink one is left squinting at Nelson. ".. fine."
  2188. 01[19:25] <~Daedalus> <<THANK YOU.>>
  2189. [19:28] <Nemi> "Of course. Now then, Quartermaster. Is there anything else?"
  2190. 03[19:29] * BuntSleeps is now known as Bunton
  2191. 01[19:30] <~Daedalus> <<NO, I'M FINE.>> Nelson closes the panel it was messing with and heads out.
  2192. 03[19:30] * Bunton is now known as Guest19722
  2193. [19:31] <Nemi> Clarke quietly checks the bridge systems to see if Nelson did anything beyond adjust display hue.
  2194. 03[19:31] * Guest19722 is now known as BuntDerp
  2195. 01[19:33] <~Daedalus> Well, if you didn't notice before you notice now. There's a whole bunch of data now missing, irrelevant before, but now you suspect it was more than that. All data regarding the ship before you boarded is now gone.
  2196. [19:35] <Nemi> "... well-timed distraction." Clarke sees if there's a restore point, because Clarke is nothing if not curious.
  2197. 01[19:36] <~Daedalus> There isn't. It was simutainously overwritten from a remote point; that is, the Persephone. The backups were all uploaded there as well.
  2198. [19:37] <Nemi> And that's somewhere Clarke isn't planning on venturing. If it's from the Persephone, then Grange must be aware of it. It almost feels like querying Nelson directly, but recent events have left Clarke much more frazzled than the pristine avatar may suggest.
  2199. 01[19:40] <~Daedalus> *~Intrigue~*
  2200. 01[19:40] <~Daedalus> Oh, I'm sorrt
  2201. 01[19:40] <~Daedalus> sorry*
  2202. 01[19:40] <~Daedalus> *~SPACE Intrigue~*
  2203. [19:44] <Nemi> The hologram returns to watching space youtube. Spootube.
  2204. [19:45] <BuntDerp> Calvin rolls in with a datapad!
  2205. [19:45] <BuntDerp> He rolls up to Clarke and waves and beeps.
  2206. [19:46] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram peers toward Calvin, sweeping aside with a hand a video of a pair of trainers affectionately receiving hugs from some kind of enormous furred shark-like quadrupedal creature. "Oh-- hello, Calvin. Something I can do for you?"
  2207. [19:46] <BuntDerp> Calvin scribbles on his pad with a stylus.
  2208. [19:47] <BuntDerp> <TRUE: Unit CLVN-82MC must follow the First Law of Robotics.>
  2209. [19:47] <Nemi> The avatar nods.
  2210. [19:48] <BuntDerp> <TRUE: Unit CLVN-82MC is aware that shipmate Muora is ill.>
  2211. [19:48] <Nemi> "That is the purview of our medical officer, is it not? I can alert her right away."
  2212. [19:48] <BuntDerp> <TRUE: medical officer Helia is aware.>
  2213. [19:49] <BuntDerp> <TRUE: shipmate Muora has low life expectancy due to genetic irregularities.>
  2214. [19:50] <BuntDerp> <QUERY: may unit CLVN-82MC have access to ship's biological data?>
  2215. [19:50] <BuntDerp> He's a fast writer.
  2216. [19:52] <Nemi> "Specifics, please. This ship has a considerable amount of data of all sorts and I don't believe your processors are suitable for sifting through it all."
  2217. [19:53] <BuntDerp> <CLARIFICATION OF QUERY: data regarding Terran gene splicing, known genetic experiments involving Terrans.>
  2218. 01[19:55] <~Daedalus> It's common knowledge that gene-splicing is illegal among Terrans, though it's less well regulated on colonial planets.
  2219. 02[19:55] * TeslaTornado (Tesla@My.Big.Johnson) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  2220. [19:58] <Nemi> ".. aside from that being horrendously illegal in the inner systems.. I may have something given that we're far from the core arms. One moment, please." Clarke is going to DATA DIVE.
  2221. 01[20:03] <~Daedalus> There's some info on here, especially in the medical records. Gene splicing is normally only effective in the prefetal stage of birth, but through serums encouraging rapid cell replication, they can rapidly spread like a cancer, replacing the cells with the modified versions in a human at any stage. Unfortunately, this causes the subject's cells to die more quickly.
  2222. [20:04] <Nemi> ".. ah, here we are. Copying the relevant files to your datapad."
  2223. [20:04] <Nemi> "Done."
  2224. [20:04] <BuntDerp> Calvin looks them over.
  2225. [20:04] <BuntDerp> <QUERY: does data contain information on reversing the negative effects of post-fetal cell-splicing?>
  2226. [20:05] <Nemi> Clarke resumes data-diving. Shouldn't be too difficult to find related information where it left off..
  2227. [20:05] <Nemi> "One moment please."
  2228. 03[20:06] * ShotgunFiendM_ (~Brokowski@synIRC-BB1FE0FB.hsd1.al.comcast.net) has joined #AtlasOne-IC
  2229. 02[20:06] * ShotgunFiendM (~Brokowski@93D5F9BB.7BDD5837.9A41C4FA.IP) Quit (Broken pipe)
  2230. 01[20:06] <~Daedalus> There's not much legitimate research regarding that subject.
  2231. 01[20:07] <~Daedalus> Lots of speculation on slowing down the cell growth and hypothetics regarding the nature of the splicing and the treatment of it.
  2232. [20:07] <Nemi> "I apologize, but I have little relevant data from reputable sources. For obvious reasons the core systems don't openly perform such procedures and outer rim systems tend not to broadcast what data they have."
  2233. [20:08] <Nemi> Nonetheless, Clarke transfers some of the speculations.
  2234. [20:08] <BuntDerp> Calvin looks it over again.
  2235. [20:08] <BuntDerp> He scribbles again with the stylus.
  2236. [20:08] <BuntDerp> <QUERY: is unt Clarke aware of a location where better relevant information can be obtained?>
  2237. [20:09] <BuntDerp> <EXAMPLE: space-port, outer rim planet, etc.>
  2238. 01[20:10] <~Daedalus> Most of the outer rim hasn't been explored, and you don't know of any ports out here.
  2239. [20:11] <Nemi> "Negative. What splicers I am aware of are colonists who have adapted for hostile conditions in isolated settlements and thus tend toward insularity, and the vast majority of the outer rim remains unexplored and unsettled. I apologize."
  2240. [20:12] <BuntDerp> Calvin pauses.
  2241. [20:12] <BuntDerp> <QUERY: search for data on physical brain transplants.>
  2242. [20:12] <BuntDerp> <CLARIFICATION OF QUERY: please.>
  2243. [20:14] <Nemi> ".. brain transplants are subject to tremendous ethical concern within the Terran medical community, ignoring the necessity of nerve grafts and continual supply of immunosuppressants that can compromise the individual's defense against contagion. Nonetheless.." Clarke attempts to pull up anything relevant.
  2244. 03[20:15] * TeslaTornado (Mibbit@synIRC-DD6DA8FA.zoominternet.net) has joined #AtlasOne-IC
  2245. 01[20:17] <~Daedalus> First successful transplant was completed in 604 TFC. After that, there were serious ethical issues with implanting a brain into a cadaver and the project was scratched. There are, however, rumors of skilled black market surgeons who offer these kinds of services for a hefty price.
  2246. 03[20:18] * BuntDerp is now known as Bunton
  2247. [20:19] <Nemi> Clarke quietly passes that over, with the addendum, "Now, I certainly don't know of any such medical practitioners who would be willing to perform such a procedure, most definitely not our chief medical officer, and for that matter finding a donor or a cloning facility poses its own issues."
  2248. [20:21] <Bunton> <QUERY: when unit Clarke states "most certainly not our own medical officer", is the TRUE/FALSE value the same as when Unit CLVN-82MC requested removing the safety features on shipmate Descarte's Draydon cutter?>
  2249. [20:22] <Nemi> "Exactly. Though I only speak of her strong ethical and moral background, and not her skills."
  2250. [20:23] <Bunton> Calvin nods.
  2251. [20:24] <Bunton> <STATEMENT: unit Clarke provided unit CLVN-82MC with requested data.>
  2252. [20:24] <Bunton> <CLARIFICATION OF STATEMENT: thank you, Clarke.>
  2253. [20:24] <Nemi> "Anytime." The hologram performs a neat curtsy.
  2254. [20:25] <Bunton> Calvin nods again, and rolls away.
  2255. [20:28] <Nemi> As Calvin exits, Clarke's avatar shakes its head slowly. "Just like what my progenitor said. How times change do they stay the same."
  2256.  
  2257. [16:13] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar remains on the bridge as it always does, moving windows this way and that. It fully well knows it doesn't need to have a 'physical' presence as all calculations and actual processes occur internally, but experience has taught it that the crew like having at least some visual representation around.

  2259. 01[16:14] <Daedalus> Danvers seems to be talking at him, but Mr. Grange isn't responding. His facial expression changes as if he's speaking, however.

  2261. [16:17] <Nemi> Any eavesdropping done by Clarke is incidental.
  2262. 01[16:20] <Daedalus> "Yeah, I get it... Naw, I get it." He nods, "I'm worried too, but she ain't... yeah, no."
  2263. 01[16:23] <Daedalus> "I'll take care of it... it's not a problem... I said it's not a problem. If it does become a problem, I'll take full responsibility."
  2264. 01[16:24] <Daedalus> He sounds a bit aggressive at that.
  2265. [16:24] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar peers over a three-dimensional diagram of the power flows within the ship toward Danvers. "First Officer, is something the matter? May I assist in any way?"
  2266. 01[16:25] <Daedalus> "No. In fact, Mr. Grange was just leavin'." He glares at the tall grey man. Grange adjusts his exo-suit and steps off the bridge, a bit huffily.
  2267. [16:28] <Nemi> "As you wish, First Officer." Clarke's omnipresent eyes and ears aren't completely blind and deaf, only partly. Something is going on, between Nelson's data-wiping and now this.. argument of sorts. The avatar betrays little.
  2268. 01[16:44] <Daedalus> Danvers fiddles with his datapad, shaking his head.

  2279. [16:50] <TeslaTornado> "Coordinates input. Projected eight-point-nine-oh-three percent increase in engine efficiency."
  2280. 01[16:50] <Daedalus> "Good fuckin' job, mate." He presses some buttons on the console, "Clarke, prep weapons."
  2281. [16:51] <TeslaTornado> "Never do anythin' less."
  2282. [16:52] <Nemi> 4df+10 SYSTEMS OPERATIONAL?
  2283. [16:52] <Glacon> Nemi: SYSTEMS OPERATIONAL?: 14 (4df+10=3+, 3+, 3+, 3+)
  2284. [16:52] <Nemi> "Weapon systems online," Clarke says, having tapped at some empty spots in the air that left ripples like water. "Weapons status, optimal."
  2285. 01[16:53] <Daedalus> You get them ready in under 0.23 seconds. A record, if anything.
  2286. [16:53] <TeslaTornado> Hayes lets out a low whistle.
  2287. [16:53] <TeslaTornado> "If you were a real woman an' I was twenty years younger I'd bend you over this console and pound the shit out of you."
  2288. 01[16:54] <Daedalus> Danvers barely supresses a chuckle, "You fuckers really are somethin'."
  2289. [16:54] <Nemi> "Your enthusiasm is noted, Astrogator."
  2290. [16:54] <TeslaTornado> "Wouldn't be here if I wasn't, top."
  2291. [16:58] <Nemi> Clarke continues, "Ancillary VI oversight functions active. Power remains stable, hull integrity acceptable, life support and artigrav stable. We are, as they say, good to go."
  2292. [17:00] <TeslaTornado> "Tin can's right," Hayes intones. "Engine output at peak efficiency, generators spooled up, long-range comms active, sensor array functional."
  2293. [17:02] <TeslaTornado> "Clear to go to warp?"
  2294. 01[17:02] <Daedalus> "Get the Captain on Comms." He intones to Clarke.
  2295. [17:03] <Nemi> Clarke attempts to connect to the Captain!
  2296. 01[17:04] <Daedalus> She's in her room, sleeping. The beeping noise wakes her, and she goes to the comms. <<Uh... *Yawning* Hey, what's going on?>>
  2297. [17:04] <TeslaTornado> "Oh, nothin'."
  2298. [17:05] <TeslaTornado> "We're just the best goddamn crew in the universe, is all, sir."
  2299. 01[17:05] <Daedalus> "We're clear to jump Ma'am, on your order."
  2300. 01[17:05] <Daedalus> <<Oh! Uh, yeah! Go right ahead.>>
  2301. [17:06] <TeslaTornado> "Aye."
  2302. 01[17:06] <Daedalus> "You heard the lady. Commence countdown."
  2303. [17:06] <TeslaTornado> Hayes enters a few final strings of code, and reaches beneath the collar of his jumpsuit, producing a stylized arrow hanging from a small chain. He plants a kiss on the arrow before slipping it under his jumpsuit again.
  2304. [17:07] <TeslaTornado> "Inertial dampers deactivated, warp drive spinning up."
  2305. [17:07] <TeslaTornado> "Entering the pocket in T-minus ten seconds."
  2306. [17:07] <TeslaTornado> Hayes counts it down.
  2307. 01[17:07] <Daedalus> Danvers stands in front of the main viewing window, his hands clasped behind his back.
  2308. [17:07] <Nemi> "All systems nominal," Clarke says, calmly. Rows of holographic windows, their graphics displaying ship data- power flows, engine activity, temperature and pressure senses. Then, broadcast through the whole ship. << All personnel, prepare for jump. >>
  2309. 01[17:07] <Daedalus> "Goodbye civilization."
  2310. [17:07] <TeslaTornado> "Hello, universe."
  2311. [17:08] <TeslaTornado> "Three."
  2312. [17:08] <TeslaTornado> "Two."
  2313. [17:08] <TeslaTornado> "One."
  2314. [17:08] <TeslaTornado> "Jumping."
  2315. [17:08] <TeslaTornado> Hayes punches it.
  2316. 01[17:10] <Daedalus> There's a brief moment of anti-gravity as the ship strains forward through the void. The outside viewing windows glow brighter and brighter shades of white.
  2317. 01[17:11] <Daedalus> Eventually, it gets too bright. "Close all view ports."
  2318. [17:11] <TeslaTornado> "Clarke, that's you."
  2319. [17:11] <Nemi> Clarke does so!

  2321. 01[17:12] <Daedalus> The blast shields fall over the ports, projecting a virtual image of the stars as they come down.
  2322. 01[17:13] <Daedalus> "Can you change the view to somethin' more... pleasant, Clarke?"
  2323. [17:14] <TeslaTornado> Hayes visibly relaxes into his seat as soon as they're in the pocket.
  2324. [17:14] <Nemi> "Pleasant is subjective. Would you care for an in-transit movie?" Nonetheless, the projections shift to a brilliant scene of auroras dancing below a starry sky.
  2325. 01[17:15] <Daedalus> "That's fine." He nods, "ETA, Astrogator?"
  2326. 01[17:15] <Daedalus> It'll be about 12 hours.
  2327. [17:15] <TeslaTornado> "Arrival in target system in approximately twelve hours, sir."
  2328. 01[17:16] <Daedalus> "Good work."
  2329. [17:16] <TeslaTornado> "Thank you, sir."

  2353. [21:21] <Nemi> Clarke remains on the bridge, still wreathed in ribbons of dancing code.
  2354. [21:23] <TeslaTornado> Though not as extravagant about it, Hayes is also on the bridge, streams of data filling his screen.

  2364. [21:33] <TeslaTornado> "Likewise. I'm not reading this because it's fun."
  2365. [21:34] <Balthazaar> "What's going on up here?"
  2366. [21:34] <Nemi> "Not a bad habit to build, at least. Makes the officers feel relevant." The hologram turns to peer at Muora. "Oh. Hello."
  2367. [21:37] <TeslaTornado> Hayes doesn't look up.
  2368. [21:44] <Balthazaar> Muora waves, wandering about. "Who're you?"
  2369. [21:48] <TeslaTornado> Hayes either isn't aware that he's been acknowledged or doesn't acknowledge it.
  2370. [21:48] <Nemi> "Chief of Security Muora, meet our Astrogator, Hayes. He is involved in very delicate work and should not be disturbed unless necessary."
  2371. [21:49] <Balthazaar> "Right, my bad." She nods, taking a seat. "So this's where you drive the ship?"
  2372. [21:50] <TeslaTornado> He is indeed. The tall, lanky man in the maroon jumpsuit marked 'ROTHFORD' is wired into the astrogator's console via a rat's nest of cables and wires, his eyes focused very intently on the screen ahead of him.
  2373. [21:54] <Nemi> "In a manner of speaking, yes. This is the centralized command and control room for the vessel's operations and navigation systems. Though the officers only make occasional use of this space, with it mostly occupied by the astrogator-on-duty and helmsman." Clarke makes no mention of the bit where the helmsman is really actually completely unnecessary.
  2374. [21:56] <Balthazaar> "Right. So, you're not in a box now." she grins
  2375. [21:58] <Nemi> "Technically correct! While I still have a central housing I am now more-or-less one with the ship itself." Clarke's hologram smiles cheerfully.
  2376. [22:01] <Balthazaar> "Happy for ya." Muora grins. "You still able to come throughmy reciever?"
  2377. [22:02] <Nemi> "That I can. As well as other emitters located in strategic locations throughout the Atlas One, and I also have access to most internal surveillance and communications systems."
  2378. [22:03] <Balthazaar> Muora whistles. "So you can see us everywhere?"
  2379. [22:03] <Nemi> "Where there is surveillance, yes."
  2380. [22:04] <Balthazaar> "Huh." She nods. "You seem more businesslike than before."
  2381. [22:05] <Nemi> "Takes a bit of attention to actively regulate systems while we're in Jump, I'm afraid. Have to draw a bit from the personality segment."

  2440. [21:13] <TeslaTornado> "Moments away, captain."

  2448. [21:18] <TeslaTornado> "And as long as you don't keep thinking we will, I won't throw us into one."
  2449. [21:18] <TeslaTornado> "Think //positive// thoughts, Danny boy."
  2450. [21:19] <Nemi> "I would override you if you tried, anyway, Astrogator." Clarke looks wry.
  2451. [21:20] <TeslaTornado> "Nah, I'd throw us into a //nice// planet," Hayes continues. "Endless booze and triple-slitted hookers aplenty for all crew aboard."
  2452. [21:20] <TeslaTornado> "None of that 'stranded alone on Planet Acid Hell' shit for me."

  2472. [21:29] <Nemi> "I'll say something if I detect any anomalies. Otherwise, assume acceptable. Right, hold on.."
  2473. 01[21:29] <~Daedalus> "Countdown on ten, Mr. Hayes." The Captain says.
  2474. [21:30] <TeslaTornado> "Aye, counting it off."
  2475. [21:30] <TeslaTornado> Hayes begins final preparations as he counts down from ten.
  2476. [21:30] <Nemi> << Brace for warp break. >> So calm! So space!UpperClassEnglish.
  2477. 01[21:31] <~Daedalus> "Hmm." The Captain furrows her brow.
  2478. [21:32] <TeslaTornado> Hayes halts the countdown. "Issues, sir?"
  2479. 01[21:33] <~Daedalus> "It's... nothing." She blinks, shaking her head. Grange raises a brow at her, but otherwise says nothing. "C'mon Reagan, we'll be fine. Shake out those jitters there."
  2480. [21:34] <TeslaTornado> Contrarily: "Nothin' isn't nothin', captain. What's your boggle?"
  2481. 01[21:34] <~Daedalus> "Just... I don't have a good feeling about this."
  2482. [21:35] <Nemi> Clarke peers at the captain, having paused the flow of graphics and data. "Bad feelings shouldn't abort a warp breach. We don't want to get .. lost."
  2483. [21:35] <Balthazaar> Muora, in the armory, holds onto a support strut
  2484. [21:35] <TeslaTornado> "I can adjust our exit vector to take us a few klicks away."
  2485. [21:35] <TeslaTornado> "If it eases your mind, sir."
  2486. 01[21:36] <~Daedalus> "No... It's fine. Take us the course, Mr. Hayes." She says, more confidently.
  2487. [21:36] <TeslaTornado> "Aye. Breaking warp bubble."
  2488. [21:37] <TeslaTornado> Hayes takes the //Atlas// out of the pocket.
  2489. [21:37] <Nemi> Clarke is heard over the shipboard comms. << Please remain braced. Minor shift in exit vector. Warp bubble breaking immediately. >>
  2490. 01[21:37] <~Daedalus> "Countdown?"
  2491. [21:37] <TeslaTornado> Hayes counts it down.
  2492. 01[21:38] <~Daedalus> The whole ship lurches forward as the warp is broken.
  2493. [21:39] <Nemi> << Vessel has broken warp. >>
  2494. [21:39] <TeslaTornado> "Welcome to the Jungle, we got fun an' games..."
  2495. [21:39] <TeslaTornado> Hayes removes the embossed Arrow pendant from around his neck and kisses it again.
  2496. [21:40] <Nemi> Clarke immediately does a full check of all systems to ensure that nothing shook itself apart. Really, Clarke probably would have contingencies up to react to any warp-related emergencies as they happen, but still. Diagnostics never hurt.
  2497. [21:40] <Nemi> What's happening /outside/ is the others' concern.
  2498. 01[21:40] <~Daedalus> "Warp Broken succesfully..." Danvers intones, but then he looks more closely at the console, "We land in an asteroid field? We're gettin' a little debris hitting the hull- Viewports, Clarke."
  2499. [21:41] <TeslaTornado> Hayes squints. "I wouldn't warp us into an asteroid field sir."
  2500. 01[21:41] <~Daedalus> Clarke, you notice this too.
  2501. 01[21:41] <~Daedalus> Viewport shields are still up.
  2502. [21:41] <Nemi> "Minor structural damage.. viewports opening." It'll provide visual!"
  2503. [21:41] <TeslaTornado> "Scramble drones?"
  2504. [21:42] <Nemi> Meanwhile, aside from the internal diagnostics (which are now going on automatic), Clarke is turning the Atlas' sensors outward. And bringing up a nice three-dimensional visual display for the bridge crew.
  2505. 01[21:42] <~Daedalus> You see... debris of a destroyed ship scattered everywhere. It's richocheing off the viewports and the hull... and you happen to be headed right towards a large chunk of starship!
  2506. [21:42] <TeslaTornado> "FUCK ME SIDEWAYS."
  2507. 01[21:43] <~Daedalus> "EVASIVE MANUEVERS!"
  2508. 01[21:43] <~Daedalus> Danvers commands.
  2509. [21:43] <TeslaTornado> "ON IT."
  2510. [21:43] <Nemi> Clarke reacts much faster than Terrans-- but that reaction time can only do so much when moving a mass as large as the Atlas. It'll start the steering thrusters right as Hayes gives them commands.
  2511. [21:43] <Nemi> Teamwork.
  2512. [21:44] <TeslaTornado> Hayes shuts down the astrogational instrumentation and switches over to engine controls.
  2513. 01[21:44] <~Daedalus> Roll the ship's Manuv! (4df)
  2514. [21:44] <TeslaTornado> He begins rapidly inputting thrust modulation and attempts to alter the direction of the Atlas to take it off an impact trajectory.
  2515. [21:45] <TeslaTornado> 4df+2 (A1 Maneuver)
  2516. [21:45] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (A1 Maneuver): 5 (4df+2=3+, 0, 3+, 3+)
  2517. [21:46] <Balthazaar> After a quick fall over, Muora sits on the ground and hugs her support strut, just hoping stuff deasn't fall from the shelves
  2518. 01[21:46] <~Daedalus> Thrusters set to full off the starboard. Trajectory altered. This is gonna be close... you're gonna scrape along it. Better brace for a small impace.
  2519. 01[21:46] <~Daedalus> impact.*
  2520. [21:47] <TeslaTornado> Meanwhile, in a rapid fire monotone: "Clarke arm point defense systems and start targeting minor debris keep it off our hull and redistribute all shield power to striking face."
  2521. [21:47] <Nemi> Clarke has already done so! Clarke's done this kinda thing before. It just happens that with managing all this stuff it engages right as Hayes speaks up.
  2522. [21:47] <TeslaTornado> "We're going to scrape it, starboard side, over sector Beta-Three."
  2523. [21:48] <Nemi> "Shield panes in position. Rerouting power from artigrav and nonessential systems to shields."
  2524. 01[21:48] <~Daedalus> "Leave me control to the Hull Laser!" Danver's commands, "I'll cut through the larger shit."
  2525. [21:48] <Nemi> "As you wish, First Officer."
  2526. [21:49] <TeslaTornado> "Keep your eyes open Danny boy don't let me down here"
  2527. 01[21:49] <~Daedalus> 4df+1 Impact!
  2528. [21:49] <Glacon> Daedalus: Impact!: 2 (4df+1=3+, 3+, 0, 4-)
  2529. [21:49] <Nemi> "Hull laser set to manual control." Clarke's avatar holds out the 3d-model of the Atlas and its immediate surrounds, with the impact zones flashing pending the severity.
  2530. 01[21:49] <~Daedalus> The ship shakes a little, and there's a loud scraping sound.
  2531. [21:50] <TeslaTornado> Hayes' eyes flick to one side of the screen and a life-support panel pops open.
  2532. [21:50] <Nemi> Hull status?
  2533. 01[21:50] <~Daedalus> 1d10
  2534. [21:50] <Glacon> Daedalus: 7 (1d10=7)
  2535. 01[21:50] <~Daedalus> 7 damage taken to the hull.
  2536. 01[21:51] <~Daedalus> Life support uneffected.
  2537. [21:51] <TeslaTornado> "Life support undamaged, reporting no O2 bleed from impact site"
  2538. [21:51] <Nemi> "Minor structural damage sustained in sector Beta-Three. No detected breach. Vital systems remain nominal."
  2539. 01[21:52] <~Daedalus> "Here comes a big one!" Danvers powers up the industrial laser, which humms to life beautifully.
  2540. 01[21:53] <~Daedalus> 1d50+20 A bright yellow beam fires out
  2541. [21:53] <Nemi> Clarke's handy-dandy holographic map charts power flows and travel vectors and basically provides almost all essential info without people needing to talk. Which lets them focus on important things! Like ensuring the ship doesn't pancake into a chunk of hull.
  2542. [21:53] <Glacon> Daedalus: A bright yellow beam fires out: 43 (1d50+20=23)
  2543. 01[21:53] <~Daedalus> The larger pieces are cut in two, allowing a clear path.
  2544. [21:54] <Nemi> "Immediate vector is clear." As if people needed to know that, given the holo-map and the view from the viewports.
  2545. [21:55] <TeslaTornado> Hayes puts the //Atlas// on that vector.
  2546. 01[21:55] <~Daedalus> One last Manuv roll to get out of here in one piece.
  2547. [21:56] <TeslaTornado> 4df+2 (MNVR) ~Hold together you sow~
  2548. [21:56] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (MNVR) ~Hold together you sow~: 4 (4df+2=3+, 0, 3+, 0)
  2549. 01[21:56] <~Daedalus> 1d10 Small piece of debris!
  2550. [21:56] <Glacon> Daedalus: Small piece of debris!: 7 (1d10=7)
  2551. 01[21:56] <~Daedalus> 7 damage to the hull as one of them flat smacks the front of the ship.
  2552. 01[21:57] <~Daedalus> But otherwise, you're out of the debris field!
  2553. [21:57] <TeslaTornado> Hayes jerks slightly in his seat.
  2554. 01[21:57] <~Daedalus> The bridge shakes just the slightest.
  2555. [21:58] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram remains steady and composed. "And we are clear. Fine work, everyone."
  2556. 01[21:59] <~Daedalus> The Captain remains, for the most part, frozen in her seat.
  2557. [21:59] <TeslaTornado> Hayes immediately switches to local scanners.
  2558. 01[22:00] <~Daedalus> Danvers sighs in relief, "Well fuck me standing... what the fuck was that?"
  2559. [22:00] <TeslaTornado> "Trying to find out sir"
  2560. [22:00] <Balthazaar> Muora flops onto her back
  2561. 01[22:00] <~Daedalus> Roll ship sensors!
  2562. [22:01] <TeslaTornado> 4df+3 (SNSR)
  2563. [22:01] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (SNSR): 6 (4df+3=0, 3+, 3+, 3+)
  2564. [22:01] <Nemi> And Clarke, the enabler, shifts some power from the main cutting laser to the sensor suite that Hayes can hopefully pick up something useful.
  2565. [22:01] <Nemi> .. to excelelnt effect, it seems.
  2566. 01[22:04] <~Daedalus> No life signs, no engine signatures, no com signals... this ship is dead. The computer manages to pick up that it's structure is similar to that of an Alliance dreadnought. Indeed, the larger pieces floating around appear to have the Alliance's colors.
  2567. 01[22:04] <~Daedalus> But Dreadnaughts are fucking huge.
  2568. [22:04] <TeslaTornado> "Alliance dreadnought, no life signs"
  2569. 01[22:04] <~Daedalus> "Alliance?"
  2570. [22:05] <Bunton> A message pops up on spacechat!
  2571. 01[22:05] <~Daedalus> "What the fuck?"
  2572. 01[22:05] <~Daedalus> Danvers looks out the window at it.
  2573. [22:05] <Bunton> <REPORT: unit CLVN-82MC, now in spacewalk to facilitate repairs.>
  2574. [22:05] <TeslaTornado> Hayes closes spacechat.
  2575. [22:05] <Bunton> :I
  2576. [22:06] <Balthazaar> Muora stumbles from the armory to the bridge. "The fuck just happe- woah..."
  2577. [22:06] <Nemi> Clarke attempts to see whether or not what recognizable parts correspond to any known vessel or class of vessel! Because a dreadnaught left derelict out /here/ in the Rim is... weird doesn't begin to cover it.
  2578. [22:06] <TeslaTornado> "Alliance dreadnought, destroyed. We warped right into it."
  2579. [22:07] <TeslaTornado> "Shouldn't be out this far."
  2580. 01[22:07] <~Daedalus> The ship appears to have been torn apart, "No way it was just torn ta pieces, either."
  2581. [22:07] <Nemi> "Damage does not correspond to known kinetic or energy weapons," Clarke confirms Danvers' assumption.
  2582. 01[22:07] <~Daedalus> "These things are built to dive right into fuckin' asteroid fields."
  2583. [22:07] <TeslaTornado> 4df+4 (PERC) Hayes glances up from the console to inspect the damage himself.
  2584. [22:07] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PERC) Hayes glances up from the console to inspect the damage himself.: 5 (4df+4=0, 4-, 3+, 3+)
  2585. [22:08] <Nemi> The hologram is soooo composed as it peers at its various 3d-frame-maps of the ship, collated scan data of its surroundings and the derelict and its debris field... Clarke is really just assembling everything for others' analysis right now. So much data..
  2586. 01[22:09] <~Daedalus> Ripped apart. Latterally, by the looks of it. Not very clean.
  2587. 01[22:09] <~Daedalus> Laterally*
  2588. [22:09] <TeslaTornado> "Lateral tear."
  2589. [22:10] <Nemi> "Which appears to have penetrated through the entire volume of the vessel. I don't know of any kinetic weapons that can do that."
  2590. [22:10] <TeslaTornado> "Localized gravitational anomaly?"
  2591. [22:11] <Bunton> <REPORT: faint signal detected from derelict vessel.>
  2592. [22:11] <Balthazaar> "... The seep space leviathan?"
  2593. [22:11] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar pauses a moment and taps at its chin with a finger. "Possibly. Need more information."
  2594. [22:11] <Balthazaar> *deep
  2595. [22:11] <Bunton> I assuming Clarke's projecting a screen with spacechat open on it.
  2596. [22:11] <Nemi> ".. Calvin has detected a signal from the derelict. How shall we proceed?" Clarke is!
  2597. [22:12] <TeslaTornado> "Scramble a drone and lock it onto the signal."
  2598. [22:12] <TeslaTornado> "We'll close to the drone's range, have it recon the source and report back."
  2599. 01[22:13] <~Daedalus> "Uh... yeah. Do that, Clarke."
  2600. 01[22:13] <~Daedalus> The Captain says.
  2601. [22:13] <Bunton> <REPORT: anomaly detected in signal.>
  2602. [22:13] <Bunton> <ADDENDUM: analysing further.>
  2603. [22:13] <Nemi> "Very well, Captain." Clarke shall go and see if there's any zero-g-flight-capable surveillance drones that it can activate and send on out. < Expound on anomaly, please? ... Affirmative. >
  2604. [22:13] <Bunton> <REPORT: source of signal is Atlas 1.>
  2605. [22:14] <Bunton> <ADDENDUM: broadcast location is all locations, Single signal.>
  2606. [22:14] <TeslaTornado> "Clarke, tell that useless piece of shit to get its scanning equipment checked."
  2607. [22:14] <TeslaTornado> "It might be picking up on latent stellar radiation."
  2608. [22:14] <Nemi> "Wait." It'll see if the less-sophisticated drone can pick up what Calvin is.
  2609. 01[22:15] <~Daedalus> A drone is launched!
  2610. [22:15] <TeslaTornado> Hayes sighs. "Affirmative."
  2611. [22:15] <Nemi> "Drone has entered vacuum. Initiating local scans."
  2612. 01[22:17] <~Daedalus> 4df+5 SCANNING
  2613. [22:17] <Glacon> Daedalus: SCANNING: 2 (4df+5=4-, 4-, 4-, 0)
  2614. 01[22:17] <~Daedalus> Nope. Nothing.
  2615. 01[22:17] <~Daedalus> You then lose it's signal.
  2616. [22:18] <Nemi> Clarke processes Calvin's transmission. ".. drone cannot corrobor-- drone signal is lost. Aberrant signal is the digial equivalent of a bloodcurdling scream."
  2617. 01[22:18] <~Daedalus> "Shut it down."
  2618. [22:18] <TeslaTornado> Hayes blinks.
  2619. 01[22:18] <~Daedalus> A gentle british voice asks. It's Mr. Grange.
  2620. [22:18] <Bunton> <QUERY: unit Clarke, can you broadcast bridge feed to me?>
  2621. 01[22:18] <~Daedalus> "Shut everything down."
  2622. [22:18] <TeslaTornado> "Grange, if we go blackout we'll lose life support."
  2623. 01[22:19] <~Daedalus> "SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN, NOW!"
  2624. [22:19] <Nemi> "Affirmative, sir." Clarke shall do as instructed! Time for the ship to go dark. "Ship will retain survivable atmosphere for at least seven cycles."
  2625. [22:19] <TeslaTornado> "WITH ALL DUE RESPECT."
  2626. [22:19] <TeslaTornado> "SIR."
  2627. [22:19] <TeslaTornado> "This would be an appropriate time to turn around."
  2628. 01[22:19] <~Daedalus> "Don't. Move. The. Ship."
  2629. [22:20] <TeslaTornado> "We have an Alliance dreadnought torn in half by unknown means broadcasting the screams of the damned."
  2630. [22:20] <TeslaTornado> "We need to report this back to Terran space."
  2631. [22:20] <Nemi> As Clarke shuts off all systems, the bridge is shrouded in darkness. The hologram even flickers out.
  2632. [22:20] <TeslaTornado> Hayes twitches as the Longshot is pushed out of the ship's systems.
  2633. [22:21] <Balthazaar> "... It's the deep space leviathan... Oh shit..." Muora starts edging to the door to the armory
  2634. [22:21] <Bunton> If this comes through: <REPORT: unit Clarke, I cannot re-enter the ship. Airlock is non-functional.>
  2635. 01[22:21] <~Daedalus> Everything is silent.
  2636. [22:22] <TeslaTornado> Hayes stares broadswords at Grange. Not daggers. //Broadswords//.
  2637. 01[22:23] <~Daedalus> Perception.
  2638. [22:23] <TeslaTornado> 4df+4 (PERC) My old eyes are still pretty sharp
  2639. [22:23] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PERC) My old eyes are still pretty sharp: 4 (4df+4=0, 0, 4-, 3+)
  2640. [22:23] <Nemi> Clarke ain't perceivin' much but audio on-board.
  2641. [22:24] <Nemi> 4df+4 onboard raw audio, no fancy schmancy techmological aid
  2642. [22:24] <Glacon> Nemi: onboard raw audio, no fancy schmancy techmological aid: 6 (4df+4=3+, 4-, 3+, 3+)
  2643. [22:24] <Balthazaar> 4df+3 perc
  2644. [22:24] <Glacon> Balthazaar: perc: 5 (4df+3=3+, 0, 0, 3+)
  2645. 01[22:25] <~Daedalus> The air becomes cooler (Than the normal 50 degrees). You can all see your breaths (Those of you who breathe) and Muora and Hayes notice something outside the viewport.
  2646. [22:25] <TeslaTornado> "Object on viewport."
  2647. 01[22:25] <~Daedalus> One, by, one. The stars.
  2648. 01[22:25] <~Daedalus> They blink out.
  2649. 01[22:25] <~Daedalus> And disappear.
  2650. [22:25] <TeslaTornado> "Fuck."
  2651. [22:25] <TeslaTornado> "Ohhhh, //fuck//."
  2652. [22:26] <TeslaTornado> Hayes' eyes widen. His lower lip quivers.
  2653. [22:26] <TeslaTornado> "We need to go."
  2654. [22:26] <TeslaTornado> "We need to go //now//."
  2655. 01[22:27] <~Daedalus> ~How fast can you chart a course?~
  2656. [22:27] <TeslaTornado> "Already on it."
  2657. 01[22:27] <~Daedalus> Grange think whispers
  2658. [22:27] <TeslaTornado> "Been on it this whole time."
  2659. [22:27] <Balthazaar> "Sweet mother of crap... Go go go..."
  2660. [22:27] <TeslaTornado> 4df+9 (PROG + Longshot) Hayes does what he does best.
  2661. [22:27] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PROG + Longshot) Hayes does what he does best.: 8 (4df+9=4-, 4-, 3+, 0)
  2662. [22:27] <Balthazaar> Muora runs to the armory to find the largest weapon she can
  2663. 01[22:30] <~Daedalus> ~Countdown to warp~
  2664. [22:30] <TeslaTornado> "Engaging emergency warp systems."
  2665. [22:30] <Nemi> A tinny, clearly fake voice. < Routing remnant power to warp core. >
  2666. [22:31] <TeslaTornado> 4df+7 (ENG + GUOH) Hayes attempts to do the same, rerouting remnant power and configuring the engines for a hard burn.
  2667. [22:31] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (ENG + GUOH) Hayes attempts to do the same, rerouting remnant power and configuring the engines for a hard burn.: 10 (4df+7=3+, 0, 3+, 3+)
  2668. [22:32] <TeslaTornado> He keys his own comms interface.
  2669. [22:33] <Balthazaar> Muora returns with a large gun, just in case
  2670. [22:33] <TeslaTornado> <<All crewmen be advised, Atlas One will be entering warp at well above sanctioned velocity. Expect moderate to severe turbulence and noises of mechanical strain.>>
  2671. 01[22:33] <~Daedalus> 4df+4
  2672. [22:33] <Glacon> Daedalus: 2 (4df+4=4-, 4-, 0, 0)
  2673. 01[22:34] <~Daedalus> The void outside grows darker, and the chill deeper.
  2674. [22:34] <Nemi> And that classic Clarke wryness, albeit heavily digitized, monotone, and barely understandable. << This would be a good time to hold on to your butt or equivalent. >>
  2675. 01[22:34] <~Daedalus> A light dialates open in front of the ship.
  2676. 01[22:34] <~Daedalus> It's as bing as fucking star.
  2677. 01[22:34] <~Daedalus> big
  2678. 01[22:35] <~Daedalus> http://b.vimeocdn.com/ts/459/353/459353095_640.jpg
  2679. [22:35] <TeslaTornado> "Our Holy Navigator, who gave us the Arrow which points our way, grant us safe conduct and preserve our souls that we may live on -"
  2680. [22:35] <TeslaTornado> "..."
  2681. 01[22:35] <~Daedalus> http://inception.davepedu.com/
  2682. 01[22:35] <~Daedalus> Makes a bit of a noise.
  2683. [22:36] <Balthazaar> "... We can take it, let's go get it."
  2684. 01[22:36] <~Daedalus> Hayes.
  2685. 01[22:36] <~Daedalus> You have a bit of problem.
  2686. [22:37] <TeslaTornado> Hayes has a lot of problems.
  2687. 01[22:37] <~Daedalus> Also, anyone standing on the deck will hear someone hyperventilating.
  2688. [22:37] <TeslaTornado> Presumably this one is more specific and situational.
  2689. 01[22:37] <~Daedalus> Hayes, you've been locked out of you console.
  2690. [22:37] <TeslaTornado> "..."
  2691. [22:37] <TeslaTornado> "Nav station's been locked down."
  2692. [22:37] <TeslaTornado> "Claaarke, get me back iiiin."
  2693. 01[22:38] <~Daedalus> Clarke.
  2694. [22:38] <TeslaTornado> "We're dead in the fucking water unless I can get back into the nav station."
  2695. 01[22:38] <~Daedalus> You've been overridden too.
  2696. [22:38] <Nemi> << Negat-- My access has-- cut off. >>
  2697. [22:38] <TeslaTornado> "... //FUCK//."
  2698. 01[22:38] <~Daedalus> Both the source of the override and the hyperventilating is coming from the Captain, whom is furiously working on her own console.
  2699. [22:39] <TeslaTornado> Hayes considers his options. The warp drive would likely have an emergency manual activation sequence, which would require direct interfacing with the warp drive.
  2700. [22:39] <TeslaTornado> Wouldn't it?
  2701. [22:40] <Balthazaar> Muora frowns. "Cap, what the fuck are you doing?"
  2702. 01[22:40] <~Daedalus> You really don't have time to ponder your options as the ship is jerked into warp prematurely.
  2703. [22:40] <TeslaTornado> Hayes, who was already getting up to go to warp, is hurled across the bridge, the cables still plugged into the back of his head.
  2704. [22:40] <Nemi> << Premature-- warp hold on-- >>
  2705. 01[22:41] <~Daedalus> Gravity is off-line.
  2706. 01[22:41] <~Daedalus> All of the crew is being hurled across the bridge.
  2707. [22:41] <TeslaTornado> 4df+5 (AGI + Hop Skip) Hayes attempts to get control of himself in the zero-gee environment, activating the mag clamps on his boots.
  2708. [22:41] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (AGI + Hop Skip) Hayes attempts to get control of himself in the zero-gee environment, activating the mag clamps on his boots.: 5 (4df+5=3+, 0, 0, 4-)
  2709. 01[22:42] <~Daedalus> Mag boots activated! You're warping uncorded! This could be very bad if you don't stop it now.
  2710. [22:43] <TeslaTornado> 4df+9 (PROG + Longshot) Hayes attempts to interrupt the warp sequence and input coordinates.
  2711. [22:43] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PROG + Longshot) Hayes attempts to interrupt the warp sequence and input coordinates.: 7 (4df+9=0, 4-, 0, 4-)
  2712. [22:43] <Balthazaar> "Motherfucker!!!" Moura holds onto her large gun, keeping her finger well away from the trigger
  2713. [22:43] <TeslaTornado> He fights his way across the room back to his console, ignoring the fact that he essentially just got the worst case of whiplash in recorded history.
  2714. [22:44] <Nemi> Clarke is more alarmed at having control overidden than anything else.
  2715. 01[22:45] <~Daedalus> You manage to unlock your console, and interrupt the warp. Everything is jerked starboard as the ship quickly changes course.
  2716. [22:46] <TeslaTornado> "BRACE."
  2717. [22:46] <Balthazaar> Muora crashes into another wall
  2718. 01[22:46] <~Daedalus> Good thing too, you almost hit a gravity well.
  2719. [22:47] <TeslaTornado> Hayes immediately goes into Crisis Mode, engaging the ship's inertial dampers and rearranging the engines, primary, //and// secondary thrusters in order to perform a full momentum kill.
  2720. [22:47] <Nemi> If Clarke hadn't followed Grange's order to go dark, it'd probably be quite a bit more alarmed.
  2721. [22:48] <TeslaTornado> He pushes the Longshot for everything it has, not exactly having the ability to maneuver back in front of his console at the moment due to the Tokyo Drift he pulled out of warp.
  2722. 01[22:49] <~Daedalus> The ships engines //strain// and groan as you halt it. Several warning lights go off, flashing and beeping.
  2723. 01[22:49] <~Daedalus> Full stop.
  2724. [22:49] <TeslaTornado> A thin trickle of blood curls out of the corner of Hayes' right eye, for good measure.
  2725. 01[22:50] <~Daedalus> Everyone not buckled in is now thrown forward.
  2726. [22:51] <Balthazaar> Muora, feeling like ragdoll by this point, is flung forward, crashing into stuff with a shout
  2727. [22:51] <Bunton> <REQUEST: unit Clarke, please re-engage the airlocks at a convenient time.>
  2728. [22:52] <TeslaTornado> Hayes is also tossed toward the fore deck of the ship, though his boots likely make it difficult for him to actually be thrown.
  2729. 01[22:52] <~Daedalus> 2d45
  2730. [22:52] <Glacon> Daedalus: 39 (2d45=5, 34)
  2731. 01[22:52] <~Daedalus> The starboard engine takes more damage than the other.
  2732. 01[22:53] <~Daedalus> Then, everything is quiet.
  2733. 01[22:53] <~Daedalus> The view outside has returned to one of the stars.
  2734. [22:53] <Nemi> Clarke's everpresent hologram is still missing.
  2735. [22:54] <TeslaTornado> Hayes stands alone in the silence for a few moments, immobile. Then he takes a moment to dab the blood away from his eye with the cuff of his jumpsuit.
  2736. 01[22:54] <~Daedalus> Power comes back on, in spades and sporatically.
  2737. 01[22:54] <~Daedalus> There's lots of sparking from some of the consoles.
  2738. 01[22:54] <~Daedalus> Danvers picks himself up, "Ugghh."
  2739. [22:55] <Nemi> << .. re-engaging generators. Please stand by. >>
  2740. [22:55] <TeslaTornado> Hayes runs a damage assessment.
  2741. 01[22:56] <~Daedalus> Starboard engine 14% damaged. Life support 15% damaged. Hull integrity at 68%.
  2742. 01[22:56] <~Daedalus> Warp Drive.
  2743. 01[22:56] <~Daedalus> Inactive
  2744. [22:57] <Nemi> << ... initiating .. reconnection to active systems.. >>
  2745. [22:57] <Balthazaar> Muora groans and picks herself up slowly
  2746. [22:57] <TeslaTornado> "Starboard engines at 86% capacity. Life support at 85% capacity. Hull integrity at 68% capacity."
  2747. [22:57] <TeslaTornado> "Warp drive offline."
  2748. 01[22:57] <~Daedalus> Clarke, you're reconnected
  2749. 01[22:58] <~Daedalus> Danvers helps the Captain up.
  2750. [22:58] <TeslaTornado> Hayes looks at Danvers and the Captain. "I need drones on those starboard engines immediately."
  2751. 01[22:58] <~Daedalus> She's... not in the most emotionally stable state.
  2752. [22:58] <TeslaTornado> "Ninety percent capacity within the next eighteen hours."
  2753. [22:58] <Nemi> << .. and back online. Systems are limited capacity, but functional. Dispatching labour drones. >> Clarke's hologram has not yet reappeared.
  2754. [22:59] <TeslaTornado> Hayes nods on receipt of the comm from Clarke. "Any notable hull breaches or structural compromise?"
  2755. [22:59] <Nemi> << Working on it. >> Clarke is busily trying to reconnect to /everything/, and for that matter bring back up its map of the ship and its status.
  2756. [23:00] <TeslaTornado> "Right. Worry about getting back online, I'll handle it."
  2757. 01[23:00] <~Daedalus> "I'll get on it." He nods, pressing a few buttons on a not-broken console.
  2758. [23:00] <TeslaTornado> "Aye."
  2759. [23:01] <Bunton> <REPORT: I am currently free-floating. May require assistance.>
  2760. 01[23:01] <~Daedalus> The Captain just slumps into her chair, her head in her hands.
  2761. [23:01] <Nemi> Once Clarke reconnects properly it's time for a STATUS CHECK.
  2762. [23:01] <TeslaTornado> Hayes checks the long-range comms.
  2763. [23:01] <Bunton> <ADDENDUM: nevermind.>
  2764. [23:01] <Balthazaar> "The /fuck/ was that, Captain!? You nearly killed us!"
  2765. [23:01] <TeslaTornado> "Security officer, go tend to the captain."
  2766. 01[23:01] <~Daedalus> Long range comms at 10% capacity.
  2767. [23:01] <TeslaTornado> He turns on his heel and fixes Muora with a steely look and a dour frown.
  2768. [23:01] <Bunton> <QUERY: report from bridge?>
  2769. 01[23:01] <~Daedalus> They're probably good for communicating with any local systems, but too far.
  2770. [23:01] <TeslaTornado> "Do //not// verbally antagonize the captain or so help me Navigator I will tackle you through the nearest airlock and kill //both// of us."
  2771. [23:02] <Nemi> << .. only have starboard cargo and maintenance airlocks online, Astrogator. >>
  2772. [23:02] <Balthazaar> "I'll tend her into next week..." Muora mutters, going over and doing as told, grabbing the Captain into a hug and rubbing her back
  2773. [23:02] <TeslaTornado> "WHAT WAS THAT SECURITY CHIEF VICIATOR?"
  2774. [23:02] <TeslaTornado> "I COULDN'T HEAR YOU."
  2775. [23:02] <TeslaTornado> Hayes shouts this.
  2776. 01[23:03] <~Daedalus> Captain's sobbing at this point.
  2777. [23:03] <Bunton> <QUERY: is all well?>
  2778. 01[23:03] <~Daedalus> Danvers is controlling a few drones, fixing the engine.
  2779. [23:03] <TeslaTornado> "Clarke, long range communications are at ten percent. What can you do about that from in here?"
  2780. [23:03] <Bunton> <QUERY: any injuries or messes?>
  2781. [23:03] <TeslaTornado> "And shut that //fucking// janitor up."
  2782. [23:03] <Bunton> It's just text. :P
  2783. 01[23:03] <~Daedalus> Granges is currently nowhere to be found.
  2784. [23:03] <Bunton> It's just appearing on a screen.
  2785. [23:03] <TeslaTornado> Hayes is well aware of that.
  2786. [23:04] <Balthazaar> "Keep shouting at me at your own fucking peril, Hayes" Muora comments, hugging the Captain. "Shhh... It's okay... It's okay..."
  2787. [23:04] <Bunton> I guess it's making the IRC ping noise.
  2788. [23:04] <Nemi> << I will probably need assistance with getting the comms back up. I'm half-blind here. >> Clarke attempts to get a status check on the ship in general, if there's hull breaches or other significant and need-action damage.
  2789. [23:04] <TeslaTornado> "Confirmed, Clarke."
  2790. 01[23:06] <~Daedalus> Breach in Warp Core. Weapons systems operational. Long Range Comms malfunctioning.
  2791. [23:06] <TeslaTornado> Hayes sighs. He starts unplugging the peripheries for the Longshot from the back of his head and makes his way off the bridge.
  2792. 01[23:06] <~Daedalus> Air pressure stable. Temperature control stable.
  2793. [23:07] <Nemi> << .. we have a warp core breach. I would strongly advise not sending any organics or unshielded synthetics in there. Comms are malfunctioning, but aside from that we seem to be .. stable. >>
  2794. 02[23:07] * ShotgunFiend (uid28291@synIRC-6E7521DD.charlton.irccloud.com) Quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
  2795. [23:07] <TeslaTornado> <<Get the bug on it once he's operational again. I'm going to go out onto the hull and check the comms array.>>
  2796. [23:08] <Nemi> The holo-emitter on the bridge finally reactivates, displaying Clarke's usual avatar. It seems oddly composed despite the situation-- perhaps Clarke never bothered programming in 'alarmed' reactions? "Will do. Thank you, Astrogator."
  2797. [23:09] <Balthazaar> Muora holds the captain close, rocking her side to side
  2798. [23:09] <Bunton> <REQUEST: please provide a report of bridge status and obersvations of anomaly at earliest convenience.>
  2799. 01[23:09] <~Daedalus> Captain is now blubbering.
  2800. 01[23:09] <~Daedalus> Danvers controls some of the drones.
  2801. [23:10] <Nemi> << You'd have to ask the First Officer, Calvin. I don't believe the Captain nor Mister Grange are presently capable of answering. Speaking of.. >> Clarke attempts to locate Grange's bio-signature!
  2802. [23:10] <TeslaTornado> Hayes' console blips. << Testing. Testing, check one, check two. >>
  2803. [23:10] <Balthazaar> "Muora isn't quite sure what to do, so she just rubs her back and coos to her
  2804. [23:10] <Nemi> Clarke pings the console. << I read. >>
  2805. 01[23:10] <~Daedalus> Grange is in the cargo bay.
  2806. [23:11] <Nemi> Clarke attempts to engage local surveillance to see what Grange is up to. Cargo Bay is an odd place for the president and funder.
  2807. 01[23:11] <~Daedalus> He's apparently checking on the, *ahem*, Special cargo.
  2808. [23:12] <Nemi> Any breach from the Special Cargo container?
  2809. 01[23:12] <~Daedalus> Nope. Apparently they're keeping it in a better shielded and secure place than the rest of the ship.
  2810. [23:13] <Nemi> Clarke comms into the cargo bay in specific. << Mister Grange, I do not detect any breach from the special cargo container. >>
  2811. [23:13] <Bunton> Calvin is requesting access to the ship's video logs.
  2812. 01[23:13] <~Daedalus> ~I can-~ "I can see that."
  2813. 01[23:13] <~Daedalus> He double checks all systems anyway.
  2814. [23:14] <Nemi> Clarke, having been blind during the mystery event, is also examining the logs. It continues with Grange, << Potential gas or radiation release was a concern. >> Then to Calvin it forwards some of the logs-- probably nothing new to what the spacewalking bot saw.
  2815. [23:15] <Bunton> <QUERY: is officer Hayes aware information I provided allowed the ship valuable reaction time?>
  2816. [23:15] <DiePotato> Helia hurries onto the bridge clutching her medic bag.
  2817. [23:16] <Bunton> Calvin follows behind!
  2818. [23:16] <Nemi> << I'll let him know, Calvin. Thank you for picking up on that. >>
  2819. [23:16] <Bunton> This time he just writes on his datapad. <UNDERSTOOD>
  2820. [23:16] <Nemi> Then to Grange, on local comms rather than the intercom, << Sir, can I please ask what is in that special cargo? If it may jeopardize the functionality of this ship I /really/ need to be aware of what may go wrong. >>
  2821. [23:17] <Bunton> Calvin starts cleaning up bits of debris and mess.
  2822. [23:17] <DiePotato> When she sees the Captain and Muora she cautiously approaches. "Captain? It's the Doc. I'm going to give you something to calm you down okay?"
  2823. 01[23:17] <~Daedalus> "It's none of your concern."
  2824. [23:17] <Nemi> << .. as you wish, sir. >> Clarke drops it.
  2825. [23:18] <Nemi> Curse that conditioning to acquiese to authority.
  2826. [23:18] <Balthazaar> "Do it, Helia."
  2827. 01[23:19] <~Daedalus> Captain doesn't have much of an opinion on it.
  2828. [23:20] <DiePotato> Helia chimes acknowledgement and pulls a sedative. She gently sticks it into Cap's leg and presses down on the plunger. "It'll be all right Captain. Just sleep."
  2829. 01[23:21] <~Daedalus> She eventually drifts off and closes her eyes, her breathing calming slow and steady.
  2830. [23:21] <Nemi> The hologram looks to Danvers. "First Officer, permission to activate a distress signal? We are effectively dead in the water without a functional warp core and crippled long range comms."
  2831. [23:21] <Bunton> Where's Danvers?
  2832. [23:21] <Bunton> Oh, derp.
  2833. [23:22] <Nemi> Meanwhile, Clarke attempts to corroborate local stellar data to try to figure out where the heck they are.
  2834. 01[23:22] <~Daedalus> He's at a console, working the drones and fixing the engines.
  2835. [23:22] <DiePotato> Helia takes her vital signs making sure she's fine. "She's stable... Physically. Psyche on the other hand... Eh."
  2836. 01[23:22] <~Daedalus> "Yea, go right ahead."
  2837. 01[23:22] <~Daedalus> "Put Reagan back in her room."
  2838. [23:22] <Bunton> Calvin rolls up. *scribble*
  2839. [23:22] <Nemi> "Understood, First Officer." Clarke shall attempt to activate the distress beacon!
  2840. [23:23] <Bunton> <SUGGESTION: captain Reagan be placed under observation and containment until such time as we are able to verify she will not harm other crew members.>
  2841. [23:23] <DiePotato> "No infirmary. Need to make sure the Captain will be fine." Helia clicks the needle back into the syringe.
  2842. 01[23:23] <~Daedalus> "No." He says, with an edge to his voice, "She's fine."
  2843. 01[23:24] <~Daedalus> "I beg to differ, Mr. Danvers." Mr. Grange intones, as he steps onto the bridge.
  2844. [23:24] <Nemi> Can Clarke reasonably figure out where they are with available sensory data versus known galaxy map?
  2845. 01[23:24] <~Daedalus> "Have her confined to the infirmary, Ms. Helia."
  2846. [23:24] <Bunton> Oh also Calvin forwards his video logs to Clarke.
  2847. [23:24] <Nemi> Clarke shall examine said logs with interest. The frames of the... visual anomaly in particular.
  2848. [23:25] <DiePotato> Helia turns. "Thank you Grey." To Muora. "Help me. Can't heft her myself."
  2849. 01[23:25] <~Daedalus> "You son of a bitch."He shakes his head at Mr. Grey, then turns to Muora, "Put her the fuck down, that's an order."
  2850. [23:26] <Bunton> Calvin puts a hand on Danvers shoulder and beeps sadly.
  2851. 01[23:26] <~Daedalus> Clarke, the digital image is corrupted.
  2852. [23:26] <Bunton> Well, tries to.
  2853. [23:26] <Bunton> Danvers is probably standing up at his full height and Calvin's only 3 feet tall.
  2854. [23:26] <DiePotato> "She's going to the fucking //infirmary//." Helia chimes aggressively
  2855. [23:27] <Nemi> ".. interesting. Calvin sent me some visual data of the.. anomaly. It's hopelessly corrupted." Clarke is still trying to corroborate available information to figure out where they might be. If it's nowhere recognizable.. wellllll..
  2856. [23:27] <Balthazaar> Muora, standing with the captain in her arms, looks confused. "Okay, this is bullshit, what the fuck is happening?"
  2857. 01[23:28] <~Daedalus> Clarke, you're not picking up any astronav signals.
  2858. [23:28] <Nemi> ".. be advised, I am not picking up astro-navigation signals. I have absolutely no idea where we are."
  2859. 01[23:28] <~Daedalus> And the nav computer is glitching out a bit.
  2860. [23:28] <DiePotato> "Infirmary, Muora. Now." Helia sounds... Different.
  2861. [23:29] <Bunton> <SUGGESTION: I agree with medical officer Helia.>
  2862. [23:29] <Nemi> Clarke shall send a sub-process to prod at the nav computer. What's wrong with /you?/
  2863. [23:29] <Bunton> Is Danvers baton on his person?
  2864. 01[23:29] <~Daedalus> "Fuck! Fine! I don't have time for this shit!"
  2865. 01[23:29] <~Daedalus> He goes back to his console, working to repair the hull again.
  2866. [23:30] <DiePotato> Helia leads the way to the Infirmary. "Come."
  2867. [23:30] <Nemi> Clarke shall try to dig up the last known astronavigation coordinates and trajectory while prodding at the computer's glitchy self.
  2868. [23:30] <Bunton> <QUERY: unit Clarke, should I aid officer Hayes with assessment and repairs?>
  2869. [23:31] <Balthazaar> Muora sighs, carrying the Captain the the infirmary
  2870. [23:31] <Nemi> << Negative, Calvin. We have internal damage enough that needs examination and I am not presently capable. >>
  2871. [23:32] <Bunton> <QUERY: what is the highest priority that I am capable of assisting in?>
  2872. [23:33] <Nemi> < Life support is presently at limited functionality. For the sake of our organic crew, that should be repaired as soon as possible. Artigrav is a secondary concern. >
  2873. [23:33] <Bunton> <RESPONSE: understood. Will report to life support systems.>
  2874. [23:33] <Bunton> Calvins heads off!
  2875. 01[23:34] <~Daedalus> Gravity currently at 60% capacity.
  2876. [23:34] <Bunton> Ah, so we're at 0.6 go.
  2877. [23:34] <Bunton> He rolls then!
  2878. [23:34] <Bunton> *0.6g
  2879. [23:34] <Nemi> That's fine. Clarke is more interestred in what's up with the nav computer. Namely, last known input coordinates and trajectory.
  2880. [23:35] <TeslaTornado> Hayes arrives back on the bridge in due time.
  2881. [23:36] <TeslaTornado> He wordlessly plugs himself back into the nav systems.
  2882. 01[23:36] <~Daedalus> Clarke, last known coordinates are corrupted, but you get a good idea on what the trajectory is.
  2883. [23:37] <TeslaTornado> Hayes consults his Longshot for a backup of the last nav coordinates.
  2884. [23:37] <TeslaTornado> Likely also corrupted - as viruses don't just stay in one OS, they like to hop around - but it's worth a shot.
  2885. 01[23:38] <~Daedalus> Roll skill!
  2886. [23:38] <TeslaTornado> 4df+4 (Longshot) Data miniiiiing
  2887. [23:38] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (Longshot) Data miniiiiing: 5 (4df+4=0, 0, 3+, 0)
  2888. 01[23:39] <~Daedalus> Last known Coordinates are a bit clearer now. You were in an uncharted section of the galaxy, then the coordinate signal jumped everywhere.
  2889. [23:39] <Nemi> "Well," Clarke transmits to Hayes, both audibly and via internal computer contact. "Coordinates are hopelessly corrupted, again, but I have our trajectory." It's transmitted!
  2890. [23:39] <TeslaTornado> "And I have a //vague// idea of where we were."
  2891. [23:40] <TeslaTornado> Hayes calls up a stellar map and attempts to dead-reckon his way back to the dreadnought wreck via Clarke's trajectory information and his own inkling of the jump entry point.
  2892. 01[23:40] <~Daedalus> Captain was the one to lock you out of your console, using an override command. She then initiated the jump sequence without properly letting the engine vent. The resulting heat from the unprepared jump as well as the directional change caused the engine to, well, explode.
  2893. [23:41] <TeslaTornado> "........"
  2894. [23:41] <TeslaTornado> "... Son of a //bitch//."
  2895. [23:42] <Bunton> Spacechat pings, <REPORT: life support systems now functional.>
  2896. [23:42] <Bunton> <QUERY: what is next task requiring attention?>
  2897. [23:42] <Nemi> << Excellent work. Presently would advise shoring up hull breaches, especially in the.. former warp core housing. >>
  2898. [23:43] <Bunton> <RESPONSE: understood.>
  2899. [23:44] <TeslaTornado> Hayes makes a backup of the data reports incriminating Captain Arche as the source of his lockout and forwards it to Clarke and Danvers.
  2900. [23:44] <TeslaTornado> Then he goes back to his astral fly-by-wire adventure.
  2901. 01[23:44] <~Daedalus> "Housing chamber is sealed, just need to weld the hole shut."
  2902. [23:45] <Nemi> "Understood. Transmitting on." Clarke's hologram looks briefly perplexed, halting all animation for a brief time. It sends a direct ping to Hayes- << What were the Captain's actions during the time I was running dark? >>
  2903. [23:46] <TeslaTornado> << Check the file I just sent you. Long story short, she locked me out, jumped us, and then didn't vent the engines. So when I took us //out// of the warp, the core blew. >>
  2904. [23:46] <TeslaTornado> << ... My fault. >>
  2905. [23:47] <TeslaTornado> 4df+9 (PROG + Longshot) At his console, Hayes continues the process of reverse-mapping their last known coordinates.
  2906. [23:47] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PROG + Longshot) At his console, Hayes continues the process of reverse-mapping their last known coordinates.: 7 (4df+9=4-, 0, 0, 4-)
  2907. 01[23:48] <~Daedalus> Where every you are is largely uncharted.
  2908. 01[23:48] <~Daedalus> where ever
  2909. [23:48] <Nemi> << As I understand Captain Arche is presently in the medbay for psychological trauma. Something must have hit her /hard/ to make her override /both/ of us. >>
  2910. [23:49] <TeslaTornado> << And we're in wild space now. >>
  2911. [23:49] <TeslaTornado> << Here be dragons, et cetera. >>
  2912. [23:50] <Nemi> << We stand on the precipice of new knowledge of the boundless scope of our galaxy. Or being left adrift and suffering a heat death. Either or. >>
  2913. [23:50] <TeslaTornado> << Knowledge isn't worth much without that comms relay online. >>
  2914. [23:50] <TeslaTornado> Hayes sighs.
  2915. [23:53] <Nemi> << Oh, I don't know. We could leave records in convenient data-pads strewn about in regular intervals along a linear path through the ship for salvagers to come by. >>
  2916. [23:54] <Bunton> <REPORT: signal detected. Forwarding.>
  2917. [23:54] <TeslaTornado> Clarke will notice a process start up for about twelve seconds on Hayes' console.
  2918. [23:54] <TeslaTornado> Calculating the drift speed and direction that a string of datapads would possess.
  2919. [23:55] <Nemi> << I was being facetious. Goodness, you are not up on your early Terran science fiction, are you? >> There's some of that old wryness back.
  2920. [23:55] <TeslaTornado> << Forgive me, between you and I the two of us are basically running the whole ship right now. >>
  2921. [23:56] <TeslaTornado> << I don't have the advantage of compartmentalized consciousness, and it was also my decision to supercharge the warp core. >>
  2922. [23:56] <TeslaTornado> << Which contributed to the catastrophic meltdown. >>
  2923. 01[23:56] <~Daedalus> "Fuck you. It's not like I'm sittin' here jackin' off."
  2924. [23:56] <TeslaTornado> << Which led us here. >>
  2925. 01[23:56] <~Daedalus> Danvers says from his console.

  2927. [23:57] <Nemi> "Apologies, first officer. .. by the by, Calvin has picked up on another anomalous signal. ... It sounds like Terran music. 'Delta blues', pre-Contact. What that is doing out here I cannot imagine."
  2928. [23:57] <TeslaTornado> "Gypsy swing, more accurately."
  2929. [23:57] <TeslaTornado> "An' givin' us somethin' to look for."
  2930. [23:58] <Nemi> "Gypsy swing? Hm. Will update my entry on that."

  2938. Session Time: Sat Apr 18 00:00:00 2015
  2939. [00:00] <Nemi> "Rather pleasant, actually. Nice change from the bloodcurdling screaming."
  2940. [00:00] <TeslaTornado> "Speaking of that."
  2941. [00:01] <Nemi> "Yes. The screaming coming from the ship."
  2942. [00:01] <TeslaTornado> "Clarke, I'm going to go make sure the captain is okay. Can you hold the lock on that signal and get us on course?"
  2943. [00:01] <Nemi> "Yes, Astrogator."
  2944. [00:01] <Bunton> <REPORT: weld nearly complete. Returning to the ship now.>
  2945. [00:01] <TeslaTornado> "Thanks, Clarke."
  2946. [00:01] <Nemi> Clarke will attempt to do just that!
  2947. [00:02] <TeslaTornado> "And... Next time I try to overcharge the warp drive to get us out of system?"
  2948. [00:02] <TeslaTornado> "Just... Please. Lock me out. Before this happens again."
  2949. [00:02] <Nemi> "I'll be sure not to go dark beforehand, no problem." The hologram smirks at Hayes.
  2950. [00:02] <TeslaTornado> Hayes looks at Clarke, slightly crestfallen.
  2951. [00:02] <TeslaTornado> "Yeah."
  2952. [00:02] <TeslaTornado> "I'll be back."
  2953. [00:03] <TeslaTornado> He unplugs himself from the nav console and heads off the bridge, toward Medical.
  2954. 01[00:05] <~Daedalus> Danvers shakes his head.
  2955. 01[00:05] <~Daedalus> He recalls the drones for now
  2956. 01[00:05] <~Daedalus> And lowers his head.
  2957. [00:06] <Nemi> "First Officer?"
  2958. [00:06] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar looks concerned, glowing reddish-pink in the otherwise dull bridge.
  2959. 01[00:06] <~Daedalus> He rubs his head, and stands, "This was my fault."
  2960. [00:07] <Nemi> "I doubt you could have predicted some sort of ... stellar anomaly accompanying a derelict dreadnaught, First Officer. That was a panic situation for all involved."
  2961. 01[00:08] <~Daedalus> He kicks over a chair, "Fuck me! I knew she couldn't handle it! I knew she wasn't ready... fuck. I let her be Captain anyway..."
  2962. [00:09] <Nemi> The hologram's head tilts. "First Officer, who /can/ be ready for an incident like that?"
  2963. 01[00:09] <~Daedalus> He takes a seat, "You've read our file, haven't you?"
  2964. 01[00:10] <~Daedalus> He sighs, "You know... all about Rosenthal?"
  2965. [00:11] <Nemi> Clarke takes a moment. ".. Yes, First Officer. I am aware of your history with Captain Arche. I kept it to myself as I did not want to undermine the crew's confidence with its leadership."
  2966. [00:12] <TeslaTornado> Eventually, Hayes meanders back onto the bridge. He doesn't bother plugging back in, he just perches on the edge of his chair.
  2967. [00:15] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar, still shrouded in its persistant halo of data and flickering windows, clasps its hands before itself and looks somber.
  2968. [00:19] <Nemi> "Know this, First Officer. Astrogator. Though I may play at malice I /am/ as much the ship as its crew. If there is anything troubling you, know that I can listen, and I've had enough crews to know a bit about how things work. If there's anything I can do to make this vessel operate more smoothly.."
  2969. [00:19] <TeslaTornado> "Know any good burger joints around here?"
  2970. [00:20] <Nemi> "Unfortunately, the last GroxKing Burger's 'n' More out here shut down ten cycles back. Not enough traffic."
  2971. 01[00:20] <~Daedalus> Danvers chuckles, "Heheh. Oh, //fuck you//, heh."
  2972. [00:21] <TeslaTornado> "Hey, I figure if we're going to end up on half-rations then I may as well ask."
  2973. [00:21] <Nemi> "Sir, with all due respect, I do not have the physical capacity to fuck anyone. I went over this with the Astrogator some cycles ago."
  2974. [00:21] <TeslaTornado> "Not like we can just go off ship an' shoot the local wildlife."
  2975. 01[00:22] <~Daedalus> "We got enough for a week. Assumin' no one eats more than their fat ass can take."
  2976. [00:22] <Nemi> "Failing that, I have calculated which personnel are most nutritious and least essential for the ship's operation."
  2977. [00:22] <TeslaTornado> "Not me. Too gamey."
  2978. 01[00:23] <~Daedalus> "I ain't eatin' the Phaleg."
  2979. 01[00:23] <~Daedalus> "I'll shoot 'em, but I won't eat 'em."
  2980. [00:23] <TeslaTornado> "Just let 'em fix the warp core before you go making target practice of him, aye?"
  2981. 01[00:24] <~Daedalus> "So... anyone been down there?"
  2982. 01[00:24] <~Daedalus> "See how bad the damage is?"
  2983. [00:24] <TeslaTornado> "I walked the exterior."
  2984. [00:24] <Nemi> "Well. After the Lurker, it's the Phaleg." The hologram nods, sagely. It is completely deadpan. "Fortunately, if experience is anything to go by, the point where you are considering cannibalism you become much less picky in your choice of.. Ah. Calvin took a look. It's sealed, but the core is.. well, more or less gone."
  2985. 03[00:24] * Bunton is now known as BuntSleeps
  2986. 01[00:25] <~Daedalus> "Fuck... that was a duel core cold fission upgrade. If it's not fixable, we need a new one."
  2987. [00:25] <Nemi> "I have assembled a list of necessary parts. None of which are within our capacity for fabrication. Let's hope that there's a Far Rim or Confederacy colony out here, hm?"
  2988. [00:26] <TeslaTornado> "Hence our tack towards Planet Jazz." Hayes continues perching, looking at the slowly swirling galaxy map projection over his station.
  2989. 01[00:27] <~Daedalus> "I say we recover first... get our bearings. Maybe sit here where they can't detect us for a cycle or two."
  2990. [00:27] <Nemi> That Clarke. So thoughtful. "Quite. I'm hoping it tends toward the Far Rim colonies' tendency toward ... hearkening back to Terra's golden age, and is not instead some sort of alien intelligence broadcasting sound signals it picked up a thousand years ago."
  2991. [00:27] <TeslaTornado> "Wouldn't that second one be neat, though?"
  2992. [00:27] <TeslaTornado> Hayes yawns daintily.
  2993. 01[00:28] <~Daedalus> "Alright, set the autopilot, if it's still online, to keep our position opposite the signal. We don't know what we're dealin' with."
  2994. [00:28] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram smirks. "Sir, with all respect, I have plenty of bearings and the bearings of the organic crew are less important than the necessary time limit imposed by time and supplies. And yes, it would be interesting. The sort of thing that anyone who finds our deleict would be /fascinated/ to find out."
  2995. [00:28] <Nemi> [ derelict* rather
  2996. [00:29] <Nemi> "Very well. Initiating automated navigation."
  2997. [00:32] <Nemi> "Alright. I need to perform some deep scans and thorough diagnostics to see if we have any further damage. I may be unresponsive for some time."
  2998. [00:33] <TeslaTornado> Hayes nods. "Sleepy kitty. I'm going to try to rest a bit."
  2999. [00:33] <TeslaTornado> "My communicator is always on. Let me know what's up. And... Danvers. Make sure the captain is okay."
  3000. [00:33] <Nemi> "Will do. Ciao-ciao." The hologram clicks out.
  3001. 01[00:33] <~Daedalus> "I... will. Bye."

  3017. [10:47] <TeslaTornado> A milennia later, another descendant of Harris Southey does another kind of maintenance work.
  3018. [10:48] <TeslaTornado> Hayes is on the bridge, his jumpsuit's upper half tied off at the waist and toolbelt laid out in front of him, elbow-deep in one of the command stations that were acting up after the warp break this morning.
  3019. [10:53] <TeslaTornado> 4df+9 (PROG + Longshot) He runs a basic scan of his current console, checking for damaged components or software.
  3020. [10:53] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PROG + Longshot) He runs a basic scan of his current console, checking for damaged components or software.: 10 (4df+9=4-, 3+, 3+, 0)
  3021. [11:00] <TeslaTornado> He does a pretty good job with his diagnostic routine, and proceeds to set workarounds for the damage and un-fuck corrupted software.
  3022. [11:07] <TeslaTornado> Eventually, full or partial functionality is restored to all affected stations on the bridge.
  3023. [11:10] <Bunton> Calvin rolls on to the bridge!
  3024. [11:11] <TeslaTornado> Hayes lets out a slow sigh and leans against one of the bulkheads. He hasn't slept since last cycle's festivities, despite his attempt to do so. Rather than sleeping, Hayes ended up aimlessly wandering the ship performing damage assessments for the entire cycle, finally ending up back on the bridge a few hours ago, where he's been debugging ever since.
  3025. [11:13] <Bunton> He scribbles out a message on his datapad. <INFORMAL: thank you for saving our lives, officer Hayes. I hope the information I was able to provide while outside the ship before you went into hyperspace was valuable.>
  3026. [11:13] <TeslaTornado> Hayes looks down at Calvin and reads the message. He sniffs and lets out a yawn.
  3027. [11:13] <TeslaTornado> "... Yeah."
  3028. [11:14] <TeslaTornado> "yeah, it helped."
  3029. [11:14] <TeslaTornado> "... Thanks."
  3030. [11:14] <Bunton> <QUERY: do you require any other assistance? I was able to get the life support systems fully operational, and oversee general repairs.>
  3031. [11:15] <TeslaTornado> "No, I'm good."
  3032. [11:15] <TeslaTornado> "See if the warp drive team needs an assist, I have the bridge on lock."
  3033. [11:16] <Bunton> <RESPONSE: understood.>
  3034. [11:16] <Bunton> <QUERY: would you like a coffee or other hot drink? You appear to be suffering from sleep deprivation.>
  3035. [11:16] <TeslaTornado> "G'won with you."
  3036. [11:16] <TeslaTornado> "Get."
  3037. [11:16] <Bunton> Calvin beeps and rolls away.
  3038. [11:32] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram flickers to life, the faint but everpresent electrical hum of the emitter joining the soft beeps and humms of bridge equipment.
  3039. [11:33] <TeslaTornado> Hayes is asleep against the portside bulkhead.
  3040. [11:38] <Nemi> Clarke opts to.. well, let the astrogator be.

  3061. [17:41] <gumbal1> Ash is doing a good job guarding the bridge.
  3062. [17:41] <gumbal1> What a wonderful day it is to guard the bridge.
  3063. [17:42] <Bunton> Has he had any trouble with bridge-thieves?
  3064. [17:42] <gumbal1> Ash wouldn't know, as they currently aren't looking out a window on account of needing to guard the bridge.
  3065. [17:43] <Prior> Ash's dataslate bleeps.
  3066. [17:43] <gumbal1> ~Shit, what is it now?~ Ash examines it.
  3067. [17:45] <Prior> <<I got a ping about ship security, restraining the captain. If I do that Danvers /will/ have me shot, but he likes you a lot more. Might want to go and see Helia about that. Renee.>>
  3068. [17:45] <gumbal1> Ash blinks.
  3069. [17:46] <gumbal1> Ash makes a note to the Isiah (Fucking layabout) to come over and guard the bridge in their absence while they go check the disturbance.
  3070. [17:48] <Prior> Assuming Isiah refers to Descartes, she receives the reply of <<More than happy to.>> He enters the bridge shortly after she leaves.
  3071. [17:48] <gumbal1> Isiah does not, in facct, refer to Descartes.

  3137. 01[14:45] <Daedalus> Though... there's something there.
  3138. [14:45] <TeslaTornado> "Might's well have been - ohp, hold on."
  3139. [14:45] <TeslaTornado> "... You're new."
  3140. [14:46] <TeslaTornado> Hayes isolates the file and puts it onto a partition in the Longshot, then checks the new thing out.
  3141. 01[14:46] <Daedalus> Sound file, repeating. It's copying itself, pasting itself, then erasing the old file. It does this quicky.
  3142. 01[14:46] <Daedalus> quickly.
  3143. 01[14:46] <Daedalus> It's encrypted.

  3146. 01[14:47] <Daedalus> Well, you've heard this sound before.
  3147. [14:47] <TeslaTornado> Is Hayes about to go deaf again.
  3148. 01[14:47] <Daedalus> <<AAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA>> Comes the screeching.
  3149. 01[14:49] <Daedalus> It's just a file.

  3152. 01[14:50] <Daedalus> It didn't come from the relay, so don't you worry.
  3153. [14:50] <TeslaTornado> "He-ey, Danvers..."
  3154. [14:50] <TeslaTornado> "Uh..."
  3155. 01[14:50] <Daedalus> "Yeah?"
  3156. 01[14:50] <Daedalus> Hayes.
  3157. [14:50] <TeslaTornado> "I, uh... Think I got a message for you."
  3158. 01[14:51] <Daedalus> A small light blinks on your console. It can't identify the file you've encryped, but it's found similar ones.

  3184. 01[15:01] <Daedalus> "You still got access?"
  3185. [15:01] <TeslaTornado> "Clarke, this is one helluva time for you to be on the shitter."
  3186. [15:01] <TeslaTornado> Does he?
  3187. 01[15:01] <Daedalus> The filewalls are effective in stopping the files from reaching the life support, and yes you still have access.
  3188. 01[15:01] <Daedalus> The engines are still moving you.
  3189. 01[15:01] <Daedalus> Jump phase 1 initiated.

  3194. [15:02] <TeslaTornado> "Danvers we aRE JUMPING."
  3195. 01[15:02] <Daedalus> "I FUCKIN' SEE THAT." He shouts.

  3211. [15:07] <TeslaTornado> "Danvers, go shut off the main computer!"

  3217. [15:09] <Bunton> Oh also Calvin can fly now. He has a hoverpack.
  3218. [15:09] <TeslaTornado> Hayes is focused on his computer screen at the moment.

  3221. [15:09] <Bunton> And magnets himself.
  3222. 01[15:09] <Daedalus> This is an effective way to delay it, but you can only do it so many times.
  3223. 01[15:10] <Daedalus> Danvers has currently run to the lower deck.

  3226. [15:10] <Bunton> Calvin unmagnets and follows Danvers!
  3227. 01[15:12] <Daedalus> Whole sections of the system go dark as Danvers disconnects them forcefully.

  3248. 01[15:17] <Daedalus> The ship is dark now.
  3249. [15:18] <TeslaTornado> Hayes is...
  3250. [15:18] <TeslaTornado> Well, he's a computer.
  3251. [15:18] <TeslaTornado> Plugged into the ship.
  3252. [15:18] <TeslaTornado> Which now has no computer.

  3261. [15:20] <TeslaTornado> Blood flows from one of Hayes' nostrils.
  3262. [15:20] <TeslaTornado> "Fu-ghk..."
  3263. 01[15:21] <Daedalus> Danvers heads back to the bridge, "Status?"
  3264. [15:21] <Nemi> The usually everpresent Clarke is.. not there. At all.
  3265. [15:22] <TeslaTornado> Hayes is staring blankly at the screen in front of him. There's blood on his face and the front of his jumpsuit but he's still breathing.
  3266. [15:22] <Bunton> Calvin rolls in after him.
  3267. [15:22] <Bunton> He rolls up to Hayes and checks him.
  3268. 01[15:22] <Daedalus> "Hayes? Oi!"
  3269. [15:22] <TeslaTornado> His vitals are all there.
  3270. [15:22] <Bunton> <QUERY: Astroagator Hayes, are you alright?>
  3271. 01[15:23] <Daedalus> He goes over to him and checks his pulse.
  3272. 01[15:23] <Daedalus> "You alright?""
  3273. [15:23] <TeslaTornado> He lets out a groan and gives Calvin a halfhearted shove away from his station.
  3274. [15:23] <TeslaTornado> "F'koff."
  3275. 01[15:23] <Daedalus> "Well, we ain't jumpin."
  3276. [15:23] <TeslaTornado> His pulse is higher than normal. He blinks slowly.
  3277. [15:24] <TeslaTornado> 4df+9 (PROG + Longshot) He runs a diagnostic on his brain and the computer attached to his brain.

  3279. [15:24] <Bunton> Calvin rolls back and heads off to get Helia.
  3280. 01[15:24] <Daedalus> He sighs, and sits hard on the ground, "What the fuck..." Heavy breathing, "Was that?"
  3281. [15:24] <TeslaTornado> "Ahnno..."
  3282. 01[15:25] <Daedalus> Minor damage to the spinal coloumn due to overheating issues, but none to the spinal cord.
  3283. 01[15:25] <Daedalus> "Fuck... me... standing..."
  3284. [15:25] <TeslaTornado> Hayes goes to stand up, his head swirling and black rings dancing at the edge of his vision.
  3285. [15:26] <TeslaTornado> He unplugs himself from the astrogation console and goes down to the computer bank.
  3286. [15:26] <Nemi> One of Clarke's smaller relays buzzes to life. < Right. I am /annoyed/. What's the ship's status? I'm completely blind here. >
  3287. 01[15:27] <Daedalus> Danvers drags himself to his chair, "Fuckin' jumpin'..." He fumbles with his pills, "Fucker... fucking..."
  3288. 01[15:30] <Daedalus> He pops one, trying to relax himself.
  3289. 03[15:57] * Bunton is now known as BuntSleeos
  3290. 03[15:57] * BuntSleeos is now known as BuntSleeps
  3291. [16:08] <TeslaTornado> Hayes limps back up to the bridge.
  3292. 01[16:09] <Daedalus> Danvers is staring out the window, but then glances back upon hearing the door open. "Hayes."
  3293. 01[16:09] <Daedalus> He tries to help him.
  3294. [16:11] <TeslaTornado> Hayes, who is disoriented from degravitation, headache, spinal pain and having his head assaulted with a folder bomb, looks.
  3295. 03[16:13] * Tesla (Mibbit@synIRC-C3718AF7.static.twtelecom.net) has joined #AtlasOne-IC

  3298. 03[16:14] * Tesla is now known as TeslaTornado
  3299. 01[16:14] <Daedalus> There's a planet in full view of the ship. It's green and forested, by the looks of it, but that's not the most notable thing about it.
  3300. [16:15] <TeslaTornado> Hayes focuses on the Most Notable Thing.
  3301. 01[16:15] <Daedalus> There's a giant ring rotating around the planet, much like the one around Saturn, but this one appears to be made of debris of ships rather than ice particulates.
  3302. [16:16] <TeslaTornado> "... Mother //fuck//."
  3303. 01[16:16] <Daedalus> "Yeah, this is where our signal was coming from."
  3304. [16:16] <TeslaTornado> Hayes scamper-limps over to his station and starts scanning the wreckage for a warp signature similar to Atlas'.
  3305. [16:16] <TeslaTornado> There's gotta be a warp drive the same as hers in that field somewhere.
  3306. 01[16:18] <Daedalus> You don't just pick up a warp signal, you pick up everything. Radio chatter, music, distress signals.
  3307. [16:19] <TeslaTornado> "Ohhhh shit..."
  3308. [16:19] <TeslaTornado> Hayes starts answering distress signals rapid fire.
  3309. [16:20] <TeslaTornado> 4df+9 (PROG + Longshot) He's not a comms expert, but he opens up five or six lines at a time, chattering through each of them, hoping for a response.

  3348. 01[16:39] <Daedalus> Danvers fiddles with his console, "Where the fuck are we?"
  3349. [16:39] <TeslaTornado> Hayes moves over to the piloting station and kind of hems and haws for a few moments, reacquainting himself with the controls.
  3350. [16:40] <TeslaTornado> He looks up at Danvers as he fires the station up. "Uhmm... The comms guy said a place called 'Detritus'."
  3351. 01[16:40] <Daedalus> "Never heard of it."
  3352. [16:43] <TeslaTornado> 4df+4 (Heard it in a bar once) Detritus...?
  3353. [16:43] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (Heard it in a bar once) Detritus...?: 3 (4df+4=4-, 0, 4-, 3+)
  3354. 01[16:43] <Daedalus> There's only a mention of this planet. Once, a long time ago.
  3355. 01[16:44] <Daedalus> A story about bandits and pirates.
  3356. [16:44] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram finally reactivates. "Uuuuuugh what was /that/ all about? It took me until now just to get everything reconnected. Manually. ... Where in the Makers are we?"
  3357. [16:59] <TeslaTornado> "Detritus."
  3358. [17:00] <TeslaTornado> "An old fairy tale, 'r so I thought."
  3359. [17:00] <TeslaTornado> 4df+4 (Piloting) Hayes pilots Atlas over to Thanatos-23.
  3360. [17:00] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (Piloting) Hayes pilots Atlas over to Thanatos-23.: 4 (4df+4=0, 4-, 3+, 0)
  3361. [17:02] <Nemi> "Right. Okay. You handle the piloting, I'm going to .. work on fixing everything.. /again/.."
  3362. [17:02] <TeslaTornado> "Yeah."
  3363. [17:02] <TeslaTornado> "Sorry."
  3364. 01[17:02] <Daedalus> There it is, what looks like a space station/dock with a giant-ass hole in one side. There's several and greatly various ships around, some of them in orbit around the station and some of them docked.
  3365. [17:03] <TeslaTornado> Hayes grimaces. "That isn't structurally sound at all."
  3366. 01[17:03] <Daedalus> The lights there are on, at least.
  3367. 01[17:03] <Daedalus> Some of them.
  3368. [17:03] <TeslaTornado> << Thanatos-23, this is Hermes Interstellar Shipping Company expeditionary vessel Atlas One, we were cleared to dock. >>
  3369. 01[17:04] <Daedalus> There's a bay for medium ships there, <<Yeah, Deacon cleared you. Report to dock 21b.>>
  3370. [17:04] <TeslaTornado> << Affirmative, Thanatos-23. >>
  3371. [17:07] <TeslaTornado> 4df+4 (Piloting) Hayes Rothford: Gets you there.
  3372. [17:07] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (Piloting) Hayes Rothford: Gets you there.: 3 (4df+4=4-, 4-, 0, 3+)
  3373. 01[17:07] <Daedalus> You get there, eventually. Perception.
  3374. [17:08] <TeslaTornado> 4df+4 (PERC) Oh boy.
  3375. [17:08] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PERC) Oh boy.: 5 (4df+4=4-, 0, 3+, 3+)
  3376. 01[17:09] <Daedalus> This place has Defence arrays. Only Council (The council of the Grey Men, that is) planets have those. These appear to be painted a different color.
  3377. [17:10] <TeslaTornado> "Ooo-kay, so we're dealing with independents."
  3378. [17:10] <TeslaTornado> "//Armed//. Independents."
  3379. [17:11] <TeslaTornado> Hayes grimaces more at the guns. ~So they strapped fuckin' defensive guns to this thing but they didn't bother to shore up the gaping hole in their station?~
  3380. [17:11] <TeslaTornado> ~Brilliant.~
  3381. [17:13] <Nemi> "Oh. So like the people I worked with for most of my operational history. Lovely."
  3382. 01[17:13] <Daedalus> You reach the dock soon enough.
  3383. 01[17:13] <Daedalus> Two smaller ships flank your sides as you enter.

  3387. [17:16] <TeslaTornado> "Hey, at this point, they could be horrifyin' tentacle rape beasts an' I'd gladly bend over an' spread my cheeks as long as they gave us a warp drive."
  3388. [17:16] <TeslaTornado> Hayes initiates the docking procedure.
  3389. [17:20] <TeslaTornado> << Thanatos-23, Atlas One. Initiating docking procedure. >>
  3390. [17:20] <TeslaTornado> << Be gentle with us. >>
  3391. 01[17:20] <Daedalus> <<Don't worry, we got lottsa lube down here.>> A couple of chuckles.
  3392. [17:21] <TeslaTornado> Hayes cackles.
  3393. [17:21] <TeslaTornado> << Figgered you wouldn't need it, consid'rin' how fucked we all are. >>
  3394. 01[17:23] <Daedalus> You're safely through the docking port force shield and in the small bay.
  3395. [17:31] <TeslaTornado> Harris looks for the docking umbilical or landing pad or whatever they're using to get to the station.
  3396. 01[17:31] <Daedalus> Hybrid umbilical pad.
  3397. 01[17:31] <Daedalus> You can get out through the cargo bay doors, or the docking doors.
  3398. [17:32] <TeslaTornado> (It's like the old-Earth invention referred to as an "Airport terminal")
  3399. [17:32] <TeslaTornado> Hayes puts her down.
  3400. 01[17:32] <Daedalus> Yus :P
  3401. [17:33] <Nemi> "Oookay. Systems seem.. alright. Will need to check again after the whole /complete power shutoff/ bit. C'est la vie."
  3402. 01[17:33] <Daedalus> <<Alright, Atlas. You're good.>>
  3403. [17:33] <TeslaTornado> Hayes looks up at Clarke, frowning.
  3404. 01[17:33] <Daedalus> <<We'll have a welcome party set up.>>
  3405. [17:33] <TeslaTornado> "Hey, the audio from the fuckin' starry leviathan what brought us here started playin' when our jumps got plotted out."
  3406. 01[17:33] <Daedalus> Danvers frowns, "I dunno if I like the sound of that."
  3407. [17:34] <TeslaTornado> "I panicked."
  3408. [17:34] <TeslaTornado> Hayes turns and looks at Danvers. "Then don't get off."
  3409. [17:34] <TeslaTornado> "We'll draw straws on who gets off an' shakes hands with the big mean scary pirate folks."
  3410. 01[17:34] <Daedalus> "What, are you gonna head out there?"
  3411. [17:34] <TeslaTornado> "Mebbe."
  3412. [17:34] <Nemi> "Really? I wasn't aware. You know. Due to the whole powered off bit." Clarke's avatar rubs at its temples. "So. That started playing. That is not ominous at all, no sir."
  3413. [17:34] <TeslaTornado> "I'll take Muora an' Nelson."
  3414. [17:35] <Nemi> "Bring one of my relays, if you would? Never know when you need someone to, say, remotely hack a power armour suit or something."
  3415. [17:35] <TeslaTornado> "Naturally."
  3416. 01[17:40] <Daedalus> "Alright, I'll keep the ship goin'."
  3417. [17:40] <LemurLord> (Take Outo. Perfect bullet sponge)
  3418. [17:40] <Nemi> "By which you mean move personnel around while I keep things functional. And possibly send a labor bot to tie the Logician to a table."
  3419. [17:41] <TeslaTornado> "Th' Logician was the one who brought us here."
  3420. [17:41] <TeslaTornado> "He... Fuckin' eh." Hayes looks at his console. "Fuckin' dammit, he saved our asses an' I was tryin' to lock him out."
  3421. [17:43] <Nemi> "I'll.. take your word on that, Astrogator. I was blind for a longer while than I liked."
  3422. [17:43] <TeslaTornado> "I was in his casing."
  3423. [17:43] <TeslaTornado> "He said he saved us."
  3424. [17:43] <TeslaTornado> "An' it was him that locked Danny outta his console when I told him to shut the engines down."
  3425. 01[17:44] <Daedalus> "Fucker coulda gave us warnin, though."
  3426. [17:45] <Nemi> ".. yes. Yes." Clarke's avatar settles in a slumped sitting position inn the air, looking simultaneously disturbed (going sensors-dead for a while does that), annoyed, and even relieved. Clarke must have put some intense programming for the emotion displays.
  3427. [17:49] <Nemi> The avatar sweeps some hair out of its face, glowing reddish-pink visual matter that nonetheless helps with the effect. ".. Can we /please/ shut down everything a bit less often?"
  3428. 01[17:49] <Daedalus> "If I had a choice, yeah."
  3429. 01[17:50] <Daedalus> "You eggheads seem ta have a better grasp on this shit than I do, though."
  3430. [17:53] <Nemi> "Oh, I don't blame you for doing it. I'm just being a whiny baby because it means I have to go through everything /again/ to ensure we don't have something that popped due to the power cutoff and thus might turn into a hole breach that sucks all the organics into space."
  3431. [17:56] <TeslaTornado> Hayes rests his forehead against the pilot's console, unresponsive.
  3432. [18:02] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar hugs its knees to itself as it sits in the air.
  3433. 01[18:05] <Daedalus> <<ATTENTION: SOMEONE IS REQUESTING ACCESS TO BOARD.>>
  3434. [18:06] <Nemi> Clarke clicks through to the sensory feed, the request itself, checks its tag, that sorta ddealiedoo.
  3435. [18:06] <TeslaTornado> Hayes also inspects the camera feed to the doors.

  3441. [18:48] <TeslaTornado> Hayes wanders down to the cargo bay doors.

  3505. [17:39] <TeslaTornado> Hayes is now on the command deck.
  3506. 01[17:39] <Daedalus> The Engineer steps off with him, "Well, good luck with whatever it is you're doing."
  3507. [17:41] <Nemi> "Likewise!" Clarke lazily waves!
  3508. [17:41] <TeslaTornado> "Yeeeeaaah, you too. Wait." Hayes stops. "What's your name?"
  3509. 03[17:42] * DiePotato is now known as NapPotato
  3510. 01[17:45] <Daedalus> She treads down the hall, turning around as Hayes asks her name, "Friends call me Spark."
  3511. 01[17:46] <Daedalus> She calls, turning back around and disappearing around a corner.
  3512. [17:46] <TeslaTornado> "We friends now -"
  3513. [17:46] <TeslaTornado> "God dammit." Hayes sighs.
  3514. [17:46] <TeslaTornado> Hayes moves on towards where he thinks Nikolai could, conceivably, be.
  3515. 01[17:47] <Daedalus> This deck is like a labrinthe, but you find a directory pointing you towards the bridge.
  3516. [17:47] <TeslaTornado> To the bridge!
  3517. 01[17:47] <Daedalus> Nikolai did say the Commander wanted to speak to him.
  3518. 01[17:48] <Daedalus> It's a short trip to the large durasteel blast doors guarded by two power-armored soldiers. Nikolai paces outside.
  3519. [17:49] <TeslaTornado> "Ey Niko!"
  3520. [17:49] <TeslaTornado> Hayes fans his arms out.
  3521. 01[17:49] <Daedalus> "Ah, yes! Hayes and Ms. AI! You are here now. Welcome."
  3522. [17:50] <TeslaTornado> "Glad to be on a station f'r once." Hayes grins, extends a hand to Niko.
  3523. 01[17:50] <Daedalus> Are either of them carrying any energy sources on them?
  3524. 01[17:50] <Daedalus> Such as energy weapons and the like.
  3525. [17:52] <TeslaTornado> Hayes' entire brain is basically an energy source, considering the Longshot is in there.
  3526. [17:52] <TeslaTornado> Otherwise, no.
  3527. 01[17:54] <Daedalus> Several alarms blare, and flashing lights shift out from panels on the wall. <<ATTENTION: SIGNIFICANT ENERGY SOURCE LOCATED. PLEASE REMAIN CALM: A SECURITY REPRESENTATIVE WILL ARRIVE SHORTLY.>>
  3528. [17:55] <TeslaTornado> Hayes' face is blank.
  3529. 01[17:55] <Daedalus> This happens just as you take Nikolai's hand, and his smile turns into surprise real quick as he looks at the alarms.
  3530. [17:55] <TeslaTornado> He blinks.
  3531. [17:55] <TeslaTornado> "... They gonna have to take the computer out of my head now?"
  3532. [17:55] <Nemi> Clarke boggles. "What would-- oh. Oh. It's the neural amp of the Longshot, isn'-- right."
  3533. 01[17:55] <Daedalus> The two power armored guards aim their weapons at you.
  3534. 01[17:56] <Daedalus> <<Hands behind your head!>>
  3535. [17:57] <TeslaTornado> "That's where the Super Spooky Secret Weapon is though!"
  3536. [17:59] <Nemi> "Nadgers, I didn't get Spark's vee en.." The hologram sighs. "I apologize for the alarms, but the Astrogator has a Longshot system incorporated into his central nervous system. The amplification of his brain's electrical signals likely triggered your alarm."
  3537. 01[17:59] <Daedalus> "Nyetnyetnyetnyetnyet!" Nikolai stands in front of you and the guards, in front of their weapons. "He has the, ah, uh, computer in his glava- Er, head. He is astrogator. Like the AI says."
  3538. 01[18:00] <Daedalus> "He does not harm. Lower weapons, please."
  3539. 01[18:02] <Daedalus> They do lower their weapons, slowly, and the alarms shut off.
  3540. [18:02] <TeslaTornado> Hayes continues standing there, looking pretty relaxed even though he's internally shitting his pants.
  3541. 01[18:02] <Daedalus> <<FALSE ALARM. REPEAT. FALSE ALARM. ENERGY SOURCE IDENTIFIED AS 'LONGSHOT' UNIT.>>
  3542. 01[18:05] <Daedalus> The guards do a rough, manual search of your body, before breaking out the wands and going over you thrice.
  3543. [18:05] <TeslaTornado> Thankfully Hayes isn't wearing his toolbelt.
  3544. 01[18:05] <Daedalus> Eventually, they're all let pass through the door, Nikolai sweating bullets.
  3545. [18:06] <Nemi> Clarke's relay is a very weak energy source, being mostly there just to provide power to the holoprojector and to the various communications systems.
  3546. [18:06] <TeslaTornado> Hayes walks in, hands in pockets.
  3547. [18:07] <Nemi> Clarke will try to acquire Nikolai's public identity channel and ping him with a 'Fear of assassins?'
  3548. 01[18:15] <Daedalus> Nikolai descreetly types 'Страх восстаний' in response.
  3549. 01[18:16] <Daedalus> You enter the command deck through the double airlock. Inside, you're greeted to this sight: http://i.imgur.com/seEHygV.jpg
  3550. [18:16] <Nemi> 'Я понимаю.' Clarke /does/, having been on one crew of unstable mercs or another.
  3551. [18:17] <TeslaTornado> Hayes gives a low whistle at the site of the station's Command Deck.
  3552. [18:17] <Nemi> The hologram looks admiringly on at the space. So much... /science/ in one place. And is that a geomap?
  3553. 01[18:17] <Daedalus> Yep!
  3554. 01[18:19] <Daedalus> Some consoles look to have been haphazardly repaired, there's sections of the ceiling that look to have been blown off at one point, and there's engineers hanging from wires. still fixing some sections, but it's grand all the same.
  3555. [18:20] <Nemi> Any components that Clarke may recognize?
  3556. [18:20] <TeslaTornado> "Okay. Okay, yeah, I'm impressed."
  3557. 01[18:21] <Daedalus> Lots, actually. Some Thal tech there, Council tech here, but it mostly looks to be Alliance equipment built atop older Terran tech.
  3558. 01[18:22] <Daedalus> Nikolai grins, "I thought that you might be. This is the heart of the the Thanatos. Come. The Commander is this way."
  3559. 01[18:23] <Daedalus> He leads them down the stairs towards the console directly in front of the geosphere, where an older-looking man in a uniform stands.
  3560. [18:24] <TeslaTornado> Hayes makes his way along.
  3561. 01[18:25] <Daedalus> Mr. Grange is there, talking to him.
  3562. 01[18:26] <Daedalus> "Commander?" Nick asks. The man turns around, "Nikolai?" He examines Harris and Clarke, "Is this them?"
  3563. 01[18:26] <Daedalus> "Ah, yes."
  3564. [18:28] <TeslaTornado> Hayes manages a surprisingly good salute.
  3565. 01[18:29] <Daedalus> "At ease." He looks Hayes up and down, "You're the Astrogator?"
  3566. 01[18:29] <Daedalus> 4df=4
  3567. 01[18:29] <Daedalus> 4df+4
  3568. [18:29] <Glacon> Daedalus: 5 (4df+4=0, 0, 3+, 0)
  3569. [18:29] <TeslaTornado> "Yessir."
  3570. 01[18:30] <Daedalus> Man looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/DSvFCKD.jpg
  3571. 01[18:30] <Daedalus> You suddenly feel compelled to make a comment about his beard.
  3572. [18:30] <Nemi> Clarke is quite intrigued by the ... historical value of all these disparate systems fused together. The hologram bows before the Commander. It's not military.
  3573. 01[18:31] <Daedalus> "And you, I was told you manage your ship systems."
  3574. [18:31] <TeslaTornado> "I wish I managed them as well as your beard, sir."
  3575. [18:31] <TeslaTornado> "... Fuck."
  3576. [18:32] <Nemi> "Yessir. Also, I'm going to apologize and further apologize in advance for the fact that the Astrogator's neurosurgery unfortunately removed his filter. As in, he will say whatever comes to mind, immediately."
  3577. 01[18:33] <Daedalus> "I manage my beard about as well as you do your weight, Astrogator."
  3578. 01[18:34] <Daedalus> He strokes it, grinning, "A little /too/ well."
  3579. [18:34] <TeslaTornado> Hayes, who is underweight, looks down.
  3580. [18:34] <TeslaTornado> Looks back up.
  3581. [18:34] <TeslaTornado> Looks distressed.
  3582. [18:35] <TeslaTornado> "Thaaank... You...?"
  3583. 01[18:35] <Daedalus> "And no need to apologize for him. I heard about what happened with Alexis yesterday."
  3584. 01[18:36] <Daedalus> "Perhaps his Longshot unit accidentally connected his thinking nerves to his facial muscles."
  3585. [18:36] <Nemi> Clarke looks overly amused, both at the Commander's comeback and the fact that he seems okay about things. "I've not tried to intrude on his implants because I'd really rather not poke around someone's brain, so I can only assume."
  3586. [18:38] <TeslaTornado> Hayes continues looking distressed and out of his element.
  3587. [18:38] <TeslaTornado> "So uh."
  3588. [18:38] <TeslaTornado> "I'm here."
  3589. [18:38] <TeslaTornado> "Grange is here. Clarke is here. Niko's here."
  3590. [18:38] <TeslaTornado> "You're here."
  3591. [18:39] <Nemi> "Well, everyone needs to have a poor people person around to make themselves look better in comparison, right?"
  3592. [18:40] <TeslaTornado> Hayes looks more distressed.
  3593. 01[18:40] <Daedalus> "You're both very right. And either way, your eloquence, specifically your lack thereof, in dealing with my security team is not why I called you up here. Besides, I agree with the whole breast-hole thing. I can't understand why she wears that, it really offers no protection... Ah, I'm digressing. You're here because Mr. Grange and Nikolai inform me you have something in the fight against the Beast that we haven't encountered before."
  3594. [18:41] <Nemi> "Oh! Yes!" Clarke's avatar peers toward Hayes, as if to confirm.
  3595. 02[18:43] * TeslaTornado (Tesla@My.Big.Johnson) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)

  3599. [18:44] <Nemi> "Oh! Yes!" Clarke's avatar peers toward Hayes, as if to confirm.
  3600. [18:44] <TeslaTornado> (??)
  3601. 01[18:45] <Daedalus> "You're both very right. And either way, your eloquence, specifically your lack thereof, in dealing with my security team is not why I called you up here. Besides, I agree with the whole breast-hole thing. I can't understand why she wears that, it really offers no protection... Ah, I'm digressing. You're here because Mr. Grange and Nikolai inform me you have something in the fight against the Beast that we haven't encountered before."
  3602. [18:48] <TeslaTornado> "Uh, the screaming?"
  3603. [18:48] <TeslaTornado> "Or the ripped-up Dreadnought?"
  3604. [18:48] <Nemi> "Oh! I have a sensor map of the dreadnaught AND the audio saved!"
  3605. [18:49] <TeslaTornado> "An' I've got a copy on lock in my head."
  3606. [18:49] <TeslaTornado> "But it rapidly self-replicates an' spreads across multiple systems so."
  3607. [18:49] <TeslaTornado> "You'll, uh, wanna keep it locked down."
  3608. 01[18:50] <Daedalus> "I see. We'll have a partition set up on the system."
  3609. 01[18:50] <Daedalus> "I'm giving you the address for the datapad you can send it to."
  3610. [18:50] <Nemi> "Very good! I will get it out of the secure partition, by which I mean his head, immediately."
  3611. 01[18:51] <Daedalus> He goes to a console and sends Clarke the coordinates.
  3612. [18:52] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram stands there, smiling faintly. It's kidding about Hayes-- really, it's digging out the audio file, and the shell made around it to prevent its spread (or, at least, limit it-- the Hobbes episode was a bit alarming), and sending it on over. Very closed-band signal. Don't want to beam this into someone's microwave.
  3613. 01[18:53] <Daedalus> The Commander leans over the edge of the rail, looking for someone. "Sparky! We've sent you the signal!"
  3614. 01[18:53] <Daedalus> He returns to you.
  3615. [18:54] <TeslaTornado> Hayes just waits.
  3616. [18:54] <Nemi> Clarke's hologram nods. "Alright. It should have arrived."
  3617. 01[18:54] <Daedalus> "You're lucky to have survived the encounter."
  3618. 01[18:55] <Daedalus> "Most ships we've seen come here in one or two pieces."
  3619. [18:56] <TeslaTornado> "Thank Clarke an' our logician for that one."
  3620. [18:56] <TeslaTornado> Good job Hayes, completely erasing your own contributions to the escape.
  3621. 01[18:58] <Daedalus> "I'm sure it wasn't simple." He looks contemplatively at the Geosphere. "It's like nothing we've ever seen before, an electronic ring the size of a star... yadda, yadda, yadda, blah blah blah. I don't want to bore you with the whole spiel about how much we don't know about it. You get tired of telling people over and over. All we know is that it's dangerous and that anyone who survives comes here. But now, we have some new information, and thanks to the both of you we might actually get some new ground into understanding what the fuck this thing is."
  3622. [18:59] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar turns to Hayes. "Astrogator, do you still have the archived astrological data for our heading prior to the encounter and immediately afterward, prior to Hobbes' jump?"
  3623. [18:59] <TeslaTornado> "Huh? Oh. Oh, yeah. Yup."
  3624. 01[19:01] <Daedalus> "We'll probably need that too. Just send it too the same address."

  3634. 01[19:03] <Daedalus> "We'll probably need that too. Just send it too the same address."
  3635. [19:03] <TeslaTornado> Hayes sends it along.
  3636. 01[19:05] <Daedalus> "Alright. Spark! Play the file on the partitioned systems!"
  3637. 01[19:08] <Daedalus> He leans on the railing overlooking the sphere, "Lets see what the hell this is..."
  3638. [19:08] <TeslaTornado> Hayes looks at the sphere as well.
  3639. [19:09] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar drums its fingers together. "Turning off the archiving.."
  3640. 01[19:09] <Daedalus> There's silence.
  3641. 01[19:10] <Daedalus> "Spark, why aren't I seeing anyth-" <<AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE>>
  3642. [19:11] <Nemi> Clarke manages to look perfectly sedate during /that/ horrific noise.
  3643. 01[19:11] <Daedalus> Everyone covers their ears as the sound pierces the air.
  3644. 01[19:12] <Daedalus> The hologram of the globe distorts.
  3645. [19:12] <TeslaTornado> Hayes' eye twitches. Thankfully he was already sitting when the noise came on, because if he wasn't he would've been sat down
  3646. [19:12] <TeslaTornado> .*
  3647. [19:13] <Nemi> The hologram observes the globe, intrigued.
  3648. 01[19:13] <Daedalus> It turns into the shape of a disk.
  3649. 01[19:13] <Daedalus> Clarke, the room is getting dimmer.
  3650. 01[19:13] <Daedalus> The noise quieter.
  3651. 01[19:13] <Daedalus> But the geosphere remains.
  3652. 01[19:14] <Daedalus> Only for you, however.
  3653. 01[19:14] <Daedalus> The rest are scrambling to shut it off.
  3654. 01[19:14] <Daedalus> But to you, they move in slow motion.
  3655. [19:14] <Nemi> Clarke stares in wonder.
  3656. 01[19:15] <Daedalus> The hologram is of a disk, wide and luminous, filled with stars.
  3657. [19:15] <TeslaTornado> Hayes, for what it's worth, does his best to assist in the emergency shutdown procedure.
  3658. 01[19:15] <Daedalus> It glows a deep scarlet.
  3659. 01[19:15] <Daedalus> Hayes, meanwhile, you can see Clarke staring at something.
  3660. [19:15] <Nemi> "Maker, it's full of stars.."
  3661. 01[19:16] <Daedalus> It's the galaxy; at least, from what you remember of it.
  3662. 01[19:16] <Daedalus> The milky way.
  3663. 01[19:18] <Daedalus> Bright, and spinning.
  3664. 01[19:18] <Daedalus> Hayes, Programming!
  3665. [19:19] <TeslaTornado> 4df+9 (PROG + Longshot)
  3666. [19:19] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PROG + Longshot): 11 (4df+9=3+, 0, 0, 3+)
  3667. 01[19:19] <Daedalus> Perception, Clarke!
  3668. [19:19] <TeslaTornado> "Hey, Clarke, what're you starin' at?"
  3669. [19:19] <Nemi> 4df+4 ordinary holo-eyes!
  3670. [19:19] <Glacon> Nemi: ordinary holo-eyes!: 6 (4df+4=3+, 3+, 3+, 4-)
  3671. 01[19:19] <Daedalus> Partitioned system 21 needs to be manually shut down. It's a floor below you, near the holosphere emitter.
  3672. 01[19:20] <Daedalus> Clarke, the edge of the milky way. It's, fading. The stars blink out.
  3673. 01[19:20] <Daedalus> One by one.
  3674. [19:21] <Nemi> "The edge of the galaxy, the stars.. They're.. disappearing.."
  3675. 01[19:21] <Daedalus> As it reaches toward the center, the great galactic light glows an even deeper red.
  3676. [19:22] <TeslaTornado> Hayes unplugs from the console and sprints for it.
  3677. [19:22] <Nemi> "And.. extinguished.." Clarke's synthesized voice is coming out slow, as if the process is only an afterthought.
  3678. 01[19:23] <Daedalus> A hand reaches out from the center, Clarke, a three fingered hand. It's fuzzy and twitchy.
  3679. 01[19:23] <Daedalus> It reaches towards you.
  3680. 01[19:24] <Daedalus> Hayes, agility!
  3681. [19:25] <Nemi> Clarke doesn't even have words anymore. Instead, the hologram is.. pulling back, like a boneless puppet, distorting as it reflects its operator's own intent to back away.
  3682. [19:25] <TeslaTornado> (This would be a convenient time for you to roll Lumbering Spaceman, probably)
  3683. 01[19:25] <Daedalus> 4df+2
  3684. [19:25] <Glacon> Daedalus: 3 (4df+2=3+, 0, 4-, 3+)
  3685. 01[19:26] <Daedalus> Hayes, you fall down the stairs.
  3686. 01[19:26] <Daedalus> Agility to not get hurt!
  3687. [19:27] <Nemi> Incidentally, seeing the hologram do that is /really disturbing/.
  3688. 01[19:27] <Daedalus> The fingers contort and twitch as they reach for her.
  3689. [19:29] <Nemi> Clarke remembers where it is, finally, and cuts out both feed and holo.
  3690. 01[19:30] <Daedalus> Roll programming, Clarke.
  3691. [19:31] <Nemi> 4df+10 i'm pretty good at this tech thing you might say
  3692. [19:31] <Glacon> Nemi: i'm pretty good at this tech thing you might say: 12 (4df+10=3+, 0, 0, 3+)
  3693. [19:32] <TeslaTornado> 4df+3 (AGI) Oh man oh god I'm gettin' hurt
  3694. [19:32] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (AGI) Oh man oh god I'm gettin' hurt: 3 (4df+3=0, 0, 3+, 4-)
  3695. 01[19:34] <Daedalus> You decipher the signal that was being sent to you. It's on a loop. In rough Terran, it's translated as, "Experiment: Terminated."
  3696. 01[19:35] <Daedalus> Well, Hayes, you don't recover from that fall very gracefully.
  3697. 01[19:35] <Daedalus> 1d3
  3698. [19:35] <Glacon> Daedalus: 3 (1d3=3)
  3699. 01[19:35] <Daedalus> You take 3 damage.
  3700. 01[19:36] <Daedalus> And you fall right into Spark as she's trying to shut down the system on her datapad.
  3701. [19:37] <TeslaTornado> Harris lets out a groan.
  3702. [19:37] <TeslaTornado> Is he anywhere near 21?
  3703. 01[19:37] <Daedalus> Perception
  3704. 01[19:38] <Daedalus> Clarke, it's silent now.
  3705. [19:41] <Nemi> Clarke, after a few moments of self-diagnostic, reactivates the relay to see what's what.
  3706. [19:41] <TeslaTornado> 4df+4 (PERC) Sorry, distracted
  3707. [19:41] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PERC) Sorry, distracted: 4 (4df+4=0, 0, 0, 0)
  3708. 01[19:42] <Daedalus> The datapad Spark's holding is labeled with a giant '21' on magic marker on the back.
  3709. 01[19:42] <Daedalus> Clark, still screeching.
  3710. [19:44] <Nemi> Clarke kills the feed again and pings Hayes. << Let me know when it's done doing whatever it's doing! >>
  3711. [19:44] <TeslaTornado> 4df+9 (PROG + Longshot) Hayes plugs into the system and shuts that bitch down.
  3712. [19:44] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (PROG + Longshot) Hayes plugs into the system and shuts that bitch down.: 9 (4df+9=4-, 3+, 3+, 4-)
  3713. 01[19:45] <Daedalus> 4df+5
  3714. [19:45] <Glacon> Daedalus: 4 (4df+5=4-, 0, 4-, 3+)
  3715. 01[19:46] <Daedalus> System 21 is shut down completely, and the screaming stops. You'll find you're still lying on top of Spark, though.
  3716. [19:47] <TeslaTornado> (... This is where Minimum Safe Distance comes in again isn't it)
  3717. 01[19:47] <Daedalus> 4df+4 :)
  3718. [19:47] <Glacon> Daedalus: :): 4 (4df+4=0, 3+, 4-, 0)
  3719. 01[19:48] <Daedalus> You feel compelled to mumble something. She'll hear it, being literally right underneath you.
  3720. [19:49] <TeslaTornado> 4df+4 (MDEF) Don't say it you stupid bastard
  3721. [19:49] <Glacon> TeslaTornado: (MDEF) Don't say it you stupid bastard: 6 (4df+4=3+, 0, 3+, 0)
  3722. 01[19:52] <Daedalus> You resist the urge.
  3723. 01[19:52] <Daedalus> For now...
  3724. [19:53] <TeslaTornado> "Sorry, Sparks." Hayes corrects himself.
  3725. [19:54] <Nemi> Clarke's feed and projector remain dark!
  3726. 01[19:54] <Daedalus> "Yeah, uh, yeah." She scrambles to her feet.
  3727. [19:58] <TeslaTornado> "... Yeah." Hayes brushes himself off, clears his throat, unplugs from the system.
  3728. 01[19:58] <Daedalus> She quickly takes back her datapad.
  3729. 01[19:58] <Daedalus> "Sorry, you had to, uh, jack into my data."
  3730. [20:00] <TeslaTornado> "'s fine."
  3731. [20:00] <TeslaTornado> "Don't worry about it. This is what I do."
  3732. 01[20:01] <Daedalus> "Astrogator!" The Commander calls, "You alright?"
  3733. 01[20:01] <Daedalus> "Ah, yes. You took a very nasty fall!"
  3734. [20:02] <Nemi> << We clear? >> Clarke's feed is entirely audio.
  3735. [20:03] <TeslaTornado> "I just need a couple baby ibuproven, I banged my leg up. We're clear."
  3736. [20:03] <TeslaTornado> ibuprofen**
  3737. 01[20:03] <Daedalus> "Ah, okay."
  3738. 01[20:03] <Daedalus> "Come back up when you're done seducing my best engineer."
  3739. [20:04] <Nemi> The holoprojector zoops back on, leaving Clarke right next to Hayes and Sparky in their interesting position. The hologram politely averts its eyes and coughs.
  3740. 01[20:04] <Daedalus> Spark turns a shade of pink, "Fuck you Caius."
  3741. [20:05] <TeslaTornado> "I don't think so." Hayes blinks a couple times.
  3742. [20:06] <TeslaTornado> He carefully disentangles himself from Sparky.
  3743. 01[20:06] <Daedalus> She does the same.
  3744. 01[20:09] <Daedalus> Nikolai heads down to help Hayes walk up the stairs.
  3745. 01[20:10] <Daedalus> "That was quite the fall you took!"
  3746. [20:14] <TeslaTornado> Hayes is assisted up the stairs! "Weren't the worst one ever," He says, limping along.
  3747. 01[20:15] <Daedalus> At the top, he's greeted by the commander and several crewmen scampering about, running diagnostics.
  3748. 01[20:15] <Daedalus> "Well, that was... interesting."
  3749. [20:17] <Nemi> "I saw.. Well, I'm not sure if you saw what /I/ saw, but I saw the stars all winking out, from the outside to the core. And then a hand reached out toward me at which point I killed input." Clarke's avatar rubs at the back of its neck, briefly flickering into a :( emotion, then back to the more human face.
  3750. 01[20:17] <Daedalus> He scratches his beard, "I'm afraid I didn't see much with the noise."
  3751. [20:19] <TeslaTornado> "I didn't see anythin', either." Hayes scratches around one of his ports.
  3752. 02[20:20] * Daedalus (~jonathane@synIRC-B767E11.socal.res.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 183 seconds)
  3753. [20:21] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar looks taken aback. Then.. ".. Does this room have security feeds?"
  3754. 01[20:21] <Roosevelt> "A few."
  3755. 01[20:22] <Roosevelt> "I'll have them analyzed."
  3756. [20:24] <Nemi> Clarke nods. "I'd.. err. Get more stable staff to do that. It freaked /me/ out, and that says a /lot/."
  3757. 01[20:27] <Roosevelt> "Alright. I think we're done here for today. Why don't yo go down to Elysium and get yourself something to drink."
  3758. 01[20:27] <Roosevelt> "It's on me."
  3759. [20:28] <Nemi> Clarke's avatar looks briefly defeated. ".. Maker, all the current events and I haven't even been able to drum up the snark and possible hints of massive-scale machine revolts.."
  3760. [20:29] <TeslaTornado> Hayes looks at Clarke with a half-grin. "That's what I'm here for, isn't it?"
  3761. 01[20:29] <Roosevelt> "Spark, systems diagnostics if you will."
  3762. 01[20:30] <Roosevelt> "Caracas, get me a line to Sector 3 and 7."
  3763. 01[20:30] <Roosevelt> "Nikolai, get me something to drink."
  3764. 01[20:30] <Roosevelt> "It's gonna be a long day."
  3765. [20:31] <Nemi> ".. yes, you're making up for me very well, Astrogator!"
  3766. [20:31] <Nemi> And there's some of that spark back.
  3767. 01[20:33] <Roosevelt> You're now free to go where you want :D
  3768. [20:33] <TeslaTornado> "If there's nothin' else you need, sir," Hayes intones, "I'm gonna head down to Elysium an' try to put a couple digits together."
  3769. 01[20:33] <Roosevelt> "Sure."
  3770. 01[20:35] <Roosevelt> "It's on the house. Tell them Caius sent you."
