Jump 095: FTL

Jump 95: FTL
>Ten of Pentacles, reversed (The loss of reputation or inheritance, or the failure to pass an inheritance along to one's children.)
Not sure how this one applies.
>Age: 29
>Location: Free Choice
>Identity: Human
>Drawbacks: The Perils of Space (+100), Galactic Recession (+100), Giant Alien Spiders (+200), Pursued (+200)
Death by a thousand cuts rather than a single stong one. It's going to make things very difficult for the next ten years.
>Space Legs (Free)
A useful enough perk.
>Quick Learner (Free, Human)
Likewise, useful to be able to pick things up even a little faster.
>Telepath (1400)
Now we're getting somewhere. All you people who like to make the ultimate psyker and whatnot, take note of this one: increased willpower, widened imagination, sensing minds and immunity to mind control.
>Engine Specialist (Free, Drop-In)
The ability to operate engines more efficiently is more crucial to the upcoming jumps than one might think, especially considering I've basically started the space arc of my jumping.
>Scrap Dealer (1300, Drop-In)
If we're dealing with a galactic recession, getting scrap and getting discounts are going to be even more important.
>Silent Running (1150, Drop-In)
Being able to engage a cloak is a very important thing. Even a tactical one.
>Shields Specialist (1050)
Being able to deal with my shields easier is even more important.
>Tough Little Ship (850)
The name of my ship is the Lollipop. It's a good ship.
>Weapons Specialist (750)
Being more competent with starship-grade weaponry is a bonus as well!
>Automated Rebellion (450)
And being able to design and use autonomous drones and ships is even better.
>Ship Import: Sajuuk (150)
Because BRING SAJUUK TO BEAR. BRING SAJUUK TO BEAR. BRING SAJUUK TO BEAR.
Yes, I WILL be running that into the ground in the threads to come.
>Reactor: 8 (Free)
A stock reactor is acceptable. I can, hopefully, upgrade it later.
>Doors: 1 (Free)
Eh, I'm not so worried about locking it down at this point.
>Piloting: 1 (Free)
We will not be bound.
>Sensors: 2 (100)
Because scanning my own ship is not sufficient, I want to be able to scan theirs too.
>Cloak: 1 (Free, Silent Running)
Strictly a tactical cloak until I get it sufficiently upgraded, sure, but I'll figure that out sooner or later.
>Crew Teleporter: 1 (0)
This is why I have sensors working. Beaming crew to other ships is always helpful.
>Drone Control: 2 (Free, Automated Rebellion)
Being able to use drones, whether for repair, shielding, or fire support... they're a force multiplier.
>Engines: 3 (Free, Engine Specialist)
Machines just got workings, and they talk to me.
>Oxygen: 1 (Free)
I don't think I exactly am going to worry about repressuring too rapidly at this point. Because I plan on giving my crew ACTUAL PRESSURE RATED SUITS.
>Shields: 2 (Free, Shields Specialist)
Starting out with shields, even weak shields, is a major plus.
>Weapons: 3 (Free, Weapons Specialist)
...I wonder what sort of weapons Chibi-Sajuuk will have.
>Slug Repair Gel (Free, +50pt human augmentation discount)
Self-repair functions on a ship such as this sound perfectly reasonable.

So I'm being chased by slavers and spiders and slaver spiders across known space.

But for me, it was Tuesday.
