[Sat 1:32:20 PM] undefined - Michelle:
heard ya
[Sat 1:32:26 PM] undefined - Veth:
o hear ya
[Sat 1:32:29 PM] undefined - Kristian:
president
[Sat 1:32:45 PM] undefined - Michelle:
too loudly, in fact. ouch. Guess I had this turned up last night.
[Sat 1:35:21 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I have way less porn open today
[Sat 1:35:25 PM] undefined - Kristian:
jk I am frozen at 97%
[Sat 1:35:28 PM] undefined - Veth:
nope
[Sat 1:35:42 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Veth still has the porn up, apparently.
[Sat 1:35:56 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
firefox sucks :P
[Sat 1:36:37 PM] undefined - Kristian:
firefox sucks is a weird porn but I don’t kink shame
[Sat 1:37:03 PM] undefined - Veth:
:P
[Sat 1:37:40 PM] undefined - Veth:
good thing we have at least one of the characters in charge
[Sat 1:37:46 PM] undefined - Michelle:
I think most of the conversation was against taking that job.
[Sat 1:38:04 PM] undefined - Kristian:
so Dirk’s legal opinion is the jail thing is extra mega not legal
[Sat 1:38:24 PM] undefined - Veth:
Only People who show up get to vote!
[Sat 1:38:55 PM] undefined - Kristian:
we would need a very good contract? :)
[Sat 1:39:32 PM] undefined - Kristian:
and we don’t know about Princeton!
[Sat 1:40:06 PM] undefined - Kristian:
important question
[Sat 1:40:09 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Voting for the Slaves job IF we don’t want to go after Aiden’s guy
[Sat 1:40:17 PM] undefined - Kristian:
does Northwinds mining use the Northwinds Access database?
[Sat 1:40:22 PM] undefined - Michelle:
lol
[Sat 1:40:41 PM] undefined - Michelle:
So we could get a 5 year old to hack it?
[Sat 1:42:00 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
Either the Aiden job or Helena is my vote
[Sat 1:42:39 PM] undefined - Jason K:
How big is Anderson Exploration as a company? Like how big of a potential enemy would be making? Heh
[Sat 1:42:44 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Dirk votes for the least illegal, which is probably helping Anderson..but slaves could work too
[Sat 1:43:19 PM] undefined - Kristian:
here’s the thing with Anderson
[Sat 1:43:21 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
“engaging the services of several specialty security firms”
[Sat 1:43:24 PM] undefined - Kristian:
SEVERAL
[Sat 1:43:34 PM] undefined - Kristian:
so this is the mission where we fight the other PC party
[Sat 1:44:35 PM] undefined - Veth:
We should ask for 5%.
[Sat 1:45:16 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Other party - is this what he’s been training his kids for?
[Sat 1:46:09 PM] undefined - Jason K:
I forget, did Aiden have any opinions on the Aiden Job? heh
[Sat 1:46:14 PM] undefined - Kristian:
purely based on the two comms we got…I think the mining company is probably assholes but right…and the miners are being whiners.
[Sat 1:46:22 PM] undefined - Veth:
we should take the retake the colony job, relocate the colonists, and win via malicious compliance.
[Sat 1:47:14 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
…yet
[Sat 1:47:35 PM] undefined - Kristian:
have those emancipation requests ever been done while the colony is like shooting at mercs and company security?
[Sat 1:48:02 PM] undefined - Veth:
Sounds like we’ve got a mystery gang! Get your ascots!
[Sat 1:48:17 PM] undefined - Kristian:
like an old timey robber baron thing
[Sat 1:48:36 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Dirk legal opinion - who’s in the right?
[Sat 1:48:47 PM] undefined - Veth:
I do wish Aiden were here since he’s technically in charge.
[Sat 1:49:15 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
What do you think is so different about this colony on Helena that Anderson refused their request for sovereignty?
[Sat 1:49:38 PM] undefined - Veth:
Alien artifact in the mine.
[Sat 1:49:46 PM] undefined - Kristian:
how about we go to Helena, we kill all of them on both sides, and start our own mining concern?
[Sat 1:49:55 PM] undefined - Veth:
I vote for that.
[Sat 1:49:55 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
10
[Sat 1:49:58 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
7
[Sat 1:50:06 PM] undefined - Kristian:
oh no we suck again
[Sat 1:50:28 PM] undefined - Veth:
Murderhobos with murder oboes.
[Sat 1:50:51 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
We’re basically covered with the miners either way…the miners themselves could be in deep shit if we lose.
[Sat 1:51:09 PM] undefined - Kristian:
no war crimes? damnit let’s go rescue aiden’s sexretary
[Sat 1:51:12 PM] undefined - Veth:
we should totally go fleece the miners and get 15%
[Sat 1:52:12 PM] undefined - Veth:
He’s a good question too.
[Sat 1:54:05 PM] undefined - Veth:
Seems we have some Scoobying to doo.
[Sat 1:54:16 PM] undefined - Kristian:
what if we show up…and negotiate a deal between the 2 parties
[Sat 1:54:35 PM] undefined - Michelle:
We could try, but the corporate contract expressly prohibits negotiating with the other side.
[Sat 1:54:56 PM] undefined - Kristian:
both might be more motivated to negotiate in good faith if they thought the other side was getting a warship on their side.
[Sat 1:55:07 PM] undefined - Veth:
It prohibits negotiating on their behalf, doesn’t it?
[Sat 1:55:30 PM] undefined - Kristian:
not on their behalf..on no behalf. we binding arbitrate.
[Sat 1:55:34 PM] undefined - Michelle:
How long to get there again?
[Sat 1:55:59 PM] undefined - Michelle:
ok
[Sat 1:57:07 PM] undefined - Kristian:
we can go to Anderson corporate HQ and kill them all instead.
[Sat 1:57:15 PM] undefined - Michelle:
aka - that big bad spaceship you put together ain’t big enough.
[Sat 1:57:36 PM] undefined - Michelle:
oh lord
[Sat 1:57:41 PM] undefined - Kristian:
is their HQ near the mayor by chance?
[Sat 1:57:49 PM] undefined - Jason K:
Damn only took us a couple months of owning a ship to go right to war crimes
[Sat 1:57:53 PM] undefined - Veth:
Of course if we do that, we will be portrayed as bad guys in the inevitable movie. Dibs on Willem Defoe.
[Sat 1:57:58 PM] undefined - Jason K:
I admire our restraint tbh
[Sat 1:58:41 PM] undefined - Jason K:
Does this universe exist in the same fictional universe as Khevoran? Can we hunt down Khevoran and bomb it from orbit?
[Sat 1:58:46 PM] undefined - Michelle:
We know any higher ups that might be able to accelerate the emancipation request for the colony?
[Sat 1:59:12 PM] undefined - Veth:
Well as long as Aiden doesn’t insist on saving his friend or whatever, this seems like the job for our special type of goons.
[Sat 1:59:47 PM] undefined - Kristian:
they do have puddles..
[Sat 2:01:36 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Well we seem to be at a crossroads.
[Sat 2:01:36 PM] undefined - Veth:
Essentially at the moment Cara has to make the final decision.
[Sat 2:01:43 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Are we a force for maintaining law and order?
[Sat 2:01:51 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
or are we Robin Hoods, fighting for the little man?
[Sat 2:02:13 PM] undefined - Veth:
I guess to decide we need to find out if the corporation is willing to give us a %
[Sat 2:02:29 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Anderson seems to be paying WELL…the mining thing is pure speculative.
[Sat 2:02:36 PM] undefined - Veth:
They might be once all their other hired guns are dead.
[Sat 2:02:54 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Veth…until we show up and Swann works for them.
[Sat 2:03:02 PM] undefined - Kristian:
plus all combat expenses
[Sat 2:03:03 PM] undefined - Veth:
True that.
[Sat 2:03:46 PM] undefined - Kristian:
and uh no one dies.
[Sat 2:04:32 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
The corporate job seems easier, safer, and more profitable, if everyone can sleep soundly doing the work.
[Sat 2:04:57 PM] undefined - Veth:
I don’t get why we should really trust the colonists to fulfill a promise when their current situation basically comes about from violently not fulfilling a contract.
[Sat 2:05:09 PM] undefined - Kristian:
breach of contract
[Sat 2:05:30 PM] undefined - Kristian:
it wasn’t entirely clear..but are we beholden to an Anderson guy directing us to do stuff?
[Sat 2:05:29 PM] undefined - Veth:
I
[Sat 2:05:37 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Can always take the corporate job and still use our other resources to chase down independence for the colony.
[Sat 2:05:41 PM] undefined - Kristian:
so like we have Paul Reiser on the ship telling us to kill babies or something?
[Sat 2:05:48 PM] undefined - Veth:
We can get our own ship, with warcrimes, and hookers.
[Sat 2:06:09 PM] undefined - Jason K:
Do we know how any of the non-present characters feel? I can’t recall and it does seem as though we’re at a bit of a moral crossroads and I have no idea what side of the coin they’d land on
[Sat 2:06:22 PM] undefined - Kristian:
sounds like we need to write a really good “no warcrimes” contract.
[Sat 2:06:36 PM] undefined - Kristian:
oh shit, so if HAL9000 shows up we’re hosed.
[Sat 2:07:10 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
I like the profit of the corporate job, I do not like placing ourselves under the direct command of a corporate suit.
[Sat 2:07:38 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Just offering it up again, we could try to show up as a neutral entity and try to broken some sort of negotiation between the two sides under the thinly veiled threat of joining one or the other.
[Sat 2:07:56 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
I’m getting a magnificent seven feeling from the idea of helping the colonists.
[Sat 2:08:01 PM] undefined - Michelle:
are we enough of a threat on our own to back that up?
[Sat 2:08:15 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
I say help the colonists
[Sat 2:08:15 PM] undefined - Michelle:
What Dirk said.
[Sat 2:09:04 PM] undefined - Michelle:
back to orbital bombardment?
[Sat 2:09:21 PM] undefined - Kristian:
not the way we roll :(
[Sat 2:09:34 PM] undefined - Michelle:
so we need better targeted space weapons. lol
[Sat 2:09:38 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
I don’t hate Yang’s idea. Especially if we can do some work before we get there and see if we can’t expedite the request of the colonists. Maybe at that point it’s just a matter of biding our time until the request goes through.
[Sat 2:10:09 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
On the other hand, if we show up and try to meditate, and actually succeed, who is paying us?
[Sat 2:10:12 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I do feel like this is a “future of the company” moment though…may want to get Jack’s opinion.
[Sat 2:10:12 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
That’s a lot of maybe.
[Sat 2:10:16 PM] undefined - Michelle:
There aren’t any restrictions on random ships showing up in orbit for this place?
[Sat 2:10:27 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
It’s hard to be Robin Hood in the eyes of the people if your last gig was brutally stamping them down.
[Sat 2:11:51 PM] undefined - Kristian:
shit we’ve gone from Robin Hood to Zorro
[Sat 2:11:53 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
We could wait to pick a side until we get there, could we not?
[Sat 2:12:20 PM] undefined - Kristian:
can never go wrong with a trunk full of guns.
[Sat 2:12:27 PM] undefined - Kristian:
like I feel like we can always use them elsewhere
[Sat 2:13:05 PM] undefined - Michelle:
That sounds like a plan - give us time to rally anything else to back us up. Expedite request. Muster up some arms, maybe. Let Dirk figure roll until he comes up with the Immaculate Legal Solution.
[Sat 2:13:39 PM] undefined - Veth:
jackbooted thungs or people.. the least subtle moral hint Deb has ever given us. :P
[Sat 2:13:44 PM] undefined - Michelle:
lol
[Sat 2:14:02 PM] undefined - Kristian:
don’t forget option 3, war crimes!
[Sat 2:14:09 PM] undefined - Veth:
I do like warcrimes..
[Sat 2:14:11 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Dirk Urge intensifies
[Sat 2:14:30 PM] undefined - Veth:
Kill everyone, take over colony, 100% stake in the mine.
[Sat 2:14:29 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Pretty sure that’s not the kind of urges Dirk gets.
[Sat 2:14:54 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Anyone have Mining skill?
[Sat 2:15:06 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Kevin?
[Sat 2:15:06 PM] undefined - Veth:
First act: Rename colony to Buttwinds.
[Sat 2:15:20 PM] undefined - Michelle:
He rolls a 1 for Thuggery
[Sat 2:15:34 PM] undefined - Kristian:
has a tattoo…THUGGIN LIFE
[Sat 2:15:46 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Thuggin…and Steward
[Sat 2:15:45 PM] undefined - Veth:
Kevin’s entire knowledge is in improvised trap construction.
[Sat 2:16:06 PM] undefined - Veth:
He gets a bonus during december.
[Sat 2:16:04 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Soooo… I’m now in favor of heading back to Whistler or where-have-you, loading up stuff and support, and heading over to Helena as neutral party.
[Sat 2:16:22 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Dirk needs to put his legal thinking cap up
[Sat 2:16:28 PM] undefined - Michelle:
on
[Sat 2:16:34 PM] undefined - Veth:
I like neutral party too, gives us negotiating power.
[Sat 2:16:46 PM] undefined - Kristian:
so…get trunks of guns…get cargo job, go to wisthler and ask jack?
[Sat 2:17:13 PM] undefined - Kristian:
is this find a buyer or negotiate a deal?
[Sat 2:17:11 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Broker plus anything?
[Sat 2:17:21 PM] undefined - Veth:
It’s not my fault I’m only a little good at everything. :P
[Sat 2:17:43 PM] undefined - Michelle:
ok. First roll
[Sat 2:17:46 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
11
[Sat 2:17:59 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
12
[Sat 2:18:11 PM] undefined - Kristian:
nice
[Sat 2:18:48 PM] undefined - Kristian:
don’t see any reason not to do legitimate purchases.
[Sat 2:19:00 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I assume trunk of surplus guns is not like…expensive.
[Sat 2:19:06 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Now we’re arms merchants.
[Sat 2:19:20 PM] undefined - Kristian:
we’re not merchants unless we sell them ;)
[Sat 2:19:32 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Robin-hooding them doesn’t count?
[Sat 2:19:36 PM] undefined - Kristian:
otherwise we’re a charity…like the Salvation Army
