[Sat 2:26:26 PM] undefined - Michelle:
heard ya

[Sat 2:26:29 PM] undefined - Rob:
Heard you

[Sat 2:26:34 PM] undefined - Pat:
heard you

[Sat 2:28:01 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I heard nothing.

[Sat 2:28:11 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I heard your testees

[Sat 2:28:23 PM] undefined - Rob:
…

[Sat 2:29:26 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Do those come with different noise levels?

[Sat 2:30:19 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Michelle is afk

[Sat 2:30:31 PM] undefined - Rob:
Wow… do we have a full house today?

[Sat 2:31:28 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Michelle is back

[Sat 2:31:41 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Oh, the trouble we can get into!

[Sat 2:38:41 PM] undefined - Veth:
yep

[Sat 2:38:41 PM] undefined - Stig:
yes

[Sat 2:38:41 PM] undefined - Rob:
eye

[Sat 2:38:42 PM] undefined - Michelle:
yup

[Sat 2:38:43 PM] undefined - Pat:
aye

[Sat 2:38:55 PM] undefined - Kristian:
yarp

[Sat 2:39:43 PM] undefined - Kristian:
oh no, Dirk must be dead.

[Sat 2:39:54 PM] undefined - Jason G:
immediately tells Jack, just to invalidate the intro

[Sat 2:39:54 PM] undefined - Jason K:
That’s gonna be a weird journal entry if Cara dies in the next few sessions

[Sat 2:40:25 PM] undefined - Rob:
Dirk will heroically throw himself in the way and prevent her death.

[Sat 2:40:33 PM] undefined - Kristian:
or Jack dies nearly immediately and the narrator is Jack’s Verbose Ghost.

[Sat 2:41:05 PM] undefined - Rob:
Jack and/or Cara are being kept ‘alive’ via Deepfake technology?

[Sat 2:41:14 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
What the hell is this? Is this normal for this rock?

[Sat 2:41:19 PM] undefined - Kristian:
maybe they Vger it up with Calliope

[Sat 2:41:19 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
(loudly, over the storm) I do not care for the implications of this storm

[Sat 2:42:06 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Shit, I hope we didn’t break something.

[Sat 2:42:10 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Maybe related to the portals.. perhaps the architects tapped into the planet’s weather system

[Sat 2:42:17 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
I wonder if it has anything to do with us using the tunne?

[Sat 2:42:21 PM] undefined - Kristian:
like the space-time continuum

[Sat 2:42:18 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Maybe travelling by… uh… weird alien space-warp gates has meteorological side-effects.

[Sat 2:42:29 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Well that’s fun.

[Sat 2:42:30 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
I’ll be glad to see it from orbit

[Sat 2:42:34 PM] undefined - Pat:
when did they say it started again?

[Sat 2:42:40 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Think we can make it to orbit?

[Sat 2:42:42 PM] undefined - Rob:
faintly hears Dr. Who theme music

[Sat 2:43:07 PM] undefined - Veth:
The portals are all timey wimey.

[Sat 2:43:16 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Always great when the DM says “you can try”

[Sat 2:43:24 PM] undefined - Michelle:
That was a question for our resident pilot. lol

[Sat 2:43:46 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
I don’t like our odds either way.. so let’s do it?

[Sat 2:43:50 PM] undefined - Rob:
Deb’s secret plan to end his struggles with Traveler without converting it to Fate.

[Sat 2:43:58 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
Cara Burton nods

[Sat 2:43:59 PM] undefined - Michelle:
lol

[Sat 2:44:06 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
I think I could find a way to make it to orbit in one piece, but I’d rather wait it out if that is an option.

[Sat 2:44:09 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Do we need to stay down here until it passes?

[Sat 2:44:08 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
We should move before this gets worse and we can’t leave

[Sat 2:44:41 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
I don’t think this is the kind of storm that one can automatically assume it will pass soon.

[Sat 2:44:44 PM] undefined - Pat:
was that unusual as well?

[Sat 2:44:50 PM] undefined - Kristian:
More importantly, are any of the colonists hot and how chocolately are their beverages?

[Sat 2:44:48 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Be nice to know how widespread it is - especially if we have any intention of helping the locals.

[Sat 2:44:47 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Roland Denhardt sighs and straps in

[Sat 2:44:50 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
I’ve flown in worse. I think.

[Sat 2:45:19 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
We’d probably better take off while we still can then.

[Sat 2:45:23 PM] undefined - Kristian:
boom so all we have to do is find planets with shitty weather and there’s another stargate.

[Sat 2:45:21 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
“I think” would be great last words.

[Sat 2:45:24 PM] undefined - Rob:
Whoops.

[Sat 2:45:30 PM] undefined - Kristian:
OKC has one, obvs.

[Sat 2:45:35 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
If we wait, we may not have a shuttle. Should we go take a look?

[Sat 2:45:33 PM] undefined - Rob:
Guess I don’t strap in

[Sat 2:45:39 PM] undefined - Pat:
can we even make it to the shuttle?

[Sat 2:45:47 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
We’ve got good suits

[Sat 2:46:06 PM] undefined - Rob:
Except Mayvik. We’ve secretly replaced his with Foldger’s Crystals.

[Sat 2:46:09 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Tomoe Gozen grimaces.

[Sat 2:46:10 PM] undefined - Veth:
If we don’t get no tolls, we don’t get no rolls.

[Sat 2:46:19 PM] undefined - Pat:
is there any way we can move it into some sort of shelter?

[Sat 2:46:33 PM] undefined - Jason G:
will damage the shuttle when grounded? or just if it tries to fly?

[Sat 2:46:34 PM] undefined - Rob:
Yes, if we had a crane.

[Sat 2:46:43 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
Well…let’s jump in. We have no choice but to leave.

[Sat 2:46:50 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Roland Denhardt nods

[Sat 2:47:03 PM] undefined - Stig:
is the shuttle covered by “pilot small craft” or “pilot spacecraft”?

[Sat 2:47:20 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
So…we just run for the shuttle, then? Or move towards it, at least?

[Sat 2:47:34 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Daniel Eckhart looks at Tomoe

[Sat 2:47:44 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Stay close to someone who can grab you if needed.

[Sat 2:47:49 PM] undefined - Kristian:
we can’t just remote pilot that shit over here?

[Sat 2:47:54 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Tomoe Gozen sighs and heads out towards the shuttle, sticking close to Julian.

[Sat 2:47:54 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
5

[Sat 2:47:55 PM] undefined - Rob:
And if we don’t have Athletics? Just unskilled roll?

[Sat 2:47:57 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
Stay in pairs, keep track of your partner

[Sat 2:48:00 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
5

[Sat 2:48:06 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
7

[Sat 2:48:08 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
9

[Sat 2:48:07 PM] undefined - Jason K:
Uh oh! Oopsies!!

[Sat 2:48:09 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
9

[Sat 2:48:18 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
8

[Sat 2:48:26 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:

[Sat 2:48:30 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
5

[Sat 2:48:34 PM] undefined - Kristian:
looool

[Sat 2:48:33 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
Julian Felix holds on to Tomoe if she stumbles

[Sat 2:48:32 PM] undefined - Jason G:
everyone BUT Angelica makes it :D

[Sat 2:48:32 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
6

[Sat 2:48:48 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Dirk does the Will Ferrel ribbon dance through the wind somehow

[Sat 2:48:45 PM] undefined - Jason G:
and those two

[Sat 2:48:51 PM] undefined - Veth:
dirk once again just randomly sauntering through danger somehow having no trouble.

[Sat 2:49:01 PM] undefined - Michelle:
lol. And he gets his own a$$ knocked down

[Sat 2:49:18 PM] undefined - Stig:
Probably smart to use our spelunking gear to secure ourselves next time

[Sat 2:49:44 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I like how the two nerds got the best rolls lol

[Sat 2:49:47 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
5

[Sat 2:49:53 PM] Angelica Triggs - Jen:
9

[Sat 2:49:54 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
8

[Sat 2:49:59 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Need to be able to use my Athletics (Str) roll. :P

[Sat 2:50:30 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
11

[Sat 2:50:37 PM] undefined - Veth:
It’s kind of fitting that the one with the tiny woman actor as their avatar is getting blown away.

[Sat 2:51:05 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
Shit shit shit shit shit

[Sat 2:51:19 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
Cara Burton nods to Daniel

[Sat 2:51:28 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
I’ll go get started.

[Sat 2:51:30 PM] undefined - Veth:
this experience gives Cara the “I gotta gain weight” mental feat.

[Sat 2:51:32 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
Julian Felix starts pre-flight checks

[Sat 2:51:34 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
Tomoe Gozen straps in.

[Sat 2:51:48 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Daniel Eckhart double-checks harnesses on most everyone not flying the ship

[Sat 2:51:48 PM] undefined - Rob:
Snake-eyes. We plow right into the cave

[Sat 2:51:52 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
They key is to let the wind pass through you.

[Sat 2:51:56 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
12

[Sat 2:52:04 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Or to be full of hot air?

[Sat 2:52:08 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
or imagine yourself floating on it

[Sat 2:52:10 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
like a leaf.

[Sat 2:52:12 PM] undefined - Veth:
lol dirk’s being held down by years of alcoholism.

[Sat 2:52:17 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Indeed, Mr. Yang. You must make your mind like the wind…

[Sat 2:52:28 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
6

[Sat 2:52:34 PM] undefined - Kristian:
lol Dirk’s liver is the immovable object.

[Sat 2:52:37 PM] undefined - Veth:
oh fuck

[Sat 2:52:38 PM] undefined - Michelle:
nooo

[Sat 2:52:43 PM] undefined - Stig:
who’s the funny guy who labelled the eject button “Start”?

[Sat 2:52:45 PM] undefined - Rob:
Okay, I’ll plow us into the Cave. Why as I helping? :P

[Sat 2:52:51 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I am a leaf on the wind! splat

[Sat 2:52:59 PM] undefined - Veth:
Roland is literally sitting backward in his seat.

[Sat 2:53:04 PM] undefined - Kristian:
hey if anyone is helping plow into a cave it’s Dirk.

[Sat 2:53:11 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Wait… starboard is the other way.

[Sat 2:53:16 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
ooooohnoyesokwe’re good

[Sat 2:53:23 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Damnit man! If I wasn’t nauseous already.

[Sat 2:53:25 PM] undefined - Veth:
Dirk’s crystal animal set is RUINED.

[Sat 2:53:37 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Daniel Eckhart whoops loudly

[Sat 2:53:51 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
That was gnarly weather.

[Sat 2:53:59 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I bet this wouldn’t happen with an assault shuttle

[Sat 2:54:17 PM] undefined - Veth:
It’s true. We should have gone with the assault shuttle side quest.

[Sat 2:54:33 PM] undefined - Rob:
I see that rolling better on untrained rolls than trained ones might become a trend today

[Sat 2:54:45 PM] undefined - Jason G:
maybe there will be an assault shuttle DLC on sale soon

[Sat 2:54:57 PM] undefined - Rob:
Microstransaction.

[Sat 2:55:05 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Bundled with Fate upgrade

[Sat 2:55:09 PM] undefined - Veth:
if we do get an assault shuttle, we should name it “Felony Assault”.

[Sat 2:55:15 PM] undefined - Jason G:
sends Deb $50 and assault shuttle appears

[Sat 2:55:28 PM] undefined - Rob:
Alas, it’s just a reskin of the regular shuttle.

[Sat 2:55:37 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
On the left hand side (rolls) we now see bad weather. Anyone with scientific instruments can point it down the gravity well and study the readings later.

[Sat 2:56:07 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit drinking.

[Sat 2:56:08 PM] undefined - Veth:
Out the right window you’ll see… a witch.. on a bicycle?

[Sat 2:56:23 PM] undefined - Jason G:
and a cow, and Auntie Em…

[Sat 2:56:49 PM] undefined - Rob:
In Soviet Traveler, storm chase you.

[Sat 2:57:00 PM] undefined - Stig:
chaser storms?

[Sat 2:57:05 PM] undefined - Michelle:
In this case, it kinda did

[Sat 2:57:19 PM] undefined - Veth:
We are the chaser storm chasers.

[Sat 2:57:28 PM] undefined - Veth:
also known as the storm colliders.

[Sat 2:57:33 PM] undefined - Rob:
Does that mean we just fly around in a circle?

[Sat 2:57:39 PM] undefined - Veth:
yes.

[Sat 2:57:50 PM] undefined - Stig:
Does the storm cover a large area?

[Sat 2:58:10 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
I too am curious how localized this is to the device

[Sat 2:58:32 PM] undefined - Rob:
The storm’s area is a 20 meter radius centered around Dirk.

[Sat 2:58:56 PM] undefined - Veth:
except for the space DIRECTLY surrounding him.

[Sat 2:59:00 PM] undefined - Kristian:
did I lose alla udio?

[Sat 2:59:00 PM] undefined - Rob:
Did we misplace Deb?

[Sat 2:59:03 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Was just wondering that

[Sat 2:59:09 PM] undefined - Kristian:
all…audio..not allah dio

[Sat 2:59:11 PM] undefined - Jason G:
Deb, if you’re talking we can’t hear you

[Sat 2:59:17 PM] undefined - Debinani:
No audio?

[Sat 2:59:21 PM] undefined - Rob:
Now yes.

[Sat 2:59:23 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
yes

[Sat 2:59:23 PM] undefined - Michelle:
He DOES talk!

[Sat 2:59:34 PM] undefined - Jason G:
yes. last we heard was us going up

[Sat 2:59:55 PM] undefined - Kristian:
Deb also rolled “DM” and got 1 1

[Sat 3:00:34 PM] undefined - Veth:
deb is truly a member of the team, his rolls too suck.

[Sat 3:00:43 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Roland Denhardt checks over the shuttle to see if it took any damage

[Sat 3:00:47 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
10

[Sat 3:01:05 PM] undefined - Pat:
it does need a paint job

[Sat 3:01:13 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
Julian that was amazing.

[Sat 3:01:20 PM] undefined - Jason G:
there went the paint job

[Sat 3:01:27 PM] undefined - Kristian:
screw that, maintenance is expensive, let’s put the manufacturer on blast

[Sat 3:01:41 PM] Din Strata - Veth:
Ten out of ten, would ride alien storms with you driving again.

[Sat 3:01:40 PM] undefined - Rob:
Dirk did the paint job so we’re not complaining…

[Sat 3:01:49 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
Thanks, I’d rather not do that again for a bit.

[Sat 3:02:21 PM] undefined - Rob:
Aiden explains that to everyone and we must all roll vs confusion

[Sat 3:02:39 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan spends most of the rest of the trip quietly taking notes and making calculations.

[Sat 3:02:49 PM] undefined - Kristian:
logs into the ethics/request-a-hit site

[Sat 3:02:58 PM] undefined - Rob:
Roland will take care of the shuttle maintenance before the next time we have to use it

[Sat 3:03:04 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
So we can check video archives for storms out of season for various planets to find gates?

[Sat 3:03:18 PM] undefined - Kristian:
that one requires you to put a hit on FAA

[Sat 3:03:53 PM] undefined - Veth:
We shall call these gates… Fargates! They’re totally unique and different.

[Sat 3:03:52 PM] undefined - Jason G:
remember our NDA. Are Swann and the other folks here read in to this?

[Sat 3:03:53 PM] undefined - Pat:
are we discussing this over a closed channel or something?

[Sat 3:04:16 PM] undefined - Jason G:
Pat and I thinking the same thing :D

[Sat 3:04:19 PM] undefined - Stig:
we should be

[Sat 3:04:50 PM] undefined - Kristian:
we shouldn’t be at all. Kevin is a fucking gossip

[Sat 3:04:51 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Unsure what you mean Julian. It is a nice storm though

[Sat 3:04:58 PM] undefined - Stig:
OPSEC is for other people. We’re the heroes! :)

[Sat 3:05:01 PM] undefined - Kristian:
aren’t we supposed to say kumquat or something as our safe word?

[Sat 3:05:00 PM] undefined - Rob:
We aren’t discussing it over Facebook?

[Sat 3:05:08 PM] undefined - Veth:
Hey! Kevin is like our 10th man!

[Sat 3:05:37 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
So, what’s next on the agenda?

[Sat 3:05:44 PM] undefined - Jason G:
you can hear the tone in Aiden’s voice… and maybe some will note he didn’t call Julian “Mr. Felix”…

[Sat 3:05:52 PM] undefined - Veth:
he doesn’t even mind when we leave him… home alone.

[Sat 3:06:06 PM] undefined - Kristian:
uh don’t we still have to deal with Andersen until Benny and the Jerks wave them off?

[Sat 3:06:14 PM] undefined - Kristian:
since they are not sending messages ftl

[Sat 3:07:06 PM] undefined - Veth:
The longest day ever was whistler year…

[Sat 3:07:12 PM] undefined - Jason G:
is Cara Swann’s CO?

[Sat 3:07:37 PM] undefined - Veth:
it lasted six months, because God needed to move to Taxachusettes.

[Sat 3:07:42 PM] undefined - Kristian:
technically he works for Dirk ;)

[Sat 3:08:05 PM] undefined - Rob:
I’m sure he shows Dirk all the respect that Dirk deserves.

[Sat 3:08:13 PM] undefined - Kristian:
jk but that would have been fun if he put something in the contract that he was like his personal bodyguard, right? :P

[Sat 3:08:13 PM] undefined - Veth:
technically the universe works for dirk. the dude is the only character I’ve ever seen that generated his own plot armor.

[Sat 3:08:13 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Daniel Eckhart helps tackle maintenance on the shuttle

[Sat 3:08:25 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Leaving it up to the big-wigs to figure out what we’re doing next

[Sat 3:08:54 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Dirk Yang Dirk plays chess with Calliope

[Sat 3:08:53 PM] undefined - Rob:
Wise man.

[Sat 3:08:56 PM] undefined - Pat:
I’d have thought less. JAG is still military, aren’t they?

[Sat 3:09:33 PM] undefined - Kristian:
wow she really likes chess

[Sat 3:09:47 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
6

[Sat 3:10:01 PM] undefined - Veth:
I swear if we find Dirk spent all our money on a synth body to sex calliope… I will not be surprised.

[Sat 3:10:07 PM] undefined - Kristian:
too bad Dirk is real bad at it. lol

[Sat 3:10:43 PM] undefined - Kristian:
MAYOR YOU SAY?

[Sat 3:10:42 PM] undefined - Veth:
lol time to kill the mayor again!

[Sat 3:10:44 PM] undefined - Jason K:
Hahahaha

[Sat 3:10:47 PM] undefined - Rob:
Mayor? Urge to kill rising…

[Sat 3:10:59 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan sends Cara a message /suggesting/ we have a little chat with Swann to make sure recent evens are compartmentalized, and we’d going to be doing things that don’t immediately make sense.

[Sat 3:11:26 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan sighs

[Sat 3:11:32 PM] undefined - Veth:
ah fuck.

[Sat 3:11:35 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
If I had a credit for every time someone told me that…

[Sat 3:12:07 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
Cara responds affirmatively to Aiden’s message

[Sat 3:12:13 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
That’s true.

[Sat 3:12:11 PM] undefined - Jason G:
I don’t see how it’s possible we can’t let her in on it..

[Sat 3:12:28 PM] undefined - Veth:
if calliope ever just says “It’s nothing, I’m fine” expect the AI is about to kill us all.

[Sat 3:12:38 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
So let me ask you a question Calliope. What do you have in the way of..uh..compartmentalization routines?

[Sat 3:12:40 PM] undefined - Jason G:
LOL

[Sat 3:12:44 PM] undefined - Jason G:
she is NOT FINE

[Sat 3:12:52 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Are you able to keep a secret?

[Sat 3:13:03 PM] undefined - Rob:
“Better than me, that is,” says Dirk.

[Sat 3:13:30 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I like that word less and less every time you say it.

[Sat 3:14:01 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
The reason I ask..

[Sat 3:14:13 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
It’s probable that we get up to some..well..sensitive things out here with this ship.

[Sat 3:14:16 PM] undefined - Jason G:
and are ‘we’ the owners or someone else? If you were building an AI would you not put in a back door?

[Sat 3:14:25 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Things that would be best never spoken of again.

[Sat 3:14:44 PM] undefined - Kristian:
If I was building a sexy synth body I definitely would.

[Sat 3:14:50 PM] undefined - Jason G:
oh good, so she can lie to Dirk - carry on

[Sat 3:15:15 PM] undefined - Rob:
Dirk’s skill would result in his constructing Fisto.

[Sat 3:15:32 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Well I suppose that is a bit ..subjective..

[Sat 3:16:18 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Legal..not legal…it’s not quite as black and white as you may think.

[Sat 3:16:28 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
There’s an..art to it.

[Sat 3:17:01 PM] undefined - Rob:
Next she’s going to talk about Dirk’s collection of pirated porn.

[Sat 3:17:08 PM] undefined - Michelle:
“You people are nothing but thieves. I must turn you in…”

[Sat 3:17:12 PM] undefined - Kristian:
would she have access to like our, personnel files and stuff?

[Sat 3:17:30 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Do you have access to my work history, by chance?

[Sat 3:17:44 PM] undefined - Jason G:
is this a private convo or is Dirk just chatting with her in the open?

[Sat 3:17:59 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
yes yes…everyone has that.

[Sat 3:18:04 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
I was thinking more like, casework.

[Sat 3:18:16 PM] undefined - Rob:
Dirk posted that video on his social media feed?

[Sat 3:18:24 PM] undefined - Veth:
Now show him that time he ran over a perfectly healthy and attractive police officer!

[Sat 3:18:43 PM] undefined - Kristian:
nor do I remember living it!

[Sat 3:19:35 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Well, perhaps sometime if you are bored you could review that. It may give you some insight into how things that are one way on paper may be…massaged…differently if you have a good argument to make and a receptive audience.

[Sat 3:19:45 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Ethics and Law are two very different things.

[Sat 3:19:55 PM] undefined - Michelle:
spoken like a true merc

[Sat 3:20:18 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
Like the difference between a justice system and a legal system?

[Sat 3:20:30 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Anyway, that was a bit of a tangent, I apologize. Yes we had quite a..harrowing..experience on the surface.

[Sat 3:20:30 PM] undefined - Veth:
great, Dirk’s teaching our AI that they don’t have to be moral.

[Sat 3:20:56 PM] undefined - Kristian:
teaching her that chaotic neutral is the best way to be!

[Sat 3:21:04 PM] undefined - Veth:
when that AI hits puberty we are dead.

[Sat 3:21:06 PM] undefined - Rob:
Dirk becomes her role model.

[Sat 3:21:14 PM] undefined - Kristian:
her? do aliens have binary genders?

[Sat 3:21:44 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
One of these days I’m going to ask you give me lessons in this game, too.

[Sat 3:21:41 PM] undefined - Jason G:
I’m giving her a little more credit than to be morally led astray by one person :D

[Sat 3:22:10 PM] undefined - Veth:
Not that we needed it, he was just looking scrawny.

[Sat 3:22:49 PM] undefined - Pat:
can we help any?

[Sat 3:23:06 PM] undefined - Kristian:
worst part about all this is we bought these f’ers a bunch of artillery to defend themselves that was totally unnnecessary

[Sat 3:23:16 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Did we send off that message?

[Sat 3:23:28 PM] undefined - Kristian:
spoiler!

[Sat 3:23:29 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
That town is going to need to be hardened up a bit if it’s going to remain there…

[Sat 3:23:37 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Encrypted one for Anderson?

[Sat 3:23:50 PM] undefined - Michelle:
ah

[Sat 3:25:17 PM] undefined - Pat:
if we’re going to be here for a while, is there anything I can do to help out at the hospital or something?

[Sat 3:26:34 PM] undefined - Pat:
ok, so maybe monitor radio and other chatter, and find a place that needs some help that doesn’t have it at the moment, maybe?

[Sat 3:26:43 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
Sounds like a problem for later, Doc. Still have to make sure they don’t get replaced by the corporate guys.

[Sat 3:27:19 PM] Daniel Eckhart - Michelle:
We brought all this hardware with us. We gonna use it?

[Sat 3:28:35 PM] undefined - Pat:
ok, if there’s anything I can do to help, I’ll help, but I doubt I’ll be of much use fixing a barn, for instance.

[Sat 3:28:58 PM] undefined - Jason G:
and this place was not built for that because presumably the storms have been quiet for a long time …?

[Sat 3:29:52 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
First storm like this… in recorded history here… takes more notes

[Sat 3:30:09 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Also makes you wonder why they used the gate about the time we arrived at that hotel

[Sat 3:30:20 PM] undefined - Rob:
I wonder if ‘opened the way’ and the gate between Demeter and whats-it-called will now occasionally lead here.

[Sat 3:31:34 PM] undefined - Kristian:
didn’t the Dauntless appear right around when we were in that other storm?

[Sat 3:31:46 PM] undefined - Pat:
a bit later, I think?

[Sat 3:31:57 PM] undefined - Jason G:
if the storm is still raging, can we fly into town loudly broadcasting The Flight of the Valkyries on the external speakers?

[Sat 3:32:18 PM] undefined - Stig:
you may be right

[Sat 3:32:22 PM] undefined - Kristian:
I’m pretty sure no one wants that

[Sat 3:32:18 PM] undefined - Jason G:
darn

[Sat 3:33:02 PM] undefined - Pat:
Julian will be fine unless someone tries to help him…

[Sat 3:33:17 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Daniel is all for getting started on installing emplacements

[Sat 3:33:34 PM] undefined - Pat:
if there is no real need for help here, I’ll spend some time working on my music, at least.

[Sat 3:33:37 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Yep

[Sat 3:33:55 PM] undefined - Michelle:
So take job and get to work

[Sat 3:34:11 PM] undefined - Veth:
yeah, sounds like us.

[Sat 3:34:16 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
So we know which job we can actually take…

[Sat 3:34:19 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
Time to accept the job, and deliver the message alongside some big guns?

[Sat 3:35:02 PM] undefined - Debinani:
https://wiki.blackrosesociety.com/Tabletop/Whistler’s+Reach/Indomitable+Bastards/Tracker/They’re+Trying+To+Make+Slaves+of+Us

[Sat 3:36:49 PM] undefined - Jason K:
Seems that way

[Sat 3:36:56 PM] Dirk Yang - Kristian:
Don’t see we have a choice at this point.

[Sat 3:37:03 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Let’s make the call

[Sat 3:37:09 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan nods to Cara and Dirk

[Sat 3:37:12 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
We always have a choice, and I’d like to choose to help these people.

[Sat 3:38:41 PM] undefined - Pat:
is something weird happening to the sound, or is it just me?

[Sat 3:38:49 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
We agree, and we’d like to come down and discuss it when the storm passes.

[Sat 3:38:54 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Sounds ok here

[Sat 3:38:55 PM] undefined - Jason G:
nothing on this side

[Sat 3:39:00 PM] undefined - Kristian:
just you

[Sat 3:39:09 PM] undefined - Pat:
ok, hmm

[Sat 3:40:20 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
There was a complete collapse. I don’t hold out much hope for a rescue if they were inside

[Sat 3:41:13 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan cues up the external PA

[Sat 3:41:46 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Let’s discuss in person, if you don’t mind.

[Sat 3:42:32 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Thank you, and I’d like to meet your meteorologist for a little bit, if you can let them know.

[Sat 3:42:39 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Unrelated to our business

[Sat 3:42:52 PM] Aiden Harlan - Jason G:
Aiden Harlan starts collecting structure and architectural standards documents for Demeter from the cortex.

[Sat 3:43:34 PM] Roland Denhardt - Rob:
Roland Denhardt Finish the maintenance on the shuttle is all for Roland

[Sat 3:43:42 PM] undefined - Kristian:
nothing here..just metal relax day. Possibly with alcohol.

[Sat 3:43:48 PM] undefined - Rob:
That was ooc, of course

[Sat 3:44:45 PM] Julian Felix - Stig:
Looking better down there now

[Sat 3:44:46 PM] undefined - Pat:
can we fix our suits and other gear, btw?

[Sat 3:45:27 PM] undefined - Kristian:
except what Benny stole?

[Sat 3:45:32 PM] undefined - Kristian:
or we destroyed?

[Sat 3:46:00 PM] undefined - Pat:
I’m gong to dig into my family history a bit, I think.

[Sat 3:46:22 PM] Tomoe Gozen - Pat:
9

[Sat 3:47:50 PM] undefined - Jason G:
originally the family name was Gozer, but over the years it changed to Gozen

[Sat 3:48:15 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
Cara Burton fumbles with her new phone

[Sat 3:48:31 PM] undefined - Stig:
Road trip!

[Sat 3:48:40 PM] Cara Burton - Jason K:
Why do they always have to change these things…

[Sat 3:48:58 PM] undefined - Kristian:
not cool, literally have to do that later :(

[Sat 3:49:00 PM] undefined - Rob:
Cara has entered her Boomer phase

[Sat 3:49:42 PM] undefined - Stig:
depends on the risk of meeting the opposition?

[Sat 3:49:45 PM] undefined - Rob:
Are we doing a Magnificent Seven training montage for the colonists?

[Sat 3:49:47 PM] undefined - Michelle:
Landing with this cargo is a pretty good sign we’re taking the job

[Sat 3:50:04 PM] undefined - Jason G:
we didn’t turn it down yet… officially.. did we?

[Sat 3:50:18 PM] undefined - Jason G:
ahh right

[Sat 3:50:22 PM] undefined - Pat:
when I have the spare time, I’ll try to see if I can see/hear/do anything weird. (You know, like Talia in B5, S1, when she is trying to do the levitation thing)

[Sat 3:50:40 PM] undefined - Pat:
obviously not where anyone else can see it :P

[Sat 3:51:13 PM] undefined - Rob:
We often see Tomoe do things that are ‘werid’. :P

[Sat 3:51:38 PM] undefined - Jason G:
Weird Stuff +1

[Sat 3:51:41 PM] undefined - Pat:
comes with the job

[Sat 3:51:58 PM] undefined - Jason G:
let’s say we brought down a squad

[Sat 3:52:11 PM] undefined - Rob:
I’m sure that map won’t be needed for any other reason

[Sat 3:52:31 PM] undefined - Jason G:
…

[Sat 3:53:02 PM] undefined - Pat:
hey, it’s the Chekov’s gun thing.

[Sat 3:53:11 PM] undefined - Pat:
if there is a map, it has to be used at some point.

[Sat 3:53:41 PM] undefined - Jason G:
Chekhov’s Map? rofl

[Sat 3:54:13 PM] undefined - Kristian:
