Tech use roll- 66; Lazarus has Int 49 and tech use +30, so that is 2 DoS (if the difficulty is regular)

Would the +10 from your mechadendrite apply?

You mean form the Utility mechadendrite? I didnt check it, but its possible. I cant really check it now, can do it later

As this is a long-duration thing, can the bonus from Foresight (the talent) apply?

Foresight is for when you come across a problem that then requires some kind of INT roll. You consider the problem for a while and then foresight gives you a bonus. It could well be useful here but not yet as there is no 'problem' to consider.

For future reference, can I assume anything humans have access to today, they are likely to have? I do like to get descriptive, especially in a space that is mostly my character's. One day I would like to do a long description of his office.

Do you mean what you and I have access to? Broadly yes but remember the mechanicus is regressive. Anyway ifs its just for flavour I'm sure whatever will be fine.

Should give us some help

The mechandrites are built into the stasis device though so they are not your mechandrites. Lazarus also doesn't have a MUI?

Perhaps there is less mechandrites (12 is a lot) and some space where operators can insert their own appendages.,

I did mention in my initial post:

There where over a dozen such mechadendrites, and ports within the structure to insert dozens more. And we havent specified the enclosure size either; if the dozen are on the ceiling of the thing, there could be space through the sides.

PM with Wendigo and Blackadder with initial findings so they can construct the IC

OK, I have caught up. Currently not much to do - aside from chat with Lucretia about potential candidates. Carn, do any of the 113 candidates stand out for any particular reason. Any anomalies or quirks?

Zahleezah would be zeroing in on those. Personality and ability to think outside the box goes a long way on the battlefield. For a personal protection retinue, it serves a better purpose than straight up battle in the field.

Ok I get the idea. Generally I imagine skitarii to be very 'straight laced' but there will be some who buck the trend, I will come up with some candidates. There is also the potential to pinch some of the crew aboard the Photon. I'll come up with something in the next day or so.


FYI ALL - I am away on holiday from Sunday for a whole week. Hopefully leave it where you can RP amongst yourselves while I'm gone.

@Autopsy peeps. The head is next.

@Blackadder, another tech use roll please.
@both, archeotech rolls also

@the Bridge... I also have something to keep you occupied. Will be updating tomorrow.

Have a good time

Archeotech:

https://orokos.com/roll/715471 53 vs 69, 3 DoS

Need a Tech Use from Blackadder before I can update the Autopsy.

Tech use roll - 9; 7 (8?) DoS

tech use:

@wendigo @blackadder

In the head there are
- two memory/processing cores; one is twice as large as the other
- secondary power cell, which like the main power core is dead.
- There are various smaller components which due to their location are likely for auditory, visual and olfactory perceptions

Let me know precisely what the plan is here and then give me Tech Use and Archetech rolls.

The memory / processing cores will of course require power to transfer any data. If that is possible.

I very busy today so I probably won't be able to write a post today. I'll probably write it tommorow. Sorry.

No problem.

FL (archeotech):

I would assume removal of the memory cores, reintegration in another power system, then attempting to remove raw data. Somthing like what the security expert proposes at the end of this article:

https://techcrunch.com/2019/04/08/secret-service-mar-a-lago/

Any response on My last IC?

I agree, we can try that. I propose we first remove the smaller of the cores. There is a question of compatibilty of power systems, but if they look similar, who knows.

So, if wendingo agrees, we will proceed with extracting one of the memory cores (or both, but I would start with smaller), and try to reintegrate them into a device on the servitor that we brought in for that purpose.

Rolls:

Tech use: 58 vs 79, 3 DoS

tech use roll:

Archeotech: 44 vs 49, 1 DoS

Archeotech:

I will reply IC when we agree on how to proceed

Regarding last IC post.

Lets get over these next set of results/investigations before the message from the bridge comes through.

I noticed this stuff too late. I'll wait for the response from the surgery before reposting my reaction to the message from the bridge.

You have a PM

Hm, I didnt get PM, maybe it was lost in the vastness of internet.

I sent the PM to Wendigo.

You should have it now.

Do you have more to add for us in the med-bay? I want to check before responding.

I think the med-bay is done with for now unless you wish to converse further with Lazarus. Lucretia is also waiting outside (on guard) if you wish to RP with her.

@Secutors sorry for the delay in getting the list of 'applicants' to you. it won't be much longer.

Ah, my question was more along the lines of "if nothing happened on the bridge at the end of the countdown, maybe something happened here".

I will respond soon, I mostly want to start investigating the event. Namely, I thought I had trained my crew better than that (tension is expected, sobbing is not). In any case, this event must be investigated.

No reports come in of anything happening anywhere.

What do I need to roll?

Tech Use will do.

Can Augustus assist him? I definitly want to put our full effort here (perhaps we should get blackadder involved as well, he has great tech-use)

Zindalus is going to have to plug himself in and 'look through code, message brokers, routing etc...', that feels like to me a solo thing. So no assisting.

Thats not to say others can't look also. Give ZIndalus a chance first though as he was already there.

PM is with you

I think you're also missing your +10 for MUI

Hey all.

Sadly, I think I am going to drop this game. As much as I like the character I have created, I am having a very difficult time getting into playing her. This is causing me to delay my responses which then leads to a huge back-log of awesome RPing from you all to catch up on. But I know better than to force myself to be in a game that I am not 100% dedicated to. It isn't fair to any of you.

Perhaps in the future I will come around. Apologies if this messes anyone up.
