In reply to The Watcher (msg # 53):

super.

In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 54):

If you can get it flat enough I could phase through.... I'm sure she wouldn't freak out over that...

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 55):

I mean, we could just press the airlock up against the box and cycle the atmosphere in it regardless of how flat the connection is.  I was more wondering how viable cutting a hole with my laser would be, since that optimally needs an actual seal.

It's my understanding that the concern is how to get the survivor out of the tin box and into our ship without venting him into the vacuum. I'm pretty confident that we can punch a hole in whatever we want to, given enough time.

Can Rebecca carry stuff with her when she phases?

In reply to Xander (msg # 57):

yeah if we can get him a suit this gets easier.

In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 58):

The answer is that Rebecca doesn't know yet.

But I do.

Seems like the GM is trying to be less helpful than Battalion.

I'll see to that...

Wait I thought Ceres was being terraformed by SAGE who were a little touchy about visitors, is there any sign of all that, or just a crater on an empty rock?

In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 61):

You were indeed expecting to find a partially terraformed world.

What you found is an empty rock and a glowing crater.

Though we were expecting to find a crashed exploration vessel, correct? Or at least, a reason for why a vessel would be 'out of contact'?

In reply to Xander (msg # 63):

You were hoping to find a vessel that was in distress but not actively crashed. Seems like you might have been too late to help.

None of that explains why Ceres is not 1) better terraformed and 2) without an obvious SAGE presence, either in its local space or on the planet itself.

Do our EVA suits incorporate video cameras into the helmets? And if so, are we seeing Rebecca's feed?

In reply to Xander (msg # 65):

Nope. But you can suggest that upgrade at the next annual vendor's conference!

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 66):

but none of that closed circuit shit, if my helmet has a video feed I want to be able to get netflix on it.

In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 67):

Seconded

The helmet feed is for porn (for porn!)

In reply to Xander (msg # 69):

...and now THAT song is stuck in my head...

In reply to Batallion (msg # 70):

Why you think the feed was born?

PORN PORN PORN!

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 71):



Did you mean that it was connecting rooms North, East, and West?  Since I came in from the south?

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 72):

Nope, the hallway did connect the southern room (where you came from) to the northern room (smoke) and the eastern room (dripping).

The blast doors slammed shut to cut off the southern room from the hallway, the smoke room, and the dripping room. Does that make sense?

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 73):

Then what is to the west?

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 74):

Nothing. There has never been anything to the west. The hull is that way.

As I understand it, Rebecca did start to explore the area beyond the extra-shielded eastern blast doors, but was blocked by an electrified puddle.

Xander wants to know if we

A) send Rebecca to attempt to fix the downed line somehow, potentially restoring power to the blast doors such that they could be opened without breaking them down

B) send Rebecca to scout beyond the electrified puddle, assuming she can somehow circumvent it (can she phase through it?)

C) Just knock the door down while Rebecca is playing with ghosts in the infirmary.

Billy seems to be in favor of C, and Xander doesn't really care, provided we have a plan to handle survivors on the other side of the door if we irrevocably vent the atmo.

That plan could be as simple as 'take them temporarily to the northern room before the suffocate, then go get them EVA suits'

I just want to make sure we're all on the same page before we do something irreversible to the blast door.

In reply to Xander (msg # 76):

no she's behind the northern blast doors, the puddle was to the eastern side of the chamber beyond.  we haven't seen anything beyond the eastern doors because the console is fubar and she flipped a coin on which door she phased through, which in hindsight we probably should have considered for longer.
