Re: OOC: Chat and Silliness welcomed
Stealth pods could be acquired..you would need to make a short trip to a HUB colony, or Main naval Yard for them though...no problem there ..consider it a test rive.
Cyberoids are standing by, and several organic veterans are interested n a job as well.
SHE, which is the actual name the "Witch queen of the bug-lizards" goes by. is a memebr of an extinct caste of the Q'sa. A high queen which at one time ruled a large portion of Osahdii space.
According to a witness and data files found on the same world as SHE, they are psionic, tech savvy, and instinctive strategists. Up until about 100-50 thousand years ago they were at war with the O'sahdii and the first wave of humans taken off world and resettled..And for the most part the Queens are why none of the first wave colonies and races exist today....it was after all a war between to groups equally as powerful, and ten generations ahead of current technology...even the Osahdii lost ground Tech Level wise during the Great war.
What humans know as the Q'sa are survivors of a domestic servant caste of the Original Q'sa, basically their chambermaids., cooks, and garbage collectors.A Q'sa warrior, or warrior queen Q'sa is stronger faster, and smarter than any Q'sa met before...You can ask Elspeth and Balkiir about those..they are the only humans who have fought them face to face in 50,000 years.
So yeah your gonna need labs, fortunately Modern labs are designed to be multi-functional and compact with nano-machine based manufacturing devices to supply any particular device you need...You can fit a modern CSI lab into a broom closet with he tech available for A Pax universe Ship.
Actually when it comes to scientific, and computer gear the average tech level for common use is around TL 15-17 compared to Typical Imperium standards, AI assist is common, psuedo intelect computers are everywhere..
your frikking kitchen can have it's own personality..it's not sentient but it is a very good imitation of a living personality.Kids have Virtual Intelligent toys, that act as health monitors, and security systems..up to the pint of being armed.
Holographic systems are hi res full color, near perfect...at least in stationary entertainment systems. The field units are monochrome high res, and tend to glitch a bit when shaken or subjected to rough treatment.
So in effect a single lab is fine, TWO labs is great!!! It's the equivalent of a typical hospital, or major city crime lab.
