Rebel Base 2 (OoC 2)

GM, I'm guessing you missed my question:
quote:
OOC: GM, what is the difficulty?  Computer skill?

I'm assuming it is a Computer roll, but not sure what the Difficulty is.  I checked the table, but Computer was lacking a row of its own.

[Private to Jurell Delgar:
quote:
Out of curiosity, how did you get 4s in two characteristics without going over the maximum experience

I was wondering the same thing myself.

I'm camping with the BSA tonight, be back sometime tomorrow afternoon, so I'll be out for at least 24 hours.  ;)

Have fun camping!

[Private to 'Kraken': Yeah, that looks like an illegal character creation.  That should really get fixed before he starts making rolls as that's unbalanced.  I'm pretty sure GMs can read private lines.  GM, could you discuss with Jospi fixing his character since he did it incorrectly?]

I said it earlier in the of character post. It will be 3D comma with an extra one boost if you can say in your post who you think it was who put the program into place.

I didn't buy a com, so I wasn't sure if I was outfitted with one at some point or something.

There is a ship intercom in every room, or at least I always assume that.

Oh, I had no idea!  Most ship layouts I've seen of the YT series tend to have one intercom in a particular location on the ship (ref: SWtOR), so I assumed they were not in every room.  Distance in short enough that people could probably hear.

For safety reasons, there's an intercom in most rooms that crew might reasonably be in. The ones aboard the Shimmer are in working order, for now.

Somehow I knew that Jurell was going to look like the bad guy in all of this. I actually started writing an "in b4" post in the OOC this morning then erased it. xD

in b4 post?

Also, Hypno has been on my radar as a spy / traitor ever since we got the memory wiped and command gave it back to us.

That **** thing almost killed the whole party on its own.

I wouldnt be surprised if its core memory survived the wipe, and is existing below the surface.  It comes out, takes charge, then goes back into the background.  The core consciousness does not even know about it.

That is what I have been thinking ever since it started.

I have had no proof, so nothing to be done but move on.

You've never seen an "in b4" post?  Like "In b4 that girl becomes the romance interest" or "in b4 the bad guy is really his father?"

It's meant as an expression of predicting something that is obviously going to happen in a plot.

Caddanra 'Caddy' Manitu:
The restraining bolt is, most certainly, still in the stores and exactly where Caddy left it when they loaded their supplies.   She doesn't comment about Forim leaving his post though she does raise and eyebrow... and will slip into his seat as he leaves.  Hopefully she'll be able to keep an eye on things while he is away.



Caddy's station is in the cockpit, however she decided to spend the time in her cabin, not that I commented on that ;)  Good thing neither of us are commenting on anything ;)

Also, I think you missed the sitrep I posted in my earlier post - our options are 1) land, 2) com base and leave, 3) com base and wait, 4) just leave.

Also, I gave the B1 battle droid the con in my post.  Didnt want to send him to deal with the droids :P.  Because that is how I roll.

Bud.  With such a big group.  I am deliberately avoiding grabbing all the game time.  You are the pilot. You know best aboard ship.   If you prefer I order you about, just say.

Rebel Base 2 (OoC 2)

and I appriciate that, However Just because I am the pilot, doesnt mean I get ALL the screen time on board.  I try to share all screen time opportunities with everyone - however I did give you three options

Forim Luk:
Turning to Caddy he says "Orders?  We can send a transmission to the planet and jump out.  We can just Jump out and then come back if needed.  Or we can go back and land.  Or something else I have not thought of."


I picture you being in the cockpit ready to hop on the com if needed and pick options that are provided to you.  If it was up to me, I would turn around and land back in the hangar, mission be damned.  We have a problem that is potentially a) broadcasting our location and b) able to shut down our hyperdrive and kill everyone aboard.

But mission secrecy orders that Forim may or may not have mean that jumping away and finding a moon to land on is better for the mission.

I agree, that while we are flying I can probably make most calls, but you are still the CO and get final say in the larger decision.

Jospi Renning:
Upon finally being escorted from the prison cell they had been keeping them all in for the past two days, Jospi was in a foul mood.  Their lieutenant had displayed a tendency toward bullying or otherwise ignored her team members.  That left him sitting in a room when he should have been working on the ship, going over all of the systems, effecting repairs, making upgrades and "requisitioning" additional power and fuel cells to extend their range (if only in case of their having to make a fast break from their objective).  As they finally arrived at the ship, some mechanic began explaining to him what he and his crew did to the ship, as if their work came with a warranty.

I will note that Jospi will have noticed that Forim, and probably Caddy by extension, made A LOT of noise to get us on the ship earlier the entire time we were Jailed.  With the GMs moving us forward so we can have this encounter in Space instead of on the ground I am assuming we got stonewalled.

Just wanted to let you the player know that you the character knows were were strongly advocating to get on the ship and overlook everything before we left personally.

Aye.   We're moving forward to the cool bits :)

Apparently we've beaten the Hypno droid too... so make some roles (2d or 3d I'm guessing - we can't be holding up the entire game for every roll - check the difficult matrix the GM posted for us!) and once you guys tell me the ship is 'ready', we can get moving :-)

I would love to be wrong about this.  Please point me to the IC posts where your characters did this.  This is the only reference to it I can find and it is the only mention, albeit tangentially, that I saw and partially what I based my in character post on.

Forim Luk:
As the team was usherd out without the chance to spend ANY time looking over the ship for anything, Forim says "New Plan.  I will do the indoor tour while we are in hyperspace, and the outdoor tour at our refueling station."

Re: Rebel Base 2 (OoC 2)

Forim Luk:
Smiling, Flight Officer Luk says to Kraken "Many hands make light work.  Anyone who wants to learn the quirks of our ship is welcome to to join me for the ground tour."


When I posted this, I had thought we would shortly be given leave to go over the ship.  The intention behind this post was to have a 6+ hour tour of the ship, its insides, and any modifications I know about (including the secret storage) and any by-passes I have had to make in the past.  It was not obvious, but this is where I was agreeing with you IC.

We moved forward 3 days without any in between, so I just rolled with it.

However, even though that IC time was completely skilled over, I wanted to let you know that Forim would be pushing to get us on the ship.  He was the mechanic before, and knows the value of examining your ship before you fly it.  This time it seems like command was telling us otherwise.  However, Forim is 100% behind you that we SHOULD have been given time to examine our ship before we got into space.  And look what happened, we had a problem within 5 minutes of launching.  Command is getting a harshly worded report about the importance of a pilot having time to go over his ship before a mission.

Forim Luk:
Jospi will be best spent free of any stations so he can fix whatever explodes as it happens.  I will be your Backup Mechanic.  I have spent probably over a hundred hours under the panels of that ship so far.  Let me know any assistance you need, and I would be happy to support you.

Re: Rebel Base 2 (OoC 2)

In reply to Forim Luk (msg # 104):

I did see those posts, but didn't know what time frame you had in mind for the tour.  Additionally, Jospi was just interested in getting his hands dirty, so was not thinking about a tour of the ship.

I was specifically referring to Jospi asking IC for our lieutenant to get him an escort to get to the ship.

Yes, this mishandling is suspicious as ****.  Makes his foul temper look appropriate, don't it?  Still, he kept that to himself and that's where it stays... for now.

Re: Rebel Base 2 (OoC 2)

Oddly, I do this kinda thing for a living... you complain to Forim, who has harsh words with me.   I sooth things over and diplomatically mention this to command who either tell me openly it was essential or imply as much... so I hunt for the why only to find out it really was essential... or someone screwed up.   Either way I use the event as leverage for 'favours' for future needs :)

Re: Rebel Base 2 (OoC 2)

I'd like a place where we can pick up some legitimate work hauling goods to our destination. I intend negotiating the deal... and hopefully making them feel they won a hard deal. We'll gain legitimacy, some creds, future cover and of course, a place to refuel.

For this to work we'll need legitimate looking credentials... which I will be asking my crew to fabricate on the way there (assuming the ones we have aren't good enough)

I will be studying our destination so that I can get something viable to haul.
