Thanks JR, even a basic map helps visualize things.

Well, I can't totally spoil you with images ;-)

In reply to JR (msg # 91):

I like that!!!

Never fear...

I will be traveling again until monday. I will try to post. Things should return to normal for a couple weeks at least after.

What is Veronica's position, and what is she trained in?

She is one of the ship's engineers. Malcolm has seen her a few times, and spoken to her exactly once before this mission. She seems to be comfortable moving about the ship, and she isn't perturbed about the corpses. The pair of pistols in her tactical holsters suggests that she knows how to use the weapons.

We need to hold up a bit on exploring the after hatch until Matt can catch up.

Sorry guys, been busy at work and we're getting our hardwood floors redone which has thrown me off routine as well.

I have three bedrooms you can have done for me :-D

No thanks!  :)

Moving all the furniture and sleeping out in the living room is enough of a pain.

Yeah, home remodeling is painful, but so worth it.

For us the floors were long over due.

Can we get through the hatch or is it wedged from the other side?

It's open enough to get through. Your suits are pretty well impervious to snags, so no real worries there.

Gotcha, thanks.

Sorry, but I messed up the description somewhat. The hatch from the crew area leads into a lift shaft, where the car itself is stuck at the upper deck. Brent will have to step down into the shaft (about a meter down, and then open another hatch to see into the cargo bay.

Unless told otherwise, I will presume that he made the hop down, which is easily accomplished in the very low gravity. The post, then, will refer to the hatch into the cargo bay proper.

Sorry for the confusion..

No sweat, that makes sense.

So there is a half level below us into the cargo area as well as one above?

Yes, that's correct.

Hmmm... at least I have some spatial reference :)  Usually I am just confused!

So is the bulkhead itself 2000K?  That's melting steel kind of temperatures!

Hm, yeah that doesn't make sense. Let's revise that to 400K.

Can Malcolm use any of his skills, like cryptography, to try and decipher the language that he has seen?

Also, do I need to roll for using the computer station? Do my computer science skills come into play? :-)

Lots of questions...

make a skill check roll for the language, and yes, your computer skills will definitely help.

400K is above boiling but not hot enough to light paper.  That's more manageable.

To Brent does this seem like something normal?  It seems odd at least to Matt :)

Mechanical systems 12

22:37, Today: Matt rolled 9 using 3d6.  Hot wall.
