We’ll see if they can make it happen. They’re having problems with the wiring because of course they are. 🙄

I am waiting for T'Lara's contribution regarding the strange writings, before making another post.

OK.  I've slipped a PM into Nipay's post for her, so she has the info she needs to post.  ;)

T'Lara's post is up.  Anything further?

Sorry folks, life is doing some crappy gymnastics right now.
I hope to get a post up in the next day or so.

No worries man.  Just wanted to make sure you saw it.

2020 continues to suck.

Grant Imahara just died. He was only 49.

Best known for Mythbusters, to me he will always be Sulu (from Star Trek: Continues). :(

My mum's best friend died of heart attack yesterday ... then, that night while she was out at dinner with my sister, her beloved pet drowned in the toilet.

Meanwhile, my mother-in-law (a good friend of mine) is in hospital, probably loosing her long-fought battle with cancer.

2020 doth indeed suck.

Dude, so sorry.

Wish there was something I could do.

you have my thoughts and condolences as well..

and if there's anything we can do, you have but to ask..

We just need a roll from T'Lara.

Just a quick update before work guys.  Sorry for the brevity.

So, Mr. GM, do we need something more powerful than a Tricorder to translate?  If so, if we need at least the shuttle's computer, can we at least bring a copy of the database on a Tricorder in case we're cut off from both the ship and shuttle?

No, with the rolls you've already made, you can use a tricorder to translate.  Or dig out an old baton from the locker (universal translator).  It will help to have T'Lara and Decker both present to deal with complex translations; and Nipay might help, if she's not elsewhere. ;)

Uh, just to be clear on the situation, isn't the big door to the outside - the door the shuttle flew through - already open?  Didn't it open up when we scanned the surface from the shuttle? Isn't that how we got in?

It is.

Just waiting on Mcreeg and the rest...

Not like Mcreeg to go so long without posting, hope he's okay.

I'll move things along shortly without him if need be, but I hope he's a'ight.

I think I see where the confusion is here.

I have assumed (looking back, there is nothing to suggest) that once inside the landing bay, there will be some kind of doors to be opened to leave the bay and enter the artificial, artefact world itself.

My comment:was referring to those inner doors that I was seeing in my minds eye ... not the great, exit portal doors.


If that is not the case, and we can simply walk on through into the world beyond, ch'Pertha will have directed Javker to assist Mcreeg investigating the shuttle ... while asking Decker and T'Lara to continue scanning and deciphering the symbol.


Yes, we are on some kind of deadline ... but ch'Pertha is willing to spend a little time getting their facts and bearings (and an additional escape route if possible) than charging in.
The Abyss personnel have been here ... how long? ... and can wait another 1/2 hour if need be for ch'Pertha to keep his own team safe.

sorry I was gone so long everyone, things became much like what would happen if the three stooges wrote and acted in a telenovella lol

Of anyone wants to by the rules, Book Bundle have a bundle on offer:

Yeah, I took advantage of it and tried to spread the news around.
