In reply to Cheng ch'Zynes (msg # 355):

   Just posted about reviving and stabilizing the wounded, so you should be at least ambulatory.

Welcome!

We're here to help, welcome to the party Cheng, If you have any questions feel free to ask. :)

I will likely be going to the ER later, due to a fall and i don't know if they'll admit me, if they do I may be absent for a few days up to a month, just giving heads up

Oh man, hope everything is okay and you recover quickly

Heal well.

not admitted, gonna be in pain for next week or so though.

  Get well soon.

What would you like us to roll to try to simulate the signal?

does the belfast have a tractor beam? and how far away is our shuttle? I got a few ideas.

I'm still waiting to hear back from universe about what i should roll, I think it'd be insight/conn or reason/conn but its hard to say, I can think of 5 combinations that might fit this scenario.

The belfast has a tractor beam but with a hole through it no clue if it is functional.

The shuttle is operational and without the subspace signal is perfectly safe to fly.

The belfast isnt in orbit anymore and is apparently drifting out of control right now.

Just as an FYI it wasn’t a bad idea, just that there is a lot more going on then you understand at the moment.

I was about to post something along the lines of: “Since we couldn't analyze the makeup of this facility, -and- we have reason to suspect that these aliens did not make this base after all, there is a possibility that it could survive the bombardment..."

Just wanted to check my logic here, I seem to recall someone saying we couldn't analyze most of the stuff in here. If so I wanted to try to calculate the trajectories of the incoming shells and try to move colonists to areas that will be more likely to survive. That's assuming no one comes up with a better idea to save our hides. >_<

I would argue that's a Reason + Security check, difficulty two given the amount of unknown variables involved.

Let me know if I misunderstood the Romulan's request.  If so I'll edit my post.

Okay a lot of stuff going on that needs to be clarified:

1) There is only one blast door that needs to be shut. The other ones are kilometers away and out of the blast zone as well as not being reachable in the time alloted.

2) With the information on hand you cannot use the signal for communication. You don't have a way of translating the alien language into an electronic signal and the alien vessel in orbit isn't transmitting anything. The problem isn't that the translators in your comm badges aren't good enough, the problem is you've got a dead unknown language on one side and a stone wall on the other. The Belfast isn't going to be able to help. Either the alien vessel in orbit needs to start communications or you'll need to find some kind of database to understand how to translate the written language into a communication signal. Without one of those two things you're just blindly guessing and most likely broadcasting jibberish.

So I think that means we need to focus on operation: duck and cover/run away.

On the communication part. I was confused. Seemed that we needed to check to see if we could loop the frequency to the Belfast since it has the Universal Translator.

I think the comm badges and tricorders all have universal translators loaded.

Is anyone else heading to work on the blast doors?

I might suggest everyone head up for one destination or another.

Then there's a chance we beam everyone on to the shuttle and high-tail it out of here soon as the doors are closed.

its the best plan, however it could also lead to all our deaths, if one of those MAC rounds hits us.

Things are going quiet and days are going by without posting. What's everyone up to?

I'm going through depression, but mainly I don't have a ton to do atm, we're fleeing to the surface.  You could reply to how the two romulans react to me helping them up? but ... really not much to do till we get to the shuttles right?
