Even if that means the civilisation goes extinct. That pesky Prime Directive always gets in the way.

You write a good Ferengi, Bossman. I'm smiling a lot through this 'negotiation.'

Don't forget about your Values! Because this is a Prime Directive mission the Prime Directive is added as a value for every Starfleet character to either use or reject as appropriate.

Don't forget that leveraging or challenging values is a great way to grow your character.

Finally I'll be re-reading the advancement rules to award "XP" so to speak for Episode 1.

how aware am i of things outside engineering atm? :)

The Oberon is a small ship. You can rightly be anywhere you want to be on it at pretty much any given time BUT if you'd like you can also whip up a support officer, like a comms officer or operations crewman etc. to be involved in the scene...

I imagine if this is the same style of device as before, that Sarah will be sent down to look at it, given she's the only engineer on the crew that has past experience with similar devices.

Hey everyone, I have FINALLY gotten my correct description posted for your reading pleasure.

sounds cute  Sebastian ;) I look forward to rping with ya :) can I assist from down in engineering? to help lessen the effect of the complication or get more successes for us?

So - Federation types. What areas of the ship do I have access to? I'm assuming my quarters, the mess, the equivalent to 10 Forward if we have one and the bridge?

Would you have me on the bridge for our crossing into the Hellsmouth?

Oi! Federation people! Please to answer my question.

I say bridge! In for a penny, in for a pound.

That's how pennies work, right? I'm not so much with the money mostly.

Personally I prefer pounds to pennies and I always adore alliteration.

All alliteration is awesome. Always.

I'm taking an indefinite break to try to catch up with IRL stuff. Feel free to puppet me. Have fun!

Who wants to go on the away mission? Who wants to stay back and roll up a crewman security or science redshirt to go instead? I can also roll up some crewmen if people are busy but once I get a name I can assign them to you so you can start posting as them.

I'm fine with either :P

I'll be uploaded the Ferengi map tonight. Took a little while to get it prepared but the upside is its not just a system map but also includes some interesting metadata :)

Also I've noted that Sarah is "on the fence" but what is everyone else doing?

Who is going down to the surface? Who is going to create a crewman to go down to the surface?

Oops, my fault...

Sebastian will pretty much always want to be part of an away team.

I'll go. I don't have any pesky Prime Directive I need to watch out for.

To clarify the Ferengi map makes no distinction between warp and pre-warp so until it hits an empire it either notes a system as exploitable or non-exploitable and doesn’t go into much detail. You will get bonus information on future encounters with a decidedly Ferengi spin but I am not going to populate every square revealed just yet.

So where does the Prime Directive stand on pre-warp civilizations that have already been tainted by the Ferengi?

According to VOY it still stands and steps should be taken to remove tainted technology/influence if possible.

Do you guys like me providing "obvious" possible rolls and their difficulties? I don't want to make you feel like I'm railroading you and I'm open to other options but I also know how hard it can be to drive games like this forward with a completely blank canvas as opposed to a "choose your own adventure" style game where you have several set options (and degrees of failure/success for each one) to go down.

I like it :) i look forward to playing more :) so what was the final say am i going or do i make a support engineer to go?
