The command triad is discussing some things and I think they’ll be calling a full crew meeting so the player cast can vote.

That said I think everyone has played out everything they wanted to fit the interlude. If there is something you need GM approval for or are interacting with an NPC please let me know.

Pneumonia sucks. Put me right into hospital for a few days and I'm still trying to recover.

Ouch.

Hope you feel better soon.

Focus on your health, the game will still be here when you're feeling better.

Hope you recover quickly.

Ouch! Get well soon!

Feel better, hon.

I am going to start moving this along by having a crew meeting on the Crew Galley deck.

One item that is going to come up is that Babylon Station is a script only (i.e. cash) station. This is because it is an illegal smuggling port doing illegal things, and one sure way to be found out by the UNN and MCRN is to be conducting electronic banking transactions which are tracked.

So, I have two ways of dealing with the fact that the characters escaped Eros with only the clothes on their backs, and whatever physical cash they may have had in their pockets.

1. Treat your income score as if it were a temporary income score, where you only get to use that income once. So, if you have an income of 2, you could split it and make two purchases with a +1 to your two income rolls.
   
2. Each player rolls to see how much of their income score is in hard currency and with them when the outbreak occurred. What each player rolls will be variable so that they could have -2 to their income score in physical cash on hand. For example, if your income score is 2 you roll a 1d4-2. The highest roll would be 2 and the lowest a negative 2.

We also have a number of things that can be sold, we could use that to generate a separate "Ship's Cash" type income score that would work like normal system mechanics and cover whatever purchases we are able to make on the station.  That isn't the most efficient use of some of our marketable items but it would allow for some degree of urgency to be factored in.

I’m sure this will come up in the conversation.

-1 actually --> 1 - 2 = -1

I failed my basic math test….

I was looking at that too...

LOL <3

Thank you all. Feeling better but tire easily still. Sadly, acute issues like this exacerbate chronic issues so that gives me more to recover from.

Beltalowda no feel gut. Mi say pasheng to dis felota, sasa ke?

Husband in hospital.

Damn! Hope he gets better soon.

Oh dear...! :(

How is he doing?

He got out yesterday and is delighted to be back home.

Just fed him a bowl of chilli & a ice cream, and he's crawled off to bed.

That took a while, glad he’s doing better. :)

How’s the game, Darkside?

Goods News!


Van should be posting in the galley thread soon. The command triad will be going to go over some options and so forth of where to go after stopping at Babylon Station.

The crew will have some important decisions to make.  A vote may be necessary which means player characters may want to make a persuasion roll focused on a NPC they have a relationship with to get them to vote the same as the PC.

In reply to Darkside Trooper (msg # 973):

Hi everyone,

Please accept my apologies for my delay! In the middle of a move. Not that this physically prevents me from posting, but it's a struggle to find the time and energy. Although, to be clear I am still interested, involved and engaged.

A few things are going to be coming up. At one point I had an idea how I wanted to lay things out but that's just a fuzzy memory now. So please bear with me. My character is not the sole leader here but I'm taking it upon myself to have my character speak for the command cadre. If you think I'm stepping on toes in or out-of-character, please advise. I promise it's not deliberate! Just trying to do this game justice and move the story along.

As there are two vessels, and not everyone can be present at the same time, I am going to make my IC post to the communications thread. Presumably everyone has access to a hand terminal, ship terminal, etc.

How about we discuss it OOC? Would that be easier?

Otherwise, happy to respond IC when you decide to drop a post.

In character decisions/discussions should take place IC and not in OOC.

In reply to Asha Blackburn (msg # 975):

I am working on a post now. I think we should primarily hash this out IC.

Sometimes we, as players, might personally object or have input and that might be more suited to OOC.

But if at all possible let's have our characters do the talking!
