That does sound very reasonable, but Draignean suggested we'd earn so little we wouldn't be able to eat.

And now Khate has covered our only contact in paralysis rainbows, so, there you go.

Finding time to check her messaging, Aubrey replies as quickly as possible, but unfortunately leaves time for Khate to get involved in the diplomatic proceedings…

Greetings, ship. Situation is under control. Thank you for advertising service. I liked it very much and may be interested in browsing another time soon. Please request BM to prepare furthest departure possible in 300 seconds. Keep us updated on any approaching activity.

”Clarke. Perhaps you know of the location of an important piece of metal brought on board the station? Surely a man with an eye for detail like you would notice such important luggage being brought on board? By the one with the panther?”

Aubrey prepares to overload and break the cat’s enhancements if she does indeed try anything funny.

Otherwise, search the station systems for Varkonius’s room and the way there. I don’t suppose there is any computer record of his having brought on important luggage?

Is there a quick way of connecting the control of all the doors between us and the target to my mindhack abilities? If this would be feasible, do so, perhaps whilst Khate and Scarlet secure the prisoners.

Then, when they are ready, let’s check the store room we were held prisoner in and then head to outside of Varkonius’ room.

Ha, well - I don't know if we have 2 minutes to spare. Let's just cover her in paralysispaint.

I don't think we can trust a deal as 25% or 12.5% is not good enough for any of the parties involved.

But we also have to assume the other mercies are our equal in terms of ability, and superior in terms of number. Hmm.

Draignean: can mindhack implants be... removed?

I am just wondering the best way we can subdue this Felid, who we obviously can't put in the prison room we were dumped in. Probably just smack in the head and cover in Khate's amazing balls would be best. And maybe then put them all in the storage prison room.

People generally like that kind of thing. I am in one scifi game and would consider another. My reaction to reading the original post thread was first, ooh, lovely premise and then second, aah, but that's too many player slots and a lot of skills.

Lovely stuff, Draignean

Edit: this is presumably Zee. Khate should probably subdue her once we finish talking as we have no safe method of keeping her securely. We could either check for the right room, get the object and leave, or we could first try to interrogate Zee to get an idea of enemy numbers etc. We could possibly crosscheck her information by reviewing video evidence but this would take time.

Scarlet should pursue her evacuation plan too / look into its feasibility.

My vote would be for a cursory interrogation whilst Aubrey locates the room on the computers, KO Zee, get to the room quickly. It's probably trapped or protected.

"Wait..."

Action:
Number the stabilisers 1-10. Overload 1-10 blocks in each respectively. There will be a detected overload: divide by 0.237 to identify overloaded stabiliser.

Edit message to crew thus:

Khate:ULTRAVIOLENCE in reception, 95 sec. Kesari:break station systems, 93s. BM. Prepare to leave. Station occupied; taken; breaking out.

Immediately work on opening door for 94 seconds from expected receipt of message.

"Scarlet, I expect this to take 94 seconds. We take the desk and when Khate arrives we lockdown. Ready?"
