Posting to watch, you guys are hilarious.
I kind of wish we had a way of displaying a live recording for non-players.
Back to the RP:
"Let me get this straight: We designed a specialized radiofrequency broadcasting system, capable of being detected kilometers away, and built it, with multiple redundancies, into the hundreds of cargo pods that were attached to the Unity. Am I right, so far?"
"Yes, Mister PTTG."
"And this system includes an advanced encryption system that not only locks the pod, but allows us to identify where it is, but also conclusively identify it as a cargo pod from our ship."
"Yessir."
"We have so far detected eight such pod signatures."
"Well, actually-"
"I was
told they were pod signatures. Pods which might contain vehicles, tools, supplies, even energy or advanced research documents!"
"Um, yes, sir."
"And EVERY SINGLE POD has so far turned out to be, in fact, an alien structure of unfathomable power and mysterious origin, which, while surely a useful machine, is utterly immobile and has made a great deal of our inhabitable area only slightly better than worthless."
"
yes sir."
"Can you tell the difference between a crate and a giant magical rock?"
"
no sir."
"Well, at least you've got that right."
[Later]
"Hey man, don't worry about it. He's just still mad at you for landing the first colony pod a thousand miles inland instead of on the coast so we'd have boats and stuff..."
