Off Course (Episode 4)

Formerly the play-by-post forum for my TSGS Space Force game, now the private forum for development of the new Space Force Science Fiction RPG game. I've retained the entirety of the original game threads here, to be mined for possible content. See the introductory post for more information.

Driscoll overhears the read-out, his ears perking up hearing about the static-proof fabric and the tripod.

"Let's go check that out. If the tripod legs open far enough, they can provide a frame for some kind of shielding."

"Wrap it up like a riot shield? That's what I was thinking. We should hurry though. I don't know how much time we have before that thing starts drilling again. Sam, does the ship still look to be in danger?"

Samantha dutifully checks the computer for hull and system integrity and relays what she finds to the others.

Samantha checked the readouts, and saw that the Tauran device seemed to still be inactive. In particular, air loss was no longer registering on the indicators.

Are the indicators working? Is this ship like NASA, with four different sensors for the same indicator? :)

Amanda will rig up a cloth shield "just in case"

How would Amanda know? You've not posted this as a statement to the room, so Samantha doesn't know you've asked.

Amanda found preparing a shield using the tripod and the fabric to be a fairly easy task. Among the other things in the compartment where she found the fabric was a roll of something that looked and worked remarkably like duct tape.

Checks that the indicators are working and then that the apparatus that checks the indicator checkers are working and then...stops and gives Amanda a long suffering stare before turning back to her learning of the alien language.

A brief review of the ship's schematics revealed nothing... as soon as Samantha saw their complexity, she knew it would take weeks to even guess at the answer to Amanda's question.

"Thanks for trying. Driscoll, do you mind helping me suit back up?"

Once suited up, Amanda will (drink her Tang check her oxygen check her suit close the hatch tether all equipment cycle the airlock etc) depart back into nullspace for her second EVA of the day. This is going to get a bit awkward. She'll use the gravitron device in one hand and the shield in the other, and when she gets close to the robot she'll replace the gravitron device with her Vulcan. Unless Driscoll orders otherwise or Sam suggests a better pln, she'll shoot first, ask questions later. Sorry about what that might mean for future engineering breakthroughs.
