bump.

Is anyone still interested in playing this?

((I sure am, sorry. The ending of Mafia got a bit hectic))

##CALLING EUROPA STATION: Can you detect any unusual or unauthorised transmissions coming from our vessel?

##ADDITIONAL: Transmissions may be in Russian, and / or encrypted.

((Same, sorry bb I'm in an offline capacity at work today and have tomorrow off, I'll get caught up and dive in hardcore))

Europa Station:

Dear Space-X, We searched both standard and off channel chatter but there is no communications we can find coming from your vessel in Russian. We have no legal manner to look in Encrpyted channels as that would be an egregious violation of the Privacy act of 2057.

We will have extra security teams on hand to assist if you require a sweep of your ship-

TRANSMISSION TERMINATED

Arthur Reed: I found him. his signal is coming from a laptop in a outlet near the Engines. It appears he may be telling the truth. cameras in that area show 3 civilians tied up. he isnt visible on camera however... weird.

##GM NOTE:

***You have 26 hours remaining until Pregame phase Ends***

signups are still open until 5pm CT OR 11UTC tomorrow. This thread will close at that point.

What are Primary and Secondary replicator requests? Can I replicate ANYTHING?

Do we have other options for specialists? Could we hire the Russian renegade? Apparently he can hack too.

I nominate Jamie for Captain, and DemonRHK as first mate.

##GM NOTES: Primary requests can be anything. you used 1 of your 2 and got extinguishers. The primary requests happen immediately. Secondary are any 20 items you want. You can even ask for a nuke. it may be random what you get. those secondary requests appear the following phase unlike primary which are instant.

The russian renegade as far as you know has a vendetta against brainbomb. Hes here to kill and rob the crew. not likely he would switch to being helpful.

At the station there will be specialists to hire. Arthur is not official yet it requires 1 more yes vote.

(Jamie is in sickbay being tended too after suffering a head wound against a cyborg. Protocol would make DemonRHK acting captain if you approve those two. Just so you are aware. Jamie can still propose things and vote but if he were to don a vest and try to hunt down the russian he would be fighting at diminished ability and be risking death)

I second the nominations of Jamiet for Captain and DemonRHK for second mate.

Can our replicators make credits? Are there any goods that Europa desperately requires?

Also, it might be good to get a couple more guns...?

Well... it's not excellent that Jamie's in the sick bay, but we've gotta work with what we have.

Are secondary requests personal? I.e., are they for the crew as a whole, or for individuals?

I think we should wait to find out what other specialists are available. We should at least wait until we figure out our pathway.

To what extent are the crew/counsellors armed? Have the friendly cyborgs returned, and do we get to keep them for the future?

%$^# Computer Online * ERROR

Hey guys, this will be my last transmission before Europa. I thought it might be helpful to tell you what we should worry about at Europa. So basically, if we run out of fuel ever, we fail. If our morale ever drops to 0, we fail. If our population drops to less than 10% of our starting population we fail. If the ship ever reaches 0 as far as structural integrity we all die a horrible death in the cold vaccuum of space.

With that in *&#@(())(*U**)(#@*)(*) mind**#ERROR**#

Diagnostics 1.0
Current Ship Status
Food: 5/10 (5400 Meals, each citizen eats 3 meals a day, some citizens may be eating more than that)
Fuel: 18/20
Morale: 9/10
Structural Stability: 9/20** (we sustained alot of damage from the fires and that coil + explosion)
Reserve Fuel: 0/10
Missles: 0/20
Nukes: 1/1
Population: 365 ( -8 who died in the cyborg attack) out of 1000(possible)
Upgradeable Ship Areas (4)
Engines: FTL Damaged

**I recommend we buy repairs, experts, and find a way to start making food**

(The replicators primary slot request can supply up to 2000 meals to the citizens per phase)

**It seems that our primary request for extinguishers, created only 12 of them. this may be a discrepancy. it seems when we input the order for extinguishers no number was specified and the computer used up our primary slot request on making 12 very high quality self refilling extinguishers. So the good news is, we will likely never have an issue with fires inside the ship again!, bad news is we wasted alot of slot power there**

*%&$ERROR

I tried to compute the math of how many meals 357 people will need in order live. We have 5400 stored food before even worrying about the Replication of more food. But we will need to either use primary or secondary next phase to start making food. OR we could buy food which seems dumb.

Also it appears we have 3 gardens aboard the ship where we could grow things. we would need to appoint people to these tasks. more information will be available when I am $**%&*@ REPAIRED.

Sorry! I hope that we can fix me and I can give you better advice soon.

brainbomb out.

**TRANSMISSION ENDS***

Do we have survival gear? Backdoors into the ship in case anyone gets locked out? Repair kits for hull breaches, and supplies of oxygen for life aboard the ship.

IMO: we should prep for future instances of "the technology is corrupted and trying to kill us" as well as "the people on this ship are rebelling."

Didn't we designate a space for the drinking/carousing? Can we designate another space for religious services? We ought to coordinate a funeral of sorts for those who died.... Regardless of the religious opinions of the counselors, we ought to be sympathetic to the needs of others. This one is easy to grant. Give Miriam and the others a funeral according to their own faith.

##callGM: how much of the inventory can be made in the replicators? Fuel? Reserve Fuel? Can we make "structural integrity" ?

I think our 20 secondaries could be divided this way:
-As many meals as we can make: (5 or 6, depending on if the secondary requests process before or after food consumption)
-5 reserve fuel
-4 missiles
-1 nuke
-5 units of whatever helps our structural integrity

btw I like that format for a ship status. I was hoping to get a "dashboard" of sorts, to know what variables were important and what weren't... otherwise, I'm liable to go insane trying to nitpick details. :/

The replicators can be focused on repairs of up to 20 points of structural damage or (2000 in raw materials) The ship can essentially replicate its damaged parts as a primary slot request. You can replicate fuel and reserve fuel. You can also focus the replicators on making currency. You could use your primary to generate 2000 more credits.

We already have a nuke, not sure if we can store another.

On the topic of credits, how many do we have?

Arthur Reed: According to our Chase account we have
24,300 credits. However based on what I am hearing, the repairs for our ship will be almost 8000 credits alone before even factoring in refueling. I think if we can catch this Russian douchebag we might be able to hand him over for a reward. He does appear to have a warrant out on:

NGC 4349 NO 127 b

its... North Koreans

Arthur Reed: In other words, lets not get carried away at Europa with buying up too many fancy oil paintings. I do really want a hot tub however for my new luxury suite.

If we hire Arthur now, and manage to catch/apprehend the guy, then we have to fly him to the place to collect the bounty. How much is this russian worth?

As long as we're not stuck with him as a specialist for the rest of the game, I'm find hiring Arthur to help us catch the Russian. Seems like he's being a bit more reasonable about his demands at the moment. ##vote to hire arthur

ALSO:

we should then find a way to get more credits from the replicators. These repairs will be expensive, and we'll need more than simply weapons and food to keep alive. Money can be used for supplies, bribes, etc.

Where are we on finding a pathway?

I beleive they were 1 vote away from approving a Reclaimer path.

Jamiet and I have proposed Reclaimers.
