Update We're in space somewhere between Haldus and Becrux. This two day trip gives enough time for your weapons officer to (mostly) recover. After a stint in the medbay Chubbs and his dippy bird are ready to return to his console, even if the near-death experience has scarred him badly. We used 60 energy for the jump and 10 energy to put Chubbs back on his feet. The corruption and greed of the crew has already gotten out of hand and we decide to make an example. You hatch a clever scam with Bugglesworth, your trusty valet, and he scampers off to discredit Ghengis Rex and ruin the legitimacy of his title. I roll 1D6 and get a 1 - Ghengis loses his bridge crew position but Bugglesworth can't get away in time and loses more than his tail. Their graves need no flowers: the tapes have recorded their names.   Died 2047.259 of a broken heart Died 247.259 eaten in the line of dutyPlenty more where they came from - four more skinks at least. Here's the adventure sheet - we're missing two crew. The good news is we pass the crapulence test with flying colours (crapulence is now below our captain's leadership so it's an auto-pass).  Before we arrive in Becrux we have another loose end to tie up: comedyblissoption posted:Summon Ironjaw. I Greyhound posted:Also, Page 132, please. Tell Ironjaw to get his rear end up here.  Two decisions needed here : first, what do we do with this Ironjaw situation? second, who do you want for crew? I can pick randomly as the rules state but if you have any preferences let me know. We need a new engineer, a new valet, and (probably very shortly) a new shields/security officer.

There's something fishy going on down there, and we're just the Caiman to by gosh get to the bottom of this! If Ironjaw is the victim of a skink conspiracy, would we be able to trust the reports of our valet? I propose we go down in person. Worst case scenario we get a death scene and those are half the fun of playing.

Who's the Caiman that's an obvious riff on Sean Connery? He'd make a good engineer and we'd get to read all his dialogue in Sean Connery's voice.

If I recall correctly, Valets all have pretty high expertise by Croc standards but make up for it by having abysmal fighting stats and at least one crew position they absolutely, positively cannot perform correctly, right?

Spot on. The last guy was particularly bad at navigation (if he had tried it he would have splattered himself and damaged the ship). All the others have at least one job they can't do.

I say we recruit Bob for engineer. Yes yes, I know what you're all thinking, he doesn't have at least five names, but on the upside, he has low crapulence, which might be something we need right about now.

The story so far is that we're a bunch of useless space crocodiles in a ship that's too good for us. We're running from some aliens that blew up our homeworld. So far while running away we've tried to scam a civilisation by pretending to be its gods, got nuclear missiles fired at us, beamed down to the surface, sort of won a fight and swiped an espresso machine and some slaves, then blew up the planet before buggering off into jump space. I don't think that misses too much out.

Reiterating my vote for Donald Plover as Valet, IIRC he can prevent some disease effects that might come up soon but he's also twice as likely as other Valets to be eaten every roll Mostly I just like him because he's a little bird that rides around in our mouth

Two randoms, two Benedicts and one Bob for Engineer. I'll wait for the tie to be broken on this important issue. Donald Plover deserves a shot at Valet having missed out last time round. Re: the shields officer - go in yourself or get SuGaBA to check are the suggestions I've seen and they're tied. Any other suggestions or anyone want to back either of these courses of action? I'm scanning in a bunch of Becrux stuff now. If we don't get killed there at least once I'll be surprised.

Let's be really careful here. It night be the ship AI slowly replacing idiot crew members to make the ship more efficient. We don't want to have a machine uprising. (We'd lose)

concoct conspiracy with crew and computer to mislead Ironjaw into thinking we are outside a marvelous pleasure planet full of mountains of gold, live chickens, hot springs, and horny big-titted gators and we need one more crew for the away team. Then beam him away into hard-light hyperspace so he may suffer for a subjective aeon for insubordination and (no doubt) plotting a mutiny against our munificence.

I'm pretty sure this dude just wants to be left alone with his crocodile anime dolls or whatever. Ruin his fun, bust in. If this is the start of SuGaBA's insurrection then we're already boned. You think Baron Drinky-Bird is gonna help when the AI is going haywire?

The fact that Ironjaw apologised seems to point pretty strongly to him being a collective of skinks or some other lesser species. (Though if he's just a crocodile version of a space weeaboo that'd be pretty funny) The only way to find out is to barge in and die as gruesomely as possible!

Benedict for crew member have sugarbear scan ironjaw's room. I bet he doesn't even have royal blood or any titles and is therefore not inbred and has big terrifying jaws and is a svelte murder machine

Equip the prosthetic jaw in case of trouble and barge in. Have the computer unlock the door on captains authority.

Plover for valet, and have SuGaBa scan Ironjaw's room, but do it discreetly so the rest of the crew can't see the results. Equip our jaw prosthetic just to be on the safe side.

But ironjaw's room is so far away from our throne room. Better send the slaves in and have SuGaBa open the way.

I've already scanned in the other page, you monsters! If it's any consolation, SuGaBA would just tell you there's nothing to worry about and you'd learn nothing about the guy. At least this way we get to confront "Ironjaw".
