In theory it could be possible to bring someone back from the absolute brink of death, so much so that it would appear to any reasonable -- even highly educated -- person that you've basically resurrected the dead. Assuming they died under the right conditions and their brain and maybe other parts were preserved well enough... Well, it's said there is factually -- or there are at least rumors of -- advanced medical technology existing. You know, secretive biofabrication facilities, mysterious research laboratories of dubious ethical rigor. That kind of crap. Sounds kind of fake, honestly, where would anything like that ever happen? You clamp the last body into cryo preservation like the door to a beer fridge. Hesaim has both fabricators and artifical gestatiors. Clone vats and stuff like that. Cybernetics. Not the best in the galaxy, or even the sector, but highly advanced research systems. Vic might have some kind of lead on this sort of thing if it's that fascinating to you. On La Psolea the engineering sounds stop and a different set of sounds begin.

Ronwayne posted:Welphere was my roll: What you're looking at is absolutely not a hose, this is a high pressure cryogenic gas line that's basically insulated with idk future asbestos and kevlar. Hyperweave. Think more along the concept of liquified natural gas or even the gas pipes in a house or apartment or something. If it was a flexible hose and was loose like that it'd slice you in half worse than Rishi. But this... is going to work if the gravity is shut off in time. -- as an aside the way i'm taking this fuel line trap situation is that to shoot somebody you have to roll an 8, right? so if the stream of fuel is blowing out of this thing at you, it has to get 8+ to "hit" in a kind of woo-y way. Or you need to get 8 for it to miss? Adding the effect from your chop, not even as a task chain, just adding the overflow, you're deadass tying this thing both times lol. Without a more better roll to kinda get over the hump of not getting a facefull of cryogenic compressed hydrogen that slams you into the ceiling, I gotta go back to the effect results: 0 posted:Marginal Success: The Traveller barely succeeds at the task and may have to accept a condition on their success. They fix the engine but it will overheat. They find a buyer for the goods but the buyer is an untrustworthy criminal. Notably better than the failure that caused the whole grinding across the docking bay fiasco, but not great. I rolled the damage die for not doing the "nitty gritty checking the whole effects results table" method -- yeah you... would be in mega deep poo poo. I mean i checked this and i was like "eh what's the chances it's that big a deal?" Cause rolling it without it being a draw came up 30. Aria'd be taking 15 damage, after what her suit tanks. That would instantly KO & basically cripple you for a while if there wasn't kickass medical aid right away. It came up kinda high for the number of dice but uh maybe I should be -- The line ruptures and begins ejecting fuel, but you're stuck. Fuckin stuck, saw wedged in good. The lights go out -- are out. Inside the suit HUD lights start flashing. Instinct takes over, you pull the trigger, and are spinning in the dark, blind, senseless. You can feel the cold and see your breath condense inside and can't read the hud and know it's not supposed to be like that. sebmojo posted:Rolf is in there, dragging her out: Luckily it doesn't matter, cause at the last second Rolf busts in and tackles Aria away from what was the brief but deadly gas stream. She seems... fine. Some frost on the outside, a little embrittlement, but there's no real chance of cracking or damage as long as she warms her suit back up slow. The suit monitors return to normal, except for the low temp warnings. These things aren't designed for direct contact with these sorts of conditions. You bonk harmlessly off some equipment and float back the other way. Microgravity, yeah, not these insane temperature swings. -- After poking around more, it seems to basically be it. There's for sure no more hidden traps or weird bullshit inside the wreck itself, or directly nearby. Skye is able to get the two ships docked together and you can freely transfer whatever you want. You are able to locate all the existing non-corrupt memory cores and everything and should be able to actually boot this thing without it flipping out and trying to escape because it thinks it's still in combat. You can refill you air cans on the Naugahyde or in La Psolea's airlock without any difficulty, and you're able to reactivate the reactor without it blowing up or irradiating anybody. The hydrogen leak is minor, not actively leaking more, and can't even explode because there's no oxygen.
- Comms + EDU or SOC - Computers + INT or EDU (repair and get the computer ready) - Sensors + INT or EDU (use La Psolea's more advanced sensors to scan for nearby objects) - M-drive + EDU - J-drive + EDU (same as above) - Life Support + EDU (fix &/or same) - Power + EDU (same as above) & OFC if you have something else or some other idea you wanna try to cram in here -- then do it. I'll crunch these and convert how good the rolls are into how much time it takes to get everything online and ready to do the actual missions these vargr want to hire you for. The main things you need to fix are going to be focusing on the bridge, computer, maybe life support and you know, landing gear and general structure -- if you intend to actually fly this thing anywhere. It'll never be truly safe or sane to land it directly on an earthlike planet though, so while it can be done, it will be a good idea to try and recover or buy a gig or something that can transport sophonts. You can use Sledj's ship shares to do this, ofc, but the more you can poach out of the ice out here the further those shares can be stretched, and if you ever end up needing a sickbay with an autodoc but don't have it you're gonna be pissed it's not there. Right now, according to Skye, the sensors still seem fine and nothing odd is going on. With the way things are set up (imagine a kicking rad map where the ships are floating in the ice and it looks incredible af, perfectly scaled, 5d rotational,  ), you can essentially do whatever you want and your only time limit is if anybody from the outside interrupts you.

If you decide to, you can eject these corrupt datawafers. It's a process to insert or remove them, but not a roll unless it's in combat or some consequence-sensitive situation. You may want to copy over all the libraries and other software from the Naugahyde at some point. Not a roll or anything you may want this very second but that translation stuff etc... there's no time penalty for this. The intellect is corrupted as well, but not as bad. Rerunning the diagnostics, it absolutely with certainty is accepting and executing commands, even if they're vocal or through a console, it's the results side that are somewhat garbled. This is fixable and actually something you can ignore for now, but not really good for long term. Technically you could overwrite La Psolea's intellect with the Naugahyde's or something, but probably you don't want to do this out here in the ice. It's not really reasonable to operate a ship without one. You can fix this by just overwriting it with any generic intellect or by upgrading it with a pseudo-personality -- either of those are easily available on Hesaim itself for pretty cheap. As it is, it's not a "turn your monitor off and back on" type fix, it's "punch it and see if it descrambles" sort of problem. All interactions with all subsystems are working correctly and there is no worry about it doing anything weird or odd on its own. -- The paperwork: this data from the computer is pretty useful and really, data archeology? Hey maybe somebody should ask Sledj if he got some spare wafers on it! You got this completely handled extremely well. Everything is totally perfect, all the Ls are crossed, all the Ts are dotted, this is flawless. If the cops show, you wave this thing and they back off, you need to land, and you can be sure the port authority tows out some scrub tier loser to make space. Skye agrees, looks amazing, 500% correct. There is for sure zero chance of this ever loving up in any way ever. You could fly this thing up a duke's rear end in a top hat without problems. Probably. Mykkel posted:Eris Jeffers  Cassini, actually. Visual shows nothing interesting, but... Sensors: Crushed it, with the all the previous sensor data from before it is as if the ~veil is lifted~ and all the complexity and difficulty of having to use only the Naugahyde's civvie sensors falls away.
If you decide to, you can investigate these objects or ignore them. They're not ice, but you can't tell exactly what they might be from here. Only real cost to investigating these diversions is burning time, and any potential hidden hazards you may uncover, or getting nothing. Upsides? "Maybe incredible loot!" Power: With judicious use of parts, you're able to get the second reactor online and running. Power systems are stable with minor fluctuations near 96%. Try not to get into a situation where you've got to overload anything. Particularly the M-drives, which draw hard and almost certainly will be a continuous load. Life support: Same thing. The construction robots clamber around the outside with parts and patch panels are able to assist you in repairing any hull breaches to basic safety standards, although the armor itself is not really great. The system clears out the extremely thin atmosphere of cold fuel gas and starts replacing it with normal, breathable air. You wouldn't describe it as smelling "good." Vaguely like old dusty tar and metal salts. Cloud Potato posted:
The M-drives look to be in great shape for their age and having had the ice blasted off of them, although they're not super incredibly great. It takes a substantial amount of replacement parts to ensure they're not going to go entirely to poo poo themselves on the way out, even though you checked this before and they were alright -- the power systems supplying them -- these M-drives are fat, and they're hogs for juice. Making them compete against themselves as a power dump to avoid jumping got them out of wack for a little while there and they needed more parts replaced just to be certain there are no balance problems stressing the hull and that you can't drift off course. Probably it would have worked well as a strategy to stop the jump if the computer hadn't been able to override. The J-drives also aren't that a big deal to fix up and ofc demand the most fuel out of anything -- Aria didn't exactly chainsaw the positron emission arrays or anything, just the one fuel line. These seem to be in good order and are not going to fail or explode, especially on the way back to any starport in-system. From this position it would be fairly dumb to actually jump, although looking at your fuel situation there's not really anything stopping you from doing so if you wanted to waste an entire week sitting in a wreck not eating. Getting from Hesaim to the ice belt took a little while, this thing is dramatically faster, even if you were to baby the thrusters. 80% power is still twice the thrust of Naug's 100%. sebmojo posted:Rolf is gonna review comm logs leading up to the disabling of the ship, and also see if there's any hints about the emergency jump. Did the computer try and contact anyone? Checking it out, it's simple. It tried to connect to the gig, failed, and dropped establishing a connection from the list of things to do. Very tight timetable, after all. sebmojo posted:Ctrl shift t brings back a closed tab i think Yeah, brings back a nice empty text field lol. -- Alright. La Psolea is as fixed as you can fix her yourselves. According to my advanced calculations, this took merely  An even two tons of spare parts. You've got 8 left iirc, and can use them to keep repairing the hull or just keep them for later and use Sledj's ship shares for the last repairs. Polish the armor back in drydock. And 36 hours to do all this. The wreck... was a wreck. However! It's now flyable and in basic spaceworthy condition. Taking less time would have been significantly faster, and but would have surely meant taking up way more parts, possibly most of what you brought. That or more risky. You can safely dock with any orbital facility, and can land on any planet with a very thin atmosphere like Hesaim. You can absolutely try to land directly on planets with thicker atmospheres, but it will be harder than normal (-2). Fuel scooping from ice fields or gas giants is normal. Probably you're going to want to get this thing checked out at a real starport before doing anything crazy. -- At Skye's insistence, currently 3/4 of the construction bots and their associated components remain deployed and clamped down on the outside of La Psolea in case anything goes amiss with the hull. There's nothing incredible they can do to automatically repair anything, but they can at least try to prevent sohponts from getting sucked into the void. They stay away from the M-drives so as to not get blasted to bits the second anyone powers the thrusters above 0%. You've got 4 tons of repair parts in the wreck, 4 still in the Naugahyde along with the fourth construction kit, but there will be zero issue switching these between either ship however you please until you're underway. All the bodies recovered from the wreck are frozen in Naug's cryoberths. La Psolea is ready to head for your destination. Hesaim is recommended and has the most serious starport in the system, but you can go elsewhere if you want to super bad. If you want to go somewhere else i got the list i can pull up. Skye is not going to be super pleased if you make her fly the entire Naugahyde back entirely alone. Likewise Helen will probably be pissed off if you do this, because pirates or something could come out of nowhere and try to extort her or some bullshit. At the same time having anyone trying to pilot La Psolea solo might end up being a recipe for disaster. How you manage this is up to you, but trying to keep the two ships together is going to mean keeping to the thrust level of the slowest ship unless you want to get creative. When you're ready to leave the ice whoever wants to, roll pilot spacecraft + DEX to actually leave. This is to make sure you didn't gently caress up and aren't going to detonate anything. You can task chain if you wanna roll shifts or whatever, maybe make this go as smooth as possible. Then do the same thing to actually land. You don't have to bother doing these rolls for the Naugahyde btw. Alternately, if you can come up with some other better plan to get outta here, post it.

Let's investigate those blips, the bigger one is maybe the gig and slotting that would be a nice bonus if it's vaguely spaceworthy.

Yeah we should check that one out now, but leave the rest for later. The sooner we get the Psolea back to Hesaim, the quicker repairs will be done. But I'm guessing the gig will need repairs as well, so might as well get it now.

Trew Pisco "Sounds like we're all in agrement. Check out the big blip. I assume Wilson's staying on the Naug, so who's the best pilot here?" Trew looks around at all the expectant faces. "Oh, you gotta be-" ~Gilligan cut!~ Flying La Psolea towards the big blip (Pilot 0, DEX -2, taking my time +2): 2d6-2+2 9

searching for gifs is worse than trying to generate ai images these days everything is crap lol. how do i clear my metacache or w/e https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0uQucBg5M0 "Mm, alright, stay safe. Let me know if there's any issues... otherwise I guess it's time to get going? Do you have enough food?" Yes. "Fuel?" Also yes. Skye seems incredulous but unless there are objections she & Wilson will take the Naugahyde back now, it's at least a little bit of a head start. you throttle up gently and everything seems to hold together. Particles from the ice field spatter and fragment against the hull and armor, much like hail, if it were cold enough to start freezing some parts of the atmosphere. The computer occasionally half-cheerfully half-grumbles status reports as you approach SIG⩤ATURE D. Hull integrity is fine. Systems are operating normally. The construction bots are not getting pulverized. You reach easy visual range, pull some data:  This, except it's absolutely shot to poo poo. So it was the gig. Or somebody's gig. Would be extremely nice to have, easily get to planetary surfaces, carry some people and cargo. That's what, 4 people and a few tons? Maybe swap out the tons of cargo for some more seating or something, if you had to? Much more robust than an air/raft, even an enclosed one. It can dock with other things, zip around, has serious life support, and can scoop its own fuel if you ever had to. A real gun turret even! It's also visibly ripped open, but not completely apart into shreds. It's an open question if this is worth anything more than scrap metal. It very well could be worth trading skills, parts, and time. Or it could be an insane sinkhole. You can't easily just scoop this entire thing into the ship and keep flying, either. It is much smaller and should be easier to deal with than La Psolea tho. Real belter stuff to go out and grab this thing, half like mining asteroids by hand. Without getting your hands on it and looking up close, it's going to be borderline impossible to know if it's ever going to be spaceworthy again. You're going to have to go out and wrangle it into the docking bay, or do a mini salvage job, or just leave without looking into anymore than this. Roll something like Vacc Suit + DEX if you plan on taking or investigating it or just roll the pilot + dex to leave & land @ Hesaim obviously you can stack task chains and whatever skills you can think would contribute to anything. It isn't weirdly rotating or orbiting anything, it's just pretty well punctured.

Rolf will suit up and head over with a construction bot and a cable then we can winch it very carefully into the hold. No time pressure so taking it real slow. Vacc suit, taking time: 2d6+3 9 Same deal with investigating the wreck, at least for the basics: recon, Investigating the wreck: 2d6+3 11
