Would a holo-projector help us here? Mutumbo has one in his backpack. That way, Mlinzi doesn't have to handle any devices but can still see what the drone shows.

[JackVII]

This has more to do with her simsense vertigo rather than her gremlins issue. She's just chock-full of NQs.

Not sure if a holoprojector would count, I know AR, VR, and any other form of simsense does.

With that said, Alzmer might know what it is. Granted, he seems like a rocks guy, but maybe he had a botany class at University.

My number one purchase when we get paid for this run is a 5 nuyen piece of electronic paper.

[Reminder]

You've been keeping him out of the loop, so you have no way of knowing if he knows

Whether or not it matters enough for you to ask him is up to you.

[Reminder]

It's not AR.

If you want to, you can, but if its packed up in your sack (which presumably is in the back of ultra's truck) it will take 5 mins to pull out and project, and daylight is burning.

[JackVII]

I say we just roll with it. As far as we know (even though we don't recognize it) it might be provisions.

Also, counting on Mlinzi to come up with anything useful based on a Logic check is probably setting yourself up for failure.

Now that's the spirit!

[JackVII]

Next move, fellas?

We've done recon and see that there are people here. I would imagine that our trip into the mine would likely be contested. Now, according to the non-conversation we had with Alzmer, we need samples from (A or B) and C. Meaning if we wanted to just bypass this mine and try the next one we could. The only bonus that we know of is the time bonus, we have no guarantee that hitting all four mines would earn us extra pay.

I'm down for whatever...

Hmm... what's the range on a drone? Are we near enough to Mine A that we could send the drone over there to check it out?

[Reminder]

It can get there in about 6 minutes (It would be 5:46 now). The noise is going to jump to five at that range.

[Csjarrat]

that's do-able. by the time i retrieve it, land it, pack it up, drive nearer the next mine and get it re-launched it'll take more than 6 minutes.
I can offset some of the noise with my deck software and jack so it shouldnt sting too badly. it does have a low light mode as well if it gets dark out there.

[JackVII]

Just to cut down on back-and-forth postings, does someone have an external device that provides AR that Alzmer can use? I don't think he's ever been physically described as having an imaging device. I think he had headware when I assensed him, so he may have a DNI. Just figured we could cut to the chase if someone has glasses or goggles he could borrow.

[Csjarrat]

forgot i had a trid projector, have edited post to activate it now. everyone can see it

[JackVII]

Mutumbo has a trid projector too, but Reminder ruled that it would take 5 minutes to pull it out of the back of your truck.

[Reminder]

Alzmer doesn't know what it is either.

[JackVII]

I would just say run the drone over to the other mine and see what's there.

[JackVII]

...and yes, Mlinzi is statistically unlucky. she requires an average of 3.9 dice to get one success.
