"It looks dead, I think the safest thing would be to throw it overboard." Samuel says.


Remember to note it is made out of expensive materials.

[vinnmun]

Once the firefight against a crab was done, Hellion trots over to the limp crab. "I say we let our orkish buddy become surgeon for a moment because that shell is worth a prety penny, cap'n." Hellion grins and looks at each one for their opinion.

[crisses]

Minnow eyes the critter dubiously, "And all due respect, cap'n, it might attract predators and scavenger beasts that think it's yummy...We might not want to rush into throwing bits of it overboard if it will be a shark magnet."

[Xzylvador]

"Shell was very strong to take so many bullets. Maybe we find out what it is... or use it as armor for drones.", was Wagners reaction after he regained himself from almost having his head clipped off.
"But we best continue searching ship first. Maybe other dangers, maybe things need fixing quickly. If crab break engine, we need weapons back quickly too, otherwise we, how you say it... sitting goose?"
Wagner ordered Katya to circle through the air and check for other vehicles nearby and sent his microcrawler below deck to check for threats and take imagery of hard to reach places so he could later check them for threats. Himself, he tried to find a way to connect with the ships systems, his doberman on guard next to him.

[vinnmun]

Hellion looks over to his robed elf that materializes by the group and is no longer ghostly as it responds to his look, "Yes?" in elven Gaelic again.

"Guide, guard this ship on the and warn me of any intruders or anything that is malicious towards us is coming our way." he orders the spirit in elven gaelic.

Guidance Spirits roll for being summoned (6d6.hits(5)=4) 4 against my 5 from earlier...so 1 service which is spent guarding us until dusk.

He turns his attention to Wagner, "Well the watcher didin't find anything other than that crab.....but I wouldn't put it pass it if the watcher over looked something."

[The Big Peat]

"My take on it is that anything that weird, that none of us has heard of before, is probably worth money to the right university," Crow shrugs as he slings the rifle securely on his back and rises from his position. "And they'll pay more for it intact too. Well. Intact-ish. Your call captain."

His bit said, Crow moves off to inspect the two guns, very aware that while they'd solved the mystery of the crab, it didn't necessarily solve the mystery of the bullet marks. It didn't mean there mightn't be something else waiting to swoop. If they were, he wanted everything in shipshape order to give the bastards the fright of their lives.

[Xzylvador]

"Yes, I understand watcher spirits are fast and useful, but not always smart. Differences between machine or machinegun, engine or drone not always big enough for it to know.", Wagner said in defense to his caution.

[crisses]

Minnow climbs up on something and scans the horizons and skies, slips on her goggles and checks everything out again.

Perception - hawkeye, coprocessor, no goggles. (12d6.hits(5)=7)

The goggles have lowlight/themo/vis enhance 3.  I don't know whether hawkeye stacks with vision enhancement...

When she's done, she reports anything worth noting.

Might be able to tell if the helm has been busted up, Minnow thinks.  If any gauges are completely broken, and we need parts for the engine, may as well get other necessary parts at the same time...

Predator still in hand, she goes over to the helm, if it's accessible on the deck of the ship.  First she looks in through the helm's windows before trying to enter.  If clear, once inside, she checks for any small stowaways in the hidy-holes.  Then she'll dust off the gauges and such to check whether there's anything busted up.  She'll catalogue parts needed in her commlink.

Minnow has pilot skill 3 (6 pool), hardware 3 (7 pool). She'd know a lot more about what's in that room than I would   If the door to the helm is locked, she has some skillz for that too.

[SeriousOne338]

" If the rest of you want to take a poke at it later, we can but right now lock it in a closet and set a drone to watch while we get some work done. Minnow you and Wagner get your swim gear on and start work on that hull breach. Hellion start sweeping the lower decks and take stock of gear, weapons, cargo, all that junk. Crow get working on the main gun see if you can't power it up and get is rotating. Squid get into the engine room and get us some power. If you need me I'll be on the bridge working on the helm." After the group breaks up and starts working on the ship, you hear and feel the Osprey touchdown on the landing pad, there is a moment when the ship lists but nothing more. From the deck clanking sounds come as drones offload cargo, this goes on for twenty minutes before the osprey take off and heads back toward Hawaii for the second load of cargo. This process repeats two more times with the additional crew members coming one the second load. The day ends with most of the ship swept clear of trash and signs of battle the rift in the hull almost sealed and two small drone boats floating in the waves around the ship.  For the next week you work on the boat getting it back into ship-shape sealing all the hull breaches, there are two more found after the main gash is sealed. The crew eventually gets the main gun to work but it only works on manual the electronics on it are blown out and will take a ship yard to repair.


OK anyone want to do something else?

You find on the ship,
Armory:
5x Armored Vests
2x Diving equipment (tanks, masks, fins)
20x Frag Grenades
20x Thermite Grenades
5000x Assault Rifle rounds
100x clips (or so)
10x M24a3 Carbine
2000x Light Pistol rounds
10x Colt America L36
1000x LMG rounds
15x Hi-Explosive Light Naval Gun rounds

Firearm Shop (located in the armory)
Mechanic Workshop (engineering)
Medical Shop

[crisses]

Between trips to repair the hull, Minnow also checks out the Medical shop, logs the needed supplies, and makes a wish-list of any not-necessary-but-nice that's not included.  She also tries to figure out what types of trouble the former crew may have had from what's depleted from stock.

First thing she'll check is whether there's an inventory list posted on a wall or in the medical shop, and compare supplies against it.  Doesn't seem like the type of thing one would abandon ship with.  Otherwise, she'll wing-it.  If there's any autodoc / medkits, she'll check with them for a list as well.

If there isn't any on-board, she'll add an underwater/sealed &/or pressure-proof medkit to the list.

Simple fail:  Medicine: former crew's medical difficulties per depleted supplies. (8d6.hits(5)=0)

When she has spare time she'll make sure that everything's in working order, autoclaved, dusted, disinfected, etc. in the shop.


Unable to find any pattern to the usage of medical supplies, Minnow simply forwards her supply list to the Capt'n and continues on with routine duties.

[vinnmun]

Hellion roams around the ship with a holopad in hand writing down an inventory list of items that are still usable in every shop. He has a seperate column for stuff that is missing that should be there. He'll do some minor clean up inbetween but not much.

Perception - Visual (12d6.hits(5)=1) 1 Hit....doh!

He gets up to the helm and hands his list over to the Captain. "Did a sweep of things that we have available, those that are damaged and functioning and those that are missing that we'd need to replace at some point." He nods and leaves for the deck when he's dismissed. Nighttime comes and his guide leaves. He goes to summon another guide to stay watch.

Force 5 Guidance spirit w/ Enhanced Senses against Spirit's force. (10d6.hits(5)=3, 5d6.hits(5)=2) 1 Service

Resisting Drain of 2 (12d6.hits(5)=3) Resisted drain


He closes his eyes and a similar guidance spirit materlizes, "Guide, keep vigil and warn me of any intruders or danger coming to this ship." The spirit nods and goes about walking around the deck.

Hellion goes back down and does some more cleanup in the workshops, maybe find any missing items.

[Crash_00]

With his orders, Squid heads to the engine room. Searching through the tools, he goes into action mode, flipping on his wired reflexes he begins zooming around the room trying to get the engine running and tighten things up. Once he's gotten power restored, he drags his chest down and starts to set up his hammock in the engine room.


Spending a point of edge on the mechanical roll.
Nautical Mechanic+Edge =16d6.hitsopen(5,6)= 9 hits

[Xzylvador]

Wagner would like to check/fix the ships communication/radar/sonar, see about the system's protection and check to see if there's rigger modifications to the ship and the minigun. If any of the others need help with anything technical, he'll help too.

[SeriousOne338]

@crisses: Minnow spends the week working in the water during the day and cleaning up the infirmary. The list of Items she makes to round out what they'll need seems only to be bandages, bandages and more bandages. The medical supplies seems to be in good order, but minnow misses the Painkillers that seem to be missing.

@vinnmun: Hellion spends his time working on cleaning up the ship all the time his spirit keeps watch for intruders.  His list is pretty basic mostly some missing gear or a burned out comlink here and there.

@Crash_00: Squid's work goes quickly he gets the engines running in one day, but keeps only one active to charge the batteries because  the fuel level is low. Having finished work in the engine room squid finds himself in the water sealing the hull breach.  That work is grueling and time consuming, spending three days in wet gear and is scuba gear you're happy when the hull is finally sealed up. The end of your fourth day you fall asleep to the hum of automated bilge pumps draining the sea water.

@Xzylvador: Wagner works hard on the communication/radar/sonar, its a hit and miss repair the wires are burned out. Running wire throughout the ship takes time.  After a week the sonar is operational though a bit glitchy, radar is more reliable due to being farther from the water. Communications are limited, instead you take an older model comlink and patch it into the radio antenna slaving it as a communication module.

By the end of the week the Freedom has been repainted and renamed: The Coral Pride it takes another two days to limp into a Pacific Atoll, a newer version of the high sea's gas station, it's an old oil rig on anchored in deep water. When your ship approaches, there are three other vessel in dock one "Private Security ship" AKA pirate, and two merchantmen. "We'll be docked for one day to get fuel and some final repairs, enjoy some time on the Atoll if you want"

Hellion when morning comes summons a force 6 Guidance spirit.

Summoning force 6 Guidance spirit with enhanced senses and engulf from dawn to dusk. Rolled 5 dice for services resisting drain (10d6.hits(5)=4, 5d6.hits(5)=2, 12d6.hits(5)=4) 2 drain from services, resisted all

forgot a die for the spirit. one more for the spirit. (1d6.hits(5)=0)

Hellion gives the spirit the same instructions as before and for the rest of the day sits topside, taking his the sea air and meditating. He'd been cleaning all week and needed a break. If Anyone was going to the Atoll, he would tag along though.
