In the interest of discussion, here was the plan for the break, so far.

Month 1: Start basic target practice for all security/maintenance personnel. Establish a monthly competition with some sort of prize to encourage people to give a damn. We can bill it as a team building activity. Place order for chain mail/ start paperwork for chain mail. Argue that the cost is justified by the lack of people dying and their families suing for wrongful death. Also, get a damn doctor here. The mainland is not always an option, and we can't afford either guests or staff dying because the chopper was stopped.

Month 2: Use results from month 1 to ID exceptional marksmen. Work on getting them fast tracked to the field. Start doing simulated field ops with existing personnel/potential new recruits. Plan for contingencies and establish chains of command if people injured/incapacitated. Continue bitching about chain mail, because lord know they probably are still sitting on the paper work. Continue bitching about lack of doctor.

Month 3: Take best of the best from previous two months and offer them a spot on our team. Ideally we get people with specializations variety given the larger starting pool. Pray the supply chain gods have smiled upon us and brought us half of the chain mail we ordered. Also, continue bitching about getting a doctor.

>>16376615
Month 1: Okay, I agree with stuff for the most part, but I have some changes.
The chainmail, argue that training new personnel is more expensive than the investment in chainmail. Argue also that even if a worker dies, their chainmail can still be salvaged and repaired; it's a one-time investment.
We should just suggest to the other Department Heads and the Board for getting a doctor and medical facilities on-site. Cite the dangers of guests needing medical attention, especially given the difficulties of evacing them to a hospital on the mainland. That way, it won't come out of our budget, but the Park's budget.

Month 2: Okay. Also, hit up the Internet, order a bulk amount of surplus US Army tactical goggles. Pay out of pocket to get around the whole budget issue. Issue to all Maintenance personnel.

Month 3: Should be fine.

Also, during this time, work with Juan and Emanual to get the new workers into teams of 4. No less than 2 people on a given assignment when in the Park.

Also, put together flamethrowers. Just jury-rigged ones with flammable aerosol cans and lighters. Enough to scare away compys. Each team gets one.

Finally, recommend people go for tacticool stuff. Tac-vests, flashlight attachments for dart-guns, headlamps.

rolled 89 = 89

Maybe on of those emergency beepers for crews.

It's a box that you pull the pin on and it sirens like bloody murder.

At best it scares dinos away, at worst it just let's other teams know another is in danger.

>>16376884
Not a good idea.
It's been shown that raptors are attracted to that sort of thing.

Better would be a wireless one that sends out an alert via radio. Either direct to Dispatch, or on a special Maintenance Emergency channel.

>>16376831

So will this be the thing we're going to do?

>>16377138
Are you back, or just popping in?

As it is, I think so.

>>16377167

Got a little time before dinner.

>>16376831
>>Month 2: Okay. Also, hit up the Internet, order a bulk amount of surplus US Army tactical goggles. Pay out of pocket to get around the whole budget issue. Issue to all Maintenance personnel.
It's 1994, that stuff's not likely to be found on the internet, even if we have access.

As for Aidan's raptor... didn't he have the idea of trying to convince management to let him raise it separately but still under auspices of the park? I think that is potentially an interesting idea... and depending on his success could prove a potential attraction.

As for the receptionist, I'm thinking Porter might as well take her out, see what happens. Just 'cause Porter's blue collar doesn't mean he can't be a gentleman of his word.

>>16377307
Nah, Aidan wanted to HIDE his raptor from Management. He thinks he can hide it, and train it, and feed it, without someone finding out, or getting hurt.

I agree with taking that receptionist out for dinner though. And with our promotion, we've got the money to take her someplace nice.

>>16377587
Hm. Well What about that idea, then? See if we can arrange a compromise.

>>16377645
No. I am unwilling to compromise with Aidan.
Just because a raptor is as smart as a dog does not make it fit to be tamed. I am adamant in my belief that his ill-considered plan is going to result in the serious maiming or death of another worker.
We should have told him that we will shoot him ourselves when the time comes.

>>16377587

Yeah, this is what Aidan was wanting to do.

Also, I'm back from dinner.

>>16377973
Welcome back ECW.

How about we broach the idea of trainable dinos to Dispatch, and see how they react to the idea. If they seem willing to try it, then Aidan looks good for having a 'prototype' all ready. If they are adamantly against it, we put our foot down on it.

>>16378148
I like this idea. Even if I don't approve of what Aidan did it seems heartless to not at least try to deal with this situation diplomatically.

Seems there's conflict over Aidan's raptor.

>>16378282
Indeed. Who's for high roll decides?

rolled 52 = 52

>>16378667
In anticipation of such, rolling to attempt a compromise.

rolled 47 = 47

Rolling for letting Aidan do what he wants, executing the raptor when it inevitably kills a fellow worker, and either executing/firing Aidan, depending on his work record up to that point.

Alright, compromise wins.

>>16378902
Wooo.

>>16378902
Dammit.

Anyway, if Jacob stays on the job, maybe we can go through any contacts he has in the US Army for surplus equipment.

>>16378945
It's possible. What say you, ECW?

Ah, almost forgot!

Watching the raptors at meal time is mandatory for all new Maintenance workers! They need to understand that they are working in a zoo, and some of the animals are very dangerous.

>>16378959
Seconded hard!

Okay, I want...5 rolls.

Rolling to:
-Advocate for chainmail
-Advocate for doctor
-Results of date
-Convince people trained dinosaurs are a good idea.
- Getting army surplus gear.

I think that's everything. Am I missing anything?

rolled 94, 63, 32, 51, 37 = 277

Sounds good.
Let's go statistical improbability...

>>16378991
>Convince people trained dinosaurs are a good idea.
>Train circus act
>Open dinosaur circus

rolled 9, 56, 52, 36, 37 = 190

>>16378991
Alright, here we go.

rolled 97, 87, 23, 41, 27 = 275

>>16378991
Sure thing boss!

rolled 91, 69, 59, 10, 88 = 317

Eesh, this date may not go so great.

rolled 92, 29, 73, 24, 66 = 284

>>16378991

>>16379072
>>16379092
>>16379094
>>16379006
Advocate for chainmail keeps getting 90s.

rolled 65, 78, 15, 93, 53 = 304

>>16378991

At some point in these plans the phrase "Gnawed Ass" WILL come up.

Hopefully not on the date.

No more rolls, I will let you guys pick which set you want to use.

>>16379092
voting for this one...
Shame about Squeak, but at least we tried.

>>16379092
Voting for this.
Chainmail's our top priority.
Doctor, we might not get in this 3 month period, but at least Management's thinking about it.
The date was okay.
Fuck Squeak.
Military surplus for budget and survival!

>>16379092
It's the highest average roll... but damn, poor Aidan.
Abstaining until there's a clearer consensus.

Which I guess there is.
Sorry, buddy.

Looks like it'll be unanimous, then.

Alright, during your talks with Management, are you going to cite Aidan as an example of training the dinosaurs?

rolled 77 = 77

>>16379439
With a 10? Not sure if good idea.

The question is: would it lend credence to our argument? Opinions?

>>16379439
No.
We were going to try to talk them into letting us try, and then showcase Aidan as an attempt if they liked the idea.
If they don't like it, no need for them to know.

>>16379468
Seems reasonable, I support it.

>>16379468
This.

>>16379449
Though... that's a pretty awesome roll...

Waiting on this guy.

Alright, I believe that was everything we were wanting to cover. Did anyone have something else to cover?

I will be able to run the game tomorrow at 4 PM.

>>16379809
I think we're good. Let's archive this bad boy.

Done.
