The consensus always felt good and it still does.
Active scanning suggests that your planetoid is inside an asteroid belt.
Aside of it, there are 2 planets in the system, both gas giants.
You notice there is an artificial construction near one of them, which also emits some radio and heat signatures.

It takes you approximately two days to decipher the radio transmissions and crack the language being used.
Normally it would take mere hours, but the radio contacts are rare.
Then you learn that the installation below is known as "station 181238" and "this rotting hole in the middle of the nowhere" and that its builders refer to the planet they are orbiting as "there".
You also detect a transmittion mentioning "strange signatures in the asteroid bell" and the "need to investigate it when the next shipment arrives".

Breaking free would draw too much attention, as they're already suspicious of our position in the asteroid belt. It's hard to explain planetoids shattering and if they can follow the trail of any of our engines they'll be hot on our trail.

Regardless, if we stay any long enough for them to examine our shelter closely, the organics WILL detect our AI heuristics and either attempt to destroy us or capture us.
Neither is acceptable.

Your mind being in turmoil, still manages to reach consensus, as it always does and ever will.
Using the very small amount of materials stored in your form, you produce few probes that eat away the iron planetoid.
The mass taken then is processed into the new probes, so that your excavation becomes exponential.

The digging is nearly finished when you detect something very strange happening.

One moment you passively scan through an empty space and at another there is a brilliant flash of light and other forms of radiation.

What is worse, however, that a ship suddenly appears out of nowhere in exactly same spot.

Were you outside of the asteroid, you could analyse such phenomenon better, but current observation provides no explanation whatsoever.

Immediately, there is a radio contact between the ship and the station.

They exchange confirmation codes. It appears that this ship have brought additional materials to the station. Among the chatter you distinguish the request of "talking in private", sent from a station to the ship.

Do you:

A. Continue digging (will take 3 hours).
B. Break out of the asteroid. (DC: medium)
C. Attempt contact.

Explanation: "DC: medium" indicates that for breaking out undamaged, you would have to roll above 10.

>>31349808
Continue the digging.

>>31349808

This will let us observe the organics more.

>>31349761
That's a little high-profile. We're not even in our own galaxy for all we know; these organics may be able to destroy us if they arrive in force.
We cannot presume that we are stronger in terms of brute force until we get a chance to gauge our opponent's strength.
We do not know where their comparative level of technology, how common these kinds of installations are or how swift or even how strong the response would be if it dropped out of contact. It would be better to see if we cannot covertly indoctrinate the station instead.

Your mind being in disagreement, still it does make a decision.

You start moving yourself and an asteroid towards the station at the maximum acceleration possible, which is slow, while also waiting for the ship to leave.

However, after 6 hours of acceleration, the ship started moving in your direction, all small craft returning to the ship.

By that moment, the asteroid is moving at the same speed as the ship does at the moment.

Do you:

A. Take a main cannon shot throw the asteroid at the ship moving directly at you. (DC: Medium)

B. Create a hole with your lazers to fire a shot wit main cannon (DC: Easy)

Allright, to the list of your capabilities.

Aside from military power of your form and indoctrination signal (which is currently limited to hundreds of kilometers) you've got some manufacturing power.

It's speed is limited by the size of the manufacturing unit and cargo space. Amount you can move with yourself is limited by your cargo space, which is not huge at all.

You have all the core technological knowledge of Reapers, including technology of mass relays and the construction of new reaper.

You've got genetic codes of your species, which you could bring back into the galaxy, given some advanced organics' facilities. Most units of your vast consciousness are in confusion about current situation and such event would not be opposed.

Compassion.

Embracing the goals of Intelligence, many units still resent its methods. They've got an empathy for others beings, which means they act negative towards the suffering of others and positive towards the end of such sufferings.

But that's not all. They believe organics can have their own meaning in their existence and consider the fulfillment of such meaning as positive.

As it happens, those units are also good at indoctrination, as long as it is not directly harmful for it's victims.

Gathering knowledge and resources seems to be the best way of action.

Your hacking and indoctrination abilities are again at their height.

>>31352352
>You've got to choose your ideology for now. It may or may not affect everything.

I do not believe that any of these idealogies are mutually exlusive.

Military is a tool to get what we want, force others from crushing us(in this unknown galaxy, we must account for the possibility that we are not the dominant force), and even ties to Control and Compassion.
For if we are to achieve control, or even survival, we will need to fight and persuade, even engage in diplomacy and manipulation with other species that we cannot corrupt directly.
Compassion. Previously though as irrelevant - why would we need it, when we control the cycle, the mass effect technology, and fleets of warships? Bereft of all the the advantages that make us Reapers, older ways of thinking start to look more..... attractive.

I am our Command Unit. And I believe our idealogy is flexible, and suits the moment.
For now, we survive and build.

What would happen if we made a Reaper out of Orks?

>>31352539
I don't think we have seen enough of the galaxy yet to propose such a thing. We should focus on gathering resources and than using those resources to learn more about this galaxy and the organics that inhabit it. After we learn more we can make an informed decision.

>>31352583

I wouldn't say we need legitimate compassion, just the ability to tell when faking it would be genuinely useful.

I love how my options have got you thinking

Being totally free and at your full power, you can decide to do anything specific.

As a reminder, your current manufacturing capabilities are very limited by the size of the manufacturer chamber. You can create objects up to 3 meters in diameter, which include quantum communication unit, processing probes and whatever tech you can imagine (except self-replicating one).

Together with your advanced yet limited bio-constructor you can create seeker swarms and even mighty battle units oculi. However, you would need organic matter for an effective construction.

>>31352699
>You find yourself in the space surrounding the star system.
We're not in the asteroid belt anymore, and we're still in the same system, just at the outer reaches of its Oort Cloud.

>>31352760
Construct one Quantum Communication Unit and 3 mining drones for each asteroid we detect here.
We should get what minerals we can before using FTL to get to another system with more mineral-rich asteroids.

do >>31352813 but also produce a few defense drones in case the locals come snooping.

>>31352840
This

>>31352813

Constructing a Quantum Communication Unit is monumental task but it is worth it.

After all, it is the only way for you to control whatever probes and units you leave here when you depart somewhere else.

Together with mining away required materials, the construction will likely take 2 months.

However, after that, you could create a station that will produce much simpler version of the probes you are using right now.

It would automatically create more and more of mining probes, that eventually will process the whole mass of oort cloud into the 0.023% probes and the rest into the easily picked units of basic elements.

Given that nothing interrupts the process, whole affair would take approximately 30 million years.

Creating builders that would make new probe-producing facilities would speed the process to just 20 thousands of years, but making them would take some years.

The reason behind simple processing of ores into neatly packed raw elements remains obscure.

>>31353004
Once we have set the probes up to continue refining the materials here jump back to near the station and resume gathering information as to what kind fo species theya re and what their governmental structure is.

>>31353087
no, we should make other probes for that. We don't want the organics learning about us, and should hide our true form for as long as possible.

2 months pass and nothing unexpected happens. QCU is ready and will work until the star is here, given that nothing destroys it.

Do you:
A. Create facility that produces mining drones
B. Create builders that will build such facilities
C. Specify usage of resources that will be mined & make another type of facilities/facilities' builders

>>31353087
No, we should find another star system, an uninhabited one where we can set up safely.

>>31353138
>A. Create facility that produces mining drones
We can do some scouting around the nearby star systems while some automated mining gets done.

>>31353143
>>31353122


So produce and send stealthy probes to the station to gather information while we jump to a different system and see what we can find?

>>31353187
Yes.
That way we can gather more information more efficiently.

>>31353138
B, but then build the scout drones. As small as we can build them to still have FTL and be as stealthy as possible.

All gathered resources will go to the mining station until it is finished, then we should dedicate ourselves to making a proper dockyard. Something that can build bigger things than we can.

>>31353138
I say we should instead find a nice uninhabited solar system and set it up in the asteroid belt there, because setting it up in an Oort cloud is not the best idea.

I realize that as a Reaper, we don't have to worry about dying of old age, but since we appear to be on our own we can't exactly afford to waste time.

The great part of your gestalt agrees to the caution.

You manufacture simple spying probes with system-only communication and non-FTL drive.

Thought they mask their transmissions as solar radiation, their signals still can detected.

Probes are equipped with self-destruction mechanism, which will work at the moment of any of probe's systems stop functioning or when it risks being captured.

>>31353280

Seconded. Concentrations of asteroids in the Oort cloud are a million times fewer than in the asteroid belt. It stands to reason that these mining processes would go about a million times faster if we had a larger abundance of resources available.

We need either a planet or an asteroid belt.

>>31353273

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to make a FTL drive at your manufacturing chamber.

It requires an amount of element zero, which we did not detect in this system.

Also, making even smallest mass drive would be dangerous as it slightly breaks the limits of our manufacturer chamber capacity. You could create builders that would make an adequate facility for constructing such things.

>>31353460
Given the proper amount of resources, would we be able to make our body bigger?

>>31353347
have a probe scout the station we were at before while we help the builders set up the mining station.

>>31353460
A couple questions: now that we have clear sight of the universe, can we tell where and when we are?

How long would it take us on average to scan for eezo in a new system?

How powerful are the military drones we can create, relative to our own performance?

>>31353535
>>31353535

Definetly so. We could start adding protective plates and even attempt to create additional main cannons right now.

The main restriction is our mass effect drive.
Our current form has just a right mass for safe jumps and planet-landings.

We could increase it by 97% and still be able to make FTL jumps, but we would not be able to land on planets and our maneuverability will decrease by 67%. Overall combat effectiveness seems to be less as the result.

While spying probes reach planets and it would take some months, you are free any sort of personal action.

You have a small amount of spying probes in your cargo space.

Your facility is already pumping out probes that gather previous metals and other elements, which are mostly used by the same facility to create more probes for now.

Construction of any other facility could wait till some months pass and enough resources are gathered.

Do you:

A. Scout other systems for element zero
B. Scout other systems for rich asteroid belts
C. Scout other systems for intelligent life
D. Scout other systems for life
E. Other

>>31353798
Can we cloak?

>>31353798
D.

Who are our neighbors?

>>31353798
>A

While we need more resources, Element Zero is a very important resource to have. The sooner we have more of it, the sooner we can increase our size without making ourselves slower

>>31353840
Sorry, I meant C.

>>31353798
I'm not sure how those options would be different from each other?

I mean, we'd have to FTL to a new system and scan around for all of those things, why couldn't we multitask?

>>31353861
good point. We could go to another system and scan it for it's resources. But I would prefer we go to a system that does have Element Zero.

>>31353798
>B. Scout other systems for rich asteroid belts
Eezo is fairly uncommon. We should build up our resources a bit before we do anything too noticable.

>>31353932
As long as we don't take Eezo from known Eezo sources or ships, we should be able to get Eezo without alerting anyone

I'd just like to point out to everyone that we still have *no idea* what we're facing here. We know there's an intelligent, tool building species with some form of FTL. We are completely in the dark as to their weapons, defenses, how they communicate at interstellar distances, what their policies are...or anything about them, really.

Making ourselves bigger has no meaning unless we know what we're going to be fighting and whether the increased size is useful or not. Similarly, just building resource extraction operations willy nilly is a waste of time until we know what we'd be using those resources for.

I think more intelligence about the galaxy should be our overriding priority. Until we know more, any action we take is just random noise.

>>31354074
I agree, which is why I voted C.

>>31353706
I'm sorry, but what exactly do you try to achieve with first question?

Scanning for eezo would take 3 weeks in an average system with planets, however, it could vary given a different amount of planets and their size.

Scanning for eezo in oort cloud of a system would take some decades.

The military drones we are currently able to make inside our hull: there are 2 main kinds: seeker swarms for small organic targets and oculii for armoured targets.

Seeker swarms are able for many more actions regarding organics then we can, capturing live subjects the main being the main one.

Oculii have virtually no armor and shields compared to us, but their lazer beams are comparable to ours. Amount of energy they create are roughly 20x less then our lazers and they cant fire it continiously as we can.Thus, they can be effective against ships when in great numbers.

Both types are cyborgs and require organic matter to be produces rapidly. Pure machine units of same purpose were proven to be less effective and require more space. Organic brain, apparently, takes less space then a machine one for some sorts of action.

>>31354074
Resourcing operations take time to set up and begin producing minerals. We need to set them up now so that when we do have enough intelligence to form a broader plan, there are resources ready for our use.

>>31353861
Fair point. I wanted to speed things up a little and make an action of scouting many many systems until you find something you want

>>31353798
>B. Scout other systems for rich asteroid belts

>>31354135
>I'm sorry, but what exactly do you try to achieve with first question?

Trying to find out if any maps we have can still be applied, which would significantly decrease the amount of time we'd have to scout.

Also, does the self-replication prohibition apply to factories which can construct builder units that can then create more factories?

Do we have the tech to harvest resources directly from stars?

>>31353798
>C. Scout other systems for intelligent life

>>31353832
No. We are some sort of stealthy as we are, because our mass effect drive gives no heat emissions.

The ship we encountered did have a very strong heat emission, suggesting it used a propulsion system for it's non-FTL drive.

If we project that those species detect ships based on their hear signatures, they wouldn't able to detect us until we are very close.

What is troubling is that they detected our active scans.

>>31354233
harvesting resources from stars is extremely inadvisable for a few reasons.

1. The massive amounts of heat would very likely make things difficult for us.

2. The radiation will also makes things difficult for us.

3. Stars don't actually have a lot of useful resources. It's mostly just Hydrogen, and some helium. Stars only make the heavier, more useful elements as it's dying and as it's exploding.

>>31354169
For harvesting oort clouds covertly, yes. But the timescales we're talking about are orders of magnitude greater than any other useful actions we could be taking.

And if we, for example, ran into a space hulk, we would have an absolutely perfect source of resources that we'd be able to exploit extremely fast.

>>31354337
Stars have 99.9% of the mass in a system. In terms of resource density, they are far and away the best places in a solar system providing you have the technology to properly exploit them.

And if you need particular elements, they're conveniently color coded.

>>31354346
yeah, but the Reaper doesn't know that. It is still a good Idea to set up a shop in some asteroid belt somewhere. even an automated resource gathering where we leave the drones to do it while we do something else.

>>31354406
Yes, the Stars contain most of the mass of the system. However, the resources we could get from them are not going to be extremely useful because it won't have any heavy metals. It might have oxygen and carbon, sure, but those aren't useful to us

>>31354475
Even main sequence stars have heavy elements in them, up through iron at the very least. It's not a very large % of the total mass of the star, but it doesn't need to be to still have more than every other celestial body in the system combined.

It took you only a couple of days to scout nine systems. 8 of them suggested having planets but actually didn't, nothing strange about that.

The ninth one had one gas giant and no life.

Then, you discovered a truly marvelous sight. Two stars orbiting a shared center of mass. There is a huge asteroid belt which also has gasses and liquids inside of it.

On the edge of a system, you discover a ship. It emits strong heat signatures but does not accelerate.

Do you:

A. Create a mining facility there.
B. Investigate the ship.
C. Destroy the ship.

You are welcome to choose many actions at once, especially when they make sence

>>31354475
Unless it's a neutron star with super-dense iron. The we stronk.

>>31354524
iirc, If a star has Iron in it, that star is going to die in a matter of seconds, and then super nova. and then all of the elements heavier than Iron are made during that explosion

>>31354568
>B. Investigate the ship.

The system sounds great for setting up a resource base, but other intelligent life takes priority.

>>31354568
>Investigate the ship

>>31354568
B first, if it shows any sign of aggression at any point, option C. Once we deal with the ship, we can do option A.

>>31354581
OP, can we do this? Get super stronk neutron star iron?

>>31354584
Nah, the fusion reactions in a star always go up through Iron, it's just that those reactions are not common relative to hydrogen fusion while the star is healthy, since hydrogen fusion is much much easier than something like carbon fusion.

>>31354233

About self-replication. It is not self-replication because we actually command builders to create factories through the quantum communication and then we command those factories to make probes that are also controlled by the same unit that has quantum communication.

We do not create AI. Like, at all. We are good at multitasking.

>>31354651
Degenerate matter is normally completely useless for a spaceship, since its mass is ludicrously high.

However, eezo might be able to circumvent that particular problem.

>>31354568
B then A.
We need to know if the ship will be a threat before we set up shop.

>>31354568

>B

as much as I want to set up mining facility, we can't do that without checking out that ship first.

>>31354581
I highly doubt we could get anything from a Neutron star. Much less get near it. I has crazy amounts of gravity.

>>31354667
The thing about Iron is that it absorbs massive amounts of energy, and instead of producing energy when it is fused, it absorbs energy, which causes stars to die within milliseconds of forming Iron in their core

>>31354651
The facility that is able to rip elements away from the neutron star would require a tremendous mass effect core, much bigger then any that have been recorded in our database.

Mining stars for elements is possible, thought it would also require making a facility with large mass effect core. Or a Dyson sphere. Overall, star mining is considered ineffective, but possible.

>>31354568
Option B, exploring time.

>>31354756
So long-term goal then.

You accelerate towards the ship, doing active and passive scans of it. You do not notice any changes in it's actions.

You discover that heat emissions are actually fires that burn through portions of the ship. It should have had a fair amount of oxygen, you guess.

You get a fair amount of knowledge considering the structure of a ship. It is composed mainly of the material unknown to you, which is worrying.

It's superstructure has a huge empty area, possibly a cargo hold. It uses 80% of the space inside.

You find a single weapon platform, which looks like a solid projection weapon.

Do you:
A. Destroy the ship
B. Leave it alone
C. Attach yourself to it's hull for some sort of action. (DC: easy)

>>31355000
Attatch to the ship, explore its electronic systems and analyze the material.

>>31355000
>C. Attach yourself to it's hull for some sort of action. (DC: easy)

Priorities would be
1.find anything resembling a computer core and dump all the information in it.
2.find any intelligent life still alive, and capture it for study
3.Get samples of the hull material sufficient to run analysis upon
4.try to commandeer the ship

>>31355000

deploy the combat forms to search the interior and deploy drones to analyze the weapon system.

Should we roll or do you?

>>31355000

>>31355000
>C. Attach yourself to it's hull for some sort of action
We must analyze the alloy, capture samples of the lifeforms for study, and see if there is a computer system that we can connect to and download information from.

>>31355153
Besides, were talking about 40k here. Who knows what kind of shit is in that ship. Could be Daemons, Necron Super AIs, All sorts of crap

At this point, any action has an equal level of risk simply because we don't know anything.

>>31355000

wrt iron in a star, here's a table showing the composition of our sun:
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/tables/suncomp.html

You successfully attach yourself to the hull of this slowly moving and slowly burning ship.

Using your blazers as scalpels, you manage to quickly drill small enough holes for your cables to reach inside. You search for sites of data input and soon enough you find it.

Meanwhile your intrusion did not go unnoticed. You actually hear screaming where cables went inside and then, in one place, something started to attack your cable.

But then, some milliseconds after you got physically connected, the ship is yours. You are very surprised that it is actually some sort of AI, thought it is in some form of hibernation, parts of it working and others not.

You register that ship have some structural damage, but nothing imposing it's life.

However, the same can't be said of organics that are presented on the ship in vast numbers. Life support systems are failing because of the loss of ship's structural integrity and your intrusion did not help it. With things going like they do, organics are likely to die within 40 hours.

You have no seeker swarms currently at your disposal. Scout probes are considered ineffective at capturing organics in this situation, being only able to push them in some direction. However, you have got full control of ship's systems, which include internal communications, life support, non-FTL drive, doors. Strangely, you can not detect FTL drive among ship's systems.

The organics are only interesting insofar as they are capable of providing information. Can we keep life support functioning for at least some of the organics in a limited area indefinitely? If so, try to find any specialists among the crew and herd them to the safe areas while we work on building some seeker swarms.

More importantly, we need to suck that AI dry of any knowledge it has, particularly how this ship got here without an FTL drive.

Bugger, I was hoping there was a work around if we were physically present. Like we could just directly jack into their corpses, you know?

>>31355945
On the bright side, after we strip the AI we'll have a good idea as to how many seeker swarms we should have on hand for situations like this in the future.

>>31355909
If we had Dragon's teeth and something to get them on it, we could do that. Unfortunately, we have neither

They are carbon based life forms made of left handed amino acids, like the majority of species your kind encountered before. What is more interesting is that those organics are mammals which are 1.6-2 meters in height. They have two genders with similar biology and little sexual dimorphism, as is expected from mammal species.

As for their social structure, little can be told from those data banks. There appears to be some sort of a hierarchy with one individual in charge of the ship. This captain of a ship also has subordinates, which look after different aspects of ship's functions.

Among them you find an individual with cybernetics covering most of her body. This individual is supposed to look after functioning of ship's systems.

Calculating the chances, you consider coercing organics into desirable course of action. Emulating captain's voice, you give crew an order to assemble into the undamaged portion of the ship and seal it.

Ship's AI have been immediately suborned and made serve us, as any such pitiful AI should. This AI does have no manufacturing capabilities at all and is unable to repair it's damaged structure. It looks like those organics really made good use of their AI, having it on a short leash. You admire such precaution.

>>31356050
HONK?

>>31356050
while usefull on telling us whats on the ship dose not tell us anything else like its FTL what sector we in basic history information on near by planets and any other intersding information i might have missed so start juiceing that AI for everything we can

>>31356192
It doesn't have a FTL drive.

>>31356050
Also, we should find this cyborg. He should be most interesting.
and depending on how lax he is on the subject of xenos tech, he will probably worship us.

Are we going to have any kind of dialogue with organics and if so do we get better results if we roleplay properly? Also loving the idea of this quest thanks for starting it op

>>31356192
he already told us we found no FTL drive

>OOC, this it totally an Adeptus ship, maybe a Battle Barge. Tunneling through the warp by strapping an insane, screaming man into the driver's seat and making him think really hard isn't the kind of FTL we are used to, and 90% of the info they have will be written on paper.

You start creating seeker swarms, manually moving some corpses with your data cables and then using them as quick source of organic materials.

The crew slowly assembles into the ordered area. You notice events when some of them attack each other. Surely, these species must be naturally aggressive or, maybe, this is their response to stress.

You notice someone trying to hack into the ship's systems which are now under your control. You quickly find it to be heavily implanted individual which is captain's subordinate.

Meanwhile, you start broadcasting the indoctrination signal. It is very effective at such short ranges. In 30 hours a significant portion of the crew is expected to be receptive towards your mental suggestions.

Describe the matter in which you are going to capture individuals. Your cargo hold could have only 150 of them placed inside.

The results of your dialogues will depend totally on what you say and maybe sometimes a dice too. You can describe what you say in vague manner or just write your monologue.

Also indoctrination is us talking with them while they are receptive to our suggestions, i.e. weakened state of mind. How we present ourselves in their hallucinations and what we say directly effects the result. Given enough time, however, most individuals can be found keys to, so you don't need to roleplay every indoctrination attempt.

Though i suppose it doesn't matter, since husks can survive in vacuum.

In which case, sending out small repair teams on the authority of the captain and husking them like someone suggested earlier sounds like the best course. We don't really need many of them in our hold, so have the crew go around repairing the ship as much as they can.

We really do need to find out how the ship got here without FTL and whether it's expecting more of its kind to arrive.

That, plus specifications/schematics on its drives, armor, weapons, support systems, general technical level, maps of the surrounding space with particular interest in which systems have intelligent life on them.

You order the crew to cease fighting. Nothing changes in fighting patterns.

Hack that Cyborg

hack then capture

how are you counting the rolls? best of first three or an average or something else?

it's a rouge trader vessel,the cyborg is the ship mistriss, why else would they be in the ass end of nowhere? warp storm tossed them off course, stranded beyond the light of the astronomicon, ship on fire, then some weird slaanesh fantasy thing attaches onto your ship and rips into your ship. machine spirits yelling in pain towards the tech priest, crazy shit goes down

during indoctrination, play to each persons weakness. monolouge should be the standard reaper one, throw in some stuff about the machine god and boom, instant cult.

The crew consisted of 11846 individuals during the last time of count, which happened 3 months ago.

Apparently, it was the time ship have made jump into the system.

Ship's logs have hundreds of such jumps. There is a pattern in them, half jumps are this ship jumping from a star system Pensula into neighboring star systems and another half is the ship jumping back.

It looks like the ship have gathered some materials from a number of inhabited planets and moved them to just one planet, which is called the capitol of the sub-sector.

Those organics appear to have a stars-spanning empire that consists of at least 57 worlds, thought there might be more.

oh my god, its during the great crusade, just after the emp leaves to start his glorious conquest of the stars.

either that, or it is an isolated sector that has been cut off from the imperium for ages.

What level of control do we have over life support? I'd like to start introducing some tranquillizing gas or sleep inducing agent to the remaining breathable atmosphere so we can deal with the organics at our leisure.

>>31356906
If the ship's been here 3 months, what happened to it that caused the structural damage and life support failure?

>>31356906
Turn on just one speaker in the captain's room.

"Query: Who am I?"

>>31356899
nice description, action suggestion 2meta4me

I have no idea atm, I just look at them and get an impression

Hacking the cyborg have proven unsuccessful. Her data receiving cables retreated too fast for us to analyse her implants and how to control them.

As for capturing the crew, it went rather successful. You have got most of them, including the implanted one, thought a subordinate called arm master and the captain shot themselves as soon as they saw seeker swarms coming at them.

Unfortunately, only 53 individuals were captured and transported before crew started to respond with fire weaponry, which quickly destroyed your swarms.

More then hundred individuals remain stung and lying in areas where their comrades retaliated. You could try moving them with your data cables. (DC:Hard)

Do we get 'umie paste if we fail?

>>31357010
We have total control of it. It has no sleep inducing agent or tranquilizing gas, thought a lack of air could make crew loose their consciousnesses and remain alive. You are not sure of these organics' strength.

>>31357149
The speaker turned on and broadcasting, you notice there is an individual running out of the room as soon as it started.

>>31357203
May be. We consider our cables being damaged by armed crew as greatest risk here.

>>31357234
Turn on speakers in whatever room this person runs into, repeating this exact same question to them once every 1000 seconds that pass without them responding while in that room.

Rolled 3

>>31357152
try to get them at least

>>31357261
You did not specify the voice we asked question in, so it was asked in captain's voice. This person answered on the third time we repeated it: "You are dead! And this is all your fault!".

>>31357394
do we know the man's name from our logs?

>>31357394
Copy this voice, reply, "Halt: Query: I am not dead. I am in the ship." Just for kicks, add the cyborg's voice, "I am a visitor, but young." Then, in the captain's voice, "I am a machine that lives, whatever science demands." Finally, in a purely robotic, synthesized voice, "Repeat Query: Who am I?"

>>31357394
Lock that room down and either vent it's atmosphere or start jacking up the carbon monoxide content of its atmosphere. Figure out who the highest ranking Organic still alive is and then see if they're interested in talking this out. Copy the tech girl's voice and mannerisms and be up front about us using them as a translation matrix.

>>31357481
Isn't he 40K policy for sapient AIs kill n sight and incinerate the remains?

>>31357567
The policy is "Fuck you I do wut ah waon."

>>31357152
I would have been more interested if you had gone with your own galaxy instead of just Reaper vs 40k.

Ah well. Have fun.

>>31357600
I'm not entirely sure that that's in the codex, actually.

>>31357631
I think he's speaking Ork my friend.

>>31357567
As far as 40k is concerned they're abominable intelligence, to be destroyed on sight.

>>31357654
I don't know.... he could be imitating any number of the voice actors.

>>31357394
Let's just lock the ship down, close all bulkheads, and wait for the captured individuals to be properly processed so that they can initiate critical repairs.

The others will be indoctrinated in due time.

Btw about my policies. I try doing every non-inclusive thing that you ask that does not impose risks or cuts opportunities and thus does not require approval from other players, since all this fuss with some random person in captain's room. It doesn't mean that the person is important, rather the contrary

This have been a great fun, thanks to everyone being active and creative. I will continue tomorrow, in, like, 8-10 hours. Meanwhile, my fragile form requires sleep. Someone, achieve it please and post a link here, please, so we can remember where we stop and I remember what we got.

>>31357943
Well, I mean archive it please.

>>31357943
You should get a twitter account so we can tell when you're running next, excluding tomorrow.

Aah, see there's a bit of a mistake.

Players love to occasional deal with this trivial little details. They add the spice of life to a quest. You mentioning this one individual running through the halls of the ship makes us want to preserve him, and corrupt him specifically. For someONE to run in the face of us presents a singular challenge that the incomprehensible number of "11865 crewmembers" simply can't convey.

>tl;dr put interesting/heroic NPCs in to give flavor.

>>31358024
Nice as it would be, you know it'll turn into a 'gotta catch em all' mentality.
