Is there a reason, other than everyone wanting to see Cass rolling around in a hamster ball, that a sterile contraption couldn't be made to just contain her head and neck? Chapter IIa: Absolute Disaster

I imagine it would be difficult to keep it completely airtight if it doesn't surround you completely.Also, don't look at me. It was all Robb's idea. I just wanted you to stay in your aquarium for a few hours

LOL So how's she going to breathe in an airtight hamster ball? This is sounding less plausible than the idea that Geordi had to wear a weird visor for decades because it was easier than designing mechanical eyes. Mar 16, 2019 1:41 pm
OOC:
Wait, you want to breathe? Well, same way you're breathing now in the tube, with a filtered system for exchanging air.
Look, Marbo succeeded at a cost, so I thought you'd just take some extra time to recover. I didn't know fishboi would turn this into his new science project xD - Should have guessed though.
I'm fine with it just being a big helmet-backpack-combination, if you prefer.

Nah, it's fine and it'll be funny as hell. I'm just interrogating the concept a little so I have an understanding of how it's supposed to work. Mar 16, 2019 1:49 pm
OOC:
As long as we all understand that a helmet and backpack combination would be way more practical. I'm now trying to picture how she's going to sit down in this thing. Does she just stand up all the time? Does the ball have a flip-down shelf to sit on? So many questions! Mar 16, 2019 1:52 pm
OOC:
The hamster ball might be a tad bit ridiculous but you can do what you want. Once the current situation with the second ship is resolved, there should be a breather moment after which you should be okay walking around normally againRolls
How ridiculous is hamster ball Cassano in %? - (1D100)

Moira, the new ship still still doesn't respond or acknowledge your hails but on Darcy's request you have patched her through to them on a frequency that they will definitely hear, whether they want to talk to you or not.
"Unidentified vessel. This is Acting Captain Cassandra Darcy of the USS Potential. You are intruding into an active conflict situation between two Consortium ships and a hostile pirate vessel. Identify yourself immediately or we will open fire."
You can tell that Darcy is a security officer. She seems much more willing to engage in open combat than the original Captain Darcy or Cass.
She signals Moira to cut the transmission. "Bruce, did we get our crew back on board? I want those shields up ASAP!"

Is this taking place at the same time that Cass is having her (protracted) conversation with Marbo? Is it also happening while Kendall is talking to her (which technically hasn't happened yet, player-wise)?

Moira replies, a little too loud.
Aye, Actin' Captain Darcy! Dr. Zlam, please report ta tha transporter room ta check fer damages and bugs!
She took a moment to reply because she's distracted trying to make a "synth-shell" for the parasites. Space combat is awesome, but she'd rather not have to be responsible for killing an entire race. Even one that's openly hostile and freaking insane.
She's working with the healed Davis. Even with both their hands, there's nobody she'd rather work with to cobble together an attempt at peace.
The basic design is a used, cleaned fluids can, with the lid bent into a container on the top. In the container, the "eyes" are made of a small camera and a voice modulator. Two discontinued mechanical arms make the three-fingered arms of the creature, and the base is on a multi-directional wheel. She's left the electric connectors loose so that the blobs can control them with their own synapses, and she's filled the rest of the bowl with a boiled red cabbage recipe she learned on earth from a Ukrainian friend at a bar. Long story. That's not the important part!
She's finishing up the final checks, hoping there's one shot left for these blobs before Darcy blows them all to smithereens.
Edit: To clarify, she did take care of all of Darcy's requests before she started working. She just forgot to reply.

I roll Lasers with Prepared (since she made the schematic earlier), and help (since she's working with Davis).Edit: To clarify, she did take care of all of Darcy's requests before she started working. She just forgot to reply.

She sent me to set stuff at engineering. I thought I went there, but I realize I may have commed down. Can I say I called Davis to meet me on the bridge with the stuff? I still have my best tool belt on me. Sorry about the mix up. Mar 16, 2019 9:16 pm
OOC:
I thought you would just comm down but if Moira prefers to go down in person and do work with Davis there, Darcy won't stop herMar 16, 2019 11:09 pm
OOC:
Either way. I don’t mind the visual of Moira and Davis clunking awayon the bridge itself. Mar 17, 2019 7:12 am
Moira, you finish up the prototype. It looks a bit rough and you will most likely have to adjust things after one of the parasites is inside, since you do not know their exact requirements but as a prototype, it should be okay.
If you want, you can go to sickbay to test it out on your prisoner
