After hearing Ybreg's idea and Emmets descryption Turana adds a sort of option "Yeah , good idea, so we can make a test if we can pull a cable through the portal..if it does instead of just cover something we can try making that pull trigger something else once we are at the other side .. like a explotion that would blow up that energy storage that emmet saw.. maybe we sould all take a closer look at it.. but we should take in considderation that we might alert the quintpods again.. which can also happen if we power up the portal again to test the rope approach, i think in both cases we have risks that can not be easility avoided"
OOC:
I also wonder if Turana can analize the parts of the shuttle with her understand numenera skill

OOC:
Sure, it could. If you want to try and rebuild it as a group effort, everybody make a roll and indicate if you have a possibly relevant skill.

If instead you want to try the rope trick, you will need to power the portal back up of course.

OOC:
Yeah the closest to relevant I have training in is ‘searching’. If we decide to rebuild it here’s my roll for the group.

Well, il first throw the dice and see how that works with Turana's skill and the group, ill vote for trying to analize the shuttle before trying the rope stunt

Emmett tries to assist where he can, hoping his past experiences with maintaining his body's tech will help to repair the craft.
OOC:
The dice really haven't been with me lately.

Haha, Skeptical. I'll wait for the others to add their rolls before intruding on that 1.

"There is a rattling, unnerving sort of movement in the craft before...a synth panel falls away and a bacon sandwich with avocado and mayo on wheat is sitting on a shelf. Strangely, it is in perfect condition. Emmett eats it and is satiated."

Feel free to use that, no need to thank me.

Y'breq (applying your roll as engineering), with the help of Lyle and Jaz, start to piece the design together. The ship appears to be fully functional, and you could just fly it away. However, the controls and readies when you figure those pout tell you that you are in the middle of a rocky chain of islands floating in the middle of nothingness, and outside of your cave, there is no air or warmth, exposure to which sure to kill even the harshest person in moments.

The craft is in a low power mode, but you can easily activate its main engine, and it will be able to power the portal on its own.

So you can move the craft so that the portal is no longer accessible to the quintpods, then go back through it. But to survive that journey, you'll need to attach the panels and seal them properly.

Turana's job is mostly to distract Emmett who appears to have a particular and violent distrust for the machine, and after nearly breaking some components, she gets him to join her in gathering the pulled apart synth panels from the surrounding junk pile, where he can do less harm.

I'm sorry sometimes i get lost with descriptions, i was looking in the previous posts for what did Y'breg found out and im not sure if i understood this right: so the portal that we used to get inside this cave its a actually a part of the shuttle / ship, but detached from it, which allowed us to go through it.. so one of the options is to re-assemble the whole thing, getting the ship and the portal part of it away of the cave and the quintpods.... having to seal the whole thing to avoid the freezing void of the outside ...am i too mistaken?

OOC:
That's what I understood so far.

You've categorized it adequately.
OOC:
Another way to look at it, on a meta level, you are close to getting a spaceship with a built in portal.

"What if we can repair this ship and just use it to get out of here? Anyone want to help me put these panels back on?"
Jun 9, 2021 11:08 am
"I’ll help however I can." Lyle volunteers.
Jun 9, 2021 6:17 pm
Jaz will help too.
"What's our plan once we get this working?"
Jun 10, 2021 6:03 pm
Lyle grins at his friend "Fiddle with it until it works? I dunno but having a machine between me and those skin peelers seems like a good start. Maybe if we can get it to move we can hop to a different rock island- someplace safe to suss it all out."

"It's a good point .. and also a positive way to see it, i kinda agree" She looks at Emmet, "Can you help me to move some of the pieces old guy? Those creatures left me a little bit hurt to coordinate my arm movements with the sufficient confidence to careful move those panels, at least for now" She takes a look in the direction where the quintpods were before.. so she might help Emmet to handle things with delicacy while feeling a little more secure hersself in the face of a posible new quintpod attack

Y'breq looks around the disassembled panels and begins trying to put the ship back together.

Emmett looks distrustfully at the craft, but no more distrustfully than he would at any contraption larger than himself. He busies his mind with trying to find the pieces of the thing. It feels like a child's puzzle, seeing the shape of the synth and matching it to what he think would be the right place on the craft.

It almost becomes entertaining before he turns and runs into Tirana, a small crash resounding. Emmett glances at the quints, but somehow they haven't noticed. Or don't care.

"I hope one of y'all can pilot the blasted thing. If we can get away from the bacon-makers, I'd be a lot more relaxed. Though, I'm lookin' forward to a look-see outside once we get it movin'. Seein' what Coop claimed was our planet's got me ready to see more. And if we can solve his little gate problem, it'd be nice to have a ship with a way to get back tacked onto it."
