TSO 2: Reclaiming the Odyssey

Sam is able to access the scanners but hits the same block of needing to control things manually. Until all systems are restored and integrated then there is limited functionality for system automation and integration. Ex Sensors are used by Navigation and Weapons but both Weapons and Navigations have their own dedicated sensors.

None of these systems have the full dedicated computation power to operate at 100% without the ship computer system (Bridge). Engineering has the backups, provides power, etc but it does not have the computation power to support all the systems.

The scanners are physically fine but have the virus and lockouts on some features. Sam is able to bypass the lockout and gain direct access to the scanners and Holo-projectors in a couple of minutes but to clean the virus you will either need to either wait for engineering to finalize the virus removal procedure or take them down entirely to purge the virus and remove all locks. If you take scanners offline now then Stinger would have a much harder time navigating as he would be reduced to driving by camera again until they came back up. (30 minutes with the help of Adoniz and Alandra)

Stinger focuses on driving and just stays in the pocket with minor updates to his position.I am assuming you are trying to lay low so relying on passive sensor and your stealth system combined with the ring system to hide and wait. Alandra and Stinger are working on this. Sam is working on sensors but I need to know what you want to do. Full reset 45 minutes with Adonis help, or 30 with Alondra as well, during which you are essentially blind. Minor improvement to system performance and integration to stealth/navigation.

If you give we a plan of action and/or time frame to work with I will alert you if/when anything changes.

Sam spends the next few minutes and gets basic access to the weapons. (updated on the ship) As the system is still locked down targeting is a bit off but you all feel better knowing that you have defense, mobility, and offense.

As the Holo emitters are tied to the sensor system you will need to take the entire system offline to clear the virus and lockouts but Sam does manage to access the external Holo emitters. They are in a similar state to the stealth system in that they can be activated but not automated yet. As you with on this you detect active scans sweep the area again. roll for the Holo emitters.
If successful then rolls for stealth gain advantage

With both the stealth and Holo systems active you are confident their scans will not be able to find you in the rings. If the salvage ship is still en route to you it should arrive any minute. Their scans continue to sweep the area but they are likely expanding their search as they sweep your area less often.

You remain allert and on the bridge a few minutes more .. .And while one of the scans sweeps directly over you your stealth and camouflage seting are stable and you feel confident they found nothing. After several tense minutes you begin to relax.

During the wait you look around for a location you can hide the ship while you work on restoring the rest of the major systems. Staying in the ring system while blind or imobile is not a good idea. While the ship can move in atmosphere it is not fast or maneuverable while doing so. The gas giant would crush the ship if it went too low but there are a couple moons that you can go to . Fortunately the shields and cloaking system are now fine so you can simply move out of the rings and orbit the gas giant.

Where do you want to park for repairing the engines and scanners and possibly the rest of the ship while you are at it?

The engines, scanners, and weapons are the last major system that need to be reset. Other than those you still need to reset the internal security(armory) and reset the primary computers on the bridge. All the jobs will take about 1/2 hour each with two people helping Sam. Adding a third would do little so 1 can remain on the bridge or in engineering to monitor things or finish checking out the rest of the ship
