"That's good to hear Krom, any memories coming back?", says Alandra right before Stinger starts talking.

"Clearly a plant.", she says after listening to both Sam and Singer.

Come on, help me open this safe.

Stinger takes his time to open the safe

Rolls

OOC:
I'm tired. As I read "Clearly a plant." I thought 'I don't recall any vegetation mentioned in the room
LoL, I think I need to go to bed.
The locker in the closet requires a digital key while the wall safe is a simple numeric keypad that could be programed with a code from 2 to 30 digits. Both will require some work and a roll or two to bypass
OOC:
Definitely tired and slow. Got bypasses by Cathamber while working on a response.
Stinger tries a number sequence, using basic information on the 1st officer and quickly determines it is 10 digit code.
Upon entering the third try there is a faint pop sound and a puff of vapor is emitted from the safe. Stinger need to roll a save Test At the same time Adonis's visor picks up a short but powerful EM spike from the safe. Roll a test to gain info on the visors readings
OOC:
A 6 would normally but a success and I don't normally narrate against rolled results but I want to convey that this has bit more requirements that just random guessing. Tools or Time(which he did say he would take) with possible failures with consequences and setbacks will be required. As Stinger posted before I fully described the safe I added this bit just for a bit of narrative flair and to reveal the effort that went into protecting the officers quarters. After Saving from the triggered trap another attempt can be made, with Advantage, to open the safe by proceeding more cautiously

"Anyone smell something?", Alandra says as she hears a faint pop.
OOC:
lol! Alandra was definitely talking about the lovely banana leaf plant in the center of the room.

Stinger continues to work, slowly but surely, to try to open the safe. Now happy that he discovered it is a 10-digit code.
On the pop, he quickly pull back and cover his face...

Stinger's quick reflexes allow him to dodge most of the vapors but he still feels light headed for about a minute Adonis alerts the others to the fact that the safe is not emitting a pulse signal. Together you work on the safe until your are able to open it. The contents inside are revealed to include a data chip, a small, high-powered laser pistol, and a fake identification card.
Jun 19, 2024 3:27 pm
"You alright. Stinger", says Alandra giving him a quick look over.

"You think Adonis or Sam can take a look at that datapad?", she continues after she is satisfied that Stinger is ok.

She bends over and picks up the fake ID.

"This is good, really good.", she whispers.
Jun 19, 2024 5:26 pm
Still a bit light-headed, Stinger gives the fake ID to Alandra, and takes the pistol.
What a luck! Right?

Yes, Adonis or Sam should be able to crack the data chip is it has some code... but probably it doesn't. I am more concerned that it may have another virus.


He tells Sam and Adonis about the data chip, and waits for them to decide who should check it up.

Then continues to search the room.

"Nothing so far, must have taken a pretty massive blow to have ended up like I did though." He replied to Alandra.

Krom helps with Stinger getting back up to form.

"Good work Stinger, someone else might have met their end breathing in whatever was set up in there." He said as he let Stinger go from his grip.

"Should we continue searching this room? Or move on to another?" He then asked them, through all of this, he keeps trying to remember what happened to him. How he ended up the way that he did, who attacked him?
OOC:
Krom would like to think back to see if he could remember any details of how he ended up injured, possibly, who attacked him.

Sam puts the chip on a table and gets her gear ready to try and read it. She does not connect it to any part of the ship for fear of adding another problem and she feels she just got most of the ship back together.

Taking her time she begins to probe the chip and sees if she can unlock it to find out what it has on it.

The data chip is a standard design so Sam just gets a dataslate and ensures its wireless interface is disabled, and even blacklists it from the ship network before inserting the chip into it. Most of the chip is encrypted so cracking it without access to the ships network will be slow but possible. Sam starts the slate working on this while Adonis begins setting up a profile on Elara to hopefully speed up cracking the chips encrypted contents. Once the ships systems have finished updating the Anti-virus protocols to clean and block the EWI attack you will be able to finish the job.

You do find that the chip has half of a back door protocol that would allow Elara to send and receive private encrypted messages using the ships long range communications without leaving a trace. Chip content posted to player notes HERE
OOC:
Let me know if anyone else has any projects to kick off before I FF to the next day and unlock the full ship and records you just found.
If you want to access the locker in the closet give me a post with rolls for any action taken.
By this time you are all a bit exhausted even though you have only been conscious for a couple of hours. Adonis offers to stay on the bridge while the rest of you get some much needed sleep. By time you wake you should be able to finish getting the ship fully integrated and start digging into the medical records with the upgraded computer security and anti-virus tools that engineerings computers has been working on.

Stinger is still feeling lucky, so he tries to open the locker in Elara's closet. Again, he takes his time to do it properly (focus). Hopefully he can get some sleep after finishing to check this quarters.
OOC:
I am starting to think that Stinger mistook his profession, he probably was a locksmith or a spy. :D

After getting some sleep Stinger spends several minutes working on the locker and eventually breaks it open with some tools from engineering and Sam's help. Inside, you find advanced infiltration gear, including a stealth suit, high-tech lockpicks, encrypted communication devices, and detailed schematics of the ship. There is also slots for other things which are now missing.

Adonis reports that the ships EW systems have finished updating and starting scanning all existing systems and firewalled all personal devices until they can be scanned and have their own firewalls and EW suites updated as well. He helps Alandra set the parameters for scanning and recovering data from the backup you stored in the recreation room systems. While doing this he recovers a record of a detected distress signal. Krom is now feeling much better and helps check the logs for the tactical system as he is the most familiar familiar with them and is able to recover additional information about the attack.

With all the ships systems now online and having had a good nights rest you gather in the galley to talk over breakfast. The ship has been fully explored save the captains quarters and all major systems are functioning within normal tolerances save the hyperdrive which is offline and thus prevents you from leaving the system via hyperspace. There are scrappers wandering the area and possibly the ship that attacked you, not to mention the other half of the crew that left with the shuttle and from what you can tell took it to the first planet, which is the only one with decent temperatures and atmosphere, though the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th all show signs of likely having been life bearing at some point in the past. You are currently in orbit of the 7th planet, the only gas giant and through your cloaking technology is decent you likely only remain undiscovered due to your location, immobility, and low power inactivity.
OOC:
Just a heads up but I will requires someone on bridge any time you wish to use a ship system, such as cloaking.
While it can be left on it is much less effective without a crewman manning the station. Adonis can do this sometimes but still needs to recharge and repair each day.
Jun 21, 2024 11:59 am
Stinger gets all abjects from the locker to examine later and goes to the bridge and does a routine check from the helm position.
After sleeping, he goes to the bridge for a quick check on the helm position (he doesn't like surprises over breakfast) and then he also gathers with the team on the galley to talk over breakfast.
Jun 21, 2024 6:37 pm
Alandra wakes on one of the medical beds feeling refreshed. Although the stress of the previous day lingers in the back of her mind, she ignores it. She swings her legs and hops off the bed. Stretching, she walks over to the medbay computer and checks on it's progress. Once done, she heads to the galley for breakfast.
Jun 21, 2024 7:24 pm
Krom sleeps through the night, still feeling a little sore as his body moved, but the rest did him good and he no longer felt the aches and pains that he had suffered the day before. He follows the others for breakfast.

"So anyone have any weird dreams last night, maybe a memory of the past that explains how we got here?" He asked the group as he ate.
Jun 22, 2024 4:52 am
OOC:
Interesting suggestion let's see . . .
Though you all had troubled sleep most of the dreams and jumbled recollections are incoherent
Krom's Nightmare/Recollections of the Assault says:

Krom shudders as he recalls last night's dreams. Chaotic scene where the ship is under attack. Blurred figures move swiftly through the corridors, and alarms blare in the background. A strange glowing mass. And a frantic fight after being cut off from the captain and others before being shot and left for dead. Though he is uncertain he believes the dream was mixing memories of the assault when the artifact was lost and the mutiny.
Stingers night time recollections says:

Stinger have a vague impression of a mysterious, ancient ruin on an uninhabitable planet. The images he reals are of him working with others on the ship to make detailed scans of the planet, especially around the ruins. He does not think he went planet side but is confident that if the plant is in systems, as you all suspect this system is where it all happened, and that many scans were taken then perhaps recovering some of that data will be easier as there was so much of it.

"Not that I can recall, but I hardly remember my dreams on the best of days", Alandra says picking up her cup of COF-EEY. She swallows the synthetic brew and grimaces.

"Really wish we had the real thing.", she mutters.
