Stinger ponders their words, it is true that Jaxon was drawn strongly to the artifact as we read in his journal before the start of their symbiosis... to the point of risking everything to be closer to it. That gives credit to the crystal voice, although a psychiatrist may think otherwise.

"Regarding your psychic powers, you must already be aware that we see uninvited incursions to our thoughts as a breach of privacy, and as such, a kind of violence. We will appreciate if you do not execute further incursions unless of course you are invited by someone. As such, a valid invitation is only to his or her own mind, so it is not valid an invitation into someone else's mind. I am stating this aloud, so that there are no misunderstandings in the future. Do you agree?

Also, as I understand, and please do correct me if I am mistaken, the Artifact is the source of your conscience. It was seeking someone to bond with, it was found by Jaxon Thrace who was willing to bond, and now the process is in progress. Also, for now you are content to watch and learn because you lack space mobility.
But my question has remained unanswered: can you share with us your reasons and intentions to call us? Watch and learn is clearly a stepping stone to your goal, and you have not yet share it with us.

Krom hears the replies from the crew.

"Activating comms, Sam, an you hear me Sam?" He asked.

"If you can, let me know how the engines are looking, I don't know how long that thing has been sitting here, but it's only a matter of time before that ships scanners pick us up. I am planning on making a jump as soon as I hear the okay from you. Over." He added.

He then waited for Sam's reply and then prepared a course away from the scavenger ship.
OOC:
Would you like me to make a roll to plan out a pathway to jump?

Well, this is an unexpected turn of events... Thrace, are you able to assist us without integrating throughout the ship? You understand our hesitation but you likely also understand our need, as we are handful of crew members where were once dozens. I can't speak for everyone but I don't know if I want to be a part of a sentient ship...

Crystalline Thrace

At present our abilities are those of our crystalline component which must touch thing to affect them and those that the captain already had, though now they are more refined in their execution, and limited to the range of the ship. They then explain their abilities

"Captain, no disrespect, but I'm really uncomfortable with letting you have access with the ship. If it was just up to me, I would say absolutely not. As Stinger says, we don't yet know your motivations. I do understand your desire to reconnect with the artifact, sorry, the rest of your consciousness.", Alandra says taking a step towards the Captain.
OOC:
The Captain's abilities are really cool and if I was playing a different character, I'd say go for it, BUT I don't think Alandra in this situation would be up for it.

We have not breached your psychic singularities. We are merely projecting in such a way as to be properly understood. We will respect your desire that we not push deeper into you psychic singularities if this is required to remain amicable and onboard. If you truly do not wish even the most basic of communications as well we can agree but will simply point out that this is a paranoid over reaction.

We understand your reluctance and will abide by your decision for now. Hower, we do not wish to be captured or slain by the pirates or others. Should we feel threatened we will act as we deemed most prudent to maintain continued existence and a healthy environment.

DOCTOR!
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that.", Alandra says and then leans towards Stinger, "Maybe we should check in on that Scrapper situation?"

With the ship systems reintegrated Krom can see the engines, as well as all other systems, are ready for power. The scrappers are not currently in direct sensor but from the last time you spotted them it looked like they were heading your way before moving below the horizon of the little one you are still parked on By his estimate, if the scavengers were truly aware of your location and intent on reaching you then they could be to the moon soon, if not already in orbit and staying just out of sight.

"Thank you Captian, that has been insightful. I'm going to check on Krom.", Alandra says, nods at the crew and Captain, and then turns to leave.

"It would probably be best if I went to the bridge to see what other systems need repairing." With that, HAL excuses himself and heads toward the bridge.
Sep 6, 2024 11:28 pm
You reach the bridge to find Krom hunched over the sensor console growling at it, as if to intimidate the reading into showing him the ship he is certain is hiding there just out of sight. A quick check reveals all systems are operational but all save the holo-emitters and stealth field are currently offline to reduce your energy signature.

Then, as if in answer to the hulkin tactical officers threats, one of the sensors flickers ever so briefly. If He had not raised the sensor sensitivity as high as possible it is doubtful you would even sensed anything. As it is the sensor triggered bring other questions. The anomaly was detected on the moons surface several miles away. The moon is mostly flat with only asteroid impact craters decorating its surface. The ship is parked at the lip of one that is crumbling and using the holographic projectors to conceal the ship as the section of the crato that collapsed. A quick check of the sensor reveals that it detected a minute heat signature and energy fluctuation at the lip of a nearby crater before the source vanished.

Sam waits in the engineering room just in case things go bad quickly so to make sure the ship has power and working in peak efficiency.
While waiting she opens up another monitor and begins to have the computer start to compile all the data they have received and try to further improve the timeline of when things happen and to try to put together any cause and effect that might be found. she puts it as low priority as not to hamper any critical operations and sets it to pause in case of increased use of other systems that begin to draw more power.

Avro continues to assist Sam in Engineering...
Sep 8, 2024 5:23 am
Stinger goes back to the bridge and takes the pilot seat he knows well. After hearing Krom's findings, he opens the Comms:

"Hello everybody, it seems that the pirates are aware of us. Since they have, they may not yet know our exact position, but they seem to be hiding nearby waiting for us to appear in their sensor to launch their attack.
Please everyone in their positions and ready for evasive maneuvers if needed.

The plan is to change our disguise to an asteroid and float away for a few kilometres, then turn on engines to warp out of sight. This may allow us to have some distance before creating enough engine heat for them to detect... but we need to think that they ARE waiting for anomalies, and a sigle astéroïde that just appear may just be considered one. All plan alternatives are welcome now, before we launch."

Then Stinger checks all systems and waits for everyone, including Jaxon, to comment on the plan.

"Sounds like a plan to me. I'll be ready with my med kit in case we get into a scrape.", Alandra says patting her med kit and heads to med-bay.

HAL takes his place at his station.
Sep 9, 2024 1:43 pm
Krom, please man the Plasma cannon, Hal please help with the Gravity cannon on damage setting, Avro please man the Lasers. With Sam at engineering, Alandra at med bay, and me checking the cloaking... I do hope we get out of here in one piece. If we are discovered, aim at their weapons. Everyone ready?

Stinger sets a course trying to keep this moon between the pirates and our ship, and readies the change the settings of the cloaking device to take the form of a meteor or big rock (as if fallen from the moon). But do not engage these changes until everyone is ready at their posts.

Only when everyone is ready, he engages the cloaking change and starts the stealth engine at a speed that would mimic a meteor. If discovered, he will go full speed.

Avro sprints up to the bridge and mans the lasers near the tactical station. Quickly analyzing the layout of the controls and familiarizing themselves with targeting... calls out: Laser's manned and ready for action Sir.
Sep 9, 2024 5:54 pm
HAL accesses the controls to the gravity cannon and fine tunes the damage setting. "Gravity cannon ready."
Sep 9, 2024 11:00 pm
"Got it Stinger!", Alandra says and checks her med kit.
