Where We Were
- Fix Shackleton!
- Check out the Mariposa research lab!
- RETURN … TO … SPAAAAAAAAACE!
Mariposa
Access to lab cameras.
ALGO has access to data banks, too.
Bleys to roll against the ship to Secure Advantage ==> Miss + Mo ==> Strong Hit
Bleys to Gather Information +1 ==> Strong Hit
Data! Pertinent things!
It’s all about … the Chair.
Self-healing … the skates were the experiment. Keep healing.
Kind of like Faith … who has been through the chair and has never aged.
Nails now understands the skate biology better. Vow advance.
And Nails: the Mariposa vault being safe and secure vow advances. ==> OPPORTUNITY
----> something that ties into the meteor shield control that gives them more control over which meteors hit and where and what material they are made of.
Skate Biology Vow … Nails ==> Strong Hit. Pass on to Mariposans for protection (and future skate mining).
And we really want to deal with the Dude in the Chair … but it’s important to get into SPAAAAAACE!
Shackleton
Off to Shackleton by shuttle.
Lincoln lowers the shield, the door opens. We can hear people talking.
Go to where the injured are. Very Mall Food Court.
Half-dozen Shackletons following Nan around. Enraptured.
Fulfill vow to Nan ==> Strong Hit! (XP!)
Need a leader here.
Leslie is … over talking with other people. “… yes, so they made fire, and that’s what they were cooking their food on.” Disgusted! Intrigued! And then a description of shovels …
Bleys - how are you doing.
Leslie - these are the people … from SPAAAAAACE!
Leslie - Are they friends now? Great! Some of us want to see Mariposa.
Earl - Need folk to help with building. So can vouch for them as workers to Faith.
Nan as a bond ==> Weak Hit. Wants to stay in Shackleton but will not be leader.
“What would Nan do?” games.
Cultural exchange … folk willing to help out from Shackleton, while Mariposans come to visit family.
“We don’t need you to be in charge. Just need some coverage until one of them is ready.”
So do a compel to force a leadership election (of Leslie).
Bleys.
Get Nan’s help. +1 on roll.
Compel ==> Strong Hit.
Bleys gives a speech.
And they really do choose Leslie. Narrowly. And she doesn’t freak out.
Bleys tests the relationship with Leslie - OPPORTUNITY!
Vow on Shackleton Autonomy ==> Strong Hit
Earl - putting up the antenna.
Nails is helping. Hauling stuff. Assist (Iron) ==> OPPORTUNITY!
Gather Info (on people who show up) - Use Nails’ roll!
Face Danger (to set up tech) -
Nail recognizes Earl as more than a tech grunt.
Even though Nails is here rolling Iron, she’s also able to evaluate the other people. Recognize her as more than a grunt.
Earl ==> Strong Hit! to bring online.
Fulfill Vow ==> Strong Hit!
Drop off Shackletons to Mariposa. Explain them to Faith.
Also, Earl explains how the skates were mutated by research on the magic health chair’s Precursor tech. And someone who’s sat in the chair … might be around for a while.
Nails helps focus on the positive points. +1 ==> Strong Hit
Test of Relationship +1 ==> Miss! + Mo ==> Weak Hit.
Fine, but demand/complication. Faith is frustrated. Then pacing.
E - Yeah, it was Paxton.
F - I shot him in the face.
E - Yeah, he’s in the box right now. Carter, who is not happy, did not know.
F - So when’s Paxton coming out of the box?
E - Believe me when I say that we want nothing more than that. He’s all tangled up with the database we need to get things online. Trying to undo that.
F - Fine. Where’s the radio to Carter. Going to go do that.
So 7/10 on Healthy Settlement Relationships. ==> Weak Hit … get reward, all, but “healthy” is a matter of weeks.
And 7/10 on Faith. ==> Strong Hit
And we get away to …
