QuantumTroll Street Fighter/Space Station 10/8/2009 10:23:36 AM Level: 1 Experience: 0 Total Posts: 181	RE: Space Station FREYA Freya altered her course to match the Belladonna's intercept vector.  "The station is outside the belt?  Is my map that old, then? The vendor claimed it was only a year, but I've suspected that the cheat just relabeled it."   Before long, Jara was able to transmit listening post rights to Freya, who immediately plotted a clear route to the station.  "Thanks, Jara. Good to see you again.  Wanna dock and ride in with us, or will you stay out here?" [I was thinking, if Piet and Froderick and Jara want to spend a bit of time at Grayson station on "shore leave", I can run the bit characters needed for that.  Protocol droids, bartenders, masseurs, etc. I think it makes sense for the humans to have some human time, don't ya think?]
Kapitein Piet (Ethical) Space Pirate 10/8/2009 10:30:52 AM Level: 1 Experience: 0 Total Posts: 60	RE: Space Station FREYA "Hi there, Jara. Good to see you again. Could you patch us in to the Grayson sensor network? We have not detected any pirates, but if they're out there then it's crucial we maximize our sensor capacity so they don't get the drop on us. Freya can probably give you a feed from here to reciprocate. Another thing: any sign of either the Dark Lord of Tenerife or of the Hounds we impersonated?" He turned and asked both Froderick and Jara "Any potential leaks among the people at the station who might want to make an extra buck if they had the right information? We'll need to send them to some off-site project until we have both the options to flee or skirmish, lest we get caught with our pants down."
Jara Green freelance fighter pilot 10/8/2009 2:08:16 PM Level: 1 Experience: 0 Total Posts: 60	RE: Space Station FREYA As much as she liked Freya, she didn't enjoy artificial gravity. As well as with all of the pirate alerts she hadn't had much time to just fly with Belladonna she felt like she'd been neglecting her fighter, it was more than just a tool of war to her. "Roger Piet, patching you into the system now, we have had increased pirate activity lately, but that's not too uncommon, and those two are too much the bigshots to waste their time on our small colony. Along with neither of them would even know we were involved at all, and Freya here looks so much different I wouldn't have recognized her myself. I also didn't mention the incursion at all, so we should be plenty safe" Jara hesitated, she hoped Freya didn't take insult to Jara assigning her a gender. "That being the case I'd still like to fly escort Freya, it's nice to just feel space sometimes, and I'll want your full attention when I give you the surprise. If I dock now I'm afraid I won't be ale to contain myself. How's Froderick getting on? I'll admit I was surprised when he volunteered, he's always done excellent work, but otherwise he'd never seemed very active. When I gave the announcement he lit up like a nova and launched before anyone else knew what hit them." Once the network access was confirmed, granted, and the encryption codes transferred she flipped Belladonna and looped off into a loose perimeter around Freya, cavorting among the asteroids as if it were a game or a playground. (all your proper vocabulary use made me pull mine out by instinct I usually try to keep my wording easier to comprehend but it is kinda fun to cut loose on occasion, just like Jara is right now with the asteroids )
Froderick Engineer - Space & Cybernetics 10/8/2009 2:57:12 PM Level: 1 Experience: 0 Total Posts: 19	RE: Space Station FREYA [Quantumtroll: sounds good!] [Jara: your writing is perfectly excellent. I'm glad you're back in the thread.] "I'm doin' great, Jara. Thanks for asking." Froderick was actually touched. Like Jara said, the chances of a problem with one of the people here is negligible." "It'll take me some time to locate the parts and make the necessary adjustments before assembly. Once that's taken care of, assembly is quick, and we'll be ready for another test. Meanwhile, it'd be good if we gather all the equipment we might need in the field, that's difficult to manufacture. I'll take care of cybernetic spare parts. Freya'll be great at logistics, so maybe you and Piet can look for whatever weaponry and that sort of stuff we might need? I don't have the slightest idea of how to go about that, but I'm sure you do."
Kapitein Piet (Ethical) Space Pirate 10/8/2009 3:22:47 PM Level: 1 Experience: 0 Total Posts: 60	RE: Space Station FREYA Kapitein Piet said, "Let's see. Jarah - take some notes. We should get enough in-hull weapons for a whole crew, some heavier weapons, boarding traps, and boarding gear. What also would be handy would be a collection of jetsuits, grappling hooks, holo-projectors, surface scanners, spatial scanners, balloons, caltrops, and sticky tack." "I'm sure there are a thousand things I'm forgetting, but we'll add to the list later. Now, I'm not sure what of all we'll be able to find or afford, but it's imperative we don't forget sticky tack. The second-most important thing is booze and tobacco. Can't go on long hauls without enough rum. Can't think clearly in a clear room."
QuantumTroll Street Fighter/Space Station 10/9/2009 11:37:11 AM Level: 1 Experience: 0 Total Posts: 181	RE: Space Station FREYA [Piet/Froddy - It's Jara not Jarah ] Freya listened to the humans' plans and noted that they seemed to be forgetting something. "You know that I still have a very versatile little manufacturing complex in my belly?  Focus less on buying piracy things that we can't afford and more on procuring the means of production.  Food, helium, rare earth metals, crew members, these are the things we need that I cannot build. We also need tape, so you can help find a market for my skills and products." Products? An ill-used little planning module inserted its result into the executive function's stream – That 'bot we made to harvest the Calamitous is cheap, rugged, and highly effective. Wire it up to a basic robo-brain and you can sell it! Freya noted the thought and dismissed the program with a slightly increased allocation of resources.  This sort of idea might be useful very soon, but for now she needed to continue the discussion.   "Besides, unless Jara's surprise for me is more substantial than I have any reason to suspect, I intend to have us serving a tour of duty in Grayson's militia in exchange for the weapons and shields we need.  That will give us plenty of time to prepare for privateering later.  And we'll train our crew, too." The apparent confidence belied Freya's real thoughts.  She was anything but confident that Grayson's security council would trust a rogue robot with weaponry in a key leadership role in its militia.  Would Froderick and Jara be fooled, believe that this was a universe in which these things happened as a matter of course, and convey this perspective to Grayson and its leaders?  At worst, or so Planning said, her friends would think her naive and they'd try to find a different way.  And at best, the lie would become truth.
Jara Green freelance fighter pilot 10/9/2009 10:32:14 PM Level: 1 Experience: 0 Total Posts: 60	RE: Space Station FREYA Jara listened to the conversation as it was broadcast over the comms. She didn't bother trying to note down any of what Mr. Piet said, too busy having fun among the asteroids. Any pirate that had ever tried to take her on in an asteroid field had quickly regretted it. With the listening posts Freya could mostly track her movements. "Hm, I hadn't thought of that.... I'm not entirely sure how we'd use a cruiser type space station against pirates, maybe bait. Well... we could offer anyway." Now that FREYA had an active map, the flying was much smoother, and getting quicker. which only meant that Jara set a grin and began careening more wildly through the asteroids, she toned it down just a little after a couple near misses with some with more erratic trajectories. They began to reach the end of the field somewhat beyond which floated the asteroid cluster around the largish asteroid with the Grayson colony mined into it.
QuantumTroll Street Fighter/Space Station 10/10/2009 2:19:16 PM Level: 1 Experience: 0 Total Posts: 181	RE: Space Station FREYA Grayson Territories' capital, their main station, was a large mining colony that went deep into a nickel-iron asteroid. The surface features were dominated by a row of fourteen large docking structures which together formed the focus of an intense swarm of activity. Grayson Main, or affectionately 'Geem', was the hub of commerce and warehousing of the Territories. Direct trade with any of the smaller colonies was by mutual agreement forbidden in order for the small territories to present a truly united front to the galaxy. As Freya neared Main, she watched as boxy freighters not much larger than her were loaded with raw materials under the watchful eyes of a handful of guardian ships.  These were usually mercenaries employed by contract, and would follow a convoy to its destination.   Freya thought Jara's dubious reply was a bad sign and decided to try harder to imbue her friends with confidence.  "Forget 'space station', with a little work I'll be a frigate with an unsurpassed level of flexibility and range.  The pirates won't expect it and the Territories will be able to really put some fear into them." Static crackled over the comm as a new signal came in from the asteroid ahead.  "Hail Freya, we're watching you, but you're cleared to approach.  Approach vectors following..." The voice sounded bored, yet cautious, uncertainty caused by the lack of ordinary vessel identifiers and the obviously hand-made quality of Freya's hull itself.  She wondered what exactly to make of it.  "Thanks control, I'll be good."
Jara Green freelance fighter pilot 10/10/2009 11:43:50 PM Level: 1 Experience: 0 Total Posts: 60	RE: Space Station FREYA Belladonna's vector set her to dock with Freya instead of heading into the fighter bay. "Alright Freya I'm coming to you." Once docked Jara entered Freya, once again carrying a case though this one seemed significantly lighter than the one she had carried when they first met. (they would probably be a little leery, for the reasons you stated, but since they have a trade agreement they know it would be against Freya's interests to attack, and of course the fighter swarm they could set on her if she did)
QuantumTroll Street Fighter/Space Station 10/15/2009 9:35:17 AM Level: 1 Experience: 0 Total Posts: 181	RE: Space Station FREYA Freya's little truckbot was in the hall outside the airlock when Jara came out with her case. Extending its eyestalks to full length, it said, "Hi Jara, welcome back." The insides of Freya, though more recognizable than the exterior, were drastically different. An attempt at more human-centric designs was apparent, like the solid bar of green trim decorating the corridor wall and a much improved ceiling height, but the eclectic choice of materials and irregular angles were still very much in evidence. Truckbot led Jara to the bridge, where Piet, Froderick, and Freyabot were debating what sort of crew they should try to recruit when Jara entered the room.  Screens were filled with various views of Freya, both real and imagined designs. Truckbot folded itself down and slid into a shaft as Freyabot turned and said "Hi Jara, so you have a surprise in store?"
