They do it so well that almost all of the energy transmission between the engine room and the lasers is perfect, meaning your lasers are much more effective than they otherwise would have been. Neewri and Forty have pretty much confirmed they are good friends now.

As you fly up into space and take the route directly going to the Trade Route, the ship detects something and displays the following warning:

< A NEARBY STAR IS EMITTING SPECIAL WAVES - A SMALL GROUP OF SPECIFIC SPECIES MAY SUFFER SIDE EFFECTS FROM PROLONGED EXPOSURE. RANGING FROM NAUSEA, MENTAL PROBLEMS, HEALTH PROBLEMS, TUMORS AND OTHER MUTATIONS. WITH CURRENT ROUTE YOU WILL BE IN THE WAVE ZONE FOR 5 STRAIGHT HOURS. >

No one are away if they will be affected, although Forty says that he is, in fact, immune to this kind of wave, and so should orcs be, since he was guarding another orc a place where these waves were active all the time.

You decide to take the chances and go through the waves.
You now have some time to spend with your crew members, or you can just 'skip' to when you are at the ODIN ships.

Inquire about everyone's abilities at shooting and evading. Train the ones who are good at each.

Make some crude spikes and place them in the ship such that they are hard to spot but easy to avoid if you know where they are.

Ask Neewri and Forty what's needed to improve the Mining Laser's efficiency, and the possibilities of overclocking them.

>>33718303
>overclocking a laser
Is that a thing. It doesn't sound like a thing.

Rolled 59

>>33718325
Well it depends on how the laser produces the light, and the materials that handle and focus said light. It's possible that adding more power will increase the strength of the laser, but the lens/some other crap would melt from prolonged use at such rates.

>>33718265
>Ask Forty more about his previous space-traveling experience.
>Forty: I have been on various planets guarding various races, i was mostly shut down while i was being transported. I guarded anything from political figures to families. The only reason i am still in service after my services and unneeded is because i volunteered to join the VIOARR fleet.

>Ask Fluff how she learned to be a navigator.
>Fluff: My previous job was a, uh, mobilized vendor and transporter, i flew around to various clients all over the galaxy. I decided to change job to this after i was starting to get tired of having to fly around all the time with nothing really to do and no variation.

>Soo...he doesn't know? Not very clear.
No one on your crew are too well acquinted with material properties, Neewri knows engineering so he was the best suited to inspect it. He found no anti-radiation properties in the materials.

>>33718303
>Make fake radiator fins using scrap and attach them to the armored sections of the ship
>Ask Neewri and Forty what's needed to improve the Mining Laser's efficiency, and the possibilities of overclocking them.
You do not have the equipment to leave the spaceship and make exterior modification while in the void

>Ask Forty if he has any training programs/regiments
>Forty: Sorry, i was never given training protocols. If i trained my clients back in the day they would not need to pay my manufacturers anymore. It is pretty morally terrible, but i am not programmed to experience hate, so it is just <POSITIVE NOUN>.

>Inquire about everyone's abilities at shooting and evading. Train the ones who are good at each.

You tell everyone to be alert. After a bit of shooting asteroids you determine that Neewri and Fluff are the best at using the ships lasers (Equally skilled)

>>33718425
Reflexes and Perception for both Piloting and Gunnrey. Intelligence can also be useful though for knowing where to shoot, like knowing a ships blueprint. Fluff is also more skilled and evading shots due to her navigation and experience about flying ships.

You allowed Fluff to aim and shoot, and she hit just in the power generator room, making the ship only run on backup batteries now. The ship fires a beam back, but due to the lack of abundant energy it barely hurts your ship.
Their limited amount of energy also makes them unable to escape from you.
Beakers falls down on the ground and you hear him shout

Well, some soothing jazz would perhaps help. Or opera.

If neither of those are options, banging on the wall and hollering "HEY! KEEP IT DOWN IN THERE, WILLYA?" may get the desired result.

Rolls matter when i say "Skill Check" and "Luck Check" and so on in that fashion. Otherwise it is just the lowest roll that get to decide, sometimes someone rolls lower but do it slightly before i made the post, so i can't see it in time.

As you are about to go out and inestigate, Beaker opens the door with a laser pistol ready, he seems to be twitching like mad
>Beaker: BACK OFF! RIGHT NOW, HANDS UP EVERYTHING. I am Commandeering your ship, you GODDAMN SCUM. Do you have ANY idea what i've been through to get to this point? I sold that starshine drug on the street for HALF MY LIFE to get enough money so i could escape. I made so many connections to get a fake ID to get into ODIN. I've done nothing but work for other people my entire life and being a bottom bitch. I finally had something, i passed the captains test under my new identity, 'Beaker', i finally owned something, i finally had control over my life. I've done so much for ODIN, i became an Honor captain. I try and be nice, i try and let everyone go, but it is people like YOU who makes us having to kill people. I've done nothing to YOU. Do you have ANY IDEA WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE TRADE ROUTES FUND? HAVE YOU EVER EVEN TALKED WITH ANYONE FROM ANOTHER CONFEDERATION? Vioarr is nothing but brainwashed zombies, they don't care about you. I'm trying to help you people the most peaceful way possible. I only want to help, but you, youuuu, made me do this. Give me a single reason why i should not pull this trigger, you are beyond saving.

It is people like YOU that makes us having to kill, we diden't do anything to YOU, you could just have ignored ODIN's orders. ODIN is nothing but heavily manipulated highassed twinks. You shouldn't pull that trigger because i am trained in hand-to-hand combat, and because you left the safety on.

So what you're saying is that we don't have spacesuits.

Check if the hole we put in the engine was shut off before it turned the entire ship airless. If it didn't, we can still dock. If the pressure is still a vacuum, we can send Forty, right?

It seems that the docking entrance is still functioning, and the hallways still have normal pressure levels, but we know we've blown up 2 rooms which now lead to the void nad has a massive vacuum, sucking anyone out if opened, and we have no idea what the floorplans are, so opening doors in the ship will be a form of Russian roulette.

>>33720686
Well, we have the mining laser, a precision cutter. We can open the holes we made and view the rooms inside. Extrapolating from that, we can see which rooms are compromised and which doors not to open.

Whether all of this is worth the effort on the other hand...

>>33720757
I don't get what you are trying to do, making holes to see what is inside will just make make more holes in the rooms that will make that room also have acces to the void making the pressure deadly.

Rolled 38

>>33720957
Open up the holes we ALREADY made, which is why I said precision. By restricting the cuts to rooms that are already vacuumed, you can get a better look at the inside and estimate the floor plan, or at least which parts of the ship not to go into.

>>33720957
I think he means to widen the holes in the damaged areas so you can check if the room sealed off from the non-damaged parts. Thus we know the location of which rooms are currently non-oxygenated. Making it easier to explore the interior.
