jameson (ST) Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 OK I'll NPC Buzz for now, I just wanted to check with you all first.Jimmy according to the sheet you sent me you have the EM Scan enhancement which basically allows for tuning up and down the EM Spectrum around the Visible light range. There is a separate power which allows for Microwave, X-ray, gamma ray and so on (which are at the extreme ends of the EM Spectrum) If your sheet is wrong as to which power you have I apologize. I'm 99% certain that I have the powers correct in my head as well but there is margin for error I'll also double check when I get home tonight.

BlueNinja Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Electromagnetic Vision lets you see IR and UV as well as zoom.High End EM Scan is the 'x-ray vision'.I have no idea which one he has, but I have to keep them straight for my own game, so I hope that helps.

jameson (ST) Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 OK then I was correct in my divison of powers, according to the most recent version of Jimmy's sheet he has the first and not the second. High End EM Scan also includes Gama, and Microwaves I think.Radio waves are covered by a third enhancement IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNinja Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hyper hearing covers listening in on radio waves, which really does not make sense to me, but that's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Yeah especially since TV is transmitted by radio waves, I would probably allow somebody to "see" video transmissions using High End EM Scan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzkill Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Sorry guys, I really don't know what happened. I've been checking the website every day (multiple times actually) but there was no updates. I had no idea that the website had changed. My latest post took advantage of a flaw that Buzz has, Flashbacks, hopefully that will make up for lost time. When did the website change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jameson (ST) Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Let's assume (for my sanity) that Buzz managed to get the message to courier I PMed off before his flashback, I will update my previous post with the message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzkill Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 OK, got the message, (love the wording BTW), and I'd say his marbles are together enough to send it off now that he's getting his head together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 I do my best Waiting for Jimmy and Raider to pipe in, either way I'll post tonight, probably late, 10-11 pm EST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I suppose I could have gone with a dream sequence. I just wanted everyone to know that Gregory will be sleeping until someone wakes him, or 6 hours have past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzkill Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Um...yeah you just basically created the classic sitcom 'awkward moment'. I'll start calling you Kramer from now on I think.

jameson (ST) Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Updated for Buzz and Adam, Unless the rest of you decide to do somethign different or are interrupted by Buzz and Adam I will leave it to you for the time being. There's not much need of me to detail sleeping and detailed engineeing work.Jimmy are you out there? Just say somethign so that I know you are still playing.

Michael Peters Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Sorry guys, its been really hard finding time to post lately. The new job eats way more of my free time than I had anticipated. I should be able to give a comprehensive post when I get off of work. Weekends are an issue for me though. I'm really sorry Dr. if I'm bogging down the game.

jameson (ST) Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Don't worry about it, it hasn;t been much of an issue yet.Moving forward if you think you won't be able to keep up with the post-a-day pace try to include in your posts what Jimmy will do next/moving forward a bit more. It will help me to keep Jimmy in the action on those days that you are unable to post. As for weekends don't worry about that at all, I'm starting a house hunt soon so my weekend time will be reduced, add to that the holidays, and my other gaming and social commitments and weekend will continue to "down time", the best I can hope for it to post on Sunday evenings if the need is there.Just so you all know I will be out of town and away from my PC for the whole week of Thanksgiving (Nov 18-25/26) with limited internet access, I will post when I can that week but don't be suprised if it is a quiet week, I'll be back in full force the following week however.

jameson (ST) Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Just to be clear (for myself as much as for you guys)Raider - dismantling the engine, I'm assuming you are basically "taking 20" i.e. being careful and methodical so as not to require a roll, if you are doing a full on rush job let me know and I will make a rollJimmy - Helping Raider???Courier - hanging out at the garage - sleeping?Gregory - taking a nap at the garageAdam - ruining Buzz's day (j/k), at the Council BuildingBuzz - lamenting the sudden turn of events at the diplomatic tableJimmy and Raider can expect to take pretty much the rest of the afternoon/evening with the engine if they take their time. Courier and Gregory, let me know if you want to do anything in the mean time otherwise I will consider you at full rest (either asleep of just hanging out).Buzz and Adam, once you guys are set I will fast forward to the evening and get the group back together.

Mr Fox Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Raider will work straight through the night to take it apart and then put it back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzkill Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Not much for Buzz to do. As far as he knew, whatever they did take out of that cockpit he pretty much convinced himself it was a recording, not any actual equipment. Obviously he didn't know about the engine until this little present he just got. So once the council starts demanding answers he'll go from there.

David 'Dr. Troll' Smith Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Courier - hanging out at the garage - sleeping?Yep. Possibly KB might stop by... but Doug's still down a lot of juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Depending on the time, Gregory will continue to sleep. Hopefully, the group will know to wake him up if they begin important discussions. After 6 hour, Greg will wake up...I'm assuming it will be around midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNinja Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I'm hoping that either Courier or Buzz have better than a 2 dice pool against a +1 difficulty, for our chats with the K-bec guys, round two. Because otherwise, we are so hosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzkill Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Well I have a decent amount of dice, though you wouldn't think it with the way I've been rolling. So far I haven't had much success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jameson (ST) Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 I would say that we've advanced about 2 hours since the engine got back to the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I thought we were much further along than that. Several hours at least.I've certainly been posting as if Raider is progressing into the engine dismantling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 not really, I'm trying to keep the two groups of PCs running at the same rate of time to avoid problems with Courier's link. As a result while I could easily skip past the stuff in the garage and sum it up you guys have to wait while Buzz and the others RP their interactions with the frenchies. Sorry.Edit:IN regards to the engine dissassembly you did state that you were taking detailed measurements and creating part drawings and assmeblies so that you could replicate it when/if you got the chance. This is part of my RL job so believe me even a nova level intellect will take many hours to complete this task, especially on an object so complex.Would it be hlepful to the group if I post a "virtual timestamp" on my posts so that when the group is apart you know what kind of time passage there is?

Buzzkill Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 OK, Buzz is one to negotiate, hopefully we'll be able to. We need some give and take here though. Buzz is using Natural Agitator now with a Willpower point to try and get them to listen to reason and come back to the negotiation table.My goals:1. Prevent a war2. Get some cooperation so we can find out what happened and who that squidy Nova was3. Give back the engine, but maybe get some future cooperation between us regarding the craft and future projects maybeCan you use the link to show what we saw at the crash site?

jameson (ST) Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Simple answer: yes you can send images, sounds, smells etc through a mental/telepathic link.More complex: Just like with Telepathy you can commmunicate any number of senses across the mental link but much like telepathy (or speech) you can transmit false sensory data as well. Basically you can lie with telepathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Looks like I better stop using the aberrant dice I have.I broke Buzz's speach into two rolls, one for the apology and one for the plea to remain rational and work with you guys.He nearly botched the first, netting 0 successes but proceeded to pull a Perry Mason and score a total of 10 successes (gross not net) on his subsequent speech.I'll try and locate my Trinity and Vampire dice maybe they will hate you guys less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
