The skirmish on Iagn's 2nd Skip has officially gone up to a class 12 dispute as the Rezan Senate has approved the deployment of five more mechs, three mark 2's and 2 mark 7's. This of course brings the total deployment on Iagn's 2nd Skip to a staggering-

>>745378
Thanks I appreciate it! I probably am.

I just wanted people to give due consideration to the notion without having to use the whole ME-verse.

and getting lost in a collapsing black hole or some such seemed so very kroganic

If the MC is decided to not be a robot, then I would instead vote for kobold.

>>745138
I like this, but can we maybe level it to 50%-25%-15%-10%? just seems a bit more plausible of ancestry that way.

>>745541
If we want plausibility, each percentage would have to correspond to a multiple of 1/2^n because of how many ancestors you usually have per generation.

50-25-12.5-12.5 works, as does 62.5-25-12.5 if we only have three races.

For whatever it's worth, I was covering my ass with the unassigned DNA thing. It was late and I did not do the math.

Greater Krogan levels would be nice to get secondary organs.

So it's
2 for kobold
2(?) for Krogan
1 for Sergal
1 for Scellor

And guy seems to be taking majority.

We need a tie breaker

>>745717
Rude.
There's three for robot, female.

>>745722
More like 2 for robot and 1 for notJaneway.

So what, we have a heavily cybornetic kobold with krogen like features or something?

Voting male Krogan.

>>745746
How do you even do that without the kobold exploding?

Also I vote for kobold girl

>>745717
4 for Krogan. Myself, Littlebeast, and 2 anons (one of which would also take a male sergal)

>>745762
I'm gonna say 3 since one of them seems to talk more about genetics than actually voting for krogan.

>>745775
I think it's cut and dry, since I have no issue with doing that particular split.

LB, want to shed some light?

>>745362
>>745747
These are the anons voting for male krogan. I was discussing genetics, but that was the post before I voted. The other anon is fine with either male sergal or male krogan.

Looks like four.

>>745546
I was just figuring the space badger stuff was several generations of chaos. Probably actually rounding from 15 5/8 badger-9 3/8 unidentified. (Or it could be more generations than that.) 12.5-12.5 works too though.

>>745806
? Um... Yes I was voting for Krogan hybrid? Was that even what you were asking or am I lost?

The time has come. You realized that you're a male Krogan

>>745810
I certainly took it that way, but apparently you can't discuss genetics and vote at the same time? Some people, man.


So here's my headcanon on how it all works.
Krogan can't interbreed with Space Badgers, although they can screw each other. one is a reptile, one is a mammal (from space).

However Krogan geneticists can splice in some badger DNA to an existing clan member. This mainly affects the senses and diet, and tends to cause minor weight loss and posture shift. Culturally, it's sort of like taking on a spirit animal. So far, the space badgers are the only ones who've been found worthy.

All of which is to say, I don't care what percentage is actually what. I'd be down with having one Rezan parent if it would make the storytelling easier.

Well looks like I finally got this damn thing working. All of y'all seen my profile. You know who I am. Don't ask me what a Krogan is, all I know is my grandmother diddled one way back before it got eaten by Junk-shrill.

Long story short, I grew up on Torvi's 3rd Folly, an asshole of a planet the R.I.R claimed just so they could stick it to the Hegemony, and then used it as a garbage dump. I'm captain of a ship, or will be once I get this thing working, and I got one crewmate, an mechanic that knows her way around...stuff I don't know what she calls it.

It was my crew mate that decided I needed to set up an orbIP account, which I still personally find pointless, me and social media don't mesh too good.


"Hey Ty, if you're done, can you give me a hand?"

"Yeah yeah. Hey do you know what a space badger is?"

You know what, I think Rocket's having a tough day. Maybe I should give her some space...several miles of space.

Maybe we should go get her a practical toy in town.
thinking some kind of VI-interface with integrated diagnostics and software setups.

Pros- it'd make future checkups easier, and be something Rocket could tinker around with. It'd probably be cheaper than another crew member, while still improving the ship atmosphere.

Cons: Unless we get a plug and play model for our current craft, we'd have to solve our current problems to use it.

Yeah no, that's Mark 1 CDS armor. Those things have a battery that can last decades without needing replacement. What does is the visual input. The armor doesn't have that because different races, different ways of seeing shit, so they leave it open for whoever to attach something that fits the user best. Pan built his own optics, some of the best too. But it runs on a separate power source and Pan forgets to take it when he's off his meds.

"YAAAAAAAAAH! EAT BOLT FUCKAZ!"

I could give him his meds but uh...I don't know where he puts em. So while Pan burns through his ammo what do you guys think? Get Rocket's toy, or get Pan's pills? Either way I gotta kill time till Rocket cools off.

Your buddy can already smell the candy, so it's probably nearby. Try to locate the VI-rack on the way out, so you can make Pan an offer, and then get gone. But we're not robbing a Blackout type, whatever the circumstances.

"You sure you didn't find it? You said you smelled it."

"no"

Secure pills, stow fuzzball somewhere.

Consider your approach:
Overtly gifting the pills to Pan
Covertly sticking them in a drink or something

"Okay okay calm down! Look, I don't want your eyes, I don't want your stash, I don't want this goblin thing! I just want a module at fair price. You can have it all back if you want! I just want out of this place."

There's a greasy, crusty mongrel of a techie in the picture.

If you didn't come back with the module, she'd probably chew you out, and Rocket's red glare is not for the faint of heart.
But if Pan blasted you, and you didn't come back at all... she might cry.

And that just isn't right.

Redundancy is good. People who are cross-trained so you have a navigator that can do piloting and a pilot that can do navigation for instance.

Oh there's a bunch we need, but most aren't super important till we got ourselves set. There's captain, but that's me obviously.

Uh, there's pilot, but I can do that. I just need a little more practice, but until then I think it could be best we had a full time pilot.

And then there's uh...gunnery officer. This ship only has one gun, but I hope that changes, and we'll need someone that knows how to keep that this firing in a fight.

Engineer to engineer things, though Rocket can do that. And a Mechanic to mechanic things. Rocket is also good at that, but I think she should only do one.

Security. I'm plenty tough but I'm gonna need some extra muscle for the jobs I got lined up.

That's about it. I can get a quartermaster to keep track of all our shit, or a Sensor and comms officer to sense stuff and talk to stuff respectively. Ooh and a cook. I got a huge stash of ration bars but I'm sure someone out there knows how to make them not taste like freeze dried ass.

Yeah, I should get people that are good at multiple things. What with the ship's limited size and stuff. Lucky for me, there's no shortage of skilled individuals looking to get off this shitpile of a planet. And luckier for me I got a few lined up. I just hope enough of them showed up today since the actual interviews was supposed to be next week, but ah...I don't think I got that long.

uhh, what are those guys behind you doing?
anyway, first find someone to help get this thing uhhh, flyable. pilot is kinda useless if it can't fly.

An engineer would be credit to team.

ideally, someone that seems like they'd get along with Rocket.
Maybe with a smattering of weapons arrays?

The guy even gave me a list of people I can interview. I guess I should get started.

Lessee first on the list says she ran freight for a while, so has piloting experience and plenty of hands on engineering knowledge. Fired for on the job, what's this say? "On-site intoxication, indecency, and arson?" Wha?

Next is from the 12th Alrian's March Academy, excelling in ship repairs and maintenance while serving his mandatory 10 years of military service. Sounds good. Dishonorably discharged. Not so good.

Third one is an Avar. Don't see many of those outside Republic Space. Graduate with honors from Avana's Colony Outreach and Defense Program, experienced both as a fighter pilot, and a gunnery officer. Outstanding marks in ad-hoc repair. Left for reasons unknown. So far she sounds the most qualified. Wonder why she left.

Four, Five and Six, uh...I can't really tell what they are. Hang on. Lemme just try something here and-

Four Five and Six candidates are for you to decide. What roles will they fill? What are they? What sordid past lead them to picking up a job with a no-name captain on a no-name planet?

#4 There's that kid that used to make all the Tridgames finals, and would place in 2-3 events. Delmont- Delmar- or somthin'?
Anyway, he had to quit when they found some unlicensed implants in his dome. Been slumming it ever since.

Expect top notch gunnery skills, moderate repair and modding specs, and the geek physique and social graces only a trid jockey can provide. Probably not a good cook.

Why not Zoidberg? resurrect the rejected protag choices for possible candidates?

And done!

There's this kid...Del...Dil...Delmart? I'm gonna go with Delmart. Delmart here that used to make all the Tridgames finals, but he had to quit when they found some unlicensed implants in his dome. Been slumming it ever since.

I know what it takes to top out in the tridgames. I bet he's got top notch gunnery skills, moderate repair and modding specs, and the geek physique and social graces only a trid jockey can provide. Probably not a good cook.

Then there's this synth here. Gobbo pleasure model, reprgrammed I dunno how many times. Designation MAKO-VII. Don't know what MAKO means. Something in Hegem Unity I don't understand. Ironic since it's original manufacture is Imperial. Reinstalled with a Hegemony captain who is in a committed relationship to caffeine. The specialty specs are corrupted though, so I dunno what she's good at.

Then there's this number. Seela K'rin. I think she and Rocket were separated at birth, I'm seeing double. Shame I can't tell what she's good at since her application spec is all futzed. If the pic is anything to go on, I think she may have been a graduate at the Imperial Academy. Fancy.

Last chance to edit these options

>>820615
Refreshing the tab, you see the profiles were not fully loaded.
MAKO-VII is currently programmed for handling comms, medical duties and even ship navigation. Sounds like looking after her stim-addled captain was a full time job. And the profile did state she was a pleasure bot model... it's understandable if she doesn't emphasise that in her list of skills.

Seela: Security (paraphrased from "Point me at someone and I'll beat 'em til they cry.") A mean cook, too. I think the emphasis is on mean.

Good news all around. Synths aren't expensive hires, and Delmart will probably jump at the chance to have a pleasure-bot onboard.

Seela looks like a hardass, but maybe there's some hidden depths.

Oh yeah, Seela's a hardline security officer. And a mean cook. Great, that's exactly what a crew needs to stay in good morale. Still nothing from Delmart, or MAKO, but I guess I can figure that out when talking to them.

"Hello!"

"Holy shi-oh. You're...you're the Avar right?"

"Yepper that's me, only Avar you'll see this 'side of the rim! Name's Bee. Short for Bee'tchiak'rrr. Understandable most don't wanna use the full one. How do ya?"

"Uh...fine?"

"Great! So what's this I hear about you needing a crew? Sounds dandy!"

It is only now, upon seeing my second Avar, that I realize they have beaks. I thought the one in the second panel had a colorful nose and a nonplussed expression... for about a year now.

Driving intoxicated is a big no-no. A shame, the rest was mostly acceptable.

That depends on how well she drives drunk. Has she had any accidents while on the sauce?

There's a difference between being completely wasted and just having a nice buzz. A person in good health can totally manage a large vessel with a healthy buzz.

What's her poison of choice, and how much does she go through in a week?

We're not exactly buying the best and brightest anyway.

If you want to be paid in sauce, and show some skin, fine, but if you make a habit of shitting yourself or set anything ablaze, you'll be out an airlock so fast it'll make your head spin. Before it explodes. Because airlock.

"Why did you climb on the table for that?"

Seems legit.

Proves she knows her psychology. Well, I think they'll all do for crew but let's ask Seela about her combat prowess. Specifically how it applies to bar brawls.

Hire the little droid, and make peace with the nagging certainty you're going to have relations with it, sooner or later.

"Are you desperate to get a crew together? That was some of the worst professionalism I've ever seen and you're still letting them on?"

the reason everyone else here got involved, the money.

"Because when it comes to Krogan, one of two things happens to our enemies: they run like rabbits or die like deer. Allow me to demonstrate."

Use your daily power - CHARGE!

Because they've been eyeing that uniform too. Also, aren't you curious how this tank handles himself in a barfight?

Some of that was for your benefit too, K'rin. Can you get a rowdy group like this focused, fed, and shipshape in time for it to matter? Wouldn't you like to find out?

"Hoo, stirred up the whole nest!"

"Probably because you ripped up the table and swung it at them!"

"You say that like it's a bad thing!"

There are two schools of thought for how big a brawl should get:

1. Intimate and centered, so as to not attract undue attention. Win and get out.

2.ENORMOUS, so that the particulars of who provoked when are lost in a haze of property damage, arrests, and sudden rivalries renewed. Get out of dodge before the lockdown, and no one's following you for DAYS.

I bet you're not the only Spacefarer with some simmering tensions, they just need a little shove in the right direction...

Considering he initiated the fight by SWINGING A TABLE AROUND... I’m thinking the time for option one has passed. So yeah, if everyone else isn’t already triggered by this, do something to rile them up.

>>848661
And the "classic" way of doing this is kicking an opponent into their table, so that their drinks may be knocked, etc. This will get them into the brawl, although who they will attack is a coin flip.

I think it's number two by a league and a half. I'm startin' to think I just set off a powderkeg of something much bigger. This ain't a barfight no more. It's a full on gang war!

"Well great job "boss", got a plan before Security impounds the ship and puts us in lockup?"

"I'm thinkin."

"Why does that surprise me?"

Fight your way to the back door of the bar and see if the space cops have arrived yet.

Radio rocket, and see if one of our new hires can't fit one of our gravcycles with a rope/net. Send it out inside the station, then ride it to escape Tarzan-style.

Yes, riding an unmanned vehicle through a security checkpoint is technically illegal (as hell), but they've got a gang war to worry about.

SECTOR 2 IS NOW IN FULL LOCK DOWN. ALL CITIZENS RETURN TO THEIR HOMES.

"I uh...think that won't be an option."

"Dammit Ty. I just finished putting the cycles together, and you wanna break em?"

"Well I won't break them. Probably."

"You will have to ditch them."

"Why?"

"Because I know you're planning on running a checkpoint, and I know they're going to tag the cycle. We don't need them coming to the dock since I'm still fixing the ship. You know. The one you busted?"

Oh crap right.

Look, the gravcycles are expensive, and not to be trifled with.

Also expensive is legal fees, and being contained while our useless crew sits on their extremities. Assuming we don't die while that happens.

"It'll be fine."

"How are we going to even lose this thing anyway? Something like this is gonna be very hard to miss, even in this town."

If we ditch the thing mid-air, its speed should carry it far away enough that the explosion throws them off our tail.

It's not THAT outlandish.

Someone left in a hurry, crashed into a support, collapsed subdeck D5 near the spaceport, and they ordered an excavator team.

This is the captain of the ARNV Rollon, you are harboring a criminal of the Hegemony. Lower your shields and prepare to be boarded or be destroyed.

Stall while the warp drive spools up or whatever it needs to do. Counter-bluff that well, they should lower their shields and prepare to be boarded too! It's only fair, they shot first.

I'm a little lukewarm on this update, due to him having a headstem rather than just being solidly grafted to his shoulders seems wrong thematically. Even a hybrid should be a little more solid.

As illustrated, a headbump starts more at the waist than the neck, and is... rather effective, even on larger opponents. Rant over.
