Day 1
11th March 2189
11:20 Earth Central European Time
Titan Upper Atmosphere

The 'fasten seat belt' sign lights up and Ling Li's stern voice comes over the intercom, 'We're entering Titan's atmosphere it's going to get a bit rocky'. The passengers begin to feel the first tremors of turbulence. Anyone looking out of the windows sees only dense, orange clouds.

After a few minutes of the shuttle bucking and shaking in a most unsettling manner, Li's voice comes back on, 'We’ve dipped into the troposphere, you might be able to see a bit of the surface out the windows now.'

Outside the clouds thin out somewhat, although the sky maintains its orange hue. The ground below begins to become more visible - miles and miles of windswept dunes of methane snow, broken by knife-like volcanic ridges of icy stone, open cryovolcanic craters belching 'lava flows' of liquid water, ammonia, and methane that freeze into fantastic shapes as they pour down the slopes towards Ligeia Mare, Titan’s largest sea of liquid methane.

OOC,Everyone roll a hard (half) Spot Hidden to make out the colony - all Spot Hidden rolls in Titan's atmosphere (outside the base) are hard due to the thick hazy atmosphere

Holding on tightly, Kiara is too absorbed in the strange landscape of Titan to notice the buildings half-hidden by the atmosphere.

OOC:   I passed, but not a hard pass. I still get to tick the skill?

OOC,Spot Hidden 50 [dice]0[/dice]

Jojo holds himself steady as the ship rocks. He looks outside at the pilot's announcement but he can't quite make out anything through the haze.

Samantha can't quite see the colony due to Titan's hazy atmosphere.

OOC,Spot Hidden roll (55 / 2 = 27.5% skill) to see the colony: [dice]0[/dice]

Virgil grimaces as he looks out at the hideous landscape; he’s never seen anywhere so inhospitable. He can just make out the man made shapes of the buildings below; darker ochre shadows in the swirling mass of sulphur.

Spot hidden,50 [dice]0[/dice]

Through the orange haze some of the passengers get a glimpse of Benedict’s Rest as it comes over the horizon, Isabella describes it to the others and brings up a map on the shuttle viewscreen. It is a squat collection of dark gray prefabricated buildings clustered on the icy shores of the lake. Huge storage silos tower over the colony and miles of pipeline spread out like the tentacles of some vast octopus, extending over the sluggish, yellow-tinted waves, linking subsidiary pumping stations to the central complex.



The shuttle glides in to land on a brightly-lit pad, connecting with a heavy thump as the magnetic landing gear engages. With an almost deafening squeal of hydraulics, the entire landing pad begins to sink into the ground, two halves of a protective dome rising up to shield the pad and shuttle from the elements. With the meeting of the two halves of the dome, the 'fasten seat belt' sign goes dark. There is a loud gush of air as the atmospheric processors kick in. After a minute or so the shuttle door opens with a soft hiss.

Although the landing pad airlock has expelled the freezing atmospheric gases and replaced them with oxygenated nitrogen, there is a distinct smell, like a mixture of engine oil and alcohol from the residual hydrocarbons.

A mobile staircase has already been wheeled into place for the passengers. A young man, sandy-haired, fresh-faced, and dressed in the shortsleeved uniform coveralls of the colonial security division, is standing at the bottom of the staircase to meet them, a small, bus-like vehicle parked behind him.

OOC,Spot Hidden(60%) Hard Roll (30%): [dice]0[/dice]

Nicole catches a glimpse of the facility during the approach, she tenses up as the shuttle touches down on the pad - she enjoys flights apart from the landings.

Nonetheless the Colonial Marshal is glad to be on the ground and with a roof over their heads. She unfastens her seatbelt and gets ready to leave the shuttle, waiting to follow some of the corporate team - Virgil in particular. There seems no point in antagonising anyone unnecessarily. Hopefully this trip will prove to be a waste of time.

The weight of her holstered handgun is always reassuring though, even in 0.14g.

Sam easily hoists her heavy toolkit, though she's muscular enough that she could have done it even in Earth normal gravity, and steps off the shuttle, heading for the vehicle. The gravity here is slightly lower than on Luna, where she worked for a year once, so it's not too difficult to adjust.

As the seat belt light goes out, Jojo unclicks and rises to exit. He doesn't like the low gravity. He'll have to address that right away.

"Let's go." Jojo grabs his dufflebag and heads down the staircase, carefully holding on to the railing as he goes.

Virgil Steinmann carries a small grip and a briefcase. He steps towards the stairs in a massive leap, bumping his head on the door head. “First time in low gravity.” He mutters, collects himself and proceeds more cautiously.

Nicole retrieves her own bag and follows the others out of the shuttle.

Ling Li emerges from the cockpit and silently joins the others. Stepping out of the shuttle the investigators feel the weak pull of Titan's 0.14 g gravity on their bodies, very different from Earth but pretty similar to that on Ganymede and enough at least to give a sense of up and down compared to the weightlessness of their flight. Their weighted clothing provides some resistance to their movements and the heavy boots keep their feet on the ground.

'Welcome to Titan' says the security officer, who introduces himself as Officer Robert Tyson. 'Fortunately we don't have to worry about all that xenoprotection rigmarole you get on Mars, nothing terrestrial could survive in this atmosphere.' He explains that he has been asked to show the investigators to the quarters that they’ll use for their stay at Benedict’s Rest, and that it’s been anticipated that they’ll want to refresh themselves after their long flight and that they are encouraged to shower and take a nap if they feel so inclined.

He notes that one 'day' on Titan (one revolution of Saturn since it is tidally locked) is the equivalent of almost sixteen Earth days and that light levels actually increase at twilight. Since the Titan day length is so incompatible with human biology the colony bases its day-night cycle on Berlin time; by his watch, it’s currently 11.30 in the morning.

Gesturing to the bus, he asks the passengers to board so he can take them to their quarters in the administrative building.

"Thanks," says Sam, boarding the vehicle. "Glad to hear it. I remember Martian quarantine - not fondly. At least it gave me time to get some reading done."

Unused to the gravity, Kiara almost stumbles as she collects her kit (various items of scientific equipment in carry cases and hold-alls).

Staggering towards the bus like some two-legged packhorse (more out of awkwardness than weight due to the gravity), she sighs in annoyance, realising that she hasn’t set her watch to local time. Carefully setting down some carry cases she proceeds to remedy this before picking them up again.

Eventually however she boards the bus, waving off any offers of help although blushing with embarrassment.

"So when does it get dark?" Jojo asks with a confused look. He boards the bus and sets his duffel down and waits to be shown to his quarters. There's work to be done after all.

Virgil checks his watch; it is, of course, correct to the second. He moves swiftly to the bus, pretending not to notice the antics of the struggling scientist, and takes a seat at the back.

Tyson looks embarrassed at Jojo's question, 'Sorry, I probably wasn't very clear, although we get illumination from the Sun and from Saturn, it's basically always pretty dark due to the thick atmosphere, it ranges from an orangey smoggy day to darkness but you'll always need lights outside of the colony building. We don't simulate a day night cycle within the colony because we work twenty four seven.'

Officer Tyson drives the investigators down a long hallway connecting the landing bay to the rest of the colony. Branching tunnels are labeled with their destinations: the penal sector, contract miner housing, maintenance sector, atmospheric scrubbing plant, administrative centre, security centre, maglev launch, and others.

Shooting up and down the corridors are self-propelled robotic manipulators, essentially arms on wheels, 'CENTRAL's ARMs' says Tyson.



As they drive down the tunnel the investigators feel a slight tremor and the lights flicker for a few seconds before going out for a moment, a generator kicks in and soft green emergency lighting bathes the corridor for a few minutes until the power comes back on. 'Cryovulcanism' says Tyson, 'nothing to worry about'.

OOC,Kiara, Samantha, and JoJo will know cryovolcanism is when water, ammonia, or methane is melted somehow, such as tectonic activity, and erupts from under the crust like a volcano, then refreezing. Anyone else can roll a Know roll or ask one of the others

Turning down the tunnel to the administrative centre, they soon arrive at a suite of apartments for visiting officials. Upon arrival, Tyson distributes old fashioned magnetic 'visitor pass' ID cards to the investigators, which will be needed to enter various areas; these passes are currently registered as 'all-access,' and he tells them they can go anywhere in the colony with them.

Upon arriving at the suite of apartments reserved for visiting officials, the investigators are divided between two identical foursleeper apartments; each consists of four bedrooms containing a single twin bed, nightstand, desk and chair, connected to a common area with a couch, wall-mounted television, table, and four folding chairs. A bathroom consists of a sink, towel rack, toilet, and shower stall. Most surfaces are unadorned light gray plastic, with the bedding, towels and couch cushions being cheap cotton and darker gray. The metallic bulkheads and drab grey plastic fittings make the white synthetic furnishings of the shuttle look positively cheery.

Every room has a red fish-eye lens camera and an intercom to allow communication with the colony CENTRAL computer system.

OOC,Any questions for Tyson before you retire to your rooms?

During the journey from the bus, through the tunnel and into the living quarters, Kiara looks around with great interest, her scientific curiosity piqued by the obvious size and efficiency of the operation.

Spot hidden 37% fail,[dice]0[/dice]

However, she sees nothing out of the ordinary.

"Nice to see the generators kicking in so quickly; how frequent are the eruptions?" she asks as they trundle along.

When they arrive at the living quarters, she peers into the comms lense, giving it a tap.

"How do you know when this is on? I don't like the idea of being watched while I'm dressing."

Tyson looks a bit nervous when asked about the cryovolcanic eruptions and the aftershocks, 'Oh, not very often'.

Isabella laughs at Kiara's squeamishness around the CENTRAL computer. 'Every room and corridor in the colony will have these cameras, and other sensors, CENTRAL uses them to monitor the base, not you. It has protocols that prevent anyone else gaining access to the feeds, don't worry'. She chuckles to herself and addresses the red lens, 'Hello CENTRAL, how are you today?'

A disembodied voice emanates from somewhere in the room, it is difficult to localise, 'Hello Systems Engineer Garcia, welcome to Barnard's Rest. I am operating at one hundred percent efficiency, thank you for asking.' The voice is female, low and smooth, but with clear computer modulation and devoid of any emotion.

'It's hard not to address the lens when you're talking to CENTRAL' she says. 'We call the lenses the 'eyes' - but the microphones are probably elsewhere in the room. CENTRAL computers are designed not to seem human. After the disaster with synthetics it was decided not to have the new CENTRAL intelligences get anywhere near the uncanny valley. The designers thought that would stop people worrying they had secret agendas. You're better off thinking of it like a very efficient machine, it's clever, but it doesn't have any real personality of its own.'

"That's good to know," says Sam. "Synths have always creeped me out."

Nicole sits quietly on bus, watching through the window in order to get her bearings. You always need to remember the way back out - just in case.

The tremor is disturbing, but she's heard of cryovulcanism before and Tyson didn't seem too worried - not until Kiara's question anyway.

Travelling light herself, with just a small holdall and the helmet for her suit, she, she offers to help Kiara with her bulky luggage when they arrive at the living quarters. "Want a hand?"

Nicole looks at the CENTRAL lens with suspicion. Yes, definitely Creepy

Knowledge 75% - Pass(Just),[dice]0[/dice]

Psychology 60% - Hard Pass,How worried is Tyson about the cryovulcanism? [dice]1[/dice]

Smiling somewhat shyly, Kiara gratefully accepts the Marshall's aid.

She too notices Tyson's nervousness and resolves to ask CENTRAL about this phenomenon later.

Jojo nods curtly to Tyson and turns to enter his room before stopping.
"Are the meals served at a certain time?" He says as he opens up the alarm function on his datapad.

Tyson looks a bit disconcerted by Jojo's question, 'Um, I'm not sure, I think you can get meals in the refectory or one of the restaurants on the base. Just show your pass card.'

Virgil makes a mental note to look up cryovolcanism later but he frowns as he hears the nervousness in Tyson’s voice. “Is like a meeting to get up to date with thhear tremors; they went mentioned on the colony’s last report.”

'Uh, you'd have to discuss that with Administrator Kingsley' says Tyson to Virgil.

"Were the miners able to determine anything about the issues with the pumps?" asks Sam.

'I don't really know anything about the pumps' says Tyson. 'Security is my thing.'

Tyson says 'If there's nothing else I'll leave you. When you want to arrange a meeting with Administrator Kingsley just use CENTRAL to call his secretary. Mr Kingsley is keen to meet with you before you start your enquiries.'

OOC,Unless you guys want to ask Tyson anything else you can settle in to your quarters, have a nap, get something to eat, go exploring, arrange to see Kingsley etc

Once alone, Kiara unpacks her stuff, stowing her equipment carefully.

“Hey CENTRAL,” she says conversationally, “when did you pick up the last cryovolcanic tremor?”

OOC,Happy to meet the boss.

CENTRAL's calm feminine voice floats around the room 'Hello Science Officer Khan, welcome to Barnard's Rest. The last significant episode of seismic activity in the region of Barnard's Rest occured on the 11th March at 11.40am. I have insufficient information to determine whether this was cryovolcanic in origin.'

Virgil stifles his disapproval at addressing a machine,
“Central, arrange a meeting with Administrator Kingsley within the hour.” He unpacks and sits on the floor to meditate.

Jojo unpacks his duffel and sits on the edge of his bunk. He's not really tired and doesn't feel like taking a nap.

"Central. Please notify me when a meeting is scheduled with Administrator Kingsley by any of the other passengers."

“I’d like data on the frequency and severity of all tremors for the last twelve months please.”

Assuming CENTRAL can wirelessly send data to Kiara’s device (I guess she has a tablet or pad of some kind).

OOC,Assume everyone has acces to a datapad or similar. It can wirelessly access the data network hosted by CENTRAL

Kiara,Roll Science (Planetary) to interpret the data

Sam unpacks her things in her quarters if there's enough time before the meeting.

Science (planetary) 65% extreme success,[dice]0[/dice]

Kiara scrolls through the data as if it were a child’s reading primer. Clearly she has inherited some of her family’s brilliance!

Computer use 65% hard pass,[dice]0[/dice]

Kiara gives the necessary requests to CENTRAL.

Kiara frowns, noting how the epicentre if the tremors seem far removed from the pumping stations, thus discounting her theory that the increase is due to the machinery.

“CENTRAL, please send me a log of any company activity and sensor logs around these co-ordinates,” she says, giving the co-ordinates of the epicentre.

CENTRAL does not respond.

OOC,In case it becomes relevant later I'm going to assume that Virgil, Moses, Jojo, and Isabella are in one suite and Kiara, Nicole, Li, and Sam are in the other

Draped across a grey couch in the communal area of her suite Isabella addresses the computer, 'CENTRAL, can you arrange a meeting for us all with Administrator Kingsley?'

'Systems Engineer Garcia, I have confirmed a meeting with Administrator Kingsley in his office on the 11th March at 12.15pm' replies CENTRAL, repeating this to all the other investigators in the other rooms.

OOC,Unless there's anything else anyone would like to do I'll look to move on to the meeting with Kingsley

Security Officer Tyson arrives at 12.10pm to escort the team to the top floor of the administrative complex. Everyone goes except for Ling Li who says she's only here to fly the shuttle.

They enter a large officer foyer where a middle aged woman sits behind a desk, she is in her early forties and has brown hair lightly streaked with grey and cut into a fashionable bob. Her nameplate reads 'Stacy Hennecker'. 'Hi Stacy, can you let Kingsley know the investigation team are here for their meeting.'

She smiles and presses an intercom button on her desk and then shakes her head and presses another. “I’m not used to him being in the new office yet,” she says by way of apology. A gruff voice comes over the intercom indicating he will be two minutes.

As the investigators wait Tyson sits on the edge of the desk and starts talking to Stacy in hushed tones.

Jojo sits patiently waiting for Administrator Kingsley.

Fidgeting slightly, Kiara also waits. She is unable to make out what Tyson and Stacy are whispering about.

OOC,Can she try to eavesdrop on Tyson and Stacy? If so... Listen 20% [dice]0[/dice]

Initially unable to hear, Nicole edges a little closer to the desk, attempting to overhear what Tyson and Stacy are saying.

Listen,Listen (45%) Roll: [dice]0[/dice] Pushing the roll by edging a bit closer - suggested consequence: they'll notice her being nosy if I fail? Listen (45%) or Stealth (40%)? : [dice]1[/dice]

Sam can't hear a thing.

OOC,Listen roll (20% base skill) to overhear the conversation: [dice]0[/dice]

OOC,Listen 35 [dice]0[/dice]

Deep in thought, Jojo doesn't seem to notice anyone around him or what they are doing.

Virgil concentrates on the hushed tones,

listen,50 [dice]0[/dice]

And raises his eyebrows.

She should probably feel guilty for snooping on private conversations, but it's Nicole's job to be nosy so she stores away the details without giving it a second thought.

'Mr Kingsley will see you now.' Rather than a corporate business suite Stacy shows the investigators into a small conference room that has been hastily refitted to serve as a temporary office. Administrator James Kingsley greets them warmly at the door, ushering them inside as he asks Tyson to wait in the foyer. Kingsley is a heavyset, bearded man with red hair shot through with gray (the baseball cap he’s wearing hides his receding hairline), wearing a Hawaiian shirt and khaki trousers. He pours himself a tumbler of whiskey from a drinks cabinet shoved into one corner of the room and offers the same to the investigators before sitting down at his desk. 'It’s the good stuff, from Earth. Not watered down shit like you’d get on some of the other colonies out there.'

He continues in his low, gruff voice, 'As you may have noticed, I don’t waste a lot of time on protocol. I’m interested in results, just like you are. I get it – Corporate sent you down here because we had a low month. But the fact is, a low month here is just as good as a high month on most of the other colonies. We all know that Benedict’s Rest is one of the top producing mining sites operated by Richter Dynamics, and the miners here have the bonus cheques in their pockets to prove it. And it’s been that way since I took over as administrator two years ago. So, since I know you probably can’t wait to get off this windy iceball, what do you need from me to get you back in your offices as quickly as possible?'

"Thank you, Mr. Kingsley," says Sam, appreciating his relaxed attitude, not to mention the free whiskey, which she is pleased to sample. "We'll want to talk to whoever's in charge of the pumps, and to take a look at them ourselves."

Puzzled by CENTRAL’s lack of response to her question about the epicentre of the tremors, Kiara politely declines any alcohol, but accepts a glass of water if one is offered. She raises her hand, like a nervous new kid in class.

“I’d also like to inspect the pumps if I may. Oh, and have you any lab facilities I can make use of? And maybe an ARM? I’d like to take some methane samples and scrapes from internal pipe linings to test for impurities.”

'Feel free to visit the pumping stations, they can be accessed via the maglev railway. Our Chief Engineer is Arnold White, you'll either find him in the engineering facility in the maintenance sector or out on the pumping stations. This is a mining colony so we don't exactly have any laboratory facilities, if you talk to Chief White he can tell you what is feasible in the engineering centre, there's also our rather modest medical centre.' Administrator Kingsley opens his arms and smiles effusively, 'Of course you have full access to CENTRAL, as long as it will not interfere with station operations CENTRAL will be able to give you access to an ARM, but you will need to clear anything going into the pipeline with Chief White.'

"Thank you," says Sam. "The engineering facility will be my first stop, and then the pumping station."

Virgil declines to even decline a tumbler of whiskey; he doesn’t drink alcohol, it’s poisonous. He’s also not impressed by the slovenly lack of protocol shown by the administrator but as the man seems governed by Virgil’s own directive, that of profit, he doesn’t comment. Instead he looks around the makeshift office.
“Vigil Steinman. It looks like you’ve had to decamp from your usual office, Adiministrator Kingsley, what happened?”

Psychology,65[dice]0[/dice]

Virgil analyses Kingsley’s answer carefully for deception. The office setup is unusual and the placement of a new receptionist is also strange. It looks like it was all done just for this meeting.

Kingsley looks amused, 'Ah, you noticed that, nothing to worry about, minor atmospheric leak, maintenance will have it sorted in no time.'

OOC,In 7th edition difficulty is set by the opposing skill for social skills/psychology, so you'll need a hard success to read Kingsley, you could spend luck but I can't see how you could push it

Kiara makes a mental note to ask the Chief for a spare room in which to set up a makeshift lab.

Shaking her head, Nicole declines the drink with a polite smile.

She bides her time, watching proceedings for now. She'll speak up once the administrator thinks the meeting is coming to an end.

For now, she also studies Kingsley's response to Virgil's question, but as far as she can tell his amusement is genuine.

Psychology(60%) - FAIL,Psychology(60%) roll: [dice]0[/dice] I didn't click on the OOC box in the last post, just in case.

Jojo ignores the offer of a drink.
"I'm going to need to see the file for Dr. Henry Holzer's death and access to the base's medical files. I will be conducting my investigation from the medical centre in case anyone needs me."

Kingsley shrugs, 'Dr Johnson, of course, of course, you will be keen to see your new clinic. And to look into poor Dr Holzer's death, although there's nothing suspicious to be discovered there I can assure you!'

His expression changes to one of sadness, 'Ah Dr Holzer, I liked him, he was a good man, but some people just don’t take well to life past the Asteroid Belt. They get out here and something goes screwy – heart gets bad, bowels act up, lose a few screws up top too. I’ve seen it plenty of times.'

He leans back on his seat, clearly getting into the flow of his little tirade, 'And you know, a lot of these colony doctors – they’re a lot like old Western doctors or ship’s doctors. Running from a malpractice lawsuit or something like that. Maybe he got wind something like that was catching up to him.'

Moses pipes up from the back of the room, 'So what's your explanation for the drop in productivity?' and Isabella interjects, 'Any evidence there's a problem with the control software?'

Kingsley sighs as if he is talking to small children,
'The problems are...multifactorial. Staffing, issues with the energy transmission, unexpected cryovolcanic activity. No single thing, nothing simple you can just fix, but merely a temporary aberration all the same, a confluence of mishaps, but we are now back on track. It does not require all this excitement' he says gesturing to the investigators.

OOC,As I was saying in my other spoiler, you'll need a hard (i.e. half your skill) Psychology success to evaluate Kingsley, anyone who hasn't rolled can try

Psychology 10% (5% hard),[dice]0[/dice]

Kiara nods; Kingsley seems like a pretty decent guy and what he’s saying is reasonable.

Sam wouldn't want to play poker with Kingsley; she can't read him.

OOC,Psychology roll (10 / 2 = 5% base skill) about [b]Kingsley[/b]: [dice]0[/dice]

“Would you mind telling us in your own words how Dr Holzer died?” Virgil asks the administrator. “It’s useful to have a real person’s point of view as well as the official report.”

'Ah, Mr Steinmann, I'm afraid I can't tell you any more than is in the official record' says Kingsley with an expression of disappointment. 'Perhaps you could talk to Sergeant Montrose or Nurse Richards about what they found.'

Psychology,Psychology 50 [dice]0[/dice]

Jojo barely looks up as Administrator Kingsley offers his explanations. He'd much rather go over the reports and the actual evidence than listen to a nonprofessional opine about what might be going on.

"Very well then. I will be off to see the clinic. I do hope that it isn't too primitive."

Kingsley gives another broad smile, 'Primitive is as primitive does Doctor. Now, is there anything else you'd like to know before we call this meeting to a close?'

OOC,Anymore questions for Kingsley? I take it that the doctor wants to go to the medical bay, Sam and Kiara to engineering and then the pumps, what about Virgil and Nicole?

"Wait Doctor Johnson, I will be coming with you."

Nicole turns to Administrator Kingsley, smiles warmly and offers a handshake, "Nicole Favre, Colonial Marshall."

Charm,Charm(60%): [dice]0[/dice] :roll:

"I just need to confirm that there are no suspicious circumstances around Doctor Holzer's death that warrant further investigation. It is just a formality I would imagine.

"Nurse Richards discovered the Doctor's body?"

Kingsley frowns and just looks at Nicole's hand without taking it. 'As I said, I do not know the details, I am a very busy man, I suggest you read the official report or talk to Sergeant Montrose or Nurse Richards about what they found.'

Unperturbed, Nicole lowers her hand, "I understand - there is no rest for the wicked, yes? Then I shall delay you no longer Mr. Kingsley."

She turns to follow Jojo, "Shall we go Doctor?"

"Thank you for your time, Mr. Kingsley," says Sam, "and for that fine whiskey. We'd better get started."

OOC,Yes, that's my plan.

Kiara quietly sidles up to Sam, signalling her readiness to continue on to engineering.

“Seems like a nice guy,” she mutters.

“I assume I can get all details about recent events and the colony’s activities from CENTRAL? And I assume I have full access to the highest levels as regards security? Is this correct? If so, I can leave you to your business.” Says Virgil.

She turns to follow Jojo, "Shall we go Doctor?"

Jojo seems to notice Nicole as he hears his name.

"Hmmm? Oh, yes, let's go."

With that, he leaves the room and goes to the medical clinic.

While Virgil finishes talking to Kingsley, Nicole and Jojo leave the meeting followed by Kiara and Sam. They find Officer Tyson waiting for them. 'I can take you wherever you want to go, it'll be quicker in the bus.'

Moses says he will accompany Kiara and Sam to the engineering facility while Isabella will return to the residential suite to start examining CENTRAL's error logs.

OOC,I will create new threads in the next day or so for engineering and medical,we'll see where Virgil wants to go

Credit rating,20% [dice]0[/dice] [dice]1[/dice] I'm afraid I don't know how advantages work

ooc,Virgil will head to the medic bay; he can get an engineering report later.

Kingsley looks Virgil up and down, a disapproving expression on his face. 'I'm afraid not all of our records are available through CENTRAL, some things are still stored offline, the colony financial records for instance. If you would like to see them I'm sure that our accounts department could have them ready for you by tomorrow, perhaps if you come back around 10am, yes, they should be ready by then.'

He gives a wide somewhat sickening smile, 'Gentlemen, ladies, I think that concludes our meeting, I really have a lot to do, I hope your investigations are fruitful...and quick '
