20. En Route to Saturn

[dakota]

McKenna's eyes shifted to meet Jessica's, and a brow arched curiously at the nurse comment, then scoffed," Like Tawfeek would let that happen."

[kurff]

"If I kill it it'll leave a mess and you did say they are diseases waiting to happen...Doctor." he nods at Jessica, So far far more interesting than planned. I was hoping for a quick inspection of the systems and to do an inventory of parts while a nice soccer game was playing. Your welcome to join me if you want." he offered.

[dakota]

"Mengsk, do you want to be the next vermin that needs spacing?" McKenna replied tersely. "Kill it, I've got stuff to prevent any disease spread. Plain old chlorine disinfectant does the trick."

[Mierin]

Jessica grins, as she says softly "Tawfeek isn't the boss of our personal lives." To Mensk Jessica says, "Let's get rid of the rodent and make sure there aren't any more. If there's one, there could be others."

[Renekin Skywalker]

I'll do a GM post soon. However, before I do, I'll need one more D20 each for McKenna, Mensk and Jessica

[Mierin]

1d20

1d20

[kurff]

Roll to catch rat in toolbox/case/whatever: (20:45:23) ChatBot: Shawn_Aster rolls 1d20 and gets (16)=16.
JiC:(20:45:20) ChatBot: Shawn_Aster rolls 1d20 and gets (5)=5.
JiC:(20:47:02) ChatBot: Shawn_Aster rolls 1d100 and gets (89)=89.

"I will on my own schedule..Exicucteions before dinner make me lose my appetite." he grinned. "As for getting rid of the rest I'm thinking zero G should get most." once caught he moves on considers how to get the one in walls.

In the Galley

Tawfeek gives a nod. "We ought to, you're right. And make sure the game tables in the guest lounge work properly. Maybe we should make more space in the hold, too. For group activities. It's not like this place as a lot of wiggle room, after all."



In the Cargo Hold
Jessica enters the cargo hold which, for dramatic purposes, has its own small set of gravity controls.

As she does so, her d20 roll allows her to realize that zero-G only upsets rats, it does not kill them. Also, rats need air to breath... the kind of air that is only optional in the cargo hold.

McKenna, due to her d20 roll, realizes the floor will be coming up to meet her. With this knowledge in hand, she lands with a pleasant thump, right side up.

Mensk, may have caught the rat, if the slow-motion zero-G drama were allowed to continue (a slow floating rat would have been caught by a patient tool box, on a 16). However, the gravity intervened. Due to his d20, and his focus on the rat, he lands with a less pleasant thump. Not injured, just over a barrel of something.

The rat landed on its back, righted itself and scurried unhappily into a nook.

[Mierin]

Jessica shakes her head at Mensk and says, "Zero-g won't kill the rats, it will only upset them. Either we need to lay down traps or we need to suck the air out of here."

[kurff]

"Well. So much the idea of that." he shrugged, I'll get'm next time. I really need to get that Zero Gee control to be more sensative. It might be useful for holding sensitive cargo and in the medical bay for some types of injury.." He gets up after a breif look at nook he moves out of the cargohold.

"I'll be in engineering if anyone needs me.." he started engineering bay.

[dakota]

Hitting the floor, McKenna sprung towards the doorway, pushing off fairly hard. "If we vent the bay, we'd be better off, but isn't that a waste of air? I mean it's a long way to port if we get low on oxygen. If we can't kill it, seal it in, with any others."

roll if needed 1d100

GM: As an FYI, A new post in the setting information.

[kurff]

"Zero Gee won't kill, but will allow catching. there are some traps out I would imagine. With plants vented air would be made up for if we space something. Which reminds, Doc you have any spider plants on board that have extension you can cut off and re root?" he asked

[Dome]

Flip nods, "guess that makes me activity director then," he says with a shrug, "not much else to do with auto pilot set and steady."
