Yeah, I think filtration lungs would do us better in more situations than armor. I'm not expecting many gun fights, but I am expecting some toxic atmosphere and poisoning by jealous rivals

Im picturing the enhancer as a) giving us more dialogue options, and
b) giving Olo a method to ask us 'are you sure you want to do that?'

For the brain augment, will it give us perfect memory/recall/attention to detail?

And or, will it make it instantaneous, so we have lots of time to make a decision in bullet time?

How many pods are there? Is it plausible to stretch our legs and do a walk-by of every pod? See if any are empty, dead, broken, things like that. Just a visual inspection.

In total? Almost 8,000 of them. Just under the glitchy controller? 200.

Assume a meter for each pod, thats ~5 miles. Easy walk to stretch our legs, and we can make a habit of it each time we come out of cryo.

Slaan posted:

I BEG you all to consider that these are extremely minor problems. The only reason they were noticed at all is because there was nothing else happening, anywhere. Its a quirk of the ship. If things get worse then Bedia et al will wake us up so we can fix whatever is happening.

On the other hand, there's no cost to doing a walk around that I'm aware of. If we get a habit of being fastidious, that's fine.

Edit: Also, Cylon spotted :v:

I just want to do a quick visual inspection of the ones that are reporting things are fine (literal walkthrough, a couple hours total), and then go more thorough on the odd one (a couple hours itself).

Ooooor maybe they just rounded up a bunch of paranoid undesirables and shipped them off after the war so that they could enjoy Earth in peace and quiet.

quote:

Golgafrincham was a planet, once home to the Great Circling Poets of Arium. The descendants of these poets made up tales of impending doom about the planet. The tales varied; some said it was going to crash into the sun, or the moon was going to crash into the planet. Others said the planet was to be invaded by twelve-foot piranha bees and still others said it was in danger of being eaten by an enormous mutant star-goat.

These tales of impending doom allowed the Golgafrinchans to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The story was that they would build three Ark ships. Into the A ship would go all the leaders, scientists and other high achievers. The C ship would contain all the people who made things and did things, and the B ark would hold everyone else, such as hairdressers and telephone sanitisers. They sent the B ship off first, but of course the other two-thirds of the population stayed on the planet and lived full, rich and happy lives until they were all wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone.

My paranoia is only fueled by the fact we are on a spaceship we don't know much about, fleeing a faceless enemy, and Loel is posting a bunch in the thread.

Speaking as enlisted :v:

, having an unnecessary but labor intensive drill oozes new officer. Reminds me of when we had a guy march his company through a blizzard around a track for 2-3 hours, while my company just stayed inside and watched. Because, its a loving blizzard.

We're giving the lads a bit of extra work (check the pods), let's not present an excess of enthusiasm.

Ark brings up a good point in chat - the cryonics is messing us up a lot worse this time. Do we want to leave our notes and have the XO take the next one?

Yeah...about that. I wonder if we're at the point where we should order our wake-up to be delayed an extra year or so if everything is normal.

I don't want us to be incapacitated if poo poo goes down because we woke up too often when things were OK, like the wake-up before this one.

Im happy to let the XO take third wakeup, things seem pretty mundane.
