This is a long voyage where close quarters are shared by only a few people for extended periods of time. On one hand they have two decades to fret away and shouldn't be ordered to waste their lives. On the other this is a ship of 8000 souls and needs to be kept running and two people becoming hateful towards each other is unacceptable. Have a sit down with the officers. Get all sides of the story independently, including current atmosphere and how it has been affecting ship performance, then discuss options, including rotating the crew out.

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?

I'm going to vote we not wake up the same engineers we woke up last time, and try and go with a rotation if we don't absolutely need someone specific. Because if we're any indication, the more you freeze and thaw, the worse the backlash hits. We should probably check if we have anyone whose field relates to the cryo units. I'm pretty sure the worsening of symptoms on cryo cycles is something that needs to be considered. Anyway, do some investigation of the severity of the problem first, but it'll probably need us to wake up Tubal if it turns out to be equipment related rather than crew related. I guess that's A/C?

ABCDEFG, and take a poll of the people woken for the second time if their waking was worse this time. Let's get some data here, and if everyone is worse, we want to have them designate others to wake instead next time.

G + Ask if everything is ok on the bridge. If it's necessary, we can wake the chief up later, but for now, stick with a regular engineer. Plus, we kind of need to know about the situation with the Wardens. Crew morale is important, they're crew. And right now, they're literally the most important crew because they're the only ones with any firsthand knowledge of what the hell is going on around here. Last thing we need is them missing something because they're being pissy at each other a few years from now.

G + start trading off with the XO Seems like repeated wakeups might be harmful so let's be conservative. Do we have any back-up wardens?

A, he will know which engineers we should wake up.

# ? Aug 28, 2016 07:26 |
A, waking no one who's already been woken, wake someone with detailed knowledge on cryo, get the story about the breakup and swap out Cedric and Bedia for whoever has decent enough suitability for being a warden, if the rift has any violence in its history. Leave as much notes as we can think of, get Vlad to take the next wake up check. We will alternate with Vlad on the check up.

G, let's wake up some other poor sap before we go straight to the top. If this is a problem the engineer thinks we'll need Tubal for, we can wake him up. Also seconding to make sure the breakup is being handled well.

This is more of an isolation deployment than a career project. On the other hand, they're still going to feel like 20 years is a hell of a long time to be around only a couple of other people.

Re: The break-up. We're not really qualified to help sort this out. If we're really worried we should wake the psychiatrist to do some sessions. Otherwise it's probably best to butt out, lest we make things worst with well-meaning meddling. G

Also, stay awake a couple of days, meander about and get used to our body and get rid of the headache before we take out our pills and go back to sleep. No point compiling the pain for next time.

No point compiling the pain for next time. 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.

G And I suggest that we wake atleast two engineers, the ones we deem most knowledgeable of the current problem. With two of them we should be able to get different perspectives if it turns out to be serious, and they can bounce ideas of eachother. I also think we should have individual talks with all the wardens about current morale et.c.

No point compiling the pain for next time. How long can you be out of the freezer before it's problems to put people back in? Or until you actually recover from the ill effects, at least sort of? Do we have any documentation on this? Would it actually not be a bad idea to stick around for a thorough (weeks to a month and change) inspection so we aren't left literally reeling next time?

Get a check-up, wake up an engineer to look at it who hasn't been woken up yet, figure out how bad the breakup was and if they need a therapist. Didn't they think to include those sorts of getting over a breakup modules in the database?

G Might as well spare Audun and Wasan the pain of being woken again; they didn't even deal so well the first time around. Also, make sure we're writing down our dreams. I vote to leave the Wardens' personal issues alone. They'll figure it out without our micromanagement, and they'll probably appreciate our discretion if we don't prod too much. Let's assume that the selection process expected some relationship tensions and expected it to work out. Finally, did we read our entire report yet? Anything else on it that needs to be addressed? (Yay, CYOA in spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!)

Dream analysis is a crock, and whoever's closest to a psychoanalyst on the ship would just tell us it's our anxieties over the mission and our being in command that are making us have dreams of failure, here's a sedative.

I vote A. Presumably the head engineer will know who to wake to deal with the problem. Also we avoid waking the two previous engineers, sounds like they wouldn't want this headache.

Nice CYOA you have here. My kind of speed. Happy to see planet A got chosen. Like minded fools, unite! While I'm happy seeing all the BSG comments I want to just say this sounds far more like the old Berserker books than BSG. And that's SUPER worrisome. Ok with respect to the problem at hand: - I agree on waking the XO; repeated wakings getting worse? Definitely get a nice long 'nap' for yourself. Though realistically, you're halfway there. It's a 22 year journey; Year 12 is at hand. So he's really only going to see one waking, feasibly. You'll be awake for the final waking AND the 20 year waking if you alternate. I think it'd make more sense to have him take two in a row with contingent orders to wake you on extreme emergencies only. Trust your subordinates to do their jobs. SIDE NOTE: IMAGINE HOW ROUGH THAT 60+ YEAR JOURNEY WOULD BE - Talk only with Bedia unless she shows significant personal bias; I don't believe previous interactions with you will indicate she does. She seems very forthright. With respect on who to wake up: Head Engineer - with contingency to use other engineers EXCEPT previous two. Minimize that damage, after all. Science officer - we need someone to check the space to ensure there's no external influences or local anomalies. Leave security out of this for now, IMO.

Olothreutes posted:Given the recovery time of both of the engineers, they may have already had it. The berserker series was one of those "I'm stumbling around the library and OH HEY THIS OLD rear end SCIFI COVER LOOKS COOL" finds of my mid-90's youth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserker_(Saberhagen) It's basically a race of super-advanced psychotic killer robots that are the remnants of some old culture. Your classic 'we made this weapon to kill things and it worked too good so now we're all dead' story. So people will go to explore planets and unearth a berserker hive and poo poo gets real - and fast. Good stuff. Often the solution lies in using the berserkers against themselves or tricking them (tricksy hobbitses! We hates them!). This kind of reminds me of this. I'm less worried about cylons than I am about people. Aside from nukes, the cylons in the remade BSG were hardly as antagonistic as the paranoid crew / residents / themselves, IMO. Mostly they were just acting as glorified shepherds. The humans were almost always the cause of their own worst disasters. And lastly, wow, you're doing a CYOA with your wedding 3.5 weeks away? Brave man.

So you think the genius robot guy's "problem" could be that humans were too lazy to invest hard in colonization, so to prevent our extinction we needed a robot "push" out of the nest?

Not sure entirely if that's what's going on but it seems rather odd to me that a doctor would be a benefactor to mankind, drop an easily contained 'show' force of robots, launch a moderately successful campaign only to have it collapse inward on itself while he absconds to parts unknown (preferably not the ones we're in) to 'start again'? Moreover the GM has made it very clear the robots became less and less human; meaning they were likely autonomous past the first or second generation and the good Doctor Wily was off planning his next steps. The robots in making themselves after function rather than form became a thing unto themselves. Who knows what his long term goals and motivations were... but as it stands, it sure succeeded in getting the baby birds to leave the nest, eh?

I just assume that with all the cyborgs running about, someone had to be infected with malware by the machines. Also,I find it hard to believe we finally won the war against the machines when we are all half machine now. I think they want a new planet too and are piggybacking.
