Awesome, this looks pretty fun! C: Tabitha Genovese J: Electronic Warfare. I helped figure out how the robots communicate, and then aided in jamming their communication. This meant the robots couldn’t fight as a single cohesive unit and made them much less effective. I know a lot about EM signals and jamming, but didn’t do much fighting. 2: Enhanced Optics - Telescopic. Lets you see things far away. Low power draw. 4: Enhanced Chemical Sensors. This bionic allows you to detect airborne chemical markers. Low power draw. 5: Enhanced Cognition. Basically a small computer, this allows you to do complex calculations and can store and recall a great deal of data. Low power draw. P

ACF + get some security awake to check all the pods with us. The confluence of little things going wrong all at once is enough to be a little paranoid about in my view, especially given we are the last hope of humanity. +1 to asking if freezing/unfreezing has some kind of limit.

And if you don't think the currently awake will tell stories about this to those who are sleeping when they wake up, I have a bridge to sell you. I'll take that bridge, I can command a ship from it!  I'm mostly not feeling very paranoid, it looks like the things that broke are entirely innocuous, but I'm leaving my vote where it is. Enough rides on it that it's worth being careful.

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.

FaustianQ posted:You can make a machine out of diamagnetic materials, it's entirely plausible and I'm kind of confused why that hasn't come up. Did the machines utterly lack in creativity in dealing with a standard steel war machines weaknesses? Do the machines even use silicon circuitry? Did they have no infiltrator models? Why aren't human bionics built using more natural and safer materials? Olo has said there were never any reports of infiltrators, flesh mimicking or otherwise, I think. Which, even if you're being paranoid, rather rules out that they ever had them, since if they only started using infiltrators once they were good enough to never be discovered, then humanity should have been doomed in any case. Why they never used infiltrators is as much a mystery as why they sought to destroy humanity. But, since I am paranoid, I'll note that 'they could have beat us if they had good enough infiltrators for us to never notice them' doesn't apply if destroying us was never the goal in the first place.  edit: Olothreutes posted:

 Wake Tubal, head engineer, tell him to avoid waking already woken engineers though, as well as a last ditch effort to wake someone medical to take a look at Tabby. Ask Bedia specifically if the break up was violent.

I can't decide whether Hooboy being us perking up after saying no to Omaissen (which we should still use), Hooboy being an outright accident, or it being Otto's idea is best. Somehow, all three have to be true.

It was worse when I was living in Manitoba, though; here at least it's more of a dry cold, so it's just the needle-cold wind finding the gaps in your clothes, but there it was a wet cold that seeped into your bones.

Figuring out how many muons are floating around should be a high priority then. How possible would it be to apply the ships shields to a colony? I'm sure personal radiation shields are impossible. We should also wake a stellar scientist if we can and get them crunching on what we can expect from this jackass of a star. I'd expect any place on the planet is going to be equally vulnerable to the storms so shielding for everything we got is a necessity regardless of where we land.

We'd still need some 'our ship' scale shielding even out there I think. I haven't read what kind of refueling or infrastructure maintaining or expanding our energy shields take, so I would like to know about that.

Can the probes tell us what kind of reaction the muons are having with their shields? Do we have anyone awake who can tell us about the viability of a asteroid belt based settlement? What does it take to build more energy shields? How impossible would personal shields be?

How much radiation is getting through the shields of the probes though? And, from before, what does it take to build more energy shields? How impossible would personal shields be? I guess you may be implying very impossible to build more shields, though.

That's good news about the shields, though we should confirm that the muons are covered, maybe that already got brought up. How feasible would it be to build a wearable one use short duration energy shield? Trusting we're all under the dome when we need to be could be tragic.
