Addressing the AI once more, I'll look into that later, right now, these people need medical attention.

Gil smiles at the AI response to "Skrimish" getting a small chuckle. I suggest we not worry about that right now. lets take a little breather while I see what I can do to get you guys a little better health wise.

After looking over everyone Gil closes her eyes and looks like she is in deep concentration.

everyone can feel a rumble in the very air. the ground vibrates slightly. after a couple of seconds, everyone feels wounds closing as though stitched together by unseen forces.

burn a resolve point to heal everyone for 2d8 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6 HP

After a few more seconds, the entire effect stops abruptly. Gill drops to one knee as she catches her breath once more.

Should, help, for, now. Must get moving. she says in a staggered voice.

Snorri won't be healed as he's only lost Stamina

"Does the AI seem any different lately? Or has it always been... uhm... uniquely programmed." He peers at Gil as he asks the question as she seemed to be reacting as if it was being... normal. From a design point of view that concerned him. He'd rather just deal with a monitor than the unhinged thing that had tried to vent them, if this place was fully staffed he doubted they could get through a day without a casualty the way it had responded to them so far.


The AI says, "I am not sure how other AIs are programmed maybe we are all uniquely programmed. Mr. Forgefather, are all red headed dwarves educated in the same manner as you? You are the first one this AI has come in contact with and with that an extremely interesting specimen."


RETIRED

Kit shivers happily, her fur and whiskers twitching. "Oooooh, yeeeeah! That's the stuff!"

She scampers over to Gil and leans on a nearby wall, toying with the battery in her hand. "You don't look so good yourself, ya' know."

With a shrug, she follows the others towards the Med-bay.

Kit laughs at Snorri's question. "Yeah, this AI is Buh-NAYNAY! It tried to kill some of them!" she exclaims, pointing at her pals. "And who knows where--" Suddenly she stops. "Hey, AI!" she exclaims loudly. "Where's Vult? Did you vent him into space or something?"

Khal snorts. I'm amazed a dictionary wasn't downloaded into this AI, I feel like the people who made it felt they should keep it under wraps. That healing was great, but unless we intend to keep out of any confrontation, we should rest at least 10 minutes... Unless this fungus is fast acting... Otherwise I'd like to get it out of me as soon as possible.


The AI says, "Vult and Ambrose have gone back to your ship."

The AI responds to Khall, "Well, it seems you did not learn the correct words in school. Skrimish is not a word, my only guess is that you meant skirmish, which means minor confrontation. What fungus do you have inside of you?"

You take ten minutes to reast and then the turbolift up to Alpha sector.

Gil recovers quickly, she seems to be still under the effects of the fungal infection as well.

If you all need the rest, we can rest for a few, but we need to get to the med lab, this infection spreads at different rates. it affects the minds first.

addressing Khall, I believe the computer may be having difficulty with your accent. I am sure the common tongue is not native to you.

"Oh I see... it's just the constantly trying to twist things we say into kill us by venting us into space for example seemed like some safety measures had wandered out an airlock." He nods a little.


The AI says, "There has been no twisting of any kind. Safety is of the paramount here on Planet Kask Station. Each one of you has free will and if you choose to be vented into space, that is your choice. I am here to maintain the station and answer questions."

You make your down into Theta sector, and the AI says, "Theta Sector contains the medical facilities for the Outpost and storage areas for its related compressed gasses, raw materials, chemical supplies, and other hazardous materials. The outer sections of Theta Sector have been set aside for future expansion once the specific needs of those colonizing planet Kask and therefore the needs of the outpost station servicing those colonists are better known."

It continues, "Section A of Theta Sector is the medical bay for the entire outpost. It is outfitted with the latest in automated care, and is capable of servicing the needs of up to 1200 patients with all forms of care, from vaccinations to neurological surgery."

Gil recognizes the location where the building here is white with a large red cross marked on it, and has two floors connected by moving walkways.

The AI continues, "Section B contains row upon row of nearly identical warehouses, each of which stores a hazardous material or substance."

Khall curses, Well, I understand now! the Ikeshti Accent getting on your nerves? I always heard it said Skrimish, not Skirmish, how does one even say that? Skirm... Ugh... she sighs, Computer... Doesneach medical kit contain a flare gun?
She turns to the others. If it comes to it we could use the flares as weapons, as well as signals.


RETIRED

Kit scratches her chin as she rests. "Seems to me, AI, shooting someone into space is the OPPOSITE of safe."

When they're better she pops up to her feet. "Let's get this show on the road!"

As we head off Kit keeps and eye on their surroundings, eyes shifting back and forth warily.

The AI says, "True, but when someone shoots themselves into space, they take responsibility for themselves."

"What company programmed you AI? Did they do the whole station." Snorri sits down for a moment. <I'm sure if it's operating as intended the creator has been sued a lot.>

I am just gonna go with the flow here. also If I do or say something that goes against the intended story, let me know

EDIT: I believe we did take a 10 min rest before proceeding down to the Medical level

Gil soon recognizes where she needs to go, this way, follow me. I should have a serum to potentially eliminate the fungal virus.

she checks her hands as she proceeds looking for additional signs of the virus spreading.

sense motive DC 12:

the entire time, Gil looks like she is struggling mentally. Like she is fighting off a telepathic intruder. though she appears to be winning, her defenses seems to drop when she needs to utilize her powers for other purposes. (like using the healing channel ability).

With a shrug, Kit follow Gil. "After you."

Khall checks her guns she doesn't pay attention to the new woman, figuring if she ended up being a threat she'd be more than capable of putting a bullet in her skull.

"All Right, Let's go."

Vagoru gets ready to head out.

Did we get a chance for a 10 minute rest? I am assuming we did.

Yes, we did.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

You walk into the medical hospital and it is completely sterile.

You hear a different voice from the intercom system, "Welcome to the Planet Kask Station Medical Center. Dr. Shultz-Wu, it is pleasant to see you again. PLease disrobe to go through the deradiation process."

Gil

Spoiler:
This is standard procedure.


Level 2 Soldier-HP: 14/20, Stamina: 18/18, Resolve: 3/4, EAC: 17, KAC: 19, Fort: +5, Ref: +3, Will: +5, Initiative: +3

<She can disrobe all she want's I'm not taking off my armour on this death trap.> Snorri rolls his shoulders expecting an oncoming argument.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

The Medical AI says, "You can choose to leave your armor on, however, if it is powered there is a chance that the radiation removal process may make the armor lose its functionality."


RETIRED

Kit laughs loudly. "Auww, Snorri, are you shy?" she jokes.

Despite razzing the dwarf she makes no move to remove her clothes, either. Instead she looks around curiously.

khall, who being reptilian wasn't shy at all, began to remove her clothes. She did however keep her second skin armor on, the black nano-fiber suit unlikely to cause any issues with the prosses. She takes her knife with her.
I see no issue... She says, Besides, it's not like any of you have anything I haven't seen before... Ah, computer, why are you different here? Is this a different AI?


RETIRED

Haha. Kit will wait until she's certain there's no death trap waiting for her before stripping naked.


RETIRED

"Are you a pervert, AI?" Kit asks curiously, stalling for time as she checks and double checks the area for dangers, fungus people, and vents that could be opened to shoot her into space.


The Station AI says, "You are conversing with the hospital AI. It can handle any of your medical queries."

The Medical Station AI says, "The hospital system runs separately from the Station AI. The design was such in the case of an electrical emergency, injured or ill residents would be less affected by a failure."


Shot Putter Funkmeister

The medical AI responds, "No. If one of you are, you may opt for treatment in the mental health or sexual health wings of the medical center. Our medical robots are more than capable over time to cure you or one of your crew from any mental or sexual ailments. Would you like to schedule an appointment? Ysoki Female."

Khall snorts, crossing her arms, Alright, Computer... What about our gear? What will happen to it? Are we to put it in lockers? she says, lifting the trench coat, belts, and bandoliers she had worn over her armor.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

The AI says, "You may either place your equipment in a locker or may go through electrically safe scan. On the conveyor belt to your left."

Khall drops her belts filled with, explosives, ammunition, and a Lazer Rifle onto the belt and steps into the sanitization room. Look, so far, the AI has been honest if a little stupid... I am sure this isn't a trap she says. -Famous last words


RETIRED

Since I got no response about dangers I assume it is safe.

Kit laughs. "Nope. I'm good." She wands over to the conveyor belt and strips naked, tossing her stuff onto it. Once she's naked she spits the entire contents of her cheek pouches onto the belt, revealing a few healing serums, a bunch of batteries and a personal comm unit. Then she struts through the deradiation device.


Level 2 Soldier-HP: 14/20, Stamina: 18/18, Resolve: 3/4, EAC: 17, KAC: 19, Fort: +5, Ref: +3, Will: +5, Initiative: +3

"I'll wait for ye to get geared back up on the other side at the least. All of us standing around with our gear not in hand seems foolish..." He gets a sour look "The AIs monitoring our comms frequency doesn't make me feel any less suspicious."

sorry long work day today

Gil will move on as requested, standard procedure. Its all normal

Gil moves ahead to the decontamination chamber and complys wit the instruction.

Lets get this over with so I can get everyone inoculated from this fungal virus

I don't like the idea of all of us doffing our armor at once, but if we all need to do this then maybe we should rotate, so half of us stand watch while the others do their thing in the medical bay?


Shot Putter Funkmeister

The AI says, "The integrity of the sterility of the hospital must be maintained. So please move forward.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

As I understand, Kit, Khall and Gil will go and then Snorri, Vag and Bronen will wait. If you want to do "comms" you should write it in a spoiler...

After khall walks through she waits on the other side for her Equipment to finish, checking her voice modulator to see if it still functioned.I forget, Khall has an artificial voice box, so if the "sterilization" messes up powered Equipment would it effect that?


Is it internal or external?

well, the dial to adjust it is external, otherwise it's mostly internal,
without it I'd imagine Khall would sound like a chain smoker.


RETIRED

Snorri's been using <to denote comms communication> since the beginning. He mentioned it specifically.

Wait. This might mess up anything electronic/technological? Cause I have my spell cache implanted into my hand. Kit wouldn't step foot through that thing if it would mess up her spell cache. She needs her spells.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Kit and everyone except for Gil took tentacle damage and failed their saving throws, means they are infected and they need treatment and the only place to get said treatment is in there. It would be easier for me to put a spoiler.

I have been going with the idea that Gil was already infected prior to meeting the group.
