Don't forget that at 5th level four of your ability scores go up by 2.

I'm leaning strongly toward adding another level of biohacker to Lilly, then pick one class or the other and focus on it.
She's an interesting build that I'd never normally create; I tend to stick with one class and just keep going. I'm curious to see how a 3/2 character plays out in a level 5 adventure.
As far as the Starfinder Society Chronicle sheets go, I'll try to get that information together this weekend. I'll be needing your organized play numbers and character number you would like to apply this to. It will have to be a 3rd or 4th level character, though it can be applied to a lower level character with the understanding that the benefits of the sheet can't be applied until the character reaches appropriate level (again, level 3 or 4).
I'll likely email them to each of you, unless I figure out a way to share the docs.
Thanks GMQ.

Just about finished levelling.
A couple of minor points to finish updating on the character sheet, but I was having trouble with it timing out and repeated losing my changes.
Not really playing SFS anymore, but I do have a 3rd level character.

Guys, I apologize for disappearing for a week. Work was sucking home life was busy, and I just couldn't get enthused to post. Part of it is my next news. Some things have come up and I'm going to be traveling for about three weeks starting Friday. I won't have internet the first week for sure. Posting schedule is likely to be shaky otherwise.

No worries. I still need at least a few days to get this next book in order. It's going to be great fun.
IN OTHER NEWS, I issued an invitation to a new player. Hopefully he'll accept, and if he does, I invited him to introduce himself here.
This character is going to change things up for us, I think.
The other three submissions were also very good, and I have in mind a plan B should it be needed.
No problems, Thom. Take care.
We're not going anywhere ;)
That's great news, GMQ! Looking forward to meeting our new teammate.
Just got a message from Quirk, asking me to introduce myself to the crew! I just wanted say I'm very excited to be selected to join you fine folks, and hope Gakatea can provide you with the support we'll need to unravel the Three Fold Conspiracy ... (queue X Files theme music) ...
I'm not sure how Quirk plans to integrate Galatea into the current scene. During the submission process I was read the first few pages of the Gameplay, but as I progressed, given the nature of the game with its secrets, mysteries and conspiracies I didn't progress much further than the boarding of the Chimera.
As for Galatea's background, I'm not sure how tightly Quirk wants me to play that to the chest, so we'll keep it focused on the mechanical aspects of the character right now. Galatea is a front line, combat engineer, agile, dexterous and intelligent. Outfitted in powered armor, she is capable of laying down cover fire with her plasma bolter, while hacking a hangar door to keep reinforcements away from her team, all while dragging an injured team mate to safety. Rugged,durable, and most importantly, loyal. At least to those she trusts ... did I mention she's a little paranoid and trusts very few people at this point in her life?
Hopefully that will change, right? Right ...
Well, I suppose this means you have accepted my offer to join this group! I'm pleased.
You made a fun character who embraced this setting.
I'll be making a review post here soon for your benefit briefly outlining the operation you just finished, and where you are now.
I'll also send you a PM with some interesting tidbits you might know about where you're headed, and the odd things that you -think- you have seen there.
MEANWHILE, you will find this to be a fun group. We've been at for about 18 months now. I think most of us are either midwest or eastern U.S., but one of us is in Australia. Let's see if you figure out who based on their posting times...
Also, one of us is a local friend of mine. The player who plays Dr. Flint Bridge, along with his teen son, are often in my in-person games.
Once again, welcome!
Alan, AKA GM Quirk
Welcome aboard Galatea!
Paranoid, you say? Well, she'll fit right in with this crew...
Mind blown!
Welcome, Galatea! I loved the paranoia, especially not trusting her own exocortex.
It should be a fun intro!
Alright gang, I have updated the google slides with a new link. Please follow the link in the heading up above or in my signature. Please let me know if you have any trouble interacting with the maps, and update your initiative mods as necessary on slide 8.
You may peruse the maps as you see fit.
Also, I am working on your chronicle sheets. I promise I will get them out sometime this week.
I will make the first post in game play for this book TOMORROW (Monday).
Slides look good, here. Initiative updated and RARing to go!
Thanks for the re-cap! Are we starting 'in media res', the PC's have been hauled aboard and the Stewards will debrief from there? Galatea isn't really personable, she's tech support and security, maybe a liason with the mercenaries?
She'd likely want to go over the evacuees computers, comms and such to check for anomalous readings, time stamps, or entries. Other than that their experiences in the facility itself would be interesting to her. How well does she know the crew of the Voidcrier, both the two Stewards, and the mercs themselves?

I'll be posting more tonight, and I think this will give you all a better point to begin. I do still plan on posting some things (in spoiler) that only you (Galatea-5) currently knows. This will happen tonight as well.
Here I am doing month end auditing and I'm on my phone checking for updates. Tells you how excited I am to participate!
No rush on the updates, but they are super appreciated!
Even having been here from the beginning, the recap was very handy! Thanks GMQ.
Oh! One thing to note, Galatea-5 has the alternate racial trait, Infosphere Integration. With infosphere access, she can select an Int, Wis, or Cha based Skill to become trained in and receives skill focus in that trait. She can switch the skill during a short rest, when she spends resolve to regain stamina.
If possible, I'd like to start with it set to Perception.
Question how are folks getting your stats, etc. displayed under the alias name? I can't find a signature option, but I see how that would be useful, both to GMQ and to our fellow players?
This link should help you out. It's a template from the links to Kit for New PBP GMs on front of Castamir Station page.
Thanks for the link! It worked! I may fiddle with the format a little, but I like it.
Secondly, and this is for GMQ ... did you need actualy rolls from me for the scans? If anyone is actually hurt, I could certainly do a Treat Deadly Wounds, however given that a Med Bay gives me a DC of 20, and assuming an Aid from Lilly would put me at +17 to Medicine, taking a 10, it would be a 27, allowing them each to heal 9 HP's.
And finally where are the rest of the crew, did any of the Voidcrier's crew suffer injuries? I could heal them up too.
No problem :)

At this point I will not need any rolls. I think we can assume that some rest will be possible. In fact, you all can have a full 8-hour rest, perhaps taken after this visit to the medlab and perhaps the galley.
As far as your second question, that will be answered in gameplay! :)
Question, is Breez conscious? I'll treat deadly wounds, regardless, but I'd like to speak to her as well if at all possible.
Breez is in and out of it. A delirium has set in.
I'm away from my book and notes, but there will be a medicine check for you and the good Dr. Flint-Bridge later this evening.
There may even be some things that the rest of you notice about Breez.
I'd be a little concerned about using Magical Healing at this point. We're in a stocked med lab, with an Aid check, I can heal level+4 with an 8+ on a d20. Let's save,Oh S*%% heals, for the players ... that's my thoughts anyway ...
FYI, everyone:
John is traveling with spotty internet for a bit longer. That is why we haven't heard from him. He was able to make a short post in a different game he is involved in.
Fairly busy here, I'll try to get a post up tonight though.
Going to be a busy week for me. I may not get the chance to post everyday. Please bot T'sorkel if needed. I will be back to normal by Friday.
All good T'sorkel, Threefold seems like it could be a slow burn, and here I am feeding the paranoia and conspiracy theories! Loving it!
Question for you GMQ, since we're not in the Drift, is there enough of an Infosphere connection that I can, with a short rest, switch my Infosphere Integration from Medicine to Culture? ie. I want to download the latest news on the Brutaris scene, team rankings, player stats, etc?

I'm going to say yes. Though the connection is tenuous, you should be able to get commonly available news sources. I would hate for a basic function of your character to be unusable.
TO THE REST OF YOU: Please excuse my lack of posting. As I have mentioned, I am getting ready to go to Gencon. There are a couple of things that go with that: first, I have to get ahead at work--I schedule two cable TV channels, so I have to work ahead into next week. Today is my last day for that. ALSO, I am presenting a professional seminar at Gencon regarding my work with teens at the library where my TV channel is. I have lots of google slides to create for the presentation.
I hope you'll all continue with the excellent role playing. I'll be awarding "bottlecaps" next week to at least a couple of you. (Galatea, bottlecaps are a reroll you can use as you see fit for any d20 roll).
Bottlecaps? GCP reference, heh, I get it. I'm really enjoying the game, and hope that we can continue with the RP, I'm not even fully involved in it yet, not knowing precisely went on at the Outpost, but I am digging it, good atmosphere, great players! :)
Also, as for making Infosphere Integration useless, please don't stress that, it *should* be unavailable at certain points, it's why I track where it is and what it is currently set to, incase we get stuck for an extended period without internet.
Galatea why are struggling at performing basic first aid? I, uhhh, downloaded the last ten seasons of Brutaris matches, do you want to know the Blitzer's yardage from last year, it was AMAZING!
Sorry about sporadic posting - RL has been a bit busy of late and I'm wanting to do better justice to the situation than a quick off-the-cuff post.
I'm back. Looks like you've been busy. I'll try to catch up and post by tomorrow night.
I have returned from a successful Gencon!
We will resume tomorrow evening (Monday).
I have enjoyed the banter.
Galatea probably doesn't need a long rest as she wasn't involved in the escape from the the Gray Outpost. However, I am fine advancing the scene to the Brutaris viewing ...
However, during the long rest I would like to do two things a) with 5 ranks in Life Science I would love to craft (which will take 4 hours) some Superior Intoxicants (Alcohol) for the viewing, I figure showing up with a couple bottles of moonshine might ingratiate us with the mercenaries and loosen lips. And, if time permits, she'd like to look at the Drift Drives to determine what the nature of the malfunction that is preventing us from going into Drift space.
If you need rolls for one or either, or want to roleplay some of her planned downtime activities, I am glad to do that as well.
Big oof on that bluff check!
