Baskoro's page

GM, thanks for a great experience.

Team: thank you for allowing Baskoro to boss over you ;-)

Baskoro carefully shakes Therseis hand "You are more than welcome to join us when we head out to Absalom station."

"The sad message to me is that Copaxi leadership did not want to give up the status quo. It is not about embracing or rejecting drift technology, it is about accepting that not all people are alike and that there will be differences. That is a good thing."

Baskoro smiles as he turns to his companions "Of course there is a time for discussion and a time to follow commands. It is any leader's responsibility to allow for reflection and look back on decisions made."

Turning back to Therseis he concludes "Rather than asking what we would do I think you need to decide for yourself what you will do with this knowledge"

"I am so sorry for you, life must be tough here. Thank you for showing us the journal. Would you care to sell it to us? I think 250 creds is a reasonable price. I hope you can use it to make a jump start into a better life."

Baskoro flips them a cred-stick "Now that is more like it! Can't blame you for trying."

50 creds, I earn that in a good night at the opera!

I will pay for this, no need to divide it. As an envoy I don't need expensive weapons

"By what rights do you demand money for us to look around? By the right of your weapons? Of course we are willing to pay you for your work, but that is it. Really, get a life!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

"Thank you Therseis for your understanding, we will try to get the robot to our ship without the others noticing."

"Team, let's get less-than-3 to the ship, you accompany the robot and give me one of those rulebooks for that flying game. I'll distract the others"

Baskoro leads the way to the team and when they are within sight of the other researchers he moves towards them "Good researchers, can you help me with understanding something I found in these books? Obviously your grasp of the language is a lot greater than ours"

Baskoro plants his feet on the ground and surveys the battle "Get it! Come on Trusty, we will repair you when it is over!"

Get 'em and Trusty regains 7 SP

"Come on Faria! Hang in there and get that thing!"

[ooc]Faria regains 7 stamina and everyone has a +1 on their attack rolls vs the Corchaaz[ooc}

"Anyone know what that is? Never mind, take it down!"

Get 'em and a move to move forward while drawing semi-auto pistol

Baskoro glares at Faria

There can be only one captain on a ship....

Baskoro surveys the operation "Ok team, what do we make of this?"

"Thank you Therseis. Team, let's head to that extraction site"

Baskoro opens the communication channel with Therseis "It seems this area is where your ancient copaxi used to play a game called Parabolas. It seems they had great skills in influencing gravity, as this floating city also attests to. Another thing that came to mind, is there something like family relationships between copaxi?"

Baskoro takes care not to step onto the field, but waits just outside it. "I see some books there, but how are we going to get them?"

Medicine (2 rank): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

"Careful! Those flowers are likely unique to the atmospheric and meteorological conditions in this floating city. Let's take some pictures so we can show them to Therseis"

Sense Motive Therseis: 1d20 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (14) + 5 + (6) = 25

Baskoro does not react to Therseis' strange reaction but rather gets his datapad out and shows the copaxi the flowers "Are you perhaps familiar with these? We saw them growing at the site and I think they are likely extinct on the rest of your planet"

Baskoro walks over to Therseis, while keeping an eye on the other scientists "Therseis, can we ask you something? The text there says 'Your lies cannot silence the Signal! Long live the First to Listen!' while you said earlier that copaxi only recently were able to decipher the signal for drift travel. Do you know anything about a conflict between technological en non-technological groups some 300 years ago?"

"Oh Faria, didn't you prepare for combat? Next time take care and pick up some serums of healing in Absalom Station. You are lucky you are with me, take this. Mind you, I only have these two so only take them if and when absolutely needed. Now, why don't you sit down for ten minutes while we have a better look at these inscriptions?"

Baskoro holds out two serums of healing (both Mk1)

"Allright team, this is not a drill! Take it down!"

That is another get'em

"Engage forward drive Trusty! Your optical unit might be out of range where you are!"

"One more to go, you know how it works, get that one!" Baskoro shouts as he moves forward

"Indeed! That's what I meant! Good job team!"

"Faria, you hang in there!" Baskoro shouts while he points his laser pistol at the green undead copaxi "I said: 'Take that one out first!', not take your time doing it!"

Standard: Inspiring boost at Faria: regain 7 SP. Move: Get'em at Green

Baskoro moves towards the opening in the fence while he draws his lazer pistol. He raises his other arm and points it at the green undead copaxi "Take that one out first!"

Get'em: Until the start of your next turn, you and your allies gain a +1 morale bonus to attack rolls made against that enemy.

Baskoro replies to Therseis when they approach the gardens

"Of course Therseis, you just hang back there and observe while we deal with the threat"

Seeing that this is an excellent opportunity to tell the others of his findings he gathers the starfinder team "Therseis seems to think that there is a discrepancy between actual and 'official' history. He is also concerned that the others find out about his comm unit, that kind of technology is frowned upon, to put it mildly"

Sense Motive (2 rank): 1d20 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (14) + 5 + (1) = 20
Diplomacy (2 rank): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Baskoro is about to give Therseis a big clap on the back when he remembers that physical contact is a no-go. He slowly takes his hand back and scratches behind his own vestigal ears "We will be very thorough in our investigation, thank you."

The vesk waits a bit, giving the copaxi time to fill the silence

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (17) + 5 + (4) = 26

Baskoro follows the others and waits until he can speak to Therseis without the other copaxi overhearing

"Is something bothering you? You seem to be preoccupied. I saw you fiddling with a comm unit before and you seemed to be uneasy about the coins. Anything you 'forgot' to tell us?"

Intimidate, Veiled Threat: 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 8 + (4) = 24

Here's where I should mention that my character's opinions about social studies are not necessarily my own.

Of couse your character's ideas do not necessarily mirror your own, we are playing a roleplaying game.

"Therseis, do you have any hypothesis why these coins would be here? I see no indication that they were used in this market place? Are coins used in modern copaxi society?"

"Therseis, please accompany us. That way you will also get an understanding how a starfinder team operates. Although I have to warn you, we are not a military organization and each team has their own procedures. In fact the society believes in rotating team members in and out of teams, sometimes you work with people you know and sometimes you get assigned to a team with complete strangers"

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Baskoro picks up one of the coins and shows it to the others "'We Few Above All' could that be a reference to a ruling class?"

He speaks load enough so that Therseis is shared in the conversation, even if the copaxi has kept his distance.

Culture?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

They are probably communicating with a significant other on that comm unit. Or maybe looking at some inappropriate content...

"We will start with one of those allready explored sites, thank you Therseis"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Market first?

Baskoro seems startled that Y2K addresses him in his self-assigned role "Thank you Y2K! Although on the ground I think we don't need to be that formal."

"Thank you for having us Therseis. Traditional pact world greetings is to extend a hand and shake it. Would you like me to show how that goes?"

Inside the office the vesk responds to the introductions "Well met, all of you. I am Baskoro. I am a Vesk and come from the Veskarium, which is a mighty empire. I will let the others make their own introductions."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 5 + (4) = 15

Is it making fun of me? Although it seems to know things nobody remembers. You've got this Bask!"

Baskoro attempts to copy the copaxi in their movements.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 5 + (6) = 16

Baskoro stops and seems to be out of his depth. He whispers to the others "Does anyone know what they are doing?"

My apologies if Baskoro is too much a pain, I can of course tone things down if anybody wants me to. Just tell me (or the GM) either here or privately. It is a game and I want everybody to have fun.

"Pilot, what are you waiting for?"

Baskoro gives Faria and Cora a stern look while he keeps the audiochannel with the copaxi closed "I will bring up the communication on your displays. As captain it is my prerogative that I do the talking, unless I delegate to you."

He then turns to his own display and opens the audio channel "Thank you for your welcome. We look forward to working with you. We will board our shuttle in a moment so that we can meet in person."

"Open a comm channel please"

Baskoro waits for the pilot to open the comms "Copaxi research team for Starfinder Starship Drake 3453 Alpha. Please point out the best landing site. Over."

"Well done Teisu! Tell me, how do I pronounce that squiggly thing above your name?"

GM, I noticed that I did not update my profile to account for my GM chronicles. Now done.

I am afraid it also does not fit Baskoro's personality. Although as a player I would like to pick it up. I am almost inclined to make a new character that would fit within the faction.

Baskoro glares at the towering steward who makes androids so big that they can look down on you? It is ridiculous!.

Adressing Venture Captain Arvin and ignoring the steward he asks "I assume the society is compensated for the time of and risk to their agents for this. Do we report back to you or to the Major?"

A not so big Vesk enters. He carries himself with an air as if he was 8' tall, instead of a mere 5'6". "Wel met companions, I am Baskoro. Opera singer extraordinaire and rising star within the Society. Perhaps you have heard about me."

He does not acknowledge that he is late at all.

”Together we will make the society great again!” the not so big vesk exclaims as he enters the waiting room. His face drops as he realizes that he is the first to arrive.

The big Vesk male seems out of place in the briefing room. His glossy toxedo is not suited for combat, and you also see no weapons.

"Thank you madam. I have never worked with these others, however I trust your alghoritms. I will get my equipment and change. Can you indicate how long this mission will likely last? I have a performance next week that I would not like to need to reschedule."

It might be that you now recognize the Vesk as Baskoro 'the Magnificent', an opera singer. He turns to the others.

"Well met, I am certain we will make this mission into a great succes. Together we can do anything we put our minds to!"

I need to level Baskoro, will be done at the latest on Wednesday

Thanks for running this for us GM, I had a blast!

Gang, thanks for a great game. A special word for Kallus: you did great as a captain!

"The high end clubs!? That is magnificent!"
