Seems this Pazi made their living off a dying world, and either convinced themselves that it was meant to be; or this was a angry attempt to get back at society as they can no longer benefit from Lojak’s emminance destruction.”

”Something that large would be under tight security I assume, so the operation would have been well planned. This narrows down the list and manner of in which it could have been stolen. I have some training in securing locations. additionally, even if they had someone capable of carrying it for short bursts, they will have needed a craft to carry it long distances, which means we know the lanes in and out of the city they would have to use.”

"I believe I have found a flaw in this game . . . why would anyone ever move?"

How tall are the walls of the track? Could I just stay in my current position and snipe penguins from my car, or do I have to be next to them?

So I need to strike a Plasma penguin to get the point? Like with a weapon? Wonder how this works.

CTU reaches out as he turns his car around and clotheslines the Penguin.

Sorry guys, with the holidays, I completly forgot about this, it just dropped through the cracks, I'm back though, if you'll have me.

Looks like success, Leo moves back 10 feet

CTU straps in.

"Daskar, one potential safety issue, some enterprising individual could easily remove the safety restraints if they wished and get out and walk the track . . . perhaps signage warning them not to do so?"

CTU will drive hoverskiffs full of supplies.
Piloting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Then he will fit into tight spaces to try and reach those hard-to-reach places to aid with station assembly.

"I'm not terribly hungry right now, but I will indulge you. The Skittermanders have a food called 'six-arm surprise.' I think it is a casserole of whatever is left in the fridge, but it inevitably has the same consistency. It's often made on long-haul spaceflights to the vast, or on the return trip, using whatever ingredients haven't been used up on earlier parts of the journey."

CTU sits down. "I . . . uh . . . I'm from the Veskarium. We . . . did not have an amicable relationship. I'd rather not discuss it. But we did just return from a mission to an ice moon, where we made contact with a previously unknown sentient ancestry."

CTU looks at the garland. "Curious, but evidentially useful" and will wear it.

CTU will go buy some more battery packs, completely blowing off the reservation for the spa.

"Diplomatic mission . . . not . . . not sure I am programmed for that . . ."

"Oh." Blake checks his notes real quick. "Yes, if the ysoki did hide on the Pegasus before our launch. If he is not either here, on VAM-723, or on the Pegasus 2, you might want to get in touch with Captain Daskar Kopalake of... Hold on. I have it here somewhere for sure. If not, it's in the Pegasus logs.

I don't think the ship's name was mentioned, but I would share if we know it. We scanned it, so I assume some IFF data was shared.

"So yeah, we did meet another ship on the way. Tux might have decided to join their crew to help them. They had some technical issues they needed help with."

”They also said something about wanting to visit the Vlaka homeworld.”

"Sir, we did figure out the confusion there. There was, or is, indeed a civilization on the planet. Evidently when they got Triune's signal, they were . . . reticent to put their bodies on the line for exploration. So they devised a . . . I don't know what to call it. An astral projection device. The specifics are . . . beyond me, but evidently something went wrong and it trapped the collective intelligence of the beings in some sort of interstellar void. Their bodies remained on the planet, but as, effectively, mindless animals. We reversed the damage of the mirror and their intelligence has been returned to them. At least that's what I got from the encounter, not sure I understood all of it."

Thanks for running this Grim!

Reroll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
”There are, ehem, far more than five civilizations. The, Ves-, uh, well the solar system I am from has four civilizations. . . Sort of. And there are more solar systems with more civilizations. As for piloting, I mean, you could learn, but I may not be the best teacher.”

Not going to hero point, everyone else is doing well, and I'd need a 15 or better on a D20 to succeed, so pretty unlikely.

"My . . . creators did not get the signal, but others did, such as Blake and Leopold's people."
"There are many planets, some are scary, some are not."
"We, or our civilizaitons, built a ship that can traverse the stars. I didn't build the ship of course, though I can pilot it."

CTU sits down to get at the creature’s level. ”Yes, they are aware I was artificially constructed. The species that made me are. . . CTU catches himself and takes a moment to compose. ”They are called Vesk. There are no Vesk here, but they are flesh and blood, like you.”

Society: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Unable to understand what is going on, CTU will replace the battery pack in their laser rifle, then put it away.

"I must apologize, all of this is beyond my created perimeters. The Veskarium never even got the signal."

“Interesting . . . Obviously sentient advanced creatures were here if they constructed this. Any sign who?”

Is anyone trained in nature or life sciences lore?

With no one else volunteering, CTU starts recording his observations, despite not being trained in such things.

Small, marsupial-like creatures who are evidentially adapted to the cold. Have sentient-or near-sentient levels of intelligence. At least one had a headband that allowed emotional communication, which it offered to us as a group. They have displayed little to no aggressive signs so far.

Not trained in Nature, so can't roll them :(

Big Red takes to the air and looks for shelter...
Perception 1d20+5

At the newly located shelter, he looks for materials to build a fire.
Survival 1d20

"Anyone more used to camping?"

Looks like we just need a Dc12 Survival/Wis check

”Survival was not part of my programmed training regimens, and I was not permitted to leave the complex in the Veskarium.”

”Whoever is documenting these little furry dudes should probably document the larger enemies as well.”

CTU will Step back, draw his laser rifle, and shot at blue once

[ooc]Wow, not a single roll over 10[/dice]

"Well," Blake chimes in. "it actually concerns me a bit. Since it brought and offered the headband, the critter seems to understand how it works, knows where to find it and how to use it. Am I the only one here troubled by this?"

"Arvin said there are no signs of sapient life, but that doesn't seem to be the case. What if the predators here function with a similar level of intelligence?"

He looks around, scanning the area for other creatures. Creatures potentially hiding with intent.

"At the very least, it indicates that there are manufactured items on this planet. This band is clearly either machined here or brought here. Even if it is a simple metal band with no electronics and magically enchanted, it indicates someone is here.

However, it could have been brought here, this creature may not be native to this planet. I agree we should be on alert, but keep our minds open to all possibilities.:

CTU will examine the band more thoroughly. Does it look biological, technological, or like, is it woven from sticks and grass?

”Is no one going to write down some notes on this little guy? I have no training no training in such things”

I have -1 charisma and none of those skills trained, so I’m electing to not make things worse with a critical failure.

”Is anyone trained in exobiology? Someone who knows what they are talking about should take notes.”

”I am sorry; I was not trained in wilderness survival, this is all new to me. Wish I could help more.”

If CTU is bothered by sleeping here, CTU isn’t showing signs.

In the morning CTU begins re-prepping for snow travel.
