Rock blunts scissors. You win

*PING* That was when Katrina's comm unit went off with an incoming text.

It's Selene. Excuse me a minute

She steps away for a bit.

*Ticticticticticticityticy*

*PING*

Kat's comm unit was one of the early basic ones she picked up at Dot's curio shop in the Freemarkets. It did only calls and texts, but that was all she wanted. Unfortunately it had annoying sounds which couldn't be changed.

*PING*

*ticticticticticticticticticticticlitytictic*

*PING*

*tictictictictictictictictictic .... tic tictictic*

*PING*

A few exchanges of texts later .....

No, apparently he's not her boyfriend, they're just good friends, and her patient but she sent me a few pictures he took of her underwater in the hotel pool and she wants me to join her in an underwater photoshoot that he's shooting. I said yes. I could do with up to date pics for my socials. She also suggested I resume my studies of marine biology and conservation if I do retire after this. Might ask Sunny to shoot the 'behind the scenes' video of the photoshoot for the vlog.

I got this book Katrina said, producing a book titled The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Azlanti Empire But I suppose I should get a tetrad translator - I don't know Azlant.

But I guess I'll do that after the mission briefing

She looks over to Maverick and grins.

Rock, Scissors Paper for the pilot seat? Unless they assign us a Drake - then you can have it.

*ponders* Oh, at least I think he's her boyfriend, I know they went to a conference together on Castroval and shared a room, but that might have been because accommodation was tight. Apart from that ... I dunno. He was one of her patients so maybe they're keeping it professional.

But yeah. It was during the month of Kuthona. For the First Choices holiday, she sent me a plushie mermaid as an apology gift for being a total douchbag as she put it when we parted - we .... had a bit of a shouting match. And then when I saw her in that rather tightfitting outfit during the Newspark Parade, I realised how stupid I had been for letting her go for so long so I invited her to our family Reunion gathering. Well one thing led to another and ... yeah ... we're back together. I've been trying to talk her into getting gill implants like mine

Katrina nods The Forum was a bit abuzz about that, that's why I'm here. Besides, this could be my last hurrah before retiring - and I wanna delay that as long as possible.

She looks into Neroo's eyes. Wanna talk about it? Or to my sister? - she works as a Dream Interpreter.

She pauses for a bit. Or to my sister's current boyfriend's psychologist?

Better since then to be honest. I made up with an old classmate and we're now back together and I've taken up vid blogging as well. She hugs back. I should get one of those camera drones - waterproof of course .... oh I also bought some watercraft. Had a wonderful time on Vesk-2 with Big Jim, Sunny and Selene.

Sure. I'm willing to give it a go. I've been flying starships for at least the last seven years. I've got thousands of hours under my belt - mostly in the Pegasus class. I was in both Jinsul campaigns

Besides, we can keep RPing while we wait.

I'm okay with that.

Hey .. yeah ... likewise. And I've been meaning to sign up for one of your courses too

Katrina is wearing formfitting green armour - Plexigrass Body Suit !!!.

Best armour I could get. Like it?

She pirouettes so Maverick can see it from all amgles.

Katrina frowns at her comm unit then goes back to watching an episode of Jim's Jams

Can we RP in here while we wait?

How close are you to finishing Beta? I can wait - especially if it's Big Jim.

We may as well start somewhere. You in Tiffany?

Katrina looks over to Tiffany.

So .... when do you wanna go clubbing. I got a VIP pass to the Starlight, and there's this zero gravity place Gunnz recommended that I've been wanting to check out.

A little later on she looks at her bank balance.
Holy guacamole batgirl. What am I gonna do with all these credits?

She also levels up to 13

profession(mermaid): 1d20 + 23 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 23 + 4 + 1 = 48

A slightly shaken Katrina goes to find and consume that frozen coke left on the bar.

Well let's see how they like dubstep

She lets the daemon have it with her thunderstrike sonic pistol

Taking 10 for 36 - tricking CR 16-
utsp: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20 sonic: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
trick damage: 6d8 ⇒ (6, 4, 8, 7, 4, 4) = 33

Now she can see what is going on Katrina tries to identify the monster.
mysticism: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31

Hey! Unfair.

will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Oh you're ON Katrina exclaims.

She starts ducking and weaving to avoid being crushed.
acrobatics: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (16) + 26 = 42

will: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 2 = 10

will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Katrina hurries in to free those patrons.

This isn't right she exclaims.

Katrina catches the frozen coke.

Pronk! I thought this thing was fixed

She acrobatically moves to line up a shot on the remaining projection.
Taking 10 for 36 - tricking CR 16-
uphc: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35 electricity: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 7) + 6 = 16
trick damage: 6d8 ⇒ (8, 5, 2, 7, 1, 7) = 30

Choco-milk is my go to comfort drink Katrina shoots back And yeah .... I drank it a lot as a kid. GAAAAAH! Fricken thing SHOT me

She takes a retaliatory trick shot at Purple.
Taking 10 for 36 - tricking CR 16-
uphc: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17 electricity: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (5, 3) + 6 = 14
trick damage: 6d8 ⇒ (1, 2, 5, 6, 5, 2) = 21

Her aim is obviously way off.

Personally I'd rather be lazily floating underwater ... and I'm going to after this ... but if choco-milk helps, then that's what I'm having

Mind you, the frozen Coke on the bar looked tempting.

Katrina moves to the first lashunta and attempts to free them.
mysticism: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

Katrina, feeling more rested, but still annoyed, has her weapon in one hand and half a decent choco drink in the other.

Who in the Nine Hells is Amalg? she exclaims. And no. I'm rather attached to mine

She then downs the rest of the choco drink and moves towards the trapped lashunta.

Tell you what Xiffeny. When this is done, I'll show you some of my favourite places. I'm supposed to be getting out and meeting people too

Katrina, relieved that Xiffany is okay, lies back on a seat.

I really need ten .... or maybe a choco drink from the vending machine - none of those imitation el-cheapo ones though - they're horrible

Katrina removes her headset then goes looking for Xiffany

computers: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (19) + 22 = 41
fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Katrina uses her jet pack to fly back and pick Neroo up to carry her over.
fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

perception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37

I know the feeling Xiffany Katrina replies sadly.

I think, if I survive this, I might end up having therapy on your couch sis. The nightmares are going to be ugly

acrobatics: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (15) + 26 = 41
fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

I dunno. Technically we're surrounded by code. Heck. Even these bodies are code. It might be a long shot but keep an eye for glitches. Might be something we can exploit.

I don't know Xiffany ... this game isn't what it seems to be. You'd better stick close to us

If I can somehow get into the code itself ... I might be able to figure it out. Used to be a rather reclusive computer kid nerd before I joined the Starfinders .... especially after I lost my family behind the Godshield ... the main reason I signed up actually when I was old enough

While she's talking, she changes the battery in her handcoil for a fresh one.

So ... what prompted you to join the game as well?

Katrina has another go at the plant.

Taking 10 for 36 - tricking CR 16-
uphc: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25 electricity: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 1) + 6 = 15
trick damage: 6d8 ⇒ (8, 6, 5, 5, 5, 6) = 35

Katrina goes for a trick attack on Audrey II the squox killer plant.

Taking 10 for 36 - tricking CR 16-
uphc: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 electricity: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 1) + 6 = 15
trick damage: 6d8 ⇒ (2, 5, 3, 6, 5, 3) = 24

Xiffany Jenkins? That never goes well Katrina has played enough MMORPGS to know that.

She double moves up the steps then over the plains to duck behind a shrub.

That's not Xiffany is it?

I could certainly do with a snooze Katrina admits.

A quick snooze later and the tribe of squoxes are off again.

What if we just stay here and do nothing? But, I'd personally be looking for an underwater tavern with lots of ..... erm .... water clad mermaids

Katrina follows Neroo and attempts to do the same.

What's the feedback like from your followers?

What? She starts to look very worried. I think it's time to get out of here

What's this ... are they targeting me or something?

She takes a guarded step back and fires.

uphc: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 16 + 1 = 26electricity: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 6) + 6 = 19

Katrina doesn't believe in shooting at a fleeing opponent so she just waits to see if they come back.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

She takes a guarded step back, draws a weapon and fires. It turns out to be her underwater pilot handcoil.

uphc: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30 electricity: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 6 = 14

Katrina looks cautiously at the daisies, delaying while trying to figure out what is going on.

Wasn't the objective something that can relieve stress? Katrina-squox asks Cause it seems to be working a bit ... although, yeah ... been waiting for the other shoe to drop.

How's the streaming going Neroo?

Katrina goes in the hut, rests, exits with a full watering can and waters the seed again.
