Or maybe a diving date. There are some nice coral reefs on Castrovel

On the way back, Patrick attempts to ask Captain Yvyrna out on a dinner date.

day job(astrophysicist): 1d20 + 18 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 5 = 33

Patrick shows the two the images of the falls and some of the other stuff he photographed, including the oozes and the flora. Apart from that, he's got not much more to add.

Ready to move on

Probably a good idea Patrick remarks while taking images of the falls.

engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38

Patrick checks it for magic and other radiation.

None from me. I'd just like to get a better shot at that waterfall, but yes. Checking out that glowing purple thing does seem to be a good idea.

Patrick also seems to be pondering something else too.

Patrick picks up the battery, puts it back in the weapon and fires another shot at Yellow.
fzp: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 cold: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Well at least it didn't fall out this time. Gods. This is embarrassing

Red and Yellow are fire, Blue and Green are Cold. Hm. Colour coded.

He draws a Frostbite Zero Pistol, turns off the Merciful Fusion and shoots at Yellow.
fzp: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 cold: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

And the battery falls out which causes the shot to fizzle.

life science: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37

Patrick fires an Energy Ray at Green - set for cold.
rsa: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 cold: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Immunities, weaknesses and resistances

Patrick also tries to ID these things.
life science: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30

Patrick takes some photos of the falls, just in case he doesn't get another chance

I'll have a look

computers: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 v 26.

engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20

life sciences: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33

Watch out! That's toxic creeper. Highly venomous with ultra thin barbs

Patrick looks over at Omni. What's the floor made of? Can you tunnel through that?

Patrick is more interested in the tea than the bottles.
I know this tiefling who is a big fan of Abysshead, so if no one else wants them.

engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38

Huh. Someone wanted this door kept shut. Recent weld marks

Woah .. that was close.

He gains a bit more altitude then tries an Energy Ray.
ra: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 v eac. fire: 1d3 ⇒ 3

All that scuba diving Patrick does, is why he's used to zero gravity.

Another volley of force missiles impacts the remaining plant.
fb: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 4) + 3 = 11

And spends a second resolve point to hack the spell. 1d4 ⇒ 1

He grumbles at the result.

ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Whoa! How did THAT happen?

And no - I do not do fireball on general principle

Patrick full action magic missiles the blue coloured plant
fb: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3, 4) + 3 = 14

Maybe Patrick replies. I'm a theoretical physicist, not an engineer

engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

Well ... as someone once told me, take only photos, leave only footprints. Fly would be advantageous but I do not have the ability to do so, something I should have remedied by now.

He sighs, thinking of his tiefling friend who would find this extremely hilarious. Three upgrade slots in his armour and nothing in them.

Just curious ma'am. Just wondering if they occupy other planets

Ixo Syndicate. Are they just here? Or elsewhere? Relative to this planet that is.

Depends on one's definition of fun I presume

I agree with you about those old pulp novels. I've read quite a few myself when I was younger. Now it's mostly physics journals. And that waterfall seems interesting to look at. I should image it while I'm here.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Patrick has also had to deal with students, but mostly post graduates. He also used to be rather paranoid about the ladies.
sm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

He sent a text to his comrades. Rasheen using an alias?

Patrick photographs the statue and the plinth itself.

Patrick fires another volley of force bolts at Blue
fb: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2, 2) + 3 = 11

At least these will hit.

Patrick moves a bit closer along the ground and fires on blue with an old azimuth laser pistol
alp: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 fire: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

It may have been a while since he last used it too.

From the ground, Patrick fires a volley of force missiles at Blue
mm: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4, 1) + 3 = 12

He hacks one missile hack: 1d4 ⇒ 3 to make it stronger before firing - now 14 force. ((-1RP))

engineering: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22

No not really, I usually prefer magic

Given that we have no other place to go, I am in complete agreement.

Patrick records the video on his camera.

Wouldn't be the Drift Crash unless it was a similar local event ... or maybe something blew out the Drift drive and caused a cascade failure through the systems. The data recorder in the black box should tell us more

I presume we are now going to be checking out this ... two bit town then. he concludes dryly.

Patrick also takes some pictures. He seems to be rather meticulous about the settings on his camera which looks to be one of the latest models suitable for underwater photography.

Looks like the wreck has been here for roughly 250 years
And there is a second engraving carved into the hull directly opposite the ship’s name

As long as it is an archaic sword, you should be fine

Patrick makes sure all his tech gear is stowed before joining Yvyrna on the bridge to admire the view.

Well I am not sure about the divine, but things certainly get fascinating at the quantum level

Since Patrick has been attempting to intersect magic with physics, he does get interested in that.

Are they from Enereth-7? I've been actually working on many of the equations discovered there.

It's a very big kablooie. Patrick clarifies, being an astrophysicist. Basically a supernova when a massive star cannot sustain fusion and suffers a core collapse. The resulting energy blows the outer layers of the star out into space forming the nebula. As for the core, it either becomes a neutron star, or if it is massive enough, a black hole. In this case the Tabori Cluster has a magnitar at it's heart, a neutron star with a very intensive magnetic field which causes the electrical interference that Ms Yyvrna mentioned.

Hm. Pan reminds me much of several parts of Akiton actually.

Patrick knows everything up to the 25+ and prepares a presentation.

culture: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

He also asks Omni for permission to trnsxribe those equations for further study and explains what the ones he knows about are.

Patrick actually finds the ethereal music rather relaxing and asks permission to make several recordings of it. He also shows an interest in Yvyrna herself.

Once he has heard the transmission he sets to work gathering information on the Tabori Cluster and the planet of Pan.

A rather quiet and shy person enters the room, looks around, finds a chair and sits, reading and reviewing a document on his datapad. He looks like an academic, wearing formal academic clothing.

Chronicle received, applied and filed. Thanks for running.

Thank you for the offer but I already have an assigned counsellor

dayjob: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23

Maybe it is time for that vacation he has been putting off.

Patrick is also tempted to look - out of scientific curiosity of course.

life science: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33

Maybe it looks something like this

Patrick is also tempted to look - out of scientific curiosity of course.
