"We did notice what is more or less a pile of scrap on the way in. Why don't you accompany us out of here, show us to the logs, and we can get you off this rock? We can even visit Livewire!" Raia offers with a beaming smile. AAAAAAHHHHH if we have an ettin on our ship, I can ask it all sorts of questions!
"What is going on here? Explain yourselves!" Raia demands, not really sure how to go about this conversation. She lowers her pistol, but keeps it out in the open.
Player Name: Gummy Bear
"I'll have to return the favor!" she shouts at the ettin that wounded her and her allies. Why must everything turn to violence? Then she has an idea. "Livewire misses her hairless monkey!" I really hope this is the creature that ysoki was talking about... Is the one head a different person? Or the same? What a fascinating way to live.
Rolls:
"See anything of use? Looks like it's all been pretty thoroughly looted. What about that light over there?" Raia asks as she cranes her head trying to see it. "Can we go that way first?"
A little nervous, Raia holds her pistol at the ready and waits for one of the more combat inclined of her friends to step in before following them.
"It's making more sense, but... ummmm... I think this is the combination?" Raia stutters, not entirely confident in her abilities to produce the right sequence.
"I have just the thing!"Raia exclaims as her eyes light up, interested in this new language. She begins to weave an intricate spell with the aid of her technology.
"How about those double doors that the big goblin was standing in front of?" Once they are in position to enter it, she unlocks the door.
"...since I have control over the computer, does that make me the new glowing green goddess?" Raia says, giggling a little at the thought. "It looks like the signal we are looking for is originating from the basement level of this compound. I'll silence all the relevant alarms to help mask our travel. I'd also like to lock all the doors and put us in control of the area. Any objections?" she asks, looking at each party member.
"I'll see if I can get it to function at all!" Raia says as she begins typing away into the mainframe.
"How sad... What a wretched way to go..." Raia says quietly as they begin to explore the area.
Raia stifles a little laugh as the goblins explain the miracles of their new god. "I'm more interested than ever! Let's see what we need to do to get in. Care to lead the way Quig? Iseph? Sounds like your area of expertise!" She waits patiently to follow her technologically minded friends to the investigate the door.
"And what else can you tell us about this green glowing god?" Sounds like something is pulling the wool over these creature's eyes...
Hearing cries for mercy and only seeing one target left, Raia runs out into the open and takes a shot at the remaining hostile goblin. "Leave those two be! We can sort out their honesty later," she calls out. No need to spill the blood of those who wish peace! They may even be able to help us! Unfortunately, her split focus isn't enough and the shot strikes a stray piece of wreckage, causing loud reverberations to course through it.

Raia quickly follows Keskodai to cover. "We're coming! Double back if you need to!" she calls out. ________
She jumps a little in surprise as a text appears in her field of view. It takes her a moment, but she eventually figures out how to pull up the holokeyboard and begins typing away. Suddenly, Quig's Comm Unit is inundated with messages. "This is so cool!" "Goblins are new for me! More lifeforms would be fantastic!" "How long would it take for a superstructure to appear like a moon?" "How does your drone work? I've never seen anything quite like it!" ________
Raia stays with Quig and his drone. "What do you think we will find out here?" she inquires of her furry companion. She nervously looks around, anticipating something bad too happen now that some of the group has split off.
"That's a decent amount of goblins. How do we want to handle this?" Raia responds. We aren't too out numbered, but a plan is always useful!
"Looks like a good place to start. Who wants to take point?" Raia says as she activates her own Environmental Protections and draws her pistol. If those goblin fighters launched from this moon, can't be too careful! ________
"I wish we didn't have to resort to violence, but I must agree, space combat is kind of fun..." Raia admits, embarrassed at her confession. "Let's land this thing and get going!"
"YES!" Raia shouts in the gunnery station. Eager for more, she prepares the systems again, should the goblin fighter end up on her side of the ship.
Gunnery:
Focus Raia, focus! Peace can't always be found, sometimes fighting is the only way. As much as I hate to admit it... She pushes the comm button. "Nice work Quig, shields are better than the hull!" Then she lines up another shot, should the opportunity arise.
Gunnery:
"I hit him!" Raia exclaims, eager for more success with her team. "We've got them now!" Gunnery:
Maybe this time I'll get a chance! Determined to be useful, Raia stands ever ready at her gunnery controls. "Keep it up everyone, we got one!" she calls through the comm. Gunnery:
"Wait up Keskodai!" Raia calls out as she follows him to the gunnery station. "I'll take this side, you take that one!" she says as she pulls up the targeting for one of the smaller guns. ________

+6 to shooting, +15 to computers
So do the Science Officers get another roll towards something? I'll happily roll again if so! I'll look at options just in case. If I'm slowing things down, feel free to bot me. I'm still getting the feel for space combat and learn through example.
I agree. My intention was to get a good scan off to start and then go where is needed afterwards.
"Goblins? I've never encountered those before!" Raia remarks, trying to contain a squeal of excitement at interacting with a new lifeform. Now if only they weren't trying to kill us... Refocusing, she works away at her computer station, trying to scan the ships for as much information as she can get! Science Officer’s Rolls
"I see, when we complete our mission, I will do my best to see what I can do with the warden." On the ship, Raia is content to let Navasi explain their progress.
"Certainly, if we find him I will pass on your message. Would you mind describing this fellow?" Raia asks, ready to note down Livewire's description. "What crime were you convicted of? I can put in a good word, but words can only do so much considering your actions."
Rolls:
"If you use them sparingly, you can stretch them out for even longer," Raia adds in.
"That's right! Would you be willing to speak to the role you had during your own expedition as well?"
Right out the gate and someone is already trying to play us... I suppose funding is hard enough to come by, but you'd think that is something this Society would have known beforehand. This could be quite the wrench in our plans! "Sounds reasonable enough, let's get going with that tour then!" There are likely to be all sorts of life forms in this place!
________
Fascinating creatures, AND IS THAT ONE A COMPOSITE HIVEMIND?! Incredible! Wait.. is that...food? Raia then catches on that the Warden is expecting them to consume the offered food and drink. Don't want to insult our host... She begins eating the food, but is entirely unable to stop her face from grimacing. By the time she completes the meal, she has only gagged once, but VERY loudly. This is not what I signed up for... After a moment, she tries to address the Warden's question and hopefully keep focus away from the food. "I am not an investigator in the traditional sense, but I do have a passion for learning about and discovering new life forms! While at university..." Raia proceeds to talk at length about a few of her favorite species that she learned about while on Qabarat.
Rolls:
"Aptly named! Tomorrow morning at dawn, let's be off! Luwazi, I am honored to be a part of this team and the Victoria Luna's Maiden voyage."
Raia's eyes go wide at the mention of their pay. Quite the sum there, future work with this Society seems well worth it... I'll let the rest of this mission decide for sure. "Thank you for your funds and advice. If you all are ready, let's be on our way."
"High security? What do we know about this prisoner? Do we know anything about the moon? I understand we are the first team, but surely we have some idea of what it is."
Lounging on a couch is a lashunta woman, fiddling with her antenna. "Nice to meet you all, I am Raia. Technomancer."
