"I suppose you're probably right." Shujae murmurs as she thinks on the idea. "Avoiding a direct confrontation is certainly preferable. I think Staim could probably scout out locations for us so we know where they are if they are hiding."

"That's an Imp, its immune to fire and resistant to cold acid and poison among possibly other things, it'll also heal any damage we do so focus it down when we attack it!" Shujae calls out before moving behind Vilo for cover and ordering staim to draw his Static Arc pistol. Master Control: As a move action, you can directly control your drone. This allows the drone to take both a move action and any standard action this turn (one from your control, and one from its limited AI). If you also take a swift action, your drone can take a swift action as well, or it can combine its actions into a full action. Your drone must be able to see or hear you, or be within range of your custom rig, for you to directly control your drone.
No worries, Also I should be back to regular posting now, though I may miss a day or two in the next two weeks due to spotty internet at my parent's house.
Hey, sorry I’ve been unreliable recently, but unfortunately for the next two weeks or so that will likely continue, I have a bit of a family emergency, nothing too terrible though, after that I should be fully active again though I understand if that is an issue. I will still try to make posts at a reasonable rate but may not be able to. Feel free to not me if needed. I am sorry for any inconvenience.
Shujae would be okay with leaving staims longarm behind but that would leave staim without a weapon, and I currently don't see a pistol that is unclaimed. if others are planning to bring weapons then Staim will bring his as well.
Shujae Level 2 +1 BAB, +1 to both reflex and Fort saves +6 HP, +6 SP --Portable Power [You can use your custom rig to supply limited power for up to 1 minute to a computer or starship system that lacks power. If this system is part of a much larger network, this trick does not supply power to the entire network, just to a limited point of access (typically a terminal), which might greatly limit functionality. Once you have used portable power on a system, you cannot do so again on that system for 24 hours.] --8 skill ranks Staim's info to come
Forgone conclusions seem to be a recurring problem in her ideas but I suppose that is true of a large number of nonresearchers hypothesis. DCI at least seems worth taking a short look into later. Shujae silently ponders as Nib goes on about it. though she doesn't expect to find much. "Zharis is right this isn't what we came here for but with all of it going on we can't exactly continue what we did come here for. If you think that this is the best way to get back to the mission then I think we should at least try."
I love Social characters, and especially love when they are able to be used to avoid conflict. In-game it also works well because I know that I don't want citizens to die for their ideology if it isn't closely held.
Shujae will take notes on any security systems she can see and try to copy down a blueprint map as best she can from what they see.
"I think that this could very quickly become volatile and nearly impossible to escape from if we snuck in and became trapped so I would advocate for the direct approach.
"Agreed Xylian, anything important to either of you we should probably bring with, there may not be an apartment to come back to."
Shujae begins to act as she did last time but not with as much force and Staim steadies her much more easily this time. "Though I'd like to interfere in their aid I understand the society of our goal."
Shujae lets out a breath she had been holding for what felt like an eternity. "Thank you Zharis. Clearly, these people weren't set on their rash course of action." She then moves over to the family. "I'd get out of here for the moment until things calm down. I wish we could escort you but it seems fate has taken us deeper into the belly of the beast. I'm sorry for everything that has happened."
"Vilo, I know this is your place to steer us away but, I just know this isn't right. we have to do at least something to help!" Shujae calls out as staim moves to her side and holds her.
As Shujae walks with Taeress and the rest she hears mention of the little better than conspiracy theorists and pipes up, "I know a few like that too, groups like that pipe up as the unseemly underbelly of all proper scientific endeavors it seems. do you happen to have any of the Deep Culture Institutes papers, I just always like to look into them. obviously not until later.
Shujae will offer once more "You're severely outnumbered and it appears possibly outmatched as well. it is truly in your best interest to surrender." as she readies another shot but holds it to give time for him to surrender Readyed action: If the Shirren takes hostile action Shujae will attack
Shujae moves slightly to get a clear line of fire on Lux before firing her pistol at their leg
I am. Drafting a post now, Sorry.
Shujae will accompany Zharis with staim to function as a touch of reassurance and security.
”Yes, there is a hesper hiding in the right engine core, they have been passive since we had an altercation with them yesterday but they may come out after seeing newcomers.”
"As I see it the stationmaster will probably have dealt with this type of creature before, she's seen a lot of ships, and if memory serves they aren't that uncommon." Shujae will say as she joins Zharis and Xylia in the medbay
yeah, I figure its a sort of intended miss-match, they didn't expect we'd see much resistance but obviously, they were wrong so we will have to develop those skills on the job.
"The Asmoth Institue is far more than just some University, they have professional research divisions historical documentarians state of the art scientific innovation an Osharian head of worship for Yaraesa as well as numerous outposts to monitor areas of scientific interest." Shujae says in a rehearsed tone back through the comm unit before continuing forward.
As she enters the washroom she takes interest in the multi-function stalls and takes down a few notes thinking even if this design may be flawed the idea could be used in a better form elsewhere.
"Thank goodness the vacuums pull was only as strong as it was. I don't know how well we would have faired if all of us were pulled into it."
Shujae will ask through the comms [/b]"Did you get a good recording of that for me to take notes from later?[/b] as she starts taking notes well its fresh in her mind regardless of their response.
"No, I don't think this was expected to happen, I don't think it was bumped, seems to graceful for that" Shujae starts.
"I think we all may be a bit outside of the "Norm" for typical spacefarers but I don't see that as a reason to change." Shujae says shrugging.
Shujae drops her weapon at Staims feet and will use her action to give staim a move.
Shujae will pull out her pistol and fire at the elemental on Zharis.
Staim will be readying an attack should anything not immune to fire present itself.
"I'll bet whatever is giggling scattered the contents of those cabinets, they have latches so it wouldn't be from normal movement." Shujae will whisper.
"STAIM!" Shujae shouts as the arm reaches out to pummel him when she sees it make contact a noticeable fire lights in her eyes which she puts first towards identifying the creature and then to taking sight down her pistol.
As she wracks her brain one thing keeps coming up again and again, the nanobots, this must be an assembly ooze. she calls out almost to quickly to be understood, "Its an assembly ooze, we can't flank it but we can short circuit its systems with a jolt of electricity use that if you can" She then pulls her pistol and fires
"Yeah, it looks like those "Spa" Jets are designed for creatures like our Azer friend. they shoot out real fire."
Shujae looks over to Staim as though looking for approval, Staim nods, and Shujae then turns to the stationmaster and adds "So long as you forward any relevant information to Pabaq it sounds like a fine trade to me!"
"I think turning this over to well equipt professionals so it can be observed and information can be gleaned from it is by far the better call, but I understand if you all disagree." Shujae says just barely louder than a wisper
[/b]"I can see about a more in-depth scan but that would probably be best done from our ship. for the moment I'd like to see why all these tools around the engine were shifted into these patterns."[/b] as she says that Shujae will move next to the starboard engine again and look out to see if it is a hidden message she can decipher or anything she can make sense of.
after that, she will move over to the blackened port engine and look to see if she can figure out what happened to it.
"Hopefully." Shujae will say as she once again rushes to the starboard engine. and tries to diagnose the problem. Staim rushes up behind her and sets to work handing her different instruments to look at the engine.
Shujae meanwhile will ready an action to shut the door should the hesper approach or attack.
"If you'd prefer I think Staim might be a better target for its ire, I have a copy of his systems processes on file so leaving his body would be far less disastrous than leaving yours should it come to that." Shujae will offer as she looks nervously at Staim.
"I'd assume talking to it through the closed door would be the best idea, then it might lower its adrenaline to let us actually talk to it instead of at it." Shujae will say "Though I think that would push us dangerously close to our time limit."
Edit: Wait, its 1 minute in starfinder, I think we can do that.
"I mean, I can't guarantee it but it seems extraordinarily likely.
Shujae will dart out of the room.
Seeing the intended plan Shujae will move back into the corner of the room still armed with her handaxe and call out "Take a parting shot then leave, this isn't worth our time!" to Staim
Shujae holding her handaxe in one hand will move over to staim pull out her pistol and drop it to the floor hoping to arm him with something that can harm this creature.
No complaints from the peanut gallery!
