Got it!! Thanks
"Right, Captain! I will contact them and set the wheels in motion." Killian moves out in his wheelchair back down to the lower city and heads to where he met the local toughs earlier today. "I have a job for you if you are interested. It should pay well enough to get medicine for all of you if needed." He lays out the contract and makes sure he emphasizes the necessity of stealth and not getting caught!
"I have met a few locals who might be interested in doing some recon for us...if the money is right. I will go and see them tomorrow and ask if you want."
I am actually enjoying the game. Perhaps it is because I am new to the scene, but I have been having fun with my character. I understand if you do not wish to continue, but I would vote to play on
DM: Would I be able to use my psi abilities to try and find this woman, or barring that, get a better look at the inside of the ship/flophouse?
Looking at Jerry, Killian answers.
"I might have a connection in the under-city who might be able to help us. I recently did a good turn for a rather enterprising fellow and his friends so they should be in a mood to help"
Killian shakes his head at the possible duplicitous nature of the Admiral. "I can ask the fellows I helped out in the undercity, but also know that the Admiral is having us followed. We need to be very careful here. If he thinks we might be cheating him, he will have no qualms about killing us all." Daneel: Sending his thoughts to the ship's mechanic, Killian says,
DM:
Killian watches to see if the Admiral leaves in the same direction that he has noted the psionically active person. If so, he will try to listen in to any conservation that they might be having, focusing on the Admiral...NoT the psi!! Killian watches the Admiral depart with some interest.
While the others are talking, Killian attempts to pinpoint the shielded person and see if the interference is natural or mechanically generated.
Killian allows them to scan him and the chair...he has nothing to hide. While they are doing this, he *scans* the building to see if any areas are *closed off* to his senses or if there are any other *gifted* individuals in the restaurant.
He was dressed in the white uniform of a graduate of the Medical Institute, with the various awards presented to him located on the left side of the overcoat he wears. The impressive sight is marred by his withered body and reclined posture in his hoverchair. "So who is this we are going to meet? And why do I have to be dressed to the nines for them?"
"Alright then...that sounds fair. I will need to go to the upper city to purchase the required drugs...that is unless you know someone down here you can supply the SuSag drugs?" He awaits Jaksin's response before leaving to head back up to purchase some of the drugs.
"Well now, this is not so bad. Just need to pop a pill and you'll be as right as rain. In the meantime, I will give you a wide spectrum anti-viral shot to help you feel better until I can locate the medicine. Now just lay back and take it easy." Killian gives her a shot as well as boosters for most of the common diseases located in this part of space. Once finished he takes Jaksin aside. "What she has is Denebian Spotted Fever. It can be deadly if untreated, but luckily there is a medicine that will make her better...the downside is she will need to continue to take this pill. It is fairly common and not too expensive, so that should be ok. The problem as I see it, however, is this disease is very contagious. You need to warn anyone near her to take the medicine as well and if it comes back, they will need to continue to take it. Do you understand?" While he waits to see if the fellow understands what he said, Killian looks up local pharmacies to see if he can get ahold of the drug.
Killian moves his chair closer to the ill woman and he removes his medkit and starts to diagnose the frail girl. "There, there now. Just lay back and let me run a few quick tests and we will see what is what!" Medic:
Killian gives the tough a warm smile. "Of course we can stop and see your cousin. Can you tell me what ails her?"
Smiling, Killian continues to speak to the thugs. "Well, that is a good start. I am a doctor and am willing to use my skills to help those underprivileged or uninsured. I would also like to go to the House without Questions and see if they could use a skilled doctor who is not asking questions, but might like some information as payment for his work." He lets the information slowly sink into the gang's thoughts, with a little added 'push' if needed with his mental abilities.
Killian shows no emotion as he speaks to the 4 toughs. "You are correct that I am looking for a guide through these warrens, but 500 credits might be too much..." He exercises his psionic skills to try and convince the thugs to take him on for free...with the possibility of pay at a later date. Telepathy-Telempathy(Routine +2):
DM: He is an old man...who can knock people out with a thought!!! :-) Or so I hope! He will see if he can "gain" a guide while going through this area...scanning surface thoughts for someone who might be willing to help...for a small donation...and who is not going to try and knife him in the back the first chance he/she gets. If he cannot locate any such person, then he will just go to the church...if that is in a somewhat safer area...or if it is easier for you...he will simply stay on the ship and use his abilities to scan thoughts of various passersby and pass on any information that might be helpful to the captain. Either works for me, though!! :-)
After hearing of the suffering of the people in the "Under City", Killian decides to visit...making it a point to visit "The House Without Question" and the "Church of the Traveller".
Killian pilots his grav-chair down onto the dock. "I am going to take a look at the medical centre here and see if I can get some replacements for our own medbay." He heads off towards wherever the medical centre is. DM: Killian will try to see if there is a community of psi wielders at this station.
Killian maneuvers his grav-chair forward into the bridge area. "All good Captain? Should medbay be preparing for visitors?" DM: While at the bridge he will scan Krrsh's mind to see what mysteries the creature might be holding back from the group
Firearms (Pistol):
Killian returned to the medical suite and speaks to the doctor who had been working on the ship. "So Doctor...tell me a little about yourself. Do you have a specialty? Anything I should be aware of with the crew?"
Killian moves back as the others start to talk to the Vargr. He busies himself with the readings and care of the low berth chamber while the dogman is questioned. DM: Killian will use his abilities to read the Vargr's mind about the whereabouts of Theev and anything else he can pick up.
Following the Captain down into the lower decks, he meets up with the current ship's doctor. While introducing each other, the Captain continues to move into the lower berth and low passage storage. "Ok, well let's take a look at his vitals and start to defrost him." Over the next few hours, both doctors work to reanimate the sleeping Vargr. Medic:
"I am sure we will not need to resort to such primitive tactics with this Vargr. I am sure he will be more than willing to help us...but that will be seen once we arrive at our destination, I suppose. Were there any specific duties you wished us to perform on the journey to Noricum? Does anyone need medical assistance, for example?" Killian moves his chair so that he can see everyone to be sure if any of them might need some assistance.
*sniff..sniff* I am not creepy....bwwwwwhaaaaaaa...ummm...ok
Killian replies with a wan smile. "No, I have no military training...but I am a very good doctor. My physical handicap keeps me from more 'strenuous activities. I am adept at computers as well!"
oops....maybe he has good hearing lol...sorry I thought that was out loud
Killian coughs loudly to try and bring the conservation back to the task at hand. "I suppose being frozen for a few centuries and lead to all sorts of odd behavior. Getting back to introductions, I am Doctor Killian Yuan of the Drinax Medical Institution. I was asked by Princess Rao to join this expedition and lend it my full support." He looks around at the diverse group trying to gauge their reaction to him. DM: He will also scan their surface thoughts to see what he can pick up. He also sends a message to Daneel.
Killian places his equipment within the medical bay and then heads for the Officer's Mess. He arrives just as Siete is telling of his past. "Yes he was in an ancient, but very advanced cryo-tube. Took a fair bit of work to figure it out and get him back on his feet! Nothing like the low berths we have today." He begins to go on a long and very technical talk of the differences between the two types of suspended animation...and will keep going joyfully until someone stops him!
Killian waits until he is shown his new quarters. "Can I see your medical bay now? I would like to stow my work gear before I settle in. Your name is...Steph? Are you our second in command?" He waits and watches the woman as she answers his many questions.
"Interesting!" Killian murmurs and gives a slight nod to the engineer.
Killian floats out of the access port and down to the deck plating of the new ship. His chair quietly makes noise as it settles to the new micro-gravitational differences between ships. "I am Squire Doctor Killian Yuan of the Drinax Medical Institute. Permission to come aboard Captain?" DM: Killian will take an unobtrusive scan of the new crew just to see what is what with them.
Killian smiles at the offer of help and nods towards a small black case sitting on the bed. "Well I have seen many strange things while working at the Medical Institute on the Palace and it leads me to believe that perhaps out here in the ruins of an ancient empire there just might be a cure to my condition...and if not, well this gives me a great opportunity to see the galaxy!" He maneuvers the grav-chair out of the room and follows Marco out to the umbilical linking the two ships. "What about you my friend? What brought you out here? Adventure...money ...or fame?"
The doctor slightly blushes at the light rebuke from his friend. "You are right, of course. It is something I will work on, but I cannot surrender my humanity...it is what makes me...me!"
Killian moves slightly allowing Siete to see the screen. "I do not believe in limiting people by their intelligence only. Some excel in scholarly pursuits, while others are more physical in their endeavours. We need all of them to make a good crew...and all are equally valuable." With a few taps, he brings up Siete's bio.
As the others watch and listen to the delayed interrogation, Killian decides to rummage around the computer system of the ship to see what he can find on their soon-to-be companions, as well as anything else he might locate. Electronics (Computer-2 + Edu-4):
Killian looks at his companions with a neutral look. "The use of violence to gain information has been shown to be untrustworthy. There are better ways to gain information. Such ideas as torture are most unbecoming of supposed 'civilized' people...would you not agree?"
Killian smiles as he listens to Siete speak of the "good old days". "Well I cannot wait to see what their medical bay is like!"
"The fastest ship you say. I wonder, do you have her schematics on hand? I would love to get an idea of what we are going to be living on for the foreseeable future!" Killian maneuvers his chair over to one of the computer stations and awaits the Captains clearance to examine the files (if there are any)
Killian chuckles at Siete's poor attempts at flirting with the Captain. "If you are not careful she will put you back into stasis...this time for medical reasons!"
Killian directs his grav-chair to the gallery and helps himself to the prepared food. "Great as always Mr. Siete." He moves over to watch the card game between the captain and scout and is about to comment on Siete's style of play when he feels a slight 'nudge' intrude on his conscience. "Umm...Captain, was there anything special about the group we are going to meet with? What are they like?"
DM: Would Killian notice the psi scan, and if he did, can he block it from at least himself?
sounds good to me...
