"Plan B, plan B!" Xic looks for voice recordings of the captain on the system, captain's logs, birthday calls, anything, and quickly tries to scrap together a believable version of the following to be played off the intercom. "Tim. Stand down. Work with them."
"Fire suppression, huh? Well, it worked last time..."
"I'mSorryI'mSorryI'mSorryI'mSorry!" Xic would rather not infringe on this creature's individual rights by trying to shut it down through the ship's systems. Still, it's preferable to trying to blast this poor loyal robot to bits. There appears to be a panel in front of him, and he gets to hacking.
"I'm something of an android's rights activist myself, do you want I should try and break the news gently to them?" Xic doesn't really speak verbally, but you can tell that he's picked up on whispering, even if it is telepathic. Everyone can also tell that he has no idea what he'd say here.
Xic, hopelessly oblivious to the tension occurring inside the cramped quarters, keeps watch outside, hoping no more horrific energy beings manifest out of the ether to attack the parties delicate flesh again.
"Some kinda janky code, I could best describe it as a big ol' plate of spaghetti. I can do a more thorough search if you want, although if more plasma gremlins pop out of the woodwork it might be hard to get anything done."
"Rightio, let me take a crack at this!"
"Nopenopenopenopenope!" Xic takes a 5ft step back, and fires again at red.
He grimaces as his shot goes wide. "Anyone know what these things are? I definitely didn't learn about them in school!"
"Nope nope nope nope!" Xic spends a move action with his exocortex to analyze the movement of the red spookum, and fires his Azimuth at the critter.
"Not at all, Xic says sarcastically, hands only shaking slightly as he keeps his gun at the ready
Xic will stand nervously by the door, preferably near a console, with his blaster drawn. Last time he walked into a room, he needed to use a fire extinguisher on a laser-proofed plant beast.
"More laser proof things? Because I didn't pack any acid launchers."
"Well that's a bit scuffed. We should leave this poor fellow alone." Xic pauses for a second. "Oh! Wait, maybe they know something! Any cred left on that stick?"
"No thanks." Xic says between bites of yet another R2E, "I already ate."
"Guess looking under things can pay off after all!" Xic picks up the credstick, and hands it to Chasey. "Sill though, we are paid by the hour, right? Shouldn't waste the bossman's time."
Xic is already eating some of the R2E's as people mill about.
I'm in that game. It ground to a halt pretty quickly. Chose to play a laborer android with big bolted on armor who didn't wear clothes, but was a big hunk of metal, not your standard bio-circuitry android. I'll admit that I've had my creative differences, but I'd really rather not speak ill of anyone; especially if they aren't here.
Welcome! I'm pretty new here myself, but it's always fun to meet new people!
"Hadn't really planned to fight laser proof beasties..." Xic dashes over to the closest terminal, unsure of
"Linyf! It's a Linyf! Weaknesses weaknesses... why didn't I do my homework in Plants of the Galaxy?" [ooc]In case it wasn't clear, I'd like to hear about it's weaknesses ")[/b]
"What in the blood-soaked cranthorian breeding pits is that?"
Exocortex move action to give full bab against this thing, and then fire the ol' Azimuth Laser Riffle at this thing.
Package. Neat."
"Huh. Xic looks down at his own armor, poking around at some of the buttons. "Whaddya know? I guess I installed a flashlight on my armor as well. Weird that I forgot that, but I guess I'm not complaining!"
"Oh, the young Shirren says, nervously. "I mean, I managed to pick up this pretty swanky gun, and in theory my exocortex helps me aim but... well no time like the present to find out if it works properly, right?"
"I'm a software engineer by trade, a hacker by talent. I might know the programs that the doors and ventilation systems use. Hell, I might have helped design upgrades to them. Let me see what I can remember..."
"Honored to meet you as well Sir." Xic replies to Yoro in technically accurate, but very formal and accented Vesk, and doing his best to imitate the traditional greeting with only two arms. I'm pretty well rested," he continued in common, "but my family always used to say that my ability to fall asleep at will was a blessing!" The Shirren laughs, then looks slightly pained. "In any case, I'll spend some time this evening seeing if I can dig further into the station. The fact that there's nothing at all coming up with a preliminary scan is intriguing. And somewhat telling."
"Don't worry Mr. Bubs, I know my worth, but I work pretty cheap compared to some of the two bit conmen you run into around Honest Mike's Discount Computers.
The Shirren closes his eyes briefly, and reaches out with his exocortex.
Welp! I was supposed to make a post tonight and I haven't heard any differently, so here I am! I expect that there's a decent chance that I might have met any one of you. I know that +13 isn't the absolute highest that you can pump a skill at level 1, but I feel pretty good about Xic's computer skills :) He works pretty cheap, so maybe he's done work for some of you before? Xic doesn't have a whole lot of social skills in terms of diplomancy, intimidate, bluff, etc., but he is a likable guy, very earnest. He'd probably at least recognize Thuldas from the scrapyard; they both have a fondness for fiddling with things and making stuff. Any sort of project that needs more than one computer/engineering person might have led Anton and Xic to have worked together in the past. Moxie, I really like the idea that you might have busted Xic in the past, considering that he's not actually all that great at being a criminal :)

Background!:
Xic didn't start out living under the Patina. He was born to a realitively wealthy family, and had mostly finished his higher education when his life changed. He had never known what his parents had done, any of the three of them. All he knew is that they owned mass production factories off station. He spent most of his time utilizing his parent's wealth to increase his knowledge of computers. Imagine his surprise then, that when he decided to stress test his parent's security systems as a surprise birthday present, that he found evidence that the labor his parent's used was illegal android slavery. Disgusted with their violation of Shireen principals, as well as their violation of common decency, he disavowed them, and resolved to work to bring his family company down. That was 5 year ago.
Now, Xic has to make a living for himself. He sells his services as a computer expert to anyone who can pay for them, but is trying to land a job in an actual software firm. He feels he owes it to other androids, and often offers to do repairs or favors to androids who are down on their luck. This often leaves Xic running low on funds, and resorting to less savory jobs to get some quick funds. In particular, Xic often ends up finding himsel coming back to SIJ's place. (Sensitive Infiltration Juggernaught) SIJ owns a bar below the gallery. More importantly though, SIJ uses that bar as a base of opperations for his quasi-legal (and sometimes just straight illegal) opperations. SIJ knows about Xic's connections to android slavery, and often utilizes guilt to bring him back into the fold, getting him to falsify documents, move shipments, or even just hack into enemy gang's computers. SIJ knows not to press Xic too hard to something that goes against his nature, but every time, the android pushes the young Shirren a little closer to fully committing to a life of crime... Don't mean to step on anyone's toes by making a hacker, I'd love to share the limelight of computers with others! |
