*Live and Die in Omega Sector* OOC

[glimmerrat]

So if I'm understanding you correctly... what you're saying is... you made out like a bandit!
(b t dubs, Zaeed is the best)

See, i'm a Wrex man myself. He's awesome. I actually misted up when Wrex and Shepherd reunite in ME2 

I should've played a Krogan...

[MilitiaJim]

I've generally preferred Garrus to Wrex, but Wrex has some great moments and some great one-liners.  Maybe I would like Wrex more if I took him with me on more missions in ME1?

Anyhow, I'm confused.  Are we discussing plots OOC, or are we having a flashback to the time we spent discussing this?

[LordKruelos]

Don't mind me, yammer away.

I'm pretty sure none of our characters are dumb enough to stand in the passageway outside the ship we're going to boost and discuss how to do it...   

[tfwfh]

LordK's previous point, that we already had 14 pages of discussion, is a good one.  I know it was very little about what we were doing, but we still spent 4 weeks talking about what we're going to do instead of actually doing it.  I'd rather just get to playing, and if that means we stand around in a hallway and bicker until something happens to make us stop, then at least something will happen to make us stop.

Or we could just decide quickly.  Our options as I see them are blow a hole in the ship or docking bay and let vacuum do the heavy lifting for us.  We still don't know what that situation is, I dislike blowing holes in the station because I can't imagine the station's residents would tolerate it.  I don't mind blowing a hole in the ship so much, we can do what we can to patch it, and then if we're keeping this ship long term, we can repair it properly when we get back.  We can try to set off the fire control system, which may or may not do what we want it to, but it does avoid blowing holes in anything.  Or we can go the deception and subterfuge route.  Blue Suns tend to only have Human, Batarian, and Turian members, which makes our little group somewhat improbably and has us relying on Yuri's acting abilities, which I think is less than ideal.  And finally we can just kick in the door and start shooting.  I hate that idea, but it is an option.

[MilitiaJim]

We can do both:  Lyssa and Zane (Zane has a sealable suit, right?) can slide out an airlock above the ship and drop down over the engine room.  Yuri, Sev, and Iriquoi can hit the airlock door.  Sev sleazes the airlock open, and they can pop life support alarms inside, then Lyssa and Zane can come in the other airlock.  If that doesn't work, Lyssa can open the engine room to vacuum, locking down the ship.  Once inside, she and Zane can let the others in, then patch the hole while we escape with the ship.

Reasonable?

Done.

Reasonable?

I think so.  I'm not sure what you mean by sleaze.  I can attempt a disguise, but my disguise kit was abandoned when I shuffled gear (other kits seemed more important).  Any sort of fast talking is best done by someone else.  Of course if you mean hack it open and deal with the guards some other way, then yeah, I can totally do that.

[glimmerrat]

You hack it open, i'll turn them into swiss cheese.

[tfwfh]

Can do.

Now I have yet another question for LordKruelos.  Is there any chance you would be willing the change the prerequisite for Schemer from I Can Swim to any other skill feat at all?  Obviously you have some time to think about this one.  And, I will be taking Schemer levels beginning at lvl 5 either way, I would just rather have a feat that I would actually use.

[MilitiaJim]

...  I'm not sure what you mean by sleaze.  ...

Hack the computer and take over the environmental systems, not violently force the door open.

I don't suppose Zane has any jets on his suit?  (Wait, that's the "technically armor but really not naked" item.  Nevermind, there aren't.)  Would an emergency "vacuum hat" count as a common item?

[LordKruelos]

Can do.

I Can Swim is maybe my favorite feat in the game, the downside is that it's less fantastically useful when you're not starting at 1st level.

[MilitiaJim]

Come to think of it, commutes are good for something, should Lyssa should be in dock to pop the airlock, and Sev should be by engineering's emergency airlock to slip in and override their computers?

[foproy]

why is everyone talking about blowing the airlocks, couldn't we just override them and force them open. aria had no love for the blue sons and in the long run probably would take care of any hatred from the rest of the station if we don't damage the place.

[MilitiaJim]

We are not talking about damaging the airlocks, least of all on the station.  The point of venting most of the air in the ship is to lock the crew in their rooms.  Another way to vent the air is to punch a hole in the ship.  I was thinking the engine room for that puncture, because when you have the engine room, you have the ship.
