[Icefire2314]

Private to Miya:
Is the UWM here, as in this area? Or just on the planet? Do we have any intelligence on them?

[Parisbre56]

Flint was glad his faceplate was down so that nobody could see him smile.
Heh. Maybe Lars should had studied a bit before accepting this job. Then again, honesty is the best policy, so in a way-
Huh? What's going on?
Damn. I knew it couldn't be that easy.
Get ready.
If it seems appropriate, get up, get into Gilgamesh, make sure he's battle ready and survey the area with cam-eyes.
Else, ask Steve if he has any idea what's going on and what they're talking about.

@Lars: "I'm ready to offer protection."

Private to Miya:

"Yes, the UWM is in the area, though we don't know how strong their presence currently is. We don't know a lot about them honestly, so be ready for anything."

[Nikitian]

Finish the meal politely. Be respectful of their traditions - I suppose hands are to be washed again after the meal?
Suit up and get ready.
With a slightly detached and melancholic expression and usual wide warm smile on his face, Maurice put on the suit gloves and fixed up the attachment mechanism. The helmet followed soon afterwards.
Over the comms: On your command.

(Given how scarce water is on this planet, it may actually be customary not to do so.)

Renen talks in private with Miya.

Maybe we should offer them to a way to get the citizens out of this planet very fast too. They seem to be a state that values their citizens, so a way for defense and for flight may be a good offer. It's up to you.

Private link back.
"It seems like they might be convinced without offering that though. And a golden rule in bartering is to never offer more than you have to. After all, if we promise this that's another drain on our resources. But if it seems they might not pull through after all, then this might be used to tip the scales in our balance. So, a good idea, but let's keep it as a backup for now."

Mesk tenses slightly in his chair and quickly sends off a private message to Jim and Miyamoto.

Think we should try and get out of here to somewhere slightly safer?  Don't think these guys would appreciate a battle breaking out in their dining room.

And back again:

Thing is though, we have no idea about the layout of this building, so this might be the most fortified location they had available. And if they have a secret bomb shelter or so nearby, i think they'll call upon that when they think it's necessary. They'd need it more than us after all.

But you are very right about being proactive. Jim, you and me need to stay on our toes, to intervene should shit hit the fan.

Charge a dex bonus. This is to be used for a 'reaction shot' of sorts in case we get attacked or other bad shit happens. Use said reaction by using manip to protect the delegates and my team from danger (eg pushing away debris, creating force dome shield, whatever).

Done

Lars nodded at his words.  "I will have to check with our engineering team; the one you see here was built on our factory world in less than a year.  It may take a bit longer to get the needed supplies to this fine planet."

As he continued, Lars frowned.  "Our team is ready to defend if you need us."

Talk.  Offer assistance.

"The representatives of the UWM on this planet have contacted us with an ultimatum of sorts. They lack the power to combat that warship of yours, but they are threatening to contact larger forces if we do not toss you out immediately." He wrings his hands together thoughtfully. "We need to do something about that and quickly."


 

[Radio Controlled]

Keep bonus charged.

Ask Steve:
"Is there any way you could jam them? anything you could do that buys us some time?"

To Lars over mail:

We need to make sure they won't contact the UWM. Might be able to make it seem like the representatives reject us and comply to UWM demand, after which we'll have a bigger window to disable their communications ability. Ask him if they think this could work, and if they would want to play along. And if not, what we should do to prevent them from contacting their superiors.

[Toaster]

Lars looked at the representative in the eye.  "Well then, I suppose it's time for you decide if you want to cast off your yoke or remain under the thumb of the UWM.  If you wish to merely pretend to reject us so that a call is not sent out, our group can... ensure that no message goes out at all."

Diplomancy.

They'd use FTL comms, can't jam those. But, if you know where they are, we can do a more...physical type of interference. One that leaves a nice crater.

Diplomancy.

The man sits and stares at the table top for a good 30 seconds before responding.

"If you attack them, you may not disable their communications in time...but we could still play the part of the victim, should it be necessary. If they manage to communicate we should see some sign of it within the next few days. If you destroy their communications before they can relay their situation, we will have enough time to prepare. And we will join you. Is it a deal?"

[Toaster]

Lars looked at the man squarely.  "It is a deal.  Should we fail, we will do what is necessary to act as a spurned lover, as if we are bitter that you rejected us.  We will harm neither you nor the citizens, of course; only acting as if to attack the UWM and be on our way.  Whatever we must do to act rejected, we will; starting by leaving this area.  Any information on the UWM post you can give us- location, staffing, building layout, capabilities- will help us greatly."

Agree.  Seek intel.  Prepare to leave in a hurry.


"Team, get ready to leave.  We're leaving quickly."

[Radio Controlled]

'It's a goddamn christmas miracle.' Miya muttered to himself.

"Ok gents, you heard the man. Get up and prepare to go.

Lars, great job on the talking parts, I wasn't mistaken in choosing you."

Get ready to leave. Ask Steve:

"Is there any way you could take care of them from where you are? A full orbital strike would have too much collateral, but what about the Sword's laser batteries? And do you have any intell about the target place and staff that our new friends here don't? Finally, do you think we should handle it, or shall we retreat and send a covert op to do it?"

[Icefire2314]

Stand up and have laser rifle ready but in a non-threatening stance. Prepare.

[Remalle]

"Good work, Lars.  We bunkering down somewhere or assaulting, Miya?  Oh, and uh, what's the protocol on doggie bags on this planet...?"

[Lenglon]

I remain where I am but watch Miya closely. If people seem to actually be leaving, THEN get up and follow.

[Radio Controlled]

"Good work, Lars.  We bunkering down somewhere or assaulting, Miya?  Oh, and uh, what's the protocol on doggie bags on this planet...?"

"What we do next exactly gonna depend on where their base is and how the other cards are dealt.  But chances are high it'll be time for us to start breaking things. Problem is we have to break it before they use it."
