Use drugs to hopefully find out when shit is going to hit the fan. Repeat this regularly.
Make sure I'm not sleeping on the floor.
Try to get Skyler to reprogram Manuel into a more useful scouting bot. Failing that, take a look at his programing myself.
Watch medical procedures and maybe learn something.
Provide moral support.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that.
Is Manuel the robot hand even with you guys?
We'll say that you watch what you can and get a rough idea how to do it.
And you lobby for more murder, less sense, and increased violence on all fronts.
1) Dester will monitor the news, keep in communication with the Sons, and be informed of progress on any of our activities.
2) Skipping through it all is fine,
unless there are situations that need direct involvement, such as doing the surgeries on exporting any illegal emigrants, in which case I am happy to do that in IRC to save space and time.
3) action edited: Let's just do the skip. Any secondary plans that get skipped can be worked on afterward.
Special instruction: Dester will be ready at all times to disappear (i.e. move via Son network to a new location) if the situation turns ugly and he has any warning of that at all.
Questions: what all situations are going to progress during the skip, that we are aware of? I believe the ones we have established are [/b]
- a) the legitimate shipping business and
- b) the illegal emigration part.
Getting in touch with the hospitals to find recruits and establishing false front in the lower stacks seemed to be neglected in favor of those. Are either or both of those included?
3)
Questions:
- A)If we "let the intermediaries handle everything," does this mean we take our chances on whether the business gets up and running? What of the illegal emigration portion of the plan?
- b)By "make sure everything get's done," you mean things like direct involvement in intimidation, bribery, and smooth talking our way to success?
- c)I am assuming that if we encounter hostile action (a wild gang / police force / hungry mob / xenomorph has appeared!) we will break the skip for that?[/b]
Alright.
Alright.
Alright.
All of those things will be happening.
Well, sort of, but more it means that you keep your hands clean and nothing can be traced back to you, though you have less direct control.
Basically; take any non-insane means to get things done now. With what might be consequences in the future.
Yep.
Use month time skip to familiarize myself with all the sector's we'll be interacting with's social norms, patterns, behaviour, etc.. Use my charisma skills where needed to help teammates
Alright.
Remain on guard duty at Beta.

Petra also does this.
ANd done
Volunteer for guard duty. Also talk to one of the sons about maybe importing some form of tranquilizer, to assist in capture process.
Be sure to keep my gun on me at all times, loaded and ready to fire. Can't be too careful. Maybe peruse nearby shops for potential souvenirs in my free time. If that isn't really an option, find something else to occupy myself when it's not my shift.
Importing tranq, got it.
Basically what Dester said.
Look for Surgeon recruits so we don't have to do anything else. practice on subjects that come in.
Play with my new pet and keep her happy/me sane.
Use Cockatrice and newspapers to keep updated on local/global news.
Alright.
So we're skipping a head in time a bit. Without obfuscating things, here's what happened.
1. The shipping business is set up. Right now, it's transporting mostly benign medical goods to keep its cover. We have a few employees, lower levels who have no idea whats going on, and one upper level one managing them that knows how to keep his mouth shut. It turns a small profit on its own, which we supplement to make it seem bigger and more important than it is.
2. We haven't shipped any people out, but we've got about 2 dozen podded from various sources. Mostly young males in their early 20's looking to get off the planet.
3. We've gotten contact with the best doctors we can hire, ie the ones with good skills and bad social/criminal standings. We have a couple on retainer but our input of "Patients" isn't nearly quick enough to keep them occupied. They get paid regardless though, so they don't complain.
4. We'll assume the lot of you are now more accustomed to this place and can pass through unnoticed so long as you're not put under too much scrutiny.
5. Crime in this stack is on the decline, however you've all heard rumblings about a rather large gang of frightening fellows gathering power and numbers in the lower levels of the stack. Some sort of religious cult it sounds like.
