I'm unsure what other actions to do, as my role is usually just Navigating and nothing else?

Otherwise, continue astrographing?

Also Cael, it sounds more like mentioning as an aside on the games you're also pushing forward proactively (like this one too), but the attention to detail that you give each and every game you dedicate yourself to is very inspiring, and nice. :))

As a PC, you are also an advisor/leader aboard the ship. Saying were you think we should go would be a fairly large help in moving the plot forward.

Thanks Tiruin. It works wonders to relieve stress.

And Stirk is correct, you could add suggestions, though in my opinion we already have enough material to act and get a move on.

I'm just basically worried about moving unilaterally-the Binary system looks like our interesting stop, but I haven't really gotten a lot of player/character input at this point. We have two votes for binary (one coming in recently), one vote for investigating the structure, and one point for going to the closest planet and repeating. I thought DBZ would be updating for the actions, but he *might* be waiting on us to decide what to do first.

I didn't vote for investigating any structure.

Not Gilgamesh did.

I thought he was just speculating that the warp storms around the five systems is itself a construct, and to investigate the systems inside for information.

It doesn't particularly matter, I was still the only one who voted for the binary system exploration at the time.

Seeing as we now have three votes for it, I'll go ahead just so the games gains some momentum back.

Partly so. I've been meaning to come up with a nice graphical representation of the system but that will have to wait for certain reasons.

I didn't want to use the augurs at this distance because there were reasonable consequences for failure.  I suppose I should have explicitly ordered a crewman to do it.

Oh? I thought the ship wasn't silent running yet.

I meant by not spotting important things.  It's one thing to flub the roll when entering the system, where there will be multiple chances as we close the distance on the planets, but it's another thing to flub the roll when we're entering possibly-trafficked areas, and the 30+20 of a crewman is much better than 24+10.

What does 'nuclear power source' mean? Does it mean 'it has engines inside it' (and then I suspected Ork Roks...)
Or does it mean it contains materials which can be refined or converted into a nuclear power source?

...Also I've no idea where I (Amara) am in the ship, after having talked to the Captain on bridge. :P

It means there are radiation emissions consistent with nuclear reactions occurring, such as nuclear engines.

Noted.

Where did the +20 on the crewmen come from?

I thought the +20 bonus was for the Runecaster, but now I see that was only navigation checks.  I'm not sure where the augur bonuses came from, although I do know they aren't related to me personally.

The Auger bonus would come from the ship's Detection (Which is in fact +20)
