Felling many is ideal.

In a different age, intergalactic bandits would be a concern, but laws and treaties have kept space relatively safe. We do have some small ships meant for evacuations and scouting, if the occasion calls for it. Their firepower isn't that of the Eudora, but they're faster. I should change some of the controls to be layman-friendly.

sounds like that'd be for the best. in worst case scenario for evacuation, we can't count on always having an expert on hand.

is scouting something the senior crew takes care of, or is there any chance any of us would be tasked with it?

[dropoffs]

If scouting is necessary to clear up the path, then a senior crew member will go with a small group of regular crew members. Sometimes there will be less debris that won't need the power of Eudora's energy cannons and lasers and instead the smaller ships will do.

[riverbeans]

i'd be interested in seeing that in action, but i guess it'd be best if i never had to, huh?

[dropoffs]

Scouting ahead for threats would be unlikely as our route takes the safest path, but we still may need to go out to clear some debris. Space weather can be volatile and move objects around.

As a warning, don't try escaping your contract using the scouting ships. Making an enemy out of the company would be a mistake.

[riverbeans]

well, i wasn't thinking about doing that until you said it just now, but don't worry, i'm not THAT confident in my solo sailing abilities.

[dropoffs]

Some of you are very loud about your dissatisfaction.

[riverbeans]

i'm very dissatisfied too but i also don't have a death wish.

[dropoffs]

Your body is less likely to be found and returned home out in the void.

[ this isn't a scare tactic but it sure seems like it ]

[riverbeans]

wow, scary. i'll keep that in mind.

[dropoffs]

Good.

[ does this seem awkward yet ]

[riverbeans]

[compared to dealing with arthur this is nothing]

anything else you wanted to discuss besides weaponry?

[dropoffs]

No.

Are you interested in recalibrating a target and tracking sensor? It can be done remotely.

[riverbeans]

not quite sure what that entails, but sure, i'm always up for trying something new.

[dropoffs]

Nut & Bolt's IT has made the layman's controls to mimic that of a game.

[ Charles will get a prompt that has the target and tracking sensor dialog, the weapon's ID, and then prompts recalibration under training wheels mode.

IT needs a better beginner's mode.

[riverbeans]

sorry i'm terrible at this, apparently. just to check, are there any numbers or is it just letters?

[dropoffs]

[ It's okay, Charles. Callisto doesn't seem to be good? Or maybe they just hate these. ]

I am sick of these. I don't know.

[ CUrsed. CURSED IT. I will say they are all letters. There is no I. ]
