Session Logs

8: Not the Secret Squirrels

Not the Secret Squirrels

This is going to be not so much as a session log but a collection of bits and pieces relating to where we are and the state of various things.

As we left things on Tuesday Night, you were engaged in a fire fight with House Ashieda Royal Guard who were attempting to take Four back to Zairon to stand trial for the murder of his father, Emperor Ishida Tetsuya.

Two had shot the Commander who’d been “negotiating” with One, and Four had dragged him behind cover.

Five was about to try out her new hacking software on the planet’s IT infrastructure [GM Note:It basically gives you a bonus to your hacking skill. Given it is a ‘set’ of utilities the bonus it provides declines with each subsequent attempt to hack the same system – basically the system learns to recognise the utility used and therefore learns how to counter it. It also means the bonus may not be constant as the ‘utility set’ may have been used on a given system previously.]

Prior to the 6.75days down time for the Razza refit (which cost 6.5million) you had 13.5million in credits in the vault and upon arrival at the space station the following supplies
Fuel –
             Main Tank  - 147,565 litres
             Reserve Tank - 24,000 litres
Oxygen – 3,989 litres (liquid)
Water –  44,391
Nitrogen – 20,775 (liquid)

The Razza’s capacities are
Fuel –
            Main Tank      -   1.376M litres
            Reserve Tank  -   244K litres
Oxygen – 32,000l (liquid)
Water – 120,000l
Nitrogen – 120,000l (liquid)

The costs at the station for these are:-

Fuel – $0.81 per litre
Oxygen – $0.41 per litre
Water – $0.77 per litre
Nitrogen –$0.81 per litre

As I’d said previously (not sure I published them in a log) the costs for food/rations are

Space Station costs cr45 per day for basic meals
Good quality meal costs cr40/cr60 per day
"Fresh food" (where available) cr35/cr90 per day
Base level ration costs cr12=>cr15 per day
Decent ration costs cr18=>cr22 per day

How much are you spending on “Supplies”? (Fuel/O2/H2O/N/Water/Food)

Note the jump from Qers 7 (gas Giant) moon 4 Niphus Station 6 to Gaunaus (Gaesri-4) in the Gaesri System is 11ly and will consume 22,550l of fuel.

As Five has now worked out the “Access Code” for the Razza GA Bank Account (in the name of OctamasiQ Export and Shipping) your bank account stands at $811,928. The three most recent transactions, are 2 payments from BlindSight Securities of $60,000 and $1,272,150, and a payment for ‘Station Services’ of 533,650.

Five’s research into the Armscorps TRC12 MkII Blast Rifle (Three’s Bubba) indicates that it was a project executed by Phoenix Techtronics. 50% of their funding was from Armscorps which is known to be a front for the Galactic Authority Central Security Division (basically the Military/Security Services/Police arm of the GA). From what she’s been able to determine so far is that after an initial prototype phase, a contract was placed for the production of a number of units. She has also determined that the Company no longer exists, or rather there are no records of the Company’s existence.

Note Armscorps does exist.. It is the primary manufacturer of the Stunner Pistols amongst other things.

The other thing you may be wondering about is Time. T0 , the time at which you all awoke from cryostasis with no memory was 30.7days ago, the current date being 2672:186:14 (yyyy:ddd:HH)

One other thing that sort of indirectly arose is exactly how good are you as PCs.

The Palladium system, at least in terms of attributes, is a 3D6 system at heart (the same as D&D and all its versions and clones – like PathFinder). This means the average human stat is 11.

Palladium, by default, modifies this for PCs to 4D6 take the highest 3 with the caveat that if the sum of 3 dice is 16 or more you add the value of the 4th dice. This raises the average to 13. I modify this slightly to 4D6 take the highest 3 and reroll 1s, which push the average up to 14 (assuming I remember correctly).

Any stat of 18 or more is considered extra-ordinary human. Androids and Robots use slightly different rules since their stats can exceed 30 (whereas even extra-ordinary humans can’t – both supers and supernatural humans on the other hand can but these are different category again, and there are currently no supernatural entities in the game).
The base rolls can be modified by certain skills, Gymnastics or Athletics for example.

You may draw what ever conclusions from this as you wish.
