>>5581151It seems that ‘Guard’ has left its minion to do its dirty work while it chases down your little orange friend. While WEAVY appears to be barely restraining itself — outcast as it is from the communal WEAVER network — you can’t imagine the other drones have any similar advantages. Your comm pings at almost the exact same moment, a priority call overriding the usually wait for acknowledgment.
“Dallas! What have you done this time?” You recognise the voice of your Communications officer:
>Matthew Cooper>Neb von Clifton>Finder-of-Zephyrs>Rika Sharsii>Isobel Buxton>Sophia Odette<span class="mu-b">Choose your Communications officer, they will receive the skills: Communications (M|S), and Empathy(S). Comms is responsible for coordinating all internal and external communication, translation, monitoring crew morale and relaying orders belowdecks. They also keep the Captain informed of any relevant information received in the process of doing so.</span>
“I’m alone on the observation bridge and apparently we’ve been attacked, comms chatter suggests a mutiny brewing and I have multiple <span class="mu-s">TORPEDOES</span> on the scope!” Comms finishes in an urgent but carefully controlled tone to ensure clarity.
It appears time is shorter than you would have liked, you need to get back to the bridge and take command. EoN is frantically scanning the core, while Kiro and Coen have taken up positions by the stuck open boarding craft hatch, wary of any incoming threats. Cleo seems unsure of who to help, and you lay immobile with only the barest tingling of feeling returning to your legs.
What are your orders?
>Surrender the core and any gathered data to the WEAVERs. <span class="mu-b">By the Book suggests you focus on doing your job, Lieutenant Commander, and save your ship and crew.</span>> Whatever EoN has gathered will have to be enough. Leave the core and make for the bridge immediately. You’ll have to be carried.>Hold here against whatever forces ‘Guard’ has mustered against you. Issue orders to your one officer left on the bridge. <span class="mu-r">This may lead to conflict with your WEAVER drones and a loss of your ability to repair your voidship ahead of the coming conflict.</span> >Split your forces, how? >Something else. Write in.
