Hey folk... when the sparklies started on the computer panel, Skirk looked at it and ran off... I followed him through the Sheep Nursery... and through another door... and then in THAT room I saw a ball of light that went outside into the marsh. I don't dare follow it alone. Suggestions? (and ooc......

something to do about aiming at Ike?

(and google translate claims that Skirk is saying: Reeipip Steppe Schram Rippie Raiei in Hindi.)

Reaching for my tricorder... I examine the computer panel.

*hey, Skirk... what's up? Since you are genetically able to talk, a bit of "hey, there is a warning light you are missing!" or "Hey, I smell sabatogey sparklies!" or "I want acorns!" would be goodly.

But... here is an acorn. Just for you.

thamrick... the fates will reward your honesty. Or the brainbot will remember your honesty and give you a break, later.

Science stuff: We discover Endeavour Lily Flower! ◇Harvest for food (+1) ◇Transplant to greenhouse ◇Have Uriah spend phase studying specimen The first option is not necessary... plenty of food in the bins. ##Call Brainbot... does studying the specimen result in no rushing of tech? AND Can we transpl...

What are the possible results of sending a distress signal?
Having an armed ship come out to fend off the traitor is nice... until they wanna get paid. Or make demands. Or make us listen to Prince music.

##VOTE AYE Prop 1.6.7

##CALL Brainbot
Welcome back! Sorry I broke you.
You missed my Prop 1.8.#
But I withdraw, as unnecessary
##VOTE aye prop 1.8.4

We oughta wait ten more minutes till brainbot reboots.
I miss him/it.

But I like the plan, other than that. I wonder about the timing of this. Can we EMP the device, and still have time to do the sneaky sneak into the sneaky rebel's camp? Seems to me that the EMP would take less time than a hack... In fact, I have a small EMP device HERE... that I use to heat up odd l...

We need to fix the communications sabotage before anyone uses the Python

I lug the (not too heavy) device to my lab and examine it. It is clearly Russian made, and had it's origins in ancient attempts by Russians to meddle in other's political situation... It's placement in the guts of our ship are concerning. I wonder if we should check out the Python? If there is a sim...

##Vote no prop 1.4 (sorry dear squirrel)
##Vote yes prop 1.7.1 (capture them.)

Ok... I safely remove the device that was killing our communications. No human was damaged (or squirrel) in the sparks that sparkled. BUT Brainbot has crashed. ##Call Crashedbot As a brilliant scientist... even though emphasizing genetics... I know a lot about bots.. which ARE like artificial life. ...

sigh
Philistines.
But as you try to tap it your questions to me... it sounds like you are just playing "Ina Goda Davida," or "2001: A Space Oddesey."

And let me be more clear... Iago... mysterious "Othello..."
Connected...

I also found an issue with the communications equipment... am attempting to remove some non-original tech from the system...

Waiting to see if it is effective...
