Rogue Trader: Between Session Thread

By the way, if I'm replying too quickly, you can draw stuff out however you like.  I just respond while it's fresh in my mind.

I don't have a whole lot, but here goes:

Sarvus is more of a people person.  If we hit level 3, let me now.  I may have some more skills to contribute at that point.

[Tadanori Oyama]

If you want to go ahead and spend another 1,000 XP to represent what you gained from the game and from anything picked up since then, go ahead and do so now. We'll spend the rest of it along the way before we get to the next Skype event.

Dom's gonna throw down some scans here.

He hit all his scans so that's plenty of collected data, which the engineseers are gonna go to work on breaking down into useable parts.

(Awareness)
Trask, paying close attention to the scans as they come in, begins to see some odd things. There are more jagged edges than he would expect on alot of these asteroids, and their sizes vary greatly. There's a great deal of dust and tiny elements but also alot of large ones. He can't out his finger on it but something is unusual.

(Evaluation)
Then something sparks in the back of his mind. As one of the scans comes by he brings up one of the earlier ones and puts them side by side on the view screen. After a moment of adjustment, he finds two sections of the rocky space debris that match nearly perfectly, clearly indicating they used to be one single piece of stone.

(Astromancy)
But his inital excitement fades when he realizes that it's perfectly likely for asteroids in a belt to collide and break apart on occation.


Anyone who wants to look for something specific in the belt (or follow up on any new information just gathered) can do so as well.

[ShotgunSurgeon]

Feel free to disregard any of these if not applicable.

I'll see if I can sense any disturbances in the warp.

I'll also take a closer look at the busted rock to see if I can determine how the break occurred or whether this might have been a small moon, etc.

Trask will utilize his recently learned knowledge of Xenos to see if any of these asteroids look like they may be of Xenos origin.

Aparently Trask took stupid pills this morning. This roller is rigged!

[Tadanori Oyama]

Carin feels nothing new of the warp here but with 2 degrees of success she feels very old, very faint traces of daemon presence and warp scarring, similar to that experienced in a warp storm.

Two degrees on Scrutiny, and working with what Trask already has up on the screen and the reports coming back from the engineseers scans, allows Carin to peer through several of the scans and determin that this belt is comprised primarily of mineral compounded material but there is a fairly high level of former organic material, light mineral composition, and oxygenated gases.

However, none of it appears to be activally dangerous unless the ship happened to fly right into the belt (which it is currently not, your well off to one side).

[ShotgunSurgeon]

Cool... sounds like another ship got shredded.

Middle-aged male voice with a tone of professionalism. Lord Trask. Based on these scans, it appears that the remnants of a ship float within this asteroid belt... hmmm.... not a fortunate omen. It seems that Daemons might have been involved... but that is not definite.

I'll let the Cap'n decide where to go from here.

[nbneil]

This bodes poorly for our choice of base of operations in the expanse. We can investigate the wreckage when we have more time. "Dom, take us in to the next planet."

[Tadanori Oyama]

Your chief astra-monastic charter, Urbain Le Verrier, askes if you would like to name the asteroid belt, since he's detailing the system maps as you go. Three of his apprenteces are currently at work with brush and pain on a massive stretched graxhide canvis, detailing the system as it is currently known. A label which reads "Trask Dynasty System Acquisition Number FYO-0004" has been pinned to the top.

Dom chooses to navigate wide of the belt, going "over" it and entering the inter system. The star's light is much brighter here inside of the belt making navigation slightly more difficult.

Primary scans estimated two planets within the inner system. Only one is currently visible to normal scans. The other (or others) must be in orbit on the other side of the system's star at the moment. Dom moves into scanner range and begins work.

Suggestions for naming can be ongoing.

[nbneil]

Apparently Trask has an aneurysm trying to evaluate the data. Seriously?

[Tadanori Oyama]

I thought about responding to your Astromancy check with "What planet?" but that would be cruel.

[Tadanori Oyama]

While Trask is unable to gather my real world information from the raw data the engineseers pull from the scans but does find the positioning of the planet interesting. After a few adjustments on his dataslate, Trask estimates that the planet is part of a trio of smiliarly sized worlds which are orbiting the star and exchanging their orbital paths with one another as they pass closely together.
The cycle is fairly quick, roughly one standard year for each planet to make all three orbits, and has layered the planet strangely due to the comparativally fast heating and cooling it receives.

[nbneil]

It makes sense that Trask is confused as I certainly am. Continue scanning if there are no valuable assets. Or someone competent can look over the data.
