If you think you’re going to become a danger to others during this upcoming mission, what precautions are you taking?

Comments

[wolfish]

Pitfalls, spike traps, pressure-triggered gates that'll slam shut if triggered... The usual suspects. Couldn't tell you why it's built like that, but it makes the place an obstacle course for those unfamiliar.

If it can stop Dimitri on an average day, it should be enough with abilities out of commission.

[godsandbats]

Agreed. Confinement will have to start the night before the mission. Easy to enter but not easy to leave once the particles come into play.

[wolfish]

That'd be the safest bet, while heads are still level. Wish we'd gotten a bit more notice, but we'll just have to make do and get through it.

I do know field medicine, if we wind up needing that during this venture.

[godsandbats]

From what it sounds like, there's not a small chance of need it.

Would anyone want to stand guard outside of the abyss during the mission?

[wolfish]

I know a guy. He rooms just outside the entrance, so he could easily notice someone passing by.

[godsandbats]

Then between that and the traps, it should be enough for the mission

[wolfish]

I suspect so. There is the matter of "participation", so I'm seeing whether remote assistance counts. A voice helping someone snap out of it, or even confirming whether something one's perceiving is actually there, should count as contributing. So I'd imagine, anyway.

I'll let you know what Aurora's got to say about the suggestion.

[godsandbats]

Hopefully it helps and not further agitates the paranoia. Trusting one's senses during this mission could be a problem.

Thank you.

[wolfish]

At the least comparing notes might avail us. Hopefully. Not everyone may be able to accept a second opinion, but it's worth a try.

[godsandbats]

Even if they don't like it, there might not be much of a choice this time. We don't have a lot of resources.

[wolfish]

That and only so much time to prepare.

[godsandbats]

That's probably the point. Another way to see how well we perform under pressure.

[wolfish]

Yeah. Echo throws one hell of a mixed bag at us.

[godsandbats]

How are you preparing?

[wolfish]

Been seeing a few people mention sedatives, and needles sound far more convenient than methods I'd otherwise use. Thought I'd pick some up, just in case anybody needs to be stopped from doing something they'll regret later.

Aside from that, going to load up on supplies to store in Abyss. Two weeks can be long.

[godsandbats]

It could work, especially since we would all be without our usual natural defenses. Needles are more effective than a rag with chloroform. You just have to know where to inject.

I'll need to think about how everything needs to be set up first but if you don't mind, can help me put in my provisions as well?

[wolfish]

Don't have that back home either, but I know my way around plants. Where's the best place to stick a needle? Got a few guesses, but I don't want to harm somebody for want of information.

Of course I don't mind. I'd prefer you've got everything set up how you need it, so I'm all for lending a hand.

[godsandbats]

[Kirk lists off a few spots, with consideration that Yuri would have to ambush in order to do it]

This is assuming you're dealing with human biology or biology that's close enough to human.

My blood supply has to be kept cold and whatever space I'm in, there needs to be nothing I could possibly use to cause trouble.

[wolfish]

[ Yuri makes note of it, valuable information that it is. ]

I'll keep it in mind. Most of us look close enough, but that doesn't guarantee anything.

The latter's easy. The former we'll need to sort. We've got some of those portable generators from Earth here. Bet we can borrow a refrigerator from somewhere nearby.

[godsandbats]

For short term use, yes. That should be enough. I'll provide instructions if needed but it's best I don't know the Abyss's layout ahead of time.

[wolfish]

Makes sense. You're a sharp one— might work against us in this case if you know too much.

I'll get the area ready for your stay.

[godsandbats]

Thank you. It's unfortunately necessary that we have to anticipate what I might come up with while my mind is compromised for this.

[wolfish]

Hey, at least I know to prepare for it. I've known a fair few clever dastards in my time.

Fortification's something I'm very familiar with, ought to avail us here.

[godsandbats]

Hopefully it'll be enough and others can benefit from it as well.

Will you be alright?

[wolfish]

I make a point of being fine.

Aurora tells me that remote help won't count as participation, so I'm seeing about what does. Got to be something we can work with.
