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

Looks that way. I don't know about testing whatever pentalties come with "opting out" altogether, so I'd rather find a solution.

[godsandbats]

[Yup. Kirk has already posted a question about that to her]

Protection is possible but it's not the default option. And only after you asked do we know about it.

How considerate hosts we have.

[wolfish]

I'd vastly prefer we got all the details up front. Spares us the guessing games. Don't know whether Echo's imposed some strange stipulation we have to ask first, but if so: why?

[ When their time to prepare is so short, having to take stabs at what their options are seems counter to their success. ]

[godsandbats]

[It's all the more reason why Kirk is already so unhappy about this mission. It seems cruel and further gives the sense they're just someone's entertainment]

Then there's the matter of if this protection can be trusted. It could be another trap.

[wolfish]

It could, as some form of test. See who takes the out, or something of that nature.

Curious what Aurora's been told we're allowed to do here, to get the job done.

[godsandbats]

I would like to know as well. It all goes back to not knowing who Echo really is.

Depending on how she answers, I might consider the opt-out.

[wolfish]

Echo seems less results-driven than I'd expect. That, or closing the vent's not the only aim here.

Keep me posted, alright?

[godsandbats]

I will. The opt-out will cost 60 points. I have enough for it.

[wolfish]

Good thing for those passes.

[godsandbats]

I suppose. It can only be used once every six months.

But after what happened during the last mission, this may be best for me.

[wolfish]

I'll wait to pull on that thread until the next time we're face-to-face.

[ He noticed the way Kirk holed up afterward, but he's not going to pry on a public venue like this. ]

[godsandbats]

[Kirk is still a near recluse after the last mission but he knows he can't hide from everyone forever. Especially now that he can see how useful the Abyss might be]

It sounds like the Abyss can still be useful for me in other ways. I'd like to take a look when we have the time.

[wolfish]

By all means; that invitation's not going to expire.
