I think that'll round us out well: Scientist-Inventor, Telepath-Face, Telekinetic-Sneak, Strong Guy, and Healer.

[cobalt-blue]

Shall I assume from the silence that we're ready to head to the shore leave part?

[Sakuro]

I'm good with moving along.

[Hound]

Next scene please.

[Evolución]

Yep I'm good to go

Given the source material- how common are political officers on this ship to encourage the proper right-thinking?

[cobalt-blue]

Fairly common on most ships. However, there has not been one on the Koffi Annan since the events of Epsilon Sagittarii where Ambassador Davenport's political officer went off mission and tried to kill not only the Imperial negotiator, Prince Atlyn but the ambassador AND Captain Kim.

Since we have like tons of free time, could I get some inventions? I know there is no energy weapons still, but I could build a prototype. Also a bio grenade, a stunner grenade, tons of stuff come to mind that would aid us in future raptor encounters, and that Ivan could build having the schematics of not only the ship, but the biological information from the blood and scales, as well as the shards of the psycrystal. I don't want to abuse the inventor skill but I also don't want to miss a chance to really put it to good use.

Realized I couldn't possible build those things, so I toned them down (Too high DC). Added build time and building DC. As stated in the rules, GM should roll the design checks and not tell me if it is successful or not. I roll the build check without knowing the result of the design. The device might explode in my face if the design check failed, or do something else (like healing instead of hurting, etc.)

Congradulations! Garfield is the first person to take an interest in Simon's condition.

Simon is a something of a "broken psychic". Born with a psychic potential, they tinkered around with the guy's nervious system and biochemistry to bring that potential out. He can do things that are rare among psychics in the TU (nullifying psionic effects for example), but the augmentation process turned his nervious system into a wreck.

The sugar is a bandaid. It have a chemical reaction with hormones that his brain releases. The result temporarily lessen the side effects he experiances. If you've ever seen Dark Angel with Jessica Alba, think of sugar as a parallel to how Max uses milk.

"Yes, I admit its risky, but..."
"Doctor Gomamov, your project is not only risky for us, it imperils the Union itself. Dismantelling shuttles and other military vessels to build this army of..."
"Rutrons. My droids could potentially end the war, and eradicate the Raptors."
"But that's a theory as you just exposed Doctor, the drawbacks exposed in your report are... Well we would have to resort to the Imperials for protection while your army of drones is manufactured, and we don't actually know the full extend of the Raptors' empire. As you state we could be drawing an even mayor threat to us. Also I'm concerned that the Imperials won't llike to take part in the creation of an army of droids that are immune to their mental powers."
"I'm aware of that, but if you don't take risks you can't expect to win this war. Allow me to build a sample platoon of ..."
"Enough doctor, the decision of this board is final. Thank you for your contribution, goodbye."
"But..." Ivan bite his tongue, and with bitter cold black eyes he regard the military scientific board of 'Experts', before turning and storming out of the room.

The last encounter with the raptor messing with his mind re floated this particular moment of Ivan past. Searching his files, he found the notes for the Rutron prototype. If the science board doesn't want to lunch his project, he might as well do it.

The one thing I know for sure about robots is that, like monkeys, sooner or later they will try to kill you...
