After Earth - Episode II - Beyond Colonial Space.

Cnosos examines the schematics before him. "As I said early, I'll plug you into Dobr if you want. I'm not building another droid. If you are ok with it, transfer yourself to him, I've already plug him into the system. As for the changes, I'll see what I can do..." Absent-mindedly, the man examines the schematics one by one, memorizing them.

Gaetanna's HUD's flashed several connection messages. "Looks like my HUD is now syncing with the Greed's sensors and with the stalite relays." She grinned. "If you want, I could make reservations at a hotel or resort at our destination... Just cause you guys have free room and board doesn't mean you can't enjoy the finer things that a colony has to offer."
 


Looking throught the schematics makes it clear that you can indeed make all the upgrades with the parts and equipment you have onboard. Cnosos figures it takes from a few days up to a couple of weeks to get it all done but it should boost the engine capability considerably.

[Sblock=OOC]It's a series of Craft Mechanics rolls. You need five successes. Failure means you waste a day's work. It takes a day for one roll, but you can take 10 by using two days or 20 by using three days per roll. So with good luck you can make it in 5 days, or you can try to do it in 10 by taking 10's, assuming that is enough for the DC, or you can take the sure way and do it in 15 days...[/sblock]
 

Cnosos tries to implement the changes as fast as he can, making use of all spare parts he can find. In the next five days, he'll be lost in his work, wandering outside the engines room, just to eat and search for parts. He replies with "Hm... perhaps..." to everything his companions ask, before returning to his work.

OOC: I feel lucky, so I'll roll for 5 days. Roll Lookup

"For me," Melara says, leaning comfortably back in her seat, "it doesn't get any finer than here in my ship. You can take your hotels, resorts, clubs, whatever...places where they've got people to do everything for you. Not me. I can't sleep in a bed I didn't make."

She doesn't mention that her bed is, more often than not, not made.
 

COLOR="Wheat"] "Is there anything like coffee on this ship, Damon?"[/COLOR] he asks. [/COLOR]

Damon offers Solly a smile. "Pre-packaged, freeze dried crystals," he says. "Just add the hot water. And, if you're like me, a lot of alcohol to disguise the flavor."

"That's funny considering that I was under the impression that you received this ship as a gift from one of those socially amoral affluent benefactors which unjustly preys upon the everyday hard working man by paying for services which in turn keeps them from starving." Gaetanna laughed. "So since you decry my life style so much, let me ask you one question: Did you stitch that outfit you are currently wearing?"

"As long as it makes my brain spin faster, I'll take it," says Solly. He catches Damon's eye, glances over to the bickering women, back at Damon and subtly rolls his eyes heavenward, before heading off to get a cup of reconstituted freeze dried stimulant.

This in hand, he goes to examine the cryo-berths, prodding about on the control panels with mutterings of "Hmm.. different model to the ones on the last ship."

[SBLOCK=Blackrat]
I don't think Solly has any real skill in what to do with the cryo-berths beyond what any fool front-end user would know. He will pretend otherwise, however.

"Oh give me a break," Mel snaps. "If you can't see the difference between someone making a jumpsuit, something with value, and someone who's paid just to pamper you, then there's not much to say. And no, this ship was not a gift. I was hired to fly it. It's a job. You know? Honest work?" She shrugs. "Or maybe you don't."
