Leif's DISCONTINUED GURPS Traveller Game OOC01

[Leif]

First Corporate Memo, re-Simulgrab Power Processors

MEMORANDUM

To: Jovan Selm, Director of Oversight for Trin's Veil

From: Temakak Briden, Comptroller General, Zeering Conglomerate

Date: [Two Weeks ago]

RE: WTF is up on Edenelt/Trin's Veil??

By Jove, Jove, you have got to get on your people and have somebody pry their heads out of their a**es! Seriously, it's not even funny anymore how far their production has slipped in the last 6 weeks, let alone the 3 months before that. Is somebody there dipping into the till, or what? I warned you about hiring that ex-Marine to be over the Personnel Dept. And what's up with the bills they're paying for RM? I don't see how they can expect a decent profit margin with such high costs. At least we've still got the government of Edenelt in our hip pockets. The tax credits we're getting are almost enough to totally off-set this travesty. I'm bringing up the idea of us sending our Repair Crew out there at the next board meeting. Take care that your head gets nowhere near the chopping block.

BTW, RM= raw materials - Leif
& BTW, The fixers have now officially been sent to Edenelt/Trin's Veil and you are on your way when you are shown this memo

 

[Leif]

About the memo -- Ok, so here are five (5) (count 'em) good, solid leads with which you can begin your investigation on Edenelt/Trin's Veil. Chase down as many of these as you wish for as long as you wish. Note that Zeering Conglomerate Management values the speed of results just about as much as the quality of the results themselves. Therefore, this kind of mission tends to be a balancing act trying to get enough good info in the shortest time possible. But sometimes circumstances limit either the quickness with which you can proceed or the quality of the product that you are able to coax out of your targets. Zeering values your judgment at least as much as any of your other skills.

 

[Shayuri]

Informal PC poll: You guys want to rescue the miner or just keep chuggin'?

Zoe's fine either way, though she might feel a squidge guilty about ignoring a distress call.

 

[Scotley]

Spider would definitely want to rescue the miner. He's a real boyscout at heart.

 

[Leif]

Zoe - 'Squidge?' Is that like a homeless squid standing at the intersection with a dirty squeegee?

Spider - Still working on that psionics merit badge, eh?

 

[Leif]

So somebody needs to make up the group's mind and decide whether you're going to answer the distress signal or keep be-bopping on your merry way to Edenelt/Trin's Veil.

 

[Shayuri]

Eh. I've got two people saying 'aye' right now.

If I don't hear any dissent by Monday, I'll post Zoe going back to help.

 

[Leif]

Works for me, except that you really don't have to go back -- you're not yet out to the place where you first encountered the Belter, which was just barely closer to Glisten than the jump point. Of course you probably came in from a different direction than that in which you're leaving, but we'll 'hand-wave' that unless somebody wants to get picky on me.

 

[grufflehead]

I'm going to bow out. Thanks for the game and happy hunting.

 

[Leif]

And the dwindling continues. *sigh* Fine, Gruff, fine.

So now we're down to Scotley, Shayuri, Insight, and Lou, right? And Spider is back to being engineer.
