Message: <blockquote data-quote="Moon_Goddess" data-source="post: 6096488" data-attributes="member: 33">Question Roundup:Firstly to Shayuri's breifing questions[sblock="Aurora Bounty briefing, Aurora and takeover crews only"]You are seated in the Aurora Bounty's conference room a converted cargo space with a large table and chairs, a UltraScreen™  has been painted on one wall.    A man who you've only been introduced to as Mr. Jancey walks into the room, his official title is Corporate Liaison and the captain appears to take orders from him.  Jancey is a average looking man in his early 40's, balding, he wears a expensive business suit and glasses despite laser correction being commonplace.  Captain Shu Jacob, a man in his mid 30's, sits quietly reading thru his notes during the briefing."If I may have your attention, please." He pauses for a moment before continuing. "Thank you, this breifing will outline Operation Rx0-717.   Operation Rx0-717 is being launched in retaliation for the destruction of the GE's microgavity silicon factory at Phobos.  This is a proof of concept operation.""The Aurora Bounty is currently flying under falsified transponder codes identifying it as a Google crawler ship.   Our destination is a Exxon-Mobil cargo tanker named the Nebula Harvest, en-route from a hydrocarbon pumping facility on Titan to their refineries on Mars.   Current trajectory plots intercept at this location near the Jupiter orbital path."  The screen display a point on a gird of the solar system."Upon interception EMP missiles will be used to disable the Nebula Harvest with minimal damage.   When the ship is disabled the Aurora Bounty will dock with the target and use the cutting airlock.   The crew members designated as 'takeover team' will enter the 'Harvest and take control from it's Captain Sam Turner.   Naturally casualties will need to be kept to a absolute minimum, but deaths are sometimes unpreventable."  He says this last laugh with a bit of a laugh, looks at you in a way to let you know that he wants you to know he's lying.   It's the first emotion you've seen out of the man."Survivors can be transfered to the Aurora Bounty for secure detainment.  Equipment damage will need to be keep to an absolute minimum as the Nebula Harvest will need to be repaired and ready for flight as quickly as possible before the chance of retaliation.   Naturally the cargo is of the highest priority here.""After the takeover the 'takeover team'  will pilot the Nebula Harvest under false transponders to our facility on Ceres, and the Aurora Bounty will make for Earth orbit.    After the Nebula Harvest is unloaded on Ceres the ship will be scuttled and the 'takeover team' will be transfered back to our facilities on earth by individual carriers.  If questioned by government agents you are to deny all knowledge of the events.   Any prisoners aboard the Aurora Bounty can be transfered to a facility on Luna, for their eventual destination.""OK, lets get back to work"As to your further questions, there are treaties and accords regarding this, they would be very similar to how ships of private ownership regard each other in international waters today.   Obviously you can see they are mostly ignored.The takeover team is 9, and I was hoping a PC would take command of it.[/sblock]  [MENTION=9026]Jemal[/MENTION] I think I'll allow that, since you are simply going in the middle.   I'll allow it to anyone else who's wanting a lot of equipment for fewer points.    You gonna get your girl some help with her character or not man?I'll get a briefing for the Nebula Harvest crew written up soon.   Might not be today though.</blockquote>
