Is the room Lazlo directed Ryen to going to be Seita's room or is it a separate one?

Good! Then I described the room's location perfectly. We have Quincy on floor 1. Ryen, Seita, and Ellie are on floor 2. Gunther and Lazlo are on floor 3. Or so, that's what I'm working with.

Room Assignments: Edited in OOC. Ship information moved to "Characters" tab. I will refer to these locations going forward but I'm unwilling to go back through all my posts and edit out the inconsistencies.

Syrae: I was going off of the planet's description in my first OOC post

Name: "Syrae", Officially FDRY776
Atmosphere: Hospitable
Climate: Freezing. Surface is covered in ice all year round. Cities are built on geothermal vents and derive their power from the planet’s superhot core.
Native Sentient Beings: (None)
First Colony: Scientists, 900+ yrs ago
Exports: Ore and high quality gems (found under Syrae’s mountain chains)
Overseen by: (None)


If the Federation's control works like a sphere, then Syrae is on the edge of that sphere for Federation Stronghold 700. It's why it has it's own laws, why people (such as Ryen's father) can gain asylum there. It's fine if the Federation has an embassy located on the planet, however, the planet itself is not governed by this embassy. It's why Ryen knows about planets and alien species but not a lot about the bureaucratic practices inside the Federation. It's why she's familiar with some technology but not others.

One, I wasn't trying to make your character look dumb. I was simply working with what was there. I don't know how long Lazlo's lived on Syrae. I don't know how much he knows about the school system. Two, it's not like I've been keeping some secret about the planet's background or it's lack of influence from the Federation's control. It's right there in my very first IC post.

"She wasn’t the only one looking for a ride off world either. Quite a bit of Alexandrion’s citizens had interest in getting off world, either to visit their families or to relocate to another planet where prospects might be better. There were really three kinds of citizens in Syrae, those that worked in the mines, those that worked in science and technology, and those that worked for the miners or the scientists. Since Syrae was known to be a Federation safe haven and to have a stable government, well trained refugees were common. What that meant, however, was that current citizens received little upward mobility. Ryen had been fortunate to have her father, one of the planet’s most respected scientific minds, as a mentor. Most of her grade school friends hadn’t been so lucky. It wasn’t that the city didn’t have good schools, it was simply that they couldn’t keep up with the bright, technological minds the Federation churned out."

or more recently

Sadly, what she knew about the Federation, let alone their strongholds, was at best, lacking. Her school work had only brush on some Federation generalizations (perhaps because most people on Syrae had chosen to move there to get away from the government) and her father’s tutoring hadn’t bothered to add much. Odd, now that she thought about it, that her father had focused on language, history, technology, and major planets of the Federation without actually caring much about covering the governing body itself.

Three, whether Lazlo has twice the wisdom as the rest of the crew including Ryen is debatable.

And finally, I can't read your mind. If it isn't stated here or throughout the IC, I have no idea what your plans are. You didn't explicitly say where people were rooming so I took the lead and wrote about it in my posts. If I ask for clarification it's because I like things to be seamless and I don't like to overstep my bounds by having your character do something they wouldn't.

...and you're still not telling me whether or not you believe the school system, or any infrastructure on Syrae, would be fiscally supported by the Federation despite how I asked you directly here in the OOC.


I must have missed this somewhere. In any case, no. The schools on Syrae shouldn't be funded by the Federation. Think of it this way. Scientists and other intellectuals have fled from the Federation's oversight and established themselves on a planet. Why then would they then allow their children to go to a school funded by the Federation? They wouldn't. If such a school were on the planet, only the children of people who couldn't afford other educational options would go there.

I'm going to skip ahead in my post under the assumption that all aspects dictated under Code 5 have been followed.

Sorry. I was mid-move when you replied. Perhaps they can ETL after the crew thinks the Fess Maria has successfully evaded the attackers? Ellie should try to find out any information about the pirates. Is it possible for her to see if she can hack their ship? Ryen will be busy with repairs/damage assessment and energy control. Gunther should be getting ready in case the pirates do ETL. Quincy and Seita should... stay out of the way? Hunker down?

I hope things are going better for you. FYI. I'm in the path of this blizzard that's blowing through NE United States (I don't know what country you're in) so if the power gets knocked out it may take me a bit to respond.

Lol. Nice. Our schools around here were also canceled until Wednesday. So much snow! We got somewhere between two and three feet. I lived in DC when I was younger on Bowling Air Force Base. We were only there for two years but I really enjoyed it.

I'm working on my reply but with so much going on right now (moving + snow storm = yuck!) I'm going to be slow about it. I hope to have something up sometime this weekend.

Also, thanks for using Code 3. That's awesome! :)

FYI I have added a quick reference sheet for the codes under the "Characters" tab.

Alright. When I get a chance I'll combine the lists.

Looks like we might be in for some snow again.

The lists have been combined. I've add the manuals for the crew's technology to that tab. I keep having to reread through them (if only I had Ryen's brain implant) to remember and I get tired of searching through the IC.
