Bio
New roleplay: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/189457-the-eye-of-the-needle-where-fantasy-and-sci-fi-collide/ooc
Hey, I'm Catharyn! I joined the Roleplayer Guild on 2nd Feb 2011, then rejoined on the 17th Jan 2014 after Guildfall.
I was active every day until late 2015, accruing (i think) around 7k posts across dozens of roleplays. Then, I started working and had to gradually slow down my RP schedule. In 2017, I officially went on hiatus when other commitments got fully in the way of roleplaying.
This continued until the COVID-19 pandemic hit, when I suddenly realised I had a lot more free time in lockdown! So in mid-2020, I returned to the Guild with a vengeance. I also managed to get The Cradle 1x1 off the ground - a story i've had percolating for almost a decade.
My posting schedule has slowed down a bit now that the world has opened up again. I still love science fiction, fantasy and espionage themes, and generally aim for around 300 words per post.

@Catharyn ah shite. oh well then. ill work with what i got !
Give me a shout if you have any questions! I'm going to start work on my next post tonight.
@Catharyn the idea is essentially that he needed this ai. He is heavely cybernetic. And he cant run allof the systems in his body properly. Thats why he has an ai to make sure one of his lungs stops working.
An in-suit computer would likely be a more rational choice for running his mechanical systems. AIs have the processing power to functionally co-ordinate an entire fleet of spaceships, so running a couple of lungs would be the most menial job imaginable for them. Thebes, the only AI currently in the roleplay, is desperately bored while effectively running every automated security system on an entire moon as well as lots of droids.
For that reason it'll be quite difficult to explain why your AI would live inside a cybernetic body just to keep it running unless you kept it under duress or had some strange relationship going on with it. I'm happy to work with you on a reasonable explanation if you like?
Going to post tonight or tomorrow been busy as hell
Great, looking forward to it! I'm at work now but i'll take a look at all the latest posts on my lunch break
Hi all, i've finally had time to get to a computer!
Heya, welcome. Tiny shuttles are permissible as most of the basic technology is pretty widely available. FTL capable high end luxury craft will obviously be a lot more hard to come by but generic transport vessels are like cars of our age. Of course to move FTL in a tiny craft like that, you'll probably have to book passage aboard a large vessel.
AIs however will be a little bit harder to explain. They are generally not available to the average consumer and are limited to large companies/organisations and governments. This is because of a combination of intentional bottle necking of the technology and the vast expense involved in their upkeep. Its not impossible that your character would be travelling with one but it'll need some thought.
@Ozymandias Ok that's good to know we haven't left dry dock yet. My idea is that im a scientist who has himself a tiny ass shuttle. That was able to get himself to the moon. He is essentially also after the same knowledge you guys are after and may try to join the ship. Also he has an AI sidekick. Just checking this idea with you to see if it's okay.

I'm legit scared for the populace of RX right now.
Damn! Shit's happening that we can't react to
Don't speak too soon ;)
Most people use lightweight, low profile spacesuits with collapsible helmets. This provides them with protection against the atmosphere and clean oxygen to breathe. You can get away with just a mask but the conditions on RX aren't really very hospitable. Does that answer the question?
Wow, having to wonder how to do this right is difficult. Am I trespassing my authority?
Theoretically, i think so?
The captain of the ship is still on board so i believe the crew would take their orders from him over you. There is always a chance you could convince the Captain to go with your course of action if you lay out a well enough reasoned argument? I'm not exactly clear on how a chain of command works when the commanding officer isn't in the room etc. Could someone more versed in military hierarchy confirm?Morning all!
Great posts guys, however I've noticed some mention of the Scythian being inside a hangar. This isn't the case; while there are some hangars available, the Scythian is sitting in the open atmosphere. This is partly because its significantly larger than the transports RX's spaceport was built to accommodate.
In light of this, could we tweak any reference to hangars in our posts regarding the Scythian please? @ozymandias and i will be jumping into the collab one more time today to finish off our post and then its ready to post!
