A wild psychic bridge appears! (humans --> Beastfolk)

[claudiometer]

Guys, you're on TV.

...Which, knowing our usual track record, someone figured out after about five minutes, but. Just in case you didn't. You're on TV and everything about this is awful. I'm gonna see what I can do on this end to cause some trouble without getting dragged onto the show myself - my poor overlay doesn't deserve that.

Also. Heads up, survey says they're gonna drop a sandstorm on your asses and soon. My guess is within the next week. Start getting ready to hunker down now.

(OOC: Claudia's only just unlocked this move, so she's the only one on the bridge. You have her for about 20 minutes. Human-side investigators, Claudia would have coordinated with you guys before doing this, but that'll be in a mingle toplevel I don't have the brain for tonight; hit me up on plurk or the OOC post if there's something in particular they'd relay!)

Sandstorms mean lots of fabric. Cover doors, cover windows, cover yourself, especially your face. And hunker down, don't try to go out. Gonna lose some of the food still out in the fields from that shit probably, which will suck for these guys, but if we can get as much inside as possible, could be okay.

Also, can you livestream any of what the station you're on is like?

[He wants to compare it to Moebius tech, okay. Naoki's comments left him annoyedly concerned that they could be related.]

[claudiometer]

At least someone down there knows how to survive this crap. I also highly suspect plenty of you have been supplementing the food stores.

Yeah, sure. [And she does, mainly focusing on the display screens - it's the main tech option they've got around, after all - and briefly showing off the tablets and thought-interface.]

[itsananimalthing]

[That doesn't look anything like Moebius tech. That's something of a relief. If this is even remotely the same universe, it's nowhere near the same time. Humans just remain shitty everywhere.]

Some. Don't exactly trust unicorn milk for Tara. Thanks for the heads up, though, time to prepare is important with sandstorms.

[claudiometer]

Absolutely. Might as well make this whole thing slightly less bullshit, right?

[itsananimalthing]

Don't think there's much that can do that.

Don't suppose you could see what kind of weapons systems that station has, couldja? Any changes we make down here would be pointless if they can just bomb the shit out of from orbit.

[claudiometer]

That's why I said slightly less.

Also? That's the hilarious thing. They don't believe in bombs. Why waste resources on things that go boom if you have kill drones with deadly neurotoxins? Those leave behind whatever space they wanna clear out more or less intact.

They're also a lot easier to stop with the right programming know-how. The petard they've set themselves up for hoisting upon is pretty epic.

[itsananimalthing]

Well. Shit. That's gonna make our life way fuckin' easier. Kill drones ain't gonna stop us puttin' down new hubs.

So long as we got somebody takin' care of the drones, we're set.

[claudiometer]

Doesn't it, though?

Granted, that's not the only possible way to wipe everything and start over, so you guys still have cause to be careful. But they're not going to nuke it from orbit.

[itsananimalthing]

We'll just hafta deal with that shit, first, then. Though they'd have a hell of a hard time wiping me out, no matter what they try. Never tried surviving weapons of mass destruction, but can't be worse than rivers of fire.

[claudiometer]

I would not put 'turn off all the life support' past 'em.

[That probably would be worse than rivers of fire, but the fact that Riddick can rank this stuff at all sure says a lot.]

[itsananimalthing]

You know, I don't actually know if that'd kill me. Rather not test it out, though. We'll just have to make sure they don't turn off the life support.

[claudiometer]

That we will.
