Move 8 (Chapter 1.8)
Time: Year 361, Month Three, Day Sixteen (Sunday), around 4 p.m.
[GM's note: perzuhrovet's information-gathering, Remi always visits the same bar, call it the Crooked Gear, on Tuesday evenings, and picks up a drink at a cafe specializing in bubble tea every morning before going in to work.]
[Also, if there's something you want to find at the station, feel free to suggest it! I already have plans for the suggested rival artist NPC.]
The Wasp
Is Kaliyan remaining on board the Wasp? If so, she (and anyone else still aboard) notices an occasional unusual humming, as though the moth is powering itself back up. Mothdrives are subject to quirks, but this one is supposed to be powered down while docked.
Alaric has discovered a way to communicate with the moth and to disable its harness (the harness is what controls the sentient-beastie component of the moth). He has not yet informed the rest of the team of this.
Meanwhile, between Alaric, Sasha, and Ankat, they've manufactured a couple of nonsentient drones to "repair" the ship and crawl about its surface. Station Moongray has taken no particular notice of them, so a few more drones, these manufactured to mimic those of Moongray's collection, have been inserted into the population and seem to have been accepted as "authentic." At a convenient time, the drones report back to the grid, including maps of the "secure" areas. The system pings Sasha's lokwor in some suitably coded fashion to let her know the information's available.
Station Moongray Welcoming Committee
Lieutenant Kel Teo is brisk about checking everyone for harmful biologicals or volatile objects. He lingers a little--just a little--when he gets to Virmad. "Everything looks fine," he says. "But I'm sure your journey has been tiring and you'd like to relax. If you want recommendations for the few decent bars on this station, I have a few."
When Teo comes to Sasha's 3D printer, he brings out a completely different scanner and makes sure that it's not going to blow up. He admires it on a purely technical level and says wistfully that he wouldn't mind more time to play with such things himself. "Of course," he says to Sasha, "if this had been a bomb I'd already be roast chicken." He doesn't seem terribly bothered by the possibility, or, for the matter, by the weakness of his Kel joke.
Everyone is given a visitor's pass, which can be worn on a lanyard (provided) or kept in a pocket. It includes limited access to the station grid and some of the entertainments on file (think Cheris's cheesy dramas). Teo also gives directions to visitor's quarters (ample space for everyone to have a room of their own, basic furnishings provided) if anyone would rather sleep on the station rather than back on the Wasp.
Once everyone has been cleared, Station Administrator Paerani Shan goes over some of the basics from the Welcome Packet, which informs them which areas are off-limits, the location of Medical in case of allergic reaction or the sniffles, always follow the instructions of safety workers with their orange armbands, e.g. in case of depressurization or chemical spill or other accident. Frankly, it's kind of an eyeglazing lecture, undoubtedly required by regulations, although she does her best with it.
Afterwards, while people are sorting themselves out, Shan asks to speak to "Rahal Dar Chresh" (Sulen) and "Rahal Virmad" (Virmad) for help with an "internal matter."
Andan Bokali smiles at "Andan Rii" (Ashari) and their assistants. "I can take you to Nirai Alissa right now, if you like, to talk about your performance space requirements. She should be in the studio right now."
Nirai Pavn invites anyone who looks at loose ends to come join him for a tour of some of their observation equipment and laboratories. If anyone looks sincerely interested in "science," he will be really, really pleased.
