7-010: Illuminator – Mess and Recreation Deck
Where were those invention rolls you make previously, can you remember?
Is he going to be doing any study?
Aboard The Illuminator
He can spend some time setting up and thinking how he’s going to get the computer to help him research the blobs.
Then we can assume he gets hungry and heads back to the Mess deck.
While he’s been closeted away in his office, more people seem to have boarded, a few bods are lining up at the General Servery (possibly the people who eat on the ship even when it’s in dock because it doesn’t cost anything…Oliver has the Miserly disadvantage, doesn’t he?)
One of the food shops is open (a slightly up-market ‘modern cuisine’ style).
The Bar he saw open earlier is still open, and apparently serves bar meals as well as drinks. In fact that looks like Chris’ broad back on a stool near the door.
Some people are still stocking a couple of the shops with new goods, and a few people are using the recreation facilities.
In general, the Mess and Rec deck seems to have two different sorts of people in it, people who are in a hurry because they have to get some stuff done before undock, and people who are enjoying the last moments of what seems to have been a period of shore leave. Indeed, at that moment there is an announcement that the Illuminator will be leaving Dock in One Task, and the compliment should prepare for low-impact maneuvers.
Perhaps, give me a psychology roll and a perception roll.
Will Oliver engage with Chris, or avoid him?
The rolls were in 06-165 Suffolk Food Court:
“I just read the invention rules you posted too (finally reading Lia’s story).
7 on Concept.
2, 3, 3. As individual dice for time, scale as you will to whatever length it’ll take.
11 on prototype.
3, 1, 4 on testing as individual dice again.
6, 2, 2 as some extra indivudal dice if you need them.”
He might do some study as a free time activity, it may take up his Blues where he doesn’t want to work or invent, but I won’t dedicate a time slot to it yet.
Oliver does have the Miserly Disadvantage, so if he can eat for free, then he will. He’ll go for the nicest thing that doesn’t cost any money that’s currently open.
I’ll say he’ll avoid Chris (loner, and he’s here to sit quietly and listen to other people) but he won’t actively reject any approaches from any of his crew members.
He’ll eat at a table preferably near two or more people who looked dressed for business who look like they’re discussing work, if that’s plausible to do.
He rolls a 9 on Psych and a 6 on Perception.
