8-220: Merchant Freighter Spanial – Cargo Hold

“Givenn it xould bee a trrillion kilometerrs to the nexst lannding place, I woulld use a tetherr line.”

If Lia wants to jump, tell me where she’s aiming for on the Hopper and what she’s doing.  She should roll Vacc Suit and DX, I’ll give her a bonus for Flexibility. Alternately, feel free to ask questions or talk to Prrri. Text:   SinceI don’t know how to free fall through space or what a Hopper is, I can’tactually tell you where she’s aiming for or what she’s doing. She has no moreidea than I do here.

Sorryto sound frustrated but is there a reason Lia is doing something lifethreatening when she has no skills in this area?

  

OK, I didn’t make myself clear, I was wondering if she jumps will she aim for the middle or the edge of the bottom of the Hopper that she can see.

I guess the reason is because the crew of this merchant ship are jury-rigging a dangerous and illegal mission based on what they could scrounge, and Lia has said she’ll test the Hopper.  The Hopper was in the Hold and not the Hangar and so there’s no proper launch facility from here, everyone is just getting by trying to launch an untested space vehicle using the cargo crane. 

Two points:

1. Just because Prrri suggests it, doesn’t mean it’s the best approach.  
2. Lia can always say, “I didn’t sign up for this shit!” and refuse (because, yes, this is dangerous).

    

Does this help?
