F-011-Oliver: Spanial (N-Space to Jump Point), Engineering
Cargo Operations
While depressurising the Cargo Hold after they’re finished, Gregar advises Lia what he’s doing.
Oliver hears over the comm, “New software? Oh thank goodness, hopefully this means no more glitches. Tell Oliver thank you!”
Gregar nods to Oliver to check he heard that.
Engineering
Gregar stirs his tea, studying Oliver with his one eye for several seconds while Oliver mixes his saturated glucose solution.
He glances around momentarily, as if checking they’re alone (although engineering being what it is, the whole crew could probably conceal themselves in here without being spotted from where they’re standing.)
“I’m going to be honest with you. You present me with a problem. I know we’re supposed to be establishing trust with each other, but I am deeply uneasy about letting a Vizierate computer expert into Spanial’s systems.”
If you wish, you can make a Psychology roll for Oliver.
Cargo:
“No problem.”
Engineering:
“Well…” (Psyche 9 vs 10) “If it helps I was only a Vizierate computer expert for (appropriate cycles). I’ve been a regular computer expert for much longer.”
