I take out my gun and aim it at her. "I am, for obvious reasons, going to detain you, 'Kem'. I do hope that you don't mind."

Asru grumbles as she lifts her hands in the air.
"Yes captain," she sighs. "But may I make one request? Can Chess work a double shift? If I'm being detained that means no one's working the second weapons station."
She probably doesn't realize that means she's not at her post. You also probably shouldn't forget to leave the jumper cable in front of the door like the message says.

(Sorry it took me all day to respond)
I leave the jumper cable at the door, assuming that I have it with me (I forget if I did), and escort my new prisoner to the brig. It seems that everyone on this ship is a suspicious character.

(Oops. Forgot to reply. Still better than you, though, with the ISRP you never even started)
Officer Hollis, the male, looks at you as you walk in and performs a salute.
"Hello Captain! Chief Kaminski is currently out with Mateo Abrantes as part of rehabilitation."
Well, you already knew that, considering the fact that the "rehabilitation" was currently being done in the docking bay. Granted it seems like Hollis's wife hasn't returned to this section of ship yet after having gone planetside with you, not to mention you think Kaminski currently has them on rotating shifts.

(I'm planning on waiting until it's been about a year and a half and then posting it by surprise.)
"Hollis, I found this individual claiming to be Kem Argi loitering around, and likely trying to gain access to, a restricted section of the ship. Put her in a holding cell until we can at least identify her."

"Oh, that won't be necessary, captain. The members of the security team as well every ranked Third-In-Command and up have access to an individual's identity chip."
That was new. Identity chips, which are a form of birth certificate and social security number that is injected into an individual after birth, have been in use since even before the Keeper Wars, but considering the nature of the data on these chips they're usually off limits except to select security and business personnel. Even captains aren't usually allowed to touch them, but considering all of the laws this ship breaks regularly, it seems that the Board doesn't really care what you do on here, so long as Andrea is left unharmed.
Hollis pulls out a scanner, not surprising since technology has to be hidden for the technomancers, and pushes a few buttons.
"Here we are. Name: Asru Sha, Race: Zathrelle, Station: Weapons Station B. Your orders, captain?"

"Asru Sha, what were you doing in a restricted area of the ship?"

"Well, Captain, I was curious: Why would the famed Captain Robert Edwards block off access to what is the only way to the most important part of the ship? It doesn't seem logical. So, I got overwhelmed by a mixture of curiosity and paranoia and went in to see for myself," Asru replies like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"If I may, I don't think that allows us to defy the captain's orders," Officer Hollis retorts.
"Really then? Let me ask you: If the captain said that he were going to jail his second-in-command and appoint some kind of necrophiliac, serial killing pedophile to take said second-in-command's place, would you accept it?"
"That... That's a rather extreme example, don't you think?"
"And? Don't you humans have that 'Holocaust' thing in your past? Wasn't that 'extreme?'"
"Well, it's certainly off topic," Officer Hollies grumbles.
"How about you, Captain Edwards? If you were a simple worker on this ship and your captain did that what would you have done?" Asru carries on like she was making common sense. In her mind she probably was.

"I don't need to explain myself to you. Unless you want to spend your time in the brig with what's becoming almost half the crew by now you need to explain yourself to me. What did you want in the engine room?"

"It's as I said! I want to know what you're hiding from me!"
"That's not what you said at all..."
"Huh? Were you even listening to me?" Asru snaps back at Officer Hollis. "Anyways, it's obvious you're hiding something there or there wouldn't have been a problem. C'mon, what's the secret?"
"Captain, would you like me to ready the cell?" Officer Hollis interrupts. "I mean, it'll be awkward since we only have three cells, but I'm sure that we can just squeeze anyone else in one of the rooms. Should be fine as long as they're not with Andrea."
Seems like Hollis doesn't quite yet realize what everyone's been saying about Andrea still being a danger regardless of whether or not she's free. You don't even know whether or not she's controlling this ship somehow.

"Yes, get a cell ready for her. I'll also need to have guards assigned to the engine room, now: I don't want any other potential saboteurs trying to sabotage my ship."

"Yes sir! Although, if I may, we've barely enough men to manage just this facility. I'll have to talk to the Chief about that before we add another place under our watch."
It makes sense, since there's only three security guards.
Actually, speaking of being understaffed, now that Asru's in a cell who's going to manage her weapon station? If you recall correctly, Chess is the other Weapons Station B officer but even the Ta need their rest.

I'll need to read through everyone's folio to see if some people would be able to work two jobs, or if any of the maintanence crew could be easily trained as a reserve for Weapons Station B.

Since all of the stations bar command, security, maintenance, cafeteria and medical, of which the latter two were already being handled by just one person, had only two people working on them it was highly doubtful. Besides, the vast majority of the ship's crew wasn't even formally trained, so switching to something entirely new would be complete hell. You could try having Alissa or Sunola from Weapons Station A take turns doing a double shift while Chess is off but as said before, they're not military and are highly likely to resist if they feel like they're being overworked. The fighter pilots Jakti and Ulysses might be able to do it and with no problems concerning scheduling as they are both former military, however that means if you're attacked all of a sudden while Chess is off you won't be able to deploy both fighters immediately, since you have to wait for Chess to arrive and take over and then wait for whoever you choose to arrive at the fighter shuttle for deployment. That's also not mention that Ulysses and Jakti may not be trained to operate the ship's weapon. Awkwardly enough the pilot Howard is highly qualified to operate, but then again looking through his credentials you are shocked to discover that there's basically nothing he can't pilot or operate, a unheard feat that's basically inhuman. However, barring the fact you're gonna need his story for that, you can already see the problem with giving your ship's pilot double shifts.
You could try having your brother or Lieutenant Greengrove operate it, but you already know that Miranda, being ex-infantry, isn't adept at command and even less qualified to use the ship's weapon. As for the maintenance idea, while not a bad one, you'll have to talk to your two Heads of Maintenance, William and Amanda. There are, after all, a couple dozen maintenance workers so it'll save time looking for a qualified member by having their recommendation. In addition, those two would probably be upset if you were to try and steal a worker from them. After all, part of their job is to protect worker's rights.

(Suppose it's bout time to say goodbye to this. I'm not sure, but this may be my longest thread on BC (Though certainly not in general. Some threads in RPF would dwarf this), and it's also the time I remember for all of the effort I had to put into making not just a few characters but a whole fucking crew of them.)

I already have plans in mind for how to get Othan to interact with Duck's characters, though I'm thinking that he'll be more likely to interact with Duck's as-yet-unnamed nobleman character than Alfred, at least initially.) |

I was so happy to hear that Nizeston was gonna be fighting. I was thinking he was just gonna laze around or something, but fighting not only for but with a dragon is amazing.) |

He also has plans of his own which I've made so that none of the other NPCs that you've met so far know of and he has strategic ideas in mind for how to win another war against Eredal, but I'm curious as to whether or not you can think of those plans and strategies first.) |

(I'm not good at coming up with original military strategies either; I just read enough to get the general gist of how Caesar did his campaigns and how the Crusades worked and so forth. It helps that we're taking several days to talk about what our master strategist characters are discussing over the course of half an hour.) |

After the little talk here I've decided to change the setting so it's the same as the one in Traverse, just at a different period of time (Whether that's during the Helper Wars, before it or after it I don't know. What I do know is that it won't be taking place after Traverse cause a lot of crazy shit was supposed to go down here (Namely two wars: One was a free for all between the Keepers, a group called the Nethilan Empire, and an even larger group called the Trinity (Which is comprised of (Spoilers!) Revelation, the Helpers and a race called the Aruth'Mekai (End Spoilers (No I don't know how to make spoilers))), and following that is a much, much bigger war between the Milky Way galaxy and some "friendly" neighbors who live in the nearby ones.)) Anyways, when I decide what to do and how to do it, I'll let you know) |
