At last!, we are in space! What should we do first?

>>34163
check FUEL GAUGE

then find a mineral rich asteroid

>>34163
Hey what minerals are valuable in the FUTURE? If we're going to be a mining ship we should know.

>>34165
also, I forgot: paint bullet-bill teeth and eyes on the ship. Arms will come later, once we have metal and circutry.

What should we do first?

DANCE PARTY!


Seriously. Hold a party. Get to know the newly freed slaves. Make sure they know theyre not slaves anymore.

Play asteroids! pew pew pew SKOOSH

We still have 20 years of nuclear energy…

From what Melanie could find on the area network, there are mainly 2 things to mine from asteroids, mineral and radioactives, there are a couple special type of resources, but they can only be found after digging so I guess well get to them when we actually find some…

Now a party is a fine idea, lets do that :3

>>34195
Compliment Melanie on her fashion sense.

Hot with a capital H-O-T

>>34195
Minerals is kind of vague. They'd vary in value depending on what they are exactly. Well I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

And let's make it a theme party! Wait, do we have the resources for that?

>>34195
I would pet that pussy...cat.

Put on respectable clothes.

>>34198
Mine shit. Build party supplies. Make a party barge. Party.

We should also decide how the ship is going to be run. I suggest you become communists to distance yourselves from the society that enslaved you to begin with.

Next time we arrive on a port or trade center, I’ll ask how much it will cost to paint the whole ship…

I compliment Melanie on her fashion sense… she purrs a lot and ask me if I wanna put one of her dresses… maybe another time…

The party doesn’t go so well… most of the ex-slaves doesn’t believe in our promise of freedom, they look ratter scared of the whole thing… most also would like to know what should they do…

We have almost 100 people in the ship, different races and genders… but most of them don’t know anything useful… maybe we should start teaching them stuff… after the party of course… :3

Oh geez~

Give an inspiring speech about how though you are all former slaves, you now have a chance to carve out a life free from bondage and the tyranny of others. It will be difficult, but if everyone can work together for the greater good someday you will all be able to find a place to call home. No more fear of being worked to death by the uncaring haute bourgeoisie, or your children being enslaved and forced to commit unspeakable acts.

holy what? we bought 200C worth of slaves and now we have nearly a hundred crew members? what, did we go to the red-shirted ensign clearance sale?

Jen was bought for 100C, okay, so she has useful skills. But these guys would have to average less that 2.50C each. I'd be astonished if they can tie their shoes without strangling themselves. They certainly don't have all their body parts or vital organs attached, because even someone capable of light lift and carry work should be worth 25C. Hell, the broken robot was 20.

Seems like that got them more relaxed… my face is all red now… it’s the first time I speak to so many people…

(They where cheap, because they don’t know nothing…)

>>34235
Talk to little miss eyepatch. She seems... displeased.

>>34235
Okay Jen this is what you need.
First find out there size strengths, weekness's, abillities.
Then organize them to perform tasks based on said abillities.
People who are strong give them tasks that require heavy lifting or have them on guard duty.
People who are vigilant give them monitering duties.
People who are smart, problem solving.
If all of them suck give them a task you think would fit them if they suck at it send them to do something else and place another person in charge. You also may want to pick up some friendly grizzeled washed up vetren pilot or something to show teach them.

How old are you, Eri, Lisa, and Melanie anyway?

>>34235
Yeah... you're going to have to get some of these guys to research minerals and shit. What locations they are found, values, useful information of the market for minerals and stuff like that.

Otherwise we aren't going to be a very good mining ship.

Do they have an internet equivalent in the FUTURE?

>>34245
In the future the internet is only 4chan

>>34235
>(They where cheap, because they don’t know nothing…)
wh- but- nn- hrrg- just- no! I am cool with the devaluation of sentient life in a society with slaves, but this is ridiculous. From a strictly utilitarian standpoint, these people are worth more than that even untrained. If you can stand up straight without drooling on yourself, you can be a waiter, a porter, or straight up manual labor. Then there is STILL the potential value after training them.
Unless Jen's last name is MacGyver, these guys would need to be both untrainable and vegetative to justify the worth disparity between them.

>>34247
Considering how cheap a whole damn ship is...

Total inventory assessment: Who are our skilled personel? We'll be spending a lot of time in space, we should get a rotation of training programs started that any of them can sign up for, taught by the skilled personel. This way, ideally, we can have many hands to call upon in the event of an emergency.
Not all the classes have to be boring skills however. I'm sure dance instructing or cooking would go over really well too. We'll have to make an announcment too regarding whether or not any of them want to teach anything, no matter how mundane.
This'll keep morale high, the crew occupied and usefull, and it'll promote quick thinking and adaptablity.

Yearly salary is a good estimate of the worth placed on different jobs. The average unskilled, floor mopping office janitor makes one quarter what the average top level senior engineer makes in a year. I stand by the 25C a head number I estimated earlier. http://www.payscale.com

And with that, I recognize that I am raging over something which does not, in the end matter. So, having made my argument, I am going to go sit in timeout for a while.

Lets see, I have 19 years, I was in the engineering training area for slaves until I was 8, then I was moved to the pilot training area for 5 more years, that’s 13 years of training and then I was bought…

The regular slaves are in concentration camps, they are feed other death slaves and are keep there until they die, the galaxy produces more slaves than food, and that makes the price very damn cheap…

Eri is 25 and is a skilled medic…
Melanie is 13…
Lisa wont tell me her age… :/

I put everyone in rotation, I ask anyone with knowledge to teach the rest, I try to let people do what they fell like doing… most of them seem very exited about learning new stuff…

Guys! Enough of the economical and staff planning! There's a party going on. Let's get back to the fun and hugging. :3

guys, it's not that everything is cheap

it's that you just brought in enough weapons to lead a rebellion

>>34266
Is that creepy robot watching you back there, Jen?

D:

Well what are some long-term plans? Maybe find a world and settle it ourselves or something?

>>34372

SPACE PIRATES!

FIRST WE NEED TUUUUUUUBES THEN GO PLUNDER STUFF!

Name our ship "Freedom Train". We are starting an underground railroad. We won't start doing anything for a few years so we don't attract attention and can pick up assets. Our end goal is equality for all beings. It's ambitious, I know, but we will get there someday.

Did we junk the old cargo ship?

We should eventually get some small fighter craft or combat drones to store in the hangar for protection. AA guns are great, but nothing beats a combat air patrol.

If anyone is thinking of attacking us for loot, tell them the following. You leave us alone. We give you a small bit of the money we make. We tell you if anyone is encroaching on your turf. We advise other people to take up the same practice. You get cash and intel for zero risk. The reward/risk ratio doesn't get much higher than infinity.

I'd ask Mr. Ratman what the people on that planet would buy and start making that stuff.

Train engineering and electronics to level 5 as soon as possible. Then train mining so we can start using Mining Laser II's.

>>34396
This isn't Eve. Otherwise we'd be spending most of the Quest staring blankly at our screens, drooling out of mind-crippling boredom.

“…”

I’ll let the people have fun, I have to plan carefully our next moves… I can party some other day…

We used the cargo ship for spares and raw material to build some miner drones, we are kinda short on minerals to build ships…

The last time I talked to Melanie she said all the asteroids around here are claimed… and I guess most of the ones in this sector are… maybe we should approach one and explore further…

Also, happybot thinks he needs to stay close for if I need him… it’s a little creepy…

>>34411

Don't worry about HappyBot, I'm sure he just wants t- TUUUUUUUUUBBEEEEEES!!!

>>34411
Melanie sure seems in a good mood... oh my gosh, that space spore is altering her personality!

What kind of tube is that, anyway?

A part for a weapon, for water pipes, what is it?

>>34416

That's Lisa

>>34421
Names my old nemesis, we meet again.

My point was that the usually dour one-eyed human female is demonstrating abnormal behavior (and has a red eye) which coincides with the presence of the space spore atop her head.

>>34422

Hopefully it's just a Metroid reference and nothing serious, otherwise IT'S SPACE PIRATE TIME!

>>34411
Happybot is probably just crushing on you because you're the first person to ever want him around. It's probably nothing to worry about. After all, he's a robot! What could he possibly do?
Lisa sure looks happy. It's a nice change! Ask her why she's happy.

>>34411
...I just realized that beside resembling baby metroids, the spore also look like the aliens that would latch onto people's heads in futurama.

>>34437

Hug Happybot.

>>34437

Let's see if we can fine an asteroid to mine. It can be our practice run.

Lets do one of two things:

1: find an asteroid that no one is around, stealth and mine.

2: find a mining company, sign on as freelance. Would mean that in exchange for only keeping part of the profits, you can mine on many more locations than you normally could.

...wait, you guys are going to use this for actual mining? I thought this was a front for smuggling more guns. Did you guys somehow miss the whole gigantic profit margin thing?

>>34445

Must have. That works too

>>34445
Nooooo

That'd make us no better than the pig. We can earn money the honest way without causing suffering.


Oh, and start rubbing your nose against Lisa's. I'm sure she'd appreciate that. :3

>>34453
>noserubbing

She's probably already been raped enough, i don't think she needs more.

>>34456
Her owners were all humans, anything with bold blood would have been a slave.

>>34458
That doesn't at all change what I said.

>>34462
Sure it does. It means she's never had her nose rubbed before, which means she's never been raped!

Sure, gunrunning is profitable, but we eithe need to:

Make the guns, in which case we need materials and schematics, and so we have to mine since we have no money now.

Buy the guns to sell at higher prices, but again we have pretty much no money now.

Just because we start out mining doesn't mean we keep doing it, it is just that currently, Mining is pretty much the only thing we can do with what we currently have (unless you want to be an interplanetary farmer's market).

>>34466
agreed. No gun running in the slow-as-balls lightly-defended mining vessel.
We are going to be stuck with mining for a while I think. Or possibly large scale food production, if slaves are cheaper that produce around here. We could try to get a bit more of the ship converted to food production, though we would have to be more careful with the spores if we go that route.

Search harder. Look for the super-dangerous areas of space that no one in their right mind would ever consider mining. That's where we'll find the good stuff.

Well, I decide to get closer to one of the asteroids, they are all protected by satellites and some have weapons mounted…

…almost all the asteroids are mined by independent persons,… I chose this one, because the craters are big enough to hide the ship and there are no visible weapons mounted on it, … there is a mining platform on the other side of the asteroid, we could check it out later if we build a scout…
…the cloak works, and we can approach without being detected, I put the few miner drones on rotation and set the construction computer to build more when we get enough material…

There is a sector in this asteroid field called the chaos MNCROME area, there asteroids collide all the time, and most ships are destroyed in a matter of seconds, even capital ships… I guess if we could survive inside, we’d be relatively safe…

(and also, I wont talk about noserubbing or anything like that from my past… )

>>34525
What about... future noserubbing?

You are free you know. You can find real love now, Jen.

>>34525

Let's just mine here for a bit. Not too long. The miners here will be all over our asses if they find us. We my want to send a scout ship out to the MNCROME area to see if they can find a good spot to hide out.

>>34525
Can we scan it to find what minerals it has? Or shall we have to wait until the first mining drone comes with a sample to know what we've got?

Just... keep an eye out. Be careful Jen.

All is going as planned, one scout drone is complete, and several mineral ones…

…minerals are 80%metal, 15%radioactive and there is a 5% crystal content, used to build lasers…

I don’t think the miners here can see us… but if anything happens, I’ll try to get out as fast as the ship can…

>>34541
If they catch you just use your awesome face.

Well make sure that if you go mine, to mine cautiously.

Stay out of harms way and such.

We should build a smaller decoy ship that we can launch whenever it ooks like someone might be after us. The enemies will go follow that small unmanned craft and hopefully continue to not notice us.

>>34541

But what if we wants to meet the miners?

Can we get at least a visual on how they would look like?

>>34554
Yes! We should ask those big strong miners if they can help teach us how to safely delve deeply into dangerous caverns for profit and fun!

>>34541
A stealthy escape would be preferable to a speedy and highly noticeable escape.

I am imaging a slow-as-fuck mining ship painted like Bullet Bill with dozens of turrets and lasers scattered all over it and hunks of scrap metal bolted to the outside for makeshift armor and two giant grappler arms sticking out the sides. Shit is epic.

I don't think other miners will be happy to deal with us. We are competition for resources.

>>34557
>>34554

Or they'll be SUPER angry that you're mining away their profits. I think it's a great idea to NOT meet these miners if at all possible.

Keep being stealthy. If we can move to a better spot, then take it.

>>34541
80%metal, 15%radioactive and there is a 5% crystal content

Uh... is our equipment a little more advanced? I mean do we have iron on our hands or gold? I mean hell we could have mercury on our hands and that won't be good to build lasers with.

Plus, the "rescue" might involve having to fight slaves who think you're thieves. Most people aren't gonna believe that someone's just come along and free them for free as it were.

>>34584
we can always come back and try again later, but right now trying to break in would be suicide.


Unless some of the other passengers on the ship have skills that could be applied here, such as stealthy sabotage.

>>34586
you wont have to worry about that, slaves never fight back... they’ll be loyal to the one that wins in the end...

There might be something in the idea of trying SOMETHING with this place though. If it's just slaves, they're probably not going to question someone with authority much...

How about if we go to the place with Lisa? We can pretend that she's coming to inspect the place or something, and Jen could be her voice, shouting at people who get in the way or question.

>>34590

Also, if this is true, then just tell the slaves that they're surrounded. You've taken over the asteroid and there are five other ships cloaked, waiting for these guys to argue the claim. They can either give you their mined material or DIE!

>>34593
the slaves are not in controll, the security bots are, and they are linked to whoever put the base there....

Foiled!

Even if we freed these slaves, our ship is already near full capacity. We'd just be leaving them here to die. D:

If it's a base with slaves, robots, and no master, can we legally claim it as salvage?

Jen says right here >>34595 that the bots are linked to the boss. If we screw with the place they'd know pretty quick.

>>34600
Hm. Y'know what? Maybe we should start a colony somewhere. Y'know, claim some unclaimed land. Get a farm going. Make our own little community. And we'll free and bring back slaves to join and help defend it. Wouldn't that be awesome? We'd be like freedom fighters!

Its true… we don’t have more constructed living quarters, but that doesn’t mean we cant build more of them in the plenty of cargo space this ship has…

All habitable planets and much of the inhabitable ones are colonized…

Also, the scout made some scans of the asteroid interior on the way back…

>>34635
I say we leave for the moment. When and if we get a bigger ship or another ship we can come back and help.

Let's head to a steel factory to sell some of this iron so they can turn it into steel. They we can acquire some steel to make into better stuff, although we still want to keep a profit.

>>34635
Cargo? You are putting the slaves in the cargo hold?

So you admit that they are just things to you? Just objects to be tossed in the hold and forgotten?

I... I trusted you, Jen. ;-;

Anyway, all that aside, just finish up mining as inconspicuously as possible.

>>34639
I said construct living quarters in the cargo areas >_<;;

rescuing as many slaves as possible as soon as possible is not going to go well in the long term. Eventually we will be found by someone mean, and if we are just a giant tasty looking candy with a yummy slave filling, everybody is just gonna get sold back into slavery again.
We need to focus on securing enough money, space, food, and above all, defenses, that we can PROTECT the slaves we free long enough for it to matter. Make a note to come back here later, when we can really do something good.

Only thing left to do is be happy with Melanie for a little while.

Fine. We wont go in guns ablazing.
Lets head in and attempt verbal subterfuge. How hard are security bots to trick? Maybe we can convince them they have new orders. Maybe we can convince them we're like... slave inspectors... or something...

...couldn't we mine a path straight through the asteroid to where the slaves are, thereby bypassing all the defensive weaponry?

look, it's not a matter of CAN we at this point, it's a matter of SHOULD we. And if we go around stealing slaves, we are gonna get the authorities on us SO HARD and then we ALL go back to the slave block. We need to consolidate our position, and it would be better to BUY slaves instead of stealing them as much as possible.

Okay, okay. Do we have any left after building lasers? Or WILL we have any left after building lasers?

Doesn't Jen and company have weaponry and armor?

If there is only a few mounted weapons inside the base with the slaves being captured, then it's best to take advantage of the situation right now.

If the Masters return, they may have more than just a few added guns. They may have soldiers or other sorts of backup.

It's time to man up, arm yourselves and get ready for battle. Take some of the freed slaves with you and go on the rescue mission.

You can't start a revolution to free slaves if you'll miss a good opportunity like this when it shows up.

Plan for the rescue mission, earn back the respect of the others.

Forgot to mention:

If you give up before you even try, then you will never succeed at what you truly want. For Jen to not even try is something that a good leader would never do.

Things will not be easy, especially in such a cruel universe for someone in her position. But she will have to take risks to accomplish her goals.

Now go out there and save those slaves.

It's ok Jen. Just try not to think of the beatings they'll get when the missing ore is discovered, or how they will be slaves for the rest of their lives, which won't even last that long due to their savage work.

Especially try to avoid thinking of the female slaves like you, that will end up suffering all kinds of horrible abuse because of this.

Just sleep in your big comfy bed.

Stop that, it's creepy, goddamn.

The plan:
1: don't get caught, don't draw attention to ourselves.
2: earn a steady income using as legitimate a method as reasonably possible
3: reinvest that money steadily into improving our ability to create additional wealth, defend ourselves, and increase available living space.
4: buy more slaves as step 3 allows/demands and repeat.
This method avoids attracting unwarranted attention and ensures that the people we save are not going to be greeted with worse conditions after our rescue.
5: If all goes smoothly, (ha ha yeah right) eventually we will find ourselves with at least one enormous capital ship, a fleet of support craft, and crew to man them.
5b: We will also find ourselves in a sector where slaves have become more valuable, simply due to scarcity. That should improve conditions for all the slaves we have YET to free as well.
6: Once these conditions are met, we will be in a position do demand, by force if necessary, that slavery be abolished across the whole of known space.

Yay! The robots are going to liberate the slaves for us! Yay!

If anything, this event should reinforce the fact that:

ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

If we go around allowing our desire for hugs and warm-good-happy feelings to dictate our actions, we'll keep digging ourselves deeper into trouble as shit continues to pile up. Buy the robot and make it happy, buy slaves and make them free, it's all good and well and might help you sleep at night, but you're messing up your future.


Now deal with this, and keep a firm commitment to the fact that you can't afford to do everything that seems good at the time. Yes the right thing to do might be to free those slaves, but it wouldn't be good for everyone in the future. You'll just bring about attention that will get you all captured.

Which is true, you know. correct decisions are not always the easy ones.

>>34856

No. Gunning for the mining camp is suicide. The controlling company will find out instantly, and send up a REAL security taskforce rather than what we can assume is just a skeleton force. Meanwhile we're in a slow, unarmed mining ship, and on capture every last one of us is saleable property. It's like assaulting someone by throwing a big bag of money at their head.

Define the operating parameters of "free"
Is this going to involve them dying?
You know what? Explain your whole plan to me. If I agree that it would make her happy - and indeed, if you've thought it through it should very obviously - then I'll sign off on it. And see that you get more authority around the ship to boot.

Happybot, we don't have beds for all the slaves yet. We don't have enough food. If we do that now, everyone will be sad. Master will be sad. We have to wait till we are ready.

>>34923
Nonsense. That is sad thinking. Look on the bright side, chum. More hugs for everyone!

>>34918
This is going to waste a lot of resources, attract a lot of unwanted attention, and bring in people that we don't have room for. It's a bad idea.

In other words, it's exactly the type of thing we've been doing the whole quest. Why stop now?

This would be a good thing to try when we have somewhat more resources. For the time being, we need to get ourselves self-sufficient and defended.

Besides, we can't approve a plan with such serious repercussions on our own.

>>34929

oh my god, I am glad I can see this quest

DESTROY GUARDBOTS

SMILE AT SLAVES

MOON SLAVE OWNERS

>>35195

Faster Happybot. Kill those guards. Make master proud.

oh, also- attempt to merely disable as many guardbots as possible so we have working circuits and machinery to play with later

Happybot, what is best in life?

<Joyful Exclamation> Crush your enemies, free their slaves, and hear the celebration of the Master.

That is good.

This quest is definitely going places.

Try and find some Happy Missiles.

Duck the blast, return fire with an EMP weapon if possible.

That works better. SET FIRE FUCK YEAH!

Attempt at disabling guards without damaging… INEFFECTIVE

It's ok Happybot. Let's go set fire to the refinery. Or block the airlock if it's closer. Let's smash this place up if we can't save any parts. Tell the slaves to bring valuable stuff with them.

I instruct the other bots to remember the ex-slaves to bring the machinery used for mining…

I instruct the non-explosive miner bots to take whatever they can carry of the farm into the ship…

I think the master will be very happy with our work. Let's go back and report to her.
