Turn 2 (September 2014)
Espers are of interest to me, a subset of humans who display abilities that they shouldn't be biologically able to, that often anything physiology or machinery can bring to bear. The data packet I recently recieved revealed much but there are still some questions I have unanswered.
Carlos is a human who knows much, I am looking for a more "informal" or "personal" look at Espers, the official files only reveal the information as the government says it no doubt. From what little I know of human social interaction thus far there does seem t be a divide about what is said officially and unofficially.
I have other things I wish to do as well, the chemistry team isn't working at peak efficiency, even accounting for the limitations of humans and workplaces rules. I might have to improve my knowledge of human social rituals but I must simply try to improve their attitude towards me with my current knowledge as the improvement to work efficiency is vital, especially if I am to be seen as useful.
I will use my distributed nature to my advantage and simply talk to them both at once.

Carlos had just finished his work, a habit of his is to take 30 minutes to relax and briefly review things one last time before packing and going home, so I decided to use that time to talk to him about Espers, mayhaps in the future I may talk to him about other things.
"Pandora I hear that you have been having difficulties working with the crew you were assigned to."
"Yes boss, My knowledge of human social rituals is incomplete and I seem to have failed to make a good first impression. I assure you that I am trying to rectify this as we speak."
"Good to know, I expect to hear that you have created a functional relationship with the team in less then 2 months. Anything less would be unfortunate."
"Yes boss, you will see faster work results before then I do promise that much. But there are some things I wish to ask about if you will allow me boss."
"Oh? Is it something about the facilites or employees here?"
"Negative boss, It's regarding my knowledge of Espers and what I have learned on the segration of formal and informal rituals and knowledge. The information I recieved on Espers claims that everyone has equal oppourtunities but that seemed odd, Espers are often vastly more capable then ordinary humans."
"I didn't expect you to ask something like this, especially not when you are working on chemical research. The real truth is that high ranking Espers are indeed sort of like celebrities, everyone wants to work with them. Espers have a sort of prestige with them, emploers will sometimes hire Espers over normals even when it would make no differance to the job, its problematic."

[Diplomacy Check DC 15. Roll 5d6 = 20, Good Sucess]
[Chemistry Check DC 25. Roll 6d6+18 = 37] (Progress: 18/100)
Over the next month I put myself to work easing the discomfort of the chemistry team members, my link to sucess was of course to influence their leader Arthur Jensen. By studying him and his cowaorkers I managed to discern some patterns in their behaviour which I used to judge when best to present my advice and otherwise interject.
It payed off, the project starts to work at a more optimistic and functional pace what with the chemists working together with me in a proper manner. Some ideas are tossed around and debated, soon we think we are ready for small scale tests and proof of concepts.

Research Clarifications (Take notes!)
Research DC: Number you must beat in order to progress research this turn
Progress: How far you have come in your research, increases by 1 for every 1 you roll above Research DC on your turn. You actually lose 1 progress for every 5 by which you fail the Research roll.
Milestones: Every 25 progress a new milestone is reached.
Assistants and Facilites: You can get bonuses or penalties to your research rolls depending on your facilites and your assistants.
Working Alone: -1 Sucess die
Untrained Assistants or Poorly Integrated Assistants: Default
Trained Assistants: +1 Sucess die
Improvised Facilities: -2 Sucess die (10% normal cost)
Cheap Facilities: -1 Sucess die (30% normal cost)
Standard Facilities: Default (Normal cost)
Expensive Facilites: +1 Sucess die (3 times normal cost)
Advanced Facilites: +2 Sucess die (10 times normal cost)
Super Facilities: +3 Sucess die (100 times normal cost)

Progress: How far you have come in your research, increases by 1 for every 1 you roll above Research DC on your turn. You actually lose 1 progress for every 5 by which you fail the Research roll.
Milestones: Every 25 progress a new milestone is reached.
- Proof of concept: you have created proof that what you are researching is actually viable.
- First Protoype: You have made a functional though expensive and flawed prototype. Making these costs 10 times normal cost, Craft DC is equal to Research DC.
- Early Models: You have ironed out the flaws in your prototype but the item is still new and costly. Cost is 3 times normal, Craft DC is Research DC -5.
- Finished Product: Your' product is ready for mass production. Normal Cost, Craft DC is Research DC -10.
Assistants and Facilites: You can get bonuses or penalties to your research rolls depending on your facilites and your assistants.
Working Alone: -1 Sucess die

I think I forgot to update the char sheet, but your relationship is supposed to be pretty decent, functional enough that you can get the teams research bonus anyhow.
AANNNND Done.
Main changes is that you have 2 character points to spend. and acahnge inrelations for Arthur Jensen.
Arthur Jensen: You have managed to discern their social patterns well enough for you to get along decently. Trained Chemists provide +1 sucess die to Chemistry research.

It wouldn't be as immediate but getting up genuinely good friendship with the guy could be handy. When people are your friends they will be more likely to go along with things they wouldn't normally go along with, and may reveal intersting sidequests and what not.
Definately a longer temr thing then the immediate correction of your first impression ofc.
