Ravana Quest [Exalted/Aberrant]

Reader mode
[X] You still have Cyborg's flight computer. Figure out who sent her that message, or where they sent it from. It's your most reliable lead right now. (This is a Difficulty 3 roll.)
->[X] Harmeet can do it! (Harmeet does it, obviously.)
→[X] Stick with Harmeet while she works.

[X] You need to get Abhas to a proper doctor, one you can trust. Fortunately, you know an Asura who's willing. Kind of. You'll owe her, though.
->[X] Do the healy thing. You're not sure how you did it, but it'd save time you may not have. (Uses 2 motes. Can only be done once. You can pick another action.)

2 motes just isn't that much. I'd go for getting parts, but it might be best to wait the risky stuff until Abhas is a bit more healed. (also a reason not to just haul off and rob someone). Calling Yashar is tempting (so tempting) but you'd feel like a bit of an ass assigning Harmeet to do a bunch of work while you just vent.

edit: Joining in on the Harmeet action. She could conceivably use the help, and getting some quality time with the kid would be cool.

[X] A few of the other wrecked ships lying around the area haven't quite been scavenged clean. Admittedly the ones that haven't are mostly because there's some sort of deadly hazard around them, but fuck it, you have time bullshit on your side. Go see if you can rustle up some parts for repairs.

How long will it take Abhas to recover if we don't do this? trying to gauge efficiency here.

The better part of two weeks relying on Exalted Healing Capacity, the better part of four days at a doctor. He can, theoretically, fight during this time but it'll slow down healing and he'd obviously be at risk.

Um. Can anyone remind me what means Chandra has to recover motes?

All I remember is that he can't stunt them back. Does he get mote recovery over time, or what?

2 regenerated per hour of rest. It's eight AM, so five-ish hours since you got back. Gimme a moment and I'll get the Status thing back up.

Edit: Aaaand updated status:

Status: 1 mote net loss. WP Neutral. One Compassion Channel, One I Hate Time Bullshit Channel, One I Laugh in the Face of Danger Channel used. 21 exp this arc. Anima is not flaring.

This will serve as both a badly needed healing for Abhas, a way of gently underlining he A) kind of owes us a lifetime supply of huge favors for saving his and his Family's arses last night and B) we're showing him secrets about what we can do and that we are most definitely on the same fucking team now, buddy, and act as a segue into...

[X] Tell Abhas everything about the weird time bullshit and figure out what's going on there. Also doubles as hardcore planning session. (.8x)

We tell him WTF has been going on with us, what we've learned about the conspiracy targeting Ravana, Abhas and Family, and us, and both what we do and do not know about our powers. We're not a person to trust or reveal secrets easily, Abhas, so this should emphasize just how fucking serious we are being here.

Harmeet has had a hard fricking week, and her life has been turned upside-down in many bad ways. She needs something to do, something that engages her skills and lets her feel less powerless and swept along by forces she can't control or affect, and we should stick around while she does it so she doesn't feel like an appliance. She might need to hear some of what we and Abhas are talking about, too. She's a part of this gang and probably going to be targeted by the enemy whether she knows anythign or not, so she's better off armed with what knowledge we can give her.

Uh, do we have the actions for that? Timehax Healing is a free action, but working on the computer is only free if you leave Harmeet to her own devices.
 
I think so. We're talking with Abhas while she does that. That's our 'other action'. We're still there, she's working near us. The healing is free, and having Harmeet do the computer allows us to take the planning session as our action.

[x] Call Yashar. It's been a shitty week, and you could use a chance to vent or some shit, even if she's on a job you can leave a video message. Maybe see if she left you a reply after you sent her the thing about Harmeet's adoption. Also, the transmission room's sealed, so you can smoke in there. (1.1x)

Staying with Harmeet's an action in and of itself (So you use the planning action for now, you can still do it later+whatever information you got from the flight computer), however 'stick with Harmeet' is not a trap option.
 
It is true that we haven't been spending enough time with Harmeet, and it's entirely possible that Cybitch's computer has some kind of security that will draw goons toward it when hacked.

I do not want to leave the traumatized teenager alone if I can help it. And healing is huge, and we're very pressed for time.
 
Probably wiser

Harmeet pops a mastick in her mouth and chews on it thoughtfully. It's a cheap fruit flavor of course - the older racers (Chandra, Ravana, a few others) always made sure to warn her off the narcotic mixes that were available in some brands, and to be honest, she's never really felt the urge to buzz herself with drugs. But she aspires to be a pilot, and pilots about image. Chadra has his shades, various other pilots light up or chew or sniff various nasty substances. It's about having the mannerism to punctuate your actions. So Harmeet, not wanting to be left out in that regard, started popping masticks a year ago, and now it's a nervous habit.

Blinking at what her diagnostics are telling her, she considers for another second, and then gets to work, her fingers leaping over the keys as she enters a series commands calling up prepared macros as well as activating a brute force cracker - but that's just a distraction, the last command she hits only after her little electric hounds are already in play.. As expected, the protections on the model start activating failsafes that will wipe it, but Harmeet's data daemons are tracking the failsafes, snipping out their codes and permissions and using them to open up the system to her even as the now neutered failsafes crash into their own internal firewall. Not easy, but not overly complex, either. Military encryption is strong, but unsubtle.

EDIT: yeah, not that good, but I'm not a techie type, so my writing on computers is uninspired.
