Kei says mostly to herself then she says to Dr Cole "Is there a way to get at this from below and turn off the artificial gravity altogether?"

"Let's see..." Nathan studies the schematics.
OOC: Is there?

"I'm decent with computers and might last longer than average but I'm not sure how much work I could do under that amount of force" Kei looks Mufasta'r up and down "You look like you might be better equipped to move but how are you with computers?

OOC: can the ambulance bot carry someone and come back under the conditions or would we have to use it to secure whoever goes there?

The ambulance bot's schematics come up on screen, it can seat up to four people internally and inertial absorbers can counteract the gravity to some degree.

The datapad shows that Roland could be approached from beneath, though one would pass very close to Neutronium research to do so.

The artificial gravity generator sitting is also close to Neutronium research, but it has the ability to dampen even extreme gravity locally. Within five meters of it gravity would be normal.

It could be overloaded to create a pull that counters that of the Neutronium sample.

"I follow instructions well... though most likely am not as good with a computer as you might be...".

Nathan shows the schematics to Kei and orders the ambulance bot to come to them.

The ambulance bot arrives within a few minutes. Up close it is quite frightening, looking like some sort of bizarre insectoid war droid.

"Greetings Dr. Cole, may I be of assistance"

"Hmm, it won't last long but it should be long enough. If we both go I can tweak the gravity dampers as we get closer and use a few old Navy to to, as the old saying goes, turn it all the way up and break the dial off while you do your thing. Oh, and you'll feel like your eyes are about to pop out of your head, try to ignore that."

Fourier

OOC: In case it is unclear, I'm assuming there is still a small conversation to be had over exactly who gets into the bot, based on nobody saying e.g. 'Yes, I agree let's go' or similar, if I'm wrong just let me know

"Sounds like a plan. You two have the best chance of getting this done, so I'll stay here and try to see what I can do to make sure we don't get any nasty surprises."

Nathan transfers the bot's command codes to Kei and Mufasta'r. He then starts to set up the scanners in the surrounding area to give him proximity readings. "Let's see how many of those bastards are left and what they're up to. The gravitation surely isn't only a problem for us."

OOC: Kei was talking to Dr. Cole in my previous post.

OOC: Oh, I interpreted the "we both" as Kei and Musfata'r, and so did Dr. Cole I'd guess

Evade

"OK, Doc" Kei said slightly puzzled. "You up to it Musfata'r?"


OOC: I wont be around tonight as usual.

Fourier

OOC: I'll give Nebelwefer one more day, then I'll assume control and have him hop in.

Lena flexes an impressive bicep and nods emphatically. It's not clear at what.

Mufasta'r nods and jumps into the ambulance bot. The bot has ceded driving controls to Kei.

Kei gets a feel for the controls and heads towards their target after a minute or two constantly adjusting the gravity dampers as they go to maximise their effect against the neutronium's pull.


"Mufasta'r, let me know if your tongue starts to feel itchy, that's the first sign of severe..." Kei lets that hang as she looks intently at the readouts trying to keep a straight face.
