Having something with persistent and live communication would be handy if 'live REKT' is something we end up doing regularly (which is likely if you want to flesh out the rules properly). Prefer having it on DWMagus' server instead of a separate one for the same reason as you, and REKT and DnD are s...

"Huh.
...any of em m-movin?"

"So, to t-the computer room it is." After finishing Lucas' thingy, I order him to follow us and alert us of possible danger. Then I start heading towards the computer room with the rest, moving slowly, peering around corners first, trying to be quiet etc. I hold Spoon at the ready to use as cover sh...

"I don-" nevermind, ignore the alien abomination "...v-video feed d-doesn't sound bad. I reckon t-that'd be in t-the computer rooms, t-that's just a f-few corridors in t-that direction. We're alm-most right on t-top of them. Maybe we c-can also recall our C-CASKETS from there." "Now, and b-before we...

I close the blast door behind us and turn my head light on.
It seems...oddly empty...
"So... where t-to? The m-message supposedly c-came from the SCAMPS c-cores, and that's nearbye, s-so maybe there?"

Could use more work, but better than the sketch she's had for the last...yearsssss. For now.

"Oh. Um. Right. T-Tools. Well, supposedly ye c-can use an electro amp t-to arc weld, so maybe if you t-tell me exactly what I should do..." I help Vynkor with the repair if I can (e.g. using the electro amp to arc weld, following her instructions). If they fail, I ask someone to help me carry Lucas ...

A thought strikes me.
"Oh, now, em, maybe V-vynkor could f-fix the spiderbot before we l-leg it? Extra f-firep-power could come in hand-dy."

"Not walking into an amb-bush seems even b-better. So...lead t-the way."
"Everyone: PDA off!"
I follow brom and the other towards the tunnel to the Nemesis or whatever it is

I frown in confusion.
"Didn't we just agree t-to not go to the h-hangar, have the autop-pilot fly our ships back an' instead g-go through the tunnel ye found t-to the Nemesis directly?"

"Also... I think it'd be b-best if we ALL t-turn off our PDA once w-we start moving, Might be b-being tracked."

"Em. Great...
So either t-that message is right, an' the N-nemesis is in serious trouble... or the mole g-got into SCAMPS. Either way is b-bad news...
also d-doesn't say who be attacking and who's w-watchin', and...how d-does everyone on a ship v-vanish?"

"The f-focus of the st-statement was on "not going t-to the hangar". If we c-can go back another way, all t-the better."

I follow the others. After a minute or two, I remark "Actually... maybe we'd b-better not go to the hangar. Since the v-veteran REKT lads g-got in a fight t-there, fellas in the st-station likely know those are our ships, and t-there may be an FMU ambush. So maybe we'd do b-better taking a cab or s...

"Sure, l-let's take the sh-shortest route to the h-hangar."

Without much hope, I check if my comm system has any info on where the transmission comes from.
