[OPEN] we expected something

Date: various; post-zombie attack
Location: Various
Characters: Charlie Cutter and YOU
Summary: Skullduggery Charlie does his homework.
Warnings: None (as of yet, will edit if applicable)
Notes: Get yer pre-mutiny CR building opportunities here!

[CAFETERIA]
[Gathering supplies - food, medical kit - is all vital, but being well fortified isn't what's going to win them anything in the end. So more and more, Charlie can be found with his nose in his tablet reading and making notes, brow furrowed and mouth pinched into a thin line.

Reading, research, quoting lines back - all that he can do. But figuring out how to order his own words properly, anything to do with writing something respectable of his own? Less his forte. Oh, he's a good liar when he needs to be, but he's not stupid enough to think they'll slide through this with a little fast talk.

So he's hunched over a meager lunch from what's left of the cafeteria's stores in the wake of the zombie invasion, carefully making notations in hard copies of old speeches that he's found in the AI's database.

Christ, it's the sort of thing designed to produce a headache.]


[VR ROOMS]
[Charlie hasn't actually spent much time in the VR rooms, but they've got their advantages. Though he doesn't go so far as to bother with constructing anything complete, but rather spends some time tinkering up partial floor plans. It's something he'd usually prefer to have on paper, but resources are scarce and - if he'd being exceedingly honest - he's never been much of an artist.

He runs the builds late in the evening when someone's more likely to go off to one of the other compartments rather than take too close a look at what he's doing, but that doesn't necessarily mean his work always goes uninterrupted.]



(ooc: any format is a-okay and if neither option appeals to you, feel free to throw up something random and I can just tag in as is appropriate.)

[ Fun fact: Kate once beat up a serial killer of sorts named Cutter. He was a colossal jerk who was going to cut off her cousin's ear. ]

Good to meet you.

[ She takes his hand and shakes firmly. ]

And that's dangerous in more ways than one.

[Billy pokes at his toolbox with a quiet sigh.]

The last time I was in a situation like this, people pulled in from other world to fight a war, we were lost like this at the beginning too. It helped that we could organize enough to negotiate control...but we're so disbanded it seems impossible to get anything done.
oncearanger: (lost in it)

[personal profile] oncearanger 2013-11-13 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well...

[Billy had never actively been involved in the politics and plotting. He was a mere mechanic, a supplier for the tools needed. But he had a vague idea.]

We had crew meetings. They were chaotic, but we eventually convinced most of the crew that our benevolent saviors needed to answer to us. We then charged forth and attempted to seize control of the ship's bridge. That ended in a space pirate battle and death, but we survived it.

Usually we had to throw some people in the brig during conflicts, but we made it.
oncearanger: (worried)

[personal profile] oncearanger 2013-11-13 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
We didn't know exactly what we were acting against, but...yes.

At the time, we thought we were held captive solely by an AI system programmed to treat us as prisoners. It turned out that there were space pirates hiding on the bridge that we'd never received a hint about.

But we did break the prison AI.

That needs to change.

[He drops his head]

And if we tried to enact any form of government...it might be worth pursuing, and I'd be happy to present a case for it, but I can already see the complaints.
oncearanger: (best days ahead)

[personal profile] oncearanger 2013-11-14 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
And how do you propose we get it together?
skennen: ([?] cant .)

[personal profile] skennen 2013-11-14 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
It was. [Or it would have been, if that woman had been Charles Lee.

Ducking his head, Connor walks around the table, keeping an eye on Charlie all the while.]


I mean to go out on a mission to gather supplies soon. If you like, I can bring you back something as recompense?

[His curiosity gets the better of him once he stands opposite to the other man. He leans over the table, trying to get a look at whatever is on the tablet screen - something he wishes he'd thought to do before he relinquished the machine.]

What have you found to keep busy with here?
gevurah: (greatest cousin ever)

[ Her brows then furrow. ]

Beetle took a look outside and found one. Broken, but it's sending a distress signal.

[ Whether or not something's coming for it? She has no idea. ]
skennen: ([?] interest .)

[personal profile] skennen 2013-11-15 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Connor backs right off, hands raised in a placating gesture for a second or two.

Nothing on the screen really stood out to him, but Charlie's strong reaction gives him pause.

Is the stranger still taking offense over the accidental run-by flattening or did he did miss something more significant on the tablet?]


A personal project, I take it?
gevurah: (otherkin cult??)

[personal profile] gevurah 2013-11-16 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Beetle's pointed out if it's disabled and the UE's already intercepted their signal, they'll wonder about it.

[ She's surprised they've gone this long on the moon without being discovered. ]

Moving it is also nonviable; they might have coordinates.

[ It would be suspicious if something broken ended up on the wrong side of the moon. ]
gevurah: (oh wow nope)

[personal profile] gevurah 2013-11-16 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Space isn't her field of expertise. Batman might know better than her, if he was here. ]

I'm not familiar with tech like that. If it's possible to hack it and make it appear it's sending a distress signal from the wrong coordinates...

[ She shakes her head. ]

Beetle and Quill would know more than me.
gevurah: ELLE!!!!!! (elle!!!)

[personal profile] gevurah 2013-11-17 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
Blue Beetle. Superhero from my world.

[ At least she assumes they're from the same world.

And she says this all nonchalantly. This is completely normal for her, after all. ]
