Stuff from those vending machines must be bought, right?

What happens with people that have no concept of "money"?

Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Please note that Vaakine got banned, so Jan should be phased out of the plot.

Meanwhile, Dream was staring at the barren desolation that were their quarters with a sparkling smile and watery eyes (or, rather, eye)

"It's... it's just like back home! Well, minus the fungi and lichens. But still, nostalgia trip!"

It was the best thing ever. For her, at least. She took a few steps around. "Wah, this is really just like back on the Brilliant Unwritten Future Amidst The Neverending Heavens, my old Mothership! Well, it's a bit larger, but still, I like it! Now, if only the whole station was like this instead of having obvious wastes of precious resources like that last room, it would be a marvel of efficiency that'd make the Great Maker proud!"

Or SHE PULLS THE VENDING MACHINES APART UNTIL THEY GIVE HER WHAT SHE NEEDS.

Communistic society with no concept of private propriety = serious lulz.

Well, she used to sleep in a 70 cm x 50 cm x 2 meters metal cubicle for about 10 hours a week, so this is like staying at a top-class hotel for her.
And she can't understand why people would want to waste stuff to make a whole room made out of nanomachines which serve no practical purpose at all :D
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Why am I not surprised that it's only the space-born that arn't bitching about this yet?

Also, do the standard engineering and maintenance staff get the same type of bunks, or is this another 'let's make the marines mutiny' thing?
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Actual engineering and maintenance staff get something between the science crew and the CSS. They have more importance to the station, thus get more privies. :D
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Well, thanks to a third party, Jan has been removed from the Plot in a wholly OOC manner, but it's been justified that since Vaakine's been banned, removal at all costs was merited. ~.~ Just so people are up to speed why Wes posted in the IC.
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

It occurs to me. Isn't Cirrus Station obligated to feed the government troops on board? At the least, the military should still be feeding the grunts. Or at least giving us a food allowance on top of our pay.

Lorcan isn't space born but I haven't posted my 4 & 1/2 page post [on notebook paper anyway] yet soo... XD

Anyone want to start a pool on how long it takes for the marines to mutiny?
Click to expand...

lolz, I'm sure they'll revolt and kill Montreal first, not mutiny her... just out right murder her.

Poor little station, home to so many disgruntled marines

Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Dude what's with this? I watch the thread intently for three or fours days and there's minimal posting and then I look away for one night and there's two pages of new posts? :D

I swear, some divine being hates me.

That's pretty much it; instead of paying for the food and feeding marines directly, the military is having the general food costs for each soldier added on top of their new security team paychecks.

And while all this talk of mutiny is all well and good...let us not forget that the CSS squads aren't the only people on the station. There are plenty of other personnel that Cassefin most likely treats right dandy...as we shall see very soon, I suppose. :mrgreen:
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Yeah, but there's at least two thousand trained soldiers. Under most conditions, they there should be more then enough to control the civilians. Sure you'd need to talk most of the marine contingent around, but if what's going on with our squad is any indication, it shouldn't be too hard.
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Tweak's behavior may seem like a personality flip, but even shy people can be pushed too far. And, unlike a harassment situation like what happened with Rico (she does have similar reactions to similar situations even if she has no memory of them), Tweak knows that can't really run away from this problem. Since it's just her and two computer constructs, she is able to let her frustration and confusion out in a way that her shyness prevented her from doing in the briefing.
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Nothing. She STILL doesn't have any concept of money and property. You just upgraded her from "drink" to "use this card on that machine, punch the third button from the top, and drink" :D

And really, that's all anybody needs to know.
 
Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread

Unfortunately, since they taught her to "punch" the third button from the top, there's a possibility that punching that button is going to be what she does from then on.

How well-built are these machines?
