Fourth Hack

[gettraught]

[Cambot turns on to Robin on the theatrical deck, looking serious even for him. When he's sure the Cambot is recording, he starts... making elaborate gestures? His hands are flying everywhere and his fingers are twisting into weird shapes and making gestures around his face and shoulder area- Oh wait he's signing. Apparently Cambot's supposed to be translating this because when Rob realizes that there's no subtitles going on, he gives Cambot a deadpan look (even through the shades) and points downward, moving his hand back and forth while spelling "s-u-b-t-i-t-l-e-s" out in signs with his other hand. Cambot gets the hint and flashes a word on the screen.]

Sorry

[Rob nods and goes back to signing, speaking as well but obviously there's no sound coming out. It's for an aid to lip-reading (and kind of his own sanity).]

We have to do something about that dinosaur before it attacks anyone else or destroys the ship. I have some ideas about how to stop it. Anyone who wants to talk come to this deck A-S-A-P. It's small enough to get off the Nature Deck so we need to make plans before it decides to try it out.

[And he'll be waiting when whoever wants to gets there.]

[Xion waves back and comes over to see what he's working on. It looks like a trap, and while normally she doesn't like those, she'll make an exception in this case.

She does her best to use gestures to ask if she can help.]

[Robin nods but points at the cambot first. It bobs a little in acknowledgement and turns to Xion.]

[Cambot starts to display a little video clip that Robin put together and uploaded into him - a basic crash course on what the plan in and the various steps, using little basic polygonal models for better visual aid. It'll take a couple of minutes to run all the way through.]

First we need to destabilize the theatre rigging here. Saw through the pipes and braces holding the curtains up and put some people who aren't afraid of heights up there to kick it down when the raptor gets here. There will also be people positioned around the edge of the room on high perches with the ends of a makeshift net with small sandbags attached at specific points. Ropes will be stretched across the point the dinosaur won't be allowed to cross with enough space for a human to get between them but not a six-meter long reptile.

Once everything is prepped, I'll go down to the Nature Deck and get the dinosaur to chase me up here through the Media Deck. I'll dive through the ropes and that will be the signal to drop the net and the curtains, tangling him up and weighing him down enough to pin him. Then we use more ropes to tie down its limbs and tail and muzzle its head and figure out what to do with it.

Any questions?

[Xion shakes her head in response to the question. His explanation had actually been clearer than the outlines of objectives for some missions.

She thinks for a moment, then gestures between herself and the places where he'd said people would need to be positioned high up. She's not afraid of heights, so maybe she could help there.]

[He glances where she's pointing, and then nods. He's not going to try to assign jobs for this, especially not when he can't speak, but it's nice to know that people around this place will take the initiative on their own. He points over there himself and then folds his fingers together, making a step with his hand and pushing upwards like he's boosting someone up. Does she need a hand getting up there?]

[Xion takes another look at how high everything is. If she could use high jump, she'd be able to make it, but she can't. With nothing else around to try to use as steps...She nods. A hand getting up would be much appreciated.]
