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.]

[Sora looks around at the tools Robin had spread out once he arrives. He then looks back at him expectantly. How can he help?]

[gettraught]

[First there will be extensive communications time. Ready for a movie, Sora?]

[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?

[optimistickey]

[Sora watches the video carefully, and shakes his head no...he doesn't have any questions. He points to some of the ropes, indicating that he's willing to help with the tying down its limbs.]

[gettraught]

[Works for him. Rob nods and picks up another rope, turning to show the end very obviously to Sora, then slowly ties it in a loop with the knot being one that can slide up and down along the rope and has an easy release - it's actually very similar to a nautical knot, so Sora might know it or something similar already.]

[He then holds up a hand and four fingers, gesturing down to the mini-noose he just tied. Can Sora make four more of these?]

[optimistickey]

[Sora examines the rope and tests it out himself a few times. Knots is actually one of those rare things Sora does know a little something about...comes from living on an island and having a fisherman for a father. Sora nods...yes, he can make more of these.]

[gettraught]

[Robin nods again and points over to where the hacksaws were and then up to the ceiling. He's going to start go causing property damage.]

[optimistickey]

[In the meanwhile, Sora gets to work on the ropes and starts tying up some more knots.]
