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.]

[When Link finds Robin, he just gives a quizzical look, the only way to really ask how he can help.]

Don't worry about it :)

[This not-speaking thing is really stupid. Fortunately, he jury-rigged a way around it.]

[Cambot starts to display a little video clip that Robin put together and uploaded into him - a basic crash course on what the plan is 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?

[Link's not so sure catching the dinosaur is the best idea, though as far as he knows, only three people or four people have had the sense to keep live weapons with them off the weapons deck. So it is possible that killing the animal isn't an option. At least not an easy one.

He doesn't have any questions about the plan and he indicates that he'll help with securing the dinosaur after the net and curtains are dropped on it. If anything, at least that puts him in a position to do something if they can't secure it. He will have his sword with him, after all.]
