Uncharted nebulae can also mean we can make up even more crazy stuff for events. Whereas the Mantis sector is probably full of boarding parties and shouts of "Foolish meatsacks!"
"Don't Slugs also hang out in nebulae?" Lux asked.
Eden nodded "They rely on their telepathic abilities more than anything else. They also go down very easily once caught."
TheLonelyAI wrote:"WOL..." Whispered the engi softly. That was his name WOL? It sounded strange when saying it, but it felt relatively familiar. He responded to the human, "Jake's" question.Eyesight Technology wrote:"WOL is your name," Jake said, worried about his long-time friend. "It's how people address you. If I want to talk about you, I'd refer to you by your name. My name is Jake."TheLonelyAI wrote:RESTORATION AT 15%
===============================================
"Yes. I. Understand" Said the engi. His voice came out strangely, tones rising and falling, as if he had no idea how to control it. The engi paused before he resumed speaking, searching for an appropriate tone of voice.
"I. Have. Something. To. Ask. Of. You. WOL. Why. Do. You. Call. Me. By. That. Name?" He said slowly, but steadily.
Jake turned to Sarah. "Is there any Backups Engis have? Do they locally copy files? Is there some kind of 'Cloud Backup' that we can restore his memories from? Does he have any backup memory cards?"
"I have know Idea," Sarah said, her eyes widening. "I'm sorry. But maybe you could ask him. The data on that disk includes files all Engis are born with. This includes basic data on Engi structure and mechanics. He might already know if there is a way to restore his software."
Jake turned back to WOL. "Do you know if standard Engis keep backups of their data somewhere? Can you somehow restore your files? Is there some kind of Cloud Backup we can use?" He asked, speaking slowly.
On a previous RP I made, my character was an Engi named 'Error'. The Rebels had screwed with his programming, to the point of permanently damaging him. The RP failed, but this reminded me of Error. The reason his name was 'Error' was because the memory file containing his name was corrupted, and he was thus called Error.
EDIT
Our current positional status:
New Ship is at Safe Beacon, 1 jump away from Exit and Distress Beacons
Robin + Pelican are at Distress Beacon, 1 jump away from Exit Beacon (So it's a 1-jump-detour)
The Exit Beacon leads to Sector 3, a Nebula (JUST TO CLARIFY: None of us have made it to the Exit Beacon yet, and thus none of us are in the Nebula sector.)
Just to clear things up! Have fun!
"According to what I currently know, we, the engi, as a species do not have a collective of which to store memories. Supposedly, there should be a program automatically present that should restore corrupt memories in the event of data loss. However, considering the amount of damage I've sustained previously, the data is far too corrupted to be restored." He concluded.
"But there may be another option" added the engi. "The data may be corrupted, yes, but it is still present within me. Perhaps by the use of an outside force, I can restore the memories that were lost."

As they did often, it seemed. Her thoughts returned to the ever-present past: the days before the academy. The days when she used to sit and listen to the stories of the superior human captains of "the good old days."
"Yes, those were the days I grew up in. Not all these other things running around space." Her dad leaned back in the plush recliner. "Yeah, things were better then. Wasn't it, Ari?"
"Oh yes, they were better then." Kyrie's mom would always seem to agree whenever her dad told these stories. And they all seemed to have a human as the leader, the main character. The other races were always inferiors. I never even noticed until the academy. Kyrie remembered the day she was leaving for earth, to go to the Federation Academy for the first time. That was two years ago. She remembered what her dad had told her before she left.
"Remember what I taught you, now. Remember we're the boss there, just like here. You got to show them what a real species looks like. You hear me?" Kyrie had nodded and smiled. This event had replayed in her head night after night, especially now, though. She had dreamed more than once that her dad had stormed in to a class right when she was laughing with an engi or zoltan. He had always stood there in the dream, fuming. He had always said: "I don't know who you are, but you're not an Alfarow." She often imagined that's what he would say now.
"I'll run distraction, you teleport your friends onto that cruiser, we take it out, we can get all these civilians out of here" he said, "And if I don't make it, at least I died trying to help others" he saidstylesrj wrote:"Attention, this is a Rebel checkpoint. In order to use the exit beacon, you must take a holding pattern at these co-ordinates and open your cargo bays for inspection."
A large Rebel Cruiser and several Riggers were protecting the exit beacon for the sector.
"Must have been recent, probably just arrived after that black hole was deployed in order to catch any survivors" Eden remarked.
A ship that was undergoing inspection suddenly peeled out from the line and tried to make a run for the beacon. The cruiser opened fire on it and the ship exploded rather violently. Whatever it had been carrying was very explosive.
"Any ideas Bren?" Lux asked "Because that cruiser looks rather scary and I don't see Jake's ship anywhere... maybe he's hiding behind one of those distant moons over there while he waited for us?"
Just saying... it'd be kinda silly if we had jumped to a space station, destroyed two pirate crews and took all their stuff in the time it took for WOL to reboot and have a conversation.
"I'm surprised you even have the brains cells to use one" was Bren's retort as he fired all his shots at once at their shields, aiming to permently take them downstylesrj wrote:"We'd have to make this quick and only we're sure everyone is here" Lux said "We can't just run in and..."
Almost as if Bren had shouted his name before charging at the monster, Lux sighed.
Eden remarked "Personally, I would have slipped a bit of money their way. You'd be surprised at how corrupt checkpoint guards are"
The Rebel Cruiser didn't even turn in response to the approaching ship. Their Captain appeared on screen - a bald man with a monocular and a moustache. He even had a cup of tea in one hand. Seeing the old Robin heading towards him at high speed, the man gently slammed his cup down on a plate and said "My word! Just who do you think you are?"
Before any answer could be given he added "Sod that! I don't care who you are, but no one defies the Rebel fleet!"
One of the Riggers moved in to intercept the Robin; their Captain taunted "Die you piece of glowing crap! I wouldn't even trust your kind with powering the loo!"
