Kalos' Games #spacecopsic2 9/30/2017

DiscoDude: **---BEGIN SESSION---**
DiscoDude: **Session logging commenced**
Keith: Cyril
Cyril: Keith
Keith: try looking at the mini golf
Keith: when he disappeared
Keith: like, a week ago, because that's the last he've seen
Cyril: Oh, okay
Kalos: there is in fact footage of a couple of maids that look like cyril and keith trying to get into Varosi's room
Cyril: lmao
Kalos: they fooled the camera, it seems
Kalos: because the camera AI didn't flag it
Cyril: Excellent
Cyril: What was the last entry before us?
Cyril: Or should we look at the golf course
Kalos: the last entries are other people who pass by the rooms
Kalos: there's lots of people who live in the adjacent rooms
Cyril: No way to check the last person who actually goes in the door? :B
Kalos: the last person who actually goes in the door is Varosi himself
Kalos: 8 days ago.
Cyril: [spooky music]
Kalos: it shows him walking down the hallway with some human girl, and they remain there for the night.
Keith: Did he come out?
Kalos: camera fast forwards paranormal activity style
Kalos: shows them both leaving some time in the morning the day after.
Cyril: ⏩
Kalos: and going down opposite directions in the hallway.
Cyril: Can we track the person across different cameras?
Cyril: The person whose name I keep forgetting
Cyril: Varosi
Kalos: Mhm!
Kalos: the cameras switch off intelligently, giving you the best view of him as he heads over to a VIP area breakfast dining hall
Kalos: where he proceeds to eat sausages, muffins, toast, eggs, etc;
Kalos: A couple people come and sit with him- an Avali and some weird shark-like alien.
Cyril: I bet those are the dna guys
Kalos: They chat and have dinner for a while. There is Audio normally, but its far too busy for this camera to pick up their conversation specifically.
Kalos: even with AI sifting through the voice channels.
Cyril: Can I do some skynet bullshit and listen to the vibrations in a glass of water
Kalos: roll to enhance
Cyril: Computer operations?
Keith: don't delete
Kalos: actually electronics operation: security or sensors
Cyril: !groll 13
DiscoDude: <@Cyril> rolled 10 (degree 3; success)
Kalos: the camera zooms on on some tissue paper and runs some `E N H A N C E` on it
Kalos: moments later, a audio file with all of the audio channel bars and stuff shows up on screen
Kalos: They start talking about what they're going to be doing that night- at the current snapshot, the shark-person says "-d what do you think about the amenities here?"
Kalos: Varosi: "THey're pretty good- the virtual golf leaves a little to be desired I think."
Kalos: Avali: "You sure that's just not your stuff acting up again?"
Kalos: V: "Pff- Course. I'm flawless, god in human form!"
Kalos: S: "So you're saying you'll get past the final hole in the minigolf course?"
Kalos: V:"Is that a challenge?"
Kalos: S: "Duh."
Kalos: V:"I'll do it, tonight." *munches on sausages* the caption reads.
Kalos: A: "What're you gonna do until then? got another girl lined up for tonight?"
Kalos: V: *continues to munch on sausages, loudly*
Kalos: S:" what do you think?"
Cyril: [Later that night, someone else entirely was munching on sausages]
Kalos: A: "Figured. We'll catch you another time then- I'm heading out for today, I'll be back in a couple- have to catch a package."
Kalos: S:"We'll?"
Kalos: V: "Better be important, you'll miss my triumphant victory over the golf ball void."
Kalos: A: *chuckles*
Kalos: S: "I'll be there. Wouldn't miss it for the world Va-Va." *drinks something*
Kalos: V: "Good- I'm done too." *gets up, voice tracking on Varosi lost*
Kalos: A: *continues to eat*
Kalos: S: *also starts to eat, not speaking out loud with A*
Keith: Oh, yeah, people can use implants, hmm
Cyril: ok now im gonna zoom the camera in on a fork to pick up radio signals like an antenna
Kalos: roll again
Cyril: !groll 13
DiscoDude: <@Cyril> rolled 12 (degree 1; success)
Kalos: it doesn't work
Cyril: `cd ~/golf`
Kalos: ⏩
Kalos: Later that day, at the space minigolf course
Kalos: Vaorsi Arrives with an entourage of a dozen other people, the Shark from earlier among them
Kalos: including the doglien from before, that Miri talked to.
Cyril: (Who's the doglien, I wasn't in that plot)
Kalos: (you don't know them them- you likely weren't told)
Kalos: everyone gets a club and a bunch of golf balls
Kalos: and they set to completing the courses
Kalos: they all seem very drunk with a few exceptions,
Kalos: Varosi looked drunk on the way, but suddenly got composure on walking up to the starting hole
Kalos: They begin to set to golfing. Most of them do very poorly.
Kalos: Varosi gets pretty far initially, but as 10 minutes pass the drunkeness seems to return to them
Kalos: The worker that fucked Keith is also there. worth mentioning. He gives encouragement to some people, including Varosi as he starts to struggle near the very last few holes in the course,
Kalos: Upon reaching the spiraling omegavoid of golfball devastation, Varosi ends up spending half an hour there
Kalos: During which time a good number of entourage have left, having gotten bored or feeling sick from what they've drunk
Cyril: God in human form, eh
Kalos: THe Shark pat Varosi on the back, and left too 25 minutes into this
Kalos: 40 balls later, Varosi gives up, and storms off. only a few remain, including Miri's Doglien contact- who noted his departure alone
Kalos: Varosi leaves, defeated, out the door
Keith: (Keep an eye on doggo for a bit, then try to track Varosi)
Kalos: THe dog plays for a few minutes longer, before he's bored, and leaves.
Kalos: he heads off to one of the sections with rooms, and can be followed until he enters his own
Cyril: Oh no
Keith: (Alright, now, can we follow Varosi?)
Kalos: Varosi meanwhile, wanders off
Kalos: THe cameras follow him through some of the various hallways-
Kalos: after about two minutes of this, he ends up in a somewhat empty residential hallway and...
Kalos: camera feed suddenly shows a view of the room where he's not there
Kalos: and the time stamp is a few hundred seconds later.
Cyril: Can we see who edited it or anything like that?
Cyril: Assuming it was actually edited
Amoni Steeltower: "Look though another camera"
Cyril: Well yeah if there's other cameras
Keith: And comparing the difference
Cyril: Maybe we could watch the surrounding area to see who enters the Exclusion Zone
Amoni Steeltower: ^
Amoni Steeltower: ^^
Amoni Steeltower: ^^^
Kalos: This camera, and another one in the same hallway both feature the same edit/cut
Amoni Steeltower: Further out?
Kalos: another hallway a bit fruther, but also empty,  still runs uninterrupted.
Kalos: There's a strange buzzing sound, and not much else. there's little audio from that far away.
Kalos: it can perhaps be `E N H A N C E D`
Cyril: _slams ENHANCE button_
Cyril: Sensor operation? :B
Kalos: mhm!
Cyril: Okay if this fails Im lucking it
Cyril: !groll 13
DiscoDude: <@Cyril> rolled 10 (degree 3; success)
Cyril: Aha
Keith: (Wait)
Keith: (You need to succeed good)
Keith: (This is gurps)
Cyril: !groll 13
DiscoDude: <@Cyril> rolled 11 (degree 2; success)
Cyril: !groll 13
DiscoDude: <@Cyril> rolled 13 (degree 0; success)
Kalos: The buzzing sound is enhanced somewhat, passed through a dozen filters-
Kalos: It sounds oddly familiar, especially to Cyril and Keith,
Cyril: !groll 14
DiscoDude: <@Cyril> rolled 7 (degree 7; success)
Kalos: ROll IQ
Keith: !groll 13
DiscoDude: <@Keith> rolled 12 (degree 1; success)
Keith: _Keith dials Runi, with his hyperspace comm_
Kalos: She picks up- "What's up kiddo?"
Keith: "Hey mom, the guy you hired helped lots. But I might have bad news"
Kalos: "Okay. Spill it."
Keith: "So, we tracked our guy, and... There's missing time in the cameras. It seems he was kinda... Stunned. Then, dragged off. The hospital has 7 hours of missing footage. Nothing is sure, but you know what that likely means."
Cyril: "We're on the trail, it's not that bad."
Kalos: "Oh. good, I was worried you were about to say one of you almost got killed again."
Kalos: "Glad to hear your voice, though, Cyril."
Keith: "Well, I am glad you care about us, thanks."
Cyril: "ₜₕₐₙₖₛ."
Kalos: "This sounds a bit like I suspected it."
Keith: "Alright, we got games for Miri, Amoni is working with Lawyers still. And we are mostly using the leverage we got."
Kalos: "Don't reveal yourselves to the crew at large, if they have edit permission it can be them."
Keith: "It is likely them. And here's the proof."
Keith: "Missing time in the armory as well."
Keith: "Besides, you'd expect someone who's hiding from the crew to fill in the missing time... It seems they are trying to fool the AI."
Kalos: "ALright. what're you gonna do now? as a side note, I could manufacture a way to get Miri off the ship, by demanding her for external crimes."
Cyril: "We're gonna keep digging until we find something. Victor's getting a job with security, so we can see what's up on the inside."
Kalos: "might take a couple days to get done."
Keith: "I am getting a job too. Either security or cleaning crew."
Keith: "Side note, Miri is probably gonna be fine. But we will consider it if her veredict is guilty."
Kalos: "If she's guilty they'll just keep her for longer."
Kalos: "They're not gonna dismantle her, this isn't the 2200's."
Keith: "Well, I mean, if she's extracted for external crimes, I don't think we can get her back quickly. Unless she swaps bodies."
Cyril: _looks like he has a terrible idea_
Kalos: "Yea another body is a bit much. I think another diguise will do, Or maybe just have her work and advise externally."
Kalos: "It'l munch through the pad data, but that's disposable."
Keith: "There is quite a lack of evidence of anything intentional by her part, honestly, so, we might have a chance to get her scotch-free, or get her out on a deal."
Kalos: "DIdn't you say she punched someone into the ground?"
Cyril: _mumbles, "I really shoulda watched that footage"_
Amoni Steeltower: "I'm currently looking for any lawyers worth half there chutzpah (hutspa)"
Keith: "The cameras are not of much help, and it seems that it was her head that made contact."
Amoni Steeltower: "However, I'm doubtful they'll be able to help with this evidence"
Kalos: "alright. Contact me if you want me to move forward with plan extradite Miri on fake crimes."
Kalos: "anything else?"
Cyril: "There's more evidence Varosi is involved with making weapons, even becoming one. We found footage with a lot of him ranting about being a god in human form."
Kalos: "Welp."
Kalos: "OKay, gotta put a team on that then."
Kalos: "meanwhile, you still got a mission."
Keith: "By the way, the only reason we think that there's a sliver of chance of him being alive... maybe a brain-in-a-jar... Is because of his political position. But, that's still far-fetched."
Cyril: "Yeah. It seems like there's nasty black-market secondhand-mod-selling going on."
Kalos: "Bonus points if you find him."
Keith: "Hah, fat chance, but we'll try. If finding a part of him... Y'know, does it counts?"
Kalos: "that's just a pile of several hundred thousand ⍟⍟⍟ of implants and genetic data, nothing important kiddo."
Amoni Steeltower: "Well, I *think* that about sums it up."
Amoni Steeltower: "Are we missing anything?"
Keith: "Don't think so."
Keith: _Keith says, after a long pause_
Cyril: "I think that's everything. Better get back to the investigating."
Amoni Steeltower: "And finding lawyers..."
Amoni Steeltower: "uuuuhg"
Amoni Steeltower: "We'll contact you with any new information."
Kalos: "later, going off to bed. Feel free to wake me, though."
Kalos: line ends
Cyril: "Goodn- Oh."
Kalos: doglien camera lock
Kalos: After the meeting with Miri, they simply continued to drink for a while longer, before meeting with some friends and going to a party-
Kalos: over the span of half an hour of watching, nothing much really happen- they just have some chatter with someone about leaving the ship when it lands on the nearby planet in a couple days [tomorrow, now]
Kalos: how long will Keith continue to track?
Keith: Let's keep it on until he goes to his room
Keith: After we track him there, it would be nice to know where he is *now*
Kalos: fast forward, I imagine?
Keith: *Keith uses the 15-sec skips technique, he might **stumble** upon something*
Kalos: you keep skipping for a while,
Kalos: Nothing too out of the ordinary happens
Kalos: he sleeps at the party place that night
Kalos: 6 hours of skipping later he's back awake
Kalos: and heads off to his own room, where he sits on his computer for a while talking up people who seem like relatives
Kalos: got up, got lunch, went to go swim for a while
Kalos: and then got out of the pool, back to his room, before now finally eating dinner -right now-
Keith: "Hm, he's eating dinner, not really something I could, or should intrude on."
Kalos: not in his room- at a restoraunt somewhere on the ship
Keith: "Actually..."
Cyril: "Gonna go interrogate?"
Keith: _Keith messages the others: "I will be eating at [this] restaurant, trying to see if I get any response from one of our suspects. I won't approach them on my own, you might want to monitor the cameras while I am there, to see who reacts to me and etc."_
Amoni Steeltower: "Interrorgate with his dick"
(thru radio)
Keith: "My pussy, you mean."
Keith: "Anyways, if anyone want to watch, that would be nice, because if I am to be abducted, someone might be able to save me. Otherwise, I will check the footage myself later."
Amoni Steeltower: *Is currently busy talking to Lawyer*
Kalos: keith heads out-
Amoni Steeltower: ( <@!Cyril> ?)
Kalos: What are others doing?
Keith: Adem could watch the cameras
Cyril: I'll keep eyes on Keith
Cyril: Oh or Adem can
Amoni Steeltower: ( <@!Adem Nineball> ?)
Keith: because Cyril could be going haxxors instead
Cyril: pff
Amoni Steeltower: ( <@!Victor Demos> ?)
Kalos: =================
