Creating a drug to dampen psi abilities should be possible. Let me check out your sheet and make some rolls.

Unless you render them fully unconscious and scrambled they won't likely be fully effective though. and there is always the possibility that the response you saw with Mike was a programmed response to specific stimuli.

After figuring in the difficulty, time considerations, etc

You ended up with a partial success. You have created a drug that you believe will be somewhat effective. In a regular psion who volunteered for testing it almost completely blocked his abilities for a period of 7 hours. Given the nature of the uber psion you think it will be at least partially effective and combined with the psi damper should prevent another attack like the one that felled Michael, but no guarantees on that.

Well that's better than nothing.

Andrew will keep this project active working to refine and strengthen the chemical in his spare time as a counterpoint to his taint research.

Of course Joani will support Ulric, too! Forgot to mention that, sorry

no, don't think so. The melding mechanically combines the dice pools of two telepaths, I just don't see it having any mechanical effect with PL. From an RP perspective perhaps, but not mechanically.

So Im hoping Cody gets to interrogate the new prisoners when we get them. Even without telepathy he is rediculous with mundane hypnosis, interrogation and rapport and I would love a chance to do things the old fashioned way.

I'm currently not sure what or whom we are waiting for?

Are you expecting something from us, Fox?...

and lastly - this one goes more to Kyria - is that fiction you started a private session or could someone join you there... for example me? laugh

The fiction isn't private, and I'd meant to post more but I kinda ran out of creative steam as I've been planning my LARP stuff for this weekend (which went awesome, so I'm all happy tonight), and working on my rpg again. I know Cody had mentioned wanting to post in the fiction as well, so have at and we'll see where it leads. smile

Cool cool - I play LARP, too. We've got real castles in Germany which is really awesome. There are two huge areas which LARPers regularly use since its almost completely preserved including catacombs... makes for awesome Dungeons.

I presume you play Fantasy LARP?

BTT - You are aboard Lorean, right? Currently we all are? I kind of got confused because we've been switching places from the infirmary to the lounge to the Presidents quarters (which is all aboard Lorean). Joani feels rather lost right now and could need someone to talk. I think it would help you get better into character.

the president is staying aboard ship and doesn't plan to leave at the moment. He also doesn't plan to leave when the psions are brought aboard, but that hasn't been discussed yet. He feels much safer here with you guys than he would on Earth at the moment.

I was goin to make a post, but I was unsure as to where to put it. Do we post in the 'Alone' thread? Or are we still posting in 'Those who have strayed from the Path'?

heh.

I'm having trouble deciding what to do as well. You guys have been uncovering the plot nicely, and I'm tempted to hand you the other Proxies so that we can move on to the alien encounter, but then again, I don't want to make this too easy on you, or just give too much without making you work for it; that way leads to boredom.

Been debating it since yesterday. Fear not, however, I will only debate what to do for so long before I just post and let things fall where they may.

If you have a preference feel free to speak up. I'm fine with skipping ahead a bit or going into more depth with the conspiracy. Either way works for me, but I want you guys to get out of the story what most interests you.

And I was waiting for some reply from the President and what the interrogation would reveal. Currently Joani and Omar are pretty much on hold since we are the tanks/bricks of the party.

That's the reason I thought I could do some good with the time inbetween and try to get better acquainted with Kyria.

Ok, I'm good with going forward on the proxy issue then.

Question is whats the plan, you are going to transport them and damp them and drug them. Are you going to try mental or verbal interrogation?

I heard Cody wanted to do it "the old fashioned way". I suppose drugging and dampening them would be the safest way. Omar and I would be around in case some muscles are needed. I'll be staying with the President as promised, so just call on me in case of an emergency.

We damp them, we drug them, then we try the good cop / bad cop routine.

Adding Ulric as good cop is probably a very good idea, and Cody as bad cop. Cody has massive amounts of mega manip, and Ulric of mega Cha.
