TCP: RECOVERY SESSION

[Pichi2214]

I'd like to wave back and then sit down and offer them a hug!

Also I second the introduction, telling them our name and that we can make stuff and that we want to build a big home for them and Alto and future friends.

[Orange Juice Goose]

Howdy pardner.

Is there anything Tenor would like to know?

[cosmo]

SOMBROUS: Hi there, partner! It's nice to meet you. Our name is Sombrous. Would you like a hug?

TENOR: It's very nice to meet you, Sombrous! You are rather large so I think I would prefer if you wouldn't hug me, if that's alright.

SOMBROUS: Perfectly understandable. Well, if there's anything you want us to make or teach you, let us know! We want to build a big home for you and Alto and your future friends.

Tenor nods but they seem distracted.

SOMBROUS: Is something wrong?

TENOR: Alto seems to be trying to get our attention. Apparently there's something happening? I'm going to take the cap off now so we can get a better scope of what's going on.

Tenor whips off the sleeping cap before you can respond and your focus returns to the Starbound Haunt. Alto is standing beside Tenor and tugging on their arm. A loud ringing sound echoes through the station.

[RedGreenBlue]

It's entirely possible this isn't a cause for alarm, but to err on the side of caution I think making weapons for our cats to protect themselves might be a good idea.

[seppawku]

introducing weapons out of the blue seems like it'd escalate way too far imo.. we have the upper hand in our base and no reason to think that there's any danger, so i think it'd be okay to just have them answer the door! or maybe we can make an intercom if we don't feel safe w that?

[victorianflorist]

What if we give them nets? Like quilted blanket nets that induce sleep in those captured in them.

Not a weapon exactly but cant be used to defend the cats.

[Orange Juice Goose]

See if the TCPs can use the console to investigate.

[MarxzVulpez]

I also suggest that we check the console
also tell them we're going to create something and CREATE a view screen panel for seeing what's on the other side of the door

[1011686]

Yeah creating a way to view what's on the other side of the door is a good idea. Tell Tenor and Alto it's probably fine. Whoever's here appears to be ringing the doorbell, and they wouldnt do that unless they are polite.

Edit: ok so that's an empty space not a door. No problem, just >Create a door there. Warn Alto and Tenor first, and it wouldnt be good to scare them, so make it a nice door, polished metal with colorful patterns on it. It should come with a lock that Tenor and Alto can use, but start off unlocked, because I think locking off their only apparent route out of this room would paint a bad picture, even if they dont necessarily want to leave right now. Then, create the view panel that let's them see onto the other side of it.

[cosmo]

You mentally run through your options. You briefly consider making weapons or other tools for the sake of self defense, but you don't want to escalate the situation if you don't have to. After giving the kitties a quick heads up, you start building your defenses. 

CREATE: Metal door with locking mechanism, camera view monitoring just outside the door

Alto creeps over to check the viewing screen, gripping Tenor's paw tightly.

You can't see anything that could be the source of the noise. The sound is pretty echo-y so maybe it's coming from further away...?

At your request, Tenor moves over to the nearest console and starts flipping through surveillance feeds. Alto stays by the door, stating that if anyone wants to come in and hurt her new friends, they'll have to get through her first.

 

[seppawku]

i... i guess we should go pick that up! i vote we have tenor and alto stay together though;; separating ... bad idea

[1011686]

Yeah, stay together and approach the phone. Its kinda hard to tell how far away it is, if its just around the corridor from the door or if its a way's walk though this space station place. In case its the latter, I want to make something that'll let us get through this place faster. Give warning to Alto and Tenor, and then >create a two-person scooter, plus two helmets.

[knux400]

Seconding the scooter.

SAY: We need you to go pick that thing up, it might be helpful to us later. It's hard to tell how far away it is from the camera, so we're making you a thing to get you there faster if need be. Stay together, and if something happens, we'll protect you.
TEACH BOTH: SCOOTER USE

[cosmo]

CREATE: Scooter, helmets

You run through your plan with Alto and Tenor. You want them to stay together and pick up the phone. It's a bit hard to tell how far away it is so you've made them something to help them travel across the station quickly. You're going to teach them how to use it now.

TEACH both: Scooter operation

Alto hops onto the scooter and fastens her helmet with a click. Tenor does the same, sliding on behind Alto. There is then a pause during which you all realize that the door is still closed. Tenor gets off the scooter and holds the door open for Alto to drive the scooter through. Once successfully outside, they sit back down behind Alto and she floors it.

Alto handles the scooter confidently, letting out a squeak of joy as they cruise down the station walkway. Tenor holds onto her tightly, but you can tell that they are enjoying the high speeds too. Too quickly, the pair arrives at their destination. 

The bike screeches to a stop and the TCPs dismount. Alto pops the case open with ease and pulls out the ringing device!

On the communicator's screen, some text is flashing.

MOLL is calling, pick up? Y/N

[Orange Juice Goose]

Y, I doubt they have access to cognito-hazards so why not?

[victorianflorist]

Yes, new friend time

Maybe we should make the Cognito-hazards?

[seppawku]

y!! what's a cognito-hazard?

[Orange Juice Goose]

A term popularized by SCP Foundation, basically anything that by perceiving it affects you in a typically harmful way, but more or less everything is hazardous because of inconvience.
IE a Cognito-hazard kill-agent which kills you if you look at an image.

I was making a jest that we have literally nothing to lose because the chances of stuff like that are low.

[knux400]

Hit Y, but let the TCPs know we're going to be talking to someone else for a bit. In the meantime, they should probably head back home and wait for us to finish. Maybe get to know each other a bit?

[cosmo]

You pick up.

SOMBROUS: Hello?

MOLL: Oh hey hey, hi there! Who might you be? I haven't seen you before. Are you from Reticy?
MOLL: No-no-no wait I think know! You're a collective right? A new one? That's probably it. Just like Limestone, how cool!
MOLL: I wonder if they're playing this time. I'm sure it'd like to meet you.

She talks... really fast. You're having trouble keeping up.

MOLL: Oh, but how rude of me! I am Moll, a greater god of the Ménage pantheon. And you are? :O
