Einar: hmm.

(@Serenity) machine spirit, if you're awake how close can you hug an asteroid?

Serenity: A distance of 100 meters is the minimum safe distance, howver the actual distance varries depending on the intended speed

Einar: hmmm.

Nah nevermind, is there anyway to make the ship look disabled?

Einar: ....ok so my plan is to fake an SOS and get a ship to approach us.

Serenity: That seems easy enough to acomplish, though I would recomend putting on spacesuits first

Six: My armor can vacuum-seal. Not for very long - I have about 30 minutes of air, but that should be enough for a hostile boarding action.

Serenity: Grab a spare O2 tank, it is probaly preferable to vent atmosphere so that we look even more wounded then we are

Six: -heads over towards O2 storage-

Man. We're talking about using an SOS signal to lure in a human vessel and then eat it alive.

If Geneva hadn't been rescinded due to "immediate existential threat", I'd have a few reservations.

Serenity: There should be, but thanks for reminding me Six, we are about to violate Article 37 of protocol 1 of the 1949 geneva convention, if any one has objections please speak up now

Naomi: ...wait a minute, what's that one again?

I know the Geneva Convention is the whole "war crimes list" thing, but... is it the whole "we're using a distress signal to hijack a ship" thing?

Einar: well look at it this way, we're a hired third party, hired by a man who likely never informed the side we're helping that we're helping them, basically preforming a black operation.

We'd probably be executed regardless of the situation.

Six: I'm not sure I like this either. But we aren't natives of this place. We are dealing with very unscrupulous people. If we don't give the right responses using any of Einar's other suggestions - or if we get found trying to sneak into the colony - they likely won't hesitate to destroy the ship and kill all of us.

Even if we wanted to do any of those other options we'd need a way of figuring out what info to use, and the only real way to do that would be to disable a ship and get the proper information from its databanks. And in that case, might as well use the ship to get in since we're there.

War is a dirty business. This is the best option.

Serenity: Lots of stuff is outlawed, any way I may be able to propose some options out of commando tactic school if you want some things that are less illegal

-then Naomi and Quartz-

Well. We've got time.

Serenity : While it is not safe for the ships hull to get too close to an asteroid, we can take and land of you guys on its surface, then fire potshots from behind it, due to the asteroids mass being in the way, they will not be able to return fire without repositioning behind it

At which point the ship will warp out, giving you guys a clear line of movment from the asteroid to there hull
