Brotherhood of the Machine (OOC Thread) {03}

[Azlan]

Dorcan's waiting on the goahead - my guess is that Morgan simply won't give it until they're gone.

Actually, I was waiting for Ryudo to tell me if I saw anyone up on the opposite side of where the fighting was... or anything peculiar.  Since he did not, I am going to assume that it is completely and utterly free and clear as far as all normal scanning (visual, IF, UV, etc.) can reveal.

[Ryudo Lee]

I had already done that several posts ago.

Morgan's scan would turn up a couple of zealots still inside the tower, possibly instructed to remain there by the foreman.

The foreman shrugged off most of the suppressing fire, but the rockets at his feet caused him to trip and topple over.  Without missing a beat, he picked himself back up, and brought his gun around to bear.

So the foreman jumped off the roof?  You have noticed we are trying to go up yes?  Opposite side from fighting...

[Ryudo Lee]

No, he ran out the front door, as I had posted earlier.  It can be assumed that these two ran up to the top floor and are the only ones remaining.

[Azlan]

I can't seem to remember if we have a tower schematic, or do we know where to go?  Do we at least have a general area of where the computer I need to hax is?

[Ryudo Lee]

*Goes digging for old posts...*

Nope, no schematics, just to find what you can.  Remember that Jackson said that their only spy in a tower was only able to access low level areas.  The tower isn't completely built, so you've only got a few floors to search.

[Tapewolf]

I was about to move Dorcan, but I seem to have been pipped to the post by Ryudo.

[Tapewolf]

Seemed a bit too easy if it just opened.  If anyone objects, let me know and I'll patch it.

[Ryudo Lee]

It's reasonable enough that the foreman had been in there and left it unlocked when he ran out to go fight.  The other door, however, is locked up tight.

Hmm. I hope that morphine is somewhat diluted, Prof. According to this link about the death of Kurt Cobain, the maximum lethal dose of heroin (for those of you who don't peruse wikipedia in your spare time, heroin is based on morphine, and is about 1.5-2 times as effective) is 0.5 milligrams per liter of blood. Since the average adult male has, what, 4 liters or so, that's something like 80 milligrams.

20ml per minute, assuming pure, means that you'll kill him by overdose... ;-]

I think in about 5 minutes flat. Of course, it may well take a little longer for him to actually die form the OD..

[Ryudo Lee]

Yeah I think PBH needs to look that up a bit more... or if Jathon does actually know what he's doing, then it's just a simple replacement of what she posted with whatever the proper amount would be.  Of course if he doesn't really know what he's doing then, well, chalk it up to experience.

[Tapewolf]

Out of interest, what are the doors like?  Steel?  Reinforced?  Normal wooden office doors?

[Ryudo Lee]

I guess it would help if I described them huh?  Much like the rest of the tower, the doors are metal, made of the same material the rest of the tower is made out of.

Dorcan's not going to be able to "Open it anyway" then 

[Azlan]

Depending on the locking mechanism... or whether it is controlled from the security system (which appears to be in Computer Ops), Morgan may be able to open it.

If it is s physical door lock, maybe Dorcan can pick it if he is appropriately skilled.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I think Dorcan was looking to kick it in, unless I'm misunderstand something somewhere. ;-]

That was the idea, yes.

[Ryudo Lee]

The lock is not a simple deadbolt or anything like that.  It's a complicated electronic system, which is controlled by the security systems.

Jathon had left Jexx to return the Bro guard to the vans, All he ask for was 30 seconds lead time and you were on your own.

Jathon will not post anything more unless a PC gets hurt until the end of the mission or something else happens.

There is time for chatter while Morgan works, if any of the characters has anything to say.  If no one has anything to say, we can fast forward a little to where Morgan gets the security doors open.

I'm okay with that.

This will teach me not to posting without enough research...or It is my dyslexia...I will go fix it, now. 

Thanks

Well, the other option is that you're talking about a dilute mix, in which case "20ml" is the mix, and not the active substrate.

Which is fairly likely...

[Prof B Hunnydew]

Wel, that is what is a IV is... 20ml into a liter bag of IV solution is 20/1000=.02cc of morphin per minute.

or about that...depending on drip rate.

PBH

20ml in 1000ml @ 20ml/minute is 0.4ml (20/1000*20 = 20*20/1000 = 2*2/10 = 4/10) of active substrate/minute. If we're counting, that is. ;-]

Assuming the drip rate is 20ml/minute. Your number suggests the IV should be dripping at 1ml/minute, or ~16.6 hours to run through. Would that be right?

[Prof B Hunnydew]

Well Hey,  I am no medical student or intern.. But I am sure that is enough, we will be back at HQ before that  Hopefully by airlift.

I think we're (or you're) overestimating the Rebellion's resources once again.

[Tapewolf]

I think we're (or you're) overestimating the Rebellion's resources once again.

An airlift would also kind of alert the Brotherhood to the presence of something we don't want them alerted to.

One can wish....How about a aitline ticket...?

It's only a day's drive back to HQ...
