I'm also aware of the weapon involved, including its modern-day equivalent. Ghrreigh is also quite aware. It's pretty clear that you aren't quite grasping the situation.<br/><br/>Please go look up the word 'flechette.' Ghrreigh is using a weapon which is EXPRESSLY designed for flexible use inside a ship either to crack open airlocks OR to provide antipersonnel functions without damaging ship controls and systems by using low velocity shotgunned darts. Adrianna, unless she slept through her Army years, which she didn't, would know that there are multiple-purpose grenades of various types and would know what a flechette was. It basically converts the AGL into an oversized shotgun.<br/><br/>Additionally, Adrianna, after raising all manner of holy hell about the owners of the ship voting on anything significant, is now on a less-than-quorum basis doing something which rationally and reasonably could be described as dangerous. The characters don't know what the AI will do when it awakens surrounded by strangers, we also don't know if it was directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths of other crew. Wiring it into a mobile chassis without finding out what it is, when we know it's extremely advanced tech level (read: beyond most of the Third Imperium) without checking first to be sure it can't access ship's systems, doesn't have access to weapons, etc., is grossly irresponsible. Is it likely that it'll work out okay? Probably, because it looks like it's meant to be a playful and friendly GMNPC, but in in-character terms, the robot is alien space super-technology whose programming, constraints, and environmental and weapons access are unknown. I mean, come on! Salvagers activating the disassembled robot on the ship whose crew clearly met a bad end without checking the robot out first and making absolutely, 100% sure it wasn't the cause of those problems? That's practically a standard SF horror movie murder-machine plot. Ghrreigh pointed out that this was a very bad idea, but Adrianna's going ahead and doing it. Ghrreigh is therefore bringing the minimum weapon she's absolutely sure will stop the thing.<br/><br/>Now, aside from that, I enjoy a bit of back and forth and character conflict, but this is starting to feel like you're OOCly looking for any possible excuse to start things, and the "FYI" feels flat condescending.<br/><br/>If you'd like to retract Adrianna's statement and have her say something that shows she understands what's going on, great. I will then appropriately edit Ghrreigh's reply.
