Before we start, let’s get a few things sorted out.
You’ll start with the following skills:
Mechanics [Basic]
Park Knowledge [Basic]
Dinosaur Knowledge [Basic]

Next, pick two from the following list. I'll take the first combination that gets 3 votes.

Survival [Basic]
Athletics [Basic]
Firearms [Basic]
Computers [Basic]
First Aid [Basic]
Vehicles [Basic]
or
Any Basic Skill [Specialty]

You can upgrade a [Basic] skill with a [Specialty] in that skill, as per the following examples.

+ Mechanics [Automotive]
+ First Aid [Lacerations]
+ Athletics [Climbing]
+ Dinosaur Knowledge [Specific Species]
etc.


[Basic] skills are not required to attempt actions (i.e. you can still drive a car under normal circumstances without Vehicles [Basic]), but it will make more difficult actions easier to attempt or lessen penalties or failures. [Specialty] skills further this.

Additional [Basic] and [Specialty] skills will be largely chosen by the players, and will be acquired as you progress through the story or gain experience in an area.

Bumping with the music we should all be listening to.

rolled 92 = 92

Call in sick and bail on this scene. You saw what that Raptor did to Ramundo last week. Fuck that.
And T-rex's? Nah son, just nah.

And if that don't fly, then I say we look like Pic related

rolled 37 = 37

>>14001120
Forgot Pic

The time is 2:56pm. You’re currently at the Visitor Center motor pool, performing weekly upkeep on several of the Land Cruisers used in park tours. Mid-way through your work, the walkie-talkie on your belt crackles to life.

“Ckkkzzhh-orter, this is dispatch, do you copy? We've got output from Wind turbines 1 through 5 reading zilch. What's your twenty? Over."

......................

>>14001156

Ignore. Kill newman. Make it look like velociraptors did it. Save park.

>>14000995
Seconded. Fuck Nedry.

>>14001156
ignore it, just continue what you is doing

>>14001156
The power's going out?

Tits. Report our position. We'll go check the power station. Tell them the backups should come online shortly, but they ought to send somebody out to check those, too.

>>14001156
These the ones in the north, or the ones by the airstrip?

Also, posting in potentially awesome thread.

>>14001156
We copy. Want us to go check i out?

>>14001228
im in love with that picture

>received the green light from legal investigators as well as official endorsements from paleoscientists Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler, and self-styled ‘chaotician’ Dr. Ian Malcolm.

>>14001206
i think the one to the north is hydro not wind

>>14001274
I belive thats what you call a retcon

Say, what kind of skill check would it take if we, say, decided to disable the fences around the Triceratops pen, fashion a harness, and ride a Triceratops around the park?

>>14001206
You know that there are three power stations across the island. The hydro-electric station is on the north end of the island, powered by waterfall that empties into a small lake. The windmills are to the south, situated on a high bluff to the south-west of the airstrip. There's also a small geothermal plant on the southern tip.


You copy back, and inform them of your duties. You're happy to help though -- what's the situation?

"We need a body down there to check it out. The security feed ain't showing any animal breech in the compound, but the turbines are registering as offline from the grid. Radio back when you're on the scene, over."

>>14001303
Precisely.

>>14001309
can we take a jeep to get down there? If there is an undetected animal breach Id rather enjoy a chance to get away.

>>14001309
check our inventory, do we have any sort of self defence weapon? What tool do we have that would work well?

>>14001309
Better bring a buddy, you know the laws here, Always bring a buddy.
How about Perkins? or that one security guard whose only hear because he likes the Big Game

>>14001309
"Copy. Might want to send somebody to make sure the secondary gennies are fueled up, while I'm in transit. We really don't want a power failure."

>>14001323

You're in the Visitor Center motor pool and there are two of the six gas powered jeeps still in the garage.

get in oen of the jeeps and check it out, cbf finding a buddy

>>14001352
Grab a buddy to ride shotgun and load a jeep up with tools and spare parts

What is park standard procedure for things like this?

>>14001398

And gun for Christ sakes! Just in case something unexpected comes.

>>14001398
What this guy said

Thirding request for buddy. Tell Barney we'll buy him a beer later if he comes with us with a gun.

>>14001398
"Jesus, Porter. Are you planning to build a new windmill while you're out there, or what?"

"If it comes to that, yes."

>>14001419
That's what the buddy is for. Preferably a security guy/animal control

>>14001432
Don't want to drive back if we didn't bring the part we need. So we'll take all the parts we can fit

>>14001434
This, but with some knowledge of how to deal with natural hazards (could be due to trpoical weather conditions)

>Deinonychus holding pen right next to employee housing

Seriously, who does that? Can we speak with the architect and/or civic planner of this island?

The person who thought letting the Velociraptor Holding Pen so close to the employee bungalows needs to be fired

>>14001494

see >>14001474

>>14001474
>>14001494
The first draft had employees living in the T-Rex enclosure.

The concession came along with the phrase, "Fine, if all you're going to do it whine about it."

>>14001474
>>14001494
Maybe so they could react quickly to a breach?
It'd be more secure than the pen, guarded regularly, lots of failsafes & alarms

>>14001329

INVENTORY
- Blue Level Security Card
- JP Maintenance Dept. Coveralls
- Utility Belt
- Flashlight [Pwr: |||||]
- Walkie-Talkie [Pwr: |||||]
- Compressed Air Pistol
- x10 Tranquilizer Darts
- Toolbox

>>14001334
"Copy. There's an old gas genny in the compound, though you'll have to bring fuel from the motor pool to get her going. The windmill grid can still maintain all major functions for at least an hour. You might be able to power down non-essentials to eek it out a little longer."

"There's a lot riding on this, Porter. The windmills power grid supplied the majority of the western island compounds, and at least 25% of the park fences proper...
We can divert some power from the geothermal or hydro grids if worse comes to worse, but not for long. Get on it. Over."

Perkins is easy to find.He patrols the route between the visitor center and the utility shed, and at the top of the hour, you find him between the motor pool and visitor center entrance.

"Yo, Porter, how's it?" he calls to you as you flag him down. After explaining the situation, he nods. "Yeah man, I'm with you, but if my supervisor finds out, it's your ass not mine, you dig?"

You fill up two large, red gas canisters and stow them in the back of the jeep. While you're there, you notice an emergency roadside kit, complete with six waterproof flares, a first aid kit, and a handheld area floodlight. You make a mental note and tuck it back under the seat.

Alright Porter, you're behind the wheel and Perkins takes shotgun, rifle in hand, and a long stun baton on his hip the length of your forearm. Anything else, or are you heading out?

>>14001538
But why would they put the visitor's center so close to it then? I understand they want to have the employees and visitors both close to the park entrance, but just plunking down a human-sized dromaeosaur enclosure right next to both of those is really dumb.
Shit, even the emergency bunker isn't that far away. They should've had the enclosure on the other side, so if they escaped they would have time to barricade off the living quarters and send out a hunting party. They're not smart enough to shut things down.

>>14001581
Can we grab some extra batteries for our flashlight and walkie-talkie?

>>14001581
make sure we we properly close all the doors/gates and do all the safety procedures.
make sure we have the gas for the generator.

>>14001581
What levels of security are there? how high up is blue?

>>14001604

You check the supply cabinets in the motor pool and find two spare rechargeable batteries, just like the ones in your flashlight and radio. At least now you'll have spares while the others recharge.

>>14001581
No night vision goggles with improbably entertaining green swirly lights on the front?

>Toolbox
>Stun Baton

Oh, we're ready to robust some dinosaurs, now. Let's go.

>>14001617

You know that Blue is the lowest clearance level granted to employees. Your direct supervisors are granted Green clearance, and the departments heads hold Yellow clearance cards. You've seen areas whose access requires Orange and even Red clearance, but you can only postulate who might hold those cards.

>>14001604

just remember: "turn the light off"

JPAdmin: lets ride before we waste any more time

OP, let's roll.

>>14001228
>>14001241
Here's bigger version.

>>14001447

Not knowing what the problem is, let alone what part or parts of the power grid might be malfunctioning, you don't know where to begin. With the added fact that you're in the motor pool, the best you can do is ensure you toolbox is fully stocked before heading out.

Pulling away from the garage, you take the utility road that follows along the coast to the west. You feel the hairs prickle at the back of your neck as you pass the velociraptor holding pen. Even from the road, and with your engine running, you can hear the feral shrieks and screams. It must be feeding time. Pushing your foot down a bit firmer, you drive swiftly past down the road.

"Shit, I tell you Kendel pulled Aviary duty again this week?" Perkins tells you as you drive on, seeing the ocean blue flash on your right between the dense jungle. "Told me one of those pteranodon bastards grabbed the cattle prod right out of his hands through the cage!"

"You shoulda seen his jumpsuit from the time before that. Holes in it as big as your head. Damn..." Perkins shakes his head. You keep driving.

3:47pm.

You can see the tops of the windmills through the treeline. It's a steep drive to the top of the bluff, but it's nothing the jeep can't handle. Once you crest the ridge, it's an easy drive to the Windmill Compound. A 12 foot high perimeter fence surrounds the grid and power shed. You can see the WARNING 10,000 VOLTS signs from here, but the telltale electric hum is absent, they must be deactivate.

How do we approach the situation?

Cautiously check the fence and door for damage, and tell buddy to keep his eyes and ears sharp. Then enter the area, with him covering you, and approach the shed with care.
Take your toolbox with you.

Scout around the ourside for holes in the fence

>>14001978
Call it in, state the current situation. See if the gate still works, if not stay in the car and check for dinosaur activity before getting out.
Make sure Perkins is watching your back too

>>14001978
>The Electric Fence is down

CALL IT IN. HOLY SHIT, SOMEBODY MAKE SURE THE REST OF THE FENCES ARE WORKING.

>>14002038
And make sure that when they reboot the system, they turn the MAIN power on.

Not the SECONDARY power. The MAIN power.

>>14002014
Radio in that the fence is unpowered.

Radio in the downed fence and load tranq pistol

is anyone stationed at the turbines or is it left unmanned? i wouldnt like to shit my pants fro ma noise just to have it be the dipshit who fell asleep on his shit waking up.

>>14001593
Look, pretty much Jurassic Park's entire thing is that it's a zoo designed by people who had no idea how in the fuck to build a zoo and who didn't want to listen to anybody who did.

Also, when Hammond says "we spared no expense" on the construction, what he actually means is "the amount of expense spared was $0". Anywhere corners could be cut, they were.

>>14000970

You make me smile OP...in making this quest.

>jurassic park
>not a picture of the island of Kauai, Hawaii

NOPE

Concurred. Before anything else, radio in about the fences.

That's not Jurassic Park, that's Brazil.

Anyone feel like adopting a quest?

didn't someone make a Jurassic park PnP game?
that would be kinda fun to try out

>>14003157
In the latest Eclipse Phase supplement, there was actually a planet on which they were engineering dinosaurs. There's even a big picture of a robot riding a triceratops.

>>14008139
Awesome. I think we were cautiously checking the fence around the turbines for any holes, while radioing control and letting them now the fence seems to be down and asking them to check the rest of the fences.

Because everyone wants to see raptors fighting gorillas.

On a slow board threads can stay alive for months. There's a thread on /d/ that's been around since January 1st.

>>14024963
Yeah... I would guess /po/ as not the slowest moving, but having the threads with the greatest longevity. It takes about a week for a one post thread to fall off the back page, but sometimes a model will get posted and it'll stay up forever as people slowly bump. There are still a couple of threads from early December alive there right now, and that's not at all uncommon.

Dammit, now I want a Jurassic Park video game. One thats good.

Anyone remember that game for the PC with the scanner to scan barcodes and shit? It played like Monster Rancher for Jurassic Park.

Fucking cool.

145 post so far. there is still plenty of room for bumps or questing.

seriously QUEST GUY NEEDED

Maybe someone should take over?

Hell, this long? I'll take a whack at it.

>>14009410

" Roger that. The fences in the area are down, but cameras aren't finding any breaches in integrity. Get the turbines running, we don't want any dinos escaping."

You scout around the fence and notice no holes in it. However, there are some points where the ground has been unearthed beneath the fence.

>>14030253
Thank you! This may yet live!

>where the ground has been unearthed beneath the fence.
We are fucked, aren't we.
What containment pens are nearby? And radio back that we're not 100%, but we're pretty sure that containment's been compromised. Ask for a security detail as escort, and if we're wrong we'll buy everyone a beer.

>>14030314

Hypsilophodon
Othnielia

in addition, you know that Procompsognathus, or Compys, are everywhere on the island.

"*static* Umm, we're not seeing any breaches in the fences. What are you seeing?"

>>14030314
Radio back:
"Look, somethings been digging underneath the fence. You guys made sure that the fences extend a couple feet below the surface, right?"

>>14030402

"*static* That's a negative. Extends a couple inches at most. Alright, well get a crew out there to fill in the holes. We still need power from those turbines, so get in there and fix them already.

>>14030447
"Copy, Central. I'll radio back once I'm at the generators."
Tell Perkins to keep an eye out, see if the gate will still open remotely.
If not, make sure to take a close look around the area before exiting the jeep to open the gate manually.
Make sure to take the tranq pistol with us, and that it's loaded.

>>14030510

Perkins grimaces, "I swear, if something happens, I will hurt you." But he brings the rifle up to a ready position and keeps a look out.

Gate's lost power, so it won't open remotely. You'll have to do it by hand. You look around the area, and see some native, actually native, fauna scampering around. Nothing scaly.

You approach the gate, pistol at the ready. You observe handles on the side of the door, along with a large light at the top that's nonfunctional.

>>14030563
The light isn't on?
Manually open the door, wave Perkins through to drive the jeep into the compound, then we close the gate, just in case something bigger comes along and wants to come inside.
We get back into the jeep, and drive up to the power shed.

>>14030601

Contrary to the rest of the park, the shed is rather shabby looking. Rust has is present in irregular patches and the corrugated metal is looking pretty old. The area around the shed is clear of vegetation, and the bluff offers a great view of the island and the ocean.

>>14030639
Before we go in, since theres probably no power lets get our toolbox and flashlight (turned on) in one hand and the pistol in the other

>>14030639
Do we notice any clawprints in the sand?
Probably nothing that obvious, but it never hurts to check.
Grab our toolbox, make sure that we can draw the pistol in a hurry, and enter the shed with Perkins watching our back.
Tell him we'll owe him a few beers after this.

>>14030683
I tripped my name so I'm not confused with
>>14030510
>>14030601

>>14030683
Actually, we got any of those hands-free flashlights or headlamps? That way, if we're in trouble, we'll have the gun in one hand and we can swing the toolbox with the other.

>>14030693

"More than a few..." Perkins grumbled, his eyes darting around. As you approach the door with toolbox and pistol in had, you notice what look like bird tracks all over the place.

>>14030720
Ok so theres either Compys or a smaller child/baby form of one of these lizards around here.
Eyes peeled going in.
>>Internal magai
ooh thats whats inside

>>14030720
>you notice what look like bird tracks all over the place.
Oh, well that's not ominous at all!

But seriously, we need to get power going again or we will be REALLY screwed.
"Perkins, I, uh, I don't think those are bird tracks. You got a round loaded?"
We got any duct tape?
Let's duct tape one our extra flashlights to our tranq pistol before proceeding inside. Be ready to swing our toolbox like it's SS13.

>>14030780

"I got ya, there's a whole clip in here."

What kind of self-respecting toolbox doesn't have duct tape? But the flashlight is pretty big, it will unbalance the gun if you tape it on there.

>>14030807
I think that the ability to shine light on whatever we aim at, like a kludged together laser aimpoint module, is worth the unbalancing.
Hell, do we even have one of those little laser pointers? Might be good to put on Perkins' gun.

>>14030826

Alright, you tape the light to the gun, which is now pretty top heavy. You open the door, which is very creaky. Man, maintenance sucks here. The door leads into a small room with stairs leading downward. There is a table on the wall opposite the stairs with a radio set, a computer, and a map of the park.

>>14030969
Are the radio or computer turned on? Can they be turned on?
Maybe we can use the computer to get a diagnostic of the windmill power grid and generator status.

>>14030994

Both radio and computer do have power.

>>14031010
>Both have power
Alright then. Let's see if the computer can give us a status report on the power grid, identify what the problem is, what we need to do to fix it.
Also, if any security or proximity alerts have been triggered inside the shed.

>>14031042

There's 1 alert on the computer, which would be that the emergency generator for the building is running low on fuel, lighting has been cut off to compensate.

The computer registers no connection to the wind turbines.

>>14031068
>emergency generator for the building is running low on fuel
I say the first thing we need to do is ensure that the emergency generator has fuel.
Let's go back to the jeep and grab one of the jerry cans.
Also, use the radio to contact dispatch.
"Dispatch, this is Porter. I'm in the Windmill Compound, and the computer's reporting no connection at all to any of the windmills. I think we might need a full maintenance team for this. I'll apprise you of the situation when I take a look at the power lines."

>>14031107

"*static* Roger. All maintenance teams are currently on task, but as soon as one opens up we can swing it your way, provided that the job requires it. Find out what the problem is and get back to me. Out."

You grab one of the gas cans from the truck and haul it inside the building. The generator, along with the turbines, should be down in the basement.

>>14031159
Does Perkins have a flashlight or a headlamp?
Does he have a tactical flashlight for his rifle?
I know it's just a theme park, but this is a theme park where everything is a goddamn armored lion/tiger equivalent.

Anyway, since we've got the flashlight for our pistol, turn it on, and we'll take point. Go downstairs and head for the emergency generator.

>>14031195

Perkins has neither of those things, and is still watching the jeep.

>>14031213
Well then, I think he should come with us, with his rifle and grab the floodlight from the roadside kit.
Make sure that the jeep's doors are securely closed, and that we close the shed door behind us.
If he asks, just tell him we got a lot of stuff we need to take with us, and an extra pair of hands would help since the lights are off.

>>14031271
good ideas

>>14031271

"Umm, I really think it'd be a good idea for someone to stay here and watch the jeep. Just in case...you know."

>>14031362
"Alright, alright. Honk the horn if you see anything out of the ordinary."

Damn it, I hate going into the dark alone, but he's got a point that we need to make sure that the jeep is a safe fallback position. So we'll have our pistol, a floodlamp with us, the jerry can of fuel. Let's get to it.

>>14031430

The only way you can carry all three of those is if you holster the pistol, which you can't do anymore because of the the taped on flashlight.

Anyway, I'm out. Got school tomorrow and I want to go to bed at a decent time. I'll be on around 3PM CST if you guys want to keep at it. Night.

>>14031459
I was thinking of hooking a part of the floodlamp into our belt.
We may have been part of the motor pool, but we're still maintenance. We should really have a tool belt.

Anyway, thanks for running. We'll see if this thread survives till tomorrow.

>>14031476
We have a Utility belt its in the inventory here
>>14001581

>>14031526
So we should be able to hook the floodlamp into the utility belt, then.

It takes a lot of duct tape, and the result is rather silly looking, but you manage to secure the floodlight onto your hard hat.

>>14038810

im laughing here...man I can't wait till another NPC see's you...he's gonna be like...THE FUCK?

>>14038841
they may laugh but we are the one with the helm of dino blinding illumination.

>>14031430

With your flood-hat turned on, you descend the staircase with gas can in one hand and your pistol/flashlight in the other. As soon as you get to the bottom of the stairs you are assailed with the scent of burning meat and the sounds of scampering creatures in the dark. The lights reveal numerous droppings of.....avian, you think? Origin. Wires run along the walls further down the hall.

>>14038918
Go slowly while scaning the room with your pistol and light

>>14039000

You come to a fork in the hallway. The path in front of you continues on for a ways and then turns left. The path to your right is short followed by a turn right.

>>14039117
look for bird tracks or the smell of burnt or rotting meat and head in that direction.

>>14039117

I shout out "HELLO? IS ANYONE THERE?" Several times in an excessively loud voice.

>>14039185
>>14039159

You head down the fork to your front, shouting out to see if anyone is there. The only thing you hear is your echo and the constant scratching of vermin which you cannot see, though as you go forward, the sound of machinery becomes more and more apparent. You turn left down the hall and come to a large room with machinery all over. It appears you've found the turbines.

>>14039254
Check the room for any obvious signs of damage, and whether the source of that burning meat smell is present.

>>14039287

The first thing you notice is that you're not alone. As soon as you step into the room, you're surrounded by a bunch of chicken-sized dinosaurs. You've been around the park enough to know right away that these are Compys.

There's a lot more bird crap in here than the rest of the building, and there is also a lot of plant matter, which seems to be arranged in a form of nest.

The machinery doesn't appear to have any damage, despite being a bit gnawed on and crusty from the bird crap. The smell is strongest in front of the nearest turbine, might be coming from below the flooring.

>>14039469

chiiiirp? chiiiiirp...

>>14039469

Woops, that should be nests. Plural.

Has interest been lost for this quest?

>>14040242
The long, sudden absences probably turned off a lot of people.

>>14039469
Anyways, get the hell out and warn HQ that we've got a Compy infestation.

>>14040271

"*static* That explains the holes in the fence. Come on, they're fucking chickens. Fix the damn turbines, they shouldn't bother you. We'll get a dino reclamation team down there ASAP, just do the job."

>>14040299
Alright, since we found the turbines, let's go and top off the emergency generator's fuel tank first. That'll free up a hand so we can carry our toolbox.
Hopefully with the extra fuel, the shed's lights will come back on.

>>14040374
And in the meantime, gripe about how we're not paid enough for this crap.

>>14040387

Do you gripe on the radio or off the radio?

>>14040396
Eh, do it off. Dispatch sounds like a bunch of humorless taskmasters.

>>14040374

You walk over to the generator at the far end of the room, with the horde of lizards in tow. The generator is easily filled up, and the lights flicker on.

>>14040476
Man, I hope that they at least shelled out for ballistic nylon on these maintenance coveralls.
Anyway, with the lights back on, we should go back to the jeep and grab our toolbox.

I wish we could make a flamethrower, but I guess it'll have to wait.

Let's check the main electrical connection with the turbines. My guess is that the compys chewed through it, and we'll need a full maintenance crew anyway.

>>14040546

You head back to the jeep, where Perkins is still looking out. He eyes you with a confused expression on his face.

"Why in the hell is there a floodlight taped to your hardhat?"

>>14040582
"Hey, the headlamp I ordered hasn't come in yet, and I needed both hands free.
"Anyway, there's a whole nest of compys in there. I wish I had a flamethrower to clean them out. Dispatch wants me to fix the power main, but if they chewed through the cables, we might need an entire repair crew."
Grab the toolbox.. Do we have a can of anything flammable, and a lighter?

>>14040679
Fuck that shit, grab that fucking toolbox, rush in there, and beat the shit out of everything that isn't human!

They're only lizards, what could they do to you anyway?

>>14040679

"You look like an idiot. Anyway, here's the toolbox, and we got one more can of gas and....is WD-40 flammable?"

>>14040582

Because I'M A TYRANASAURUS REX!!!!

RAWWWRRRR!!!!!!

I bite your head off.

>>14040747
Yep, WD-40 has liquefied petroleum as one of its primary ingredients. We should be able to duct tape together a home-made flamethrower for just in case the Compy's get bitey.

Make the flamethrower, put our gun through our belt, and take the flamethrower and the toolbox back to the turbine room to check on the primary power conduits.

>>14040808

Alright, you take Perkin's lighter ("Hey!") and tape it up to the WD-40 to make a crude flamethrower. Stuffing the gun through your belt (better step carefully), you grab the toolbox and head back down to the turbines. As before, the compys surround you when you walk in and stick to you like glue.

>>14040918
Alright, I assume that we know the rough layout of this shed, right? Otherwise, why would dispatch have sent us here to fix the power turbines.

So since the computer upstairs can't communicate with any of the turbines, the primary data and power conduits must be down. Let's check those.
Put gloves on if we got'em. I suspect we'll come in contact with dino shit, and I don't want to be touching that crap with bare skin.

>>14041454

That hallway fork on the right seemed to lead under the table where the computer was located. That might be where the computer connection feeds through.

>>14041619
Alright, let's go that way. Make sure that our flood/headlamp is on just in case.

>>14041673

Alright, you head down the right fork and follow it. The passage suddenly ends in a wall. Wires come down from the ceiling and follow the wall. As you come hit the end, your floodlamp illuminates a compy chewing on the cables. Looking at the cable, it's in tatters. The compy starts at the light and darts beneath your legs, running off.

>>14041751
>Looking at the cable, it's in tatters
Shit, can we repair this, at least temporarily until a full crew can get here and replace the wiring and clean out the compys?

Oh, and standard safety protocol; make sure that the primary power is turned off before we start working on wires.

>>14041826

You've got the wiring for the job, you can replace the connection between the computer and the turbines.

>>14041887
Alright, let's do that first. Once the computer connection is back up, we can get a diagnostic report and see what's actually wrong.

>>14041939

Make a skill computers check.

>>14042026
Umm...what do I roll?
d20, d100?
One of our skills is Computers (Basic), so I take it we get a bonus or something.

>>14042059

d100, sorry.

rolled 92 = 92

>>14042068
Okay, rollan'.

Are highs or lows good? Either way, the tg diceroller is going to fuck us.

>>14042077

High's good.

You remove the old cable and replace it with some fresh cable from the wire spool on your toolbox. The wire trails along the ground as you lay it down from the computer to to the turbine room. After a bit of searching, you find the port the wire is supposed to connect to and remove the ruined wire. You cut the new wire off the spool, expertly attach the correct head to the end and plug it in.

>>14042101
>High's good.
>Get 92
Okay, beginner's luck.
Now that the connection has been restored, let's go back up and see if the computer can register the turbines now.

>>14042132

You head back up to the computer. The computer registers the turbines and is measuring their power output. But it isn't registering any power leaving the station. Something must be wrong with the power cable.

>>14042210
>Something must be wrong with the power cable.
Great, another problem.
See if the computer has a schematic of the power shed, and if we can identify the primary power conduits. Let's find them and see what's wrong.

>>14042268

"*static* Porter? What the hell is taking so long with that power? Some of the dinos have figured out that the fences are powered down."

Schematics on the computer place the power conduit as running under the turbines.

>>14042410
Radio back: "The damn compys chewed through the main power conduits! Internal diagnostics can't pinpoint where the break is; a maintenance crew would really help right now. I'm going to go down there now and see if I can't fix the break."

Right after, let's go down and see if there's a maintenance tunnel for the main power line; otherwise, let's just get down there and start tracing the line.

>>14042575

You get back down into the turbine room. The compys don't immediately surround you, instead they are chewing on the newly laid cable. Where do you want to start looking? There are three turbines lined up in the center of the room. One close to you, one in the middle, and one at the back.

>>14042753
Let's go to the back and work our way to the entrance.

>>14042779
Yeah, let's start with the one in the back.
Damn compy's, they shouldn't be allowed to roam all over the island.

>>14042825
>>14042779


You lift up the floor panelling near the box for the last turbine. Aside from being a bit gnawed on, the cable is intact.

>>14042848
Alright, next turbine, the middle one.
Make sure our flamethrower is ready; the compys might get violent if we end up disturbing one of their nests.

>>14042920

As you bend down to lift up the flooring, you feel something land on your back.

>>14043058
Curse loudly and stand the fuck up.
If that doesn't displace whatever landed there, slam backwards into a wall to crush whatever it is, and get ready to make like The Fury.

>>14000982
>>14000970
>You were recently hired as a maintenance engineer on their Isla Nublar biological preserve.
>you were one of the lucky few offered a position in only hiring cycle since the park’s inception

>Mechanics [Basic]

Something does not fit right here.

>>14043058
stand up and spin up, if that fails to knock it off slam backwords into the wall/turbine casing. use our WD40 flame thrower to scare off any other chompys

>>14043102
I dunno.
Wouldn't killing one of the dino's cause the others to respond violently?

>>14043058
READY THE FLAMES

Do not fuck around with this. Getting swarmed by Compys would be a horrible way to go.

>>14043102
>>14043112

You shout out a curse and stand up straight, whatever landed on your back is thrown off. You spin around to see a compy stand itself up.

>>14043110
I suspect that the park is trying to gloss over the patchy safety by hireing those to inexperienced to know the proper codes and regulations. Also our "basic" is a bit of a understatment as we have a decent idea of how to repair a wind turbine.

>>14043110
See >>14002237 for my explanation on this apparent plot hole.
>Also, when Hammond says "we spared no expense" on the construction, what he actually means is "the amount of expense spared was
$0". Anywhere corners could be cut, they were.

>>14043123
Mabey but if this one sucessfully attacks us it may start a feeding frenzy, also they may have some sort of poison bite so its best not to take any risk

Aim a kick at the compy. Try and scare any other ones near us off. Show them that we're not to be fucked with.

Oh wow! I just started reading this about two days ago, after reading Sphere.

Also: Why does /tg/ have so many trolls? Nedry is clearly irrelevant unless otherwise stated, since his interference was specific to the time-frame of the original inspection by Dr. Grant, etc.

>>14043169
the main problem I think is inexperienced personel and too much not known adout the dinos(like chompys wire addiction). We should radio in the chompys chewing exposed wires, theres no telling how many other problems they couldhave caused and may cause in the future if they get at anything else important

>>14043219

You aim a kick at the compy, but it manages to dart out of the way. The rest of them back off to a safer distance.

>>14043289
> The rest of them back off to a safer distance
Fuck, they're still here.
Make sure that our flamethrower is ready; maybe a small burst just to make sure it works.
Then keep one eye on them as we examine the middle turbine.

>>14043289
Burn Them.

>>14043422
>>14043340

I'm going to need a roll, see who's higher.

>>14043444
Don't burn them, just do the damn conduit. We might yet get out of this without actually fighting dinosaurs.

Seriously, because you know that if we don't get these fences back up in the next couple minutes, there will be a Rex eating our jeep.

rolled 20 = 20

>>14043444
we must put the fear of man into the bothersome scaled rats. With Fire.
rolling d20

>>14043467
>>14043340

In absence of rolling, I'll take majority.

While keeping an eye on the compys, you lift up the floor panel. The power cable is completely untouched.

>>14043587
Alright, that's it. Let's go to the last conduit. We need to get power back up before anything else gets loose.
Be careful though, but work fast. Keep an eye on the dinos and make sure they don't get to close.

>>14043611

You take a look at the flooring under the first turbine. You found the source of the burning meat smell. A compy managed to chew through the insulation on the cable and was electrocuted. The cable is throwing off a lot of sparks. It's safe to say that's the problem.

I advise that as we walk go to the next conduit we radio up and mention the compies eating the wires if we haven't already.

>>14043654
Shit.
Do we have the wiring needed to fix this?
If so, let's hurry, turn off the main power line, get this fixed, and turn the power back on.
And tell our manager that this is only going to happen again if the compies are allowed to remain loose.

>>14043728

The only thing that might do the job is soldering gear, the cable is too heavy to replace on your own.

>>14043830
Alright, let's shut the main power conduit so we don't electrocute ourselves, then break out the tools and try for a jury-rig fix.
Also radio in:
"Dispatch, this is Porter. Fucking compies chewed through the main power conduit! I think I can get it back online, but I'm going to need a full repair team to actually fix this thing, and the dinos will just chew it up again until we get them all contained.

>>14043887

"*static* Alright, we'll get a repair team down there ASAP. Not to hurry you or anything, but the fences on the entire park are starting to lose power. The geothermal and hydro plants are failing. So unless you get that conduit fixed, your ass is as good as fired."

Make d100 Mechanics check.

rolled 38 = 38

>>14044032
Well fuck.

I'm tempted to just say "If all the fences go down, we're all DEAD, not just fired. There's no emergency power for the raptor fences, Dispatch."

>>14044054
>38
Fuck.....we're fucking dead, aren't we.
Welp, nice knowing you, Frank.

>>14044054

You botch the repair job, some of the metal ignites the plastic insulation. It can still be fixed, provided the fire doesn't get out of control.

>>14044082
All the while loudly cursing, grab a fire extinguisher and put out the fire.
We need to get this damn thing fixed; if power to the raptor pens fails, we're all dino chow.

>>14044179

You grab a mini fire extinguisher out of your toolbox (Man, what doesn't this thing have?) and quickly put out the flames. The soldering is mostly done, aside from your mistake. A little more and the cable should work.

>>14044201
Let's do it.
As soon as it's done, turn power back on and radio Dispatch.

>>14044235

roll for it. same as before.

rolled 38 = 38

>>14044251

>>14044397

Wow, same number both times.

The patch job is completed, if a bit shitty. But it will hold until a proper repair team gets here. The compys have managed to chew up the computer cable you led here and are adding pieces of it to their nests.

I'm almost tempted to step on one. Give them what for.

30 min. warning. Then I'm off for the night.

>>14044770
Sorry, got called away.

>dinos chewing again
...fuck.
Restore power and call up Dispatch.

>>14044742
No, we don't want to get a pack riled up at us while we're alone.
Sure we have a flamethrower, but it's just a can of WD-40.
Once we get back to the motor pool, we start building weapons. Fuck Administration, they didn't even put a manual emergency generator for the raptor pens; no way am I trusting my life to those assholes.

"Dispatch, I've got power up, but the fucking compies are at the wires again! I can't get them all, and the repairs won't last too long. I need a maintenance crew and a dino containment team down here."

>>14044770

You flip the breaker and the turbines start running again.

"*static* Well, you got the job done. We've got a handful of broken fences and some dinos are loose, but it's nothing we can't handle. The Visitors Center is having some minor power issues, I need you to check it out."

>>14045017

"*static* Compys are the least of our problems right now. Just elevate the damn wires out of reach."

>>14045047
Shit, we can't do that alone.
Radio Perkins, we need help for this.
"Perkins, I got power back, but the fucking compies are chewing the wires again. I need your help to get the wires up where it's safe."

>>14045064
Wait, we can duct tape the computer cable to the ceiling, that should be fine.

We can't really life the main power conduits, but we can wrap them in electrical tape, spray them with the fire extinguisher to make them taste bad, then duct tape the covers back over them so that the compys can't get at them again.
It ain't much, but we have to keep power going as long as we can until the geothermal and hydroelectric plants are able to take up the slack again.

>>14045064

"*static* God dammit. Alright, I'll be down in a sec."

You don't have to wait very long for Perkins to get down to the turbine room.

"Holy shit, there's a ton of these little chickens in here!"

>>14045093
>>14045064

Between the two of you, you manage to string a new cable from the computer and keep it off the ground. In addition, you carefully tape up the exposed section of wire and spray it with chemicals.

Alright, I'll be on tomorrow. If this thread is gone, I'll start up a new one.

>>14045104
"Like I told you man. Look at what these fuckers did to the wiring. I tell you, Dispatch and Administration might say these things are safe, but can something safe really chew through a fucking main power conduit meant for over 10,000 volts?
"I tell you man, first thing I do when my shift is over, I'm gonna go down to the workshops and make me some real flamethrowers. Maybe even order some of those tactical vests and things that some of the ex-military Security guys always wear."

Then we get to work with the suggestions here: >>14045093
