Well, Gunny Seb, you didn’t quite know what you were stepping into
when you decided to invite Empress Teresa to be your partner at your
dance. But! As every good Gyrene knows (and it should be taught from
kindergarten on), “Improvise! Adapt! Overcome! OOAH!”
Sometimes, life is like a snowstorm. To make progress, all you can do is lower your
head, hunch your shoulders, and just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

They will adapt I’m sure they’re going from hired mercenaries/pirates
to a strong self-dependent race in short order. The core systems not
only losing their trading base but the cheap cannon fodder/indentured
servants is no longer going to be available so they will have to fight
by themselves I don’t see the coming war to last long much less being
one-sided
only problem i see.. when you take your toys an go,,. the long standing
bully has a nasty tendency of a scorched earth policy.. “IF i can’t
have it, no one SHALL!!” IE: IRL, the nerd shut down the bullies
operation,, so after, the bully beat the kid so bad that he had brain
damage,, bully got sent to juvie ,, an said “it was totally worth it.”
Keep in mind a smallish freight cruiser with 4 fighters took out 5 ships of the core with one shot and they are planning
of arming the dogs with the same weapons the core will send more of the same it might get dicey but I am sure the first
wave will get taken out and the dogs will gain still more ships lol.
I do get the bully reference I had to deal with them as well until I beefed up and knocked out the worst of them with one
punch but then they would gang up etc.. Just made me madder and a better fighter lol. I did almost get expelled when
I put the JV star in the hospital with 2 cracked ribs, a dislocated jar, and a broken wrist… didn’t know I was that strong til then…
Gunny’s little party is getting quite the upgrade! And a business opportunity
for his brewing efforts. Almost like the Empress cannot stand to see someone
letting their potential slide :}
King Rexx is getting an enviable “problem”? More than enough work to keep all
his people busy! Though all that new infrastructure will be seen as a target
by the less scrupulous of the Core. ((mmm, that tried to imply there are some
with scruples in the Core?))
I suspect that TANSTASFL may be getting a Royal Medieval makeover
for the event…
It occurred to me that the Androids would be well suited for
microgravity vacuum work, but they’d still need spacesuits to at
least manage heat, although they’d probably be able to handle longer
exposure, and MIGHT be able to recycle some of their excess heat as
power for a recharge during work.
Only reason they would need oxygen would be for spoken communication
and a simple radio mod would fix that in short order all they would
need is temperature control suit with a battery reserve and they
could stay out for far longer than any other life-form. Heat loss
wouldn’t be a problem it’s depending if they were in the sunlight or
shade a hard vacuum doesn’t dissipate heat well and in the shade it
can quickly drop to -240 while in the sun light it can climb to 180
in minutes. Humanoid androids are designed to mimic humans so the
one’s they just rescued would need mods for that kind of service. A
basic humanoid shape with the design with space walks in mind would
be simpler and the AI’s would be safer from the dangers. Just
imagine having a “human” body and a space walk body the AI’s could
easily switch to depending on their duties!
Actually, not so much oxygen, as an atmosphere. Their construction,
as far as PC has stated, requires airflow as part of their cooling
and heat distribution systems… If anything, an atmosphere of pure
nitrogen, would likely work best for the androids as it would minimize
oxidation, prevent mold and mildew build up, (likely a real problem
for their joints an servos) and should prevent most fire risks, other
than electrical or metal reactions, thus reducing both wear and tear
and minimizing maintenance requirements. Besides, there’s likely to
be many components that would not react well to vacuum and runaway
thermal overheats that could be resolved by simple airflow…
FWIW – Gunny is using An Erlenmeyer flask for his coffee.
Loved them in the lab –
so cool when mixing liquids, magnet driven or not –
due to near impossiblity of spilling . . .
but DO NOT Drop it!

Wow! Things are moving rapidly for King Rexx and the Dogs
now that he’s agreed to become part of the Wolf Empire.
“Rexx be nimble, Rexx be quick…..”

Yep. Uphill. Both ways.
