Lexon Reed:
The fuel line repair crew is in limbo (I think).
What's the plan on fixing the fuel line? I know we will be fixing it, but what's the priorities? Do we start the repaired now, or wait until the rest of the group rejoins us? Who makes that call?
We're not really in limbo - we made rolls to see whether we could repair the fuel line, and the duration was in hours, and the same will be for the refuelling process. Time to investigate the reactor and other crew will be measured in minutes so it makes sense that the characters doing that take precedence over us.
Harry McStubbins:
We repair it now and refuel so we can leave when they get here.
That is the correct call. We don't wait, we repair the fuel line and begin refuelling the shuttle as soon as possible. I don't think the other team will be too long and the sooner we're ready to leave this extraction platform the better.
I know that we don't really have a team leader, but Tanja has sort of unofficially adopted the role of spokesperson for the Katerina crew, and that is something that she would want to happen. It makes sense to start the process. We can always stop if needed and continue later, but with a time limit due to radiation, deteriorating hull integrity of the platform and limited life support in our suits, the sooner we're ready to leave the better.
If the computer system realises what we're doing and reacts by retasking a droid or two to stop us, then we'll see that coming (We have Olyx to thank for keeping an eye on the droid we've spotted so far) and can always call for reinforcements...
