Roger,
Trying to plant idea seeds.

Brom,
Wyatt wants Ash to get pictures of cases in different places, someone needs to give him a case. He can take the mule and zip about then. If we are putting people in the caves then I'd guess that's NOT one of the locations?

Help me flesh this out a bit.

I am at Comic Con and will have to try to find some time to respond more fully Sunday.

Lucky

Just remember no Cosplaying with the ladies other then your wife

Also Brom were you asking Wolf if he had explosives? I don't think I do maybe Ash??

You are hauling a liquid fertilizer that can become an explosive if mixed with a hydrocarbon. The cargo you are carrying when this whole mess started. I believe that is what Wyatt is referring to ...

Would Ash know how to make the explosive?

Could it be something he knows from his farm / ranch days and the fighting for his lands?

It might be reasonable due to the limited access to regular explosives due to the war and Alliance regulations.

I could have him bring it up and then start his lab to make little or big amounts.

I don`t see scientific knowledge or craft explosives on Asher`s sheet

I know it's not much but there is really not a lot for me to post on other then heading back to the Atmos plant, so forgive its shortness.

So, I'm tired...dog tired. I'm through with 2013's Salt Lake City Comic Con. I only attended one afternoon, but it was sold out, crowded, and made me really tired. I did, however, get to talk with Tracy Hickman (who was wearing a Serenity t-shirt) and gave him my business card. He said he's working on a kickstarter and needs some artists, so he was glad to receive my information. It helps that he's a good friend of my mother as well. I also dropped my card with a number of additional authors, so I may be picking up some more art contracts. All-in-all it was a lot of fun, and very productive for me.

So, mixing chemicals...wouldn't the onboard database have information available concerning mixtures, and the like? After all, I can find it on the Internet, and the onboard DB is supposed to be pretty comprehensive. Barring that, maybe one of the people like Havelock or Hood can help. Either way, we've got to figure out as it is an instrumental part of the plan. Blow up the extra troops that go to our decoy locations, and eliminate the opposition.

The onboard database might have some relevant data so you could try that. But the cortex is cut off so access to the "internet" is gone.

Hood - not likely. Can give recipe for a mean punch

Havelock - possible

Students - highly possible they know the theory behind any cool explosives.

So, what is the plan Captain?

I am anxious to get plan rolling. I think if the students are brought in to work on the explosives along with the plan you have outlined thus far, it could work. You need a case and Jessy has just given you the location of one.

I may be wrong, but I think we are waiting on the Captain at this point.

I believe his post on pg 51 detailed what he has planed. My post is based on that or did I miss something??

Yes, he laid out a plan but until the case has been retrieved, or the other one, given to someone to take places for the pictures then the plan isn't really moving forward. It just seemed that the Captain, or someone, needs to do that and I havent read that yet, unless I missed it.

Been working my tail end off on contract work. Now I look funny without a hiney.

I'm going to go ahead and make another post following up on the interaction.
