Varrik is performing in this scene, so let me know how much interaction he can have with the other events. I'm OK not stepping in much if it's scene appropriate.

Enoch hesitates. <<I have embedded tech. None of it is necessary to keep me alive, but that may hamper my performance. Have we anything to help fix that and keep my systems functioning? Are there analogues to any of my tech items, I would be appreciative. Captain has a list. Further, I'm rather tech focused, so I have no weaponry and limited combat skills appropriate to a no-tech environment.>>

Enoch is both surprised and not by the report. He was expecting some kind of commotion, but the exact type was unclear. AI selectively breeding humans was an intriguing concept, and one who's data he keenly hoped to acquire. He responds to the party <<What benefits us the most here? How can we get what we need out of this?>>

Encoh does as little as possible to draw attention to himself and doesn't make any efforts to pursue the data further. Normally, he'd be indignant at being left off of important research, but he is smart enough not to tangle with a literal mad scientist.

Enoch has grown to appreciate Samuel's medical skills, though the fact that the he's a vampire still unsettles the cyborg. "Fascinating. I have dabbled in gene manipulation myself but have unfortunately not found anything that affects the ageing process as of yet. They are notoriously difficult genes to manipulate. As for the nanotech, I'd be very curious about any nano-interactive devices you have."

"I'll go and see what I can do. For reference, what were you trying to do Samuel?" Enoch replies.

Enoch logs all of the data and keeps his mouth shut. He looks for ways to manipulate the data to prevent the world-ending mutation scheme while he works.

Enoch spends his whole rest of his downtime researching this project, including looking for places to find more information.

Previously (other versions of this game), Enoch needed programs for various computer use checks. Not sure what carries forward, so upgrading those when able/needed. Need you to tell me what I need to update/upgrade. If nothing, then if none this downtime ask.

Also, if/as able, Enoch has a program for each of his skills to automate checks when he could use the skill through Computer Use (Appraise, Computers
Engineering, Life Science, Medicine, Mysticism, Perception, Physical Sci)

Enoch replies to the summons for physicians. He also does not want to draw attention to himself and makes copies of any/all data collected or research found.

He mirrors Adrian's requests for data. "It will help us figure out what this all means. Any context is useful"

Enoch has "Free Action" Computer Use skill, so whatever you rule "Free Action" is in terms of time, then x20 for that.

Enoch wants to work on the neural pattern transfer tech. A technological memory/persona backup.

[OOC: Enoch is PL8 now, which technically should have nanotech, but it's up to you for how much knwoeldge he has on this]

1: Enoch upgrades all his computer programs (Take 20)

2: Cyberpunk 2077-style Engram Chip Development

"Be forewarned, my main offensive magic is a line of electricity or a cone of frigid air." Eustice comments on the tactical nature of his combat capabilities as they advance into the deep.

"I agree." Enoch replies curtly. "I doubt organic formal diplomacy would be needed. AI would more likely respond to pure logic, unless programmed otherwise."

Eustice is ready to enter.

Enoch shakes his head. "If you have a willing donor, I can proceed, otherwise we don't have the time to create a brain, as I lack the aging tech this world has."

Enoch relays the options, with emphasis on the clone and imprint path. Notably also one of his world seems to have likely access to given information provided.
