Shinwa in his cabin sits on the floor to meditate. He draws his katana and his polishing kit, cleaning and polishing the blade as he sends his mind chases towards the void. There is too much. Center and find yourself again. The world moves. I stand at its center . orokos.com/roll/533622After his meditation, Shinwa peels off his gi and steps into his small ultrasonic shower. How long had it been since he'd been to a real bath house? Too long. He would take a water shower, but the Hida might be back there and he didn't need to set her off again. Salt and sonics would have to do... until the sonics shut down too early. He sighs. Maybe the shower is open anyway? He considers sending Kakashi to check. The image amuses. Best not. The Ronin dresses and heads out wearily. He makes his way to the Bridge and settles in a seat where he can monitor the scanners. Kiru had drawn on the memories of an Isawa computer scientist...if he still had that skill, maybe there was a chance he could use them. If nothing else, someone needed to monitor them while the others rested.

Nanashi was already in the cabin. He seemed to be on monitor dusty but he was also messing with some small gizmo. He had added an opened gi top to his previous dress.
He looks up as Shinwa enters.

Shinwa sits down in his own customary seat. "She settle down after I left?" he asks.

Nanashi shrugs. "I suggested she get a bath and she stomped off." Nanashi gives a crocodile smile. "Then got the Doji to cook dinner, Ha."

Shinwa gives a small smile but says nothing in response to that.
Changing the subject he offers, "I'd like to scan the planet to see if we can find how many of those probes there are, and see if we are still getting lifesigns from Asahina Hana. But if Tetsuko isn't in the shower I may take one first. If you have the bridge, I'll see you in a few minutes. I'll be right back."
He takes a quick peek around the corner to make sure the way is clear, and then gets his laundry and goes to take a shower...and a ritual purification. No one wants alien tentacle monster spoo anywhere near them any longer than necessary.

"Sure, I'll see what I can round up." Nanashi puts down his gizmo and begins fiddling away on the keyboard. "Just try not to break the shower while your in there. I mean, you are more accident prone then anyone I've known." The computer bleeps and pings as Nanashi stares at the screen. Trying to scan the planet.: 5d10o10k3 27

Even knowing where Hana is, it takes quite a while to find her. In the end, Nanashi only finds her because he changes his calibrations to scan for the probes. After that he begins to figure some stuff out. It is difficult however, as, due to a lack of medical bay on the ship, certain commonplace programs on most ships computers are lacking.
Admittedly they likely wouldn't be that useful through long range scanners anyway. Regardless, what is clear is that Hana should be dead based on her core body temperature, and yet she does have a heart beat. Just how cold she is compared to the ice around her is difficult to determine, and her heart rate is all but impossible to determine, although is likely in beats per day. BUT she is alive.
The probes however are far easier to spot. They don't cover the planet, like one would expect, but instead form a ring around Hana's icy prison. They are still monitoring the situation, however although in a far more passive state, likely trying to conserve power. There is a hole in the array according to the scans, probably two probes wide. The first is clearly the one that was stolen, but the second is harder to explain. Perhaps it didn't deploy properly...or it landed in a Crevasse?

Nanashi looks around to see if anyone is around. Seeing that he is by himself, Nanashi attempts to Hack into one of the probes. Trying to see if he can find more info about them, their purposes and their origins. Trying to Hack the Probes: 5d10o10k3 32

Some time later, Shinwa emerges from the showers after about fifteen minutes, changed and carrying a now cleaned and dried set of clothing, though his hair is still damp. As he reaches passes the bridge, he sees Nanashi working away hard at the scanners. "You look like you have the scanners handled...and...I think the computers and I will probably be at odds if I tried to challenge them this afternoon. I need to go check on the Camel anyway. I will be back in a bit to check on the results of your scans."

Shinwa heads down the hallway to his room to put away his things. He takes up his katana and slides it into his obi, then heads towards the Portside cargo bay where he can check on the Camel...and maybe sneak in a few kata on the side. And, perhaps, see what the Hida is up to and hope that she is cooling down. [OOC: For Shinwa, these events continue here: thetabletopreview.proboards.com/thread/118/d2-side-relax]

Nanashi certainly gets something very interesting out of this. The baseline code of the probe is clearly a Great Clan code, probably one available on the commercial market. Which clan in particular was harder to tell...probably not the Dragon though, given his knowledge of their coding language. The code above it, designed to run the actual probe, that however was many things. It was bad code. Random and inconsistent tagging and use of Named Parameter, sections of code that did literally nothing, or clearly were designed for different hardware. There a Fax Machine....here a piece of Industrial coding, and over their looked like some code written by a Hiemin for harvesting rice. And worst of all, once he thought he had found the actual useful information he found it changed programming language 3 times in the code...which was impossible unless over two thirds of the code was fake. And one of the coding languages seemed to be composed entirely of orangutan noises. It even had a section that defined tags as other Named Parameter....that was scattered in the previous code at random. The probes were probably easy to break not due to weak hardware, but due to the fact its being pushed to the limit doing stupid, pointless and redundant stuff. However it did have a user interface and after a bit of wrangling with the probe, Nanashi manages to bring it up. The screen is unstable, the probe seeming having popups built into it intentionally, (That amazingly work...the probe is clearly connected to the Internet in its active state) but as he clears the screen and once again closed (For the fourth time) a window advertising 'Kachiko's Kinky Kemari,' he uncovered what its purpose was. It was almost sad. Under all that mess was a simple program. Record Sounds, identity Mons, and transmit recorded data to command. Where command was....well their was 10 different references to it in the original code he looked into initially. And at least two different times here he saw 'Central Command' defined as some other Named Parameter.... He could certainly get through this, he got this far. But the question is....does Nanashi want to keep going into the depth of coding hell.

Oh Shiny Tomato! What is this garbage? It's almost an insult to the machine. Nanashi thought to himself. "Alright, no more Monkey Buisness. They want to play? Let's play!" Nanashi taps the Random button on his music player. This kicks on. How appropriate.
Nanashi finds himself unconsciously repeating "That's what I'm counting on." As he begins to type as fast as he can. Pushing pop ups and garbage code out of the way. "You can't hide from me. Now come out and face me." Time to bring out the big shovels - VP spent: 6d10o10k4 30Anyone that walks in will just see the Dragon Samurai clicking away furiously while grumbling under his breath and every so often singing along with a line of the song.

[OOC: Shinwa returns from this thread here: thetabletopreview.proboards.com/thread/118/d2-side-relax?page=1&scrollTo=3181]Shinwa has dropped off his sword carefully on his sword stand in his quarters and seems much more calm and at peace than last time he swung by to check on Nanashi. He coughs politely when he sees Nanashi embroiled in some sort of mad calligraphy contest verses the computer to notify the Dragon of his presence. "Were you able to find the other probes, Nanashi-san? And Asahina Hana? Does she live?"

After an hour of digging through the code, trying to escape popups, and at least twice seeing trails of viruses invade The Warren's computer system, stopped only by quickly disconnecting and having to start everything again, Nanashi suddenly realizes its been staring him right in the face. LITERALLY right in the face.
The popup for Kachiko's Kinky Kemari wasn't just a popup. It was a live connection. He honestly knew that that as it always tried to stream an webcam stream of the 'kinky kemari' before he closed the window. But after catting through all the code it wasn't a one way link. Just as the probe was being sent the data for the ad, the probe was sending data back.
As the popup loaded another time Nanashi had a choice to make...he could let the connection be established and almost certainly guarantee a trace.
Or he could warn the captain and get the ship the hell out of there.
Regardless, he had a world. This signal was boucing off a Gaisha run luxury Satellite orbiting the World of Dreams...and probably a business, given the consistent popup name. The question was...how greedy did he want to be.

Nanashi gives the screen a crocodile grin. This was about to turn very interesting.
Nanashi jacks out. Totally resetting the system.
Ha! I win.
Nanashi thinks to himself. There is greedy and then there is just plane stupid.
Probably a good idea to get the Jigoku out of here.
Nanashi finally notices Shinwa enter mid laugh. It's a horse laugh not to dissimilar to a goat bleating in baritone.
"Shinwa, let the Captain know. We have a destination. " He says with an almost wicked smile. "We are going to a Scorpion Gaisha house." He says before breaking into anther fit of laughter.
Just as Shinwa is about to leave, Nanashi turns and says offhandedly. "Oh, we should probably do a total system wipe and reset just make sure no viruses snuck passed me. I'll get started on that." Nanashi begins to type away, seeing if he can scrub the inside of the computer with a metaphorical steel wool.
