1. Set up a way to signal the helicopter to land on the helipad.
Have you dumbasses really never heard of lights before.
Seems to be a dronepad already. Nowhere near as well signaled as the ones back in the city, however. Voi's plan: Search through storage, if that asshole's going to give them the damn key. Otherwise, check the power station. Find some way to obtain lighting. Preferably red and yellow lighting; those were the ones that were most used for signaling any sort of flying taxis to their spots. Highly visible in the hazy parts of the lower levels of the city, and where the towers started to meet the clouds.
Surround the helipad with alternating red and yellow lights, marking it obviously for the incoming helicopter. When the lights are all ready, then it means everyone's all clear to meet the copter.
2. Help guide the helicopter to the helipad.
Don't you idiots have a comm or something?! Just-great. This would be so much easier if everything was just all connected. Some kinda transmission tower, at least?
Okay. There has to be some form of transmission, right? They have some way of doing so; it's the reason that all of them were here in the first place. Attempt to find some sort of way to communicate with the helicopter's on-board computer systems from the uplink station, using the telecom devices. The bosses were rich enough to have their own personal vehicles instead of some rent-a-ride from a corp, she noted to herself.
Anyways, once you got a connection, use that to guide the helicopter to your coordinates. If the helicopter can't recognize some simple patterns of lights, though? That's on them. Not Voi's problem. That wasn't in her programming.
3. Find a way to quickly but safely unload all the helicopter's cargo.
Hands, dumbass. We all have them.
Unload whatever's there with your hands. She's had experience carrying random shit for idle rich kids who didn't want to mess their hands up with anything vaguely heavy. Not wanting to deal with anything that destroyed their perfect lives..
Nope. That's fucking tangental. Unload the crates off the helicopter by carrying them off. Use a ramp if necessary. If you people don't have a ramp that's not her fault.
4. Find a secure place to store the cargo for future use.
...Of course you people are that fucking dense. Do I have to help another person to use the damn bathroom as well?!
There...there's a fucking storage room. Just put the cargo in there. This shouldn't be that novel of an idea, you know? That should just be taken for granted. What the fuck.
Voi rolls 4, 1, 7, and 5, and initially scores a measly 17 points... Let's hope her methods can save her luck!
Although Voi fails to find both colors, she manages to find a sparse assembly of red lights, enough to make a rough circle.
Not only are we the ones building the signal tower, the snow manages to block out radio! The helicopter takes an agonizing amount of time through the wind and snow to find the landing pad, which was already hard to see from the lack of lights.
Voi at least unloads the cargo reasonably fast. It's even easier with the ramp that helicopter has!
...Nope, the storage room is still locked, it seems. Carrying some cargo keeps you from breaking it down, too... You relegate to just leaving the supplies in the meeting room, for now.
Your straightforward thinking for signaling and unloading deserve a +2 and +1 respectively, but using radio in the harsh weather and the room previously known to be locked leave a 0 on your points, so Voi ends up with a final score of 20 points.
(I hope I'm doing this right!)
