I'll add to that that our 2 Tech friends are currently elbows deep in a load lifter droid.
Jonny the Britt is the assistant to Marq and most likely somewhere on this boat, although I think that character is on hiatus.
Marq has a Discipline of APP and a Cool of AAAP for opposed social checks.
Ok so we techs aren't with the scouts right?
Not right now. You are currently in the Plant workshop, the Human Manager has left to check up on some things in the refinery. In front of you is a Droid Load Lifter who you have discovered is not utilising the entirety of its sub systems for some unknown reason.
these are your options to investigate further:
To further investigate you need to make a Daunting Computers check with 2 upgrades and a Setback to fully identify this oddity.
If you would like you can attempt a number of things to reduce the difficulty, but the longer this takes the more chance of getting in trouble.
- A Hard Mechanics check first as you modify some wiring and bypass certain components to isolate the brain for deep analysis. Successfully completing the Mechanics check will reduce the difficulty of the Computers check by 1 to Hard.
- A Hard Knowledge Education check, with 2 setback due to limited access to information, may shed some light on the situation and downgrade the difficulty of the Computers check (change 1 red to a purple).
Keep in mind your supposed to just be putting this thing back together, so if the manager comes back he could be a little grumpy that its taking you so long, nothing like a little time pressure 
I can do Mech check and the Edu one in a pich but EMC might be better fitted for it.
Arctanaar hasn't been active for a while (10 days by the looks) so in the interest of keeping the story going ill reduce the difficulty of all 3 of those checks by 1, so:

Would my ranks in Speaks Binary apply?
Yep sure do.
3 success 4 adv. 1 triunph on that mechanics check. For the triunph, can I downgrade the difficulty of the Computers check.
Advantage will be used to upgrade my next check once and add another boost.

Edited by GMRenAll good stuff.
So GMRen that Computers check to do the final analysis is going to be an Average check Upgraded once and with a Setback. So far the work has taken nearly 2 hrs, this next step could take at least another 1. Advantage can reduce that time, the Triumph could be used to take 30 minutes off. But I'll leave it up to you. Once you make the check we can post some descriptions in the IC of how this all plays out.
On a side note there is a way to copy the code from Orokos. Just below the table of the results there is s line that says:
Copyb: Link BBcode
If you tap on the bbcode text it reveals a small text box with gobbledygook in it, if you copy all that text and past it directly into this forum you get this:
: 3eP+3eD+4eB 2 successes, 1 advantage
If you include things like campaign name, character name and reason for rolling it looks like this:
Perception of PC actions: 2eA+1eP+3eD+1eS 1 success, 2 threat, 1 Triumph

Oh yeah, I completely missed that! Alright I'll get a description out shortly.
As for those on the Fishing trip what is your approach to collecting bait?
I think we can make a stop so GMRen can catch up a few scenes, I don't mind spectating a few messages.
Oh he will catch up with you guys, but for now the party is split and things are happening simultaneously. Im dropping you guys a few leads etc to make use of later on... Or right now. At some point your going to start being a real headache to these Humans but I have no idea when, I'm happy to leave that up to you.
It depends how the eggs are laid. Are they in the caves? in the water? Both?
These are underwater caves and the eggs are inside them. The opening of each cave is a couple of meters wide, but that's all you can see for now.
Above the water is the vehicle you came here on, to the top right is the reef. The main image shows the drop off, an underwater cliff. At the base of the cliff is sandy ocean floor. The caves are in the cliff face going back in under the reef.
Survival still Average? Still Setback from pilot? if i'll be in the water, the Difficulty will be the same? would I know if there will Setback for vision?

Jek Jek pushes gently the two young Gungan... Ushering them in, and then gives a last glance at the waters knowingly... and jumps into the water with his face towards the rest of the crew, giving them a salute with my tongue out, defiantly...
Ok so in the water if you want to search those underwater caves for bait you can make one of the following:
Average Survival or Perception with 2 setback for the dark of the caves
Hard Knowledge Xenology
I am sorry that I did not resume my participation in the game as soon as I could. I will be reading what happened after I became busy. I am not too late, am I?
Am I understanding the current situation correctly: two of us went fishing, while EMC-313 is in the same location he was a couple of weeks of RL time ago, with Teles, and Teles has found a secondary brain in the loader we were examining?
