Thibi takes the alterations: She will assume Hua is above reproach, and will ignore the buddy rule for Hua.
Thibi apologizes for bumping into Daymar, insisting that it was her fault.

Now, if Hua sent the “schedule change” note, she should have been the person that was caught and then released. So, she must have a new buddy…. Or better said, a watcher. And who knows... Perhaps there are more guys behind her...

Is this directed at Daymar? it might be a good idea to pass this information on to him.

As these thoughts cross her mind, Pacifica wonders about the plan... The other day they mentioned the possibility of flushing oxygen away, how easy is that? And how easily can you bolt the door?

Soldier or spacer would be more appropriate, but you've already rolled well, and your conversation with your mess table would have already brought this up.
Every compartment door or hatch can be sealed. This is done with a large and sturdy lever on the door. Both sides have the lever. it takes one second to seal the door with the lever, two seconds if you fail your DX roll. The other side can open up the lever, of course, but once in place there is a certain resistance to moving it, and its easier to win a lever wrestle with a dread stormer than an actual wrestling match. Officers, security, and some noncomissioned officers have access to padlocks you can put on these levers.
These sealing doors are also on the hydrogen brick compartments.
Altering the gasses in a compartment is a simple spacer roll. You need a source of gas*, access to the controls, and enough time for the gas to exchange in the way you want it, which can take a minute or so. Sucking out the oxygen is hard, but denying any more is easy.
* pipes for such things run throughout the ship. There is usually one in each compartment, along with hoses stored elsewhere to transfer the gasses.
Hua and Pacifica (the girls) can now have their meeting on deck 5, once they make the rolls to get there. (middle of the night for Hua, off hours for pacifica)
