The largest and quickest movements of the core are over, so large movement sabotage won't work, and the parts aren't moving yet, but they are exposed, and some of them are delicate. The mechanic will try to scratch some of the more sensitive parts with a screwdriver, requiring the parts to be painstakingly repaired.


Daymar is not around to see how things fail

(3) You could break a deal with one of the prisoners and turn him into an infiltrate or use him as bait. I could help you checking the profiles and pick the most suitable crewman.
"Infiltration..." Zybo muses... "Your ideas all seem to rely on the dreadstormers making contact with their allies. So far, it seems that they avoid doing that. How could we make contact happen?"

Confuse would work. Knocking that out requires Per-based freight handling at -2 to pick out the correct time. I also need to know your range, and you need to make the roll: you get -1 to skill per yard away you are.
