"Roger, standing by." I've heard that name before... Moon thought to himself. Enlarging the sensor screen, he pulled up the sensors and conducted a quick passive scan of the vessel before it jumped.
Spoiler:
Passive Sensor Roll. (3d6=8)
[OOC]I assume they are in broadcasting mode (since it's illegal for them not to be), which is +30.
Additionally, passive scans get:
+16 for Model-1 Sensors
-6 for being passive
+Target's SM
+4 because I've detected them before
-2 (I'll assume I'm scanning them from their rear arc, in which case their knife-shape gives me a -2
- Range Modifier.
My Elec. Op (Sensors) skill is 14, so I'm reasonably confident I got a "detection and identification" (success by 5 or more), which should allow me to pull up the ship's hull class, dtons, and stats for a (factory original) version of the ship, provided someone in the Terran Merchant Marine has encountered a ship of this class before. Additionally, I'd think since it gives me an image, that visible things such as turrets should be detectable. Since it's completely passive, they should have no way of knowing I've done it.[/OOC]
The transmitter cut through. "Hiawatha, this is Ember Traffic. You are cleared outbound for Prometheus. Enjoy your vacation, we'll be keeping hell frozen over here till you return. Squawk 0000."
"Roger, the Ember Traffic. We'll bring some ginseng tea to warm you up next time. It's good for the man. Hiawatha squawking all zeros." He killed the channel. "Set Condition Tango throughout the ship, we've got a week to think about it now, Doctor." |
SENSOR DATA
*The sensor data from the
Saeilim Varitsa reveal that it is a non-standard configuration of an Empress Marava-Class 200dT Vilani Far Trader. [When I posted "Fat Trader" before, I was mistaken.]
*For stats of a factory original (which this clearly is
not), see GT:135.
*Both of the turrets on the ship are equipped with two armaments each, one missile launcher and one sandcaster, but one turret, the ventral one, is currently filled to capacity with cargo, as is the hold. The dorsally-mounted turret appears functional, and is currently manned.
*There are 20 life signatures on board, but 10 of these are identifiable as being in cold-sleep at present.
