Is there any place a kit could be hidden in their meeting place?

Yes, the ship is lousy with hydrogen brick containers, emergency supply stores, and all sorts of nooks and crannies to hide things in.

Day has lots to do now. At lunch, he will use Suggestion to cause one of the cook's replenishing a warming drawer with food to spill it on the floor, and use the distraction for his now-familiar Filch/Holdout routine. Does the use of a psi-power count as a complimentary skill (GURPS Action 2, p. 5) giving a bonus for the other skills used?

Suggestion to cook to spill food on floor
3d6 <= 16
5 + 4 + 5 = 14 ... success

Filch to remove contaminated food from table
3d6 <= 13
6 + 5 + 6 = 17 ... failure

Use Luck to re-roll Filch twice
3d6 <= 13
1: 2 + 5 + 2 = 9 ... success
2: 6 + 2 + 2 = 10 ... success

Holdout to smuggle out contaminated food
3d6 <= 14
1 + 2 + 4 = 7 ... success

I'm going to move the food routine to a once every three-days thing for Daymar (we've demonstrated how it works). Every three day period the rolls will receive a -1 penalty.

Following lunch, Day should now have all of his powers back. He asks Pothi, "Have I ever told you about this old Belter woman I met who taught me how to read palms? After shift I can show you."

Ok, I got to see this... especially in a setting with actual reading of the future.

Later in the shift, Day will intentionally break one of the flimsier tools in his kit, and tell Pothi, "I've got to run up to stores to requisition a new tool, this one broke. Be right back!"

"wait up, I've got to come with you... Aw, you broke one of those?" Pothi will need to acompany you to requisitions anyway.
