*weirdly, navigation, transport, and motive are the sections hardest hit by that emergency. And Daymar and Pacifica have jobs that partially insulate you because you're not doing the same thing as the bulk of your second

Hm... Lots of stuff got knocked over I guess? Time to handle it back to place.

So after work it's time to head off to the meeting tonight? I'll probably want to:
1) Recover some sleep
2) Maybe swap the dud pills into Daymar's new mess.
Then next sleep cycle:
1) Make the spiked pills
2) Swap the dud pills (if not done)
3) Swap the spiked pills to a motive mess (not Daymar's if time permits)

More like lots of fuel needs to be moved around for the unexpected jump, a fair amount of heavy gear needs to be moved out of storage and back, and Transportation gets called in for their expertise in vehicles when you need to get several 20 ton spinning disks realigned and seated on new ball bearings.

So after work ....

lets make to after work... I'll try to remember this!

Daymar looks around the mess, taking in the atmosphere of the room. "Maybe this isn't the best time, but let me go talk to her." Day go over to Chiki, placing a hand on her arm or hand wherever there is exposed skin. "Excuse me, you're Chiki, right? Lieutenant Nichapu asked me to pass on his compliments for your hard work, and that he wants to meet with you."

luck is every 30 posts. Go ahead and use it.

Zybo nods "I'll talk it over with Vinobi when I get the chance. Thank you."


(I'm not quite sure what the theory is... could you explain in your next post?)


How much sleep catching up is she willing to give up to try and crack the Nejora's hard outer shell?

Sure!

Pacifica exposes she is concerned about the officers in command. She thinks there could be more people supporting LA QUINTA at privileged positions. She tells Zybo she’s been working with his colleagues to spot Dread Stormers since they burned the provisions and to support her hypothesis, she stresses the fact that the rumors in the ship have been anecdotic of the mishaps on board, as if someone was actually ventilating the crew’s pressing matters.

For starters, she has the feeling they should be careful with the officers involved in the “hyperdrive mess” investigation, and suggests surveilling a couple of them (those whose positions won’t compromise the Dread-Stormer team plans).

Convincing Zybo of her hypothesis, the spotlights will point to the (subverted) officers and Vinobi (a subverted himself) might have to reconsider things.

Well, the idea is doing both catching sleep and talking to Nejora. I guess there's time for the two things, provided Pacifica invested the shift's downtime in doing so and that Nejora's been already cracked.

Chiki fails her roll. She looks at Daymar, then furrows her brow. "Thank You." She looks like she wants to say something, then thinks better of it.

Zybo: "If they've penetrated that deep into the command structure, that would indicate a controlling telepath. Why wouldn't they have taken the ship over by now? Unless they got the officers before they boarded... that would very difficult though. It could also be that they got a few members of security, rather than all those officers... The hyperdrive mess as a false flag operation... that bears some thinking about..."

I don't know where you got the idea this particular shift would have downtime. Everyone in navigation is working their tails off and stressed. I thought I made that clear.

Daymar nods to Chiki, and then returns to Pothi to share the bad news that "now isn't such a good time". "I guess you were right, everyone's too busy and worried to be thinking of that kind of thing. We'd better get on-shift."

The next item on Day's agenda is to connect with Nijothu and his buddy. Which shift is he on, and where would be able to meet them?

Hey there Erick!
How much off-hours do we have? I think it is more than 3 hours.

To clear your questions, the situation might be stressful but downtime is a natural thing, it doesn’t mean work stops; in addition, she may talk and work to clear things up as operations pace up.

Pacifica can talk to Nejora on their way to work, while the computer boots, as they sit on the station, as they fetch the data or while their data is approved, loaded in the system, etc.

There is “daily life downtime” as well. She can talk to Nejora as they shower, on their way to lunch, as they change clothes and so on. It’s been part of Pacifica’s character since her inception; put together, all these bits are meaningful time-wise.

Its six hours after work, if you count meals, showering, and those other times.

Sure, but that doesn't mean that you'll get people to be talkative during those times. Thats a personality thing. If you want to chat away at Nejora during all of those times... sure. But don't expect that roll to be without penalty. Or to even be effective.

So to ask again: how much extra time will be spent sleeping.
