Unless of course the doors are locked. Then I guess I'll have them back me up while I unlock the door.

Does she do that before or after visiting deck 6? and how exactly will she get the noise to where ever on the ship she is?

The idea was having the noisemakers ahead in the corridors, with one person making watch outside, close to the door. The (hidden) noisemakers were intended to compliment the per roll of the guard. The noisemakers might not work, but the person doing watch is going to be there anyway.

(This happens before reaching deck 6).

Regardless of that part, the allies in the deck are already on alert.

"The Door!" Someone shouts.

Pacifica scans the place using Vibration Sense (she checks for the number of people in there, weapons, and the bomb’s location… if any). She will share this information with the group and makes sure the people with her aren´t identified as traitors. Then, she tells her group that if Zybo is with enemies they will try to get closer acting as allies (explaining that Zybo could help them).

Regarding this situation, she handles things by the book (savoir-faire military) to address the situation in accordance with the procedures. So, if it is more appropriate for an officer (e.g., Vinobi) to talk, she lets the officer talk…

“Commander Zybo, are you here? Are you safe?”

If Zybo is with them, Pacifica will talk to him (wearing her Jacket, and putting her gun away). Then she will do some acting to compliment her fast-talking.

If Zybo is not there, she will keep her security crew jacket/gun and help the situation to develop (i.e., she will exchange more words with them, and so on).

OOC: Let’s see what happens next, to decide the further actions.

Vibration Sense (Observation)
3d6 <= 14
2 + 3 + 1 = 6 ... success

SF Military
3d6 <= 14
1 + 3 + 2 = 6 ... success

Acting
3d6 <= 15
1 + 3 + 5 = 9 ... success

Fast-talk
3d6 <= 13+1 (acting)
6 + 4 + 4 = 14 ... success

The doors are locked, not just shut...



Its tricky to unlock a hatch sealed from the other side, but Hua has studied how to do it. She'll need proper tools though.. the roll isn't good enough to open the door with no tools or a random bit of metal... she'll need a sturdy metal bar of some sort and a drill...

ok, so its to protect the command center on deck 9. That wasn't clear.

She has merely seconds to do this: there are six people in the room, one of which is standing on something... maybe the bomb, which would put it in the middle of the compartment. She can't tell much else through the narrow door.


She has only seconds to communicate her plan: "Attack unless I identify someone!"

“Commander Zybo, are you here? Are you safe?”

"Pacifica? Is that you?"


Pacfica responds affirmatively.



Commander Zybo orders his men to stand down. "She's with us. Come in Pacifica."


A women contradicts his orders. "Hold that. What if she's been compromised?"

So there must be someone inside then.

Would the tool kit I was given way earlier work? If so, I'll go fetch the tool kit and go open the door. If not, I'll leave the guards to surround warhead storage and go see how the other guards are doing.

Pacifica speaks, softly:

It is OK, I am good, I am with you! Are you alright? Enemy forces are coming this way. They are using the prisoners to seize life support.

She knows that Zybo trusts her words, after all, she works for him. She is also implying that the enemy forces are taking the deck that would keep “everybody” safe after the explosion. She creates this situation to have him convince the woman about Pacifica's intentions and to buy time to quickly check her team once more (so she whispers):

Could be Tutuna, raise your hand if you fought against their forces.

Daymar releases the officer from Suggestion and then tries Mental Surgery.

heh, the tool kit is actually really close by. Hua runs and quickly grabs it.

Female Voice: "Quiet! We have not vetted their loyalty."
Zybo: "Stay Outside Pacifica. we have something to work out."

You've got 14 men, and all but four of them raise their hands.

You've just started securing the reactor: this is the first set of rooms. The reactor stretch from deck four to deck 17. You caught 20 people in this room, and there should be 60 spread out among all of the decks. This is the control area though, and the easiest place to sabotage from.

Daymar releases the officer from Suggestion and then tries Mental Surgery.

He thinks it worked.

OK, let's try that tool kit. If I'm short the bar, I'll go looking to see if there's a sturdy bar lying around somewhere.

Well, no bar, but maybe now?

Are you willing to use a riffle barrel? It WILL get damaged.

...

Sure, I could still use it as material for a trap, and I have a pistol to work with. Heck, if I can find the time I could probably swap it for one of the useless rifles barrels later.
