I'll check to see if there are any warheads rigged to detonate. Then I'll think about where the missing warhead could be.

I can't figure it out. I'll recall most of the guards from the lower missiles area up here (i.e. all but two), then have the guards shuttle the captured missiles crew down to the 19th floor, and seal them up near the other captured crew.

3d6 <= 15
4 + 3 + 2 = 9 ... success

Fast-talk
3d6 <= 13
3 + 2 + 6 = 11 ... success

Since this is a more pressing matter, it should stop their discussion and open an opportunity to execute “the pincer”.

Pacifica yells out her warning a good 10 seconds before the men are due to show up. It only slows Tutuna down for a second.


"Grab him!"


There is shooting inside of the compartment.



The "dreadstormers" fire back and forth at each other, without anyone scoring a hit. The men in the compartment run out of the back door, not joining in the fight.

Hua sets about sealing all of the prisoners in compartments on the 19th floor.


Lets go down the status of the sections:
  • Missiles has been taken
  • The command centers are captured
  • Power has been taken
  • Life support is captured and held by Vibibu
  • The security quarters are captured. Morale, who sit just below them have not been captured.
  • The officer quarters are mostly empty and being diverted by Vinobi
  • Lasers is being kept quiet by Jokuchi
  • The manuever engine is being kept quiet by Jivithi
  • Shields is not an immediate risk but is not taken.
  • The transportation section has not been captured
  • The people in the Warp core (the most active area on the ship over the last week) are presumably leaderless, but aware of the fighting.

Hey, this gives me an idea! I'll have the life support crew corralled up (or is it down?) to Deck 19, along with Vibibu. Then I can stick Vibibu & Bujithi into the same cell, and see if there's any actionable intelligence generated. At the very least the freed up security from life support could help with the next target.

Assuming everyone's still busy after I move the life support personnel to deck 19, I guess I'll head on to the morale section next. I'll try to slip into the quarters to take them from behind. The guards should breach the morale quarters a minute after I slip in.

Daymar will try Suggestion on him, ordering him to drop the screwdriver and lay down on the ground with his hands behind his head.

[1107] 22-08-11 01:04:21 CEST

Suggestion

3d6 <= 16
3 + 4 + 2 = 9 ... success (this includes absorbing -1 of range penalties from high skill, anything more will reduce his margin of success).

You can see a livid anger on his face as he obeys. He knows what you're doing to him, and he doesn't like it, but he has no choice.

It will take a short while for Vibibu to get the information ... but Hua goes ahead and starts the process.

Daymar should be available to help with that if you wish.



As Hua moves through the ship, she can tell that word of the fighting has spread. The normally busy "downtown" of the ship has been evacuated, and she runs into a compartment door that has been locked from the other side... seemingly randomly. People are moving through the halls with distrusting eyes, and at a hurried pace.

Pacifica makes us of her sense of perception to look for enemies (and Zybo) without exposing herself; she takes cover and readies her gun.

Observation (sense of perception):
3d6 <= 14
1 + 3 + 5 = 9 ... success.

I will decide what to do after understanding the enemy positions.

Well, I'll let him know. If he comes, that's great, if he doesn't, then he probably found something more immediate to handle.

So pick that door or reroute, yeah?
I'll try to pick the door, unless it's sealed like the door from the missiles section.

I wonder if we ought to just start arresting everyone in the hallways regardless of cause. Maybe if there's no one in the morale section we ought to do that instead.

There are two people prone and breathing but not moving. One of them is draped over what you presume is the bomb. You think that one's Zybo.

Its sealed like the door from the missiles section. Almost no one has keys, but everyone has access to the levers.

Well now... I'm going to go looking for a crowbar with extra time then. I'm in no hurry to get to the morale area, and getting something I can reuse to deal with this door sealing issue is probably the best way forward.
