"Nah, I'd have to sharpen on of the ones in the mess first".

Pacifica eventually takes the suggestions (and the official procedures) to put together a plan to "catch a Dreadstormer". She presents said plan to her colleagues during next day’s lunch time.

She suggests that "the team" (i.e. Pacifica's lunch time group) should take the presented approach instead of "improvising". She elaborates on the value of a "support network", something that must be established among "the team". Having information and a plan will help the effectiveness of response under "unexpected situations" (or so Pacifica explains).

I think would call for a leadership roll, moreso than administration... but switching them let you succeed, even using the default. good roll.


This is a plan for dealing with a discovered dreadstormer, not a plan for revealing one... correct? And will it be specific to the mess hall, the control room, or the generic ship space (hydrogen containers)?


Also, it appears that you don't have the tactics skill, so it won't be a very well grounded plan... but do you even want one?

Acting will serve to let others think Pacifica feels sort of sick after the lunch, just in case she needs a cover for the "meeting day" with the Dread Stormers.

done.

Photorefraction 5, actually. You'll have 24 points in that and 12 in confuse. Your talent and skill will be at full strength, any alternate abilities will be at half.

Hm... Can I make an IQ roll to retroactively establish a hiding place for messages in case meeting time cannot be made? Failing that, can I get close to the meeting place at some point during my shift (hopefully before)? What are the odds someone would find any message I leave at the meeting place?

IQ? hmm... I think I'd prefer a skill roll against something like tactics, streetwise or smuggling. I suppose you can roll at IQ+craftiness -5 if you want: that seems relevant. Soldier might work, at -2.Though I wish I'd indicated a difference between zorbani soldier and dreadstormer training.


If you want another player to make the roll against their skill instead of you (not in addition to), that's acceptable
