The sergant nods, and starts grabbing pairs of men. Go ahead and make your rolls.

After this deck, might as well continue without disturbing the wall, then going on to the other after clearing.

Ok, give me another stealth roll for the next few decks down on the rear of the ship...

First, they will wait for 5 minutes and do some observation checks to perceive enemy movement.
Pacifica: Observation (14) 9.

She and the stealthiest crewman of her team will move first, from the direction that doesn't allow the enemy seeing them coming through the threshold.

Pacifica: Displacement (14-2) 10, Stealth (15+4) 14.

The rest will also do stealth.

Pacifica and the stealthy crewman will quietly and quickly lock one of the doors, each. (I would like to call for danger sense and exposition sense to pick the door that proves the safest to lock).

If the enemies charge, the remaining 4 crewmen will be within 3 yards of range from the doors (they get this close using stealth), 2 people pointing at each door with their guns. This distance is enough to eliminate range penalties and if somebody needs help locking a door, the crewmen could also charge and help (instead of shooting). The priority is not to shoot. But if enemies get out, then they shoot. The "gunners" are approaching from a direction that doesn't allow the doors to serve as cover for the enemies.

Yes, the part in which they charge and help.

You're telling me the "three others" opposed Pacifica's team even if they did not know about the plan. They should have beat the surprise effect, and suddenly come up with a coordinated effort.

On the other hand, Pacifica's team already prepared to face them.

The result you describe makes me think the crewmen are just staring at their teammate dealing with the burden alone; but it should not be like that, they should help, timely, timelier than the opposition is helping each other.

I duck down into the next deck, doing my best to keep out of the way while invisible.

They found out when the door tried to shut. They are not pushing back as a team: just the one guy over the threshold.

Its been a fraction of a second. You requested that fraction of a second before pacifica pushes her door shut. The only people with time to react are her and the people in physical contact with the door. Everyone else will react after pacfica's action.

Alright, thanks a lot Erick.
Pacifica rolls a 7 (using luck).

Pacifica slams the door shut, pushing the occupant back. Roll DX to close the lever quickly while keeping it shut.

Half of a shift is here, so 30 people (15 pairs). That's some good rolling so far... Daymar thinks that third of the crew is handled.

The next few decks, at least in the aft section, are the reactor, which was seized earlier, and then they go down to a command center on deck 9. Give me a perception roll.

Locking the door (DX):
3d6 <= 12
3 + 2 + 2 = 7 ... success

Pacifica makes it!

OOC: If it is safe, I would like her to help in locking the other door and signals the others to do so.

Right, and they're all brainwashed (in theory). I'll let them know not to be alarmed about the outer compartments having their atmosphere vented.

Trouble at the command center? I thought we had that secured.
