OOC: Fair enough.

Daymar asks the Sargent, "Are there any of your men we should be concerned about? I know it's a very stressful situation."

If you can push the door shut, yes.

Daymar responds, "Both, I guess, although I was thinking about how they're handling the pressure of the situation."

While conversing with Sargent Daymar is trying to assess whether the Mental Surgery took or not.

Does it matter if 3 people pull the door after I close it? How much time would it take to lock it?

I'm trying to picture the place, how far is it from the other door? Are they separate rooms? Do both doors lead to a place like the rendezvous room (no other entrances/exits)?

Just one?


There is a lot of zip-tying.

Next I'll case the other mess. I imagine they have the same idea as this one did with people keeping eyes on the doors. If so, I'll try to get the guards to breach from every door at the same time.
The next mess and associated quarters only have about twenty people in them, who are either sleeping or sitting on top of mess tables whispering nervously. The doors have been left wide open.

He doesn't think it took: the sargent should have reacted to his new allegiance. the other Possibility the sergant is trying to ferret out if everyone else in the conversation is a dreadstormer.

The door can be quickly pushed and locked... though there is a person over the threshold. It can only be locked from the outside. The door swings outward, not inward. Locking is a simple lever, but you've got to get the door flush first.

They can push with their full strength until the door is locked.

Theses are the little 10 by 10 rooms to hold hydrogen cells that are all over the ship, of course. They are immediately across the hall from each other. There are a number of entrances and exits from the compartment they lead into, going up, down, towards the front of the ship, and going port into some living quarters. This is on deck 14, block C, on the starboard side of the ship (the bottom of the page)

Well these guys shouldn't be too hard to deal with; I'll go tell the guards to come storm in two minutes after I leave them. I should be able to get back to the quarters before the noise of the guards alerts the quarters.

I'll wait for the quarters to be alerted, and then I'll fire on the first person who tries something, like leave, wake the other crew, goes for a weapon, etc. And then I'll demand their surrender. If they react in some kind of peaceable way (they immediately surrender, they ask who the guards are, not move, etc.), then there's no need to shoot them.

Daymar doesn't think it took, he's going to try again, making another attempt as they continue their conversation.

The sergeant evades being touched, citing military protocol and moving somewhat, and suggests that he bring in the other NCOs.



Saviore Faire roll by sergant... its a pretty good roll: 7 vs a skill of 13, for a success by 6. You can either beat his roll, or blatantly break protocol.

They do in fact, just sit there and surrender. They seem to be expecting you. The ones giving the most trouble are in bed and trying to ignore it all.
