DreadStormers [IC]

[TGLS]

I'll slip a note to them telling them to go back to the mess.

[742] 21-12-27 17:51:49 CET
Filch
3d6 <= 14
1 + 2 + 2 = 5 ... success

Then I guess we should head back near the mess too. We should be able to talk there I think.

[744] 21-12-27 17:53:53 CET
Stealth
3d6 <= 16
6 + 2 + 6 = 14 ... success
[743] 21-12-27 17:53:46 CET
photorefraction
3d6 <= 15
1 + 6 + 2 = 9 ... success

"Alright Daymar, I want you to explain our plans to the security section. I'll stay invisible near a door in case somebody tries to rush out."

Whoops, didn't think of that. I'll slip her a note too. "Lose your buddy and head down the security section below."

[745] 21-12-27 18:33:27 CET
Filch
3d6 <= 14
5 + 3 + 4 = 12 ... success

When she comes down, I'll add:
"You keep an eye from the other door. If someone's leaving I want them stopped. Anyone leaving probably has a programming problem."

Daymar looks at Hua quizzically, saying, "Remember, I'm "Nijothu" where anyone might hear, and what are our plans? We now have an entire security section on our side, but what shall we do with them?"

"Alrighty, here's how I remember it:"
"1) We stage the brig break."
"2) The escaped prisoners make their way up to the security section."
"3) We arm the escaped prisoners, ourselves, and then massacre the sleeping security section."
"4+) Split up and start hunting down the other security section and officers. Capture the crew and brainwash more of them. Hopefully the crew will surrender when they learn that their guns are probably useless."

"I think we're planning all this for this shift. Tell them the general armories have been sabotaged and ask them to sort the broken guns from the working ones. Let them know which officers are on our side. It'll be difficult to manage all of them otherwise."

"What do you think?"

"All right, this is the moment we've been planning for."

'Nijothu' briefs the security section, "With your help, we are going to take over this ship. We are going to free the prisoners, who are on our side, and have them join up with you. We then need to arm them, and then eliminate the other security that are not with us. Officers, if possible, should be captured and brought to me. Here are the list of officers that are already with us. The armoury has been sabotaged, so I need you to separate out the usable weapons. Any questions?"

[TGLS]

I keep an eye on the crowd in case anyone's not being suitably enthusiastic:

[746] 21-12-29 01:27:02 CET
Observation

3d6 <= 13
6 + 5 + 6 = 17 ... failure

Or not.

The NCO for the mess has a few questions:


"So first we free the prisoners, then we neutralize the other shifts? just confirming that order. Will you be freeing the prisoners by yourselves, or do you need our assistance? and are you freeing that cordoned off section, or just the folks in individual cells?"


"We've already sorted out the weaponry after the initial sabotage. We should be able to claim that quickly."


"Were will we be putting our prisoners?"


"How sure are you that everyone here is loyal to the republic?"

"All good questions. Having a buddy pair of security would be helpful in freeing the prisoners, perhaps you can suggest someone? Right now we're focused on those in the cells. If we capture the brig, after freeing our prisoners we can use it to keep any prisoners we capture. We are reasonably confident that all those gathered here are loyal to the republic, but not 100% certain; if you notice anyone behaving suspiciously, report them to me. Any other questions?"

[ericthered]

The NCO (Sargent Pookivo, I think you'll be seeing more of him), assigns two security to assist you, and then sends four more to grab the unsabotaged weapons, and has the rest of the mess grab their own weapons.


The atmosphere is tense.



All three dreadstormers are there.



Pookivo: "Do you want someone to alert our allied officers?"

"'Nijothu', maybe you could go to alert them, and maybe get that invitation. Getting more of the officers would be good. Most of the crew will probably surrender when they learn their guns are useless."

"I think that's a job for Pacifica, she's had more contact with them."
