Daymar is going to move towards the door where the guards are taking fire, he's trying to get eyes on the person(s) firing to use Suggestion to shut him/her/they down.

Sure!
Observation/Perception
3d6 <= 14
3 + 5 + 1 = 9 ... success.

And if needed I also roll for acting and fast-talk:

(She does some acting to improve her fast-talk, remember she is prepared for this)

Pacifica (acting)
3d6 <= 15
4 + 6 + 4 = 14 ... success

Pacifica (fast-talk) LUCK 1
3d6 <= 13
3 + 2 + 6 = 11 ... success

Pacifica spots that it is indeed Vinobi, and he's armed with a laser pistol.

What does Pacifica say? The story rehearsed earlier?

Up and over and through the fore hatch on C2. Hopefully nobody spots the opening hatch.

Daymar runs to take cover and get a good view of the action: He seemingly picks the wrong angle. The guards shooting from the door call out "We have enemy contact!"

Sargent Pookivo shouts: "battle readiness! secure the hatches! B squad forward along the full width of the ship"

He looks at the dreadstormers, seemingly hoping for orders.

Hua has climbed up a ladder into the B2 compartment on deck five. She runs through the missile fuel in that area, near four missile repair personnel who haven't seen her yet but are somewhat curious about the sounds below and opening hatch.

If I'm still in the room when he's looking for orders, I'll say: "Just try to hold them off until I start shooting at them from behind."

I'll try to daze the lot of them before continuing on.

Daymar calls out, "How many?" and tries to analyze the situation to provide Pookivo his orders.

Ok, that's one attack maneuver per target, and -1 per yard in a quick contest between your skill and their .. will, I think.



as the first three go down, they're all bewildered. The last one seems to get his wits about him when the stun comes for him. He responds by running for the fore port door.

"At least two!"


Daymar thinks this is a small group, probably scouts. They will need someway to report back to really be dangerous. The ship is full of natural chokepoints, which means forcing individual doors is hard... though it is possible to go around. Controlling all surfaces of a compartment allows you to mess with its atmosphere and pen people in, and hatch doors can be locked from either side (and then unlocked only from their side).



Does that help?

HT actually, and I forgot a stealth roll because I need touch.

Minimal difference probably. I'll fire at the fleeing one twice:

So has Hua neutralized them all?

The runner evades one shot, but the other one brings him down.



Hua has neutralized four missile technicians. The "scouts" who were shooting on deck 6 are still up and moving... though they haven't shot again.

"We need to flush them out, if I can get eyes on one or more, then I can probably 'persuade' them to stop. Can we flank them?"
