Make a stealth roll to get out of your living quarters, and another to make it into security quarters.


Once in the quarters, How will you be accessing the weapons lockers to disable the weapons?


OOC: you may continue your meeting at night

I'm not sure what a mixed failure-success for means. Reattempt?

So from your rolls I'm gathering that Hua went to an armory door, disabled the alarm, opened the lock, and is inside disabling the weapons one by one, leaving the door mostly shut but cracked so she doesn't get locked in. Is this the case?


If this is the case, she goes looking for where to disable the guns, but it unsure. If she wants to be sure, she'll need to dissemble a weapon, inspect its innards, reassemble it, disable it, and then either test it to see if it fires or live with the second failure.

To light the flame or unsure it burns well?


To light the flame you need, traps, electrician, some other skill creatively used, or the right ergokinetic powers (which you have).


To make sure it burns well... that's probably traps or possibly a few other niche skills. Plus a bunch of fuel that living quarters don't have. The hydrogen bricks, lasing fluid, and rocket fuel are flamable enough that the rest of the ship, such as living quarters, are fairly well fire-proofed.

Pacifica explains Nejora will be “good” with “Fanaticism Pacifica”. Remarking that such a “disadvantage” would place her above Nejora’s duties and beliefs.
Assuming the meet-up with Nejora is arranged, Day will attempt to use Mental Surgery on her.

The first roll failed, I used Luck to reroll twice (and forgot to define the success threshold), so the best he managed was success by 5.

[331] 21-03-08 22:12:14 CET

Luck rerolls

3d6 <= 0
1: 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 ... failure
2: 2 + 6 + 5 = 13 ... failure

sum: 23, average: 11.50, success: 0/2 0%

[330] 21-03-08 22:11:55 CET -

Mental Surgery on Nejora, inflicting Fanaticism (Loyalty to Pacifica)

3d6 <= 15
4 + 6 + 6 = 16 ... failure

Oh, yes, sorry.

Hm... Do I have the tools to do that? Would firing a laser be loud or just destructive?

When it comes to officers and other relevant staff, that’s floors 10, 11 and 12... right? As having the fire work seems hard, I am thinking of messing with the elevators. How about it? If the elevators stop working then we can have control over the routes inside the ship, and make a diversion.

Well, sure but then they could use the stairs.

Yes, that's the point. And they will have to fix the elevators too, because it will hinder the alleged cargo-operation.

Could I get an acting roll from both Pacficia and Daymar, and a DX roll from Daymar?

The weapon can be field stripped, so everything needed to do that is with the weapon, plus you have the tools you used to get in. So yes.



the lasing is loud like a coach at a soccer game, but not like a gunpowder weapon.
