I believe the meeting comes next.
Would I be wrong in assuming that dragging Botha off to the window room to look at the pretty lights would be really funny but also lead questions like "Where's your buddy?" and "What's wrong with you?"

Would it be a bad idea to just ask someone to cover for me while I went to visit the fifth floor for the meeting? I figure I could say Botha's clearly tired and needs some rest, putting her out of the picture for a while, and come up with a plausible reason why I want to go to floor 5 privately.

That would be a distinct risk.

The only person who would object is Botha, and she's in no condition to do so.

I ask Botha if she's feeling alright, and then drag her off to bed if she's cooperative.

Did I swap them with the real pills? Would have done so unless they were locked up. If I haven't swapped them yet I'll stash them away when I drag Botha off to bed.

The pills are locked up. Its a good lock: -4 with the improvised tools you are currently using.

Well, let's give it a shot.

Lockpicking - 4

Great! I'll take the real pills for disposal and stash the fake pills away.

Hua gets in the kitchen and takes only a minute to get the lock open. She gets the fake pills in and takes the real ones out.

Now she's holding a bunch of psi suppressant pills and improvised lock-picking tools, and needs to get to the meeting in just a few minutes.

Well:
-> Stick it all in a bag, hold it out, then cart Botha off to bed
-> Persuade someone to cover for me, then get down to Floor 5
-> Take a suppressant pill and the tools out, then stash the bag somewhere.

Since the meeting is taking place, I believe, when Daymar is off-shift, he plans to get Pothi out to somewhere social where there will be plenty of distractions, and then tell him, "Just got to hit the head, I'll be back in a few minutes." He will then proceed to the meeting with Hua.

GM rolling for Hua: Holdout (17 - 2) (carry the pills and tools) SF (Military) 14 (get someone to cover for him) Camouflage (8-2) (hide the stuff)
3d6
1: 2 + 5 + 1 = 8
2: 6 + 2 + 4 = 12
3: 1 + 5 + 2 = 8

Hua gets the contraband out of the kitchen, picks the sloppiest "buddy" in the room, and then heads three decks down and to the end of the ship to meet with Daymar. She's isn't free of the suppressants, but she's almost there.



There are still some flour meals being served, maybe once a day.. not all of the flour was destroyed

The two dreadstormers meet on deck five to discuss their progress.

Day makes his way briskly through the ship, showing up at the designated meeting point. Nodding to Hua when she arrives, he asks, "How are things coming?"
