Thanks! For the surprise attack, Pacifica delivers a DWA (kick) against 2 targets, first she goes for a regular security member and then for Lt. Butieku. Do they have "bullet" guns?

DWA (Karate)
3d6 <= 15
1 + 2 + 6 = 9 ... success

Damage 2d6+5 (tox):
2d6
2 + 2 = 4 + 5 = 9

DWA (Karate)
3d6 <= 15-7
1 + 3 + 4 = 8 ... success

Damage 2d6+5 (tox):
2d6
4 + 5 = 9+5 = 14

Daymar:
Sergant Pookivo: "If we've lost contact, then they probably reported back. They know we're here. What directions do you expect an attack from? Are we striking out anywhere?"


Hua:
Hua vanishes from sight, and enters the laser section. They have obviously noticed security passing through armed, and have been disrupted by it. Everyone is talking about it, and they all seem tense.

The successful observation roll indicates that enemy security exited to the aft on deck 10... through a door into the officer's quarters, which is locked by officer security codes... which Pacifica got for you a while back.

Pacifica:
Lt. Butieku has a slug-thrower at her side but has a laser riffle in her hands. Everyone else is using laser riffles. Pacifica can't DWA with two kicks without some sort of jump/acrobatics roll. I'm changing the first kick to a punch unless otherwise indicated.

Lt. Butieku is hit hard and goes down. The security Pacifica hits takes quite a bit of damage (7 points) but stays up.

Vinobi hits a guy, and two of Pacifica's people open fire, both striking their targets.

The only guy still up drops his weapon and raises his hands.

I'll head back to Daymar, Pookivo, whoever and report in.

Got it! Jump-kick (a technique that gives you +2 to damage) does not require acrobatics for execution, but it needs acrobatics to avoid falling down. To comply with your observation, I just rolled acrobatics to deliver the two kicks with DWA (without the +2 of the jump-kick technique, in other words the damage I rolled stays the same):

Acrobatics
3d6 <= 14
2 + 2 + 4 = 8 ... success

Hopefully the security is out now, considering a major wound!

"Well, that's where we were heading anyway, I guess it just means they're reinforced and know that we're coming, but we've got to hit them anyway."

Taking 9 damage rather than 7 does not change the wounding category, though it does make the guard cross to under 1/3rd HP and suffer dodge penalties. She still drops her weapon and puts up her hands

Sargent Pookivo: "We don't train for acting sir. Being discrete and calm on discovery of critical information, yes, but not actual acting."


Sargent Nubitothi:"No, but Booki and Nortocho are far too good at lying for their own good. They're both here."

"Good, bring them to me. We'll enter through a lower entrance in case they're worried we're going to be coming from this direction. We'll contact our officers, then take the other officers unawares when you attack. We should aim to do the attack X minutes from now."

IQ roll for the X:

IQ
3d6 <= 14
2 + 2 + 4 = 8 ... success
So who should be in the quarters? I think Vibibu shouldn't (and isn't) and Vinobi should (but obviously isn't), and that leaves Chojo, Jokuchi, Jivithi, and Nichapu as unclear.


Then it's on to sneaking into the a officer quarters.

Could you specify the route you are taking? What story will the actors have prepared? Are you going invisible for this?


You probably want seven minutes to get in and warn the fifth column before the attack hits.

Chojo and Nichapu are off duty, Jivithi and Jokuchi are on duty.

What is Daymar up to?



And of course, Pacifica is in the middle of action...

Did I have any extra uniforms from when I stole them to give to the released prisoners? Do any of them match shields or missiles? I'll fetch one of those and change before hand if so.

Route is one floor down from 6F to 7F, then into the elevator down to 13F, then back up into 12F.

I won't be going invisible (please disregard the roll I made), instead I'll be posing a prisoner who they'll be taking to the officer for interrogation, I was spotted without a buddy or something, and the officer for the current shift doesn't recognize me but the other shift's might. If I don't have a uniform, a different story where I say that I was told to do something suspicious by Chojo could do too. Then Chojo can go tell Nichapu.

I'd also like the security guards to be carrying additional guns, perhaps holding a gun in their holsters while having their weapons drawn.
