Indeed... how many are you targeting tonight? you can make the rolls all at once, I think.

Well we're now at 11+4/88, right? So we'd need about another 8 pairs to have a third of security under our belts. I say we go for another four of those.

Stealth

3d6 <= 14
1: 6 + 1 + 1 = 8 ... success
2: 2 + 4 + 6 = 12 ... success
3: 4 + 4 + 1 = 9 ... success
4: 3 + 1 + 6 = 10 ... success

[696] 21-11-18 00:08:16 CET

Mental Surgery (Fanaticism) All-Out Concentrate

3d6 <= 16
1: 2 + 1 + 3 = 6 ... success
2: 4 + 1 + 1 = 6 ... success
3: 2 + 1 + 5 = 8 ... success
4: 4 + 1 + 4 = 9 ... success
5: 5 + 5 + 1 = 11 ... success
6: 5 + 6 + 5 = 16 ... success - very narrow success here.
7: 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 ... success
8: 4 + 3 + 2 = 9 ... success

How much time elapsed since the couple's escape, what time is it when they make their next move? How much until the rumors reach Pacifica and her shift starts?

Eight more members of security have been comprised, or so it seems. Most of them should be from second shift, which is currently off... you think you got one pair who were on duty.

It is still third shift, at about 122 hours after dropping out of hyperspace. They want back to hunting within an hour of being seen. Hua should be asleep, the other two are on their off hours.



Pacifica is currently in rumor mode... she'll find out about the shot about 10 minutes after it happens. All she'll hear about is a shot fired in the ship though-- no word of dreadstormers. Her shift starts 12 hours from now, at 134 hours after the dropout.


She gets wind of a different rumor though: the hyperdrive section of the ship is going on serious lockdown. Many doors will be welded shut, and security will be placed at the entrances of the remaining ones. They're reaching out to the extra hands to provide additional security... which means they will be getting out the ship's weapons. This will slow down repairs, but make escaping from sabotage harder.



Its two hours before the third shift ends when she finds out about this.



What have Hua and Daymar been doing with the rest of third shift?

Updating the subverted officers on the new subverted officers, going back for more sleep.

I think they can be satisfied with the gains made here, so Daymar will just get back to normal things and try to avoid drawing attention.

Alright, during the off-hours prior to the shooting, Pacifica continued talking to Nejora with the aim of finding more about her skills.

Regarding the rumors, who got the information running?

Since the extra hands will help with security, do you mean Pacifica has a chance of receiving a gun and guard the hyperdrive?

If this is the case, Pacifica would use the off-hours to get a position as a guard of the remaining doors, in a schedule that doesn’t mess with the meetings.

Of course, I don’t want Pacifica to get into an awkward situation in which she asks for something that might not even happen or that is not official. She will check before taking action, and wait until the announcement takes place to keep a safe spot.

Ready to get the dice rolling!

You're able to discover that Nejora is a good bush driver but terrible at starting fires.

As in who did the information about the shots fired and the hyperdrive shutdown come from? If you had a clear chain of information, it wouldn't be a rumor. Would you like to run one of those rumor's down?

Yes... though remember that most the guns have been disabled.

That would take some doing... but it hasn't happened yet, you only know of the rumors.
