They are immediately across the hall from each other.

In the map, the blocks are the golden and grey squares, right?

Let’s say the hall is the “===” and that each number in brackets represents block/room. Are you saying that enemies are, for example, in blocks [01] and [08]?

_____ [01] [02] [04] [05] [06]
=======================
[07] [08] [09] [10] [11] [12]

And, regarding the doors, what I would like to understand is whether [01] and the rest of the blocks have only one door, or if there are other doors that enemies could use to escape.

The grey squares, to be specific. Golden squares are solid power conduits. Or on deck 2 they are storage cells, but you're not on deck 2.



There is a single door into each block like [01], and the enemies are in blocks like [01] and [08], or [04] and [10].

I make a remark about them splitting into a surrender mess and resistance mess. I send half the guards back and have the other half get to work ziptieing and dragging off this mess (Deck 19 like the others). Let's take care of these messes before handling whoever's still at work.

Thanks!

Pacifica tells her team to get ready for action.

First, they will wait for 5 minutes and do some observation checks to perceive enemy movement.
Pacifica: Observation (14) 9.

She and the stealthiest crewman of her team will move first, from the direction that doesn't allow the enemy seeing them coming through the threshold.

Pacifica: Displacement (14-2) 10, Stealth (15+4) 14.

The rest will also do stealth.

Pacifica and the stealthy crewman will quietly and quickly lock one of the doors, each. (I would like to call for danger sense and exposition sense to pick the door that proves the safest to lock).

If the enemies charge, the remaining 4 crewmen will be within 3 yards of range from the doors (they get this close using stealth), 2 people pointing at each door with their guns. This distance is enough to eliminate range penalties and if somebody needs help locking a door, the crewmen could also charge and help (instead of shooting). The priority is not to shoot. But if enemies get out, then they shoot. The "gunners" are approaching from a direction that doesn't allow the doors to serve as cover for the enemies.

"Sir, this is a small fraction of the mess that should be here. Most of them are gone."


They detain and zip tie the prisoners.

That direction is impossible, because that's the direction of the locked door.



Are you extending your displacement over the other crewman?

"Well that's why we're searching the ship right? Catch any stragglers? Take the prisoners to deck 19 and place them with the others. I'll check the situation on deck 1 before we proceed down there."

I go check on Deck 1; try to slip onto the deck without being noticed.

That direction is impossible, because that's the direction of the locked door.

Got it, let's move using the available path. We shall focus on locking the doors and shooting in emergency.

Yes, for as long as it's beneficial for the party.

Saviore Faire roll by sergant... its a pretty good roll: 7 vs a skill of 13, for a success by 6. You can either beat his roll, or blatantly break protocol.

Savoir-Faire

1 + 6 + 5 = 12 ... success

Daymar does not beat the Sergant's savoir-faire roll. He will blatantly break protocol and hope the repeated mental surgery attempt works.

Deck 1 is empty, though verifying that takes time.

The sergant tries to dodge. Make an unarmed attack roll or DX roll.

Everyone is in place. Two shooters with weapons trained on each door, and Pacifica and the largest security officer ready to slam each door shut.

Pacifica signals for action; she allows for her ally take action almost a split second before her and make an opening for her exposition sense to trigger. Is the door simply ajar or is there something else waiting for them?*

OOC: I want to avoid touching a rigged door*
