126 hours after the ship drops out of hyperspace, first shift starts again, and the hyperdrive bay goes on lockdown. Doors are welded shut, and guards placed at the remaining entrances. This will slow down repairs, but they think it will stop sabotage.

As its first shift, Hua is on duty, and Daymar and Pacifica are supposed to be asleep.

I don't think anyone has anything to do on this shift until its end. Second shift starts at 134 hours. Pacifica and daymar are then on duty, and Hua is off.

Pacifica, give me a skill roll for rumor collecting in the morning

Pacifica, roll saviore-faire (military) to get assigned a guard duty that does not interfere with the meetings. If you fail, roll a die to see if you aren't assigned (odd) or if you are assigned something cumbersome (even)

Daymar is called to meet with an officer... one Vinobi (the compromised officer running the crew right before pacifica)

Hua, what will you be doing with your off-time?

'Nijothu' calls to Kivu, "I've been called in to see an officer called Vinobi, do you know him? Not sure what it's about, but you better come, too."

She hears a rumor that the weapons in the armory were compromised and that security is trying to figure out how many still work.

Kivu comes along. the guard at the door of the officer's quarters stops him at the entrance. Vinobi welcomes Daymar into his office.



"I believe we have a matter of mutual interest. Are you currently targeting security or the officers?"

"Sir? Targeting them for what? I'm not sure what you're asking me, sir."

Acting

3d6 <= 14
1 + 1 + 3 = 5 ... success

Daymar's not sure what's going on here, so he's acting dumb (quite successfully, too, from the looks of that roll). He's quite certain that when he converted Vinobi he did that as Daymar, not as Nijothu, so why did he know to call him in?

OOC: Then I guess it's time to pay a visit to Hua.

Just kidding.

Ahh, I'd forgotten about that. My bad. The call to Vinobi did not happen.



Zybo pulls Pacifica aside latter in the day, to tell her that a large number of the weapons in the armory have been disabled, and to ask for advice on if the ship should be told or not... the dread-stormers presumably already know about it.



first shift starts at 142 hours: Pacfica and Daymar are in off-hours, Hua is supposed to be asleep. Pacifica is on duty guarding the hyperdrive during the last half of the shift. You have about 50 hours until the promised jail break. There is no meeting this shift, but this is your traditional active hour. What will each dreadstormer do?

I'll go to meet with Daymar after checking if there are any messages.

Daymar will meet up with Hua. "Are we trying to convert more security?"
