Yeah, security is a bit more dangerous to act suspicious around, and they've on heightened alert right now.

I think the margin of success should be sufficient to cause both shots to miss.

That's one guard dazed and one mind controlled... we're dropping slightly out of combat time, but the shot should have been heard by the neighboring compartments... which are full of security personnel, so act quickly. Also, you're right below the quartermaster, and they may have heard things. What are you doing now?

The shots are not quite gunshots, and the ship as a whole is fairly noise dampening. She's on off duty... if she wants to be in the vicinity, she could be doing laundry or at the establishments. Otherwise she is probably at her quarters.

Well it only takes a second to do the brainwashing, right? I'll get Daymar back under the photorefraction barrier and he can brainwash the two guards. Then get out before other guards arrive to help sweep.

Daymar will suggest to the guard he's controlling to also drop his rifle. He will then approach him, make contact, release suggestion and perform mental surgery.

[685] 21-11-08 22:30:38 CET

Mental Surgery (Fanaticism, La Quinta Republica)

3d6 <= 15
5 + 1 + 6 = 12 ... success

He will do this as well with the dazed guard, assuming no interruptions (waiting to roll until I see how the first one goes).

I take it theses changes will instantly take effect?



That should take about three seconds for all of it.



The first guard is effected.

Yes, it doesn't seem like the best time to be patient about it.

Since the other guard is dazed, Daymar will then attempt to do the same to him. With Hua watching over him and the apparently converted first guard, he will focus all his attention on this (All-Out Concentrate).

[686] 21-11-09 22:31:10 CET

Mental Surgery (Fanaticism, La Quinta Republica), All-Out Mental (should be All-Out Concentrate)

3d6 <= 16
2 + 1 + 5 = 8 ... success

Will you leave them like so without instructions, wipe their memories, or give them a cover story?

I'll tell them to say the one who fired tripped and accidentally discharged their gun. Hopefully that's a good enough cover.

So now to make Daymar disappear and sneak out of there.

Wiping their memories would require giving them a Delusion, and I don't think I can afford another Mental Surgery with the additional penalties. As TGLS suggested, we can give them a cover story and tell them to keep an eye out for a signal to act.

"Yes Sirs!" they tell you.



Doors are beginning to squeak open. Which direction will you be leaving? Or will you be hiding in the compartment?



(up is establishments, down is more crew quarters, fore is engineering floor, aft is blocked, port and starboard are hydrogen cell storage)

I think finding somewhere to hide in hydrogen block storage is probably the best move for now.
