Not specificially that, as they're not 100% sure everyone in the mess actually was subverted properly.



We can get you involved though. What is Pacifica doing by the quartermaster, medical, laundary, and so forth?

What are the terms for doing watch? We could start from that point.

This action fails because of timing differences



I have not worked out what the penalty for using saviore-faire to convince a guard who is in a public area to abandon their post and go to a public hang-out place when the ship is on high alert their first day of a new duty, but its pretty high and the rolls probably would have failed.

I suspect that the other two dreadstormers are headed your way right now (during the time you are nearby to provide support if necessary), towards their target security members.


If you want to leave Nejora in the public area and try to sneak into the security area by yourself during the time when they are hunting... that's reckless and impulsive, but fine.

Well, probably after subverting the cooks.

Maybe I should explain a bit, let me know if this helps:

Savoir-faire is to find a window for the suggestion to take place (i.e. a smart time to make the suggestion).
Fast-talk is to convince the girl.
And IQ to find a proper chance.

So if Pacifica concludes the plan won’t work, that is OK but I would not say it failed. I don not want Pacifica to take a reckless action.

I believe that subverting the girl with Pacifica, can help us breach another section.
What do you say? (the two of you)

Just waiting for the moment Pacifica "crosses paths" with her team.

How is she with Nejora atm?

We're running the game at two different moments, as stated four posts ago. During the time of the visit to security, Pacifica is on off-time, sitting above them at the on-ship canteen. The guard duty is later in the evening, and you actually rolled to make sure Pacifica would be free during the subversion of security.

I'm unsure who the "guards" are in the message, but you see two men with security insignia on their uniforms eating two tables over. You're not sure how long the note as been there, but it can't have been more than a few minutes... can it?

The guards are the other two security people in the same room. I figured it was clear enough.

waiting on Pacifica to distract the guards somehow... enough that they don't notice an invisible hand is touching them.
