I must have confused which shift I was supposed to be helping Daymar. Yes, going to go help Daymar instead.

"Nijothu" goes with Tuchorbo and admires the ease with which he strikes up conversations with the female crew members. He makes sure to get him to make introductions, shaking hands with each one (while attempting Mental Surgery) and taking careful mental notes of their names and where they work.

The first four go just fine...
Jeezi Nitino (shields)

Juno Thipichor (life support)

Vipu Nuchuvi (power)

Zitizu Toboju (morale -- medic)


The last target is a member of security: Tuputu Puzozi. She seems to have noticed something about the handshake... maybe? Daymar isn't sure. She tries to end the conversation rather abruptly and leave.

Daymar is going to try to salvage this situation. He uses Suggestion with the Independent technique, spending 2 FP for the technique and 2 FP to offset penalties.

Suggestion (Independent)

3d6 <= 15
4 + 6 + 4 = 14 ... success

To stay there and continue speaking. If that works, he is then going to try Mental Surgery again, accepting the 1 FP and -1 penalty for a repeated attempt.

That's a success!


Having done a good evening's work, Daymar realizes he needs to meet up with Hua this evening at the meeting spot. How will he get away from "town" and meet with Hua?

Feeling tired after his efforts with Tuputu, he says to Tuchorbo, "You know, watching a vid with Kivu is starting to sound good. I'm feeling tired all of a sudden, I think I'd like to head back. You probably want to stick around though, right? I won't tell anyone you're out without a buddy, if you'll do the same for me. Just latch onto one of these other groups, no one will know the difference."

Fast-Talk

3d6 <= 14
5 + 1 + 2 = 8 ... success
