Pacifica's opponents aren't streaming through the door this time, they're staying put behind the square water tanks and waiting for their enemies to round the corner.

Can we shoot the water tanks, so the beams hit those behind?

Well, by sneaking about and using photorefraction. It's been a while but basically I figured attacking their positions from the rear would hamper their effectiveness.

Ok, give me a stealth roll (and is your old refraction roll still active?) Will Hua be attacking at the first possible location (on deck 19) or higher up in the decks?

You can't bounce lasers off the water tanks... but you can put holes in the water tanks to drench your foes with water under a good deal of pressure.

Let's go a level above that to catch them more off-guard. I'll assume the photorefraction needs a refresh.

Photorefraction
3d6 <= 15
1 + 2 + 2 = 5 ... success

[1334] 23-06-06 00:34:24 CEST
Stealth
3d6 <= 16
6 + 2 + 1 = 9 ... success
Ghost-like...

What would this require? Given that things are not working Pacifica might decide to wait instead.

Hua makes it to deck 18. the defenders here are mostly worried about people coming up through the hatches: they seem to think it will happen soon. They are hiding to ambush people doing so with tools used as improvised weapons.

Just hitting the water tank with a laser beam and holding it steady. Its not unlike aiming at the narrow side of a barn.

Pacifica whispers to her teammate (the one that accompanied her) to prepare, she's shooting the water tank to disrupt the enemies.

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

Pacifica's shot drills a hole in the water tanks, and it starts pouring out in a half dozen streams all over half of the waiting ambushers (the other half are on the other side).



This shocks them, and they start waving to their compatriots on the other side.

Is it possible for the team to fire in that direction now? Are there good chances of hitting them?

No, they haven't moved from their hidden locations.
