It's been a long time since Daymar went to deck 19 to gamble, but manages to resist temptation especially since he knows it might not fit with his cover.

[601] 21-08-30 22:38:37 CEST

Gambling

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

Instead, he asks Kivu, "what do you want to do?" He's hoping his new buddy will steer him somewhere he might be able to subvert some other crew.

Jivithi is under suspicion, Nichapu is also under suspicion and had different programming, Vinobi already has a list, & Chojo is presumably off-shift (given he's the most plausible candidate when I gave Thibi a name earlier). Are they at work (and thus somewhere I can find them) during my break shift and can I get enough time from Thibi to go deliver a message to both of them?

And then during sleep shift I'm working with Daymar to subvert people.
Jokuchi and Vibibu both work third shift, which is during the sleep shift... which is right now! Hua has work to do! Get to it!

Alrighty then. I'll assume the pen and paper are on hand and write two letters.

Jokuchi first arbitrarily
-> Stealth and Photorefraction to remain out of sight
-> Observation to find him
-> Filch for the hand off

On to Vibibu:

[608] 21-08-31 22:00:03 CEST
Observation
3d6 <= 13
4 + 6 + 5 = 15 ... failure
Ok, so I guess I don't find him? Or don't find him in a convenient location?

What's in them?

The life support areas are fairly high traffic, being near the living quarters. Hua gets trapped between four spacers walking towards each other in a narrow hall.

"Yeah, I'm pooped. Go find someone else to go with you. How about Tuchorbo? he's always wanting to go buy something from the quartermaster. No idea how he affords it. He'll be happy to have someone who wants to walk for another half hour."

Tuchorbo is indeed willing to go around the ship: he wants to get some food down at the quartermaster, and seemingly to go flirt with any of the women on the ship that he can find -- he says the laundry is a good place to do that.

The following, including you, are agents of the fifth republic. Organize and await further orders. There's a pen and paper at [the hidden spot near the meeting location]; deliver any actionable intelligence there. Messages will be left there for you. Destroy this letter after you memorize it.
Chojo - Knows nothing, not under suspicion.
Vinobi - Received list, was told the list was composed of suspected agents
Jivithi - Under suspicion for hyperdrive sabotage
Nichapu - Under suspicion for hyperdrive sabotage, possibly less suspicion
Jokuchi - Received a copy of this list; confirm veracity by asking about fictitious crewman "Zorcheeno" (or another more plausible name)
Vibibu - Received a copy of this list; confirm veracity by asking about fictitious crewman "Porvibee" (or another more plausible name)
[I'll also include the rank details with the names].

Well I suppose I could just wait, for an opportunity to slip away, but that will slow things down too much. I'll try to daze one in front of me to create a gap and then slip through the gap.

The chosen spacer stops moving forward, and Hua slips through the gap. The others look at them. "Hey! what's the matter? you fall asleep?"


Hua continues through the ship to find Vibibu. Now to deliver the note...

Tuchorbo heads down to what he refers to as "Town": the area with the quarter master, the laundry, the barbershop, and the pocket-sized bar (visits are rationed out, but it adds to the vibe of the area: which is small, cramped, spartan, and crowded, but somehow mercantile). Crew from all over the ship are here. Tuchorbo is mostly trying to start conversations with female crew he thinks are attractive... he's not terrible at it...

I wonder if I can go the entire campaign without them figuring out my power set...

Let's deliver it:

So you'll be waiting 24 hours before going subverting people with Daymar? Its the appropriate shift.
