Go ahead and try to spin a better story.
I'll try to persuade Thibi the relationship with the "officer" is falling apart. Botha was too much of a stick in the mud to give me anytime for a rendezvous. Then she up and got me arrested and now he hardly wants to see me anymore. Or maybe I'm just cold and that's why all my relationships fall apart. etc.

I'll make an acting roll to sell this:

sneaking into sleeping areas is a little tricky. You are walking into a very quiet room of 26 people who are supposed to be asleep: in practice, someone is usually awake, trying to fall asleep, worried about something, or has just finished going to the bathroom. Its dark, but these people all know each other. An ordinary stealth check should suffice. If you get caught, you'll be in big trouble because you're obviously not supposed to be there (as opposed to the folks who were sneaking out).

walking into her work place is a little odd: you've got multiple sections in that room and its one of the reliable places to run into officers. You could just walk in, say something to her, and walk out, but she might be asked who you were, and that could cause issue if she has a terrible answer.

Catching her off-hours is not difficult and doesn't raise comment, expect that you might not know where she is. The time when she is most predictable and easy to approach without comment is meal-time. You'll want a buddy of some sort for that.

So you have options. Let me know which one you pick.
Catching Chiki at meal-time sounds like the best option. Does Day know which mess she uses? What does he need to do to make this happen?

Thibi is sympathetic, assures Hua she's not just cold and its not like that, and marvels at how rough Botha must have been. Thibi doesn't seem convinced that the object of affections is an officer, but enough doubt is sowed that she asks which one.

Contains monoyithlidethaline. Measure bodymass and metabolic rate before administering. Administer only by designated medical professional. Get immediate medical help if accidentally ingested, induce vomiting, and administer CPR if necessary.

Pacifica would have passed mess location onto day.



Daymar needs to get to the mess with a buddy of some sort during meal time, something to do to explain his presence (which can be as simple as looking for a friend), and an opportunity to touch Chiki. She has breakfast right after he goes to sleep, lunch in the middle of his sleep, and dinner as he is just starting work.

I know the first names of the officer's we subverted right? I'll give her the first name of whichever subverted officer is the most plausible.

pick a name and they'll become most plausible.

OK, I'll go with Chojo. I think that's a matching shift, but wasn't sure if that made the most sense.

How do each of you react to the ruckus when the ship drops out of hyperspace?


Chojo it is. Tovotoni Chojo.



Note: Pacifica had a segment (scheduled to happen very soon, actually), where she adressed Chojo as though he were in her chain of command. Vinobi is the officer who is also in navigation... though he doesn't work at the same time as pacifica. Vinobi will probably be in the room right when the shifts change though.



Let me know if that changes anything.

Right. I'll complain about being woken up and wonder aloud what Transport supposed to do about an unscheduled drop out of hyperspace. Then back to bed; if it's a long day tomorrow I'll need more rest.

Day's plan is to rouse Pothi early and try to catch Chiki while she's having dinner. "Pothi, a little bird told me that there's someone who is interested in you. Let's go check her out before our shift starts."

What is the timing of dropping out of hyperspace? Whenever it occurs, Daymar will grouse to Pothi, "This wasn't planned, I think we're going to be busy until this can be fixed."

So, the ship dropped out before Day took actions against the hyper-drives?

What are the other people doing?
Pacifica may react like the rest of the people in the ship do.

But it depends on the things happening at such moment.
