The footsteps belong to two security personnel, both with laser riffles.

"Do you see them?"

"No, but someone had to put the sign up!"

"Be careful, its probably the dreadstormer. Who'd have thought it was a woman?"
I'm too stubborn. I'll try to wait them out. More rolls?

One more set of rolls to hide and to observe.

Hopefully their tired of chasing ghosts now.

If get this blasted locker open, what do I need to roll to identify narcotics (or something similarly suspicious) and to conceal the filler was stolen?

There are only two of them, and you stay outside of their search (a double dozen circular passages is a terrible place to try and find someone).



after three minutes they give up, leaving the sign folded up against the wall.

lots of things should work: first aid or streetwise are the first that come to mind.

Deck 19 for a start.

They've got my MO down... I'll risk it without the sign.

Lockpicking - 4
3d6 <= 10 : 1 + 1 + 4 = 6 ... success
Finally.

Grab the filler (not all, unless there's only one unit of it) and try to find narcotics (or other compromising thing)

Daymar does his best to pry out of one of the navigation NCO's the timeline for their mission. The NCO is convinced he's only worried about the timeline of his bet, and gives him just a few hints about the time line. They're taking a long route: it will probably be 4 weeks from launch before they arrive in jakorbi space. Daymar is able to confirm this information with his hyperdrive obersvations. They're 11 days into the mission, so that leaves 17 days left... though he probably has a few days after they first arrive around the Jakorbi.

Hua gets in and looks around for the filler. She finds it, and a few of those coveted narcatics, and grabs both. Her uniform isn't great for smuggling things, but medicine is small, and she is able to get some of both.

Will she hide these things somewhere besides under her clothing for when she comes out from the washroom?

Botha makes a low joke about how long Hua was in the bathroom.

Not yet. The lockers are in the bunkroom right? I'd like to hide them under my mattress or something so I can get at them when everyone's sleeping.

Lockers are seperate from bunkrooms, arranged in big metal rows. The lockers for transportation are on level 3, below the rest of transportation's quarters, on the vehicle floor. The bunks are in big rooms of 26 people each.



The filler is in 2lb cases, so its reasonably bulky. maybe the size of a soup bowl, but more square. To convert it into the right shape you'll need cooking supplies.

Day is relieved that it looks like there is still plenty of time left. Has he heard anything further about actions that might be attributed to either the pyro or the Fifth Spinward Republic fanatic? He is contemplating creating more "time bombs" with mental surgery.
