DreadStormers [IC]

[TGLS]

OK. I shall proceed with searching the decks to find any missing stragglers. I ask the security for a supply of zip tie cuffs so I can capture anyone I can. I'll keep hidden and search on my own while I leave the security to their own devices while carrying out the search. They should transport the captured transportation personnel before looking for stragglers.

We don't have anyone in the life support areas who can remove the air from compartments and decks, do we? Maybe we should pull Vibibu and ask who/what he would need to remove air like that.

Daymar makes it to deck 18.

He tries to anticipate enemy tactics.

The enemy could try the following:

• removing the air from compartments. This would rely on superior numbers.
• Trying to start fires all over the ship.
• Hiding in hydrogen compartments and popping out to hit targets with tools or hydrogen bricks*.
• Rushing with fists, tools, and bricks in a mass
• Blowing up the reactor, a nuclear warhead, or the fusion drive. Right now a compromised officer controls the fusion drive, and converted troops control the reactor and warheads.

*yes, that would cause a fire hazard.

She has arrived. Zybo is worried that no life support people are in the area.

Then she will unlock the doors that have been tampered with. Pacifica asks for two “clean” crewmen capable of handling drills with ease but also able of troubleshooting the doors. She believes that breaking the doors would be the last option and asks for someone with the right skills. *

The order on this is weird: you are behind the doors right now, but once you go to deck 18 you won't be. Getting someone who can open the locked doors... security has been trained in that, as well as some life support and some transportation.

Once Daymar reprograms Zybo, Pacifica will try to broadcast a message throughout the ship, with the intention of cooling down the (possibly imminent) paranoia.

lets wait until after the reprogramming of Zybo. You'll need to get to a command center to do that. And will Pacifica or Zybo be speaking there? I'll also need the general wording of the message.

Ok, this is mostly a mopping up operation... No rolls until something big happens. Hua catches a few prisoners. What will she do with them?

A basic spacer roll will let you do that. Everyone on the ship is technically trained in it. You can only do it to compartments adjacent to the exterior or to another vented compartment.

Hm. Zip tie their hands, haul them back to the large vehicle bay (the large unseparated region on floor two), then zip tie their feet. When we get around to the lower floors I suppose we should keep guards on floor 3 to transfer prisoners from elevator to elevator.

I take it this is like a job roll, not 52 rolls.

Are elevators operational if the air in the compartments surrounding the shaft has been evacuated? Can air be evacuated through the missile bays?

A 2-point margin of success is a bit on the slim side, so I'm using Luck to reroll.

Hua transports the prisoners up to the vehicle bay*. Are her associated troops also sweeping nearby decks?


* the vehicle bay, not the loading station, yes? they're both large areas on deck three. the loading station connects to the elevators, and the vehicle bay is next to it.

correct. No crit fishing. Though you get -1 for each multiple of 4, so 52 rolls would be at -3.

Are elevators operational if the air in the compartments surrounding the shaft has been evacuated? Can air be evacuated through the missile bays?

The elevator doors and elevator shaft doors are all airtight and the pressure of the compartment can be checked. They will function in vacuum. Air can be evacuated through the missile bays.

Zybo shakes Daymar's hand.



He notices the change. He glances over at Pacifica. "How sure are you that the bomb is going to go off?"

Yeah, after they handle the transport crew they should support sweeps on the same deck I'm sweeping.

It's more that I realized I made a mistake of not posting anyone to guard or transport prisoners from deck-to-deck. So I decided that deck two would be handled differently from the other decks also because there's no elevators on deck two. And that's why their legs are bound to prevent them from wandering away

Well I was looking at it less like crit fishing and more like inevitable failure.

[ericthered]

Daymar, Zybo, and Pacifica head up to the fore command center. What are you planning for Zybo will announce?


Hua moves her captured victims up to the vehicle bay. Is she sweeping the whole deck or just the half behind the locked door line? her troops offer to follow up behind her, flushing the air.



The large area in deck 2 is actually the loading tunnel for deck three: it has no floor, just an open space dropping to deck 3.

Well if there's the locked door line on deck 2 as well, then we can cover the other half after we check deck 3. The vehicle bay should give access to the other side, right?

Well if that's more efficient than them sweeping themselves (i.e. sweeping is something that can be done alone and quickly, while draining air is time consuming and can be done faster by multiple people), that's fine by me.

Great, since Pacifica is not taking Zybo with her, you may get there with him and work the officers that still need to be subverted.

Understood, then Pacifica will proceed to unlock the doors. Who is with Pacifica? What tools did the team gather?

Since Zybo is going with Daymar, he isn't going to use the comms right away (or provide a general briefing about the situation). If the officers ask, he must talk them into setting up a bomb, and this could be the chance for Daymar to subvert the guys. Once they are subverted, they may prepare another plan.

Taking Daymar’s advice into account, she will instruct her team to prepare to fight fire. For the moment Pacifica will move with stealth 15 (15), towards the locked doors, paying attention to movement about the ship.

Yeah, the vehicle deck gives access to deck 2 on the other side.



If you want to sweep deck 2 that will involve taking the shield section, both working area and quarters.

If its just empty corridors, yeah, that's the way to do it. If you're taking a high-population target like shields you'll want your backup.

Just Lt. Nichapu, Thorpojor, and Tozortu.



You don't have any tools to open the doors unless you gather some. As you are in life support, that's easy. Do you have a skill to open a blocked hatch? Forced Entry, lockpicking, or so on?

What guys? everyone in both the life support section and the forward command center are dread-stormer aligned.

She arrives at one of the locked doors.
