Well let's empty deck 1 of air and continue heading downwards with operation mop-up.

Well done then.



The sergant completely fails in his attempt to dodge (critical failure). Daymar grabs his wrist, and a certain something of mind control passes between them.



sergeant: "Is it going to be that awkward converting everyone on this ship?"

Hide, you can literally sense what's on the other side of each door.



The big security memory hits the door with his weight, but it doesn't shut all the way: he didn't push the three others.



Make your own roll to shut your door.

Alright.



Deck three is interesting, of course, because its part of the transportation system. Any particular tweaks to the plan to flush the decks in light of how key deck three is to travel?

Right. The plan is to evacuate air from the compartments that are unrelated to transport (i.e. the messes, turrets, hydrogen bricks), while leaving the areas key to transportation (loading bay floor, the compartments along the way to the Block H elevators, the compartments that hold the block C elevators, possibly the compartments with the block A elevators) habitable. Three pairs of guards can be left behind to ensure that nobody hides in this area. Maybe leave one bathroom compartment open for sanitation.

OOC:

Let’s see, I have these impressions:

If Pacifica can see what is going on, she should have noticed that there was someone -ready to hold the door- and signaled it before the execution; since Pacifica's team priority is blocking/closing the doors, the other crewmen must have helped close the door on her mark.

With the door ajar, not fully open, there should have been an advantage on our side: Pacifica sees them, but they do not see us clearly, we have guns and they do not (IMO it is unlikely somebody will push the door open lacking guns), and so on.

On the other hand, what I recall from the previous post is that there were 3 people in each room, but not that all of them were at the doors. And I think they would be in formation to come out (ready to ambush) and not to hold the door; they think they can ambush us, but they won’t, and this should spoil their plan to some degree.

Could you revise the events?

"Not generally, you're the first who has made it that challenging. Now we need to help convince your men where their loyalties should lie."

I said there were three people standing over the threshold of the door. So she did notice.

For this, the guns aren't relevant: you're sneaking, so they don't know about the guns. Yes, they aren't aware so there should be an advantage... your guy had a pretty terrible roll.

All of them are "at the doors", just one in each room is "over the threshold". May I emphasize: your guy rolled a 15.

Alright, that works. Hua's team sweeps deck three. Is Hua sweeping the hole deck or just the parts behind the wall of locked doors?

I understand that part, but it should be 3 VS 1 in the first push, or at least 2 VS 1. Pacifica's team prepared this in advance.

Well, this is the deck with the fewest problems crossing the wall so I say we sweep the whole deck. Better inspect that hole too; any damage goes on the capture report.

After this deck, might as well continue without disturbing the wall, then going on to the other after clearing.

"Of course I do. I would like you to invite them, in pairs, to be briefed on our situation. We'll find somewhere private to do so, my guards will help ensure they don't make a fuss, and then we'll continue on until everyone is on the same page."
