Despair: allows entry, but with an escort, keeps Major Kettel outside.

1 Adv: allows your 'tech support' to go with you.

An peculiar situation where roleplay and the dice do not match up. Even with Boost dice, it won't net to a success. Some things you just have to role play even when charm and coercion would be the proper way to adjudicate things. Certainly dont want to hinder creative role play, but also dont want to make dice rolls without meaning or consequence. I think in have an idea as to how it plays out. This is building security, after all.

This may be a point to us Deception (again). I don't really have an "exact" way this is expected to go. "No risk-it, no biscuit," as they say. Her Discipline is three red.ImageImageImage

{{EDIT: add a Boost die if you name drop an Imperial name, like one from the Hoth encounters, or even a made up name.}}

I also think I will play into Vesper being there with her repair tools. I think they will have been expecting a repair tech. That'll be my way out of an utter rejection.

Gave me some initiative to go back and get some Imperial names we may have come across.
(Captured) Lt. Gordon Pitts
(Dead) Commander Cook
Commander Bullard
Admiral Cardot

Of course, there ARE advantages to using a made-up name, as well.
+1 Boost for using any name at all.

Leave it up to Hell Loco to make a roll like that. Will take some time to figure that one out.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I though the extra boost I asked for might be the tie breaker but hell luck.

He then looks at Kettel (in a guard uniform w/o insignia) and Vesper (tooled up in a repair outfit).
I think I had Vesper as a Tech disguise, but somewhere I wrote Medic when I think I intended to say Technician. I confuse her with Anjali in A-Squad.

I searched up some Tech jargon generator for the "nanowave FTL compactor." Seems Star Warsy enough!

Crazy work on the Charm check by Lt Comm Starlight. Even with a reroll versus Hell's two ranks of Cool, she failed to some through. A success wouldn't of meant you'd be forced to hand it over, but maybe let her carry it upstairs. At this point, a polite decline or no-thank-you would not be insubordinate given the failed rolls.

I don't think we've flipped any Destiny Points this session. Still at 2 / 2. They can be used to suggest story elements, as well. At this point we'll ride upstairs in the turbolift. Maybe get this tech thing looked at, then proceed to (maybe) look at this message to determine its worthiness to go on-air. You can assume this predictable series of events.

I just thought, "Combat in a turbolift would be kind of cool." Of course, that is always an option....to jump them at some point. You don't know yet who and what else is on the floor we are going to. May want to check out the scene.

{{EDIT}} I think we hid weapons in the tool box. Hell may have a sidearm on him since he was a driver and may carry one in his official capacity.

So, he is withholding the data disk until he gets paperwork? i.e. not giving it to her now? She DID FAIL the Charm check (TWICE!!), but that does not mean that Hell couldn't just give it to her anyways to let her think that it worked. That kind of role-play might be worth a boost/upgrade down the line. Pride in thinking her charms worked. Pride before the fall kind of thing. Or, maybe "paperwork" will be the distraction Hell needs to get the drop on them?

It is late (midnight). I will continue the IC later.

I don't care who needs to look at it, I just need to get it on air. Let's get through whatever paperwork you require over with before we both end up paying the price.
Helios follows her to the turbolift and rides it to the end appearing in all ways to comply. He keeps his eyes open hoping to notice any traps or find the broadcast room.

That non-success Triumph got Vesper misidentified as a Technician. Should be interesting. She has a 4 Int and zero tanks in computers. But, two ranks in mechanics. No slicer stuff or actual computer to log into things (save spending a DP to make it so).

What do you think Vesper would do? Cause a distraction / mishap and get the drop on everyone?

Does He'll risk trying to pass the data card to HER and see if she can hotwire this into the feed from the back room? Difficulty would be against their Perception. Or, flip a DP saying you EACH have a copy?

I have to lay out the scene, yet. But it'll be Lt Comm Starlight, her accompanying guard, much less impressive door guard, and at least two broadcast engineers. Maybe some service droids.

@swrider Any reaction to these?

Most likely, Vesper will be shown to the Tech area to fix the "nanowave FTL compactor" and Hell will discuss this message he wants to spread. A certain amount of separation will likely occur.

I have an idea what Vesper would do.... Arm herself up, take out guards, and come out to take charge of the area. There's no real IC opportunity to discuss options between characters.

Sometimes we get this 'modern' version of Star Wars with cameras everywhere, but I don't necessarily subscribe to modernizing the setting. I think surveillance state dynamics apply in certain situations, as the situation demands.

One thing Hell can do is wait and see how things flow. I will present a scene. You mentioned wanting to see where the broadcast equipment exists. Some of the complexities may be beyond Hell's abilities. There is a lot of stuff going on. He may have to make some rolls to marrow down his focus....maintain his discipline....block out the unnecessary stuff. How will Hell make sense of it all?

Will pause at this moment were the doors open and we step out. A camera is viewing the entryway.

Anticipate:
- Vesper being asked/shown to do the repairs.
- Ms. Starlight asking for the data disk at some point

Total people there is 7. Door guard, body guard, Starlight, one man upstairs (you can see), and three downstairs in that monitoring room.

Please see the post I mentioned you on in the cantina. It provides a lot of details on my current situation. If you would like to keep going after reading it please let me know as I would love to continue the game but just am not managing to make enough time to be respectful to you by being involved.

Lets keep going!! I am anxious to see how it turns out! Hell has a bit to consider in the previous few posts. Mostly, the elevator opens and he can observe about anything he wants. He should make an AVG Perception check to "look" for something specific right away. Otherwise, I will describe a general scene once you respond to Starlight's question.

Will take a minute on this. Plus, I go to work Saturday evening. Vesper may try to cover for you, OR she will be equally stunned. OR, she will draw a blaster on them.....

Assuming this is intentional, is there something Hell hopes to do? Sleight-of-Hand a code cylinder, perhaps? Steal his weapon?



These are two very disciplined individuals. Though, not necessarily cruel (i.e. "Blast this fool!") I'll have to think about how they'll react. Or, Vesper's intervention.

I was trying to channel hell. There has been limited interaction so far so he is going with the crazy route. The guard is the most dangerous he is hoping to disarm or nullify him without them feel like it is a major invasion just some it who talked his way in.

I don't know where I expect this to go... We will see.
