Just when you think the dice roller hate you... it comes through. NICE ROLL!
Cool! Many things I put out there and then have plans either way. I try not to put campaign-essential information at the mercy of a do-or-die dice roll. I'll have the info come forth shortly.
Yes, it would have exploded (self-destructed) on a failed roll. Pocket Attache is the name of the item.

DS, do we have spare changes of clothes for the Rebels (and potentially Oona) who just came from Hoth? Of course, we have our Imperial captive on board, so if we get boarded, we're SOL, but we might want to hide anything that explicitly ties us to the Alliance.

I would think that there may be SOMETHING to wear. Standard clothes, no Soak value, though.
The station personnel may or may not care if you have an Imperial prisoner. You have NO idea what the attitude or loyalty is here.

Right. All the better reason to play it safe!

@SanguineAngel, is Oona in Rebel gear?

@DeepSpacer that's a juicy post!
Oona would definitely be in rebel gear. Would you allow her to simply remove hear jacket? Or would you reckon a downgrade from heavy clothing like the other troops?

High risk, High reward. A lot of players never (or hesitate) to try the hard stuff. It could have all blow up in your face...literally. Tasty tidbits, but need to see what players can do about it. Not much a single, heavily-damaged ship can do on their own.

The jacket, I guess, would have the insignia. Going with 'heavy clothing' would suffice.

Vesper probably has a spare set of clothes, though they wouldn't provide any Soak, probably. They may be a bit baggy on Oona, though, thanks to Vesper's 3 Brawn.
By the way,
@DeepSpacer, Vesper should be at 0/13 Wounds now thanks to a stim.

I'm drawing a blank here: Did we know someone at this station we're supposed to be meeting up with? I don't know that we have the cash for repairs to the ship, as they're very expensive per the RAW.

The Red Dawn is damaged, low on fuel, and has a struggling life support systems. This was the nearest place (similar to Han finding Bespin out in the middle of nowhere....(Leia) "Anoat System? There's not much there."). Regarding cash, you have a ship full of cargo and some items. I rather go with the 'macro' with regards to value rather than tedious bean-counting of every credit. Needless to say, the ability to Negotiate looks to be quite valuable on this trip.

Ah, yes! We do have a cargo! So I think our best bet is to identify either a merchant or some mining baron on this station.

Just had Vesper ask about repairs (in her typical "I'm not used to interacting with non-Humans" way).

so @DeepSpacer something I wanted to ask about, one of the things you said was on the datapad was that there was a fuel depot in the area that isn't mentioned by name, is this it?

@boutroseIt's there. "Ione". Different than Ison. You could make a Knowledge: Outer Rim check (DD+SS)

[OOC: @DeepSpacer Could I make a knowledge roll to see if I recognise anything about these guards? It sounds like a relatively distinctive look.]
They are, indeed, 'distinct'. Something not see this far into the galaxy. (Really, I saw a cool pic and made up a background.) 4Diff+S

superb, thanks. I've done the roll and mirraculously succeeded. I'm not done with Overseer Henso just yet either - It's my intention to ask about someone or somewher to sell our goods to too but I wanted to wait and see if knowledge of the guards is likely to give me an insight here.
(Is that piece of art your own by the by?)

One of my mindless habits is to browse and download SW pics of all kinds. I keep a broad reservoir of all types. Quite often the picture inspires a story. I never did find a space station to my satisfaction.
The 'guards' are some fanatical mercenaries from beyond the rim like those blue-skinned, red-eyed Chiss you've heard of. Called (let's say) Jannisaries. Cold, impersonal, fanatically loyal.....to the credit stick. They follow a fanatical, deified leader. (1 success, 2 threats)

Just checking in to let people know I'm following along. Hell is remaining silent and watching since other PCs are taking the lead. He is interested in the well fare of the ship and crew, but having been in many illicit stations knows to keep an eye out for the ship.

A good habit! Though I was prepared to be impressed by a really passable Duros with character in a fantastically short period of time.

Awesome, so we should be aware that there is likely someone in charge around here with a semi-cult following.

I, for one, appreciate your cynical paranoia!

The most paranoid players are GMs themselves
. No I can see as player that having something happen to the ship at this time would probably not add to the story and therefore is not likely to happen. It also wouldn't be good for the station. They don't want to drive away business or draw the attention of the imperials. So the ship is probably fine.
However, my PC, is the pilot/owner of the ship. It would be his baby and he would be cautious with it always.

No Rush. I had gotten up extra early this morning to take care of some things. I usually wouldn't get around to things until the evening.
