Øyvind watches the priest looking at the panel seeming quite unsure on how to use it. 'Father please if your not sure how do do this let me try' 'i have some skill in operation this kind of machinery'

Operate Heavy Machinery +2 (1d20+2=3) - Ouch

Puzzled, Father Rucker back off to let Øyvind handle the levers.

[sblock=ooc]Operate heavy machinery can't be used untrained and Father Rucker don't have any ranks in this skill. [/sblock]Father Rucker looks puzzled at the levers and pedals
Green is probably the "Go" button, and Red is the "stop". I wonder what are the black and grey.
Father Rucker thinks to himself
One of the pedals is probably the gas and the other is the break, the levers are to maneuver the tankards. I hope I'll not drop them.
Father Rucker press the green button, the right pedal and begins to pull the levers.

The winch engine roared to life when the priest pressed the green button, then he relaxed and thought to himself, "So far, so good...", but when he pulled a lever, the overhead crane began rapidly dropping the sling of barrels downwards. Father Rucker immediately released the lever but the machinery continued its movement for a split second longer, banging one edge of the sling against the deck rail, severely tilting the load and nearly dislodging one barrel into the fiery water below.

Øyvind jumped up into the winch control cabin, scanned the set of levers, pedals, and buttons, then confidently depressed a pedal with his foot while moving the right lever upwards...

Glancing towards the burning shed, you see a flash of dark red. It's a man in long underwear moving amidst the smoke and flames, who picks up one of the unconscious men from the pier and throws him over his shoulder, but then a billowing cloud of smoke envelopes them, blocking your line of sight.

Commander Starkweather reaches the fire station and furiously unfurls the hose onto the deck, all the while yelling at stevedores to assist; most ignored him and continued on their way towards the exit gangway and safety. Starkweather twisted open the valve and immediately grabbed the large brass nozzle, but as the highly pressurized water began flowing through the hose, it shoved him across the deck and to his knees, releasing a spray against the side of the main aftercastle and not towards the fire. It was obvious to everyone watching that he couldn't control the powerful water jet by himself.

"Help me here!" he beckoned to Martin and Vittorio and George, as the hose threatened to whip out of his grasp and snake wildly across the deck.

...and watched as the sling of barrel lurched upwards and slingshotted towards the burning railcar and shed on the pier.

[sblock]DH, please make another operate heavy machinery roll to correct the winch's movement[/sblock]

Martin, Vittorio, and George ... gaze into the hellish red and yellow glow of the fire from the second level of the main aftercastle...

..."Help me here!" James Starkweater beckoned to Martin and Vittorio and George, as the hose threatened to whip out of his grasp and snake wildly across the deck.

Vittorio runs down the ramp towards James Starkweather, into the chaos, all the while muttering something in Italian.

"CAST OFF! CAST OFF!" snaps First Officer Turlow at the crewmembers remaining on deck and the men begin releasing the lines holding the U.S.S. Gabrielle to the pier. Turlow then leaps for the gangplank leading towards the bridge.

You recognize First Officer Turlow from earlier that day

Martin grabs the hose and braces himself against the railing. OOC: Do I need to make a Strength check?
