Saanath, male human Merchant
--- The Bridge ---
Saanath keeps himself busy by plotting coordinates, vectors and velocities for the various vessels and programming in alerts should those change. He also works through the various passive sensor options, feeding the data to a file attached to each vessel. He includes the asteroid and its launch as well.

Saanath is practicing really. His T/Astronavigation and T/Sensor skills are fairly basic. Getting in some training time. Will probably up them at next level.

Response to Massena -
"I wouldn't expect resistance from the murdered, sir, but the murderer is indeed still on board. However, there has been no sign of this killing being someone prone to direct physical violence. The killer is discrete and a bit indirect. I don't know that more than an armed party is necessary to secure the ship, so long as you're careful to watch everyone."
Ruzz'koff studies the patterns of response he's seeing in the Coronel, trying to get a feel for whether the ship is really going to quarters or conducting some sort of drill.
(sense motive check, feel free to roll for me).
He's also very interested in the inexplicable asteroid and tug. He'll spend some time trying to scan that a bit more carefully and make some sense of what's up.
(roll whatever skill check you'd like for me.)

Ktarle watches the others on the bridge, and lets her eyes scan the monitors. Her whiskers twitch a little as she hears the exchange betwen Ruzz'koff and the Coronel, awaiting Ruzz'koff's assessment of the situation. As the exchange continues, she says quietly to Saanath, "Do you think there is anything I should convey to the passengers - or should we just let the Navy handle them when they board?" To herself she thinks, Two jumps in three months - my first starship voyages in five years and both end with naval boarding parties. Basic science research is looking better all the time.
Edit: oops misread the background stuff and thought we'd gone with the lockdown option for some reason. edited to fix.

Tuan, Gwydion:
You play for a few hours, no one is really getting ahead and the games are coming out pretty even. All the yuppies bar Malico are watching the local equivalent of Blomberg, some with more interest than others. A few of them, Govindra Ishage and Maxine Zdrac, are devouring each entry on the ticker like they are junkies coming out of a weeks worth of cold turkey; which in all fairness is pretty much exactly what they are.
<Must have data in real time>
Malico doesn't appear to care that much, largely concentrating on the game, though he glances across occassionaly.
Ruzz'koff:
Your intuition suggests that the Massena is doing this principally for the benefit of the K'kree. As the Lashing Tail will have at least some crew on board their sensors will be manned and if there is something important going on, he will want it disguised.
Of course it's also possible that Massena also adopts the same approach to random drills at inconvenient times that you do...
[Sblock]
Massena isn't sure whether to believe you or not, but he's not going to take any chances
It's also fair to say that he is very bored and any break from routine is interesting. He's doesn't come across as slapdash or careless by any strech of the matter, it's more a pragmatic, "this might be something, it might not, either way it's way more interesting than just sitting here orbiting a planet"[/sblock]
Saanath, Ruzzkoff:
The shuttle is an 100 ton Iiken class Scout/Courier, a less advanced fore-runner of the Suleiman that's the Imperial workhorse. It's reactor is running, but it doesn't seem to be doing much; it could be just in a nightcycle or it could be waiting for something. Either way it is no threat to the Vyrkris unless it's been substanitially rebuilt - and there is no sign of that.
Ktarle, Ruzz'koff, Saanath:
Massena comes back on screen as soon as Ruzz'koff's last transmission reaches him, "Um, say again please Vyrkris, "You do not expect any resistance from the deceased"? Stand by, I'm handing you over to Lt De Paolo on our gig."

Saanath turns to Ktarle.
"I wouldn't say anything to the passengers. I don't think there are going to be any fireworks. But I also think we should let the Navy deal with this when they get here. Besides, watching their reactions might be elightening.
"It will certainly be entertaining."
Saanath checks that his sensors and monitoring programs are running fine. He turns to Ruzz'koff.
"We have a few hours. Perhaps it would be an idea to convey to the passengers that communications will remain restricted until the authorities arrive. We did say we would be handing this over to the authorities once we got in system. But no need to mention the Navy I would think.
"Do you want me to do it?"

Tuan sucks his teeth in frustration after loosing yet another hand. "You play well, Malico. I'll grant you that."
"And you, you big lump," he says, jabbing his finger in Gwydion's direction. "You're just lucky."
OOC: If he doesn't already have it in his pocket (and though I haven't said so, he pretty much always does), he retrieves the stealthstick from his quarters and keeps it handy (and concealed). He's half expecting some trouble when it becomes obvious that they're being boarded by the Navy. He's playing it cool, though: Bluff +13. He's also keeping the game casual, losing just to keep things going (by now Tuan should have a pretty good sense of Malico's skill level. Is he in Tuan's league? [Gamble +14]).

Ruzz'koff mutes his mike. "These guys are obviously a bit distracted. First he asks if we expect any trouble from the murdered -- as if the dead body were going to give him trouble. I try to clarify with him that that the killer might be a problem, but the victim will not, and he's still asking if the deceased is going to put up a fight. I don't like this at all.
"Hit those scanners again, hard. Something isn't right here."
He keys his mike again. "Lt. De Paolo, have you been briefed regarding our situation?"
