[sblock=ooc]Breaking through security or jury-rigged fixing of equipment is really Mechanics, not Use Computer[/sblock]

Although Wes, with a few comments from the Ensign, tries to hack the controlling computer on the elevator, it becomes apparent quickly that the security would need to be overridden, and that the young Verpine's skills in that area were both impressive, and necessary.

After a few minutes' work, the elevator hummed to life.

[sblock=ooc]
12 on the die + 12 (Storm w/ Security Kit) + 2 = 26 on Use Computer, but it's not really the right skill for the job.
9 on the die + 17 (Xira w/toolkit) = 26 on Mechanics, which is.

Once the controls are overridden the young tech nods to Wes and looks to the others present, "We have bypassed the controls, the elevator is now available to us." The Verpine then quickly puts her tools away and steps aside for the more senior officers to go first, if they wish. "Ready to continue, Ma'am."

[sblock=ooc]Wes is enlisted.

In order of seniority, the PCs are

Lt. Cmdr. Rosa Meridion
Lt. (jg) Storm
Lt. (jg) Zenith Khambatta
Ens. Jace Falcon
Ens. Xiralaz
Gunnery Sgt. Wes Colton

However, Wes is a fairly senior enlisted man, and he's by far the most experienced in ground combat of you.

Also worth noting...

Rosa, as XO, reports only to the Captain (Commander Ariav Cyn), and everyone else on the ship indirectly reports to her
Storm's immediate superior is Lt. (sg) Arial Karan, the tactical officer.
Zenith's is Lt. (sg) Lynial Gellian, the wing commander
Xiralaz reports to Lt. (sg) Saricia Targon, the chief engineer
Wes reports to the commander of the ship's Marine company, who I haven't created yet.
In his combat hat, so does Jace; in his medic role, he also reports to the (also unnamed) chief medical officer.

(OOC - Minor point of confusion...are the PC's currently in two groups, and if so who is in which group? Just so I can make a mental 'map' of sorts until we're all together. )

OOC: No, you're all together.

"Nice work, ma'am, and it's just Gunny or Wes," says Wes to the ensign before he looks Rosa. "Want me on point, XO?"

With his kit stowed and his blaster rifle unslung, the marine scout is awaiting orders.

"I don't really know what's ahead of us, so I would like our best guns first. Go ahead, sergeant," Rosa says to Wes' suggestion.

 

[perrinmiller]

Jace steps forward, "Right behind you Gunny." He unslings his blaster rifle and checks to make sure it's on single fire and the grenade launcher is ready.

Under his breath he says to Wes, "Another glorious day in the Corps, eh? A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal a banquet. Every paycheck a fortune. Every formation a parade. On stack entry, you going left or right?"

 

[Shayuri]

"Let me go first," Zenith suggests quietly. "If there's trouble I can hold them off of you while you shoot."

She grins and glances back. "Or take them from behind if they get past me."

 

[Blackrat]

Storm nods at the plan. I'll guard the commander. He balances the lightsaber hilt in his paw and readies to dart from the elevator if need be.
