"It is indeed important, but unfortunately there are only a handful of us and the farseeing technique is far too taxing for us to make repeated attempts to gain visions. As such we must prioritize our goals and choose whether we wish to have some amongst us refrain from seeking a vision now so that they may instead do so at a later time, or not.One thing worth considering is the best avenue by which we might confront the pirates. Determining that would likely indicate to us what information we first need to seek. Let's consider our options for a moment. The pirates command possibly more than five heavily armed and armored corvettes capable of sub-orbital bombardment. We will have one light transport vessel. It would seem unwise to attempt and confront the pirates directly during their raid. Although we might be able to lay in ambush and even best their raiding party once they disembark to collect their spoils, there's little we could do to best the remaining vessels flying overhead. They in turn could retaliate by bombarding the surface.For similar reasons, I find it unlikely that we'd be able to safely approach their base in our transport, even if we knew where it was. The pirates would likely detect us during our approach and engage us long before we could enter their base."Reaching the library doors, Lorem leads the group into the building's interior as the crown of foliage surrounding his head begins to condense and drop limply to take on the appearance of a tangle of dreadlock-like vines. Walking up to the main information desk, the young padawan quickly scans a viewscreen to determine whether their data transmission had arrived from the Farnost system yet."It seems to me that what we need is a means by which we can safely reach the inner sanctum of the pirates' base undetected so that we may covertly investigate their operation and either offer their leadership the terms of a diplomatic compromise or force their surrender outright. One possibility I propose is, assuming we can learn the time and place of their next attack, that we hide ourselves inside cargo containers on site and simply wait for the pirates to load us onto their vessels and transport us to their base. I doubt they would anticipate such a tactic since they wouldn't have reason to believe anyone can identify their intended target ahead of time.Our priority would thus be to seek a vision of a raid that has yet to occur. Unfortunately, the future is fluid and difficult to perceive. I may be able to do so, though to increase my chances I'd propose that both Yeshua and Anariel enter a farseeing trance with me in hopes of helping me to draw a clear vision from the force." (Vision of the future DC 25, Lorem's Farseeing skill +11, taking 10 along with Yeshua and Anariel attempting to aid another, each for an additional +2, for a total of 25. Success!)"Voda, on the other hand, can focus on seeking a vision of the force-user or users in an attempt to learn more about them. That is merely a vision of the present, so I believe our dear krevaaki is up to the challenge. What do you all think?"</blockquote>
