T20: High Law and Low Justice, Part 3

[doghead]

Trelelawiero, Aslan Male.

"Good work everyone. Are we sure that we are full decontaminated? .... yes? Good. If we are clean then shall we get the life support systems on line?"

Force of habit has Trel direct the last question to Ktarle. Once she gives her approval, he says: "Lets do this. One person on start-up. The other two on monitoring."

ooc: not sure who would do what, but they can work it out. Will divide the ship up for monitoring. Upper and lower deck? Primary unit and outlets. Whatever works please.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Ktarle says "Yes, turn it on - This stuff grows fast, on th bad side, if we let it get out of control again, we'll be right back where we started. On the other side, we should see any remains of the stuff growing almost immediately and be able to sterilize the area again. Vyrkris, you start and monitor the unit itself. Trel, you and I will survey the ship for any signs of regrowth. Ready? Go"

Throughout the ship, the climate monitors begin registering an increase in oxygen levels. In a couple minutes, the air should be breathable without aid. Trel and Ktarle don't find anything, but in about two minute or so, Vyrkris comes onto the comm, "Trel? Ktarle, the hunter's stateroom isn't oxygenating as fast as the others - I think some of the stuff might still be alive in there!"

Saanath puts the ship into a roll in order to deny the fighter coverage from the ship and expose the little pest to the SDB's sensors.

"Can we find a course to the gas giant that puts it between us and that bloody pirate ship? Ideally one that will force them to break cover and expose themselves to the SDB if they want to intercept us.

"Refueling with the pirates on our tail would be madness."

"She's moving now - but the planet is still in between us. We've got about fifteen minutes at our current speeds and appraches before that ship has a shot at us." Zaed says.

One of the things a comm officer can do is attempt to listen in on communications between other ships. The other entities you can try to listen in on: two fighters, the SDB, the JohnHenry base, the fighter's mother ship. alternatively, you could also try to jam the SDB's control of the missile they's launched to give a defensive bonus to the Dvonn. Or jam the comm systems of one of the entities listed above.

Bugger bugger bugger, we're gonna get screwed. Big time.
"Right people. Evryone, try to get those fighters down. Jam them, blast them, spit at them whatever. Hopefully that will get the SDB on our side, if not, we'll have have to get into refueling hot. Wich isn't as bad as it sounds, it'll be as difficult for them as for us, and it'll put a lot of mass between them and us, giving us at least some protection..... I hope. We'll be dead if it doesn't."


[OOC this is fun. He's shouting commands, nothing I can do to make you follow 'em, though]

 

[Tonguez]

Tomas seeing the fighter still able to remain with the DVonn determines to target the propulsion system, if he can't blow it up at least he can leave it out there with no wat of keping pace.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Tomas again tracks the fighter in his turret, and this time the beam leaves the fighter drifting in space. With a quick course adjustment by Saanath, the Dvonn leavs it far behind in just a few moments. The elation is short-lived, however, as one of the SDB missiles slams into the aft portion of Dvonn's Command deck. Ruzz'koff is knocked to the ground, and everyone else on the bridge is shaken, but otherwise, everyone seems to be okay. An alarm signals a shipboard fire, but no critical systems are damaged, according to the computer.

 

[Maerdwyn]

A broadcast comes in on an unsecured transmission from the SDB. "Ullemguz, we are analyzing your data and will cease firing on your vessel. It appears we were mistaken regarding the nature of your vessel, and we will comply with all Title One requirements regarding offering aid to Vessels in Distress. Make for the base, we'll do what we can for you. Junkyard Dog out."

Sense Motive: (Read messages up to the DC you beat)

Spoiler

The concern in the SDB captain's voice seems genuine

15 -

Spoiler

Despite that, his statement that he had been deceived about the nature of the Dvonn was clearly a lie. There is fear and uncertainty in his voice, and it's not fear of the Dvonn.

20 -

Spoiler

The captain is probably trying to cover his ass, though he may have wanted to proceed like this much earlier than he has. His pledge not to fire on Dvonn again will likely be honored.

25 -

Spoiler

He is not acting out of fear, but despite it. He is probably going against his orders, and is likely quite uncertain about how things will proceed if you do go to the base - and if you would make it there at all.

Saanath, male human.

ooc:ooc: Sense Motive 3

Saanath glances around at the others.

"So they worked that out after they launched the missile? And why do they keep calling us Udalda ... whatever. Can't they read the transponder. Someone did check the transponder, right?"

OOC: Sense Motive 16

Trelene hears the message and begins to wonder what could be up. She then starts trying to monitor any transmissions coming from the large ship on the other side of Gelugon directed at the fighters.

"Attempting to monitor comms on our 'friends' out there."
