Lin continues to speed down to intercept the hyperdrive engineer. When he gets at the main street which runs parallel to the one currently hosting two sleeping bodyguards and most of the rest of the crew, he sees the mark to his right -- not far, he thinks he can overtake him.
Unfortunately, however, he also sees three squads of stormtroopers, looking like they mean business, descending on the guy. Regardless of whatever security he enjoyed while out and about, it looks like the Empire is serious about keeping this guy under lock and key. The troopers are a good few minutes at their double-time pace away from the mark. The question before Lin is whether or not he can nab the mark and get the mynock out of there before the blasters start flying fast and loose. Stormtroopers aren't likely to use the stun setting.
Akhrirar makes it most of the way down the alley the mark had taken -- another bit and he'll be able to turn the corner. Right now, all he sees is a nondescript alley without much excitement ahead.
Fuzil tsks over the speeder, breaking out a toolset as he gets nearby. Working quickly, Fuzil pushes himself to get the speeder back in better shape -- and gets shocked repeatedly for his lack of caution (favoring speed). He's able to recover 2 system strain on the speeder (taking it to 3) but suffers 2 strain himself to accomplish this.
OOC:
The damage control rule doesn't have rules for additional successes -- so I opted with '3 additional successes = +1 strain' while in a combat/managed scenario. 2 = +1 strain outside combat, but without lots of time to get things ship-shape.
Acaatha works her way over to Mala and the doc hands Acaatha some pills and a flask of water.
OOC:
Strain recovery is wonky in this game. There's no device/mechanism that explicitly heals strain other than time and rest -- or bonuses to medicine rolls. It's weird. Given Mala's success -- I'll say she can help Acaatha recover 2 strain (her Medicine level) - but within an encounter, this ability reduces its benefit on each use, like a stimpack.
