OOC:
@ Sorrack: Dismantling the memory cores of servers of unknown alien design will be at the very least a 3-point extended check (referee's handbook p.23) with a -10 penalty. This would have resulted in your 77 being a critical failure, but since Sam is helping (see below), it makes it a critical success instead. This will count as 2 successes so far, so you have 1 last check to make.@ Sam: Yes: Helping provides a +10 to the leader's check if your own skill is within 10 points of the leader's (referee's handbook p.23). Despite the size of the servers, electronic components tend to be rather small and delicate, so I declare that only one person can help Sorrack (Sam). Anyone else "helping" can simply choose a different server and attempt their own 3-points extended check.
The dismantling goes really well so far, thanks to Sam's help. For some odd reason, despite the alien nature of the server, to components seem rather intuitive to Sorrack... There is still some work left to do, however.
