"Not that suspicious if they opted to pick a fight and get tossed out of Ms. B's Cantina..." the cat replies back with a yawn before he walks out on it's front legs form a sitting position and stretches his back while dragging his back legs before he stares at Rovann.

Rovann stares at the cat below him. If not for the mysterious voice coming out of the animal's collar, he would find it comical that a cat is staring at him with unconcealed scrutiny. ''Hey, I did not start a fight! I was happily minding my own business eating whatever slop was in that cantina and some guy came flying around knocking my food from me. Next thing I know there's this crazy a-hole who tried to stick me with a butter knife! I just defended myself that's all!''

As he said that, he looks closely at the collar on the cat's neck. An idea was forming on his mind, as the bounty hunter mused on whether to do it or not.
OOC:
Can I use my Electronics skill to learn about the collar and maybe interact with it?

Sure but you'll be forfeiting contributing to the Social Conflict challenge by doing so.

Well my Persuasion is low anyway so let's try something else and use something to blackmail that guy to pay us more money ^^
Rovann noticed the make of the collar that was also used as a communicator by ''Mr. Cuddles.'' Having spent many years alone on his farm, he had tinkered with many types of electronics from watering mechanisms for his and his neighbor's farms, fixing broken holo sets and communicators. this one looks like a model he has encountered before. if he is lucky and with just a little tinkering he could bypass a switch located somewhere inside the collar not only revealing the communications signal but tracking down where it is emanating from. '' Well, let's see if we can convince you otherwise...'' he said with omnitool in one hand while the other is scratching the underside of the cat's neck.

is this the part where I get to use those bennies?

Only if you want to. Either way.

OOC:
Ok I'm gonna use a Benny...do you reroll again including the wild dice or just roll one d6?
Aug 4, 2021 6:29 pm
OOC:
Using a benny means you reroll the entire roll if there was penalties or bonuses they would still apply. So both d6 take the best result.

OOC:
Okay using a benny to reroll the 1s
OOC:
Ha Finally!

Nice!
Loki raises an eyebrow as he watches Rovann pull his multitool and get closer only to have his eyes glaze over. "Well I don't need my claws clipped right now, do you have a thing for cats?" Slim and Jelar notice all the guards already have out guns pointed at Rovann who seems to be having a moment.

Remnant sent a note to mormegil
The cat winks at Rovann and licks his face with a paw lazily.

"Well I have a dead man who was found hanging on the razor wire of the perimeter fence. I didn't have a lot of info on the situation that's why I need an investigation while others keep working on site. Was it just an accident? Is it a murder? If so I want to know why. Ultimately is someone trying to mess with my business. That's the job to figure it out." states finally to the others leaving Rovann to ponder.

'Well that's more like it. That we can work with. Slim says, happy not to be going into this situation blindly.
Aug 5, 2021 3:22 pm
Rovann had a look on his face that is a mix of emotions: part surprise, part awe with a little dash of fear. Whatever he found while tinkering on that cat's collar, cemented the belief that this Loki is not to be trifled with. And if he promises for payment then he is good for it. Jelar and Slim gave Rovann an incredulous and questioning look. He replied with his own that says ''I'll tell you about it later''.

Okay so how much are we getting paid for this thing? He asked the cat grooming itself at his feet.

End of Social Conflict: 1 Token so more info, One insight into Loki Tech I guess for Rovann. Moving things along to progress the story.
The trio get a transmission with the agreed upon job and the location of the shuttle on the station to take out to the asteroid processing farm which has the destination preloaded thinking about the phrase Asteroid processing farm seems like a string of words that need explanation outside the scope of the job though. The manifest and fuel levels seem okay and you soon depart with your gear for this 'farm' off of the space station aboard a shuttle. After some time with Jelar behind the helm you realize the outer rim has a lot of dark open space.

Well junk looks like my post didn't take... Trying to remember what I said...
Jelar and Slim's cautious nature has the shuttle moving along the route at a slower pace but oddly enough they pass through an area seeing several small single manned spaceships attempting to hide behind space debris badly. As they putter along they pick up the speed realizing they've moved through an ambush with their ambushers taken by surprise.

OOC:
A Chase has started you need to be five units of distance traveled ahead of the sleeping in space ambushers.

Drakis2 can roll piloting to see if you'll get a card for a turn to do something on that turn Slim and Rovann will have an opportunity to do something depending on the card or what's going on. TN is 4, raises mean extra cards you'll likely want the higher value unless it's a club... X)

Jelar pushes the ship faster, trying to use the debris for cover

Pulls a card. Actually i'm suppose to pull 5. So the crew is on 9 of diamond, and since the ambushers fail to notice they're on the back most card this round and not moving till round 2.

Chase End Condition: Have four card spaces between you and the Space Bushwhackers who were trying to ambush you but haven't noticed you speed by yet.

I figure pilot would want to move forward or Change Position, moving one slot is free, rolling as an action would be at +2 but not enough of a result to move two spaces (You would have needed a raise).

Jelar moves to put distance and obstacles between the shuttle and the possible attackers, maybe they won't notice.
[ +- ] The Chase
OOC:
Anyone want to do something to try and give a boost to his next roll? Whatever you come up with le me know it'll be at -2 though.
