Fenris blush a little at the reproach. A mistake on his part not knowing the competencies of his team members. "Right" is his only reply.
Then he starts looking down the corridor to asses the way ahead of them to the Stellar Cartography and remembering the layout of an Oberth-class starship.
OOC:
Do we know which way to go?
May 4, 2023 6:28 pm
OOC:
2 successes give you 2 Momentum since it's a D0. I've added that to the total below. :)
With a closer inspection, and up close tricorder readings, you are able to determine that the crewmembers before you were killed sometime in the last week during a fighting withdrawal to the shuttlebay. Indications from both the bodies and the blast marks on the walls are that the wounds and damage were caused by Romulan disruptors.
OOC:
I'm assuming heading to Stellar Cartography after examining the area, correct?

Momentum: 4
Threat: 10
Directives:
* Starfleet's Prime Directive is in place
* Recover the missing Oberth-class starship U.S.S. Alcubierre.
* Prevent Starfleet technology from falling into enemy hands.

Traits in Play
Subspace Interference: Sensor scans and communications are severely disrupted by the Subspace Interference being generated from the Alcubierre.
Subspace Interference (away team): Combadges will not work due to this interference. Tricorders only function on people and objects within Reach (arm’s length of a Player Character).
Emergency Lighting: This Trait increases the Difficulty by 1 for ranged weapon attacks and Tasks to observe or identify characters or objects at Medium range and beyond.
Disabled: Most ship systems are offline. This affects turbolifts, doors, transporters, sensors, communications, replicators, warp and impulse engines. Life-support and other vital functions are operational via auxiliary power.

OOC:
Yes after the examination. I just wanted to know if we know which way to go.
May 4, 2023 9:11 pm
Phaser once again drawn, Dak takes point in leading the team towards stellar cartography alert for an ambush or other hostiles in the corridors.
May 5, 2023 1:41 am
Chuck will flank Dax, covering him as they proceed toward stellar cartography.

Act II - The Survivor

The corridors are dimly lit from the glow of the red emergency lighting. Ahead, you find three more dead Starfleet officers. You recognize them from the mission briefing. This is Captain Kelly, his first officer Commander Dandrik, and chief of security, Lieutenant T’Lau. As you examine their bodies, a disruptor blast scorches the wall beside you. You look up and see four Romulans at the other end of the corridor.
OOC:
And we have conflict! :) In this case, I'm spending 2 threat to Escalate and give the Romulans Disruptor Rifles. (see the Combat thread for details on how to handle combat. )

In this Conflict encounter, the Player Characters take the first Turn, and it is up to you who goes first.

During a Turn in a Conflict, a Player Character can attempt one Minor Action and one Task. After the character completes his or her Turn, the action passes to the opposing side. However, the Player may spend two Momentum to instead pass the action to another Player Character. This is called Keep the Initiative, but the Players cannot Keep the Initiative again until the Romulans have taken a turn of their own.

Momentum: 3 *(New Act/Scene, lower Momentum by one)*
Threat: 8
Directives:
* Starfleet's Prime Directive is in place
* Recover the missing Oberth-class starship U.S.S. Alcubierre.
* Prevent Starfleet technology from falling into enemy hands.

At the disrupter blast, Fenris instinctively ducks for cover in a nook at the wall. Romulans, here? Could they be responsible for this carnage? There must be alternatives to fighting.

"Sieze fire." He shouts in his most commanding tone. "There is no need for violence. We have no intentions of hostility, though we do outnumber you. Sieze fire and let us talk." he insists, hoping to make the Romulans realize the fruitlessness and futility of picking a fight with the Starfleet team.
OOC:
Using Presence (10)+Command(4) with focus diplomacy and spending one point of momentum for an extra d20 as I'm hoping this will save us from combat.
If Reason is a better attribute it is the same value(10).

Rolls

Presence 10 + command 4 with focus - (3d20)

(62011) = 37

T'rissa pulls out her weapon and readies it waiting to see what the Romulans do. She looks at their disruptors and the edge of her mouth twists up.

"It seems unlikely that they desire to communicate," She says to Fenris, "they have left quite the trail of Starfleet corpses in their wake."
Jun 4, 2023 9:54 pm
For a moment, the Romulans appear to pause, and whispered quick, sharp exclamations can be heard before one yells back. "One of us is worth many more than you. it is we who outnumber you that way!" The woman followed up her threat with a disruptor blast and that prompted the others to fire as well. Because of the positioning however, the blasts splash against the walls, leaving holes and burn marks that show the are trying to kill, not capture.
OOC:
Die rolling is being wonky, but I'm letting it happen based on that one roll below. :)
Your turn. Remember, you have to decide if firing Lethal or Non-Lethal. if Lethal, it adds one Threat for each Lethal shot.

Chuck takes a second you aim, and then fires on stun, as well.

T'rissa's and Chuck's fire hit two of the romulans square in the chest, and they drop. The other two quickly drag them back into the jeffries tube where the sounds of boots on rungs echo for a moment before disappearing. Minutes pass, and no sign of them returning.
OOC:
What do you do? Continue on to Stellar Cartography or something else?

Threat: 8

As soon as he is convinced the Romulans have retreated, Fenris takes a look down the corridor.
"I say we use the opportunity to press on and get to the Stellar Cartography beforethey get a chance to regroup."
Jun 16, 2023 9:34 pm
"Yes sir," Tate says, and checks his weapon, then covers the opening to the jeffries tube while the others make their way.
Jun 17, 2023 12:22 am
T'rissa follows the others making sure to pick up the Romulan disruptors as they pass.

"No point in letting them rearm themselves." She says.
Jun 17, 2023 1:03 am
Nevark follows along with the crew.

The remainder of the trip to Stellar Cartography is fortunately uneventful. As you reach it, The door to stellar cartography is half-open. Inside, a young Starfleet engineer sits at the controls.

https://i.imgur.com/CqfCOXMs.png
A star chart of known space flickers on the large spherical screen. But soon the screen fills with static and then goes dark.

"Almost had it that time," the engineer says to himself. He then notices you and exclaims, "You made it! Boy am I glad to see you."
Momentum: 3 *(New Act/Scene, lower Momentum by one)*
Threat: 8
Directives:
* Starfleet's Prime Directive is in place

Fenris who had expected this to be a more standard rescue situation with a rescuee in distress is momentarily taken aback by the calmness of the scene.

"Officer. What the status report?" Fenris inquiries using thestarfleet protocol procedure when meeting a fellow officer in a possibly hostile and unsecure environment.
He makes a mental note to further inquire into what the engineer almost "had".
Jun 24, 2023 5:30 am
T'rissa, a pilot by trade, looks at the information on the screens of stellar cartography and attempts to puzzle out what exactly it is that the engineer is up to.
