The Mission

You strip the guards of weapons, and toss the bodies in the back of the truck.

Following the encounter with the Germans Georgi becomes increasingly agitated, swearing under his breath about the Romanian leadership allowing "thugs and vandals" into his homeland. You load up into his lorry to put some distance between you and the killing zone.

He begins to push the lorry harder and faster even as the road becomes rougher, making the ride uncomfortable and jarring. After several hours, and no sign of pursuit, the road begins to climb steeply upwards and the team get a clear glimpse of the mountains rising in the distance, their tops shrouded by dark clouds.

Georgi is explaining that Deva is another thirty miles away when there is a loud crack from under the passenger side of the lorry and it begins to skid, with the rear end sliding around and threatening to tip over. Georgi fights with the wheel to bring the lorry under control. but

Those riding in the back must make an Agility + Athletics test with a difficulty of 1 or take 2 stress as you are thrown around into the piles of scrap metal.

Examining the lorry, it appears that the axle is broken. Georgi indicates that there might be parts to fix the axle in the scrap in the back.

Repairing the axle can be managed using spare parts from the back of the lorry. It is an extended Engineering + Reason test with a magnitude of 3. The three breakthroughs for the task are:
¤ Locating the correct spare parts from the piles in the back of the lorry,
¤ removing the broken section of the axle, and
¤ fitting the new parts.
It is not an easy repair and will take several hours.

Extended Tests
These are the same as combat. Consider each breakthrough to have 5 Stress, which you need to defeat in order to achieve the Breakthrough.

So there are three stress pools to beat, each with 5 Stress.
1) Skill Test : Engineering + Reason vs D1 (one success required to move to step 2)
2) Margin: roll 6d6 (base 4d6 + Dan gains +2 for Reason of 10)

Notes: Dan has spare parts in his Mechanics Tools he can spend before a roll for bonus d20s. The Mechanics Tools will also grant Piercing 1 on the Margin roll (so 5s and 6s rolled will generate bonus successes).
