Episode 0: The Rescue at Xerxes 4

If you inspect the datapad you will find you have most of the spare parts necessary to repair the shuttle. You can scavange for the rest (a new extended task/obstacle) There aren't any more arms here though, only 5 type I phasers.

PC Remarks
Presence 12 / Command 4
Advisor - to Patil and the task of identifying the cause of the outbreak
-Intent is to motivate and fcus Patil using the Advisor Talent
-What is the required roll?

Curing the devolution is a challenge with multiple stages, the first stage is to identify the cause. Identifying the cause of the devolution is an Obstacle with a Progress of 8 and a Magnitude of 2, requiring Reason + Science Tasks with a Difficulty of 3.


Scavanging the remaining parts is an Obstacle with a Progress of 13 and a Magnitude of 3, with a Difficulty of 4 for each Task to overcome it. Main task: Reason + Engineering, other alternatives: Reason + Conn and Control + Science. (or anything else you can get to make sense)


Gathering speciments for the Irumodic Syndrome is another challenge. Dr. Shipps notes specify three different types of local flora and fauna that is needed. You will have to venture deeper into the wilderness to retrieve them:

This is a Challenge, with a minimum of six Tasks. These tasks are split into two types – locating samples, and collecting samples. Locating a sample requires an Empathy or Reason + Science Task with a Difficulty of 2, with success allowing that sample to be collected. Collecting a sample requires a Bravery or Control + Science Task with a Difficulty of 3. Once three samples have been collected, the Challenge is complete.

Alrighty, trying to scavenge stuff. Reason + Conn = TN 14. Using a determination to buy a 1 for 2 successes and a momentum for an extra d20. She's applying her value of To Fly the Ship, Know the Ship. So if she succeeds, she would end up gaining an extra momentum.

Post Roll
OK, so, Phenna has a Conn focus of Shuttlecraft. Since this is for parts for their shuttle, the d20 rolls ended up with all three at or below the focus for the task, which would make each 2 successes.
Determination = 2 Successes
Roll = 6 Successes
Total = 8 Successes

With a difficulty of 4, that gives me 4 Momentum, +1 from my value for a gain of +5 Momentum?
If the focus doesn't work, it would be a total of 5 successes, which gives a +1 Momentum or +2 with the value.

CD = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
So 5 points there (1, 2, and 2 effects for 1+1+1+2).

Which means we have 1 breakthrough on the whole thing?

Correct. You have +5 momentum, 1/2 breakthrough and 5/8 progress in the scavanging challenge. 3 more progress is required to finish the Obstacle. Well done using the Values, think we may have forgotten them so far.

Edit: As you've probably noticed, there is nothing stopping you from splitting the party and pursuing multiple tasks at the same time

---I'll finish post later this evening---

Convincing Dr. Shipp that she and Dr. Jasper needs to be constrained is a Difficulty 1 Task. - It's reasonable, but hard for her to accept.

You need to first locate, then collect 3 samples.
Locating a sample requires an Empathy or Reason + Science Task with a Difficulty of 2. If you succeed you may try to collect the sample.
Collecting a sample requires a Bravery or Control + Science Task with a Difficulty of 3. Once three samples have been collected, the Challenge is complete.

So, basically you have to alternate between locating and collecting samples. Any of you may do any of them, complications means bad stuff happens. No time constraints that limit the number of checks a character can make.
