What could cause triolic radiation from our reactor? This is not my area of study, as you may have guessed.

"It's not clear, Captain. Triolic radiation is a very rare phenomenon. Starfleet reactors should not produce it as a product or byproduct."
He tries his scanner, the ships scanner, if he can get it to operate. On a whim, with his hand held he tries scanning for biological signatures.

OOC:
use one momentum to get information: 'Why is the reactor giving off triolic radiation?'
May 16, 2017 7:20 am
Looking at the scanner, Nosim sees some strange readings. It could be liveforms, you're not sure. Now that you think about it, the radiation signature has variances that look like they could come from something alive. But there is nothing there to see. It's as if you are indirectly observing a strange lifeform. You cross reference this with the data from the reactor, and see the same pattern. It's as if something, or someone, is sucking the energy out of the reactor.
Party momentum 5/6
Analyzing the data to find out what this "potential lifeform" is is a Timed, Extended Task with a Progress of 10 and a Magnitude of 4, and Resistance Soak of 4, with a Difficulty of 4.
Each Task towards the Extended Task has an Increment of 30 minutes. If you get to the Science Lab you may enlist the scientists to assist the you in this analysis. For every four Scientists involved, each Effect rolled ignores 1 Resistance Soak. As long as Mosa is involved, each Effect rolled also adds +1 to the Progress generated.
OOC:
Good guess on the whim. The strange "might be life" phenomenon looks related to the radiation. You're fairly certain that there is something alive here that you can't see. Party momentum 5/6

"Captain, I'm sensing possible life form readings related to the radiation. I need to model this data and have the computer perform some iterative analytics -- put the AI to work. Mosa, can you please assist? If only there were a science lab near by where we could tie multiple processors into a neural network...are there any data scientists on the station that could help?"
After hearing that the science lab is near by, Nosim and Mosa move quickly to that location, enlisting the help of the scientists there.
"I'm streaming the data readings from the reactor and the sun into the network. I'd like you to construct a geospatial predictive model -- start with a multilayered decision tree, then combine that with multinomial logistic regression with clustering. We're attempting to examine the phenomenon as if it had the complexities of a living organism. Here, I'll show you..."
Clearly wearing his values on his sleeve "understands technology better than people" & "young prodigy", Codral begins the investigation.

[ +- ] Results
OOC:
He'd like to use reason 12 + science 4, with a focus of analysis. He's going to borrow two momentum for two more d20s.OOC:
four successes, completing the first task. 5[CD], 1+science skill 4; 4 Soak, -1 Soak per effect because of 4 scientistsOOC:
total of 4, two effects, so ignore two soak, so 2 progress + 1 progress per effect with Mosa's help = 4 progress; does not appear to be a breakthroughOOC:
is this anywhere near correct?!? And do we have to deal with 4 soak for each task attempted? Is there any way you'd grant an additional point of progress for playing to his values, pretty please? If not, do I have to declare adding a Threat point before the roll, or can I do it after?Last edited May 24, 2017 3:46 am

OOC:
The science lab is in the upper levels, I'm afraid. Assuming you do what you can from here, so no reduction in soak. Skill and focus is ok. Use of value would be ok, but re-reading the 1.36 rules, it now costs determination to invoke it (you can either get an extra d20 that has rolled a 1, reduce difficulty by 1, make an extra task in the same amount of time or create an advantage). So results: I count 4 successes, 4 progress, 4 soak, which means no progress made. You can always move up to the science lab (which might take some time), use determination, or have Sumek assist. And yes, I do believe you have to declare use of threat or determination before rolling.
Party momentum 3/6
Dr. Mosa sighs and looks up from the engineering terminal. "I'm having trouble getting to the source of this. Should we move up to the science labs? My team should be able to help, and we have better equipment there. We might also be able to cross reference with the historical data from the star."

OOC:
aahh...fair enough! probably need to go to the lab As long as Mosa is involved, each Effect rolled also adds +1 to the Progress generated.
does this give us two more progress, one for each effect?
May 30, 2017 6:47 am
OOC:
Yes, yes it does. Sorry for that, totally blanked on it. Progress on the extended task is 2/10, magnitude, soak and difficulty is still 4 May 30, 2017 1:01 pm
Captain Sumek will assist, following his own logic and whatever direction Nosim provides.
OOC:
Using a momentum to add an extra die to the roll, Reason+Science looks to be a target of 14...OOC:
So only 1 success, not entirely sure what else he needs to roll with that....Last edited May 30, 2017 1:02 pm

Jiral breathes a sigh of relief and wipes some sweat and grime from his forehead.
He's stable for now, but he needs serious medical attention or he's probably not waking up.
Only now does Jiral take in the level of death and destruction he saw during his brief run in the scorched ruins of the command center with the burnt remains of the station crew members that were less fortunate than Commander Johansson. Sabin's eyes flash with anger and frustration as he snaps his gaze on Paja. Involuntarily, he projects a flash of hostility as he rushes towards her threateningly and shouts, "If you had ANYTHING to do with this, I swear I will.."
He's cut off by Commander Reiter who, reacting to the projected flash of hostility, jumps up to intercept the enraged security officer. "STAND DOWN, LIEUTENANT COMMANDER!" he yells into Sabin's face, a bit more aggressively than he intended.
Jiral stares hard into Reiter's face for several seconds. Then gradually his anger subsides. Sabin takes a deep breath, exhales, and then looks away, somewhat embarrassed at his outburst. "I apologize, sir," he says contritely, "It won't happen again."
"Good," Reiter says, visibly relaxing back into his normal friendly disposition. "Now, let's put out this fire and see if we can figure out what the hell happened here."
Reiter and Jiral search for a way to put out the fire, perhaps by evacuating the oxygen from the command center or restarting the fire suppression systems. Jiral is also continuing to keep a mental watch on Paja.

The nausicans step protectively in front of Paja, who gives Jiral a furious glare.
You notice again that the station has regained some power, and manage to access the emergency fire suppression system from a console in the hallway. Power levels are low, very little is coming out of main engineering, but you manage to route enough over to the fire suppression system to put out the fires in the command center.
Looking over the scene of destruction, you assume it will take some time for the ambient temperature to drop to comfortable levels in there, and most the consoles and equipment looks salvageable. But at least the fire won't be spreading.
Meanwhile, Paja turns her back on you and stomps down a connecting corridor, her entourage in tow.

OOC:
Dramasailor: I'm afraid assistance only allows for 1d20, so I'm discounting the secondary rolls, and I'll assume it was for the roll cmbrian already made (so you're free to either move to the labs or try again from main engineering). In any case, the party momentum is still 2/6

Reiter watches the Orion leave with some trepidation. "I suspect she's up to no good -- but there's not a lot we can do unless we want to restrain her -- and we don't really have the manpower to do that." He looks down at the station commander. "I'm hesitant to move him..."
Tapping his badge he says, "Computer. What's the situation in medical?"

The computer replies immediately. "Medical facilities in the science lab operational. Minimal damage to non-essensial systems due to an overload in the eps system."
Jun 4, 2017 10:01 pm
Reiter nods, "Can we effect an emergency transport of Commander Johansson to the medical facilities, Computer?"
Jun 5, 2017 7:24 pm
"Transporters are offline. Power restricted to essential systems and main engineering."
Jun 7, 2017 3:41 am
"Naturally." He looks down, trying to establish if physically moving the Commander is a better option than leaving him here and getting the transporters up and running to move him more safely.

Only if you want to generate momentum (remember there is still a danger of complications if you do). He's stable enough for moving.Jun 8, 2017 3:45 am
"Well if he's in bad shape -- our first order of business should be to get him to medical -- give me a hand here, Jiral... Computer -- in the mean time, please keep an eye out on the Orion captain and alert us if she appears to head into a restricted space."
