[SFS] PbP Gameday VII - GM Woran's Dreaming of the Future (All 4 Parts) (Full) (Inactive)

Game Master Woran

Slathalin will keep up with Curious.

you said nothing else of interest in that office, but is that door to the north there? Or counting both those offices as one big office?

While exploring Slathalin will keep the whole team updated via his armor's comm unit on locations and anything of note. Even if that report is just coordinates and "nothing to report."

The map puts them as two, but the description counts them as one. So it should just be one big office

Continuing down the corridor you come to the corner where the hallway makes a turn to the north, opening up into a wider storage area.

The storage area contains several storage pods. Peeking inside, you can see each of them contains an android with a red collar around the neck.
Checking the status pad of the computer, Curious determines that opening the pods without the proper wake-up sequence could seriously damage the androids inside. The sequence can most likely keyed into a computer somewhere else in the club.

Assuming a quick take 10 on curious part

"More slaves, eh? This individual does not deserve a gentle touch."

Slathalin will continue exploring with Curious and Saffron.

Into his communicator, "Found a bunch more slaves back here. Gonna keep looking. If trouble arises, don't hold back. This guy deserves it. Spare the android slaves, though."

Damorisovitch waits for news from the rest of his team, and tries not to get himself thrown out. He looks around to see what sort of entertainment that this establishment has to offer... other than tormenting corrupt management, that is.

Rounding the corner, Slathalin, Saffron and Curious see the hallway continue. There is a set of double doors, clearly leading back into the club. On the east side of the hallway, there are four doors.

Damorisovitch finds that entertainment in this club can be had in two ways: Dancing, and drinking. The two raised bars seem quite popular, with the bartenders mixing and throwing drinks, making quite a show of it.

Curious continues to explore with Slathalin and Saffron. Curious notes the pods, keeping a mental note to keep an eye out for the computer that can safely release these android slaves.

In the com unit, "Do not attempt to release any android slaves you might find in statis. That will need to be done from a specific terminal or they will be damaged."

Continue down hallway to eastern 4 doors, opening the first if unlocked.

Updated the map

This office contains several small workstations, a desk, and well-stocked bar. Two doors lie on the western wall, with one clearly being a leftover relic from a previous renovation. A door on the eastern wall is blocked by an open and empty deep-space storage pod. Two doors frame the
northern wall.

Perception!: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Curious walks into the room and looks around.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

"Looks like there's something here." Curious says, as they investigate a control panel hidden behind a painting on the wall.

Slathalin walks up with Curious as they approach the painting. The intent is to stand guard or provide assistance.

Quitely into comm unit: "We found an abandoned office. Curious found something. Investigating now."

Inspecting the panel, Curious thinks that it might give access to the more 'covert' parts of the clubs computer network. But its secured.

You would need a computers check to hack the panel

Saffron cracks her nuckles. ”Let's see what tasty morsels you have for me today...”

A wrist flick spits out a cable Saffron catches and plugs into the clubs port.

Computers!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Saffron's fingers fly over the keyboard, but after a few commands, a notice flashes.

"Username or password incorrect"

the attempt failed, but you can try again

Come on you bastard. Enough of this.

Computers!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

On the second attempt, Saffron hacks the panel.

Saffron is presented with an access screen that allows her to perform actions from a menu.
•Deactivate control collars on androids
•Open the safe
•Activate Theatrical smoke/fog
•Activate Strobe lights on dance floor

These options can be accessed from the panel, or with a bit more hackwork, Safron thinks she can link them to her own datapad (another computers check

Let’s make this mobilfied.

Computers!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Saffron struggles with the panels pairing controls. This is one stubborn piece of hardware!

You failed, but can try again

Grrrrr. Come on you bastard. Enough of this.

Computers!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Come on you bastard. Enough of this.

Computers!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

fort save: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Annoyed, Saffron tries two more times to make a connection between the panel and her pad. After the third time, a surge goes trough the panel, stunning Saffron. For one round

Looks like a hidden countermeasure was triggered at the failed third attempt.

Curious opens the panel, finding the computer terminal they were keeping an eye out for.

To Saffron -- "Want to work together at this?"

Curious then attempts to provide Saffron assistance on some of these checks. If Saffron resists assistance, Curious attempts on their own as well.

I won’t say no to an assist or three!

Saffron can try again, using curious rolls as an assist if she wants to

"Ow! The hell?"

One more time...

Computers!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Finally Saffron makes a connection. Happy too it worked, as she's pretty sure, that if it had failed, she'd get zapped again.

What do you all want to do? There is more to discover, this room has two more doors. There is still the hallway. Use the computer controls? Do something else? I'm all ears.

Saffron taps a few keys on her mobile. A satisfied smirk and a nod at her fellow starfinders follows. "I want to see what's behind the other doors in this hallway. After, let's go hit the dance floor; shall we?"

Saffron walks to the farthest door, peeking around the corner if the hallway turns.

Saffron walks to the end of the hallway. Peeking round the corner, she sees the hallway continue.

Opening the door she's found the staff toilets.

Saffron, Curious and Slathalin can hear commotion from the dance floor.

-----------------------------------------------

Back on the dancefloor, Damorisovitch and Marble hang around, keeping an eye on things. They notice a bit of a commotion. One of the Vesk bounces has one of the android bartenders by the arm. The Vesk looks angry, and the Android looks frightened.

Damorisovitch moves over to the overly aggressive Vesk, ”is there a problem here, tovaritch?” he asks. ”Perhaps you do not need rough handle this poor bartender like this. Zis could be seen as a sign of repression... or even mishandling of workers. Damorisovitch knows that zis is not vat you ver doingk, da?”

diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

The Vesk looks at Damorisovitch. "Please stand back sir. There is a problem with this employee. We're taking it into the back to handle this."

Saffron's head perks up when she hears the commotion. Her fingers tap across her mobile computer pad. "Hee hee...."

She opens the other door in the hallway.

Saffron opens the door to a small break room. A table and chairs fill most of it. A microwave and a coffee machine take up what is left of the small space.

----------------------------------

While Damorisovitch and the guard are engaging in a stare off, the strobe lights and fog machine at the podium suddenly come to life.

Marble and Damorisovitch can make a Fortitude save.

fort save Vesk guard: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

fort save? Whoops!

Damorisovitch Fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Damorisovitch sees spots for a moment, but then his eyes adjust to the light. He can see that the guard in front of him also has no trouble with the light.

Marble Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

"Gah, what, who's did you say was playing tonight?" Marble grumbles as the stage lights up.

"Is that normal?" Damorisovitch asks the guard. "And, again, why are you manhandling that employee?"

He turns to the android and asks, "Are you feeling oppressed?"

fort save android: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

The android is rapidly blinking, clearly blinded by the flashing light.

The Vesk Guard pulls the android a bit further away from Damorisovitch.
"We keep employee issues confidential. Any misdoings will be handled in house. No need to shame this android in public sir. Please seek your sensation elsewhere."

Saffron returns to the first room to inspect the last unopened door, hoping it is an office with a safe....

The last door has a keycard mechanism next to it, but is not locked. Opening the door, Saffron sees a room with several art pieces. Paintings, a vase, a few statues. And a sandstone tablet...

Following Saffron into the room, Slathalin will grab the sandstone tablet.

Speaking into his communication device, "We have the tablet. If we can rid this slaver scum of some of his 'workforce' let's do as much as we can on our way out. Otherwise, mission complete."

He will then walk back out of the room collecting up Saffron and Curious on the way (unless either want to stay/do something).

With the tablet in their possession, Slathalin, Saffron and Curious exit trough the double doors back on to the dancefloor.

fort save Slathalin: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
fort save Saffron: 1d20 ⇒ 11
fort save Curious: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

The moment they open the door, the strobe lights shine in their eyes.

Over the din of the music, they can hear someone shouting.
"There they are! Get them!"
A shot is fired and the dance crown panics.

Due to the panicing crowds, the whole floor counts as dificult terrain.

"Well, gig is up. Let's show these slavers some retribution!"

Slathalin moves forward, and draws his pistol. And due to 0 BAB, that is the extent of his turn.

Damorisovitch takes a stepback from the vesk bouncer, and proclaims, "You are weak willed, a fatal flaw. A true warrior is strong in mind, body, and conviction. Feel the judgement of Damoritosh, slaver!"

Casts mind thrust on yellow.

sonovabeech...ow

Saffron takes in the scene before her realizing once again she has found herself in the midst of thuggery. Looking around, she thinks she can make it to the bar and take cover. It's a risk she must take.

move 30', take cover behind bar; if this is an action, cool; if not she will draw her pistol as her second action

Damorisovitch moves up towards Bodgen, while drawing his tactical spear. "You must be the slaver Damorisovitch has heard so much about." says the priest. "Damorisovitch thinks you are without honor, and will face the scourge of The Grim Commander."

He gathers his power, and unleashes the power of his mind upon Bogden.
