Al 2O3's page

Folks, I really hate to do this...but I think I'm going to have to bow out.

Things in RL are just moving at such a haphazard pace for me right now - I haven't even been able to get more than 6 hours of sleep in a single go for the last 4 days, and there's no guarantee that won't continue for a bit longer. It's selfish of me to keep saying to myself "I'll get my sheet updated. I'll get posting before the PbP gets too far ahead," at your expense, and so I shall withdraw.

Note - this insane schedule I've got is not because of bad things. It's mostly all good, in fact. Just...insanely busy.

So please accept my apologies for holding you up as much as I have so far, and I hope you have a great game with your fantastic GM (while I will be jealous that I'll have to try to catch this one some other time).

All the best!

Joining you on the shuttle is an android with a rather laid back air about them. They're wearing armor and have some rifles and other weapons that look like they are rarely used, unlike a utilitarian backpack nearly bursting at the seams with rock samples and other field gear. They would have first arrived holding a travel canteen of hot, freshly brewed, coffee-scented synthetic oil in one hand and a data pad in the other. A small ruby-red LED is housed in the android's forehead - right where one might expect to find the metaphysical "third eye" of mystic lore. Following closely behind the android is a harried-looking but sharply-dressed blonde graduate student in her late twenties.

Smiling to each of you upon your first meeting, the android puts the data pad away. "Ah, hello there! You can call me Al...2O3 - Planetary Geologist and Starfinder Mechanic, at your service." After a very brief pause and a gesture to the spacesuit-clad young woman walking just a bit behind them, "Oh, and this is Yang Xiao, my teaching assistant. She asked to come along on a field mission here or there. She can be a rather persuasive speaker, and so here we are!"

Once at our destination (with environmental seals active) Al excitedly digs in to the geological materials laid out before them!

Physical Science: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (17) + 21 = 38

Player Name: Mike B
Character Name: Al 2O3 (as in the mineral formula for corundum)
Character Level: 9
SFS Number: 801-701
Faction: Second Seekers (Ehu Hadif) (...today, at least)
Discord name CanisDirus#6627
Have you Played and/or GMed this scenario before? Like Jim, surprisingly no to both.

Anything weird or tricksy about your character that I should know, especially always-on abilities that give you rolls (like Trap Spotter, etc.)

Al has a Phase Detector and a Radiation Badge on them at all times. They also have an "Invisibility Bypass Processor" that gives them constant "See Invisibility"

Ruby (Al's Exocortex AI) doesn't communicate openly, but is generally always aware of what networks she can connect to. Depending on mission briefing, Al often travels with their teaching assistant, Yang, who handles their student-facing/social interactions for them (Al is an adjunct geology professor).

Apparently I have over 30,000 credits to spend by tomorrow, so the above answer might get more added to it, too.

New question: What is this character's greatest fear or phobia?

Al is terrified of a reality in which magic (or worse, theocratic-influenced magic) sets the rules/laws of nature and hard science/logic can no longer be relied upon. They are wary about Witchwarpers in part because of this.

Apologies - project I thought would be done two days ago only just wrapped up a few minutes ago. I'll get my sheet taken care of after I sleep/awake/eat.

And Al as in "you can call me Al" :P

I need to level my PbP sheet up to match my Roll20 one, but I think I'll be bringing Al, all facts considering.

Thank you for the invite, GM! :)

Wow... I almost never win boons! ^^;

Again, Hmm and everyone - it was really great playing with you!

Al immediately goes to Antoine with the serum of healing they were given by Radaszam. "Medical personnel are likely still engaged in triage of rescued Starfinder agents. I recommend you consume this to help with your current injuries until more time is afforded to us."

After looking around and seeing that the whole team is still standing, Al gives each a nod while heading back to the bridge controls. "Empirically speaking, you are, by several orders of magnitude, the strongest agents I have had the opportunity to work with since being recruited into the society. Assuming we have no more difficulties in preparing this ship for exfiltration, I would happily procure coffee, or another beverage of your choice, for each of you when we return to Absalom Station."

That's Al-speak for "you are all awesome!"

Almost as an afterthought, through their comms, "Yang - the immediate threat is over and telemetry suggests that we will be entering the Drift in the near future. I recommend you get back to grading the recent undergraduate exam on igneous and metamorphic rocks we administered last week."

I just now noticed that part of my previous actions didn't post! Al's move action last round was to reload their rifle, since they only had one round in the current magazine. If that's not okay, just remove the -4 to the first attack below and they'll reload and fire once.

Al will delay until after Sorami acts and Antoine pulls back, giving them a more clear angle of attack. The android doesn't banter, seeing their team-mates so grievously hurt. They take aim and fire as fast as they can at the jinsul!

Hutchket Rifle 1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 18 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Hutchket Rifle 2: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 20 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

If Sorami makes it flat-footed, that might help the attack. Also, if Antoine doesn't move, both of those attacks would be -2 for partial cover.

Al takes a Guarded Step backwards in case the jinsul commander can reach past their allies, as they call out, "I'll try to deal with the weapon - dedicate all other tasks to taking him down!"

Focusing themselves through Ruby's wireless hacking (20 foot range) ability, Al attempts to Overload the jinsul's weapon!

The jinsul ascendant needs to make a DC 18 Reflex Save or their weapon becomes inoperable for 1 round.

Recognizing that they only have one bullet left in their current magazine, Al reloads their rifle while directing Ruby to activate Combat Tracking on the Jinsul Ascendant.

Al grimaces as they are struck twice more, but knows that the carrier has refugees and other Starfinder survivors on board who cannot fight back, so they grit their teeth and continue to send rifle shots at the Red jinsul!

Hutchket Rifle 1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 - 4 + 2 = 19 vs. KAC plus cover
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Hutchket Rifle 2: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 2 - 4 + 2 = 24 vs. KAC plus cover
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Using the token and then passing it to another table sounds good to me!

Al shifts their aim to the closer threat (Purple), firing a full attack to try and push the invader back!

Hutchket Rifle 1: 1d20 + 10 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 4 + 1 = 26 vs. KAC w/cover
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Hutchket Rifle 2: 1d20 + 10 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 4 + 1 = 10 vs. KAC w/cover
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Al reels a bit from the shots and magic that blows past their shielding, but holds their ground against the boarding party. They activate combat tracking on the Red jinsul, then open fire!

Hutchket Rifle: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 = 17 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

CHRONICLE INFORMATION:

Player Name: Mike Bramnik
Character Name: Al2O3
Character Number: 43185-701 (my new #801 isn't in the system yet, alas)
Slotted Faction: Wayfinders

Information for this chronicle sheet:

Number of this Chronicle: 16
Starting XP: 15
Initial Fame: 20
Fame Spent: 0
Credits Spent: 75 Credits (one box of longarm ammo)
Day Job total: 34 Credits (link to roll)

Current Reputation: Society 30, Wayfinders 33, Second Seekers (LE) 5, Dataphiles 2, Exo-Guardians 2, Acquisitives 1

Al activates their energy shield then moves to take a position where they can fire at the attackers when they get closer (assuming we know their position on the map).

Al continues to focus on flying, but tasks their exocortex AI, Ruby, to tap into the ship's systems, finding auxiliary power she can access to add to the expert work Ivok is doing at the engineering controls.

As part of this round, Al spends 1 Resolve Point to activate Enhanced Shield Regeneration:

Once per starship combat, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to push your starship’s shields to the limit. The starship regains a number of Shield Points (SP) equal to the starship tier × your current Wayfinder Reputation Tier. You can assign these SP to any facing, or divide them among any number of facings. A starship can only benefit from this boon once per starship combat encounter.

Ruby will put 18 points into our forward shields.

Next, Al will try to put the Verde into the vulnerable spot behind the jinsul capital ship while also flying evasively!

Piloting - Evade: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20 (DC 19)

(My dice kinda suck lately, but that's still a success!)

Current AC: 23
Current TL: 22

Al will take the team's decision about getting past the orange enemy vessel to heart, and will leverage enhanced computer guidance (ship computer) as well as the boost from Venture Captain Naiaj, as they alter the Drake's thrust nozzles to attempt a fly-by on the jinsul assault craft without exposing their own ship to return fire!

Piloting - Fly By: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 15 + 2 + 4 = 38 (DC 24)

Success!

Al takes and holds a breath before keying the intercom. "I am going to draw power from our drift systems to provide a momentary boost to our sublight engines for maximum closure to our targets before their long-range weaponry can lock on to us.

"Prepare for turbulence."

Piloting Initiative: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

Al will spend a point of Resolve to enact a Full Burn, changing the Drake's speed to 12 and maneuverability to "Turn 4" for this round of combat only. They will then set the thrust vector direct aft and shoot forward past the defensive screen of ships, charging hard towards the enemy's flank!

Al nods at Neon Ten's words and starts their attack run.
"It may be a little rough until we close the distance, but I will do the best that I can."

Al tries some defensive maneuvers while closing in on the enemy ships.

Pilot

Al has their exocortex pull up appropriate music in one of their ears to help them focus on the starship combat that lay before them, and settles into the controls.

Engineer/Science Officer(s) - As a reminder, Al has the "Enhanced Shield Regeneration" boon slotted:

Once per starship combat, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to push your starship’s shields to the limit. The starship regains a number of Shield Points (SP) equal to the starship tier × your current Wayfinder Reputation Tier. You can assign these SP to any facing, or divide them among any number of facings. A starship can only benefit from this boon once per starship combat encounter.

This is a free action, and Al is currently Tier 3 with the Wayfinders, so if you want them to use this, our ship would instantly gain 18 shield points. Just let them know when/if you'd like them to activate this boost.

Since we know this is a combat mission, Al's vote would be for the Drake.

(and I'm glad people chose this mission since I slotted two starship boons!)

Al maintains their position in order to provide as much fire-support as possible. They continue to send rounds down-range at the huge (crimson) plant creature!

Hutchket Rifle 1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 - 4 = 15 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Hutchket Rifle 2: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 - 4 = 17 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

...but probably misses with both shots.

During the three rounds, Al will regain 1 RP as per the overseer's post, and reload their magazines for their rifle.

Al decides not to correct Sev+ on the internal political workings of the society; but internally they make a note to later inquire if Guidance had some way to determine that Jadnura was still alive, perhaps being the reason that Luwazi Elsebo's nomination was never confirmed. Snapping back to the present, Al will activate combat tracking and join Sorami in firing at the largest (huge) of the plant creatures to try and draw it and the others near it away from the evacuees.

Hutchket Rifle 1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 = 29 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Bon jour, Florent! :)

Al doesn't stop to talk since the plant creature is closing on Sorami and Sev+. They drop to one knee (thematically only, heh) and unload with a full attack!

Hutchket Rifle 1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 - 4 = 13 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Hutchket Rifle 2: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 2 - 4 = 23 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Life Science 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Life Science 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Seeing their size and distance, Al opts to stay where they are, activating combat tracking on the light-green (LG for my by-line tracker) plant creature while also turning off their merciful fusion, unsure if plants can be affected by nonlethal damage. They the fire down-range from where they are, letting Ruby's assistance counteract the range!
(Exactly 5 feet outside first range increment, heh)

Hutchket Rifle: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 2 - 2 = 28 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Al will take time to rest (1 RP to recover stamina and reactivate their energy shield capacitors) between missions, and also ask their grad student to acquire a box (25 rounds) of longarm ammo. Depending on their destination, they will also requisition a Rumbler Boomer Rifle from Radaszam's earlier offer.

I remember that we can't use this loaned item in part 4, and our Hangout conversation suggests that we're not too far away from that, so...

(PS - Al still has the Mk 2 healing serum from earlier, which they will load into the first slot of their needler pistol)

Al curses at the predictability of getting slightly overconfident just before being struck! Their energy shield absorbs a fraction of the impact and then shorts out, meaning the bulk of the attack dug into Al's superstructure past their armor!

They wince as they take another guarded step back, firing again in hopes of stopping this foe from pressing their melee attack!

Hutchket Rifle: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

...but in their haste to back away, their shot (likely) goes significantly too high and strikes a fresco on the opposite wall!

(GM: I just realized that I was +2 too high on my last round's attack - I forgot that Al hadn't switched over their combat tracking yet due to the enemy's proximity. If that made the difference between a hit and a miss please feel free to retcon it!)

After all of the attacks either miss or deflect harmlessly off their armor, Al cannot resist the (risky pun) opportunity and speaks to the yellow jinsul as they take a guarded step away... "I wonder what calling your assault 'pedestrian' would be in your native language...eight times as inefficient, perhaps?"

Hutchket Rifle: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 = 25 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Culture: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Culture: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Al will speak into their team's comms; "Be careful of their leg-blades. The one closest to Ivok is the leader and looks significantly more dangerous than the other two!"

Eyes scanning the evolving situation, Al decides to remain where they are, mentally tasking Ruby with activating combat tracking on the jinsul leader, then firing their rifle at them!

Hutchket Rifle: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 2 = 16 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"At least the demon is dealt with...I believe there was a saying on old Golarion that I am glad we do not have to encounter: being between a vrock and a hard place."

(also the funny subtitle of a pfs quest I wrote that's sitting on somebody's floor somewhere)

Al takes a guarded step away from the red demon and fires their rifle at it!

(+2 from get 'em, +1 from Ivok)

Hutchket Rifle: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 30 vs. KAC (red might have cover, though, given our team's positioning)
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

(I think I missed a will save in there, sorry)
Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 (+2 if mind-affecting unless it targets androids)

Al's energy shield absorbs the demon's attack as they move. They activate combat tracking on the black demon (change this to red if it's brought down) before opening fire!

Hutchket Rifle: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 = 25 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 (+2 if it's mind-affecting unless it targets androids)
Mysticism: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Medicine: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Al remains silent in these interactions, not certain but suspecting that trading information with a disembodied voice is not considered a form of data collection that will be accepted by peer-reviewed journals, and will confirm Ivok's findings while thumbing the merciful fusion on their rifle to the "off" position.

Didn't see a piloting roll for the salt flats, just the ramps, so I'll post one :)

Al tries to increase their vehicle's speed to get away from the worm...

Piloting: Speed Up: 1d20 + 15 - 4 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 15 - 4 + 4 = 20 DC 23
(Clearly the vehicle dice just hate me...I don't think Al's gotten higher than a 10 except for that last one that Hmm rolled...)

They fail to pull away, but will still try and fire with their static arc pistol over their shoulder - letting Ruby's tracking assist their aim!

Bot Actions for Al 2O3 and Sev+: Keep driving fast and shoot the super charged weapon.

** spoiler omitted **

** spoiler omitted **

Thanks for botting me. Like I've said in the hangout, I'm not really online much on weekends. Al wouldn't have done the dual-maneuvers thing, but even without the -4, would have failed the speed up check with either of those rolls.

Pronto Pink Punk Piloting Post

Prior to landing, the android professor activates their armor's environmental seals, just in case.

While driving, Al hears Neon Ten's call-out and risks a quick look in the ATV's rear-view mirror, as their grad student Yang starts calling out, "must go faster, must go faster!"

Doing their best to keep calm and collected, Al applies maximum vertical foot pressure to the accelerator!

Piloting: Speed Up: 1d20 + 15 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 15 - 4 - 2 = 16 DC 23

They are unable to coax the vehicle into speeding up to pull away from the creature behind them, however. To help ensure the security of their vehicle and passengers, Al will draw their static arc pistol with its normal stun setting on, and activate Combat Tracking on the sand slitherer.

Al deactivates the elemental weapon fusion as they take aim once again for a full-attack, calmly observing;

"Demon? Hm. A caricature at best, perhaps."

Hutchket Rifle 1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 31 vs. KAC
Critical Piercing Damage: 2d10 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 12 + 4 = 22

Wound Critical Hit Effect
Wound: 1d20 ⇒ 11
DC 17 Reflex Save or Jodain loses an eye (-2 Perception)

Hutchket Rifle 2: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 12 vs. KAC
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13

Although the first shot is aimed (literally) "right between the eyes" - the second is shot extremely wide.

Al will manifest the wings that the Starfinders told the team about, just to see what it's like to experience flight without using their jump-jets. They will also utilize the other technique to make their weapon more electrified (Shock weapon fusion). They will task Ruby with activating Combat Tracking (move action) and will then open fire!

(Modifiers: Combat tracking +2, Get 'em +2, Coordinated shot +1)

Shock Hutchket Rifle: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 17 vs. KAC
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 (Half piercing half electricity)
...likely missing.

Knowing that they won't be able to determine anything more than Neon Ten, Al instead mentally signals Yang to withdraw to a safe distance. The android quickly leverages the technique described to them by Historia-6 to learn this enemy's "DR, resistances, and current HP as a free action".

Edit: Didn't see Neon Ten's edited post before making mine. Questions for the GM - how often can we use these techniques, and what is the action economy of the two non-free-action ones? Thanks very much!

Seeing the sheer size of this opponent, Al has Ruby activate their Energy Shield as a standard action as they move to spread out from the group, drawing their rifle along the way and disengaging the Merciful weapon fusion - a virtual construct such as this is likely to be immune to nonlethal tactics!

Aid Engineering: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29

Yang aid another Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18 (or Bluff/Intim if we're going either of those routes)

To help shake the wayward Starfinders back to the present, Al will pick upon their discussion of Castrovel, focusing on the underlying geology and how that led to the prominence of the formians on that world despite the magical advantages the elves and lashunta had long before the insectoid race's rise to prominence in planetary governance. Al hopes to use this to force the scholars to retrace their educational steps all the way from the minerals of the Pact World system to those of the Scoured Stars.

(Would do more rp but only have a little bit of time to post and don't want to slow everyone else down)

Physical Science: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21
(Bah, bah I say!)

Al takes the coffee mug and inspects its contents. When the answers given do not seem to provide any useful intelligence, the android simply nods and puts it down on the bar, along with a few pieces of hard currency (that Al knows will still be in their pocket when they exit the simulation and so they have no issue "spending" it). They look to their teammates to see what group they wish to approach first.

Computers: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Al looks around to take stock of their surroundings, impressed with the fidelity of the virtual interface and pleased to have all of their equipment. They only engage in sightseeing for a few moments before turning to the bartender, trying to act in as casual of a manner as they can devise.

"Any synthetic coffee-based drinks would be most agreeable. A side-order of information would also significantly increase the likelihood of above-average gratuity and return-customers.

...what can you tell us of this place?"

Meanwhile, they will task their AI, Ruby, with sending a short text message to the rest of the team, informing them of the conclusions Al has already made (i.e. the first spoiler).

Al mentally starts recording as much data as possible regarding the conditions surrounding the 'ghost ship' knowing that they are not the best at socializing with the living...much less a weary crew not entirely of this dimension. They keep their hands on the flight controls, however, just in case evasive maneuvers are called for, or if simply to continue on their path to the next derelict that Sev+ and the others need to scan.

Thanks for botting me...the last 24 hours have been rather bad, and I'm glad I didn't hold up the group by not posting.

Al will remain silent, but will send their grad student a text message to chime in and assist with the current conversation.

Yang will pipe in, adding to the others that she's along as a student and observer, and there is absolutely no way that the society would authorize sending a noncombatant like her out here if the mission in any way involved attacking fellow Starfinders!

Yang (Ally) Aid Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 3 = 28
(Thanks to Ivok for the boon that boosts her roll!)

Understood, thanks!

Al waits until Sev+ indicates that the first collection attempt has been completed, then flies to the next ship in their recommended list (barring orders from their ship's captain or any unexpected events).

Upon completing pre-flight checks, Al adjusts in their seat while having their exocortex block off one of the android's ears, to play music as if using a headphone-earbud. They think about how one of the more recent previous souls who inhabited their hardware-body wrote her dissertation on the use of music as a mnemonic method, and how they themselves applied this research while undergoing flight training. For a change, Al decides against sharing this with their team - the current mission to the Scoured Stars is perhaps not always the best time or place for personal histories or anecdotes. They also make the decision to not share the fact that they have only piloted a starship in armed conflict once - their use of simulations would probably "not count" in the eyes of their peers.

Once everyone reports that they are ready for lift-off, Al will ease the Verde away from its docking clamps and towards Bastiar-7.

Upon hearing Sev+'s analysis as well as Antoine's thoughts, "A logical approach. I will begin my approach once a decision has been made on firing on the indicated debris."

After the gunners (or if the crew decides not to) blow up the two previously-discussed ice chunks, Al will ease the ship towards the first (#1) wreck.

Piloting: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
(Assuming this is enough...)

Noting the positioning of the wrecks, Al will point out, "I believe we can cover the field of derelict vessels more quickly if we start here then move along the inner orbit, circling back to near our starting position."

Al's suggested order: 1 - 3 - 5 - 6 - 8 - 10 - 9 - 7 - 4 - 2

Also, who is in each starship role right now?

Al looks over Neon's projections and nods. "Most astute. Neither ice-object overtly puts the nearby ships at risk of further damage, allowing us both easier passage and more security while scanning. I concur with Neon Ten's assessment."

Just to confirm - you still want Al as pilot?
