I still havent gotten my copy of the boon for this game, but I have for another game that I have GMed. Do you know who I would follow up with about that?
I thought that you rolled for which boon i got (I don't actually know what the boons are). Is that supposed to come via email, or as part of this reporting?
I imagine we haven’t regained abilities from our previous boarding defense?
Astrator moves into the hallway, rifle pulled to his shoulder. Hearing the commotion from down the hallway, and following Alejandro's commands he levels downrange at the first threat to come around the corner
Readied Actions:
Readied action, attack first baddie that comes around the corner
Laser:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18+1 if green Damage:1d8 ⇒ 3
"It appears we will continue to take more damage with each impact than I am able to repair. I would advise alternative courses of action that result in lower risk of hull damage."
I just missed the 6 ranks thing when I was going over my options. Left to choose only one, he probably would have tried to boos the shields after the damage that was suffered... but I'll just do that this time
"Power being diverted to the shields now."
Engineering Phase:
Engineering Check:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Success = 6 more points on the shields
The Android quickly accesses the mainframe of the ship and begins to redistribute power to several different systems. "I require another 6 seconds to redirect this power. I would suggest that we avoid another direct hit during that time. Shaan, if I am successful you will have a little more engine output at your disposal."
Engineering Phase:
Overpower, Spend 1 resolve
Engineering Check, DC18:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Engine= +2 movement
PCU=130 x 0.05 = 6.5
Weapons= All damage rolled as 1 are treated as twos
"I do not believe they are expecting a rapid counter attack. Our highest probability of success is to catch their capital ships unaware and out of position"

Still here! Sorry guys (and thanks for the bot). I am travelling home the next 48 hours, but I will be back to regular posting and RP come tuesday night!
Astrator holds his ground and focuses energy in the circuits around his forehead gem. Reaching out his mechanical hand and three bolts of force leap from his fingers towards the targets in front of him.
I am actually in Ghana doing medical humanitarian work at the moment. I have never been to Tanzania, though it’s on my list (I have been to Africa many times, but never seen any “African” animals).
Thanks GM. I am super abbreviated in my posting at the moment as I am in rural africa for the time being. Once a day posting is all I can really do for right now. Once I am back stateside (next tuesday) I should return to more descriptive posts and I'll get the details you asked for then.
The bluish android looks at his other starfinders. "I am content to use my personal weapon, though I may be of use at a mounted weapon. It would appear our ammunition is in short supply- so we should prioritize their use based on our probability of survival"
Astrator un-shoulders his rifle and begins his maintenance routine to strip and rebuild its component parts.
I am going out of the country for the next 2 weeks, and will have very limited access to internet. I should be able to post once a day, but there may be some days I can't make that happen.
More importantly, the next 48 hours is all travel and will be tough to me to post. Please feel free to bot me as needed.
"I have no intellectual preference for one course of action or another. I would recommend efficiency in travel to reduce downtime- however we accomplish that. Please let me know when my skills are required for the furthering of our mission:"
The Android strides confidently into the library structure, quickly looking around. Finding a functional terminal, Astrator begins to search the computer cache for recent access or other signs of life. Digging deeper, he begins to seek out some information from the local datasphere.
Computer:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
"Starfinders. I believe I have found something of use..."
"It would be a pleasure to ensure efficient travel to our chosen destination. Though it seems like it is not our current choice, I believe that it would be remiss not to proceed to a center of higher education and storage of knowledge. The opportunities for understanding based on the technology level of this long forgotten empire may be incredibly valuable to the pathfinders."
As the figure appears, Astrator leaves the speaking to those who are more elegant in diplomatic pursuits. Instead, he reaches out with his mind and prepares to engage the threat, if determined hostile.
Readied Action: Cast Grease if the lone figure attacks a member of the party
"The highest probability of finding objective answers rests in the remains of the starship graveyard. However, there is a higher likelihood that survivors have found their way to locations of abundant resources and established infrastructure. Under those assumptions City of the Ancients should be the priority for the rescue component of this mission."
"Captain Alejandro. You have lead me well in the past, I trust your intuition in these matters."
A tall, overly mechanical, android approaches the team. His exposed skin is a blueish steel covered in tiny circuitry and electrical currents. Prominent on his forehead is a glowing and pulsating purple gem/orb that changes brightness and hue based on his emotion and situation- it is the only part of his face that appears capable of significant emoting. Slung on his back is an analogue rifle to complement the laser longarm held in his hands.
"I understand that you have been chosen as my tactical companions for this task. While I am a capable pilot, it is probable that others posses superior skill. I am also able to function as a gunner, engineer, or science officer if that provides the organization more flexibility."
"I believe it would be advantageous of me to interact with Historia prior to our departure from this location."
”It would not be prudent to build a hostile relationship with Abadacorp at this juncture. If he is stable and not a flight risk, let’s deliver him to Philt and leave this planet.”
After the attack, the Android looks at the embarrassing state of Talbot.
"Observe your current circumstances. At this moment, it would be most logical to surrender and escape here with your life. Hand over the stone and come quietly."
thank you! though mustachio would probably prefer to stay unconcious rather than to get up, get shot, and then die.
Are we looking at a TPK here?
I don't think so- but in combination with the tight deadline it is going to be a photo finish. He is going to have trouble running (for a bit), and attacks on him while prone are +4... so there is a chance we land 2 shots on him here and end it.
Astrator should also get an AoO at some point, so perhaps that 1d4+0 damage will be what puts him over the top ;)
Pushing off against the ground, Astrator struggles to his feet and reorients himself about the room. Glancing at his rifle on the floor, and back up at the fleeing villian- he opts to give chase.
Move #1: Stand from prone, Move #2: 30 ft movement toward Talbot
Next Round:
Reaching out through the circuit "gem" in his forehead, Astrator taps into the very last of his magical powers to throw a beam of grease at the fugitive- hoping to slow or stop his escape.
Move to keep talot within 30 feet. Cast Grease with Talbot in closest square. If Talbot is already inside 30 ft, Astrator will cast first and approach into melee IF the spell is successful. Reflex DC 15.
System rebooting. Engaging visual sensors. Installing updates.
Astrator's eyes flicker open, for just a moment, as he lays prone on the cave floor. He reaches his arm into his side pouch, pulling out an autoinjector and using it on his leg.
Spend resolve point to gain 1 HP. Action: Move: Draw healing serum. Action, administer healing serum.
Healing Mk1:1d8 ⇒ 4
HP 5/9, SP 0/5, RP 2/5
ForTransparency:
[ooc] GM, I edited the post pretty substantially after I hit send, once I looked at the map and thought I would draw an AoO from yellow. However, looking again- I believe he had a ranged weapon out and I wouldn't have provoked. I am willing to put my original action back if you think that is more fair (cast a spell instead of draw healing serum)- just let me know.
Time slows to a crawl as the miner pulls up his weapon and levels it at the Android. The muzzle flashes, but the room is deathly silent to Astrator. Black takes over his vision and he drops.
Silence.
Mechanical failure. Systems in standby mode.
Spending 1 RP point to stabilize. If I remember the rules right, I can't use "back in the fight" until my next round. RP 3/5
