Gullerg bav Khebloss's page

Tira sits up in her bed, looking dizzy for a moment before huffing and standing up. She places a hand on Gullerg's forearm for balance. "I have a lab, not so different from the one you are used to. It is configured for biology, but the consoles can be reconfigured easily enough. I'll take you. And before you say anything about how I am too sick, it doesn't matter how sick I am if we can't get this thing under control."

Gullerg can't avoid but smile, as he wanted Tira to join him. He makes his best effort to help her stand and walk.

Gullerg excuses himself from Tira, and stands at attention at the captain's orders.
"Aye captain!"
He can't avoid looking at his hands, waiting to see cables and metal parts starting to sprout from his skin.
He doesn't like the idea.
He goes back to Tira.
"Tira, do you know a good place for me to work? With equipment and sensors? I think this situation calls for us to commandeer the best infrastructure, and recruit the best people we can find on the planet."

On my part, I feel like Gullerg didn't got some follow up to his post, see his last post.

Yes, you would think so...

Me too

For my part I feel somewhat left out.

"No, Gullerg. I came here to get away from all of that. Here there is just work. A neverending array of plant and insect life."

Gullerg is incapable of hiding his relief at hearing her answer.

Gullerg huffs, unsure of why isn't everyone alarmed about the filaments.
"Tira, I am glad to see you. Besides the sickness, how have you been?"
He is unable to restrain himself.
"Did you get married? Did you had children?"

How did the metallic filaments get there, did they grow inside her?
Can the metallic filaments be removed? How?
The filaments generate power, draw power, or are passive?
On the other hand, can Gullerg use his Obtain Information Momentum? What does he need to roll?
Incisive Scrutiny Talent You have a knack for finding weak spots in arguments, theories, and machines alike to glean information from them, learning about things by how they respond to pressure against vulnerable points. When you succeed at a Task using Control or Insight, you gain one bonus Momentum, which may only be used for the Obtain Information Momentum Spend.

Gullerg huffs, not liking that metal piece.
"I don't know. Let me check it."
He gets out his tricorder and analyzes it.
Rolling Insight (9) + Science(3) again.

Gullerg Roll (12): 2d20 ⇒ (12, 9) = 21

Does Gullerg gets something out of his rolls? Or just that?
Does Tira answer him?

Gullerg takes her hand and nods at her.
"I'll get your doctors a bottle of the best Andorian Whisky I can find! I am so glad you are fine!"
When he notices the silver line he examines it.
"Tira, what is this?"
In case a roll is needed, how about Insight (9) + Science(3)?
Gullerg Roll (12): 2d20 ⇒ (6, 12) = 18

Gullerg gets pale as a Ghost, and approach her without worrying about getting infected. He gets next to her and takes her hand.
"Tira! You are sick! How do you feel? What have the doctors tell you?"

Thanks. Let's say Gullerg remembers her from a long time ago, and he might be mistaken/forgotten important information or be right on the spot. You know, you think you ended with her in the best of terms, and she loathes you. Or vice-versa. What he remembers is:
She is a Xenobiologist.
He almost married her.
She didn't want to have a long-distance relationship and dumped him when he left for Starfleet.
Maybe Gullerg doesn't accept it, but even as he have had some relationships, they have been shallow and quick. She was the one for him, and he had never forgotten her.
Personality Traits (that he thinks):
- Brave
- Stubborn
- Puts her head over her heart.
Now... is she sick? Or does she seems healthy?

When seeing Sobek and the away team, Gullerg calls Aytthi.
"Captain, permission to join the away team? I would like to help the Tellerite colonists if able."

Gullerg talks to the captain.
"Captain, I will go to the transport room to supervise the transfer of the supplies, if it is ok with you."
If allowed, we will go mumbling on his way curses towards the Orion's, taking advantage of the Tellerite suffering for their benefit.

Gullerg feels very emotional at the sight of the Tellerite world. He hopes they are in time to minimize the suffering of the colonists.

Gullerg will transport the Nausicaan onboard so the captain can interrogate him.
Control+Engineering Task assisted by ship Sensors+Engineering.
Gullerg's Control 10 + Engineering 4 = 14
Ship's Sensors 8 + Engineering 3 = 11
I think his Technical Expertise Talent applies: Whenever you attempt a Task assisted by the ship’s Computers or Sensors, you may re-roll one d20 (which may be the ship’s die).
Gullerg's dice (14): 2d20 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10
Ships's dice (11): 1d20 ⇒ 9

To give assistance, of course. I love to be federation!

Gullerg tries to get more power from the engines, to be ready if that is needed.
"Team Delta, align the plasma conduits. Team Gamma, ready to monitor and control the core."
Gullerg will do POWER MANAGEMENT: The officer reroutes power
from various systems, replenishing reserves or freeing up power for other uses. This requires a Daring or Control + Engineering Task with a Difficulty of 2, which can Succeed at Cost. On success, the ship gains one point of Power, plus one additional Power per Momentum spent (Repeatable), which may exceed its normal maximum. Complications should represent power being removed from particular systems, increasing the Difficulty of future Tasks, or removing options until systems are repowered.
he will use his A Little More Power Talent: Whenever you succeed at an Engineering Task aboard your own ship, you may spend one Momentum to regain one spent Power.
I think his Power systems focus applies.
Control 10 + Engineering 4 = 14.
Gullerg Roll (14): 2d20 ⇒ (5, 13) = 18
Not enough... Can he spend a momentum to reroll? Or does he gets a ship roll?

Is there something Gullerg can do to help?

Gullerg goes to the bridge and restores power.

Gullerg lets out an expletive not fit for a Starfleet officer. Without another word, he leaves the transporter room and goes to start with the repairs, together with his boys.
I think he can start with the "Restore Minor Action". What does he needs to roll?

Only one guest for now...

Gullerg will move with Sobek and his security team, and when they are ready, and the ship is in position, he will inform the bridge.
"Captain, we are ready for transporting a guest."
When the captain gives the go-ahead, Gullerg will transport the target he considers most probable to be the captain of the ship, based of the layout of ships he knows about.
Assuming you are in a transporter room bringing something from the freighter onto your ship (its shields are down, so no problem there) it will be a Difficulty 2 Control+Engineering Task assisted by ship Sensors+Engineering.
Gullerg's Control 10 + Engineering 4 = 14
Ship's Sensors 8 + Engineering 3 = 11
I think his [b]Technical Expertise[b] Talent applies: Whenever you attempt a Task assisted by the ship’s Computers or Sensors, you may re-roll one d20 (which may be the ship’s die).
Gullerg's dice (14): 2d20 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
Ships's dice (11): 1d20 ⇒ 7
I think all of those are successes!

"Captain, that is a disguised ship! This is a trap!"

Gullerg scans the Erie for engine and power status, planning on the repairs his team will need to do to stabilize her.
He has Technical Expertise: Whenever you attempt a Task assisted by the ship’s Computers or Sensors, you may re-roll one d20 (which may be the ship’s die).
Will use Insight 9 + Engineering 4 for the roll.
For the Amity roll, I am using Sensors 8 + Engineering 3.
I think Focus Power Systems applies?
Gullerg Rolls (13): 2d20 ⇒ (5, 18) = 23
Ship Roll (11): 1d20 ⇒ 17
Rerolling for Gullerg.
Gullerg Reroll (13): 1d20 ⇒ 8
2 successes

Gullerg steels himself for whatever comes.

Gullerg makes sure the shields and the transporters are working properly.

Gullerg huffs.
It doesn't matter if it is a trap, or if it will delay their arrival to the sick world. They, as Starfleet, will need to go and check the distress call.

I need to learn the system better. That is my only take.
The game is going fine, thanks.

Gullerg makes "the rounds" (as they are called) by visiting all of the engineering team in its workstations, spending a couple of minutes with each, complimenting them for their effort, and checking their needs and giving them guidance and advice while checking all of the ship systems are in order.
After finishing he will go to the lab to check how the medicine production is going, thinking in all the tellerites that needs it.

Gullerg screams!
"I had just started those! Can you keep those engines alone!"
He quickly proceeds to fix them.
He will do the restore minor action.
I guess is Control 10 + Engineering 4 again, with Focus Power systems applying. He also has:
* A Little More Power: Whenever you succeed at an Engineering Task aboard your own ship, you may spend one Momentum to regain one spent Power.
Does that apply here?
Gullerg Roll (14): 2d20 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5
Nice!
"Captain, the Engines breach has been repaired, I suggest to avoid the Klingons to damage our ship anymore."

I hope that success means we got the engines running at last!

Gullerg shakes his head.
"I am getting too old for this."
He steadies himself and talks to the captain.
"Aye captain!"
He looks at his team.
"No more time for slow or steady. Now it is time for fast"
"You heard the captain boys. Let give the Klingons a surprise!"
Now it's the time to try that "cold start" he has heard so much about.
Control 10 + Engineering 4
I guess his focus keeps applying.
Gullerg Rolls (14): 2d20 ⇒ (16, 12) = 28
Challenge Dice vs Extended Task: 6d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 5, 1, 1) = 24

That's right. The 3 should be 2 Successes. So 3 total, for 1 Momentum. Plus 1 more from the Captain.

You guys can decide if you want to spend that Momentum, but let's hold off on more rolls until K'rist, Sobek, and Xin can post.

Huzza! Can he spend 1 momentum to recude the tim ein half, and keep the other "in reserve"?

Successes come from the Task roll, not the challenge dice. Two Successes from that roll. Challenge dice give you 5=1, 1=1, 2=2, 5=1, 5=1. Total 6 Work. So another Breakthrough. And total Work from both checks of 10.

As he has Focus in those technologies does he gets more succeses with the 3 roll?

Gullerg, go ahead and make another Task check. It could be Control, Daring, or Reason+Engineering, depending on how you want to flavor it. Difficulty 2 this time because the Breakthrough lowered it.

Gullerg cleans some sweat from his forehead. He recites the mantra of the day in his mind.

Nice! There are some things there I could use!

[ooc]You generated 1 Momentum. You can use that Momentum for a few things here. Your check will take two intervals of 5 minutes each. 1 Momentum will reduce that to 5 minutes. Then you attempt a new Task. Or you can spend 1 Momentum to do one more Work. That will total 5, which would give you a Breakthrough. The good thing about a Breakthrough is that it lowers the Difficulty of further Tasks by 1 (so it would be 2 for the next check). Last, you could spend the Momentum to re-roll as many Challenge Dice as you want (you have to take the better roll) So you could re-roll that 3 and 4 for a chance at 1, 2, 5, 6.

Hope that all makes sense. It is complicated.

Quite complicated, but thanks for the help and explanation.

"Aye captain!"

"We have finished the repairs captain. We will proceed to start the Warp Engines. You will have to excuse us if we don't follow the manual to the letter this time, as we are pressed for time."
When he stops talking to the captain, he will assemble the engineering tea.
"Boys, please make me proud. Let's get this lady ready to dance in less than 30 minutes. Remember, slow is steady, steady is sure, sure is fast."
He will move around trying to beat the record time for getting a Warp Drive started.
he has Focus on Warp Field Dynamics, so I hope it helps.
He also has Technical Expertise: Whenever you attempt a Task assisted by the ship’s Computers or Sensors, you may re-roll one d20 (which may be the ship’s die).
Does it apply here?
Control 10 + Engineering 4 I guess.
Gullerg Rolls: 2d20 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10
That is how we roll in the Federation!
"Commander. Xin-Yalix, please assist Beta team, we need those coils warm as fast as possible."

We do. We don't want to say "hello" to the Klingons.

I'm going to hope Gullerg pops in to roll that assist.

Of course!

Nothing to do right now, I think...

"My suspicion is that it is the Amity itself they're after. There are three warships just waiting for us to cross the border. This is the Federation's latest and greatest ship after all."

"Klingon are like us Tellerites. A proud and strong people. What need would they have for a Federation starship? Besides, sabotage and subterfuge is not their style."

Gullerg shakes his head.
"I cannot fathom, for my life, why would somebody do this. It has no reason! Why sabotage the ship? We are a peace mission!"

Even though Xin rolled successfully earlier, narratively it makes sense that Gullerg would be working with him. I'll let you roll an assist with Reason+Engineering to help track down the damaged plasma relays. Might let you generate some Momentum, which is short right now.

Excellent! Thanks for the guidance.

With Xin-Yalix handling the sensor sweep, Gullerg finds himself waiting, again.

Gullerg keeps waiting.

"It seems the intent was to cripple the ship, and not to destroy it, or kill us."
