Kultanien almost shouts her words. "The Green one... finish it off!"

Improved Get'em, spends an RP so everyone gets +2 to hit and damage

attack vs green EAC,IGE: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 2 = 24
F damage,IGE: 3d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1, 4) + 4 + 2 = 15

"Finish off the green one first!" calls out Kultanien.

Improved Get'em, +2 to hit the green

Then seeing Chk'tarish take a nasty hit adds in "Don't worry. We have this..."

Inspiring boost to restore 24 sta to Chk

reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
I assume my deflective reinforcement applies separately to each source of damage, so 46 in total.

Kulananien tumbles down, landing in a heap of rubble.

"Ouch." she mutters, activating her force soles to avoid adding any extra weight to other areas of the structure.

Kultanien eyes up the generator with a suspicious look.

"This looks like your cup of tea Twitch. Be careful... it looks fragile."

engineering(aid): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Kultanien's artificial eyes peer into the gloom, seeing as well as any dwarf or drow. Android darkvision for the win

"Well, with a barrier like that in the way, I don't think there is going to be an ambush inside..."

How recently does the mount of rubble appear? Lots of reasonable sized trees growing on it? Or fresh as?

medicine: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Jopsie is too busy with Alfey to notice anything particular. Kultanien can't help but wonder. When out of earshot of the others she mentions "Eshga seems keen to drop hints about everyone other than her... and doesn't seem as upset as I would imagine she should be over Alfey..."

All for burial here, unless we think being buried so close to the shriek may have .... unfortunate... consequences.

SM #1: 1d20 + 10 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + (1) + 2 = 29
SM #2: 1d20 + 10 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + (4) + 2 = 33 Well, there was only a one in 120 chance of hitting that DC! People are so hard to read

Kultanien eyes up the remaining group, passing her eyes over everyone. That Renvir is so upset is obvious. No overacting there. Of the others though... too hard to tell - at least for the moment.

"Let us give honor to the fallen, though do you think Alfey would want to be buried so close to.... that?" she says, pointing to the Shriek.

per: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Kultanien watches with interest, but her thoughts are also on the others, wondering about their reactions.

"Someone else is out here." she says, looking around.

Pointing to the burn pattern Jospie, tears running down her face says "See the burns... they are almost certainly from a plasma weapon. They are so symmetrical... I doubt an energy burst from the Shriek would look like that." she then peers closer. "And look here..."

She leans forward and extracts a tiny needle from the middle of the wound. "This didn't come from the Shriek either."

medicine: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Kultanien's eyes open wide as she dashes toward the body of Alfey. "Who found them?" she asks.

Also try to work out how long dead.
Jopsie approaches the body and gives it a quick scan.
life science?: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

The golden girl then casts her eye around for who has plasma weapons. She waits for a reply to her first answer before stating clearly. "Alfey was not killed by the shriek."

Kultanien shivvers in the storm, using her body to shelter the unarmoured Jopsie from the heightening chaos and debris. Unfortunately this means she has no time to look for shelter.

bonus of +1 so no chance here of making the survival check.

Shuddering she tries to endure the wrath of the Shriek.

fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
spend 1RP and use improved great fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Through the swarm of rocks and dust she spies a slightly larger rock to provide a small bit of shelter.

deflective reinforcement, DR 5/- which hopefully helps.

Kultanien offers advice. Every now and then it is even helpful. Well, maybe more "then" than "now"

Jopsie is a little more use, providing Twich with some very helpful background information as her lab-coated form peers on with interest. When it comes to programming the probe to deal with the storms magical energy she gently offers to take over from Twich. Better bonus

When it comes to flying the drone in, Kultanien offers to take the controls..

engineering(aid): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
mysticism: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
physical science(aid): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37
piloting: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

"Well, you know what they say... keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. It hardly makes for a comfortable life though, does it?" says Kultanien.

"That might tip our hand a bit early.." suggests Kultanien.

"I suggest we still keep an open mind, but our eyes and ears open for more about her."

Kultanien nods to the warriors words. "Eshga ever talk about prior military experience?" she asks.

Gota take a liberty with Twitch here, to keep us moving

Kultanien takes a quick look at the cybernetic leg. "This isn't really my area of expertise, but I think ..."
engineering(aid): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Jopsie just looks on. "If it were still a real leg, I could help, but I know nothing about cybernetics.."

Twitch however has a +19 bonus

Twitch looks unimpressed with the leg. "Surely it shouldn't be malfunctioning this badly, even here..Just reroute the secondary power and switch to auxilery coms, then activate the servo manually, reboot the flux capacitor and ... really, does nobody read manuals any more?"
engineering: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25

"Well.. perhaps you would at least let this imperialist lapdog give you a hand. You can go back to hating us later on, but for the moment... don't you think we would be stronger working together?"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 18 + (2) + 2 = 30

"Okay team we have this! Just the blue critter left to go"

Improved get'em +2 to hit

attack,IGE vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 = 15
F damage: 3d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2, 2) + 4 = 11

She glances over to see how the others are doing with their creatuers.

I'm also in a post-covid-torpor combined with hectic exam time, so posting a lot shorter and less frequent than I would ideally like.

Oopse, forgot my laser is 3d4 these days.
extra fire if the 21 hit: 1d4 ⇒ 4

"The red one, finish it!"

Improved Get em +2 to hit red
attack vs EAC, IGE: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 = 21
fire damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

"Don't Worry Twitch, you've had worse headaches after an abysshead concert." calls out Kultanien.

She then adds in. "But everyone, focus on that red one..."

* inspiring words, heals 24 on Twitch
* Get'em improved +2 to hit red.

The comment was to the other Starfinders. My understanding was that, the core don't know about their being a traitor.

Kultanien gets a free SM check if someoene is under mental control to try and detect it. Just mentioning it...

]Well away from the party they are travelling with Kultanien asks the others. "What do you think about Eshga? Have you noticed her using her coms unit at all? She has certainly got a hold on Renvir as well..."

She shakes her head. "Or if Alfey is the traitor... fallen into the actual worship of the Dark Hunter rather than striving to best it... Maybe they are just laying a false lead.."

I hate not trusting people

Kultanien joins the others in helping out around the town.

While not built for combat, her android frame is more than capable of helping move heavy stock around a shop. As a bonus she gets a chance to talk with the storekeeper about the last trip that Miyu had into town..
athletics(aid): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

"It was so lucky that we managed to get a lift on that boat. Us couriers have to take what transport we can, and up here... well.. high tech doesn't work so well. Some of the stories I could tell..."
bluff: 1d20 + 18 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 18 + (4) + 2 = 34

"Speaking of which. I am looking for a particular Pahtra. I think they own a shop - any idea who that might be?"
culture: 1d20 + 18 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 18 + (5) + 2 = 44

The next shop on she spots a Pahtra and chats with them for a bit. "Gosh, this place is nice and quiet. Must help having so few vesk around..."
diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 18 + (3) + 2 = 24

When Twitch starts to perform a divination, Jopsie watches with interest, helping to arrange the incense in alignments with the local ley lines.
mysticism a(aid): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

I'll hold off disguise/intimidate/perception and SM checks for the moment to give others a chance to shine as well. This scenario really plays the Kultanien's strengths - so far.

"Don't worry Twitch. It's only a bit of singed fur." smiles Kultanien

"Makes you look rugged and dangerous."

Inspiring words, 24 stam back.

"Don't you worry about the people the liberation front hurt?" asks Kultanien of the surgeon in a quiet moment.
"I mean... it takes two to dance... unless it is one of those complex kasatha numbers..."

Kultanien does her best to try and calm the guests.
"It will be quicker if you don't push. No, don't stop to take a photo, I'm sure the ship cameras will be able to provide you excellent footage."
diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 18 + (2) + 2 = 37
Not sure if this means being below deck or not.

"Oh![/]b" says Kultanien.

"[b]I guess that is kind of like us. We want to find ways to help as well. Maybe you could suggest some to me?" she adds.

"Miiyu is so busy and takes such a load onto herself.."

SM: 1d20 + 10 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 + (3) + 2 = 23
After the first day of trying to make small-talk with Miiyu's inner circle, Kultanien calls aside the rest of the team. "Us being STarfinders is really inhibiting them. They don't trust the organization, and thus us."

That said, she does try to get some time alone with Eshga. "What is up with you and Renvir?" she asks.
"It looks to me as if he is quite keen on you.."

"Which one gained the lead to this bunker ?" asks Kultanien.

"I would really like to know more about it. "

She thinks for a while. "If the Shriek has a audible component to it, then a trip to witness it first hand would almost count as research for you, wouldn't it? Background sounds?"

"And when you say a military bunker... can I assume it is not one that is currently occupied by elements of the veskarium?" she clarifies.

"That is... it is a former military bunker. If it were a current one, your PLF would surely not long survive a full on confrontation with the veskarium..."

"Who or what occupies the bunker at the moment?" asks Kultanien.

"And how did your contact come to learn of it?"

She sighs. "I hate to be suspicious, but doesn't this sound a little... convenient?"

"Our position with the Veskarium is... complicated." smiles Kultanien, offering a diplomatic conclusion to the sentence.

"Thank you so much for the invitation Miiyu. I know you have fans all over the Pact worlds. And the concern was certainly a great event to attend."

She beams a smile at the bodyguard. "And nobody said you *needed* any help at all. But help can be appreciated even when not strictly speaking being needed. I'm Kultanien by the way. " she adds, extending a golden hand.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 18 + (4) + 2 = 33

Image link seems to be blocked.

"Hey, Twitch, can you make it look like I have a holy aura and wings?" asks Kultanien.

Kultanien rises into the air her arms outstretched. Slowly she walks above the crowd toward the singing pahtra.

"Beautiful!"

Using my force soles mk II. If she has just sung Wanna be an Angel, hopefully this might get her attention!

"I particularly liked the crispy seaweed" notes Kultanien.
"The texture was most unusual."

-=-=-=-

Heading toward the local music media outlet, Kultanien eyes up a poster of Miyu, waiting until another fan comes by.

"So cool! I heard she might be on planet..."

diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 18 + (2) + 2 = 41

Kultanien takes a patch and applies gives it to Jopsie, who applies it to the middle of her finely sculptured back.

"Oh... it tickles!"

Kultanien does likewise. "Will I need one for myself?" she asks Ixthia. "Are there any reported issues with android bodies malfunctioning? Or do our souls protect them?"

"Well... I certainly hope we are not caught up too much in these troubles." sighs the golden diplomat.

"Vesk-6 is a planet that has borne the brunt of military conquest at the hands of the Veskarium. While it boasts a few large cities, most of the populace lives in settlements no larger than small towns. The population is predominantly pahtra. These indigenous pahtras typically refer to their planet by its pre-conquest name, Pulonis. Military occupation of the planet continues to this day. While the vesk maintain their position as the ruling class, the planet has become more multicultural with the passage of time." she starts.

"Now, from what I have heard, Miiyu is one of several leaders of the Pulonis Liberation Front, an organization that aims to restore pahtra rule over the planet, and she has been working to eject the group’s more zealous and extremist members. Her actions of late have borne fruit, as more citizens of the planet have become sympathetic to the liberation cause. She hopes to use her pop star fame as a springboard for influencing positive cultural change. Her last album, Information High, sold extremely well across the Veskarium. Let us hope none of those evicted members bear a grudge" she continues.

"Outside of the urban areas on Vesk-6 are numerous uninhabited regions, a result of past military bombardment. The planet’s uninhabited regions include the irradiated Holy Lands, where great cities once stood. As a result of the planet’s strong magnetosphere, most technology common to the Pact Worlds doesn’t function. Many scientists theorize that the magnetosphere’s strength may be connected to the Shriek, a particularly brutal storm which rages perpetually and is thought to be partially magical in origin." She turns to Ixthia. "Can you detail any more the type of technology we are likely to see malfunction? Weapons, armor? Computers?"

"I learned that several expelled members of the Pulonis Liberation Front have begun to form their own organizations. Rumors across the datasphere speculate that unknown backers who hope to destabilize relations between the pahtra and vesk are funding these extremist splinter groups. No one knows how many extremists remain in the PLF. Oh my, this could get nasty."

Kultanien eyes up Yarameh with interest.
must: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
A previously unnoticed lab-coat and heavily bespeckled woman steps forward and whispers in Kultaniens ears.

The golden androids eyes widen a little

"I suppose your, ahh, concerts.. must be quiet the.. event." smiles Kultanien. "Let me introduce Josie here. She is my personal assistant and doctor of... well... lots of technical areas."

The lab-coat wearing woman blushes and says nothing.

Kultanin, in spite of not really needing food, partakes of the delicacies offered. In her experience, meals are a time for diplomacy and discussion as much and possibly more so, than a place to satisfy apetites.

I messed up. I played 3-11 on a different character. Not done 4-06 at all.

"Are we not aligned with the Veskarium?" asks the golden android.

"Working behind their backs and against their interests seems a poor way to maintain good relations with such a powerful empire..." she adds, her voice giving not a hint of disapproval, just a dispassionate comment.

Waiting for an answer she will then add "Can you tell us more about this "cover" mission. Is it a real survey we will be undertaking at the same time?"

dotty.

A lovely golden android joins the crew embarking on the Stride.

"Missions to the veskarium are always so... interesting."

Oh, didn't do day job.
Guess I'll T10 for a 33

Kultanien asks "Can we pass by the candle room we used earlier, or should we snuff out the candle in private?"

I've updated mine as well. It actually wasn't too out of date.
