"No problem Mimli, the secret is safe with us"

***

Viper flatly refuses the handshake, laughs mockingly, and throws her drink at the cheating dog. "I spent the majority of that race looking to get even for the direct attack on our ship, I won't forget in a hurry, you lack class and sportsmanship - you shouldn't be second, you should be disqualified - Amek Na is ten times the sportsman you are."

She walks off to crush beers with Amek Na.

***

"Thanks Mimli, a fascinating mystery - I am certain the Starfinders will solve it and when we do, we will almost certainly take you on the journey"

Viper also thanks the team "A great crew, some of the best minds and best pilots of the Society were out there, and the skills were sharp - I almost wish the Jinsul would come back so we could give them another hiding in space"

Day Job - Lab Technician 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

DocJr - Intimidate Aid 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Engineering 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

The DocJr Virtual Intelligence program starts making uncharacteristically rude comments and shakes a first aid kit menacingly at the other ship.

Viper keeps tinkering away at the ship to get more speed.

Perception AID 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

Viper keeps shouting out trajectories, optimal speeds, and target indications to Gunnz

Viper isn't in the mood for games and chat, more interested in burning holes in the dromada and kobold duo.

pew pew pew!

Viper listens to the conversation "I spent 'a night in night-arch', was purely business though. Got a cool plushie and some Abysshead content"

"I'd go back"

Viper gives Amek-Na a brofist handshake "You'd have stopped for us too. See you for those coldies at the end"

"Thanks for the loan of the toolkit, dust manta took a chunk out"

"Let's get after this distress beacon"

Viper nods to Rani - "Great idea, can you work this end to make sure the cable is well ancohred in and I will get to them and stop them going down the sand-gurgler

Piloting 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41
Viper tears off surprisingly quickly for a jetpack operator and closes the distance between the two vessels!
Sky Jockey Feat

Acrobatics 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36
On landing, she scoots herself into position with blinding speed and precision

Engineering 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36
...before looping the cable into a load-bearing part of the hull!

Dicebot is finally being amazing after that run of horribad luck!

"That's Amek Na and the crew" Viper communicates to the party as she grabs the several hundred feet of titanium-alloy cable and secures it to the Tomcat "When you get within three hundred I will jump across"

Plan - Viper will use her jetpack to fly across and secure the other end of the cable to the stricken vessel

Ahh yeah good point, didn't pick up the sniper weapon being used. :(

GM, I note the ship is 'damaged' not broken, so can we repair it under the normal Engineering rules? Once it is 'broken' it costs us UBPs

Nav 1d20 + 7 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 4 + 2 = 28

@M'Shak - The Hacker specialisation trick attack works even if they don't have any tech so you're fine, the only limitation is - you can’t use this option if stripped of all computerized gear in an area with no computers, it doesn't require them to have any computers etc.

You also need to roll your 4d8 trick damage :)

Viper keeps blasting away, picking her angles and taking her shots.

Viper returns some aggression of her own.

I was more highlighting the interesting point on Take 20, but it does suggest we could logically take 10. So if thats a possibility I'd go that way with Viper and net a 23 base result + any Aid successes. If the DC is higher than that the writer might need to have a bit of a look at the CRB :p

Shift B:
Doc 1d20 ⇒ 4 fail
Verrek Aid TBC
Viper - Take 10 = 23 Nav

"On second thought" Viper redrafts a roster after quickly quizzing people about navigation.

She pulls out her Navigational Kit and sets it up "We can all share the kit, and with the system on this ship we should be able to navigate ok"

There's a new sheet up in the slides that outlines the shifts which are 'one shift on, one shift off' - the penalty is only if they are consecutive.
Navigation is our weak point, but with a +6 off the kit and the ship with a Take 10 on the main we're looking at least a 23, with potentially 2 assists - normal DC to Nav is a 15 so unless the writers are doing silly inflated DCs we should be ok. Interestingly, a lot of the uses of survival specify you can't take 20, Navigation isn't one of them.

Ref 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Viper gets knocked by the spell, and at that moment makes it clear that there will be a reply to the insult that Zwarna will not enjoy.

"Thanks Amek Na, no wonder they win, they fight dirty and get away with it, well that's pretty poor sportsmanship and needs to be stopped"

***

"Rotating pilot shifts, Gunnz, Viper, M'Shak"

Nav checks just = survival?

Computers 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 16 + 2 = 29

Viper decides to check on what systems they do have on this crate "Hopefully this system has more than just video games"

Engineering 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

Viper keeps tinkering away "SO far so good, might have a few more horses in there yet..."

Engineering 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

"Let's have a look at these engines, surely this isn't the limit" Viper rolls out a toolkit and gets busy re-tuning the engine "I'll get my bot to check the fridge" she calls out, now fixated on the machinery.

Computers 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 2 = 24

"Is this thing on?"

Do we have any benchmark DCs? :p

I think we're just sticking with Gunnz as the lead pilot, no real need to swap around - we just keep that role maxed out :)

Viper barrel rolls her eyes at the SMC, "This is no Abysshead"

With all the Top Gun references in this party could it be anything other than something based on the Grumman F14 Tomcat? Do we just go Tomcat?

Pilot 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35

Viper watches the other pilots, "These people are highly predictable, glad this is a joyflight not a dogfight, Jinsul would chew them like toys"

Speed is 1BP x 2, Armour is 2BP, and both computers and nav are 2 each - so speed/armour/navigation then (to avoid getting lost!)

Looks like you will be the lead pilot so you build what you need and we can strap in - you want to go full speed then that’s ok by me, just don’t sail faster than our guardian angels can fly!

2 x Speed Boost, Computers (who cares about Intim?), Nav?

Amek Na

"This is my buddy Cav, good guy, but not up to speed with the local lingo"

"As you say, it's worth a shot - something like this could really turn a fortune around, know much about the other teams? Any bad sportsmanship we should keep an eye out for? If only we could find our own Nurkop Richpick"

Meanwhile, with Amek Na

"Sounds like a stroke of genius, care if we take a look? What do you think about the competition - I reckon some of these teams look like they take it all a bit too seriously and here for glory and not for the love of the game myself..."

Viper wanders over and picks up a can, cracking the seal and necking half of it before saying a word.

[Akitonian]"Nothing better than a cold one on a hot day"

"So, the silt. How do you manage keeping that stuff out of your Mass Airflow Sensors and throwing faults on the engine systems?"

Engineering 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26

Viper knows her hot-headedness gets her in more trouble than he diplomacy skills can get her out of, and steers away from the more impressive guest - steering herself to the work-clothed Hylki

"Maverick? Thought they retired out, now just over at the Academy teaching rookies how not to get their noses wiped by Jinsuul flyboys. Would have been interesting to go head to head and see if the rep meets the hype"

Looks like every Ace Pilot Operative just rocked up :p

"Lab technician" Viper offers, and with the amount of weapon handles jutting out all over the place and sidearms poking out of holsters looks nothing like someone heading off to a lab.

"So based on that, have any tips or suggestions? Is there a list of the other teams?"

"Who is flying this brick?" Viper asks with a slightly irritated tone "I hope wer're not using this thing for the race"

Viper flips through her personal communicator, bored, as a small medical bot (DocJr™) sits beside her plugged into a nearby socket.

Take 20 Culture (+Chip) = DC 40

Sheet needs updating, a touch out of date!

The swaggering space-jock flashes a smile as she enters the room and spots fellow Starfinders. A pair of hip-holstered pistols feature mother-of-pearl grips inlaid with a pair of dice showing the 'one' pips (snake eyes) - her matte black armour bears several snake motifs in a slightly lighter shade, giving the whole a mottled camouflage pattern. She seems to have handles of weapons all over her kit in easy-to-reach locations.

"Viper-6" the Android offers politely "Lab technician"

/dot

Profession (Lab Technician) 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

"Thanks for the adventure, and the healing, nice to be back out of the lab for a while"

Viper lines up "That thing got me good" Viper presents with a pile of bleeding wounds "Who knew being a Lab Tech was such a dangerous job?"

Viper swaps over to her Autopistol and fires a slug at the dragon.

Attack 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 = 15 vs KAC
Damage 2d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5, 6) + 3 + 2 = 16

It looks like Viper is barely up. Has everyone else updated their status either in the header or someplace else I can easily find it?

Yeah I have been doing a great job of absorbing the boss-mob :p

SP 0/49 HP 30/46

Realising she is the single focus of the enemy, Viper decides to get moving and stay mobile to buy time.

Total Deffence.
Move acrobatically to avoid AOO
Acrobatics 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30 vs 15+(1.5xCR)
Draw knife.

Viper goes on the (total) Defence and stands up.

Just checking how far below the dragon I am... is it on the same level as me?

Ahhh ok I'll have to use my other weapon then - all good, I have two pistols for just this circumstance!

"I'll walk it off!"

Viper takes another shot at the Dragon.
