"Wow, great work everyone. I really didn't think we were going to make it. Though the worst part was the octopus...."

Thanks Nevynxxx for GMing.

If we have taken hull damage does that mean that system is now glitching? If so and it's a system critical to the combat then Wayf will try to patch it. Otherwise it is time to divert power into the front shield I think.

Mentally activating the fire suppressant systems through the direct interface control rig, Wayf leaps over to the power core controls and starts diverting the auxiliary power build up.

"Hey, that's not fair. Those guys aren't supposed to be able to hurt us are they? Last time I was on a ship that encountered some pirates they were all inebriated. They thought there were two of the ship. Or does alcohol only affect humans in that way? Have any of you tried drinking human alcohol?"

Engineering: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Leaping across the engineering room, Wayf hastily redirects the power flow to overpower the main weapons.
"Going to give you all I can so just make sure it hits, Magnus. I've adjusted the laser wavelength so it has a greater chance of bypassing their shields."

Engineering to divert power to weapons: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Do we need to put more power into the guns or are we wanting the extra movement still?

"...1... this thing can really move. So do we keep on moving or are is this a stand-up fight?"

Assuming that we want to maintain the extra speed...

Wayf continues to divert more power to the engines.
Engineering: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

"I'm reconnecting the auxiliary power coupling and initiating the fusion cascade so you should have maximum power in....3....2...."

Engineering: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

I figure we may need someone in the Engineer role.

Tearing themselves away from the vid-screen view, Wayf focuses on the engineering station.

Assuming nobody else wnats to take it and that Wayf isn't needed elsewhere.

"Make it so!" That's what one captain used to say. Of course, the technomancer on the ship took it literally. That got messy sometimes....

Wayf finishes searching outside the ship and then climbs in to have a look for anything salvageable.

Wayf's muffled voice sounds from behind the helmet. But then the helmet is removed:
"... can get this thing moving again, but by the looks of things it could still be used as a shelter from any more of the storms. I think it will be nice and cosy in there so we would probably all be quite comfortable and happy to be chatting for the duration of a storm. Don't you agree Tofana? Oh yes, definitely slug throwers being used. The shields must have been overloaded and then it was twisting to evade. I might even be able to calculate how many guns and their distribution....."

Wayf disappears round the crashed ship, still talking but not yet realising the communicator has not been switched to broadcast.

Wayf visibly drops out of "combat mode" and now clumsily moves over to the crashed ship to inspect it and find a way to access the computer core.

The dice were not with us in that combat. Glad it is over.

Once confident that the beast will not return, Wayf slings the laser rifle and resumes scanning for any signals from the crashed ship and then moves to examine the laser cannon (assuming Magnus will allow this!)

Wayf remains in position but shifts the rifle to target the creature's head.

Laser rifle: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Wayf tracks the stone that Korskal used to strike the beast and fires at the injury caused by the projectile.
Laser Rifle: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 Fire Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Wayf moves calmly (to D5), bringing the laser rifle up to their shoulder and opens fire on the beast.

Laser Rifle: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

C2 for Wayf

Wayf Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Once again garbed in the black armour and carrying a laser rifle, Wayf takes up a position behind the others and tries to scan for any emergency beacon transmissions.

Using the communications rig to scan for any transmissions. Not sure if that would be a computers skill perhaps?
Computers: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

WayF uses the bulb and follows Magnus' advice.

Reflex+bonus: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 4 = 13
Reflex+bonus: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 4 = 19
Reflex+bonus: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 4 = 24

Wayf will distribute the antitoxin bulbs and get into armour ready for going out on the planet's surface.

With aids that gets to 25.

Wayf starts running a scan to check out the surface conditions and checking for any emergency frequency broadcasts.

"We'll have to be careful on the way back, with these asteroids constantly moving. I'm also setting up a tracking simulation to model them. It's a quick job so something in wireframe where you can also pilot a course. It could be kind of fun to do this with random elements. Maybe call it..... planetoids?"

Computers: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Wayf interfaces with a computer node in Engineering to start calculating asteroid trajectories.

"Like I said, asteroid belts....I have a bad feeling about this."

Is it possible for Wayf to occupy a science officer slot and aid by operating the sensors?
Computers: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

"... and portals to mirror universes or.... uh, what?" Wayf is startled by the question. "No, you were definitely very effective as our pilot but I hope you understand what the odds are of successfully navigating through an asteroid field."

"With piloting starships, what rarely gets mentioned is having to deal with physical and atmospheric conditions. Storms and asteroids need a really good pilot to handle them. And once you are on the planet, well it gets really difficult to know exactly what you will be facing. Poisonous crystals; flesh-eating plants; advanced aliens that think they are gods; primitive cultures that superficially resemble your own planet's historical periods or works of fictions...."

"If you have the time and the opportunity, you might as well perform some miracles," Wayf chatters to Magnus as they set about repairing the ship. "I was told that once by a very wise priest.... er, that is I heard a mystic say it somewhere."

Engineering: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

If Wayf can take 10 on the engineering checks to repair that's 21; then with two aids that would be a DC25.

While reviewing the information on the planet Ulmarid, Wayf will be happily (and chattily) informing the crew of their findings, updating them on the progress of the ship repairs and any modifications being planned.

Wayf will have tried to get any more information from the computer - particularly on what happened in the pirate attack, info about Ulmarid and also information about the design of the Endless Threnody itself.

Wayf attempts to interface with the ship's systems through the inbuilt rig.

Computers: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

"Bridge, This way!" Wayf curtly asserts and strides off deeper into the vessel.

Critical Hit extra damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7 plus Burning for 1d6

Wayf moves and takes a bead on the last skeleton with the laser rifle.

Laser rifle atk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Damage (fire): 1d8 ⇒ 7

Wayf continues to act calmly and methodically, moving up to stand behind Tofana. The laser rifle is pointed over the fellow android's shoulder and fired at the skeleton ahead.

Move to B19 and fire at S5.
Laser rifle: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 161d8 ⇒ 5

If S4 is still standing then Wayf will move and shoot at that skeleton. The roll hit AC14 and did 3 points of fire/laser damage.

Ok.... you are in the loading bay of the ship, and other than Latheera haven't yet moved out of there. Skeletal crew are approaching from three corridors. We have just started round 3. Latheera and the skeletons have acted. I'm waiting for everyone else's actions.... Does that help?

On Feb 28th I posted up an action. Was that my round 2 action? Has it taken place yet and what was the result?

I am a bit lost as to where we are, who has acted and who has rolled already but not yet acted in this round.

Remaining calm and relatively concise, Wayf says over the comlink:

"I do not know. Korskal may have more insight."

I believe Mysticism is the skill to know about the undead.

Wayf tries to communicate directly with Tofana via the comlink.

Wayf calmly moves to have a clear shot target is S3 to help Latheera.
and when the opportunity presents itself, opens fire with the laser rifle.

Laser Rifle: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 141d8 ⇒ 3

Note that that is fire damage from the laser rifle

Wayf waits with machine calm and patience for an opportunity to make use of the superior range of the laser rifle and shoot one of the skeletons.

Ranged attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Wayf silently shifts the laser rifle into a firing position and steps back, next to Korskal.

Initiaitive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Wayf joins the boarding party armed and armoured, casually carrying an azimuth laser rifle and comfortably wearing ceramic black armour resembling an insectoid carapace.

Once Tofana has finished with the terminal, Wayf inspects it in (surprising) silence.

"Wow, a giant space cow! So their fleet should really be called a herd. I had a friend who really liked steak. Do you think space cow steak would be tasty? Or if it was coming from space, maybe it would taste frozen....."

"We could ask them. If there are any life support components, they wouldn't be using them. And if they talk nicely to us, well I could help them out too. Get them moving again. It would be really interesting to see inside their ship. Do you think they grew the hull? What power source do they use? I once heard about these ships that were powered by magic. Somebody sat in a big chair and it drained the spells out of their minds to move the ship through crystal spheres and a river in space......"

"So anybody who wants to enjoy their breathing habit might want to suit up. It's going to take a while to sort out the damage to the life support. And there some damage to other elements. It would be a lot quicker if I could acquire some spare components. They could be scavenged from another vessel."

"..... and they said, 'Well that's how I even out the power fluctuations...' You get it? Great, I think you're the first non-android who has got it Magnus."
