Federation Commander

[OOC] How do you want to rule if Captain Jack has a panic attack? [/OOC]

"oh no!" sighs Captain Jack...

[OOC] is the astro-navigation station being manned? [/OOC]

[GM fiat ruling: Captain Jack has done enough hacking, that Muankaal had engineering set up a special makeshift console that has a subset of sensor and communications displays on it. The helmsman doubles as an astrogator on this ship ...

[OOC] is the astro-navigation station being manned? [/OOC]

As if on cue... the ship suddenly shudders. You all independently experience a sinking feeling... almost like a weird sort of car sickness.

...

Muankaal looks up at the view screen. It's reveals a shimmering maze of glass shard that warp themselves like the aurora borealis. "By the gods ...

"We could, but trust me, that nebular is bad, bad news... spacial anomalies like nothing you've ever seen. We must be cautious." announces Captain Jack.

[The data you have looks like navigation data and cargo manifest type stuff, but it will take time and expertise to validate it properly.]

Muankaal finally completes his conversation with Zorg. He cuts the comm-link and does a face palm. "I swear, that man has the be the most obnoxious cretin in ...

End of Captain Jacks hacking challenge... unless there is anything else you want to try. Muankaal and Captain Zorg are negotiating furiously-- you might still have some time!

[OOC] Woot! [/OOC]

Captain Jack covers his tracks, and disconnects. Time to look over what he retrieved for anything ...

Okay... another secret roll... this time against programming. [GM rolls dice behind screen.] Okay that is your third action.

You do see an innocuous looking logging mechanism, though... it probably just goes to a massive file that nobody reads and that gets wiped once a week. A computer programming roll (not hacking) will allow you to obfuscate it enough to cover your tracks.

Captain Zorg and Muankaal hash out the ...

So... there are passages A, B, and C. You can examine one or more of them for traps, choose a passage and breeze through in total disregard for potential traps, or you can try something else.

(The ship has basted off.)

@Jack--

Muankaal has his communications officer signal the Orion Light Raider. "Well, Captain Zorg. It's been such a pleasure doing business with you, I wanted discuss our next exchange. What's it going to be this time...? UIM modules...? Type IV Drones...? Maybe photon ...

Captain Jack ponders that a second... "I believe I can, let's do it!"

[OOC] Question: Klingon or Orion competitor? [/OOC]

Captain Jack gets a wicked smile and says... "Depends... Depends on how much you're willing to pay and how long I have to get in and out..."

Being the sometimes nosy navigator, Captain Jack tries to find out "where are we going next?"

[OOC] does that mean that marcus gets a new disadvantage? I'm back, btw... [/OOC]
