Sure. I mean it's a standard shuttle and it is part of the standard kit & caboodle of the Belfast.

Per the Core book, Challenge dice are as follows in a normal d6:

See, I apparently missed that chart. Thank you.

Just to get things straight in my head, I have a couple of questions. There is a scene I would like to have with Cheng and Ylis before we reach this world, but not if the trip was less than a day.

• How long after we boarded were we given the mission briefing?
• How long after the mission briefing did we reach this wonderful world?

It was less than a day, call it a couple hours at medium warp.

Gotcha, so really close to the Starbase. Now I have a better understanding regarding the use of just a shuttle by the scientists.

Repair team: I have retconned the extended task into an effective difficulty 4 task. I realized there wasn't a time constraint on the task and thus it was a poor candidate for an extended check.

   Just a note: my weekend's gotten a little more convoluted than I'd planned - I'll work out something to post on Monday.

   Sorry for the inconvenience.

Okay, before we respond, I need to actually know if there are any parts we need. Last I knew the shuttle was good to fly, but it was the storm and being shot down again that were the concerns. I don't want to say we don't need parts if we do, but the impression I got was that we should be fine.

Right now it is seeming that our best bet is just to raise shields and wait for the storm to pass possibly shifting the shuttle every so often to keep it less buried, but never so far off the ground that it might get damaged if it goes down again.

Understandable.

I would suggest barely lifting off, then firing the shuttle's phasers on lowest power/widest dispersion to melt the snow, then settle back down again. We can also take this up IC if you'd like to discuss.

Correct no additional parts are needed as you passed your check.

mini update to bide time while we wait for others...

I will post by morning. Had a family emergency. Been device free for several days. I am sorry for any delay I have caused my other playerss

no worries. This game is moving at a pretty good clip.

Also as the comms have been severed I've isolated the two groups.  You can assume that you were kept appraised so Garrity's group would know that Timor and T'Saen repaired the shuttle while Timor and T'saen would know that the rest of the team found the scientists (dead) and a tunnel going underground.

Gentle reminder to T’saen and Timor...

Hi, sorry for the delay! Can I get a quick clarification please? You wrote



Do you mean we'll need to fire up the thrusters when this happens, or that it's snowing, and hey you guys, the proximity sensor just went off, you might want to check that?

Quick question: Are both of these affecting Lt. Garrity's party?



Because with the blurred faceplate the Doctor has, the Difficulty will be 4, and I'll need both my Value and some help from Mr. ch'Zynes to make head or tails of this technology. (I'm also considering using a point of Determination to get started).

EDIT: I'm guessing that Garrity's Teamwork! will lower the difficulty to 3.

Oops! I forgot to remove the subspace scans and replace it with the new trait: Ancient Insulation...

lol why didn't anyone tell me I mixed up my trackers :P

Oh yeah, I guess that's what happened. <_<

   I'm not usually one to point out mistakes and such - some GM's get right out upset over having things pointed out to them. But if you're asking for help in spotting mistakes ...

Cheng: Teamwork! - -1 difficulty to one task

 - Think that this should be from Garrity, as he's posted this before. (Unless Cheng has it as well, then my bad).

Garrity granted that to all of us. I haven't used it yet.

Correct. Everyone has used their bonus but Cheng.

GM, can I get a read on this please so I can get a post up and keep us moving forward?
