Event Type: Mission, Campaign Objective
Power Cost: 0
Participants: 3
Timeslots: Mid Evening

Description: Jace wants a recon mission, but given the terrain movement on the ground against an entrenched ally is a dangerous proposition so he sends in a transport to get a site analysis; a dangerous mission but one that is needed if they plan to break the defenses and attack the temple in force.

Rules: One player is the pilot, one player will need to work sensors, and the third will need to assess the gathered data to build a data map.

The first roll goes to the Pilot, they need to make a Piloting Planetary check at Average with a setback due to the tight confines to make a low approach through the trees and then next it goes to the sensor and data gathering team. Failure on this increases the difficulty for the sensor and data gathering team.

Working the Sensors: The player working the sensors need to make a Hard Computers check with a setback for terrain density as they work to scan the temple.

Assess the Data: The player gathering the data needs to figure out how to utilize that info for the Strike Force. They need to make a Warfare check at Average difficulty.

Once both of the rolls are done the Pilot makes another Piloting Planetary check at Average, with a setback, and again if failed the next checks are increased by one. The Sensor and Data Gathering team needs to accrue a total of ten successes between the two of them to get successes, but can only make three passes before they have to fall back, essentially they have six total rolls, and three pilot rolls which do not count to the success total, to get 10 successes.

Every success counts towards the two between the two players. Triumph adds an additional success and Despair subtracts a success. Two advantage can be used to grant a boost and two threat grant a setback, as normal.

Destiny Points: GM will spend a total of 7 Destiny, 1 for the first Pilot roll and six more for the computer and data gatherer checks each round.

Rewards/Outcome: Republic Victory will grant them 8 Victory points.

Trust Modified: N/A
Power Modified: 8 Power gained.
Duty Gained: 10

It wasn't his ship. That's what he kept telling himself as he tried to stabilize along the path, but it wasn't happening.

"Stupid Republic ships.." Nudimsu managed to keep it steady for a few moments, but it wasn't enough. "Sorry, it's going to take me a minute to get used to this ship. I'm going to try to keep her as stable as I can; just make do with what I can give you." It wasn't the most ideal of situations, but despite any of the problems he had going with him, the Chiss managed to keep the transport from crashing into something long enough to give them a steady chance at success.

D8 Total Recon Pilot (Planetary) Check #1: 3eP+1eA+1eB+1eC+1eD 0 successes, 6 advantage, 1 Despair


((All 6 advantages spent to give 2 boost to Computer roller and 1 boost to Warfare roller))

Usually, when one was trying to operate sensors, the pilot would make an effort to not throw one to the side in the middle of the process. However, ze hadn't served with groups that shall not be named for fear of them finding ze again without learning a thing here or there about 'making it work'.

Stabilizing ze's self into the chair with the air of someone who'd done this before, R4 saw this as something of an audition or a proving of skills. If ze wanted a job and to get as far away from ze's former owners as droidly possible, this was ze's shot.

(Flipping one destiny pip for this roll. )

Using the sensors computer roll, flipping one pip: 2eA+3eP+3eB+1eC+3eD+1eS 5 successes, 2 advantage



And ze took it. The computers sang to ze's chips and gave forth their information. Spitting it out at top speed to Tra Kize, feeling confident that the old soldier would have no trouble understanding them and coping with a tense situation.

(5 success, 2 advantage, 1 boost going to Tra Kize)

Tra, shaken up a bit by the rough ride, took stock of the data. In addition to putting stuff together for the strike teams upcoming operation, he noticed weather patterns in their current situation and identified potential prime targets for the sensor operator. It was a lot of good data.

"R40XY, there seems to be something of interest 50 meters to the right on the edge of your last scan. Nudimsu, the wind speed is picking up, so try to compensate for that." The data was all being sorted, labeled and marked for importance with efficiency on his terminal.

D8 ME, Total Recon, Assess the Data 1, Average, +1 difficulty from pilot, upgrade difficulty from destiny, 3 boost from pilot, computers, and trust: 2eP+2eA+3eB+1eC+2eD 2 successes, 4 advantage


+1 boost for Piloting, +1 boost for Computers

Running Total: 7 successes

"Roger, factoring in adjustments now." Nudimsu begins to adjust for the wind variance, not really sure why he didn't factor that in while piloting this bulky excuse for a transport ship. Even a brilliant mind can miss the small details. Still, that seemingly did the trick as he adjusted his course to meet the needs of the wind variance. "Good eye on you, sir." He focused his attention to the stability of the ship to the ground and the trees, eventually proving the two with a smoother ride on this stretch of land.

"All ready for your scans."

D8 Total Recon Pilot (Planetary) Check #2: 3eP+1eA+1eB+2eD 1 success, 3 advantage


((+1 Boost to the droid))

2nd Sensors check, +1 boost from Nudi and 1 from Tra: 3eA+2eP+3eB+2eD+1eC+1eS 5 successes, 1 Triumph



Maybe it was all of the Shah-tezh they had been playing or perhaps it was simply that R4 was utterly focused on proving zeself. Whatever it was, ze's chips were sharp and moving faster than ever. For a brief moment, ze thought ze might almost understand something of what the Garth had been speaking of about instinct. Ze's ports skimmed through the data, picking only the best pieces and speaking them in rapid fire binary. Passing the data off, ze let a brief exhalation of cooled air out of ze's ports. Perhaps things were starting to work out now.

Watching as the data just continues to flow in, Tra's mind goes from analysis to concern for exit. "We've got more than we need. I'll sort all this out on the way back. Go ahead and return to base Nudimsu."

As he says that he double checks for immediate danger in the collected data. Seeing none, he begins working the data over in a much more methodical and slow manner.

"Good job folks. This is a boon indeed. You're skills are extremely impressive R40XY."

Running Total: 13 successes

"Roger that, excellent work everyone." He begins to veer the bulky ship over, adjusting the wind and began to gain altitude and hit the thrusters to speed off before anyone was the wiser. "I agree. The droid deserves a oil bath when we return."

Droids could not feel emotion, but this one felt a certain sense of appreciation for ze's creator in this moment. *It has been many cycles since I have had a proper oil bath. If one is to be found, I will not gainsay your generosity.*

To Tra, ze says, *I am as I was made, but perhaps not as I was intended. Your praise is...appreciated.*
