Hoth: Blood and Ice

The Bitch had been raised from the hangar despite not being prim and polished. Necessity demanded it. Darth Bellious had other agendas behind the expeditious deployment, but finding a certain someone was close to the top of priorities.

[Let's gather before rolling. The Bitch has 6 spots. 2 are occupied by Moyr and Razzya.]

Meanwhile, finding two people was at the absolute top of Luth's priorities. She dashed over to Bellious' ship without delay in the morning. "Just Zeno left, right?" she asked as she hurried into the ship.

Zeno's shadow, Lady Savagery, reported that he was in his ship as she joined the crew of The Bitch.

Shortly after, Zeno's ship comms sent a connection request to Moyr's. As this was an Imperial built scout ship it was compatible for sharing sensor data. He had already gotten in his ship and was ready to launch when the other ship was ready.

"His disciple is joining my crew." Moyr had said. "We'll take one more if he appears soon enough."

She would use the time to link comms and calibrate sensors with both Nighthawk and Zeno's scout ship.

"Are you ready to find this bonehead and his best pal?" Zeno asks as he makes some adjustments to settings that had been necessary for the storm landing.

"I'm looking forward to knocking their idiot heads together," she said, vehement.

Another one appeared, tall and lean, clearly alien. He was here because he decided to help Darth Bellious of course. The alien was wearing his full enviro-suit, prepared for cold climates.

Luth nodded toward him. "That's the last."

Once in the air, Moyr turned to the Duro. "Driving safety tips were promised, Rumun. Can you take a tour across the Bitch with Razzya and Lady Savagery to spy with your technical eye how the ship is taking this weather?"

The quiet Chiss would explain to Rumun the ship's layout and placement of critical systems.

EM2. Razzya's Valuable Facts Roll. Education to give Triumph to a Mechanics by Rumun. Someone there assists.: 1eP+4eA+1eB+2eD 5 successes, 2 advantage


[Razzya deploys Valuable Facts to Mechanics roll: a Triumph there, 2 Advantage for Boost, Lady Savagery Boost?]

Rumun goes around the ship, inspecting it. Technically speaking, he was no trained mechanic or spacecraft engineer, but he had some basic understanding of how they worked. He was a spacecraft enthusiast after all.

'' I see...'' He said as he goes around, touring and looking for possible failures due to, well, the hostile climate of Hoth. '' I believe if we change the frequency of the shielding of the ship, we could adapt it towards protecting the ship against the climate, on a general sense, let me check...'' He adds as he tinkers with the controls and energy setups.

After a few minutes, there was a slight change of energy all around, and then normalcy. '' There you go, now it should be somewhat protected.'' He said with confidence.

Results

2 Successes
1 Triumph carried for effect

Zeno Takes to the air and begins a standard CSAR sweeping pattern to help locate the ship or an emergency beacon that they are looking for. All the sensor data is being collected and shared with Moyr's ship.

"Keep with me. I'm keeping a specific pattern and supplementing with drone video feed analysis. Should be able to find and triangulate on him soon."

D2 EM, Patrolling, Piloting: Planetary/Agility, Enhance, Hard+Power Inadequate, Imperial Probe Boost: 1eP+3eA+1eB+3eF+4eD 1 success, 3 Dark Side


3 DS become 3 advantage, Next roll gets 1 boost, successful roll

"Hold on, Zeno, something came up on the sensors." Luth signaled them to hover a ways away. There was a small herd of tauntauns she had to move through quietly, without scaring them off. They were an important potential resource.

Somehow, they managed to not destroy the evidence of Layne and Syl's passing. "I found a sign. We're on the right track.

EM 2 Patrol, Stealth, 1 Boost from Empire effect: 2eP+3eA+3eB+4eD 2 successes, 5 advantage, 1 Triumph


[2 boosts to the next roll. Triumph for... something. The tauntsuns maybe?]

Moyr's attention was on the trail as they were flying low, by a trajectory jointly demarcated by Luth and Zeno. She was monitoring the sonars for each and every oddity...

EM2. Perception. 2 Boosts from Luth, 1 from probes, 1 from Razzya.: 1eP+3eA+4eB+4eD 5 successes, 5 advantage


[Using Advantages to either find the radio signals of the Bex, a DIXIT operative, or a place infused by the Force. I can roll Sense as a follow-up if it makes, well, sense.]

[4 Successful rolls should be bringing us to the target.]

[What can be done with the Triumphs on Mechanics and on Stealth?]

OOC: You find the duo, I am open to suggestions on the Triumphs.

[Mechanics could either adress Trauma, make the Bitch Hoth-ready, or use some Star Wars ice-refraction physics to extend the reach of sonars?]

[Stealth, as per Luth's suggestion, could give us options to grab some tauntauns for riding them?]

[Or, as per Zeno's suggestion, we could use the Triumphs and Advantages together to seek out a secret location?]

[I'm fine with either, but let's make a call and give a solid answer.]

[OOC]

I'm fine with what the group believes is the best path and choice

OOC: My suggestion is just a suggestion. I'm fine with the Triumph rollers picking what they like.

[I suppose a location is the most tangible if DD is okay with it.]

[I suppose a location is the most tangible if DD is okay with it.]

[I agree. Secrer location has the most story possibilities anyway.]

[So this is our choice. Could you resolve it, DD?]

OOC: I think I can figure something out, but not before Day 3.

It's a research structure buried under the ice and snow, belonged to Czerka it looks like.

Moyr took the readings from Razzya and showed them to Rum, Luth, and Zeno.

"What sticks out there makes me think of a Czerka place, but it's too much snow and ice to say for certain. We should probably get back here tomorrow. Now there's no time."

"There's a Czerka rep here with the crews. Probably want to look it over first, but if we find any roadblocks they might be able to help out," Zeno suggests.

"Help out, or protect corporate interests?" Moyr teased. "Let's do it ourselves first."
