Episode 2.01: Brushfire!

[Nolmir]

OOC: Ooh, Klingons, perhaps?

Insight 9 + Science 5 vs. Difficulty 2

Rolled 2d20 : 2, 6, total 8

Ship's assist: Sensors 9 + Science 2

'' is not a valid dice string!

[Nolmir]

Whoops, fixing the ship's die roll:

Rolled 1d20 : 14, total 14

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 2 Successes for Tobin, but no help from the ship's sensors. Also, I forgot to note that the ship's Advanced Sensor Suites reduces the Difficulty of the task to 1.

So, 2 Successes vs. Difficulty 1. Success, plus 1 Momentum generated. Tobin's Science Officer role allows him to spend 1 free Momentum on Obtain Information.

Tobin discovers it's a transporter signal, and the beam is coming from that hilltop Klingon relay. It looks like someone is being picked up from the location he first discovered the beam.

OOC: Okay, Nolmir, you have one question you can ask, and you can ask one additional question per Momentum point you spend.

The Wounded
Cole - Injury/Stable (2 Complications)
Kowalski - Injury/Stable

Current
Momentum 3 (1 pending, Tobin)
Threat 0

Advantages & Complications
Well-Oiled Machine Advantage (when a PC or supporting character assists a PC on a shipboard task)
More Aggressive Strategy Advantage (Tyreen)
Educated Guess Advantage (when using ship's sensors to actively scan for cloaked ships)
Trauma Shock Complication (Cole; Injury-related Complication)
Massive Internal Injuries (Cole; Injury-related Complication)

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Quick ping, Nolmir. Tobin has at least one question to ask (and more if he wants to spend Momentum).

[Nolmir]

OOC: Sorry, guys, busy weekend. Can Tobin determine where the other end of the transporter beam is? If so, that's the question I'd like answered.

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Using Science Officer Role Obtain Information.

Tobin follows the vector of the energy signature; as he predicts, it bounces off the relay and continues at a downward angle right to the cloaked scout ship.

As he's confirming his findings, the energy and heat readings on the B'Rel surge, as if it's powering up all systems.

[Patrick Goodman]

What, he asks innocently, is our current alert status? I want to say "Yellow" but I've slept since then....

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: The Drake is currently at Yellow Alert, with shield generators charged (bridge defense field up only) and phaser banks charged (i.e., Mr. Scott's favored form of diplomacy).

[Patrick Goodman]

Splendid.

[Nolmir]

"The cloaked B'Rel appears to be powering up," Tobin announces to the bridge as he re-opens the comm channel to the transporter room. "Captain, a transporter beam just transited to that Klingon scout ship Thadis and I intercepted comms from earlier. I'd say they're making ready for liftoff."

[Patrick Goodman]

Personally, I think we ought to get ready to say hello. What do you guys think?

[Nolmir]

OOC: Yep, I agree.

[Doug Burke]

Wouldn't want to be rude...

[Patrick Goodman]

No, that would never do at all....

"Shields up; take us to red alert," Treyva said. "Helm, prepare to intercept them. I'm on my way."

[Doug Burke]

The Vulcan steps aside and gestures for the captain to precede him. With that, they both head to the bridge.
