[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Klingon Captain Presence + Command (9/4) Rally Task vs. Difficulty 0.

Rolled 2d20 : 2, 2, total 4

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 2 Successes vs. Difficulty 0. Success, plus 2 Threat generated.

Spending those 2 Threat to Keep the Initiative.

Klingon Engineer Control + Engineering (10/3) Power Management Task vs. Difficulty 2. Spending 1 Threat to Create Opportunity.

Rolled 3d20 : 3, 14, 11, total 28

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 2 Successes vs. Difficulty 2. Success. 1 Power restored.

Crew's actions. What's next?

Ship Status
B'Rel - 1 net Power spent, +1 Difficulty to hit in combat until Helm's next turn
Drake - Power Remaining 8/9, -1 Difficulty to hit in combat until Helm's next turn

Roles That Have Acted This Round
B'Rel - Helm, Comms, Captain, Engineer
Drake - Maria, Miguel

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

Current
Momentum 3
Threat 3

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)
Locked Onto Power Signature (reduces Difficulty on a single Helm maneuver or Attack that targets the Bird of Prey, but only after Sensor Operations successfully performs a Scan for Weakness task vs. Difficulty 3 against it; once the maneuver or attack is attempted, Sensor Ops must do another Scan for Weakness to trigger the benefit)
Trauma Shock Complication (Cole; Injury-related)
Massive Internal Injuries Complication (Cole; Injury-related)

[Renny]

OOC: Is it worth considering having science attempt the Scan for Weakness task so we can make use of the Locked onto Power Signature Advantage and negate the +1 to hit the Klingons currently have? Keeps us on their tail as I see it. I guess until they fire on us, we want to hold Lear back if possible?

[Patrick Goodman]

Personally  I think we need to watch our backs. The B'Rel knows we outgun her 10:1, and she just sent a tight-beam transmission. I think those L9s could still be hiding in the system.

[Renny]

Personally  I think we need to watch our backs.

OOC: This is an excellent point. Perhaps we should get science to scan for other ships instead.

[Nolmir]

OOC: Yeah, scanning for other ships makes sense to me too. We don't know if they have backup.

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Sounds like you gents are going to have Tobin perform a Sensor Sweep in an attempt to locate and identify potential Klingon ships in the area.

Nolmir, please have Tobin perform the Reason + Science Task vs. Difficulty 0, assisted by the ship's Sensors + Science.

[Nolmir]

OOC: Tobin Reason 11 + Science 5, vs. Difficulty 0

Rolled 2d20 : 1, 14, total 15

Ship's assist, Sensors 9 + Science 2

Rolled 1d20 : 10, total 10

[Renny]

OOC: Nice one!

[Patrick Goodman]

Sweet!

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 3 Successes for Tobin, and 1 additional Success from the ship assist, for 4 Successes vs. Difficulty 0. Success, plus 4 Momentum generated!

1 Momentum must be spent or lost.

The Drake's powerful sensors sweep across the outer system to starboard, picking up two fast moving contacts at extreme range (about 1.25 million km out) on an intercept course.

OOC: Remember, you get an additional free Obtain Information question if you spend any Momentum on Obtain Information.

[Renny]

Lear notes the two new contacts from science station feed on his tactical display and adjusts his threat assessment to match.

OOC: Might be worth spending that Momentum to get the extra information unless anyone else has a use for it?

[Nolmir]

OOC: Yeah, I'll definitely spend Momentum on Obtain Information. What kind of ships are they/are they Klingon? How long until they'll be in weapons range?

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Confirming spending 1 Momentum to Obtain Information and invoking Tobin's Studious talent to ask an additional question.

"What kind of shares are they/are they Klingon?"
The ships are both Klingon L-9 "Sabre"-class frigates

"How long until they'll be in weapons range?"
In game terms, it will take them three Impulse tasks to get to within firing range. Since you folks are still in Round 1 of Starship Combat, this means most likely Round 4 (or Round 3, if a commander decides to perform the Direct Task and have the helm move again). For the narrative, we'll say less than 90 seconds.
