"We'll need to restock after this run, but I have enough to cause more than enough trouble. Wireless security isn't my specialty, so we'll do it loud."<br/><br/>"I can reflect the sun's light to trigger a detonation if your trigger fails."<br/><br/>Princess Zaburshia pondered for a moment. “The larger cruisers likely have their own closed ecosystems. If they have plants growing on them I can interface with the flora.”<br/><br/>“Alright, sounds like we have a plan, girls!” Jalyers exclaimed. “Let’s go!”<br/><br/>The ship’s interior shuddered slightly, but only for a moment, as its Bio Disguise Shell gave the design a sleeker form fitting the Lorian standard. Its aerodynamic design was built for inter-atmospheric travel as well as the reaches of space, not unlike many scouting ships:<br/><br/>(https://i.imgur.com/VateVpm.jpg?1)<br/><br/>The good news is that Jade’s team was able to physically breach the perimeter without incident. The bad news is that actually landing would take more effort. A nearby beacon hailed them.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: anurati;">Welcome to Tharsin Station. Ship Design Number and Fuel Type, please.</span></span><br/><br/>The auditory declaration also appeared visually on the ship's mind-log, and if necessary translated the intent into the 4 other most common sense types (telepathy being the sixth). Jade experienced a vague sense of the taste and smell of celery, an Earth food she hasn't tasted in what felt like ages. As well as a warm oily feeling that wasn't the tentacles.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC Senses</div><div class="spoiler_body">If Jade had Accurate Senses in non-Visual sense types she'd get the same message.</div></div><br/>"Design number?" Solar Flare asked. "Is that like a license plate? Just give a random string!"<br/><br/>Jalyers facepalmed. "It's not that simple; it's a code that-"<br/><br/>Then her face went glum. "Oh shoot. I forgot to come up with one!"<br/><br/>Princess Zaburshia turned to Jade with a glare. "We've come this far already. We have to give them something!"<br/><br/><strong>Jade needs to roll Deception or Expertise: Starships vs a 15 DC. Alternatively, an appropriate skill, Power, etc can provide a bonus or auto-success depending on its use. Attractive 2 applies, oddly enough, given that Jade's slave training made her appealing to a variety of non-visual senses.</strong><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">DMPC Actions</div><div class="spoiler_body">Here are a few possibilities for Team Checks. Solar Flare can use her LaserComm Alternate Effect to broadcast a conflicting message of higher priority, with a +8 Deception bonus. She can also give a Hologram to mimic the lighting of fusion energy at the same bonus, which may be more reliable given that fusion-powered ships are more common than antimatter.<br/><br/>Jalyers' Spaceship Expertise of +10 can be used to give a convincing-sounding Design Number. However it is spur of the moment and may not last as long as a cover, lacking Jade's personal charm/moxie.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Vehicles or Technology Automatic</div><div class="spoiler_body">The Grue-Lor vessel runs on antimatter energy.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Failure</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: anurati;">Error.
