Jason continues to talk, trying to buy time.  "Query... why have you cut off the plasma conduits from the bridge?  A wave of torpedoes is incoming, and this engine room, along with the rest of the ship will be destroyed in a short period of time if the bridge does not regain control and is able to maneuver."<br/><br/>Charm 28/55 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=31501) 2 extra degrees of success<br/><br/>Jason's voice get's firmer.  "This engine room, yourself, and all aboard will be destroyed if flight control and engine power is not restored in the next few minutes.  As a Captain of the Imperial Navy, I command you to restore function to those systems, at least long enough to escape the present threat.  Afterwords, we can negotiate for terms, but right now, we will all die together if you do not comply."<br/><br/>Command 32/60 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=31502) 2 extra degrees of success<br/><br/>He adopts a moderating tone.  "I would be happy to agree to your request for my surrender... but until I can be sure I'm not going be killed by torpedoes exploding the entire ship, I have no motivation to do so.  Dying now or dying later makes little difference to me.  I prefer NOT to die at all today."<br/><br/>While he talks, Jason makes a rough count of the number of Servitors around him, and glances around for any signs of reinforcements... who no doubt would be able to hear him speaking, and hopefully would be using the distraction to their advantage.
