Interlude 6.XX: Shoot the Dog (Planet Gavarle)
Well, in for a penny, in for a shitton of hurt. Fight for my life!
[Combat +1 Dangerous Wound -2] [4] -Okay-
If you harm a dog, the dog obviously bites back. With an enemy armed with a ranged weapon, rushing in head on would do no good. Jim fakes running away, instead taking cover in the corner of a container. His side is burning, but he manages to keep his breathing low enough.
Jim hears the sound of a body dropping, and then very faint steps. Focusing on his senses, he attempts to predict the moment the assassin is going to come around this corner.
Jim waits. The man is prudent. A second that seems to extend for several minutes passes, and Jim lunges toward a faint rustling sound.
Closing his jaw on the apparent empty air, he manages to bite something hard, an arm in some protective metallic gear. The optic camouflage flickers a bit, revealing a hand with four digits. There is no gun in that hand, oops. Wrong arm.
Katerina turns on her communicator, and attempts to contact the captain. If she does not receive a response, she tries to find him manually.
Seeing no one is inside or around the ship, Katerina naturally attempts to contact the captain. The moment she turns on her device, she sees the notification of a distress signal nearby.
That's definitely not normal. She starts walking toward the location.
(Alright then)
Thomas will continue drunkenly heading toward the captain's distress signal.
Force my body to become sober and rush to the location the captain sent the distress signal. If going alone is faster, do that. Can't wait for everyone else when the captain needs help now.
(Would those rolls use physical stats? I want to reach the place before the captain dies.)
Follow my crewmates.
If we find reach the captain and/or run into any hostiles, then do the following:
Use my birthing organ to spit out Slimeon Eggs from my mouth at a high velocity toward our enemies' vital body parts. Sneed will protect its friends!
(After looking up Sneed's character sheet again, I finally remembered Sneed could do that )
(You would need to stumble on a teleporter to arrive in time :p)
The remaining trio keeps heading toward the distress signal...
