Dr. Sims grimaces staring at the door terminals. He is mumbling to himself, "That really should have worked, maybe I should..."
OOC:
Tries hacking again.

Hacking - (1d20)

(4) = 4

OOC:
Because you should roll with -1S bonus (d20-d4) we can assume this is an amazing success! That means you were very fast this time. And you can do something within the same action with terminal. You discovered that the terminal is used for registration of prisoners at this prison block... and you even managed get access to the full list of prisoners kept on this floor/block.

So what are you doing @dabaggins with your newly gained control over the terminal? Control door somehow? Browse the list? Trying something else maybe? As this can be significant, I think I should wait for your decision before narrating outcomes and making actions for the rest of surge soldiers.

Dr Sim's turns to the others, "I got it working. Close the door or take out the soldier's first?"
OOC:
Dr. Sim's actions will depend upon what the others agree to. He will either close the door or if they want to keep fighting the soldiers he will try to determine which cell the ambassador is in.

OOC:
Very well! So waiting for players/PCs to figure it out together:)

Mobius waits for a moment to fire back as gunfire fills the hallway. "If they get away they'll call for reinforcement's for sure. Might have already, maybe not."
Jun 20, 2026 2:58 pm
Cielo agrees with Mobius and adds, "Good point.There's also a very high chance that this is our only way to return. Finishing the job now would be helpful as it seems.
Jun 20, 2026 10:35 pm
Dr. Sim's listens to the others, "Yep, that was my read on the situation as well... now where is our ambassador." He turns to the terminal confident that the others will deal with the threat and sees if first he can determine where cell the ambassador is in and then open it.

OOC:
Are the prisoners visible at all? Like, could Dash try and find the ambassador just by looking? If not, he'll start blasting at the soldiers again with the others.

OOC:
@KingHarkinian Doors have only small like 5x15cm visors inside the cell. So you can look into the cells, yes... but only one by one, standing next to the each door. It will take some time to check every one of them this way. But you can try your chances by choosing random door and maybe you will find ambassador earlier:)

Dash also notices that each door has a code panel next to it, that must be assigned to each cell's door individually.

Dr Sims' ending of action resolution, after his choice:
As Dr Sims decided not to close the blast door and focus on browsing the prisoners list, he scanned the list fast with his well trained eyes, still having a significant dose of adrenaline in his body after recent shot. He quickly found the name: Talo Kostrul. The log indicates that he was put in the cell around 15 days ago. Dr guesses that it was not easy for the Concord to find him earlier. He wonders in what state he might be right now. Besides the ambasador there are 5 other prisoners held in this block. Doctor concludes - seeing names that should belong to humans or friendly species - that all prisoners could also be captured by recent Serin-ru raids and held here wrongfully.

Dr taps the ambasador's record and access his cell data. He reads the records... moving his eyes even faster... Sanitary submodule was changed just yesterday - at least the ambasador was able to take care about his hygiene properly. Or maybe he was trying some shenanigans? At least he finds the button called "Open door cell" at the bootom of the screen. Excited, he presses it. But the screen becomes red then the fallowing alert is displayed:
Access restricted after recent malversations. Door control moved to central platform's terminals only. Please contact the platform supervisor.
OOC:
That concludes Dr Sims tinkering with the door's inner terminal and his action. He can browse some more information - i.e. about other prisoners - next action. Still having control over terminal for time being. Marking on the map, where prisoners are held according to the terminal - [A] for ambasador:

OOC:
Rolling to see the results... After edit:
L1 soldier after experiencing another shoots missing him, but certainly aimed at him returns fire at Cielo... but must be enraged or stressed seeing his comrades falling one by one... and misses completely.
OOC:
Time to spice things up! ;)
But the wounded R2 solider does something unexpected... he opens a small recess in his overalls on his chest... extends a small tablet like shape with a red button in the center of it... somehow even more red than his armor... hesitates for a split second... then presses it with grim determination, only seen by his body language. The button starts to blink! Soldier throws his blaster on the ground... and then starts to run frantically towards the opened door and adventures hidden behind them. Just as they thought they will have still time to shoot at the brainwashed solider, before he reaches the door... he leaps forward and his boots make loud noise... meaning that he is propelled forward with even grater force... finally falling down, prone... just in the center, surrounded by brave heroes gathered around the door.
OOC:

I hope it's obvious what he is just trying to do?:)

(6) = 6

Cielo is taken aback by what the soldier has done, he hasn't anticipated something like this at all. Slightly panicking and unsure of how much time theres left before the inevitable occurs, he dives towards the soldier and tries his very best to push him atleast out of the door — in hopes it would atleast nerf the impact by quite a bit.
OOC:
So what do I roll here?

OOC:
Oh man, so should we try and push him out and close the door? I have some points in computer operation, would that help here?
"Hey Doc, do we have a cell num-"

He sees the soldier barreling towards them, and recognizes the desperate tactic. Even after all these years the Serin-Ru's casual disregard for the lives of their own soldiers still catches him off-guard.

"Crazy bastard's gonna take us with him! Hit the deck!!"

Mobius fires at the man even as he runs back around the corner toward the corner.
OOC:
Assuming I can't do both I'll shoot and run in the next round. Adding a second 1d4 in case there's a bonus for short range.
