Money for Nothing [Day 0]

[Cuyler Gray]

"I've not seen Duncan Idaho in combat, but that makes sense, given some of the stories I've heard. House Mutelli has a Swordmaster in its service as well, Dorian Drake." Cuyler explained. "Regardless, there is something odd about that man, and dangerous. We will need to keep an eye on him."

[Kannon]

"At this point, he seems to be influential." Xard shrugged. "As I and Ms Grey are likely to be engaging the official elements, it's good to have an idea what to expect from this... Pankratos. Does this station have any records we could peruse, or just these random broadcasts?" Xard frowned and looked at Hadrian as the most Atreides factor around. "However, I don't think I should be the one to look through them if there are. I'd rather not come across any sensitive Atreides intelligence and then develop loyalty dilemmas."

[Laila Bridger]

"If Hawat demanded I be here... he's probably scrubbed this place of anything sensitive."

[Hadrian Martikova]

"Hmmmm, let's see."

(Anything I need to roll to determine how to work the thing?)

[Kannon]

If there were any filmbooks stored around, it would not be in an obvious location. Nothing was meant to indicate 'Atreides!' in this inside-the-asteroid setting.

[Perception at Daunting for anyone who looks around.]

[Laila Bridger]

Whatever Laila was here for, it damned sure wasn't for her powers of perception.

Daunting Perception: 4eD+1eA+1eP 3 failures, 3 threat


Enjoy the threats, O GM!

[Hadrian Martikova]

Hadrian's powers of perception are hit or miss at best.

Perception (Daunting): 2eP+1eA+4eD 2 failures, 1 advantage

[Cuyler Gray]

Cuyler noticed something....

Cuyler did spot a bolt clamp in the upper wall that felt a bit newer than the rest, perhaps from a slightly different alloy.

[Cuyler Gray]

She pushed herself off a nearby wall and made her way towards the clamp, taking a closer look.

[Kannon]

It looked like it could come off if manipulated a little.

[Average Mechanics w/ a Challenge]

[Cuyler Gray]

"There's something off about this..."

She tried to remove it, but couldn't figure it out.

[Laila Bridger]

That.... didn't look like something Laila would be much help with.

In fact, it looked like something she might accidentally destroy.

[Hadrian Martikova]

"Let me take a look." Hadrian said walking over. "Huh... what the," he muttered, gently and meticulously fiddling with the machinery.

Mechanics Check: 1eP+2eA+1eD+1eC 1 success, 3 advantage

[Kannon]

Inside, there were neatly tucked-in spools of shigawire, likely connected to some recording device deeper in the nook. What it could have recorded was a mystery as of now, but if they had the dare and the technical skill of removing them, their solido projector could likely handle it.

[Hadrian Martikova]

"Well, well..." Hadrian grinned mischievously, "now we're talking."

He looks to the others.

"Any objections to me setting this up?"

[Laila Bridger]

"I don't know what I'm looking at, so I certainly don't know enough to object..."

[Cuyler Gray]

"Go ahead." Cuyler nodded. "It could be interesting."

[Kannon]

Shigawire wasn't easily torn, it was the other way around - it easily cut flesh. So easily in fact that if Hadrian wasn't careful the effort could cost him garroting his own fingers.

[Skulduggery on Average /w Challenge and a Setback for 2 Threat from GM Pool to remove the shigawire.]

[Player Pool: 6 Advantages]
[GM Pool: 1 Threat]

[Laila Bridger]

Shigawire.

Fucking shigawire.

Laila had some particularly unpleasant recent memories of the stuff, and actually put some distance between herself and the wires.
