Sara will try to discretely inquire with the scout service.

Harper finishes the last few bites of breakfast and washes them down with coffee. She puts the information on the ruins carefully to the side and looks at those gathered around the table.

"I've got a pistol in my room, I'll bring it along. I'm not an expert with it like you lot, but I know which end to point at the bad guy. So how big is the launch? I'd like to come along if there's room"

(Subject to GM approval) A 20dt launch can be configured for 6 to 20 passengers, plus 2 crew. https://woolshedwargamer.files.wordpres ... launch.jpg The pic file is mislabled as 10dt.

The launch is 8 seats (2 crew plus 6 passengers) and 10 tons cargo.

Does the cargo door roll up like a garage door, or swing outward into the breeze?

joertexas wrote:"As long as I arrive safely, then my passengers do, as well." Vee says with a lurking smile. "I'll make sure the launch is ready to go."

Foix smiles and replies "Although I trained to jump out of perfectly serviceable aircraft I have to state that I'm equally happy to simply step off them on arrival too".

Foix replies "It will be a pleasure to have you join us Lady Harper and I believe you are wise to come armed".

Roll up or something like that. You can transfer cargo between the Launch and the cargo bays in the ship. It could also slide.

I'm concerned about "Vdo - max speed with cargo door open". I'd hate to rip it off...

"I hope we can avoid anyone having to jump out," Vee replies with a matching smile.

Yep no worries about that, though there may be other problems with max speed with the cargo door open (of course Classic Traveller really doesn't have anything to say about atmospheric operations of ships...).

Geiger counter for sure, probably some other stuff.

Passive sensors might covera lot of that off.

Foix smiles warmly as he replies "Then, my Lady, you are owed both the gratitude of the Domain of Foix and the sincere appreciation of the Comte".

OOC: I believe we're waiting on the result of a supplementary enquiry from Foix:

[He will check both his own rusty recollection and also that of Lady Alicia and Lady Harper regarding the Foix familiy’s collective relationship with the Salazars. (Just in case some distant cousin has started a blood feud with them! )

Equally he aims to pool their collective knowledge of the specific noble of House Salazar who is active on Arthiop. Specifically this bit.

He will begin to actively collect data on the Imperial Protectorate for future use as they sound like an entity that the Domain of Foix will have to deal with one way or another]. (I'm not expecting anything back on the Protectorate immediately).

and also Sara's investigations with the Scout Service regarding the temple and the lost mission as below:

Thanks in advance! )

For Ship's Boat and Pilot, go with this:

ffilz wrote:I'm leaning hard towards the Ship's Boat is maneuver only piloting while Pilot covers both. And as mentioned earlier, if you get both skills, you add them together as your Pilot level.

The general consensus on the Salazar family is that they are neutral with respect to the Foix family (reaction roll 7). The Lady Alicia recalls that Sir Rafel Salazar is in charge of the holdings here. He served in the Navy for 3 terms before taking the reins of the holdings here.

Meanwhile, both Ana and Sarah seem to occasionally be drawn to the crystals from Shedezar. Studying them is fascinating and at times, they have found themselves lost in thought studying them.

Sara's discrete inquiry about the Scout team doesn't turn anything up (reaction roll 7).
