Wild Card

[MK-L1G "Long"]

Long replies to Dez via his comm-link to her and teh Captain.

~The Wild Card is not yet in shape to leave, it needs to be repaired. Captain Sunt said he needs an hour to repair the fusion reactor, of which there is still at least 30 minutes remaining. In addition to the reactor we will need the hyperdrive, and probably the shields repaired, my programming makes me the quickest at performing those repairs. But we have only limited time, if we do the repairs and only then go out to find this pilot then we risk our control of the docking facilities being discovered. It is only a matter of time before the fact that the control tower personnel are incapacitated is discovered.~

~If we wait until all the repairs are completed before we look for this pilot, then we will lose our opportunity to leave.  If we go look for the pilot, we will not be abkle to leave on the Wild Card, as she is not capable of departure.  We cannot steal the Harlot as I have disabled it, it is not capable of departure. I do not know where the Lambda class shuttle is docked, or how many Imperial troops may be guarding it, so it is not able to be used for departure.~

~That leaves us with two logical options. Either Captain Sunt and I get the repairs completed together, more quickly, while you find this pilot. You are still free to walk the station, indeed protected by Holon because he wants you safe; or I complete the repairs alone, which will take longer, while you go with Captain Sunt to search.~

~Either way, by my analysis, remaining hidden in the Wild Card is not an option unless you plan on staying on the Rock as Holon's servant permanently.~

~Do you wish to remain on the Rock? If I was mistaken my apologies. I do not always understand nuance of sentient motivations and emotions. I will re-calibrate my social programming.~

As he does this exchange on the comms he is already busy repairing the hyperdrive

Mechanics (repair object) [1d20+14] = 17+14 = 31 - Repair object takes 1 hour to repair the hyperdrive.. and would give 1d8 hp to the vehicle.  I assume the vehicle is disabled.

[OoC big question:

Once the vehicle is no longer disabled due to the hit point repair is it possible we can consider this a single encounter and Long could short-cut things by Jury-rigging?

Jury Rig:
You can make temporary repairs to any disabled mechanical or electronic device, from a simple tool to a complex starship component.
Jury-rigging is a full-round action that requires a successful DC 25 check.
If you use a tool kit, you gain a +5 equipment bonus on the check. A jury rigged device gains +2 steps on the condition track. At the end of the scene or encounter the device moves -5 steps on teh condition track and becomes disabled again.

Fast Repairs
Whenever you jury-rig an object or vehicle, the vehicle gains a number of
temporary hit points equal to the result of your Mechanics check. Damage is subtracted from these temporary hit points first, and temporary hit points go
away at the conclusion of the encounter.
Prerequisites: Trained in the Mechanics skill.

Quick Fix
Once per encounter, you may jury-rig an object vehicle that is not disabled. All normal benefits and
penalties for jury-rigging still apply.
Prerequisites: Trained in the Mechanics skill

Fast Repairs is designed to make jury-rigging more appealing to tech-oriented characters. As it
stands now, jury-rigging an object or vehicle moves it up the condition track but does not provide
temporary hit points. If your ship is at 0 hit points and you jury-rig it, it's still disabled from hit point
loss. This new talent alleviates that problem, while still making jury-rigging useful for ships pushed
down the condition track by other means (such as ion damage).

Quick Fix builds on Fast Repairs and gives a techie character a way to restore some hit points to
a vehicle that's still in the fight, but brings with it the threat of becoming disabled at the end of the
encounter. This new talent also gives ship engineers something else to do in combat, especially in
desperate situations, and it can bring a vehicle back up to full fighting form very quickly

p. 69-70 – Mechanics Skill

First full sentence of second paragraph should read “On a result…” instead of “One a result…” Under the Jury-Rig header, replace the 4th sentence with the following: “A jury-rigged device or vehicle gains +2 steps on the condition track and 1d8 hit points.” Under the Special header, add the following sentence: “Characters who are untrained in the Mechanics skill can still use the aid another action to assist on Mechanics checks.”

What that all means is that if allowed to Jury-rig i can with one full-round action make a mechanics skill check with my Mechanics 1d20+14 +5 for my tool kit. Success of 25 or more would move the entire ship up the condition track two spaces and heal it 1d8+my Mechanics skill check result in temporary hit points. After the scene the hit points would vanish and we will be stalled somewhere with it again disabled until we properly repair it. Considering the XS-800 is smaller than the YT-1300 which has 120 hp, that could be a decent amount of hit points to work with. 

[Side note: Could only find stats for the XS-800 in the old West end Games d6 Star wars rpg.. but for comparison XS-800 had Hull: 3D+2 while YT-1300 had Hull: 4D]
