[LM2] Combing the Desert

[Randall Tarkin]

"Surely," he said, nodding his head. "All good ideas.. unfortunately your.. armored friend here has the right of it. It's almost as if the supplies just vanished into thin air. Unfortunately, recordings reveal nothing and the logs appear clean of any entry or exit made that was not otherwise authorized and accounted for."

[Claymore Frost]

"Nothing you say?" Clay perks up. "Sounds like some real pros then. Any chance I can get on your computer and see if I can dig up anything of value?"

[Tranq Sayzin]

"That doesn't make sense. Things don't just disappear into thin air. There's always a trail, even if you can't see it." The Karkarodon shook his head, still regarding the area. "What is this place, what makes your people thing it would just disappear?"

[Claymore Frost]

"Yes, and your severs and security footage should be closed-loop, so the splicer was here in this facility."

[Raven Cadera]

Raven lifted her hand to rub her chin in thought, and found the gesture kind of ruined as her gloved hand hit the hard plating of her helmet. At least they didn't see the embarrassed look on her face as she lowered the hand back down again.

"Tampering with the recordings or the feed seems most likely." And most likely an inside job. This place isn't easily found or approached.

[Claymore Frost]

"Yes, my thoughts exactly. I think you have a mole creature..."

[Solork Tan]

"There is also the possibility that the doors were opened manually to avoid an electronic record." Solork chimes in. "It's how I would do it"

[Randall Tarkin]

"I would love to allow you to sift through the systems to discover the mystery," Dr. Tarkin said, looking over to the sergeant. Chuckling awkwardly.

"I'm afraid I cannot offer you that access. Not now, at least. Perhaps we can prepare the proper footage for you another time but until then.. if you wished to check other possibilities you may check this room."

[Claymore Frost]

Clay jutted his helmet in the direction of Raven. Something smells fishing...

[Raven Cadera]

The visor turned in Claymore's direction, perhaps a silent understanding between the two Mando'ade.

"Sure. Let's have a look."

[Honor]

[Everyone may attempt a Hard Perception check]

[Raven Cadera]

Figuring that two sets of eyes were better than one, Raven moved with the shark-man. One set of Mando-eyes to help the others seemed good to her.

The Karkarodon Executioner started on surveying, with the aid of Raven.

LM2 - Combing the Desert- Investigating (Cunning 3, Perception 0, +1eB from Raven Assist, Hard, Flippin' Destiny to Upgrade): 1eP+2eA+1eB+3eD 0 successes, 2 advantage


I'd like to use those 2 advantages to pick out something useful to the scene. What's the temperament of the troopers and ol' Randy?

[Claymore Frost]

D2 LM Combing the Desert - Perception: 2eA+3eD 1 success, 2 threat


"Um, yeah, my visor that something in the infrared range, but something just went wrong with it. Back to normal wavelength for now."

[Solork Tan]

Hard Perception: 2eA+3eD 2 failures



"Hmm" Solork looks for his broken door theory, but comes up with nothing

Randy appears to be keeping his cool, intentionally. Meanwhile, the troopers on hand are watching your investigation with mixed levels of interest and boredom. The Sergeant in particular, however, doesn't seem to be paying much attention unless someone moves to touch something in the storeroom.

The door is colored the same as the rest of the building's interior.

While investigating, Claymore noticed that the room seemed well maintained. There were spots cleaned very thoroughly, but he couldn't be certain when it happened. For all he knew the old stains that used to be here could have been years old or merely months.

[Raven Cadera]

Raven, having not spotted anything too unusual, was trying to think of who would want to steal from an Imperial research base... and why.

"If you don't mind answering," she looked at Tarkin who seemed to be in charge here, "what kind of supplies is in here anyway?"

[Randall Tarkin]

"Rations, maintenance material, the occasional shipment of standard medical supplies such as stimpacks before they're unloaded from their cargo-crates and into our main supply," he replied dutifully.
