    Firstly, that's the pound sign, and second, yes and no. I'm using the pound sign to indicate Not A Vote, using a character that's more or less the same width as the X character.

    I could have left the box empty, but a space is only half the width of the X character, and SV eats any consecutive spaces by default. So it's not possible to neatly format a vote option I'm not voting for as an empty box.
     
    [X] Attack Fighter - fastest, sleekest, stealthiest

    Is Adora overcompensating? Trying to prove that she is still cool? Perhaps.
     
    [X] Runabout - big and tuff, can be customized with a mission pod!
    -[X] Long Duration Mission (bedrooms/survival gear)
     
    I like to have my cake, and eat it too.

    [X] Runabout - big and tuff, can be customized with a mission pod!
    -[X] Cargo Container
    --[X] Fill the cargo container with some stuff that can be traded, try to go undercover as traders... also bring some survival equipment

    Alternatively:

    [X] Runabout - big and tuff, can be customized with a mission pod!
    -[X] Long Duration Mission (bedrooms/survival gear)

    Active sensors can be detected more easily and stand out compared to the local traffic.
     
    [X] Runabout - big and tuff, can be customized with a mission pod!
    -[X] Sensor Module (Sensors!)

    The longer the range at which the needed data can be gathered, or incoming trouble spotted, the less likely there'll be a need for combat or long duration mission equipment.

    So if the Long Duration Mission option is chosen, they will be roommates, and if it isn't, there will be only one bed?

    I did a bit of checking, and I think the standard Danube class rear compartment a: is separate from the modular section, which sits between it and the forward compartment and b: has at least two beds.

    (Also, what is the roommates thing a reference to, if I'm correctly gathering that it's a reference to something?)

    It is an oldfashioned way of referring to gay people, that became a meme a decade ago or so.

    Unmarried man/woman who has happily lived with their same gender roommate for the last few decades.

    The rear compartment is also modular. Though unlike the middle section we don't even have beta canon examples of other layouts. But yes the long term habitation has four beds, a replicator, a computor terminal and a shared dining table for four people at a time.
     
    Engineering could always be nice, and strip out a few if the superfluous beds for some extra supplies, space, what's it.

    ALl right, RUNABOUT IT IS!

    Gonna need 3d20 rolled (two against TN 13, one against TN 9)

    The third d20 is from the runabout!
     
    3 successes!

    ...and 3 successes in turn!

    EDIT: Wait, I forgot, if they spent 1 threat and are using a spaceship, that's 4d20

    Okay, that's 4s!
    DragonCobolt threw 4 20-faced dice. Reason: They spent 1 threat! TN12 Total: 35

    • Author's note: Wow, this took longer than expected to write because i was inundated my nephews and nieces. They're very loud, adorable, and distracting.

    "We're going scouting, so, uh, we'll take...the...uh..." Adora looked at the options in the shuttle bay - some of them were just possibilities in the back of her head, waiting to be flash fabricated in the industrial replicator and launched. The main thing keeping most Starfleet ships from launching small armadas was the lack of feedstock and the perishables - each shuttle needed bits of dilithium and antimatter and other hard to create exotics to run - and the lack of crew. Since Voyager hadn't launched any shuttles, she could build...

    Build a space fighter! A part of her brain whispered. Prove you're still cool.

    "...the Irrawaddy!" Adora said, pointing at a Danube class runabout that they still had in dock.

    "Right, the party bus," Catra said, her voice dry. "What fun."

    "We're going on an information gathering mission, so, we should...get information!" Adora said, hurrying to the console and beginning to tap in the request for a sensor package. The industrial replicator in the belly of the ship started to whirr to life and several articulated limbs emerged from the ceiling and swung the sensor package down - which prompted a few of the shuttle deck crew to hurry over and do the final spot checks themselves. Adora glanced away from them and smiled at Catra, shyly. "This will help."

    "Yeah, a big fancy telescope! What fun!" Catra said, waggling her hands. "Why don't we just ask the stupid Kazon what they're doing?"

    "The last time we tried talking to an unknown sept, they shot at us," Adora said, frowning.

    "Yeah, exactly," Catra muttered, her voice dark. "I'm sick of stupid anomalies and fucking fist contact, I want to blow something up."

    Adora's lips thinned. "That's not how we do things in Starfleet."

    "Yeah, I know," Catra glared at her.

    Adora rubbed her palms against her face. She was getting annoyed now. Yes, she had messed up. She had said the wrong thing, badly, at a bad time. But Catra was being an absolute child about this, slinking back into being surly and ungovernable and...and...treating her like she was some kind of an authority figure. Her! Adora! Adora frowned at Catra and, speaking authoritatively, said: "Can I trust you with the piloting chair?"

    Catra scowled at her.

    Crap. Adora thought.

    ***
    ​
    The Danube class runabout had been built and designed by Starfleet for a singular purpose: To support and extend starship operations without requiring the significant overhaul costs of building new ships. By giving each ship a few short ranged interstellar multipurpose craft, they could hypothetically rapidly expand the surveyable area that any particular exploration ship could project, while not building any new ships. Ships were, after all, a lot more expensive in terms of sentient labor and replicator time - doubly so if you counted the time spent mining and transporting dilithium and other exotics. Shuttles could be printed far easier.

    The result had been fairly successful. Danubes were relatively fast, relatively tough, relatively spacious, and relatively multifaceted.

    Relatively, of course, to shuttles.

    Catra was thinking that as she put the Irrawaddy through her paces. She fired the RCS impulse thrusters to impart a lateral spin, then an axial spin, then started to corkscrew around wildly, her other finger pushing up and down on the power feed to the inertial dampeners, causing the sickening sway of their movement to get worse, then better, then worse again. Adora, her face going green, put her hand over her lips. "Catra what are you doing!?"

    "Testing the ship!" Catra said, firmly.

    The com crackled and Captain Janeway's voice came over the coms.

    "Lt. Catra, are you in trouble out there?" She had the 'i'm holding a cup of coffee, do not annoy me' tone of voice that Catra had grown to respect. Catra trimmed her spins down with a few quick spurts of needle thin thrust and a expansion and strengthening of the inertial dampening field. Within a few seconds, the Irrawaddy had settled, and she was on course.

    "Just making sure everything works," Catra said, her voice prim. "Don't want to go into this with a busted RCS."

    "Quite," Janeway said. "Good luck, good flying out there."

    The comlink clicked off, and Adora glared at Catra. "Thanks," she said, her voice dry.

    "What, isn't your stomach perfect too?" Catra asked.

    Adora didn't deign to respond. Instead, she brought up the passive sensors and then began to turn off ancillary systems - quieting down their emissions until they were nothing but a cold, dark, grayish block, drifting towards the planet in an oblique, quiet approach. The two women sat in quiet togetherness, with the discordant note between them adding its own nervous tension to the air. Catra frowned as she leaned back in her seat - while Adora focused in on the approaching Kazon escort and the convoy. The civilians were a ship she didn't recognize, though she did see they had a...somewhat suboptimal nacelle/hull configuration. Either they hadn't realized or didn't care that the bulk of their hull was between their two squat nacelles, with heavy struts and connectors giving the entire vehicle a smoothed, rounded ship. That assisted in making a warp field...but the lack of empty spaces and astrodynamics on the rest of the hull kept them at a piddling Warp 1 or 1.5, despite the fact their heat signatures indicated they had high powered fusion reactors.

    In short: They were crawling through space, possibly because of the lack of technological sophistication in their builders.

    She frowned, her scan refocusing. The main bodies of the ship were denser, thicker than they should have been. The mass and inertia was off for their builds.

    "Huh," she muttered, worrying at that possibility.

    Then Catra hissed, softly. "Shit!" she said. "We're getting a low level scan."

    "Someone spotted us?" Adora asked - the planet, by now, was getting bigger and bigger in the forward view.

    The com decided to answer that. A bored Kazon voice spoke. "Unidentified Xylion ship, immediately drop all attempts at stealth and enter a holding orbit around the planet for boarding and inspection. Any fertility tools are going to be immediately confiscated. Do not form any composite over three individuals. Repeat, do not form any composite over three individuals."

    "Well, that's a lot of interesting implications," Adora said, while Catra smirked, then reached over - towards the big red alert button, which would bring up the shields.

    And the main engines.

    ...and the weapons.

    -[X] Yellow alert only. Put the bulky vessel between us and the planet and any other likely sensors, then raise shields and generally make it obvious we're not these "Xylions" without revealing we're Starfleet. Try to talk it out.
    -[X] If that fails, *then* comes the excitement. Point out to Catra that if we don't try, Janeway will make it harder to have fun later.
