    • Adora panted, softly. "I'm going-"

    "To sit right there," Catra said, angrily. SHe unstrapped herself from her chair, slid to her feet, then hurried to the side of the Irrawaddy, where she found one of the medical kits. She wrenched it from its housing with a grunt, and then turned back to Adora, who was trying to peel her uniform arm off, wincing. Catra shook her head, then hurried to her side. "Sit still, idiot."

    "You're the idiot!" Adora snapped, flushing. "We were supposed to just sneak around, see what was there, you got us into a shooting match with the local Kazon!"

    "They were going to shoot at us anyway," Catra said, her voice surly as she took out a dermal regenerator. She thumbed the setting around, then picked up the hand tractor. She aimed it at the bits of metal mixed with Adora's flesh, wincing at the smell. Adora didn't handle pain like most people - she was tougher than she looked, and usually downplayed what hurt her. It still made Catra sick with fury anytime something like this happened. She started to pull the metal free with care, the hand tractor easily guiding the shrapnel out to hover in a small orb of shimmering light, while the dermal regenerator worked its magic, sealing wounds and putting fresh, pink skin over it.

    Catra saw Adora untense.

    She sighed, softly.

    "There," Catra said, standing. Adora flexed her fingers, then sagged for a moment. She put her hand over her brow, then nodded.

    "Okay," she said, quietly. "We need to...we need to figure out how to get off this planet-"

    "No, we have to figure out what those Kazon were looking for. Fertility tools?" Catra frowned. "That sounded really bad, Adora."

    "We have no idea what it was or what it should sound like," Adora said, then rubbed her shoulder. She looked into Catra's eyes, and Catra glared at her. Adora sighed and looked away, then frowned. "Okay, fine. Fine." She slid to the console, frowning. "Our reactor is coming back online - we took some nasty hits, but at least now the shield capacitators can recover."

    "Goodie, they did us so well during the fight..." Catra muttered. Her voice grew dark. "Back in our home, void shields lasted, they could take a beating."

    Adora politely didn't mention that putting a shield system like the Irrawaddy back in their home would have been nearly impossibly difficult - an example of lost technology, honestly. Instead, she began to work the console, frowning a little as she did so. The sensors began to scan the area on subspace, thermals, and similar givens - and despite the cave surrounding her, she was able to start picking up a lot of information. Catra leaned over her shoulder, her tail twitching from side to side.

    "What a craphole," she muttered.

    The basic summary: They had landed on what was only marginally M-class planet. It had barely breathable air, a hydrosphere of ostensibly drinkable water, and enough biosignatures that were similar in terms of chirality that the two of them could digest it...maybe. Assuming there were no additional complications.

    Which is always a dangerous assumption, Adora thought.

    MOMENTUM: 3

    TRAITS: Irrawaddy's Slagged Phaser Banks 1

    So! Adora got 2 successes on a Gather Information roll and THANKS to your sensor package, she gets +1 momentum for using sensors out of combat. Neat! Now, with this 3 momentum, you can ask THREE QUESTIONS and get answers! Since that's how gathering information works! Here's some examples!

    [ ] Any local technological civilization?
    [ ] Any local sentients?
    [ ] Any Kazon installations
    [ ] Are the Kazon hunting in this area
    [ ] Did the civilian ships arrive?
    [ ] What were those weird colors we flew past?
    [ ] Did the Kazon pilot survive?
    [ ] What happened to the other Kazon attack ship?

    Hmmm.

    If I were to ask : "Who has spotted the crash", would we get a description of any locals or Kazon's that have spotted us, or just a flat "not spotted/spotted".

    Anyway, here's a list :

    [] Any useful shelter to hide the ship in?
    [] Any evidence of technological civilization
    [] Any evidence of Kazon's still after us?

    It'd get you a "no, you're not spotted" unless you were spotted, in which case it'd say who spotted you!

    EDIT: So, funny fact, I got the rules wrong on the space combat...but in a way that it all works out! So, in 1st edition, evasive action adds +1 diff to being shot at. But in 2nd edition, evasive action makes being shot at an opposed check. Still, I believe it all works out...but I'll remember it for the future!

    Just a general point for future reference. Chirality is only an issue in mass effect because they misunderstood/misused it. It's not an ecosphere level phenomena, it's barely tissue level if that. Chirality refers to the arrangement of atoms at the end of carbon chains. A way to differentiate between compounds with identical atomic make up arranged differently at an end point. Not only do most Terran life forms have the ability to consume many compounds that have different chiralities, but there's in fact places in the same species where the opposite chirality from another tissue is used for some other task.

    Just a minor nitpick because I can't help myself.

    • Adora frowned as the high resolution scanners began to ping the surrounding area - picking up, first, energy signatures in orbit. She pointed them out. "It looks like the Kazon are running around like..." She frowned. "Huh." She cocked her head, then gestured Catra to peer down with her. Catra's brow furrowed as she saw it too.

    "The civilian ships have scattered too, they're landing all over the planet," Catra said. "Like they were just waiting for the chance, huh?"

    "At least one of them has landed near us," Adora said, nodding as she did so, her finger rubbing along her chin. "Hell, from the atmospheric disturbances, it looked like they came down without a breaking burn until the last second. Their inertial dampeners must be quite strong. Or they don't care about broken bones." She leaned forward, then started to focus the subspace focal lens to bring up the slightly greenish patch of biofluid that the civilian ship had landed nearby. "Huh. These puddles we flew over. They're a highly complicated kind of organic soup - I'd need to get a direct sample, but even from a distance, they look far more complex than, say, simple algaes or-"

    "Okay, cool, they're here to steal weird goo, what does it do?" Catra asked, leaning against the chair.

    "I don't know, Catra," Adora said, pushing her tail out of her face with accustomed ease. "We'd need to get a sample first."

    "Are they all over the planet?"

    "Yes, it looks like we have enough of a distribution that...they're probably everywhere..." Adora said, frowning as she tapped a few buttons. "Well, wouldn't you know it..."

    "Huh?" Catra asked.

    "The pilot of the attack fighter we shot down is alive," Adora said. "...and they're not Kazon."

    Catra's ears perked up, immediately. "What are they?"

    Adora frowned, then looked over at Catra. "...the computer says that they have the same biological signature and make up as the puddles of goo on the planet." She paused. "Green, specifically."

    "Well, we gotta check this out!" Catra said, walking back and away from the chair, heading for the survival compartment. She swung it open, revealing the double Type-2 phasers that were set there. SHe yanked one down, twirling it around her fingers with a grin. Adora frowned, then stood.

    "We..." She hesitated.

    Catra looked at her, her ears pinning back. "We can't head back up while the orbital lanes are full of Kazon running around, poking at everything. And you've seen enough, there's something weird and fucked up going on here. We have to figure it out. Starfleet shit. Starfleet is always figuring shit out and kicking people in the dick."

    "That's not what Starfleet does in the slightest," Adora said, while she walked over to stand beside Catra. Catra smirked, then twirled the phaser around, holding the handle to her.

    Adora knew it was a mistake. But...Catra was talking to her normally. They were on an adventure. They didn't have to talk about the disastrous date. And Catra did make a good point - there were enough vague rumblings about what was going on here that she was...nervous. And when she got nervous, she wanted to deal with it. So, she took the phaser, holstering it at her hip, and Catra and she headed for the back. Catra added. "Besides, we'd need to fix the hole. You know. That you shot in our floor."

    "It's not that big..."

    "It's a hole in a spaceship, Adora..."

    ***
    ​
    The figure was in a suit - helmeted and armored against light impacts, with the faint charring that could come from a slightly delayed emergency beam out, and with the steam still rising off the edges of the suit, as if its molecular cohesion hadn't exactly been as solid as it should have been. Catra and Adora peeked over the rock at them as the figure shuffled along the side of the cliff, wobbling from side to side. A soft panting and whimpering came from it - it almost sounded like crying. Adora reached down to adjust her universal translator, while Catra casually thumbed her phaser to stun.

    "Catra!" Adora hissed.

    "Stun, stun!" CAtra showed her the indicator.

    "...why didn't it start at stun?" Adora's brow furrowed.

    But the suited figure hadn't heard them, nor noticed them - it instead continued to walk. Then it stumbled. Then it stopped, then started to kick at the ground, making muffled grunting noises. Finally, it turned, walked to a nearby grayish boulder, and sat down. It leaned its helmet back, catching the glinting light of the sun - what little sun peeked through the thick, grayish clouds overhead, at least and let out a low groaning sigh. Adora shook her head.

    "He looks as unhappy as we are," she whispered. "Maybe-"

    "Wait, wait!" Catra hissed.

    The gloved hands of the suit had reached up, taking hold of the helmet, then twisted it with a pop and a click. The helmet was tossed away with some force - the force of frustration, or maybe sorrow, taking emotions out on the world and unfeeling objects around oneself, simply for lack of anything else to target. The helmet clanked and rolled away, revealing that the head beneath was a pale, translucent green. What sunlight got through the clouds also shone through them, illuminating the faint specs of material that floated within their strange body. Despite the goo-structure, their face and features were recognizably humanoid, with eyes, with lips, with wavy impressions of what might have been hair...though it was more modeled on Vidiian hair (well, non-Phagic Vidiian hair) than on Kazon tufts.

    The figure breathed slowly, then whimpered, then slumped slowly to the side, falling off the rock and onto the ground.

    Then...

    They poured out of the suit. Their head collapsed into a flattened lump, two eyes bobbing uselessly around, the lips remaining set and frowning as the puddle spread and spread and spread, until there was a several meter wide patch of ground covered in green goop, which had spread out to fill every crack.

    "I'm so fired," the goo moaned - and their voice was high and feminine, the translator giving it that bit of gendered spin thanks to its automated psychic substrate.

    Adora and Catra exchanged a look.

    Being cautious, eh? Roll 2d20, TN 11, diff 2!

    If you fail, you can add one die for 1 threat, then a second die for 2 threat, and a third die for 3 addition threat (note: costs are cumulative, not sequential)

    You will surely not regret giving me, the gm, threat
