Phase 2:
Must be completed before accumulating 6 Delay Tokens - or Starship gets popped, then one starship for every 2 tokens
Chance of Betrayal - fail
Re-roll - pass
Team Orange (Pathfinder) scouting roll 1, Sci-T, Hard DC - pass
No delay, +1 to all infiltration attempts, attempts to avoid raising alarm on failed attempts reduced in DC
Slipper Infiltration - Med DC Sci-T = 6+6 pass, +1 Combat Bonus
Songbird Infiltration - Hard Dc Sci-T = pass
Seabed+Rainfall Ingiltration - Hard DC Sci-T = narrow fail, +1 Delay Token
Avoid Trouble Med Dc - pass
2nd Attempt - pass
Sunshine+Rose Infiltration - Hard DC Prs-T = narrow fail, +1 Delay Token
Avoid Trouble Cmb-T Med DC - pass
2nd Attempt - pass
So... the infiltration teams tried to enter the base, were betrayed by someone who wasn't listened too/intercepted, and the Seabed, Sunshine, Rainfall and Rose Teams decided that it'd be better to wait for the next opportunity rather than rush in and risk being caught?
It's notable by the way just how many Hard level difficulty checks get passed. There's no way this is because the dice favour us, or at least, that's not the only factor. Preparation and good stats working in our favour it would seem to me.

Along with officers and ratings of Office 24, we successfully infiltrated the surface of Narravonn, and moved into the local community. The plight of the civilians of the Gammon system is dire, and much aid will need to be brought if the Federation succeeds in taking the system.
We made contact with the agent of the Ked Paddah and her local affiliates. She has provided us with the services of her best local operatives, whom we have marked as Team Rose. If we are fortunate, we will not need to call on them in a direct battle role, but I am sure they will be useful in complementing Team Sunshine's operation.
Phase 1:

Songbird infiltrating Inner complex - Sci-T Med Dc - pass

Songbird system hack - Sci-T - Med Dc - pass
There was an attempt to betray us to the enemy. One of the Ked Paddah agent's trusted aides wanted to gather the bounty on Federation agents that exists. The agent silenced him before he could report on us, but we must move swiftly. We have pierced the inner complex, moving through isolated corridors, carefully timed moves through maintenance shafts and under-maintenance pipes to avoid contact with guards. It is nearly time to strike.

The assault has begun. The communications have been temporarily cut, and it is time to make our move. We must be swift and sure.
Slipper has taken the command post on schedule, and the Kortennon base commander has been captured. We hope to bring him with us. Seabed and Rainfall have gotten their jobs done, and the tech-wiz with Seabed got the clamp down on the outgoing comms just in the nick of time. The word from Sunshine's assault is also good, they are through.
But Songbird is running into problems. The group they are facing is absolutely bound and determined not to give up the power junction. They're really putting up a fight. The communications are in hand, but we need that conduit if we're to do lasting damage to the superlaser itself. They must hurry.

Songbird has finally gotten their job done. The charges are set in all targets. The Ked Paddah agent was supposed to make a distraction to drive the civilians away from the base itself, so hopefully this will go ahead without any loss of life among the civilians of Narravonn.

Intelligence Officer's Log, Commander Iltoor Paralan, USS Hummingbird
All personnel accounted for, plus the Ked Paddah agent and Team Rose safely aboard. Our runabouts are making haste for deep space, and our would be pursuers have had to turn aside. Rear Admiral T'Lorel's fleet has arrived at Gammon! That battle is now on for young and old.
We've cleared the way in for them, it's now time for the fleet to do the rest.
Phase 5:
Songbird extraction Med DC Cmb-T - pass
Sunshine (w/Rose) extraction Med DC Cmb-T - pass
Seabed (w/Rainfall) extraction Med DC Cmb-T - pass
Beamed up to station
Anoxa Complex destroyed, runabouts begin their egress and return to SS Hummingbird
Mission Accomplished
Arrival of Federation Fleet in Gammon System
The gamble paid off! And we didn't need our one shot re roll, just the one versus betrayal. And this way they do not have a chance to possibly repair it. Plus we saved our agents which are very good at their job.
Looks like the risk of ordering a simultaneous attack has paid off. Not only did it help our Intelligence team get away, but also they'll have no opportunity to effect requires.
Now we just have to worry about their outposts, their minefield, and whatever ships they have in system.
