Firefly PBF game 1

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
No, if it were Negotiate you could Bribe, and Sheydra can treat Fight as Negotiate once per job, but (a) you don’t have her, (b) you can’t have her, and (c) this isn’t a job.

Fight d6+6: 9 vs 9

So you get the $500 - and 2 parts if you want to throw fuel overboard for them. Action 2?

Please move the Alliance and Operative ships 1 sector closer to Persephone.

I’m ashamed to say there’s some piracy happening to DJCT now. We’ve all got to make a living, and I feel that the rest of these ‘captains’ aren’t really educated enough to appreciate the finer things in life. So I should appreciate them for them.

Oops, this was meant to be to someone else.

OK, so here’s how this works.

Lordof1 Works the Piracy Job:

A message from Niska [Illegal Piracy on Rival not Solid with Niska (All Goods/Kill 1, Warrant)] [$200/G] [Boarding Test 6] (N)

DJCT is indeed not Solid with Niska.
First step is a boarding test. This is Tech or Negotiate, target 6; the Interceptor has the special ability that it can reroll Tech boarding tests. So Lordof1’s choice is Negotiate 4 vs 6 with the possibility of a Bribe, or Tech 1 vs 6 with a reroll.

@Lordof1 - pay the $100 for a sure thing, or take the 5/6 chance?

Take the risk! This job doesn’t pay too well

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
d6+4: 5 vs 6

OK, there’s no penalty for failing a boarding test, but the Work action is over. That Job remains active, though it’s not locked to this particular prey.
