whY?...what's with subterfuge?

Because you could say whatever you liked (within reason) to anybody here about why you are here and what you do without anyone getting even slightly suspicious.

"I do actually have a couple of concerns about the nature of these injuries..." says the Doctor.

"like what.." asks Takuan

well..some of my social interraction pwoers should prove of SOME help, no?

Luckily Tanic does have Subterfuge...

Old age?! Damn! I assume we are all in the hospital together?

Tanic grimaces at the mention of early old age, and says,
"What sort of symptoms, Doctor?"

Bah! This guy is just being excessively cautious, Tanic. Look at him, moaning on there like an old woman. You feel strong! The Force is with you, after all, and you are pretty suire you are not going to turn into some sort of cripple. Doesn't stop the Doctor answering your question with fifteen minutes of medical babbling, though. And with Subterfuge, he does genuinely believe you are worried, no question about that!

"Well," sayd the Doctor, Takuan. "I've completed my analysis of the injuries of all of you when you first came here. It hasn't helped me define what the actual cause of it all was in this storm of yours. But... some of these injuries..." He brings up a holograpic image and points at some of them.

"Some of these burns look awfully like close shaves from standard issue blaster rifles..."

Where ever Rah is, he paces the room.
He's bored, very bored, the quiet of this planet is deafening to someone to someone like Rah...

"awh ..those....you have no interest in those" says Takuan waving his hand in front of the doctor (persuade)

(maybe i'm overdoing it but i can't find a way to blend those injuries into a lil script right now..😄)

The problem there, Takuan, is that if he stops worrying about them, he'll start worrying about them again later- it's on record. So you either need to Persuade him and then destroy the records... or convince him they are innocuous.

Tanic would be good at that...

And indeed, Rah, this place is your worst nightmare.

Galder remains quiet, tapping his mechanically arm with annoyance.

well...can i make him completely forget about us, and then grab the records and leave? perhaps some of my computer skilled partners can erase any electronical record. is that possible?

Do we want to risk that? We still want to talk in the bar...

yep..but he's a doctor...we won't be needing HIS services from now. and i reckon they're not the suspicious type. if we need medical attendance we can always find another doctor. i don't know...as i said..i might be over-doing it, but i can't find a plausible explanation for those blasters. it would have to have been within the ship..because the injuries were fresh...

"I collect weapons, Doctor," Galder says. "A hobby of mine. I have some interesting weapons, but they malfunctioned and fired when we went through the storm." He looks to Rand for help reinforcing that statement.

"It is true, Doctor, he is a collector of rare weaponry. You should not worry yourself about it..."

well..maybe subterfuge can pull this off for you. but it has to seem plausible in the first place..and..i dunno 🙂

Gah, people still over-powering Persuade!

No, you absolutely cannot use it to make him forget all about you. Persuade only ever works in the present- it does not alter someone's mind permanently

Yes, you can go for the mass security deletion route... but it would be a hundred times easier just to get a decent cover story and lie well enough...

"Rare weaponry?" asks the Doctor. "Left exposed during hyperspace navigation? And like I said, these are wounds from standard issue weapons..."

(he can't possibly dientify which sort of beam burned him..it's only a chauterised wound)
"the fire power is similar to standard issue weapons, doctor" starts Takuan
"what can i say...you're right about us leaving unsupervised during hyperspace. Our friend.." he says pointing to galder "..is verry attached to his collection. we threw them in in a hurry. we're lucky to have him still alive." Takuan seems deeply concerned "it was hell up there.."

May as well say a bullet is only an impact wound, Dexx. An expert in the field can tell you a whole lot about what caused it.

You up for a Lying roll, Takuan?

yeah
(though i'd appreciate the back-up..if i fail it)

If you fail it it makes everyone else's job far harder- still going ahead?
