"There may be a few more," Emso says. "I can get them for you later. Dinner first?"

"Sounds good. Do you want me to let the Senator know it is ready?"

"Sure," Emso says, careful mincing a vegetable for his stew.

Your basic Sense ability is telling you that Emso seems nervous as you leave to go wake the Senator. Something to keep in mind.

Senator Farl is fast asleep when you enter his room.

I plan to talk more with him after dinner when he fetches the tapes.

Not sure what he'll be more annoyed about, being woken up or missing dinner... hmmm

"Senator?" Wentar calls out, in a light attempt to wake Farl.

Farl stirs in his sleep when you call to him, but he does not awaken. He moistens his mouth, his tongue clicking loudly, before he rolls over in his enormous bed.

Wait... something is wrong!

Does Wentar sense anything or anyone in the room?

"Senator Farl," Wentar says again, this time shaking the Senators shoulder.

Quick observation roll on the room, any food stuffs, drinks around?

You cannot sense anyone that should not be there, and you cannot see anything out of place.

Farl rouses from his sleep, coughing slightly, before rubbing his eyes. "What is it, Master Jedi? Dinner already?"

"Indeed," Wentar says, hiding his relief. "Sleep well?"

Something is still wrong, Wentar...

"I suppose so," Farl says. "Better than I slept at..."

At this point, the door to Farl's master bedroom slams shut suddenly. It is followed by the security blast door, which slams shut too. There are a series of clicks as the locks snap into place.

"Wh-what was that?" Farl asks, perturbed.

"Something bad," Wentar says.

Any thing I can use to communicate with Emso?

Yep! You have a comlink.

"Emso, are you alright? The master bedroom just sealed shut," Wentar says, after tuning into a channel Emso would be on.

Where are the master controls for the security systems for this suite?

Your only reply is the crackle of static.

And yes, the master controls for the security system is by the door.

Farl coughs and clears his throat again. "What is going on, Wentar? Am I in danger?"

"Not as long as I'm here," Wentar says, trying to reassure the Senator. "Can you get these doors open?"

That cough concerns me. Is there anything wrong with the ventilation, gas or the like?

You can't see anything coming out of the ventilation system...

Senator Farl clambers out of bed and hurries to the door. He puts in his security override code... and is promptly denied.

"The security system has been taken out of my control!" Farl alerts you. "We're trapped!"

"No, we're not," Wentar says calmly, removing his lightsaber and gesturing at the sealed door. "With your permission?"

Break the doors, we get out and the alarms sound. Go go team security!

"Be my guest!" Senator Farl says, before falling into a fit of coughing.

Wentar slides his lightsaber into the door before coughing himself. It melts through with ease, but cutting it down will be slower than you would like due to the thickness of the blast door. Still, this is much faster than trying to hack the security system yourself.

The alarms are not triggering, however.

Okay something is seriously wrong with the air here. What roll would I need to perform to find out why we're coughing? Medicine maybe?

"We need to get out of the suite now!" Wentar says, grabbing hold of the Senator.

Is the kitchen on the way to the exit?

You would need a chance to fully understand the symptoms being created, but it does not take a doctor to figure out that the suite is being gassed.

Wentar cuts down the door and pulls the Senator out of his bedroom, emerging into the smaller 'evening' lounge where the Senator relaxes before bedtime. Past the evening lounge is the main lounge, where the dining hall branches off from, and the kitchen is past that... all with their own blast doors!

There is no time for that. Windows available?
