OOC: So Intiative Order is: Zallven, Shkop, Qel, Nils, and Gregor. Shkop and Nils should have 1st round skill checks up by tomorrow afternoon.

Then we will go by this order to post. If you are next, you dont wait for me to post, go ahead with your post, and I can then link everything together later (Faster that way actually).

Nils follows Shkop to the meeting, wondering what was going on. Skywarden quickly strips the sleep from his eyes with the presentation.
Nils is stunned by the brash assassinations but is determined to get to the bottom of the issue. Having been a saboteur he knows that timing, both in planning the attack and catching the attacker, is everything.

Building off of Zallven's theory off the fuel cells were tampered with,  Nils find two key things. The service logs for the shuttle show the fuel cells were replaced after the shuttle  received minor damage during yesterday's battle. Also, the fuels cells themselves are reinforced, so whoever did this, need a very powerful charge to set them off. This person had military explosives training and was an expert at blending in.

OOC: You are now up to 8 successes (2 Crirical)  and 1 fail. You have unlocked the first +2 bonus to all skill checks, and uncovered the following piece of evidence:

The Rodian 's profile is a fake, but a very good one. This means he could been a plant, or the profile is somehow a cover ID.

Before he could make it to a computer several other members of the team began working on the same thing. In a few moments they had manged to find out how the likely saboteur was, now the trick was to find out who he was.  Going down to the hanger Shkop found Gregor already asking questions, the big man could intimidate quite a few of the crew form his size alone, even with out his armor. Shkop began looking for the first link, most likely someone lying, or at least not saying everything.
Spoiler: checks (hover to show)
Shkop made his rounds of the people in the hanger, asking simple questions to gauge their state. Everyone was behaving normally form what Shkop could tell, no one seemed to be holding back. But then for a reason that Shkop could only call intuition he turned around just in time to see a nervous twi'lek turn to avoid his eyes. It wasn't until that moment that Shkop realized that they had been moving to avoid him and gergor this whole time. Shkop began walking to the person, and signaled them stand still. He wasn't wearing any insignia of rank, however it was hard to ignore the order of a scared man with bulking muscles bearing down on you. I'm Captain Shkop Muskarac. Why have you been avoiding me, and Lieutenant Gregor?

The Twi'lek, a Petty Officer himself, gets defensive at first. "I haven't been avoiding anyone, just don't want to get involved in whatever is going on". He can tell Shkop isn't buying it, so he finally gives in "Okay, I'll tell you what I've seen". From there, the Twi'lek says that see saw two new faces in this hanger yesterday: a Rodian male and a Human female. They worked on several ships, but took the longest time with a shuttle. Something about fuel cell replacement. He tells Shkop that all he knows, he isnt a tech for shuttles, he works on X-wings.

End of Round 1: 10 successes and 1 fail. +2 to all skill checks currently.

With much brainstorming done, Zallven heads down to the hangar to look at what evidence had been collected to see if he could identify what sort of explosive device might have been able to cause such a terrible explosion, but he doesn't have much success.  He then takes a look at the maintenance logs.  Now that was incriminating.  Why would the fuel tanks (in the stern of the shuttle) need to be replaced when all the damage occured on the bow?

OOC: The Aid work for Sienn. Also, There isnt a device to put back together yet. The Destiny, another cruiser that the Shuttle exploded on is about to arrive. There will where you can do that. You all looking into possible causes and suspects

Shkop assists Zallven in Mechanical logs a notices that several parts were acquired for the job that do not go with a Fuel Cell repair. Extra energy cells, extra tubing, and a small metal casting were added by the repair crew. Huge mistake on there part. They basically gave you their bomb recipe.

Using your combined explosives experience, you both figure out that they created a device that was made to blend in to the surrounding area. What they used for the catayisis or how that remotely triggered in are still up for debate.

OOC Edit: 14 successes and still 1 fail. Unlocked the second +2 bonus to skill checks, which I'll retroactively honor (since roll's were the 2 last to the next bonus), meaning that Shkop's roll succeeds. Its included in the number of successes. +4 bonus to all skill checks now.

Next Unlocked Clue: Other techs working with you find that Aeki left the Alliance an hour after the shuttle left. The shuttle he was on was sent to Liberator, another MC-80 Cruiser in Ackbar's fleet. It wast sent to Raithar to relieve the Destiny, which is due to arrive in 1 hour to Cardia. Its been 5 hours since you started to search.

Nils takes a look at the acquired evidence thus far. "Looks like there are most likely three ways the bomb could have gone off. Timer, remote detonation or a trigger like the engine turning off. If it would have been me, I would have gone for a combination: Trigger a timer when landing gear descends. It was a common tactic we used in the early days of fighting the Empire and very effective."
He takes a closer look at the components used to build the bomb hoping to find a clue for the trigger.

Qel drifts over to examine some out of place hoses before he starts looking around the area a bit more.

Nil's theory about the trigger seems a good fit, but you cant be completely sure until the Destiny arrives. Qel's search find some interesting things: The hose look used, as if they were from the older fuel cell. Around the hoses, there is what looks like an old fuel cell priming control box. A quick search in the Mechanics logs shows that they did indeed replace the control box, something never done on that type of repair normally. Cross checking with Nils shows that Qel's discovery confirms Nil's theory more.

16 successes and 2 failures (unless someone rolls a Aid another for Nils, then 17 and 1)

Gregor continues interviewing people he can find throughout the ship based on intel he receives from the rest of the team. He isn't a mechanic, and the only tech he is interested in in what he uses to defend the team or kill Imps with.

Spoiler: Gregor's Rolls (GM-PCed) (hover to show)

Gregor must have a gift for people, or his size intimidates, because everyone he interviewed was very helpful. He found out the following:
1) The Rodian and female human were almost inseperatable the either time they were aboard the Alliance, Somehow they would get the same duty assignments.
2) They often asked about any rumors about SpecOps activity, stating that they had family in the service and wanted to see what SpecOps was up to
3) Both were gifted techs, know for going beyond what was required for the job.

OOC: You guys are up to 20 successes and 2 fails. 3rd +2 bonus is unlocked. (+6 total).

Ackbar informs you that the Destiny has arrived in-system and Shar has the Fury ready to go for a quick transfer. You arrive in the same hanger as the explosion. Its been untouched in a ray shield controlled by the Captain himself. He has his head of security deactivate it upon your arrival

You now have the wreckage in front of you all. Put the pieces together

OOC: Everyone look for a PM from me.
