[Taocow PBEM] Book 3 - Chapter IV - Who's This Then?

> OOC: I'd like to introduce our newest player, difdi at comcast.net. It's 
> not exactly the time for PC introductions, but the PC's name is Sir 
> Justin Ichijo. He's a great player and it's a great PC, so it should 
> be a lot of fun! 

OOC: Hi everybody! 

> Alex swims forward and then plunges her dagger into the steel. For a 
> moment there is nothing, but then her dagger begins to cut through the metal, 
> slicing at it like a knife through tough meat. Still, it's going to take her a while to 
> make a decent-sized hole, as the hull of this sub is several inches thick, and much 
> of it is reinforced mega damage steel plates. 

[Justin] 
Justin moves up to the other side of the hatch from Alex, and looks for any structural bracing/reinforcement frames on the hull. He'll eyeball the width of the min-sub, then carefully (sharpshooter called shot, laser sight, armor sensors engaged) aim at the frames from point blank range and shoot them out, so as to make an outline a bit bigger than the mini-sub. 

Once it's just hull plating, he'll switch to his vibro katana and work his way from the far side of the hatch to where Alex is cutting.

OOC: This ought to both make the cutting easier (the frames of a ship are almost always tougher than the actual hull) and shorten the amount that will need to be actually cut (it's almost always easier, when cutting anything, to cut from drilled hole to drilled hole, than to just start cutting) . 

OOC: Not kn owing how many shots it will take, I've included a dozen strike and damage rolls (since you know his bonuses, I'll just give the total of roll plus bonus, unless it's a critical failure or strike). I figure sticking a sword through a wall and pulling hard probably doesn't need a strike or damage roll. 

Strike: 20 (non-natural), 26, 34, 25, 32, 28, 33, 22, 26, 31, 23, 34. 
Damage: 40, 20, 20, 10, 10, 60, 60, 40, 50, 10, 30, 10
