Lower Decks - Episode 4

So we'll start with Roger since Roger wasn't here, unless Roger would rather be left to last.

No, I think I've got an idea of what Danny would be trying to do.

So he would probably want to get on like the Starfleet version of a biohazard suit.

And he'd want to transport in to the science lab.

Okay.

With a bunch of medical equipment so he can start trying to look at medical reasons for the atrophy that's taken effect and can start taking detailed medical scans because I'm guessing there'd be more medical equipment that would be designed for that than probably what's currently in the science lab

so the way equipment works in general with star trek adventures is so long as you are in a situation where you've got time to deal with it so if you're about to go on an away mission you can pretty much have whatever you want before you leave If it's after the mission has started or you suddenly you're in a situation like this, then there's a cost involved.

So an environment suit, which I would say was probably that have an equivalent, which would be what you would want, is an opportunity cost of two, which basically means if it's opportunity, that's momentum to spend.

There's another thing called escalation, which is if you're doing something that threatens to escalate the situation, you're picking up a big-ass phaser rifle or, you know, tricobalt bombs or whatever, then there's a threat.

So bringing the napalm is a bit frowned on.

Yeah.

And that's one of the other things I like with this, and this was the first edition as well, as long as you're using a phaser on stun, we don't worry too much about it.

If you decide to try to kill someone, then you add to threat because you're Yes, escalating the situation, if you like.

So it would be a cost of two momentum to be able to easily access a...

Would that cover the medical equipment I would bring with me? Yeah, I'd say.

How much momentum is there?

Well, that's what I was going to say.

Five of each?

Yes.

They don't reset at the beginning of a session?

It's

sort of each mission.

Nice.

All right.

If people are cool with that, then I would like to spend the momentum to get the med gear and get into the science lab area.
