Rebel over...Safety systems should prevent the outer door opening without the inner closed I'd think. I don't think they'll have time to override the controls. The bridge should lock the airlock in it's current state though, stop them closing the lock with Silver inside and cycling for exit. That's something for Adeline to do…

This is The Cynic, over... Holy cow. Krakrefr and the Ref killed that detonation scene! What a gruesome pleasure to read!
Rather off topic, but...
Sorry for being somewhat inactive these days. Been super busy with classes and work. Will get back on the horse today.

This is Kanin, over...So, now I am looking at a small hole that I cannot fit through? Can I shoot the glass to open it more or I just sit there?

Rebel over...I am waiting until Ref says its Ajit's turn to post anything, but that explosive scene was good. With the pressure equalized, I would imagine that the glass should be as easy as any other thick glass to break (Which is to say if you shot it, it should widen the hole). You might have to shoot a 'perferation' in it and then kick that a few times to get a decent hole in there, but again it should be doable.

QUOTE So, now I am looking at a small hole that I cannot fit through? Can I shoot the glass to open it more or I just sit there?
On your next turn you can try to widen the hole or shatter the glass further by shooting it or striking with a blunt object. I'm not an expert when it comes to the construction/design of spaceship windows but I would imagine that it's not the same thing as breaking out the window of a car. To operate in the environment of space and in high speeds through atmosphere I would imagine the glass would have to be fairly robust which is why I did not have the plastic explosives shatter the window outright. You should be able to use your next action to widen the hole enough for Krakrefr to fit through and then use a move action to actually get inside though.
Now that the action has started though, we are working with the fairly small increment of time that a round represents. And I don't want to have everyone describe several actions ahead of time because the situation can change significantly with each characters actions, and I want the PCs to be able to respond to those changes. Unfortunately this will slow things down a little bit in the Play By Post environment.

Rebel over... Just so you know for the future:
QUOTE (Corning Museum of Glass)The space shuttle has triple paned, optical-quality windows. Thirty-seven window panes in eleven different sizes and shapes are produced for each Orbiter. The fused silica outer panes of the forward windshields are designed to withstand high atmosphere reentry temperatures. The inner, tempered alumino-silicate glass pane is called the pressure pane. It is designed for maximum strength to withstand the shuttle's cabin pressure in the vacuum of space. The thick fused silica middle pane is capable of withstanding both the reentry temperature and the cabin pressure.
It is aluminosilicate glass and fused silica glass, about .6 inches, 3 inches, and 1.5 inches thick from the outside in. Aluminosilicate glass is just as brittle as regular glass. Fused silica glass is pure SiO2 (No additives), so it is standard glass (Not like Pyrex or anything) and will shatter as well. The main things that lends these materials their strength is their thickness. They are heat resistant, but still can't withstand direct entry into an atmosphere. The main problem with glass is as soon as you introduce one crack, the entire thing quickly splitters and breaks.
Now this is all current technology, not Traveller age technology, so I don't know what to say about the actual spaceshield we are up again, just giving you some perspective from current technology, in case that helps.

The Referee relays... I finally managed to put up a rough map that shows my understanding of where everyone is based on your posts and the action so far. Let me know about any inaccuracies. Obviously Krakrefr is not on there because he is getting ready to board the other ship.
I just realized that I did not include Gaden on the key; your character is the lavender dot in the lower left corner of the cargo bay. Edited: Aericsteele on 25th May, 2016 - 10:08pm
