Aericsteele you get my vote for best narration of a "Meatbag".
Poor schmuck. Getting sucked into space while your insides get squished into jelly and your bones are splintered and shattered. Not a way I would choose to die.
Alchyrogue thanks for the technical details.
Good luck to the rest of you on your upcoming actions.

This is Kanin, over...I wait my turn then, I am after Silver if I am not mistaken. Ajit thank you for your technological input, but I guess the glass, especially on the bridge, would be durable as hell. I will try to crack it open, maybe with Strength? My character is dexterous not strong (Borderline to not have minus rolls). I don't know if the LasCAR will be good to make a larger hole and I do not think my shotgun can work in the void. (I guess with the proper ammo it should).

The Referee relays...I don't think a roll is necessary at this point. The window would be weakened sufficiently that Krakrefr should have no trouble using his weapon to break it down further. I think you are correct though that shotguns might have some issues operating in a vaccum unless they are higher tech/designed for it. Anyone have the answer to this? Im not sure its in the rulebook but I will take a look.

Rebel over... The gun will fire alright, but the recoil will propel you away from the target…
QUOTE Fires can't burn in the oxygen-free vacuum of space, but guns can shoot. Modern ammunition contains its own oxidizer, a chemical that will trigger the explosion of gunpowder, and thus the firing of a bullet, wherever you are in the universe. No atmospheric oxygen required.
QUOTE Newton's third law dictates that the force exerted on the bullet will impart an equal and opposite force on the gun, and, because you're holding the gun, you. With very few intergalactic atoms against which to brace yourself, you'll start moving backward. If the bullet leaves the gun barrel at 1,000 meters per second, you — because you're much more massive than it is — will head the other way at only a few centimeters per second.
Skill in Zero-G ops helps with that.

Rebel over... Bindoner quoted the relevant bits, but I believe Krakrefr has magnetic boots holding him to the ship that should prevent him from floating too far off. I imagine the blast might push him a few centimeters off the ship, but the magnets should still be strong enough to pull him back down to it with no issue (Again Zero-G skills would help).

This is The Cynic, over...Silver, I believe it's your turn to take an action if I am not mistaken. And it looks like you may be in some danger!
