E086 Unguarded Office on Military Base (takes 1 hour)
You can slip into an office unseen and search it. If you do so, take 1 more hour and roll 1d6:
- 1: you find nothing of value
- 2: you find two sidearms and one heavy hand weapon (see R210 for tech level, but add one when rolling to determine result on table R235)
- 3: you are surprised by an overwhelming force of military police who arrest you and your party unless you succeed with a Cunning roll (R202), if arrested they take all your possessions and imprison you for 20 days, after which you may attempt to leave once at the start of each 10-day week with a 1d6 result of 4-6, when you leave they will not return what was confiscated, and imprisoned hirelings will leave unless immediately paid any back-salaries due
- 4: you find secret defense plans for the base, which you can sell for a base price of 500 S at a military area in another star system (or a base price of 5,000 S if the other star system is at war with this one)
- 5: alarms go off! immediately roll for an entry encounter (R225A) for a military land area, including the standard subtracting one (-1) from the die roll on the table (R239)
- 6: two guards, each E8, M6, H4 with heavy hand weapons (see R210 for tech level) challenge you, see R323 unless on Imperia or Talitar, then see R319 (20 S)
