She sneaks in to grab the power cell

“All right,” Lux mutters, “what’s your clever plan?”

“Simple,” Atara says. “You go in and get it. Just grab and twist clockwise. Straightforward enough?”

Lux nods slowly. As Atara backs away, she slips past the doorway, eyeing the two men cautiously. If they notice her, she’s going to be in a tight spot – with no magic, no weapons, and no knowledge of where it’s safe to run to. Clutching onto the short sword for the slim comfort of having a weapon, she moves towards the device.

(Yes/No (Likely): Lux tries to sneak in and steal the item while Atara diverts the guards' attention. Is she successful? | [4,2] Yes)

Fortunately, the two seem focused enough on their conversation, and Lux’s bare feet make no sound on the stone floor. She holds her breath as she inches closer, crouching down to keep out of sight behind the machine. After listening to ensure they haven’t moved, she reaches up and – having to make two guesses as to whether it’s clockwise from her side or the machine’s – manages to quietly disengage the cylinder. It feels slightly warm in her hand.

As quietly as she went in, she slips back out of the room. Atara takes the cell briskly from her hands, gives her the most grudging of grudging nods, and sets off again without a word.
