Mack: Pulling yourself onto the deck as quietly as possible you quickly scan the rear deck for any potential threats. You've gotten onboard near a small helicopter landing pad, but the first thing that grabs your attention is a human sized figure in a dark suit leaning against the railing opposite you. He is gazing out over the water, and you see the decklights glinting off of a compact submachine gun carried on a sling at his side. Suddenly he straightens up, and you see a tiny red coal flick from his hand and into the water and he begins to turn around. It looks like he really picked a terrible time to take a smoke break.

Mack sees the guard, looks at the distance, and tries to draw and throw a knife, hoping to put the guy out quickly and quietly.

Got the knife out easily, flying towards the opponent:

[ Spoiler ]

Reaction 4 ThrowingKinves 8 for target 4 (12d6.hits(5)=5)

The knife slides nicely into the guard before he can see Mack:

[ Spoiler ]

Agility 5 ThrowingKnives 8 (13d6.hits(5)=5)

So the Guard is soaking 14P damage.
Mack didn't need to step to do this, so I have some hope that at least he hasn't attracted attention. My best hope is that the guy is sufficiently damaged that he can not cry. No point in worrying about whether he will fall over the rail.

The knife strikes the guard in the side of the neck, severing arteries and nerve endings. He looks at you wide eyed for a moment, his mouth moving silently, one hand grasping automatically for his weapon before he collapses to the ground. The sound of metal hitting the deck probably sounds a lot louder in your ears than it actually was.

[ Spoiler ]

Guards soak roll Body 5, Armoured Vest 4 (9d6.hits(5)=4)
General Perception roll Threshold ? (6d6.hits(5)=3)

Moving over you check to make sure he's dead and as the others pull themselves up on deck you take a moment to get your bearings.

The landing pad that you're standing on is vacant, and given the exposed nature of it, probably not the best place to be sitting around. Ahead of you you see a small staircase leading up onto the bridge, and a door that according to the plans, leads to the kitchen and crew quarters. There is a small deck wrapped around the bridge leading to the bow. The Blueprint on your ARO says that, there is probably a hot tub up there, and the entrance to the owners suite.

Sybercat slides up beside you and says quietly "If we can take the bridge quietly, I should be able to get into their security system. We'd have to keep it quiet though. If the system goes on alert I'd be locked out."

Padre clambers over the side of the boat and makes his way over to them. He bows his head over the dead guard for a moment, then nods to Sybercat. "That sounds like a plan, Miss Sybercat. How quickly can you be in?"
