You will need to know how many slice groups were used in the acquisition, fsfast will not know that. preproc-sess should accept a slice-timing with with -sdf (though this is not listed in the help). What is the error that you are getting? There is no way to do STC before MC in fsfast. When you have interleaved slices, there are arguments for each order (when the slices are acquired continguously, then MC should always go first).
