The First to Strike
SESSION 39

 

The remains of the cloakshape continue to smolder inside and the ship itself is slowly collapsing. The smoke filling the air immediatly around the ship mixes with the dust from Nizon's atmosphere making it difficult to breath. At Al'verde's request Matsun leaves the Shadow Spire with a fire extinguisher in hand.
Talon heads to the cockpit of the Fortune's Fool habitually checking over the systems for take off. Galen and Stark are soon joined by Raik and Lucien, both looking worse for wear from their encounter with the red armored bounty armor. Ignoring his own pain, Lucien gets to work on Galen's wounds, finding the large gashes left by the crab droids claws.
Play by Post
Galen: just a minute
Galen: ((Okay, back))
** Lucien continues his work on the wounds suffered by Galen and Raik, in spite of the pain of his own injuries and only once they have been fixed up will he move on to the treatment of his own injuries. **
** Stark has doffed his robes to get a better assessment of the injuries he sustained from those overly aggressive crab droids. He uses his a mirror and his own personal medpack to get a view of what his own injuries were before setting out all the required tools. The Force is his ally in this effort, as he moves tools around with the force of his mind so that he can do the job in the most efficient manner he can. **
** Raik remains silent thoughout the ordeal of having her wounds treated. So long as Lucien remains in her line of sight she seems to remain calm. **
** Galen wonders what exactly went on out there as he watches Raik and Stark and their actions. **
** Lucien has no intention of leaving Raik's sight anytime soon, not after what happened the last time. **
Alicia: Lucien gets to work on both Galen and Raik, using his skills as an experienced doctor to get them patched up. After over an hour both Galen and Raik have returned to their former peak conditions, if not a little sore and tired from the ordeal.
** Talon heads out of the cockpit of the Fool wondering if they ever discovered what part of the Sarlaac Project the armored figure had threatened to destroy earlier. **
Raik: "Stripe." Raik says to Lucien once the surgery was over. She wasn't a trained medic, but there were other things she could do to aid in the healing of his injuries. "I can put you in a trance to help heal your injuries."
** Al'verde comms Talon after over an hour of working on his own "Talon...I need to talk to you, come over to the Spire for a moment, and make sure that sith witch and her litte lover pet don't follow." **
** Lucien raises an eyebrow and says with a small smile, "If you insist, honey." and begins to remove his bulky armour that he was going to have to take off to treat his own injuries anyway. **
** Talon heads over to the Spire **
Talon: "What's going on?" he asks as he arrives, but not before turning to see if he had been followed.
Alicia: Entering the Spire, you see the burnt corpse of the bounty hunter has been laid out in the bay and has been thouroghly searched.
Talon: "And people said lightsabers could be clean," Talon says with a slight amount of disgust in his voice.
Talon: With that said, he goes throughout the ship, trying to find Al'verde.
** Al'verde walks into the main area from the cockpit "Im going to need some help geet some info off this chip. It has some info about h the project on it" he says closing the ramp behind Talon "I figured if the two of us worked on it we would be able to crack it, that and you're the one that I don't feel like kiling at the moment." he said in a cold tone as he turned back to the pilot seat and started working on the data chip again **
** Lucien once he has removed his armour, and surplus clothing is going to lay on one of the medical beds and put his hands on his chest and let Raik put him into a healing trance. **
** Talon follows Al'verde into the cockpit of the vessel. "I wouldn't say everyone," Talon replies. "Those two, however." He looks at the likely somewhat charred chip. "This might not be easy," he adds. **
Al'verde: "Yeah that's whay I'm asking for your help. Oh I need you to do me a favor"
Talon: "What?" he says, looking at the Firespray's computer consoles.
Alicia: Not only has the chip been burned but parts of it got caught by blaster bolots.
Talon: "Oh we definately have a job to do," he adds.
** Raik places Lucien into the healing trance, Before dropping all her weapons into a pile on the floor, then laying on the bed beside him, one arm drapped protectively over his chest. **
** Galen looks at the two and then decides it's time to get out of there. "I think I'll step out," he says. **
Talon: "So, where do we start?
** Talon wonders aloud. **
Alicia: As Galen leaves he notices that Lucien's breathing slows almost till it's non existant.
Al'verde: "When we leave we both need go straight back to the Resurgence, Raiuk need to answer for tossing, or rolling that thermal at me. I dson't care what she's going through but that was an attack. I need to make sure that you will not let her go back to Lucien's home." he said as he moved over so Talon could help out "We just start working to see if we can save any data "
** Stark tosses what's left of his own medpack into the garbage, grabbing his robes, and putting his mask back on before leaving for the bounty hunter's ship. **
Galen: "Hey, what are you doing?" Galen says to Raik. Any possible sight of a Jedi healing trance he's had before forgotten at the moment.
Raik: "He's sleeping." She answered simply. "He'll heal faster this way."
Talon: "Agreed," Talon says. "It's not going to be pretty what they might do to her, though, for Lucien, I mean. They overlooked her previous crimes before, but this time I doubt they will."
Galen: "Looks like he's not breathing," Galen says.
Raik: "Its a very deep sleep."
Raik: "He could survive for a few days like this without needing food or water."
** Galen , placated for the time being, heads back to his cabin, hoping to at least get a few minutes of sleep before having to leave the planet. **
** Talon sets to work on trying to decrypt the damaged disk. **
Talon: [1d20+13 ] => [3,13] = (16)
Talon: ((Bah...))
** Stark looks at the now ruined ship with his hands on his hips. He seems to be occupied but it's more like he's avoiding everyone else rather than actively pursuing something of interest to him. **
Al'verde: (( oh your roll would be a 18 cause the ship has a +2 int ))
Al'verde: Use Computer: [1d20+13+mod ] => 1d20+13+mod
Al'verde: Use Computer: [1d20+13+2 ] => [17,13,2] = (32)
Alicia: An hour passes, Stark what are you doing?
** Stark is waiting for someone to call him back, and keeping an eye out on his surroundings. A very careful eye. **
Talon: "I say we take this thing back to the Resurgance," Talon suggests. "I don't think we have the equipment here."
** Al'verde looks at the data "Well we've got our next target" he says looking at Talon "We got some info but we still need to go back. By the way do me another favor and send Galen over, I need a new gunner for the time being." **
** Galen grumbles as Talon's com call awakens him. Filled in on what he's needed for, Galen heads to the Spire **
** Raik kisses Lucien. "I'll be back." Afterwards she moves to the cockpit of the Fortune's Fool and sits in the pilot's seat. While she's not a trained pilot, she's seen it enough time to start the pre-flight, **
Galen: ((Ah, sithspit...))
Alicia: Galen would notice the engines are starting up as he's about to leave
** Stark heads to the Fortune's Fool once he hears the preflight sequences engaged. **
** Al'verde opens the ramp allowing Talon to leave and Galen to enter "Ok Galen strap in and get ready for thing to hit the fan." **
** Galen quickly coms Talon and Al'verde and warns them of a potential shipjacking and races into the Spire, too injured to worry about fighting them personally. **
** Talon tries to race toward the Fool before the ramp closes. **
Al'verde: "Talon, double time" he says as he starts his pre-flight and makes sure his tractor beam is ready to go
** Raik turns around and starts to push buttons on the nav computer, hoping to bring up the return course to Lucien's Homeworld. She's not going to prevent Talon from getting onboard, as it was his ship after all. **
** Talon unshoulders his bowcaster and begins to walk towards the cockpit of the YT **
Alicia: Talon and Stark make it aboard. Rushing to the cockpit, Talon sees Raik in the pilot's seat, starting pre-flight
Talon: "Raik Muun, you are under arrest," Talon says, aiming his bowcaster at her.
Talon: "I'd say the list of crimes, but I don't have years."
** Raik returns to the control counsol, and closes the ramp. "I want to go Home." She says simply. **
Talon: "Power down the ship. NOW."
Al'verde: "Galen we may hbe fighting two battels here soon, just worry about any imp ships comming our way ok."
** Stark goes over the cockpit as well, what with Talon racing up there first. He arrives behind Talon while the bowcaster is trained on Raik. **
Galen: "Will do," Galen says, racing to a gun spot despite the pain.
** Raik seems unconcerened about the bowcaster once again being trained on her. As she starts to take off to the best of her ability. "Don't make this difficult. I just want to go Home." **
Talon: "Stand down, now!" he orders. He coms the others, and leaves the channel open. "She's trying to steal the ship," he reports.
** Raik ignores Talon, as she continues a course out of the atmosphere. **
** Al'verde watches the Fool start to lift off "Here we go." he said narrowig his eyes as he brings his HUD up and readies his tractor beam "Well you can tell her if she runs I'll chase her down" he says lifting the Spire off the groun **
Talon: "I'm sure you heard that," Talon says. "Let's make this easy."
Al'verde: He quicly comms the control center on the planet "This is Sargent Al'verde do not give any ships the exti routes till I say so."
Alicia: Al recieves an affirmative in halting basic
** Raik continues on course. Apparently unconcerned. **
** Stark has crosses his arms at this point, tucking his hands into his sleeves, waiting to make a decision. **
** Talon thinks he should have taken his shot when he had the chance. **
** Al'verde sighs "She doesn't get to run forom her problems any more" he says "Talon, hold onto something." he says firing up his tractor beam **
Alicia: As Raik begins to leave the atmosphere the sensors are suddenly bombarded by collision contacts, it will be an extremely trying task to navigate through the debris field surrounding the planet.
Alicia: Al, roll attack. Ava opposed grapple check (pilot's BAB)+36
** Talon tries to sit down in a chair and secure the crash webbing, while at the same time not giving Raik an opportunity to attack. **
Al'verde: Double Blaster Cannon, medium: [10,0,4] = (14); damage 72
Al'verde: Tractor Beam: [7,8,6] = (21) Grapple
Al'verde: ingore the first roll
Raik: [1d20+46 ] => [2,46] = (48) think
Alicia: Al fires up the tractor beam but it doesn't connect as Raik lifts the ship off into the atmosphere
Alicia: Raik and Al, pilot checks as you leave the atmosphere
Raik: [1d20+9 ] => [18,9] = (27) Pilot
Alicia: sec
Alicia: I was misreading it, Jasonr oll the opposed grapple
Al'verde: Grapple: [1d20+8+38 ] => [7,8,38] = (53) <-- replace ? with pilot's BAB-->
Alicia: ok, correction... the Fool is locked in the tractor beam
** Raik continues to work the throttle, trying to continue on the course she's set. **
Al'verde: "Talon try and lock down the weapons" Al'verde yells over the comm "Galen lock you weapons on the Fool Raik may try to shoot us out of the sky."
** Stark finds a place to sit down and brace himself. **
Talon: "Raik, surrender now," Talon says, preparing to shoot at Raik if she begins to use the pilot-manned guns on the YT. "You aren't going anywhere."
Alicia: The weapons on the Fool remain disarmed as the engines on it begin to groan at the strain of trying to get out of the tractor beam
Al'verde: "Raik!!!! sotp running from you fraking problems, unless you want to be a coward for the rest of your life."
** Galen takes aim at the Fool, hoping that he won't have to shoot it down. **
Raik: "I just want to go HOME!"
Al'verde: "
Al'verde: Well tough shit, you have to answer for what you've done!!"
Stark: "Unless you think home is on the debris belt around this rock, vaccuum sealed, frozen, and depressurized, maybe you should land the ship and wait for actual docking protocols. You remember protocols, don't you?"
** Raik turns and glares at Stark. "E chu ta." **
Alicia: another opposed grapple
Raik: [1d20+46 ] => [9,46] = (55)
Al'verde: Grapple: [1d20+8+38 ] => [9,8,38] = (55) <-- replace ? with pilot's BAB-->
Alicia: roll again
Al'verde: Grapple: [1d20+8+38 ] => [1,8,38] = (47) <-- replace ? with pilot's BAB-->
Raik: [1d20+46 ] => [9,46] = (55)
Al'verde: "Raik if you run I will fire"
Alicia: Raik manages to escape the tractor beam
** Al'verde opens the throttel up all the way trying to lock his tractor baeam on the Fool again **
** Galen sits at the gun station, waiting for the order to begin firing. **
Al'verde: "Galen fire past the Fool, try not to hit them"
** Galen fires the warning shot. **
** Raik continues to fly the Fool out of atmosphere. **
Alicia: Al Pilot check
Alicia: mm nm, the Spire is faster than the fool
Alicia: Roll your tractor beam attack again
Al'verde: Tractor Beam: [12,8,6] = (26) Grapple
Al'verde: Grapple: [1d20+8+38 ] => [3,8,38] = (49) <-- replace ? with pilot's BAB-->
Raik: [1d20+10+36 ] => [11,10,36] = (57)
Talon: "Raik, you can't escape. You'll end up dead with us, too. There's no way you can outrun the Spire and no way you can navigate that field, because I will sure as hells distract you if you try to do it using the Force."
** Al'verde sighs as he looks at Matsun and nods "Raik...last chance. You run Valin dies."
**Galen: "Oh, don't kill the bunny," Galen says on his private channel to Al."
** Raik turns dealy serious. "You wouldn't!" **
** Al'verde slows down "With you gone I have no reason to care for it. Valin may not die but I will drop it off on a planet with plenty of predaters, so most likely...it'll die" he sais in a cold tone "Someone is going to pay. Now you get to pick who it is." **
Talon: "With how angry he is," Talon says. "He'd do it."
Raik: "Fine." Raik replies, standing up and going back to the medbay.
** Stark thinks to himself .oO(This can't be how they resolve this...) **
Raik: [supper brb ] => supper brb
Talon: "Stark, secure them," Talon says as he takes control of the ship.
Talon: ((That was a let down, LOL))
** Stark gets up and follows after Raik. **
Alicia: Raik and Stark find Lucien on the floor, still deep in the trance.
Talon: "Al'verde, I'm back in control," Talon reports as he takes the controls.
** Al'verde lets out a sigh "Galen, stand down." **
** Galen lets out a relieved sigh as he slumps into the chair. **
Al'verde: "Talon was there anything else you need on the planet?"
Alicia: ((Taking over for Raik atm )) Raik moves to put Lucien back to rights, placing him back with some difficulty onto the medbed she had left him on
Talon: "Far as I know, we're fine," Talon replies.
** Al'verde comms the control center "This is sargent Al'verde do you guys need anything else before we leave?" **
Alicia: A negative comes through, followed by a hastily written message from Sartok.
** Al'verde reads the message **
Al'verde: "Right, please send the Spire and the Fool escape routes" he says before flipping channels "Talon plot a corse for the Resurgence...this is going to be one hell of a mission report"
Alicia: With the message they also send telemetry data to both ships allowing for them to leave the debris field
Talon: "You got that right," Talon says as he enters the coordinates for the way out of the system.
** Al'verde plots his coures and hopes for the best on the other side of the feild **
