Alicia: SESSION START
After arriving in the Imperial Center buoy IC-772 and contacting Imperial Center Control, Al'verde is directed to continue on a particular approach vector before the ship becomes and obstacle for other incoming ships. Approaching the spacelan, the ship’s collision warning abruptly sounds. An enormous Action VI bulk transport drops out of hyperspace out of position and crosses your path at an odd angle.
Avarna: ((Yes, Here.))
** Galen startles at the sudden intrusion and holds onto the nearest wall to steady himself. **
** Al'verde kills the thrusters and backs hare to port, tryimg to avoid the ship cursing in Mando'a fighing the urge to open fire **
Al'verde: banks hard*
Alicia: Pilot check Jason
Al'verde: Pilot: [1d20+16] => [9,16] = (25)
** Lucien braces himself for the sudden change in course when he hears the Klaxon even if he is unaware of the specific cause. **
** Edwani resists the urge to reach for the com controls and let out a litany of curses at the pilot of the bulk crusier, and would have if she'd been piloting. **
Alicia: Al'verde manages to turn a glancing collision into a near miss as he vears the Shadow Spire out of the other's ships path. From the engine room an unpleasent whine can be heard and an indicator on Al'verde's panel starts blinking red
** Galen steadies himself as the Firespray rights itself. "That doesn't sound good," he mutters under his breath as the whine of the engines is heard. **
** Edwani hearing the sound of the engines. Edwani turns and heads directly to the engine room, with a fire extigisher in hand.**
Al'verde: "Haar'chak!- I'm going to find that pilot and kill them!" he yells checking to see wohat is wrong
** Lucien gets out of the way of Edwani dashing down the hallway and then follows her into the engine room to see if he can offer any assistance with it. **
Galen: "Well, he may have a good explanation," Galen replies to Al'verde's words. "Hopefully very good..."
Kyle: Kyle stumbles out of his, "What is going on?"
Galen: "Some Action VI went out of hyperspace right in front of us.
Alicia: you see the sublight drive is down. please hold action
Kyle: "And Al didn't shoot them, wow he must be really pissed."
** Edwani seeing there is no need for the fire extigisher, She hands it over to Lucien to return to its proper place. She then gets out her tool kit. "It looks like the sublight engines are down. I'll try to fix them." **
Al'verde: "Son of a...the we're dead in space sright now." he says gritting his teeth as he flipps on the comm "Imperial Center this is Shadow Spire, some action VI bulk transport just cut me off and now my sublight enjines are down. What action do you want me to take?"
Edwani: [1d20+18] => [18,18] = (36) mechanics 
Alicia: The ship itself is still moving. Minor course corrections can be made with maneavering thrusters
** Lucien looks at Edwani for a second and says "Need a hand?" as he heads over toward the sublight drive wondering what exactly just happened, engines don't just fail like that. **
** Al'verde looks back "Yeah I know." **
Kyle: Kyle climbs into th copilot seat, "Need a hand?"
Al'verde: "Just don't frak around with them too much I don't want to have to reset all my settings"
Al'verde: "No I've got it" he snaps
Edwani: "I'll Frak around with them as much as it takes to get them moving again!" Edwani snaps back 
** Galen looks around the viewport of the ship to see if he can get a look at the Action VI. **
Alicia: The offending Action VI is long gone having made its way toward the planet
Galen: "Never a TIE fighter when you need one," Galen jokes.
Alicia: roll mechanics checks Ed and Lucien
** Lucien starts examining the engine while Edwani is working on it. **
Edwani: mechanics [1d20+18] => [17,18] = (35) 
Lucien: Mechanics: [1d20+12+0] => [9,12,0] = (21)
Alicia: Al'verde, pilot check
Al'verde: Pilot: [1d20+16] => [1,16] = (17)
Kyle: Kyle sits back and watches for traffic on the sensors
Alicia: Use Computer check Kyle
Edwani: "You have some blowing couplings, and the controls seem to have taken some damage. I can temporarily by-pass them. And have everything back up and running in a few hours." 
Kyle: Use Computer: [1d20+7] => [15,7] = (22)
Al'verde: "Fine then I'll come back and work on it speed things up"
Lucien: "Personally I wouldn't worry about fixing it, it really needs to be replaced with something more suitable for a ship like this otherwise you'll just have it happen again."
Al'verde: "
Alicia: Al had sent the ship into a slow spin as he attempted to make his way out of the lane but was able to readjust.
Al'verde: "Well I'm sorry but I've been a git busy trying to stay alive and other things, forgive me for not having the money to blow on new parts"
Al'verde: litte busy*
** Edwani sighs. "If you boys are going to fight, can it at least wait until after we have boots on the ground?" She then gets back to work on the engines. **
** Al'verde get up "Kyle keep an eye on things up here please" he says as he walks back to the engine room **
Kyle: Kyle give AL the thumbs up and monitors traffic
** Lucien smiles, "We aren't fighting, so anything you need to help get this working enough to get us on the ground?" **
** Galen keeps an eye out towards the other ships in the area. **
Al'verde: .me makes a few last adjusments, moving the Spire out of the lane
Al'verde: Pilot: [1d20+16] => [10,16] = (26)
Alicia: With a minor course correction to avoid colliding with another ship Al'verde finally manages to maneaver the ship out of the busy lane
** Al'verde walked back into the engine room pulling out his tools "Ok let me see waht all need to be done here" he says kneeling down beside Edwani **
Alicia: Ed and Al roll Mechanics to get started on repairs. Lucien roll if you want to help as well
Lucien: Mechanics: [1d20+12+0] => [1,12,0] = (13)
** Edwani is currently laying on her back, as she works a fused motivator out of its housing. Finally she pushes it out of the way, and it happens to land on the mandalorian's foot. **
Al'verde: (( heee Ed and Al ))
Edwani: [1d20+18] => [14,18] = (32) mechanics
Al'verde: (( and we sort of fit the part too :d looks wise ))
Al'verde: Mechanics: [1d20+13] => [4,13] = (17)
Alicia: Lucien and Al'verde get to work assisting Edwani in the repairs she's already started. With the three of you working together it won't take as long but will still take more than a couple hours to replace the couplings and motivators and repair the control system
** Galen spends the break getting all of his equipment in order, especially making sure that his falsified identification is easily in reach. **
** Lucien doesn't really have anything better to do at the moment and will continue to work on the engine, saying to Al, "As you can see, this is really a substandard model, imagine trying to use it while dogfighting it'd go down on the first turn making you a sitting duck." **
** Al'verde smiles "Well then, you can buy a new one, cause this one has not given me any trouble the entire time I've had this ship." **
Edwani: "Now Lucien, there is nothing wrong with these parts. Assuming you got them from a toydarian junk dealer." 
** Al'verde grits his teeth "Well then maybe you two can hichike back rether than riding on my toydarian junk ship." **
** Lucien looks over the engine, "If you are stilling running this drive by then it would definitely be the safer alternative." **
Al'verde: "I'll keep that in mind."
Kyle: "Maybe we need a better ship."
** Edwani gets up with a smudge of grease on her otherwise white skin. "Don't worry We'll get the ship patched up, And next time we'll buy the parts from a Zeltron." **
** Al'verde continues to work on his ship the rest of the time not saying a word **
Edwani: "Well, We have My ship back on the Resurgence." 
Kyle: "Why a Zeltron?"
** Lucien looks over at Edwani while he works and asks "Does it have an engine that works?" **
** Edwani grins at Kyle. "Lets just say they're "Fun" to do business with." She then looks at Lucien. "Sure Clunker should have everything in working order by the time we get back." **
** Al'verde looks at the others and mutter something to himself in Mando'a **
Kyle: "Relax if we land safely, this will not matter."
** Lucien continues working on the engine, wondering if any ship in the Galaxy has an engine that actually works reliably. **
Alicia: Eventually after a couple hours of work the engines come back online.
** Al'verde walks back up to the cockpit without a word and pilots the Spire back into the lane **
Lucien: "I think that should hold enough to get us down to the planet, might want to check it over a bit before we leave though if we can get the time."
** Edwani covered with grease and grim, head to the refresher. **
Kyle: "We should hurry before they send help."
** Lucien gets out from under the engine as well, also rather stained but just heads to his bunk to wipe off the majority of it and switch into another set of clothes for the moment since they should be on planet shortly. **
Alicia: With no further incident Al manages to take the Spire back into the approach vector. The trip itself will take a couple hours from where the Spire had come out of hyperspace. Along the way, pairs of TIE fighters and Imperial customs ships sweep the spacelane, scanning ships of interest.
Alicia: Al, pilot check
Al'verde: Pilot: [1d20+16] => [9,16] = (25)
Alicia: The custom ships seem to take no interest in the Spire as Al'verde manages to avoid suspicion with his flying.
** Lucien once he realises how far off course we are will wait for Edwani to finish with the refresher before using it himself, as he suddenly has plenty of time for it. **
Galen: "I hope they don't board us," Galen says, looking at the customs ship. He breathes a smile of relief as they pass them by.
Alicia: About halway through the journey, after about an hour has passes, a star destroyer drops out of hyperspace nearby and begins to proceed at maximum sublight speed toward the planet. Over the comm, Al can hear that all ships have been ordered to halt immediatly and allow the destroyer to pass.
** Al'verde slolwy backs off the throttel and watches as the destroyer passes by "I really hate the Empire." **
** Galen looks at the star destroyer from the viewport. "Same here," he echoes. **
** Lucien has no interest in the star destroyer flying passed, and is just relaxing on his bunk considering what to do when they arrive. **
Al'verde: "I wounder if that has something to do with the project?"
** Galen shrugs. "Possibly." **
** Lucien suddenly opens his eyes while relaxing on his bunk as if something just occured to him. **
Kyle: Use the Force: [1d20+17] => [10,17] = (27)
Alicia: The destroyer quickly passes by and soon after a patrol of the TIE fighters and some of the custom ships make a run around as Al is given the all clear to proceed
Kyle: "Uhm thats strange?"
Galen: "What?" Galen says to Kyle's question. "A star destroyer headed to Coruscant? Not really."
** Al'verde throttles up and press on "I just want to get my boots on the ground" he sas as he turns to Kyle "What's up?" **
** Lucien gets up from his bunk to head out to see what the others are up to **
Kyle: "I felt like I was being scanned by someone on that ship."
Galen: "Scanned? As in with the Force?"
Lucien: "What would that mean exactly?"
Al'verde: "That's just great. Well lets not act like we don't know, that way we don't draw attention."
Kyle: "I am not sure what it means, unless they come back for use. They may not have picked me up."
** Edwani comes out of the cabin after taking a quick nap, dressed as the brash pilot she was, and listening to the conversation. Then looks at Kyle "Force? Your a Jedi?" **
Kyle: Kyle looking at Edwani decideds to trust her, "Yes."
Galen: "Let's hope not," Galen says. Thinking that if one of the Empire's dark Jedi know that a trained Force user is on their way to the planet their mission is going to get a lot harder.
Edwani: "Fun." She says sitting down Trying to recall what she knows about Jedi and the Force. 
Kyle: Use the Force: [1d20+17] => [11,17] = (28)
Kyle: Kyle looking a Lucien, "Can we talk in private?"
Al'verde: "What's wrong?"
Al'verde: "and why do you need to hide it from us?"
** Lucien looks at Kyle, a little surprised at the abrupt request but replies with, "Of course." **
Kyle: Kyle walks towards his cabin.
** Lucien looks after Kyle and says, "I guess he isn't in a sharing mood." before he follows Kyle to his cabin. **
** Al'verde sighs and works on getting the Spire on the ground **
Kyle: "Did you feel it when that ship passed us?" Kyle looking Lucien eye to eye.
Edwani: "So Whats the plan?" She asks looking at Al.
** Lucien matches Kyle's gaze and says, "I did." **
Al'verde: "I was going to worry about getting my ship on the ground and go from there."
Kyle: "So you are also force sensitive, why didn't you ever dsay anything?"
Lucien: "I'm what now?"
Kyle: "You have the ability to use the force like me, you didn't know?"
** Lucien shakes his head, "No I didn't, I had been noticing some strange things lately but I had no idea I could use the force." **
Kyle: "You can and now you a bigger target like me. I can help train you but I am no Master. I will leave the decision up to you."
** Lucien thinks for a moment, "I'm guessing since you managed to detect what I am that other people can do so as well?" **
Kyle: "Yes, this also means between you and Raik your baby will also be force sensitive."
Galen: ((This could be good.))
Edwani: ((Kyle. Raik lost the baby on Nizon.))
** Lucien nods clealy saddened by the mention of the baby but deciding not to mention the loss to Kyle merely saying, "It's not unheard of in my family to have such talents, we've managed to keep the Imperials off our backs so far. I think I should be able to handle it on my own, but thank you for your offer." **
Galen: ((And right after that, she dropped a live thermal det. It's somewhat reasonable that he doesn't remember hearing it due to what happened afterward))
Kyle: "I will leave it to you whether or not to tell the rest."
Lucien: "I'm thinking not at the moment, they will have to know in time I suppose but right now we've got more important things to worry about."
Alicia: (( I might or might not lose my connection in a few ))
Al'verde: *sigh* ok
Alicia: (( dad is trying to be helpful ))
Kyle: "Ok, we should go back out. They will have questons."
Al'verde: (( that's fine ))
** Lucien nods and heads back out to rejoin the others **
Kyle: Kyle heads out towards the bridge area.
Kyle: "How much longertil we land."
Alicia: Al'verde has made it to the orbit of Imperial Center. Upon making orbit Al'verde is sent more instructions concerning the skylane to be used to reach the landing pad Verana and Varth reserved
** Galen watches the cityscape of Imperial Center as they navigate the skylanes. "It's so different," he says. **
** Lucien looks out as well, not really seeing these differences Galen claims exist, it looks pretty much the same as the other times he has been here. **
** Al'verde follows the instructions and lands the ship before going and putting on his armor and grabbing his new gun **
Alicia: Upon reaching orbit, Imperial Central control orders you into Landing Vector ICLV-0192R, one of the many skylanes jammed with traffic.
As you pass through the infinite cityscape of Imperial Center, the sun glows red as it drops behind the horizon, you can tell it is late evening. You see its burning red reflection off of thousands of speeders and ships crisscrossing the sky in unending lines. Impossibly tall metal and glass skyscrapers glow with a firelike intensity in the setting sun. 
Following the skylane, you approach a tall spire flanked with dozens of vaguely cloud-shaped exterior landing platforms at a multitude of levels. Each is a massive cantilevered structure, which also forms a single bridge to the spire itself.
** Galen gets ready to set foot on Imperial Center, still somewhat anxious about what might happen on the planet. **
Kyle: Kyle get a trechcoat style coat and joins the others.
** Edwani is double checking her blaster Its clear to anyone thats its been modified. She slips it into her holster, and checks that her combat gloves are fiting nicely. "So Everyone Ready?" **
Alicia: As you approach a female Human voice greets you, a stark contrast to the droid voice from center control. You are invited to land at platform CP32L. Even though this is a private facility, you are told that customs agents will be instpecting the ship.
** Galen can only nod at the Arkanian offshoot's question. **
** Al'verde lands the ship and hopes that the tech did there jobs **
Alicia: Al has no trouble landing the ship on the circular platform about twice the ship's size. Outside an Imperial customs agent waits impatiently flanked by 4 stormtroopers
** Galen does his best to look confident as he sees the customs agent and his security guard. **
** Lucien checks over his room to decide what to bring with him given they have a few possibiities for what they will need. **
** Al'verde looks at every one "Remeber to sime and play nice with with the agent." **
** Al'verde tosses the heavy repeater over his shoulder and makes sure the safty is on before opening the landing ramp **
** Edwani smiles. and pats Al on the shoulder. "I'll handle this." She said walking up to the officer, "Hello Sir, how are you doing?" **
** Lucien decides to leave his armour packed in a bag which he will sling over his shoulder, with his vibroblades inside, and will only have a couple of vibro daggers and a pair of blaster pistols on his belt when he heads out. **
Alicia: As you step out the agent says boredly. "I'm Agent Talee, welcome to Imperial Center. Please have all passengers disembark. If you have any illegal or unliscensed materials please present them now. I will need to verfiy your identities and your liscenses."
** Galen hands the Imperial inspector his credentials. **
** Lucien hands over his credentials as well **
Edwani: "Well Everyone here, But We're running empty at the moment. So there really isn't a reason to search the ship." Edwani replies, also handing over her ID.
Alicia: As Talee begins inspecting your credentials the stormtroopers head onboard.
** Al'verde walks out handing over his ID and his liscenses for all his weapons **
Kyle: Following everyones lead hands over his credentails
Alicia: "Who is the owner of the vessel?"
Al'verde: "I am."
Alicia: "i will need to see your pilot's liscense."
** Al'verde pulls it out and hands it over **
** Lucien says to the Inspector "Oh I have some heavier weaponry on the ship, but that will remain there while we are here, I only need it for when we are on some of the rougher outer planet. I'm sure you know how it is out there." **
Alicia: The agent had been looking at Kyle's papers most thoruoughly apparently having seen something suspicious, but he looks up when Kyle makes his suggestion. "Yes, they appear to be alright." He then goes to inspect everyone else's just as diligently
Kyle: Kyle takes his papers back and relaxes
Alicia: As he looks over Al'verde's he stops. "What business brings you to Imperial Center?"
Kyle: Kyle make a mental note to get better documents
** Lucien decides to let Al come up with the lie for this one **
Edwani: "Oh We're just doing some R&R. See the Imperial Museum and such." 
Al'verde: "Im here looking to see what the new IImperal Center is like. I tend to travle on the outer rim a lot hunting down bounties and whaty now. So I wanted to come to rest somewhere where I knew my ship would be safe."
Alicia: Talee looks over at Edwani and then at Al'verde. 
Alicia: He hands the liscenses back and finishes inspecting them. apparently finding nothing wrong with them he says. "Your credentials appear to be in order.
** Lucien nods and looks back at the ship, "How much longer do you think it will take your men to search the ship?" **
Alicia: The stormtroopers step off and one approaches Talee. "Your cargo matches that in your databanks."
Al'verde: "It should. I'm just hulling the;r equment around."
Alicia: He nods. "Well everything is in order. Enjoy your stat." He turns and with the troopers flanking him heads toward an aircar
** Lucien waits until they are gone and then says, "So where shall we head first?" **
Alicia: I appologize but this is a good place to end things and I'm still trying to get things straightened up here.
Galen: "Glad that's over with," Galen says as the head out of earshot. "We have a contact to get a hold of," he says, pulling the piece of paper out.
