Re: Session 5: Rodia to Tython

Tali'k make a Hard (three purple) Piloting or Lore roll.

After hearing Hailey mumbling to herself in the corridor, Jowmum figures he can wrestle with the computer later. He pulls out of the computer and joins Hailey.

You know, what if you and Boris hide on the thrid level, while I get the droid to turn the faulty reactor back on? If we are lucky, he will be extra nice and turn it on when they are in the room.

by Tzarina8472 Sat Jan 30, 2016 5:56 am

Hailey smiles. "Good idea. Do it. If that hunk of junk won't help you, do it yourself but don't worry by then if they're in the room or not. Oh, and when you do, make sure that droid is on our side of the reactor. I'm going to go find Boris."

by Shadow 8472 Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:02 am

Jowmum goes down to the reactor control room to talk to the droid about his plan.

Um, excuse me, <droid designation>, there is a situation. Some Sith are approaching and the Jedi I am traveling with is still here. Would you kindly turn the reactor back on to protect him? Bonus points if you can time it so it starts when they are in the room.

by Tzarina8472 Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:10 am

Hailey finds Boris and tells him everything she knows that Tali didn't already explain, including that the professor is dead and the sith apprentice is looking for her. "JM's having the reactor turned back on, so I hope you're cozy down here. I also think we should get on with finding whatever it was the professor was looking for down here; it might come in handy."

by d0e8r Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:25 am

"Sith? Here? Again? Oh my. Certainly. I'll turn it on right right now. Would you like me to increase power generation? I do not know how I would time it, though... What should I do if the sith find me?"

by Shadow 8472 Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:27 am

Correct me if I am wrong, but we can pass through safely while it is still warming up. Don't worry about timing it, though.

by d0e8r Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:29 am

You are wrong. Especially if I set it to ensure complete annihilation of the intruders. Also, how would I get back to the control room to shut it off later?

by Shadow 8472 Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:38 am

The explosives. I sure hope he will understand.

We can always figure something out later. As for getting you to safety, what about setting it on a timer or something? If there isn't one, just show me how to turn it on full blast while you go to safety. I think I can handle myself in a pinch.

I can go back to the archives and attract them into that room, then politely tell that computer of the Sith intruders. Worst case scenario, I just purposely trip the alarm once they are in the room and play hide and seekocate with them. Shouldn't be all that hard.

by d0e8r Sat Jan 30, 2016 7:13 am

I could set a timer cycle, I suppose, how much time do you want on it? And my primary programming is to service these generators. That is why I was concerned about finding a way back. If anyone stays here, it would make sense for me to do so.

by d0e8r Sat Jan 30, 2016 7:16 am

In the distance, Boris and hailey hear a muffled explosion. Dust and debris fall slowly from the ceiling. A few minutes later, Blaster shots. Then Ubese exclamations and voices, drawing closer...

by WryRai Sat Jan 30, 2016 7:29 am

Roll:

I can't seem to find a canyon big enough, but I keep looking for one, or some other cover.

by Shadow 8472 Sat Jan 30, 2016 7:53 am

I suppose we can hide in the archive. I can tell the computer about the Sith when the time comes, if we are found. Of course, we can also lure them into there then trigger the trap. Whatever we do, we had better hurry. I heard they already killed one of the Jedi with us.

*muffled explosion*

Whatever we do, we need to hurry!

by d0e8r Sat Jan 30, 2016 8:11 am

Actually, the roll wasn't to find a canyon. It was to remember an old smuggler pilot's trick, which Tali is evidently unaware of.

As Tali ascends from the landing platform, a holomessage is displayed on her ship's comm.

"Pilot of the VCX-100 designation "Aether Skiff": This is Commander Keira Govan with the Imperial Security Bureau. We have your ship on our scanners. Your presence in this sector is in direct violation of the Deep Space Security Net interdiction protocol. Furthermore, you have consorted with a known enemy of the Empire. I am giving you one chance and one chance only to surrender for interrogation. "

by d0e8r Sat Jan 30, 2016 8:15 am

GM's correction: I earlier, incorrectly, placed Tython in the outer Rim. In fact, it is located in the Deep Core, only a skip and a jump from Coruscant and Imperial presence and security here is quite thick... Since you didn't have knowledge of this earlier, in time to prepare, I'll have a few serendipitous events happen to give you a bit of a reprieve...

by d0e8r Sat Jan 30, 2016 5:22 pm

To find cover is an average piloting roll, with one purple and one red die.

by WryRai Sat Jan 30, 2016 5:47 pm

OOC sigh...:

Tali immediately halts her search, and takes a moment to calm herself. Then replies to the message.
Commander Govan, this is Captain Talik'Vrei. I submit to your interrogation. Where should I rendezvous?

by d0e8r Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:10 pm

"Meet me in orbit. Your cooperation is appreciated. I suspect you may have been deceived into coming here and am prepared to offer leniency."

by WryRai Sat Jan 30, 2016 6:48 pm

I appreciate the offer Commander. I'm setting an intercept course now. ETA 3 minutes. Please have docking instructions prepared.
Tali angles the ship up, and begins exiting the atmosphere.

by d0e8r Sat Jan 30, 2016 11:10 pm

As you ascend to orbit, you are greeted by the sight of a carrack-class cruiser... No sight of any of the destroyers previously here. You dock with it on the Commader's request. After exiting your ship, you are greeted by a human female flanked by several security personnel. She bows ever so slightly and stiffly.

"This way please." She says curtly.

She crisply signals to several troopers, who board the Aether Skiff and begin searching it thoroughly... The commander leads you to a dim, gray room, and dismisses her escort. "I'll handle this."

by d0e8r Sat Jan 30, 2016 11:34 pm

After the trooper's leave, Keira seals the door. With a flick of her wrist she deactivates her comm and turns off the security cam in the room's corner.

"Tali'k Vrei. A young, inexperienced pilot with the Corellian Engineering Corps. Took on a Bothan and a Droid passenger in Coruscant, who joined your crew

.:

. Your actions are of little concern to me personally, but your interference with a sith investigation has made things... Difficult. Protocol would state that you and your crew should pay for your crimes. And perhaps you will. However, your assistance in capturing Bandin Dobah has not been forgotten. And until this incident, neither you, nor your Bothan friend had run afoul of the law. Unlike my superior, I believe you were coerced into this job, possibly, under the influence of a Jedi mind trick

Mind trick:

. It's a pity those ingrates on Formos were unable to see an asset and work with you and your crew when they had a chance... And unfortunately, my Sith associate (who has departed us, thank the stars) is no better... My orders are to execute you and your crew promptly. I think my superior was being rash and hasty in that decision. But I must ask: was he right? Or are you willing to cooperate with me?"

GM's Clarification [Off-panel meta knowledge, read at your own risk!]:

by WryRai Sun Jan 31, 2016 12:51 am

I return the bow, and listen attentively to her every word.
On behalf of my crew, I apologize for any transgressions. I didn't know I was transporting a Jedi, nor that that was against the law, nor that this was restricted space. It would appear my inexperience has gotten me in some trouble. But as you can see by my prompt surrender, I would much prefer to work within the law.

by d0e8r Sun Jan 31, 2016 1:28 am

"I suspected as much... I can't give further details right now, but if you truly want to be of service to the Empire, gather your crew and proceed to the coordinates located on this data stick. Treachery will not be tolerated. Now, I really must apologize, sweety, but this is going to be necessary to keep scrutiny off of me for my leniency..."

She backhands Talik' hard, across the face doing one point of damage...

The doors hiss open, and two security guards come in.

"She told me what we needed. Did you find anything of interest aboard the ship?"

"No sir!"

"Very well. You are free to go. Don't forget what we discussed. Next time, the Empire may not be so lenient..."

Tali' thanks the force that she wasn't carrying any illegal cargo this time...

by WryRai Sun Jan 31, 2016 1:38 am

Rubbing my cheek. I undock from the cruiser. I set a course for the temple, but scan the area for the Lambda Shuttle before re-entry.
