Kay keeps running after the storm trooper, firing her blaster as she went. The Corellian was an expert shot with blaster pistols, had been the best in the academy in fact, and she knew she could make the shot if she didn't rush it. Taking a measured breath, the former rookie cop squeezes the trigger stud, sending out a burst of blue stun energy.
OOC: Move action to chase, Standard action to fire at the imperial Attack: 24
Damage: 21
Yuul tries out what few codes he has access to regarding the transport; failing that, he uses the very slicing computer the Imperials attached. Might as well, he thinks.
OOC
Use Computer check: 24 (assuming it needs to be hacked into)
Once inside, he brings up the ramp and rushes towards the pilot's chambers. On a commlink to Everyone: "Yuul here, transport secured, just getting her up and running, and will be taking off shortly. Any suggestions as to a pickup location welcome." He boots up the main computer, and hopes Kyne gets back very soon.
OOC: Did I mention that Istara gets out of the room Duerr's setting charges in? She's not entirely sure she trusts him not to blow everything up yet...
Comlink to Everyone: "Contact made with downed Blue Squadron pilot Flight Lt. Sya White. No Transponder Beacon detected. Enroute to our ship.
Thoughts."
While wondering if she would say yes to a diner date, Garret watches the Flight Lt. for a few moments following her frank answer looking to see if she may be deceiving him.
Assuming not he says "Lt. Kandor. Recon. Ma'am." as he lowers his weapon.
"You are lucky I detected your signal.
If you would like a ride of this rock I would request your cooperation while we make our way to the rendezvous point."
Assuming she is willing to capitulate Garret continues
"Stay about 20 meters behind me and take it quiet and slow. Contact me with you comlink if you need to, but only if you comlink is encrypted. Let me take care of any bucketheads that happen our way.
Use '1 long click' for you've been hit; '2 short clicks' for enemy sighted; '3 short' for being lost.
I will use 'short short long' for you to advance to me quietly; 'short short short long' for you to advance to me quickly; and 'short long short' for you to take cover and wait for me or my next signal;
Got it Ma'am?"
Assuming that all goes well, the sniper stealthily heads out towards the rendezvous point trying to keep us deep enough into the forest so that Imperials will not give us any problems, especially with 'little miss not-so-stealthy' back there. I will always be looking and listening for her to make sure that she is still coming and not in any trouble.
[OOC: I just picked a rank here that I thought might work for his station. Adjust it as you will. =)
I am also assuming that the 20 meters is workable, or is that too much? ]

Stormtrooper is up. He turns and fires at Kay. Attack is a 16. Misses.
Brings up Kay again. Her attack hits, and the stun is enough to bring him down.
That's the end of that.
Hearing the sound of Kay's boots behind him, the fleeing Stormtrooper spun around and leveled his blaster rifle at her. He still looked unsteady, though, and his shot went wide, catching the stone wall rather than her. Stopping, then, provided Kay with an even easier shot at him and her stun blast caught him perfectly. The trooper stumbled back a couple of steps before dropping his rifle and then, a moment later, crumpling down to the floor.
Within the data room, it only takes Deurr a short time to properly set the explosives. Properly placed, two of the devices prove to be sufficient enough, in theory, to take out everything within the room.
Istara:
Spoiler:
It looks like the Imperial was just looking through the data and downloading some of it to the datapad. As far as you can tell, none of it has been transmitted anywhere beyond that.
Yuul:
The Stormtroopers may have not gotten anywhere in slicing the freighter's hatch open, but it only took you a few short moments to do so. There was a simple hiss, and then the boarding ramp gently lowered down to the ground.
The interior of the ship is rather sparse and empty, though there are signs that its previous users in the form of a jacket draped across the pilot's chair and a few other small personal effects here and there. Powering the systems up looks like it will take a little time, but it looks like the ship is in working order.
As you begin to work on getting the ship's systems online, you see Kyne and the speeder bike come out of the forest and towards the transport. Over the comm, he reports to having taken down the fleeing Stormtrooper, and that he will join you aboard the ship after loading the speeder bike into the cargo hold.
Garret:
After you lower you weapon, Sya keeps her weapon up for a short moment and, before finally lowering her blaster pistol, "One of those types...wonderful. I'm not a bloody ma'am. I suggest watching the comms. Imperials are all over most of the channels. No idea if they've broken the encryptions yet, but I stayed off the channel for a reason...." she stopped long enough to listen to your plan and nodded, "I may be a pilot, but I do know how to stay low. Lead the way. I'll keep you in sight, Kandor."
OOC:
Spoiler:
In the jungle, 20m means it could be hard to spot things depending on how thick the area is...but generally, something in that ballpark is probably a safe bet for being workable.
Placing the Imperial's datapad in K2's storage unit, Istara moves to catch up with Kay and Viria.
"As near as I can tell," she says, "the Imperial hadn't transmitted anything. That's not how I would have worked things if I were in his place, but no one ever said Stormtroopers were smart."
Deurr considers a moment and finally decides to drop one of his thermal detonators in the middle of the room, just to be on the safe side before backing away. "Let's get away from here. The initial explosion won't be too big but it could harm the structures." He says to Istara and follows her down the corridor towards where the others went. When they're past the turn he opens a commlink to others. "Brace for a shake." Waiting just a second he sends the code to the explosives.
"I got the trooper that ran, and I am coming back around the corner, don't shoot me. Blow the room, group up, and its time to get out. We'll head out the rear hangar and try to steal the shuttle. If that plan doesn't work, we have the others standing by in the freighter to give us cover and pick us up. Everyone on board with that?" Kay asks over her commlink as she slides herself back around the corner slowly so as not to startle anyone, not wanting to catch a blaster while wearing the Imperial Officers uniform.
While she waits for the room to be blown, she'll retreive any grenades the storm troopers maybe carrying, to replace the ones she had used.
After the charges are set, Lia ends her rest, standing up straight after spending a few moments leaning against the wall. "All right," she says. "Let's go."

"I'm good to go. Let's just keep it moving, and hopefully they'll be too busy with the explosion to track us." That said, the doctor reloads her grenade launcher and waits to move out with the rest of the team.
When Deurr transmitted the signal to detonate the explosives, there was, indeed, a shake. There was an only slightly muffled explosion that echoed down the corridor to all of you before the walls shook a little too much for comfort. Layers of dust that were likely older than some of the metal plating on the walls were unsettled, but beyond that, nothing else dramatic occurred within the corridor.
Kay:
Spoiler:
You manage to find four usable frag grenades amongst the bodies.
Yuul:
By the time the transport's systems are all online and warmed up, Kyne has finished loading the speeder into the cargo hold and joined you in the somewhat cramped cockpit of the YT-2000. He checks the sensors to find that, thankfully, no Imperials seem to be in the immediate area and the TIEs that have been passing above somewhat regularly do not seem to have noticed you.
After a couple of minutes, however, the sensors do pick up something. One...two lifeforms nearby, likely humanoid but likely not Imperials due to the fact that there are only two.
Garret:
Turning and heading back towards the supposed location of the YT-2000, you do not encounter any Imperial forces. At least, not beyond the ships passing above but those have become so common to be easily ignored. Sya keeps her distance from you, nearly out of sight due to the jungle, though you can still make out her form moving slowly and carefully behind you.
It doesn't take long to reach a small clearing in the jungle. You identify it easily enough due to how the trees thin and then a metallic glint. Moving closer, you also see several white forms across the ground, though they look to be unmoving. It doesn't take much more looking to make out the rounded, symmetrical shape of the YT-2000 in the small clearing, and you also note that the boarding ramp looks to still be down.
"I want to give the rubble a quick once-over to make sure nothing useful survived the explosion." Istara said, heading back to the location where the datacenter was.
Garret waits for the Flight Lt. to get near. He motions towards the YT-2000.
"That's our ride home Lt."
He pulls out his electrobinocs and looks around for any bucketheads that may be about. When he feels it is safe he says:
"Wait here." He looks around and quickly makes his way to the boarding ramp.
He bangs on the ramp to, hopefully, gain their attention and yells into the entrance "Garret plus 1. Watch her if you can while I clean up out here."
He takes a kneeling position beneath it. Looks around with his scope. When it seems clear he motions for her to cross the clearing.
When she enters the ship he will start pulling in the imperial bodies and shoulder one of the rifles, that way there will not be so much evidence of their passing - and hey a few pieces of Storm Trooper armor can do the body good.
"I want to give the rubble a quick once-over to make sure nothing useful survived the explosion." Istara said, heading back to the location where the datacenter was.
"I've got your back. Let's check it quickly and get out of here before they catch us."
A quick return down the corridor to the data room proves that the explosives definitely did the trick. The door to the room was thrown into the comm center across the corridor, with the interior of the data room only filled with smoking, horribly burnt and destroyed chunks of computers, stone from the structure, and some durasteel support beams that the Alliance had put into place.
Considering how badly the structure had taken the blast and the look of what was left of the computers, it seemed safe to assume that there was no way to get anything out of them now.
Lia and Viria:
Spoiler:
This is only IF you're wearing the Stormtrooper helmets.
Spoiler:
Over the helmet comms, you can hear various surprised questions about the source of the explosion and its location. After a few moments, a harsh, very loud voice cuts in over all of the others and orders all available squads to check the building for any more hiding Rebel personnel.
Garret and Yuul:
"Not the worst ship I've ever seen..." Sya observes as she helps Garret to bring the bodies into the ship.
The area seems to be clear, and there are no signs of any nearby Imperial activity, discounting the activity above of course. Once the area is cleared of evidence of a fight, Kyne waits for the others to enter the ship again before closing the boarding ramp.
When they reach the cockpit, which was in no way designed for four people, Sya looks to the others curiously before asking aloud, "So what's the plan? Sit here and hope they don't spot us until we find an opening to get the hell out of here?"
"Ok, jobs done, time to go. Get that ship ready to lift off, you should be close enough to be on the scene in half a minute, wait for me one of us to broadcast 'Sithspit' as the go word." Kay says into her comm for the benifit of those on the ship.
"I'm first, Istara and Deur, drag the Imp, Lia, Viria, cover them with your rifles. We make it look like we captured the rebel scum after they set off the explosion." the corellian says with a crooked smirk.
Once the others are in position she gestures them forward and leads the way, mentally rehearsing how to orderaround the imp patrols that will most likely come running after the blast.
OOC: Ready an action to spend a force point on fools luck to give her +5 to her skills for the duration of an encounter leaving her with Bluff and Persuasion of +20.
