Hayabusa's Dawn of Defiance: Chapter I: The Traitor's Gambit

On arrival

OOC:

Celebrating Post #2000!

I dropped it here, my 1st game at EnWorld.

Seeing as they have exited hyperspace, Mack says, "Maybe we should continue this discussion another time, eh?"

---------------------

Mack gives Okeefe another look and a sheepish grin, hoping she might take pity on him. With no reaction from her, he shrugs his shoulders, grabs his gear, and asks Sloor, "Can you please help me carry our looted equipment, buddy?"

Seeing as they are giving us rooms, he will offer to store it there until we can figure out how we are disposing of it. Mir will find him there.

Using Sloor's example to help make his point, Mack replies, "I imagine it will take some weakening of those legs for us to gain access to the head to begin with. More than likely it will take both."

"Besides, just killing the emperor is not enough. We will need to have an influence in whatever fills that hole in power. I suspect that's where our benefactor will come in."

"Alright," agrees Sloor, settling back into a more relaxed planning mode -- AKA fix the galaxy in ten drinks or less. "Let's cancentrate awn the bits us enfawrcers have an impact awn fawr naw, right? Haw are we gawing taw weaken thawse legs?" He looks around as an aside, "Is there *really* naw booze awn this flight? Maybe the captain stashed a bawttle sawmewhere fawr persawnnal use... TB, cawld you have a look and see?"

"I suppose that I *am* impersonating a drink cabinet at the moment," shrugs the droid. As it rises from its squatting pose and rises into the air though, the ship does that sudden forward rush that means the Banshee has just reverted back into realspace.

"Frekking hawpe they have *entertainement* in this place!" Sloor slaps his knees and gets up. His face gets back to serious mode for a moment though as he wraps two (overly) friendly arms around Mack's shoulders, "You think abawt this thaw: You kick a man in the balls, he’ll think twice abawt his career chawce. You kill him instead - well - you get a dawzen awf his pals cawnvinced *they* shawld jawin up and kick *your* sawrry ass. You're a sawldier: you *knaw* haw the awther side thinks."

"TB, you grab a bit too, alright?" The besalisk grabs more than his fair share, a bit worried about the limited market though: "Dan't think we'll be able taw sell much awf this *here*, Mack man, nawt if we want any king awf a price! I'll.... look up the quatermaster thaw, HE might be willing taw trade fawr a thing awr three. Great pullawt as always, Sra!" He gives O'Keefe a thumbs up and a couple of shoulder slaps as he passes by the cockpit. "Hawpe taw have you awn the next awne taw!"

TB tweets at Crash as it goes by as well.

«Persuassion \ Improve Attitude on captain O'keefe (hopefully to Friendly or Helpful): 1d20+9=23

«Possum, Sloor will try to trade/sell their loot to the quatermaster -- favors might work as well. He'll keep one carbine for himself. Persuassion\Haggle roll if needed: 1d20+9=12. Quatermaster's a tough cookie to crack, apparently.

OOC:

And here I am, on 1,800. Congrats, everyone.

The Banshee docks with the Resurgance in its largest and primary hangar bay. As you exit the craft, you can see a group of rebel naval personnel milling about, doing their normal jobs. A small security team walks towards you and escorts Admiral Varth to a secure portion of the ship where he can be debriefed on his recent defection.

Another teams heads towards you. "We've been expecting you," the leader of it says in an Alderaanian accent. "Please follow me, we want to know what went on during the mission."

After your own debriefing, you are lead to your private quarters and then are granted the audience with Captain Verana.

Sloor leans closer, elbow on knee, "Saw when did you start having dawbts then?"

«No answer to this from Varth?

Sorry, missed that in the interim

"I began to see how the Empire was acting towards its citizens, and the many casualty reports for whatever it is that they're doing with their new project. It simply became too much for me."

perrinmiller · Feb 20, 2011

Mack looks around to see who else is present at this meeting with Captain Verana, "So, what's going on, Cap'n?"

He takes a seat, expecting to be told why they are here on the ship instead of returning back to Alderaan. He is ready to ask about important issues if they are not presented; mainly loot disposal, alcoholic beverages and female companionship for R&R.

“Saw you think the rebellian has *a chance* awf winning this thing then? Your fellaw awfficers turning awer way when we shawve the evidence in their frekking face maybe?” Some people are squeamish that way.

"Keep in tawch, Varth man. You ever need sawwme muscles, you knaw where taw look!" Never hurts to advertise.

Sloor keeps it simple. He’s never liked the law and order types to begin with and this feels way too much like a police “interview” for his liking. They are frekking lucky he's talking to them at all!

“Let’s get this awver frekking quick alright? We gawt in, gawt shawt dawn by this handydandy stardestrawyer and had taw frecsing *walk* taw the frekking prison camp through the frekking wawrse mushroom jungle I’ve ever frekking seen! It was a frekking planet, I’ll grant you - balls awf gunk left taw rawt fawr a cawple awf hundre millian years the lawt awf them – but still... Stawpped awver at a village awf natives fawr a rest but gawt spawted by a hawverbike patrawl while we were there -- had taw chase them dawn awn the backs of frekking *Kybucks*! After that a native guide shawed us taw a secret entrance taw the prison and gawt killed fawr his trawble -- Verimak, nawte that *dawn*, in frekking CAPITALS. His name was VE-RI-MAK. Prisan turned awt taw be mawre awf a frekking biawweapan lab then a hawlding camp like we were tawld: wawrking hard at putting blades and crazy brains awn the natives... Anyways, we gawt in alright, but tripped the alarm abawt mid-way thraw. Strange thing was, after we beat the crap awt of the first-respanse team, the awthers seemed cantent enawgh taw just keep us inside the building. They anly flawded-in when the Banshee shawed up and it lawked like we were gawing taw get away... which we did anyway.”

He stops a beat or two to ponder on that one yet again... “That inquisitawr Dracaw spirk prawbably had sawmthing taw daw with it now that I think abawt it – wanted taw cawme dawn frawm awrbit and daw the jawb himself awr sawmething – but it didn’t hurt any that the base cawmander had gawne a little funny in the head himself, I suppawse.” Now that he thinks about it though, the spirk *could* have sent his personnel out the roof access when they locked down the base and stayed behind with the felucians in a heroic bid to defend the place himself! Frek, the guy was probably a frekking mad hero-type like Mir!

Don’t really need to mention that to these rebellion-types though: “And that’s abawt it. You gawt questians, better make it quick... Fawr... Three... Twa... Awn.” And he’s out of there. Frekking officers.

Sloor has other things on his mind and goes over the captain’s head for now: “You knaw, Mack man, it came back taw me during debrief but thawse interfering mushrooms really saved awer backsides dawn there. If we’re gawing taw keep dawing this type awf frek, we shawld kit up TB with sawme marbling-gawd jamming tech, right?” He grins wide, taking in Verana for the first time: “Awn the Nebulan’s cred, awf cawrse.” Business expenses.

« I'll be incommunicado tomorrow, folks. Back Tuesday.

Mack replies to Sloor and shows him is datapad, "Yeah huh, sounds fine. I have been inventorying our gear and making a list of things we should try and obtain while we are here. We need to talk about upgrades and programming for TB too."

OOC:

I listed the loot and stuff in the OOC thread for discussion.

Mir wonders in on Mack and Sloor... "Morning boys. I hope you both slept well in an actual bed?" She smiles and grins...

"So, we are adding some upgrades to TB?" the woman asks.

perrinmiller · Feb 22, 2011

Mack looks up at Mir's approach and replies, "Mornin'. Yeah, look here at our inventory and some items we should purchase before splitting up the loot. It already takes into account paying out Keyton's share since he is splitting on us."

"I think we can increase TB's medic capabilities with a little equipment and some programming for him to do surgery."

OOC:

The listed loot and stuff is in the OOC thread.
