[QUOTE="Super Girl, post: 2153434, member: 25964"] Kia smirked as she reached for the pile of credits that had been in the pot, sliding them into her pouch, she looked up at the Boss, "I guess today is just not your day," she quiped after beating him for almost the entire game. "I'll just use these to buy some upgrades and I'll be..." the teenager broke off at the sound of blaster pistols being drawn. "Aww, come on, no need to get so serious." she admonishes, looking down at the table for an instant. She connects with it through the force, and darts away from the table, using the force as runs to fling the table at the boss and the guards. She may not know everything about the force, but tables throwing themselves at people would certainly be a distraction. The CorSec girl ran at full tilt towards the landing pad, nearly knocking over a Kel-Dor. Without even slowing she called back over her shoulder "sorry, you should watch were I'm going." Her hair flapping in the wind as she runs, Kia makes it up the landing ramp of the Dawnsprinter just in time. She slaps the close ramp button behind her and moves on to the cockpitt without slowing. "No time for a full boot up, have to hot load." she muttered as she did exactly that, draining power from her Laser Cannon to feed into her engines. Slapping the button for the repulsar lifts, she cut them in, bouncing her off the hanger floor and towards the open exit.

God, what is it with Quarrens and being disagreeable, its not like he knew I was cheating or anything, he couldn't." Kia set the shields to double aft, and tried a reverse corkscrew maneuver that should have been enough to put her on their tails...if she had been in a snub fighter, but the YT 1300 was no snubbie, it was a transport, not made for fighting, it could be converted for more speed, and to add more weapons, it was what she had intended for the money, but intentions didn't count for much at the moment.
