Rebel Alliance: Freedom Fighters

2nd Lt. Gorwooken, wookie scout, VP/WP: 19/14

Groken goes to the nearest intercomm and growls loudly into it "RRRoonnnn! GRRRnnnnnoooo rrrrr"

for those who speak it [sblock]"It's fixed! Get us out of here now!"[/sblock]

Lt. Lyss Arkess, SpyNet infiltrator

“What did he say?”

“There are some weapons installed on this, but try to hold the fire for now, I'll see, if I can get our guest to give us some information, which might allow us to keep the fighters away.”

Lyss then proceeds to first bind the Imperial pilot's hands and feet together and than wakes him with a blaster pointing to his head.

"Dol Tarin to shuttle." The Kel Dor says flipping on the com unit. "What ever you do, get that shuttle and your crew out of here. Don't turn back. Leave that to Va Dien and I. Over and Out."

Sounding braver than he feels, the Kel Dor looks at the steadily shrinking planet beneath him and wishes it were a better place than this where he would die. Flipping on the com to his companion X-Wing, he says "Well, Va, let's buy the shuttle enough time to get out of here. I'm going to try to plot a short emergency jump for as soon as the shuttle gets clear and safe. That should buy enough time to plot a real jump to someplace useful... though, I fear that opportunity might not come. Over." Dol begins a long, slow U-Turn, with his eye on the scanners to see how the TIEs are approaching them and a loose hand on the stick for quick evasive maneuvers.

"RRRoonnnn! GRRRnnnnnoooo rrrrr"

- "All right! Full speed NOW!!!" Trual'Nuin tries to pilot the shuttle as fast as he can, up into the sky toward the silence of space. Then he will prepare to jump into hyperspace. [OOC: Pilot skill: +4 ; Astrogation: +6]

Va Dien hisses into the comm, "done and done." He confirms with his R2 unit to match Dol's first hyperspace jump then waits.

((Plotting a Hyperspace jump takes 1 minute[10 rounds]. Dol and Va Dien can have their astromech droids focus on this while they pilot and do whatever, but the main ship is going to need someone to focus on it. For the moment, looks to be Trual'Nuin. And Dol/Va Dien, can you please give me a location for your 'short jump' if you want to make one? I will attach a portion of the galaxy that your in and highlight Carida and the Roche base so you can figure out other nearby planets.))

As Va Dien and Dol bring their X-Wings around to face the oncoming TIEs, they see that the formation of enemy fighters has broken up slightly. You can see about nine flights of the TIEs, each flying in a diamond formation of four TIEs each. Though they are approaching quickly on all of you, only one of the diamonds is within firing range...and they aren't shooting yet.

By now, all of the ships have made it out of Carida's atmosphere and into space. In the blackness, you can see the shapes of at least three Star Destroyers and five other smaller ships that you can't identify from this distance. But thankfully, they seem to be at a good distance from you. The only enemy ships anywhere near you for the moment are the formations of TIEs that have followed from the planet.

Onboard the shuttle, and between the chaos that's slowly growing, the former pilot of the shuttle groans. His eyes open slowly to look into Lyss' blaster, and they widen slightly. Quickly, the man looks around the cockpit in a panic, but finds that he is bound and can only struggle slightly.

((Map attached...blue planet is Carida, greenish one is Roche.))

((OOC: AH... well if the astromech can't calculate a short jump quickly (a couple rounds) then I'd rather just have it calculate the proper jump to our rendezvous point. Thanks for the intel on how the jumps are made, I didn't know ))

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

((Well...you CAN take rounds off of that check, but each round you take off, the DC increases by +2.))

Lt. Lyss Arkess, SpyNet infiltrator

“You want to live? Here's your ticket. You give us your name, rank and identification codes, the same for this ship of yours, as well as a secure Imperial communication frequence, which could be used to sent off a message the rebels should not overhear. Tell me all that, and you will live... probably. At least we won't kill you then. There are a few TIEs behind us, who might not take my word as granted, though. We already have an escort, but we do not want to take chances, and both, you and me, want to get this shuttle away safely. I will give you exactly one chance to answer. Lend me a hand here and live, or... well... you see the other half of the deal here in my hand. Choice is yours!”
