Rebel Alliance: Freedom Fighters

Lt. Lyss Arkess, SpyNet infiltrator

“It will just get worse, if we wait too long. They'll probably see us on the run, so we better run fast.”

Lyss sends a message via her comlink to the x-wings.

“We are heading out now. If you can, give us some cover fire! Aim for the Imperial shuttles near the entrance or the walkers. Lieutenant Arkess over and out.”

The next message is for the rebel shuttle.

“Lieutenant Arkess here. Prepare for quick evacuation, we are coming in.”

Va Dien cuts back in a sharp turn hoping to catch the last tie interceptor in a blaze of green, sending a message to Dol, "take out that bomber and then we'll raze the ground support together."

Major Trual'Nuin - duros noble (3rd lvl)

- "Ooooh.... I don't like that!! Our ship's there! Lets go and hope we don't get killed in the process!"

Trual'Nuin takes a deep breath, points the way where their starship is, and then runs at full speed toward it (blaster in hand ready). He just hope he will be able to make it alive...

Flight Group

"take out that bomber and then we'll raze the ground support together." Va Dien's synthesized voice rings in the Kel Dor's ears. "Check." Dol Torin replies. "Could you help me with this TIE on my aft? I've already taken a shot on the rear shields that broke through. I don't like this planet very much and don't want to make it my final resting place." Dol punches up the speed to close the distance on the TIE Bomber, knowing that if he doesn't get a good shot in on it now, the ground troops are in big trouble. The Kel Dor comes in hot and lets a barrage of laser fire down at the remaining Bomber.

Lt. Lyss Arkess, SpyNet infiltrator

Lyss waits at the entrance and waves everyone through, obviously intent of taking rear guard.

“Make haste, they are already swarming the area.”

((Because of timing issues and everything relying on this last bomber, reversing the usual order and doing the Flight Group first.))

Flight Group:

((Dol's is bringing his speed up to Ramming again as its the only way he can get close enough to fire on the bomber. His attack is an 18. Misses.))

Kicking up the speed and banking to intercept the last of the bombers, Dol fires off a quick barrage of shots. They seem to hang in the air for a moment, then the red streaks shoot off just behind the bomber.

((Va Dien's shot is a 28. Hits and T3 takes 76 damage. Boom.))

After a quick turn, Va Dien squeezes off a short series of laser fire. They hit easily, piercing the TIE in the cockpit ball and detonating the ion engine. As the flame clears, though, he can see the last TIE bomber still in one piece, flying right over the ground transport. In a short few seconds, both of the X-Wing pilots watch the TIE Bomber readjust its course. The slight move brings it right over the transport, and time seems to freeze as a large, blue glowing proton bomb is dropped from the ship's bomb bay.

It drops for an eternity, then hits. The explosion shoots up high, with pieces of the transport visible in many places. However, it is hard to tell if it was just a close shot or a full on hit. Though on the sensor screen there is no longer the usual blip where the small transport had been sitting on the ground.

Ground Group:

The entire group starts to follow all of your out of the sewer and towards the shuttle when you hear a sound. Up beyond the cliff, and X-Wing streaks to the nearby TIE Bomber. It fires off a salvo of shots, but the fall behind. The bomber quickly banks to its right, orienting itself and barreling forward. Then, just above the spot you remember hiding the shuttle, the bomber drops a large, bright blue proton bomb. It falls for a long moment before disappearing for only a half second.

A moment later, the ground shakes violently and there is a deafening explosion. A tower of flame shoots up, with a few noticable pieces of metal also going up with it. This stopped the group of Imperials, and the nearest officers just looked forward, trying to ask a question but not really finding the words at all.

Lt. Lyss Arkess, SpyNet infiltrator

“Damn, that was aimed for our ship as it seems. What now? We can still try to hijack one of the Imperial shuttles.”

Looking around, Lyss tries to make out, whether there would be a chance to get through to one of the Imperial shuttles, and if their own transport can be seen, to determine how bad the bomb hit.

Flight Group

Cursing his poor aim under his breath, Dol Tarin banks his X-Wing toward the bomber and fires again, not looking down, not wanting to know if the shuttle was hit or not... that was something he'd have to deal with later.

Flight Group

Va Dien hisses through his comm, then executes whatever manuever necessary to start raining scorched green down upon the walkers.

Lt. Lyss Arkess, SpyNet infiltrator

After a moment, Lyss realizes, that she needs to inform the flight group again.

“Lt. Arkess here, once you go for the ground troops, do NOT attack the shuttles. Repeat. Do NOT attack the shuttles. Aim for the walkers and troop amassments. We might need them to get off this rock.”
