Dawn of Defiance

Surussk is a bit overwhelmed by the fancy surroundings. Much different than the small town he grew up in. Even when he was working his way across the galaxy on freighter, all he saw was warehouses and spaceports. Nothing like this. Careful not to bump into anything and break it, he drinks what ever is offered and stares around like a tourist.

The doors to the Grand Hall open, and in strides a middle-aged man
who has a well-kept goatee and is wearing Senatorial robes. Easily
recognizable as Bail Organa, he smiles and nods to the servants
before turning to you. “Welcome to Alderaan,” he says. “I had hoped
we might meet under more pleasant circumstances, but
unfortunately the Empire makes almost everything unpleasant. Still,
I am glad to see that the . . . difficulties at the spaceport above
Brentaal didn’t impede you too much."

"First of all i would personally like to thank you for rescueing one of my
personal bodyguards. Furthermore i would like to thank you for bringing me
vital information which delivers a speck of hope to those willing to stand up
against the Empire, if covertly"



“I’ve asked you to join me today because the agents of mine that
you rescued seem to think you can be trusted. Since you worked
hard to help them, I believe I can put my faith in you as well.
I have a task that needs to be completed, but unfortunately my status as a
Senator prevents me from taking care of it myself, or even from
sending someone directly associated with the Royal Family."

“The planet Felucia was ravaged during the Clone Wars, but once
the fighting was over, the Empire set up a permanent facility on the
world. Nothing large—just a small garrison where they could keep
prisoners out of the way. Some months ago, I was contacted by an
Imperial Admiral who was disillusioned with the way the Empire had
twisted the once-great Republic, and he began feeding me sensitive
information. A little over a week ago, that communication stopped.
The agent you just rescued has told me that the Admiral has been
taken to Felucia, where he is being held against his will.
I’d like you to learn what has become of him, and rescue him if you can.”

"Of course it is up to you to decide whether you want to accept this quest.
Your group would be perfectly skilled for the task and i'm afraid we won't easily
find anyone as heroic. Now I am at your disposal if you have any more questions..."

He bows graceously and awaits any questions you want to as him...
 

"Felucia? It's a forest planet right? Filled with dangerous wildlife." Alder tried to think of a way to refer his master without the word "master". It would raise unwanted questions. Finally he continued. "A relative of mine told me about it once."
 

"Self does not find information of that planet in its database self friend Karnof"

"It is a heavy vegetated world EF-8, abundant in all type of creatures. Not much to say about it. Although, we could take a close view to it if we go there to rescue that admiral... It will be a nice present to our friend the Emperor"


"Affirmative self friend Karnof."

"Self will accept this mission."
States EF-8, with his emotionless red eyes.
 



Organa turns towards Duella and tells her: "Admiral Gilder Varth is a veteran of the Clone
Wars and an honorable man. He commanded one of the ships at the Battle of Coruscant and was promoted for bravery. His loyalty to the Empire seemed unwavering, but once you’ve seen what he has seen . . .”

He then turns towards the whole group, going over the specs of their mission:
"Concerning Felucia, think Dense overgrowth, huge fungi, and massive creatures are the order of the day. It’s a wild, untamed planet, and you should be careful to avoid much of the local wildlife."

"The Imperial presence on Felucia is light. The facility itself is a secret, so they do not advertise its presence with large numbers of troops. Our knowledge of the facility’s
existence is our greatest advantage. Additionally, you shouldn’t be going anywhere near the planet’s major cities, so you should be able to travel largely undetected."

"That's about all i can tell you. If you please then you can stay on Alderaan for two days or so, and then you can rendezvous at the intelligence center with Captain Okeefe, she'll be your assigned pilot. She's freelance though, and a bit...wel you'll soon find out. She's a trusted friend, i'd trust her with my own life. At the Intel Center you can do some minor acquisitions if you wish, and you can be issued some camouflage clothing along with any other available gear you think you might need. We're a peaceful palnet though, so we don't have many weapons."

"That is all my friends, i will have to leave you now for i have some other matter to attend to. Koyi, if you'd like to come with me, i have a special assignment for you..."

Koyi is lead away and you are all granted a royal suite to rest and prepare for the following days.

[OOC: Okay people, some major stuff now. All of you gain one level, which means you're all level 2 now. Please make the according changes to your charactersheet and make the choices you think appropriate. When you are done, you can tell me what extra feats or talents or stuff you've chosen by using brackets as i am doing now. Also some Destiny bonusses will be granted, effective as soon as you land on Felucia, to: Koyi (out), Alder, Kered, Duella. One last thing, if you desire to buy an equipment, again let me know by brackets and i'll set up an in-game shop or something where you can buy what you need, if deemed reasonable. And feel free to RP some more of course, you level 2's! Oh, and congratulations! PS: i reward for good RP'ing as well as inventive gameplay, both of which you've all clearly shown.]
 

"So how about that drink then? The cantina serves excellent roasted gorak also. It's about time to get some real food once in a while." Alder says with an obvious delight after Senator leaves. He had always liked the Alderaanian food.
 


"Food sound excellent." Kered hears EF-8's comments and turns to the droid, "Be sure to let me know if you need any aid in installing those new components you are looking for."





ooc: I posted the updated Kered in the OOC thread...... two alternate versions. Lemme know which one to go with. Also, is there any way I can get a rifle? I only have 5 credits though lol :(
