Dawn of Defiance

[Blackrat]

Alder leads the group to a nearby cantina and shows EF where the nearest droid-part shop is. "You have to try the gorak." he says to Kered. "It's absolutely delicious."

[sblock=OOC]Oh yeah. OTS's comment about money reminded me. Did we get any credits for delivering the agent?

I'll update Alder ASAP. I'm having troubles deciding wether to take Force Training or Weapon Finesse. Both have merits and I'll take the other on next level anyway, but now I need to decide which I need now.[/sblock]

 

[Voda Vosa]

When Alder shows EF-8 where the nearest droid-part shop was:

"Give this good man our thanks EF-8"

"Affirmative self friend Karnof"

"Self and self friend give you 'thanks' " EF-8 quotes, before getting in the shop.

[sblock=OOC]I would like to know what pieces of equipment are there to buy. And I was wondering, should I made the level up for EF-8, or should it be wise to wait if dragoon shows up?[/sblock]

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."

"Sounds like my kind of place," says Surussk. He will take advantage of the two days to rest up, and make sure his equipment is in good operating order.

"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.

"Now you're talking. Real food that I can sink my teeth into sounds perfect. Lead the way!"

Two days have passed as you all make your way to the Intelligence Center to pick up your necessary equipment, and for picking up EF-8, who underwent some repairs, perhaps even some minor reprogramming to suit him better on Felucian soil and whatever else you deem necessary...

Once you're ready you are all escorted to the landing platform where you'll find the Banshee and are instructed to wait for it's pilot...

[OOC: okay people, i'll give you my apparently much needed counsel on your levels, skill sets and whatnot. Let's see: Alder would be ebst to choose combat over Force training this time, with the shooting and all that. Kered would best go for scoundrel and specifically slicer-ish stuff. Duella's free to progress as you see fit. Surussk will probably go for something soldier-ish and finally Voda is free to ask whatever he wants for EF-8 and i'll see if Alderaan wil provide Also, if you all want to change in, swap or buy equipment here, just tell me what you'd lke to buy and i'll see if it's available. Weapons will be limited though.]

 

[Voda Vosa]

OOC: Any armor improvement will be nice, some rust protection and waterproof will be necessary too.

 

[Wintergypsy]

You all assemble on the main flight deck, except for Koyi who has been given a seperate spying assignment which is top-secret. All of you have been given or bought new equipment belts, which include grapple hooks and meds and other ggadgets (see sourcebook). Besides your usual clothes you have all been awarded "commando equipment", though as far as that concerns Alderaan, it exists only of camouflage clothing which will make it harder for you to be visually detected (think the Endor clothing from ROTJ).

What concerns weapons...Alderaan has practically none, so the heroes are carrying their usual gear, with one exeption: you have been dealt 4 explosives, to be divided as you wish. But the biggest change of looks is on..EF-8! He has not only been dealt waterproof armor with rust protection but het got himself a camouflage paint-job. It's a bit of a silly idea for a robot, but it'll surely help on Felucia.

The Banshee 's landing ramp goes down and you see a beautiful woman coming down the ramp. She has the looks of a princess as well as those of a nasty smuggler and it's immediately obvious she's not someone to mess with. "Okay there people, i'm Cpt. Sirona Okeefe and i've been tasked to ferry you guys around the galaxy, it appears. But no doubt yoiu'll prove an interesting bunch to babysit". A wild and charming grin crosses her face. "Come on, we ain't got all day, let's get aboard!".

On board you meet the second member of the crew...a droid! Okeefe turns to you to introduce the droid, who is busy preparing the flight's controls: "Everyone, this is my trusty co-pilot...his nickname's Crash, but i wouldn't worry to much abou that". The robot gives a short responce in a tpne that sounds remarkably relaxed for a busy droid: "Yup, howdie."

You all strap in your seats as the Banshee lifts off and soon you see the lines of hyperspace appear in front of you...

[OOC: had computer troubles, landing on Felucia should be for around Monday. As for Crash's looks, think the Alpha look form power Rangers, if any of you ever saw that...
Voda, feel free to post a level 2 EF-8 in the Rogues gallery; only light armor and if you can pay it though. Standard prices.]

 

[Blackrat]

Alder introduces himself to their captain and sits down. "So Crash huh. Hope you don't prove to be worth that name."

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Kered waits until they are in space before he walks around the ship, looking at nothing in particular.

 

[Wintergypsy]

As the blue tunnel of hyperspace fades away and the pinpoints of stars fill the windows of the cockpit, you get a brief glimpse of the planet Felucia hanging just below your ship. RX-13 aka "Crash"s voice sounds hollow through the ship's crackling speakers: "The followed trajectory was perfect and vector analysis indicates that the navcom should be sending us in trajectory straight to the Imperial prison facility". Almost instantly your eyes are drawn to the dagger-shaped starship looming ahead of you—
an Imperial Star Destroyer.

“Hold on,” Captain Okeefe says, “We’re in for a bumpy ride.” With that, the captain slams the control stick forward, sending the ship tumbling rapidly into the atmosphere of the planet. As the Banshee passes through the thin cloud layer, you get a good look at the fungal swamps and jungles of Felucia, where towering mushrooms reach up into the air like skyscrapers.

It would be beautiful if it weren’t rushing up at you so quickly.
Eventually, Captain Okeefe pulls the ship out of its dive, a move accompanied by the sounds of metal shearing from somewhere in the rear of the ship. The transport lurches, nearly throwing each of you to the ground, and dips sickeningly down toward the fungal
canopy. Another massive bump jostles the ship before the captain brings the vessel to a screeching halt, resting deep within the mushroom jungles.

When the dust settles, Captain Okeefe and Crash quickly move around the ship, assessing the damage and ensuring that no one is injured. After a few minutes, the captain opens the hatch and steps outside into the jungle. The thick, humid air seeps into the ship almost immediately...

[Welcome to Felucia !]

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Damn woman! That was a terrible landing! Remember: You should punish her after our mission is over."

"Affirmative self friend Karnof, terminating captain now"

"No! I said AFTER. That crash maybe shake your processor, or is that you don't remember that without that woman we are trapped in this smelling swamp?"

"Requesting apologizes"

"Fine, fine, now step up and lets get out of this fish can."

EF-8 rises from the ship floor, and take his weapon and equipment. He steps next to the exit door. "Unit ready" he states.

After the door was opened, EF-8 walks down, holding his rifle, and scans the area for any possible enemy or hostile creature.
