Deeper Education [IC]

Tolark concentrates with remarkable clarity, drawing easily upon the Force to pull Sylara and the wounded students carefully up the shaft. But as Sylara comes closer, Tolark suddenly feels his strength waning, and his control over the Force begins to weaken.

By the time Sylara is within eight meters of the hole, Tolark has completely lost his access to the Force. Luckily, Sylara's remarkable endurance allows him to keep climbing for a few more rungs, making it close enough to the top that Tolark is able to reach into the shaft and help him the rest of the way.

Sylara slumps to the floor, exhausted. Sol, still strapped to Sylara's back, looks unnaturally pale, his skin a strange shade of white-green. Zeth is completely unconcious, and his breathing seems shallow.

"I can do you one better than that, Tyren," Jodan says with a grin. "Thanks to Bri's link with the master controls, I can also check the medical scanners and see if anyone is hurt." Jodan taps a few controls. "There you go. I've also transmitted this to all of the other instructors."

The Deeprunner is away at full power. Magus sits at the main controls, grinning wildly, while Gimto frowns as he manages systems control at the co-pilot's chair. "I'm a little worried about our level of speed, Magus. There's a lot of turbulence, mostly due to the storm, I guess, and since those things don't seem to be following us, I don't see why..."

"Relax, 'captain'. I'm trying to get us clear of the storm, for your information." Despite Magus' confidence, the Deeprunner is vibrating constantly, and seems unsteady. "While we're in the middle of choppy waters, the sensors don't work as well as I'd like. We've gotta get clear so that if one of those things--or something worse-- comes after us, I'll be able to see 'em."

Gimto casts an uncertain glance at Aayla, who shivers as if cold. "I'll go check on the other students, Master Tyren," she says. "I want to make sure everyone is secured." Aayla heads back to the Deeprunner's cargo area.

Nor takes a few moments to line up his shot. The bulky creature trashes closer and closer to the ship's platform, the water around it turning murkier and more disgusting as it continues to ooze blood. The entire landing area is illuminated as the War Pig fires, a lance of pure green energy that shreds the creature, ripping through flesh and bone in an instant.

"Hey, boss? All clear!" Wayne seems to be right. As Nor checks his screens, he sees that the water around the Academy filled less with squid creatures and more with gore and blood. The water is wild, whipped into a frenzy by the high winds of the storm, but no creatures appear to be actively making their way toward the Academy at the moment.

Atharias looks down into the blood-filled water, an expression of dismay on his face. "So much carnage..."

"I can do you one better than that, Tyren," Jodan says with a grin. "Thanks to Bri's link with the master controls, I can also check the medical scanners and see if anyone is hurt." Jodan taps a few controls. "There you go. I've also transmitted this to all of the other instructors."

Tyren raises an eyebrow and regards Master Jodan's seemingly sunny disposition with concern. Tyren says to him, Thank you. though his suspicous demeanor seems to steal the gratitude from the statement. Tyren waits a moment and says, You do realize that we're not out of danger yet. Without waiting for a response Tyren walks towards his pilots as he lets out a sigh.

The Deeprunner is away at full power. Magus sits at the main controls, grinning wildly, while Gimto frowns as he manages systems control at the co-pilot's chair.

"While we're in the middle of choppy waters, the sensors don't work as well as I'd like. We've gotta get clear so that if one of those things--or something worse-- comes after us, I'll be able to see 'em."

Tyren listens to their conversation and says blandly, with no insult in his tone, Mr. Irimore, I know that I told you to get us out of here as fast as you could, but if this vessel breaks apart, we'll be just as dead as we would be if those things got us. I do not doubt your abilities, and I know that you two know more about this Deeprunner then I do, so I leave our fates in your good judgement, but I do recommend you listen to your senior padawan. I'm sure you'll find that Mr. Leepto is very knowedgable and wise, just as I have. Tyren then turns to Gimto and says, Mr. Leepto, in your opinion, can we afford to slow down to a safer speed and still out run these things? Maybe we could go deeper into the water as we move forward so that we are not as affected by the storm? Then speaking to both of them Tyren says, I trust both of your opinions, but I don't think that we can't afford either extreme. What is our best course of action?

Gimto casts an uncertain glance at Aayla, who shivers as if cold. "I'll go check on the other students, Master Tyren," she says. "I want to make sure everyone is secured." Aayla heads back to the Deeprunner's cargo area.

Noticing Aayla's shiver, Tyren says, What's wrong? Have you felt something? If so, I would like to know. If Aayla has something to say then Tyren will listen closely, if she has nothing special to report, Tyren says, While you're back there, please take a moment and tend Kyra, she is still hurt. Use the Force to mend her if you must. Either way I know you will do your best.

There is not much time, but I must take a brief moment and catch my breath. We must still get these students up to the landing platform. Checking his communicator he notices the location of the two students and the instructor on deck 3 who appear to be in danger. It seems that instructor Xual and some students are in trouble, Master Tolark can you get these children up to the landing pad? Please wait for me, but if the situation becomes too desperate leave with out me.

OOC:
If necessary to regain enough stamina to continue Sylara will step aside and heal himself. Then continue back down to deck 3 (only one floor) to see what he can do to assist the other jedi.

Hi All, sorry got slamed by RL over the weekend and then managed to get my wallet stolen. Needless to say I have lots to run around and do to fix that scenario, so I probably won't be posting before tomorrow.
Feel free to NPC Nor for a bit if needed

OOC: I'm sorry, but I feel it's best if I put this game on hiatus. I have to be straight with you: I really, really loved this game. You guys have been fanatstic players, and the story was amazing because of you. But I'm finding that I just don't have the stuff to keep it going. I could offer you a lot of excuses, such as how I'm really wanting to put more energy into my face-to-face game, but the truth is that I just don't have the skills to live up to what's been started here.

I'm very sorry. I hope that you can accept my apologies.

 

[Master Tyren]

OOC: D'oh!

That's ok I forgive you.

 

[allpowerfulbob]

No worries at all sir, I totally understand. It's been great to meet you all, have fun!

 

[Fenris2]

Aww poopie pants. Well, It was a great adventure while it lasted. Thanks for running it. Of course, now you leave me wondering just what all was going on in game. ;-)
