"Too much can go wron at the station. They might sacrifice us to keep the peace, they might want to hold us there untill Nell-C can come up with a cover story, they might attack and kill some civvies,...
We'll refuel, and jump the moment things get too hairy.
Take us in as fast as we can, and if you're religious, you'd better start praying. I want full defense, jamm their sensors with all we've got, laser defense against missiles, and I want every last bit of power these engines can give us."

"Ok then. Its a fast refueling and then a jump out of here."
"I still think that we should have tried boarding the cruiser," he mutters under his breath as he turns his attention to the controls in front of him. He takes a breath. He begins preparing for the task ahead.
"OK people, give me what I need."
ooc: courses, way points, vectors, whatever. Not really sure but I'm sure that there is something.

'Whatever you say captain" Tomas' concedes, although he i not certain that this is the best option.
His face is a grim mask as he sets himself to the triggers of his guns ready to defend against anything that might get thrown at them. He can feel the muscles across his shoulders and upper arms tense in readiness and as suggested he begins to pray...

Saanath looks a the calculations he has made on the navcomp and tries to kkep his cool. The movements he'll need to make in this maneuver are more preceise than when he brought the shuttle into the bay earlier on. He can't stop himself from steeling a glance at the freshly sutured wound on Trlene's face. Zaedhrarrg brings down the shield on the viewscreen in preparation for the heat generated on entry, and everyone straps in.
Back in SR04, Trel has just removed the safe from the wall, and magnetically secures it in place before likewise strapping in.
Saanath is sweating badly when be pushes Dvonn down into its decent. The ship hums slightly as it moves through the gasses of Gelugon's upper atmosphere. Three minutes into the maneuver, Zaed picks up a missile that had been launched from the remaining fighter, but it burns up before it can do any harm. Saanath is just able to relax a second after that when Zaedhrarrg helpfully points out the short time left before the Gateway arms ship has a clear shot at Dvonn.
Trelene receives a short message from the Junkyard Dog, "Good luck and Godspeed, Ullemguz...Dvonn, whoever you are. Junkyard Dog, out." Zaed says that the SDB is headed back to the JohnHenry base at full acceleration.
***
After of few more tense minutes of flying through the atmosphere, continuing down towards the plenet until the gasses reach the correct concentrations, Zaed says the Saanath calmly, "The temperature is going up a little, Boss. Saanath tries flatten out the approach just a bit, but doesn't go too far, not wanting to stop Dvonn's decent, and therefore prolong the amount of time they have to spend in the atmosphere. A minute later, the ship's red emergency lights kick in, and it's clear that temperature is reaching a critical point. "Open the fuel scoops, NOW!" Saanath barks, but keeps his piloting steady.
(Tomas:
)
In the meantime, Saanath flattens the ship out completely, and collects fuel for several seconds, hoping he got the altitude for the scoop right, given Gelugon's composition, but knowing there's nothing to do about it now. The exit from the atmosphere isn't quite as harrowing as the entry, but all that means is that Saanath becomes conscious of the cramps in his neck and forearms instead of letting adrenaline block them out. Miracululously though, Dvonn emerges from gas planet mostly intact, and with a full supply of jump fuel.
Zaed says, "Nice flying, Saanath," and Quinn just nods approvingly in Saanath's direction.
Dvonn begins moving at full acceration towards a safe jump distance, with the GA ship just about to clear the planet.
Crunch:[sblock]
Leaving orbit: DC20. Roll=11+13(pilot)+3(Ruzz'koff's leadership bonus)=27, success
Fast Fuel Skim, DC30. Roll=16+13+3 = 32, success [/sblock]

Saanath breathes a soft sigh of relief. One day, over a beer and some laughs, he'll might tell them that he had never done a planetry refueling before. Except on sims, which doesn't really count.
He watches the readouts and gauges as the ship powers up to full accelleration. Come on baby. Get us out of this and I will make sure you get back where you belong.
"Time to jump? And where the hell are we going again?"

Now that they are done with the refueling run and headed for the jump point, Trelene starts preparing to try and jam the other ship as it clears the planet.
"Preparing to jam the enemy. I'll start calculating our jump coordinates when I get a chance."

Tomas does a quick scan of the area to see if there is any hostile action before reporting in
"I'm leaving the guns, heading to engines" he announces "any available personel attend the guns"
With that he does a last scan before swinging out of the turret and making his way quickly to assist...

As Trelene gets to work on her calculations, Quinn speaks up to the bridge crew. "This things going to be heavily armed. Zaedhrarrg says it's only 800 tons, though, so we won't have a spinal mount to deal with. They'll launch missiles first, and hopefully Trelene can jam those or Tomas can shoot them down. We might get hit by lasers or plasma first, though, and we'll have to trust this old corsair's armor to protect us from those. The real worry is meson cannons, if they have those. " He leaves unstated the consequences if the Gateway Arms ship is equipped with those weapons.
ooc:
Saanath, are you taking any evasive maneuvers or going full speed to jump point (which is what I was assuming)
Trelene can handle astrogator duties or comm jamming (and therefore missile jamming) at this point, but not both - calculation of jump data takes too much time. Zaedhrarrg is currently on sensors, and will be undertaking sensors jamming unless told to do something else.
If you need it, here's Tailspinner's post comparing people's skills
