Out of the Frying Pan... (d20 Star Wars)

[Ambrus]

OOC: I'll eventually have to change my report to Dofina as the rounds continue to ensure that it remains accurate.

Transmitting report (encrypted channel #782364B)

Seeing that it had successfully grazed the female Sith with the Easy Credder's blasters, DRK-1X issues a quick order to the vessel's computer instructing it to re-lock its controls. The diminutive probe droid then disconnects itself from the console and drifts gently backwards reorienting its sensors to track the Sith's movements. As she moves, DRK-1X's repulsorlift engine surges to life with a soft buzzing sound as the diminutive droid streaks across the hangar, gently angling it's ascent to end up behind a support truss near the ceiling and close to its mark. All the while it continues to urgently transmit it's report to its mistress while she hides safely outside.

OOC: DRK-1X ended its turn last round by re-locking the vessel (as a free action) and then moving backward away from the console (two-meter step towards the east).

At the beginning of its turn in the following round, DRK-1X is going to watch which direction the Sith moves on her turn and then run (up to 64 meters as a full round action) to end up at the ceiling (5 meters up) above the Sith or as close as possible, and taking cover behind some ductwork to hide again (assuming she spotted DRK-1X flying across the hangar).

Felia listens to 1X reply over the comlink, and the blaster fire ringing out from the hangar, suprised that the droid was able to sound so deadpan calm when what close to so much hot light. She can see Dofina's relief playing across her blue-green face, and wonders if it might be a bit premature.

So we have an non-clone soldier hiding somewhere in the area, a hangar full of clones blasting at that little probe droid, a pack of clones somewhere outside, and a jedi stalking around somewhere, she thought gravely to herself, sighing deeply. What did I do to diserve this? She only hoped that X was quick enough to get the shields up and get out to save them.

 

[Bobitron]

Huh. Look at that! I hit her! Tal is smiling up at where he thinks the droid might be when suddenly the other ship's defensive blasters open up with a barrage of bolts, once again hitting the Sith. Ducking behind a nearby crate, Tal looks over to see her hit by one of the blasts, a look of shock on her face. Looks like the droid's got some shooting skills, too. He continues to walk back towards the hole blasted in the wall, careful to keep his foe in his field of fire. Once again, he squeezes the trigger, this time opting for a barrage of his own.

ooc: Move back another 10m and as many times as I can with a standard action. Sorry, everyone, I don't have my book handy to determine that.

 

[shadowbloodmoon]

Bobitron, are you moving back towards the ship or twoards the hole in the wall? Your description seems to contradict your OOC... If Bobitron replies tonight, I'll try to get this round up, but I do have to go to bed early tonight. Oh and Ambrus, yes that was a free action to lock it up again.

 

[Bobitron]

Bobitron, are you moving back towards the ship or twoards the hole in the wall? Your description seems to contradict your OOC...

He continues to walk back towards the hole blasted in the wall...

ooc: Sorry, I will head due west towards the wall with the hole, so long as I can keep the Sith in my sights.

 

[Ambrus]

OOC: Just a suggestion Bobitron; shoot and then move rather than the opposite to avoid the increased range penalty.

ooc: Yeah, what he said!

 

[shadowbloodmoon]

Another blaster bolt is defleted away from the Sith as Tal starts making his way towards the large still-smoking hole in the wall. Seemingly undaunted by this last one, she deactivates one of her lightsabers and presses a button on her belt. A blue bubble shimmers to life around her and the console she just arrived at. With her now empty hand, she then reaches into her cloak for something, glowering at the black sphere of annoyance as it disappears into the ceiling pipes above her. "Your Mistress was kind enough to give me the codes to these ships, droid. I hope for your sake she doesn't live to regret that decision."

Outside, Dofina listens as X's message continues. "I have negotiated an alliance with the unidentified human male. He has agreed to aid us in exchange for safe passage out of this system. The unidentified female human Sith has.."

The last part of X's message changed Dofina's expressionless face to something reminiscient of a puzzle trying to figure itself out. "No, that can't be right. Not her. She is supposed to be dead. Dofina then quickly speaks into the comlink. "X! End report. Do not attempt to approach that woman. She will destroy you and anyone attempting to stop her." She then looks at Felia. "We have to help X, I don't want that kerremick killing X! Dofina then starts moving towards the hangar.

On the other side, the Jedi Padawan Femi was attempting with no success to enter the personnel door and then decides to start heading towards the cargo area.

[Kemrain]

As the droid speaks through the comlink, Felia listens intently. That solder negotiated an alliance with the droid? Maybe he's a local, trying to get off planet like this, she thinks. When the droid gets to the part about the sith and Dofina's expression changes, she watches curiously, and when the neimodian interrupts and practically shouts into the comlink she tenses and looks around nervously.

"We have to help X, I don't want that kerremick killing X!"

After Dofina speaks, Felia blinks in suprise as she watches as the neimodian breaks cover and brazenly approach the hangar. Sighing to herself, she hurries after her. If only to retrieve my comlink, she tells herself.
"Chancelor, wait.. If you're worried about the kerremick destroying your droid, wouldn't it put us in danger to go there, too?" She keeps a step behind the neimodian, looking around for clone troopers as her hand returns to the interior of her satchel to rest on the handle of her hold-out blaster. "What in the galaxy is a kerremick, anyway?" she asks the neimodian, trying hard to keep the mixture of fear and annoyance she's feeling from her voice.

OOC: Full move to follow Dofina, listening and spotting all around with her +0 modifiers, and using a free action to draw a weapon while moving, but keeping it concealed in her satchel (as long as Star Wars doesn't have the BAB 1+ requirement on that action, in which case she'll spend the move acton later.)

Femi looks at the saber dangling from his belt and then at the door, briefly trying to calculate the pros and cons of igniting it and burning through the door. Sighing in frustration, Femi shakes his head and moves towards the cargo area, taking advantage of any and all cover as he moves. He continues masking his presence through the force so as not to be detected by the dark jedi that could be lurking nearby. He keeps his eyes open as he moves, looking for any signs of trouble and also any potential easy access points to the building.
