Message: <blockquote data-quote="shadowbloodmoon" data-source="post: 2875314" data-attributes="member: 9986">[sblock=OOC]I'll allow for the doors to have remained open because it was my goof-up, but as far as the guns go, there have been people watching the entire interaction in the docking bay from the control station. Seeing Four led aboard your ship by two battle droids was enough to let them know something is up. During the time that Derek is taking off and exiting the docking bay, they will be deploying the guns. In the next round, as Derek is punching the JUMP button, they'll get that one shot. Not that it's going to do them any good, Derek will have already raised the shields as he lifted off and the guns are meant for smaller fighters. If anything, the ship will get bumped around, but nothing the shields can't handle. Especially with the new aft shield generator in working order now. And that's assuming they even hit in the first place. Other than that, I'm just going to continue, since this seems to be bogging us down a bit.[/sblock]Before the ground crew can react, Derek fires up the repulsor engines and lifts off, quickly flicking the shield switch on as he does so. A reassuring hum tells all aboard that they are protected. Derek reorients the ship towards the exit. The base is attempting to close the doors, and both X and Derek can see the small defense guns coming online. Paying no attention to them and in spite of Four's incessant protesting, Derek pushes the hyperspace throttle forward. Lancets of plasma attempt to trip up the escaping vessel, but to no avail. It is long gone by the time they reach where it was. Four, after regaining her balance, is furious. "I do hope you're happy, DRK-1X. You've probably ruined years of intelligence work with that stunt. Now the Empire definately knows we're there."</blockquote>
