[QUOTE="Jack Haggerty, post: 2911, member: 89"] [b]Chapter 1 (cont'd).[/b] [b]Jack:[/b] With a pop and a rush of acceleration, the escape pod slides out of it's berth falling steadily away from the [i]Mystic Burn[/i]. The status console comes to life and the sensor display quickly locks on to a nearby planet. Stars wheel by outside the windows, and the pod reorients itself to the new course. Out of the battle, and apparently unnoticed amidst the chaos, the pod falls calm and quiet except for the low pinging of the distress beacon. The planet that the autopilot has picked up seems to be rather close, if the sensor display is any indication, and should only take a few minutes to reach... [b]Sia-Lan:[/b] As the pod hurtles through space, Sia-Lan closes her eyes and focuses on her thoughts, again trying to center herself in readiness for whatever might lie ahead. As the ride continues, a slight smile spreads across her face and she opens her eyes... "You know, when I was a tyke, many of my imaginary adventures started off in just such a fashion... even though I'm a little apprehensive, this could be fun..." She cranes her neck trying to catch a glimpse of the planet out of the small porthole as they spiral closer to the gravity well... [b]Sen:[/b] Sen smiles a bit at the "adventure of it all" and then leans back, closing his eyes. The last few "visions" have taken a bit of a toll on him and he tries recover some of his fatigue back... [i]Sen will use Heal Self +4 to try and recover some of his Vitality lost.[/i] [b]Arani:[/b] Arani squirms a bit, and hopes she's not blushing. [b]Set:[/b] Set moans at the word "adventure". [b]Jack:[/b] Soon the planet looms in the forward view port, a dull green orb swirled with thick white clouds. Ahead of you, closer in, you can barely make out the tiny form of the Mystic Burn blazing its way into the atmosphere as a squadron of small fighters follow it in. The larger ship is nowhere in sight. Moments later, the pod fire its retros and drops beneath a blanket of clouds. Lush jungle forest races by below. The pod drifts lower and lower, riding on its respulsorlifts. With crackling scrapes alongside the hull, the pod dips into the trees themselves. One final breaking blast, and the pod comes to rest. Again, the pod falls silent, but for the urgent ping of the emergency beacon. [b]Arani:[/b] Arani unbuckles, and practically leaps out of the seat. She'll run over to the porthole, and take a look outside. [b]Rorworr:[/b] As the pod settle's to the jungle floor, Rorworr unbuckles his crash harness and stands up. Turning to Sia and Sen he shouts in Shyiiwook..... ~Get everyone unbuckled and gather the packs and anything else we might be able to use, we might have been seen launching from the Burn and I want a head start on any pursuers.~ He reaches under his couch and grabs the Blaster Rifle and survival pack, then moves to the hatch to open it. ~Sen when we get out have someone use thier powers to find any lifeforms that are sentient and/or hostile. We need to move and move fast, I'll take point since this is my kind of eviroment the rest of you decide where you'll be.~ [b]Set:[/b] Set very reluctently gathers up his survival kit and pats his blaster reassuringly, rises from his chair and steps up behind the wookiee. "After you Rorworr, hairiness before beauty," says Set with a smirk. [i]Set will take position in the middle, blaster in hand and makes some effort to walk silently[/i] [b]Rorworr:[/b] Rorworr turns around and rumbles in Shyriiwook at Set, ~But on Kashyyyk I'm considered handsome and they would think you had the mange Set,~ pats him on top of his head then opens the hatch after everyone is ready. [b]Sen:[/b] Sen will unstrap himself from the crash chair and follow the others out of the ship. "Rorworr looks to be taking point, and I believe he is right in that we should get away from the lifepod as quickly as possible". Sen will then also concentrate for a second and stretch out his senses to their limits... [i]Sen will use Enhance Senses +8 to bonus his Listen and Spot.[/i] [/QUOTE]
