Star Wars - Rebellion

[dpdx]

While waiting for the shuttle to load, Ryn thinks for a while: Hmm. Wonder if the Imps took her. That wouldn't be right. Maybe I can make sure she's okay...

Ryn asks the shuttle attendant, "Hey, that pod would have had to land planetside, right? Aren't you folks sending out any kind of a search party? Isn't there any kind of reward for her safe return?"

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

At his questions, the crewman turns to Ryn. "Rumor has it that her bandmates might be offering some sort of reward for her safe return," the man says. "Here comes two of them now," he says, pointing towards an approaching bith and rodian. "As for the escape pod, the Captain will attempt to recover it but the transponder is not operational so finding it might be a bit difficult."

OOC: If everyone wants to post their arrival to the launch bay, feel free. Izon, I'm not sure if you are finished with speaking with the twi'lek or not. Ryn is already in the launch bay. The rest of you, I believe are speaking with Oraltor about helping recover the singer.

Andre introduces himself to Mr. Jokairo,"Hello sir, I am very interested in things that Leo said you are interested in as well. I am not very good and finding them but I figured hey the more eyes or sensors," said with a nod towards Leo" the better."

 

[maddmic]

Izon accompanies the Twi'lek to the shuttle bay. On the way down, he doesn't say a word, but the Twi'lek can tell that the man is being quite attentive to all that is happening around him. Once they are in the bay, Izon stands and waits. He watches the people who board the shuttle for planet side trying to determine if any of them are nervous, or trying to conceal something. As if he forgot the Twi'lek was there, he turns and says in a low voice, "I'm guessing that your companions have not arrived yet? I do hope that the people that they have contacted have some skill in finding a missing person." That being said, he resumes looking over the people milling around, even the crew.

OOC:
Spot checks, or possible sense motive checks to see if anybody's acting strange. (He's thinking that the pod could've been a diversion.)

 

[Catulle]

Calven quickly opened the door at L-3PO's polite request, beckoning the droid and the kid inside with an uncharacteristic urgency. It was obvious that he had packed hastily and the presence of the Ithorian in the room hinted towards the greater mystery.

"Glad you came, Leo. Looks like there's trouble about, and that we can be of use in putting it all to rights..." Andre's introduction seemed to throw him off his speech for a moment. "Say, you're the kid that was spouting about the Jedi in the lounge, aren't you? If what Oraltor here think is true is, you might be better off sticking with us for your own safety."

The former-professor checked his chronometer, eyebrows starting upwards in surprise "Is that the time? We'd best get a move on." A wrinkle formed across his forehead as Calven looked back to Oratlor, "Is there anything else you can add now, or would we be best learning in the field. I have some notes on Dantooine right here, for the record." He tapped the case for his datapad to emphasise the latter remark.

 

[Mickerus]

Leo is at first surprised to see that Oraltor is present, but quickly catches on to what is going on, and takes an uncharacteristically serious tone.

"Alright, let's move. I'm packed and ready to go, and it looks like you are as well. I don't know exactly what's going on, but we don't have the time to sit around discussing it, either. Mr. Jokairo, I've put quite a bit of trust in you so far and you haven't let me down yet, so let's get down to Dantoine, and we can discuss what's going on down there."

Leo turns to Andre and says "Well, you heard the man, you're welcome to come with us. And apparently you'll be safer for doing so. Do you have everything packed and ready to go?"

Without waiting for an answer, Leo then turns to the door, announces "I'm going to head down to the launch bay right now. If any of you fellows have any last preparations to make, then I'll be meeting you down there."

 

[Calim]

"I got everything I own right here," motioning to bag at his side and follows Leo.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

After gathering up belongings, everyone makes their way down to the shuttle that will be carrying passengers down to the surface of Dantooine. It is a small shuttle, used exclusively for this sort of work, moving people from orbit down to the surface of a planet.

Izon looks over the crowd but sees nothing that appears out of the ordinary. Aside from the band members, only a handful of other people are actually boarding the shuttle.

The twi'lek bandmember introduces Izon to his rodian and bith bandmates and they in turn introduce Oraltor and his friends to Izon. One of the shuttle attendants also introduces Ryn to the bandmembers.

Once everyone is onboard and strapped in, the shuttle fires up its engines and quickly receives clearance to depart. Within moments, it clears the Celestial launch bay and is streaking towards the surface of Dantooine.

A few minutes into the flight, when the shuttle is close enough to make out details of the surface of the planet, an explosion rocks the small craft. The engines seem to cut out and the shuttle begins spinning and falling the remaining fifteen thousand feet towards the surface. The pilot can be heard trying to regain control of the ship but seems to be having little success. Within a couple of minutes, the shuttle will crash...

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Oraltor fights his own rising panic (Ithorian bonus to Will saves), then does his best to keep everyone else calm with jokes and soothing words (Entertain).

"Hmm," the Ithorian remarks from both sides of his head, "That's one way to reduce travel delays."

 

[dpdx]

The explosion doesn't catch Ryn as off-guard as one might expect; he'd taken hits before.

"Feels like they got an inertial stabilizer, or a fin! Hey! I'm a pilot and I can fix things sometimes, too! Is there anything I can help with?!" , Ryn yells to the pilot, while holding his toolkit in one hand, and the other on the release of his safety strap, just in case...

[If it seems likely that Ryn can better help prepare the ship for a crash landing, he will unbuckle and attempt a Jury Rig on the most vital and repairable component on the shuttle - does that make sense?

If the pilot indicates he needs help up front, Ryn will strap in beside the Pilot and attempt to assist him (Pilot Check to Aid Another?) in bringing the shuttle down safely enough to protect its occupants.]
