Star Wars: The Silent Trinity

With the freighter's engines at full throttle, Derrich begins a run for deep space while checking the scanner to try and find an angle out of the atmosphere that will allow him to get past the ship in orbit. He also managed to slip on the shipboard communications headset.

"Listen up guys. It is going to get really crazy once we're in space, so strap everyone in. And does anyone have any ideas where we could jump to once we're clear?"

As Derrich continues to push on the engines, the ship blasts through the dank atmosphere. About 20 seconds later, the color fades to pure black, with a few glimmering stars around. Directly ahead of him, the sensors detect a mass of objects, but Derrich didn't need the scanners to see them.

Directly ahead, a Victory Class Star Destroyer, with two Light Freighters at it's sides, and a nest of TIE's swarming around the area. The net around orbit seems to be pretty tight, with only a few tiny holes in the defense here and there.

As Derrich analyzes the area, the comlink shuffles and a cultured voice comes on the line.

"Attention Space Transport, this is Imperial Star Destroyer Retribution. You are leaving a currently hostile planet, and a temporary Planetary Lockdown has been enforced until the situation has been resolved. I will need you Clearance Codes in order to verify you are not one of the hostiles. Please remain stationary and transmit."

Not slowing down, Derrich responds to the star destroyer, purposely cutting the feed in and out.

"Come...pssst...having....pssst...-culties. ...psstt...again Star Dest....pssst...communication...psst."

Hoping that'll buy them a few seconds, he switches back over to shpboard communications.

"Alyssa, did Fenrir have anything remotely similar to clearance codes on him when you searched him?"

“No, sorry. He had nothing on him. Only that darned timer. Just tell them, that there was no information about a planetary lockdown? I mean, there was no information about a planetary lockdown. Maybe tell them, that you picked up some strange emergency radio broadcast, that the whole outpost has to be evacuated?”

Meanwhile Alyssa turns to Curly, while cleaning herself.

“So you don't answer questions to women, eh? Do you answer questions to boots?”

She then puts one of her (quite heavy) boots right on his throat.

OOC: I'm assuming Curly is still lying on the ground, since he just woke up...

“We can go on, I have knives, blasters, maybe we'll find something you are more comfortable to talk to. So, let me ask again, what's the story of the girl?”

As the woman's presses her heavy boot into his neck, Curly squirms around, begging her for mercy, trying to get free of the grip.

"GHA....ah...k!!!! P...please....I'm be...begging you....let me...meh go....please I'll do.....anything you .....want. Please...!!!!!"

"Great," Derrich mumbles under his breath before flipping the outbound communications back on.

"We got our communications array repaired down here Star Destroyer Retribution. We picked up an emergency signal to evacuate the port."

While talking, Derrich is also looking over his screens, trying to find something to hide behind or the best vector to make a run from.

All is silent on the comline for a few moments, then it crackles back to life.

"Space Transport, this is the Retribution. By Imperial Authority I am hereby placing you under Imperial Arrest for Rebel Sympathization. You are ordered to power down your ship completly and prepare to be towed into Docking Storage. Any failure to comply will result in neutrilization of your ship. Please stand by for tractor lock."

“That was faster than I thought. I'll give you a free advice, Curly. Don't act like that again, if you are not man enough to back your words up. And never ever spit at me again. This time was free. Next time I'll take your life as a compensation.”

“Now, tell me about the girl. Start where you met her the first time.”

She steps back from him, after that, and sits down somewhere near her bag to take off the heavy jump boots and get more comfortable footwear on.
 

As the tall woman sits down, Curly sits up against the wall, coughing slightly as he tries to breathe normally. Although Curly was a pathological liar, and a sexist, he valued his life most, and he knew even though Alyssa was a pretty face, she wouldn't hesitate to kill him.

"It was...a while ago. I can't remember how long exactly, but I think about 6 years ago. Her father was a moisture farmer on Tatooine, and he put in a word at the local Mos Taike cantina, he was looking for a hand to help. The pay was good, so I decided to take up the job. He was a kind old man, very honest, and very loyal to his family."

Curly looks down shamefully and breathes in deeply, "After about 3 years of work, I was like a part of the family to him, his wife gave birth to their first child, a baby girl, Cayla. Everyone, including me, was happy. Times were good."

"Then, about 2 years later, her father and I got into a bit of a fight, and he fired me. I was furious, after 5 years of hard work, he just fired me. So I stole Cayla, brutally beat his wife with a hammer, and ran away with her. Ever since then, I've...used her."
 

"Bad news. The Star Destroyer up ahead decided we're sympathizers. I'm making a run for it unless any of you actually want to be taken prisoner. Hold on tight back there, and if either of you could run guns or find us a route out of here while I'm flying this thing, let me know now."

Derrich pulls the ship up and back, going full speed away from the Star Destroyer at an oblique angle.

Alyssa shakes her head. “Damn, that doesn't sound good. I'm sorry, but we have to continue our little chat later.”

She quickly searches for something to bind Curly (rope, cable binders, tape, whatever is there) and ties him up nicely, binding his arms behind the back and the feet close together.

“Don't move!”

She then tells the girl “Cayla? Please alarm me, if he tries to free himself, ok? I'll be right here.” She points to the nearby cockpit. “And stay in sight, please.”

Alyssa then takes a seat near Derrich and tries to quickly plot a course, heading towards Tatooine for now, lacking any better idea.
