The Star Wars Iconic Characters: Out of the Jungle.

[Dorn Tavers]

Dorn glances back at Valara briefly, using all of his Jedi focusing skills to control his irritation at his poor track record thus far with the ship's weapons systems.

"Valara, it's nice to see that you are coming out of your shell and all, but since we are a little preoccupied with trying to stay alive, now might not be the best time for a conversation. I'll be happy to tell you all about Arani the Chieftaness just as soon as I finish making a complete fool of myself with these blasted weapons."

Dorn turns back to the weapons console, muttering, "I'm glad Master Yoda can't see me now..."

 

[Valara Saar]

"Just open yourself to the force, let it guide you. They should be easy targets for a jedi." Valara says looking around the cockpitt for something useful that she can do.

 

[Kaz Lo]

Bunch of supernatural sillyness, the controls are highly sensivtive, your probably just trying too hard.

 

[Valara Saar]

Valara gives the Zabrak an icy glare. There is no Emotion, there is Peace; Its not his faullt he is blind to the truth, he must become educated, there is no ignorance she thinks to herself.

"It is not foolishness," she says with a trace of anger still in her voice

 

[Pbartender]

|...Passenger, Shmassenger...|, the computer shoots back at Kaz, |...None of you own this ship, and none of you are authorized to operate it. If you aren't pirates, then you are mutineers, and most likely murderers, since you'd have had to kill the Captain before he'd let ruffians like you on the bridge. Not that it will make a difference to the Republican Authorities, once they catch you. Piracy, mutiny or murder, the sentences are all the same...|

Kaz pulls up a damage report on the ship's systems. As he had already discovered the aft deflector shield emitters are misphased, and will have to be recalibrated before any significant protection can be had in that quarter. In addition, half of the attenuators for the ion engines are overloaded, and will need to re-initialized. And, of course, there are the extensive repairs that will need to be done on the main hyperdrive.

[See p. 218, Table 11-9, "Shield Generators Damaged", "Ion Engines Damaged", and "Hyperdrive Critically Damaged"]

As Dorn's wished, Valara and Kaz's conversation is cut short when Rorworr punches the throttle launching the Pathfinder forward and pinning everyone to their acceleration couches for a brief moment. To the wookiee's dismay, the ship barely reaches half of its maximum speed as he skims just over the pirate fighter craft and heads off over the forest.

 

[Rorworr]

Rorworr groans in despair at the state of the ship.

"Kaz, see it you can do anything about the shields, any protection on the rear would be a plus."

He scours the woodland below, looking for the spot where they left the van.

 

[Kaz Lo]

"Well, The aft sheilds appear to be out of phase. I'll get right on them but I don't know if they will be of much use in out current crisis. The Ion engines are overloaded so you won't get much spead out it. "

Kaz mutters something about lengthy repairs and inconsiderate pirates

"Oh, and the main hyperdrive doesn't work, of course." As he drops a peice from his pocket onto the floor. "Other than that, and the computer being an annoying git, we're just fine."

 

[Dorn Tavers]

Dorn listens to Kaz's report with more than a little consternation, trying to take it all in stride.

"Well, all things considered, the situation could be worse."

He looks at his companions hopefully.

"Right? I mean, hey, at least we got off the ground."

Having found the silver lining to his current cloud, Dorn turns back to the firing controls without waiting for his shipmates' responses. Taking a calming breath, he focuses on the Force to enhance his abilities and takes aim at any enemies within weapons' range.

[OOC: Jack, Dorn will activate Battlemind (+5/3) and use it to hopefully improve his aim as he fires at any enemies that might be in range.]

 

[Valara Saar]

Valara seems uncomfortable on the bridge, Its not that I don't trust Rorworr, but... theres not anything I can do, and I am not used to relying on anyone but me, and its not like there is anything for me to do. I cant even use the ships guns.

 

[Rorworr]

Rorworr senses Valara's need to be busy and calls over his shoulder.

"Val, see if you can get the computer to help you with the scanners. It might trust you more than the rest of us." The Wookie pauses for a moment, concentrating on not hitting anything, then continues. "Ask it to check the passenger list, if it needs proof that you're a ligit passenger. And then tell it that those fighters that are coming after it and us are going to damage this ship even more."
