[QUOTE="masshysteria, post: 5368691, member: 16055"] Tam and Xule watch as Kaldo hops into the cockpit of the Y-Wing. Kaldo looks past the two at the Vagrant Heart. Tam follows his eyes, "Alright old buddy, I know what she means to you. I'll take good care of her, she won't get a scratch." "I got your promise. Not a scratch?" Kaldo says, strapping on his white helmet. "Would you get going. And good luck." "You too." Tam trots back to the Vagrant Heart. He throws a glance over his should and sees the Y-Wing's repulsorlifts push the fighter-bomber into the air. He scrambles up the Vagrant Heart's ramp and slaps close button. "Fake ID transponder ready to go, Rowintha?" He shouts to the Wookie. Rowintha hoots an affirmative. "Let's make star lines." The Vagrant Heart, transmitting as Null Drive, drops out of hyperspace into a unremarkable sector of space near the Kessel system. Through the cockpit viewport Tam looks past the mass of the holonet relay and focuses on the Nebulan B Escort Frigate and defensive screen of TIE Fighters. "We have incoming!" Tam shouts over the ship wide comms as two TIE Interceptors bear down on the ship. Toth answers with the THUMP-THUMP of turbo lasers, winging one of the TIE's. The other Interceptor fires back. Green lasers lance out and splash against the Vagrant Heart's shields. "Angle those deflector shields," Tam orders, "and Toth, get these guys off me, we still need to get the Nebulan B to move." Toth throws the gunner chair into a spin bringing it to bear on the wounded TIE. He fires another salvo, catching the Interceptor at the joint between wing and cockpit. It splits apart, rolls hard starboard, and explodes into a ball of fire. He zips back the other way taking aim at the wing man. The TIE disappears from view as the YT-2000 drops into a spinning dive. "Looks like we go their attention." Tam remarks as the Imperial frigate's turbo laser battery's light up the space the Vagrant Heart just occupied. "Rowintha, get me power to the shields, we're going to let them chase us for a while. Toth, don't let them too close." The Wookie barks and takes off down the cooridor to the engine room. Toth lines up another shot only to have have it miss thanks to Tam's erratic flying. "Keep the ship still so I can kill something." The Bothan complains. "I wouldn't have to fly so crazy if you could hit something." Tam retorts. The Bothan gives up on the Interceptor and targets one of the slower TIE Fighters. He fires a long arcing stream and manages to find the target. The fighter rotates counterclockwise a quarter turn and then bursts into flames. The R2 unit gives Kaldo the count down. 3... 2... 1.... Kaldo drops out of hyperspace and sees the Vagrant Heart being chased by a Nebulan B and a half a flight of TIE's. "Not a scratch." He mumbles and pushes the Y-Wing into a bombing run vector on the relay. The Imperials seem preoccupied and don't notice his advance. The targeting indicator drops in front of his vision and he dials in the primary relay. Two torpedoes away, he puts the Y-Wing into a shuddering climb. An explosion rocks the relay behind him. The R2 unit confirms what he already knows: direct hit. Kaldo puts the Y-Wing back on another bombing run, when the R2 unit squeals a warning. The remaining TIE Interceptor broke off from the main fight. It is on a hard burn trying to catch the Y-Wing. "Hang on, R2, we're going in. We're going full throttle. That outta keep the Interceptor off our back." Kaldo says between clenched teeth. The Y-Wing rockets forward, the targeting computer counting down. The Interceptor takes a shot. It bounces off the Y-Wing's shields. "Stay on target, stay on target," Kaldo says to himself, "Now!" Two more proton torpedoes launch forward slamming into the redundant relay. Kaldo immediately put the Y-Wing into a corkscrew dive and begins calculating the hyperspace jump. The Interceptor is fast, but a droid brain is faster. The hyperspace calculation appears on Kaldo's scope and he slams the levers forward. [/QUOTE]
