Episode 6, Chapter 4, Session 105 - Insurgency GM: The Hellions have reached the top of the massive mountain that rests beside Ahdjok, the ancient city that houses the native Nazren on the planet Nizon. After fighting through forces of the First Order, they were intercepted by a squad of cyborgs that broadcasted Shroud's voice through their equipment. After offering a 'trade', Janix opened fire on the quartet, a quick and frenzied fight taking place afterward. With the cyborgs defeated, their TIE Echelon exploded to the sound of Shroud's laughter, the distant sound of heavy turbolaser firing now seeming closer as the stone platform beneath your feet trembles with every shot. Willa: The ground wasn't the only thing trembling. Having faced harrowing battles with imperial garrisons, crab droids, a bounty hunter, and now crazy, high-tech cyborgs, Willa is nearly dumbstruck in the aftermath of the explosion. She turns a slow, wide-eyed look back over towards where the Hellions are regrouping, and for a bit just... stares. Tal: Tal fought to keep his balance on the platform beneath the hail of blaster-fire. The explosion almost threw him to the floor, but he braced against railing at the last moment to avoid falling. All the same, ti's still unnerving. "This madman...." Rook: Rook starts towards the burning ship, but pauses to look at Venn. "Can you put out the fire? What if someone is in there." The platform shakes, and she spins to look at the turbo lift. "Shroud, who did you take? who do you have?" Ashley: Ashley, despite the explosion, made his way over and picked up the remaining weapon that he had not sundered. After that, with his lightsaber no longer ignited and at his side once more, moves towards Tal. Mostly it's to give him the weapon but also to help with a touch of the Force to invigorate the other [aka 10 strain recovered]. Venn: The shockwave of the munitions and fueled craft tossed the relatively lighter woman into a drunken stumble. She barely is able to maintain her footing before she moves away from the destruction... Rook: She reaches for her COMM, to see if she can listen in on the combat chatter of the fight. GM: "*It's so difficult to work under these conditions." Shroud's voice comes from the turbolift. "So hard to find good help these days. Ah well.. if you're going to break my toys.." There is the sound of a lightsaber igniting. "I'll break yours." The strange symbols on the turbolift display fade out. Rook: "Wait! Shroud ..." Venn: Bloody psychopath... rargh..."* seethes the masked adept, nearly deafened. Rook: but he was gone. Rook felt like screaming or weeping. GM: Rook can hear a lot of comm chatter of the battle - it sounds like the combined forces seeking to overthrow the First Order are pushing into the base. Ashley: The sound of a lightsaber igniting, however, immediately puts Ashley on alert. "... can he not," he hisses out. Rook: "I think I know what you want." she said softly, but she had little hope he heard her "We," Rook paused to steady her voice. "still need to take out the cannons." Willa: The voice from the turbolift succeeded in pulling her focus, and she frowned as she zeroed in on that voice. She pushed herself to her feet and ignored the lingering shakiness she felt in order move back towards the group. "Stairs?" she wagers, eyeing the lift and then Rook. GM: You can see some stairs that lead up into the rockface, a giant outcropping holds what looks like the First Order command center with windows that look out to the city below. Willa: "But here, hold still for a second, first," she says, focusing further when she realizes Rook is only barely on her feet. If the mando doesn't object, Willa pulls out her med kit and does what she can. Rook: "yeah, let's do it," Rook says, turning to head for the stairs, only to be halted by Willa.

It was that, or go crazy trying to figure out who Shroud was hurting. Willa set her rib, treated her burns, and stitched close the blaster shot from earlier.the pain receded to manageable, and Rook took a long breath in. "Thank you," She said, testing her grip and her freedom to move. " "Let's go," glancing at her team, Rook asked, "I don't hear anyone saying they've spotted Shroud." Willa: "Sure thing, chief," she said, with a little smile. "It's not perfect, but it'll keep you together for a while longer." Venn: "I am going to wear that freakish automaton's spine like a belt after I rip it out of him with my bare hands." seethes Venn through her creepy vocoder. Rook: Rook is so in tune with Venn's wish that she can only nod agreement. Willa: She looks around at the others and starts to say something else, feeling like the mood needed a pick-me-up before they began their ascent. But Venn's oath caused her to thickly swallow the intended words. "Right. We're moving, yeah?" she chirped, a little warbly, as she started towards the stairs. Rook: "Grab their gear? Maybe we can trace something or find a way to communicate?" Ashley: "Are you even sure he still has a spine to wear," replies Ashley, who has clearly moved towards grim humor. Willa: "I have... so many questions..." At Rook's direction, Willa turns around and heads back towards the bodies. Rook: Rook will grab whatever looks electronic from Scourge, though she murmurs a soft phrase in Mando'a as she does so. Tal: Tal looked at Venn with an approving nod. "Yeah, I will definitely help with that." he said. Willa: She attempts to determine whether she could carve anything out of them that might be used to establish or trace a signal for this Shroud character. Tal: He took the flaming sword from the man he killed and brought it with him. Ashley: Don't forget Ashley gave him one of the sickle [scythe, whatever] weapons! Because he figured Tal might want it. GM: Willa can see an assortment of weaponry that was carried by the four cyborgs [in their various states of disrepair]. She can make a Hard [with 3 upgrades] Mechanics check or a Medicine check to salvage something of use off the cyborgs. When Tal touches the sword it starts to beep. Tal: Tal drops the beeping cylinder. Rook: Rook can assist Willa! GM: Same check for Rook. Willa can see that the cyborgs all have state-of-the-art, experimental cybernetics. It was clear that these are not some hack-jobs off of Nar Shaddaa, but some sort of weaponized soldier program. Furthermore, there appeared to have been construction here to resist normal anti-cyborg weapons. [Ion weapons and strain-inflicting gear is not as effective]. Venn: She watches Tal throw away the weapon and it kind of looks funny because thats the last thing Tal would ever do! Ashley: Ashley takes a moment to similarly look over the cyborgs, what remains of them at least [because the Hellions had done a number on them]. GM: Ashley, on the otherhand, can see that the creatures were very physically fit members of their species, basically apex specimens. He is able to find a communicator chip in each of their brains that allow for remote-access. More disturbing, however, is that it is clear that these cybernetic-grafts were done while the subjects were awake and unsedated, due to the scarring he is able to see from attempts to resist the process. Dice System: Willa flips a Light Side Destiny Point New Dark Side total 6 Light Side points remaining 6 Dice System:Updating Players Destiny Pools Venn: A sound of disgust filters from the Umbaran as she watches Ashley playing Field Coroner. Willa: "Here," Willa says, reaching into her pack as Ashley begins to pull pieces out of the corpses. She produces a plain-looking box and opens it towards Ashley. "If you store them here, they won't transmit anything while we're carrying them. They may be dead already, but... y'know... just in case." Ashley: Ashley, who was already pale from blood loss and injury, somehow managed to pale even further. Yet even the knowledge that these individuals were not willing does not stop him from reaching for and pulling out the communicator chips. "Chips for remote access," says Ashley, working as efficiently as possible, nodding as Willa gives him something to store them in. "Thanks." GM: Tal realizes the weapon is gene-locked. Not only will it not work for anyone except for its coded wielder, but that it will explode if held too long. However, it gets him to thinking that the cyborg had a cybernetic hand - so if he cut off his own hand, and replaced it with the cybernetic hand, then he could use the sword! Tal: Tal ponders this. Rook: Rook shook her head, dismayed at the quality of these warriors. Watching Ashley pry chips out of their brain burdens her; were they just high priced slaves? Willa's notion of a box to shield the chips earns a tired pat on the shoulder, and a nod. "Let's go." She heads towards the stairs, aware that every second they delay is costing lives. Venn: [[engaging SHIVA protocol]] Willa: Willa nods and, once Ashley is finished, turns and heads for the stairs again. Tal: Tal decides that, at this point, it is too much of a sacrifice to make. Ashley: "... they weren't willing subjects," he says softly after he eventually finishes his gruesome work, handing the box over to Willa. Venn: "Have you ever seen a one handed man digging in the brain of a dead cyborg? How all the good bed time stories begin." she quips. Willa: That slows Willa for a step, and she casts a disturbed look back towards the dead before continuing on. Venn: "Three was on the ship that left and I can only assume it is heading for the ISD." she reminds Rook and Tal as she walks by them. Willa: "The base modifications on all three of them are identical," she supplies, as she continues beside Ashley. "Small variances, but the basic regimen is precisely rote. Almost like an assembly line." Venn: "Another maniac trying to make an army. This one sicker than most, granted." Rook: Rook forced herself not to falter, at Ashley's confirmation of her fears. A tiny nod greets Venn's information upon Kesvo. A glance acknowledges Willa's information as well. GM: Making their way up the ramp they can see a pair of First Order troopers who are trying stepping out of the command center, heading down the stairs toward the landing bay [where you are all ascending from], summoned by the TIE Echelon's explosion. They do not see you yet. Ashley: "Yes," replies Ashley, "and he picked individuals that were at the peak of their species to experiment on." Pause. "While unsedated and unwilling." He looks to Venn. "So I think I will join on the spine as a belt because ..." It just. Was effed up. Willa: "Dedicated ion shields and surge override chips. These things were built to withstand the kind of abuse that would KO a normal cyborg." Rook: A glance at Venn, and Rook will nod towards the unsuspecting troupers. She whispers, nearly silent, "Can you sleep them? if they came out they might have those cylinder things to get us in. but I'd rather not give the comm center any warning." Venn: "-Sleep- them?" she repeats from Rook because that verb is funny. Rook: Rook wiggles her fingers in Kesvo's 'Hoodoo' fashion. Willa: Willa, at the tail end of the party and oblivious, is still quietly feeding Ashley things she picked up from her inspection of the bodies. Venn: "The minds of the weak willed are subject to all kinds of machinations of the Force." "But for you, Four... I will see if they are subject to a lullaby." Ashley: Ashley just nods at Willa, not surprised at all to hear that. "... the number of things Shroud has proven himself capable of ..." A shake of his head. "If we do encounter him, keep me between you and him, understand?" [Also obviously a whisper as they move.] Rook: Rook nods agreement to Venn's statement, a stressed, nearly silent laugh her reply to Venn's comment, along with a whispered, "Thank you!" Venn: Drawing her hood back up, she activates her optical camoflauge. Her figure dissolves and refracts with whir of technology and she makes an approach.

No matter how much Venn would object to the term. Maybe Rook should actually study Force-terminology just to make her happy? Venn: Both Stormtroopers stop mid-walk. They both grab their throats and panic in the distance then collapse against each other. Both their bodies slump down pressed chest to chest, but not all the way, forming some kind unconscious tower of plastoid armor, held up by odd physics. The air crackles and shimmers as her black and purple clad form appears, hands on her hips. Rook: Rook watched the out come intently, surprised by what happened, and deeply impressed. it was scary in all the right ways! Willa: This all happened so subtly that Willa doesn't notice anything's amiss until she walks past the oddly-propped Storm Troopers and pauses, a confused look on her face. Rook: Rook pauses to see if the Storm troupers had anything useful for getting in the Command Center, then she'd study the approach. "Quietly. Stealthily. if we can get in without alerting the it will be much faster and cleaner." GM: The Hellions reach the durasteel door to the Command Center, the First Order soldiers and officers inside do not seem to notice your presence. The troopers have commlinks, their armor, and their heavy blaster rifles.

Rook: Rook will also step aside, letting the hand-to-hand experts do what they do best. GM: The door opens and Tal sees a large command center similar to an Imperial Star Destroyer bridge where the officer paces on a level above the operating technicians. The Major who is in command of the facility looks out of the large windows, cursing. "Damned Mandalorians! They were supposed to be hiding in their ruins! And who gave these natives Blaster Rifles!?" Tal can notice out the window the familiar sight of a red Consular-class Cruiser moving toward the base in the distance. One of the officers at a radar station calls out. "Cruiser coming closer into range, sir. It's destroyed the TIE reinforcements from the Arkanian Dragon!" "Damn. Is it pirates? The Mandalorians weren't supposed to have a ship. The Republic?" "Unconfirmed ID, sir. Seems to move faster than the standard Consular." "Target the turbolaser battery on that damned ship!" Venn: "Its your reckoning." Tal: Tal sprints for the Officer. GM: The voice causes the Major and everyone in the room to stop and turn toward Venn. As Tal comes sprinting, the Major throws up his hands. "AHH!" He is a somewhat bookish-looking young white male with blonde hair and a wispy mustache. "I surrender! We surrender!" Ashley: Ashley just raises an eyebrow at the quick surrender but ... Tal: "BELAY THAT LAST COMMAND! FIRE ON THAT SHIP AND EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM DIES." Willa: "Holy shrikes," Willa whispers to herself, wtching with wide eyes. GM: The operating officers in the pit raise their hands up, and the posted Stormtroopers drop their weapons, also raising their hands up. "You heard the man!" The Major yells. "Nobody touch a console!" FINAL MASS COMBAT CHECK Tal: "Everyone up, move to the wall and get on your knees. If I even think someone is reaching for an alarm of some kind, it's over!"

As he does, a single TIE Fighter screams past the windows and opens fire at the Mandalorian leader and his flying squadron. The sight of the blaster cannons striking the armored warrior and his Nazren allies leaves the forces of the resistance not just temporary leaderless, but inflames a rage inside Rook Beroya - whom had find someone who had sparked her joy of her history. Rook rockets out of the command center, her jetpack flaring as she smashes through the window and flies through the skies to land on top of the TIE Fighter. With a savage roar that all of you hear, she blasts off the lid of the fighter with her Disruptor Rifle, grabs the pilot, and hurls him through the sky before leaping off, sending the fighter spiraling into the mountain. The insane display causes the remaining First Order soldiers to surrender. GM: The battle for Nizon is won! Venn: "That was bloody sudden..." says watching the burst of action from the Mandalorian spitfire. Ashley: "Well then." "Suppose that's one way to handle it ..." Venn: "First she wants people asleep, then... whatever nightmare chaos that was..." Tal: "What the actual pfassk...." Tal utters as he watches Rook rocket away and destroy a TIE Fighter. "How does she do this stuff?" Willa: Willa runs to the window, watching in awe as Rook zooms out into the fray. She whispers, "Who the kriff are you people.." Rook: Rook accepts the surrender of the First Order troops, and immediately searches for Tvastar and his commandos, desperately worried. She COMMs Ashley, and asks him to head down to the battle field. Venn: "Difference makers." she responds to the Twi'lek, watching Rook from the viewport. GM: Tvastar is near the other Mandalorians, injured but not dead - his armor had saved him from what would have been a grievous, terrible injury. Ashley: "Roger," replies Ashley along comms to Rook. Who will ... head down to the battlefield since she paged him to do so. Willa: Willa turns her head to look over at Venn, and considers the answer for a long few beats before looking outside once more. Venn: "Now who in here can provide a ident of the last ship to leave the launchpad here?" she says to the contained Imperial prisoners of the Command Center. Rook: Rook breathes again that Tvastar is not dead. She helps guide Ashley to where he and his people are, and will see if any of his personal guard are alive enough to benefit from Ashley Willa: "I can probably tell you alot more than that, if you give me a sec with their console," Willa offers. Ashley: Ashley will make his way down, as requested, to meet up with Rook and the Mandalorians."I'll see what I can do," he tells her, when Rook meets him and guides him towards the injured.
GM: The First Order soldiers do not provide any resistance to demands that are given to them. They're able to give the code information to the vessel that left the planet. As Rook is getting situated, from the Command Center the other Hellions now see the Ardent Rivener tractors the TIE Echelon that's on fire and tosses it off the side of the mountain, landing on the pad that is now vacant. There are 30 officers, technicians, and troops in the Command Center. Tal: Tal will look menacing as Venn makes her demands of the First Order soldiers. Ashley: Ashley begins to take stock of the injuries, starting with Tvastar and the guard near him still. Willa: If Willa is not needed in control room, she'll head down and help patch up the wounded. Venn: Venn walks up and down the aisles, appraising the Imperials.. She randomly knocks one particularly haughty looking technician's' cup of beverage off their desk onto their lap. A sudden burst of movement, and she moves on. She slaps the cap off another. GM: Tvastar has the On the Brink critical injury, but though he's hurt will probably survive. The Nazren start gathering with the Mandalorians, cheers going up about the victory that was won. Venn: She then finally just abruptly flexes on one, raising a fist and causing him to shriek like a child. She doesn't follow through however, satisfied with the reaction. "Reject scum, the lot of you." GM: The doors to the command center open up again, and both Captain Riprock and N1-TR0 walk in, their weapons drawn as they scan the area.

Riprock lowers his weapon just as the troop screams. "Thought ya'll would be here." Venn: The menacing, visage with the creepy filtered voice is functional for purpose. When Riprock appears, though, that same chilling, disturbing voice goes... "Babe!" N1-TR0: "Query: Babe?" Tal: Tal's gaze slowly pans to Venn. He's never heard anything like that from her. It's even more eerier with the vocoder! Rook: Rook lets them celebrate, offering brief words of praise for those she's seen in action. Quietly, though, she keeps the medics moving. Turning to Ashley, she will ask, "Does he need our bacta tank?" Captain Riprock: The cyborg Captain grins and walks over quickly toward Venn. "Hey! I tried to raise you guys, but the desert radiation made it a pain in the half to get to you. I was trying to give you a heads up about the Mallard." Venn: Two imperials at her flank exchange a wtf glance at each other. Scary Venn instantly snaps back and stares at them and their judgement. They raise their hands quietly. Ashley: Ashley starts to work, no longer thinking about his own injuries, and tending to Tvastar. With a mixture of medical and help from the Force where necessary, the Pantoran is able to heal the Mandolorian. In fact, by the time he is done, the man has likely never felt better in his life. Tvastar Ordo: "I feel much better. Thank you, Ashley." Tvastar grunts as he gets to his feet. "We have won this day thanks to all of you." The Mandalorian leader looks up to the height of the mountain. "I would not have thought it possible." Willa: "Tell me about it. I still don't believe some of what happened," she murmured to no one in particular, though side-eyeing Ashley and rook a tiny bit. Ashley: Ashley just shoots a grateful look at Janix for staying with him [her presence was welcome] after he finished and then shook his head at Rook. Clearly Tvastar was just fine. Any side-eyes result in shrugging from Ashley. Janix: Taking off her helmet, Janix gives Willa some side eye, but it softens to a little smile. She undersatnds how crazy the team can be after a few months in the Galaxy. Tvastar Ordo: "This is a day of impossibilities. And of victories." He placed a hand solidly on Willa's shoulder, nodding to her. "I must gather the others. We will all speak soon." The Mandalorian leader moves over to speak to Sartok, whom those below notice with the rest of the Nazren. Willa: Willa looked up at Tvastar and nodded, smiling when she looked back to Ashley. "How's the arm holding up?" she asked, reaching to gingerly inspect the makeshift prosthetic. Venn: "I assumed it was some clever ploy. It is in somewhat mostly one piece. Or so." she says to Riprock regarding the Mallard. It was a guesstimation. "We need these people secured by the rebels." Tvastar Ordo: "It has served me well." Tvastar says before departing, warmth in his voice. "Like never before." Captain Riprock: "Ah. That's good to hear. It was a tough thing." Rook: The releif when Tvastar stood up was so strong Rook wavered on her feet for a moment. She started to speak, but Tvastar addressed Willa and then moved away. N1-TR0: "Observation: The Captain cried for ten minutes before we sent the ship out." Venn: "Busted." Captain Riprock: Riprock points to N1-TR0 with the angriest look he possibly could have. "You. Shut. It." N1-TR0: "Clarification: Ten minutes, forty six seconds." Ashley: Most of the prosthetic had come off at some point, all that remained was enough to keep Ashley from bleeding everywhere. "Well," replies Ashley to Willa, "it's stemmed the blood loss and helped with keeping balanced." He finally actually looked at his missing arm. Maybe it was finally settling in. "Did really well for that one fight, though, so thanks." Rook: Rook will turn her attention to helping get the wounded off of the field of battle. Willa: "No problem," she said, with a shrug. "And don't worry. If you want, I'll help you get fixed up with something fancy enough that you'll be better than new." Ashley: "I've got credits to burn, might as well get something nice," he replies, "but something to think about once we finish helping everyone else. I'm sure you can point me towards the right model arm to get." GM: Within about thirty minutes, the resistance forces have gathered the remaining troops and put them together. Disarmed and their armor stripped of them, the majority of the First Order forces look like impressionable young men and women, with a few hold-overs that look to have served the Empire. With the Nazren and the Mandalorians gathered, Tvastar and Sartok stand atop the wreckage of the TIE Fighter that Rook destroyed, both of their hands clasped together and raised in victory. Willa: "Uhm. Well, sure. Yeah. If you want somethin' off the rack, I can make recommendations, sure," she said, a little awkwardly with a nod. Sartok: "We are all of Nizon! We are all Nazren! Let those who have bled and fought for the freedom of this world, be forever honored!" Rook: The helmet hides the tears that threaten as Sartok and Tvastar declare their unity and freedom. Nothing is better than that. With those gathered below Rook will shout out her "Oya!" Sartok: Sartok gestures to the Hellions [even those trying to stay low key], his voice raising in pitch. "And though we cannot honor their names, we will honor their memories! Their faces we shall carve into the side of this very mountain, so that all who travel to Adjhok, to Our City, will know them to be the ones who assured the freedom of our world!" A raucous 'Oya!' among the Mandalorians goes up in cheer. Rook: Rook is stunned. She can't even speak. Ashley: "Willa," says Ashley to Willa [before the fast forward], "I know next to nothing, so when I say model, I assume that means something you make and customize." Pause. "Also I am not sure how I'm still walking anymore." ... and then, you know. The entire we cannot honor their names bit happens. Well then. Janix: While honored, Janix looks a little striken. There were not that many Hapans in the Galaxy. Ashley: Ashley just facepalms. Captain Riprock: "Ya'll, relax." Riprock says softly. "Nobody is going to come to this planet until everything we're doing is long done." Tal: Tal watches, helmet still on, as the Mandalorians and the Nazren declare their victory. He hadn't expected to be part of this when it all started, but he was glad that they were. Of course, Sartok had to say that they needed to be commemorated and Tal could just see Kesvo shaking her head. You had one job. Ashley: "I really, really need to get something more than a pair of goggles for a mask." Venn: "I already have chiseled features. I doubt they will get it right." Rook: Rook gives a soft laugh. Shereshoy. She takes off her helmet, and racks it on her armor at her back. Venn: "Mortal hands can't recreate these cheekbones." Tvastar Ordo: Tvastar, the Mandalorian leader, gives a speech in his native Mando'a - something to the effect that though many of the Mandalorians had lost their home, they had found a new one. A new one that they could not only share, but grow on the foundations of their ancient principles. Another 'Oya!' goes up, and shouts of "MAN-DA-LORE! MAN-DA-LORE! MAN-DA-LORE!" that come not just from the Mandalorians, but soon the Nazren as well. Rook: Rook salutes Tvastar, and nods gravely. He is surely the one to reunite their people. Tvastar Ordo: Several minutes pass as the raucous cheers went out, and already there seemed to be some preparations for a large feast were behind made. Tvastar approached the Hellions then, bowing his helmet-covered head to the gathered. "I doubted, when you first came to me. I see I was in error - but we would not have won without all of you." Rook: We are one fewer in number. Rook thought. but she did not say so; this was not the time for that. This was for what joy could be found in victory. Tvastar Ordo: "I am certain you all have other paths that you would seek to take. But I would ask you stay a little while. Enjoy a feast. And leave with a part of our culture with you." Tvastar places a hand on Rook's shoulder, then reaches out toward Tal. "I would make for both of you, a Suit of Beskar, to have some of our most sacred city with you, always." Willa: Willa watches, recording the moment with her built-in camera, knowing that it was one she'd want to remember indefinitely. Rook: Rook does not content herself with a nod, but gives a brief, hard hug to Tvastar. "You honor us." Tal: Tal...blinks. True Beskar. "You....you honor us." he said, barely able to speak at the idea. He never considered owning true Beskar. He removed his helmet. "Very well." Tvastar Ordo: Tvastar lets out a laugh. "I only give what is due, Rook." "Come." He clasps a hand to Tal's shoulder. "Let us feast tonight and sing the songs of our people. Mandalorians have forgotten how to lift their voices to the air - but not here! Here, we sing for the triumphant and honorable dead, and we sing that the living will carry their memories!" "The rest of you.." he released Rook and Tal. "Of course, are welcome to join us." N1-TR0: "Declaration: I like to party." Venn: Opening her visormask, she watches the meaningful moment occurring before her and feels a warmth through the Force. As if it had gone from raging sea to calm river.... Suffering was ending, Evil was ending. She says toward the Captain while maintaining her gaze forward. "The star destroyer?" Captain Riprock: Riprock lowers his hand to wrap an arm around Venn's waist, pulling her a bit against him. "Driven off. I blew a ton of charges into the nebula. It'll be limping off to wherever they're hiding in the Mid Rim." Rook: Rook sighs and nods, knowing that this is right.the burdens of the fight, of the ghosts and golems and demons they'd face would be eased by the celebration. "Tvastar ... I know you will be busy. but after the feast, and before you honor the dead, I would ask for your aid in a matter." Venn: "Three is on board in a state we don't know." Tvastar Ordo: "You may ask anything of me, Beroya." Janix: While she did not understand the full significance of the Beskar, seeing Tal and Rook stunned however briefly made it signifcant. Invited to the event, Janix was curious and intersted to listen to more of the fascinating culture. "Seems like a good way to unwind for sure." Captain Riprock: "I'll fill the rest of ya'll in on that later." Riprock said with a nod to Venn. "She's fine. Promise." Ashley: Seeing all of this, after all the life was lost ... Ashley breathed deep. Though he was not certain that it would ease the conflict within him--not after the life he had pulled from people in the heat of battle--it did help him feel as if balance would be found once more. The fact that Rook and Tal would both be getting Beskar was something very, very moving after everything as well. Mostly, however, Ashley was just quiet and observing and listening. Venn: "On the one hand, she cannot scold us for... many things... including blueberry's new situation." She nods at his response. Captain Riprock: "I always knew you liked the scoldings." Grinning, he turned to look toward Willa, nodding toward the Twi'lek. "What about her? We bringing her with us, or she staying here?" Ashley: Ashley just waves towards Venn. Obviously waving the arm with the missing lower half. Tal: Tal is still obviously moved and he will follow Tvastar quietly, wondering what his father would say if he could see him now. Rook: "My friend, Dr. Tane. He was born Mandalorian, to the Clan Varad. but he was taken from them long ago. We wanted to find his Clan. He hoped to be permitted to join. I would not see his Manda wander, aimless and lost." Venn: Venn smirks at Ashley. "I don't know much about that one. Asking me about strays doesn't usually end well. One thing at a time." Tvastar Ordo: "Yes, I remember him. I am sorry to hear he is no longer with us. Of course - we will remember him along with the rest of our honored dead." Captain Riprock: "Alright, fair enough. We'll table it for another time." Riprock nodded as the Mandalorians and Nazren were starting to head into the still smoldering city for the feast. Venn: "I am sure you noticed, but Tane fell in combat." GM: The First Order on Nizon defeated - their designs thwarted, and the Republic [or more specifically, the Hellions] had struck a major blow against the Shadow of the Empire. Losing their strongest base still within Republic space, the First Order would suffer a serious setback to their plans. For now, the Hellions would get to rest, rearm, and bask in their accomplishment. While Doctor Tane was dead and Kesvo was missing [presumably on purpose], they had gained new allies in Sartok, Willa, and Tvastar Ordo. Their mission was not done, but for now at least, they would have a respite. End Episode 6, Session 105

Episode 6, Chapter 4, Session 104 - Insurgency GM: The Hellions continue aiding the Nazren and the Mandalorians commanded by Tvastar Ordo against the First Order on the planet Nazren in the mid rim. It has been a terrible battle with much of the ancient city of Adjhok being destroyed by heavy fire and artillery. As Tie Fighters and Mandalorian Fang Fighters fight over your heads, the Hellions have been engaging in ground battles to make their way up toward the mountain fortress which houses turbolaser batteries capable of thwarting a space-based invasion. On the way the Aeon Mallard, their tried and true ship of several adventures, was shot down into the upper city. Waiting for them was the bounty hunter Vril Vrakth who had come to collect for the bounty on Tal Vodax's head, and had brought a number of powerful old Crab Droids along as reinforcements. Vrakth was defeated, but not without losses, as Doctor Rafan Tane was killed in the firefight, and his droid IL-0M was also severely damaged. Rook: Rook carefully wrapped IL-0M once more, placing Dr. Tane's data pads and tools into her own back pack. Appearing once more in the galley of the Mallard, she turned to Willa. "I didn't find any grenades, I'm sorry, Willa." Willa: Willa had been reticent to go scavenging in the fallen ship for gear, after seeing how some of its crew were faring. A ship could be a pretty powerful friend, she knew, and it didn't feel right to go digging around for scraps in front of her now-stranded crew. But she looked up from the minor repairs to her mini droids that she'd been working on, and smiled warmly in response to Rook's news. "That's alright. Thanks for looking, Rook." Tal: Tal strips Vrakth of his weapons and items, then readies himself to leave with the others. Ashley: With all the damage done to the Aeon Mallard, Ashley found that the med-bay was servicable. Most of his injuries were taken care of, though the lingering pain of the severed left arm was something that he would have to deal with. Once it was properly bandaged and taken care of, the somber Pantoran rejoined the others. Janix: Eagerly, Janix accepted the less bland snacks Venn brought and took her helmet off once more. With it in one hand, she ate quickly and drank from her canteen again. Her face was purple with blood and she felt her energy waning. Ashley could only keep her going so long and it was easier to end up like Tane than not. "Thank you," Janix added to Venn as she finished the more delicious food and put her helmet back on. Rook: Rook nodded a thank you to Willa, a faint smile appearing in response to the warm one. Rooting through the debris of their snack, Rook looked for any remaining energy bars to pack along with her. GM: Tal finds 2 Frag Grenades and 1 Stun Grenade on Vril's body. Tal: Tal looks to the group. "Anyone need a grenade? I can't carry all of these." he said to the rest of the Hellions. Rook: A sharp inspection of how Ashley had managed his missing lower arm followed his silent arrival with the others. Willa: The twi'lek glanced towards Tal. "I'll never say no to more party favors," she said. She got up and approached him to take the offered grenades. "So," she said, then paused, a little reticent to press. "What's the plan?" Rook: "We need to stop the guns," Rook answered, gesturing towards the enemy cannons. "Ashley, any chance you can use the comms here and reach Tvastar for a tactical update?" Tal: Tal handed over the grenades. "Well, we've got to see this through. I'd love to stop and find the Captain, but there are others counting on us." he said. Ashley: It was, in fact, his arm was just really nicely bandaged so that blood would not get anywhere. "There isn't much more that can be done until we get somewhere that is properly equipped," he says to Rook, noticing her inspection. "I can see what can be done. Hopefully the systems aren't fried." Willa: "Yeah," she agreed, to the notion of stopping the guns. And she nodded again to Tal's assertion that they press on. "But anything more specific? Or are we just hoofing it on, straight up the mountain?" Rook: "All the escape pods are here, and everyone's personal gear is missing from engineering. Makes me wonder if the Captain set this up, somehow? And what his actual plan might have been. I can't figure out why he'd not be here, if he could but all the escape pods are accounted for." "He's got hidden compartments all over but never shared with me where they were or how to look inside of them." Eyeing Venn, she asked, "Did everything seem in order in his quarters?" Ashley: "Well ... like I said, the slave unit was used to control the ship from somewhere else, so wherever that is? That's probably where he's at," says Ashley, heading to see how the coms were looking and if a secure message could be sent out. Rook: Rook nodded to Willa. "The original plan, if I recall correctly, called for the three forces ... us, Tvastar, Sartok ... to regroup and face the guns. But I don't know if that still stands. I feel like we have an ability to get close to those guns and take them over or blow them up, that might be better than a full frontal assault. Kinda had my fill lof them, today." Venn: Venn returns from a lookabout... "No real trace of his belongings are about.... This may have been some manner of sacrificial play on his part." Rook: "I was wondering if Sartok's tunnels would get us close." Willa: Willa nodded again. "Yeah, me too. 's why I was asking. I don't have any super bright ideas at the moment, but I know we've already been through the wringer. Probably Tvastar's and Sartok's people have too. If we can figure a less than head-on way to proceed, we'd probably fare better." Rook: Rook nodded at Venn, her own spirits lightened a little. She nodded gravely. "If so, he wanted to acheive something very, very badly. but i have no notion what that is. I feel like HE thinks we will get his message ... only I can't find one." "maybe a complete change of plans is in order. I wonder if, given the cover of the full scale war we provoked, we could sneak up on those bombs? some of our crew are masters of stealth." It was hard to think, hard to plan, with so many new ghosts upon her shoulders. Both Dr. Tane's, and all the Mando's she'd let die by not shooting down that stupid fighter first thing. her jaw clenched, but she wrenched her mind away from the past and focused upon the future. GM: Those looking up the mountain see a main road that looks to be at the center of much of the fighting. Mandalorians swoop in from the skies to fight the AT-RT's and First Order Stormtroopers that are fighting fiercely to try and hold the gates to the fortress. Nizon rebels swarm from multiple sides in the city. GM: As the turbolasers fire, you see something as you are looking up the mountain you see a TIE Echelon descend from the skies and move toward what must be a landing bay at the top of the fortress.

GM: Ashley can see that much of the systems of the Mallard are offline. It appears that the damage was far greater than just the turbolaser blast that struck the ship, but some sort of catastrophic damage besides which. The ship appears to have been sabotaged along with the attack from without. Rook: She shook her head; it was far too late to re-work their battle plan and go for the guns first. Venn: "Likely a VIP aboard the Star Destroyer." she reorts. Rook: "If we got the guns to work, i wonder if they could shoot down that star destroyer ..." she murmured. Tal: "That main road is a death trap." Tal said, looking toward the road where the Mandalarians swooped in and out on strafing runs. "Yeah, I don't know that we've got another option than isn't a full-frontal. Finding Sartok and Tvastar to coordinate is the best idea." Willa: "Well that inspires warm-and-fuzzies," she murmured, in a tone of voice that betrayed some concern while she watched the fancy TIE land. Rook: Rook shoots an edged smile at Venn, "Which one? maybe one we can shoot." Ashley: "... just about everything is offline," says Ashley, to Rook and the others, once he is done looking things over. "More than that: the damage done is more than just blast and it's crashlanding. As if it was sabotaged." Venn: "That or it is retrieving VIPs in danger." Willa: "Sabotaged? You mean by someone inside?" she asked, when Ashley emerged with news. Rook: "charge along the city, so we can help as we go, or tunnels so we have some element of surprise?" Rook mused softly aloud. Venn: "Whatever the case is, this ship doesn't seem like it will play any more parts in this saga." Willa: "I vote the tunnels, for what it's worth," she volunteered. "But you know. I'm kinda just along for the ride," she admitted, with a nervous little smile. "So whatever you guys wanna do, we'll do." Rook: Rook winced at Ashley's report, firmly bottling up a new source of anguish. Where was the Captain? N1? who had sabotaged the Mallard, and why? She offered a pat on the back to Venn, in leiu of verbal comfort. Ashley: "Can't tell you that," replies Ashley to Willa. "Just that it was sabotaged; someone wanted the ship disabled and it's disabled." A glance was spared towards the slave unit once more, the Pantoran wondering. Rook: "Tunnels are faster, but probably trapped. that would be my vote." Janix: "I think we have those talented enough to deal with traps. A lot hard to dodge blaster fire and grenades." Venn: "A common Imperial miscalculation is that of proper defense against subterranean routes of ingress." Beat. "I imagine they feel it is beneath them." Ashley: Ashley snickers. Rook: Rook stood abruptly, and a brief, sharp laugh escaping at Venn's words. "Well then, by all means, the tunnel!" Willa: "Ha!" she barked, before catching herself and clamping a hand over her mouth. Janix: Janix grins at Venn's joke. Or accidental joke. Hard to tell. Willa: But c'mon. She hadn't been expecting puns from Scary Spice. Venn: "Traps or alarms would possibly pull forces from other engagements, so it would be a win win." Tal: "Tunnels it is." Tal said. Rook: She fastened her helmet upon her head, and headed out of the ship, her hands trailing along the battered bulkheads in silent apolgoy. Willa: Willa nodded when the team seemed to be reaching a consensus, and began quickly packing her things back into her kit. Venn: Venn pockets one of the snackbars and moves to disembark. "Four, please do lock up the ship best you can as we leave. Better to have an excuse that we tried if confronted by Zero." Rook: "She's all prepped, Two. as soon as we step out i lock her up." Willa: Willa falls in step beside Ashley while they start to head out, if she can. Dice System: Rook B. flips a Light Side Destiny Point New Dark Side total 7 Light Side points remaining 2 Willa: "How're you holding up?" she quietly asked the Pantoran as they moved. Rook: As soon as people exit, she will place the final touches upon her earlier work to prepare the Mallard [roll last session]. GM: Rook make a Daunting Mechanics check to prepare the traps and assure that the vehicle is impregnable from tampering in the open battle-field. Venn: [wheres that Imbue ;p] Janix: While less bittersweet for Janix, she moves next to Rook and imparts some of knowledge in an attempt to help Rook. %uF4AA Imbue Activation Action Effect The user may spend %u25D0%u25D0 to increase one of another engaged chracter's characteristics by 1 [to a maximum of 6] until the end of the Force user's next turn.

Since, you know, they were going into tunnels. Being able to see clearly in the dark would be good. When Willa falls in step next to him, he gives her a half-smile. "As well as can be expected." Ashley: "Thanks for getting me back up," he adds, "and sorry if I ..." He waves his right hand as if to capture the entire fact he went a little weird post-hand loss. "Just thanks." Rook: All the time spent crawling through the Mallard's innards on previous missions paid off, for she knew the ship as few people did. With her knowledge of both the ship and the Captain, she set it up so his biometrics would allow him access to the ship as well as her teams. If not, whoever tried would be in for a nasty surprise as toxic coolant and deadly electrical pulses inspired by the anti-personnel defenses of the AT-AT would combine into an explosive rejection of unauthorized personnel. Venn: "We are going to have to have some kind of talk about your Lady friend interfering in our business." she mentions casually to Tal. "It was cute before, but..." Willa: "Hey, nothin' to be sorry for," she assures him. "It's kind of a big deal, you know? I get it. I mean when I lost this, it hit me pretty hard," she said, gesturing to her cybernetic arm. "I guess I just wanted to say that it gets better. Nothing's ever gonna be the real thing again, but I can do so much more now than I could before, because of tech. And I'd be happy to help you get fixed up, after all this. You know, something really nice. If you want. It, uhm. Yeah. I'm not great at the talking thing all the time," she admits, with a nervous little laugh. "But you're gonna be okay. Better than ever. You know?" Tal: "Yeah...that." Tal grimaced beneath his helmet. Venn: "A hundred K is going to get serious mutants salivating." "Might need to prioritize that as soon as we have a breather. It will only get worse." Rook: Rook said nothing as she led the way into the tunnels. NOTHING. Her shoulders were rigid, but she was silent on the matter. GM: The Nazren tunnels proved to be the invaluable tool. As you make your way through one of the entrances, some of the resistance fighters pass by you as they move supplies. They tell you the path to take to go up to the mountain fortress, but warn that the First Order had some defenses installed right by the exit - seemingly they were aware of the underground connection to the fortress, but did not know of a wider network of tunnels. Tal: "Zhane's already out there. But now everyone looking for a payday might start showing up in twos and threes." he said. Venn was right. The team was already at risk but the loss of Tane hammered it home. It could've been any of them. "You're right. Once we get this First Order garbage behind us, we'll sort it out." Venn: Venn tapped the side of her head, having her visormask shutter over her features and the purple lenses illuminate briefly. Drawing up her hood, she follows onwards to these tunnels... Ashley: Ashley laughs a little, actually cracking a real smile. "Yeah, I know, it just makes things harder for me at the moment. Later, sure, I'll be in better shape--and, yeah, I'll take you up on something nice, I've got credits to spend--but right now it's harder for me to be able to defend or fight." Regardless, he slid on his goggles as they headed for those tunnels. Venn: She seemed satisfied with Tal's answer, as she could sense he got the gravity of how much of a mess it has become when people were dying because of it. "Agreed. And you've got backup in that endeavor." Rook: Rook thanks each band of resistance fighters they pass, impressed anew by their courage in facing this. it was their home, their city, their families being destroyed out there. Yet they still fought on. Willa: "I dunno. You still seem to be holdin' your own, to me," she said with a shrug and a little smile.

Willa: Willa pulled a pair of scanner goggles out of her bag and put them on as they moved through the tunnels. GM: It takes about half an hour to move forward, Ashley's pathfinding expediting the process, along with the instructions the Nazren allies gave them. Ashley and Venn can feel a dark presence, something familiar to them and yet... strange. Unsettling. Ashley takes 3 strain, Venn takes 2. Willa: "Oh, sure," she agreed, with a little laugh. "I mean, this is more excitement than I've seen in a while, and i was roomin' with psychos. But you guys seem like good people, so it makes a difference." Willa: "Oh, hey, watch out!" Venn: The hooded Umbaran slowly removes her hilt from her belt, the half moon inlaid with gold remaining un-ignited. Willa: She pointed out a red sensor in the rockface roof. In fact, she points out several small mechanical pieces of hardware, worked hidden in the stone and they seem to be some sort of flame projectors. Ashley: "Planning on it," replies Ashley to Rook, his hand already on the blue-hilt of his lightsaber. It isn't ignited but his hand tightens around it as he senses something unsettling. Willa: "Traps already." "Gimme a sec," she chirped, setting to work on them Ashley: "... be careful," says Ashley to Willa. Rook: Rook clasped Ashley on the shoulder, both relieved to see the light-sabers come out ... and unhappy at how tense the Force Weilders suddenly were. Tal: Tal moves through the sewer, mentally snarling at their tromping through this mess to get to the their target. Janix: Janix pauses as soon as Willa exclaims to watch out. Carefully, she holds her rifle in the event they are ambushed while Willa works. Ashley: "Do you feel that?" he asks Venn, voice pitched low.

Willa: "You know..." she muses, as she pulls apart the trap. "This could be some useful stuff..." Venn: She gives a singular nod to the Pantoran in the affirmative. Willa: In no time, she has some scraps of gear in her hands and is fidgeting with them even as she starts walking again. GM: With the trap disabled, there is a single metal door between them and the First Order base. Willa: "We're good. But we should keep an eye out, if this is the kind of tricky stuff they're using. There's liable to be more." Rook: "Try to use your purloined ID, Two, or let Willa and One deal with the door?" Rook asked, unsure just what the sergants id might open. Willa: While Rook and Venn decide, Willa eyes the door, looking for more traps. GM: Make a perception check, Willa.

Venn: "Have at it should you be so inclined." scratches the masked woman, still considering the strange feeling. Ashley: "Willa is likely faster than me," replies Ashley, as he was one-handed at the moment, "but I can assist as necessary." Mostly he was still staring at the door, trying to shake the feeling of dread building up. Willa: "Hmm. I don't see any trickery," she said, distracted by the search. "I can take a stab at it, sure," she says, approaching the panel. Venn: Venn will, however, attempt to utilize her Infrabinoculars.

"There looks to be no guards on the other side." GM: Willa is able to not just disable the door security, but also find a map to the base, and then disables the communication system in the base. This takes about 10 minutes of work. Willa: "Man these guys really need to update their protocols. Gimme a second, and I can set us up a little better." Once finished, she steps back from the panel, and turns her hand palm-up. A small holo-projection appears above her palm: a replica of the fortress' layout. She manipulates the image with her free hand, a la tony stark, and zooms in on where the team is. After a moment of calculation, a green light appears inside the image, tracing an expedient path from their current spot to the turbolasers. "Here we go." Rook: "Perfect!" GM: The Hellions are located in the bottom of the massive base. They can take a turbolift not far from their position up to the outcrop of mountain that is the landing pad. Further up is the main command center for the base and the turbolasers. Venn: "You need to get one of those." Venn unceremoniously suggests to Ashley. Willa: "I upped the noise on their comms too. Like, way up. Hopefully it'll interfere enough to cause some confusion." "But we should get moving, 'cause they tend to find ways to fix those kinds of problems pretty quick." Rook: Rook nodded, "That was good thinking. I'm worried about our allies down there without us." But not quite so much as she was for her team, though she didn't say so aloud. Ashley: "That is the ideal," replies Ashley to Venn. Tal: "Then let's get to those turbolasers and see if we can give some relief to the ground forces." Willa: [[Is the door open now?]] GM: The door can be opened now, yes. Willa: Willa opens the door. Rook: Rook braces for combat, gun at the ready .... old habits, and all that. GM: As the door opens and you step through, the lights in the base flicker. A voice comes through the comms, garbled and ruined by Willa's hack. Whatever was going to be communicated is lost. Outside the sounds of battle are distant, the stone and durasteel walls drowning out most of the din and chaos that is just a few hundred feet away thanks to the construction of the base. Ashley: Ashley keeps tabs on that unsettlingly familiar presence [whether or not it feels as if it is closer or not] and moves with the others. GM: There is no-one on the floor with you. To your left is the turbolift, to the right you can distantly see the main doors to the base where a platoon of First Order troopers engage in combat with the forces of rebellion. Rook: The urge to go help is powerful, but the larger strategic picture has to overrule the personal, tactical situation. "We need to take out the big guns swiftly," she murmurs. It was a special kind of stress, to get into an enemies turbolift, but she gestured for Willa to open it and guide them through. Janix: "Agreed. Big guns first." Tal: Tal will lead toward the turbolift. Willa: Willa heads into the turbolift and directs it towards the level where the gunz are "Be ready. I'm sure we're about to make some friends." GM: The turbolift ascends away from the fighting toward the main command center... Dice System: The GM flips a Dark Side Destiny Point Dark Side points remaining 5 New Light Side total 4 GM: The lights in the turbolift suddenly flicker off, the turbolift coming to a screeching halt for a moment. The displays all flicker dead for a moment, and then a red-faced visage slowly blinks into view. Willa: "Uhh.." "That wasn't me." GM: A mechanical, broken voice echoes in the turbolift. "I've been waiting for you." Tal: "No,it wasn't. It's him." Tal growls. GM: Suddenly the turbolift turns on and accelerates at maximum speed upward. Willa: "Him who?" "You guys have friends here?" Ashley: "Shroud." Tal: "Shroud." Willa: Willa snorted an abbreviate little laugh. Tal: "He's not a friend. He's an insane Force-User with a lighsaber." Willa: "Oh. Serious?" Ashley: Ashley's expression goes grim. Janix: Janix looks at Willa and shurgs. Shroud is new to her. Venn: The ex Inquisitor braces a hand to the side of the lift as it speeds in its ascencion. GM: You are all nearly shoved to the floor from the massive g-force of the elevator's rocketing ascent. Sparks fly off of the walls as the metal box nearly becomes a tomb. Tal: "Last time we fought him, he put a hole in a ship and blew himself out into space to escAAAAAAAAPE---" Rook: Rook feels nausea ripple through her, and a dark pressure making it hard to breathe.

Willa: To fight whatever remote control he's wrested. GM: Make a Daunting Coordination check to stay upright, Willa. Rook: The sudden acceleration jars her, and she finds herself fighting to stay upright. Ashley: Ashley tries to move quickly, not wanting to lose his footing but the speed is something else ...

Rook: Rook manages to pull off staying upright without her gun's nuzzle moving a millimeter from it's aim right where the turbo lift will open.

Ashley: "I'll do what I can," says Ashley, scooting closer. Willa: "WHO THE KRIFF IS THIS GUY?!" she complains as she tries and fails to get ahead of his hax0rs. "HOW IS HE--wait, nononono!" Ashley: "Murderous Sith-Cyborg who likes to jam out while attempting to do murders," replies Ashley, with a completly serious expression.

Willa: "He--what?" she counters, pulling her hand away from the panel as though it'd burned her Venn: "It is some weaponized experimental cyborg forged from from a maddened jedi murderer." Ashley: "... true," replies Ashley, who really has no experiences with that other than certain murderous Inquisitors. Willa: She glances up at the sparking metal overhead. "This lift wasn't made to sustain these speeds." Tal: Tal wanted to say that none of this was comforting to the newcomers, but he was too busy keeping himself upright with the speed of the lift. Venn: A filtered sigh emits from Venn's vocoder. GM: The elevator suddenly comes to a halt, the doors opening to bright light with a plume of smoke rising up from the mountainside. You see the same freighter that Kiyota used to flee The Imperious taking off toward the stratosphere. Before you is the TIE Echelon, and four figures that are obvious cyborgs with modified armor. One is a woman that shimmers with a strange black shadow around her, seeming to 'phase' in and out of reality. The other is a man in golden armor who, upon seeing you, ignites a weapon of pure fire. The third has long chains that end in vibro-sickles, and the fourth is a Shistavanen that has been heavily modified into a creature with no eyes and durasteel fangs.

Designation: Brand: "Hah! The dance begins!" Venn: "Discount Grievous was lonely and made some friends. If the creep factor wasn't high enough..."

What if they had the captain? Shroud was capable of that had happend to the Mallard ... GM: If Rook wants to actively search the area it will take an Action to do the Perception check on her turn.

Designation: Hunter: The dog-like alien cyborg without eyes sniffs at the air and his robotic blue tongue lolls out with some sort of blue ectoplasm-like material. He then bites onto Janix's flank as his claws slash through her rifle and across her chest. "MUST. FEED!"

Instead, it targeted her, which was it's final mistake. She'd learned much since her time fighting the Acklay and she centered herself and let her Biotics suffuse her limbs and body. Unable to move much as the Hunter ensared her, Janix punched forward, her Biotics hardened hand hitting the beast in the mouth as it's teeth gave way agaisnt the power of her fist and Biotics. Using the forward momentum, Janix grabbed the creatures jaw and reached out with her other hand. Quickly, she wrentched the two halves away from each other, ripping the beasts head in two. Janix: The creature fell at her feet, lifeless. Willa: Willa panted, trembling as she looked from bloodied corpse to bloodied corpse, then to the Hellions. "Who the kriff are you people?" Tal: Tal picks up his new flamesword. Janix: "We're the big damn heroes." Janix replied, shouldering her rifle. Venn: Venn looks over at Janix and does the ' Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn' thing from Friday. Tal: "We're the Hellions. And you're one of us now." Rook: Every breath took effort, every movement harder than it should be. But with Willa safely out of the way, she whirled and brought her Disruptor Rifle to bare .. and disintegrated Scourge. Panting for breath, she said, "I think they have a hostage ..." So weary she wanted only to sit down, Rook forced herself to stand tall, and begin walking towards the shuttle area. Tal: "Now....can we take a moment? We've been going...pretty hard." Tal said. "Not complaining but this has been a long day." Rook: "We need to be sure no one is in that shuttle. and what if the Captain is here, somewhere?" Tal: "Don't even remember breakfast." Ashley: "It really has been," says Ashley, lightsaber no longer ignited. Rook: An exhausted laugh greeted Tal's comment on breakfast. "I don't think you ate any, but i did try to give you a energy bar." GM: As the last of the Cyborgs sent by Shroud are dispatched by the Hellions, they hear the sound of the staticky voice coming from the TIE Echelon. It comes out as broken laughter. Janix: Taking a deep breath, Janix moved forward, leaving the corpse with the split head behind. She took out her canteen quickly, removed her helmet, and took a drink. This war was hell, that was certain. "I think we could all use a damn spa day about now." She offered the canteen to Tal in response. Tal: "I ate the energy bar. Huh. That's what it was." Ashley: "Not sure if you want to have a look at the sickle the over here was wielding," says Ashley to Tal. "Unfortunately, I had to break the pair so there isn't two." Willa: "Oh. Uh." She smiles, though she's clearly a little weirded out, still. "Awesome." Willa: "I'm gonna--" she starts to say, but stops at creepy!Laff GM: The TIE Echelon explodes! Tal: "I'll take it." Tal said. "GET DOWN!" Janix: "Frak," Janix dives back behind cover as quickly as she can. GM: The vessel, packed with munitions, erupts in a gigantic fireball that soon overtakes the platform! End Session 104

Episode 6 Chapter 4 Session 103 - Insurgency GM: Disaster! While battling against First Order forces on the planet Nizon, the Hellions bear witness to their trusty (smaller) ship, The Aeon Mallard get shot down from the sky by turbolaser fire coming from the mountain fortress ahead of them. The ship goes careening into the city further ahead, and you can all hear the loud thruum indicating it has crashed. Rook: Rook keys her COMM, trying to raise the Captain, yet not really expecting a reply. For a moment she is simply too stunned to move, but the urgency of getting the civilians to safety forces her into motion once again. Janix: "By the Goddess," Janix whispers, a gauntleted hand rising to her mouth without the ability to cover it. She didn't see anyone jettison to safety. Willa: "Whoa!" Willa chirps, startled by the sudden appearance and take-down of the unknown freighter. "Who was that?" Ashley: The sight of the Aeon Mallard going down is something that Ashley is not quite sure he can process, not fully, and instead stares a moment before continuing to assist the efforts of getting the civilians to safety. GM: Rook does not receive a reply from her COMM. Janix: "That's one of ours." Janix replies. To the rest of the team. "Time to hustle," she shouts. "Gather and go." They were too far but you didn't leave a teammate behind. Willa: "Oh..." she says, quieting. "Oh, no." Rook: Shaken, stunned, Rook can't quite manage a reply to Willa. Not a calm one, anyway. after seeing the last of the civilians to ground level, she joins the instinctive move towards their fallen ship and comrades. Calculating it's probably impact point, and comparing it to where Sartok is expected to be, Rook tries to figure out how far away the two points are. GM: Rook make either an Astrogation (easy), Knowledge Warfare (Average) or Piloting Planetary (Hard) to calculate where the Mallard went down. Venn: "What was that knucklehead doing." rhetorically mutters Venn after a moment to process. Did Kesvo call him or something? "We need to get a move on then." She taps the side of her helmet and masks up. Willa: Willa pauses only long enough to jab herself with a stimpack, and the follows the others. Warfare Rook B.

"You sure you are alright to continue?" asks Venn to Ashley, masked visage indicating his gruesome arm. GM: Rook is able to calculate where the crash-site is. If they hurry they can reach it within the hour. Rook: "We .." Rook coughed, and tried again. "We can get there within an hour ... but we should stop by Sartok; he's on the way. We need a plan to take out those guns!" Ashley: "I don't," says Ashley to Venn, somewhat distracted as he focus on the reaching for the Force once more, "really have much of a choice right now." There was something of a workable mechanical contraption that Willa had made. Venn: ((Contraption only works for 1 encounter)) Willa: "The problem will be getting to them, I think. If I can get close, I feel good about my chances of taking them offline." Janix: "Hmmm," Janix wanted to take out the guns but there was something visceral seeing your team shot down. "How close do we need to be to communicate via comms?" Tal: Tal was left cold by the sight of the Mallard being shot down, followed by a coldness settling over him. He would deal with the First Order troops like everything else. Permanently.

GM (GM) Dice Roll (Proficiency Success x2) Results (Success) (Success) GM: The Hellions, after stopping to heal, move forward. They soon find Sartok at a temporary base established ahead of them. All of the party recovers 2 strain. Ahead of them a number of Tie Fighters are seen crashing through the sky as they are shot down by the new Anti-Aircraft cannons that the Hellions helped installed. The AT-ST stolen by Rook is seen stomping through the battlefield, shooting at First Order troops. Because of the overwhelming offense of both the Nazren and the Mandalorians, the First Order troops are starting to fall back toward the mountain fortress. Ashley: With some focus--better than thinking about the Mallard, though he did note what was being said--Ashley was able to reach encourage the Force to heal what wounds he saw around him. ((force heal rolled in discord roll chat: willa, tane, and janix recover 10 wounds; just stating for bookkeeping here, lol.)) GM: Sartok greets the Hellions, saying it is good to see them again, and says that they are regrouping to begin the push into the mountain fortress. He reports that a number of crab droids were seen heading toward the old freighter that was shot down. Rook: "Willa, do you think you could take over a crab droid the way you did those cyber dogs?" Rooks voice is hoarse, edged closer to harsh than her normal, violently cheerful response to battle. Willa: "I... have never tried..." Willa replied, sounding intrigued but also a tiny bit terrified, maybe. "Getting close to them sounds like a pretty crazy idea. But we can see what the sitch looks like when we're closer." Venn: "Those things are far worse than animatronic hounds. Built for war." she says to Rook, giving her a bigger idea. The young mandalorian could have outsized confidence given her obliterating one from the walker. Janix: "Let me know before you rush in headlong," Janix chides. "I'll cover you." There is something dangerous in the way that she says cover that sounds quite deadly. Ashley: "I will do what I can in support," says Ashley, golden eyes still a touch darkened at the moment. Willa: "Who's rushing? I'm not rushing," she says, wide-eyed. "We're just spit-balling." She paused, glanced to ROok. "Right?" Sartok: "You are planning to go to the ship, then?" Ashley: "Unfortunately spit-balling tends to mean we're going to attempt it around here," replies Ashley. Janix: To Sartok. "We've probably stayed too long." To Willa. "Like rushing towards a building full of snippers." Willa: Willa started to say more, but was cowed for the moment by janix's reminder of her earlier leeroy moment. Sartok: "Very well. We will continue our attack. We will see you at the Mountain Base. Good luck." The Nazren leader says. "You are all heroes to our people." Lifting up a fist, he slams it to his chest. "We will all have victory, today." Rook: "Yes." Rook nods to Sartok, then shrugs at Willa. "I don't want you to die, but if we could commandeer one they would shoot at it, and not our people. I'd much rather the bad guys shoot at each other. Janix: "To our victory." Janix returns the gesture and mirrors Sartok. Tal: "To Victory." Tal said. Rook: nodding to Sartok, Rook returns his salute. "Your courage inspires us in turn. Victory!" Ashley: Ashley returns the gesture, as one can with one and a half arms, and echoes the others. "To victory." GM: The Hellions move forward together, and as they move through the large city they can see rubble from destroyed buildings. Knocked-over AT-RTs are spotted here and there, those that are damaged beyond re-purposing are simply abandoned. Dead troopers and Nazren are seen everywhere, the city a full-on warzone. Ahead you spot the Aeon Mallard, its hull on fire as it lays at the end of where it had driven through stone streets at great force. Atop its hull is a crab droid, scanning into the ship. On a nearby building, scouting ahead, is another. Ahead of them is a figure with a black helmet with a flowing black cloak, wearing a jetpack and surrounded by several Crab Droids. Vril Vrakth: "Howdy." The helmeted figure yells out from atop the pillar that leads into an old temple. "Quite the place to meet. The name's Vril. Vril Vrakth." Willa: "Ooh! That's the bounty hunter!" Willa squeaks in a whisper to whomever's beside her. "Super bad news!" Vril Vrakth: "See? All the ladies know my name." Janix: Shouldering her rifle and not interested in chatting, Janix tilts her head at the Vril. "So, we just shoot that one too?" She asks Willa. Willa: "Holy shrike, his hearing is good," she continued in a whisper Venn: (LOL is ye yelling) Vril Vrakth: He looks toward a crab droid. "I told you they'd hear of me." Venn: ((LOL you have to plug into it)) Tal: Bounty hunter....bounty hunter....bounty hunter...oh, that guy. Tal sighed. There was always a bounty hunter somewhere. Tal didn't want to kill anyone that wasn't an enemy, but bounty hunters made that a difficult prospect. Willa: "Hey, uh..." Sheleaned up to whisper to janix. Rook: "You may surrender, Vril Vrakth." Rook said, seeing it as a faster way to search for her people than a full on fight. Janix: Janix looked at Willa. "No, ask the Pink one." Vril Vrakth: "Ya'll are a hard lot to find!" Vril gestures to the burning ship. "Thankfully this scrap of junk works like fresh meat in a Acklay farm." Ashley: Bounty Hunter. Right. Ashley had pulled his scanner goggles down while on the way, looking around the environment and checking for any signs of life that might be able to be noticed (from his current position). Willa: (whispered) "But she scares me." Vril Vrakth: "No can do, Mando. See, I'm gettin paid mighty nice for the bounty I'm here to collect, and I gotta cover the expenses of ya'll blowin up two of my droids." Janix: To the team. "So, remind me why I shouldn't test the range of this rifle again." To Willa, softer. "That's her specialty." Vril Vrakth: "I don't want all of ya." He points toward Tal. "I just want him. The Butcher of Concord Dawn." Willa: Willa laughed oddly. "Good freakin' luck, buddy," she murmured, having seen Five take down MUCH larger dudes. GM: Tal's Bounty Obligation triggers. He is -2 of Maximum Strain Threshold. Everyone else is -1. Janix: Now, Janix was really confused. "Who?!" Ashley: Ashley sighed. Tal: Tal growled. "Really? Today? You want to do this now?" he asked. Venn: "What kind of deli worker past do you have, Fives..." GM: "No time like the present, Butcher. Tomorrow may never come again." He holds a hand up. "I can bring ya in cold, or I can bring ya in warm. Makes no difference to me." Rook: "Vril, we are liberating a planet here; fighting off the First Order. How much are you being paid?" Vril Vrakth: "Thirty Thousand Credits." Venn: "How did you get this ship here?" asked Venn, her vocoder tuned a little louder. Janix: To herself, as the group talks. "Ohhhhh." To Willa. "If you have an idea, ask the Pink Adapt. She doesn't bite hard enough to leave a mark." She flipped the switch on her rifle and aimed down the sight at this Vril. If he wanted Tal, the bounty hunter had a whole team to go through first. Ashley: "Suppose it was about time for someone's past to catch up that wasn't Two, myself, or ..." He meant Kesvo, who was currently unaccounted for. Which thinking about that put him right back into a mood. The mention of thirty-thousand credits just made him snort. Tal: "Thirty-thousand? Is that it?" he growled. Rook: Rook desperately missed kesvo, who could make this guy feel thankful to put off his bounty hunt a day or two. Vril Vrakth: "Oh, sorry. That was for a piece of ya. 100 for the whole body." "Oh, I didn't get it." He says toward Venn, pointing at the burning vessel. "It was like this when I got here." Rook: Well, 100,000 was beyond even the Hellion's ability to pay out just then. Tal: "Okay, that's more like it. Still....100,000 credits? Is that worth dying for?" Vril Vrakth: "Naw." Vril pointed his rifle at Tal. "But I ain't the one dyin." "Surrender and nobody else gets hurt." Tal: "Who's paying you for this?" Willa: "Man. How many times have I heard that. Yet it's never the way things go down..." she murmurs. Vril Vrakth: "The Admiral. Or you mighta known her as the Admiral's Wife." Rook: "Can this wait one karkin day?" Yes, it was Kesvo's favorite swear word but kesvo was on her mind. Janix: Janix kneeled, not in a talking mood as she eyed down her sight. She looked at Tal and waited, ready. Venn: Venn activates her Infrabinocular vision on her mask and looks towards the Mallard, trying to determine how many heat signatures are inside. Of course, if there are fires everywhere, that is probably not going to work well.

Janix: (3 adv = 3 strain) She'd been ready, waiting, and the breath she held was perfect as the shot aligned with this "bounty hunter". It was a clean shot and hit the hunter in the torso. A quick flash of a smile as she adjusted, readying herself as it wouldn't be likely those droids would leave them alone.

Vril unleashes a flurry of blaster fire down at Janix, precise shots coming from his modified heavy blaster rifle. Janix: "Seem fair," she says as she rushes forward amid the fire. The hunter is more accurate than she expected and she grunts as she dodges. Rook: Rook nodded agreement, crouching down preparatory to leaping into the air and intercepting the Bounty Hunter.

We have to get control of him ASAP!" Willa calls, distressed at the destruction wrought by the droids. Janix: Those fucking droids hurt. Purple blood coats her armored fingers as she looks at the shots. Anger thrums within her as she focuses that feeling to fuel her Biotics. She could move, but barely. GM: The Crab Droids stomp forward, two large blaster cannons (weapons meant for firing at tanks) unveil from their crustracean-like frames and open fire with a barrage of blaster bolts at the Hellions. Janix is nearly struck down instantly. IL-0M is blown out of the sky, falling to the street like a flaming meteorite, and Doctor Tane falls next to Tal, taking a barrage of fire that was meant for him... Rook: Rook swore softly when IL-0M went down, fighting the instinct to capture the falling ball and tuck it into her pack. the swearing grew in speed and intensity as Janix took a terrible hit, then cutting off instantly when Dr. Tane fell as well. She was well aware that the droids missed her, rather than any fancy footwork on her part keeping her in once piece.

She taps the four, disc-sized droids hanging across her modified bandolier. "I think it's time we fight a little dirty, boys," she murmurs to the droids, who chirp to life at her touch. They flutter up into the air around her, and with her silent direction, they head towards the bounty hunter. They flit around Vril like a miniature swarm of small, metallic birds, and feed intel wirelessly back to Willa. With just a few seconds of study, she analyzes the visible mechanisms of the jetpack on the man's back, and directs one of the mini droids to strike at just the right spot... Willa: Something shorts and sparks, and the jetpack shuts off mid-flight. Willa: ((Bad Motivator)) Vril Vrakth: "Wait what is this..." Vril Vrakth: "Ah, ah AHHHH!!" Vril falls back to earth, landing heavily on the ground he was just on. Vril Vrakth: "PIECE OF JUNK! They guaranteed me it'd be good for the next ten years!" "Ahhh when I find that Toydarian I'm gonna wring his scrawny neck!!" Ashley: As people start going down, Tane falling to shots meant for Tal, and Janix going forward and nearly falling herself ... Venn had said the loth-cat was out of the back and thus, Ashley will quick draw not only his lightsaber (unlit but at the ready) but the ancient kyber blade (it's blade a deep blue) as well. However, he does not attack, instead reaching once more for the Force to heal Janix as Willa is clearly up to shenanigans. The good kind of shenanigans, obviously. Willa: The mini-droids return to Willa in a tiny swarm, and she quietly praises them each as they reaffix to her bandolier. Ashley: %uF915 Heal (Force Power) Image "Every second matters."

Tal: "Hellions! Cover me!" Tal growled, thumbing on his vibroaxe. He sprints across the battlefield toward the bounty hunter like a madman, but his target quickly becomes clear. The first of the crab droids targets him, but Tal rolls beneath the blast, comes up on his feet and leaps at it as he did the Nunno once upon a time. He drives his axe straight into the Crab Droid's brain. He smashed his axe into it twice in a row, scrambling its sensors. Something smoked, popped, and burned out as the creature fell to the ground, useless. Tal: Tal didn't bother watching it go down. He threw himself to the ground just as the second one fired at him, finishing off its brother. He rolled and sprinted toward the second one, swinging his vibroaxe at the leg as he ran beneath it! The creature turned, adjusted its stance and tried to find the smaller (by comparison) man only for Tal to shoulder his axe, draw his bowcaster and fire three shots right into its belly. BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! The crab droid stumbled and sputtered, and Tal threw himself to the ground once more to get out from beneath it before it could collapse atop him. He got to his feet and looked for Vrakth! Vril Vrakth: "Stars and stones, boy! No wonder they got such a big price on your head! Musta killed all them people on Concord Dawn yourself!" "But I heard about you and your tricks." Vril quick-drew a grenade from his side. "And I can't wait to see that Old Lady's face when I lay you like a slab on her table." He throws a Heavy Stun grenade at Tal. Rook: Rook's fierce laughter rang across the battlefield as Tal Vodax catapulted through the enemies, destroying two deadly Crab Droids in mere moments. Venn Parsa SENSES ADVANTAGE!

Barely a glimmer outlines her form as she thwips her whipcord thrower line to one of the Mallard's nacelles, allowing her a quick climb. She rolls along the hull of the vessel past the droid, twin lengths of amethyst fire flaring. The sweeping cape materializing heralds the rest of her appearance as she immers out of stealth in the midst of a leaping strike of her saber at the rear of the Crab Droid. Janix: As the pillar falls, Janix calls to Ashley, who reacts with the timing and grace of his training. Willa is a little slower but the three of them avoid the falling pillar. "Stay together!"

Janix: Her Biotics flare around her as she fuels her body to regenerate her wounds. As she does so, she glares at Vril behind her helmet and unleashes a blast of pure energy at the hunter.

The bad news is that her entire arm is numb in the wake of the shock. The good news is that one of her tools goes flying out of her hand when she's shocked, and beans Tal on the side of the head, jarring him out of his momentary stupor. Rook: surveying the scene, seeing no more active enemies, Rook flies back to Dr. Tane and IL-0M. Pulling a blanket from her survival gear, she carefully wraps what pieces of dr. Tane's body she can find, and then collects IL-0M. Tal: Tal immediately looks for the bounty hunter. Willa: "Ngghh. Still. Helping!" she grits out, teeth clenched. Janix: Tired of this shit and angry at the wounds she'd taken as well as her teammates, Janix aims and fires as the last of the droids falls to her rirfle. Tal: Tal goes to check on Willa. "You okay, Willa?" he asked, skin still tingling from the shock of her assistance. Janix: As she turns, she sees Rook with Tane. Janix goes to help, silently. GM: Tane's burnt form is blasted heavily, barely recognizable. IL-0M also looks to be in bad shape and will need major repairs. Ashley: "Willa," calls out Ashley, who does not look well (those are are not right; too dark) "can you get back over here. Bring the Butcher too." Willa: "I'm fine," she growls, shaking her head to deter Tal. "Check on your friend!" she nods to the Mallard. Rook: Even though she knows better, Rook applies a stim pack to Dr. Tane's body ... she just has to try. Venn: While everyone is distracted and dealing with the chaos, Venn will walk towards the dorsal hatch she is so familiar with. Janix: A hand on Rook's shoulder. "Rook... " She is trying to help but it's hard when facing death. Tal: "Go see One and get checked. I'll check on the Mallard. Find that bounty hunter's body if you can. I want to make sure he wasn't tracked." he said. Venn: She will enter the Mallard and look for survivors. Rook: Rook goes still at the touch upon her shoulder, and it is all that keeps her from trying another Stim Pack. Willa: She follows orders, though sullenly, angry at herself. GM: Venn make a Hard perception check with 3 black thanks to the damage and the smoke. Janix: "We'll honor him later. This battle isn't over," she adds to Rook, calling on her honor. "The living need us." Ashley: Ashley will, for the time being, slide away his lightsaber but keep the ancient kyber blade on him. "I'm sorry, I can't ..." he says to Rook, though the words feel hollow. If only ... No, he knew this death was one he could not fix. Venn Parsa SENSES DANGER!

Clutching the talisman, trying to focus on that bit of calming presence (giving him one extra white pip), he tries to shed the anger and pain to heal those around him. Venn Parsa has BEGINNER'S LUCK! Once Per Session, she adds suc to a check equal to the number of current Light Side Destiny Points. Rook: Rook nods to Janix, and maneuvers Dr. Tane's body into a sheltered location. IL-0M, though she tucks into her pack. she doesn't want to be too far from the little droid. Venn: So 1 success, 2 advantage Janix: "This isn't your fault," she says to Ashley. "This is the First Order. This is the bounty hunter. Not our team." She looked to the Mallard, where Venn had to be. "The Living need us." She gestured to the Mallard.

It was slaved to some other controller... %u2301 . Venn will use the triumph to ... hit the flame suppressing system? Tal: Tal was on his way to the ship, but stopped at Venn's words. It sounded like the Captain wasn't in there. That made him feel a little better. He decided to look for his next target. The bounty hunter's body. Venn: She will then remove the slave unit device and exit the Mallard. GM: Tal can find the bounty hunter's body on the top of the roof of the structure near them. Tal: He will drag the body down off the roof and look through his belongings for anything of note. Ashley: "It's less ..." Ashley starts but then shakes his head and instead struggles to work with the Force. The calm of the talisman helps, just as the echo of Venn's words earlier do, and he is able to encourage the wounds of his allies to heal. ((willa, janix, and rook heal ten wounds. a single crit is also healed, if they have one.)) Rook: Ashely's power eased the physical pain, yet only increased her mental hurt. She didn't feel worthy of the aid, not in that moment. Ashley: As the Force faded back away, the sounds of Tal behind them dragging down the body of the bounty hunter became the focus ... Janix: They all have different priorities, but hearing that there was no dead pilot lifted one. "This war isn't done and if anything, we honor death with our lives." She adds to Rook. There is no easy fix, but she knew something about keeping going in the face of fallen comrades. Ashley: Which absolutely meant that the Pantoran was moving quickly away from the others and finally losing whatever stomach contents he had. (Combination of pain and oh, you know, stone cold murdering people with the Force.) Venn: She sighs and holds out a hand to the fires, attempting to snuff them out by pushing the air and starving it.

A quick glance at the Mallard, and she keyed her COMM to ask VENN "How hurt is the Mallard? was that crash faked?" Janix: Janix looked to Ashely, confused. "Take care of the living Rook." She added, as she moved towards Ashely and lays a hand on his back. "We're not done, this isn't over," she says as she runs circles over his back in a motherly fashion. Venn: The Force wells inside her and around her, pouring in the direction of the flames like a river. Air molecules excite and rush as they blast apart, starving the fires. Her hand lowers and she moves to drop off the side of the ship. GM: In the distance the sound of battle rings through the air. The Hellions can rest for a moment to recover their wounds as Mandalorian Fang Fighters and jetpack-wearing warriors take over the skies. The push toward the last First Order hold-out on Nizon is imminent. Victory here will crush the First Order and liberate the planet. Failure will have undone all of the hard work and make the sacrifices moot. Rook: Rook spun to face Janix. "I know. I know how to do this. THIS IS MY LIFE. I have made sure his body is somewhere i can find it, to return ot his people. I've collected IL-0M. I am ready." End Session 103

Episode 6, Chapter 4, Session 102 - Insurgency GM: The Hellions are engaged in a dire battle against First Order forces on the planet Nizon. Backed by Nazren insurgents and flying Mandalorians, they are fighting fiercely on the ground of an ancient city that is soon becoming reduced to rubble by the diabolical forces of The First Order. Making their way to rendezvous with the leader of the resistance - Sartok - they seek to dismantle a First Order guard station that is separating the troops. NEW COMBAT ROUND!

The move allowed her to move and take up a defensive stance, as she prepared to face the pilot of the AT-ST. Janix: (trimp crit and all white to dmg to kill off) Janix M'kyato has ended their turn. %u2714%uFE0F%uF387 Venn: Venn will move and then activate her optical camoflauge, vanishing into stealth like The Predator. (What kind of check do you need for that?) Willa: ((Which way was Venn moving when she disappeared?)) Janix: As her rifle whirls and recharges Janix rushes forward to the remaining troopers after taking down their leader .She slides in on the shin guards of her armor as she lets Biotic energy flow through her limbs. Lashing out, she fells two as she slides past before kipping up and roundhousing one more. As the final one is about to move, about to react, she slams the butt of her rifle into the enemies neck, the crunch a promise of the finality of the move. After done, the four remaining fold around her onto the ground.

Rook being on top of the AT-ST seemed par for the course, but the smaller walkers seemed to be getting awfully close to the other Hellions, by Willa's eye. She closed the distance between herself and the building behind which Tane and One were crouched, and sank down beside them. "Craziest first date ever, if you ask me," she chirped offhandedly, her attention split while she peered around the corner. Spying a group of troopers and one of the smaller walkers, she pulls out one of her last few grenades, and draws a steadying sigh before launching it towards the group. She then pulls back behind the building, seeking cover. ((+2 strain)) Doctor Rafan Tane: "Yes, but are you dating me or the droid?"

Improved After using Dodge, can make a Move maneuver as an OOT incidental. Ashley: Ashley really had no comments about the entire date thing business, mostly because he was busy settling back in after watching his shots land and troopers go down. (It was not a great date--day--for troopers, judging by the blast of Willa's grenade.)

Unless you have a cybernetic replacement, cannot perform actions that use that limb. Add 1 Setback to all other actions. GM: The AT-RT stomps forward and unleashes a barrage of heavy blaster fire that chews past Willa and rips through Ashley's armor. His left arm takes the brunt of the attack as he gets sent to the ground, the limb literally blown off of his body. The old AT-RT shows its age, though, as the walker's cannon smolders.

Venn: (2024 Tal loses a limb) Willa: The earth around her is rocked, and with a deafening pair of WHOMPs, dirt and debris is thrown into the air. Willa crouched, covering her head with her hands with a shout of surprise. "That means we should move!" she shouts, looking to Tane and Ashley, only to find the latter a smoldering near-corpse. "OH NO!" she squeaks, reaching to pull the Pantoran closer. Rook: ((go IL-0M!)) Doctor Rafan Tane: "Good job little buddy! I'll draw their fire!" Tane moves and runs next to Tal. "Hey there, best friend." He then opens fire with both blaster pistols at the troopers near them.

The river of power her consciousness rests in runs sanguine red all of a sudden. Instinct takes over and she waves her hand, sending a blast of dust and debris front of the AT-ST just as it fires. GM: The missile flies through the air and crashes against the building, making rubble fall among Ashley and Willa as the ruined structure is damage. The dust and debris, as well as some Biotic efforts from Janix against the missile itself prevent the attack from hitting home. Medicine Willa Dice Roll (Ability Advantage) (Ability Success) (Proficiency Triumph(+Success)) (Proficiency Success + Advantage) (Proficiency Blank) (Proficiency Success + Advantage) (Difficulty Failure) Results (Success) (Success) (Success) (Advantage) (Advantage) (Advantage) (Triumph) Ashley: There is not much thought to the process, just the attempt to dodge out of the way, but Ashley ... Ashley can't dodge all that fire and his last thoughts before he went down--feeling the pain seering through his left arm--was that he really, really wished he had just used his lightsabers. Mostly, however, there's just the searing pain that trembles out along the Force. Willa: ((+2 wounds for Surgeon)) Willa tries to focus past the insane distractions of the battlefield erupting around her to administer enough first aid to get One awake again. Zeyda's DX-765 Disruptor Rifle Rook B. Damage 11 Critical 2 Range Long Qualities Cumbersome 2, Vicious 5, Lethal Blows rank 1. AIM as Incidental at Short Range, Accurate 2, Quick Draw.

"HELLO again!" she says, with a grin. "Welcome back!" And she unceremoniously jabs his arm with a stimpack. Rook: %uF3A7COM to Hellion Away Team: %u2301 I have acquired the AT-ST %u2301 Ashley: Ashley doesn't scream, his jaw is clenched as he wakes up, and the arm is actually gone. Instead there's just stony silence for a moment as he tries to parse what Willa said, though he winces at the stimpack jab. "... thanks," he says, trying to pull himself up into a sitting position. Rook: Rook, inside the AT-RT, is unaware that Ashley has been so badly hurt. She disintegrates the Pilot with a merciless shot to the back, tosses him out of his seat and settles in, surveying the battlefield. Tal: Tal sees the AT-RT take aim at the last location of his teammates. He doesn't know what happened there, but he can see the sheer amount of damage it did...and that can't be good. Tal attacks the soldier in the walker immediately. Willa: "Take it easy, buddy," she said more gently, helping him try to sit up. "Uhm. I know it looks bad, but.. you know, this actually opens up a whole world of opportunities, you know? You're gonna be okay." Ashley: "... to be fair," says Ashley, his gaze still kind of off, "one of my mentors has a robotic arm." Dice System: The GM flips a Dark Side Destiny Point Dark Side points remaining 5 New Light Side total 4 Tal's Vibro-Ax Tal Vodax Damage 11 Critical 1 Range Engaged Qualities Pierce 4, Sunder, Vicious 4 Dice Roll (Ability Blank) (Proficiency Advantage x2) (Proficiency Success + Advantage) (Proficiency Advantage) (Proficiency Success) (Proficiency Success x2) (Setback Blank) (Setback Failure) (Difficulty Failure) (Challenge Blank) Results (Success) (Success) (Advantage) (Advantage) (Advantage) (Advantage) Tal sprung forward, doing a quick bit of math in his head. He couldn't jump that high. But he could bring the AT-RT down to his level. He swung for the fences at the knee-joint of the walker and cleaved through it, watching as the bastard dropped to the stone floor. "You shouldn't've done what you did." he growled. Willa: Willa eyed Ashley uncertainly. While she didn't personally consider a cybernetic replacement anything but an upgrade, she knew well how jarring it was to wake up without a piece of yourself. The Pantoran's calm assessment of the bit about his mentor threw her, a little. "How you feelin? Need another?" she asked, holding up a stimpack. GM: The walker loses one leg, hopping up and down awkwardly on a leg. First Order Stormtroopers: "These weren't designed for this sort of movement!" Ashley: Ashley was clearly focused through the pain, though who could say that was a good thing. What he did, however, was get himself somewhat standing and focused on the walker that took his arm. Sure, a cybernetic arm was an upgrade, but he was operating on pain and the threat of death to his comrades. He thought about Eric in the bactatank and Venn or Rook or Kesvo being taken down and reached out.

Why it didn't affect her, Rook couldn't say; was it the adrenaline? The shear, emotional high of what they were trying to accomplish? Simply Luck? No; this was either fate or her purpose ... or Venn. Probably Venn, Rook decided, as she scanned for those incoming droids the marvelous Space Witch had warned them were coming. What she saw, was a walker hopping on one leg ...

There's another one of those dudes behind us, still." Janix M'kyato has ended their turn. %u2714%uFE0F%uF387 Ashley: Whether it was the Light or the Dark that answered did not matter. Ashley was focused upon the flicker of life within the walker, on taking, and he did. As he pulled life from the pilot--it didn't matter if they weren't dead yet--he could feel it flowing through him, strengthening him. Even if it didn't get his arm back.

She finishes her rush towards the group as little flashes of blue light around her and she wraps her arm around the Sergeant, twirls herself around him and wrenches him back as his neck snaps. Janix lands among his companions and readies for the next attacks. %uF343 Dodge Activation OOT Incidental Effect When targeted by a combat check (ranged or melee) the character may immediately perform a dodge incidental to suffer 1 strain, then upgrade the difficulty of the combat check by 1.

Ashley: "Don't think the one that took my arm can fire," says Ashley, with an uncanny certainty to Willa, "can't say that about the others. Others are hurt worse than me now." Janix: The troopers move away from her and fire as they hit and her armor isn't enough to soak all the damage. She winces as she relentlessly pursues them while trying to dodge their blaster fire. GM: Meanwhile, those who witnessed the brutal death of their sergeant back up, firing as they retreat at Janix, peppering her with a barrage of blaster fire, but she keeps coming after them, initiating a high-pitched shriek from the two troopers in front. The one that Ashley harmed and had blasted with the AT-RT draws his blaster carbine from the back of the walker and shoots down at Willa for trying to offer First-Aid to his target!

"Well, regardless, we should probably mo--AIEE!" she yelps, flinching as the ground beside her is assaulted with blaster fire. Venn: She doesn't comlink to get a report on the pantoran, as she has now submitted to instinct. The weave of the Force knits into her ends of her neurons, her will, and they become one. Pebbles and bits gravel levitate off the ground, a harbinger of worse to come. Despite the raging battle, the area around the Recon Walker has its sound drown out, muffled. Like a phantom materializing in the real, the masked woman steps out of her shimmering invisibility with her hand outstretched.

GM: The resistance fighters poke their head out of the building and aim their stolen rifles down at the pilot of the AT-RT, peppering him with blaster fire as he moves to recover. He is slain and the Walker slumps against the wall of the building. Venn: Maneuver to move.

Swearing quietly in a mixture of awe and worry, Rook shook her head as suddenly the smoking walker was tossed backwards. ... showing her where the Crab Droids were Janix: While ready for blaster fire, Janix is not ready for the flying AT-RT. It's good that it destroys the troopers in front of her as she looks back towards where it came. It was good to have the Force Witch on her side for sure. GM: Crawling over the wreckage, two old LM-432 Crab Droids skitter across the battleground, their red eyes scanning the field.

Only some, because Jannix and Venn were under fire from the Crab Droids!! Sighting carefully, Rook unleashed her Walker upon the first of the Crab Droids, her shot hiting the motivator and causing the droid to explode. "Oya!!" Janix: It was also very nice when her teammates were peppy Mandos with an ability to commandeer massive walking death machines. She'd have to thank Rook later for sure! Tal: Tal watched Tane slay the walker. He didn't even stop to be offended at the loss of the kill. He simply ran toward the Sergeant and put his axe into man's helmet, cracked it, and cut into his skull, killing him instantly. He looked to the stormtroopers. "YOU'RE NEXT!" Ashley: The sight of the walker going into the wall--Venn--was almost enough to pull Ashley from the darkened thought processes he was following. The sounds of Tal doing murders on the other side of the building was more than enough to let him know things were handled. Which meant, of course, that Ashley could focus on the fact Janix was injured. He slipped forward, quick drawing his primary saber with his right hand (unlit) and giving Willa a quiet thanks as he got the Hapan into view. %uF915 Heal (Force Power) Image "Every second matters."

She gives Ashley a quick nod of thanks but stays focused on the crab, not yet realizing Ashley's grievous wound. Ashley: There was nothing but pain this time as Ashley called upon the Force to heal his comrades. The Dark answered him and he pulled on it, pushing the regenerative power not only towards Janix--healing her wounds--but Tal as well to help him recover. Venn: (Who is left?) (I will go) Willa: Willa's eyes go wide as her blaster bolt ricochets off of one helmet head, glances a second, and lands on a third, providing just enough hurt to put all three out of commission. "WHOA." "Did you SEE tha--!" she starts to say, whirling around to find Ashley gone. Ashley: It's fine, Willa, he's just at the other end of the destroyed building. Everything is fine.

Well, so much for the crab droid (it got what it deserved). Venn: %uF3A7COM to Field Team: %u2301 Confirmed both droids are down and we aren't seeing any enemy forces up here, over. %u2301 . GM: The Nazren from the roof calls out down to the group below. "Can you give us a hand in here? We have some anti-aircraft weapons we want to mount and were set back by the First Order." Willa: "Those crab droids have an owner somewhere," she tells Ashley, still looking. Janix: As Janix falls back to the team, she sees Ashley and notices the arm. "By the Goddess. Are you ok?" The Jedi looks fine minus the missing arm.... Ashley: ((need to be in the vehicle to roll the check)) Willa: "Yeah we can help!" Willa calls to answer the Nazren.

Mostly, however, he is healing both Tane and Janix Venn: "If everyone is upright enough, the sooner we help them get their defenses mounted, the better." Janix: There is a lot of purple blood on her armor but because of Ashley, Janix is still up and fighting. She's surprised Tane is injured though but he's been a help, or at least that flying machine of his. GM: IL-0M floats after Doctor Tane, a little carbon-scoring on the side of its spherical form, but it chirps happily at Rook through the Comm that it admired her capability for carnage.

"You, too, little guy! You're the best." Rook answers IL-0M, slowly relaxing as she realizes everyone lived. Janix: As the regroup, Janix stays near Ashley but looks towards Tal. "I'm at 14 now, what are you at?" She jokes, though honestly she's lost count in the midst of the ongoing war. Ashley: Something about the calm of the battle, and seeing that the others were mostly unharmed, was calming and Ashley is able to feel the Dark recede somewhat from his focus. A breath is released as he lets the Force flow, encouraging the wounds of his comrades to heal. (It better be the coolest cybernetic arm ever, he thinks distantly.) Tal: Tal nods in agreement at Venn's idea. He looks to Janix. "I stopped counting around fifteen. We were getting shot at." he said. But when he sees Ashley, his eyes soften. That wasn't supposed to happen. It didn't seem real, not really. Rook: Rook responds over the COMMs, "I feel that someone should keep watch up here, but if someone wants a chance to pilot this beast, I can help set up their positions." Janix: "Mmm," she responds, feeling that war weariness start to seep in. It wasn't as much fun counting anymore but any other banter wouldn't help now. Willa: "Should we go help the Nazren?" she suggested, after a few minutes of quiet observation. Janix: %uF3A7COM to Rook: %u2301 Isn't that your new toy? %u2301 At Willa's suggestion Janix nods and adjust her rifle. "Depends on if we're taking Rook's new toy with." Willa: Her brows lift. "Into the bunker? I don't think so," she says, with a dry laugh. "Though, to be fair, it wouldn't be the first impossible thing I've seen today." Venn: "Thank you for the quick work on him." the masked woman says to Willa, with a nod towards Ashley.

Ashley: "Impossible things are kind of what we do," replies Ashley, who ... really just needs to take a moment but nope, pain is life right now. Except now he can't remember if he said thanks, so ... "Thanks. Sorry I'm kind of ..." He waves his hand, though thankfully puts away the unlit lightsaber before doing so. Janix: Janix will help heft the weapon up.

GM: The Hellions are able to get the anti-air FLAK guns installed. The sounds of distant combat echo from every street and from the rooftop as the city erupts into widespread violence. The smell of smoke and burned insulation becomes thick enough that you find you'll need filter masks to operate without issue. A loud clap of thunder announces the opening of heavy blaster artillery, and indeed you can see streaks of red light flow down from Mount Antas as capital-ship-strength turbolaser fire strikes the city. One of the heavy bolts hits a building not farm from you, and a wave of debris showers over you all as a building takes a direct hit. From your vantage point, you can hear the sounds of children screaming inside the building to the north, and you see that the structure is starting to lean to the side as fire bursts out through lower-floor windows. Willa: "I know it's not pretty, but it'll get you through until the end of the d--" she starts to explain, before the world outside seems to erupt into chaos Ashley: Ashley kind of chokes out a laugh. "Don't be shy, it's fine. I'm fine." He pauses and whispers. "I'll probably be freaking out about later but not right now. So thank you-" Except then, you know, screaming and chaos GM: You see Nazren rush toward the building, but sniper-fire from First Order troops in the distance from a nearby warehouse stops their flight to save the screaming civilians. You see on the rooftop several Nazren children moving to get to the highest floor, but the burning building will either collapse or the fire will claim their lives if someone doesn't get to them soon.

It appears the troops are utilizing it as a directorial location for turbolaser fire into the city. There are two working lifts inside, but the building would be Daunting to climb.

Willa rushes forward with Tal chasing after her to provide backup. Blaster fire rains down at Willa, while GM: Rook and Venn work together to get to the roof to help rescue the Nazren civillians. GM: Another shot goes out toward Tal and Janix before they reach the base of the building. Ashley: Which is to say that he focuses on the fact he feels the life begin to drain from at least three people within the building. "... they're hurt," he hisses out along the comms, golden eyes briefly turning a darker shade as he once again gives into the Dark Side.

Rook: %uF3A7COM to Dr. Tane: %u2301 Can you help get these people off of the roof? %u2301 Tal: A shot hits Tal as he sprints after the group, barely slowing him down as the continues to go after his teammates. Willa: Once she reaches the warehouse, Willa skids to her knees in front of the structural post the flutter droids have informed her is a structural support mechanism for this corner of the building. Ashley: Ashley takes a deep breath, reaching once more for the snipers.

Rook: Rook helps Venn get to the roof, and they work to evacuate the civilians from the burning building. GM: Some snipers come out of the window and shoot down at Willa, Janix, and Tal.

Still ... it helps with the pain. GM: The civilians follow Venn's commanding voice, moving to stand beside her. Willa: Willa sets the charge, and was focused enough that she's surprised when she looks up to find Tal and Janix there, covering her. "Get outta range!" she tells them, as she begins to run away from the charge -- along the building to try and avoid more sniper shots Venn: Spending last destiny to Introduce a fact. Dice System: Venn Parsa flips a Light Side Destiny Point New Dark Side total 9 Light Side points remaining 0 Tal: Tal will turn and run away from the incoming blast! Venn: There is a tallways ladder on the nearest building that could, if laid horizontally across both roofs, make a makeshift bridge. Willa: Once the friendlies are far enough away to prevent injury, Willa triggers the blast. It's a relatively quiet thing at first, compared to the noise and chaos of the battlefield so far today. But the soft, thrum is soon echoed by the telltale cracking of concrete and wood. The building's entire corner begins to kneel, tugging the rest of the structure off-kilter. Janix: Janix follows without hesitation after Willa and Tal! Venn: She holds out her hand and attempts to rip the ladder free from across the way....

GM: Willa can practically feel the laser sight on her back, but just as a shot is about to ring out, the building explodes. The ground floor is quickly destroyed and the large structure begins to fold like a paper building that's just had water tossed onto it. Venn: Her eyes are closed as she moves her hands, like a symphony conductor, raising the giant escape ladder to bridge one end onto the burning buildings roof. Rook: "Perfect!" Rook says, then helps assist the civilians across the bridge, shadowing them to catch any that fall. Venn: CLUNK! GM: The snipers' hold-out is utterly destroyed, taking the danger away from the evacuation except for time itself. Janix: She spares a look back after the explosion. "Good work," she says as she runs forward to join the others in saving the civilians. Ashley: Ashley will help stabilize the other end of the ladder. Yes, with one arm. Shhhhhh. GM: Quickly the civilians are moving across the bridge. Venn and Rook, above them, hear the sound of frantic blaster fire as starfighters fly above them in a dogfight. Willa: ((He has 1 1/2 now!) Rook: it is THEN that Rook sees the improvised Robot Arm! "What in the hell!" GM: A familiar sound comes to them, too, as a larger ship flies past them, casting a large shadow as it moved deeper toward the city. Loud Turbolaser fire erupts as the Aeon Mallard zooms toward the mountain. Venn: "Go, quickly now." she urges calmly. GM: And then the turbolaser blast strikes the ship. The ship explodes in a large fireball, and all of you see it nosedive somewhere into the upper city. End Session 102

Episode 6, Chapter 4, Session 101 - Insurgency GM: The Hellions battle alongside the Mandalorians and the Nazren against the terrible First Order that have occupied the world of Nizon. After meeting heavy resistance against the First Order and their Trandoshan Slaver allies, the Hellions battle in a pitched fight against an AT-AT, an AT-ST, and several ground troopers as they try to disable the gun batteries that protect the main bridge into the city. The Mandalorians, in the meanwhile, engage with the First Order at their main garrison. Willa: Willa runs at full speed from her position among the fallen ground troops towards the stationary turret, hoping to dodge vehicle fire while on the way! Willa: Halfway there, she ducks behind some stonework for a moment of cover. Willa has ended their turn. Shatter Missiles Rook B.

Rook: Rook swerves to shoot at the deadly imperial fighter, using Her True Aim and a Evasive Action. (two strain for two maneuvers)!

The tower is a 20 foot tall anti-vehicle structure with twin blaster cannons. There appears to be a reinforced door into it. Venn: Venn will continue working her way through the AT-AT towards the cockpit. Rook: Shearing metal screams and the brutal lightening of the AT-AT's main cannon slice Rook's Basilisk droid, the hull fracturing into a dealdy rain. With a yell, Rook flings herself free of the destruction, trusting to her jet pack to avoid dying in the inferno. Tal: Tal let the AT-AT pass him as he tried to say in its rear view. He wanted to get to the turret without the AT-AT or the AT-ST focusing upon him. GM: There's a couple unfortunate stormtroopers in the AT-AT, but they don't look like they want to stay here. There is also a reinforced door with a codelock between the troop-area and the cockpit. Venn: ((Are they armed? what are they doing?)) GM: The Stormtroopers have blaster rifles and shock prods, they are trying to give Venn space - they just haven't gotten to act yet.

GM: The remaining trooper, seeing the complete destruction of the other troops in the walker, hurriedly opens the door. A little bit of green-looking gas floats into the troop compartment.

A hoarse sounding voice comes from the cockpit, the commander turning back to look. "What the blazes!?" Out of the turret, a squadron of First Order Troopers march out of the door, moving to reinforce the fading defenses. Venn: The masked woman holds up the crackling amethyst blade, showering those nearby in its light. "I am here to help." she says in a disturbing fashion through her vocoder. GM: "Uhh..." The commander looks to his co-pilot, then back at her. "Good??" Venn: LOL GM: The troopers level their rifles at Janix and Willa as they approach. "Halt in the name of the First Order!"

It then opens its side and shoots out a cloud of black smoke. Smoke Emitters: As an action, may deploy smoke screen to create concealment that adds 3 setback dice to all checks within short range.

With a bemused smirk (that they cannot see), she leaps forward and unleashes a roundhouse that crushes one chest and knocks down the first Trooper. "Wrong request," she says as she lashes out with her angled fist and crushes another trooper, and, with a few more blows, takes down two more. Landing with her knees softened and her helmeted gaze leveled at the rest, she makes a simple motion, the universal 'come and get some' to the rest. It should buy Willa time to run and be a good distraction. It's not like Janix could beat down a blast door with her bare hands. At least, probably not. Doctor Rafan Tane: While IL-0M flies over to cause a distraction for the AT-ST, Tane opens fire with his twin blaster pistols at the back of the Troopers as he flies above them with his rocket boots. GM: Ashley falls back to help some of the wounded Mandalorians and Nazren as they make their way toward the turret.

That one was definitely next on her list. Venn: "Not you." Beat. "Them." she utters via the filtered mask. Then she points a gloved hand beyond the Imperials and to the Mandalorians flying around beyond their viewport of the Walker. GM: "Oh." The Commander says slowly. "Not good."

Willa flinches behind her cover, ducking when it seemed a bolt was headed for her. "These people are out of their minds, Nines!" She flips on her SIKE system, and a translucent teal field of energy fizzles into existence around her, granting a bit more protection. "It's an opening, though. Let's go!" She then darts out from cover and runs for the turret while Janix occupies the troopers. Willa has ended their turn. Venn: %uF3A7COM to Hellion Field Team: %u2301 This is Two, Walker personnel is out of comission and I'm at the controls. %u2301 .

Janix: A flash of purple and blue in her side vision lights as she hopes Willa made it safely while Venn (probably? that mask made it hard to tell at times) claims control of the Walker. It was nice having such a competent team, though she wasn't quite sure how Venn managed all that.

Venn: (That little ball droid needs to take over the hellions mission on its own) Rook: Rook laughs, and then rattles a repeat of the sit-rep to Tvastar in Mando'a. The Walker charges forward, laser fire sending plumes of rock and ash into the air. Tal: Tal sprints to the turret to assist Willa and Janix! Venn: ((BTW, for the log, my reroll was allowed by "Natural Mystic", 1x per session talent.. sorry couldnt find it earlier)) Unarmed Janix M'kyato Damage 4 Critical 3 Range Engaged Qualities Disorient 1, Pierce 5, Knockdown, Stun Setting Dice Roll (Ability Success x2) (Proficiency Advantage) (Proficiency Success) (Proficiency Blank) (Setback Threat) (Difficulty Failure + Threat) (Challenge Failure) (Force Light x2) (Force Dark) (Force Dark) (Force Light) (Force Light x2) Results (Success) (Threat) (Light) (Light) (Light) (Light) (Light) (Dark) (Dark) (1 white = adv and 4 white = success) (Janix will move out of engaged and take cover) Venn: %uF3A7COM to Rook: %u2301 Spitfire, can you make your way to this walker? %u2301 . Janix: With a lunge forward Janix lashes out with her fist, a hint of blue to the attack as she hits the Sergeant in the throat, a sensitive spot assuredly. It lands across the leader's chin and blood sprays across the ground but doesn't drop the leader. Frowning, Janix moves backwards and takes cover as she looks towards Willa with Tal backing the Twi'lek up. Venn: ATAT Dice System: The GM flips a Dark Side Destiny Point Dark Side points remaining 6 New Light Side total 3 Rook: Rook uses a Full Throttle maneuver and shoots over to the AT-AT, and slams into the cockpit of the magnificent, historical weapon.

Rook: With blind instinct guiding her, Rook pivots the akward AT-AT onto only three legs, and let's fly a perfect, dreamed of shot at the AT-ST! her laughter is fierce and predatory, as she adds an elated, "What a great present!" to Venn GM: The troopers, seeing their situation is hopeless with the AT-AT turning on the AT-ST, turn and start to flee. In short order the Hellions capture the turret and can either reprogram it or sabotage it. Willa: Willa, hating to see useful tech go to waste, happily reprogams the turret to serve the needs of the natives. Venn: Venn kicks her feet up, crossing them at the ankles, somewhere near the dash and lets Rook play with her new toy. The Umbaran watches as matters proceed.

She gives the fellow warrior a nod as she takes out her long range rifle and takes up watch. GM: Willa is able to expertly hack into the turret, but for a moment she fears she set off an alarm. Only through quick-thinking and some insane reaction time is she able to avert a disaster! (2 strain). Rook: Rook takes the walker through its paces, utterly delighted.

We have taken the garrison and routed the First Order! We drive them toward the heart of the city!" Willa: Once it was done, she sat back with a bit of a huff, relieved after a moment of stress. "Wow. You know, for a pretty straightforward gunnery system, this was actually pretty complex. I mean, redundant subroutines aren't that uncommon, but every individual diode was electronically reinforced with dat--" she says, only belatedly looking up to find that there are no conversational partners within earshot any longer. Tvastar Ordo: "Through your efforts, we have a way into the city itself now. We shall regroup and begin the push. Would you be willing to meet with Sartok and reinforce him within the city?" Janix: Janix looks at Willa, in a helmet, and nods slowly. "Yeah, guess that would be hard." She understood about half that but the kid was helpful so she wanted to be encouraging. GM: Overhead Mandalorian Fang Fighters fly past you, lighting up the sky as they shoot down TIE Fighters and Strikers, Basilisk War Droids soon appearing around you to reinforce your position. Willa: She hadn't realized Janix was paying attention, but the response from the Hapan caused a bright-as-daylight smile to slice across the Twi'lek's face. "It was. But not as hard as punching a whole SQUADRON of troopers at once!" Tal: "Alright. Time to find Sartok then and finish this." Tal said. Willa: She heads down out of the turret onto the ground level along with the others, and grins brightly as she watches the Mandos roaring past overhead. Venn: Venn informs Tvastar that there are unconscious prisoners in the AT-AT for them to hold onto. She also says that the massive walker's stores likely have arms that can be distributed as well as speederbikes.

Janix: The banter with Willa and finding the team relatively unharmed buoys Janix and helps her feel refreshed as they move into the next battlefield. She didn't thrive on conflict but there was an easy grace on the battlefield she knew well. Tal: "Yeah, that would help. Thank you." he said, the pain finally catching up to him.

At Willa's comment, Janix raises her hand and points to some purple blood. Venn: Venn has a Mando or two help her get the 3 imperials that are unconscious out of the walker and into their custody. She relieves them of their code cylinders if they have any or other intel first.

Willa: Willa had just closed up her kit, but at Janix's gesture, she pops back out the small medicinal sealant gun she'd used on Tal. She set it against Janix's wound, and fed a line of medicated paste onto her skin to temporarily seal up the broken skin. OR SHE WOULD HAVE Medicine Willa Dice Roll (Ability Success) (Proficiency Success + Advantage) (Proficiency Success + Advantage) (Proficiency Success) (Proficiency Blank) (Difficulty Failure x2) Results (Success) (Success) (Advantage) (Advantage) The paste sputters out before the wound is wholly sealed, and Willa smacks it a couple of times in an attempt to get it to keep going To no avail. Janix: Ashley is busy with critical injuries on some of their allies so she's happy to let Willa help. It wasn't as though Janix was on death's door (this time). GM: Venn does not find any useful information at this time that's readily apparent. She can try to bring the code cylinders somewhere to get more information. Tal: Tal felt quite a bit better after Willla's aid. "Hey, thanks." he told her. "You ready for this?" he asked. Janix: "Not too late to back out kid," Janix adds to Willa. Rook: Rook salutes Tvastar with a fist to the chest, "It will be our honor!" she assures him, as to being asked to support Sartok. IF he looks hurt she will ask Willa to see to him, too. Willa: "No problem!" she chirped, happy to have been of help when Tal thanked her. She blinked, though, and looked from Tal to Janix and back, incredulous. "Are you kidding?" "This is the most excitement I've seen in months." Venn: ((title of her sex holo)) Willa: "I'm not just ready, I'm amped." Venn: ((The ATAT is involved in the next part as well?)) Janix: Janix knew the rest of the team, they wouldn't back down. "Good to hear. Let's finish this." She claps the kid's shoulder again, a smile on her face unseen. The kid and Rook would definitely be trouble together but it was refreshing. Willa: Willa is ready to advance. Venn: "Spitfire, you should give one of your mandalorian friends a quick crash course on how to operate this thing." Venn makes sure that their forces know to procure weapons and speederbikes before she leaves the titanic durasteel monster. A chill of days past creeps up her spine after the adrenaline wears off... the Dark Side making its presence known. Rook: Rook gives a thumbs up. "That's a good idea. she's a great piece of Machinery." After apologizing for loosing the Basilisk, she will offer to train anyone who is interested on the AT-AT! GM: As you enter the city, you find that there is turbolaser fire coming from the mountain down into the city. The ancient city has been reduced to smoldering rubble in parts, and all around you, you can hear the sounds of battle in the air. Venn with acquiring the code cylinders off of the AT-AT personnel, picks up communications off of their channels that the First Order is preparing to send a communique to The Arkanian Dragon in orbit for assistance. In addition, they see a number of Nazren in danger and in need in the streets. Rook: "Willa, can you block that transmission?" Rook asks, preparing to rush to the aid of the Nazren in the streets. she checks herself, and adds, "We need to stop that turbo laser, don't we?" Tal: "Is there any way we can jam those comms so that they can't get that message off? Or are we too late?" Tal asks, knowing personally the kind of damage a Star Destroyer can rain down from orbit. Images of Concord Dawn flashed in his mind's eye briefly. Willa: "If I had access to a terminal, maybe, but..." she says doubtfully, though she looks around to see if there's anything she can suitably substitute. GM: Willa knows she is unable to do so remotely, but if she can get close enough to the comm array she could either hack it or sabotage it. Rook: "I might be able to fly you where you need to go." Rook eyes the distances to the comm tower and the turbo laser, trying to calculate how long it would take. GM: Everyone can make perception checks. Rook: Glancing over at Dr. Tane and the marvelous IL-0M, She adds, "You two are just full of surprises. that smoke cloud was pure genius." Venn: "Blueberry's got some of that techno-whizz knowhow, too, so two minds...etc. etc.." she said as they discussed jamming communications.

Janix: "I think stopping the communications to the horrific death machine sounds like a good plan," looking in the direction Willa is pointing. Willa: "On it!" she says, and starts towards them. Tal: "Follow me. I can see a route that'll let us sneak up on the technicians. Be prepared everyone." Willa: ...but stops when Tal speaks up, and falls in line behind him instead Venn: "Well aren't you a wiley one." she says, half-teasing to Tal. GM: The Hellions are proficient enough that dealing with the technicians are more of a matter of method rather than variability, so they can choose how they handle them and focus on the more important task of how to deal with the array. Janix: "Excellent." Rifle in her arms, Janix falls in with Tal. Rook: Rook falls in as well, still so hyped by the AT-AT that she has to mind her breathing. but every now and then, her hands move as if reliving the shot that took out the AT-ST. Tal: Tal will simply grab one by the throat, hoist him off the ground, and suggest that surrendering quietly is better than a messy death. GM: Tal roll a Coercion check. Tal: He'll let Willa/Ashley/others get to work on the major task of the array. Janix: Janix will assist by standing nearby and being _menacing_, rifle drawn and ready to draw. Willa: Willa takes a moment to Overcharge her implant while Janix gets her glare on. She then draws a breathe and sits down, approaching the array with an air of cautious determination.

GM: The smell of urine comes strongly from the technicians as they run upwind. Rook: "Who knew it was possible to be too terrifying?" GM: Venn can pick up another communique to a guard post from one of the troops, saying they have some Nazren rioters requesting for reinforcements. Janix: "If I were them, I'd run away from you too," Janix jokes as she lowers her rifle.

Venn: She holds up the comlink and cants her head. "They are looking to get reinforcements to deal with some of the Nazren, it sounds like." Rook: "I feel like we should answer that plea for help ..." Willa: Surrounded by Ashley's calm confidence and Rook's exuberantly positive energy, Willa finds the array opening up to her easily. She not only prevents the communique from reaching the Destroyer in orbit, but she cloaks the interruption so that the sender is unaware of it. She then begins to funnel intel to Tvastar and the others about troop movements to help advance the fight. "Done," she says, when all was finished. "Where to now?" she asked, spinning on her seat to look at the others. Tal: "Great work. Let's see if we can do something about the turbolaser and keep it from blasting away? Or hit the streets?" GM: The turbolasers are coming from the mountain fortress, definitely higher up than where you are now. The location you were to find Sartok is deeper in the city, where as the location requesting reinforcements against the Nazren fighters is another part of the city. Rook: "Well done, Willa!" Rook nodded to Tal. "Is there a team going for the cannon? or should we collelct forces here and then head up? I could rush the cannon, maybe get willa there, but I'm not sure what kind of defenses it has." Tal: Tal thinks a moment. "Let's do what we came to do. Find Sartok and help him." he said. Venn: *"Requesting reinforcements means they are likely near defeat in that area." Janix: From the vantage, she saw the state of some of the locals. "They are probably in need more than the Mandos." Rook: "Can we angle our approach to Sartok such that we'd intercept the planned reinforcements?" Doctor Rafan Tane: "Why don't you get on the comm and use that Imperial accent of yours to tell them the guard post not to send reinforcements?" Rook: Rook laughs aloud. "that sounds brilliant. Why didn't I think of that?" Willa: "Because you were still daydreaming about your joyride in the walker, I bet," Willa teased as she hopped down. "We should get going!" Janix: "Let's help the locals and surprise the First Order. Double the trouble." Rook: Rook laughed, and clapped Willa upon the shoulder. "INDEED!" more quiely she adds, "I have wanted to do that my whole life. I can't wait to tell everyone!" Venn: The acerbic expression Venn would give Tane is otherwise shielded from his view. "I'll keep that in mind." Doctor Rafan Tane: "Mm, you do that." Tal: "Then let's move." And Tal will head out with the others. Willa: As the group begins to move, Willa leans over and whispers to Rook. Rook: Turning to Venn, Rook will ask, " ARen't you going to stop them?" GM: The Hellions proceed forward. A few minutes pass as you duck turbolaser fire that ruins ancient and newer structures. Your foot steps move across broken concrete and turned-up debris. A Nazren with serious battle wounds comes stumbling out of a plumb of smoke. Upon seeing you, she rushes up, pointed to a rubble-choked street behind her. "The First Order have set up a new checkpoint, with heavy weapons guarding it! One of the buildings has the anti-aircraft weapons we've been working on getting set up. We can't break through, and it' Rook: Whatever Willa whispered had Rook pause a moment, then she whispered back. GM: it's preventing our two largest groups from connecting and taking control of this section of the city!" Through the smoke, you see flashes of heavy blaster fire and hear more Nazren running from a fight that seems to be too much for them. Willa: Willa gives Rook an "Oh!" face and gives a thumbs up before turning to focus on the fighting. Tal: "Get to safety! We're on our way there." Tal told the Nazren. Meanwhile, he will search for cover in which to lead the group where they might get a better view of the situation. Rook: Rook listened intently, then offered a stim-pack to the wounded soldier, though she'll catch willa's eye and be sure its ok first. Janix: Janix ignores the kids whispering, but she knew the duo would be trouble for sure. Willa: The plight of the Nazren gives her a clear target, and being amped up on having seen success so far, she's eager to engage. But she pauses, looking to the Hellions to follow their lead before she makes a move. Janix: As they approach, Janix will kneel and sight down her rifle, assessing. Rook: "Let's go!" ((would a knowledge warfare check help us approach effectively???)) GM: Finding a wide street, littered with abandoned crates and broken-down speeders, you see what was once a thriving street reduced to ash and ruin. Ahead of you, the towering figure of an AT-ST stomps about, firing shots from its chin-cannons at distant targets, or aiming skyward at passing by aircraft. Around it are two AT-RT 1-man walker units, and several groups of stormtroopers. You are not yet spotted. There's a burnt out ruin of a building ahead of you, where you see three Trandoshans upon the roof setting up a comm unit.

Tal: "Heh, you got a point." he said. Willa: "It won't be as effective as a Five, admittedly, but a girl's gotta feel of use, you know?" she teased, with a wink. Rook: "Does anyone have any weapons that will take out the AT-ST, or do we need to commandeer it?" Venn: "Use your 'jump boots'." she remarks to Tal with the ping of an elbow to his side. "Grenade is going to call attention, so be ready." Willa: "Want me to wait?" she says, pausing at Venn's comment. Janix: "No," Janix says viciously. "Surprise them." Willa: "On it."

Venn: "Still planning on going up there?" she says, ribbing Tal. Janix: Janix fires at the Sergeant that is furthest away. Tal: "Nah, I'm good. That looks pretty wrapped up." he said.

First Order Sergeant: "Prepare for battle men, we'll take on these dogs who threaten the First Or.." He pauses as he turns to look over at his troops and finds them fleeing.

"Hey there, beautiful." He winks to the Hapan Commando in the cheesiest of fashions. Willa: "Only a couple. I was thinking of saving them for the walkers?" she said, her tone suggesting she was seeking Two's input. GM: Meanwhile the two AT-RT's move forward. One shooting at Janix. The other walks around the building, heading toward Tal. Venn: "I think our Mandalorian has some of that in hand..."

Episode 6, Chapter 4, Session 100 - Insurgency GM: The Hellions have been brought to the near-mythical city of Balak-To, meeting with a group of Mandalorians who follow a man named Tvastar Ordo. While referred to the locals and the First Order as "The Protector", the Mandalorian leader has brought a group of his people to the city to follow ancient traditions now lost to the Mandalorians. After beseeching him for aid, the Hellions have convinced Tvastar to bring his people into the fight against the First Order - on condition that he not share their identities. After a full night of rest, all of you have regained all of your strain and 1 wound. You are brought to a conference chamber in the old city where a map of Nizon and Ahdjok are drawn out. Tvastar is there, as well as the other Mandalorians. Though the entire fighting force is not present, Rook sees a number of different Clans represented in the armors of the people gathered in what looks to have been an old theater made out of stone. In the background the sounds of preparations are heard of the machines of war being readied for a fight. Janix: Donning her armor, Janix spends a few extra moments to assure everything is just right. Once ready, she joins the rest of the team, including Willa if the Twi'lek tries to walk by, Doctor Rafan Tane: Doctor Tane and IL-0M are at the audience chamber, though Tane looks somewhat uncomfortable with all of the Mandalorians looking at him and his droid. He had checked out various parts of the city after Tvastar had broken from the group for the tour, and had come into the barracks late in the night to sleep. Dice System: The GM flips a Dark Side Destiny Point Dark Side points remaining 3 New Light Side total 6 Dice System: The GM flips a Dark Side Destiny Point Dark Side points remaining 2 New Light Side total 7 Willa: Willa was caught a little off guard by Janix's quiet insistence that she walk with the group, but she rolled with it, both anxious and excited about the coming talks. Beside her, Nines rolled at a merry clip, a bit shinier now because of the oil bath Willa had occupied herself with the night prior. Venn: With the assumption that her communication efforts went off fine the day prior (with Ashley's assistance in making sure anti-surveillance was handled), Venn does little else of major note until the call to briefing. She finds it remarkable how quickly this subterranean 'lost' city can begin mobilizing for battle. The logistics of how this place even existed continued to be a mystery, though that was no doubt its strength. The large theatre chamber drew her gaze every which way. Architecture was not one of her main concerns, but she could not help but take in the ancient structure around her as she moved to position. GM: What did Venn communicate, exactly? Willa: "This place is unreal," she said as she moved into the theater, speaking more to herself than anyone nearby. Venn: Venn would assist the Blueberry in that. Ashley: Ashley had to take time to actually get his back checked out, though mostly that involved a lot of twisting--and ow--to get it taken care of. A night of rest, liberal use of a stimpack, and he could actually roll his shoulders without feeling as if they were on fire along with the rest of his back. Well, that and handling some communication things for Venn. Which was, in all honest, a nice change of pace from having dealt with mutated beasts that wanted to claw them to death. ... the next day, though, he was at least looking better and less like he had just gotten mauled as he moves with the rest of the group. Janix: She looked around, having gone on the tour to learn more about the ancient civilization. A couple of her sisters and nieces would have loved it more than she but it was fascinating. "It makes one feel small, against the weight of time, but awestruck all the same." Janix says to Willa as she waits for the team.

She gave each of the Hellions a bright smile and a waggle of her fingers as they arrived. GM: The messages that are sent from the Mandalorian city are encoded and protected. Ashley is confident no-one but Sartok and the Rivener receive the messages. Venn: She will send word to Sartok that they made contact and brokered the allegiance. She will just send Riprock a general missive that innocuously says team sitrep is A-Ok Captain Riprock: Riprock will inquire if they found the target and if they need assistance or extraction. Venn: She would reply "Sit tight. Today will be eventful." Captain Riprock: "What does that mean?" Rook: the tour, learning some of her people's past, even exploring the different paths their people took (both what made them same, and what made them different) kept Rook out quite late. Why Dr. Tane had not joined the tour worried at the back of her mind. She arrived on time for the briefing, armor polished and repaired. Moving to Dr. Tane's side, she spoke quietly enough not to be overhead. "Are you alright?" Venn: "It means that be ready for a sudden call. Things are going to get hot here with the locals." Doctor Rafan Tane: "Mm? Me? Oh, I'm better than alright. This is a nigh-magical moment.." Tane looked around with a bright smile. "The city really is a wonder to behold, isn't it? It's everything I said it would be." Captain Riprock: "Venn...." The grouch in the Captain's voice indicated quite clearly he didn't like the sound of this obtuse message. Janix: Once Rook arrives, Janix greets the Mando with a clap to her shoulder. Helmet in one hand, she looks to the engineer-warrior. "You ready?" She includes Tane but she's looking to the Mando in a mythical place. It had to mean a lot to the woman. Rook: A soft laugh of agreement came from Rook. "I've dreamed of discovering only a fraction of this knowledge all of my life." Her gaze lifted to study the ancient theater. "It is, indeed." Focusing on Dr. Tane once more, she asked, "There are many Clans represented here. it might be a good place to start looking for your people." Venn: "We're with friendlies. Don't worry. If we need you to come running, you'll know." she sends to the Captain. Captain Riprock: "I'll make sure the ship's ready." Riprock replies. "Be careful." Doctor Rafan Tane: "I will." Tane says with a nod, an exhalation of breath lined with adrenaline. "After this is all done." Rook: Rook clasped Jannix's arm, and shook her head. "I am not ready. I could never be ready for this. If i had managed to learn one tiny spec of knowledge that this place contains, I would have been legend in my Clan." Her grin grew fierce and bright, and she nodded to Tvastar. "His name will be remembered forever." Willa: Willa glanced at Rook, and then looked across to Tvastar, considering what his efforts here meant to the larger Mando culture. Venn: "You too." she says before ending that communique and confirming with Ashley they were okay before they both left that room. And onto the next day... Janix: There was a soft smile and Janix understood. "I hope you get that chance but don't forget your own heroics." Tal: Tal had fallen behind to look over something else of interest during the tour. He caught up with the others but remained quiet while they took in everything. Rook: Rook clasped Dr. Tane upon the back, mindful he was not in full armor. "It's so hard to wait." But they had to; they had to stop the First Order, kill a scientist, find work for her Clan ... her eyes shadowed, thinking of how much was at stake. Willa: "Are some of the Nazren meeting us here?" she asked, looking aside to the Hellions nearby. Rook: Rook took a moment to study IL-0M, feeling guilty she'd not done more for the little guy after the tour! "Hey, IL-0M, you need more work are you good?" The Unit had excellent repair subroutines. GM: "This Unit is functioning adequately. It will be prepared for the coming conflict." Rook: Rook grinned over at Willa. "I hope so, but I don't know. I think we can talk to them through holo if they didn't come! NInes looks great, willa!" Willa: Nines chirps happily and turns in place at Rook's comment. Willa pats his dome. "He cleans up nice," she agreed, her gaze sweeping back over the gathering, trying to determine if there was a holoprojector being used, or if there seemed to be any natives present. Rook: Rook touched the floating droid gently, and reminded it, "It's going to be quite the fight, my friend." "try not to get hurt!" Janix: It was so strange still how her teammates liked to talk to Droids like they had feelings. Janix kept her gaze blank and nodded a greeting to Tal instead of giving any further encouragement to Rook or Willa. Tvastar Ordo: A loud gong sound fills the amphitheater, and the numerous voices of Mandalorians speaking to one another quiet. Even the sounds of preparations for battle come to a halt. Tvastar looked around to the assembled company. There were around two hundred Mandalorians, but his armor shone through like a pearl in the dark. "Many of you came to this world seeking for something. Our homeworld is practically lost - ruined by the Empire, and what remains is but the broken remains of a people." Tvastar lifted his right hand and swept it through the air toward the assembled. "Many of us were broken as well. Some had lost families. Others, part of their bodies. Some, just their spirit. I know - for when I first came to Balak-To, I had lost all three." Rook: Ashley looked much better, too, though he was also very quiet lately. being eaten by a scorpion could do that to a man. Tvastar Ordo: "We have worked hard these last twenty years to reclaim our heritage. To make this city - a place holy and revered to our Ancestors - our home." Tal: Tal walked over to Janix. "Hey, that was a damn fine move you pulled out there in the desert. Didn't get to say so earlier." he said. Once Tvastar started speaking, Tal went quiet and just looked at the sheer number of Mandalorians in Balak-To. Tvastar Ordo: "But our home is not a place apart. It resides on a world filled with an honorable people. A people who have been brutalized by the very ones who destroyed our home world and robbed us of our spirit." Willa: Willa's intended greeting to Five was cut short by the gong. She stilled and turned her attention to Tvastar, listening with rapt attention while he addressed hispeople. Tvastar Ordo: "Some of us had forgotten that." Tvastar nodded and gestured to the Hellions. "But we have been reminded of the truth." Janix: With a grin, Janix gives Tal the same sort of greeting she gave Rook and clasped his shoulder. "I've had to work to try to keep up with what I've seen you do with Vibroweapons and hands alike." While grusome, she still recalled the time Tal had ripped a person apart with his bare hands. As Tvastar stared, Janix quieted truly. Ashley: Ashley was mostly quiet, there was more on his mind than ever, and he spared Rook a quick--if somber--grin before his focus turned where it needed to be. Tvastar Ordo: He looked out to the assembled. "It is not our way to hide. There is no glory to jealously sit and protect our home, while those around us suffer. We are of Mandalore, the First, who blazed battles across the stars against insurmountable foes and conquered them all. And we will stand now and fight." Rook: Rook watched the living legend speak, utterly still. memorizing this moment, for this, too, was history. this was the change for her people Venn had somehow known needed to come. Willa: A slow but bright smile crept onto Willa's lips as she listened, just as caught up in the speech as the people being addressed. Tvastar Ordo: "The enemy is stronger than us. Their army here is better equipped, more numerous. But they are just a shadow of the Empire, and we are the true heirs of the very legacy we stand surrounded by." He smashed his fist into his chestplate, and the sound was similar to the sound of the gong. "We are the True Beskar." There was a loud sound - the Mandalorians shouting agreement in their native tongue, the swell of it giving Rook and Tal a stirring of feeling. They gain a boost on their next roll. "I welcome our friends, those who have come strangers, now honored guests, to stand by us and beside us in the battle against the First Order." He gestured to the Hellions (and Willa) and motioned for them to approach him at the strategic table. "Let us prepare, together." Venn: Venn murmurs quietly to Tal in some jest, watching the boisterous on-goings with this spirited meeting. "Someone is going to have to get Three to up her briefing game." Rook: Tears glimmered in her eyes, but her pride was intact for they could not be seen by others. Yet those who knew, would know. Her own voice was but a whisper, a speck of praise, as it joined the tumult around them. Rook moved to join him when invited. Tal: "Three's no slouch whatsoever...but I think Tvastar would make her want to punch out someone." he said. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane made a motion of looking around, then gesturing to himself with a 'who, me?' look. Then he steps forward with Il-0M floating after. Janix: There was a smile as Janix put on her helmet and tightened her gauntlets. As she passes by Ashley and Willa, she puts hand on their shoulder in greeting and solidarity. As she gets to Venn, she pauses, but after a moment does the same. "We're in this together and we know each other. Stick together as a team and we'll be stronger for it." Tal: Tal had never been more ready to fight in in his life. He was ready to drive the First Order away from this planet, this system, and into Wild Space if need be! Willa: Willa was slow to begin moving, waiting for the others to head over first. Janix's touch on her shoulder felt like a summons, and she smiled and let it prompt her to move. Tvastar Ordo: "All of you know what to do." He calls out to the rest of the Mandalorians. "Prepare yourselves for battle, and for glory!" They let out another chant in their native tongue and begin to head to their vehicles. Willa: Willa approached the map, and eyed the Nazren city with a thoughtful air. She glanced over her shoulder at the call and response, and couldn't help but grin at the energy in the room. Tvastar Ordo: Tvastar then turns his attention back to the Hellions. "I did not speak lightly - even with the help of the Nazren rising up, our fight will be a difficult one." He gestured to the map. "There is a large Imperial Garrison on the lower part of the mountain, another one on the upper, and from what my scouts have said, a large amount of construction on the highest parts of the mountain - a veritable fortress." "We have two hundred Mandalorians, there are at least two thousand First Order troops in the city." Ashley: Ashley moved with purpose, the speech was inspiring after all, and briefly watched as the Mandalorians all began to head out. It was something reassuring to see, especially in light of all that had happened in the past (considering Rook's Clan and what they had dealt with). His attention turned towards the map, listening as Tvastar spoke and outlined things. Venn: "But you lot have the mobility and they can't defend everywhere at once. Also do not count out the Nazren and their allies." Tvastar Ordo: "Yes, it is how I intend to bring the fight to them." Rook: "We have some people who can mess with their defenses, maybe plant some bombs to sew confusion. would it be worth a delay to get those people in place? Tvastar Ordo: "If you feel that it could be beneficial and you can do so without being noticed, I would be all for it. But if you are discovered, our element of surprise is lost. As it is, the First Order is on alert after the Prison Camp uprising." Warfare Willa Dice Roll (Boost Blank) (Ability Blank) (Ability Success + Advantage) (Ability Blank) (Ability Advantage) (Proficiency Success) (Difficulty Failure) (Difficulty Failure x2) (Difficulty Threat) Results (Failure) (Advantage) Rook: Rook looked at Venn, Willa and Ashley, head angled to invite their thoughts. Tvastar Ordo: "My scouts have reports that there are a squadron of brand new AT-STs and at least three AT-ATs in the lower valley. The enemy also has a squadron of TIE Fighters and air-superiority TIE Strikers." Tvastar Ordo: "However.." Tvastar nodded. "We are not without our own resources." Willa: Willa laced her fingers and tapped them against her lips, clearly thinking while she studied the map. Janix: While her people had not fought the Empire like many, she had seen holovids about those machines. This was not going to be easy. With a frown, she looked at the map, wondering what they could do.

Just for this city? That sounds like... overkill. A defeat here for them would be beyond costly... that might make them fight even harder top keep it." Tvastar Ordo: "We have six Fang Fighters, a U-Wing, Clone Wars era Troop Transports, and two squadrons of Basilisk War Droids. In addition, I have several squadrons of Mandalorians with Z6 Jetpacks with missile launchers." Tal: Tal looked over the battle plans, seeking a path to victory with the forces arrayed against them. "Those AT-ATs are going to be a major problem." he said, looking everything ovder. Ashley: Ashley's attention was on the map, studying the locations and everything that was already displayed. The knowledge of the AT-ATs (and the AT-STs, quite frankly), made him frown. It was a problem they were going to have to deal with. Tal: *over Willa: "Where is command? Is there a known station in the valley, or is the assumption that orders are coming from up the mountain?" Rook: Rook patted her own beautiful, salvaged jet pack. "I have one missile here. my wrist rockets would have trouble getting through vehicle armor. If I had some mines to clamp on, I might be able to cause quite a bit of damage." Tvastar Ordo: "I do not know all of your capabilities - save that you are capable warriors. So I will need your counsel on how best to utilize your talents." "I assume that command of the forces are either from the mountain fortress or the garrison." Venn: "Only if they get to the city range." she responds to Tal. "And we both know paint dries faster than they move one kilometer." Venn: "It seems to me that our best bet is to disrupt their coordination." Tal: "We could take the command center and...yeah, disrupt their coordination." he said. Willa: "Messing up their chain of command could cause some helpful chaos," she agreed with a nod. Tal: "Stormtroopers aren't trained to readily assume command after losing leaders." he said. Willa: "It'll be heavily defended, but the Nazren know this area well. Maybe they could cause enough of a distraction to draw away the bulk of the grunts without sacrificing too many of their number." Tvastar Ordo: "Are you saying that your small group could take out the Command Center?" Tvastar sounded convinced. "There'd be at least a hundred Stormtroopers there. If not more." Venn: "It just needs to be disabled." Ashley: "Disrupt their coordination, hinder their communications ..." Ashley looked over at Venn and nodded in agreement to her response to Tvastar. Willa: "That's alot of helmets to cut through to disable it, though, Tvastar's right," she said. Tvastar Ordo: Tvastar lifted a hand and cupped his helmeted chin in thought. "I have an alternative suggestion." Rook: Rook considered Tvastar for a moment, looked over the hellions, trying to find a way to meaningfully summarize their abilities. She grinned at Tvastar. "we can take it." she assured him. "Once that is done, I think ... we should also be the ones to deal with the AT-ATs-" though she cut herself off at Tvastar's lifted hand. Tvastar Ordo: "What if I bring the majority of my forces against the Command Center. That should draw fire away - where as you, and a smaller force, assail the bridge and the main entranceway to the city." Rook: Rook considered his plan, studying the map of the city. Tvastar Ordo: "That way they lose their best defensible position and can't reinforce the lower city." Venn: "Putting them on the backfoot in another way, sure. I can see it." "Imperials are generally are not adept at improvising." Janix: "A choke point as well. Seems like a defensible position for us." And Janix could see far enough to get off pot shots with her target rifle as well. Willa: "You guys talk like you've fought them alot," she observed, softly, eyeing the group. Tvastar Ordo: "Once we have a beachead, we'll be able to regroup and make another push. By then Sartok's insurgency will have grown through the upper city, and we can shift to smaller groups and our jetpacks will prove a much stronger advantage." "Are any of you pilots? Have command experience?" He looked to the assembled. "Do you have a vessel that could be brought to the fight?" Ashley: "This isn't the first time we've fought against such a large force," said Ashley softly to Willa, mostly since his focus was on the map. At Tvastar's inquiry about piloting. "I'm a pilot." The vessel answer, however, he left to someone else. Tvastar Ordo: "Only a few of my people are skilled at piloting the ships we have in my disposal. Your assistance would be invaluable. You could have your choice on which craft to pilot." Willa: "Where is their air force grounded? Here or up on the mountain?" she asked, gesturing to the command center in question. Rook: "I'll need to build or buy some missiles and grenades. " Rook looked at Tvastar. "I'm a pilot; I'd rather use my jetpack but I can fly. I've been learning from three, but I am not yet more than a field commander." she paused to translate her own Clan's ways to something more standard. "Small groups." (Rook has two leadership things from Mercneary and has purchased Mandalorian Commander but has not yet gone into the tree.) Tvastar Ordo: "I believe it's further up on the mountain." Willa: "Hrmm," she mused with a soft frown. "Man, it would feel good to sneak in and blow up their fighters before we even get started." Venn: "No AA canons to worry about for the airborne?" Tvastar Ordo: Tvastar placed a hand on Rook's shoulder. "I will let you use one of our Basilisks, Rook. It is one of the ships of our people." "There are. But I plan to keep them busy. There is one at the gate which will need to be prioritized." Willa: "Were you suggesting taking out the bridge, or just setting up a blockade?" Tvastar Ordo: "Taking out the First Order forces at the bridge and taking control of it." Rook: Rook froze when Tvastar offered her a Basilisk to fly. Her breath just stopped, as she stared at him. Venn: "If successful at the Bridge, then what?" Tvastar Ordo: "We regroup and plan our next move. I think it is unwise to plan too far ahead, just yet." "We will not take long to do so, probably a few minutes." Venn: "Wise words." Tvastar Ordo: "Alright then, we should probably get to our vessels. I'll see all of you at the bridge." Tvastar nodded to the assembled, then to his two lieutenants. "See that no-one gives them any trouble to getting to their ships." Rook: Rook turns to Venn, saying quietly, "Did they fix our ship? having that back up could make the difference." GM: Type in chat what vehicle you will be flying (if any) 1 - Basilisk War Droid (Pilot Planetary) 2 - Fang Fighter (Pilot Space) 3 - U-Wing (Pilot Space) 4 - Not flying a ship. Rook: Rook - 1 EEEEEE so excited. Tal: 4 Janix: 4 Venn: 4 GM: Tal, Janix, Doctor Tane, IL-0M, and Venn will be in the U-Wing. Ashley: 2 (i think, LOL) Willa: 3 den GM: In the early morning the Mandalorians and Hellions leave behind Balak-To, flying through the mountains and the expanse of the desert toward Ahdjok, the Nazren capital. While proximity alarms tell the First Order of the upcoming assault, the Mandalorians nonetheless gain a surprise in their attack.

While the First Order soldiers had considered themselves somewhat idyllic in their "easy" post, they appeared to have been on alert thanks to the recent attack at the Prison Camp. While the Mandalorians do not suffer significant losses, neither do the First Order - and they are now fully aware of the danger they are presented with. At the same time, Sartok's forces rise up throughout the city, initiating riots and attacking First Order forces. Because of the added chaos and support, the rebel forces gain an additional proficiency die. But the chaos is not all beneficial, as the First Order are resolved to not lose this outpost - and the next Mass Combat check suffers a setback die. The Hellions, on the U-Wing, feel buffeted about by anti-flying flak cannons. Around them, TIE Fighters engage in frantic combat with the Fang Fighters and Basilisk War Droids. Both Ashley and Rook find themselves in dogfighting over the ground of Nizon.

She calls out to them, "Remember those guns won't do much against heavy enemy armor. Probably would shred infantry, though." Tal: "Got it! Infantry shredding it is." he said. Janix: Janix nods and yells "We'll see which of us can take out more of the infantry!" Ashley: "Not sure what's going on," relays Ashley, taking notice of the reinforcements, "but they're reinforcing the bridge." Despite the fact, you know, the Mandalorians were not striking the garrison. Rook: Her small group swooped down into the opening Rook had seen, but it was not enough ... The AT-ATs were too large, and too heavily armored. Realizing they were not going to achieve their goal, Rook reversed her own ship to draw fire from the AT-ATs to herself, saving her small squad. Willa: Willa watched with concern while the Mandalorian troops below seemed to make slower progress than she'd expected. The First Order troopers were vehemently standing their ground, it seemed. "This is normal, right? Guys?" she called back to those in the ship with her, hoping the experience they'd spoken of would be enough to turn the tide. GM: While Tvastar's Mandalorians assault the garrison, and Rook is able to provide an opening for her troops, the group quickly realize that the enemy force is just too large to easily be taken down. Approaching the bridge, they come under heavy fire as an AT-AT and a pair of AT-ST's seem to get wise to your tactic, and move to reinforce the entranceway to the upper city. Beetween you and the bridge you see two towering structures that are ancient and made of white and gold marble. Behind the natural defense, a heavy FLAK turret fires at any vessel trying to pass. It will definitely need to be destroyed to advance further into the city. Venn: Ashley's communications has Venn muse aloud to the others in the U-Wing. "Well, you know what they say. The battle plan rarely survives contact with the enemy." GM: Several Nazren come from the lower city to charge forward at the stormtroopers as the Hellions and their Mandalorian allies approach the bridge - a difficult fight ahead of them, but a desperately needed victory to free Nizon!

GM: A dogfight takes place over the bridge with the Tie Striker delivers a couple blasts into the back of Ashley's fighter, setting it aflame. He spins and delivers a quick shot back, that strikes its power systems. Alarms ring in Ashley's cockpit, his ship warning that it's about to be destroyed! Ashley: Ashley was flying fast but the dog-fight with the Tie-Fighter was getting serious. Even as he took serious damage, knowing that he was going to have to pull back to try and recover, he managed to fire at the Tie-Fighter and land a critical hit. "... might need to pull back for a moment!" calls Ashley. "Took some heavy damage!" Rook: Shatter Missiles Rook B.

I'm gonna have to put her down or she's gonna come apart!" Tal: "DO IT!" Willa: "You know... since we're putting her down anyway..." "You guys don't mind a little freejumping, right?" Ashley: Ashley has to work quick, trying to put out some of the fires and otherwise going on within the Fang Fighter. After some work--calling upon the visions provided to him by Weswin's Insight--Ashley is able to repair some of the damage. After that, it's a matter of Evasive Manuevers to try and keep himself in the air and find some place safer to be. GM: The Tie-Fighter screams through the air, blasting into the U-Wing and nearly destroying it, but as it screams by Tal fires a parting shot with the rotary repeating blaster, knocking out its weapons. Janix: Already unstrapping, Janix looks at the team. "Better than exploding, that's for sure!" Ashley: To probably land because the Fang Fighter is clearly not going to win in an upclose and personal fight with all this firepower. GM: The Tie Fighter veers off, heading back to base. The AT-ST fires up at another group of Mandalorians.

GM: The grenade explodes and takes out the last two Mandos of that already reduced squad, sending their carcasses flaming toward the earth. Venn: The smoke from the troop carrier trails behind it as evasive maneuvers are taken. The cacophony of battle rages about as war begins in full. Venn taps the side of her head, the the panels of her visormask sliding and folding to cover her features. She scratches out of her vocoder through the whipping wind. "Do sing song songs about my deeds, Fives." she says and then braces against the frame of the open side door by Tal. She waits for the angle that is favorable to her, then the masked woman jumps out without another word. She will hold all her limps angled back as her cape flutters behind he. She has had an anti-grav chute for two years... its about time she used it. Tal: "What the kriff?" He watches Venn leap from the ship, eyes wide behind his mask. He's seen her do this before, many times. It does not make it any less insane to watch. Venn: She extends her cape like batman as she nears her destination, activating her anti-grav belt, directing her descent to land on its head. A heavy thump has her land on the head of the monstrosity... she presses her hands into the metal as it is still oblivious. %u2734 Powerful Ally Use Requires spending 1 Destiny Point.

Tane jumps out of the side of the U-Wing, giving Tal a salute as he falls and clicks his heels together. His rocket boots activate and he flies toward the giant statues. Willa: "AM I THE ONLY ONE WITHOUT THOSE?" GM: IL-0M makes a sound and flies after Tane. Tal: "....I don't have those." Tal grudgingly admits. Janix: "Nor I," Janix adds.

She channels and redirects the the chaos around her through the Force. It pours into her and through her hands, into the cabin, exciting the very molecules of the air within. Control panels and such starts to spark as components corrode. Those inside feel it a moment later.... Venn can hear coughing from within the AT-ST's cockpit. Someone inside shouts: "Turn on the anti-containment systems!" Dice System: The GM flips a Dark Side Destiny Point Dark Side points remaining 6 New Light Side total 3 GM: There is a whooshing sound of sucking air beneath her, like a vacuum had been turned on. Moments later the gas is expelled out from beneath the AT-AT. Ashley: ... well, that happened, thought Ashley. Except that everything going on, with all the craziness, really did seem par the course.

Tal: Tal relinquishes control of the gunner's turret. He will leave the turret, grab his weapons, and head for the nearest exit.

Slowed enough, the pair lands with a jarring but safe landing, the Hapan almost kneeling as she absorbs some of the impact (and reduced some with her Biotics). She lets Willa down as she looks up at the Droid. "Huh, rockets huh?" She assumed it'd be easier to put it together later after it crashed and didn't explode. Rook: Shatter Missiles Rook B.

Beneath her mask, her lip curls in a snarl of annoyance at the hardiness of occupants of the cabin. The aft section of the ATAT had a gunner seat which was likely easier to infiltrate. It would likely mean a longer trip and more troops inside to contend with on the way to those at the cockpit controls. She will try to pull a Cal Kestis and enter via the aft gunner station.

Venn: She will quickdraw her saber then before her turn ends if she sees that! Ashley: Taking note of the other AT-ST, Ashley knows that the Fang Fighter is on its last legs. He firess the proton torpedoes at it, watching as they hit the AT-ST hard. However, it leaves him open for another attack; the Tie Striker hitting the side of his ship. Warning alarms continually go off, Ashley barely able to hear them past the noise as he is summarily ejected from the ship and into the air. ... at least he was still alive but that ship he had used was definitely destroyed.

"... can't say it wasn't fun while it lasted," mutters Ashley. His hand rested on his bag, resisting the urge to pull out his lightsabers.

Will the attack succeed? And what of Kesvo? Janix: Janix leaps forward with her Biotics, rushes the last of the way and lets herself go.

Episode 6, Chapter 4, Session 99 - Insurgency GM: The Hellions have finished resting for the night in the caves beneath Ahdjok after agreeing to help Sartok and his people. With the help of Willa, they find a speeder that can ferry all of them. It's something akin to an old rusty van, but the AC still works and the crew can at least be comfortable in it. Rook and Doctor Tane are able to repair IL-0M enough to be functional, though he's still somewhat damaged. Everyone recovers all of their strain from a night's rest and 1 wound. Willa receives a written message to meet with the rest of the Ruffians out in the Badlands. She receives a transponder message that gives coordinates. Dice System: The GM flips a Dark Side Destiny Point Dark Side points remaining 6 New Light Side total 3 Dice System: The GM flips a Dark Side Destiny Point Dark Side points remaining 5 New Light Side total 4 Willa: Willa spends much of the night completely scrubbing and rewriting the programming of the cyberdogs she 'acquired' from the prison. She found one of Sartek's people who was at least middling comfortable with tech, and walked them through the programs and how the dogs could be used to defend their base. The next morning she led the "research team" to the speeder. The messenger was a surprise, and she seemed to deflate a little while reading it. "Welp," she sighed, tucking the note away. "So much for not running into them," she murmured. "I have to meet my guys," she told the Hellions. "Do you wanna ride with? Or is there somewhere else you want me to take you first?" Rook: Rook settled into her seat, watching Willa's demeanor. the news that she was asked to meet up with her team was unsettling. Her gaze swept over the Hellions, wondering how they would react, before settling once more upon Willa. Tal: Gil checks over his armor and weapons before sleeping that evening. In the morning, he wakes and dresses quickly. He wants to get moving as quickly as possible in the hopes of finding the Protector and his people. Janix: Though the night is quiet Janix still takes a turn at watch. Habit after all. As they head towards the older but functional speeder, Janix looks at the younger girl and the note. With a bit of a frown, she looked at Willa given the change of attitude. "We'll stick with you kid." Her rifle across her lap, Janix settles into the speeder with a obvious hint of malice though not directed at Willa or the team. Willa: "Hooookay," Willa says, before nodding to Nines to hop in. The R2 unit attaches itself to a clamp on the side of the speeder, obviously used to this arrangement. "Everybody hop in, then!" she chirps. "Badlands here we come!" Ashley: Ashley slid into the a seat--which not driving was a nice twist, since he had spent a portion of his night studying the kyber blade and making rounds through Sartek's people--before eventually having a fitful sleep. Really, no more local food for him that was spicy. Tal: Talgil will get into the speeder and ready himself to head into the Badlands. Doctor Rafan Tane: "With any luck, we'll find Balak-To when we find the Protector." Tane says with a grin toward TalGil and Rook. Tal: "Let's hope that the Protector's people don't enjoy migration. Otherwise we could be looking forever and not find them." he said. Venn: Seeing this mode of transportation has Venn long for the Hellrazor for the second time during this little excursion. She wordlessly enters this contraption, drinking what will pass for breakfast from a metal container. Willa: Once everyone was settled, Willa took off. "So I know Four, and I've figured out Five, and of course Dr. Tane," she said, as they went. "What do I call the rest of you?" Janix: "Seven." Janix scoots closer to the window and gazes outwards. Acklays and massive scorpions on her mind. GM: "This Unit is referred to as Eye Ell Zero Em. Many refer to it as Ill-OOM." Janix: She does not use Kesvo's nickname even if it does bring a little twitch of a smile to her face as she thinks of it. Rook: Rook studies IL-0M for a bit, worried for the little droid. When Janix claims the number seven, Rook almost corrects Janix to her real call sign. but those might be head and remembered by enemies, so she refrains. with a grin at Dr. Tane, she adds, "I'm so glad its not some sort of taboo or forbidden location!" Venn: As le grande bitch the is and to mostly no one's surprise, she doesn't throw into ride-a-long small talk/pleasantries at this point. She does, also, peer out a viewport of the craft as she imbibes her drink. GM: The Hellions (And company) move several hours through the Bandlands. The desert proves as inhospitable to the vehicle as it did to its inhabitants as you moved through the dry planet. The sun paints much of the area in a red and yellow landscape with high-rising rockfaces, old machines long dead that reach up toward the clouds, and crashed ships. The sun has an especially reddish hue as you move away from Adhjok, the giant mountain city left behind you. Soon enough you close to the coordinates and receive a proximity alarm. There's another vehicle nearby. Rook: Rook gives a small sigh, then points at Ashley, "One," and then at Venn, "Two." Willa: Willa doesn't press the issue when Venn refrains from answering, but shoots Rook a wink of thanks at the provided answer. Janix: Her rifle in her lap, Janix pulls the weapon up and aims down the sight, looking to see if she can spy the vehicle nearby. Willa: Idle chatter is had for the duration of the drive, unless someone demands otherwise. When they draw near to another craft, Willa sits up and alerts the others. "They should be around here somewhere..." Rook: Rook readies her weapons, hating being in a vehicle for so long with her jet pack on. leaning over towards IL-0M, she says seriously, "no heroics today!" Tal: Five will also ready his bowcaster in case they need to start firing upon exit from the speeder. Dice System: The GM flips a Dark Side Destiny Point Dark Side points remaining 4 New Light Side total 5 Janix: In her helmet, Janix rolls her eyes at Rook's doting on the droid. Willa: When everyone starts readying weapons, Willa laughs a little nervously. "Oookay, guys. Let's stay easy, okay? And, uhm, try to avoid shooting the speeder if you can help it, okay? It's our only ride outta here." GM: Suddenly Willa finds that her speeder is starting to die. She'll have to park it about a kilometre away from the other speeder. Bad motivator, maybe... Willa: "Oh." "Uhhh..." "C'mon, kid," she whispers at the speeder as it starts to slow. "Not now. Not in front of company!" Janix: "I don't plan to shoot this speeder." Janix assures Willa. Willa: "Hey, uh, I'm thinkin' maybe we oughta approach on foot the last few feet," she says, setting the speeder down. "So we don't surprise 'em, you know?" "They're a little paranoid sometimes." Ashley: As the speeder begins to slow, Ashley just raises his eyebrows. Rook: "At the moment we're not planning on shooting anyone." Rook says, a touch of humor in her voice. sitting forward happily at Willa's words, "Sure thing." Venn: A shake her hooded head follows the obvious signs that this ride was over. Willa: Willa hops out with cheerful mien, as though nothing is amiss. Nines joins her, and they begin to lead the way further into the wastes. "They should be right over that ridge." Janix: As she stands and beings to exit. To Rook she jokes, "I rarely plan on shooting but it seems trouble tends to find us." Tal: Five didn't like surprises, either. Still...he didn't want to ruin this for the group. He exited the speeder, his axe on his back and his bowcaster in his hands. Janix: She'll follow, looking around and rifle in a simple carry across her arms. Venn: With the reality of again walking in the harsh sunlight, she dons her visormask before stepping outside. Rook: Rook falls into a two-by-two cover formation by instinct, laughing brightly at Janix's quip. "There is that." Ashley: "... as if we don't generate enough trouble on our own," says Ashley, checking his med-bag and then moving along. GM: The Hellions (and company) get out of the speeder and begin to hoof it. The air is extremely dry, and were it not for your survival gear and preparations, you'd might well find yourself with a bloody nose. As you approach the other vehicle you find it's a large transport vehicle with heavily reinforced armor. A group of Trandoshans are currently shepherding some Nazren into the vehicle's open side bay. At the head of them is a freakishly large (silhouette 2) Trandoshan that looks somewhat mutated. On the other side of the cliffs is another crashed, old starship, half-buried in the sand and dirt. Janix: "See," Janix mutters to Rook as she looks down the sight of her rifle towards the scene. "Trouble." Willa: "Whoa," Willa whispers, as she ducks behind a large rock formation. "Thhhhat's not them," she says, dismayed. Ashley: Honestly, the sight of anything mutated is enough to make Ashley's eyetwitch because ... m e m o r i e s. GM: Suddenly there is a woot and roar, and Willa recognizes a deep voice that shouts out "TIME TO GET PAID!" Rook: Rook surveys the scene, thinking that maybe Willa was before hand worrying about her team .. looks like she should have been worried for them. She nods to Janix, then moves close enough to Willa to talk to her .... GM: All at once blaster-fire rings out from the cliffs above the Trandoshans. Willa: "That's them, though!" she says, startled at the sudden gunfire.

A little awestruck, she taps her forearm and causes a panel to slide back. A few keystrokes cause a discreet electric field to surge to life around her, affording her a bit more protection ((Verpine Armor Maneuver)). Only then does she move up towards some of the fighting. ((+2 Strain to Take Cover.)) She pulls a grenade from her bag and launches it at the trandoshans before her. Janix: The rifle fires and the trigger is sensitive enough she fires again. It doesn't hit and only gets near the Ultimate Hunter. With her own memories of Felucia it's easy to target the large one in hopes of taking it down early.

Rook: Rook soars into the sky, side steps (two strain for 2nd manuever and 3 for upgrades) and studies the terrain around them (Perception?)

Willa: "What the..." Willa murmurs, looking down at the pebbles and then up to the rock. Tal: "Pfassk this planet, man." Tal growled. GM: Willa sees a gigantic Nizon Blade Scorpion crawling down the rockface toward her. Rook: She releases a blast of disruptor fire at the wounded Trandoshan, pleased and secretly suprised that it kills him! Ashley: "This place is something," says Ashley, eyeing the scorpion that's just dropped down to say hello. Janix: "Above you!" Janix calls out, too late to help, as the Scorpion descends.

Janix: "Willa!" Janix shouts as the scorpion attacks. Cursing under her breath, the Hapan readies herself to respond. Afterall, a Commando doesn't leave a man behind.

Tal: Tal slashes the the blade scorpion with his axe, striking true! The axe bites into the creature's hide, but it isn't dead yet! Janix: Janix fiddles with the switch, making sure to vent the heat of the rifle as she looks at the huge monster that healed already. With a glance to WIlla and the Scorpion, seems like a good distraction as her rifle vents heat. GM: While IL-0M and Doctor Tane try to open fire at the Blade Scorpion to relieve some pressure, however their efforts pale in comparison to Tale slashing into the giant scorpion - which is hurt, but what should have been a mortal blow merely seems to draw its attention.

Whether or not she recognizes it, Ashley gets his hands on Willa and calls upon the Force. Perhaps it was a little too much because as he felt it answer, there was a surge of it even as some of Willa's injuries from the scorpion began to heal. Not just Willa would feel the effects but so would others of the Hellions (Tal, Rook, Tane, and Venn). ((aka venn gets healed for that two, tal got all his strain healed, and rook's strain is now gone and so is tane's. also willa gets 8 wounds healed. one pip for activation, four pips for magnitude ... six people in addition. )) Tal: Behind Tal's helmet, his jaw drops as he watches Janix destroy the scorpion's tail with her bare fists. He looks at Janix's fists, then his axe. Then her fists. Then his axe. Tal: "I gotta learn how to do that." he said, staring at the Hapan with a newfound admiration, before returning his attention to the scorpion. Venn: Venn is 1 defense, 1 Take cover, 2 upgrades and Janix: Janix leaps forward, her rifle in her arms. She grunts as she lands as she spins her torso as her leg comes around towards the most dangerous part, the stringer. Her blow lands heavy on the tail as she lands and digs deeper, a crunching noise as the tail disconnects from the Scorpion. A trail of faint blue light can be seen, a testament to the Biotics she used to fuel her action. Venn Parsa %uD53B%uD546%uD53B%uD53E%uD53C%uD54A when she is targeted.

She fumbles with her pack, intent on trying to find a stim, but is interrupted by ashley tugging her out of the open. She doesn't argue, and once she's in the shade of the nearby rock, she does begin to feel much better... Venn: Venn Parsa takes 6 strain damage. Rook: Even soaring through the skies balanced upon a jet engine, Rook feels the rush of power and peace from Ashley, restoring her energy!

"By the Goddess," she swears as she dances back. She knows Tal can pulverize someone with his fists and is preparing to line up a new shot with her cooled down rifle. GM: The giant Trandoshan reaches out, yelling something in its savage tongue as it grabs Ashley and lifts him up off the ground, its talons wrapping heavily around the Pantoran Jedi. Meanwhile the Blade Scorpion slashes at Janix, clawing across her armor before she rapidly moves backward. In the background, the Ruffians and the Trandoshans engage in a firefight, one of the Ruffians being knocked out by the stun-bolts of the slavers. Ashley: "Not. PFASKING. OKAY," says Ashley, who is not okay with this moment at fucking all. Janix: "Blue!" Janix yells as she levels the rifle and starts to aim. It'll take a moment to line up the shot, but she knows she can. Save Ashley. Save Willa. There was an order.

Zharog the Ultimate Hunter: As it grabs its head, Ashley is released, free to land heavily on the ground but on both feet. Janix: It's strange, feeling the power that Venn uses as she motions towards the monster. It yowls in pain as she beings to sight down her rifle.Thankfully it drops Ashley and she gives Venn a short look. She threw everything she had and Janix felt it. That was admirable. Willa: Willa backs away from Venn, some. Ashley: Even without Venn shouting out, Ashley would have known it was her that caused him to be dropped. "Thanks," he calls out, getting his bearings.

Willa: Distracted by the fall of the Ultimate Hunter, Willa almost doesn't see the trando coming up behind her. At the last minute she jerks aside, just barely escaping its swing. "Aah! Hey!" Venn: As the creature, like a horror movie, reaches its hand from the pile like an undying monster.... Venn clenches her teeth and saps its energy until it goes still.

Ashley: "Yeah, no, not doing this," says Ashley, going to grab Willa and get her to safety (because stupid scorpion and it's stupid stinger). Janix: It was nice to see the monster fall. Nevertheless, Janix could feel what Venn did and it reminded her (for a repeated time) that the normally pink haired Witch was quite terrifying. Mephit: "Take that Mando down, Reelo! We're almost done with the Lizards over here!" Reelo: "Mephit, they just took out the giant one!" Rook: There were times when Venn came perilously close to being utterly terrifying. Until Willa called out, Rook had been too focused upon the larger threat to see the other tando close the distance to the Hellions. Ashley: "You're all idiots!" Ashley calls over his shoulder at the people who are still trying to shoot at them. Mirra: "Reelo, pay attention to the mission! Go! Now!" Willa: "SneAKy TRando scUm--" she warbles, unsteady on her feet as she lifts her pistol to try and pay the melee jerk for his swing. But Ashley tugs her back out of range, and she squeaks in surprise but doesn't resist. %u26D3%uFE0F Touch of Fate Activation Incidental Effect Once per session, add Boost Boost to any 1 check.

Ashley: "... multi-tasking is bad," mutters Ashley, who clearly is having trouble with figuring out something the counter to the scorpion's poison. Willa: "I caN heLP yOu..." Ashley: "Yes, hello, I am hurt but you're in worse shape," he replies. GM: Reelo jumps down and starts herding the Nazren slaves into the giant speeder, his rifle urging them onward as the Trandoshans focus on the Hellions who slew their leader.

Rook calls out to the Nazren. GM: As Rook disintegrates another Trandoshan, her call seems to strike some fear and trepidation in the Nazren. Reelo lets out a shout of Kark this as he runs into the vehicle. Behind the Hellions they hear the sounds of approaching jetpacks. Rook: Rook moves to block the kidnapping of the Nazrens, knowing it puts her at risk. She sides steps and spins in the air, (3 strain). Willa: "Oh, hey..." "Jetpacks!" Rook: Rook could hear Kesvo's scold and mentally apologized to the mission-focused, absent leader. GM: Over the air above them (and behind Rook), a squadron of Mandalorians with heavy weapons and armor fly through the air, opening fire on the Trandoshans and Mephit and his crew. Willa: Willa turns and tries to see the source of the sounds. "I bET it'S thE PRotecTOr gUy!" Janix: Janix sighs and sights down her cooling rifle at the noise. The desert was much too busy. Willa: "He'S a liTTLe laTe." Mephit: "Kark this!" Mephit roars as he ducks behind cover. Reelo starts up the large speeder and it hums to life. Rook: Rook can't help a laugh as Mandalorians sweep into the area ... Mephit: Mephit and his crew quickly begin to rush away back toward their own vehicle. Venn: Image Willa: "Ooohhh" She pats Ashley's arm repeatedly. "LOOK!" Tal: "Well then." Tal said, watching as the Mandalorians flew overhead. Willa: "Holykriffthey'reCOOLlookin!" Janix: To Ashley. "Can you keep her quiet?" She asks, fingering the trigger of her rifle. Tvastar Ordo: The lead Mandalorian flies above the others, looking down at the assembled as the speeder takes off. Several Mandalorians fly after it. Ashley: "Yes, yes," says Ashley, sparing a glance, "they're very cool. Can you please speak a little softer, hm?" That's added after Janix says something. Willa: "Oof. Is it dusk already or am I in worse shape than I thought...?" she mutters, quieting. Tvastar Ordo: "My name is Tvastar Ordo." The Mandalorian says to Rook. "And I must ask you all to come with us." GM: More and More Mandalorians soon fly over them, appearing like a swarm. Tvastar Ordo: "I must insist." Venn: "That is... a kriffload of Mandalorians." she says, to the Trandoshan next to her, as if they are suddenly buddies for a moment. Trandoshan Slaver: The Trandoshan lifts its hands up in surrender as it drops its weapon. Janix: Anxiously, Janix looks at Tal and motions to the score of troopers arriving. Rook: Rook nods to him. "Sul'cagar, Warrior. We have wounded that must be looked at before we move." She calls down to Ashley, "can Willa be moved?" Willa: "Ooh, a rifle." Tvastar Ordo: "We will see to them at our camp." Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane drops his weapons and throws his hands up in surrender. Rook: "Thank you." Rook nods. It never occurs to her not to agree since they were out here to find this guy, anyway. Willa: "I like to camp." Tal: The more Mandalorians that arrive, the less Tal likes their chances. He nods. "Let's keep cool. We should follow their lead for the time being." Tal said. Ashley: "... can I get a moment to try and stabilize her? The poison is running rampant through her and I need another moment--" Pauses. "Or along the way? Sure. At the camp, works too." Venn: Venn will secure the lone Trandoshan Slaver with her binders. "Not your lucky day, I reckon, scales." GM: Soon the Mandalorians land, their weapons trained on the Hellions. It is clear this was less of an invitation and more of a demand. Janix: With a look to Tane, she shakes her head and pulls up her rifle, not aiming at anything. Rook: "Have you a speeder to transport those without a Rising Pheonix?" Becasue she wasn't sure anyone could carry Tal in all his gear ... GM: But for now, they remain unharmed... End Session 99

Episode 6, Chapter 4, Session 98 - Insurgency GM: On the planet Nizon, hidden away in the Centares system, our brave Hellions fight forces of the First Order to free the leader of the native Nazren, Sartok. Kesvo has slipped away to infiltrate the First Order to track down and persuade the former Emperor's Hand "Kiyota" into accepting the Hellions as chosen agents. In the meantime, disguised as mercenaries, they are engaged in a frantic fight against occupying troops to free the populace! We find them now, in the midst of that battle. Ashley, bedridden with a nasty stomach ache from some of the native food, has felt a disturbance in the Force that awoke him with a jolt and led him to the central market place, wherein Trandoshan Slavers engage in frenzied battle against First Order troops. Atop the wall, some 30ft off the ground, he can see soldiers fighting against Tal and Janix as grenades go flying.

Venn: ((Isnt it crit already from rook?)) Tal: Tal unslings his bowcaster and picks up his vibroaxe, swinging in a deadly arc that cuts through the stormtropper before him. His momentum carries him forward the First Order Sergeant that was, originally, several feet away. Now he's right in front of the man, axe prepared to strike. Venn: (Oh thats how it works) Janix: Janix will move her cloak aside, quick draw her rifle, and lay it on the edge of the bridge. Taking cover behind a crate, she takes a moment to center her breath and shoot the dog that Rook blasted. It hits the beast square but doesn't fell it. Down the ramp, she knows Tal can take care of themselves. "Hope you have explosives," she yells to the new girl. GM: The First Order sergeant in front of Tal is obviously startled by Tal's immediate presence, and the blood upon his blade. Unsettled and afraid, the difficulty of his next action against Tal is increased by one. The Droid Assault dog suffers a terrible wound to its maw, sending Duranium Teeth all over the place from the sniper rifle shot. It looks terrible, but the resilient monster is still active.

She glances over and waves down at Ashley in the most goofy way, even though she looks like a masked terror. GM: Rook's rifle disintegrates the massive assault dog, but her Disruptor Rifle runs out of power - the weapon only meant to be used in short bursts! Rook: Rook fires at the deadly assault droid, her weapon making a quietly disturbing whine. several tale-tells flared red, and it a faint scorching sound came from it. It would take more than a quick recharge from her armor to get it back in motion. Side-stepping (+2 upgrades vs ranged), Rook prepares to handle the rest of the fight with her pistol ... Ashley: Sometimes Ashley really did not need to try out new things but at least--with that kick in the arse disturbance in the Force--he was out and about. His eyes widened a little at the goofy way that Venn was waving. Really, it was reassuring to see her goofy wave and that crazy mask as he would make his way to, you know, the commotion. Venn: Venn will spend her turn chucking the fallen Imperial rifles into the crowd of prisoners below. "Happy Life Day!" And will take cover moving up after the fact, within the range.

First Order Stormtroopers: "Watch out, they're armed!" Captain Hegler: "Kill them, you idiots! Kill all of them!" "Call for backup!" GM: One of the massive cyber-dogs leaps and pounces a Nazren gun-wielding prisoner, chomping the tall reptilian humanoid in half. Janix: "Great shot," Janix yells at Rook as she sees Venn throwing rifles down. "And a great idea," she says, smirking as the captured Nazren pick up the weapons. Rook: Rook snarls at Captain Hegler orders his men and his battle droid to kill the nazren prisoners. GM: The other jumps atop the building where Rook and Tane are on, growling at them both, and charging at them. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Dog! DOG!"

Willa: Willa watches the fight play out with wide-eyed fascination for a second, before the presence of mind to act kicks in. She murmurs something to herself and taps on the panel of her forearm, causing it to slide back to reveal a small keypad. She devotes a few keystrokes to reorganizing the power differentials in her cybernetics, and inhales shakily as she feels things adjust.She then starts to sprint forward, intent on tossing the guns of the downed imperials down to the slaves... only to find Venn already doing so! It's about then that one of the giant robo-dogs launches itself after Four and Dr. Tane. Willa gasps and heads that way.

We got this," she chirped, grinning brightly at Tane and Four despite the monstrous droid nearby.

Ashley Nasur %u25B8 %u25B8 %u25B8 %u25B8 End Turn %u2714 Rook: Rook leaps to the side as the GIANT dog lunges at her.

Rook: Rook B. will use her 3 ranks of HIGH G TRAINING to pay up to 3 Strain instead of having her Jet Pack suffer the same amount of System Strain.

Tal: The Sergeant tried to shoot him in the face. He missed, so Tal swung his axe. It bit deep through his armor and Tal felt it bite into skin, through muscle, and heard the Sergeant's surprised cry as he realized what had just happened to him. Tal sprinted past him and headed up to the remaining First Order warriors in the tower, intent on keeping them from firing at his team or the Nazeren on the ground.

She looks over the nearest exterior wall while they feed their information to her, and selects a spot she deems the least likely to challenge the overall integrity of the wall. She kneels there and prepares a pair of proton grenades, and then runs away from the immediate area before the blast fires.

Willa: Ashley passes a teal-colored R2 unit as he rushes along the parapet to join his comrades. Nines squeals in surprise, then backs away from the edge of the wall and heads back down the stairs. Given a moment, he'll make his way through the hole in the wall Willa made on the ground level. Venn: ((I didnt give Willa her explosion sound)) Ashley: With the explosion clearly blowing his obvious path, Ashley finally makes it to the roof and jumps down onto it (waving at the startled unit that went by). Still too far away to really do anything, however, he calls down to ... hm, interesting ... "The way is clear for a short distance!" calls out Blue, judging whether or not he wants to do the entire flip off the building. "There's gonna be troopers further away, since I convinced them it'd be a bad idea to stay around."

Thankfully, she isn't on her feet when it goes, and is stabilized enough from her prone position. Willa: "Oh! You must be Blue!" Willa chirps as the Pantoran arrives out of nowhere. Ashley: A few crazy flips and parkour maneuvers, Ashley drops down and pulls his blaster out to take a shot at the other robotic dog.

Venn: Image The future right there Janix: Janix sees the dog is on her tail and jumps back as it lunges at her. She continues her move towards the Captain. Willa: "Not yet," she says, with a grin Ashley: "I mean ..." Willa: Willa takes off towards the dog Ashley: "I could hold it in place for you? Or try, anyway." GM: As Helger moves to run, one Nazren steps in front of him. Venn: ((Team Nazren yis!!)) Sartok: "You are not going anywhere, Hegler." The Nazren draws a vibro-knife.

Janix: Janix holds her rifle ready, either to shoot or rifle butt, as Willa reprograms the dog. That was handy but she was not certain she wanted huge droid dogs to follow their team around. "Thanks?" She mutters apprehensively. GM: As the last of the First Order forces fall, the Nazren with a knife steps forward. "Brothers and sisters, our saviors have come! Quickly, we must away through the door they have formed!" he gestured to the giant hole that was formed by Willa's bomb. Willa: "Hey any time!" she replies to Janix with a bright grin. Venn: ((Tal will get a statue like Jane Cobb)) Tal: Tal rises and sweeps the blade of his axe at the stormtroopers, cutting them down right in front of the Nazren slaves. "You're free! Grab their weapons!" Ashley: "Be careful!" says Ashley. "There might be more troopers as you head out." Mostly so people did not get shot, though he made a point to try and get an eye on anyone who looked horribly hurt and would need help. GM: Approaching Janix and Willa, the regal Nazren gestures to them. "Come with us, there is a safe place not far from here I can take you!" Janix: Janix waits for the droid dogs to go first, her rifle strangely at the ready. "I got the rear," she shouts as the Nazren and team can go first. Rook: Rook will search the body of the slaver for the controler so she can remove any slave collars ... but then she will fly over to IL-0M and pick the little droid up most carefully. Indo: "Willa, you and your friends should listen to Sartok, he knows his way around this place!" Willa: Willa nodded at Indo. "Are you coming with?" GM: The Nazren do not wear slave collars like the Zygerrian slaves do, but rather simple collars and chains. Janix: "Find the one with the axe," she says to the regal Nazren, "He can speak for us and make sure your path stays clear." Indo: "You go ahead, I'll let the gang know that you got me and send you a signal where to rendezvous. I gotta grab somethin' in town fast." Ashley: Well, the lack of bad slave collars is good. Venn: ((Encounter still running or can we move normally?__ Indo: Indo places a hand on Willa's shoulder, flashing a wide grin. "Thanks, kid. I owe you one." Willa: "What?! What could you possibly--arrghh. Alriiiiight," she huffs, as he takes off. Janix: "Five, can you lead the way?" Janix yells to Gil/Tal and points to the regal Nazren. Indo: "Nice to meet all of you!" He yells to the rest and waving, before rushing toward the northern gate. Venn: Venn leaves the wall with two blood spattered rifles from Tal's carnage and tosses them to the nearest Nazren as she walks by. Rook: "Let's go, folks." Janix: "I'll pull up the rear." She says, eyeing the "tame" dogs. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane hops down and walks over to Rook, looking at IL-0M with a frown. "You think you can fix him?" Willa: Willa whistles a sharp few notes -- binary, actually -- which summons both Nines and the two robo-dogs to her proximity. "Lead the way!" she says, agreeing to follow Sartok. Tal: "Got it!" he said, and moved to follow Sartok to the safehouse. The whole way, he knew that Kesvo would not be happy about this. Not one bit. Venn: From her bicep she pulls a stim and administers it, recovering 5 wounds. Sartok: Sartok nods to the Nazren who are now armed, taking the lead with Tal, the Nazren leader guides them out of the prison into a hidden cave entrance that was disguised by some sort of illusion technology. Within minutes you are taken to a series of underground caves that look to connect to a dried out river. Rook: "I think so, but I'll want my workstation and it'll take time." Rook answers seriously. Sartok: "We have one there. We can speak without being rushed once we reach the safe haven." Janix: "Hurry up," She urges Rook & Tane. "We'll figure that out later." Willa: As she's going, she slaps some repair patches on the each of the dogs. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Coming mom." Venn: She is, at first, rather confused why two large technological beasts are in their group. Ashley: Ashley snickers at that. GM: The two cyber-dogs follow after Willa. Janix: Janix glares at Tane's back as she holds her charged rifle and remembers why he's useful to her. Willa: "So.... you guys are pretty nuts," she observes, as she moves along with the Hellions and the Nazren. She falls into step beside whichever of the Hellions is nearest. Venn: Scratching from her vocoder after a beat. "What guarantee do we have that those things won't revert to base programming..." *"How are you calling others nuts when you are flanked by those like some kind of cyborg houndmaster supreme..." GM: Within around twenty minutes the Hellions leave behind the surface of Ahdjok. Along the way the Nazren and their leader pick up several cashed belongings. They reach a large cave that seems to have held an underground lake. He makes a quick sweep of the cavern, checking to ensure that it has not been disturbed. There are several beds and cots here, as well as amenities and supplies to see to several dozen Nazren that are here, waiting for them. There are tearful, warm reunions among the prisoners and their loved ones. Willa: "Well, but this is just programming," she says, gesturing to the dogs. "Just science. Did you see the blue lady jump across the whole yard at once?" she asks, eyes widening. "And Five did it too! What even is that?" Rook: Rook moves easily into the cave system, unbothered by being underground. She does attempt to remember the way, as best she can. Sartok: Sartok turns to the Hellions, and while some of the Nazren are fearful of the reprogrammed dogs, he lifts a hand to dispel their murmurs. "Can you send them back some? They are frightening my people." Venn: "Maybe repulsor tech or rocket boots." Tal: Tal follows Sartok, his axe reshouldered and his bowcaster at the ready. Entering the caves makes him feel a bit more secure, but he wondered how this would all play out in the long run. He hadn't expected that they'd help Willa right away, but now that they had....what next? "Good genes." Ashley: Ashley, similarly, as they move into the cave system keeps a mental track of the path they take. Willa: "Oh, sure, of course," she says, feeling sheepish and apologetic once she realizes the dogs are scaring the Nazern. "I'm sorry, I shoulda thought of that." She looks back at the dogs, and silently commands them to move back into the tunnels. "I'll have them stand watch and let us know if anyone follows." Ashley: Just in case, you know, they got to make a quick path right back out there later. Sartok: "My name is Sartok, and I am the leader of the Nazren rebellion. We must speak, but first, let us see to your injuries. We have food and water." He gestured to the small fire that had been formed, and several bedrolls that had been brought forth. "Rest, and we shall speak soon." Venn: The masked Umbaran looks to Sartok and notes his apprehension. It is likely shared by most in different degrees. Cool Tal Vodax Dice Roll (Proficiency Success + Advantage) (Proficiency Advantage x2) Results (Success) (Advantage) (Advantage) (Advantage) Ashley: "I can help with anyone who is injured or needs medical help," says Ashley to Sartok.

"I'll take some help but I can wait." There is some purple blood on her torso but it's far less than the arena and the near death she faced with the Acklay. Willa: "I'm Willa by the way," she says as an afterthought, extending a hand to Ashley. Ashley: "One," says Ashley, "or Blueberry." Pause. "Blue as well." No proper first name at the moment because, well ... he wasn't sure. Though he did take her hand and offer a warm smile. Venn: Two fingers move to her temple, double tapping the visormask so that its intimidating visage fades with the retraction of the panels, revealing her face. Whatever lessons the suspicions of these oppressed peoples. Ashley: A glance went to Janix. "Really can't leave you alone, can I?" Willa: "Nice to meet you. And this is Nines," she said, gesturing to the R2 unit who followed close on her heels. Rook: Rook is still fatigued from that stun blast, not to mention the shot that ricocheted off of her helmet. "just need a stim pack here, Blueberry." Rook grinned at Ashley. "Sorry we got you out of bed." Janix: Janix takes off her helmet and smiles at Ashley. "Probably best if you didn't." Venn: "Are you certain this place is secure?" she queries to Sartok. Ashley: "Look, maybe I just don't try the local cuisine when it comes with a medical disclaimer." Sartok: "Absolutely certain." Willa: Willa watched the banter between the others for a moment, and then set about moving through the Nazren to see if any needed a little patching up. Janix: "To be fair, I learned that the hard way after leaving home." Janix responded to Ashley about local cuisine. She ate simple because it was safer. Tal: Tal paid attention to their chosen path, making sure that they wouldn't be surprised by enemies in the darkness. Once he was satisfied of that, he felt a little more secure in relaxing. Willa: As the Overcharge wears off, a bit of sluggishness afflicts her, though, and she's a little slower moving than she was before. Rook: She looks around for the promised mechanics workstation for looking after IL-0M. Then she will nod to Sartok. "Nice to meet you ... for now, I'm Five." Janix: As Willa passed, Janix smiled at the young woman. "Good job. Those dogs are still creepy though, but thank you." Rook: (four i mean argh) Willa: Janix's comment summoned an instant and bright smile. "Sure thing! Don't worry, they're no threat anymore. But I'll have them keep their distance anyway. I get it." Janix: "So what now?" She asked, mostly of the Hellions and Sartok. It seemed safe but she wasn't about to completely let her guard down. GM: The Hellions rest up after freeing the Nazren rebels, and Willa's friend. Safe, for now, they recover from the fight and plan to speak further with Sartok, the native leader, on their next move... End Session 98

Episode 6, Chapter 4, Session 97 - Insurgency GM: The Hellions have made their way into the Nazren city of Adhjok on the planet Nizon. Finding that the ancient city is fully occupied by the First Order, they are covertly moving about and gathering information on the whereabouts of several individuals: Kiyota, the First Order's "Emperor's Hand" who was their contact from Prince Xizor, "The Protector" a Mandalorian renegade who is attacking First Order interests on the planet, and "Startok", a leader of the Nazren that is evidently the head of their resistance. Having split up to rest in a cave-based hotel, the group went into several private conversations on their next moves and their interpersonal lives. The Aeon Mallard and the Rivener remain hidden in the desert while a Star Destroyer remains in the nebula that surrounds the planet. While Kes has decided to split from the group to engage in her own private act of espionage and negotiation, the rest of the crew awaken the next morning. Dr. Tane is still in the room with both Janix and Ashley. (From GM): Willa has been scouting out the detention center near the market square the last couple days. Last night she met a strange and unique droid - IL-0M, that explained that it was here with its master on an independent journey. Over the course of the next two hours, the two talk and she comes to understand that IL-0M's master is here to resist the First Order. Tal: Tal slept quietly, stretched out on his bed. When morning arrived, he woke and got dressed, thinking over what Kesvo said the night before and what they'd need to do today. He rose, stretched, and started to once more to don the guise of Gil Cressik. Rook: Rook slept well, soothed by the cave-style room and Venn's perspective on life. She fashioned a white half cloak to help disguise her look, folding and pinning it to cover her clan markings. Rook: First thing in the morning, Rook would head to where Janix, Ashley and Dr. Tane are to ascertain what supplies were left from their trek here and what might be needed for their trip to the Bed Lands. She knocked on the door, confident that Jannix would be up early no matter what! (To GM): Would IL0M share any details about HOW its master plans to resist the FO? Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane steps out of the sonic shower and gets dressed, uncaring about Janix or Ashley's sensibilities. "Well! Who's ready to sample the locale faire? As I remember, the bar serves a mighty good Trandoshan Coffee." (From GM): IL-0M shares that its master works with a group of heavily armed and accomplished mercenaries - one that Willa's heard of: The Hellions. Venn: The new day met the Umbaran witch who again adjusted her hairstyle. Gone were the longer blonde and pink locks she had the night prior. Short hair now crowned her head as it used to some while back. The chromomite color was now a shiny ice silver, with dark lowlights* blended in near the roots. Rook probably is still amused that Venn used her Seeker droid to get that hair cut... and the fact was revealed that ID-9Z did more of that cosmetic stuff than actual combat duties. That droid does her nails too, by the way... and she'd hook Rook up with that probably. Heh. Janix: Though not the most illustrious job, Janix spends the evening with Ashley and Tane and manages some decent sleep. She got the shower before Tane and was just stretching when Rook came to the door. "What makes this coffee special?" She asks as she looks through the peep hole and sees Rook's armor and opens the door. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Oh, it's about as strong as a Trandoshan's breath." (To GM): ...she'd ask if the Hellions need a slicer? Janix: "What is a Trandoshan?" She asks. Maybe she should spend more time studying the galaxy and less training.... Doctor Rafan Tane: "Su cuy'gar!" He says in greeting to Rook. "Oh, they're like... lizard folk. Hunters. They are traditional enemies of the Wookiees. Like our very friendly security chief." Rook: Rook would be delighted to have the Droid help with her nails! and then would make a solemn resolution not to punch anyone as it might damage her nails. (From GM): IL-0M would say it does not hurt to ask, and that perhaps they share purposes. Doctor Rafan Tane: "There were a couple in the streets here. I think the ones in particular we saw are slavers, actually." Rook: "Su cuy'gar!" Rook grinned brightly at Dr. Tane, before stepping into the room and offering a "Good morning!" to both Jannix and greeting to Ashley in Pantoran. (To GM): Would he tell her where to find them? (From Il0M): "This Unit can guide you to them." Janix: "Mmm," she says non-committal about the coffee and the race. "Good morning," she says more warmly to Rook. "Shall we join the others?" GM: Ashley has a bad stomach ache from something he ate, and says he needs to stay in bed for a little while longer. GM: He does look somewhat 'greener' than his usual blue skin. Rook: Rook stepped out of the way so that Venn, Tal and/or Kesvo might join them, waiting to brief Ashley and Janix until that lovely vid-vox scrambler was in place ... only slowly realizing that Kesvo wasn't going to be there so no safe zone to speak of. (To GM): Willa will follow, with Nines in tow. It's a chatty walk. Janix: Janix will make sure to send someone with some water and food for Ashley later. Rook: Rook frowns in concern at Ashley, glad he wasn't facing a long hike to the badlands. "So ... did anyone catch you folks up to speed?" Maybe the breifing already happened. (From GM): Willa learns that IL-0M's master is an archaeologist and adventurer, and has been on the planet before. He is looking for a 'Lost City' of Mandalorian nature. It inquires if Willa knows anything about it. Tal: Gil finished getting ready and then went to check on the rest of the team. (To GM): what's the roll? Doctor Rafan Tane: "Catch me up to speed on what?" Janix: "Negative." She glanced at Tane. "How about this, we'll follow you and you can tell us on the way." It'd be safer that way. (From GM): Daunting Lore check (4 purple) Dice System: The GM flips a Dark Side Destiny Point Dark Side points remaining 5 New Light Side total 4 (To GM): 1 sux 5 adv (From GM): Willa has heard of the same ancient Mandalorian City Tane has talked about to the group in the past. Rook: "Ok then. Seven, you and One get to help Two out. It'll be fun." Rook points at Dr. Tane as he doesn't have a call sign. "you, sir, get to help out Five and I." Tal: "Actually, we should all go together." Gil said. Doctor Rafan Tane: "This number thing is really confusing." "Who's what number?" He gestured to himself. "Do I get a number?" Rook: Rook could only nod agreement to Dr. Tane. Venn: Venn...literally out of nowhere... is behind Tane. "Aren't you a bloody doctor. Simple numbers elude you?" Rook: "That's not what was decided last night," Rook said to Tal. Janix: "You'll have to wait until Five doesn't want to kill you," Janix joked dryly. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane jumps a bit. "Eek!" Rook: Rook tried not to sputter a laugh at Janix Doctor Rafan Tane: "Stop that. That's ridiculously creepy." Venn: "Then you should like it." Rook: "She's awesome that way." Rook said in regards to Venn. Janix: Venn was definitely creepy at times but Janix smiled at Tane's reaction. "Lead the way," she says to Venn. Her or Kes could fill her in later. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Mmm.." He pauses and points to Venn. "Point." Tal: "Yeah, there was a talk after the talk." he told Rook. "If we get out there and things are hotter than we expect, it might be good to have the team with us." he said. (To GM): Cue some idle postulating about whether beskar would be useful for cybernetics or droid-making. Tal: "It's a suggestion. This is unknown territory and splitting up isn't a good idea until we're sure we're not going to endanger the other operations in motion." he said. Doctor Rafan Tane: "So, where are we headed?" Rook: Rook gave a cool look to Tal. she knew exactly how to interpret what he and Kesvo decided. Venn: "Why ask when you don't have a choice either way?" Tal: "We'd be heading into the badlands for a little expedition. I'd rather talk about it more once we're on the way." Gil said. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Is that something your last paramour told you?" Rook: "We will need supplies, he's best suited to helping us know what we need." Rook will look through what is left of the supplies Janix had arranged. Venn: "Your sense of humor needs refinement." Doctor Rafan Tane: "Oh, the Badlands." Tane nods slowly. "Yes I'm familiar with it. Nasty stuff. We'll need a speeder that'll get us out there." "Going on foot wouldn't be advised. More of those scorpions and even worse storms." He says, turning away from Venn to look to the rest. (To GM): She'll follow Ilom to the hotel then? Or the cantina that's attached. Wait and watch for them. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Going to be hard to find.." There's a knock on the door. Tal: "Well, let's get those things arranged. I want to move on this as quickly as we can." Gil said. Tal: Gil heard the knock on the door and motioned for the others to quiet down. He walked over to the door and looked through the peephole. GM: IL-0M is floating in front of the door, behind the small droid is a young purple-skinned Twi'lek woman and an R2 unit Tal: Gil grimaced. "I recognize exactly one droid outside this door. Who else did you invite here?" he asked, looking at Tane. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Hrm, what?" Tane moved to look out the peephole. "Hrm... I don't recognize her. But that's definitely IL-0M." Tal: He really didn't want to try hiding a body today. "Why is your droid in the company of a stranger, Doc?" Rook: Rook puts her helmet on and checks her weapons. "Probably going to cause a commotion leaving them out in the hallway," Rook says dryly. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Don't worry." He turns and flashes Tal a grin. "I'm sure if she's any troubles you can just beat her to death or something." Tal: "Not as big as the one that'll happen in here." Doctor Rafan Tane: "I sent him out to get some intel and supplies." Rook: "In here it would at least be private, which is what we are striving for." Janix: "Goddess be damned." Janix mutters angrily and glares at Tane. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane opens the door. "Hey there, little buddy!" He says in cheerful greeting to the droid. He then looks to the young woman. "Brought a friend have you, come in, come in!" He gestures for her to step inside as he steps aside. Rook: Rook gives a quiet greeting to IL-0M. Venn: The hooded woman just shakes her head in the background, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. Willa: "Whoa," the woman says, bright eyes widening at the gathered crew once the door opened. "Lotta you in a small room," she added with a nervous little laugh. She waved a white, cybernetic hand. "Hi!I'm Willa. IL0M here says we might be able to help each other out!" Il0M: The little droid floats forward and hovers by Tane. Notably, Tane closes the door behind the Twi'lek and her R2. Tal: Once everyone's inside, Gil closes the door with a very final slam. He looks to the Twi'lek woman, checking her for weapons. "I'm bad with names and worse with surprises. Who are you and why are you here?" Willa: She jumps at the slammed door, and tries to give the angry guy some space. The R2 unit chirps indignantly. Il0M: "This Unit found her, Doctor. She says she is an expert slicer and has done some reconnaissance on the detainment camp." Willa: She's wearing a blaster pistol on her hip, a hip that she turns defensively away from the big man if he reaches for her gun. Il0M: "She also has a fully functional speeder that can fit all of us. And knows something of Balak-To, as you requested." Janix: This all seemed surprisingly helpful. Janix glared a little less at the doctor and looked to the woman. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane leans in close and whispers to IL-0M. "Good job, little buddy." Willa: "Wow, you guys are jumpy," she observed, looking from face to face. "This a bad time?" Rook: "Hello, Wila. Nice to meet you. You can call me Four, for now." Willa: "Oh hi, Four!" she chirped, smiling brightly as though clinging to the one friendly presence. She held out a hand to shake. "Nice to meet you." Rook: Rook smiled when Wila called the team jumpy but as her helmet was on, likely only the team would note that particular angle of her helmet. Doctor Rafan Tane: "I'm Doctor Rafan Tane." He takes Willa's hand before anyone else could shake it. "This is my expedition team." Rook: Rook takes her hand in a gentle grip, familiar with the task of shaking an unarmored hand when she was geared up. Tal: "Yeah, I get jumpy when helpful people I don't know show up on my doorstep--" Gil glared at Tane. Willa: "Oh, so you're the one responsible for this little guy?" she asked, turning to shake Tane's hand after Rook's. Doctor Rafan Tane: "We're here in search of Balak-To." He releases the hand for Rook to shake. Willa: "He's pretty spectacular." Rook: Rook tried to swallow a laugh as Dr. Tane offered both the perfect cover and a declaration likely to irritate the rest of the team. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Indeed, he is all of that. There's a long story about him. Don't worry about Five here. He's always grumpy before coffee." Willa: "Are you?" she asked, casting a curious glance to Ilom briefly. Il0M: "This Unit is unique, thus the Doctor's statement is correct - This Unit is spectacular." Tal: Level head. Level head. Level head. Level head. Level head. Janix: Great. They were all bonding over droids. Maybe she should have tried that coffee... Rook: "Indeed you are, IL-0M!" Rook grinned wider, liking anyone who was smart enough to appreciate IL-0M. Willa: "Uhh. So... maybe we should go down and get some... uhm.. coffee?" "And we can talk about how we can help each other?" Doctor Rafan Tane: "In a moment.." Tane says with a smile. "My friends here are very business-minded." "They don't like to waste a lot of time, or conversation." "So, to expedite it a little - I don't like to subject anyone to Five's mood that doesn't need to suffer it - how about you tell us how we can be of help to you." "Given that IL-0M wouldn't bring you here if he didn't think you'd be useful to my expedition." Tal: Gil just smiles. Awkwardly. As though he just learned how the expression worked. Willa: "Oh, well, see, I have this... uhm, problem." "I need to get into the detention center in the middle of the city. That is, rather, I need to get someone out of there. And while I'm pretty good at solving problems, this place is pretty heavily guarded with only one way in and one way out." Doctor Rafan Tane: "I see. And what's the name of this friend?" Rook: Rook murmurs to Tal, "We need the vid-vox." Janix: Janix was a bit more interested as it would be nice to have a good reason to free some people... That said, she wasn't the only deciding factor there. Rook: Rook holds up a hand to gently request Willa hold onto the name until the device is turned on. Tal: Gil's voice is low. "We need a lot more than that.." "Wait a moment, before you go any further." Willa: "Uhhh... Indo?" she said, narrowing her eyes as though confused as to why that was relevant. "Not exactly the social butterfly ty--" she started to say, but stopped at Tal's interjection. Tal: Gil leaves the room. He returns less than a minute later with the vid-box in question and sets it up. Willa: "Huh," she chirps, as she watches the device Tal sets up. "Is that a scrambler?" Doctor Rafan Tane: "Very astute." Tal: Once it's ready, he'll look at Willa. "It's a finish-your-story box." Willa: "Oh. Right." Rook: Rook grins at Tal, then nods to Willa. "Indeed." Willa: "Uh, so, anyway, Indo isn't the social type, so I doubt you know him, if that's what you're after," she finished, to Tane. Rook: "Is Indo a local?" Willa: "He is now, I guess. He's been on Nizon for a couple of months, now, but he's not a native, if that's what you mean." Tal: "We need a full name and explanation of who this is. You're asking for a lot from people you just met without giving out much in return." Gil said. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Well, now, Five. That's not completely accurate." Willa: "On the contrary, I have a speeder," she said, holding up a finger as though it was a clarification that explained everything. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane nods toward Willa. "She has a speeder, and given that the First Order has everything locked down tight, I'm sure Willa here would be happy to let us use that speeder without much paperwork, right?" "Paperwork is the bane of research." Rook: "She's risked lot to speak to us at all, Five," but Rook paused as Willa clearly had the matter well in hand. Tal: "Note that we didn't invite her here." Doctor Rafan Tane: He looked over toward the dark corner Venn was in. "Besides, we've heard of someone else that is in the Detention Center, no?" Willa: "Of course. Plus, I know my way around the badlands, some. I can be helpful! I'm not trying to short anyone, you know. I've heard of the Hellions. You guys are not the ones to get on the bad side of," she said, with a slightly nervous little laugh. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane looks at IL-0M. "I told you, to keep that quiet." Il0M: "This Unit thought your cover story was bad." Tal: Tal looks from Willia, to IL-0m...to Tane. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane looks at the others. "I said to keep it quiet." "I explicitly said." Venn: Venn doesn't affirm nor deny Tane's claim. Rook: "It seems like this is the fastest, most efficient way to see to our tasks. we need into the Detention center anyway," Tal: "Well, you're probably right. They sound like people you wouldn't want to upset. We're just a bunch of researchers." Janix: Janix pinched the brow of her nose in pain. She wanted to be on Tane's side but he was making it hard. Willa: "Oh," she frowned. "But IL0M said that y--" she looked back to Tal, and his expression stopped her. "Oh." "Right. Researchers! That's... what I said, heh." Tal: "Tane's Topological Training Team." he said. Willa: "Which works out well for me, 'cause researchers don't typically blast well-meaning strangers who show up uninvited to their room. ...right?" Doctor Rafan Tane: "Willa, right?" Rook: "We are interested in (i)Balak-to(/i) but things aren't quite what we expected here." A fully truthful statement, even if not covering the whole truth. Willa: "Yep!" Doctor Rafan Tane: "How about you answer my friend's questions, and we'll talk it over." Willa: Willa drew a deep breath, and then began to speak. Her cadence was naturally a quick and rolling one, hard to follow when she got really excited. But for now she was only moderately excited, so she was intelligible. "Okay, so Indo is part of a group that calls themselves the Ruffians, headed up by this Klatooinian guy named Mephit. They actually kinda hijacked the ship I was working on a while back, and said they'd leave me in one piece if I worked with them, and I was freelancing at the time anyway, so I figured, sure, I'll take a new gig over dead any day, right? So I've been working with them for a while but Mephit had the brilliant idea to come here for some reason he wouldn't explain, and we've been running small jobs for months now." "Indo got picked up by the First Order for--Idunno, looking like Indo, I guess, and they locked him up a few days ago in the camp in the middle of town. Mephit and the rest of the crew went out on a job in the desert, and he told me to stay behind and get Indo out, or don't-come-home basically." "Which kind of is fine with me actually, 'cause it wasn't so much of a home as it was a kind of hostage-slash-indentured-servant kind of situation, you know what I mean? And when IL0M said the Hell--er--" she glanced to Tal, nervously, then back. "You researchers were here, I thought, this would be the perfect chance to maybe hop on a different crew. If I had a chance to prove my skills, of course. So it's kind of perfect that you need help, and if you need someone from inside the detention center then we can do it together and you can see how good I am and I can--" The droid at her knee made a grunt of disapproval, and Willa stopped talking. "Sorry. I get going, sometimes..." Janix: Janix wondered if Willa ever stopped to breath. Rook: Rook laughed softly, and nodded at Willa. "me, too." Janix: There was a soft laugh at Rook's retort. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane turned to the others, waiting for their reactions. Rook: She glanced around at the team, wondering where they stood on the matter. Willa: Willa smiled, bright and cheerful, at Rook's comment and Janix's soft laugh. Her expression got more uncertain as she looked to the quieter ones present. Janix: It seemed like a moving story but she wasn't sure Kes or Tal/Gil wanted more crew. Tal: "Well, Willa, that's certainly a hell of a tale. We need to talk about this, so...Four is going to hang out with you for a moment and we'll get back to you." Janix: The speeder the whole team could use was of note in the whole of the story. Rook: Rook nodded cheefully, "Why don't the two of us grab coffee and breakfast for everyone, and you folks can talk." Tal: "Great idea, Four." Willa: "Oh. Uh. Sure!" she chirped, and nodded. Rook: Rook grinned at the little R2. "I didn't mean to fail to include you. Why don't you come with us?" Willa: Willa laughed a little as she started to move. "Good luck getting him to stay behind. Nines is the best but he has, uhm... attachment issues," she starts to explain, as she heads out with Rook. The R2 unit leaves as well, close on her heels. Janix: To Gil and Venn, Janix turned. "Where is Three?" Il0M: IL-0M turns to the others after Rook, the R2, and Willa leave the room. "This Unit did as you requested, Doctor Tane. Do you wish me to eliminate her?" The droid's central eye turns red. "Does she know too much?" Janix: She knew Kes would have an equally strong opinion about dealing with local color and those who wanted jobs. Tal: Gil closes the door behind them. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane holds a hand up. "Wait a sec, IL-0M. It's fine. You did good." Janix: "I think it would be preferable not to have your droid murder random people when we are trying to avoid attention." Tal: "You sent your droid out to find us help. Said droid basically gave away our info to a stranger." Gil said. "This stranger has a speeder, but wants us to break into a high security facility in the middle of town to help her find a friend. It just so happens that we need to go there, but...this is the opposite avoiding attention." he said, through gritted teeth. Venn: "She is not lying." she declares calmly. Doctor Rafan Tane: "That's why I told him not to." "Two birds, one stone." Tane gestured to the group. "We get a speeder and a guide to the Badlands, we get closer to this Protector, we mess up the First Order a bit, and help the resistance leader." Janix: "She seems... eager. It'd be nice to put her with a crew that didn't give her the choice of "death or join"..." Doctor Rafan Tane: "I didn't tell IL-0M to tell her that we were the Hellions." Tal: "But you didn't tell it not to, either?" Doctor Rafan Tane: "No I told him not to!" Il0M: "Your cover story was not believable." "This group does not act well in clandestine affairs." Tal: "This is why the Restraining Bolt industry persists." Il0M: "It is unfortunate that there are no restraining bolts for organics." Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane smacks the side of the droid's chassis. "Pipe down." Janix: Janix pinched the bridge of her nose again and ignored the droid. "I think helping her would help us and One says she was being honest . We don't have to take her back with us but might give her a fresh start." Doctor Rafan Tane: "Worse comes to worse, we steal the speeder from her afterward." "Borrow." Tal: Smashing the droid would substitute for smashing Tane's skull right now. "My initial thought is that we give her an audition. She helps us and we'll consider helping her in trade based on her performance." Tal said. "We take care of our objective first and go from there." Janix: "Also not a bad option but might want to not tell Four that one." Doctor Rafan Tane: "Sure, that sounds fair to me." Janix: "I like that Five. No promises but a chance. And it'd give Rook someone to talk to at length potentially." Tal: "By then, Three should be back, One will be in shape and we can decide how we'll handle it." Gil said. He had an idea or two already, but he'd have to talk to Venn about it. Tal: "Alright. We let Willa audition for the Research Team and we get moving." Doctor Rafan Tane: "Right, and reinforce the research team cover." Tane leans in and whispers quietly, but audibly, to Tal: "You're doing great." Tal: "Do not ever invite strangers here again." Doctor Rafan Tane: "Never again." "...because I never plan to be here, again." Tane moves for the door. Tal: Tal's fingers twitch. His neck. It could be clutched and squeezed until his head pops off and rolls across the floor.... Is this what the Dark Side feels like? He would ask Venn about that, too. Janix: Janix grabs her helmet and a light cloak from before to drape and cover herself slightly. It would get hot but it might help keep some attention off her. She wasn't about to stop Tal from giving Tane a good punch. The Doctor was being quite sassy. Rook: Rook was chatting easily with Willa and Nines, learning a bit more about the area and the Roughians. Assorted coffees fixed for the tastes of the individuals were in souvenir mugs, and warm, wrapped sandwiches, too. Probably everything would be devoured before they even got to the detention center. GM: The Hellions (and interns) step out into the open streets of Ahdjok. Having agreed to work together with Willa, the crew step out together. The market place near the detainment center is crowded with a number of merchants, traders, and mercenaries. Nazren slaves are ever-present, with a trio of Trandoshan slavers (whom Tane points out to Janix) move about with their faire, looking to sell them. They can see the detainment center's main entrance way - an old stairway that leads up to the nine-meter tall walls that look into another part of the city. From beyond the walls there's sounds of distant shouting of some kind. (To GM): the north wall that had the controls for the gate, is that the far side of the camp? the side we can't see right now? GM: The stairway has an automated fence and a group of four stormtroopers on guard. The Stormtroopers up on the walls have Light Repeating Blasters. (From GM): Yes. GM: There looks to be two places in the wall that were once gates, but have been patched up with newer brick - evidently to secure the area more. Rook: Once again the helmet being in place is helpful for Rook. it's hard to watch those slavers and do nothing. Kesvo's advice to remember that they were doing something, something bigger than just destroying three slavers helped. it was hard to keep her attenion primarily upon the stalls and the gear they needed to shop for. Janix: Janix keeps near Rook, just in case she needs to stop the young woman from disobeying orders. She preferred when Kes wasn't glaring at her or others. Willa: Willa quiets as they move through the city. She watches the slaves and their slavers, but doesn't comment much until they get a little closer to the detainment camp. "There's a panel that controls the gates on the north side of the camp," she told the group, while pretending to pause and shop at one of the stalls. "Getting the gate to open is easy. It's all the guards that are harder." Rook: "Is there any legitimate way to get several people inside there?" Rook asks softly. "Or tunnels, or weak places in the wall? Do you know if the detainees are in good enough shape they would be able to move swiftly?" Tal: Gil tries to take in everything as they pass, including the armor that the stormtroopers are wearing. He files away the information on the gates and the discussion of the guards. Placing the detention camp in the center of town made stealth a necessity. Willa: "Not without them being processed as actual prisoners, which..." she shrugged. "You know, didn't seem like a smart idea for someone like me. If there were known tunnels or weak places I'm sure they would've been patched up; you can tell by the guard compliment that they're taking this place seriously. I mean they even patched up the old gates," she said, pointing to the newer patches of block. Janix: "Could always blow it up," she joked and looked at Rook. Tal: "Let's not even joke about that." Rook: Rook flashed a grin at Janix, but shook her head no. "Not this time. too much at stake." Willa: "Heh. That would be perfect, actually. It'd be just the kind of distraction I'd need to keep them occupied so I could slice the gate and ge--" She paused. "Oh. You were joking." "Right." Rook: Rook looked around the city, for a place that would be an excellent distraction. Venn: Clicking her mask down into place, she scratches through her vocoder. "I could cause a distraction." Janix: It was a dry joke but she nodded when Willa said she was joking. Willa: "It would need to be one that drew alot of guards." Rook: "Could we cause one that framed the roughians? and one without ..." Rook wiggled her fingers in their super secret code for The Force. Willa: "Maybe multiple distractions?" Willa watched Rook oddly, clearly not following. "I think framing the Ruffians would be bad for me unless you guys are sure you're gonna let me follow you off this rock." Rook: Rook nodded to Willa. "Just wondered if it was on the table at all." Willa: Willa adjusted the military-style pack on her back and tilted her head to eye the top of the wall, and the guards patrolling it. Venn: "We will see what happens." she declared She masked woman will drift into a group of people moving around, vanishing for the moment. Willa: Willa was watching Venn and still lost track of her. Venn: ((Stealth vs the Trandos?)) Willa: "Wow. Don't take this the wrong way, but she is really creepy," she murmured, to Rook. Doctor Rafan Tane: "That's what she does..."

Willa: "You mean well made tea?" she asked, uncertain. Rook: "That too." Janix: Janix shrugs and waits, looking around the market. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane looks over to Janix. "I thought that was misplaced tea, personally." GM: The market is quite busy! Venn: Like a ghost in the crowd, she passes by their number from behind. She utters as she moves..

GM: The Trandoshans turn and look to each-other, rumbling in anger at the whispers in the wind that they take as truth. They let out a roar and turn toward the patrol to the south and charge down toward the First Order soldiers. The Hellions see a commotion off to their left as suddenly the Trandoshans pull out their stun rifles and open fire at the Stormtroopers on patrol! Suddenly under fire, the troopers call for aid, and the stormtroopers at the gate turn and start rushing toward the sounds of battle. Rook: "Do you need more?" Rook whispers urgently, but she is watching both the storm troopers and the slaves the trandoshans had been intent upon selling. is there a way to discretely loosen their bonds? GM: There is now... A FIREFIIIIIIGHT Janix: "Hm, seems like Two's work. Shall we?" GM: Many shopkeepers rush behind some cover. Tal: "That is...both what I expected and not what I expected." Venn: *"What did I miss?" she says, batman-appearing%u2122 by Tane. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane jumps again. "EEK! STOP THAT." Tal: Gil will move behind some stalls and stealthily approach the stairs in question. Janix: Janix laughs again at Venn-Tane antics. Willa: Willa makes her way towards the stairs, using the market stalls for cover to try to avoid attention while moving. Venn: The Umbaran drifts off in Tal's wake, following the big Mando. "Works well enough?" she whispers to him in good-natured fashion. Janix: She follows the group, moving quietly keeping alert. Tal: "Has anyone told you lately how amazing you are? If not, let me be the first. You are amazing." GM: As the Hellions (and intern) approach the main electrified gate, they can see a small panel on the wall that controls it. Some of the troopers are looking toward the sounds of battle in the streets, where as the rest are looking inward at the commotion that is still seeming to be coming from within. The troopers above you don't seem to notice you yet. Willa: Willa heads towards the gate, though she's startled to find Tal and the others there already. "How did you--?" she starts to question, but shelves it and tucks into the cover. "Here, I can get this," she says, reaching for the panel. "But this is gonna lead us up into another string of them, just so you're aware." Janix: "Sounds like we wnn't have to be as quiet anymore," Janix says with a bit of a smile in her voice. Venn: "That is unfortunate... For them." Willa: "You guys are wild," she says, while she works. ((Diff?)) GM: 2r 1p Over her shoulder, Rook can see the Nazren that were enslaved by the Trandoshans running for cover. Rook: Rook tries to watch where they are going, knowing they would need help - probably Willa's style help - to get those slave collars off. Janix: Moving towards the young Twi'lek, Janix puts a hand on her shoulder with familiarity. "You got this kid." Using her biotics she urges her neurons to fire faster and her fingers to move with quickness. %uF4AA Imbue Activation Action Effect The user may spend %u25D0%u25D0 to increase one of another engaged chracter's characteristics by 1 (to a maximum of 6) until the end of the Force user's next turn.

A panel slides open, and she begins tapping at a tiny keyboard there. Janix's touch on her shoulder stops her, and she looks up to the helmeted woman with a confused expression. "Of course I do," she said, not understanding the sudden vote of confidence. Nonetheless, she feels good enough in the wake of it that she forgets about her Overcharge process, and proceeds to simply begin slicing.

"Wow, I really did have it," she said, as she sees the effects read out across the screen. "All of their electronics are down, except what they're carrying on them." Tal: Gil actually looks impressed. "Good job, Willa. Let's get to researching." Willa: "Ha! Heck yeah!" Venn: "That means automated security if they have any. Lovely." Janix: "Good," Janix looks at the rest of the team. "Less likely they'll be able to pin what comes next on us." And follows Gil/Tal Willa: "Are we not worried about doing this quietly?" she loud-whispers as she follows the crew. GM: As the Hellions crest atop the huge wall at the top of the stairs, they see a large number of Nazren gathered in various locations in what was once another part of the market. In the center there is a large makeshift Fighting Ring that currently has a pair of combatants engaged in a deadly melee: A Togorian and a Wookiee. Willa: "Cause if not, I have... things..." GM: Standing off to the side is a First Order officer, a Captain by the looks, watching the fight and talking quietly with a Trandoshan. Patrolling the walls are seven-foot tall vicious-looking robotic hounds with Duranium plating and teeth, standing nearby a number of Stormtroopers. Willa can see Indo, talking quietly with a Nazren man, his head downcast. Janix: Janix looks at Willa. "Most of us aren't quiet. I would avoid explosives and just follow our lead. Don't follow Four's lead though," she says vaguely. Rook liked to fly around and leap forward which was less ideal. Willa: "Oh! Hey! There's Indo!" she whispers to whomever's next to her while she points out her target. Venn: "Those are new." she says, regarding the assault K-9s.

(No you can go) First Order Stormtroopers: The troopers turn toward the assault, letting out a cry of alarm. "We have intruders!" Willa: "So, still no on the explosions?" she asked, looking worried as Janix takes off Janix: "No explosions yet!" She yells back as she runs forward. Willa: "Nnggghh!

Episode 6, Chapter 4, Session 96 - Insurgency GM (GM): The Hellions have landed on the planet Nizon, narrowly avoiding a Victory Class Star Destroyer that was hidden in the nebula surrounding the planet. Following the trail of the agent Kiyota, Ashley has helped navigate the Ardent Rivener and the Aeon Mallard into a set of caves in the mountains, somewhere in the wilderness. GM (GM): The tracker seems to indicate toward the north from the ship, though the planet is highly inhospitable, and is playing havoc with the tracking device. You can get a general idea on where you need to go, but nailing down how long it'll take to get there or what awaits you are outside of the device's capabilities at this time. Those stepping out of the Ardent Rivener find that the planet has a large amount of dust on the planet, making it difficult to see and breathe. Captain Riprock: Riprock meets with the others before they move to leave. "The Mallard is still a mess, so I'll try and get the crew working on it while we fix the Rivener too. I could use a hand back here while you're all out looking, it alright if I keep N1-TR0 here?" "Since it sounds like you're taking Tane?" Venn: Venn had switched coms to private during the descent, only addressing Riprock as he piloted the Rivener. Her cadence was calm and confident in that they were encouraging words without actual direction. And lo and behold, success! Though if you want to reduce it to post coital bliss, you can because you are twelve! Dice System: The GM flips a Dark Side Destiny Point Dark Side points remaining 5 New Light Side total 4 Janix: Armored and happy to have her rifle back, Janix moves to the assembled and dons her helmet. It's not environment sealed but it should help. "Ugh, dust." She mutters to herself as she dons the hemlt. Kesvo: Kesvo, unhappy at the news that the tracker was being imprecise, made her way towards the ramp leading onto the planet's surface. Wincing against the abundant dust she can see below, she pulls her breath mask out of her kit and puts it on. Riprock's comment draws a nod. "Nitro, you mind giving him a hand?" she asked the droid. N1-TR0: "Affirmation: I would be pleased to assist the Captain. I will endeavor to keep a communication channel open between the team and these vessels - however, it is likely the planet's conditions and our own efforts to remain hidden here will necessitate a lack of communication." "Query: Do you wish me to arrange for Doctor Tane to be returned his equipment?" Kesvo: "Understood," she said,nodding in regards to the comms. At the question about Tane she sighed softly. "Might as well." Venn: The pale umbaran has her hood drawn, the composite fabric of her cape picking up in soft billows from the strange breeze of the planet. She affixes her visor-mask, obscuring her features in the dark metal as the violet lenses flare to life. "I don't supposed the airspeeder would work here..." she mused aloud. Kesvo: "Don't worry. One day we'll get to use it," she told Venn with a little smirk. Venn: She held up a gloved hand as if to catch some of the dust whirling about. "I can't imagine all these particulates are good for engines." "Always with the promises..." she returns to Kesvo with a shake of her head. Kesvo: "I assume Four's grabbing Tane," she observed, at the Mando's absence. Venn: "Or they are grabbing each other." Kesvo: "Not if he values all his parts." Captain Riprock: "Ya'll be safe out there. Keep an eye on your back." The Captain urges, though he looks toward Venn after that. "Especially you." Rook: Rook stepped into the strange, dusty world. Her armor is more silver than colored, jet pack and new disruptor rifle in all polished and ready for mayhem. She grins over her shoulder at Doctor Tane, and then settles into place near Kesvo. Venn: "I am the most responsible person out here." she scratches back through her vocoder in what could probably only be jest. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane arrives at Rook's side, N1-TR0 handing him his blaster pistols and equipment. IL-0M floats behind, chirping something toward the other Droid. "Ahhh, I'd nearly forgotten how the air on this planet practically hums with history." Kesvo: "Alright. Let's move out." Venn: *"...do I have to waste my time with a threat?" says the masked woman directly to Tane, visage impossible to discern. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane looks over to Venn, an eyebrow lifting. "I don't know, do you? We're all friends here, I thought." "I'm here to prove myself a valuable member of the team." Venn: She doesn't say anything, right away, leaving her unsettling air remain for a second. "For your sake, I hope that is true." scratches the filtered Imperial female voice before she turns and moves on. Kesvo: "Alright, let's focus," she said, as the party began to move out. She turned her head to look at Tane. "Are you familiar with this part of the planet? Are there concerns - flora, fauna, that sort of thing - we ought to be particularly careful about?" Rook: Rook's mood lightened a bit by the chatter, she gave a quiet greeting and farewell to N1, then a wave to the Captain. The Doctor's calm in the face of Venn's effortless aura of menace was either a mark of his confidence or of the very bad company he'd kept in the past. Tal: Tal is glad to be back in his armor. He decides to let the others handle Tane, for now. If they thought he could be useful, he'd go with it until the man proved otherwise. The dust on this planet made him grimace beneath his helm, so he focused on his new axe and his bowcaster as the equipment he brought with him. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane withdrew a breathing mask from his equipment and placed it over his mouth. He likewise pulls out some glare-shades and places them over his face as well. He seems to have equipment preparing himself for traversing this planet. "Quite so." He voices from behind the mask. "The planet is very old. The Nazren, the natives, their species had an empire that once covered the planet and controlled many nearby systems. One of their enemies destroyed one of the planets in the region - causing this world to get knocked closer to this system's sun." Gesturing outward to the desert world, he continued. "What was once a lush paradise world turned into a hazardous mess. Many of the natural species died out in a matter of decades, what remained has adapted to be extremely resilient." Dice System: Kesvo flips a Light Side Destiny Point New Dark Side total 6 Light Side points remaining 3 Janix: %uF4DD Careful Planning Activation Action Effect Once per session, may introduce a "fact" into the narractive as if a Destiny Point had been spent. Dice System: The GM flips a Dark Side Destiny Point Dark Side points remaining 5 New Light Side total 4 Janix: Another bag by the door contains some additional items that seem they will be useful for the planet. "Here, these should help." Most of the gear seems most suitable for a desert planet. "Thought a bit of a survival gear might be useful while we were all doing our own things." Kesvo: "And entirely self-concerned and non-hostile, right?" she amended, deadpan as though she expected it to be true. She did not. Doctor Rafan Tane: "The natives or the rest of the fauna and flora?" Kesvo: Kesvo nods to Janix, reaching for the bag to pull out some glareshades. "Thanks." To Tane, she says, "The super resilient fauna that we're likely to encounter between here and where we're going." Doctor Rafan Tane: "Oh. They'd like to eat us, no doubt." Rook: Helmet angled in delight, Rook gave a quick thumbs up to Jannix, as the team acquired the necessary gear for desert travel. Janix: Thinking of Mandrake, Janix turned to the good Doctor. "Do you speak their language?" She paused. "The natives, not the plants," clarified the Commando. Doctor Rafan Tane: "There's one in particular - a Nizon Blade Scorpion, oh it's massive, as big as a speeder, and its tail has a venom that can incapacitate a Dewback in about three seconds. It's really rather fascinating how it came to be.." Janix: Janix returns Rook's thumbs up. Doctor Rafan Tane: "I do, indeed, know the language of the locals." Tane says with a tone of pride. Rook: Hearing about the giant scorpion, Rook double checked her wrist rockets. Just to be sure. Doctor Rafan Tane: "As I said, I've been here before. Once we find some transportation - perhaps from the local garrison - we could even venture out to find Balak-To. Janix: "Good. Maybe we can avoid being attacked by native children again." adds the Hapan with some lack of cheer. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Oh, do you all make it a habit of tousling with the local wildlife?" The rogue archeaologist chuckles and steps into the open desert, the dust in the area is thick and you all can barely see one-another (save those who have equipment who ignore such problems). While you're able to move about and survive in such conditions, it's unpleasant, and obvious that what Tane said is true, this planet is highly inhospitable. Rook: "Any reason to bring along a ion rocket, or should I swap it for an extra flechette?" Tal: "No, but it makes a habit of tussling with us." Tal said, deadpan. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Uh. I'm not really qualified to answer that - I don't think I've ever used an ion rocket." Rook: Rook could only nod agreement to Tal's comment.' Janix: Janix nods at Tal's assessment of the previous situations. Rook: Rook shook her head sadly. "We'll have to fix that. You haven't lived until you've fired a wrist rocket." Doctor Rafan Tane: "Oh, that my life has been so without purpose..." Janix: She follows the team down the ramp and finds herself considering the usefulness of her sniper rifle. She can barely see a few meters in front of her let alone over a hundred. Nevertheless, it was nice to have the target rifle back at her side. Doctor Rafan Tane: "The city, Ahdjok, the natives call it, will be above the dust. Once we're there we won't have to worry about all of this as much."

"I don't suppose there's any technology to put the planet back in it's proper place." She sent a sideways glance at Kesvo, and held up a hand. "Idle speculation." Kesvo: Kesvo gave a soft, amused little snort. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Oh, if there is, I would bet real credits that someone would love to get their hands on it. That sort of thing could be an unimaginably powerful weapon." "Something akin to the old Death Star." Janix: Janix smiled at Rook and shook her head slightly. Rook was definitely a dreamer but it was better than the alternative. Kesvo: "What resource is here that would justify a war ship hidden in orbit?" Rook: Rook shook her head. "All of the great inventions seem to be that way. So easily turned to domination and destruction." Rook glanced at Dr. Tane, thinking of at least one thing the First Order would want; at least, if it was here at all. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Oh, there's a lot of resources on this planet. Enough duranium to make a fleet of ships. Ancient technology that we were only beginning to scratch the surface of what was possible. The local population alone was seen as a worthwhile investment - few races are naturally as strong or as docile as the Nazren." "And if Balak-To was found, well, that's a Beskar forge." Rook: Rook glanced over at Tal. Tal: The longer Tane spoke, the less Tal liked what he was saying. The First Order and the Empire were always looking for new places to subjugate, strip-mine, and destroy. The mention of the Beskar forge drew his attention. Rook looked at him and Tal considered what that would mean for both her clan and his own. Doctor Rafan Tane: All of you easily get the sense that Tane would talk for hours if you let him, probably to hear the sound of his own voice. GM (GM): Though thankfully, you, as players, do not have to - let's do a time skip! Hard Survival Checks, please. Kesvo: Kesvo's content to quietly let him talk while they move, taking in what she can about the planet. Intense Focus: Maneuver Suffer 1 Strain to upgrade next ability check.

It seems to have caught your scent. Tane recommends not fighting it, as they are known to be pack animals. While it is following the group, it's not seeking to actively engage, so you continue on your way. Unfortunately, the planet's inhospitable nature seems to be more than just the air. As you come in sight of some ancient artifact that juts very high into the sky from broken earth, a sandstorm suddenly sweeps over you. Kes and Tal are nearly swept away from it, were it not for Janix's quick action. She manages to stop both of them from being lost in the storm. Nonetheless, you have to take shelter and quickly so. It's a scary thing, as one moment you were walking along and the next you were in a sand hurricane. Kesvo suffers 10 strain. Tal suffers 5 strain. Anyone with any remaining threats (after successes acting as advantages) suffer strain equal to the result.

Tal: The massive structure is the first thing that draws Tal's attention. He wished he was a gearhead with a mind for understanding what such a thing could even be used for. It's a little awe-inspiring, even as it worries him a bit. Venn: ((Tane is gone, everyones pockets are out like rabbit ears)) Doctor Rafan Tane: "Fascinating!" Tane says with cheer, nearly rushing forward toward the structure. "This was built by the ancient Nazren - at least five thousand years ago!" Kesvo: Kesvo expresses her thanks to janix for the quick thinking, and then agrees with the rest of the group that shelter is prudent. Upon emerging, she slows her pace to gawk a little at the immense structure before them. Rook: The sand is a weapon all of its own, eating into the joints of her armor, fouling the vents of her breathing system almost faster than the filters can accommodate. Dark, hot, dry ... moisture and life seem to be drained away by the second as the storm raged. Once the air cleared, a vast structure like an eye loomed over head. Janix: "Wow," Janix says as she emerges. "To see it before it was destroyed...," she adds wistfully. Rook: Rook moved closer, trying to decipher what materials it was Tal: Tal looks around to see if there are any automated guns training themselves on Tane or anyone watching from the structure. He also pats Janix on the shoulder. "Hey, thank you. Next round is on me when we get somewhere better than this." Kesvo: ...and then she remembers the giant scorpions, and does a slow 360, looking for movement around them while everyone's staring at the structure. GM (GM): Average Perception.

Kesvo: "Yeah... I don't see anything, though. It must've moved on while we were sheltering." GM (GM): Janix still has some dirt clogging in her armor - ditto for Tal (3 strain to Tal), but both of them indeed see three giant scorpions on the crest of a hill above them, skittering toward them. Tal: "Nope. Looks like he brought friends!" Rook: "I can't tell if it's a relic from the locals, a crashed ship, or something else entirely." Janix: "By the Goddess. Incoming!" Janix points towards the crest of the hill.

Kesvo: Kesvo pauses in her retreat to stare as Rook takes down one of the scorpions. She turns a mildly confused look to Tal. "How come your gun didn't do that?" Tal: "She's got a Disruptor rifle, Boss!" "I hope someone remembers my birthday this cycle!" Janix: "Huh," Janix looks briefly at Rook. "Is that even legal?!" Kesvo: "Sounds like excuses to me, Five!" she called, for some reason finding humor NOW in the midst of the fight. Rook: Rook stepped forward, cleared her mind (turns out Meditation IS useful) and focused completely upon her target. A squeeze of the trigger, and the leashed lightening of the Disruptor Rifle obliterated her opponent. She took a moment to watch the other too, and then prepared to join the team in their retreat. Venn: "There is just like.. a couple of legs left..." "Oh wait those are gone now too." Tal: "I get no respect." Tal muttered, mock-indignantly. In truth, he was glad that someone on their team had a Disruptor Rifle. "We get another weapon like that, we don't sell it." Rook: "Oya!" Rook grinned but didn't take her gaze away from the enemy. "No, it's not legal at all." Venn: "Did it get you?" she asks Tal, who she saw get struck... Rook: "I maybe could build you one, if we got schematics." Rook assured Tal. Tal: "No, I'm good. Just knocked by bowcaster out of my hands!" he told Venn.

Just in case he plans to betray them... "We gotta move! They'll be back!" Kesvo: Kesvo begins backpedaling again. "Nice shot, Four! Now let's haul ass, guys! Get your shots in on the move if you can, but get inside the structure!" Janix: Janix will hustle back with the team as her rifle recharges. "Hurry up," she mutters to it. GM (GM): The Scorpions get up from prone and start hustling toward the group - they are now at Long range from Venn. Venn: "Four, heads up. We are moving." she calls out to the mandalorian. Rook: Rook retreats, full speed, but keeps her attention on the scorpions. "Wilco, Two!" GM (GM): The Hellions are able to reach the structure, finding that much of it is hollowed out and they can move to get inside. Venn: "Bloody things are tenacious." she remarks, hustling back to their number once Rook is clear. GM (GM): Given the size of the scorpions, it looks like it would serve as a good barrier between them. Kesvo: "See if you can find an opening to shoot from," she calls out as the Hellions make their way inside. "We can pick them off from safety." Rook: Rook keeps a rear guard, making certain all of the Hellions, Dr. Tane and especially IL-0M are safely inside. Tal: "This is insane. Those things are nightmares given form. I miss the Nunno." Tal said. He begins looking for a place where he might hunker down and fire his weapon from safety. Rook: "The nunno was good eating." Rook says, thinking back upon the encounter with fondness. Tal: "Yeah, it was." he agreed. Venn: "At least Nunno had that delicious langostino meat, indeed." GM (GM): As the group get into the structure, the Scorpions come across the disintegrated remains of one of their packmates, turning toward the structure that houses the group. There's some mad-staring, it seems, and then they turn and flee back into the badlands. Rook: It's almost enough to distract Rook, thinking of that meal! Kesvo: While the others are looking for perches to shoot from, Kesvo takes a look around the space they're now in, trying to determine whether or not they've just run into another tricky situation. Rook: "It looks like they are retreating." Kesvo: "Odd." Venn: "Seems they have at least enough intelligence not to want to be liquified." her filtered voice remarks, watching the beasts. Kesvo: "I know that should be good news, but damn if it isn't creepy." Doctor Rafan Tane: The structure appears much as it did outside - some sort of massive building or device. Venn gets a feeling similar to a crashed Star Destroyer within this device, as if some massive ship or station had crashed into the surface here. "There are a couple more of these around the city. I've always wondered what they were - a starship that crashed during the cataclysmic event, a space station? Or perhaps the remains of some sort of portal technology, given its shape?" "Could it be a Gree Hypergate, perhaps?" Tane gestured around them to the hollow structure that was ancient and yet, did not feel completely dead. Rook: "At Vlemoth, the only real city really was a space station, once." Rook studies the metal skeleton of the machine, eager to learn what she can of it. Janix: With a quick breather, Janix finds a good snipers nest, just to be safe, she stays there. She listens to the Doctor and team but keeps an eye out. Mechanics Rook B. Dice Roll (Boost Success) (Ability Advantage) (Ability Success + Advantage) (Proficiency Success + Advantage) (Proficiency Success + Advantage) (Difficulty Threat) (Difficulty Threat) (Difficulty Blank) (Difficulty Failure + Threat) Results (Success) (Success) (Success) (Advantage) GM (GM): Rook can tell that this metal is unlike anything she' she has seen before - except that there are obvious traces of Beskar in it. Rook: "Look at this!!" Rook ran her hands along the metal in a caress. "There's Beskar in here! how did they do that?" Rook will look for any piece small enough to cart away, and even take a scraping in case she can analyze it later. Venn: "Strikes me as maybe some antediluvian super-vessel." she taps the side of her visor mask, the panel folding away to reveal her feace. *face Kesvo: "I'd love to say we had time for you to investigate to your heart's content, but that sand storm already cost us a day. We need to get moving again." Venn: "Isn't beskar ore from the planets in the Mandalorian system?" "Maybe they went there however thousands of years ago..." Tal: Tal looks over everything, moves to see what Rook is looking at. "It is. Finding Beskar is hard to do these days, for most people." Doctor Rafan Tane: "Yes, and that may well have been why the Mandalorians came to this world and built a city here during the Conquest." Venn: She nods at Kesvo, who is bringing reality to the matter. "Oh, the Empire used to stockpile it." she divulges casually. GM (GM): Rook can find a few small pieces, but they look to be more collector's pieces than anything functional unless you have something that could properly melt it down or harvest it. Clan Awaud does not. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Yes... one of the other reasons they found this world of interest, no doubt." Rook: "Yes." Rook nodded to Tal and Dr. Tane. "it's very rare ..." She paused as Venn confirmed something that Duke Irban and Oberos has implied. Rook will take a few of the precious pieces, though she has no hope of shaping, refining or purifying it. "I'll study this later," She glances at the amazing structure once again. "We can't shape it at all, at home." Venn: "Where to then?" Doctor Rafan Tane: "The scorpions looked spooked - thanks to Rook's weapon - or the building we went into. Either way, I think we're safe to proceed!" Kesvo: "Same heading. We'll be lucky if she's not gone again by the time we catch up." That comment caused her to turn a distrustful look up towards the building, for a beat. Venn: "Almost as spooked as you." quips Venn at the way Tane bolted earlier. Kesvo: But she didn't comment on it, and headed back out into the desert. Doctor Rafan Tane: "Me?" Tane gestured to himself. "Madam, you mistake my excitement for investigating this building for cowardice. I assure you, I was only slightly afraid." Kesvo: "Let's move out!' she prompts, as she goes. Tal: Tal shoulders his bowcaster and moves out with Kesvo. Doctor Rafan Tane: He turns to IL-0M, which had been hovering around scanning over things. "Get everything?" He asks the Droid, who repeats in a cold 'Affirmative' before following after the others. Janix: Janix laughs slightly. "It's ok Tane. I'd stand behind Five too if I could." She claps him a bit on the shoulder, firmly, as a good reminder of the strength of the team. "You are in good hands and better off if you don't need rescuing again." Rook: Rook uses her jet pack to sweep around the building, taking a few vids, before rejoining the team on the ground. Venn: As they go out again into the unpleasant sun, the Umbaran taps twice at her temple, causing her mask to again cover her visage. With danger now lurking in the distance, she will submit some of herself to the Force for protection. (Sense - commit 1 dice) GM (GM): The Hellions proceeded forward back into the uninviting air of Nizon. They travel for another day, as the sun begins to set they find what looks to be a road of carved stone, and in the distance, they see a gigantic mountain rising high above the valley they are in. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane gestures toward the mountain. "That's where Ahdjok is." Kesvo: Along the way, Kes attempts to make contact with the Rivener to keep Riprock updated. Rook: Rook studies the mountain, trying to estimate distance. "Makes sense they'd head for higher, cooler ground. What sort of organization does the city have?" Tal: Tal keeps an eye out for scorpions or other fauna, but otherwise follows the group in the direction of the city. GM (GM): The tracker points toward the city. Kes is unable to reach the Rivener. Venn: At some point when matters become dull, Venn binders herself to Tal to annoy him... as she is want to do. GM (GM): You do see some starships flying up into space and some craft - notably the starfighters you encountered, circling around the city. As you are looking - two TIE fighters fly overhead, nearly knocking you to the ground as they zoom past you toward the city. Tal and Venn recognize that they are not the old Imperial TIE Fighters, sporting what looks to be a new design. Doctor Rafan Tane: Tane cringes. "Ah.. well... that's not good." Tal: Tal starts to point something out to Venn....and realizes that he's cuffed to her once again. How did she do it? When did she do it? Normally, he'd be super-annoyed and do something like throw Venn over his shoulder and carry her. Instead, he recalls the trick he studied. There's an audible pop and then Tal slides his hand out of the restraints. Then he relocates his thumb. He does so just in time to see the TIE fighters that nearly clip them all down...except different. Tal: "Those look like TIE Fighers, but not any design I ever saw. They look like newer models....that's not good." Rook: The squeal of engines a they are buzzed by a pair of TIE fighters sets Rook's pulse to racing. Her gaze traced their flight path. Venn: She draws her cape up to withstand the engine wash of the starfighters as they blaze on by with the signature scream. Kesvo: Kesvo watched the fighters speed away, though she didn't comment on their build. "The tracker not being reliable is going to be a problem." She looked to Venn. "Unless you can get any sense of where we're going?" Venn: "Those have to be from that ISD in the nebula... if not, they are being constructed here?" Rook: "I am thinking it's be worthwhile to get a copy of those plans." Rook murmured, then glanced over at Kesvo. Venn: "If I try to scry that slag we are after, she might in turn know I am here." Doctor Rafan Tane: "Well, it looks like the First Order has picked up right where the Empire left off." Kesvo: "The alternative is following an only quasi-reliable tracker signal into the front door of an imperial city." Venn: "Our...eh... The Empire's starfighters are manufactured by companies. Massive contracts." Kesvo: "If anyone has ideas, I'm open to hearing them." Venn: "So either Seinar is still working with them on the sly, or these folks came upon a stockpile and are upgrading it with their own.... people..." Doctor Rafan Tane: "I'd assume they have taken over the garrison. Also, see that?" Tane gestures to some of the ships leaving. "Those are freighters - it's safe to assume there's people besides the First Order and the Nazren here. Merchants, traders, mercenaries - people who don't mind First Order credits." Tane gestures up to the highest peak where there's sporadic light. "There looks to also be some sort of construction on the mountain." Venn: The masked woman looks to Kesvo. "If I try to do it, it would probably be better to do it when we aren't vulnerable in the open..." Rook: "If they are building ships here ... that's probably something we should know more about. and we might be able to get near a computer terminal and hack in. that might be safer?" Rook looked between the force users, leaving it up to them. Kesvo: "Fair enough," she nodded to Venn. "Maybe we can blend in enough to not draw immediate attention." Rook: "in general, a mandalorian can wander around places like this. Do you want me to look around?" Venn: "We know too much. This has to be a massive secret that they can't let get back to the wider galaxy. So I would not expect any quarter to be given if we are discovered and they know we saw that ISD." Rook: "So what is the larger risk, you being sensed by her, and she sends a death squad after us, or us tyring the computer where they don't konw for sure who it is?" Doctor Rafan Tane: "As long as we appear inconspicuous, we should be able to move around the city, I think. As long as we don't approach anything sensitive." Kesvo: "If the opportunity presents itself, yes, but that's not our primary concern, at the moment," she told Rook. "We can always investigate that aspect of this place more later." Venn: "The city looks large and noisy enough to give us cover for whatever we are going to do." Doctor Rafan Tane: "What is it, exactly, we're trying to do here?" Kesvo: "Let's head in and hope the tracking signal clears up." "We're trying to find someone." Doctor Rafan Tane: "Ah. But you don't want this someone to know we're looking for them." He gestures to Venn. "If I understood the scary lady correctly." Venn: "We are doing a surprise nameday party." Kesvo: "Preferably, no. We want the chance to de-escalate from our last meeting that ended poorly. If she sees us coming, she might bolt or worse." Janix: Janix moves to near Rook and Ashley. Good thing she has a helmet. It is unlikely that Kiyota is going to be very pleased to see them. "Good thing we have armor," she says to Rook. Rook: Rook nodded. "Indeed." she studied Janix' kit for a moment. "but if she knows how to read my sigilsmight not matter." Rook shrugged. "I expect we won't be along for the initial contact." Janix: "We'll figure it out." She claps Rook lightly on the shoulder and adjust her rifle. The city was fascinating, even if it might be an enemy stronghold. GM (GM): The Hellions descend from the cliffside they had reached, heading down into the valley toward the city along the road. As they move, they can see a squad of First Order Stormtroopers escorting what looks to be several aliens in a caravan toward the city. GM (GM): The Nazren (for Tane indicates that's what the reptilian people are) are held in collars and chains. They are currently hauling what looks to be a block of metal - carved from a structure similar to what you had sought refuge from the scorpions in - toward the city. Kesvo: "Easy," Kes murmurs under her breath. Janix: "Goddess be damned," Janix mutters. This wasn't right but she knew blowing their cover moments away from the city would not engender her to the rest of the team. Rook: Rook watches intently as the First Order continues its racial hatred right here. The slaves - collars and all - forced to unearth and break apart their own relics. worse, if the were hauling this in, then the First Order did indeed know how to smelt it. Tal: Tal grunts as he sees the Stormtroopers doing what they do best: slaving. He's ashamed that he was ever one of them. While he'd like to kill every last one of them, he stifles the urge to do so. He'd asked Rook to think before she acted. He needed to do the same...and he needed to be ready in case something went sideways here. Rook: Fists clenched, Rook stood frozen, watching intently. Kesvo: Kesvo continues moving, and prompts the team to do the same. Janix: Janix will pull Rook with her. "Come on," there is insistence but understanding. Rook: Rook remains rooted for several long seconds, then moves on. Janix's tug on her arm is greeted with a nod, and she moves easily with her. GM (GM): The Hellions move past the troopers and the Nazren slaves, the Stormtroopers so focused on their own work that they pay the group little mind. You pass through massive gates, at least 5 stories tall, made of ancient stone. The city is sprawling, with 10 to 15 story buildings crowded around wide streets and public fountains. Most of the city is ancient, constructed of stone, or natural caverns. Ancient statues of rock and ornate decorative carvings are worked into most buildings and the mountainside, and the road you walk upon is paved with carved stones. More modern constructions can also be seen, mostly watch-posts bolted onto buildings or gates that block access to some streets. Posters, wanted signs, and recruitment fliers (some tattered and showing signs of The Empire, and others more recent showing 'Join the First Order!') have been plastered everywhere, ugly debris atop the city's natural charm. Most of the creatures you see are the Nazren. None of them seem to carry weapons, not even something as crude as a knife or a club. Their heads are generally downcast, their shoulders slumped to make them look shorter than they actually are. But whenever you see one glance up toward a First Order soldier or poster, they look up with obvious hatred in their eyes. GM (GM): Though far less common, aliens from dozens of worlds also walk through the streets. Most are followed by one or two Nazren carrying heavy bundles of goods. The aliens pass by you without comment and are diverse enough that you see no reason your own appearance should draw unwanted attention. Kesvo: Kes inspects the tracking device to see if its signal has firmed up any since leaving the desert and entering the city. Rook: Rook will take a moment to scan over the wanted signs. Maybe they could be allies? She watches the locals carefully, and begins to wonder if they are nearly as cowed as the First Order believes. maybe they only need weapons and armor to take back their own world? GM (GM): The First Order presence here is also obvious. Stormtroopers in small groups patrol openly through the city, and you can even hear the mechanical stomp of military walkers as AT-STs and old Imperial tanks move through the city streets. The signal does indeed clear up - it points toward the mountain overlooking them, where they can see signs of construction taking place. Janix: Though they were surrounded by enemies, she felt for the local Nazren, reminded of the Felucians. The more she saw of the First Order, the easier it was to want to tear them down with her bare hands. Kesvo: "She's up there," she quietly tells the group, and nods up towards the mountain. "Which I'm guessing is crawling with bucketheads." GM (GM): There is a wanted sign for a Mandalorian called 'The Protector' for 50,000 credits. The sign says he is responsible for a number of attacks against First Order troops, and that his bounty is to be brought to Captain Garrett in the barracks. Kesvo: She looks to Venn. "How likely do you think it is that the rank and file grunts here know who Kiyota is?" Rook: Rook will rip off that bounty, her heart pounding. Venn: "I can't say. It would depend on how prominent she is in their command structure." Janix: Next to Rook, Janix notices the action. Her only question is if it's Rook or Tal. She says nothing in the open though. Kesvo: "In general, were the Hands visible or more secret agents?" Venn: "Secret assassins usually were secret." Rook: "I was thinking, given her rank and general attitude, that there's probably all sorts of ceremonies and what not around her. even if she's under an assumed name. That's why I thought maybe a scan of their local communications or computer might be safer than the alternative." Kesvo: "Mm." She hummed, eyeing the nearest patrol and thinking. Venn: "I was able to pull rank during my business back then, but only if it pertained to my business and I wasn't allowed to just gab with the troops." Rook: Rook smoothed the paper, and then watched Kesvo. "Should we get inside, where we can talk ?" Venn: "Thing is, she may have decided to take on a more... prominent role in the organization. More visible." Beat. "Who knows how these idiots operate." Rook: Rook nodded to Venn, thinking about it. Kesvo: "I'm guessing there won't be data ports in the native structures," she said quietly. "We'd have to find our way in to one of the guard stations in order to find a useful access point, probably." Doctor Rafan Tane: "In the meantime, I noticed an old watering hole that's still active. It was ran by a Kel-Dor, 'Smiles' he was nicknamed, ironically so, that was the crossroads for most of the merchants and mercenaries." "If we want to blend in, we should probably head there and seem like we're looking for work." Kesvo: Kesvo nodded, and gestured for Tane to lead the way. Doctor Rafan Tane: Just as Tane begins leading the group, they see six heavy stormtroopers kick down the door of a building nearby. They rush in, four of them with rifles ready and aimed. Rook: Rook scanned the area, looking city over for signs that a subtle resistance still played out here. Venn: "These scum must really believe they have a firm hold on this planet." GM (GM): In moments, the troopers drag out a Nazren woman who is screaming about 'her child', and the wailing of a youngling can be heard from within the building. Rook: Rook spins towards the commotion, and takes up a defensive stance. Rook glances at Kesvo. Janix: As she'd taken up a spot near Rook for the walk (in the back), Janix responds to the commotion and Rook's spin. "Four..." She uses a cautious tone even if the scene unfolding boils her blood. Kesvo: "Keep focus," she says simply, without breaking stride. Rook: "Can we at least see to the child?" GM (GM): They are in the process of leaving with the woman. Venn: "I will go have a talk with them." GM (GM): They are dragging her screaming through the streets. Rook: Rook seeks to memorize the features of the woman, in case she gets to come back and resuce her. Kesvo: "Leave it alone, Four." "Two." She pauses, and turns to look at Venn. GM (GM): There are more troops further out, but they are focused on their own tasks. Tal: Tal's steps slow, for a second, though he keeps walking with the group. Janix: "You don't leave children." Janix said to the group as though fact. ((Are there other Nazaren around who don't appear to be slaves?)) Venn: She will approach as if walking by, then address the commander Rook: Rook veers enough to be near the doorway the child is in.

You should come back another time when the streets aren't full." First Order Sergeant: The Sergeant looks over to Venn and just stares at her for a moment. "Who the hell are you?" Venn: She leans in... "Glory to the First Order." she says in her officer's accent. First Order Sergeant: The Sergeant's helmet indicates some confusion. As Venn leans in she can see his operating number on his helmet. Handy! "Uh. Glory to the First Order!" "Now, we'll go back to detaining this seditionist." Venn: Venn returns to the group. "I have his number. We can find him later." Rook: Rook will seek to meet the gaze of the Nazren woman being dragged off, "I will protect your child." Rook will step into the building, looking for the child. Kesvo: Kesvo continues to the tavern. Tal: "Wait, where's Four?" GM (GM): The troops pull the woman away. It does not take Rook long to find the screaming babe - perhaps only a couple years old. There is a dead hound in the living room, having been shot by a blaster bolt. Kesvo: She leaves the others if they don't keep up, gets a drink, and sits at the bar with it. Janix: "Tane, come here and help." She orders the Doctor as she drags him towards Rook. Rook: Rook looks for some sort of carry seat or sling, and will pick up the baby. GM (GM): Kes finds that the bar is somewhat small but filled with people. She barely is able to find a seat as a scarred Kel Dor is handing drinks out to a variety of aliens. Some are well armed and look to be bounty hunters. Others are more relaxed in their garb. Doctor Rafan Tane: "This is a bad idea..." Tane mutters as Janix is trying to drag him along. Rook: She collects a baby bag - she had, after all, done her share of baby sitting. Tal: Tal looks around for Rook and hopes that she didn't do anything crazy. He'll then head to the bar and join Kesvo at the bar. Janix: "Of course it is, but would you rather it be Four alone in the bad idea or with backup?" The question is asked with a fact that backup is the right answer. Venn: ((I would like to use a destiny to introduce a fact)) Venn: Someone of relation to the woman being dragged away nearby is familial/related and and will come up to Venn and tell her so. I.e. an avenue for someone to care for the child. Dice System: Venn Parsa flips a Light Side Destiny Point New Dark Side total 6 Light Side points remaining 3 Doctor Rafan Tane: "Uh.. this feels like a trick question." Tane says as Janix inquires. "She's a Mandalorian. She has rockets." Janix: "Yes, and they have backup. Stop arguing and find someone who can help so we aren't babysitters." She points to the Nazren who are watching. Doctor Rafan Tane: Venn is soon approached by a younger man of the species. He speaks in Basic, albeit in a gutteral way that's a little intimidating at first. He seems unbothered by her appearance, mask or no, and says he is the woman's nephew. Tane will do as Janix asks and try to summon some aid as well, though by then Venn can have it well in hand. Venn: She comms the others and lets them know there is someone who can take care of the child. Rook: Rook heads for Dr. Tane, who knows the locals and speaks their language. Janix: Janix will move with Tane to loiter conveniently for the hand off of the child to the relative. Hopefully to hide any of Rook's involvement from any passing troopers. As Venn and the local head towards them. Venn: "He is a relative and can look after the youngling." she says to the others, introducing the family member. GM (GM): Half of the team is able to unload the child from their care, the nephew thanks them and he leaves with the child. He whispers, quietly: "Sartok will want to speak to you." "You can find him at the detention camp." The alien then leaves with the child in his care. Venn: "Hmm. And we got a new contact out of this." she says before jutting her masked head towards the bar where the others are. Janix: "Curious." To Rook, she motions her head towards the bar. "Time to regroup." Kesvo: Kes is in the process of trying to chat up the Kel Dor, asking about potential jobs in the area. GM (GM): The Hellions regroup together inside the bar. Overhead, they hear the sounds of TIE Fighters flying past the city, arcing above them. Tane notably keeps his head down, trying not to draw attention, and the group are soon served drinks and a hot meal. It's starting to get dark, and they can arrange for some rooms at the two neighboring establishments, which are local hotels. The rooms are nothing fancy, but they're serviceable, as they're built out of a series of caves that were carved into a building. Nevertheless, they are here, amidst their enemy, and their next moves may well prove to be their last... End Session 96
