Crusaders Lead The Way! - Dominion of Subterrel [Moross]

[Sephoria Lasranae]

Sephoria came walking back toward Loxa, Siara, and Crystal just as the mercenary Kiffar gave the Sith Master lip for her question. It probably didn't help that every commanding officer in the mine shaft was a woman. Men weren't without their vices, but women seemed to be intrinsically coded to work poorly together in most cases. Seph swallowed down her amusement and forced herself to continue as the Deimos laid out her plan before moving on without input. It really didn't matter though since she had a clear directive on this.

"Reaper directive is clear on the subject. We'll break off to assault the facility housing the machine. Anyone who wants to go with us are free to. I can't guarantee your safety if you're gonna try your hand at reaping though," added the black armor clad woman with a shug of her shoulders. Crystal would be welcome, but the machine affected powerful force users and lowly soldiers alike.

Lasranae spotted a dead enemy's blaster rifle on the ground to which she popped the weapon onto the top of her foot before kicking it up into her hand. The Garhoon inspected the weapon for a moment before nonchalantly shouldering it's stock while holding it down towards the ground in a passive position. She would wait a few more moments for decisions to be made before she continued on her own way. Her shadow soldiers were already scouting deeper into the mines.

[Crystal]

Crystal narrowed her eyes as Loxa understated the situation. Unkind advantage. Well, that would be rectified quickly. She was in no hurry to have her brain rattled after all. At [member="Loxa Visl"]'s next inquiry, she shook her head. "Negative. No sign of her or word yet."

And right on cue, [member="Cameron Centurion"]'s voice was in her mind with the answers that they sought. She smiled. Unknown was always fun, for a little while anyway. She didn't appreciate [member="Siara Vorru"]'s sass, but that would be a discussion for another time and place. Instead, she just ignored the Deimos and followed [member="Sephoria Lasranae"], silently.

 

[Cameron Centurion]

Cameron heard [member="Piraiba"]'s report hit the airwaves in his earpiece. It was swiftly followed by a brief amount of chatter from orbiting Moross vessels sectoring a no-fly zone around the facility due to some sort of disturbance. "Shit." Expanding his senses, Cameron attempted to feel around for the location of the downed Crusader, but he found himself having to retreat as he opened himself further to the effects of the, currently, distant machine. There had been a flicker of something...like a tiny sunspot at the edge of his vision.

Tapping his earpiece he contacted the Ithari Swarm Frigate orbiting the planet. "Retask one of your squadrons to the no-fly zone. Conduct localized sweep with IR scanners in the acceptable heat range of a normal human body." The individual that had crashed...was not a human. However, the person they were all exhausting quite a few resources searching for certainly was. Maybe...just maybe they would get lucky.

Once those items had been set into motion, Cameron dispatched a brief message through the Force to [member="Crystal"] and [member="Loxa Visl"]. We may have a more exact location on the Bishop. A surveillance flight has been dispatched now...[member="Zoey Marix"] may be on the run.

 

[Garza]

With many things moving so fast. I had to move back into the hole a little as a ship came down into the mountain hold. It was clearly a Moross Crusade ship from is very "Alien" look. As I was trying to scoot back I slammed my head like an Idiot. I was dazed for a moment and rubbed the back of my head. Looking down into the crash, I thought there might have been a better signal. Slowly moving down the slope, even with fuzzy vision, I needed to get down there and help those people in the ship. I could feel someone in the force. Familiar to me, I was sure that the friendly feline @Piraiba. I shook my head and well. At the smallest of movements. I fell.

As much as I was some great Knight of the force. I was kind of a dummy. Not to make it better with my vision. I tried to right myself using telekinesis to slow my decent at least somewhat. best I could do with such little focus at the time? Stop myself from ramming into a building and just rolling a few more feet. Looking to my left and right when I sat up. I was dizzy and already hearing yells that were headed towards me, and away from me. Looks like I had company.

Moving to my hands and knees, and finally to crawl my way into the building over. I closed the door and heaved a sigh. Only to hear a round of guns clicking. Turning to look at them, it was a group of four. I know this is kind of clique, but the ceiling and roof above them had a very nice decoration for me to pull on. A click of one of the chain links, and it came crashing down on them.

And I sighed again.

[Blackthorne]

The Priestess remained silent as the ringing in her ears slowly subsided. Around her everyone seemed to converge and before she knew it two more teams had joined them. So much for collaborating a split search. Patiently the woman listened as new intel arrived via Deimos Vorru and within her mind from Crusader Centurion. She took a moment to shut her eyes, slow her breathing, and clear her thoughts. By the time she had centered herself, the Deimos was moving out alongside the Reapers, deeper into the mines.

That was not the direction of the Bishop.

Loxa turned to [member="Crystal"], "I must retrack my route to the Bishop, to this crash site. Join me, sister, for we travel open and dangerous land."

Without waiting another moment, Priestess Visl turned and redirected her team back out of the mine and into the open. Their dropship waited on the grounds, but it with the threat of another mental attack from the machine it wasn't safe to consider. Grey smoke on the horizon marked their destination of the crash site.

[Piraiba]

Piraiba could sense the Bishop moving closer and then suddenly further away when the woman had fallen down more of the mountain slope. Soon he caught his breath and pushed himself up to follow. The feline's dropship having crashed was a great fright, but height and treacherous terrain alone was of no obstacle. The Togorian effortless jumped from rockface to rockface as he scaled his way down to the small outpost that Zoey seemingly rolled into.

There were soldiers patroling looking for the intruder that has just ducked into one of the outpost's rooms. Piraiba ran into two of them on his way to Zoey. Trampling or stampeding might have been a more accurate way to describe it though as the 800 pound beast ran them down.

Then a thud came at the door by the Bishop moments after she had dispatched her assailants with the ol' falling chandelier trick. The door shuddered only once more from impact before it gave way to her feline compatriot. Ironically the Togorian could only look through the doorway in at Zoey due to it being to small to emit him.

"Piraiba has found you, beautiful little sister! Is this the second or third time," inquired his big booming voice with a hearty chuckle. The feline crusader then pulled out his comm link to report. "Piraiba has the Bishop. She is safe. Transmitting coordinates now."

Zoey Marix was indeed finally safe ... or was she?

Piraiba turned suddenly due to a clicking sound he had just heard behind him. One of the enemy soldiers had dropped down to a knee with what appeared to be some kind of shoulder mounted weapon like a rocket launcher. Only it was a blinding bright light that came out instead of an explosive. The feline fell to his knees in agony as the same screeching sound that had effected the other crusaders within the mine shafts now hit him in full force. Only this time the interference from the machine was directional and fully focused at a single being.

The Sith Knight collapsed to his hands and knees. The intense pain made him roar out in desperation. He was only able to clench his over sized communicator for a couple moments longer. It was just enough time to finish the coordinates and utter out one last command for Zoey and also likely for Loxa's team who were on their way.


"RUUUUUUUNNN!"


Everything went dark for a few seconds. Unfortunately the eyes that opened afterward were not controlled by Piraiba any longer.

[TLDR Version in OOC Thread]

 

[Cat Van-Derveld]

Alarms across the Moross fleet began to sound as they detected a ship emerging from Hyperspace about five hundred kilometers from their positions. The ship was quickly established to be a friendly, thanks in no small part to the message broadcast on the factions encrypted frequencies.

"This is Moross Disciple Cat Van-Derveld, in command of the Ardent-Class Frigate 'Devourer's Herald', to all Moross forces. We have entered the system and are making our way to your location. Requesting a situation report."

Sure enough, the comm-techs were soon shouting out various pieces of information to their officers, who in turn relayed them to the ships Captain. After a few minutes, the Captain had gathered all the necessary reports and informed the Sith Knight who stood looking out of the bridges viewport, a sole beacon of silence amid the chaos.

"I'm going down there, Captain," Cat said quietly, moving to put his tight-fitting helm upon his head in order to protect him from the affects of the mysterious machine.

"Sir, there is a no fly zone in effect in the area."

"I am well aware of this, Captain. I'm not going to sit here and wait for our comrades to die," The Sith snarled, "Now do we have a shuttle prepared?"

"Yes, sir, hangar bays one and two have all our shuttles prepared. Our ground forces are boarding now."

"Leave one of them free for me."

"Yes, sir."

With that, Cat turned sharply and made his way to the elevator, checking his knife and lightsaber were secured to his belt properly. By the time he reached the hangar, the Herald was nearly directly above the co-ordinates that [member="Piraiba"] had transmitted. On his personal comm-link, he replayed the felines final message over and over, hearing the screech that preceded his last command. Time was, most definitely, of the essence. Sprinting to the waiting shuttle, the hatch slammed shut behind him and they tore out into the darkness. During the flight, he contemplated the fact that it was probably the first time he would meet the majority of his comrades, having joined the faction in relative secrecy. Only a few of the higher ranking members of the Crusade knew him, so today was a chance to make an impression. Muttering frantic prayers to Erebos, his arms crossed over his chest, he savored the thought of the violence to come.

"Relay a message to all shuttles. All ground forces are to secure an LZ at the edge of the no-fly zone. We'll need somewhere to evac from if this doesn't go well."

"Copy that, sir," the pilot replied, firing off the message within seconds.

"Get me right above those co-ordinates, as high as you need to be to avoid that machine."

"Erebos' maw, sir... you're really going to...?"

Without answering, Cat opened the rear hatch of the shuttle and hurled himself out. Were his face not covered, the pilot would have seen a devilish grin upon the Disciples face. As he fell through the air and his adrenaline started to spike, he summoned the memories of pain and suffering that fueled his ever present connection to the Dark Side of the Force, feeling it begin to boil through his veins like liquid fire. His cold blue eyes darkened till they were blacker than the Void as he used the Force to slow him his descent and right himself, falling feet first now.

He was still falling far too fast as he neared the mountainside, so he aimed a violent Force Push at the ground just before he landed, which slowed him just enough. His shins vibrated painfully with the impact, his ankles threatening to give way, but he managed to hold himself together. What pain there was he allowed to fuel him as his eyes scanned for [member="Zoey Marix"] and her feline 'rescuer'. Sure enough, he spotted them just down the mountainside and set off at a sprint, drawing his crimson bladed lightsaber and igniting it in the process.

 

[Siara Vorru]

Shrugging just slightly as Loxa opted to recruit Crystal instead leaving [member="Sephoria Lasranae"] and her team to proceed alone the mercenary decided to send her team on with [member="Loxa Visl"] and [member="Crystal"]. They could play escort and Siara would join the search for the obviously broken giant headache machine. She didn’t like it when force users did anything involving her mind, she certainly wasn’t keen on a broken machine trying to scramble her circuitry to turn her against her own forces. It wasn’t that she wasn’t confident in her ability to kill a Crusader or ten if she had or any kind of loyalty to the cause, the credits were good and these pirates were fools. It was a personal rule of hers not to work for fools, fools got you killed with their greed or their lust or their stupidity.

“Well if they are going to go look for the Bishop then as long as you do not mind an extra team member I’ll join your team.” Siara didn’t wait for an answer, she didn’t really care if Sephoria approved or not.

 

[Ashra'syle'nuruodo]

Picking herself out the debris of the half destroyed vessel [member="Piraiba"] and she had descended so roughly in Ashra’syle’nuruodo felt the pain of the soldiers that were dying around her they had not been as fortunate either impaled or crushed by something large, or by the large form of Piraiba. She why the gods always opted to spare her life in some sort of horrific crash. Of course she knew now that they had given her the powers to do but it was still their will that they survive when others did not. She coughed and climbed out of the back of the crashed shuttle through the rear hatch the large Togorian had removed so forcefully just in time to see him being assaulted by a weapon she could not identify on the shoulder of a nearby enemy soldier.

Reaching out with the force she grabbed the man by the back of his armor and hauled him to the ground but it was too late the Togorian had already been hit and was ordering [member="Zoey Marix"] to run. Something about the presence of her companion told her the big being was not himself and that was especially apparent when he finally opened his eyes. Asylen drew her training saber not knowing what it could possibly do to help her if [member="Piraiba"] attacked but she trusted the gods to protect her and prayed they would give her some assistance.

Moments later as if an answer to her silent prayer another Crusader, one whose presence the Chiss didn’t recognize crashed into the hillside above them and started sprinting down towards them drawing a lightsaber, at least the odds were improving. Asylen drew on the pain of the troopers dying around her to provide herself strength, reveling in their pain as it empowered her and emboldened her. She knew that the large Togorian was more than a match for her but she could distract him at least. She gave a tug using the force on his fur to get his attention as she got ready to retreat.

[member="Cat Van-Derveld"]

 

[Crystal]

Crystal hadn't gotten very far when [member="Loxa Visl"] spoke. She turned her head to listen, then nodded. "Alright, lead the way," she gestured for her to take over then followed the lead, followed by [member="Siara Vorru"] and her team. Well, at least there would be enough of them to get a few shots at the machine before it made all of their brains explode.

It was nice to be in the open again. But the sight of smoke was not a comforting sight. "Oh shoot, we missed the explosion." She commented, disappointed. "I didn't feel a void though, so they are probably still alive." Well, some of them anyway.

But they were off like a herd of turtles. Or Banthas, or something, because they can't arrive instantly and spoil all the fun for [member="Zoey Marix"] and @Piraiba.

 

[Garza]

With my body still leaning against the closed door, I heard the sounds of a very heavy being looking up it was kind of fuzzy and large. I smiled as it was the big kitty o mine [member="Piraiba"], I reached my arm up shaking my index finger, "No no no, just because you saved me twice now and I you once does not mean I owe you-" I was cut off as shots fired out from the shoulder canon and hit the back of the large feline. I shook my head. My vision was returning slowly but surely. it was then that the Kitty yelled at me to run. I looked as the Acolyte that was with the large feline drew her saber. Training saber as I had one just like it myself. But instead I activated my shield and picked up my beskad and pushed up with my legs against the wall when I could hear boots running behind me.

I looked for a second to see a man running towards us. I shook my head. and held out my hand for a second for him to stop, "Wait let me deal with this a second." it was with a sudden change that Piribas eye's opened and I could see the hate and rage burning within them. I then thrust my left hand forward to try and grab onto his head with the force, and to keep him down and from attacking anyone else.

I just went from being rescued to fighting one of my friends. Out of all of this, I hoped that we all could survive.

[member="Crystal"], [member="Ashra'syle'nuruodo"], [member="Cat Van-Derveld"],

 

[Piraiba]

Piraiba looked back at [member="Ashra'syle'nuruodo"] wildly when the Acolyte pulled at the bristling fur on the back of his neck with the force. Then [member="Zoey Marix"] 's power pushed his head down as [member="Cat Van-Derveld"] landed down in the distance and was running up. The Togorian could hear Zoey trying to diffuse the situation.

Truthfully the cat was fond of the Bishop. In the Demongate mission he had embraced her to use his own flesh as a shield when the room they were in collapsed. Something in the cat's mind identified her voice and fought against the walls of mind control. The creature's throat rumbled in a deep growl as he clenched the dirt under his hands. His whole body visibly trembled under the struggle.


"Zoey," came his soft response. It was just a flash of familiarity like the eye of the storm before hell broke loose again. The brain control shut back into place as the Togorian overpowered the Bishop's force grip on his head. He jumped to his feet and stood at his full height of ten feet before releasing a blood curdling roar that shook the nearby wall like a sub-woofer.

Ashra'syle'nuruodo was closest and became the first target of his rage. Many opponents assumed the feline to be slow due to his size and weight. His stamina was questionable, but burst speed was inhumanly exceptional. Like a fearsome lion running down a gazelle, the Togorian leapt forward and cleared the gap between them almost instantly. One of Piraiba's two lightsabers found its way into his hand as the white blade ignited.

The Sith Knight's saber was almost twice the length of the average variant. It came down in a diagonal swing motion over the Chiss with the beast's overwhelming strength behind it.

 

[Cameron Centurion]

Cameron remained silent as he merely listened to the radio traffic. It seemed as if people were rapidly beginning to materialize in the system and around the area. Despite orders, there were those that chose to blaze their own trail in an attempt to do...something. What, he did not know. Rubbing his temples, the Sith Lord exhaled softly as he did the calculations in his mind. Right now, there was an abundance of resources all converging on one point to rescue one person. So...if this was part of some coordinated, complex plan to eliminate a large swath of Moross forces at once. Those jumping into the fray to play the hero were performing their role wonderfully.

His irritation peaked only slightly as his silver-green gaze turned to the technician seated to his right. "Lock down all exits and entrances to this facility." If Zoey had in fact escaped the facility into the surrounding wilderness as reports suggested, the 'search' effort as far as the Mask of Aatrox was concerned...was done.

Switching to a different frequency, he retasked the other assault shuttles that had been originally deployed to specific camps on perimeter security. "All units push to primary." A flurry of responses were heard over the command frequency as Cameron waited. Given the short travel distance, the assets arrived in pre-determined positions in less than five minutes. Once all teams reported readiness to initiate the assault on the mining facility, Cameron nodded to the technician seated near him once more. "Unsecure the pre-determined entrances. Teams will post their own security. Have we uploaded the schematics to team leaders and assistant team leaders?"

"Negative, sir. I pushed them to all team members."

Cameron merely smiled. "Be sure to patch the information about the assault to Deimos [member="Siara Vorru"]. Inform her we'll keep sweep forces deconflicted from her unit's current objective." The assault forces that were entering the facility now had only one purpose. Kill everyone that did not swear allegiance to the Crusade. Cameron was ready to leave this pathetic world.

 

[Ashra'syle'nuruodo]

Getting exactly the reaction she wanted Ashra’syle’nuruodo attempted to retreat but the big Togorian was on her before she could really even move. He was much faster than she expected but there was no doubt she was the more agile between them, his large muscles and even larger overall stature wouldn’t allow him the mobility she had. Drawing on the pain of those dying around her strengthened the Chiss woman but nowhere near enough to stand toe to toe with the larger being he no doubt had a great deal more strength then she did. She left her other lightsaber clipped to her belt for now, she needed wear the big beast down enough that someone could disable him in some way before he hurt himself or someone else, specifically her.

Watching the larger than normal blade activate the Chiss woman ducked and rolled to the right as the blade came down on a diagonal towards her own blade swinging towards the big Togorians’ right knee as she rose up and tried to launch herself behind him. Her movements were quick and fluid, for now they were just what she was capable of without drawing on the force. She wanted to stay close enough that she could keep dodging around him keeping him spinning around to react to her but at the same time far enough away that he would have difficulty simply grabbing hold of her because if he got close enough he would have enough power in his one arm to crush her like a bug. It was going to be a tough balance to strike but the thrill of the danger it presented caused Asylen to smile, so far she was enjoying herself.

[member="Piraiba"]

 

[Garza]

This was not good.

[member="Piraiba"], a good ten feet tall probably over a good eight hundred pounds in weight was charging at the first target he could come to. But his eyes. Those eyes that I looked at when he spoke my name told me that he was still fighting inside. Still wanting to get out. Something within the shot that hit him in the back caused him to go into a rage. No way of knowing for sure. but I was not going to stand idly by. As the apprentice moved around getting Piraiba to move in circles, I smiled greatly. Running towards the feline, I dropped my beskad and let my shield turn off as I jumped on his back. Hey it's not like the first time I got into a grabbing/fist fight with someone this. I did it against a fething god.

I had jumped with the aid of the force just enough to reach up around the creatures neck. Attempting to wrap my hands around him and using my weight as a counter balance, or simply to choke him out long enough to make him pass out. not to kill him. and once I got a hold of him, I knew I could not let go for the fear of him killing us all.

[Blackthorne]

En route across the open, rocky terrain of the planet's surface with the bulk of the mountain rising up before them, Loxa slowed to a stop as further reports came in over her comm. Another ship had landed, the Bishop had been found and was alive, reinforcements were arriving. Her mission, as it were, seemed to have been handled. She turned to speak with Crystal but was suddenly cut off by the sound of blaster fire.

A line of mine workers and pirates had arrived, perhaps driven from the mines or here to make one last valiant stand. Blast bolts seared through the air around them and Loxa dropped for cover as her team and those of Siara's moved to form a perimeter and fight back.

"Priestess Visl to command," she spoke into her comm, "we are taking heavy fire. Is the Bishop secure?"

[member="Cameron Centurion"]
[member="Crystal"]

 

[Sephoria Lasranae]

Siara continued to amuse Sephoria. Then again the Cronos had been around similarly minded mercs for a good portion of her life. You might even say that they had made up her extended family. The big difference was that Siara was in it for the money while Sephoria had always done it to see the streets run red with blood. Credits were just a tool to buy more tools to paint with said blood. Well ... maybe there were a few more screws loose in the Garhoon's head, but the ultimate principals didn't stray far from mercenary to mercenary.


Joining the crusade had been the turning point that made her drop the title of mercenary. This wasn't just the next meal ticket for Lasranae. The teachings of the Erebos cult really struck a cord in her heart. After all Seph had considered herself to be the very definition of consumption and destruction. Here was a religion that preached her core values!

"Good, at least you're not wasting your time on one woman like the others. Reaper directive is pleasantly clear. I'm going for the machine and killing anyone along the way. Add channel 1238 to your comm frequencies. I have some shadows scouting ahead. Try to keep up," responded the black armor clad woman to her new mercenary companion before she started to jog ahead.

A few minutes later a message came over the Reaper radio frequency. "Lasranae, take a left on the first fork. We've found some massive power lines and a reinforced bunker door. Rook is working on splicing it now."


[member="Siara Vorru"]

 

[Siara Vorru]

Tuning her comm to the provided channel Siara smirked at the concept that she would have difficulty keeping up she was more then capable of keeping pace despite her injure shoulder. She followed the other woman at a jog, wincing as each step bounced her shoulder around reminding she wasn't one hundred percent at the moment. She followed deeper into the complex her blaster pistol out and ready to shoot anything that wasn't Moross. As the made their way deeper they approached a fork in the new instructions from the surface scrolled across the bottom of her HUD informing her what the rest of the assault forces were up to at the same time members [member="Sephoria Lasranae"]s' team were reporting their findings up ahead. The mercenary woman slowed her pace as they approached the fork hearing something from the right tunnel she signaled the larger woman by tapping her comm as she also signaled down the tunnel with her blaster. She knew something was approaching apparently trying to flank the people trying to bypass the security on the door down the tunnel to the left which was apparently the scouts dispatched by Sephoria.


Keeping to the left of the cavern the mercenary approached a bend in the tunnel she could see enemy mercenaries walking lazily up the tunnel not prepared at all their weapons carried lazily at their sides. Some of them even using the weapons as an improvised walking stick she shook her head at the complete disorganization of this enemy force. It was a wonder no one hadn't tried to tackle this planet sooner it was such a soft target. Putting her blaster into its holster she detached a grenade from her belt holding it up for any of the Reapers to see so they would be aware of her intention. She activated the grenade and rolled it down the tunnel towards the approaching mercenaries stepping back into cover and waiting for mayhem to break loose.

 

[Cameron Centurion]

Once the final incursion had begun, Cameron clapped the tech on the shoulder. "Everything wiped?"

The man nodded his head with a final keystroke. "All set, Lord Centurion."

"Good, let's get out of here." Within the next five minutes, Cameron exited the security control room and walked out the entrance they'd used during the initial assault. Breathing evenly through his protective mask, Cameron turned his silver-green eyes briefly to the horizon. The operation itself was...certainly by no means done, but Cameron felt as though his...assistance had run its course. He had just grasped a rung of the waiting shuttle's cargo bay when he heard Priestess [member="Loxa Visl"]'s call over the radio.

Sighing slightly, Cameron shook his head before speaking to the crew chief over the whine of the engines. "We need to go east. Lock in on..." The Sith Lord briefly pulled out a datapad that contained tracking frequencies for the key units assigned to the operation. Showing it to the crew chief, he concluded. "There. We need to go there. They're taking heavy fire so just...get me close. Don't bother landing." Having worked with Cameron in the past, the man merely smiled with a nod as he went to relay the information to the flight crew.

As the shuttle lifted off, Cameron tapped his earpiece communicator. "Hold on Visl. I'm inbound. Also. Secure is not the word I would use for the Damsel's status." The operating area was not terribly large, so Cameron's transmission ended just as the crew chief motioned to him they were nearing the drop area. Allowing his feelings to stretch forth, the Sith Lord glanced out the side of the cargo bay at the wooded landscape below. "Keep 'er warm boys." With that, Cameron flung himself over the side and plummeted towards the ground. For a few seconds he merely allowed gravity to take a hold of him.

As the tops of trees drew closer, Cameron arrayed his hands below him, allowing his senses to guide his attack. Several precise blasts of Kinetite ranging in size to deal with the threat erupted from his palms and collapsed on the forces advancing on Loxa and Crystal's position. The attack also had the resultant effect of slowing down his descent rather rapidly. Manipulating the Force gingerly the remainder of his way down, Cameron landed some ten to fifteen feet from the two women. Silver-green eyes swept immediately to their direction, any facial expression he might have had was obscured by the mask he wore. "I like pie if you're into showing your appreciation."

[member="Crystal"]

 

[Crystal]

Crystal turned back to look at [member="Loxa Visl"], and noted that she was suddenly speechless. And then the blaster fire came. Time to take cover. No sense in getting shot at. And Loxa was on her communicator. Excellent. That meant all would be right with them again soon.

[member="Cameron Centurion"] came in like a wrecking ball. Or something. And then said something about pie. Her ears were ringing a little bit so things weren’t as clear as they could be. “Pie,” she repeated. “So, what’s happening with the damsel now? Are we done here or what?”
