ARCADIA-N-30
GRAND SPACEPORT
CIVILIAN YACHT 'MERCY ME'

Spoiler

The Lantallian GX-class Executive Transport Mercy Me dominated the private docking bay at the edge of the spaceport. ORC intelligence reports indicated it belonged to a cover identity for the Sith marauder Velok. Preliminary surveillance confirmed the presence of battle droids, and of something deadlier: Tuk'ata Sith Hounds walking on two legs and carrying weapons. The Dark Side was strong around the Mercy Me.


The Sith had conquered Dromund Kaas. Apparently, Velok was busy elsewhere.

An ORC crew cracked open the central boarding ramp and promptly died. Their deaths, however, made the locations of the anti-intruder traps blatantly obvious to the backup team: a ragtag band of new recruits and old hands, cobbled together to handle the situation.

NOTABLE LOOT​

One holocron, Executive Suite​

One set of starship blueprints, Passenger Lounge​

One advanced medical droid, Medbay​

One acid-shooting rifle with a corkscrew vibroblade bayonet, forward Crew Bunk​

One advanced tool kit, Engineer's Quarters​

Advanced starship components, Engineering​

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

Bryce had told me that there'd be opportunities to test my mettle and prove my worth to the ORC but I was honestly just looking to get a leg up on the competition out in the verse. If I could impress other members of the ORC specifically anyone with ties to the Mandalorians all the better. After seeing the droids, Sithspawn, and then the first team just up and die I was a tad concerned with other potential traps. Grabbing the weapons I had and pulling a sword I'd picked up recently from its sheathe I made my way towards the ship. As I made my way towards the open ramp I realized while the anti-intrusion devices had gone off I could actually short power to sections of the ship. Doing so would no doubt grab the attention of the remaining guards but I figured what the heck?

Climbing up into the opening of the ship I went for an access panel and began working on downloading the ship schematics and beginning a power loop that'd short out sections of the ship one at a time when I triggered the command. Thinking about it if there were backup security systems or traps perhaps the first section of the ship that'd have to go down would be engineering. But I only needed power down in the passenger lounge. Having downloaded the schematics I saw that there was actually food in there along with probably a few notable things I could make off with. Well, kark it! Targeting the lounge with the feedback loop I triggered the command and walking through the doors got to work...

 

[Derin Kall]

LOCATION: ARCADIA-N-30
GRAND SPACEPORT


Being a newly escaped slave was hard in a harsh galaxy such as the one everyone here lived in. He hadn't introduced himself to any of the other new recruits into the Outer Rim Coalition, so he was basically the outcast until he proved himself to be something more than the guy with a scorch mark on his left eye. While deep in mid thought once more, he found himself falling slowly asleep. His eyes began to get heavier... and heavier.... and heavier...

"This is deck officer Rolan Charr to all available units that can respond! We've lost one of our own crews due to hostile infantrymen! They appear to be heavily armed... they're... they're beasts! There's battle droids and more! We need immediate assistance at my location! *static and transmission cut*."

Derin's eyes were suddenly no longer as heavy and he gained a sense of alertness, grabbing his newly purchased staff that was capable of deflecting blaster bolts and firing them itself. It was all he had, but he could pay a visit by the armory at a later date, or right now. He shot up to his feet and grabbed the staff, holding it with one hand behind him as he exited his temporary quarters to run towards the hangar bay where the conflict had originated. There was something more than battledroids here..... he sensed it. Chaos rose within the hallways surrounding his quarters. He had no idea where he was going due to his lack of knowledge of the spaceport's layout, so he followed the few men on their way to help undermine the severity of the situation. He didn't have a blaster yet... And he was wondering how he'd defend these spaceport and push onto the ship, but one of the guards had luckily dropped a heavy blaster pistol! It would have to do for now, but he would soon have to learn to use a blaster rifle properly.

He eventually found his way to the doors of the hangar bay, and as they slowly opened up to the overwatch decks above, chaos was everywhere. He and the few other new recruits had been informed that there were anti-intruder traps aboard, so entering through the crawlspaces was most likely not an option. Eventually a blaster bolt shot had passed his shoulder and he had scrambled to cover. Surveying the area, it seemed a few battledroids had been deployed and that was it, but there was definitely more to expect. The people on this 'civilian craft' had malicious intent and he was sure of it, and they wouldn't have executed their plan with a few battledroids. He peeked out of cover and fired the pistol at a few droids about 5 times, taking down two or so. Derin was still atop the overwatch ramps, so he ran out of cover to eventually climb his way on top of the civilian craft where he could fire down at the droids from inside.

[Mascoo]

"A beast worthy for the hunt"
Sakka said as he sensed a powerful force inside of the ship. He was riding with his pet Melty and was slowly approaching the said rendezvous point.
Chaos was already happening at the entrance of the ship. Droids firing to maybe the ORC units he was suppose to regroup.
He sees a small group of droids coming from the side to flank the opposition. He quickly altered the direction of Melty to attacked the small group from the side.
approximately 100 meters away from the group, on a hillside, to get a better vintage view, he gets down from Melty prep up his equipment. His trusted Rifle on his side and his naginata on his back, he was now ready for some action.
"Melty, Spit on them" He instructed as he pointed to the small group. Melty quickly run like a hungry dog chasing down a food.
Sakka was now crouching at the top of the small hill.
'Who has the high ground now'
he jokes to himself as he is now on a perfect position.
He now looks unto the scope of his rifle and sees the Five targets who has now about to fire to his allies.
Sakka took a deep breath, and pulled the trigger.
A miss, he only grazed the head of the droid.
'Oh shit' he said and quickly fires another round.
This time it now hits the target but the other droid noticed him now and tries to find cover for him.
Luckily Melty was now near and fired a sticky ooze and hits three of them at once.
The last one run into the group ORCs to get some kills before he was killed but the group already noticed the droid and was shut down immediately.
Sakka waves into the group signalling he's one of them then started jogging towards the tangled droids to finished them off.
He approaches Melty to pet him for his good job then said he can now eat the droids. Melty grabs the killed droids and dragged them off to a safe place to eat.
Sakka then regrouped up with his allies, shooting some droids on the way.
"Sakka a hunter here and new to the ORCs. What's the situation here?"

 

[Jim Pehico]

Location: Arcadia-N-30 Grand Space Port. Time: Present.

Jim didn't believe that his name was being called he expected to be a simple "Be the back-up while the pros get the job done." Jim was sipping his lum out of a flask when suddenly he got a transmission on his comlink.

"This is deck officer Rolan Charr to all available units that can respond! We've lost one of our own crews due to hostile infantrymen! They appear to be heavily armed... they're... they're beasts! There's battle droids and more! We need immediate assistance at my location! *static and transmission cut*."

​"Bloody Hell," Jim thought as he chugged the rest of his lum, sure he was slightly buzzed but he was still fully fuctional.

Jim grabbed his blaster and a special treat he had bought off the black market from his homeworld, a Gungan Personal Energy shield. He puts it in his back. Just in case a sith appears later, he thought, knowing that force lightning can be absorbed by the shield. Jim was at the frontline of the assault. Jim saw one recruit book inside an opening of the ship and the other Jump on top.

​"Show offs," Jim thought to himself, sure he could easily do something flashy of that nature or he could set an example for the other troops, and make sure the men out here didn't die.

​Behind the cover of crates that were supposed to being moved on the ship, Jim and the rest of the back-ups remained behind the cover of crates and cargo from Mercy Me.​ This slightly reminded him of the Theed hangar simulations he used to practice on Naboo, so long ago.

Location: Royal Navy Academy, Naboo, Time: Years Ago...

The old hangar was empty besides several deactivated droids and a group of people.

"Even though you're all pilots, you need to be prepared if the Hangar is compromised." The drill sergeant used to say. "That's why we almost lost against the droids during the invasion of Naboo." The old drill instructor reminisced. Jim always wondered if he was involved in the battle. "Anyways. PRIVATE PEHICO!" the drill sergeant said over-exaggerating the pronunciation of his name.

​"Stand forward, maggot." The drill sergeant said, always going out of the way to pick on Jim. "Now Private Pehico, do you think you have the gonads to take on these droids!?" the drill sergeant yelled spitting and pointing towards the outdated droids.

​"SIR, YES, SIR!" Jim yelled standing straight.

​"We'll see. We might make a pilot out of you yet, Pehico." The drill sergeant said smiling maniacally. The drill sergeant called 3 others to accompany Jim on the simulation.

​"You'll have 5 minutes to get into your ships. If one of you get shot, then your team is DISQUALIFIED. If even one of you do not make it to your ships in time, then your team is DISQUALIFIED. Got it? First team. You're up." The drill sergeant said getting a safe distance away.

The team got ready at the entrance of the hangar.

"Go!" The Drill Sergeant yelled. Eager to prove himself Jim was always handy with a blaster. He ran ahead of his team. after tucking and rolling and shooting a couple battle droids. Jim got into his ship with ease. However when he looked closer to the entrance. His whole team was captured.

The drill sergeant walked onto the simulation floor furiously "KARKIN' HELL, PEHICO! WHAT IN THE BLAZES WAS THAT?? WHAT ABOUT YOUR TEAM? DID YOU TRULY THINK YOU COULD TAKE ON THE WHOLE TRADE FEDERATION YOURSELF PEHICO!?!?!"

Jim thought about this for a second, they were only droids after all.

"Look, talent will only take you so far in this galaxy. Just set an example for your men Jim, be a leader! Disqualified, Next Team Up!" The Drill Sergeant said turning his back on Jim, as did the rest of his teammates as they walked off the simulation floor in defeat.

Location: Arcadia-N-30 Grand Space Port. Time: Present.

Jim heard the drill sergeant in his head. "Just set an example for your men Jim, be a leader!".

Jim decided it was time to do that. He activated his personal energy shield and began using it as a riot shield as he moved forward slowly so did other members of the ORC. Jim destroyed multiple battle droids as he moved onward.. If only he was a slicer so he could just switch their targeting from us, to those karking Tuk'atas. As he moved forward, he yelled back at the other ORC recruits.

"Do you think they have a mini bar on this thing? I'd literally kill for some lum." he said smirking as his shield absorbed the enemies blaster fire.

[Derin Kall]

While on top of the ship Derin thought back into the past, thinking about his life as a slave. He remembered his mother, his friends. They were all eventually slaughtered, like animals in an attempt to escape. He remembered the face of the man that gave him the scorch mark on his eye that now defines him. It was not only a large, terrible burn... But instead it was a thought back to the past, showing him that he needed to continue doing what he planned to do, and he didn't know what he planned to do yet. These thoughts not only brought back bad memories, but they brought to Derin anger, and hatred for anyone that stood in his path, and like that, he found himself quickly sliding down the side of the ship into what seemed to be a small squad of droids, luckily he ended up behind them. With about a second after landing on his feet behind the droids he took his staff and swept them all off of their feet and blasted them one by one with he powerful blaster built into the staff. After eliminating this whole squad he moved on.

The staff he recently bought from some droid was capable of deflecting blaster bolts and was resistant to lightsabers, but he hadn't trained with it yet and didn't want to experiment and end up getting shot, or dying. After most of the droids that had been deployed were cleared out, Derin advanced to the ramp at the front of the ship. Luckily, ORC intelligence had sent the layout for the ship through the communications network and he new exactly what the ship looked like on the inside, where every room was, and more. As he walked up the ramp, one of the ORC security team members pointed out something on Derin's abdomen.

"Look! Something is on your stomach, sir." he said, and then moved on.

Derin placed a hand on his stomach and looked down as he saw blood on his fingers, apparently he was cut while sliding down the side of the civilian ship... or he was cut by the metal on one of he battledroids. He didnt feel it until he touched it, which released a painful sting, but his rage overcame his sharp pain in the stomach, and he waited to advance into the ship as the traps were disabled.. he needed to find the medical bay as soon as possible once the two beasts were defeated..

[Andorreth Vikar]

Once I'd cut power to the lounge I pulled on my helmet and flicked on the the lights on my helmet. Going into the lounge I quickly scanned the area and after looking around through my HUD I saw what appeared to be a datapad. Heading over I picked it up and after looking through the contents I saw that there were what appeared to be starship blueprints and notes on how to modify the design of what appeared to be an armored freighter. Pocketing the datapad I started to go through the rest of the ship until I heard weapons fire and snarls that couldn't be human.

Ohhh....Fierfeck'la Osik! I thought the first team had cleared the way! Now I realized that the droids and other assorted nasties were outside the ship and the rest of the ORC squad was outside. More than that though it was only luck that'd gotten me this far....sighing I pulled up the schematics for the ship and headed to the turret. Heading into the seat I powered up the turret and began a targeting sequence for both battle droids, and other things that weren't smugglers. As I opened the shutter to look at the landing area I saw the Sithspawn. Oh....great. Speaking over the comms I said "Anyone need some fire support?" Then targeting one of the Sithspawn crawling on the ship I started blasting. This was where the fun began...

[Leo Vandermolen]

The Mercy Me was a luxurious ship to say the least. But it was a facade to conceal its true nature, Leo could sense the dark energies radiating from within as the team had approached the landing docks. "Careful in that thing." He reminded [member="Andorreth Vikar"] . "We may know the layout of the ship, but we don't know its inhabitants." Leo had been assigned as team leader on the job, looking after the recruits and making sure they didn't get them selves killed. They were a competent bunch, clearing out the droids outside the ship with relative ease.

"Don't waste this opportunity." He addressed his squad, "Good men died to get us those reports, and even more died getting us in." The chill in air bit at Leo's grim face as he turned to face another recruit running down from a vantage point.

"Evenin' Sakka, welcome to your first day on the job." He chided, "The ORC has attained reports that this ship belongs to one [member="Velok the Younger"], a pretty nasty Sith knight. But he's not present, so our job is to get in, retrieve any valuable data, and get out. Capiche?"

With the initial security droids out of the way, the team could follow inside, where the greater danger lay. "Alright everyone, on me. Watch your backs. [member="Derin Kall"] and Sakka, use your force sensitivity with me to scan for hostiles and traps. Jim, use your gunslingin to blast em' out of the water. Let's move." With that, Leo began to stalk toward the ship, his own blaster at the ready as he reached out with the force.

[Toph Graystone]

Toph could see everything from her small Vantage points outside of the hanger. She had managed to slice into the holidays cams, giving her a full view of the hanger and everything that was going on. When she was told that they would be breaking into a Sith Lords personal transport Toph couldn't help but to think gleefully of the many Treasures available. It was a good thing too because both jobs and credits we're starting to run dry. Unfortunately the young Miraluka saw a problem. While many of the base systems of the ship were easily accessible in the hanger, as had already been proven, Toph could not access some of the higher functions that were necessary for securing the ship completely. Not to mention the droids we're becoming an issue. She knew there was a way to repurpose the army of droids help against the Tuk'ata. But she knew that even stepping into the hangar would be like ringing The Dinner Bell for the force sensing hounds.

Still there was little choice in the matter. Without either repurposing or eliminating the droids no one was going to get out of that Hangar alive. With a slow sigh Toph packed up her datapad and check for the small Blaster at her side, not that it would be of much use to her. The slicer climb down from the scaffolding, dropping the last five feet in front of the hangar door. With one final curse she entered the code and dashed through one of the smaller pedestrian doors. Before her the transport loomed even bigger then it looked on her datapad. Scattered around the hangar where the various members of the team, minus Andorreth, who'd just appeared in a turret pod.

"Anone need some fire support?"

"Son of a.." Toph began to curse but was cut off by the boom boom of the turrets firing. One Tuk'ata was cut down in the fire but the others scattered faster than the turret could track. The sith hounds all turn towards the transport and began to reboard as the droids continued to hold the rest of the team. Toph snatched the comlink from her belts yelling into it as she approached the rest of the team, "Don't shoot the droids!"

Toph ran full tilt aiming for the access that Andorreth had used. "Here snowflake," as she ran past Jim Pehico Toph pulled a small box from one of her many pockets and tossed it to the team member. "Find the command Droid and attach this to it." As an after thought she shouted over her shoulder, "and don't destroy it." If Toph could get command of the droids it would put them at a 3 to 1 odds against the Tuk'ata. Far better chances then without.

[Derin Kall]

"Alright everyone, on me. Watch your backs. Derin Kall and Sakka, use your force sensitivity with me to scan for hostiles and traps. Jim, use your gunslingin' to blast em' out of the water. Let's move."

A demanding voice commanded me and whoever Sakka was, probably the one with the animal that eats droids to use our force sensitivities to seek out any traps and hostiles that may have been in the darkness of the so-called civilian ship. Force Sensitive? Was that what this was the whole time? This seeing things before they happened mess? It wasn't the time to think about this, but whoever this man was knew what he was doing, and Derin was just a young man.

As they climbed up the ramp, Derin removed his staff from his back, pointing it out forward in front of him to be able to blast anything in their path.. If whatever he sensed on this ship was some sort of creature.. the team had alot ahead of them. He couldn't see anything, but someone had a light on their helmet so the team could partially see everything going on inside of the vessel used as a facade to get hostiles into the space port. Most of the battle droids were gone, but there was something worse within that would take a whole team's effort to get rid of. Derin looked down to his stomach and placed a hand on it, blood was seeping into his robes and he could see the glimmer of the blood from the dim light within the 'civilian' ship.

Derin spoke to the group for the first time so far..

"I suggest we head towards the medbay... I've got a bad wound on my stomach that needs to be treated..." he said, with a little bit of shakiness in his voice. [member="Leo Vandermolen"]

Waiting for a response, he returned to focusing on more traps and enemies inside of the vessel as they cleared it.

[Andorreth Vikar]

I saw a figure dart out of the hangar and paused for a moment after blasting the tuk'ata. Then I heard her shout through the comms don't blast the droids. Ahhhh a slicer then, as she hopped about tossing some kind of box to Jim I paused for another second and after breathing I flicked open my eyes to see two of the Sith spawn crawling towards Jim. Without even thinking I pulled the trigger in two short bursts catching both critters in the legs then with another two short bursts I hit them center mass. Leo had warned me to be careful of what could be aboard the ship. I'd been fairly lucky so far but I didn't want to tempt fate after clearing the two Sith spawn from Jim I disengaged the turret and slid back down the ladder to head back to the cargo hold. While the girl got aboard I'd look for any different weapons I could find in cargo. This was a Sith ship after all, drawing my blade I felt what seemed like an echo through The Force....

Bryce had mentioned I had a gift but I'd only ever used it with gambling on Triple Zero. "Andorreth...ahhh yes we've met before though you don't remember it. You have The Force, and also the honor of wielding a blade when most of your profession use blaster and other weapons. You have things to do now but meet me on Nar Shadaa. Let The Force guide you to which cantina, and ask around for The Firedancer. Good luck Andorreth and may the stars watch over you...." With that the contact ended and gasping I dropped to a knee, dropping my sword as I did.

What in the hell...? Filing away this for later I picked my sword back up and quickly checked several crates before finding one of the things from an era long past a set of Sith Lanvarok gauntlets, complete with the discs...Quickly strapping them to my forearms I closed up the crates and headed out into the main area of the ship disengaging the holographic image on my helm as I did. After this was all over I'd need a drink...and to try meditation....

[Leo Vandermolen]

The crew made their way through into the ship via the opened boarding ramp, the sounds of heavy boots clanging on metal followed Leo as he strode carefully towards the door in front of him. [member="Andorreth Vikar"] had cleared out the initial breaching area of droids and Tuk'ata hounds, but more were fast approaching. Leo gestured his team forward and took up a standard 'search and clear' procedure as he made his way into the passenger lounge. The emergency lights had been triggered upon the first team breaching the ship and the engines seemed to hum with anticipation despite being powered down.

Leo reached out, and found what he was looking for. A pair of Tuk'ata bounding toward the group. The firefight was quick, Leo shot to cover and opened up with his old Westar's, leaving a hole where one of the creature's head used to be. The other was felled in quite a similar manner to his partner, their smoking corpses scattered across the hall.

After making certain of no immediate threat, Leo moved toward the executive suite across the hallway. If any info was on this ship, it would be hidden somewhere there. Probably. Leo hammered the door control and looked back to the squad, "I'll search in here for any info we could use." He stated, "Cover the main lounge and search the smaller rooms. Be prepared for anything."

With that, he returned his gaze to the room before him, devoid of all life. He made his way inside and closed his eyes, focusing on anything that seemed out of place. Chit. Leo realised too late that the entire room itself was a trap, the entryway closing up into a force cage and trapping him inside. "Well..." Leo muttered, "This is fun."

That gorram Sith had taken more precautions that Leo had expected. At least this told him one thing, having this advanced a trap? There had to be something of value in this room. Leo began his search.

[B'kik]

B'kik was late to the fight and just landed his reve about half klick away from the fighting.
While he was flying his reve to the rendezvous point B'kik saw a force of atoonyoba heading to the port.
B'kik turned on his comms and yelled
"Atoonyoba reinforcements ko klicks behind us"
Once B'kik reve landed he quickly climbed ontop of it and went into a sniping position.
He knew by the time he got into 'Mercy Me' all the good dooka inside it would have been taken.
As soon as the atoonyoba reinforcements were visable B'kik started shooting at them with an Ion Disrupter.
Being the jawa B'kik is he decided to do something stereotypical jawas would do and yelled in the comms.
"UTINNI!!"

 

[Jim Pehico]

Just as Jim was finishing a battle droid off when suddenly he heard an "UTINNI!!" in his coms. This caused him to lose concentration.

"Damn it Jawa" He thought to himself, he then realized that the battle droid had gotten up and had his sights on him. it grabbed Jim's blaster and threw it away.

"​Any last words, organic?" ​The droid said. Jim reached for his holster containing his other gun.

​"Yea, How fast can you shoot," Jim said quickly drawing his gun and blasting the droid five times in the chest. well that oughta do for that.

​"Yea sorry Toph," Jim said over the comes

​Inside the ship, while people were looking around finding loot. Jim managed to get to the cockpit. He had found his capital ship.

​Jim went over to the loudspeaker and made an announcement "Ladies and gentlemen, This is you're NEW captain speaking. And may I present you the ORC's new capital ship, The Charmer, named after yours truly, of course. Anyways While some of you are defending the perimeter of this ship, I need a couple of you to make sure that sith scum can't track this baby." Jim said. It had seemed a trap was set off in the executive suite. "Hey who's in the executive suite. That's my new office!" Jim yelled slightly angry that people were already tearing apart his new ship. In the excitement he totally forgot to ask his commanding officer if he could keep it.

​"Hey boss, forgot to ask, you mind if we keep this baby get it souped-up?" Jim said into the coms, thinking of all the armament he could add to the luxury yacht to a war machine.

[Andorreth Vikar]

Shrugging at the turn of events and Jim's ego deciding this was his new ship I simply walked out to the lounge and made my way to the executive suite. Taking my blade I looked at the panel of the door where the controls were, after looking at I realized that while I could rewire it to open that'd take time. So placing the flat of my sword against the wall with the tip against the panel, jerking back I popped the panel off the wall exposing the wiring. While I could sense one life inside I couldn't see how the trap had been set. Knocking on the sealed door I said "Hey whoever got stuck in there I'd suggest moving away from the door for a sec." With that I pulled one of my heavily modified DC-15s blaster pistol from my left thigh holster and aimed at the exposed wiring of the control panel. Then I fired three high powered shots into the exposed wiring of the panel.

After completely destroying the panel the door opened and a containment shield flickered then dropped. Holstering my pistol I inverted my short sword so it wasn't pointing towards whoever came out. "Leo I'm guessing? One of our squad seems to have an inflated view of both his ego and how important he is compared to the rest of us. Way I look at it you're still the one in charge and the one who can make sure nobody gets left here." Extending my left hand for him I waited to see what our next move would be...

[Leo Vandermolen]

While the crew began clearing the rest of the ship, Leo got down to work. It would seem that Velok thought the initial force cage would be enough to deter any wannabe intruders from snooping around as there was little else stopping Leo from locating what he was looking for. The Holocron was practically calling to him as Leo located a discrete side-hatch in the suite's wall and gazed at the glowing blue cube before him. Leo eased his hand forward and sensed for any further traps, just to take precaution. After he was almost positive there were none, he carefully lifted the object from its pedestal and held it in front of his face, examining the intricate carving and decorations that held so many secrets.


Leo snapped out of his trance as the door slid open, [member="Andorreth Vikar"] behind it. He stashed the Holocron in his bag before addressing Andorreth's complaint, "Bah, just ignore Jim." Leo replied with a grin, "He's just trying to have a little fun. We'll take this baby back to Kathol and have her refitted if we can. If he wants it then, well, it's all of the ORC's decision. We're all free to speak our thoughts, but never forget to take charge when it's required." With that, he returned the gesture and shook his hand. It was then that Leo realised all the commotion blasting over the comms.


"There will be time enough for that later Jim, but right now, you heard the Jawa. Get those engines ready, we're leaving this popsicle stand. Derin, get yourself patched up at the Med-bay. Toph, get those droids working for us. And Sakka, make sure the Jawa doesn't receive a bolt to the head." He blurted into the ORC's frequency. "Alright everybody, on point. Defend this thing till' we're ready to leave." He turned his gaze back to Andorreth,


"You rekon' you can give us some more firing support?" He questioned as he made his way to the boarding ramp to usher anyone still left outside in.

[B'kik]

"Ha these atoonyobas have worst aim than a wookie using a keeza that isn't a bowcaster"
An atoonyoba blaster bolt whizzes past B'kik head, close enough for him to feel the heat of the bolt
"Nekkel juuvar obwegadada Hkeek nkulla!"
B'kik quickly regained focus and started shooting at the atoonyobas again.
He was not planning on dying today and instead was planning on being a part of the people who would refit the reve so then [member="Jim Pehico"] would have to pay B'kik for ship parts that somehow went missing from the 'Mercy Me'

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

Smiling at Leo's response I flipped my sword before inverting it back into it's sheathe. I liked Leo he seemed pretty chill, upon his asking if I could provide more fire-support I grinned like a madman. "Oh with pleasure Leo, I do like to make things go boom..." With that I headed back through the cargo bay to the ladder heading up to the turret. After getting set in the seat I warmed the turrets back up and while there was only one it was amazing what could be accomplished with just one turret....Boosting the power to the turret's capacitors I basically overcharged them to where it wouldn't make all of us go boom. Then I simply closed my eyes breathed in and opened my eyes as I breathed back out moving the turret to face a group of Sith spawn. Then I began shooting in tight, controlled bursts making it a point to avoid the droids. I kept shooting and thought of what I'd accomplished here today....

Made some new allies, found star ship blueprints with extensive notes on how to modify it, contacted through The Force by some lady who called herself The Fire-dancer and apparently knew me, and got some shiny new lanvarok gauntlets with the added bonus of making bad guys go boom. Not a bad day... though the whole contact through The Force thing was still a lot to process....Hopefully with the blueprints and extensive notes I'd be able to get a whole new Rogue's Salvation. Then a trip to where I'd been going before Bryce had talked me into this whole adventure Nar Shadaa. Funny thing destiny....

[Velok the Younger]

[member="Andorreth Vikar"] would find that the starship blueprints depicted a YV-929 Armed Freighter, an ancient Corellian design.

[member="Derin Kall"], once he made that trip to the med bay, would find one docile and supremely competent medical droid.

[member="Leo Vandermolen"] would find that the Jedi holocron contained a comprehensive treatment of the Core Powers, as well as instruction in any of the first six lightsaber forms.

[member="B'kik"] and [member="Jim Pehico"] would find that the Mercy Me had been carrying, or modified with, a wide variety of strange components. Military-grade shields, bizarre anti-intruder defenses, advanced sensors, a prototype Gemcutter, all kinds of things.

[member="Toph Graystone"] and [member="Mascoo"] would likewise find a good deal of loot - tools, weapons, money, droids.

Basically, Velok was going to be annoyed at some point. He'd quite liked this ship.

 

[B'kik]

"Shields and gemcutter are m'bwa."
Once the reve gets to a ORC hudeout B'kik is going to start putting his loot in his reve and is also planning to steal the engine and hyperdrive.
Out of kindness or because he is to lazy to uninstall them B'kik will leave most of the traps and sensors in the ship for someone else to take.
