stingerhs Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Well, this should be interesting. I'm not really interested in the money like Jeez would've been, but I think this crew should be pretty good, Ryshana thought to herself. Turning around, Ryshana headed up the ladder behind Nic.

steven Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Jack heard beeping from the computer consel, he leaned foward and started working. The echo pulled outside of hyperspace right infront of Aldrenaan, the engines fired up and the ship speeded toward the planet below. Inside the ship, Jack shouted out,for the slow "We've arrived at Aldrenaan!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Nic felt the ship drop out of hyperspace as he got off the ladder. This was probably due to the fact that Cloud had to replace the grav dampaners, he asked for them but Nic just kept saying 'tell me when it's broke." He heard Steven shout and then the Alarm went off. Nic ran straight to the Bridge and looked the sensors "Oh <twi'lek Curse>,we've got a fleet of Imps just out of there sensor range." Nic said confidant that Clouds modifications made their sensors vastly superior. ((o.k Steven i know Wild has something planned, so don't land or cause the ship get into trouble with the imps unless Wild says otherwise.))

JasraLantill Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 "We've arrived at Alderaan!" Jack’s voice came over the comm. “Finally,” Beryl said out loud. Having drunk her coffee, and with her head now beginning to clear, Beryl left the common room and headed down the corridor to Engineering section. True, she knew the principals of repairing engines and electronics, but Cloud knew the techniques. She hoped that he would still want to help her repair the Headhunter’s nose cone after being so abrupt with him earlier. He was struggling to keep the faulty grav dampners on line. "Need some help?" she offered, and stepped in to lend him a hand. After a moment of frantic adjustments from both of them, she said, "You know, I’m sorry that I snapped at you earlier. I was cranky because I haven’t had much sleep. I really could use your help in repairing the Headhunter. And scrounging up some replacement parts in port. You’ve got some contacts here in Alderaan, right?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 Jana went up to the cockpit and looked out at the planet. Then, she frowned. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, one of the screens started displaying a list of ships, all in orbit between them and the planet. Jana glanced over the screen and paled. "Imperials," she breathed. She turned and yelled, "Nic!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Nic looked at Jana "I know." Nic said already aware of the situation. "I think we need a change of plans? We don't stand a chance of geeting through all those ships unnoticed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 Jana nodded. "Right... we go somewhere else. Sell them to someone else who's got a somewhat less 'interesting' crew. We don't know they're here for us, but we don't want to take chances." The ship rocked slightly as Riebe's fighter detached from it. She hailed them and Jana flicked the switch, staring in astonishment as the little fighter dove straight for the Imperial fleet. "They are here for you," Riebe said. "You might want to leave before they see you." ((Here, we might have some kind of malfunction that delays our departure for a minute or so.))

ExtreamJedi12 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 "First, appology ascepted." Cloud told Beryl. "Second, I would like to appologize for barging into your room like that." Cloud may have loved Aerith more than life, but in the back of his mind, he had a crush on Beryl. He always thought she was the type that liked rich guys, not mechanics. He never pryed into the issue. "Third, I do have contacts on Aldeeran. I have a starport full of them. They could scrounge some parts." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Beryl smiled at Cloud. "Thanks," she said. "And I'm not upset about you coming into my room. Just as much my fault for not locking the door, I expect." The ship rocked slightly as Riebe's fighter detached from it. Beryl raised an eyebrow. "We must be close. That was SithHunter detaching from the...." Staring over Cloud's shoulder, she frowned suddenly. "Erm...Cloud? When that second red light on the left on the stabliser control panel is flashing rapidly, doesn't that mean that...?" The ship suddenly lurched sideways. Beryl and Cloud were both knocked off their feet, and then they heard the sublight engines shut down. "Aw, for the love of...." Beryl being the one on top, she stretched her arm over Cloud to the panel behind him and pressed the override button to restart the engines. "I hate those automatic safety protocols," she said to Cloud, as she struggled to her feet. She smiled. "Don't you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Jana gripped the back of the copilot chair as the ship rocked slightly. A sudden thought struck her and she stared after Riebe's departing fighter. "Did she..." she began. Then, she reached for the intercom. "Cloud, is everything alright down there?"

ExtreamJedi12 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 "Yeah, I do." Cloud said to Beryl. He herad Jana ask if evrything was alright. "Yeah, everything's fine." Cloud said over the intercomm. "Just a few more ajustments." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Ryshana looked up as she approached the cockpit. Something was very, very wrong, and Ryshana could feel it coming towards them. "Its too late; they're already on the way," Ryshana stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Jana barely heard Ryshana's words as she watched Riebe's fighter flying straight toward the Imperial fleet, undaunted. "What's she doing?" she murmured. Then, she saw the movement in the Imperial fleet that Ryshana had mentioned. She hit the intercom again. "Those adjustments better be fast." She swore under her breath. "Here we were, just letting her hitch a ride," she fumed. "And this is how she repays us? Alert the fleet and cause us to malfunction so they can get us?" She pounded a fist against the nearest wall in frustration as Riebe's ship vanished untouched into the Imperial fleet. Through the intercom, she yelled, "Get done... five minutes ago!" It was highly unusual for Jana to become so flustered she actually yelled at the crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Still in Engineering, Beryl hit the comm button on the wall to respond to Jana, as Cloud was busy making the adjustments on the tempermental and touchy engines in prep for restart. Safety protocol restarts always took a minimum of three minutes. They were designed that way on purpose, to allow time to examine for other problems and avoid engine blowout if there were. "We had a 'safety' restart," she said in response to Jana. "It'll be at least three minutes. There's nothing Cloud can do about it." She then took pause, and frowned. Sure the proximity alarms had sounded, but Beryl had basically ignorned them as it was a fairly standard occurrance when approaching any Imperial controlled planet. But Jana had yelled. Actually yelled. Something wasn't right. Jana's style was normally more subtle than that. "Jana, what's going on out there anyway?" Beryl asked into the comm.

starmark2k Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Nic continued looking over the sensors. As the sublight Engines had malfunctioned they were only moving slightly due to moment and that was in completely the wrong direction, they were heading towards the Imperial fleet. He moved over to the intercom and almost pushed Jana out of the way. "We're going up <sullutian Curse> creek without a Paddle." Nic said knowing the analogy was almost literal. " We need more powers to the thrusters so we can atleast turn around." Nic turned back to Jack. "The second we can move, plot a cource for Corellia, It's Not to far, an hours flight at most." ((@Wild- if you want me to edit the post so we don't go to corellia let me know.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Ryshana heard the words from the crew, but she didn't understand a word of them. Instead, she was concentrating on a presence that was slowly coming closer. Looking at the viewer, she noticed one of the ships in the Imperial fleet stood out almost as if the others weren't even there. Someone is on that ship. Someone very powerful in the Force... "Captain, this may be a good time to start preparing for a welcoming party. If we get boarded, there's a good chance that they'll know who I am. And if that happens, I wouldn't count on the mercy of an Imperial Captain as your saving grace," Ryshana stated. Ryshana wasn't afraid, but she wasn't really ready for a fight. And that was what made her a bit nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 "No offence my force-sensitive friend, but if we don't get into hyperspace A-Sap we'll proberly be dead before the days out." Nic said without turning around to busy ensuring the Sensor Jammer was on full power, so the Imperial ships couldn't get a positive ID. "And no amount of armed blasters pointing out the air-lock will help. Stormtroopers have a tendancy to shoot first and not to even bother asking questions."

Writer Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 ((Corellia's fine... maybe we'll stop by to see Jana's parents )) Forcing herself to calm down, Jana took a deep breath. "Three minutes?" she said, shaking her head slowly. She pointed to the oncoming Imperial ship. "They'll be on us sooner than that." She took over the intercom again and said, "If you can cut down on that time, it would be a very very good and happy thing. Our hitchhiker seems to have betrayed us." Turning to Ryshana, she said, "I wish I'd listened to you about her," she said. "How she betrayed the Jedi... she must have sensed you or she'd have no reason to strand us here where they can pick us up." She stared out toward the fleet again. "And now she's in there, alive and unharmed." Swearing under her breath, she moved to leave the cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 "We're going up <sullutian Curse> creek without a Paddle!" Nic said. "We need more powers to the thrusters so we can at least turn around." Beryl frowned and turned to Cloud. “Cloud, I know it’s a bit risky, but see if you can reroute the auxiliary power through to the thrusters. It sounds like we’re in trouble.” "If you can cut down on that time, it would be a very very good and happy thing. Our hitchhiker seems to have betrayed us,” said Jana. Beryl’s forehead wrinkled in disbelief. Tarla Vel? Super-instructor of the TCTA? A betrayer? No way! “Sorry. No way to hurry the restart timer,” Beryl said in to the comm. She looked at the restart timer as it counted down. “Two minutes, twenty six seconds.” She paused. “And you’re wrong, Jana. No way would Tarla betray us! She helped us with those Imps before. She wouldn’t just bail on us now.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingerhs Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 "Have you ever conducted an investigation?? You don't impound somebody based off of a witness. You impound somebody based on evidence. Even then, you can appeal to the local governors if they do impound you without evidence. Once that happens, you certainly stand a fair chance, especially since you would be impounded on Alderaan." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Nic turns and looks at Ryshana. "Are we Living in the same Galaxy ,When it comes to Jedi, The Empire will do anything to get them, to get you. I don't feel like being tortured, i was tortured once before, didn't care much for it." Nic turns back to his console "besides how do you intend to leave the ship and escape, Go for a Swim in the Black perhaps?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Ryshana thought for a second and remembered how she hitched a ride on an Imperial Lander during the very bold escape that she, the Commandos, and Jeez had come up with after Order 66 was issued. Getting in a spacesuit, she quietly latched onto an Imperial Lander and later snuck on board to steal her fighter from the Star Destroyer in orbit. "You have spacesuits, right? It wouldn't be hard for me to wedge myself in a little nook outside. Besides, I have other abilities that can come into play as well," Ryshana stated.

XoRRoX Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Suddenly Oliver arrives to Nic, with a rather unpleased face. "What is going on! I have work to do, and all people are shouting all the time! Can you tell me, sir?". Oliver lokked rather dizzy, but not drunk. Rather sick, actually.
