Jedi Apprentices: Kessel Captives (Game)

[DashRendar]

YAY it be time to start!!!

 

man I'm glad I typed this up previously cuz right now I'm so tired I'm surprised I can type this.

 

Master Shenn Jrulen walks through a door into the briefing room where his Apprentices eagerly await.

 

“The Republic has known about the illegal slaving operations on Kessel for quite awhile, but until now they have not paid much attention. This time they have gone TOO far. Two Councilmen from Corellia have been captured and have been taken to Kessel.”

 

Master Shenn raises his hand and a screen drops from the ceiling showing a map of a mine

 

“Chancellor Antillies has decided to shut them down once and for all. Our mission is to go in and clear the way for a Clone Army to take over the mine. Our objectives are basically to go in and take out their primilinary defenses and disabling their sensors, to clear the way for a landing team. We must also recapture the two councilmen so that they are not killed in the ensuing action.”

 

Master Shenn again raises his hand and the screen changes to show an Advanced Jedi Starfighter

 

“You will be flying the new Advanced Aethersprite Delta-7. They are equipped with Hyperdrives so that we don’t have to use the Hyperdrive Rings. I will be taking a YT-1300 in and land in the main port and supposedly pick up some spice. You guys will take a different route and land awhile away from the mine.”

 

Master Shenn raises his hand a final time and the screen reverts to the mine’s map

 

“Once inside I shouldn’t have much trouble moving around the mine. We’ll meet right here”

 

Master Shenn points to a point near the out skirts of the Mine.

 

“We’ll then move to the main building and recapture the Councilmen, and take them to the YT transport. The transport will take you back to your fighters and then we’ll do a strafing on the Sensor Array.”

 

Master Shenn pauses for a breather

 

“Any Questions?”

Character Jec Sporkwind

"Do we kill? Minimal casualties on both sides or are we authorized for stronger measures?"

[DashRendar]

*Master Jrulen turns to Jec*

 

"We ONLY kill what we must, our job is to make sure it won't see the attack coming before it's too late. We are NOT there to kill everything in sight."

 

[GM SPEAK] I like what Fergie did with his PC name. I'd appreciate it if you all did that. O and if you don't have any questions/comments post anyway so I know you're alive and will be able to participate. [/GM SPEAK]

Devdel

 

Master if we are going after these senator shouldn't we also free the rest or the slave on the planet?

[darthfergie]

Jec Sporkwind

"You must remember many of the slaves there are actual criminals serving their sentences. Then, Some like the couselors are captured by rogue slaving bands."

[DashRendar]

"Devdel, the only reason we're freeing the Councilmen at all is because they'd be the only people we know of that the enemy would benefit from if killed. The Clone Army will free the rest."

[Artoo]

Chiso

 

Chiso listens intently, but has nothing to add to the conversation.

[Redwing]

Rey Adi Seyah

 

*Rey walks in late, then looks startled to see everyone already there*

 

Sorry...I thought we were meeting in an hour?

[DashRendar]

*Master Jrulen gives a slightly annoyed look at Rey but quickly changes to a curious one*

 

"Well I don't know where you got that from, but at least you got here..."

 

*Shenn walks to the wall behind him and turns a small dial back and forth twice, which in turn opens a small panel on the wall. Shenn pushes a small button and a datadisk is ejected from it's slot.*

 

"Here's a copy of the briefing once you get to your ship watch it as we head through hyperspace."

[Artoo]

Chiso Sebatyne

 

I know everything I need to Master Jrulen, so I am going to head to my starfighter.

 

*walks out towards the hanger bay where the fighters are parked*

[DashRendar]

*Master Jrulen takes out a datapad from the small safe-like-thing and guides it to [Tie Guy's PC]'s hand*

 

"Here's a copy of the map of the mine, it should come in handy."

[Redwing]

*Rey looks over [Tie Guy's chara's] shoulder curiously*

[Tie Guy]

I grab the datacard and put it in my pocket with the others. "Great, i'll make sure i review this on the way over and see if i can't work out a good entry and escape route." I start to walk out of the room to get changed and head to my starfighter.

 

My internets still down. I"m at my grandparents ouse right now. Dash, you could just play my character in the meantime, that would enable you to keep going normally. I don't know what else to do, honestly. I already reinstalled all of windows and got a new network card and it still doesn't work. I don't know how soon it will be.

[Wraith 5]

devdel

 

*I also start to walk toward my fighter*

 

tie i don't know when you will be back or if you will ever see this, but have you installed the new drivers for your network card?

[DashRendar]

[GM Speak] Well this is bound to happen with a larger group...Here's the deal, Tie, you seam to occasionally have access so instead of right away saying what you do, I'll wait until everyone else has responded so that you can still post whenever you get the chance. Also, it appears Bobo nor Rhett have noticed the game, I've also noticed there absence on MSN, so I'll take over their characters in the same fashion, at least until either of them come back...for now I'll just say that neither had any questions and they both headed for their fighters...[/GM Speak]

 

 

Master Jrulen, seeing everyone has gone to their starfighters, also heads for his ship. As he walks into the cockpit he is created by his droid copilot. Soon after he is settled, he keys on his Commlink

 

"Is everyone ready back there?"

 

Receiving acknowledgments he keys the repulsorlifts and heads out of the hangar bay and heads around the building to the other hangar bay to meet with his apprentices' fighters

 

"OK guys let's get out of here..."

 

A few seconds later they are in open space and in another few seconds stars start streaming past their canopy.

[darthfergie]

*put in some tunes for the long hyperspace ride*

[Artoo]

Chiso Sebatyne

 

Aaaaaahhh, time for a little sleep before a mission. I'll just set my hyperpsace alarm to wake me up right before we reemerge.

[Tie Guy]

Dyn Westl

 

 

I settle into my cockpit as i enter hyperspace. "Twitch, put the contents of this datacard i'm putting in to the main moniter. And prep the hypercomm on all the usual channels," I tell my R4 unit I insert the datacard and watch a map appear. I begin to study the map intensly, searching for the quickest and safest routes in and out of the complex, as well as possible locations of guards. Thinking for a moment, i flip on the hypercomm. "Saber 2 to Saber 1. Master, do we have any specific information on the security of the prison and the surrounding areas? Can we expect fighter resistance also?"

 

Wraith, i tried EVERYTHING. I did install new drivers, even a new card AND new drivers. I tried everything I know. My dad tried everything he knows (he's a programmer). I even had my cousin look at it and he tried everything he knows (he's a hardware and network guy). So know i have no clue what is wrong. In fact, i'm sitting right next to my PC using my dad's laptop (which is on top of the PC tower) to type this, and we connected through the same modem as my PC! However, i have managed to get on every couple of days or so. So i might be able to play noramlly. I'll try to get on as much as possible, but if something really urgent comes up, Dash can just go for me. Sorry.

[DashRendar]

"Well intelligence says that they have a few patrolling craft. but they are lightly armed, so if you meet any you should have no problems with them. As for guards to the actual mine itself...well we don't know much about that but we DO know that they're there."

[Tie Guy]

"I'll just take the shortest route then, Master." I take out my datapad and insert the map. I begin to draw out the projected courses. I reinsert the card into the ship's computer. I flip the switch to an open channel.

 

"Ok, everyone, i've plotted our routes for the intrusion. I'm sending them to your R4 units now." I press a button on the console to my left. "The main route is marked in red and the backup, which we will use if we run into any unexpected trouble on the main route, in yellow. I suggest you at least look over them so that you will know where we are going once we get on the ground. Time is tight, so we can't afford to waste any by getting confused."

 

My PC is still down, but i see that it hasn't been a problem since my last post anyways. Thats nice.

[darthfergie]

*recieves files and carfully looks over the map...then turns up the tunes*

[Tie Guy]

Just wanted everyone to know that i finally got my PC working again. And all it took was a format and a new network card.

[Redwing]

*Rey fiddles with the displays in his starfighter and rereads the plans for the tenth time out of boredom. Sigh. Hyperspace trips were so long...and boring.*

[Wraith 5]

*Devdel looks at the map, memorizing the main route, and the back up route. When done he looks for places in the main route that would be good places to make a break for the back up route.*

[DashRendar]

About half an hour through the trip starlines start forming outside of the cockpits and soon they turn into normal stars, but as the group looks around no planets are in site.

 

I think we took a wrong turn. One of the Padawans say with a touch of nervousness in his voice.

 

Don't worry this is just where we split up. Remember I'm approaching the planet from a totally different area. You guys are on your own for now. Just keep heading on the same route you were. See you soon.

 

With that the freighter heads into hyperspace. Leaving the fighters alone. After a few seconds the last of the fighters also blink out into hyperspace.

 

A few minutes later the YT-1300 comes out of hyperspace and is immediately caught by the sensors. After a short talk with Flight Control 2 fighter escorts come up to lead them down. Sensors concentrating on the YT-1300 no one even notices the 7 Fighters that come in from the other side of the planet.

 

But that soon would change. Soon after the fighters come out of hyperspace 3 patrol fighters catch them on radar. The Padawans quickly jam their frequencies, but that doesn't stop them from heading down to the surface to report what they found. They must be stopped.
