Finally-Cantina Six Spinoff: Postlude to Holocaust

[Kuuki]

okay im confused, if any of ya are supposed to be talking to irvine like his right there in front of ya, guess what, he's not

he's already wandered off into some bunkers looking for scrap metal and maybe a decent weilder, until orthos spoke to him through the force, which got Irvine very confused, and stoped dead in his tracks...

but if not, well oops

 

Irvine: "Aw, crap, that was sorta spooky, stupid imagination, heh, how to i let such things bother me."

 

*Irvine only laughs at the situation, and continues to walk until he sees a barely lit room...*

 

Irvine: "Well, what do we have here?"

 

*Irvine walks in, and notices the the base still has barely any power left due to some of the curcut breakers where still on, and still receiving power from a relay station comming from a not to far city about 20 or so miles east...*

 

Irvine: "Hmm, if i flip this switch, maybe we'd get power to some of the lights on the base, but not all of em, heck there might be quite a few places where it just might be dark, oh well..."

 

*Irvine hits one of the switches for some of the lights on the base, trying not to hit to meny due to a possible surge, lights flicker on all around the base, and like her predicted some of the lights where blown out, or just blown out due to the power surging through the old relays of circuts around the base...*

[Admiral Odin]

((we weren't talking to your character....))

 

Heimdall: Fine we take mine, it is already in route to this base.

 

notices the floodlights on the field flickering on

 

You got to be kididng me, that idiot just turned on the lights. The last thing we need is to advertise that someone is at this abandoned base.

[Kuuki]

^_^

 

*Irvine starts noticing the circut breaker start to fizzle and smoke, he, new that'd happen, then the breaker (well) poped and then the lights killed on him, and looked if there he'd turn on another breaker that'd wouldnt use up as much power, maybe only the lights inside the current bunker, he's in.*

 

Irvine: "hrph! the light in here just got dimmer..."

[Deac]

I sense it, Irvine Cracken. What do you want with us? Why do you fear the new empire?

 

*Orthos redirects his attention to the current conversation*

 

I think we should get off Coruscant right away. I sense...something very bad is coming...

[BattleDog]

Hal: Agreed, here's what we're going to do. I have codes to shut down some of the Golon platforms, problem is I need somone to patch me in. The codes are hardwired. However the low level codes can be changed, someone has to hack those.

 

This base should have some X-Wings, one of you can help me run interferance.

[Kuuki]

Deac: no one knows that Irvine is a Cracken, as far as everyone knows his name is Irvine Craceren

and as for fearing anything, Irvine hasnt expressed any feeling towards any new empire

so im just going to ignore that bit of diologe

 

*Irvine walks into the barely lit bunker, then Irvine sees something*

 

Irvine: "There! A mig weilder! its not the best but, it will work."

 

*Irvine also notices a bit of steel laying about on the floor, so then he wheels the mig wielder (it has wheels on it) and picks up a fair sized piece of steel and starts walking back to his freighter, but not unholstering a blaster and shoots out all the lights behind him with out even looking to aim...*

 

Irvine: "Well, i have to admit, i still have no clue how im able to do that... heh."

 

*unknownly do to his aiming of his blaster and not knownly that he sensed the position of each light, he sends a flaint distubence in the force...*

 

<Insert a certainly of the jedi close by about Irvines abilities...>

[Cmdr. Cracken]

*Alys's fighter suddenly beeps. She turns around, and checks her displays. SITHSPIT!!! Her radar was lit up with several contacts. proably the new Tie fighters her informants told her about.

 

but.. there heading seemed different. they weren't after her... but whooo...

 

She check her readings on the power grid..... oh man, those idiots lit up that base.... oh well, if they wouldn't talk to HER, she'd speak with actions. She climbed into her fighter, straped herself in, and started her power up sequence. Her R2 unit started beeping, but she calmy told it not to worry. lifting off, she put on her helmet, and made a heading through the lower levels. hopefully, she'll get there in time...*

[Admiral Odin]

((From what I understand, Orthos has an Avatar with in him, making him a Darkiller, as such he has some knowledge, that others don't, like Irvine being a Cracken. Although if I'm wrong, I'm sure Deac will say something)).

 

While this is going on, Heimdall's remote, beeps, signalling the arrival of his Ship.

 

Heimdall's: beautiful, exotic, and prestine (Aesirian, which noone will know) freighter lands next to Rachels ship.

 

Heimdall: Well my ship has arrived, Now we have to get pass the shields, for some reason I don't think we are going to make it if we fly out in this frieghter, followed by a pair of X-wings.

 

This is what I propose we do. My ship's cargo holds, can fit an x-wing in it. We also can tap into the computers from my ships comm system. So, we place an X-wing in the cargo hold, the other flys in the sensor shadow cast by the me ship. Once we clear the shields, Hal sends his codes, we launch the X-wing in the hold, and make a run for it.

 

The other benefit, is my ship has a lot of weaponry on it, that can help. So shall we do this, or does someone has something better?

[Redwing]

Raschel: I'm only an amateur slicer. I've known some of the best, but I never had opportunity to actually slice anything that level of military. I think Orthos has had some experience *glances at him for confirmation*

 

----------

 

*Marin and Aidan stop in surprise when a floodlight activates right above them, then run as the whole base's lights turn on*

 

----------

 

*Misae stops outside the freighter as she senses a small, but distinctive ripple in the Force. It had come from that bunker ahead...she heads toward the source*

 

----------

 

*Heimdall's ship lands and Heimdall makes his proposal*

 

Raschel: I think your idea is our best option. This freighter is nothing but a heavily rigged derelict. I say we blow it up and let the Imperials sift through the scrap. But we need to get Misae and those two kids back here first. *Raschel turns around and ducks into the cockpit* I'll take the shields down...*she notices the new ships on the sensors* Oh Sithspit! We have company!

[Kuuki]

*Irvine walks while pushing the mig weilder along with the piece of scrap metal on top, until he runs into Misae"

 

Irvine: "about time someone came, i got what i came for... all i need to do is get this on top of my freighter so i can fix my radar, it's prove very useful in combat sense i can make a better link with my orbital satellites. Think you can help push?"

[Admiral Odin]

Heimdall: Lets not just blow up this freighter, it can be used to help our escape. We need to rig the autopilot, nothing fancy just fly in a straight line. The Imps, will chase it and destroy the ship and presumable some of us. This will at least draw some of the prusuit off.

 

Raschel, you work on the auto pilot. Hal, come with me, will place your x-wing in the cargo hold. We don't have time to get the another one. Orthos, you look for Misea and the kids.

 

They will be on us in check sensors, in 8 minutes, I want to be out of here in 4. So lets move.

[Redwing]

Misae: *taken off guard* Uhhh, umm, uhh, yes.

 

----------

 

Raschel: *ducks into the cockpit again and keys in commands* What if they scan the ship for lifeforms?

[Admiral Odin]

Heimdall on his way out: It can't be perfect, if they do scan, then it might confuse them.

[Kuuki]

*Irvine wheels back the welder and plugs it into a power suppy on his freighter and rides the lift to the top, remembering about the silver case, he takes the weilder and uses it to cut the lock on the box.

 

he cuts the lock and opens the case to find not one but two ligthsabers of same disign... Irvine gets a small bit of anger in his face and does hesitate to slam the box close, and sets it back down, and goes back to repairs

 

Irvine then notices that people are scambling down by the other freighter...*

 

Irvine: "Leaving? So soon? And with out repairs i see? that wont last long in a fire fight!oh by-the-way i'd like to speak to this one who calls himself orthos..."

[Redwing]

*Misae senses two forms behind the bunker, moving fast. She leaves the mig welder and runs out the door, circling the bunker*

 

----------

 

Raschel: *pauses, then shrugs and returns to keying in the commands* They probably won't scan anyway. Regardless, it'll distract them.

 

*the freighter retracts its landing gear and shifts upward. Raschel activates its shields and sets a flight plan, then runs out of the ship. She activates the takeoff sequence by remote, and the freighter takes off on a skyward vector*

[Kuuki]

Irvine: "So Misae, your deciding to stay?"

 

*Irvine points to the other freighter in mid-flight*

 

Irvine: "Well it wont take long to finish the repairs, just come back in time cus i might leave ya!"

 

*Irvine continues to finish the weilding*

[BattleDog]

Hal: Ok, we'll your' frieghter Hiemdall, the shields won't be a problem, the defence platforms will cut us to shreds though, and the mines.

 

*See's ships* Oh Sithspit! Wire, start her up. *Hal heads to his fighter.*

[Deac]

*Orthos reaches out. He feels Misae is near the children, and that they will soon return. Before he leaves to make sure, he approaches Irvine*

 

Yes, Irvine?

[Admiral Odin]

Heimdall, entering his freighter, he heads to the ****pit, and activates the automatic defenses. Then warms the engines up for a quick escape. Goes to the entrance hatch.

 

flipping a switch to activate, a loud speaker.

 

Heimdall: Raschel, Orthos, Misea, and the children, get on board now. Those fighters are coming faster then expected, they'll be here in 2 minutes. I suggest you move.

[Kuuki]

Irvine talking in avery serious tone: "Im not sure how you know my real name, but we have got to talk, i want you to come with me when we all leave..."

 

*Irvine remotely starts the systems and engines on his freighter, while keeping the seriousness on his face, it woudl be clearly known who ever saw Cracken in person, would definatly would see the resemblence in Irvines face now...*

[BattleDog]

*Hal climbs into his fighter and powers up the ship's systems. The fighter rises on repulsorlifts.*

[Redwing]

*"The children" Marin and Aidan round a corner to be confronted by Misae*

 

Misae: Where are you going?

 

Marin: That's not your business.

 

Misae: You can't---

 

Aidan: *eyes glow* I don't care if you're a Jedi, you have no reason to detain us.

 

Misae: Aren't you even going to thank---

 

Marin: We're grateful. But we need to leave.

 

Misae: *blurts out* You can't.

 

Aidan: Oh, but we can.

 

Misae: No! I mean, wait.

 

Marin: What?

 

Misae: *sighs* I saw what you did this morning.

 

Marin: *as a question* You did.

 

Misae: I know you aren't what you seem to be.

 

Aidan: *aside* Told you someone was there.

 

Marin: Okay, so you saw us. What are you going to do about it? Dun think anyone's gonna believe you if you tell them, so threaten us all you want but it won't get you anywhere.

 

Misae: Be that as it may, someone told me to follow you...that you have "the first key". He was tall, dark, and...passed through walls, and knew my name. And..he called you *points to Aidan* a "gargoyle".

 

Aidan: *sarcastically* How odd. That's what I am.

 

Marin: *elbows Aidan* They don't have gargoyles here, genius. *to Misae* Sounds weird, but here's a problem - we don't have a key.

 

Misae: *points to the pack Aidan is carrying* What's in there?

 

Marin: Junk. And our business. And no keys.

 

----------

 

*Raschel runs to the transport edge and yells in at Heimdall* Gotta find Orthos! *dashes off in his direction*

[Admiral Odin]

Heimdall [on the loug speaker]: He is talking to that pilot who flew the other freighter. You have 1 minute.

[Deac]

*Orthos turns to Raschel*

 

Get back on board! I'm gonna try and find a fighter!

 

*Orthos glances around to see a small R-45 Starchaser in the corner. He prises the ****pit open and begins the startup sequence*

 

Good thing this is servicable!

[Cmdr. Cracken]

*Suddenly, through a small patch of fog, the new TIE Vultures scream through the air, and open fire. The base is the frist, and the group splits, one to tend to the base, the other to deal with the escaping frieghter and her escorts.

 

As suddenly as they appeared, a small triangular fighter came up through the top levels of Coruscant, and flew right up infront of the frieghter, sending it veering, then back on course. it flies in a loop, and blasts the TIE that's coming head on to the frieghter. It rolled, and snap-turned, sending another two to thier firiey doom.

 

A soothing womans' voice pierced the comm.*

 

I see you have a bit of company, mind if i join in? also, if you find time, i'd like to know why the hell you didn't return my call.
