jokemaster Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Rodian *to Luka*: Sir, one of our agents has brought jokemaster here, he claims jokemaster doesn't remember anything. Shall I call him in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 Klai plants his feet on the wall and runs on the vertical surface over the droids. He has his DL-44 out before the droids can all turn. 2 of them are down before they can even turn around. They advance on him, blasters ablaze. Klai takes cover behind a crate and takes shots at random in the general direction of the droids. One more falls. The other 2 self destruct, blowing up the entire cooridor. Klai and Topshot are thrown from the scene, badly burned. Klai uses his med kit on Topshot's wound who are more serious. He turns around to the cooridor they are heading down, "If they can all do that, we don't stand a chance. These are 1st degree burns, but we couldn't sustain another blast like that. There has to be another way!" *** Luka nods to the Rodian, "We can analyze him further. Rodiar was stupid not to..." *** Wra'fo, Ding, R9, and Zofire arrive at Luka's base and assemble in an alley beside it. Wra'fo frowns, "There are security cameras all over! Ding and I can take them out given the proper distraction. We'd have to get to the security room, most likely in the heart of the base. You and R9 must find Luka and place him under arrest." "Won't be necessary Wra'fo." The party spins around to see Katarn07 standing in the doorway. He motions to the hauler, "Come on! We have to get out here. We need more agents to get to Luka; I barely escaped with my life..." Wra'fo hugs Katarn07, "I really had my doubts about you being alive. I am glad you are here. All right, Gunny is always right. We'd best do what he says." They get into the cargo hauler and take off to NRI HQ. Katarn07 explains to them what happened, how they never went to Bandomeer and went straight to Coruscant. He was about to be administered some drugs when he killed the guards and fled for his life. Wra'fo furrows his brow, "How did you get away without a blaster? Not even you could perform a stunt like that Gunny..." "Stealth." "That is not something you are known for..." "Well, Wra'fo. I snuck through the ventalation shaft until I got to the lower level, then I ran for it." Wra'fo shrugged, "I'll ask Ding to read your report when you give it to him. Did you find the drugs?" "No. I didn't have time to look." "You.. didn't... look?" "No, Wra'fo, I didn't. There was nough in the room I awoke in. I could lay out a map and show you." "Alright. We'll discuss this later." Wra'fo sees the mechanical arm of Katarn07 does not have any carbon scoring on it that Darkman put there from their earlier encounter. He nudges to Zofire and shows that to her.

topshot Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Awaking from consciousness and smelling the wounds of burning flesh, Topshot looks over to Klai, then looks back over to the droids he dismantled. Topshot:"You're right. We wouldn't be able to make it out alive if these things spotted us! And there's something else. Something I just felt......." Klai:"And what is that exactly?" Topshot:"I felt like.......we were being set up or something. Couldn't sense it through the Force, but.......I don't know if Gunny's really here or not. We'll have to keep looking around. There may be a secret antidote to that 7687 you and Katarn kept telling me about hidden somewhere here......" ******* Yugasko:"Do they suspect a thing?" ???:"Highly doubtful. Darkman is posing as Katarn as a distraction to throw off Topshot's force sensitivity, and as a decoy for our plans. By the way, how is our hostage doing?" Yugasko:"He's out like a sleeping rancor. They'll have a hard time distinguishing the real Katarn from the imposter. We've done everything we could to copy the real one using a body scan, and Darkman's knowledge of the NRI. There's no way we will screw up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 "So, Gunny. Did they fix up your arm or what?" "What do you mean? This is the arm I got a few weeks ago after it was blown off while I was looking for Rodiar with you guys." "Yeah, but it got pretty gnarled up when that guy who jumped you attacked us in that warehouse a few days ago." "Well, I woke up with this arm, so I guess they did." "Why would Luka, the man that wants to kill you, spend some of his own money to fix a arm when the man will be dead soon?" "I don't question the actions of physco paths, Wra'fo, I just do my job and kill them." "I see..." Wra'fo looks to see the NRI HQ coming into view and he thinks for a moment, then he turns to Katarn07, "Do you remember when my sister was killed Gunny?" "Yeah. If it weren't for her death, you might still be a bounty hunter." "Do you remember what I told you when she died?" "Yeah. You swore revenge against the men that did it..." "No, no I didn't. I didn't say anything to you. I got drunk that night and crashed my speeder into antoher one." "Well, you said that afterwards." "When you saved me from the wreck, and I was a bit more alert, right?" "Right. I'll never forget that..." "You didn't save me from that wreck. Kyle Katarn did. He knew me when I was an agent for the Rebellion." Wra'fo took out his E-11, "Who are you?" Katarn07 changes to Darkman, and the man lunges at Wra'fo. Both of them fall out of the hauler, screaming on the way down to the planet's surface.

Darth NeoVenom Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Zofire quickly turns on her jetpack and flies towards Wra'fo and Darkman. Zofire activates one of her wrist blade and stabs Darkman in the stomach making him let go of Wra'fo and slashes at his arm making Darkman let go of Wra'fo. She then grabs Wra'fo and flies towards the hauler as she sees Darkman falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 Darkman ends his fall on a spike emerging from a garbage hauler. He looks at the wound, moans aloud as he sees the bloody wound, and then lays his head down, dead. *** Wra'fo gasps for air as Zofire sets him beside her in the cargo hauler. He nods to her, "Thanks. Thanks alot. That was close. What do you suppose he was doing? Why was he with us? Who or what is he after?" None of his questions are answered. *** Klai shrugs, "There must be another way. Ventalation shafts would be to obvious. The blast doors are all closed, so we can't retrace our steps... How about a really big explosion. That'd work. We could get an explosion to set off a chain reaction in the power grid and the security would be out of order. We could use the manual releases on the blast doors, then. The problem is getting to the right spot to blow. We'd have to get to a power coupling. Any suggestions where we could find one?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 *Ding extends his hand to grab Wra-fo and Zofire* Ding: Come on come on *a blaster bolt flies past his face* Ding: aw crap *pulls out his blaster and shoots at a hover-car with a rodian sticking out the window shooting at them* EDIT: posted at the same time, oops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth NeoVenom Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Zofire cleans her blade. She then looks at Wra'fo and says, "There are so many questions that have to be answered. You think it would be wise if I visit my real mother?" Zofire remains silent and looks out at the traffic. She then takes off her helmet as tears roll down her cheeks. "I hope she is alive."

Katarn07 Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 Wra'fo has no time comfort Zofire, and instead covers her as he fires his E-11 at the attack sppeder. There are 3 more surrounding them. "Crap!" Wra'fo took out the drivers of 2 of them, but the third one scores a hit to Wra'fo. It hits the armor that saved him earlier, but it wounds him enough so he can no longer defend any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshot Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Topshot:"There's a power coupling two blocks left after we pass the next security station or so." *Hears a strange noise.* Topshot:"What the heck was that?" A steady humming sound can be heard in the background. Klai:"From what I heard, that was a lightsaber or something........." A Shadowtrooper stealthily sneaks up close to Klai. With no time to react, a mysterious figure de-heads the Shadowtrooper in one fell swoop with his own saber blade, then quickly disappears. Topshot:"Who was that guy?"

jokemaster Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Ding: Zofire take Wra-fo, I'll cover you *ding shoots one of the speeders, blowing it up and providing a smoke-screen for Zofire's es ape* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 "I don't know. This here was a shadowtrooper. My buddy Kyle Katarn took out that project a while ago... Hmm, angel on our shoulders. Hopefully. Let's getting moving." They get to the power coupling and Klai sets a det pack on the coupling, "This is how agents prefer to blow up bases, you know. Plant some explosives on the good ol' power coupling." He sets it for 3 minutes and Klai turns to Topshot, "We'd best move out of this area. Lead the way toward our destination."

topshot Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 With little time to spare, Topshot and Klai head back to the fork in the road where all but one of the blast doors was once locked. Now all of them are knocked out, allowing for freedom of passage. Topshot:"One of these 4 doors should lead to the jail cells. The other 3 will be all but traps. I suspect that they'll be keeping Katarn there. After we release him, we'll need to keep going forward since we blew out that power coupling, meaning more of those droids may come after us. We'll need to know which door leads down the correct path. Got any infrared scanning devices handy on you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 "No... But I do have a sense about these things." He looks at the doors and points, "That is the correct one to escape. I am having trouble though. Usually, I can tell when my friends are close by. I don't sense Gunny..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshot Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Topshot:"They must be hauling him off somewhere. We better just go to the lab in the basement of this armory. We should be able to find the antidote instead, and perhaps, maybe even Gunny....." They then went to the bottom floor of the armory and encountered 4 stormtroopers, which seemed to be both taken out easily by the same mysterious person. They then looked, Sure enough, we found the antidote 108702, but no Gunny..........., Topshot thought. Topshot:"They must've hidden him onboard one of the other ships we saw earlier in the cargo bay. We should probably check there........" *** The mysterious person watches their actions from a nearby console screen. ???:"Good, they're heading to the cargo bay. I better go too, and 'disable' any of those weird droids we both saw....." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth NeoVenom Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Zofire then grabs Wra'fo and says to Ding, "Come. R9 and I can grab both of you and land on one of those buildings over there." With that said, Zofire turns on her jetpack and R9's booster come out of it'z leg. "Hang on tight Ding." All of them exit the hauler and land on an edge of a building. Zofire then pulls Wra'fo into the shadows. R9 and Ding follow Zofire. Zofire then says to R9, "R9, give me one of those bacta tanks and hands it to Wra'fo. "Here you go. This should help."

Katarn07 Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 Wra'fo nods, "Thanks again. We'd best get to the NRI HQ." He hails for a taxi. It arrives at the building with no trouble. Wra'fo heads off to the med bay, and leaves Ding, Zofire, and R9 to themselves in the main lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katarn07 Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share Posted March 29, 2003 A NRI analysist comes and sees Zofire with the bag and Ding, "Jeez, sir. You disappeared, Mon Mothma was getting worried." He looks to Fett, "I see you were able to obtain some of the 7687. Well, we'll analyze it and keep it here. Maybe we can get our scanners to pick itup and we'll run scans all over the planet."

Darth NeoVenom Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Zofire hands the NRI analysist the bag. Her and R9 then walk around the lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 Hours later, Wra'fo returns with Jan Ors. Jan nods to Zofire, "Well, that bag you found will speed this case up for us. Thank you very much for your help... it is much more important that Gunny's capture and he understands that your time on the case is worth more than his existance..." Wra'fo storms out of the room. Jan turns to him, "Wra'fo... I hope he knows where he is going. Gunny and him have been close ever since Wra'fo's sister was killed, and now that he has lost another close one in his life, I am afraid of what he will do. Will you go after him and bring him back here? I doubt Gunny is even alive anymore, but we will still send some agents to free him..." *** Wra'fo arrives at AJ's Place and goes straight through the restraunt area and to the bar. He slams down his wallet and looks to the Mon Calamari bartender, "How much Corellian Ale can I buy with this?" "More than a Rodian's system could handle. Perhaps I can get you some..." "No, a bottle of Corellian Ale will do." *** Topshot and Klai arrive to see Topshot's X-Wing gone, and the Savrip Stike sitting there, rigged with explosives. Klai frowns, "Your droid must have saved your X-Wing from being rigged. Those ships aren't here, and according to the tracker in Gunny's saber, he i en route to Coruscant now... Let's disable those explosives. Klai goes to do it when 10 droids attack. Klai goes down, "I'm hit! Take them out! I'll get the bombs off!"

Katarn07 Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 "Oh, yeah. Wra'fo gave me his report; he said you lost your ship somehow. Yeah, we have a modified Y-Wing you can take. It's got a slot for R9, so you can take him with no hassle. It's in docking bay 76-A. Do you know where Wra'fo could be? I am afraid he went to a local dive to drink his failure off, but I have no clue where he goes... Look there if you do. Get him back here alive, by any means necessary, Wra'fo can be a mean drunk. Ask Kyle, he can vouch to that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshot Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Topshot holds back the droid assault, when the mysterious person suddenly appears and destroys the last of the 10 super battle droids. Topshot:"Who the trandoshan heck are you?" ???:"Name's Raven. Raven Kheys. I'm the one that's been secretly helping you here." Topshot:"Why???" Raven:"Those droids were supposed to be sent to attack Yavin 3. They were then called back when 2 intruders were making their way successfully into the Kass Army base. They were after you." Topshot:"So that's why you saved us, huh?" Raven:"Actually, it gets worse than that. Before Galak Fyarr was killed aboard the Doomgiver, he sent a new type of shadowtrooper to attack and destroy Coruscant. They were programmed to kill those that helped Kyle Katarn defeat Desann at the ruins of the Jedi Academy temple. So far, 5 of them were successful in killing as little as a couple Rebel scouts and fighters. The other 3 escaped while I destroyed two of their kind, and may well be on their way to NRI Headquarters to retrieve that drug your friends are going to analyze." Topshot:"How do you know all of this?" Raven:"I heard about all of this over the Holonet....." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
