Hey buddy nice to hear from you!! Was trying to unleash you to have some fun down here!! Alas you got stuck with a some technical difficulties I hear? Well I'll make it up to you! What about making some modifications to your chassis? How's a grenade launcher sound? Maybe a vibro ax?

"Its fine... old Plummouth and blue cube did most of the work.... Okay but this time no sneaky sneaky...."

Whispering over the comms, "Somebody remind me again, was this rancor here as entertainment because it was pseudo-intelligent?"

I didn't turn-up that little tidbit, but it would've been good to know... perhaps the display of intelligence is an aspect of the Sith aberration? Heading your way.

To SPY-D: Any sign of the Miraluka creature?

Yorik awkwardly did his best to soothe the creature and stroked its forearm. "Wow, I know that headache too! He's a bad man and he makes people do very bad things! You need to tell me as soon as he tries to hurt your mind again, ok, buddy? Now, wait here a moment and I'll get something that will help that headache go away... Well, at least til you get a brain freeze..."

Yorik quickly stepped inside the ice cream shop and moved behind the counter. He lifted two entire drums of Chocolate Wookie Swirl and Coruscant Cream out of their containers and pulled off the top of the wookie swirl for the Rancor.

In his most soothing voice, he smiled up at the rancor and said, "Here ya go! Nix, is it? Try this one and let's take a walk to where you can get a nice rest. I have a friend who can help keep the bad man out of your head, ok?"

"Astrid, we're heading back to the docking port now. Want to meet us to get the collar on our friend?"

The Rancor looked at the Ice Cream " No trick? ..... Man say Crush you... fight it.... yes? ...no zoo....no collar... friend yes ?? "

He takes a spoon and tastes it " Ackalay kill little man.. Nix chase to protect.. he flee.."

See you there, but our hunt isn't over.

Returning to the Hind , Astrid tries unsuccessfully to ignore the gore all around. She starts to reach for the whiskey in Griff's hand, but thinks better of it. Our hunt isn't over.

Please search for any further activity. The Miraluka needs to be captured, or Zando will have you repurposed to clean-up the poodoo from his menagerie. Not to mention what he'll do to me...

"No trick. No zoo. And YES, Friend. My name is Yorik. Yorik Vonn.

"The bad man can get you in the zoo, can't he? But, Nix, we need to keep the bad man away from you.

"I need you to fight him off in your head. There are a few ways to beat him away. One of the best ways I've found to beat him is to sleep so he can't trick you or hurt your head. But, there's also another way. In fact, I'm going to take you right now to someone who can help keep the bad man away from your head. His name is Sar Agorn and he helps me keep the bad man out of my head as well."

" he hands it to her.. Well I'm off to hide from an extremely psycho Nightsister.."

" Beep beeb " Target sighted..." (several more beeps) " north quadrant 15 guards... no civilians... heading your way

"If we want to rescue those people I can take out the troopers once we get there."

"Sounds good, Durrak! I think my new friend, Nix and I should avoid anything stressful that might trigger any strong emotions right now. Like combat. So, we're going to calmly head back to the ship while enjoying this delicious ice cream and rely upon you and the others to protect us until we get (him/her?) secure.

*Sar Agorn, can you protect Nix as you also protect me from the influence of Imo Kul? We are heading back toward you at the docking port.*

"Also, medic when you've got Lady Xillix secure feel free to join us and we can discuss how great it was for us to find each other. :)"

(Was I able to download security logs if not could I just remove the whole storage drive to take with us to creak into later? And can I turn off the gravity if needed?)

Gravity is a whole different kettle of fish... You would need to head down to the reactor core.

You got the logs.

Nix thinks for a while he's very quiet... he slowly eats the Ice cream rather delicately... " No voices... force me hurt... make storms with mouth ... You Good... but Man Smart... he knows...he knows "

It's too late.... as you turn the Acolyte is there..... the troopers take up crossfire positions

A voice that is like nails scratching a chalkboard " Kneel.... Give us the beast... the Sith Witch.... and you get to live... 1 minute to decide..."

(They do have the jump on you Yorik...)

The Rancor looks scared and pines..." I save you.... go with them... so friend stay safe?... "

(Man I go to sleep and all the action breaks out! Made my rolls with okoros, once I figure out how to link them here I'll edit and do so, most likely once I'm home at my PC. Phone's a little tricky. They are linked the the campaign though if anyone wants to check them)

Medical check to heal the Sith: 1 Success. Assuming she tracks wounds like a PC that's 3 wounds healed thanks to my talents.

Medical check for the Sith friend : 3eP+3eD 1 success

Medical check to confirm death of the host: 4 success, I assumed average difficulty (2 purple). I can roll a separate D die if that assumption was wrong. With 4 success I think I'd still make it.

Confirming death of "Host" : 3eP+2eD 4 successes

Bennar tends to the Sith's wounds. I'll tend to anyone who stands up to my enemies, and that guy you fought definitely seems like a monster. Unfortunately there isn't much I can do for you here, but this should keep you on your feet for now. Assuming you have a ship with a medbay or we find a working medical station around here maybe I can give you use of that arm again.

Looking around to the others nearby, Bennar, introduces himself. The name's Bennar Guddan. Thanks for taking the bait and bailing me,put here. I came here with a shipment of experimental combat stims to assist in reclaiming this station, but as you can see this place may be beyond reclamation. Not sure if you guys will end up needing them, but hopefully they'll be able to help. I also have normal medical stims as well as some skill with my medkit. Say, you over there, do you need some fist aid? Going over to the fallen, he does confirm that this host is dead (or alive if that's what I was checking for?).

What's this about a circus Rancor?????

(My "experimental combat stims" are my talent that lets me make a medical check to boost a friend's characteristic of your choice by 1. If I do it "quick" it's an average check and on success you boost 1 characteristic by 1 for the encounter and you take 4 strain. If I do it the "slower" way it's a hard check, but you only take 1 strain. Let me know if you want them, as I won't assume you do till I get to know you guys better.)

(Can I get a perception check to see if there is a security guy amongst the Gore here, maybe there's a key card?)

(The host is dead, but your detection indicates that she was killed via so me kinda stab )

She makes a clicking sound which is translated as 'thank you' however it seems its more personal than that.

Sure give me 3purples

(Oooo someone's found himself an insect Sith girlfriend!!)

Still calmly eating ice cream with Nix and walking back toward the stardock, Yorik smiled coolly and said into the comms, "Bennar, Nice to meet you, sir! You have impeccable timing! I'd like to introduce you to my friend Nix who can't hear you right now but is a rancor of some considerable size and we want to be sure to stay calm no matter what. (Note the irony how Yorik just reacted with anger and violence to put down Imo Kul but he's trying to be level headed here... which is usually Astrid's job)

"We've got less than a minute to act so I sure hope you and my other friends are in a good position right now to take out these guards... " (& FRELL YEAH I'd LOVE those Stims, WOW!!!) I'm almost overcome with Strain at the moment so I'm hoping this ice cream is helping me recover before I pass out and that you'll be able to do something as well.

"Shard, hope you can gas the place because right now would be perfect!"

To Nix, Yorik calmly ate another scoop of ice cream and said, "Stop that, Nix! Friends don't let friends get hurt if they can help it. I'm your friend and if you go with those bad men then the really bad man behind that scary voice will really hurt you, me, and everyone else around here.

"He's already done it once before, hasn't he? I know you didn't like that. Well, we can't let that happen again, now can we??"

"Now, it sounds like my friend, Durrak, has just met the Miraluka. But, we still have other friends who can help us and we've already set up safeguards so as long as we keep walking this way we'll be fine. Trust me and see..."

Then, to help keep Nix calm, Yorik called out in a sing song voice to the new puppet of Imo Kul and the group taking position behind them, "Well, hello there Imo Kul! Are you back again? What do you and your friends think you're going to do to us if we can't turn over the Sith, or my new friend, Nix, here? Do you really want to make him angry? Is that very wise? In fact, why don't we all calm down and see if we can discuss this over some ice cream!"

Whispering to Nix and smiling, "Only bad people don't like ice cream, Nix. Remember that. Also, we're going to keep walking and I don't want you to be scared, no matter what, ok?"

Just a little further to their stun snares which were already in position and waiting to be tripped. Yorik might be able to avoid some of them... doubtful...but he probably wouldn't die at least & now that they had a medic... But if he could take out most of the troopers then the others should be able to concentrate their firepower on Imo Kul and take him alive.

(The Miraluka is actually in front of you Yorik )

In reaction to you saying you are going to pump gas into the area he raises his hands and uses two guards to jam the nearest air flow chambers... crushing them until they fit.... the screams are quite disturbing..

You have access to a few drones that have stun cannons on them.

Ok you got since backup now!!

... Wait is someone feeding ice cream to the rancor? What the Frags going on? Here I'm up to my ankles in death sludge, and your galavanting around eating ice cream?

Worra taps into the mall's com systems, realizing that they would need to get any survivors out quickly. He switched on the microphone to record his message.

"Attention, shoppers!" he announced. "Please exit the mall in an orderly manner as quickly as possible. Your safety is our ultimate concern."

Quote

Leadership Check to Evacuate the Mall : 1eP+2eA+2eD 0 successes, 1 advantage

Failure: Message doesn't send

Advantage: gonna just use the collar amp to notify people and then lead as many survivors as he can.

The red light on the terminal blinked out, indicating that the message had been recorded. The terminal then displayed MESSAGE RECORDED. ADDED TO THE QUEUE. SCHEDULED TRANSMISSION TIME 26:00.

Blast, thought Worra. That transmission won't be much use in nine hours.

Worra climbed to the floor and heaved one of the injured onto his shoulder, directing the other survivors to the exits. "You there, help me carry this one. There's an exit by the oil bath dispensary on the lower level. Let's get you out of here, now."
