Yorik shook his head trying to clear it out. Still, he heard Shard's excited voice swearing on their personal frequency about "the frelling Star Destroyer in frelling orbit over our frelling heads right frelling now..."

OK, Sitrep: SNAFU just upgraded to TARFU. Got it. (Situation Normal. All Frelled Up. Upgraded to Things Are REALLY Frelled Up.)

A small part of him wanted to rage and pray that the star destroyer would crash into the planet but Yorik focused on what he could control right now and that was the situation right in front of him.

Over the Public comms he spoke, "It looks like whatever severed the heads bit them off first before hacking them with a large vibrosword. It's playing cat and mouse with us right now waiting to see how we'll react. So, let's react like we're trained, people. Nobody does anything foolish to get us all frelled..."

a star destroyer uncloaks over the moon the words are deliberate " hold your Mandibles, Vaporize you, Games are weakness, As are tricks.... You exist Because Blood Oath... Careful, Scent trails in your Words... "

Uh... Okay... Truce it is.

Seriously? A frelling cloaked Star Destroyer?

We are stronger than this.

Peace is a lie. There is only Truce.

Through Truce We gain Knowledge.

Through Knowledge We gain Strength.

Through Strength We gain Power.

Through Power We gain Victory.

We need to stop this escalation, and do what we came here to do. For the sake of all.

Hoping her perversion of both Jedi and Sith philosophy does not alienate friend and foe alike.

The Interceptors Door opens and a large ant looking biped walks out.. She motions to the ship and it takes off...

she begins pacing angrily awaiting the crew

she stops for a moment " You seek Trust... Let The True Sith Be ones who do so first.." She talks into her communicator and both ships depart.... " See, No harm... Only Agreement... Sweet Taste Yes? "

( note when the Sith says True Sith you hear a laugh that shatters several windows )

Time to go...

Oh shizz... A fragging star destroyer...

Oh yeah time to go, yup...!!

He dials up the crew excitedly about it. He grabs his backpack and whispers inside, Ok here we go, be safe... Wait for my word... Your my surprise k?

He throws it over his shoulder and runs to the hatch door.

Ok let's not sit around here like Alderaan shimmer fish in a tinnium can eh? We already made this fragging deal with a devronian, so let's own up to it meet out sithy friend and get rolling.

As the star destroyer decloaks Durrak gets a confused look on his face. " I have not a clue what is going on here. Are they altering the deal?"

"Thank you, Lady Xirixx, for trusting us. Perhaps, you sense the threat that even now is stalking us and toying with us while we make introductions. With all due respect, let's clear this port and begin setting up for any incoming targets. "

"OK, Team? Doc, you want to begin setting up the perimeter fence while Shard gains control of the cams in the local area? Durrak, I need you out here while Lady Xirixx senses for any threats from Force Users. "

*Sar Agorn, will you kindly take the Hind into orbit to keep our ship safe please?*

Yorik knew that potential catastrophe had just been averted when the Sith Lady sent the star destroyer back into orbit but he hated knowing that it was still there, waiting for them, now in ambush. Every fiber in his body wanted to find a way to blow that ship out of space. Frelling First Order bastards..

( its left the system)

(Sar does as you asked, but he notes your protection from Lord Insanire may wax and wane because of it)

The Sith bows, you note she is Caring dual sith swords, not a lightsaber " There are Multiple Disciples of the force here..".. her antennae point at shard, Durrak and Yorik then towards the large structure ahead.

( edit the first order is not in this timeline, Basically It diverges at the end of ROTJ ( there is some legends stuff in here too but its kinda homebrew sorta?)

(Yea though the first order could be one of the warlord groups I guess... So far it's legends through dark empire comics then it's gone homebrew?)

Who the frag is she referring to... I'm no forcie!

He forces a smile and gives her a sarcastic salute.

I need to find a terminal or something... Let's get a perimeter going... Severed hands... Severed heads... At least we got a theme going.

(Can't wait!!)

she barely understands non insect lifeforms so takes it as ( roll me a force dice??)

( its also a shopping mall, you see some of those info screens but there is no ports or anyway to access it, also you find a local holonet which is basically a shop directory)

you figure out there is a security network but that is probably hidden somewhere... but luckily you see a security droid trying to whistle twirling a baton doing a patrol of the port area maybe he can help out?

If that was their intention, I believe they could have, at that. Eyeing the sky where the recently departed Star Destroyer had been moments before.

The stench of disembodied heads is interfering with the whole "sweet taste of agreement" thing...

Once clear of the Hind , Astrid holsters her lancer, removes her mask, and approaches the Hymenopteresque being.

We appreciate your help, though the very fact that you offer it... impresses upon me just how dire a negative outcome here would be.

If this is where we're setting up shop, I'll set the perimeter.

Firce roll as resquested : 1eF 2 Light Side

I'm going to see if I could get in through the holonet connection, Durrak or Yorrik wanna go deal with that...

He motions towards the security droid.

Just keep 'em away from me for a bit too... This ain't gonna be a walk in the park.

(going to try an unorthodox slice, I wanna take a mechanics check to use the network link of the consol and build a way to jack in to it, then ask for a computers roll to slice and gain control of cameras or anything else thats attatched to the network)

(The Holonet is just shop listings, its on its own network and not linked to anything else)

If you want to try and access the security network, ( it has very poor signal in the port, Considering they have an old Commando droid patrolling it) who now is saying something about "those Eedjit Sepratists who fired him......" you could try shimming up a pole to get a direct access to the camera... if you do give me an athletics 2 purples, then a hard 4 purple computers

she seems to take your salute as polite reverence... she waggles her antennae in reciprocation.

Uh shizz, LAN only... ok, plan B!

Oh hey can anyone oh you give me a...

He points up the pole at a camera...

...alift, you know a hand uplift?

(can i get a skilled assist on this?)

I have this... pulling out her "Rider" Ascension Pistol.

Or I could rig a safety line?

Attempt to shimmy up the pole : 2eD+2eA+1eB 1 success

Ooof!

He almost slides back down but manages to grab hold and reach the top. He looks at the camera for a moment and scratches his chin. He opens a side panel in the camera.

Slice into the camera... Suffering two strain to lower difficulty : 3eD+2eB+2eA+2eP 4 successes, 2 threat

Zrrrrrx...txxx.xx.rrrrr...ah. Oooozzxxxx.kkkk k k zzz.. Ok got it!

Astrid looks up just in time to catch Zyi shimmy up the pole.

You missed your calling. You could be dancing with those cute Twi'lek girls at Club Orb, with moves like that.

Gazing beyond, to the immense structure looming in the distance.

I've braved some strange places in Zando's service. Ancient ruins, deserted temples, abandoned watch stations; but never a mall...

Frag off!

He said in good fun.

He looks around from his perch (do I see anything?), his goggles scanning the environment for threats.

You see multiple cameras.. lots towards the center are offline. There seems to be lots of dried blood and gore forming " red carpets " towards the centre of the megastructure

This is the Galaxys super mall you expected it to be heaving with people, there is nothing, no droids, very little damage... You do spot that the " come and see a live Rancor exhibit " is oddly empty too...

No security save for the guy in the parking lot, food looks half eaten. bags just calmly placed where people once sat.

tapping into the network you hear a high pitch electronic screech which you just catch. Just.

" Ladies and gentle beings..... Its time for the fun house to begin... Death Troopers on my mark... bring me the Feathered ones tongue... The one who brings it gets to keep his sanity.... " a voice.. authoritative and not Kull or the Acolyte of screaming

Eye spy with my little eye, s omething that is... Red. Well frell, that's a lot of fragging blood!

Well we got plenty of gore, oh, default missing a rancor...

As he sees he narrates until...

Frag!!!!

Zti grits his teeth as the screech emanates across the network.

**** it, why me... Got people armed to the teeth here and they want me, the kriffing mechanic!?

Ah poodoo, so... Guys, well gals too...

He looks down at Astrid and the rest of his teammates.

Apparently the bad guy thing want my tongue, and its not Kull or Mr. Screamy. We got incoming. I'm a little ignorant but is there a difference between regular storm troopers and... Well this guy is talking about something he is calling a "Deathtrooper"?! Well if they cut out my tongue, hes promising not to make them go insane... Fun times!!

Yorik had been assembling his Speeder bike and setting the harpoon into place until he heard the announcement over the commlink. His eyes widened in surprise and disgust at hearing the bounty placed on Shard's tongue. But, his breathing calmed and he grinned a feral grin upon hearing the name "Death Troopers" and he took a position in one corner of the Grand Corridor which led deeper into the megastructure. Death Troopers... It would be time for some payback for Cheyrne Ridge.

"Hey "Poledancer!" Yorik chuckled at Astrid's earlier joke. It really is hilarious. He thought.

"Shard! Stay up there and let me know when you can see them coming. I'll set up a killzone right here so that anything coming down this corridor gets blasted or fragged! Just to confirm, you heard Death Troopers, right? That's KOS and not Stun!"

Yorik ran a fine line of razor wire from one building across the promenade to the other so that any vehicles or charging rancors would be sliced or kneecapped. Any charging "Death Troopers" would be beheaded or critically wounded by the vicious wire. Behind cover, he'd be able to easily snipe from a distance and open up the autofire on Confidence and lay down a sweet whithering fire of deadly retribution. Yeah, Get some.

He knew he needed to stay focused on the mission but the situation had changed with the presence of Death Troopers and so would his tactics. He'd apologize later if it became an issue. Mines, he needed mines and not just the ones that would stun... Frag 'em. Frag 'em all for what they did.

I was securing this area, as a fall-back point... But I'm not sure this is where we want to stand and fight? Yorik?

Seeing the soldier's instincts already kicking into overdrive, Astrid struggles to keep up with him; as he unreels his tripwires, she conceals Electro-snares at a number of key points along the likely path. Nearer to their perimeter she sets several more, where more cautious adversaries trying to avoid the wires, might not notice them.

Durrak, Help me out, here. Spidey- You're on recon.

(setting 6 of 12 snares. difficulty/modifiers? 1 Survival check or 6?)
