Aye aye cap'n! He shouts down.

He keeps one eye open as a look out on from his perch, and feeds the camera to one side of his goggles to keep watch over the mall.

Now That he's in, he unplugged the databreaker ave does it in his backpack. He grabs on with one arm looped over the top, his free hand grabs a blaster and aims as he scans the horizon for incoming enemies.

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...

" Oi You! " says the security droid " you be scutterd??... get of the Pole or I be taking ye to the Shade "

as he says this you see a 4 by 4 formation of Death troopers, there Silvery black storm-trooper Armour glinting... behind them looks like an apprentice, bald human, bionics to the upper part of his head ...

you have about 2 minutes to prepare....

" get down before i knock ye down!"

Hey do we wanna stay here ir is there a better defensible position?

Astrid's common sense approach jarred Yorik out of his Kill Fever. He would have plenty of chances to kill those death troopers. But, he'd have to be smart and do it on his own terms and not just out of instinct.

"Excellent idea, Doc. We SHOULD use this as our Fall Back point. I've set razor wire across the promenade using the synthrope we carry in our packs. We should now move up to the further end and set up there as well for our initial entry point into this mall. Don't mean to be crude but we don't want to blow our wad all at once."

"Hop on and we'll get down there much faster... and safer." He cranked up the Speeder Bike and smiled at the sound of it powering up. It was mostly silent but it had a reassuring boost of power that was always a rush. This wasn't about speed though yet. They needed to recon and the bike would allow them to avoid most of the gore on the ground just in case there was anything hidden under the blood or pressure sensitive as well.

Yorik also appreciated the Sound holovids that Shard decided to play over the loud speakers of the Promenade...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwFpRxjt_BA

"Nice Touch, Shard!" That mechanic is eccentric but damned if he isn't great and creative!

C'mon down. Astrid spots Zyi, in anticipation of his slide down the pole.

Fastening her helmet, she draws her Lancer and prepares to move.

Spy-D. Find that Rancor, but don't lead it here, yet.

Yall have these troopers? ...and yes he did say "death", I wanna try something with this Droid...

He points over to the cop.

Then does a double-take as the music blares, half expecting Zyi to begin his act on the pole...

Zyi's up to something. Drop me off in a good position to use my new scope, and go back for him.

"Sure thing, Doc. " Yorik said when they arrived at the other end of the plaza.

"Be careful setting the snares and if you see anything get to the roof asap. With your Ascension gun, you can be sure to get to the high ground on top of these stores so you can have advantage and cover when you fire. With these high ceilings to simulate atmosphere, your gun should work for swinging just about anywhere around here. But, did you get the Jump Boots like I mentioned before so you can leap from building to building? Just in case?"

Yorik was scanning the intersection of their plaza versus the changing cultural themes of the other promenades. He realized that their landing point was but one of many, many different themed plaza promenades. This place was a labyrinth. A mall maze. Just great. They needed to be sure to download a layout of the facility as well just in case.

"Shard, buddy, I'm on my way to get you. Before I get there can you download a layout of this place so we can have a map in case things get crazy and we get turned around?"

(I'll go with the music thing )

Alderaan opera blasts over the loudspeakers and emergency klaxons...

Two can play at this game!

He jogs up to the security bot and stretches out his arm to shake and to offer a truce. He's palm-ing a restraining bolt.

Hey sorry about the trouble officer, just trying to get the lay of the land yah know? Bit empty an all, can't find a tour guide, was supposed to show us a live rancor! You mind helping us out? We just got here, tourists you know heard a lot about the place! Must be proud to work here... So where is everyone?

Will do. Begins setting the remaining snares.

(the boots require Piloting (Planetary), which I do not have. I would have picked up a bike, but I thought we already had a speeder, and you were getting one...)

(Gm let me know when the deathtroopers get into combat range cause the music will change hehe, so does this place have fire suppression systems?)

(Yeah that's not going to work without a hard Deception/Stealth roll. You need to roll 5purples ). He draws his pistol, "hands up buddy... Stand Still. Now! "

It's basically a large room with roof hatches for ships.

It's like a 50m walk.. to the doors, the room is vast so you could ride around but cover is minimal. There's a few very small ships about, mostly planetary shuttles. Note there's multiple ports so this is just Port A

( They have suppression droids on a separate suppression network... you'll need to find one of the fire fighting droids.)

A scout is seen at the doors, he seems to note 3 of you.

(Ahhh, ok. I was picturing this place being like Centerpoint Station in Corellia... VAST, with it's own atmosphere. Ok. Cool. Much more small in scale and much more managable.)

(Think of the Ports like decorations on a large diamond shaped structure right now your about a third up the left hand side.)

Out of time...

Astrid scrambles up the side of a nearby shuttle, and lowers her goggles, awaiting her first target.

Seeing the security droid draw on Zyi, she calculates the distance, wondering if her new scope is enough to help her make the shot?

Just...

I think I can make it. (lining up the shot)

I doubt Zyi just wanted to shake hands... I'll give him a few seconds to resolve matters, before taking the shot.

Get a blue dice for the shot.

(I'm going to spend a destiny point, also does my shadow suit help? I'm going to roll without but if so ill add the bonus into it...)

Trick hand shake : 5eD+2eP+1eA 2 successes, 3 threat

(If it applies: )

Bonus dice from shadow suit : 2eB 1 success, 2 advantage

(That was a LOT of Purple) "way to go, Shard! :-)"

Yorik took aim with Confidence at the Death Trooper who appeared to be in charge. He slowly exhaled and began to walk his path of retribution.

He talks another two steps to close and freezes his arm still outstretched a forced "friendly" smile plastered on his face.

Harder to tell with droids, but this is mall security not a B-1 battle droid... I'll take the risk.

Is this how you your programmed to treat guests? Well sorry bud but I'm going to have to go ahead and ask for your supervisor...

He talks a half step and fakes a trip, slamming the restraining bolt on the security droid's forhead, making him look like a bizarre sort of unicorn.

For frags sake that was close... Phew.

He looks back at his companions who've all taken up combat positions a ways away, then catches Astrid with her blaster covering him.

Nice to have friends! Not sure how I should feel about your appraisal of my abilities however!

He winks at her mischievously. He grabs the droid and they all wizz off in the speeder.

Just as Yorrik opens fire, the opera singer mid solo comes to a stuttering halt. A brief and awkward silence follows. Slowly a discordant almost sub frequency bass drone fades into being.

As it rises drums began to differentiate themselves from the throbbing and grisly bass drone. The cacophony echoes like thunder. A sudden chord stab by a tandem distorted kloo and slitherhorn rip through the chaos silencing the thunderous percussive groove. It echos piercing the air.

Shard bows his head, then looks over to Astrid.

Frag yea! This ain't no neo-retro smooth jizz pop sing song lullaby like they listen to on those bougsie core worlds... This is the real shizz!

The horns stab again as if to punctuate his statement.

This is the finest, scummiest Bang'n'Wail straight from the depths of the Trando section of Nar Shadda... Makes StaticCrash music look a holiday family jingle! Take the percussion from early Orchestral Gamorean chamber music, mix a little cutting edge Trandoshan Ripper in and finish with the nastiest screamingest avant jizz, and you got the Moff Divers! All female, all pissed off! There's the Gammoreans Degrah'Urk Bettle on Bass Viol, and Urpekel'mbragga on traditional percussion. Lyshukkk on vocals, ex-wookie slave and her trando girlfriend Shrrvi, I hadn't even gotten to the jizz wailers they recruited, well...

The torrent of noise soundtracks the battle the twists of various jizz horns squeel and screech over the raucous rhythm. Zyi gives a whole history.of the music pointing out the Moff Divers earned a system wide ban for their song Anarchy in the CSA , and a death bounty for their anthem Frag that shriveled up loon! (The emperor sucks bantha **** and can't get it up).

He turns to the droid.

So buddy, got an armory here? How about a rancor ranglers 'r' us? Where's your fire suppression system? Any other security measures you got here? Hey where's a good bite to eat I'm feeling peckish for some Duros street food. So what the frell happened here? Whose the Mr. Shade guy you were threatening to take me to? Got a good electronics store?

He peppers the poor droid with questions until they reach their destination.

Good... Zyi handled it.

(panning to acquire a new target)

Troopers, 4x4... excellent target 'til they break formation.

1eB+2eA+1eP+2eD : 1 success, 3 advantage [1eB=A/A] [2eA=A, A] [1eP=S/A] [2eD=-, Th/Th]

(boost is from Accurate quality, reduced range difficulty due to scope; 6 dmg; also keep in mind lancer is Pierce 2)

Yorik's initial volley, accompanied by Zyi's more approriate cacophony (now blaring even louder), nearly threw her shot, but the tight ranks graciously allow her to score a hit.

Sure... That's the one I was aiming for...

edit: (can 3 advantage hobble the trooper, even though lancer is crit 4? otherwise, maybe trip him up, and give a boost to the next party member?)

I think this might be a human Moff Diver cover band?
