PBP Alt Univ: Clone Wars: IC

By EliasWindrider, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny Beginner Game

Mireska focuses on the unconscious Obi-Wan beside her, calling upon the Force to heal him again and - hopefully - remove some more of his terrible injuries. While the Force does answer her call, it still feels a bit uneven in this place of suffering. Despite that, it's a relief to see some more of Obi-Wan's wounds start to close.

Unsure of the situation, Mireska then draws and activates her lightsabre, ready to defend herself and Kenobi from anything that breaks through the circle of Jedi around them.

Heal on Kenobi plus Medicine (to remove Crit), maybe Flow : 3eF+3eP+1eA+3eD 2 advantage, 4 Light Side, 1 Dark Side

Medicine skill check: no successes (therefore no Critical Injury removed), 2 advantages (remove 2 Strain from Mireska, leaving her at 1/15 Strain).

Heal power check: 1 LS pip used to heal 10 Wounds (Intellect 4, Medicine ranks 3, extra LS pips 3) and 10 Strain on Kenobi. This counts as the second of five daily stim pack uses on Kenobi.

Incidental: Draw lightsabre (Quick Draw).

Mireska is ready to use Circle of Shelter OOT to protect Kenobi, and Guardian of the Republic to prevent further attempts to target him.

"Pilot," Captain Wraith speaks into the comm, watching the battle droids advancing on the beleaguered Jedi below through the transport's now open side door. "I want us between those clankers and the generals, understood?"

"Yes sir, right away," came the pilot's response as the LAAT/i banked hard towards the floor of the massive arena.

"That goes for you too, Sergeant," Wraith added into the open comm between their two LAATs. His gauntleted hands firmly gripped onto the door mounted heavy repeater. "Hit 'em hard, brothers."

Both LAATs dive towards the arena floor in a hard banking maneuver, brilliant green laser beams lancing out of their cannons towards the advancing battle droid formation.

(One LAAT will fire at the approaching Droidekas with their forward laser cannons, the other will fire on the droids attacking Tanari and Wraith will attack the droids going after Ker'see.)

Attack one: Forward mounted laser cannons operated by a minion against the droidekas. Two Successes and Two Threat. 70 damage to the Droidekas.

Attack Three: Wraith uses aim maneuver and fires door mounted heavy blaster turret at droids attacking Ker'see, at long range(?). Going to replace the boost from aim with 1 success via clanker killer. 2 Successes, 1 Triumph. 15 damage and use the triumph to crit.

Captain Wraith's helmet comm crackled and yoda's voice came over it, "Captain, here you will stay, the fallen check for survivors you will, in command of 10 gunships you are until transports come for survivors. Lead the battle will I."

Edited by EliasWindrider

"Copy that, general. We'll get the job done."

"Gunships three through six" Wraith yells into his comm, the repeater in his grip pulsing as he mows down a small group of battle droids targeting on one of the downed Jedi. "Target the main clanker formation with rockets and proceed to engagement zone two, drop your squads and provide covering fire for the generals on the ground."

"Seven through ten, soften up those clanker front lines with your laser cannons, then drop your troopers at engagement zone one and provide covering fire. You too Scrap."

The comm crackled in response, "Yes sir, right away... roger that... on it," as the LAATs begin their attack runs, their repulser engines pierce the sky above the advancing droids with their high pitched whine.

Explosions rocked the arena as rockets detonate, kicking up huge plumes of dirt and smoke at the center of the droid army, only to be followed by emerald beams of searing laser fire raking across their front lines.

Blasting a swath of mechanical carnage through the separatist droid army, four LAATs emerge from the smoke, streaking towards Mireska, Randi, and Obi Wan Kenobi. Blaster fire harmlessly pocking their hulls as their landing gears impact the firm hard pack of the arena floor. Dust and pebbles buffeted into the air from the force of their thrusters. Clones eagerly leap from the small crafts, raising their blaster rifles, ready to return fire as their boots hit the earth, while others still, hurry to aid the fallen Jedi, emergency medkits and stimpacks at the ready.

"Generals," one of the clone sergeants speaks up, "we're here to help."

Another urging two squads forward, "form a perimeter brothers, no clanker get through us, not today!"

The troopers target the closest minion groups.

The remaining two squads of Clones, and two clone sergeants, in this batch attend to the Jedi who need assistance, sticking anyone who needs a stimpack with one and otherwise assisting them. I'm not entirely sure what they all need. Probably need to discuss that in OOC.

Towards the middle of the battle the five other LAATs come in for landings between the Jedi and the approaching, plasma spouting, storm of droids. Clone trooper boots hit the dirt, their blasters at the ready, Sergeant Scrap barking orders to his men.

"Squads beta, gamma, echo, I want firing line right here," the clone sergeant yells, gesturing to point in between the droids and the battered Jedi knights. Let's send those droids back to their makers, show 'em what we're made of."

His attention turning to the Jedi, "the rest of you assist the generals. Stabilize who you can and evac the wounded."

Sgt. Scrap and the other two squads of five minion and their sgts attend to the Jedi's in need.

Staring at the white-armoured soldiers who have suddenly appeared and are now firing heavy weapons into massed groups of battle droids, landing and forming defensive perimeters, and generally doing their ultra-competent best to secure both the arena floor and audience seating ... Mireska can at first only say in confusion "Generals? Who are the generals?"

(OOT comment!)

Mireska starts doing what she has been trained to do at every natural disaster, catastrophe, and post-battle site that she's ever been sent to: triage and healing.

Sometimes she has to reach into the murky borderline between life and death in order to bring people back, but she is determined to save as many lives as possible today.

Fallen Jedi stabilised: 34 = (3x5) + 4 + (3x5)

(This might explain why she's still only around 50 Morality, and not a LS Paragon.)

As the unfamiliar aircraft screech into view over the arena it adds to the momentary confusion, drawing Tirani's attention. He winces for a moment as the barrage of rockets and blaster fire sweeps through the ranks of the battle droids. "Well I guess that means they are definitely on our side and not Separatists."

Dodging the continued efforts of the remaining droids, casually cutting down several stranglers, he widened his attention to the arena as a whole. So many jedi lying fallen where they were struck down, bits and pieces and in some places piles of droids, the white armored soldiers taking up positions and taking the fight to the remaining droids...the actions of 'that Fett" and his escape...Count Dooku......how had it all come to happen so badly....what exactly had happened? "There is always an answer, always a reason..What happened here?"

Tinari realizes that Coleman Trebor was struck down by a lightsaber, probably count dooku. He also sees a glint of light from the stadium seating, nearish to where Ker'see shoot jango, it turns out to be a chrome plated blaster pistol.

A clone trooper, replies " you are ma'am, the Senate commissioned us as the grand army of the republic with the jedi as generals for oversight. What are your orders general."

After receiving instructions from Mireska, the clones medevac Obiwan Kenobi and 8 other of the most seriously wounded surviving jedi out aboard one of the laats which takes them up to the big cap ship the clones came in on. Thanks to Mireska's medical leadership 34 of the fallen jedi are revived or stabilized enough to last until the get more comprehensive medical care aboard a clone ship and later the at the jedi temple on coruscant.

Pausing from his thoughts and examination of the arena, Tirani moves over to Master Trebor to see if he can be saved though Dooku's skill leaves that unlikely. Realizing the wounds from Dooku's saber were fatal he straightened the body, pocketing the fallen jedi's saber to make sure it was not lost in the confusion. Seeing that some of the white armored soldiers where working with the fallen and wounded, he called out to one.

"Master Trebot is here...when you can, see to it his body is retrieved if possible. Tell me though, who are you...all of you? Those of us that survived, we owe you a great debt."

Ker'see picks herself up after the medical treatment and stumbles around looking for her weapons. Next to her bow is the blaster pistol form the bounty hunter. She tucks it into her belt and wobbly walks to the nearest Laat and the cover it protects.

"Is there a medic?" she asks to the troopers...

As he looks over the podium are again, a thought occurs. Looking around he finds the head of one of the damaged droids.

"This one looks like it might have been in the right area..."

Prying at the access port on the back he attaches a cable from his datapad and tries to re-rout power to access the memory module.

"The red wire here should do it..."

I'm a certified battlefield medic General, I'm sorry I don't know you name yet General. I can give you a stimpack at the moment. If you need more than that, General Tanohdi is a healer, she's over there (points to Mireska), but since you're up and walking you'll likely get triaged to the end of the line.

Captain Wraith's common crackles and he hears his own and yet not voice say,

It's over Sir, the Genosan separatists and their droid army have been routed, exfil of the remaining generals shouldn't face enemy fire. General Yoda, wants you to pack up and ship out as soon as possible but no sooner. Making sure that every survivor gets off this rock is the priority .

The 86 surviving jedi, out of the task force's original 212, depart Genosis aboard on of the GAR cruisers. Many are bruised, burned, shot, or worse. As Mireska Tanohdi works tirelessly in the ship's vast medical bay. Besides fellow jedi, many of her patients are the soldiers clad in white armor. When the second one takes off his helmet, Mireska thinks that this must be the unluckiest set of twins in the galaxy. After the third the perplexed Mireska thinks "Triplets wow that's uncommon" after the fourth she figures out that they are clones and wonders how many different genetic templates are used in the army, by the time they reach coruscant she's fairly certain that there is one template for ground troops but she's unsure about pilots.

The cap ship arrives in orbit of coruscant, and a weary Mireska Tanohdi arranges for the jedi patients to be shuttled directly the temple. Obiwan is on the first flight. Mireska is on the last. Master Yoda is waiting for her. With me walk and talk, young Mireska . Mireska starts to walk in the direction of the med center but Yoda does not move, you're quarters this way are, tired you are, rest you need. As Mireska turns and starts to plod slowly in the direction of her quarter, Yoda shuffles beside her. Hmmm, much turmoil I sense in you. Weight of coruscant, rest on you, it does not. To die, prefer most jedi would, than another to fall cause. Careful of the path you chose be. Those lost on genosis, we miss. Those that on genosis fell but alive thanks to you, grateful I am. But to die in the light is preferable than the dark to live in.

A day after getting back to the jedi temple, there was a knock on @RandiQuade 's door. She opened there door and didn't see anyone and thought the younglings were pranking her again. Then she felt something hard strike her foot. Down here, I am, hee hee said Yoda smiling up at her. Come in, may I? Yoda doesn't wait for an answer and just walks in. It was almost comical to watch the grandmaster of the jedi order *climb up* into her chair. hear what you did in the arena I did. Most impressive. Sense your turmoil about it I do, afraid of this I was. A jedi's strength flows from the force when calm she is. of the slippery slope you are on, be careful you must. Faith have I, that sort it out you will. If talk you need, listen I can. Hmmmm?

Mireska sighs, nods, and quotes the final line of the Guardians of the Whills funeral prayer: "'In life there is the Force, and in the Force there is life. And the Force is eternal.'"

... However, when she sits down late that evening to meditate on the day's events, she will have one snarky thought. It's all very well for those who are so strong in the Light and who sit serenely in the Temple, but for those of us who have to struggle for every little success while trying to save as many lives as possible - Jedi or not - in the blood-stained mud and misery of real life outside of the Temple ... Thought unfinished, she sighs and turns her mind towards attaining serenity, determined nonetheless to take Yoda's advice to heart.

From what she's seen - and the news and rumours that she's heard - serenity will be much-needed in the days to come.

I must compliment Yoda's guilt-tripping skills! :)

She's definitely not seeking the DS, however she's not focused on attaining LS Paragon status either. Her dedication to her work keeps her Grey more than any deliberate acts of Darkness.

Next morning, feeling re-focused and re-energised after both her late night meditation in her quarters and an early morning meditation in the Room of a Thousand Fountains (not to mention some much-needed sleep), Mireska makes a quick stop at the Temple's Quartermaster (buying/installing both a lightsabre and an armour attachment, and modding the latter), and checks in on how Obi-Wan and the others are doing in the Halls of Healing.

Once Ker'see is dismissed from the medics she heads to the training area and takes out her bow. She begins loosing the bolts into the targets from a long range ensuring she doesn't make the mistake again.

Once the survivors of the Arena have been evacuated to the strange wedge shaped ship that delivered this new and strange "Grand Army of the Republic" Tinari gets cleaned up and then sets to work. During the downtime of the return to Coruscant he makes an effort to check in on each of the survivors that are available. He chats with and comforts as best he can, but also carefully looks for information in their stories to make sense of the Who, What and Why of the battle. Information on those present on the podium as well as the course of the battle are all of interest to him.

He will make particular effort to make contact with Kinoebi if possible, as well as Ker'see since she is the only other Jedi involved with fighting Fett as far as he knows. Once that is done he will seek out Captain Waith to get his view of how the battle went and why.

The Battle of Christophsis

Several months after the Battle of Geonosis , Count Dooku and his Confederacy sent their Droid Army under General Whorm Loathsom and assassin Asajj Ventress to capture Christophsis , [5] due to its strategic position [4] on the Corellian Run [7] and resources, while Admiral Trench blockaded the planet with a fleet of 30 warships to prevent Republic forces from liberating the world. [4]

During this time the Republic had sent a relief force under Senator Bail Organa to aid the people of Christophsis, who had become trapped due to the invasion. [4]

While Christophsian rebels fought the Separatists, [5] the Christophsians eventually were forced to plea with the Republic for help, due to worsening conditions and depletion of supplies. The Republic decided in favor of this due to the pleas and Organa's worsening situation. The Republic dispatched Jedi Generals Tinari Wen , Randi Quade , Ker'see , Korren Mayvus , Mireska Tanohdi and Shin Ethan and clone captain Wraith to disrupt the blockade and deliver Senator Organa's relief supplies. They eventually decided to send 4 of the jedi and Captain Wraith ahead with a fleet of Star Destroyers with Shin Ethan and Korren Mayvus, and following behind in Shin Ethan's flagship, the Negotiator . Shin Ethan also decided to bring along an experimental stealth ship with cloaking abilities

Well... this seems like a mess...

Ethan sighed as he stood on the bridge of his flagship, reading through the mission details and details about the current situation.

Where are the other generals? Are they here?

The male then turned and asked a member of his bridge crew.

In her shipboard quarters, Mireska sorts through the items about to be taken on the mission.

It's a strange, strange world these days, when Jedi Healers are lugging around explosive charges and grenades, she thinks to herself, before sitting down to review the manuals that came with the demolition kit.

Ker'see sits quietly with her personal companion the Nexu Duchess. She was impressed by the beasts strength on Geonosis and so decided to track one for her companion. Its ferocity was hard to get through at first but now it has become a loyal companion.
