Kandosii Beroya'se IC

By P-47 Thunderbolt, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Beginner Game

Maya finished up with the wound she'd taken, putting the contents of the medpack away as she got the confirmation that the job was done. Setting her datpad to download the security footage, she spun to the console, she unlocked Gorka's secret exit, and turned to the two guards still tied up. "Well, that's that, looks like you're unemployed for the time being," she announced, kicking the knife the other guard had dropped across the ground to their feet. "I'd untie you, but, well you saw how that went last time. Your friend will probably be out for a while longer, so you may want to get some stimpacks in here once I'm gone. Also, you'll need to cut the power to the exterior panel to stop the door mechanism keeping the rest of the guards trapped."

Collecting the datapad once the download had finished, Maya gave them a wave goodbye and headed out the door. It was unlikely the guards would try to come after them now that Gorka was dead. She turned the corner and headed down the hallway to where the others had taken down Gorka. "On my way. Unsealed Gorka's escape route, should hopefully be a lower profile exit. Didn't seem like they got a message out, but whatever that explosion was is probably enough to have someone coming to investigate," Maya said through the comms as she headed past the sealed barracks door.

Cade's voice came over Maya's comm, Huh.. the escape route is a bit... messy. huhh, up you go ner'vod.. Ok, Ma'ika, we're headed to the escape route, Dar'ika is injured so we might be a bit slow.. keep an eye out for trouble.

Darien grits his teeth as Cade pulls him to his feet, glancing over at Maya as she enters the room. While Cade helps him over to the lift, the others discuss where to go from here. The consensus seems to be that Cade should back up Ge'tal and Maysh'la when they go to see Jabba's representative, while Falmok and Kara look after Darien and the ship.

When they reach the door at the end of the hall, stepping over or through puddles of Hutt spatter, Cade hangs back with Darien while the others make sure it's safe. The door is solidly built, but the walls around it took severe damage from the rockets that finally did in Gorka. Fortunately, the mechanism is still functional. Kara and Vhal stand on opposite sides of the door and Kara counts down 1... 2... 3... and presses the button. With an unsteady grinding noise, the door slides open to reveal a landspeeder, clearly built for a Hutt, and a pair of Weequay. The Weequay had their blasters drawn and were looking towards the door, expecting someone to come out of it, but not knowing who. At the sight of the Mandalorians, they drop back further behind the speeder, swearing at this turn of events.

Unknown to them, there was another Mandalorian in the area. One who had built his name and repertoire not just being a good shot and handy fist, but one made out of healing, knowledge and artefacts.

This particular Mandalorian was walking through the area, when he saw the two Weequay standing guard, blasters drawn. Sensing something was amiss, he had hid behind a wall, intending to find out what was going on.

And to his surprise, when the door the Weequays were facing ground open, the male’s eyes was met with other Mandalorians. Even more shocking was that some of them were injured. However, not one to jump to conclusions, the new Mandalorian crouched down, watching what would happen.

Falmok and Kara move to engage the Weequays, Falmok flanked around the left, Kara the right. Falmok seemed to score a decent hit on his target, forcing him down to a knee. Kara managed to get her target in the shoulder, but it seemed the Weequay's clothing protected him from the worst of it.

Ge'tal, Kara called over the internal comlink. You're up verd'ika.

“Fierfek.”

The Mandalorian would curse before he sprung up dramatically, his hand flying to his blaster as he pulled it out, firing at the Weequay the dala fired at, but missing, his stun shot slamming into the ground, ruining his dramatic entrance.

The guard Kara shot reels, pressing his back against the speeder in an attempt to minimize his profile before returning fire. His hastily squeezed-off shots largely miss as Kara spins back behind the hood of the speeder, but one shot clips the blaster and sends it skittering out of her hand. The other one stands up squarely and fires several shots, striking Falmok directly in his chestplate at point-blank range.

Leaping into the fray, Ge’tal draws her Beskad and slashes the Weequay that Falmok shot.

Maya moved along with Ge’tal, keeping him interposed between her and the closer Weequay. As he slashed at the thug, Maya continued to the side of the alley for a clear shot on the other thug before leveling her WESTAR and firing, grazing the other thugs temple, just far enough off to prevent a lethal hit.

Cade helps Darein forward and aims at the Weequay Ge'tal was attacking and fires. The shot hits the weequay in the head, it whips back and he collapses in a heap. Where did that stun shot come from? Cade called out.

Falmok sidestepped around the airspeeder and got an open shot at the second Weequay, taking him down. He slowly took a knee and began scanning their surroundings through his carbine's scope.

As Cade half-supports, half-drags Darien to cover, Darien gasps in pain at the movement, but settles back against the wall as Cade lets go of him and fires at the Weequay.

As soon as the shooting started, the foot traffic quickly began to clear out. Shootings are common on Ord Mantell, and most know what to do. A few people duck into alleyways or establishments, but most either sprint for cover or just hit the deck. The speeders all move as quickly as they can out of the way, and within a few moments the street was mostly clear. By the time the shooting stopped, it was completely clear and the combatants have a clear view to the other side of the street, able to just make out the other Mandalorian lurking there in the shadows. Seeing no hostile intent, they hold their fire.

"Kara, let's get this speeder going," Maya calls out quickly as she circles, keeping her blaster trained on the other Mandalorian. Since they weren't shooting, she wouldn't either, but that didn't mean they weren't hostile. Addressing the Mandalorian, she nodded respectfully. "Vor entye. Gar burc'ya ra aru'e?"

Thank you. You friend or foe?

The new mandalorian stepped out from behind his cover, hands raised to show he meant no harm.

”Burc'ya vaal burk'yc, burc'ya veman”

He replied.

”You have an injured vod. I can help. I was trained by the baar'ur.”

a friend during danger is a true friend.

medic

The speeder is a rather unique affair, armored and clearly tailor-made for the Hutt, but similar to many hover limos. Conveniently, the passenger compartment is big enough for a wounded Mandalorian to lie prone with enough room left for a medic. The front seat of the vehicle has seating for two. The doors were already unlocked, presumably as Gorka was trying to make his escape in the vehicle, and starting the speeder is a simple matter of confiscating the keys from one of the fallen Weequay.

Kara searched the Weequays for the access keys, she also collected a blaster, 2 comlinks, and loose credits. Kara handed the comlinks to Maya. See if you can eavesdrop on these... Alright Dar'ika in you go... She turned to Cade and tapped her helmeted forehead to his. Cuyir ulyc kar'taylir darasuum.

You too.. Cade responded, squeezing her arm.

be careful love

“State your name and Clan,” Ge’tal challenges the newcomer.

Cade snorted in amusement at Ge'tal's almost constant challenges. Cuyir gedeteyar par te little kebise, guuror narudar.. He whispered to her. Cuyir ogir solus vutyc gar're haa'taylir par? Cade asked her, lightly tapping his beskad.

be thankful for the little things, like temporary allies ..... Is there someone special you're looking for?

The new Mandalorian ignored the female at first, quietly working on the injury. Taking out his medpack, he lifted Darien’s helmet, working quickly to heal the injury before helping him place his helmet back on again.

”Wu. Clan Zakai.”

He replied, referencing the Clan of Mandalorians that served as the bodyguards to Duchess Satine.

“House Kryse, huh,” Ge’tal replies with contempt. “Bunch o’ pacifists.”

Well, he isn't Kyr'tsad, so there's that... Kara said. cuyir gedeteyar par baar'ur, ner'vod.

Wu tilted his head towards the Ge’tal.

”You do know that we fought against Clan Kyrze as part of the Clan Vizla at first do you...? After that we were granted the position of guardsman to the Duchess.”

"Tion Zakai tom'yc ti Vizsla? Kyr'tsad?" Darien maintains a measured tone, but the Mandalorian Civil War is still a raw wound for him and he finds it very hard to forgive. Considering that this Mando'ad is not wearing Death Watch armor (and is treating his injuries), he is willing to extend the benefit of the doubt until he finds out more. "Bal gar cabuor Kryze..." The combination of Death Watch and New Mandalorian affiliation is distasteful to say the least, but perhaps this one is different. Not everyone's future is dictated by their clan.

Tion Zakai tom'yc ti Vizsla? Kyr'tsad? = Zakai allied with Vizsla? Death Watch? Bal gar cabuor Kryze... = And you protect Kryze...

“No. We were allied to Vizla because our clan was under House Vizla. We are not Death Watch.”

Wu replied.

Kara watched the exchange with narrowed eyes behind her visor, hairs on the back of her neck stood up. Let's sort this out later, She told them. Let's get out of here before Gorka's thugs get out here.... She got into the drivers seat as Falmok helped the newcomer get Darien into the back. As she drove off Cade gave her a subtile wave and kept watching the limo until it rounded the corner.

Kara tried to keep on the side streets and alleyways on their way to Solus, her mind racing with plans for the limo once they got there.. Keeping it parked in the bay was out of the question, that would just attract trouble. She would have to dump it somewhere away from the ship. Hey newguy.. Wu, have you come across any BlackSun bars or hangouts while you've been here?
