GM note:
(Ooc) first off I want to say im sorry for the lack of updates of late, Ive been very busy with university and have been trying to keep on top there. Please be aware that I intend fully to keep this RPG going. Updates maybe coming on the weekends from now on (call it Saturday / Sunday night) then during the week. Also im sorry if you feel this update is less than par. Im feeling sick and tired. I promoise the next one will be better. Thank you (/ooc)
Sho'ana Lanii got done manning the turrets and returned to the cockpit. During her time in the turret she had fire off a round blast hitting two TIEs and forcing the pilots into evasive maneuvers. Finally after wasting a few more shots, she returned to the cockpit asking if the boys had missed her. Sitting down in the chair behind Das, she noted that her little stunt had forced the TIEs squadron leader to force them into a guessing game. Now no longer doing strait strafing runs against the YT-2000, the TIEs instead seemed to try to be herding the ship towards the tractor beams of the Imperial star destroyer (ISD), now identified as the Vengeance. Throwing the shields to the forward position, she felt the ship rock as the TIEs did another strafing run against the ship hitting the hull. Looking at the tactical display she noted the escape victor and hoped the Vengeance’s captain wasn’t aware of what Xall had planned for their escape route….
Sael Hirikt and Fal Bari in the hyper drive compartment meanwhile had been hard at work on the hyper drive. After making sure his work as was clean and precise Fal had watched as Sael carried out his orders and then set about fixing the hyper drive with the tools he had. Eventually, he noted that, while it would work, it was mostly being held together with spit and a prayer. Looking over at Sael, he noted “this thing is good for only one jump, Xals got to make it work cause if he doesn’t, we’ll burn it out” then pointing to the side compartment he noted “theres two back up hyper drives back there that if our main burns out we can salvage or try to use. However that will make the journey twice as long and may cause more structural damage to the ships frame” Feeling the ship rattle again as blast hit the ship, Fal noted the pang of the blast as if it was hitting metal full force, that Fallen Xall must have swung the shields full forwards if they were alreadying hitting the hull. Suddenly he felt the sweat forming on his brow as the generator in the hyper drive gave a gentle whine and slowly started up…..
Xallonax Ishess meanwhile in the cockpit had swung the Syned Dawn around and was aiming towards the escape vector. The ISD captain must have noticed it for the TIE wings started doing strafing runs against the shields and hull. Xall was sure if he had had the comms on he would have been getting yelled at from the ISD’s comm. Officer. Behind him, he heard Lanii gulp as the ship rocked, and the metal strained. Xall then noted the click on his panel as the hyper drive button gave a gentle hum and started warming up…….
Das had been able to get the coordinates from the computer and forwarded them to the hyper drive and Xal. Noting that Lanii had returned from the guns he set about setting the guns to defense fire to keep the TIEs off their back as he switched the shields to the forward position and reversed powered from weapons to the hyper drive and the engines. This would leave them virtually defenseless but their engine output would hopefully allow them to outrun the TIEs and the ISDs. As the TIEs did another run against their hull hitting metal and plates, Das felt for sure that the ship was about to give in or have a breach, looking over at the picture of his wife he kept near his seat, he hoped that the empire hadn’t found her since their escape from Twin Suns Service platform a week earlier. Once they had gotten the message that they were now traitors to the empire, Das had felt his whole world coming down, and everything he knew coming to an end. Shaking his head, he brought himself out of the past and into the present, and the trouble that it brought with it….
Quick recap:
Das is in the cockpit with Xal and Lanii. He has swung the power towards the engines and shields leaving the Dawn virtually defenseless
Xal is piloting the ship over the hull of the Interdictor as he maneuvers and weaves to escape the TIEs and imperials. He has noted the hyper drive is now functional again…
Sael and Fal are in the hyper drive compartment, they have gotten the hyper drive working again but it could burn out at any moment. They are ready to head to the backup hyper drives in the next compartment over if the main one burns out or bust…
Lanii is in the main cockpit behind Das. She has been taking data on the Imperial star destroyer and is assitng Das with the tactical display and escape coordinates.
