Noventa - A Star Wars Story

the light of the fire from the wrecked speeder reflected in the big man's eyes as he watched the wreckage burn "yeah. I guess we should." his voice had far away quality to it as he spoke, like his mind was elsewhere for a bit.

Kor shook his head, clearing his thoughts "come on." he said simply as he turned away and started heading for the rest of the group.

Outcome:

The cargo of the hauler was secured. The homestead was not destroyed by the collision. One Scout Trooper was captured, alive, and handed over to Militia Custody.

For their efforts, everyone involved is given 2000 credits, from Militia coffers.

Soren pulled up the comm to his mouth, "The targets have been neutralized."

"I guess we should head back." Soren said to Kor in a softer tone.

"Yeah... let's get out of here. I don't feel like getting blown up today. You alright, darling?" she gave him a look over, making sure he wasn't hurt or anything, and could pull the load of loot.

"I'm fine, Honey." He offered with a easy smile as he hefted the load. "What about you? You okay after that tumble we went through?" He paused to look the foamy Twi'lek over for a moment before turning towards Cal.

"Yell if you need any help, okay!" He offered helpfully to the older man.

Cal just sighed.

"Sounds like the speeders are here." Wincing, he made his way over to the ladder. "Let's head out. Uhhh... I'll go first." It was with some effort that he climbed the ladder, but of course, he needed to go first so that if he passed out on the way up, someone could catch him.

Fey was visibly more shaken than Kai at the sounds of an explosion.

"Yeah... let's get out of here. I don't feel like getting blown up today. You alright, darling?" she gave him a look over, making sure he wasn't hurt or anything, and could pull the load of loot.

It wasn't hard to see the explosion in the distance and Kai couldn't help but shake his head. From the loots of it the speeder was down,and all because a few people were a bit too Gung-ho. "seems like a few people wont be making it back home tonight." He murmured as he finished packing up everything.

"We should get out of here though, no use standing around in a crash."

“Well... lets hope the one that survived can let us know what’s going on.”

Kor covered his eyes with his arm as the detonator went off. He approached Soren and extended a hand "we weren't going to capture them alive." He said with a frown inspecting the wreckage of the speeder.

The blast blew Soren back a couple of feet to the ground. He turned his head towards the explosion after the heat had dissipated to see the wreckage left in the detonator's wake.

Soren stood slowly and said, "Well... they didn't get away."

She shook her head, laughing a bit, the motion of her head shaking shoiwng what looked like a barcode and serial number tattooed on her neck. "We failed this mission, but we're just parts of a bigger machine. The individual doesn't matter. But our orders are clear. Succeed, or die." Her thumb shook over the detonator, as the Militia Airspeeder came down, landing in front of Soren.

Just as she released her thumb. There was a flash of light blocked by the airspeeder, which shielded Soren and the approaching Kor from the Blast, though the pressure wave was enough to knock then off their feet.

The beings inside this airspeeder, of the three that arrived for pick up, weren't as lucky.

"What's there to live for?" Soren said with a shrug of his shoulders as he focused his sights on the woman. "I don't have any friends, family, or future... Not even a mission I need to complete... unlike you all. Hard to fulfill orders when you're dead."

She sneered. "Then we die. We have no intentions of going with you." The woman was a zealot, special forces of special forces. Surrender was never an option. She held the baradium fueled weapon out.

"We are prepared to die for the mission. Are you?"

"Problem with your proposal here is... the further I step away from you the more dangerous it is for me and not for you. And as bad as this may sound... I don't give a damn about the guys behind me. But I think we'd all like to not die here. Why don't you put that down and you can come in and talk it out. No one needs to die right now, which is what happens to all of us if you throw that fancy little bobble."

She grinned, pulling her hand from behind her back. In it, the distinctive chromium plating of a Thermal Detonator. "You and your friend are close enough." The light blinking, showing it would detonate as soon as her hand was removed from the device.

"This will clear your airspeeder friends, and you, from the face of this forsaken planet. Taking me and him with it." The detonator whirred with the activation of the dead man's switch.

"You want them to get blown to hell? Stay where you are. Want them to live? Then turn around. Walk away."

Kor had fallen behind but he was much better at running than he was flying. His powerful legs propelled him quickly forward towards the little stand off.

Soren stood with his blaster aimed at the pair while he said, "I think it's time to come in then. There's no getting away."

After Discussing with Soren:

The sound of wailing airspeeders came over the gathering of the Rattataki, the woman and her minion, and the quickly running Kol. Members of the Militia were on their way to recover the group, but one speeder peeled off.

Kai Wryssald wrote:"Alright." Kai replied, getting all the gear together for transport.

"You want a pair of these boots by the way Cal? " He gestured towards the rocket boots. "Anything no one else claims I'm going to take back to the ship. We can always use a bit of extra fire power, and it's not like anyone is going to pay us for our help here."

"Sure, fine." Cal waved a vague hand. "I'll see about the pay, though. Maybe the militia has a few funds they can scrape together."

Kol, you drop back one range band, finding yourself at long range from the Group.

Soren, you find yourself at short range, almost engaged with the duo. Though you are quite skilled at Stealth, the Blue Haired one leveled her specialized blaster rifle at you. "I see you, Rattataki." She hissed back, keeping her eyes narrowed, as her cohort stood by her side.
