[Day 5, MA, Combat] Secure the Relic

[Meiyokashi]

Stepping forward she draws her blaster from her side. Intent on her target she steps with menace and malice. All of this focuses in.on Praxton. First shot pings a bolt off of his right pauldron, second off his chest, third off the right pauldron again, and another off his left. With rage she just screams as she fails to enact her will onto the universe. All she wants, all she needs, is to have him pay.

Yet she doesn't land true.

[Meiyokashi]

"You heard the order Cass, we pull back now! You'll have another chance," he says, digging in to give her the space to fall back toward him. Forte's bolts striking true all around him, pinging a couple of bolts off his helmet and ultimately making his day not too great. Babysitting was hard work.

[Lysa Ordo]

This was her shit, explosions, blaster fire pain, light, sound everything in a maelstrom of sensation. Then darkness, then a gasp of breath as drugs flooding her system and the world comes into sharp focus once again.

She tasted the iron in her mouth as she smiled wickedly.

"If its not a game then why am i having so much fun!" She clicked her launcher twice, selecting a barrel that had bright right stripes on it as she aimed out at the troopers.

She looked back at the others and pulled the trigger, grabbing Forte and Raven pulling them out of harms way.

She looked to her friend "Hey Ray" she gave her a finger gun "Boom." She mimicked the firing of it as the space behind her there was a soft fwomp and that heavy scent of ion in the air before the space exploded outward with a mighty conflagration of Fire and Plasma.

[Meiyokashi]

There wasn't long. None of the troopers would have noticed their moments were finally up, and their worries finally done. However, Crow was a man who survived way more than some whack job with a thermal. He dove, hard against the ground, and then the blast rocked the whole of the ship.

In the wake of the explosion there was a gaping whole in the floor and ceiling of the hall. Above the rays of light of mid-day shine through for a couple seconds. Then- a shadow. Crying through the sky is the sound of Imperial interceptors doing a pass overhead. Silence.

Crow was gone. Nowhere to be seen. Perhaps somewhere down in the lower decks. At least, that's where Freshie was looking in the wake of it all.

[OOC]

Groups 1, 3, and Crow are removed from combat.

One PC may roll Knowledge Warfare at Hard, Two Setback.

[Meiyokashi]

As well, Lysa, Forte, and Raven please make Coordination checks at Hard, one Setback.

[Lysa Ordo]

D5 MA coordination hard set back: 3eA+3eD+1eS 1 success, 1 threat

[Raven Cadera]

Recognizing what Lysa was doing, Raven quickly hunkered down into a crouching position next to her crazy friend, one arm raised up to cover her neck and head from any flying shrapnel or other dangerous debris.

She was about to make a quip about Lysa pulling out the party-bomb when suddenly they were forced to be quick on their feet...

[Meiyokashi]

Each of the warriors caught near the blast all manage to scramble out of the way before the floor gives in beneath them. Across the chasm now cut into the ship the troopers on the other side remain active and committed to their roll. While Freshie too remains, but her intent appears to be wavering with the loss of view of Crow.

[OOC:]

Combat will resume from here.
Group 2 and 4 are at Medium, and cannot be approached without gear assistance.

Freshie is at short with all PC's and Praxton.

[Meiyokashi]

Weapons raised the troopers seem to catch a thought. Looking between themselves all of the individuals in both remaining squads come to a similar decision. Without word the two squads turn from the fight and rush back out from the way they came after the sergeant.

That was... odd, wasn't it? Why would they disobey orders?

Round 3 Close.

[Praxton]

When the rest of the team nearly fell further into the ships depths Praxton was quick to rush to the edge. Giving a hand to Raven when she scrambled out of the way, and Lysa as well to reduce the strain of her weary body. Being brought back to the threat by the shout from behind him, calling his name. Spinning quick Praxton fires twice but neither bolt meets contact with the warrior.

[OOC]

Manuever: Move to Short, near Raven.

Increase ranged defense once.
Add Setback to Freshie.

[Meiyokashi]

Freshie breathes in hard, fury burning a pit in her chest as she stares him down with that blaster in his hand. Shooting twice one of her bolts strikes fiercely against Praxton's helm scorching the front of it terribly.

Standing in the wake of it she looks to the other Rebuilders warriors clambering to get back, ready to fight. She was alone. Crow has tried to help her and now he was gone but.. maybe she could still do something. No, she wouldn't be like him.

"When her memory got so bad all she could do was talk about you I had to sit there and stop myself from telling her how you just left. Time.. and time again.." she says, removing her helmet to reveal long brown hair and deep blue eyes that has a touch of familiarity. Throwing her helm down to the ground she rushes off the side and jumps. Hitting the jetpack to soften her drop she rushes off into the depths, searching for where Crow might have fallen. She didn't have long, after all.

Combat is over.

[Raven Cadera]

Having accepted Praxton's hand to steady herself, she was a bit too slow to react in time to push him away from the shot. There was still some flashes of bright light in her eyes from the blast as she tried to fire after Freshie, but the bolts only hit against corroded durasteel as she slipped out of sight.

"... I have a feeling we shouldn't hang around here too long. That explosion messed up a lot." Her tone was focused, clearly taking into consideration the status of her team. There were other thoughts swirling in her mind right now, but this was not the time or place to address them. An armored hand touching Praxton's side to assure him of her presence was all she needed to convey that sentiment.

[Lysa Ordo]

"Wow! I've been sitting on that thing for awhile! That was even better than I thought it would be." Lysa, as bruised and bloody she was under her scorched beskar she had a delightful burst if energy, no doubt partially from the multitude of drugs in her system.

"How much longer is the weird lady gonna take getting the helm?"

[Irizka]

Durasteel doors open revealing the helm where they'd left Irizka. Behind them there are the ancient bodies of Mandalorians in their seats still manning their positions until the ship has fallen. In front of the far central throne lay the old bones of a Mandalore long past, their helm removed and waiting in Irizka's hands.

"You uphold your end of this bargain. However.." they look past to the destroyed hallway. "That is going to prove problematic. Do you have other means of leaving this place?" they ask, looking around until someone offers a solution. Overhead another pass of interceptors is heard, but they don't sound as if they go too far.

[Forte Kryze]

"I've got a way. I can bring one other person with me at a time using my ascension system. "

[Irizka]

"One at a time would be rather slow. We have need to not tarry," they say.

[Raven Cadera]

"I should be able to climb out on my own, maybe carry one with me," Raven added in, knowing that she could use her whipcord much to the same effect. Her visor focused on Lysa and Praxton to hear what they had to say.

[Praxton]

"I can carry one from here," he says, directing attention to the backpack on his back. Though Praxton seems distracted, lost in thought. There has been much revealed today and none of it makes sense.

[Base roll to climb is Athletics Hard with two Setback. Jetpack negates. Ascension gear makes hse of it's own ruleset.]
