Prison Break
OOC Date: January 31, 2016
Location: A 'warehouse' owned by the First Order on Seranno
Participants: Atlan E'ron, Gaarurra, Gerratt DeLong, Jax Greystorm, Nym Landala, Ophelia Lonefi, Oriana, Sesti Gath
A two pronged attack. It was time to strike back, but after the recon flight it was time for the Resistance to start taking back Serrano. The Starfighter corps save one were moving to strike hard at one of the Trooper outposts, intent to damage hard the First Order's ability to launch their own fighters and generally give the previously unopposed invaders a black eye. Dagger team however? Their mission was a little more subtle and perhaps even more vital. Punching through the prisoner center the First Order had set up and staffed with a bribed militia, their job was to extract the imprisoned settlers and get them off world. The First Order wanted their invasion to be seen as legitimate, but some extracted witnesses will go a long way to waving things under the nose of the Republic. They'd been given a warning however. While the militia was likely poorly armed, when they kick the nest hard enough Stormtroopers will likely not be too far away.
Only one fighter can be spared for air cover and the task of knocking down the prison's communications array, but Nym Landala had been assigned to the task. She'd been given operational freedom to chose the fighter she thought most appropriate to the mission, but with that came an added pressure. As of this mission? Nym was being placed in the role of Red One.
The landing craft loaded with Dagger team comes blasting out of lightspeed right above their destination. Landing would be in moments. Speed is key!
Standing near the Exit ramp of the Transport, Master Sergeant Delong calls out. "Ok Dagger! Welcome to it! Touchdown in 30 seconds, make sure your lids are locked, weapons are hot, and do not Shoot your Master Sergeant! It's bad luck!" Checking his own weapon, the middle-ish aged man readies himself for a fast exit.
Sesti Gath sits quietly in her seat, waiting, eyes closed. At the Master Sergeant's orders, her eyes don't open, but her hands check her armor and put on her helmet. Her medpac with it's cannister attached to the bottom is adjusted, and then her blaster readied. A bit of a smile tugs one corner of her mouth on the mention of bad luck.
Gaarurra sits beside sesti he's always wishing to be close should their be trouble. He seeks to protect her and keep her safe from well anything that could happen. He has done his last checks of his armor and weapon and for now its just the waiting game "Round two Sesti?" he comments with a little smirk of his lips.
Oriana had been stepped back a few paces, in row and ready to go for their upcoming fight. Armour on, helmet placed on with a tap on the top of her head she leans to the side a bit big brown eyes peering out to their leader. "There goes my afternoon. Now what is going to pair with a beer." She jokes and looks to the others with a bit of a nod in good luck.
It's a big responsibility and one that Nym is both excited and nervous about completing. This is the first time she's flown a solo mission for the Resistance off base. Patrol around D'Qar is a little different than doing something mission critical by herself. She might have picked an A-Wing to take out the communications array, but she's decided to stick with her tried and true X-Wing. The more things she's familiar with the better, so should she need to make a split second decision it isn't colored by a ship she hasn't been using as often as of late. After escorting the shuttle, she makes guides the ship toward the communications array.
Atlan E'ron checks his gear as he's sitting in his seat and ensures that his blaster is able to be drawn as soon as they exit the ramp. He also double checks his sword before he powers up the HUD on his helmet and gazing out towards the ramp waiting for the ship to touch down.
Ophelia Lonefi sits strapped into her corner of the shuttle - her first big mission with the resistence is about to transpire - she hopes she makes a good impression. She seems unnaturally upbeat about the situation. Double checking her datapad and her sidearm. Emerald eyes sparkle as she regards her companions in the shuttle.
Touching down in the sands on Seranno, all depends on speed. So far? Dagger team seems to have caught the militia of the prison unaware, but that's not to say their arrival is completely unnoticed. Even over the roar of the shuttles engines the resistance fighters can hear the sounds of shouting from the repurposed outpost, the beginings of an alert. High on the structure's perimeters two guards in their towers raise the rifles and take aim at those moving in. This is going to be a hard fight.
For the lone fighter escort, speed is even more important. If a signal of alert gets out, the distraction attack by the rest of the starfighters would be all for nothing. Now is the time to act.
Nym Landala tests her Pilot skill at a 50 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (68). Nym Landala tests her Ranged:fixed mounts skill at a 100 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (25).
As the ramp begins to drop, Gerratt raises his rifle and calls out. "Line out in an orderly fashion. Standard assault formations kids!" Rifle to his shoulder the specialist moves down the side of the ramp covering the exit of the rest of the team.
Sesti tests her Run skill at a 100 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (68).
On the command, Sesti follows down the ramp, then surges past the OIC as she moves into position. Head down, she trots through the sands, heading towards the walls and whatever cover she can find.
Gaarurra tests his Run skill at a 100 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (49). Oriana tests her Run skill at a 100 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (11).
The large figure that is the wookiee is all set or well as much as he can be at least. He looks to Oriana as well and smiles waving her direction. "Find somethin." Gaarurra comments he knows they are close to approach and it's now that his thoughts are all over the place but as they touch down he'll unbuckle and ready his weapon. He won’t want to be left behind and so he'll follow Sesti out quickly staying at her side keeping weapon leveled in case it's needed.
Go time, Oriana brings up her blaster at a ready, she'd follow in line with the others ready - or as best as she can be, for whatever comes as she moves into position and for cover.
Atlan E'ron tests his Run skill at a 100 difficulty. -Failed- (-55).
Atlan E'ron upon the order he gets ready at the ramp and takes off with the rest of the team sprinting for the cover and trying to be as small of a target as possible which isn't easy when you're a big old cat.
Ophelia Lonefi tests her Run skill at a 100 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (31).
Ophelia is no combat savvy veteran but necessity sees her small legs deliver her to cover just behind all of her new compatriots. She heaves a sigh of relief once she reaches safety.
It's not a hard shot, nor is it difficult to maneuver herself into position to take on the communications tower. Nym keeps the X-Wing low in an attempt to not alert them to the attack and get out any sort of communication out. Forgoing the cannons for torpedoes to ensure destruction in one shot if she gets her aim right, she focuses on her target and once she's in range, fires.
The torpedoes do their work and the tower is down. Nym's X-Wing whooshing past it after her hits. Quickly, she circles backward, scanning to see if the tower got out a distress signal. If so, the ground cover will need more aerial support and she'll be ready.
<Combat> Gerratt DeLong's attack MISSES Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (-21) <Combat> Gerratt DeLong's attack HITS Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (2) + Damage: No damage. <Combat> Troopers's attack MISSES Gaarurra at a 120 difficulty. (-3) <Combat> Troopers's attack HITS Atlan E'ron at a 100 difficulty. (28) + Damage: 1 wound points.
The blaster bolts begin to fly. While Gerratt isn't able to land a mark, he does at least manage to keep one of the snipers off-target. The other however manages to land a shot, but it's barely more then a scratch to sting the furred Atlan's side while the Resistance fighters make their advance.
Growling softly under his breath, Gerratt begins moving down the ramp. Still providing covering fire, he calls out on his Comms. "Dagger team. Kill me some snipers ladies and gentlemen. Let's clear that hole that our eye in the sky opened for us."
You test your Spot skill at a 100 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (24).
Reaching the front door, Sesti ducks underneath the fire of the snipers and puts her back to the wall left of the door. Looking both ways, she notices a possible depression in the wall along her side of the gate, and heads towards it, keeping against the wall for cover as she moves towards what she hopes is another, smaller door to get in.
Gaarurra tests his Spot skill at a 100 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (25).
Gaarurra knows that they must keep looking out, and that sometimes even knowing what your getting into isn't enough, but his weapon leveled and next to Sesti is a good start for the wookiee to begin their plans he looks to her nodding to make sure she is indeed alright. It seems that though it's time to test ones might as they say or well see if one dares to move and they do folowing Sesti as she continues to cover. He does have to dodge a bit as the blasts come flying narrowly missing him. For the moment acting as Sesti's rear-guard with his weapon at the ready.
<Combat> Oriana's attack HITS Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (47) + Damage: 2 stun points and 19 wound points.
As the snipers fire off their rounds Oriana hurries forward passing a quick glance to those they aimed at. Seeing Sesti move to something to the wall she gives a quick glance their way and then back up to where the shots were fired. Shifting position - keeping low for some cover the blaster in her hand is brought up for to take a shot and also offer distraction from their possible other enterance.
Atlan E'ron yelps a bit as he gets hit but he keeps moving until he's under the cover at the gate. He stands off to the keeping watch for heads to pop themselves out over the towers. He draws out his blaster at this point wasn't a reason to carry a pistol at a run and risk dropping it when he tripped... or got shot.
Circling backward toward the prison, Nym brings the X-Wing back in line with the others. She's still on the lookout for any TIE fighters or fighters that may be coming due to a distress call before the areay was knocked out. However, seeing the Dagger Team pinned down under fire and running toward the entrance, she narrows in on the towers and the guards shooting at the ground team. Hoping to give them some cover, she fires her turrets at the guards as she passes by overhead.
Nym Landala tests her Spot skill at a 150 difficulty. -Failed- (-63). Nym Landala tests her Ranged:fixed mounts skill at a 150 difficulty. -Failed- (-62).
Gerratt DeLong steadies his position, then squeezes the trigger on his BlasTech EL-16HFE blaster rifle, with a loud squeal and a burst of golden sparks a bright red blaster bolt goes speeding toward Troopers!
<Combat> Gerratt DeLong's attack MISSES Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (-11)
Still on a knee at the foot of the ramp, Gerratt keeps his aim on the snipers and squeezes the trigger once more. missing by a mile, the words that come out of the man's mouth are not polite or professional, thankfully his coms are off.
<Combat> Troopers's attack MISSES Oriana at a 150 difficulty. (-5)
Injured and now missing his buddy, the remaining sniper yells over his shoulder to the forces within the courtyard of the 'outpost', his wounds burning as fire rains down upon him. Stubbornly he leans over the railing and tries to blast the young woman who'd killed the other man, but his injury jerks his aim at the last second and the bolt scores against the wall inches from Oriana's form.
Sesti tests her Computer Use skill at a 120 difficulty.
+SUCCESS+ (58).
There it is. Every converted prison has a speeder bay or loading door somewhere. Sesti runs towards it, and a spray of sand shoots up as she plants her feet for the stop in front of the panel. Looking over her shoulder to Gaarurra to make sure he's ready to cover her, she stows her blaster. She studies the panel, then, with a few quick button pushes, the doors slide open and she reaches over her back to draw her vibro sword and vibro dagger, crouching low so that whatever is inside will have a harder time getting aim on her.
<Combat> Gaarurra's attack MISSES Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (-11) <Combat> Oriana's attack HITS Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (40) + Damage: 2 stun points and 16 wound points.
Moving with as much ease as one can in this armour there is a second where her eyes lift to see their comrade in the sky. As shots are fired she brings that gaze back down to the others quickly, because in battle there is only enough time to check your surroundings and not dawdle on placement of a blade of grass. Keeping her senses as keen as possible the warning sound of a shot going off gets her attention. It skims by her but well, she can't not reply. The girl has manners after all and hell if he is going to compliment the fact that she is a danger to him well she'll compliment his lack of aim back. Lifting her blaster Oriana shoots at him in return.
Atlan E'ron follows along with Sesti and Gaarurra as they move towards the speeder door instead of the main blast doors that likely have turrets and troopers and is just a bad idea to go through. He keeps an eye out for any other enemies popping their head out but looks like the rest of the team has them all covered for now.
Ophelia ambles around the compund to where Sesti and the rest of the party are making sure that they don't get flanked in their little rescue mission. She flashes everyone a winsome smile deeply incongruous with the dangerous nature of the situation they are in.
Nym manages to startle the guards without actually hitting them, so she circles back again. Seeing the fire fight from the outside mostly finished and having no targets she can hit without risking the others, she angles her X-Wing upward to keep an eye on the skies.
Nym Landala tests her Spot skill at a 150 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (17). Nym Landala tests her Pilot skill at a 130 difficulty. -Failed- (-36).
Seeing the last sniper go down, Gerratt moves to join up with the others. keying his comms, he calls out. "Finding anything fun over there Private? Need a sound off." Fetching up against the blast door, he nods to the others with a forced smile and a nudge to the shoulder for Oriana "Nice shooting."
<Combat> Troopers's attack MISSES Gaarurra at a 100 difficulty. (-64) <Combat> Troopers's attack HITS Sesti Gath at a 100 difficulty. (24) + Damage: No damage. <Combat> Sesti Gath's attack MISSES Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (-19) <Combat> Sesti Gath's attack HITS Troopers at a 110 difficulty. (7) + Damage: 2 stun points and 5 wound points. <Combat> Gaarurra's attack MISSES Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (-40)
Just as she opens her mouth to report what she sees in the doors, she hears the call for roll on the coms, and closes her mouth until the Master Sergeant is finished, then she speaks. "Found the prisoners, sir. Four cages, four guards on them. South side.. yhasu!" there's a pause as the shot pings off her armor. "South side loading dock," she finishes her report as she runs forward to close the distance with the guard her shot her before he can fire again. The first swipe of her blade mises, but she doesn't give up and keeps pressing the attack, drawing blood with the vibro dagger in her second hand.
Gaarurra the shot goes wide as it was rushed and he has to dodge to the side as a bolt comes streaming though he's quickly returning fire as soon as he's able to at the guard who shot at him. "Careful Sesti, i'll try to keep their heads down while you approach." he calls out even as he's pulling the trigger.
<Combat> Oriana's attack MISSES Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (-34)
They are down, Oriana then moves low and quick to where the others are, leaning against the wall to keep her eyes out in case others come barrelling down on them. Turning her head to Gerratt as he addresses her shooting she lifts a hand, using two fingers with a mid wave action to say thanks. Suddenly shots are going off and of course this draws her attention. Putting her weight on a heel and doing a half turn she'd peek over the cover and bring up her blaster to aim and shoot at one of the troopers.
Atlan E'ron arrives up to the speeder bay door that Sesti and Gra went through and pokes his head around to look and see what they're up against listening in on the comms as well but he's seeming to be running a bit slower now that he'd taken some singed fur from earlier.
<Combat> Ophelia Lonefi's attack MISSES Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (-52) <Combat> Ophelia Lonefi's attack MISSES Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (-55)
Ophelia having a line of sight on the guards from where she is standing attempts to light them up - pitifully missing and cursing under her breath. "No cookie for you Ophelia," she says to herself.
As Nym circles above and past the compound, she notices something odd in the main courtyard. It's a quick glimpse, but she seems to notices a large weapon. Assuming this is an attack on the ground crew, she's quick to try and pull out of her spiral. Instinctively and recklessly, she yanks the control stick around, causing her X-Wing to scrape and crash against the trees and branches, denting and scratching a side of her ship. The pilot winces, gaining control again despite wobbling and tries to make her way back to help out. Over the coms, she alerts, "This is Red Tw--I mean One, Red One to Dagger Team, there's something that looks like an E-Web in the courtyard. Be on look out. Trying to get closer to see if I can neutralize it."
Nym Landala tests her Pilot skill at a 110 difficulty. -Failed- (-8).
Hearing the firefight over the comms, Gerratt mutters under his breath. "mother sucking son of a wamp rat's sister. Lord save me from over zealous amateurs!" Looking at Ori, Gerratt calls out. "Sergeant. Break out the explosives. I either want 2 charges that can breach this wall. or i want one very good shaped charge. Dagger Team Get to cover and do NOT endanger the captives. We're going to try to ease some pressure on you." That said, the Master Sergeant goes back to providing covering fire as needed for Oriana to work.
<Combat> Troopers's attack MISSES Gaarurra at a 100 difficulty. (-24) <Combat> Troopers's attack HITS Sesti Gath at a 80 difficulty. (62) + Damage: 12 wound points. <Combat> Troopers's attack MISSES Atlan E'ron at a 100 difficulty. (-56) - Sesti Gath has taken 12 points of wound damage. She is currently Injured. Oriana tests her Demolitions skill at a 100 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (57). <Combat> Sesti Gath's attack HITS Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (15) + Damage: 4 stun points and 10 wound points. <Combat> Gaarurra's attack HITS Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (52) + Damage: 3 stun points and 31 wound points.
"There are only three, sir. Two and a half," Sesti ammends as her sword cuts into the trooper that shot her. With two hearts pumping the adrenaline through her veins, the shot that connects gets a grunt, but that's it. "The cages have some kind of force field. We will have them secured momentarily."
It seems not to be the walking carpets day, missing again and ahving to duck back. "Sesti, pull back." Gaarurra calls as the fire intensifies for a few moments. He leans back out to take another shot trying to bring them down, so far this isnt going very well. Though he can distract the trooper in question or perhaps more a he takes another shot the guard crumples to the ground and doesnt get back up.
Making things go boom. Big-bada-boom! That's this girls thing. So when the Master Sgt. gives her the order to break them out and slap them up on a well, she's happy to do so. Giving a nod to Gerratt and moving away to the wall, with his cover, she would pause briefly as she hears Nym call out over to the group. "Oh, shit." Says Oriana as she begins to work shaking her head. "Sir, they got a Eweb! That needs to be taken -out-! We'll be easy game to that thing!" There is no hiding the worry in her tone but she isn't going to stop her work either. The charges would be set, timer ready and she'd go to hurry out of the way. "Red One, good luck up there in getting that bastard!" She relays to Nym.
<Combat> Atlan E'ron's attack MISSES Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (-1)
Atlan E'ron sights in on one of the troopers and squeezes his trigger letting a yellow bolt fly out of the pistol and into... Well not into the trooper looks like its a bit off to the side this time.
<Combat> Ophelia Lonefi's attack HITS Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (13) + Damage: 1 stun points and 5 wound points. <Combat> Ophelia Lonefi's attack MISSES Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (-19)
Opelia blasts one of the guards halfway delighted at her minor victory she takes it on the chin when her second shot misses. "Take that! You filthy sentry!" Not so good with the tough talk even if her aim is improving.
After pulling the X-Wing up out of the trees, Nym aims for the courtyard in an attempt to take out what looks to be an E-Web. As she flies back toward the prison, she's a bit rattled by her accidental dive into the tops of the trees and wanting to get back to help. Pushing the throttle forward, she miscalculates her speed, soaring past it too quickly to get a good bead on the target. Cursing, she turns around, hoping to finally get a good shot.
Nym Landala tests her Pilot skill at a 110 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (66). Nym Landala tests her Ranged:fixed mounts skill at a 100 difficulty. -Failed- (-12). Nym Landala tests her Ranged:fixed mounts skill at a 110 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (23).
Finally, Nym gets back on course. The X-Wing banks and Nym manages to get her target into her sights. Finding a clean shot, she squeezes the trigger and fires on the E-Web as it starts to turn itself upward and toward her. While her first shot misses wide, the second hits. The power generator explodes, flinging troops off their feet and sparks upward. The E-web is destroyed and she soars back upward. "Red One to Dagger Team, E-Web's down! Good luck!"
Placing a hand on Oriana's shoulder before she can touch off the explosive, Gerratt touches his comms once more and calls. "Ok Private, How are things going back there? we've got distraction ready if you need it, And we're keeping an exfil route open." As he speaks, he raises his rifle ready to cover if necessary.
Gaarurra knows it's better the quicker this fight ends though for some reason luck had turned against him in this realm today, but its still time for action, and so he'll move back around the corner and take another couple shots at the remaining guards hoping to keep them on the hop as it were so perhaps this will be over more quickly.. he'll look to Sesti "Get out of there don’t turn your back to them though." he calls in his own tongue.

"Taken one down, two wounded, sir," Sesti replies on the comms. A bolt from the crossbow goes whizzing by and misses and she grimaces. She grunts as she moves in to try and finish the man before he can get another point blank range shot off on her. "Looks like they were getting ready to transport the prisoners. Shall we take over that transport duty, sir?"

Nym Landala tests her Spot skill at a 100 difficulty.
-Failed- (-1).
After her shot takes out the E-Web, Nym lets out a whoop of celebration. The X-Wing roars overhead of the ground team victoriously. Like a protective dog, however, she brings the ship around to continue her fly-bys. The ground team is under her protection. She's been made Red-One for now. For now, however, she sees nothing that gives her a reason to engage. Instead, she circles around in a way to ensure she will be close by should anything happen.

Crouched low for cover Oriana has her blaster in one hand and in the other is the detonator. Looking over her shoulder to Gerratt she gives him a nod and holds on hitting the button, awaiting the orders on what to do next.
Jax Greystorm tests his Spot skill at a 100 difficulty. -Failed- (-45).
With Blue 2 down for mandatory maintenance, Jax had been temporarily re-assigned to Green 1. The A-wing comes barreling across the sky at an insane speeds that Jax would miss almost anything with the naked eye. "Red 1, this is Blue 2 reporting in as Green 1. How are you holding up and how are the groundies? Alive and well?" He says as he throttles down and rolling into formation with Nym's X-wing. He's to her aft and Starboard flying in tight formation with the T-70. He calls back, "Exine... Damn it."
<Combat> Gerratt DeLong's attack HITS Troopers at a 100 difficulty. (36)
+ Damage: 4 stun points and 43 wound points.
Tapping Oriana on the shoulder, Gerratt speaks quietly. "Keep that handy Sergeant and stay on my hip." moving off around the corner, the Master Sergeant moves towards the entrance and raises his rifle. first target acquired, he fires and is already moving to acquire another target as he speaks into the comms. "Private. please do commandeer that transport so we can go home. i no longer feel the love from our hosts."
Gaarurra lets out a rather unhappy sounding wookiee noise as his shots miss again. He does recover though when the blaster bolts return fire and he's caster is lifted again to fire though the last goes down and so he's over to try and get to Sesti. "Your injured let me patch you up." He looks into his pack and will at least try to get her into working order all the while he'll look around getting a better feeling of the cages and all.
Nym Landala tests her Spot skill at a 80 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (26). Gaarurra tests his Spot skill at a 100 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (63). Sesti tests her Spot skill at a 100 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (7).
As Jax arrives in Green 1, Nym is circling back toward the others. "Welcome to the party, Green One. Just patrolling air spaces. So far it's a cake w--" Nym trails off as Artie starts to squeal behind her in warning. "Okay, belay that cake walk thought. I've got three TIE fighters coming in on a high angle."
As she starts to recalibrate her sensors, she spins the ship around to head back toward the others. "They're close. I'd swear they're right on top of us, Green One. Be on look out."
Sesti bats at the wookie's hands, even though blood is seeping out from the rent in her armor. "I have seen what happens when you patch someone up. I am fine," she tells him. "Worse than it looks. I will take care of it when we are clear. Yhasu, I was hoping the cages were on transports. Do NOT touch them..." She walks over to the first one and goes around the side, finding a panel, which "The cages are bolted to the floor sir," she relays over the comms. "They are easy to open, shall I send the prisoners out to you?" If she receives a positive answer, she'll hit the controls on the panels to let the first four out, isntructing them to stay down and together.
The team is reunited, but their arrival in the hold hasn't gone unnoticed. While the two air-support are about to have their hands full with the incoming TIE patrol headed to investigate the communication blackout, the blast doors sealing the prison area off from the rest of the outpost starts to move, its locking mechanism begining to open to what is surely going to be company in a moment.
Ophelia Lonefi tests her Spot skill at a 100 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (38).
"Good shot sir." Oriana says to the Master Sgt. Listening through their com she doesn't have much to add to the conversation but it seems like everything is suddenly goig smoothly. Well, that is until she spots the blast doors, she sees them unlock and begin to creep open. Cursing under her breath, of course this would go through the com too she adds to that quickly. "Looks like these doors are opening people. Sir, do I detonate? Thinking now may be a good time before we're rained down upon with shots." Her hand with the blaster is brought up, at the ready in case people come through before any further order is given.

Green 1 grins, "I'm breaking to Starboard, Red 1. Lets see if I can't soften 'em up for you on the side. May the Force be with you." Jax rolls to the right and loops around. If Red 1 is going to face them head on, Green 1 is going to come in at an angle and from the side. He flicks his shields to double front. "Lets see you Eyeball fight something faster than you." He says as his cross hairs turn green. Jax pulls the trigger and fires a pair of concussion missiles at the Tie his targeting computer has desinated as Bandit-2. The short range missile didn't take the time to arm like the torpedoes. Jax's finger toggling his shields to cover his backside as he goes flying through the Tie formation. Bandit-2 going towards the ground behind the A-wing.
Taking a firing position, Gerratt finds a comfortable perch for his rifle, training it at the blast doors. hearing Oriana, he speaks quietly. "Not yet Sergeant. Hold for my order and cover our people. Mama bear made me promise to bring you all home upright. Private Gath. in your own time, get those people freed and send them out, yes. Tell them to keep low."
Gaarurra finishes up his patch up job, not much but it will have to do for now. "The cages should be simple for ya, dont touch the outsides though enough current to knock me on my ass." He comments to her though looking worried because of the quick patch up for the moment though he'll level his bow caster towards the otherside door for now and only wait on guard.
Sesti tests her Run skill at a 100 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (12).
"Get the prisoners out!" Sesti directs Gaarurra, giving him a harder push away from her to cover the door as he keeps trying to patch her. "I told you I am fine," she turns with an exhasperated spate of zabrak, and moves to the next cage. "Everyone stay low and head towards the door we came in. Keep your heads down and go left. Stay to the wall," she directs them as she hits the panel release, and moves on to the next one, keeping low herself as she runs between the cages, hitting the panels to release them, giving the same directions as she goes.
Ophelia Lonefi tests her Computer Use skill at a 130 difficulty. -Failed- (-42).
Ophelia attempts a last ditch effort to close the blast doors - but fails - her slicing not up to scratch in this instance. "Oh fudge it! Looks like we are going to have some company people. Sorry," she says helplessly.
Unable to seal the door in time, Fee's slicing is cut short by the sight of the door opening revealing no less then six more guards, with almost certainly more on the way. These guards aren't so quick to start rushing into the room as the prisoners storm out of the cages, trying to make it to the back enterence where the others had blasted through. Instead they take position at the blast door and raise their weapons, the clear commanding officer giving a yell to open fire.

Troopers are coming out, Oriana would shuffle to a better point - not that it's that easy, but she does cover herself as best she can. Looking through her visor she'd bring up her blaster and aim. Unlike the few times before as she goes to shoot, it seems her shot goes off the mark and misses the trooper she was aiming at. Well, this deserves a curse, and that's what she does.

Gaarurra looks up and it seems their times up as he moves to unlock the cages to some of the prisoners. "We probably should get these guys outta here maybe block them in? I know, I know Sesti Iron-Zabrak." He says a little exasperated by her lack of worry for her saftey, though maybe only Sesti might udnerstand him which isnt overly helpful to their cause. He will begin moving towards the door hopefuly along side the others though will fire a shot while he moves perhaps to hold them off.
Green 1's sensors pick-up on the troops about to attack Dagger team. "I'm going in to get the ground team some relief. Give me some cover." Jax barrel rolls the fast moving craft and comes in for a strafing run. He lets out a yell at the top of his longs as he realizes he's diving at too great of a speed and sharp of an angle. At the last moment he pulls up at the last moment his shield collapsing and a rock jumping up to hit his armor on the bottom leaving a very nice dent. The alarms sounding in the cockpit as his ship starts reporting shields are down and his armor is in rough shape. "I'm alive? I'm Alive."
Shot blocked by civilians, Gerratt grunts letting his rifle hang, the Master Sergeant bolts forward through the civilians. mic still keyed as he speaks. "Sergeant get these civilians to safety. I'll cover your backs. Civilians are our priority."rifle hanging, the Middle aged soldier slips his Blaster pistols from their holsters, one in each hand as he moves for a clear firing position on the door.

As the TIE Fighters scream around them, Nym wheels Red One into place. Coming up behind Jax and Green One, she let's him take lead for the moment. "I've got you covered, Green One," she As he attempts to help out the people on the ground, she covers him, taking on the other TIE Fighters head to head as they come closer and attempt to engage them. Despite her best attempts, the TIE fighters have a bead on her and quickly fire. Her shields take a beating and the X-Wing she pilots rocks to each one.
Sesti tests her Run skill at a 100 difficulty. +SUCCESS+ (59).
"RUN!" Sesti commands, helping those that she can as she suits actions to words. Keeping down, and hoping the cover fire from the Master Sergeant and others will keep the troopers back, she makes a grab for Ophelia to steer her towards the door as well. She grabs a hold of the doorway as she goes out, holding on to it to spin to the side where she had operated the controls to get in in the first place.
Ophelia slams the blast door close button down not following Sesti for the moment. Infuriatingly she waves to the troopers before the door closes. "See you fellas," she says with the sweetest of smiles.
The door closing shuts down the incoming barrage of bolts to one or two that mercifully don't find any civillian or Resistance targets. It's buying precious seconds for prisoners to scramble for the loading bay door and out the rear of the outpost. The landing shuttle that had assisted with Dagger team's infiltration is already lifting up to try and move to the rear of the outpost, shortening the run.
Above, the TIE that had tagged Nym spots the rescue vehicle and begins to peel away, heading for the shuttle with plans to cut the rescue short. The other however banks and hunts the A-Wing now down its shields and noticably damaged. Its going for the kill.

With the door closing, Oriana turns, brings her blaster up and to shoot at the door to stop it from opening again. But, both shots miss. What the --- okay, so suddenly there is a slur of words but not in any language anyone knows. Most one could get out of it, is that she sounds down right pissed.
The alarms going off in Green 1's cabin are drowned out as Jax finds himself in back in a dog fight. The Tie chasing him just can't keep up wit the faster craft. Though his scopes showing the second tie breaking off towards the Shuttle. Jax breaks toward the Tie going after the shuttle. His weapons switching to concussion missiles. "Hell no. We all go home or no one goes home." The cross hairs glow as he gets a lock and Jax fires the missiles at the Tie. As it explodes, he says, "Except you. You're not going home."

Blasters coming to Bear, Gerratt unleashes his shots at the panel. Probably more than is necessary as he vents a bit of frustration on the inanimate object. Panel solidly killed, the Master Sergeatn turns and runs after the Civilians. "As soon as our ride touches down, Blow that charge Sergeant. Call it a parting gift."
The wookiee is going full tilt along with the others to make it out the door keeping track of Sesti and the prisoners both while he's doing so. Gaarurra looks back to see the door get blasted. "Hm, close." he says though looks on to help them all so they can start moving to saftey.
As the blast doors are no longer in danger of opening, Sesti turns from her own door post and runs towards the corner to check for any reinforcements sent around the outside. She draws her pistol, and peers around the corner, staying behind the corner for cover. She glances back, gauging the speed of the rest, and when to run to reach the shuttle at the same time as the last civilians.
Fee jumps back as the blast door panel explodes in her face. "Okay - why didn't I think of that?" She is heard to remark. She smiles at the other resistence fighters and races after them - jogs more like. The danger of the situation has not been able to put even the slightest dint in the little manic’s super cheerful demeanor.
Turning to go Oriana would follow along with the rest, keeping up at the pace, if anything maybe a step or two back. The point being that nobody surprises them and so with her blaster in hand she'd make quick glances around them as the getaway is made. Once the transport is down that little button she has been holding would get pressed, so things go boom.
As Red 1 break off to go chasing down the last Tie Fighter.. Bandit 3. Jax coms to her, "Happy hunting Red 1. I'll escort the shuttle off planet. Then double back to you if you need some help. May the Force be with you." He then switches to the main channel. "Good evening, Shuttle Defiant. This is Green 1 and I will be your escort off planet. The engagement zone is clear with a partial chance of Tie interference. Red 1 is handling the issue as we speak. Though I will be more than happy to take of any issues that pop up on the this trip. The sky is yours. Green 1 out." After the shuttle takes off Jax would pilot Green 1 into an escort formation and see the shuttle off planet.
The transport lands, and people pile in. Standing at the foot of the ramp, Rifle on his shoulder once more, Gerratt stands guard until the last of his people is in the shuttle. Once they begin to lift off, he retreats into the vehicle itself, watching the ground until the loading ramp is closed and sealed. Taking a deep breath, he looks around at the Civilians and then Dagger team. "Good job Dagger. Proud to be with you." And with that, the master Sergeant makes his way further into the transport to make himself busy and find an extra medic to help with the injured.
Gaarurra is covering the flank with anyone else who might be doing so making sure the squad and the prisoners get to the shuttle and to saftey before he will book it to get on himself and get all buckled in for transport home. He will store his weapon only then, and looking to Sesti "You sure you’re alright, I can patch up better now."
<Combat> Sesti Gath's attack HITS Gaarurra at a 75 difficulty. (47)
+ Damage: 5 stun points and 2 wound points.
Boarding the shuttle next to last, since the Master Sergeant waits, Sesti was slowed a little by the blood seeping from her side. "For the last time, stop fussing over me like I am a child," Sesti growls at Gaarurra, slapping his arm away. "It cannot be treated with my armor still on, anyways. I will make it to the base." She walks over to a seat and straps herself in for the ride back.
Fee comes last into the transport having raced across the room to close the blast door. "That's it?" she asks the rest of the resistence fighters with a wide smile of innocence on her face. "Well drinks later everybody?" she says continuing to beam at everyone.
The shuttle doesn't really seem overly fond to the idea of sticking around. With a rush of thrusters and kicking up a cloud of dust, the transport holding 16 scared locals and some tired and injured Resistance fighter sweeps skywards. By now word was probably starting to get back, the First Order would probably hear about the attack and be scrambling fighters to intercept, but it was a wasted gesture.
As Oriana's charges are finally set off, exploding in one final violent 'Screw you!' to the opposition, the ship prepares to make its jump for lightspeed and carry our heroes free and clear. This was a victory, however small, it was the first step and something the 'good guys' could hold on to. A single spark can light the biggest blaze.
