Log:Saber Squadron: Sabers over Socorro-Vector Flight
Vector moves in to complete the mission.
OOC Date: November 6, 2015 (Optional)
Location: Socorro
Participants: Jax Greystorm as Self/GM, Asalla, Kasia Ashkuri, Nerys Greystorm, Rey Skywalker, Yuun
[ Jax Greystorm (Jax)]
Sentinel Flight had cleared out the TIe fighters and Guardian flight had took out the Anti-space craft guns and the shield. Guardian flight had also agitated the asteroids around the base in the explosions they caused. The base was currently awashed with small chunks of space rock colliding with it. The light work had been done and now it was time for the Vector flight to do the real work.
The mission was simple, make it to the central computer extract what data they can on the place. Then set the place to blow. The Painted Guardian, Jax's modified Helix Interceptor, jumped into Socorro system. The Corellian jedi was not at the controls but it was being few by one of the members of Vector Flight. The small freighter goes in for a landing in the hangar of the base and sets down.
The hanger has the stark sensibility of the First Order. Nothing out of the place. Everything clean, and no crates. TThe fighters racks in the Hanger are empty as they've been deployed. There is a VT-49 Decimator sitting not far from the ship. The alarms are going off. There's a black bb-unit with a square head rolling for the blast doors as quickly as it's little ball body can take it. Running past the droid is a team of stormtroopers.
[ Rey Skywalker (Ry)]
Upon setting down, Rey emerges from the interior of the freighter, her lightsaber already in her hand as she raises it up. There is a direct mission here and she's hoping to get it done as soon as possible. The young woman looks back over her shoulder. "Okay, follow that droid!" Rey says with gusto as she points to the fleeing BB-unit that she believes is likely headed in the right direction.
She rushes forward and raises her saber up to her side to ignite it, not for attack but for defense purposes just incase!
The golden blade leaps out of the dark metal hilt and thrums with a ghostly growl in her hand as the young woman in white clothing rushes forward after that square headed droid!
[ Nerys Greystorm (Nerys)]
Nerys, who had not been tapped to fly today, instead, stood holding on to one of the cables that would normally have been used to strap cargo down, as she waited for the painted Guardian to touch down in the base. She had, also, clearly, prepped for the mission, as she had a myriad of weapons stowed on her person, and a blaster in hand. The ID10 droid who was her constant companion was also ready, though, unlike the sadly ground-dwelling woman, did not need supports, and she hovered beside Nerys' left shoulder, her own weapon draw. The blaster, longer than the droid was, required two hands, shotgun fashion, with Bitty's two spare legs lifted up to brace.
Quite unlike the Jedi, perhaps, Nerys did not appear to have 'only fight defensively' in mind, as she jumped down from the ship and moved to intercept the stormtroopers. "Find cover if you need it," she called back to whomever on the team was coming out behind her.
[ Asalla (Lala)]
Sitting quietly onboard the transport is a tan-skinned woman dressed up in a suit of armor that seems unfamiliar to her as her occassional glances down at her body suggest. Asalla spends the time on the ship toward her first mission chatting nervously with an R2 droid that accompanied her, referring to it as "Ceefour" and it's only once the shuttle preps for landing that she starts to get more serious. She's nervous as one might expect, but she puts on a brave face. Maybe it'll help calm her nerves. She reaches for a blaster pistol that had been resting beside her and as the shuttle bay opens she jogs behind Nerys, pausing at the bottom of the ramp to survey the hangar, letting her attention draw to the golden lightsaber and then to the group of stormtroopers. She'd never been in actual, deadly combat before. Those arenas on Taris were just for fun. This was real, so she readies her blaster and stands by for orders, first of which is taking the other's advice for cover. The R2 unit rolls behind her, doing its best to stay out of a fight but to still keep pace if it's needed.
[ Yuun (Yun)]
Yuun who isn't apart of Saber Squadron was asked to assist on this mission which much to his surprise, he excitedly accepted. As for the piloting part, it's a good thing he isn't flying, him and asteroids are not good friends, they hit harder then they do and they also are tricksy. If you don't believe him ask him. Still sitting in the gally of the Painted Guardian, he waits until they've landed and as they do, he is the last to clear the ship. Closing the hatch as he exits so that the Stormies didn't get any funny ideas.
Having been briefed on the mission, he would do what he can, he does have technical skills so he should be able to put them to use. His weapon was unclipped from his belt and in his hand in just a slight movement, "Yes Ma'am." is all he says as he hears what Rey tells them and Nerys. They are of this squadron and he will follow their orders.
[ Kasia Ashkuri (k)]
Kasia is here to help. Somehow. How? It's hard to say at present, but she's dressed in her slightly too nice robes, and sensible makeup, and even some nice sparkly earrings that aren't likely to cause problems while in a fight. Probably. All that to say she likely looks pretty out of place on such a serious mission, but she's quiet and confident, for now sticking close to the others as she listens.
[ Jax Greystorm (Jax)]
The BB unit's tiny square head spins around as Rey calls it out. Her Yellow lightsaber held aloft. There's a bit of binary escaping from the little droid. 'Oh no.' Then it finds a way to find just a bit more speed as it goes barreling further into the base. If it was as easy to just catch the little droid. In the teams way was a group of stormtroopers in gray and black armor. A full squad of 10 troopers. 1 Captain, 3 Sergeants, and 6 privates. The Captain waves his men forward, "It's the force witch, Rey! Stop her! Open fire." Then the stormtroopers do what they do best and fill the air with red daggers of energy. Several of them hitting the Painted Guardian. We're telling Jax that'll buff out.
[ Rey Skywalker (Ry)]
Rey gives a look back over her shoulder as she sees the others coming with her. But the presence of the Stormtroopers are her main focus. She sees their captain and with a quick motion her right hand lunges up and out to draw the Force through the distance between them. She feels his presence within it and sends a telekinetic wave directly toward his chest! She tries to send him flying backward, but the chaos in the room has him only skidding across the deck instead.
"Keep your focus and wits! These troopers will break if we stay strong!" She encourages those with her as she sweeps her saber around to keep it up and ready to defend others with her from blaster bolts if needs be.
[ Nerys Greystorm (Nerys)]
Nerys and Bitty, who were not, in any way shape or form, force witches...well, the jury was still out on the ID10 droid, but the other one certainly was not, moved to directly engage the troopers. The BB unit, for now, was a problem for later. Now, the problem was the troopers, and two matched pair of droid opened fire, doing what they could to thin the herd, and, if it was possible, to keep the troopers on the back foot. The fired as they moved, attempting to keep the focus of fire on themselves, allowing the rest of the team to move out behind them.
[ Asalla (Lala)]
Asalla's brown eyes narrow in focus as she quickly studies the room, following the other blaster-user's lead both in movement as well as targets. When Nerys shoots at the sergeants, so does Asalla. Her first time firing a lethal shot at someone. Lives are at stake, though, and friendly ones at that, so she doesn't hesitate. One shot goes low, striking the ground in front of her target, but the next one strikes true. Her R2 keeps its distance, and a lot of it, hiding beneath one of the landing struts to the ship until the group are ready to safely leave the hangar.
[ Yuun (Yun)]
Yuun looks ahead as the Storm Troopers come their way, he sighs a little knowing this will not go well. They are only following orders, he shrugs and he steels himself. Hearing Rey's voice he smiles a little, when the blaster fire starts, Yuun is moving! Seeing where Nerys is shooting, he moves to the opposite side of the hall. His first opponent is the second Sergeant, his blade flashes outward as Yuun cuts down the trooper, hoping to hit him fast enough that there isn't too much pain. He quickly side steps to his left staring gat two Privates, he moves in on them as they try to flank him. Yuun has been in plenty of fights and he knwos he has to be faster then both, and with the Force as his ally, he moves in a blur of motion, taking the head off one, and cutting through another. The two bodies drop around him, Yuun pulls his blade up into a mid-guard, readying for their attack.
[ Kasia Ashkuri (k)]
Kasia has a weapon in her hand, but she doesn't activate it just yet. Her eyes track the troopers, only flicking away once to glance at Rey as she speaks, then back again. The hand not clutching her weapon lifts to send out that unseen attack against one of the troopers, not hard enough to be fatal yet, but the armored person is thrown back hard enough to hurt.
[ Jax Greystorm (Jax)]
The jedi and members Saber Squadron spring into action. The Stormtrooper Captain flings back across the hall way by Rey's telekinesis crashes to the ground and props himself up firing at the jedi paragon. Then the sargents and a number of the troopers go down. Those that remain open fire as the fall back as if ordered to do so. Though the one trooper that Kasia hit with her mind, moves to slam the emergency release on the blast door.
[ Rey Skywalker (Ry)]
The incoming blaster shot from the Captain is sent away with a popping squeal from Rey's lightsaber where it impacts against the deck! The young Jedi rushes forward then toward the Captain and the closing blast door. The Jedi doesn't keep her run straight and narrow however, instead she lunges in to the air with a sideways flip that has her landing several feet further away from where she started, her saber twirling around and plunging in to the door controls before the blastdoor can fully close! The golden blade bites in to the wall and sends sparks, and molten bits cascading to the ground!
[ Asalla (Lala)]
While she doesn't have a soldier's eye for a battle field, she does have a Lorrdian's eye for movement. A blaster shot narrowly missing her, she peeks her head out behind cover just enough to notice the movement beyond, calling out, "more! They're setting up E-Webs!" She points with her free hand for anybody that's looking, indicating the incoming group further back.
[ Nerys Greystorm (Nerys)]
"That, is not going to end well." Nerys' comment was almost offhand, as she did not rush the blast doors. Instead, she took a moment, blaster held low but ready, before she nodded to herself. "Let me see if we can get behind them and do some damage." That said she moved to the side, heading towards what appeared to be a ventilation shaft, the exhaust large enough that multiple people could fit inside. "Bitty, see if you can access the schematics of the base and start on a plan to isolate the oxygen system and shut it off."
[ Yuun (Yun)]
Yuun is fired upon, he sees that the others were able to fend for themselves but it's that pesky door that's coming down to close. He watches as Rey plunges her blade into the control panel to keep the door open. Yuun was able to make it to the control panel but well, the door isn't closing he thinks or hopes, and he looks to the others and move to keep guard them.
[ Kasia Ashkuri (k)]
The others take care of the door quickly, which affords Kasia the opportunity to run straight through that stopped door with her weapon held out to the side. A flick of her thumb activates the thing, and a vibrant pink blade comes to life. She doesn't hesitate now, the blade coming in from the side to strike down one of the privates serving as defense between them and other, uglier weapons being set up. Another slash in the opposite direction dispatches a second, and the thrust of the pink blade polishes off a third. She doesn't say anything to try and frighten the last remaining private, but she does round on the trooper like she plans on going after him next.
[ Jax Greystorm (Jax)]
Kasia dodges into the hall taking out all but one of the storm trooper privates. Though before she can give the guy a chance to run or menace him. He's caught down in a hail of E-web fire. The Captain for his part has belly flopped over and is crawling towards the safety of the heavy gunners. There's a rain of energy going down the hall. It seems to miss everyone but one stray bolt finds a way to strike Nerys.
[ Rey Skywalker (Ry)]
Rey pulls her saber out of the wall with a sizzle of energy and smoke in its wake. She dances back in time to avoid a blaster barrage and raises her blade up to her side. Her eyes focus on the E-web ahead and she does as she has in the past...
The E-web lifts up off the deck a foot or so before it starts to careen away from the trooper who had it, pulling them along until it rips free of their hands and skids, bounces and twists its way toward Rey's position. She lets it stop beside her where it teeters back and forth on its metal feet before settling again. Rey looks to the E-Web and then the troopers as as she nudges the cannon with her hip and aims it right back at them....
The implication is clear as she sweeps her saber around in front of her....
[ Nerys Greystorm (Nerys)]
Nerys, who had been just been about to open up the ventilation shaft, had more of her attention focused on that than on the e-webs that were being set up. And that was likely to her detriment, as one of the rogue bolts shot down the hall, just clipping the woman. But, given the pure damage output of the weapon, it blasted away most of the plating on her left leg, and burned through the flesh beneath. if there was a sound from the woman, it was not an audible one, as Nerys simply propped herself up on her good leg and kept working. When she did speak, her voice was set, "Take down those e-webs. I'm going to see if I can get behind that gum emplacement, cut off reinforcements." It was a good thing Nerys worked out. She's have to do most of the work with her three good limbs. And her smol droid. Bitty, following Nerys' commands, waited for the woman to go about her business, before she took a potshot at the remaining stormtroopers.
[ Asalla (Lala)]
Valdr-Asalla's eyes shoot wide when the turret opens fire on the group and her expression turns to one of concern behind her heavy helmet when Nerys takes fire. "Stay with the ship!" She calls out to her R2 and she rushes out from behind her cover to run for Nerys. Whether she's running to assist her, or to help in her mission, or both, remains to be seen, but she has a much easier time than the other woman climbing in to the vent, keeping her blaster pointed away from those with the lightsabers. After all, she's still an amateur, and this would be an awful time for an accidental discharge, especially full of adrenaline as she is presently.
[ Yuun (Yun)]
Yuun doesn't like that Nerys got hit, though with the E-Webs taken care of, Yuun does as ordered. Surrounding himself within the force, trusting it like he always does. Yuun dashes forward, charging towards the remaining Storm Troopers, his arms swept back behind him. His long legs giivng him long strides to close the distance quickly.
[ Jax Greystorm (Jax)]
The last two heavy gunners seeing a pair of jedi running down the hall have a laspe in training, they need reconditioned, and instead of attacking with the one weapon that could probably take out a jedi and not realizing Rey wouldn't fire down the hall with Yuun and Kasia there. They surrender. Their hands raised. At the end of the hall the team of jedi woudl find another blast door closed and needing opening.
Team ventalation shaft would work their way to the other side of the hallway and be able to drop down and with a push of a button allow the jedi through. Though there's a certain little BB-unit peaking from around the corner and soon as it sees the pair it takes off down the hall.
[ Rey Skywalker (Ry)]
After the troopers surrender, Rey sweeps her saber around in a full circle, just slicing the E-web cannon in two. "Oops." She says as she starts onward down the corridor. She glanced back to the two who went in to the vents, but just keeps moving ahead. A nod is given to Kasia and Yuun. "Lets secure these two before we move on...
Once that is taken care of though, Rey is there when the door opens. Her brows held high she notes the fleeing BB-droid again. "That little bugger is leading the way and I'm not even sure he realizes it...." She mutters as they move onward ahead. "Come on, lets finish our mission and get out of this place..."
[ Nerys Greystorm (Nerys)]
Nerys made decent time through the shaft. It was clear, from the way that the woman moved, that she was no stranger to having to operate while injured, and she, at least, did not need to climb down from the shaft. She simply stepped off of the edge and allowed the grav belt in her armor to carry her gentle back down to the ground. She did, though, exchange her blaster for a silvery baton, which she flicked out into a spear as she descended. A useful weapon, and a make due support if it was needed. The Blast door was soon rising, and Nerys followed in the BB unit's wake, "Bitty, follow that droid. If it looks to be trying to do anything you don't like, destroy it."
[ Asalla (Lala)]
Asalla puts her blaster away just long enough to climb out of the ventilation shaft, drawing her blaster back out as she hits the ground, wide-eyed and perceptive as she's just been in her first fire fight. She gives a nod of recognition to those with the lightsabers and follows along behind Nerys as the group make their way to the computer stations. "If we get ambushed, I can cover you," she offers, though her tone of voice is indicative of a half statement, half question. A Mon Cal fresh out of the fishbowl, metaphorically speaking.
[ Yuun (Yun)]
Yuun disengages his lightsaber and helps with cuffing the two storm troopers. He looks around and double checks to make sure that they don't have any other surprises coming from separate directions, but now that they are at the last doors and at the computer terminals, Yuun frowns. "Sorry I need to work on my other computer skills, I can't slice through the security, can anyone get this?" he asks.
[ Jax Greystorm (Jax)]
It had turned into a bit of an ordeal, as Rey was partially right. The BB unit was leading them around. It was having fun sending the team on a whild gundark chase. Till it did finally lead them into the control room. Then it rolled right up to an air shaft then fired one of it's grappling hooks to reel itself up to the ceiling then bounced into the airshaft. Then went rolling away. It left the team standing in front of a series of terminals in a control room of the base. There was plenty to see, as it showed everything from ore harvesting, smelting, and processing for shipping the finished product somewhere.
[ Rey Skywalker (Ry)]
Rey swipes the activation ring on her saber causing the blade to glide back inside the hilt. She watches the BB-droid vanish away after leading them around. "I can't tell if that BB was doing that on purpose or thought he was distracting us..." She mutters as they reach the stations. She clips her saber to her belt again and starts to access one of the pannels. It buzzes loudly though which makes her sigh and bang her fist against the terminal lightly.
"I'm locked out." She announces as she walks over to some of the others to observe. Copy whatever we can find on to whatever data storage devices you have with us, and we'll... get out of here before reinforcements show up." She says then before walking toward the hallway again to watch and make sure they are not about to get cut off...
[ Nerys Greystorm (Nerys)]
Nerys, allowing the smol droid to lead her, headed for the terminal Bitty selected, the pair bending over to begin the process of working to assist the team in harvesting the information they had come for. It was no easy job, that was for certain, but Bitty was a very determined droid, and with enough haranguing of her steed, the pair began the process of downloading the relevant information. "Yes, I know you'd like to go after him, but you can't. I need you here." Nerys would pay for that later. Bitty would make her pay.
[ Asalla (Lala)]
"No, the coefficient is derivative of.. actually, look," Asalla leans in to type a few things in to the console manually for the droid that's slicing in to the system. A mathematics expert, she's not much of a slicer but slicing is, ultimately, just numbers. She'd put her blaster away while Rey guards the group and she continues coaching the droid though a few of its issues as it works to slice through the system, but time is an issue here and she's trying to get Nerys out of here before her other leg gets blasted. "Now corelate the prime numbers," she nods, watching the display. "There you go!"
[ Yuun (Yun)]
Yuun clips his lightsaber back to his belt. He watches the Storm Troopers to make sure they aren't going anywhere. As he watches Nerys droid do what it does, he smiles. "Eveyrone has one of those ID10's." he says as he walks over to the computer terminal and tries to assist, and which he is able to help gather the information they came here for. He smiles, and is able to add the info to a data disk. He then looks to the others and is ready to go.
[ Kasia Ashkuri (k)]
Kasia stands near Yuun and the surrendered troopers with her lightsaber in hand, still on and ready should anyone get any sudden wild ideas, but she's making no effort to be aggressive beyond that. When he moves, she doesn't, staying there until it's time to move on.
[ Jax Greystorm (Jax)]
On Squadron Channel the sound of Saber Leader's voice can be heard. "You guys doing alright in there. We just got some sensor scans of a VT-49 escaping the facility before it disappeared like the Ties were. Did you guys see anyone in the facility? What's that Seventy? Therminals in the reactor are spiking? Time to get out of there!"
The team does just that, with the data they needed, a few prisoners, and only a few burn marks on Jax's ship before the who ever was there does the teams job and blows up the base.
