Screed calls out, "Logic dictates turning would be better for shaking them, but if you think the bird can't handle it, then it's your choice.  You know what she can take."  Screed prepares to hold on.

"Things are startin to fall off this bird, I don't know if she can take much more."

[OOC: Barring anyone else's comments we will be going straight.]

PM

Screed calls out, "Well, if we're not turning to get rid of these things, and don't want to turn at all, why don't we just stop and try to take them out?  The next intersection may require a turn."

"Something about sitting still I don't like, makes it too easy for 'em."

Screed chuckles, "As opposed to slamming into a wall because we don't want to turn and having to walk home if we survive the crash and the battle afterwards.  You're the one who said you didn't want to turn.  Do it now with the best chance of taking out the sentinels or don't do it at all.  Just sayin'."  He shurgs as he braces himself for impact either way.

I think Shadow's going straight, but please confirm the exact maneuvers.

"Gonna try and go easy on the ship and go straight,  so get your guns ready!!"

Codec reroutes the power source in his EM rifle and grins as the power grid on it lights up with an energetic *ptiiiiinnnnngggg*. "Well let's get this over with. FULL STEAM AHEAD!!!!"

The Hyperion, now broken down and on its last leg, plunges forward.  The remaining 7 Sentinels are able to attach to the ship with a loud clunk.

You begin scattering to take them down with your EMP rifles.  Shadow and Codec remain on the bridge.  Locke is helping Silicon regain consciousness.

Jade finds a squid and takes it down with her EMP rifle.

Screed finds one but it jumps to the side and he misses.  Now, it targets in on him.

Cala finds a squid and shoots it down.

To your side, X and Hammer are taking down a squid that got a little too close to your Matrix jack in seats.

There are 4 Sentinels left.  All have attached to the ship.  You do not know if they are inside or not.

Screed tries to not get shot.

Dracos, on the otherhand, tries to shoot the squidies that aren't his shipmate.

Sorry, I forgot to include Dracos in the last list.  My bad.

The static on Codec's screen breaks...
[oh great...]

"Guys! We got a dead in 2 Km!"

Shadow's face grows pale.  "A dead end?  Are you sure?  Start looking for a place to set this piece of junk down and ready the EMP pulse."

Shadow stares out at the darkness "I sure hope this thing stops."

"I'm positive, drop the ship as best you can. Do we want to fight the squids or EMP them?"

OOC: If an EMP is launched will my character get fried?

Jade says, "I say we land this bird and take them out with our EMPs."

1 kilometer to dead end.
Shadow begins trying to apply the brakes.

Screed jumps to the side and expertly avoids a flying tentacle headed his way.

Jade fires at the Sentinel by Screed and hits it but does not destroy it.

Dracos fires at the Sentinel by Screed and takes it down.

3 sentinels left
500 meters to dead end.

The ship is not stopping fast enough.  Shadow turns it, applying all the balancers that work to help slow down the ship...

Another Sentinel breaks through near Hammer and X.  Jade is nearby and she runs to stop it.

The sudden movement of the ship decelerating throws you around...

Jade falls for 1 point of damage.  Dracos maintains balance.  Codec maintains balance.  Screed lands against a computer for 1 point of damage.  Cala falls against some hot piping and suffers 2 points of damage.

Jade fires at the Sentinel and takes it down.

The last one is on the front of the ship and is about to break through to the cokpit where Codec, Locke, and Shadow are.
200 meters. 1 Sentinel left

You can see the dead end, the gnarled pipes and no turn offs.  It appears that the Hyperion will slam into it.

And the last Sentinel is just feet away from the cockpit controls, Shadow, and the slumped over Silicon.

100 meters.

Codec yells back at the others, Codec lifts up his EM Rifle and tries to make the best shot he can. "We got a hard line on the left of the dead end! Don't hit it!"

OOC: Codec performs an All Out Attack at +4 skill bonus.

Screed grabs onto something sturdy and holds on for dear life and deadpans, "This is going to really suck."  At the last instant, he closes his eyes.

Anyone else doing anything?

nope, I'm good.

16:49, Today: Screed rolled 11 using 3d6. contain bowels, skill 17.

Jade holds on for dear life.  "Make it a good landing, Shadow."

Dracos braces for impact...

Seeing the sentinel in front of the ship, Shadow points the ship at the squid, hoping to crush it upon impact.

"Guess I should have turned, huh?" Shadow grunts to Codec as he strains against the controls.
