Gathered with the Verpine prisoners the Rebels began their attempt to recapture the Alabak's Gold and stealing the B-wings back from the Imperials. Tera was able to offer some aid to Klyn before she rushed off with Quantros to set up their distraction.

Klyn and Lyla stayed with the prisoners and watched the hangar. Chu-Shkar went to the main generator to set the bombs laid by Klyn. Which left Rynn in the computer room to control the doors at Tera's signal.

OOC I rolled for Tera's medpac on Klyn.

Everyone can act and let me know what they are doing. Once Tera and Quantros begin their attack we will move into combat rounds.

Here at the hangar bay the Imperial occupation of the Verpine base was at its busiest. The cavern was immense and heavily guarded. Audaciously Tera and Quantros entered the hangar. From their new view on the hangar floor they saw that the Alabak's Gold was unattended, it's loading bay open and suspended one metre above on the ground on its landing gear.

Imperial techs led by Salin Glek were loading cargo onto the Imperial shuttle. A large pile of equipment was stacked near to the loading ramp.

Another large pile of equipment was stacked near the maintenance lift in the middle of the hangar. The lift which was used to move small ships and equipment up to the level of the catwalk and control tower was at the lower level.

Stood in clear sight it took only a moment for one of the stormtrooper's to point and shout "look, Rebels!"

OOC Tera and Quantros can act now. Everyone is free to intervene or join in at any time.

Waiting at the other entrance, Lyla checked her blaster rifle for the umpteenth time, ensuring the DC-17m ICWS was in sniper mode. Or should it be in auto-fire? No, sniper, she'd need to pick off specific targets effectively. Or would auto-fire be better, for firing into a crowd of hapless Stormtroopers? At this range? They were a little too scattered, anyway. She still couldn't decide or be confident about any aspect of this bloody dangerous plan. But it was the only one they had, the only chance they had.

'When Tera and Quantros leave, when enough of those Stormies follow them, then we go.' she reminded Klyn and the rest of the team over comlinks. She turned to the Verpine 'You come out when we give the word.'


OOC: Switched to sniper mode, waiting.

Klyn looked anxiously at the troopers and the imperial shuttle.

The success of their operation depended greatly on the number of imperials who would fall for their trap.  They needed to prevent Salin Glek and his men from locking themselves inside the shuttle.

"Lyla, if you can take Salin out, do it: it might cause the tech to scatter and prevent them from taking refuge inside the shuttle...

Or it might cause the opposite... but with danger near the shuttle, there was less chance of them getting inside than if we charged at them, don't you think?"

He turned to the Verpines
"If the situation allows it, you will have to pilot the imperial shuttle. I will take care of the Gold.  And the others will get the prototypes inside, if we are lucky..."

He checked his weapon, wishing on more time that he had done some training to use weapons with a better range.

'Oh, I'm taking Salin out no matter what the tactical advantage.' Lyla answered, filled with bloody-minded determination. 'That bastard betrayed us to the Empire, and will keep leaking intel on the Alliance. He has to die.' And she used to be such a kind and merciful girl too.

Tera breathed in deeply, trying to feel the Force around her. "Rynn...we might need you to be really quick on the doors.". Closing her eyes, she felt for Quantros using the Force. "Now" was the only word she used.

She walked around the corner nonchalantly into the hangar bay and in a commanding voice shouted to the stormtroopers. "You have one chance to surrender. Place your weapons on the ground and I will be lenient. Take up arms...and you will die at the hands of the knights of the rebellion. she said, her lightsaber in hand.

18:46, Today: Tera Inkari rolled 31 using 1d20+11.  intrigue.

The stormtroopers were already focused on Tera when she walked into the hangar and ignited her lightsaber. Tera heard the whoosh and hum of Quantros's lightsaber beside her.

Her demand was enough to cause the stormtroopers to falter, but they did not drop their weapons yet. The rebels saw a few of the troopers instinctively look up to the control tower where the Imperial officers were safely behind transparisteel which was impervious to blaster fire.

The traitor Salin looked less concerned with Imperial protocols and more with saving his own skin, immediately moving to make a run for it into the Imperial shuttle.

OOC Actions?

Tera looked at the stormtroopers "Every second you delay is a second closer till the bombs detonate. I urge you to choose wisely. Be gone...or be dead."

Klyn cursed mentally at Tera's intervention.  She was supposed to attract them, so firing a few times and showing her weapon would have been enough to lure them.

Now Salin was running for the shuttle and if Lyla fired, all their plan would crumble...

And she told them about the bomb! Now they will start looking and the chance of them detonating before they succeeded are getting dangerously low.

"This is not good" he said to Lyla

Lyla hissed a curse as Tera went off-script. She'd considered shooting Salin as he fled, but knew it would give their position away and ruin the plan. 'No. Damn it! That wasn't in the plan. Nothing for it now. We have to trust she knows what she's doing.' she hoped. Lyla scanned the cargo bay again, wondering how she could turn this to their advantage...


OOC: If Tera has everyone's attention, would it be possible to sneak unseen into the hangar and get to a hiding spot?

At a full sprint Salin dove into the Imperial shuttle, the technicians turned tail and began to climb up the nearby ladder to get away from the rebels.

The stormtroopers behind the shuttle moved into positions behind the crates stacked up on the maintenance lift. The stormtroopers nearer Tera received their orders and with Imperial efficiency opened fire on Quantros and Tera. One stormtrooper with a red shoulder guard pointed toward the Jedi before they then took cover behind the nose of the Imperial shuttle. The eight remaining stormtroopers opened fire, they worked in pairs. The stormtroopers were accurate but Tera was ready and evaded their attacks. Quantros wasn't fast enough and got hit twice, hurting the ancient human but he kept on his feet.

OOC Quantros is hit twice for 17 damage.

Sneaking is possible.

Tera turned with some alarm on her face "They didn't fall for it. Let's run." she said rather loudly as she headed for cover.

'Well, it was nice knowing you.' Lyla remarked as she watched the Imperials make their expected response. Waiting for the moment of maximum distraction, she dashed out from the tunnel and tried to make for the cover of the Alabak's Gold. Only it was much too exposed much too far getting there...


OOC: Dice roller does indeed hate me.
14:37, Today: Lyla Rahn rolled 13 using 1d20+11.  stealth.
