S1E01 - One Way Out
Amaya takes the moment available to her and dives for the dead officer's blaster, quickly taking aim at the furious gamorrean!
VWEE!
The stun blast hits him dead on, sending convulsions through his arms and legs for a moment. Rather than falling unconscious, the brute gets control of himself again and turns to look down at the cyborg who just blasted him. He snorts a breath out through his nose and begins taking steps towards her...
Meanwhile, the blast gets the attention of the officers attempting to keep their attention on Vol, and suddenly the decision of how to handle this volatile situation gets ever harder on them.
[Alright, your GM is using the Force (GM fiat, a powerful ally it is) to spend Amaya's Advantages! 2 are being spent to give Iaarkahr a Boost to his next action, as the distracted gamorrean is going to be a much easier target (assuming Brilk'airn moves the speeder close enough for melee!). 2 are beign spent to give Vol a Boost to whatever he wants to do involving not being shot to death by a wall of cops. And that's all four Advantage!]
At the spaceport, Landing Pad 2 suddenly sees a rush of activity. A speeder truck roars to a stop in the cargo loading zone, and a tall, well-worn human practically jumps out with a scowl. Captain Jalmac of the Silver Thorn runs to open the back, allowing a series of repulsorlift drones to carry a brief series of crates toward the ship. That done, he visibly calms down, taking a breath and watching the small convoy slowly head for his ship. He walks over to the aft and looks around.
"Hey! Zandra! Or whoever. I need this ship in the void ten minutes ago! How fast can you cut the maintenance and let me outta here?"
Zindra's been having some alone time with the Thorn, checking over hyperdrives and sublight engines as part of routine maintenance, and in no rush as the ship hasn't fully refueled yet anyway. The captain's returned a few hours early, and none of this is usual spaceport procedure. The rest of the crew definitely hasn't returned, though.
[I decided to add in the Zindra side, both to give her something while everyone else gets scenery, and to add some insight for the players as to what's going on.
We're in the next round now, and I'm letting the PCs act before the NPCs do, unless anyone volunteers to act later.]
