Re: Act 5.5.6: Det Akari Spaceport
The shooting is entirely blind. Not a soul can be seen behind the gas cloud so aiming is a little redundant; the gangers can sure be heard, though, and what they're saying isn't happy.
Despite the screaming there is return fire, now, from both pits. Blaster fire sprays across the length of CC9's truck, narrowly missing the droid's head when it reaches the window. More blaster fire scorches the space around the spaceport doors, quite uselessly, before stopping abruptly with a scream.
Before long all noise of struggle in the pit ceases and, as the gas begins slowly to disperse, the space adventurers can see why.
The rifle pits are now charnel pits. Each one is filled with bodies, most of them dead and a couple - largely the ones shielded by their dead comrades - are unconscious. While the potential for failure with the plan was high it seems luck and skill both favoured the Talons (and associates) this day. The tripod seems scorched but not destroyed; considering the power packs at its base (which are now mostly obscured by corpses) the thing could have made a very, very big bang had it exploded.
The two gas squad M4s return, hovering around obediently. Behind the scene of death and terror, all but unnoticed, the spaceport blast doors start to rise and the force shield blinks off.
