Zeic collects himself and find the closest cover.  He then takes a shot at the closest trooper.

Forim draws his blaster and opens up on a cluster of troopers.  He hits two square in the chest and they dont look good anymore.  His blood pumping with the success of his maneuver he feels invgorated, crouching low to use the speeder as cover...

Active qualities like 'Blast' require 2 advantages to trigger. Pag 168 AoR textbook. It's NBD this time because the enemy don't have much defensive bonus, so we'll just use your Advantages to trigger the grenade's Blast instead.

Between the blaster fire and the grenade going off at close range, the Army soldiers are all dead.

The shuttle's intercom opens up. "What's going on? Who was on that landspeeder? Oh, sithspit! Hold on, the prisoners are charging again!"

You hear the shuttle's guns opening up.

Anders to out of the craft once all the guards are down. He indicates they need to get this over with in the shortest possible time frame. He finds some protection within the hanger bay moving forward to cover any entry doors if he can.


-

Anders completes a scout of the Sentinel landing craft. This room is a drop-room for soldiers. It has benches with straps allowing for a dozen armed men to sit secure during a rough descent. The adjacent room is very similar; the Sentinel can carry a relatively large number of soldiers. There is no-one in that room. Beyond that, it would appear that there are two exits. One leads to the cockpit, while the other leads to the vehicle hanger.

Taking a comms device off one of the down soldiers Anders stands to the left of the door giving access to the cockpit and waits for the others in his team. While standing there with his blaster at the ready he tries to listen in on the radio traffic from the pilot and the rest of the crew.


-

Zeic has his weapon out also and tries to provide an additional lookout.

Down the short hallway, Anders approaches the shuttles' cockpit. It is closed, and possibly locked. There is nothing much on the comm at the moment. The cockpit crew must be occupied.

Opening the door would require a 2D skulduggery. There is also an intercom if you want to try to talk your way in: 2D of an interaction skill of your choice.

His back against the wall Anders flicked the intercom and asked for entry to the cockpit. He fluffs it when it comes to announcing who he was and what they wanted.


Anders Flown rolled 1 failure using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 2a 2d 1b.  Deception.


-

Zeic moves up to provide cover if they come out firing.

Distantly, through the door, you can hear someone shouting. Someone shouts back. It sounds like two male human voices, distressed.

You hear the characteristic sounds of a ship starting up. The reactor begins whining and the chassis begins to rumble. Normally the engine is muted, even in atmosphere, but with the gangplank still down it is quite loud.

Forim hefts his blaster, and gestures for Zeic to pop the door to the cockpit.  Forim will take the shots and anders can get the rest.

Forim whispers "No grenades" remembering the walker interior...

In reply to Forim Luk (msg # 174):

Anders gives a nod to Forim and readies his blasters relying on them to get the job done.


-

Zeic kneels down and opens the door so he can stay out of the line of fire.

sorry, been sick and not feeling good over the past few days.  Getting a little better now though.

Zeic hotwires the cockpit door and it slides open. Inside are a pair of human males, wearing Imperial Army uniforms, sitting at the controls. They look surprised. One fumbles for his gun, but Anders and Forim have their weapons drawn already. They freeze.

The ship is just about ready to take off. The rioting prisoners have picked this moment to charge across the landing field towards the open gangplank. You watch them running and shouting through the viewscreen.

"All right hands up where I can see them and if you move I will kill you." To the other he adds "What now, do we continue take off ?"


-

Earlier, you intercepted a message over the long-range comms. It suggested that the prison's commander was only too willing to blow this craft out of the sky using the planetary turbolaser if they tried to escape earlier.

However, given your knowledge of planetary defences, you doubt his ability to do this while the shuttle is in the atmosphere. Such weapons are designed to attack targets in orbit, or approaching the planet. Even a craft approaching the cannon at a low angle could not be targeted, although some installations have defensive guns to prevent starfighters from attacking the cannons with impunity.

Anders moved the crew away from the consoles to give those with the skills access. He takes the two binders from his belt and places the crew face down once they are searched and secure.

As he is doing that he asks "Are there any weapons that can take out the rest of the base, the big gun and the radar ?"


-

Forim slides behind the controls and starts flipping switches confirming the engines are on and there are no systems locked out, specifically weapons and hyperdrive.  No nasty surprises later.

Moments after taking the bridge and the controls, the rioting prisoners rush aboard. Having seen the valiant, reckless charge of the enemy speeder, they are expecting to find some allies on board. They are not expecting you, however. Four males of mixed species meet Anders and Zeic in the corridor. You're not wearing Imperial uniforms or look like any of their wardens, so they do not attack you. They brandish vibroblades, stolen blaster pistols, and improvised slugthrowers. Their expressions are furious, but become confused.

A male devaronian pushes through the crowd and faces you. He puts his hands on his hips and looks you over. "I'm Asak Drut. Who are you? And what are you going to do with the shuttle?"

"I am Zeic and I suspect that we are trying to do the same thing you are...escape this planet. We have control of the bridge so I imagine we will be out of here very shortly."

Anders watches the ex-prisoners "We armed your two compatriots who started the riot when we met them in the swamp."


-

The prison gang leader doesn't seem to know what you are talking about, but is inclined not to cause you any problems.

"There's enough space on this shuttle for all the prisoners, but we're losing more all the time. If you strafe the wardens' positions on the north side of the compound, we can save a lot more. That's where our leader is fighting, too. You'll need her to get out of the atmosphere."

"Lets fire on the big gun as well... I am not sure it will destroy it, but you never know."

Anders has no experience with the big guns on the ship, but if everyone else is busy he will try and fire the weapons.


OOC: Not sure if anyone else has gunnery, Anders does not.

ooc:  I don't have it as a skill but I do have agility 4 so I could do ok if no one else has it.
