"And I believe Xizor also explicitly stated that you were to be subtle and not draw attention to yourself," Boba continues, his tone accusatory.

"I've been subtle," Bane complains.

"Collapsing a city, killing your way through the underworld of Denon, wiping out a Vossier gang headquarters and assassinating the ruling council of Sriluur..." Boba lists pointedly, "Very subtle."

"Now, to be fair, Sora's uncle was behind the assassination of the Sriluur council-" Bane begins.

"Just turn the ship around," Boba cuts him off, "You can save your excuses for Xizor."

"I think not," comes Eeth's voice coldly from the doorway behind them.

Boba glances around, muttering a curse as Bane takes advantage of the distraction to dart for his rifle. Boba's stun blast is a moment late, missing Bane's head by centimetres before striking the ship's control board which hisses and crackles as electricity pulses through it and the ship lurches violently to the left.

It is Bane's turn to curse as he is sent soaring past his rifle to crash against the side of the cockpit before landing heavily on the floor.

OOC: Bane Malar rolled 15 using 1d20+8. Reflex.

Eeth swiftly catches hold of the doorway beside him to brace himself as Boba catches hold of the pilot's seat.

OOC: Eeth Koth rolled 31 using 1d20+11. Reflex.
Boba Fett rolled 30 using 1d20+11. Reflex.

Meanwhile, in the crew's quarters, Zirak has suddenly felt a rush of dark energy pulsing through him and gasps awake. He clambers up, only to be thrown violently against the wall behind him, but with a snarl he soldiers on, thumping his shoulder on the doorway of the crew's quarters as he leaps over Ak-Yev's unconscious form and heads in the direction of the skirmish in the cockpit.

OOC: Zirak Derasir rolled 21 using 1d20+9. Reflex.

Back in the cockpit, Eeth has leapt forward, sweeping his lightsaber around in two swift strokes as Boba narrowly ducks and tumbles out the way of each stroke.

OOC: Eeth Koth dealt 51 points of vitality damage to Boba Fett.

Darting around the Jedi, Boba unleashes a series of blasts as he backs down the corridor, all of which Eeth manages to send crashing into the walls about them.

OOC: Boba Fett dealt 52 points of vitality damage to Eeth Koth.

"Do try not to kill him if you can help it," Bane calls after the pair as he clambers after his rifle, "He's kind of a friend."

At which of the pair this statement is directed is unclear.

Boba glances sharply around as with a series of furious beeps R5 speeds up the corridor behind him, buzz saw slashing wildly. The bounty hunter curses as he avoids the spinning blade by millimetres.

OOC: R5-D3 dealt 2 points of vitality damage to Boba Fett.

Eeth continues to press the attack, slashing at the distracted bounty hunter, who still manages to avoid his blows with deft agility.

OOC: Eeth Koth dealt 24 points of vitality damage to Boba Fett.

Abandoning his efforts to chase his rifle, Bane manages to pull himself into the pilots' seat and grabs hold of the controls. He curses as the ship fails to respond, continuing its uncontrolled spiral toward the planet.

"Good job, Fett," he mutters, slamming a fist on the control board, "Really good job..."

Boba sends another series of blasts at Eeth as he attempts to pick his way around the R5, narrowly avoiding another well aimed slash.

OOC: Boba Fett dealt 29 points of vitality damage to Eeth Koth.
R5-D3 dealt 4 points of vitality damage to Boba Fett.

Eeth pushes past R5 as he hurries after Boba, almost cutting himself on the astromech's saw as he passes, distracting him enough that his strokes do not come close to striking the bounty hunter. He gives a grunt of pain as a blast from Boba strikes him in the shoulder.

OOC: Boba Fett dealt 20 points of vitality damage to Eeth Koth.
Boba Fett dealt 8 points of wound damage to Eeth Koth.
Eeth Koth rolled 35 using 1d20+16. Fortitude.

It is at that moment that Zirak appears at the corridor entrance, several meters behind Boba, igniting his lightsaber as he advances menacingly down the corridor. The effect is somewhat lessened by another lurch of the ship which sends him crashing heavily into the corridor wall with a grunt. Recovering himself, Zirak snarls and charges at Boba, swinging his lightsaber in a savage, two-handed cleave that only narrowly misses the bounty hunter's neck.

OOC: Zirak Derasir dealt 39 points of vitality damage to Boba Fett.

Busy avoiding Zirak, Boba is unable to dodge a slash from Eeth which cleaves his jetpack in two and cuts through his armor and deep into his shoulder. The jetpack combusts with an explosion that sends him and Zirak down the length of the corridor, while Eeth and R5 are hurled all the way to the cockpit. His armor almost completely obliterated and his back a mess of burned and bloodied flesh, Fett lies sprawled facedown on the corridor floor and does not rise.

OOC: Eeth Koth dealt 6 points of vitality damage to Boba Fett.
Eeth Koth dealt 23 points of wound damage to Boba Fett.

Pulling himself to his feet, Zirak stalks over and gives Boba's body a nudge with his boot.

"Please tell me you didn't kill him?" Bane calls down the corridor, "And I'm not just saying that because I want to do it myself... And what the blazes did you do to my droid?!"

Eeth has also pulled himself up, limping down the corridor to bend down beside Boba with a wince.

"Alive," he asserts briskly after a few moments, "Though barely. We need to find the source of the toxin and stop it," he adds practically to Zirak.

Zirak seems less interested in toxins or Boba's fate than he is by Bane's 'my droid' comment.

"Your 'friend' here had better not have damaged my droid," he growls as he rises to stalk down the corridor to the cockpit, "I assume whatever he did is reversible?"

Bane has clambered out of his seat and over to examine R5, who gives a rather staticy beep as occasional flickers of electricity pulse around it's body. Bane shakes his head, before climbing back into his chair.

"It will be," he says grimly, "But in the meantime our controls are fried and he's the only one who can fly the ship via the override in the control room."

OOC: Bane Malar rolled 17 using 1d20+5. Repair.
