Aren leaned back against a tree as she listened to both Gammer's idea and Sivu's response. She couldn't offer any valuable input on Unda, it was someone she honestly never had a chance to know well. But neither did she much like the idea of drawing fire from the AT-ST, even ignoring for a moment the individual who had suggested it and what she thought of him. So she focused on the parts she could offer some commentary about. "Sivu, was it? I like where you're going with this. But how would you suggest we draw its attention without being in its line of fire? The only solid cover against a walker that I saw down there is a ship we might want intact."

Sivu studies their situation for another moment, creating a bit of an awkward silence before he says "Individuals with enough brute strength could throw the PDs in their compacted form in a manner similar to a common disc. When the walker turns away, we could toss the droids onto the ship, and while they would likely be caught if they attempted to take over the ship, they may be able to access an auxiliary entrance commonly found on the dorsal sides of starships, allowing any of us either a secure escape route or, if we stay quiet enough, a chance to take over the ship and use its weapons to destroy the walker. Of course" he turns to face Ned'Ix "with a full understanding of the ship, its layout, and its systems, we could plan far better for infiltrating the ship and dealing with its interference. At this point, withholding information could be fatal to us all, so I would suggest you tell us all you know of your ship's potential access points, weapons, security measures, shields, cybersecurity, and other factors that could influence our planning."
Mechanics: Would a Warfare check also help with anticipating Jarell movements, traps Gorak could've set, or Unda's patrolling? If so, feel free to roll Sivu's 1P3A against whatever the difficulty is.

Ned'Ix looks to Sivu. He reaches into his ruck on his back a pulls a shows his datapad. "We have emergency drop hatches on the dorsal cargo holds. These can get us in if we can get past the diggers." He shows the security cams in the ship. "My repair droids are the only ones inside except for the Jarrels bringing in weapons. The ship shows the repulsor lift is down and the manuever thrusters are clogged with sand. It is not going anywhere without one or the other fixed. Who ever was piloting had no qualifications."

ISLAND
Sivu notes that Unda seems to be following a rough patrol pattern. If you wait a few minutes his AT ST will head back toward the ISD further into the island. (Triumph roll on warfare gives ayou a big hole in their defenses).

MUVON
Stev carries Brophar and finds Vandal on the way. She is in worse shape than either crewmen.
As PD13, the other PDs and Brophar's robot work on the ship over the next 2 hours Brophar wakes up. The PDs also collect crystals and bring them to the Muvon.
I would assume Sigurd moves Blu to the Muvon's medical bay. Vandal's arm is damaged and Sigurd lacks the cybernetic replacements for it on board. Slinging her arm is the best that can be done.
As Stev searches the ship for further damage he finds a wall panels has bent in the crew quarters. Inspecting it for further damage he finds a small compartment within.
Brophar enters as he looks at the 1 square meter hiding hole. "Had this ship for years. Thought I knew every inch of her and never seen this little nook."

Island
Gammer looks at the retreating AT-ST,"Okay new plan. Ned'Ix, PDs, Sivu sneak onboard. Aren and Amura cover them. Sasha and I cover you from here. If we see Unda coming back we call."
The cliff down is an easy controlled slide (athletics 1d easy) with a (stealth of 2d to not be noticed by the four jarrells at the nose of the vessel). The openings are marked on the map with extra secret entrances to the shuttle/ escape pods on the back of the vessel. The other four Jarrels are carrying boxes up the starboard cargo holds ramp.

OOC: Sorry for being gone so long. Tis the season to be busy, I guess. I think Vandal's up, since we'd probably do something other than put the arm in a sling if she were out. Also, somebody else is probably better qualified to actually do it, but if we want to remove your Crit Injuries, I just noticed that Stev's Medical Pack reduces the difficulty of those checks by one, so he's happy to lend his supplies.
Stev holds an arm up as Brophar approaches "Wait. Whomever was willing to hide something probably was willing to trap it too. Let me make sure it's safe, then we can inspect the contents." He sets his hunting goggles to image clarification and magnification, then moves to thermal imaging. If he doesn't pick up any sign of danger, he'll see what's in there.
Mechanics: Perception Check 2P1B vs ?. Gross result 4 successes to be opposed by whatever difficulty.

Sivu nods "Sufficient." Once Unda wanders away, Sivu quietly slides down the slope and swiftly steps toward the secret port access way. As he moves he looks around from the Jarells to Unda to Gorak's alleged location, then back in a strict 5-second sequence, altering his path as necessary.
Mechanics: Athletics 2A vs 1D. Net result 1 success. Wow, shockingly exact.
Stealth 3A vs 2D. Net result 1 success 2 advantages. I can pass that boost to whomever needs it.
OOC: Can we see where Gorak's at now? I'd hate to hop into the ship and be greeted by him smirking and holding a belt full of explosives or something like that. It hurts my expected lifespan quite a bit.

MUVON
Driods are wielding and fixing throughout the ship. Brophair, Vandal, and Stev are up together looking at the catch(or whatever you want to be doing). Sigurd has secured Blu in the medical bay. He will need time or a bacta tank. He is not as young as he once was. After 2 hours the ship is skyworthy if not space worthy. Brophar lifts off for the Island.
Stev looks over the area and finds no traps he finds a hologram, two lightsabers, and a ruddy copper helmet with the shaped mando visor and the markings of a Mandolore crusader on the sides.
ISLAND
Ned'Ix can see all of the security cams in the ship and does not see Gorak in the ship.
Sivu slides and slips down the cliff to the underside of the Gthroc without being noticed by the slaving Jarrells.
Amura takes the cliff easily and follows Sivu's motions to make it beside him. Amura drops two PDs to the ground and they pop up ready to enter the ship.
Ned'Ix follows the two and they group waits for Boom and Aren member to join them.

OOC: I forgot to mention earlier, if he was heading off the ship and back on, Stev would've picked up the gear he left outside too.
Stev picks up the gear and looks in shock for a moment. Sabers, a Crusader Helm, and a hologram, all found on an old Dynamic class ship...he's no historian, but he's familiar enough with the old Mando wars and their fallout to have a pretty good idea what it could mean. If he's right, this could be big. Very big. Once they're not busy rushing for their lives, they'll have to see what's on that holo.
He'll test the sabers to see if they still work, and if they do, he'll offer one to Vandal. "With the day you've been having, I have a feeling the kickback from most conventional weapons won't feel great. These things don't need more than one good arm to use, so it could work in a pinch if you want it." he then gestures to the helm and adds "If your helmet's in bad shape, this one at least puts a solid hunk of metal to protect you, if nothing else." He'll clip any unclaimed sabers to his belt and stow everything else that's unclaimed in his pack for the time being, then he'll see if he can get into contact with the rest of the team on a channel Gorak wouldn't be looking at. He doesn't want to lift off if the sensor reading could give away the rest of the team.

Vandal's eye snapped open with a shuddering breath that was far less shallow than what was going on while she was under, clenching her remaining hand around the hilt. The fact was that she had severed everything that would have made the arm useful, leaving her fingertips content to dangle uselessly. She easily examined the hilt of the weapon, staring blankly at it while contemplating her intent, although one look at her good eye suggested the experience left her rather traumatized. Her silence spoke enough that when she finally sat up, she remembered the crack about looking good in red when she was nearly transferred into the Royal Guard, and the backhanded compliment caused a slight sneer. "You're a good man, Commander. It's a liability. I'd have let me die in those tunnels, or in that access hallway. Potentially compromised. Injured. Weak. Sensibilities such as mercy have no place in situations like these--not if we're not willing to lose one, because if we aren't, we will lose them all." She sighed, apparently that was her way of saying 'thanks.'
Though she was likely lying through her teeth. She was certainly indiscriminate, but abandoning people didn't seem her style. "But know that no matter what happens, you have my respect."

Vandal looks to the helmet and she does know her history. Looking at the the Old Mandalorian helmet in Stev's hands she sees it matches the descriptions of the mask of Mandalore the Ultimate. The mask has been lost since the time of the Old Republic. Of course, This can't really be the ancient symbol of mandalorian leadership left in the smuggler's catch on a junker ship. OOC: There is no way to be sure Gorak could not find your transmission.  |

Stev smiles and nods "And, regardless of our divergent opinions, you have mine." His hand unthinkingly moves forward for a moment, as if to reach for a handshake, but he luckily catches his mistake before his reflexive action becomes too obvious, and instead places it on top of the helmet. "I think I'll try to use this and a saber to scare the Jarells back into line, and maybe even panic Unda into a surrender. Even the possibility of a Mando Jedi would probably be enough to scare many hardened soldiers, so seeing an alleged one could be enough to make even Unda have second thoughts about combat. However, we don't know exactly what the situation is, so that's only a possibility."
His thoughtful look turns into a concerned one as he sees the damage Vandal's already sustained, and he adds "Of the long days we've all been having, I'm pretty sure yours probably feels like the longest, so I hate to keep pushing you, but the bottom line is that if we get these turrets back online, you're the only one qualified to use them. If you'll head to Doc Sigurd in the Med Bay for treatment, I can send over the astromech to see what it can do to make your cybernetics at least acceptably functional. With any luck, you'll be back to fighting form by liftoff."
As he begins to head out of the room, he pauses and says "Just for the record, I do understand your point. I just hope I don't ever have to prove that." With that, Stev briskly marches to T3, directs the droid to the med center, and then joins Brophar at the cockpit. "We can't send a comm without exposing the others, so we'll have to depend on the transmitter. Let's just hope Gorak hasn't found it yet."

Vandal quirks a brow at the motion. "Thank you Commander, but if that change of motion was an indication I'd like to say you can certainly do better than someone whose three kilos of skin is about one kilo worth of scar tissue. Sir." She looked him over and produced a small hand mirror, taking a look at her bloodshot eye. "Sir, I'll need you on the big gun. You want to terrify him? Convince him he's face to face with an Imperial Inquisitor. I've served under enough of them to understand the Inquisitorius' damned politicking, and I'm in enough pain that I can probably pull off the tormented existence once we hack off what's left of this without anesthesia." She tore off part of her sleeve to expose the burnt husk of what very well may have been her arm in the early stages of necrosis and used that to clean the blood from her face so at the very least her subtle emoting wouldn't be lost. Her eye turned to the helmet. "We stash that because Sato will probably want that. You tell her that returning it was your idea so she'll stop adding to the tally of perceived debts, we repair the modulator and anunciator on my helmet and I can take the lightsaber." She nodded after a bit of thought. "Trust me, I'm taller than you are, heavier than you are, and a hell of a lot more intimidating looking." She pulled out her durasteel stockpile from various armored compartments.
"I will become the Lady Inquisitor, bane of the Galaxy and also the food stockpiles. Speaking of, we need to get this surgery done quickly so I can eat. I took over two shifts on ShipSec and relief didn't show up on account of the debacle that happened prior to this mission. They can't cover me and I haven't eaten, this should be remedied. Nobody should die on an empty stomach." She looked down to her arm and subtly cringed. "...And I just lost my appetite. Let's get this done."
