ISD
Climbing in Vandal sees the 2 defense turrets of the ISD she is in are still firing on the Muvon overhead.
The Jarrels are searching the area and destroying security droids and autoblasters set up to defend the area. Being laser-proof is a definite advantage for the creatures.
Ned'Ix ship inside
Sivu threatens the Jarrels and Amura turns to him. "This is not my way. It has no honor." He hits the door to the cockpit open. Looking at the cockpit Sivu notes Ned'Ix had really advanced stealth, communications, and sensor systems.
The first free Jarrel rushes in and is met by Amura's blades. (Amura hits him twice the Jarrel is hurting) He counters with his claws and Amura takes a fearsome wound to his forehead from the Jarrel's claws. The Cathar's blood begins to flow down his face.
The second Jarrel is unable to enter the cockpit and instead pulls his comrade free from the Gloop.
The PD clones are in the engineering section. They are assessing damage and begining repairs to the systems that can be done.
Outside Ned'Ix ship
Aren is still standing outside the ship. All of the Jarrels followed Darth Vandal into the tunnel.
Boom has pulled Sasha out of the water and is administering medical aide.
Gammer has been pushed to shore by the tide and is laying on the beach with water crashing over him.
Muvon
Brophar pulls away as Stev leaps off. He twists and dodges the turret fire the Muvon is just grazed. PD13 fires back at the turrets. Alarms sound that the Muvon has too much altitude and it must turn back. Brophar dives down planning to come in low at the turrets using the cliffs of the island to block fire.
Gorak's Shuttle
Stev looks in and sees Gorak is hunched behind a shielded e-web the turret pointed into the passenger section. The cockpit alarm sounds and Gorak turns for just a brief moment to see the warning. The moment is all Stev needs. With force infused speed he drops into the passenger compartment and sprints forward to the Rodian. Gorak turns and finds the young commander just 1m from him with dual lightsaber blazing. Gorak wears a Imperial Space Trooper armor which gives him bionic supplements to his strength and heavier armor. He does not have any type of explosives or trap you can see. His armor has a breaching vibrochainsaw on one gauntlets and a repeating heavy blaster on the other.
OOC Stev has advantage. Gorak defense is 2 setbacks.
Dual Bladed Light Saber Dam 8 Crit 2 HP 4(all used) Breach 1, Linked 1, Sunder, Unwieldy 2, Vicious 1, Defensive 1, Deflection 1 Mods Extended Hilt and Lorrdian Gemstones Blades are green.

Vandal chuckled to herself with a devious grin, before the profound realization that the looting was about to begin. For every Pub in the Republic liked Life Day a lot, but Vandal, who was an Imperial remnant - did not. Vandal hated Life Day - the whole Life Day season. Please don't ask why; no one quite knows the reason. It could be, perhaps; that her bodyglove was too tight. Or it could be that her head wasn't screwed on just right. But we think, the most likely reason of all... may have been that her cyberheart was too sizes too small. But whatever the reason, her heart or her bodyglove, she stood there on Life Day's Eve hating the Pubs. Staring dead at the loot, with her sour vacant frown, at the warm lit treasures before going to town. "I'll take that." She smirked beneath her hood, heading to a chicken walker and hopping right in prepared to ruin the lives of anything in her past like the three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce she was. Definitely makes the fates smile on you. Extra Destiny Point for awesome Grinchness. |

Vandal tried to recall the general layout of these prefab installations and rather idly swiveled the twin heavy blaster cannons to bear with all of the precision her years of Imperial Stormtrooper Training being a paid thug under the rule of Thax the Hutt could bring her, keeping the canopy open. She used her own comms to send out a message. "Hurricane One... still awaiting a new callsign. We should tell the Captain--Someone remind me to tell the Captain. I'm marking my chicken walker on your displays so we don't have a friendly fire incident." She noted before doing so with a quick press of a button and then unleashing the starboard grenade launcher on the left turret, locking the cannons on the right.
1P, 3A, 2D; 1 Triumph, 2 Successes, 3 Advantage, 1 Threat
Spending the 2 Advantages, both of which will be used for aiming the cannon next round.
12 Damage, Breach 1, ignoring 10 points of soak
Conferring 1 boost to the next person in initiative.
Using my Triumph to disrupt its power regular, hopefully at the very least temporarily deactivating it. Failing that, Vandal will use the Triumph to try to notice the power supply.

Gorak's Shuttle
Stev feels his fury rising within him, pushing him to the peak of his ability. Finally, after ten years, he was going to take down the man-no, the filthy vermin-who destroyed his family. He gives no chance of surrender, no attempt to parlay. Instead, he cries out a ferocious war cry as he relives the moment when he saw his mother shot down in a hail of slaver blasterfire, when his infant brother was ripped from his hands by the villains, and of his preteen self, left bleeding on the ground to die by the slavers as they destroyed his home and stole away everyone he loved. Now, it was Stev's turn to inflict the pain.
Gripping the hilt much like he would a small electrostaff, Stev lashes out with two brutal strikes, both paying no heed to Gorak's armor, and both being stuck with far more force than a trained lightsaber strike would use. The first cuts deep into Gorak's left flank, causing Gorak to instinctively throw forward his right arm to defend against the other blow. This is a terrible mistake, since all his effort leads to is the saber cutting cleanly through his arm above the elbow as it passes through his right flank, the pain forcing Gorak to collapse to the ground unconscious.
Stev raises the saber to apply the finishing blow, but his hand is stayed for a moment. He wants to finish this. He wants his quest to finally be at an end, to finally avenge his family, but the thought of his enslaved mother crosses his mind. For a moment, his desire for vengeance blinded him to his true mission: finding and rescuing his family from the Sabiador Slavers. Stev is loath to admit it, but Gorak is the best-and likely only-chance of finding and freeing his family from torment. He can't give that up for his own selfish hate. Instead, he deactivates the saber and delivers a swift kick to Gorak's groin. He knows the armor probably absorbed the blow, but at least it'll help him start to calm down.
Mechanics: Lightsaber Check 5A1B vs 2D2S. Net result 3 successes 2 advantages. Activating linked 1, so that's 11 damage per hit, for 22 damage total, and it probably breaches all of his Soak. Assuming so, he suffers a Crit injury, which, with Vicious added, is a 103, which is Maimed, so in addition to being downed he's gotten his arm lopped off. This Rodian's having a bad day.

Inside Ned'Ix's Ship
Sivu shakes his head at Amura's charge, knowing he can't talk the warrior out of it. Instead, he preps his backup plan. He send a comm to the PDs saying "Pit Droids, your aid is needed in the main chamber. Amura has decided to face the entire Jarell crew alone, and your threat assessment should match mine: he has no chance of success. If you would, enter the primary chamber without the Jarells noticing you, and when Amura falls, your combined might should be enough to move him into the cockpit accessway. If you do it swiftly enough, I will then seal the doors behind all of you and end this nonsense. Understood?"

ISD
Brophar replies,"ID acknowledged. Can you do something about those turrets?" He sees on sensors her fire and the turrets shutting down. "Okay, I guess you can. We will be coming in."
Vandal sees the Jarrels returning to her position. They are speaking Jarrel and she can not understand what they are saying. She does see that they are destroying anymore security droids so they have probably cleared the area.
Inside Ned'Ix ship
Sivu hears the battle between Amura and the Jarrels then he hears four large quick pops. It sounds like primitive slugthrowers. He steps toward the door and sees Jarrels laying on the deck. Amura and the two PDs stand over them. The PDs are striking poses spinning revolvers in their manipulators.
Outside Ned'Ix ship
Boom moves from Sasha to Gammer. The old scouts eyes flutter,"This is why I don't take charge." Gammer mumbles,"Left jacket side 4th pocket down Corellian Brandy. I could use a swig right now."
Muvon
Is flying low toward the ISD monitoring the situations.
The Imperial Shuttle
Under Gorak's Space Trooper armor is his gear and in his gear is a bio monitor medical system. The system reads his stress and administers stim packs. Goraks eyes barely quiver as he presses his detonator. As the cockpit explodes all controls, the cockpit canopy and ships controls are all gone. The ship has a moment of zero-G Gorak floats up and smiles at Stev,"We will go to the gods together young one."
Stev's magboots stop him from slamming into the roof of the shuttle as it begins to plunge back toward the planet. Gorak's body slams into the roof and then is pulled out of the gaping hole in the shuttle cockpit.

The Shuttle
Acting on his instinctive need to capture Gorak more than any conscious thought, the moment the Rodian hits the roof, Stev holds his wrist up and fires the grapple at Gorak. The line wraps around the spacesuit's waist, and Stev releases his magboots as they both fly into the air, the two pressed together as they begin to fall. At this point, he realizes his instincts were right since the Spacetrooper Armor is equipped with a jetpack.
Whether Gorak is still conscious after the impact or not, Stev knows getting that jetpack going is the priority, but that will be difficult, considering that when Stev sliced off Gorak's arm, he also sliced off the suit's controls for the right jet. Things were just determined to go poorly for him today...
Mechanics: Ranged (Light) Check 1P3A vs 1D2S. Net result 2 successes 2 advantages. I'll save that boost for the upcoming piloting check, which should be-well, I'm going to stick with interesting as the word of choice, although practically-guaranteeing-imminent-doom is a fair descriptor. If all else fails, Stev will die as he lived: grappling on stuff.
----
Inside Ned'Ix's Ship
Sivu's mask shifts upward slightly, indicating the equivalent of a raised eyebrow. His voice carries a note of appreciation as he says "Unexpected, and quite impressive." but that tone then shifts back to his colder range as he continues "Still, we do not have the luxury of gloating. Droids, since the equipment from the Supply Depot is in the cargo lifts, the storage rooms are likely empty. Bind the Jarells and place them within, we will likely need to interrogate them later. Then, begin work on making this vessel spaceworthy. I will investigate the ship's full technological capabilities." With that, he swiftly turns and strides back to the cockpit, screening the datafiles for items of particular interest.

The Shuttle, 5C to control the jetpack in free fall. If you survive you will hit the water. You will need to drop your armor to swim (athletics 2C) and then pull Gorak out of his (athletics 3C).
Ned'Ix ship
Sivu and the PDs work to repair the repulsorlifts and reseal the hull.

((OOC: ...So, once he hits a reasonable height, will he be visible on my end? Going to attempt a Jetpack intercept if so.))

He has his com to home in on but he is a thousand clicks away. The Muvon, a speeder, or another ship could get there quickly. Someone does need to pick him up if he makes it.
The Muvon nots the explosion and see the dropping comm signal. Brophar flips the ship and punches it.

((Would it be possible to use the launch out of the canopy and attempt to attach myself to the Muvon with the grappler Stev gave me earlier?))

You could jetpack to the Muvon and jump in and it can go to Stev.

Vandal pops the canopy and jetpacks onto the Muvon, anchoring herself onto the loading ramp to allow herself inside. "Brophar, if you can bring me closer, I can guarantee you that I can probably intercept the Commander. Maybe." She noted on the comms, all in all livid about the state of affairs. She wanted to lie down about as badly as she wanted a bath.

Stev grabs at the controls, activating the jetpack and regaining some semblance of balance(ish). As he stabilizes and slows the tumble, the cacophony of sound prevents him from hearing Vandal's incoming aid, so he bounces his head off his shoulder to activate the comm and yells "I need pickup, now! That water still has enough surface tension to break every bone in my body!" He feels the jet's heat begin to crisp his fingers, but he's definitely not letting go any time soon. Unfortunately, as their descent slows [insert horrific despair result here].
Mechanics: Piloting (Planetary) Check 2P2A1B vs 5C. Net result 1 triumph (success uncancelled), 2 threats, 1 despair (failure cancelled). That'll be 2 strain plus whatever horrors may come with the despair. Well, at least the triumph means something good will happen in addition to the basic not-dying-a-horrific-death. Maybe it delays the fall enough for Vandal and the Muvon to get there? Still, whatever happens, he's definitely taking nap-possibly in bacta-once this is all over.
