((That was his name! Locain! Vic's hitting him.))
Vic twitched and raised his hand "I have a question for you." He snarled, focusing on his fingers and Locain's throat. "Die. Before you note that it was not an inquiry, allow me to remind you a beaten animal doesn't do requests from their former masters..." He said in an cold, even tone that made him sound even more fearsome. ((2F 4L, suffer 4 strain to make them usable to inflict damage. Using the strength upgrade leaving me with 3D... that's what, 3 damage no soak and a round of stun?))

Stev lands near the group of 5 Dark Siders and takes their number from 5 to 4 with two quick thrusts of his blade.
Lodor Takes down one Darksider the other gets his blade up and deflects the bolts back toward the Muvon. The bounce off the hull around the landing ramp Lodor is perched on.
Vic races toward the robed figure and seeing his face his mind flashes back to a lifetime before being trapped in that coffin floating in space. Sarne stood laughing as this one called Locain beat him, humiliated him, brought him down in a crackle of force lightning and pain. He remebers his words,"I told you Lord Sarne this one is not a worthy vessel. Put him in the Storm Giant program. It is all he has use for. Pitiful." Locain is the reason he was sent to the tomb instead of being a vessel for the coming of the dark lord.
Locain is stunned by the force of Vic's power.

Amura rolls and leaps from the Gthroc to the side of the central sphere. He dig in his claws and begins climbing to the opening on top. Quesya, Boom, and Gunther don't fair as well being tossed back into the cargo section. Gunther jumps over Boom curling around him as they are crushed under the cargo. Somehow Imperial carts and crates do their job well and none of the munitions explodes. The Gthroc hits and cracks sideways it's hulls central spine bent.
The prisoners are down the only original crew person still standing is Tevan.
The still damaged Blu rappels out of the Muvon followed by Aren. They land near the computer CPU.
The force users feel in their minds a powerful but whispy voice. "I feel you brought a friend." The crystals are oozing into the cracks and damaged hull of the Muvon.

OOC: Sorry to spoil the prior post, but the Gthroc people are going to be just fine, since the ship doesn't crash until the round ends, so Tevan has time to help. By the way, perfect move on stunning Locain! That's exactly what we needed to turn this fight around!
Tevan knew help was coming, but he didn't quite expect the full cavalry. The Force-sensitive he'd never seen before was doing a great job breaking Locain's concentration, so that opened up an opportunity to counteract what he was doing without reprisal. Tevan dashes to the southeast and extends one hand, catching the flailing Gthroc that had just been released from Locain's control and gently guiding it to a landing wherever he can fit it. With his other hand, he mentally grabs two nearby Dark Siders and flings them towards the farther group. While one of the goons manages to be cognizant enough to dodge the incoming sentient projectile, the other isn't so lucky and takes the brunt of its ally's weight.
Once the Gthroc lands, Tevan can finally unfocus enough to quickly explain "The entire ship's covered in crystals! Shape them with your will!"
Mechanics: Move Check 2FP. Result 4LP! Activating basic power, 2 strength upgrades, and a magnitude upgrade. Using that magnitude upgrade to throw 2 dark siders into the other 2.
Discipline Check 2P1A vs 2D. Net result 2 successes, 1 threat, so only one of the dark siders actually collides with another one for 12 damage to each of them. The other flies off...somewhere. Tevan takes 1 strain.
----
Sivu feels the ships rocketing downwards and is about to brace for impact when the drop suddenly slows. He'll take whatever break he can get and, realizing that he's probably going to have to mix it up with the combatants, pulls out another stimpack and applies it. He can feel it clear his head a bit, and less grogginess means less chance of disintegration, immolation, dismemberment, ritualized cannibalism, etc.
Mechanics: Sivu slaps on another stim, so now he's at 5 wounds before KO.

Tevan can stop it from hitting (take away my fun). Is he going to move it or let it land outside?

He'll just let them extend the landing gear and set it outside on the roof. I don't see anywhere inside that the Gthroc can actually fit.

"I am... Invictus. Former Shadow Guard." He said, lowering his hand to remove his helmet before getting right back to the iron grip of the Dark Side. "You used me for cultivation." ((OOC: Stasis again. 2F, 2D, 1L. I use one for the strength upgrade and one for triggering.)) He paced, clenching his grip. "You shocked me. You beat me. You belittled me. You tortured and twisted me into this." He growled, his irises going golden. "I look different, do I not? Without my hands tied back? Without your peers keeping their boots on my chest--because you were terrified of what I would do in a straight fight?" He asked in a calm, even tone, his boiling rage seething just beneath the surface. "At a loss for words? Can you feel your life slipping? Rest assured, I am a better man than you--so I shall give you a choice... You can surrender and die cleanly..." And then, Vic's composure broke, twitches of anger showing through. "Or I will squeeze the boiling viscera from you if you're so determined to die with the weight of a weapon in your hands and the weight of one in your throat. Struggle if you like that last one. Or do not. I care not, I will have my vengeance either way."

 QUinlan force leaps from the ramp of the Muvon and lands on the top of the large cylinder that is the CUTHBERT cpu. To Lodor he looks to be fighting the empty air. To Stev, Vic, and the other force users his light saber is cutting through the smokey twisting beast. His blade slices thrice through the creature. 4 Darkside users circle Stev and attack (2 take strain to get up and rush back at him). Stev kicks one across the face (2 strain to them) but a light saber slices across his back (13 damage, breach 1). The second group of Darksiders rush to their master's aid. The three left surround Vic with lightsabers flashing (1 must take 2 strain to get up). It becomes a stalemate between the three and Vic none gaining the advantage. The stunned Locain rushes backwards away from the circle of Vic and his minions. He moves east toward the access doors. Brophar tries to pull the Muvon away from the crystals that hold it the only thing he succeeds is rocking Lodor all over the ramp. (two setbacks to next action for anyone on the Muvon). Blu and Aren drop to firing positions and each fires into a group of Darksiders Blu's bolt removes the back of a darksiders head dropping the number to three around Stev. The strain of the landing and movement damages the wounded Clonetrooper. (2 strain) Aren's blast is deflected by the darksider and three still surround Vic. CUTHBERT draws a wall of crystal between Locian and the group. The smokey creature draws crystal around itself as it encircles Quinlan. "You walk the balance of light and dark that the prophet once did. You would be a perfect vessel if you where in prime condition. It is fortunate to the mission that you produced one who is in prime condition to be the vessel." The creature is now 10m of twisting crystal. next Initiative Quinlan Voss, Dark side user group A, Dark side use group B, Locain, Brophar (muvon), Cuthbert, Stev, Gammer (Gthroc), Prisoners, Lodor, Vic, Sivu, Tevan, Mikal, Jenna |

Invictus would have none of it. He spun on his heel bringing the force pike to bear on the nearest adept. ((Lightsaber, 2A vs 2D1S net 1 success))

Tevan feels his own powers beginning to wane, but he can't stop now. He draws some energy from the aggression he feels towards these monsters who were trying to kill his friends and family, and that proves to be enough to jump start his strength as he grabs his three previously injured foes and tosses them all at the remaining two threatening the stranger with the lightpike.
Mechanics: Move Check 2FR. Result 2LP 1DP. He'll burn a strain and take a conflict to have access to 3 points to activate the power, strength upgrade, and magnitude upgrade to toss 3 goons.
Discipline Check 2P1A vs 2D. Net result 1 triumph 3 advantages, so that'll be 11 damage to each of the three thrown, plus he'll activate two more hits with the triumph and 2 advantages, and he'll use the last advantage to pass a boost. So, in the end that's 11 damage to 5 targets, those being the three that he hit with Move last time (1 in Vic's group, 2 in Stev's group) and the other two in Vic's group.
----
The intense burning sensation that slices across Stev's back may be the worst he's ever felt, the intense shock almost bringing him to his knees right there, but he turns that pain into focus, and further strengthens his drive to get this fight over fast. He prepares to face off against the four again when a bolt drops one, and two other behind him suddenly fly away. He hears Lodor's voice from above shouting "Give me something to shoot!" so he uses the momentary confusion to charge at Vic's group of assailants. He releases his double handed grip on his lightsaber and pulls out SLAVE's arm with one hand, bringing both to bear against one of the dark siders, first using the arm to deactivate the lightsaber, then his own saber to press the advantage.
Mechanics: Lightsaber Check 5A1B vs 3D. Net result 1 success 5 advantages. Using 3 advantages to short out the lightsaber and 2 to activate linked with his own. That's 7 damage from a cortosis arm to the face and 9 damage breach 1 via lightsaber slash. Also, he burned 2 strain for the weapon drawing maneuver.
----
With one poor dark sider by itself, Lodor focuses on steadying his aim as much as possible on the rocking ship. He pulls the trigger to fire another burst of shots, and two find their mark, planting themselves square in his foe's chest hard. One more down.
Mechanics: He'll burn to 2 strain to double aim. Gunnery Check 4P1A2B vs 2D2S. Net result 1 triumph 4 successes. Activating auto fire for 1 extra hit with the triumph, so that's 2 hits for 20 damage pierce 2 each, or 40 damage pierce 4 against double soak.

As one darksider opens his mouth to reply to Vic's bavado he is silenced by Vic's force pike entering his mouth and exiting the back of his head. Vic braces to defend from further assault when three darksiders fly in colliding with the others around him. A circle of downed opponents surrounds him. Each looks to be breathing but out.
Tevan feels the force flowing from him but in it is the seductive pull to use him hate and aggression. He allows himself to draw on this hate and has difficulty putting it away and returning to his center. The feeling of power that comes with it brings a conflict between what he knows is right and what feels right. What does feel right is protecting his friends and crewmates. Seeing him up close Tevan notes that Vic is not much older than he is.
Stev creates a new lightsaber form with blade and mechanical arm club. The club shuts down the darksider's lightsaber on the way to striking his skull soundly. With the actions of Lodor and Tevan he soon stands alone.
Lodor stands on the ramp feeling good about his shot when the Muvon is thrusts sideways and up by the crystals that hold it. He is flipped off the ramp and falling unless he makes a 4d vigilance check to grab hold.
Those on the computer center have a 5m wall blocking the access hallway and a large crystal centipede fighting Quinlan on the computer CPU column. The column has moved back into place below the creature.
Amura has climbed to the top and is ready to dive onto the centipede with his Cathar Warstaff.
Outside the ship the Battledroids are coming back online and the Vulture droids that did not crash (about 10% of the original fleet) are beginning to maneuver. "Round two everyone look alive!" Ranna calls to the fighter squads.

With the heavy blaster strapped to his chest, Lodor can't manage to control his new center of mass, causing him to tumble off the Muvon's ramp. He lets out a scream as he thinks his time's finally come up when he suddenly feels a surface beneath his rear that slows his fall, and he lands feet first on a crystalline platform. He looks up and expects to be thanking Tevan, but to his surprise he sees that Stev's the one with his arm outstretched. "Wait, when did you get powers!?"
Stev would reply, but extending his focus to catch Lodor meant that he could no longer energize his own body. He visibly slumps down, and then drops to one knee. Beneath his helmeted visage his entire face is twisted in agony as the Force no longer dulls his pain, causing the searing wound in his back to almost overwhelm him. He can only manage to grunt out over his comm "Just...get...DOWN!"
Meanwhile, Tevan attempts to recenter himself, focusing on something he can do to protect the crew without causing harm to anyone else. When he notices the CPU is back online, he calmly stretches out his mind again, pulling the computer out of its socket once again. As he does his magic, he repeats in his mind There is no emotion, there is peace. However, the words ring a bit hollower than they normally do. After all, without the strength from his emotions, he wouldn't have been able to stop those Inquisitors. He'll have to consider that later though. Right now, he had to steel himself for the monster's next move.
Mechanics: 3A vs 4D. Net result 1 failure 2 advantages. He'll pass a boost to the next check to save him from impending doom.
Discipline Check 4A1BFR1 vs Simple? (I didn't see any difficulty listed). Gross result 2 successes, 4 advantages, 1LP, so he'll spend 3 advantages to control 6m total, with three forming a ramp and three forming a platform at the bottom of said ramp.
Move Check 2FR. Result 2LP 1DP, so activating power with magnitude upgrade to displace the CPU column again, this time pulling it closer to the group so it can't go back.

QuinLan is slashing at the Crystalped chopping the flowing crystal that just flows back into place. The creature tosses the Jedi and he pulls goes over the side of the platform.
The darksiders lay on the ground dead or dying.
Locian is nowhere to be seen.
The Muvon is released by the crystal that flows in around it as it arcs straight into the sky.
Blu and Aren see their fire on the crystalped seems to not effect it. They target the computers connection jack and slag the bottom of Cuthbert.
Cuthbert is pulled from his datapod and the CPU is hovering 10m east on the platform.
Stev saves Lodor and drops.
Gammer and Slyer land on the top of the dome as Amura leaps down onto the Crystalped. The Cathar's warstaff diggs into the flowing crystal and the vibrations seem to have an effect on it. The crystal around it solidifies then cracks. The Crystalped jerks as in pain and Amura must hand onto the buried staff to keep on the beast.
On the Gthroc Quesya, Gunthar, and Boom move out of the ship and find the clones and Scourne's group are closing on the ship.
Tevan pulled the cpu out.
VIC ?
Sivu ?

Sivu was perfectly content with sitting out a fight between powerful Force Users and waiting at the front of the Gthroc for it to end, but when he sees the vibrational component of Amura's warstaff cause the crack in the crystals, he immediately rushes to the communication station and comms Brophar. "Brophar, Amura's warstaff's vibrational frequency seems to be resonant with the vibrational frequency of the crystal. We will both need to attempt to find that resonant frequency and play it on our ships' communications as loudly as possible, enlarging the flaws in the structure and potentially shattering the structures entirely."
As he relays his instructions, Sivu already gets to work on using the advanced communication systems the Gthroc is specially equipped with that he found earlier in the hopes of getting a reading for the vibrational frequency output of Amura's warstaff.
Computer Check 1P3A vs ? (I'm not sure how well the sound travels or how good those fancy systems are). Gross result 5 successes 1 advantage.

Sivu notes itb matches the frequency of any common vibroweapon. A sonic stunner would be able to be programmed at the same frequency.
