"As long as the access code have not changed I can give the proper clearance codes and be away." Jessa replies. We may want another pilot to fly so i can work the communications and codes. You will also need to relax the communication lock down when we get there so I can communicate we are the Warden's pilots and he is leaving the ship. That should allow us to leave." Jessa states.

Slyer "Jessa, I can pilot, not great but I am rated on all space vessels. I can also run CPU's and plot jumps if need be." "I have flown shuttles before as my first tour as a ensign on a Neb-B along with boarding and patrol duty, Z-95 and Y-wings, most of my time has been on Correllian Corvettes and Gunships bridge." "If there is a Need for Sivu to help with Comms and CPU I can do it." "With our present crew and what we need to deliver I think a shuttle would increase our survivability, along with increase your access ease to use codes."

The path to the shuttle is an easy one with only droids who ignore you along the way. Slyer's group enters from the east side door as Unda, Lowggrr, and Eric enter from the north west entrance. Behind them you see Shadormen moving into the station.
On the comms you hear the Imperials in command and control call for the Warden again,"Sir, Something has dropped the collars on the prisoners. We have a full riot on our hands in the refinery section and are getting no reports from the prison and docking sections. We are launching TIEs now and mobilizing the station security. Sir, Please respond."
Jessa opens the shuttle with an access code and the ramp lowers. You begin the pile into the shuttle and Slyer and Jessa go forward to the pilot section. Unda, Gammer, and Eric move to find turret controls as Geena, the princesses, and Lowggrr begin to buckle up in the passanger section.
Sivu? Sigurd? Is anyone going to signal you have the girls?

Sigurd tells Slyer, Jessa and Sivu. "I am thankful for the escape and ride but does anyone know we are coming in a imperial shuttle?" "I have pledged my clan leader to protect the Shador princesses I would not like to seem them blown out of the sky."
"Sir Slyer if you could respond with some falsehoods on the warden communicator it may buy us some time."
Sigurd will check the arriving crew for wounds and treat them if possible. Strap in and be ready for flight. If there is a unmanned gun he will man it.

Slyer looks at the controls and makes sure all are on-board. The controls are a familiar set up and he is thankful for the training he has had. "Sivu, with comm we need to contact our top cover that we are in a shuttle and have two princess and two others in tow along with all of our team."
"Unda, Gammer how are we looking on weapons?"
"Jessa, I could put on a breath mask and try to fake a call back to give us some space and redirect where they are looking, or tell them we are evacuating and have the TIE's escort until we have guns with beads on them, or if you have a better idea I am open for something. Oh and yes I can fly this thing." (2G1Y, Best roll I have had I think 2 AA, 2 SS, 1 Tri, must of had the keys left in it) unless I need advantage will pass to Jessa or Sivu however needs for comms. If you need deception on warden call 3G, 3A and 1S)

The Shuttle is ready and inputting the access codes the bay door opens.
Jessa gets on the comms and gives the standard imperial procedures for disembarking. "The Warden will be taking the TIE Escort and shuttle to move to assist the other stations."
Slyer gets on he tries to imitate the slimy slick used speeder salesman voice,"Soldier quell the riot and lock down the station if you can. I have a team and is moving to assist the other stations."
"Yes, Sir." The soldier responds.
The bay is open and the cloudy caustic atmosphere is pouring in. This will be flying blind on instruments until you make orbit.
Gammer responds,"For a shuttle this baby is ready for combat."
Sivu finds a computer station in the cockpit.
The two sisters sit as far apart as possible in the back of the shuttle. Geena sits beside Emleer who does not want to take her baby back.
Maljor stands with Sigurd and begins to whisper to him,"Do you have anything in your medical kit that can send the child to the gods without causing it to much pain? It is not it's fault it is an abomination but it can not live."

Sigurd looks sternly at Maljor, "Princess, it is not my choice or yours, this is your sisters child." "The gods play tricks on us sometimes and the child is healthy." "She may grow up to be a great hero or not." "That is not our choice either princess, let the gods decide when we rejoin our people." "You know that is our way and to trifle in the gods affairs is to invite doom." "To make matters worse we are now on a vessel with two unmarried females and a child, we need to pray before we become the ending of a sad ballad princess."

The princess looks to him coldly then moves to a corner away from him and her sister. "If she does not die now she will when my father finds her." Maljor states it loud enough that all in the shuttle hear it.
Emleer looks to her sister and then to the child,"She is right she says." She reaches for the child in Geena arms.
Geena gives her to her mother."You can't mean to do this to your own child." On a side note Sigurd notices that Geena pupils are very wide and her voice seems much calmer and slower than it should.
Emleer holds her child in her arms and tears well in her eyes."We can't go back."

Sigurd looks at both princesses "Your father can make that call and as king it is his right, not mine." "You are his daughters and the king would have my head if I carried out such a act against a young princess." "For my people it is up to the husband and wife when a child comes into the world, if they deem the child misshapen then the child is killed in ceremony." "out of wedlock are handled in family approved ax wedding when both families agree" "When they do not agree then payment agreed or judged by our chiefs is paid" "out of wedlock with unknown husband the child can be raised by the clergy with the mother then working with the priests to place the child as an adult into service that helps the family be it clergy, clan or soldier." "A child by force, by married not to each other and other situations are judged by the rulers on a case by case." "Vengeance has been exacted on the beast, but the case must still be judged by your father and I will abide by what he declares."
"I will testify the child was through deceit, which should seal her fate."

Slyer sees how well deceit, lies and protocol worked against the empire, he will have to learn to adjust even more on the fly.
"Nice job Jessa."
"Sivu do you need help with comms? "We need to tell our top cover we are coming."
"Princesses I hear your misgiving, the Empire destroyed my entire world and we need to unite to defeat them." "With the Shador we can take another step in ensuring they are defeated." "War is a terrible ordeal, morality is often its first casualty." "You have both survived a terrible ordeal, have faith in your father to make the judgement." "You need each others strength again now, your enemy is the Imperials not each other."
"All prepare for flight, we are leaving."
(Occ of course if there is something from noble knowledge feel free to add. Is there anything from sensors? vigilance? perception? that will help?)

"I will not see her die. She has been mine. She is mine. Father can not know she exists. He can not know I still exist." Emleer turns to her sister and Sigurd."Swear to me on your ancestors that you tell him I am dead. Never mention the child. For I and my child will be dead if we return."
Maljor has never known her father. He was imprisoned before her first memories. She knows her sister. She knows a lifetime of growing up together. "I swear."
They both look to the other passangers,"You must do the same on whatever you hold most dear."
Geena speaks up first,"I swear on my oath as a doctor to protect life to protect your secret."
Unda swears,"On my homeworld and the graves of the fallen."
Gammer swears,"On my Rancor head and favorite Saabaac deck may my manhood shrivel to the size of Slyer's parts if I lie."
Jessa swears,"May I spend time in all nine correllian hells if I break this oath."
The Cockpit
The shuttle is climbing into the caustic soup that is the poisoned atmosphere of Kotil II. You detect a firefight at the edge of the atmosphere. 6 blips that in the mess sensors can not recognize as more than ships. The planet has rock formations you must dodge and pilot around making your going slower than you would like. You do not switch transponders this close to the station and its laser cannons. Your sensors find repeated burst of energy 20 klicks to the west indicating a battle is ongoing there also.

As the blasts register, Sivu begins to send an message along the New Republic's secured comm. "Pilots, this is Ensign Sivu of Team C. We have commandeered an Imperial shuttle and are leaving with the mission-" he thinks of the Princess's request "-the mission as successful as was possible under the circumstances. Do not fire on the shuttle leaving the third base, I repeat, do not fire on the shuttle leaving the third base. We will alter our transponders and regroup with the rest of the crew once we have left the range of enemy cannons. Please avoid approaching our position and compromising our deception. Ensign Sivu out."

Sigurd looks at the princesses, "I had to endure being captured, beaten and imprisoned by order of our battle chief so my skills could protect you in the prison." "I swore a blood oath to protect the princesses of Shador, that includes your child, that oath still stands."
Slyer hears the others, and has to grin at Gammer. "Princess Maljor my world has already been destroyed, have your father knight me and I will swear the only thing I have left, my life, deal?"

Princess Maljor looks to you,"So you save us for the title. If you keep your word a title you will have Sir Phillip Slyer AuthShador." The way she looks at you have change. Her eyes followed you as you walked and moved now she shuns looking at Slyer.

Jessa calls Slyer's attention back to the HUD,"We have a X-Wing just came out of the soup about 400m aft of us. It has target lock. It has target lock! Sivu chance our codes, get on the comms do something."
