From his position by the fireworks Boom begins to move toward the back of the stage. The Troopers stationed outside note nothing out of the ordinary. Boom notes nothing out of the ordinary. From the back of the stage he just sees the KNL and INN camdroids hovering over the stage. He then notes the INN camdroids outnumber the KNL by 4 to 1.
Stev tries to look around the mass of people all looking for his attention. Then a girl kisses him dead on the lips as her friends take pictures.
Sasha notices a man sliding through the crowd. He is not looking at Stev. He is not looking at the stage. She notices his face in thin but his body appears bulkier. Sasha moves stealthy through the crowd toward the man.
Thanis sees her actions and begins to move to the same area.
As the Captain see the applause is dying down he starts to speak. "People of ..."
The camdroids over his head each project a blue holographic image. The other camdroids controlled by INN and not KNL show the same image.
The Captain of the Bad Omen stands calmly at ease in what looks like a medical lab. Behind him a human stands in what looks like an empty Bacta Tank. The tank next to him holds a Twi'Lek girl, then a rodian, wookie, and mon calamari. He addresses the crowd. 'Citizens of the empire you have murdered the rightful governor in cold blood. You have destroyed imperial property, disrupted imperial business, and aided the escape of Imperial prisoners. You have been given appropriate corrective measures and have not responded. In my judgement you are not worthy of continued existence as citizens of the empire. I am arriving and in 10 minutes will execute my judgement upon you." The Captain nods at someone off screen and a mist pours into the bacta tanks. The people within of every race begins to screams as there skin becomes splotchy, then flakey, and finally begins to decompose and flake off.
'The zaribol virus with purge the capital of you and leave the capital for new citizens of the Empire. You have 10 minutes to make peace with your gods.'

The crowd reacts as you would expect, they panic rushing away from the stage area in masses tripping over each other. Stev, Sasha, and Thanis fight toward the man who is still moving toward the stage. Sasha reaches him well before the others.
Her rifle at the ready she points at the man. "Move anything and you die."
He turns to her, "You don't understand we are already dead." He rushes at her.
-----
Inside the shield the Karadol speaker turns to his men,"Kill the Captain then the High King." He begins to move toward another group of Karadol citizens when Gammer steps before him.
The 5 Karadol military jump up and flip onto the stage each landing in a martial arts pose and then rushing toward the captain.
The Captain steps forward he is unarmed for the media optics of it as are Thane and Kaiya who are rushing to the stage.
Your eweb gunners try to track the assassins but can not take the shot without collateral damage.
The Shador men are moving before the High King to protect him. Gorak notices another group of men in the shield are pulling decorations off their jackets and sliding together into knives and blades. He counts a dozen of them. -----
Makio, Biv, Sivu, Boom, and Tann begin to move forward. Tann coms the others. "Make for the SRV behind the stage so we can evac the captain and VIPs."
----
Backstage Alta, Gunthar, Amura, Allistar and Analia watched the camdroids on the backstage monitors and now see the assassins rushing at the Captain. Analia tosses a rifle to Alta, Gunthar has his club, Allistar takes a pistol.

Stev sees the man rush Sasha, and knows he can't get there in time. He thinks to himself "May the Force guide me" pulls out a splat grenade, and throws it over the crowd at the man.
Mechanics: Athletics Check 2P1A vs 4D1S. Net Result 1 success, 2 advantages. Using advantages to activate Ensnare 3.
His grenade strikes true, splatting the man's back and spreading over his legs and chest.
Stev yells "Run! That grenade can only take some of the force from whatever bomb he's packing!" And then he'll hurry to pull away any civilians incapable of escaping on their own.

Before he heads out to leave, Sivu will take a moment to intercept and download the Bad Omen's transmission. He wants to study how they used the biocatalyst in such a lethal manner. Then he'll follow the others to the SRV.

Sivu notes it is not the biocatalyst it is the virus they released in the bacta tank. The biocatalyst makes the virus work faster. As far as you know the virus itself has not been released and if people had the virus it would show symptoms within seconds. The Bad Omen must have some way they are going to deliver the virus citywide.

As Stev's grenade strikes his back Sasha fires at his head a clean shot through his forehead. She grabs a child next to her and turns to run when the bombers heart stops and his vest of explosives goes off. A 30m ball of fire explodes with shrapnel and bodies spraying in all directions. It billows around the stage's shield generator.
Stev is pulling along citizens when the explosion happens he pulls the same girl that tried to kiss him through a breathmask in front of him and hunkers down. The outer edge of the shrapnel field bounces off his armor He continues to scan for attackers as he pushes people away from the bomb site.
Thanis is on the edge of the blast blown off his feet he lands inside at the shields outer edge. He is quickly on his feet and moving toward the blast.
Sasha pulls the child before her and covers her as the bombs full force washes over her. It is heat, fire, burns, stabbing pain and then nothing. The blast pushes her and the child away but she does not let go of the child.

Gunthar Has no idea what to do, but when he hears the explosion he decides go back on stage and see where the baddies are. usually booms mean Boom, or baddies. Baddies mean smash, smashing is something gunthar is good at doing

WHen Gorak hears the explosion, he see on the monitors where it is, and Immediately wants to kill who ever let someone near with explosives. Defiantly going to review the video feed and find out how that person gets in. Otherwise Gorak might not be working in security anymore
"Baraduk, start jamming all transmissions, including those sith kriffing cambots."

Stev rushes to Sasha at the center of the blast. He pulls out burn and shrapnel care gear from his medical backpack, and he starts trying to treat Sasha.
"Come on Sasha, I know I'm not the best doctor, but I know if you keep fighting even my skills will be enough. Just stay with me, okay? Just stay with me."
As he's working, Stev comms the medical staff. "We have a number of bomb victims, including one of our own. I'm working on stabilizing Sasha now, but I can't do much, so get gear ready for dealing with shrapnel wounds and severe burns."
Mechanics: 1P1A vs 2D. Net Result 1 triumph 1 threat. Stev will take 1 strain.
Stev can feel the remaining heat still roasting his skin, but he works anyway. After he stabilizes Sasha, he picks her up and moves her to the Muvon.

The broadcast from the Bad Omen is relayed to the orbiting ships. Noell immediately lights up the combat comm channel and broadcast to the Farstar and the remaining pilots, "Looks like we got company on the way. Farstar, see if you can calculate likely reversion points for the Bad Omen and get long-range sensors up to see if you can detect any hyperspace anomalies that indicate where that kriffing Imp ship is reverting. Alpha and Omega squads scramble and lets prepare to hit the Bad Omen fast and hard before they can get any eyeballs launched. Guardian, it looks like we may need you up here. I want you to stay with the Farstar and make sure no Imps can get in close. Outrigger, you protect any of our ground evacuation with the Aegis. Slyer, can you relay to the Kathol Defense that they may want to scramble their Tie squads and fly protection for the ground teams."

Boom frantically looks around. Thing are exploding and he has nothing to do with it. He pulls out his blaster, and readies a stun grenade. A frag would be more fun, but he know Gorak would be really mad if he hits the wrong people with it. He looks for a target.

Sivu comms the medical team. "The Bad Omen's captain made a crucial error by revealing the name of his virus. Does anyone have knowledge of the zaribol virus, or if not can you access databanks that do? We need to know what we could use to neutralize this threat. Judging by its misty form, it is airborne, so is there any way to burn up or cool down the mist to make it ineffective? Could it possibly be flammable?" Sivu will then follow orders and head to the SRV to fulfill any position Tann and the others have not yet taken in the vehicle.

Looking on his datapad Sivu sees that the virus without the catalyst works slowly and can be counteracted. It starts on the skin and is a flesh eating virus that will also enter the bloodsystem and destroy higher brain functions eating it's way through the brain. The patients skin decays and they become almost feral in there actions normally. With the catalyst what would take days will take minutes. Sulfur and a Sulfide compounds have shown an ability to kill the virus.

Boom is behind the stage and sees his friends are moving to the SRV also behind the stage. He sees people running away but no one in back to attack. He is standing by a 3m by 9m pallet of fireworks holding the remote. It can go about 200m away and still give the signal.
