The Aegis could barely fit in the HQ area or could land north (Mando come from north)/south (wolves come from south and ULAVs are south)/east (big battle you are blowing up)/west (clear) of the HQ. PD13 continues to slam the battle with cannon fire and the demons are dropping quickly. With a few gunners in the Aegis with him he knows his efficiency would increase 3 fold. He monitors the jungle and sees that missiles are not particularly effective in heavy jungle. The canopy is a flame but in this humid region it should not spread to much. He notes that the starwolf and a half dozen of mandalorian clone troopers are still moving forward. The starwolf will arrive in 2 minutes to the HQ battle, the Troopers in 4 minutes.
The rest of the crew glance up after the first round of blaster cannon bolts crater the battle to the east and see the Aegis growing larger in the sky as he approaches.

When Stev sees Theta go down, he ignores the wolves threatening him and the pain flaring in his side and charges the group on Theta. As he disperses the group with his blade, he stands over Theta and yells, with a frenzied look in his eyes "None of you can lay a filthy fang on him, or I will slice you into so many pieces it'll shatter whatever Darkstryder abomination is animating you!"
Mechanics: Melee Check 2P3A vs 2D. Net result 6 successes for 14 total damage. The action puts him at 4 strain.
----
Sivu sees the Aegis and states "Impressive." He then notes the screaming Jessa and the wild Stev, and decides he does not want to deal with either of those problems. Instead, he runs to Analia's EV and throws a haymaker into a wolf's chest. While the attack worked, Sivu feels a sting on his fist from the force of the blow, an unfortunate side effect when one is essentially punching the ground.
Mechanics: Brawl Check 1P1A vs 2D. Net result 2 successes, 1 threat for 5 damage. Sivu takes one more strain for a total of 2.

5 PC Sivu rushes down leaping onto the EV and striking the wolf. Amura rushes over to the Analias EV he strikes both wolves with his staff killing the one and finishing the other. Gammer grabs Jessa tossing her over his shoulder and running back toward the fort. Stev bashes 2 more wolves pulling on Theta crushing them. Theta swings his entrenching tool one handed and clips another wolf closing in. Wolves 3 wolves follow Stev and attack. They bite and scratch his armor but do not damage him. 1 wolf attacks Theta and the trooper smashes it again with his entrenching tool. The creature shatters. 1 wolves on the back of Amura's EV turns to attack Sasha who is one her back on the ground. It lands on her biting at her armor. (2 wounds) 2 PC Sasha lifts her club and smashes the wolf twice the second blow causes him to crumble. Analia sees the Aegis coming in for a landing and leaves the EV racing for the landing site. The Aegis pounds the mass of mando and Wolf dirtdemons again leaving a scattering of figures still battling. The jungle is smoking and small fires are dying down. PD13 sets the ship down outside the fort putting the ship and it's guns between the crew and the battle. Jessa is screaming and Gammer sticks an old fashioned needle in her rump and she slows and quiets slumping onto his shoulder. Boom  ----- Dr. Brunuo screams and launches himself at Sigurd. The cloth the package is wrapped in falls to the side and Sigurd can see the triangle is covered in hierogyphs that are glowing in the near darkness. He misses the Shadorman and trips in the darkness hitting his side and ribs off the nearby medical bunk. Next round, Attachments:

Sivu follows Analia in the direction of the Aegis. As he goes, he'll wind up the comm and say "An exemplary performance. Requesting bay doors open so we can assist in securing the area and acquire functional equipment."
----
Stev continues his assault on the three remaining wolves, now making sure that he's in their way of attacking Sasha as well as Theta. With every attack on his comrades, Stev's eyes burn brighter with fury, invigorating him to lash out with a flurry of blows on the wolves in spite of the strain it puts on his body.
Mechanics: Melee Check 2P3A vs 2D. Net result 1 triumph 2 successes 4 advantages (WOW!). That's 11 damage. He'll use the triumph and however many advantages are needed to finish off as many wolves as possible, and whatever advantages are left can heal his strain. Before use of any leftover advantages, his strain goes up to 5.

Amura will continue to fight if any are left. Help others if not and remind group they need to get to cover.
Sigurd will try and sedate the Dr, if not then old fashioned knock out will work.

Boom, seeing the wolves and his companions so intertwined, doesn't think he can pull off anymore tricks with his explosives. This means he is going to have to try more primitive means to slow down the beast. He looks around for something to use as a weapon. He find a nice thick branch blown off a tree from one of his recent explosions. He picks it up and it feels confortable in his hands and easy to swing. He charges after one of the wolves attacking Theta. While his charge is smooth, his unfamiliarity with the melee combat and his impromptu weapon cause his attack to bounce of the wolf causing little to no harm. Fortunately it does distract the beast causing it to lose concentration on it's attack
Mechanics: Perception (2P1A vs 2d) = Net 1 Success 1 Advantage (Add boost to attack for finding such a well balanced branch)
Melee (3A1B vs 2D) = Net 3 Advantages (Split among add setback to wolf attack and strain damage).

5 PC
Sivu rushes toward the Aegis waiting for the doors to drop.
Amura jumps down the Ev step once on the ULAv and lauches himself over the three crewmen landing on a pair of wolves crushing them..
Boom Grabs a branch and rushes down the hill swinging and swatting a wolf.
Stev bashes the wolf as Boom strikes him the wolf crumbles with the two of you standing on either side.
Theta starts for the Aegis calling to Sivu,"Tell him to get that crate opened. We need to get the doctor and find my men."
Sasha climbs up off the ground and moves toward the Aegis.
Analia is at the Aegis punching the airlock and calling in,"Come on slacker get off you tiny little metal kester and open this door.".
The Aegis pounds the last smaller masses of mando and Wolf dirtdemons again leaving nothing standing. The jungle is smoking and small fires are dying down.
PD13
Gammer lays Jessa's sedated body on the top of the fort wall plops heavily next to her and self medicates with a flask. "I'm getting to old for this."
-----
The large Shadorman slides an arm around Dr. Brunou's head and locks his arm,"Just relax with it Doctor. Just relax." The Dr. struggles but days of no sleep and limited food make it quick work to knock him out. Sigurd sees the triangular plaque fall to the floor. Sigurd notices the air is getting a little stale in the bunker.
Next round,

PD13 opens the Aegis' bay doors and vehicle exhaust pours out of like fog. PD13 turns life support and refreshers for the biologicals. Slacker mans the ships guns and anti-personnel weapons to defend the ship. The SRV is still rev'ing in the bay charging Aegis. Thirteen warns Anailia over the Aegis intercom about elevated Carbon Monoxide levels within the Aegis and recommends the use of a breather mask to prevent brain damage.
Mechanics: Gunnery check with bonus and setback as before. Rolls 1 success and 3 advantages and 1 disadvantage.

"Elevated CO levels. Understood." Sivu walks into the Aegis, evidently unfazed by the altered atmospheric content, and begins rummaging for a fusion cutter or vibrosaw unaffected by the EMP. If that fails, he will bring out Boom's box of toys so the two of them can see what still functions. As he searches, he mutters "If life support on Aegis disabled, likely disabled in bunker. Hazardous for crew trapped inside. Must find escape. Explosives...risky, could cause collateral damage...maybe necessary...must find other options first."
Mechanics: Perception Check 1P2A. Gross Result 2 successes 3 advantages.
----
Stev breathes heavily as he begins to simmer down. He nods to Boom "Thank you. Those things sure knew how to throw a punch, and you saved me from taking one."
He turns in the direction of the missiles PD fired earlier, trying to see what caused the commotion. As he turns, he winces and quickly covers it up as he feels the pain again. Come on Stev, you're on a mission gone wrong with crew liable to go crazy any moment. The last thing the team needs is their commanding officer looking soft. Just ignore the pain now, and you can fix it yourself when this is over.
Mechanics: Perception Check, not to see exactly what's there (since that's pretty impossible given the distance) but to try to spot disruptions that indicate the approximate size of the approaching force and the direction of approach. 2P vs 3D1S (hard plus foliage setback?). Net result 1 advantage. Well, at least that'll offset the strain he took to do the check.

The Aegis is open. You could drive the SRV out and plug the tools right in. The Aegis power plant is running on full hou just a few hours to recharge everthing.

PD13 notes the Aegis has detected a small craft in orbit around Aaris. It was transmitting the code of a FarStar Defender. PD is aware that it would be a short range fighter with no hyperdrive.

Stev can see the smoke and fire but does not have a detection device that works to know where the possessed crew members are in the jungle.

PD13 removes the enormous jumper cables from the Aegis, so the team can use the SRV to jump start the other equipment. Activates fans to clear the exhuast in the crew cabin.
Slacker relays FarStar defender in orbits signal to commander Stev. Then he checks the pit droid survey teams transmissions at his open port.

Sivu grabs a fusion cutter from the Aegis and hops into the SRV to take it towards the bunker. As he drives, he plugs in the cutter and his breath mask and puts the mask back on the moment it becomes functional again. He doesn't want to taste this filthy air any longer than he has to.
----
As the SRV floats out, Stev hops in. He'll immediately jump start his comm then, if possible, open up a hailing message with the Defender. He doesn't like the sound of a hyperdriveless ship coming out of nowhere, especially one registered to the FarStar, but until he can ID the pilot, he can't draw any conclusions.

Sivu is by the bunker door with the SRV and the cutter.
Stev hails the defender on SRV comm and receives a message from a confused sounding Thyte,"Ensign Stev this is Thyte. I am in orbit of your position. Not really sure how I came to be here. I will move to your position to assist.
Theta is in the Aegis cockpit,"Droid return to your last firing position. We need to find survivors. I lead these men through Clone Wars, Galactic Civil Wars, and even Bacta Wars. I don't leave men behind."
As you are gathering at the Aegis Amura smells something in the air. It is not the rotted earth smell of the wolfdemons but the perfumed and musky smell of Samarion. Somewhere to the south Samarion is out there. The darkness hides him but he is there.
