[Day 8 - LA] Beautiful Music

[Dapper Dog]

“They have a silcer?” she said aloud as she lost control of the lockdown.

“Well I still have control of weapons… and this one is mine! Yes, Ion cannons… thank you,” she said taking control and spinning the large tower mounted cannons to fire on the Turtle! The cannons recoil and fire at the Turtle with accuracy!

Garth curtails his inner speed freak and barely engages the engines as he flies to a hovering position directly over the command centre.

"Neat trick," he called out over the loud speaker as he trained the guns threateningly on the structure. "Try it again an' we're all goin' t' that metaphor'cal spaceport in th' sky. Exit now with yer hands up, or ah open the door the fun way."

[Dapper Dog]

Well kriff, that was some fancy flying. Giri was a brave woman, a strong woman and with a drop of her smoke grenade she was vanished woman.

Why die for Ulgo when she can live and pretend this never happened. Besides she had Mr. Bobo’s recorded at home and she knew a noodle shop nearby that might have survived the fighting.

The Ulgo forces were outflanked and they come back over the comm, “We submit!”

Meanwhile in timey winey land


Giri kicked up her feet some thirty minutes later, she loved this show.

OOC: Bring a ship to a gunfight, you win. Destiny for slippery Giri.

[Durasay Mixo]

Durasay's wickedly yellow saber hissed as he looked about as the soldiers laid down their arms. The blade retracted, a diminishing growl almost as it disappeard into the hilt.

Bringing up his comm, he called into the Turtle. "Bring her down. It's over here." There was still a harsh edge in his tone, the fear and the anger of the area palpable to him.

His vision seemed to have been prevented for now.

"If you're going to stage a coup, I suggest trying it when you have less scrutiny on your system." He looked to one of the Ulgo troopers, his eyes narrowed.

[Alysele Organa]

Aly's eyes settled on the yellow sabre, appreciation rising in her eyes.

She eyed the officer. "Don't. Mess. With. The Organas." She punctuated her sentences with the tapping of her elegant shoes.

[Garth Wayne Ulgo]

As the crowd quieted down, Garth found a place to park the Turtle and approached Dura, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

"It were the most efficient way t' end the standoff." He explained simply, not apologizing for taking the Turtle, only justifying it. "Maybe th' Organa's 'll buy ya some new circuitry, them ion cannons got 'er pretty good unfort'nately."

[Dapper Dog]

The Ulgo troops comply as Organa forces retake control of the space port.

OOC: A message comes over the open comms: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=784

[Garth Wayne Ulgo]

When he hears the comms crackle to life, he immediately dials up MIyi in an attempt to warn her.

"MIyi, can y' hear me? Th' spaceport's gone crazy. Ah've secured it against th' usurpers, but where are you?"

[Dapper Dog]

Miyi comes back, "Garth... I was worried... I can't super talk long have the Queen here with me heading to Panteer Palace, that's where the real party is, I guess."

She sends back a text message with a chibi heart being shot by spaceships.

[Garth Wayne Ulgo]

Outgoing message:

Take care, I love you, I'll see you soon.

[Durasay Mixo]

As the crowd quieted down, Garth found a place to park the Turtle and approached Dura, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

"It were the most efficient way t' end the standoff." He explained simply, not apologizing for taking the Turtle, only justifying it. "Maybe th' Organa's 'll buy ya some new circuitry, them ion cannons got 'er pretty good unfort'nately."

The Pantoran waved off the concern. "She's been shot out of the sky before. Ion cannons are hardly a concern." He smiled, his hilt disappearing into the fold of his tunic. Then a thought. Reaching into his other sleeve, another cylinder was pulled.

"I know you said you were fine as is. But if you change your mind." He pressed the object into Garth's hand, without argument.

[Garth Wayne Ulgo]

Garth looks down at the cold, metal thing in his hand, the weight of it, the size. He wraps both hands around it for feel and looks down at the crystal around his neck.

"It's def'nitely somethin' t' think about, Dura." Garth replied thoughtfully. "Ah dunno what t' say though, for sure the weirdest gift ah've gotten from someone after gettin' their ship shot up. But thanks."

He spends the next few moments staring at the hilt, feeling it out, how it rests in his hand.

[Nudimsu]

~~snip~~

~~snip~~

Nudimsu came rushing into the scene, looking around the area and the mess. Didn't even bother to say hello as he eventually came to the Turtle. Which was not parked where he left it. And looked like it had been shot up again. After they had just finished repairing the previous ion blasts. He look at Garth, then Durasay, both looking rather rough. Looked at them again for a moment longer and clutched his fist.

"What. The FUCK. HAPPENED. To. My. SHIP?!" His face was already in a heap of rage, but it immediately subsided. "No, don't tell me. I'll only get distracted. Tell me later." And immediately ran into the ship.

[Garth Wayne Ulgo]

"What. The FUCK. HAPPENED. To. My. SHIP?!" His face was already in a heap of rage, but it immediately subsided. "No, don't tell me. I'll only get distracted. Tell me later." And immediately ran into the ship.

"Well errr...y' see, there were these real bad guys an' they were shooting everywhere. Even at the hangars, eventually, an' ah thought that if th' Turtle were t' get blowed up y'all would get REAL mad..." Garth starts to creatively explain before Nudimsu stomps off in a huff.

"Can' say ah blame him." Garth mumbles softly under his breath.

[Nudimsu]

Several moments later Nudimsu walked out with a robe on and a strap full of grenades. He looked over at Garth and Durasay and nodded. "I'm heading to the palace. If you want to apologize, make sure Hacha is safe for me." He walked off and stopped for a few moments, keeping his back to the two "I'm...glad the two of you are alive..." He shook his head and sighed deeply, then without warning quickly drew his blaster and shot at the ground near Garth before quickly putting it back in it's holster just as fast as it was drawn.

"...but don't ever fly her again without my permission." With that, he rushed off.

[Tethys Carrack]

Tethys is about to charge up the stairs to the control room... when the sound of the Turtle's engines overhead rattles her eardrums. Instead of cutting her way in, she enters--warily--through the open door to round up the surrendered Ulgo house guards.

Oddly, none of them will admit to being the slicer who broke into the port systems, and she's fairly confident none of them are lying, either. Several of them swear there was on outside slicer agent, someone from House Rist, no, really, she was just here! but Tethys finds no sign of such a person now, other than a loose viewport latch.

She herds the disarmed guards down into the waiting embrace of the Organa security officers, visually picking her fellow combatants out of the bustle--Aly still standing, good; Garth, who must have landed by now, good; Durasay... well, ambiguous. But not seriously injured anyway.

Although Garth does seem to be in minor danger.

"What. The FUCK. HAPPENED. To. My. SHIP?!" His face was already in a heap of rage, but it immediately subsided. "No, don't tell me. I'll only get distracted. Tell me later." And immediately ran into the ship.

"Well errr...y' see, there were these real bad guys an' they were shooting everywhere. Even at the hangars, eventually, an' ah thought that if th' Turtle were t' get blowed up y'all would get REAL mad..." Garth starts to creatively explain before Nudimsu stomps off in a huff.

"Can' say ah blame him." Garth mumbles softly under his breath.

Unlike Durasay, she still has her unlit saber in hand as she catches up to the Turtle crew and Garth. "It was for a good cause, Captain, I assure you," she says in a calming voice... but it's already too late, according to the smoking hole in the flooring. She glances at the others with a degree of concern. "Is this going to be a problem for you two?"

[Garth Wayne Ulgo]

Garth flashes a crooked grin.

"Ah've had worse dressing downs from scarier soldiers, ah mean when Admiral Chen tears strips off ya, he REALLY tears strips off ya." He looks to Durasay.

"Besides ah'm pretty sure Hacha's upgrades on mah hyperdrive will make me the quickest ship in this quadrant. Or at least one of 'em."

[Durasay Mixo]

"Hardly. He'll calm down after a few. Though the flying was more improvised. I was just trying to lure the enemy combatants towards this..." he nodded as he flicked a button on the comm, and an auto-turret sprung out from beneath the ship, tracking for a moment, before retracting.

The shot at Garth's feet had been a surprise. "It's rare when Nudimsu showcases any emotion. I'd say you should be honored, Garth." He smiled, clapping the pilot on the back before looking again to Tethys.

"I think the... greater good has been served here. In the end, that's what matters, is it not?"
