[MM6] - Don't settle for cut-rate. Hire the Best!

[Dapper Dog]

The Wing Commander did a barrel roll into position and fired on the Turtle striking it with a burst of Ion cannon!

OOC: Wing Commander, Stays on Target, maneuver and shoots with Ion Cannon, adds a boost die to the next ally. 7 system strain from the Ion cannon!

[Garth Wayne Ulgo]

Garth returned fire. Normally he was far more precise, but Durasay's orders had sent a cold shiver down his back, and he couldn't find the strength within himself to draw upon the Light.

Gunnery/Agi. Turret mount v Leader. Boost (true aim, aim, dura) upgrades (targeting x2, true aim) Destiny flip: 5eP+3eB+2eC+2eS 1 success, 2 advantage, 1 Triumph, 1 Despair

[Nudimsu]

It was clear they were trying to be taken in alive and captured, which wasn't going to happen. Still, he was not a vicious bloodthirsty Chiss. Many Chiss preferred to capture their foes, and he could do so in turn. Plus, more of a headache to deal with dead military people. "Have a firing solution. Taking it." And then he unleashed hell upon the flying ships. The first shot immediately shoots off the wing of one of the secondary ships, causing them to spin out into space. May be a little sick for the spinning, but he'd likely live.

The second shot was not as precise, since it was a lot of strain to take in, but he managed to get in another solid hit. Bit sweaty after all of that happening, but he could keep going. Not going for the kill shots made this a little bit more challenging, but it was the right call.

~~
First Shot.

[Dapper Dog]

Nudimsu takes out two craft with pinpoint accuracy.

OOC: One ship is wiped out right away by the Crit, and the other damage takes out one, so one left in that minion group.

[Dapper Dog]

Meanwhile the Wing Commander pulls some fancy maneuvers a quick counterattack to damage the cannon that Garth is manning! This pilot was skilled.

OOC: Snap Roll for 4, reduce damage to 1 the Armor absorbs it, no Critical Hit dealt. Ship suffers 3 system strain. Despair used to knock out Garth's cannon till the end of his next turn.

[Dapper Dog]

The remaining pilot trusted his ally and leader and did some dancing as they fired on the Turtle another solid hit!

OOC: Minions use Evasive Maneuvers and hit the Turtle for 8 more system strain from their Ion cannon! 1 Advantage to grant next ally a boost die.

[Garth Wayne Ulgo]

With the force behind Durasay's words fading away, Garth was able to find his center. While he was still conflicted about unleashing such an impressive weapon on their enemies, with all the systems around him throwing off sparks it was very much an us or them mentality in which he found a near perfect moment of clarity.

Rd 2 Gunnery/Agi v Leader. Boost (true aim) upgrades (targeting x2, true aim), enemy Stay on target: 5eP+3eF+1eB+1eC+1eD+1eS 5 advantage, 1 Triumph, 3 Light Side, 1 Dark Side

Losing Power to Shields: Decrease defense in affected defense zone by 1 until the Critical Hit is
repaired. If the ship or vehicle has no defense, suffer 1 point of system strain.

[Dapper Dog]

The ship was nimble but still the hit was solid and the Wing Commander cursed as they tried to adjust for the shields! That was a serious weapon!

OOC: Another Snap Roll for 4 to reduce to 6 for 3 total Damage and a Critical Hit! Now at 6 System Strain!

[Hacha Tsuko]

"Ion? Who uses Ion" Hacha sputters. "These might be legit lawmen, if they aren't trying to vape us. But you head to MY SHIP and your try to fry MY BEAUTIFUL ELECTRONICS?!?" The Duros works in a mad frenzy, his station suddenly a cascade of warnings of power fluctuations and draws throughout the ship that he needs to normalize.

After a few tense seconds, while conditions are still in his "yellow" zone compared to all Green, the Turtle is now back within optimal safety margins.

"I've got her under control for now, but we better wrap this up quick!"

Try the Best!-Ship Strain Repair-Average Mechanics-Upgrade from Signature Vehicle-1 boost from Mechanics tools-2 passed boost: 5eP+1eA+2eD+3eB 9 successes, 1 Triumph


(9 system strain repaired, using Triumph to upgrade the next incoming attack)

[Dapper Dog]

The wing commander stayed on target and fired again but the Turtle was not going down easy! But at least he bought his ally a targeting solution. But this was getting really dangerous...

OOC: Missed, grant ally a Boost die.

ADF Wing Commander Gunnery check on Turtle - Stay on Target: 3eP+1eA+1eD+1eC+1eS 0 successes, 2 advantage

[Nudimsu]

He continued to make his move, dodging the incoming blasts while still maintaining his speed and movement. "Locking in now." He aimed once again and shot the wings off of the ship.

"Ship disabled. Just one left."

~~

Hey! I just met you, and this is crazy, but I just pewed you, so f@$k off, maybe? [D6, MM] (2 maneuvers spent to aim: 2eP+2eA+2eB+2eD 5 successes, 1 advantage

[Durasay Mixo]

Durasay broke the jamming signal of the Turtle against the ADF patrol boats. Seeing them drifting as they were disabled, save their Captain.

The Cascader helped his voice sound as smooth as silk, the Force keeping his tone level. "Alright, friend. Let's be civil. We shot to keep you and your alive but out of our hair. Your team is all disabled, and I'm not sure if your fancy flying will do much else now." His tone was serious, if affable.

"Call a tow. Get your team back to base, and just let this one go."

MM6 - Don't Settle For Cut-Rate, Hire the Best! - Round 2 Negotiate Surrender (Presence 4, Negotiation 1, Cascader Upgrade, Influence Skill Control,+1eB situational boost, ADF Rival Cool 1eC+2eD): 2eP+2eA+1eB+1eC+2eD+2eF 1 success, 5 advantage, 1 Light Side, 1 Dark Side
1 light side Pip for an additional advantage.

Total: 1 success, 6 advantages. Using the advantages to be as affable and polite, yet show the seriousness of the matter.

[Dapper Dog]

There is a brief pause and then a reply, "Deal."

The pilot breaks off.

[Durasay Mixo]

Durasay slumped back in his seat, exhaling as the helmet unsealed itself and refolded into his armor. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he looked over to Nudimsu.

"Double time it to the rendezvous point."

[Dapper Dog]

Another inbound holo-call from House Rist on Alderaan after about ten minutes of travel.

[Garth Wayne Ulgo]

"Y' think we're gonna have a warm reception when we get back planetside? Ah hope yer client's got some powerful friends." Garth wondered out loud, just as the holo vid rang again.

[Durasay Mixo]

"She's a noble. Every one has powerful friends." The Pantoran called over the internal comm, before picking up the hailing frequency.

"A hoy hoy."

[Dapper Dog]

"I was concerned, has the danger passed?" she asked.
