[Day 8 - LA] Beautiful Music

[Tethys Carrack]

"Well ah think ah got th' new hyperdrive installed right, gettin' a proper mechanic to check it over a little later jus' t' be sure though. Should be a quicker trip if y' need a lift."

As the jizz musician starts to play Garth smiles and reminisces. " 'Member that jizz club back on Bankor? Black Garden?"

"How could I forget? I--"

And then the emergency broadcast started. "No, I've no idea..." Tethys abandons her kaff and catches up to Garth as he's speaking with the guards.

"This is a military matter now, civilian, please report to the shelter," they repeated forcefully.

"I'm a Jedi Knight, and this gentleman is commissioned in the Republic Navy, Officer...?" she looks pointedly for a name plate on the anonymous armor. "Anything I can do to assist?"

With no facial cues from which to read the guard's state of mind, she instinctively reaches through the Force instead...

D8 LA--Sense surface thoughts, Ulgo guard: 2eF 4 Light Side


uh, wow. Anyway, Tethys has the Sense Thoughts upgrade.

[Dapper Dog]

"Like I said master Jedi, we are securing the spaceport for the Crown," they repeated brusquely.

[Tethys Carrack]

Tethys looks alarmed... though not for the reason the guard might expect. "Where's your commanding officer? I've been investigating House Thul. If public safety at the port is at risk, I can assist."

Both completely true statements.

At the same time, she puts a warning hand on Garth's wrist and tries to shoot Aly a 'beware enemies' look.

[Garth Wayne Ulgo]

At the touch of Tethys's hand, Garth lets out a mental sigh and flicks the safety switch on his Dragoon, enabling Stun mode.

Turning to the crowd, he lends his voice to the commands of the soldiers, trying to evacuate as many civilians off the street before anything violent goes down.

[Alysele Organa]

"Master Jedi, House Thul has betrayed us, they are laying siege to the Panteer palace!" the officer replied. "We are securing the port for the safety of the people and the Crown!"

Aly frowned, and extended her Force given senses, trying to sense the motives and any surface thoughts. "Really? Care to tell me why Ulgo troops are here to declare emergency in an Organa territory?" She raised an eyebrow expertly, awaiting the response. "If I'm not satisfied with your answer, I will talk to your manager."

D8 LA Sense, sensing soldier motives: 2eF 3 Light Side


She also has Nobody's Fool, 1 rank.

[Dapper Dog]

"Weapons free, kill the Jedi secure the port," the Commander said.

OOC: Initiative please, roll Vigilance.

[Garth Wayne Ulgo]

D8 LA Vigilance: 3eA 0 successes, 2 advantage

[Tethys Carrack]

Really? That was a quicker resort to violence than Tethys had been hoping for.

Her stance shifts, feet planting further apart, and her hand floats to her lightsaber hilt.

"This lot are a distraction! The main attack's Rist slicers in port control."

--
D8 LA--That escalated quickly. Vigilance for init.: 4eA 3 successes, 2 advantage

[Alysele Organa]

"I want to speak to your officer!" Yelled Aly, even as she felt a disturbance in the...being told she was to be gunned down.

OOC:
Vigilance: 3eA 1 success, 2 advantage

[Durasay Mixo]

The vision occured in a flash. The carnage he witnessed. Alysele dead. His lips curled to a scowl. Anger coursed through him, as time seemed to slow and his reactions quickened.

Meanwhile, Giri Rist popped some hydro-gum and then said, “Alright got it boyos, we have full control. Locking down ships now.”

“Kriff, is that a Jedi on screen… alright time to see what internal security Organa has… probably crap knowing Organa!”

Giri hopped into the seat and started tapping at keys to bring up internal security and started slicing. It was easy as she blew another bubble and then brought up the targeting reticule… “Like shooting thraxxian fish in a barrel… which is a really weird thing to do. Mental note come up with better one liners.”

“Also stop talking to myself… although I really am the best person to talk to.”

Meanwhile

Down at the security check point two turrets pop out of the floor and start targeting the heroes.

OOC: Piece of cake, she activates the security Turrets! They are at Medium range. PC turn. Just so its clear going to the Turtle is away from the Command Station.

Rist Slicer break Organa Security: 3eP+2eA+1eB+1eS+3eD 2 successes, 2 advantage

[Durasay Mixo]

"Fall back to the Turtle! Defensive positions!" Durasay called out, his voice amplified by the Cascader. Moving back, instinct occured. A flick of his wrist from his regalia, and a cylinder clicked out.

The sound of it activating was an evil hiss, yellow fumes emanating from the sickly yellow blade.

[Tethys Carrack]

With a snap, Tethys's blue-green lightsaber flashes to life. "We don't have to do this, Officer."

But they probably will anyway.

Garth uses his 'free' maneuver to follow Durasay's lead and head towards the hangers.

"Tethys, this ain't the fight, they're not hurtin' the crowd, just herding 'em." HE calls out as he sees his Jedi friend standing her ground.

[Alysele Organa]

OOC: Taking first PC turn

Aly stepped back, following Durasay's advice, towards back his ship. Having some extra firepower can't hurt.

"Come on now, cowards. Show me what failures has Ulgo deigned to send after civilians. Or you're only tough when an enemy can't fight back?"

"A freaking Jedi, take her down!" a trooper cried as they fired on her. Meanwhile their commander barked orders and took cover as he fired at the Jedi. The shot goes wide.

OOC: Troopers aimed and struck her at Medium. These were at Short! She takes 11 wounds. Commander misses, but gives Minions #2 a boost die. PC turn.

Tethys's jaw tightens. She has an idea what Durasay is up to with the Turtle, and he's not wrong, but the spaceport control room is the other way...

"They're right, Aly," she grits out. "I'll cover you."

If Alysele gets killed while she's here, Niall will be DISAPPOINTED.

"Last chance!" With a sweeping gesture of her left hand, she calls on the Force to yank the nearest unsuspecting Ulgo squad into the bluegreen arc of her lightsaber blade.
