In the Dark -- Episode I -- REX's Game

I call my blade to hand, chucking it at the respetionist, and pull out my blaster, firing three shots at each guards head.

Terrik strained his eyes against the light, trying to focus on the voice. He frowned, "Who's there..? I don't like games.." he grumbled.

It seems a blur to anyone in the room. The results of your fast thinking are three very dead guards with their heads blown open like melons and a very stunned receptionist. The blade hit his jugular vein, and he falls over dead as blood flows freely from the gaping wound as you call your blade back to you. Then you notice the holocam and newly sounded alarm.

The security guards from the entrance rush in, rifles ready to fire. The first few shots alert you to the fact that they are shooting to kill. The doors to your right and left lead into the warehouse where all the guns are...you think...

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"Come in, my friend," calls the voice as the door behind you slams closed. Sol-leks has left, to where you don't know. "I assure you that it is not my intent to play games...you just need to step into the light."

What, are you saying the turrets can be activated from the outside? Or must I use the Force?

Terrik watched the room cautiously, stepping into the light, looking at the chairs with skeptical eyes.

Well, common sense tells you that the controls for the turrets are inside...

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Sitting in one of the chairs is a man clothed entirely in black. His garb is that of a Jedi, but black. His hair is graying, and is pulled back into a ponytail. He has a sharp goatee on his chin, and his eyebrows are very sharp and perfect. The most remarkable thing about this being is that his eyes are a luminescent blue. He has no discernable pupils, instead replaced by a glowing blue.

"Welcome again, Terrik. I have heard much of you."

Ah. Thought so. So is the ship's hatch open?

Yes indeed. The bounty hunters are too frightened to remember to close the door. Even so, there are still more inside.

Stupid of them.

I quickly edge my way inside, closing the hatch and locking it as I do. I head to the cockpit, killing any hunters that get in my way.

I back peddle as fast as possible toward the left door, pulling out my saber to block the on coming onslaught of blaster fire.

You are nearly blown to pieces as you do so, but manage to slip inside. You slam the door as dozens of rounds are emptied at you. The bolts and bullets ricochet off the door or shatter into it. The hunters within are struck dumb by such speed and deadliness, and all of them fall dead before they can take action.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

While you are good with weapons, you are a bit clumsy with a lightsaber. Nevertheless, you are still very good and strike down two men with reflected bolts. You close the door behind you, leaving Arthos to deal with the rest of them.

The weapons warehouse is huge from the outside, but it looks even bigger from in here. Crates upon crates of guns and ammo and explosives...and lots of it! You are in heaven, being a Hitman. You go hunting for the gun that Pol requested when three security men open fire on you.

While you're here, might as well grab some guns...

*Because I am standind a few meters away I manage to slip behind some Cabinets in order to keep my presense unknown*

Are the turrets like those on the Falcon, or are they activated from the cockpit?

They can still see you slip behind there, and open fire. You dive back out into the open as the cabinets are riddled with bolts.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Activated from the cockpit, it seems. There is a targeting scope on the dashboard of the co-pilot's seat, and you can access the front-most one from there. A click of a button can change to the tailgun.

I activate the systems, target some hunters in front, and blast away with deadly accuracy.

You blow away a majority of the bounty hunters, leaving only 6 left. You hit a crate and it explodes.

((I assume the others are behind the ship?))

I switch to the tail gun and blow away all I see.

I quickly take aim and fire and the three guards. I find a hip holster , and a gun to go in it (BlasTech DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol AKA: Han Solo's gun) and strap it on, then go looking for the disruptors before any mroe guards show up.

You clip two, but the others hide behind crates.

Terrik looked into the man's blue eyes with caution, "You have heard of my work..? Few besides Jedi pay much attention to my activities..I like it that way..." he muttered in reply. He wasn't sure to trust these people, he trusted no one, but these..Dark Jedi, were close to the bottom of his list..
