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

No, Galiss, you are in the command center. He forced you to get in with the others.

Tyr is alone, and you doubt he is the expert swordsman. Stray blast fire shatters what is left of a window towards the front, ricocheting off a computer screen and exploding on a control panel.

"Get the door open, damnit..." Terran curses, pushing buttons on the main computer. The blast fire stops as she hits the right button, and there is a terrifying scream that sends rippling shockwaves through your bodies and the Force itself.

The blast doors open silently, pushing away scrap. They pull back, letting a heavily wounded Tyr hit the ground. He is full of holes, with dozens of dead guards bisected and fried laying at his feet. He isn't moving, but there are still 30 guards left, clutching their heads. One falls over dead, and a few others follow. 25 guards left.

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

The group heading for Tarnidmir's prison, dealing with the 4 guards left, also hear the piercing scream and feel the ripples in the Force. The others are close...

You still have four guards to kill, Presby.

But what most unnerves the first group is the shattering scream. What was it?

Galiss knows. He has practiced this power of the Force before, though he had not perfected it. It is known as a Force Scream.

The dark side of the Force is seductive, offering tremendous power to lure the weak-willed into its grip. Fear, anger and jealousy are the ties that bind the servants of the dark side, and by tapping into such emotions, the Dark Jedi are capable of unleashing untold devastation.

The power to destroy, however, does little to improve control of these abilities. Dark Jedi who have become angered sometimes lose control of their emotions. This can trigger shock waves that ripple through the Force, devastating both the Dark Jedi and those who are unfortunate enough to be in close proximity.

The “Force Scream”, as it is called, is “a wave of hatred, amplified and fuelled by the dark side, that is capable of smashing through mental and physical defences with ease”. A number of references to Dark Jedi in Old Republic archives often mention the Dark Jedi losing control, violently, in the final moments of battle.

That is what Tyr has performed. Being near death, knowing that you were going to open the door, he let out one final burst of hatred and emotions, killing dozens of the guards and sealing his own fate.

Galiss, your emotions are screaming with rage right now, though not literally. Terran is starting to cry, seeing one of her allies that actually meant something to her dead on the ground.

His senses were focused at the battle hand with everything which had no use or was of no importance became blurred while the guards, their weapons, and the others became highlighted. They were brighter, and were more apparent to his eyes, and to his other senses. He was about to charge the closest guard as he held his saber to his left, and was going for a cross cut, but he was placed out of sinc and stopped midway. The wave, the Force Stream disturbed nearly everyone of his senses as he felt the emotions associated with the wave.

"Galiss, get him inside!
Terran, close the door!"
*sees Terran crying*
*hits the buttons to close the door while Galiss gets Tyr in*
When the danger is averted, I hold her close to calm her down.
"It's ok, Terran. We'll get out of her with him, we'll find a way."

*is hit by the force scream and looses his concentration a guards blaster bolt hits him on his left breast armor plate and he is thrown back*aaaarg!
*the plate protected him but is now heated up and causing pain,he takes his saber in his hand and charges down the corridor slicing the guard that shot him* a fool to anger me*the other guards are in view now,and reez runs towars them his blaster in one hand his lightsaber in the other he kills another guard.........*

Lands, then stabs another Downed guard

one guard left.......*uses the force to pull the blaster out of his hand, walks up to him and chokes him with his hands*

Terran refuses to close it, pulling out her blaster pistols.

"We avenge him. NOW," she sobs.

She opens fire, nailing two guards dead on. 23 left. They are unnerved, and do not fire back just yet.

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

Your blow is stopped midway, Endecano, and you clutch your head. What the hell was that?

The shots you make miss wildly, Reez, and the guards don't shoot back. That Force Scream has messed up everything, and you wasted your shots.

Your run your guard through, Kydor, but then fall to one knee. The being that unleashed that scream was obviously a powerful one. You want to find him, if he is still alive. Or his cohorts. It is an instinctual thing. But the Force tells you that you will see them soon enough...

3 guards left, Kydor's attack is the only one that hit. Remember, Presbyguy, I control who dies and who gets shot.

rex, when I look at the screen, do I know how to close the door?
like... is there a big "HIT ANY KEY TO CLOSE THE DOOR" message without me wondering "where's the anykey?"

You can easily find the "Close the Door" button.

Galiss can start pulling the prostate form of Tyr inside.

I do that as quickly galiss has him inside, if needed, I use forcepull to assist him doing it quickly
if there is no lock on the door through the pc, it's best to hit the lock in Luke's ANH style to lock it, afterall we don't want them near us now

I grab Terran by the shoulder and lower her gun down.
"This is not the moment to give in to anger, that only needs to foolish deaths, he sacrafised himself to buy us more time, he didn't sacrafise himself to get you killed too.
We can't miss you here"
*whispers*
"I can't miss you"

ok im new at this simming style 😮 *on the ground dazed*

Not dazed, just a bit confused. You can kill now. 😉

<><><><><>

Terran stares at his dead body, lowering her guns. The guards are starting to shake off the dazed look, but they fire only into the thick blast doors. And you doubt you'll let them back in for awhile. You might need to get out that way.

Terran shakes her head and fiddles with the computer a bit. "I wonder how Karkos is doing in that control room. He's farther away from us, so we'll have to pick him up on the way off Oovo IV."

ok😉i think ill do it diferently*lifts his left arm and fires a poison dart at a guard*

we might not rex, airvents run through an entire building, not from room to room 😉

besides, we have sabres 😉
reminds me ... I take Tyr's sabre too and click it on my belt after saluting him with it

"hmmm... he should know when we're about to leave, if he runs into problems he knows where to reach us, I'm sure we leave a lot of corpses on our way."
*looks around the room for other exits and usefull items*

((we are on Oovo IV? wow))

Quor goes over to Tyr's corpse and takes whatever he had on him besides his lightsaber.

late again huh DR? 😛
if your character is a duallist too, by all means, take the sabre 🙂

I wanna butterfly hitting as many guys as possible

Galiss gets first dibs, orders from Tyr himself. Respect the dead, you Quermian you. 😛

You can take his sabers, but something keeps you from checking the rest of his body...is that a conscience? 😛

Exit behind you leads to Tarnidmir's cell. You have a bad feeling that you will have to face those guards when you get back.

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

Poison dart knocks him dead, Reez.

Butterfly? Huh? 😕
