USH'S GAME EPISODE I- "AVALAR"- Light Side (Lance Windu, Gundark, Phinney)

(Yes, Ush I am still in the lower level...)

Gundark quickly reached out with the Force and examined Vorton's psychological level. Fearing bringing other Force sensitive guards down upon her, she refrained from using any type of mind trick on him. "Easy, Vorton," she began with a disarming smile. "This isn't what it really looks like."

"Then why don't you tell me what it is you're doing here Kellan. I never thought I'd ever see you again and here you are, a damn Jedi no less, obviously breaking into a secured facility where you have no business being." Vorton had lowered his blaster but Gundark was aware his finger was still on the trigger. She carefully put her sabre back on her belt and let her hands drop casually to her sides. "I've been sent here by the Jedi Council on a priority mission," she began, deciding to use the direct approach. "Since you couldn't possibly have the security clearance level required to know the details of this mission, I can't really tell you anything." Knowing Vorton as well as she did, she knew that would be enough to confuse as easily as the mind trick. Vorton eyed her uncertainly and when he spoke, Gundark knew she had him in the palm of her hand.

"Well, I suppose...I mean..you're not supposed to be in here Kellan. If you're caught...well, its not going to be pleasant. Pelloran has guards and assassins everywhere....and, well, you are my friend.....", his voice trailed off and Gundark jumped on his words. "How do I get to Pelloran, Vorton ? Is there any other way up the volcano other than the cable car ?" Vorton's eyes betrayed him as they flicked toward a rectangular grate in the wall behind the clothes lockers. Gundark followed his gaze and groaned inwardly. "An air shaft ? she asked. Vorton nodded. "When you reach the top level, you'll come out into a maintenance room much like this one. From there, I have no idea how to access Pelloran," Vorton told her. Gundark worked quickly as Vorton spoke, prying the cover of the shaft off with a tool from a nearby workbench. "Thanks Vorton," she said. "Put this grate back in place after I've climbed in and forget you ever saw me."

Vorton hesitated then hugged her tightly, released her and stepped back. "Goodbye Kellan," he said slowly, watching her climb into the air shaft. "Maybe we'll meet again," Gundark told him. "Under more pleasant circumstances." Vorton nodded without saying more, and replaced the grate in its frame.

Gundark found the air shaft to be pitch black as expected, and pulled a small light from her belt. She hoped the shaft didn't become too steep or too narrow for her to wiggle through. She glanced back at Vorton, who was watching her through the patch of light from the maintenance room, but his face was in shadow and she failed to read his expression.....

It's no good, yerssot. The situation is beyoing reason. The people are levelling thier guns and firing.

FOR ALL PLAYERS: As yerssot engages the patrol outside, a security alert goes off in the base. The sirens are not too noisy and most people ignore them, but a few armed patrols do start to run to positions.

-

Firemaster:

'25 untracable cruisers!' says O'Brien, almost in total disbelief. But then you know just the right way to out things to make people believe them; as a Master, with the Force as your ally, you almost radiate trust and compassion all over.

'You've gotten me interested,' says O'Brien. 'I will need to speak to the security chief, Hade. Then he can get you up above to talk to Pelloran. I'll call Hade now!'

-

Gundy:

It's going to be a long climb! Still, you;ve had worse. At least it isn;t raining.

"Kellan!" calls Vortan after you. You look back, irritated at first but then you can sense that Vortan is deeply worried about something. "Be careful of Kuylen!" he calls. "Pelloran's friend in the military gear. He is VERY dangerous!"

Kuylen... RC mentioned that name... where HAVE you heard it before? You are sure you have.

I'm waiting for hade as I hear the sirens
I'm kinda surpised no-one seems to care
I think it's a false alarm and use my danger sense to see wether or not it helps me understand why this alarm is goin' off

Hmmm... tricky... too many people around for anything accurate... most people seem to think it is not their problem.

Though... there DOES seem to be a certain amount of general alarm and fear around... it is difficult to be certain where.

"Here is where the fun begins!"
yerssot screams.
He ignites his blue sabre; with a quick Force-Jump backwards he gives himself some room, but to be sure he also uses the Force-push.
While deflecting the shots his anger takes control of him as he violently pushes away the nearest guard...
Rolling, crounching, deflecting, jumping and choking... all these with an incredable speed of the Jedi, a well awaken one that is driven by anger, anger because they attacked him while he hasn't done something wrong.

When guards come to close they can expact a sabre in their stomache

Fortunately for the Jedi Master who was rather ungracefully worming her way through a ventilation shaft toward a maximum security area that she knew nothing about on top of an extinct volcano, the incline of the metal rectangular tube she was traversing was gradual enough that she didn't slide backwards toward the bottom. Gundark had stopped to rest at one of the reinforced gratings that actually allowed fresh air from outside into the shaft. Next time I'm going to go with the disguised guard idea, she thought to herself.
At least the damned cable car ride would have been easier than this.

In the dimming light of early evening, she studied the rocky surface of the volcano's exterior through the grating. Now wouldn't this be a fine time for that thing to wake up. That would end the mission real quick. Her knuckles were scratched bloody from protruding hardware in the shaft and she was sure her robe was torn as well, but at least it was some protection. Sighing, she thumbed her light back on and continued up the shaft.

Yerssot- you're not going to kill anyone with the choke, you know. Mustering such anger would be a. wrong, b. against your years of training and c. beyond you, quite frankly (NOTE- yerssot;s post subsequently altered at his request)
.
However, on the speed of a Jedi bit, you are quite right. You jump and spin out of the way, dodging all incoming shots. You deflect a few back, though none strike your attackers.

The leader draws a Reperater Blaster. You think that one is going to be more trouble, as he tries to draw a bead on your fast-moving form...

(the volcano is DEFINITELY extinct, I will just remind everyone... that really would be cruel...)

This place has NOT been maintained. At several points it is virtually blocked, but you can cut your way through, of course.. Luckily, this lack of maintenance means that it is unlikely that there are any security sesnors here. That's sloppy, but then these ARE pirates. The miracle is that pirates run a place this size at all; you didn't expect security to be absolute.

In fact, you don't think you can ever remember pirates being this organised outside of Hutt space. You DID once have to deal with a system which had a long history of Pirates trying to achieve this sort of thing, but they never quite made it- you and your Jedi colleagues saw to that. That had been a successful operation; virtually no violence involved whatsoever, all you had needed was an understanding of what was going on. You had done an extensive check about the history of the area in the Archives and...

...history...

NOW you remember where you heard that name from. Kuylen. You DID meet a Kuylen once. He was some sort of librarian, you think. He helped you find the records you needed.

Probably a co-incidence. It's an uncommon name, but a BIG Galaxy...

then I don't bother anymore trying

and just wait for brien to come back.
So I can ask him why the alarm went off.

besides that I'm thinking about how I can get past this security guy I'm gonna have to talk to before I can talk to pelloran

"That's an intruder alarm," says O'Brien. "We rarely get intruders; probably a smuggler. But it's nothing to do with us; let the grunts handle it. Oh, Hade should be down here in a few minutes or so. He would normally send an aide, but for such a BIG offer, he is coming himself to escort you up!"

okie thx

-while I wait for this security dude I close my eyes and try to enhance my senses-

Yerssot is still jumping, rolling and deflecting... he doesn't know how long he can hold this; probably 10 minutes...

"Secure his ship!" yells out the leader. Two of the men head towards your vessel.

The others fan out, trying to pin you down and stopping you from escaping. The leader fires with his rapid-fire rifle. You are forced to dodge- you cannot block all these shots!

You will have to do something soon before one of these guys hit home!

-

Firemaster-

Activity... movement... apprehension.. feels like someone has a serious problem. You think there is a fight somewhere. But it is still hard to tell.

Yerssot quickly jumpes towards the two guards using multiple jumps and rolls. Readying his lightsabre...

still waiting but wondering about where the fight maybe, I ask brien wether or not he can find out why this alarm is goin' off, I don't want ppl to steal personal items from my ship

I have important documents about the sales lying in them

The two guards are surprised, and try to swing their weapons towards you. You could cut them both down, but with that bloody leader still firing at you you will have to be quick!

-

"Oh, don;t worry," says O'Brien. "The intruders won't be INSIDE, or people would be far more worried! Nah, whoever it is is outside the complex. Probably only just got inside the static field bubble we use to keep the air in. Your ship will be safe."

still I'm not feeling very safe here

but anywayz will this man show up fast, I've had a long day and I would like to go to bed on a reasonable hour

"Should be here soon," says O'Brien. "It tkaes a few minutes for the cable car to bring people down from the upper levels."

Yerssot slides underneath the weapons, he is now facing the guards who are unarmed.
A quick slash and they are harmless...

WHile you are cutting down thre two guards, one of the repeater shots glances your side. You grimace and feel blood from the wound; you THINK you can fight on but it;s going to hurt...

Yerssot turns around, he looks at the one who did it...
than he smiled and Force-Jumped backwards; 3-4 times, than he concentrated on healing himself.... luckily it wasn't a lightsabre that hit him.
