USH'S ORIGINAL TRILOGY GAME EPISODE I 'LANZAR'- Rebel Alliance Thread

(It just seems like the Rebel way. You know, the whole scoundrels-with-a -heart-of-gold thing. I'm confident. Kinda.)

(Good luck, Kyle!)

Sasha sits quietly with Rhys and Vasilik.

"I wonder how the discussions are proceeding."

From high above, the tree canopy looks lush and inviting.

When you are about to plummet into it, it looks harsh, sharp and nasty. Branches that seem needle thin from a distance, like delicate spider's webs, turn out to be more like iron bars, tearing parts of your ship off as you lose height below the tree level.

All sense of light and direction is gone as the ship is swallowed by the jungle. Then, it hits a particularly large tree trunk, and rebounds at high speed. The impact is too much for you inside the cockpit, Kyle, and you lose consciousness...

As Eerin is jetisonned from the ship, he stares back at it in amazement as the Last Laugh plummets downwards, a cape of smoke forming behind it, and then is swallowed up by the trees.

"[Oh Captain, you fool...]" Eerin says as he floats downwards towards the canopy.

(Does Eerin have his weaponry with him?)

I would have imagined so.

Sasha sits quietly with Rhys and Vasilik.

"I wonder how the discussions are proceeding."

"Hopefully better than everything else has gone so far..." Rhys responds grumpily. "This has been one big nightmare."

"You bring us weapons!" says Vasilik, happily, as if that dispels all problems.

"The man with the narrow eyes followed your convoy to my warehouse. He thought he was unseen himself, but my people have sharp eyes. We hid them where they did not see. And now we have returned them!"

Sasha pauses before answering.

"What man with narrow eyes?"

"Man with the narrow eyes?" Rhys asks, "What?"

He gives a good description of Arvus.

"Damn him."

Sasha sits quietly for a moment.

"We should deal with them, these sneaking mercenaries that the Empire has employed. I bet you anything that all stormtrooper raids have been initiated by Arvus and whoever he's prancing around with!"

"Ah, what does it matter? Our spirit is stronger!"

"But these men are exposing our activities," Sasha says. "If they are not stopped, then the battle is certain to come. We want to prevent it before it can happen."

"That may be, Vasilik, but a stronger spirit isn't going to be much help against an Imperial invasion."

(Crap. I knew Kyle should have kept harrasing him. Oh well.)

"There are things more important than who lives and dies," says Vasilik, with a sudden turn of philosophy that surprises you. "But still! With your plan we shall demonstrate the strength of that spirit, before we all die!"

"Our plan is to keep us from dying," Sasha says, resting her head on a hand on a table.

"No no no. Your plan is to die! Drakkon told me all about it."

"Actually, Vasilik," Rhys says worriedly. "We were intending to, you know, not die."

"No! I hear plan. You plan to go into jungle and fight. Drakkon says to me, these Humans will die in the Jungle before they find their foes. I say, no, Drakkon! Vasilik will lead them through the jungle! And we shall find the Imperials together, and attack! It will be a glorious battle! I shall challenge each of you for helemts of dead storm-troo-pers. And we shall all die together!"

He thinks this is the best idea ever, judging by that grin.
