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

Holding his arm, Kyle shoots back sarcasticaly, "Yeah, but I saw this pretty bird on the way down and I got distracted." He tries to scowl, but laughs instead. "It's good to see you made it. I just couldn't risk your life to save my ship. Of course, I'm not sure I saved either one, seeing where we're at now. Come one, let's get inside. Help me with my arm, then we'll get some rest. Figure out our next move."

A passed Observation roll from Kyle is handy there... there is movement in the treeline...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" says a joyous Vasilik, as he leads you through the jungle. "To be back here again, where life is simple!"

May I know who is in what vehicle, please?

"[Sounds good to me, comrade...]" Eerin comments as he moves towards the ruined vessel. "[I suggest we stay here; our comrades were planning to enter the forest, perhaps they'll...]"

Eerin notices Kyle looking towards the treeline.

"[What is...]"

No... t's stopped. Odd.

Eerin continues back towards the ship, moving a little faster...

Rhys looks at Vasilik with an amused look on his face. "The simple life of tearing something's throat out before it tears out yours?"

Rhys will definitely be piloting a skiff. Sasha can be gunner for him, unless someone else wants her.

"Yes! Kill or be killed! No hesitation, no confusion. No politics. Here, you know what life is all about. You can live for real!"

"But that is not only living yourself, it's killing others as well. Even if they are not able to think, they have lives. How could 'what life is all about' depend solely on taking the lives of others?"

"Do you live only on grass and weeds then?" asks Vasilik.

(Is he planning on eating the stormtroopers, then?)

"I don't know. I thought I saw movenent over there. " he points. "But I don't see anything now, you?"

He'd be interested to know, having killed them, why he shouldn't.

"[No]," Eerin says, "[and let's keep it that way...]"

Kyle takes a last look at the woods. "Yeah. We better get inside."

"[Indeed...]"

Eerin keeps wary of the jungle around them.

"No, but I don't eat other humans, and I wouldn't fancy eating a raptor, either," is Rhys' hesitant reply.

"Nor do I eat Osokan. Tough meat, not good for you. Raptor good meat though. Good eating. Other life forms die so that you may live. Why not take joy in that?"

Eerin and Kyle, you both head inside.

There is then a loud clang! as something impacts the top of the ship.

"Joy?" Rhys looks at him curiously. "I understand and accept that some life must die for mine, but I don't take joy in it. I don't kill my own food, and I don't enjoy killing other people, even if they attacked me and I have a right to kill them." He pauses as he thinks of the events of the previous day. "I see no joy in killing."

"And I see no joy in gardening. Why does it matter what I find joy in? Dead is dead, the animal does not care. There is no harm in killing an animal, and so no harm in enjoying it."

(Cue Jurrasic Park...)

Eerin looks up.

"[What was that?]"

"Well, it sure as hell isn't a stormtrooper." Kyle remarks as he draws his blaster. "And unless AT-STs can jump, I think we're in trouble!"
