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

(Ah. Then in that case...)

Yeah, just being jumpy, Kyle thinks. On the other hand, he didn't survive this long in his profession by not being paranoid. He decides to stay outside the Guild hall and keep his eyes peeled.

(Ok guys, you know what that meant. Let's get this moving.)

"[Something bothering you?]" Eerin asks his friend, eyeing him curiously.

That's something about the Osokans- they very much seem to have a 'what happens, happens" view.

You couldn't say for certain, but you also suspect they have become addicted to fighting.

Drakkon seems to more or less have won his poltiical game. The people seem to follow him. Shame the Empire wants to blow it all up, really.

Kyle, you are on a Balcony, overloooking the city.

You aren't used to being the guest of the Government. Normally this is the type of building you try to keep away from. Instead, here you are looking at things- the throngs of Osokans in the streets, the last of the traffic from the starport. The boiling brilliance of the lowering sun casting a sinister shadow over the brilliant emerald of the jungle. The jaggng scarlet slashes of blaster fire in a distant quarter of the city.

Wait... what?

Eerin follows Kyle's gaze and makes a bunch of flustered clicking noises, his insectoid wings fluttering agitatedly.

"[What the hell?]" Eerin clicks to his comrade. "[What's going on over there?]"

Uhoh...

How far away is that?

A mile or two.

Walking won't cut it. We still have that landspeeder that Galahad and Sasha have been prancing around the City in? Or maybe a hunting skiff or two...

Lets get a skiff, I'll drive, lets move!

While all this talley-ho'ing is nice, speaking strictly in-game shouldn't Kyle kinda alert everyone else, first?

(Yeah, we get kinda bad about that sometimes. Anyhow.)

Kyle ponds the balcony railing and makes an angry noise. "They're here. Let's get the others!" He turns and sprints to where the others are talking with Drakkon. As soon as he is within earshot, "It's too late for talking now! The city is under attack. Blaster fire about a mile or two away. I told you we should have prepared by now!"

"Gunfire?" asks Drakkon. "The city isn't under attack. I'd know if the city was under attack. What are you talking about?"

"Then your citizens could be attacking something. Maybe you don't have as much control as you thought...."

Rhys wonders what the situation could possibly be.

"Probably two of the Guilds feuding," says Drakkon. "Easier since someone gave them my guns," he points out.

"Well, I for one want to check it out," Scarlet says. "And we don't want Osokans dying before the Imperials get here. Can't you do something to stop the fighting?"

"I'm not a God. Can you name me a city in this Galaxy where there is not people fighting somewhere at some point?"

"I'm sure it's probably on Alderaan, if there is one..."

"Well I am sure there must have been no wars on this Alderan place for some time. They must be very quiet people also."

In any case, though, he'll let you have vehicles and so on, if you want to check it out.

"Yeah yeah, true..."

Scarlet will pilot one of the vehicles. I assume we're taking the skiffs again?

Seems to be all they have.

Kyle, if you're going, I'm your gunner, just in case...
