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

(They better have deleted those logs...)

Damn straight. I'm not for incriminating ourselves. They're on their own.

Alright, now that we've got that whole weapons thing as sorted out as we are gonna get it..
Lets move on.
Lets start making it hard for the Imps...

People are a bit distracted for that right now.

Ehh....
well then....
I dunno.

It's rather on the late side now, but you could have been helping up in space, you know.

What a crazy idea, the Pilots doing pilot-y things...

Whatever.

Okay, I seem to remember something about not being able to land in the spaceport again, Ush?

You can, it just looks a little odd, is all. Still, no time to worry about that now.

Okay, Jazz, BB, whaddya say we go ahead and land? Being the only other ship in orbit when the SD catches those freighters may be construed as suspicious.

(Well, chasing said freighters up into space, talking to them, and returning to the planet is probably about as suspicious as it gets outside of Hutt space. But yeah, we should get back and Ush posted earlier that we were headed that way. Anything we do up here now will just start the fight, at best. Let's get back to the ugliness below and help sort it out.)

As Kyle pilots the Last Laugh back down the planet's gravity well, he keeps one eye on the freighter. He willed it to go faster, but he know there was no way a normal freighter would get away from a Star Destroyer. They better have destroyed those logs.

Oh I thought that I was busy with manning the radio..

You are! But I was just saying there might be times and places where certain talents are put to good use. There is a problem with the current situation that I don't think any of you have considered, because it is not a practical problem- more like an ultimate one.

-

"What's going on?" asks Andran.

"The freighters have gone to maximum speed. They are looking to charge straight past the Deviator."

"These new Star Destroyers... at full speed they can outrun any bulk freighter," says another aide. "Their engine power is awesome."

"But they are not nimble," says the first speaker. "The Destroyers were not in an ideal position and the freighters have gone straight by the Deviator's nose. They are banking on clearing the gravity well and entering hyperspace before the ship can react and turn around."

(I think the 'ultimate problem' is that it's about to hit the fan and we're not ready. We don't even really have a plan, at least not that I'm aware of. Kyle's not the leader, he's mostly doing what he's told, and reacting to new things as they come up. The thing with the assassin was at least partially succesful. The thing in space was not. What's done is done. The warehouse thing is done so all those people are free for new tasks. I think they're waiting to be told what those new tasks are.

So... What's the plan?)

While that may be, I think the "ultimate problem" is something that Ush has hinted at multiple times and we've just been too ignorant to get it despite the fact that it'll seem perfectly obvious after it happens.

Call it Darkie experience.

It's certainly something Darkies never have to consider.

Then something to do with laws? With being nice, or good, or something like that?

Worrying about innocent bystanders because we can't happily carve them up if we need to?

You pretty much got it on the first line there.

That we're breaking too many laws? and encouraging other to do so?
We can't be seen as bad people right? And stuff like that.

The dialogue from Andran's crew continues.

"How long before they clear the gravity well?"

"They are bulk freighters. Their engines are designed for hyperspace use, not fast orbital exits."

"How long!?"

"Say, five minutes?"

A report comes from the Comms officer.

"We are getting new signals on the scope. TIE Fighters."

Unless those TIEs are heading out to offer the freighter crews some cake and ice cream, doesn't that mean that the Imps are about to illegally fire upon licensed Imperial trade vessels?
