USH'S GAME EPISODE III- 'ARTIFACT'. Dark Side area

Now the fight starts to break up. As you head towards Persis, the Geonosian breaks away from the Jedi and tries to catch Ascar before he escapes. But Ascar's car is already sliding out of the garage.

"Sorry, must dash!" he calls down. "I am sure my secretary can handle any of your problems..."

Suddenly, a loud voice booms throughout the room.

"This is Jedi Master Grevor Scovione," it says. "This place is surrounded by elements of the Malastarian security forces. All illegal combatants are to put down their weapons and surrender to the Jedi at once."

You hear two lightsabres ignite, by the doorway you originally came in from. One belongs to an elderly Jedi (who you sense power from), and the other from an eager-looking padawan by his side.

(damn italians...🙂)
we're undoubtably outnumbered thinks takuan as he slowly makes a few steps backwards, looking for a quick accessible way out. He watches the nearby windows checking the jedi's affirmation. There are now 8 jedi in the room against only 3 of them. Chances are not looking good. Still, Takuan would like another way before fleeing.
he suddenly remebers of Gald's ship wich should be arriving takuan looks at the astrolabe again, searching for an extration solution. where could nayler be.. he asks himslelf. Pulling the thing to him would't help much

(Your instincts serve you well...)

"Give the word," says Nayler, quietly, over your comm units.

Galder, Persis moves quickly towards the Jedi as you advance towards him, meaning you are approaching Persis AND the Jedi.

The elderly Jedi blocking your escape route quietly restrains his padawan but will not keep patience much longer...

"we're here with the astrolabe" he says to nayler "...and in a bit of a situation. Where are you?" As he speaks he keeps focusing on the surounding jedi probing for any imminent attack.

He's just waiting for a go signal at a time you think best, he's not here for a conversation.

i see..
takuan decides to wait a few more seconds before the go signal, to see if the situation presents any major turns, though he doubts it.

Galder backs off. Approaching the Jedi isn't what he had in mind. "Miramar, attack all forces in the area," he whispers into the comlink. "On my mark...attack now."

(Don't call him that... if you put him in a mood he might not exclude yourself from those orders...)

The whole place descends into chaos as Nayler's men attack from all sides, blowing holes in the ceiling that they rappel down from, bursting out from airvents, and having climbed down the lift shaft. They pour into the room at the same timr as the police burst in the other side. A moment later you are each of you in a confused melee as Persis' guards, The Miramar, and the Police form three distinct sides, all hostile to each other, each led by force-using sabre-wielders. Blaster fire rings out from a hundred different places and soon there is smoke and fire from damaged systems, obscuring your view all around. You see Nayler's men putting their electropoles to good use, getting close and easily taking out the men of the other factions up close.

There are people everwhere, and no clear exit.

Takuan find this crowding a good diversion, for him to concentrate on extracting the astrolabe. MAking sure he has little fired shots at him, and the jedi at a safe distance, he lifts again the big artifact and starts pulling it to him.
"gald, where's that ship?" he whispers to him.
He attacks any closeby fireing men.

"It should be here any minute now..." Galder says. He charges into the fray spinning and twirling his lightsaber around, his red saber flashing like fire and his blue saber giving off a cold light as they cut through the police force and Persis' men. He asks a Miramar warrior where Nayler is.

Most of the Miramar seem to be in an odd fighting frenzy, and you are given little reply... most are holding off the police.

Galder and Takuan, you find yourselves near each other again... but you are suddenly awate that you havr fought your way INSIDE the slowly expanding ring of Jedi... and you doubt you will get out again without having to take one on...

"we have to get that astrolabe" he says to gald while cutting through the nearby attackers.

"And if we don't manage that, we can at least kill a Jedi before we die or get captured..." Galder says, firing shots from his repeater towards Master Gundark.

"that would be satisffactory, indeed" Takuan is waiting for Gald's ship wich should be coming. he prepares his last thermal detonator for when they'll quickly leqave the room. For now he's just deflecting and slicing.

Galder, you blast away at Gundark who has just unwisely kicked Chion. She deflects the shots away, and then the older man by her side is moving towards you. You try a few shots at him but he deflects them easily with his sabre. Nothing for it, then... you grimly ignite your second sabre and move to meet him.

Takuan, you lose track of Galder in the confusion. There are sabres flashing all around and your senses begin to become overoaded. Your fear nearly overwhelms you, and you almost dash in panic.

"I see you, dark one," says a voice in front. A figure in the smoke in front steps forwards and takes the form of the young padawan you saw earlier. His blue sabre is held towards you.

"Defend yourself."

It is duelling time, guys. Rex fights Fire whilst Dexx takes on Corelay. I will create the threads for you soon. Good luck!

Takuan engages the padawan.

Oh god, I have to fight a Master?! As Han Solo says, "More like suicide!"

(Galder now returns)

Minus your arm now, Galder, you are a little unaware of things, but you feel yourself being dragged away from your Jedi assailant. Your wrist com is also bleeping, as your ship is going to arrive outside this building in about a minute.

Galder looks around, oblivous to the laser fire and explosions around him. By instinct he clips his red saber to his belt and calls the blue saber to him with his only hand, which he then clips to his belt. After the stunned surprise wears off, Galder looks to whoever is dragging him.

It's Nayler.

"The astrolabe is FAKE!" he yells at you.
