"If I land, you will have this dropship," he says. "You need it for something or you would have not bothered getting aboard."

"You killed our representative," he says. "I would rather avenge her death!"

The pilot starts to accelerate and throws the dropship into a hard turn as he moves for a cliffside in a suicidal effort...

Do I think I can land it myself, I mean, is it hard?

If you can wrestle him for the controls, you may be able to pull up in time...

I was actually thinking of shooting him, then pull it up? Would that be faster?

Stabbing him with your activated lightsaber would probably be faster and safer.

Yeah, I'll do that then. Then try to control the ship and land it.

Con acts in the heat of the moment. You drive your lightsaber through the back of the chair and the pilot cries out as you pierce him. He slumps against the controls and you dive to catch them. You roll... a 14. You manage to pull up, but the bottom of the dropship drags along the top of the cliff, which violently throws you against the controls and you hit your head...

... you come to with someone prodding you.

Who is it?

It is the pilot that Sparnik sent with you.

"Are you alive?"

"Yes, I seem to be. Let's not waste time though, we must hurry".

THis is just a ship that gets us around here, right? For inter planetary travel I need another?

The dropship is atmospheric only, so yes. The pilot is counting on the dropship going unnoticed amongst the others heading back to the starport, and from there you can snatch a ship.

Alright, then we should get moving on that.

Sorry for the delay, busy week!

The pilot is extremely frustrated with you for crashing the dropship. It is pretty battered already, he was worried it wouldn't take off. But it seems to be in working order, and the pilot tells you to strap in as he sends the dropship soaring out of the mountains, back to civilization.

I will prepare for the arrival then.

The pilot says just be ready to leap out of the dropship with him and make a run for a parked starship while everything explodes around you from blasterfire. Once you leave the ship, the ruse is up.

Ah, okay, I will gt ready for that.

The dropship emerges from the mountains on the edge of the Vono'k capital, the fires of war having been put out since the attempted assault by Sparnik. As you enter its airspace, the dropship is contacted.

"Dropship 1138, why have you returned from your scouting mission?" comes the message.

Does the pilot know what to say, or do we have to run now?
