STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Rescue

Rianna will approach Desal, her lightsaber ignited and pointed at him.

"We're short on time here. If you have any useful information for us, you're just about out of time to share it," she says, smirking at him.

Dak will let Rianna kill the weak, unarmed, entirely helpless and terrified little man.

"You're going to die anyway, but if you tell us something we like she may kill you less painfully."

Rianna shoots a glare at Dak.

"I've come off the worse in a duel with lightsabers before. I know exactly how painful being stabbed with one is...so speak up quickly."

Useless, Rianna. Now he is just sputtering in abject fear.

Useless indeed.

Out of patience with him, Rianna stabs him through the chest with her orange saber, before sweeping the purple one around to decapitate him. Satisfied that he's dead, she leaves the room without waiting for Dak.

Dak follows her. "Well, that was pointless."

"Leaving him alive would have been too dangerous. Would you have trusted him were he left alive? After all, I didn't think you were that stupid..."

Xavier goes and gets Trax all the help he can get for him.

Indeed, useless scientist with his desire to create alternative energy to cheapen its costs for the poor. Totally deserved it.

Trax is easily patched up, but he will not be attending whatever lies ahead as he muchly desires to not be dead and feels that these Shepherds are out of his league.

Damn straight he did.

Guess it's time to go and follow then...

As it is, he was probably not going to cheapen costs anyways. Jerk.

Following time it is, then. With the natives in this area wiped out and the chemical factory abandoned, there is not much to do here but grab supplies and leave. If the Corporate Alliance comes sniffing, there is not a whole lot they can do but maybe get a new scientist and fix up the lab.

The coordinates that the transport fled to are, in fact, nowhere near any stars or planets.

Soooo...space station out in the middle of nowhere. Interesting.

Let's loot the place and get out of here. Medical supplies could be rather handy and stuff.

So it would seem.

Medical supplies are just about the only things you guys could use from this place. Snatching that does not take long and you are ready to give chase.

Medical supplies can be handy.

So, can we go? 😛

With Trax patched up behind the controls of The New Beginning and a few medical supplies stashed in the cargo hold, the Dark Jedi take their leave of Magnus Delta with the location of their enemy secured...

A short hyperspace jump takes you to the coordinates. At first you think there is nothing there but the vastness of space stretched out before you. But then you see the station in the distance, a tiny object in space. Trax moves the ship towards it and its design becomes more apparent; it is a series of haphazardly connected tubes wrapped around a cylindrical engine unit, positioned vertically. It spins slowly.

"Sensors indicating that the station's targeting systems have locked on," Trax says. "What now?"

"Try not getting us shot down. You're the pilot, after all," Rianna says, shrugging. She's not going to be the one to try hailing the station.

Will Dak or Xavier do it?

Dak will hail the station. "Greetings, space station! We are refugees from a pirate attack. Our ship is falling apart and we need someplace to make repairs. We humbly request safe docking; though we have little to barter with we will pay what we can."

He shuts off the comm and grins at the others. "No damn merchants this time."

Rianna just rolls her eyes.

"If anyone ever claims we're merchants again, I will make sure they're never able to speak again..."

The New Beginning suddenly lurches and you brace yourselves.

"I know who you are," says the voice on the other end. "Your lies are feeble and you cannot hope to convince me with them. But I assure you, your landing aboard my station will be sound. What happens from there is up to you. I advise that you cooperate with the welcoming committee. It is in your best interest."

Trax confirms that the lurch was the ship being locked in a tractor beam.
