I am going to scan the area, and plot a cousre that will let me land on the planet.

- Rava - You stand up after a time of meditation, feeling totally relaxed and ready to get on with the mission.

- Garmen - You continue to pour over some documents that you were able to get off the holonet during your brief periods out of hyperspace, paying particular attention to the parts that could assist you in the project that you have been working on: namely Sellia.

- Kylin - You scan the area. Your skill is 2D+1 +1D for the Scan function = 3D+1 [8]. There are many signals ouring in, and you don't have to look too hard before you notice an Imperial Star Destroyer, and an Interdictor Cruiser on patrol. You also spot 3 imperial TIE Fighter patrols of 6 ships each. There is a lot of traffic in the area, and you can see the civillian ships proceeding along the set route near the Golan 1 Defence Platforms that are used as customs ports. You will have to check in at one of the stations to avoid being chased down and boarded. You find the desired landing location in the southern temperate zone. The one thing you do notice is the lack of CorSec X-Wings in the area. It is possible that they are changing shifts. It is 19:57 by your ship's chronometer, and you will be landing on the dark side of the planet.

- Ilon - You bring your ship around, following Kylin, and everything comes into view. The Star Destroyer is easy to pick out of the blackness, and you can catch a glimps of the TIEs making their rounds. As a smuggler you have dealt with both before, but the thing that worries you is the Interdictor Cruiser, with its four large gravity well generators that can keep you from entering hyperspace.

- Ka - You have caught some sleep while you waited for the arrival at Corellia. Now awake, you lie in the corner waiting for the landing.

- Athena - You are playing a card game, Pazzak, with one of the pirates, but not gambling. You continue to play as Ilon Guides the ship toward the customs station.

- Cale - You have been watching Athena's card game for the last few minutes and have noticed that the pirate isn't all that great at cards.

- Nagta - You are sick of being stuck in a very cramped space with so many people, especially people that you do not trust. You observe the group, even after a week of relatively pleasant travel, for anything suspicious. There is nothing as of yet, but you don't trust anyone.

- Camon - You fly in formation with the others, noting the various threats in the area.

The Blue ships in the middle are passenger liners. The one at the top next to the top space station is a Corellian Corvette (Blockade Runner), and the one next to the bottom station is pretty recognizable. The blue thing behind you is a navigation/holonet satelite.

The next post will be Thursday December 2. I have two essays due on Thursday and over 18 books to get through before Monday so I have to spend my time "productively."

After reviewing my information, I decide to wander up to the cockpit to see whats going on and if Ilon wants any other of the ships systems improved.

I am going to get up, dust myself off and go have a preparation discussion with Rava.

[PX]Kal Bob · Post by **[PX]Kal Bob** » Fri Dec 03, 2004 9:50 am

I am going to follow the course I have set, when I recive a challenge from Corellia/Empire, I will transmit the CoreSec Secure Code.

Samurai · Post by **Samurai** » Fri Dec 03, 2004 10:11 pm

- Garmen - You make a mental note about the woman named Cray, or more accurately that her last bank transaction was on Corellia at a travel beureau located at one of the space ports on the far side of the planet from where you are supposed to land. Satisfied that you have stored this little bit of info you head into the cockpit and ask Ilon what is happening, and throw in a little extra question about improving the ship's systems.

- Rava - You stay seated and announce that it's almost time for landing, and prepare yourself for the mission. Ka stands, dusts off, and approaches you with the intention of discussing any plans or feelings that he or you might have about the mission.

- Ka - Once you are up, you head over to Rava and engage him in some conversation about the mission, nothing in general, but just ensuring that everything is prepared.

- Kylin - You set your course roughly tangent to the nearest Golan space station, standard proceedure when you are trying not to look suspicious, until you are hailed by a female voice,

Unidentified X-Wing, this is Corellian Security Force defense platform 29. Unless you have a clearance code you will have to dock with the station and submit to inspection.

You transmit the CorSec code and wait. There is a moment of unpleasant silence before the woman speaks again.

You are cleared for landing, please remain within active transit routes until you reach your destination.

- Ilon - You keep a close eye on the patrols, and head along the same course as Kylin, flying in formation. Garmen approaches you from behind and asks what's going on, and if you want any more of the ship's systems to be upgraded. A moment later a woman's voice comes across the comm,

Unidentified vessel,

the voice sounds a little shaky, as though speaking to someone who may be dangerous, famous, or both.

This is Golan Defence Platform 29. Please transmit a clearance code or dock with this station and submit to an inspection.

- Nagta - You stand and stretch. You then begin a thorough inspection of your knives and hold-out blasters to ensure that everything is in perfect form for the extraction part of the mission.

- Athena - You win a few more rounds of cards.

- Cale - You begin to wonder if the guy Athena is playing cards with is a hustler. Even somebody as bad at cards as he is wins at least some of the time.

- Camon - You head on the same course as the others, watching and waiting for a message from the customs stations.

The next post will be Tuesday, December 7. I plan to continue posting throughout the exam period, unless most people would prefer otherwise. You will have to post in the discussion area and let me know if you do not think I should post.

I will attempt to join the card game Athena is playing. I will way to the pirate

I think I could pick up some tricks from a player as skilled as yourself

and wink at him.

I am going to watch the pirate who is playing cards (until the group of us begin to disembark)
if i think he is hustling Athena I'm going to hoist him off the ground and make sure that he knows to give back any money that he may have scammed

Since I've had relatively little challenge in this flight, and Ilon seems to be ignoring me, I peer out the window of the cockpit. I notice the all the ships and the Golan defense platform. Being bored as I am, I return to the computer uplink port and attempt to remotely hack into the systems of the platform if I can (OOC, If I cant do this, just delete this and I'll post something else).

I am going to continue my conversation with Rava while keeping a very close eye on Garmen, and making sure he stays in his seat, using what ever force necissary.

Samurai · Post by **Samurai** » Tue Dec 07, 2004 11:28 pm

- Cale - You take the opportunity to sit down between hands, and speak to the pirate,

I think I could pick up some tricks from a player as skilled as yourself.

You wink at the man, and he gives you a strange look.

You know that Athena and I aren't playing for money. We're paying your pilot every last credit when we land. However, if you don't mind playing on credit I'm up for a real game.

You get a strange feeling, like something just isn't right. You watch as Nagta jumps out of his seat and lifts the man out of his chair, suspending him in the air by his collar.

- Nagta - You watch as Cale approaches, looking to get into the game. You study the pirate's response carefully.
You see the man playing with a ring on his right fore finger. In fact, the ring doesn't look like your standard piece of jewelery: its appearance is more high-tech than classy. The ring looks like something that you've seen other exceptionally lucky gamblers wear. You bolt from your seat, prompting a reaction of alarm from the others in the room. You grab the man by the collar, [Str = 4D [25] vs 3D [15]] hoist him right out of his seat and hold him in the air, with his feet over a foot off the ground.

- Garmen - You return to your seat next to the computer terminal and plug in your datapad. After a moment you open a comm line tht is directed to the station's computer. You find yourself staring at a login screen with the Imperial logo, and CorSec security force symbol in opposite corners of the screen. You are required to enter a user ID and a password. It looks like there is a system available for station personnel to do their paperwork from home. You opt to try an easy method of entry, a password logger. You must upload the file to the system without triggering any security responses. This is an easy roll and only requires you to exploit the stations standard system update protocols. [Comp. programming/repair = 6D + 1 = 24] You plant the password logger and must now wait for a sufficiently high-ranking person to log in.

- Ka - You continue speaking to Rava about the mission, keeping an eye on Garmen as he re-enters the cargo hold and sit's in his seat. He connects his datapad to the terminal next to him and begins keying in commands. He then simply stops and waits. Your attention is taken from him to Nagta as he stands up and picks up the card-playing pirate, looking like he might throttle him. Nagta doesn't do anything other than hold him in the air and look menacing, but you have no idea where this might lead, and there is no room to fight in the cargo hold, and everyone is armed, but at least they aren't brandishing weapons... yet.

- Rava - Ka continues to speak to you, but your attention is broken when Nagta grabs the pirate that was playing cards. There isn't much room to move if things get ugly, your group is outnumbered, and any fighting could potentially lead to deaths.

- Athena - Cale steps over to the small card table and takes a seat with you and the pirate. It looks like you could have a friendly game that actually involves money. Nagta suddenly jumps out of his seat and grabs the pirate by the shirt, lifting him clear off the ground. He holds him there, doing nothing, but looking very menacing.

- Kylin - You follow the instructions given to you by the traffic controller and guide your X-Wing toward the planet. It looks like Ilon and the others are following you. You enter the planet's atmosphere near the space port that you are supposed to land at. The lights of the city below shine brightly in the darkness of night, and the space port is easily visible from where you are. It will only be a few moments before you reach the landing pad that the Corellia team was supposed to have reserved for you.

- Ilon - You transmit the code to the station, with the following message,

Defence platform 29, I'm transmitting the code. The ships that are with me are my escort, I'm transmitting for them as well.

Roger that, please follow the regular traffic routes until you reach your desired destination

You follow Kylin down to the planet, entering the atmosphere, and heading for the prearranged landing site.

- Camon - You get the go-ahead from the station without even having to speak to them. You accompany everyone else down to the planet, and prepare for landing.

The next post will be Saturday December 11.

If he doesn't struggle to much I am going to take the ring from his hand and ask Garmen to examine it.
If I can't take the ring off his hand I am going to drag him to Garmen hand have him do a cursiary inspection of the ring
I will continue to hold him off the ground and grunt at him.
If someone tries to intervene on the pirates behalf I am going to grunt and ignore them.
I will offer little explanation for my actions other then scouling at those who seem to be questioning me.

Ghost [PX] · Post by **Ghost [PX]** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 11:55 am

I sit back and wait for the right person to log in. While Im waiting I will try and bounce the signal around so it appears like its coming from somewhere else.
