Mission 1 Gameplay

[muad'dib]

I keep walking.

The Alliance, you say. Lives at stake. How exciting. *short pause* What ship exactly did you say you were hoping to find? *short pause* Does the name Sirrak Yoth mean anything to you?

I keep walking, glancing at her face to see her reaction, and look for a scar above her eyes.

[[PX] Nebuchadnezzar]

Assuming I am communicating with the real Rava, I reply:

A second chance. Do what you must to keep me alive, but also find that beast so he gets the punishment he deserves.

[[Fallen]TSB]

i continue feeling out with the force

[[PX]Kal Bob]

I am going to continue down this new alley and make a left as soon as possible. I will then continue on my way to the bar.

[Samurai]

- Garmen - Your stroll to the bar seems to be uneventful. The street is practically deserted, but the large Imperial presence in the area can easily account for it. The shops that line the street are closed, and their lights dimmed, the displayes projecting elongated shadows out into the darkened street. The speeders occasionally pass by, illuminating the surrounding buildings with their running lights. You cover a fair distance and can read a sign that is pointing out the Fried Mynock in the distance.

- Nagta - You try to stay out of sight as you head down the alley. You, Camon and Kylin stick to the shadows as you continue to make your way to the Fried Mynock, and progress quickly in the desolate alleys. As you move you see several people emerging from the back of a building. They don't look like an immediate threat, possibly employees from one of the local shops just closing up for the night. They don't seem to notice you.

- Cale - Hilanna keeps pace with you as you walk. She listens intently as you speak, which is obvious from her expression. She begins to say something when you ask about the ship, but you cut her off and mention the name of Sirrak Yoth. Her eyes widen in sudden surprise, but she quickly masks the reaction. As you observe her features you notice that her face is unblemished. From your position beside her, you can also see that she has a tatoo of a lightsaber on her left shoulder near her shoulder blade. She speeks,

Yes, Sirrak Yoth is the girl who's in trouble. How do you know unless... Hey, did the ship you came on look like a teardrop with ears? I can't really put it better without getting technical. Would it be safe to say that it's a less common model?

- Ka - Thinking that you have made some sort of connection with Rava, you speak,

A second chance. Do what you must to keep me alive, but also find that beast so he gets the punishment he deserves.

You feel something reaching out to you, but it's almost as if there are two connections. One presence is unmistakably Rava, but the second seems dark, and forboding, yet still like Rava. The dark figure looks at you from across the clearing, and that's when you realize what doesn't look right about his eyes. From the darkened cloak, the figures eyes seem to burn with an unnatural glow, and the gaze sends a shudder down your spine. The figure speaks again,

Second chances are for the week, or those who can prove themselves strong and deserving of such.

- Rava - You continue to reach out with the force as the speeder rocks and swerves through buildings toward the medical centre. The driver shouts into the back,

Almost there.

Medical droids and human medics are working busily on Ka, as lays motionless on the stretcher. As you reach out you feel Ka, and more importantly, you are able to get a clear voice through the racing emotions.

A second chance. Do what you must to keep me alive, but also find that beast so he gets the punishment he deserves.

You can feel more than one connection with Ka. There is the superficial one that you have made, the one that allows you to communicate, but also a much deeper connection. The deep connection has reached something that you thought burried, and there is no mistake about it. Ka has unlocked something that you thought you had managed to bury years ago. You feel a darkness in the deeper connection, a darkness that is reaching out for Ka, and not under your control.

- Kylin - The darkened alleys seem to be providing a decent amount of cover, and it is unlikely that the sniper on the roof will be able to follow you. Still, you remain alert. As you and the others move quietly through the alley you notice some people emerging from the rear of one of the buildings. They do not seem to notice you in the darkness, and the light in the doorway goes out as another person leaves the building. It is unlikely that they are a threat, and are most likely retail clerks closing up shop.

- Athena - Ilon double-checks the lockdowns of his ships and then looks like he is preparing to leave. He gives his equipment a once over, and then heads for the door at the edge of the platform. You check yourself out to make sure that you don't have any blood on you, since it wouldn't go over well with anyone you might meet.

- Ilon - You double-check the lockdown on the Firespray and the Dianoga. After that, you give your gear a check, and then head for the spaceport door. Athena looks like she's checking out her clothes. Leave it to the aristocrats to worry about their clothes at a time like this.

- Camon - You go with Kylin and Nagta as they duck through the alleys and head for the Fried Mynock. You cover a fair bit of distance, and the only peopel you see look like employees closing up a store.

[Queen Zeus]

I am going to follow Ilon, he seem to know where he is going.

[muad'dib]

I stop walking.

Yes, I arrived in a "teardrop with ears", as you so aptly described. I am here as part of a group to rescue the girl. However, things went a little... strange. I'll fill you in. First, you tell me the status of the girl and the team sent here to extract her.

[[PX]Kal Bob]

I am going to continue through the Alley system untill I reach the bar.

[Tempus]

i continue walking but keeping on guard

[[Fallen]TSB]

I will say in my mind using the force.. hold on we are getting you help and do not worry I will take care of the problem .. just do not let go keep fighting and you your self might be able to take care of it your self..

I will then sit there just looking clam to everyone else to kind of put everyone else at ease if possable

[Ghost [PX]]

I continue to stroll on my way to the fried mynock.

[[PX] Nebuchadnezzar]

Starting to realize that this may not actually be Rava, I say

Yell me what I must do to prove myself worthy to you.

[Samurai]

- Athena - You follow Ilon into the spaceport proper as he makes his way toward the exit. He Summons the lift and both of you take it down to the first level and make your way to the main door. You reach it and look out through the transparisteel panels to see a small squad of stormtroopers still interrogating people. You have a moment in line to think of a way out before they get to you.

- Cale - You stop in your tracks and Hilanna comes to a halt a step later. You take a moment to speak without worrying about making your way through the alley,

Yes, I arrived in a "teardrop with ears", as you so aptly described. I am here as part of a group to rescue the girl. However, things went a little... strange. I'll fill you in. First, you tell me the status of the girl and the team sent here to extract her.

Hilanna's face takes on an expression of relief, and you note from your long acting experience that she is having trouble keeping up a stoic facade, but without more knowledge about her you can't tell if that's just her, or if there is something else that is causing that difficulty. She tells you what she knows,

The girl is still alive, but I'm not sure if she'll be that way for much more than a day, maybe two. The hutt is pretty pleased with his little captive, as a toy, but she's a royal pain. As for the other team, they've been made. Bogdith's goons caught them asking the wrong questions about his compound. Then they went to high alert and saw me snooping around the grounds while they brought back Jolan, who seemed like he was snapping.

She takes a breath and then speaks again,

I've managed to get Ortomi and Wei to a safehouse. They were supposed to rendezvous with you there. At least, that's what they told me. The owner of the place is a Twi'lek, and he's helped me out before. It's just down the street, the Fried Mynock.

- Kylin - You move farther down the alley toward the bar. After another minute or two of walking you manage to get within view of the bar from your position in the alley. It's one of the few places that are still open.

- Nagta - You plod along with Kylin and Camon, keeping a wary eye on the venue. The three unknowns make their way down another main street and leave sight after only a few seconds. You all come to the final row of buildings before the Cantina, and you get a clear view of the place.

- Rava - Focussing on the force, you are able to send a message back to Ka,

Hold on we are getting you help and do not worry I will take care of the problem .. just do not let go keep fighting and you your self might be able to take care of it your self..

After a second, you feel the dark emotions flare inside you, not as your own, but something not right.
You watch the inside of the speeder as the medics are busily working on Ka, giving reassuring glances to the humans.

- Garmen - You keep up the fast-paced walk that is common among those who are both motivated, and social outcasts in general. The Fried Mynock is just visible down the wide open street.

- Ka - The look coming from Rava, standing so forbodingly across the clearing, became even more menacing, if that was even possible, before he spoke.

Prove yourself? You wish to "prove" yourself to me? You wish to take the path of the strong?

An evil grin forms on his lips,

There are two paths to second chances, as I have said the glory of the strong is one such path.

He spreads his arms in an inviting gesture. Prove you are strong; kill me, unarmed as I am, and I will give you a second chance. You have one minute to decide, after which time, if I am still alive, I will kill you.

With that he stops speaking, and stande there waiting for you.

- Ilon - You lead Athena through the spaceport, taking the lift to the first floor, and then heading straight for the exit. You reach it and are able to see the Stormtroopers outside interrogating everyone who passes by. From the look of things, you've got a minute before they reach you.

- Camon - You continue through the alleys with Nagta and Kylin, finally reaching an opening that shows the grounds of the Fried Mynock.

[muad'dib]

I cup my face in one hand, rubbing my temples with a thumb and middle finger. I take a deep breath, drop my hand, and grin.

Is that all? Fantastic! Things could be going worse. I shudder to think what that would look like, but it must be true. Let's continue to that delightful location known as the Fried Mynock, and we shall see what we shall see.

I start walking in the direction I believe the Fried Mynock to be, with a jaunty step and whistling a lilting tune. I sing along to my little song in my head, where no one can hear me. "I'll kill them all, oh yes! Every last one of them, so dead! With my knife..." etc.

[[PX]Kal Bob]

I am going to walk into the bar an behave as if I belong there.
