Not yet, that would require more of my attention than I am willing to devote right now, and if I had to abandon it in mid-slice would likely be easily traceable back to me. I'm just going to keep scanning news feeds or whatever I could access without slicing.

At the sound of the Emperor's name, the khil looks backs from the terminal to where the newcomers have arrived.

Kel turns toward the direction the voice came from.


It's the other stormtroopers talking or somebody else?

Kel
A separate pair of stormtroopers appear to be after a different person across the promenade. This new pair were the ones telling Silten to step away from her. Sorry I wasn't too clear on that point.

Desperate times call for desperate measures Kel tells himself while issuing a last command to the computer console in front of him. He then grabs his repeating blaster and levels it at the nearest stormtroopers. Gentlemen, none of these ladies seem too keen to follow you anywhere. He then addresses the Twi'lek: Baby doll, you do have a way out of this rust bucket, right?


I'm trying to access a station map (assume it's pretty easy to find on an info terminal). I'm looking for hangars and escape pod locations. Use Computer:1d20+6=14 If Kel can't get that info fast enough, he gives up and proceeds with the other stated actions.

Init: (1d20=3)
"Not what I expected!" the thought flies through Amon's mind as he tries to think of what to do in the pending ruckus.
OOC: I guess Amon isn't as interested in this fight as I thought he was.

Rald looks over anxiously at the dashade next to him while still punching buttons on the terminal.

The clearly injured human woman sees Kel apparently coming to her aid and shouts as best she can while she keeps moving, " Please..anyone..help me...here are credits in it for you, just...get me out of here...please.

At the sound of more trouble the first pair of Stormtroopers turn to regard the new developing trouble. While the Twi'lek answers, "No, but get me out of this and I can arrange for some."

The second pair of troopers attempt to take aim at the fleeing woman.

If it's going to happen, it's likely going down now so please give me initiatives if you haven't rolled already.

Ok, this is going exactly as I thought it would. Poorly. Heck, let's get this party started.

Strakhov draws his blaster pistol and levels it at the closest Stormtrooper between him and the Twi'lek.

"Now, let's not get hasty here, we'll just take the ladys ship and be out of here before anyone gets hurt. I'm sure you have more important stuff to do than bother her."

Oh, this isn't how I had pictured my next job. Why can't I ever get a simple deliver job?

"I do hope you have a ship lady, because otherwise this will get messy, really fast. Don't like it when stuff turns messy. You need a pilot to get you out of here quick by any chance?

Silten's hand starts inching towards his tool bag, not wanting to pull out a gun in front of these troopers but not knowing if he'll have any other choice.  Why are all of these people yelling and getting ready to shoot?  This station is full of crazy people!

Jerran reaches not for his weapon, but his forehead. He could feel a headache coming on. He prepares for the inevitability of being drawn into the fight.
Initiative: 1d20(2)+2=4

Damn, I knew I should have trained in Initiative instead of Acrobatics. :/

How did you get my initiative result? My modifier is +9 so I can't really get a 9 unless I roll a 0.

This would be my roll in case you still need it: 1d20+9=22

Whoops, not sure where the heck I came up with that, Sorry. Been a crazy evening and have been getting interrupted quite a bit while putting out that post. Glad you caught it. I will make the requisite adjustments.

No problem  ;)Since we started, let's leave it like this and I'll just take my actions after stormtroopers 1 and 2 that already acted, so you don need to change anything, all right?

Kel pays little attention at the blaster bolt grazing his left shoulder. Pathetic! You'll have to do a lot better than that. Doubt you'll have the change though, ha ha ha! KEl mocks the stormtroopers as he sends a deadly barrage of blaster fire their way.


Brace weapon and autofire at the 2 stormtroopers next to the Twi'elk (and the squares to the left of them so that the 2x2 area catches them both and nobody else): 1d20+3=19, 3d8=12

Ok, I will leave your spot in the initiative order at 22 you can go first next round. Handling it this way though, ST1 did move two squares away and shoot at Corran.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrraap!

Stormtrooper 2 is showered in a hail of fire from Kel's light repeating blaster and falls to the floor with several smoking holes in his armor.

The twi'lek immediately drops to a knee and rummages for the code cylinder that will open her binder cuffs. Pulling them from the troopers utility belt she starts to release herself.

One down, three to go! Kel looks at the Twi'lek and his unexpected helper from the balcony (Strakhov since he's the only one that has drawn a weapon or made any obvious gestures so far) with the Dashade equivalent of a smile, which is something that would probably send chills down the spine of most sentient species. The lady already has a pilot, but you're more than welcome to tag along

Amon will take 2 move actions to move to AA9, moving through the temporary stall at X9-Y10.

Jerran delays until he knows what the Stormtroopers will do, not wanting to get involved when he doesn't know if the cause is at least Just.

Shit, he actually killed him. This just keeps getting better and better.

Corran, having to dodge the incoming blast, tries to return fire but his angle is bad and the shot he had hoped would knock his opponent cold harmlessly hits the ground. He shouts a reply to the Dashade as he tries to regain his footing.

"Good to know, it seems as if doing anything else would be suicide."


I had hoped we could have knocked them out cold and escaped, fugitives are less prone to be executed upon eventual capture than murderers...

Swift action to switch the blaster pistol to Stun setting. Standard to shoot but I assume a total of 10 is a miss.
