Traitor's Gambit (Game Thread)

[Melblen_Cairn]

"And what's going to happen to me?" Roah asks Amon, "Harboring fugitives of the Empire is what they'll be accusing me of. If I am lucky I will just lose everything, but I cannot take a life of imprisonment or slavery....not again."

[archangel.arcanis]

I can do nothing to stop them from taking everything. I can take you with us, protect you as best I can, and give you whatever I can to give you another chance to start over somewhere new. I am sorry we brought this on you Roah.... That I brought this on you.

[Melblen_Cairn]

"Good. Then let me show you a little known way to get out of here then." She opens a disguised hatch in the floor of a nearby room that leads into part of the superstructure. With Roah's help you are able to quickly get to Green Deck and into docking bay 7 without notice.

In the middle of the small bay stands a fairly rare Baudo class star yacht.

Maya introduces "This is the Banshee, hopefully her captain is aboard and not off in other parts of the station."

As you approach a set of guns pop out of a hidden hatch on the ship and point in you direction. Over a speaker you hear a woman's voice, "Any closer and you'll be sporting more holes then the moons of Thayvian VII. I don't appreciate unannounced guests."

"I am Maya, it was arranged that you would be my ticket off this station. My business is not yet complete but we need a spot to lay low for a bit and it appears you're our only hope at the moment."

"You weren't supposed to be here yet, and are the rest of these sentients the cargo you were supposed to be traveling with?

The Banshee

[McPoyo]

"While we are involved in her business, unfortunately not. Perhaps we might be able to broker a deal?" Rald softly calls out, hoping to draw as little attention to the hangar as possible.

Persuasion: 1d20+8=26.
Fuck yes.

[Melblen_Cairn]

A moment later the ventral main loading ramp lowers allowing access to the Banshee.

[McPoyo]

"The Captain doesn't appear unreasonable, at least. Maybe we'll get out of this yet," Rald softly says to Maya as he helps her up the ramp, hoping the others follow.

[Nanshork]

Silten follows, examining the construction of the ship.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Silten

Give me a knowledge technology check.

[Nanshork]

Knowledge: Technology: 28

Silten

You know a bit about the Baudo class. It's a ship mostly associated with well to do kids with a bit too much of their parent disposable credits to spend. The ships are built in a small shipyard owned by a reclusive Aqualish named Mendol Baudo. The shipyard build each to the specifications of their owners. The ships are also popular for their ease of modification.

[Shadowhunter]

Strakhov walks up the ramp with the rest of the group. He takes up a positioning by the hatch and keeps an eye out for trouble.

No, he's not paranoid, he's cautious 

[Melblen_Cairn]

Inside the ship a blond woman greets each of you. "Welcome aboard the Banshee, I'm Captain Sirona O'keefe. You're welcome to hide out for a while, doesn't appear that you have any Imperial tails on you from what we could tell. Crash was able to get into Sel Zonn's computer and keep an eye out for trouble while we are docked. Seems the Imperials are really driving the BSF nuts with looking for you all, assuming you are the ones in on blastin up the Promenade."

Seeing Maya leaning heavily on Rald she says, "Take her to my quarters up that way, you can use my quarters to rest up. The rest of you make yourselves comfortable. I have a passenger lounge there. and you can rest up in my passenger suite there. Pointing to each in turn. "Galley with an autochef is in there, though its been making some pretty aweful tasting stuff recently."

"I call the refresher, I want a bath and a good nap. I feel llike I have been up for days." Seela sighs exhausted.

[McPoyo]

After seeing Maya to the Captain's quarters, Rald returns to the lounge.

"So, whats the plan?" he asks the gathered sentients. "I'm pretty sure our chances of not being branded as fugitives is pretty non-existent at this point. Where do we go from here?"

[VennDygrem]

"Well, it seems pretty apparent that some of us are fugitives already. But that's irrelevant right now. We've got an injured woman who needs seeing-to, and Seela could probably do with making herself scarce. I get the idea that we ought to do the same. Once we find somewhere low-key enough, we can split off and go our separate ways."

Jerran said this, though he knew deeper down that he may have found a path to the goal that he's been looking for, either by following Seela or the Trandoshan. He was still hesitant about revealing his own secret, for fear that any one of these makeshift companions could be used to trace back to him. Best that the whole group's association with each other remain brief.

Obviously things are gonna go differently as circumstances keep the group together, but this reflects Jerran's thinking.

[LordBlades]

We're small fish in a pretty big ocean of bureaucracy. Or rather we would have been if you hadn't taken out that lightsaber in front of the cameras. Kel points at the trandoshan. Nevertheless, I'd rather we focus on what we should do from now on instead of what we could have done differently.The galaxy is a pretty big place. There's plenty of places where the Empire's long arm doesn't reach and there's plenty of people willing to manufacture one a new identity for the right amount of credits. So in the long run I wouldn't be extremely worried. In the short run however, we're still not off the station, there's still a pretty big bunch of bucketheads looking for us and we know next to nothing about the two women we stuck our neck into the line of fire for.

[Nanshork]

"The Banshee iss a fine specimen of the Buado class sstarship captain," Silten says after she introduces herself.  In stressful situations Silten feels the urge to tinker to calm himself, and when she mentions the galley he asks,  "The autochef iss acting up?  Perhapss I could take a look at it."

[Melblen_Cairn]

"Have at it. You'll have my thanks if you can fix it. I have had to actually eat the stuff that's come out of there, makes Lanteesian stew look good."

[Melblen_Cairn]

Seela soaks away the troubles of the day in a proper hot bath.Pulls out her datapad and reviews the material shot by L0-0K and the small amount that was shot by P3-3K. ""Lets see what we ended up getting."

[Melblen_Cairn]

Roah rests in one of the soft beds in the passenger suite. Weeping quietly at her lost livelihood.

[Nanshork]

Silten goes to the galley to examine the autochef, realizing that not only will work help calm him but proving his mechanical aptitude shall improve his chances of being allowed to leave on this ship.
