Takeover at Whisper Base

Moro notices the turbolift opening and shrugs. The guns are still active... he thinks as he continues the shutdown process. He quickly switches to a different panel and brings up the targeting interface, lining it up against the turbolift, firing as he sees the white in their armor.

Peering of the shuttle Brosck watches was Kal and Kael both miss with their blasters.

" Amateurs. " he laughingly snorts as he cracks his knuckles and starts moving to the lift. "I better show them how it is really don..." and before he can finish his sentence the turbolift erupts in laser fire stopping Brosck in his tracks. The troopers inside... Dead and smoking. Brosck turns to where the bolts came from to see a waving Calamarian smiling and giving him the thumbs up from the cockpit of the shuttle.

At this moment he turns away with a deflated look on his face.

I stand and clap Brosck on the back, "Maybe you need bigger fists to compete with Moro's really big gun."

"... But it would have been a glorious fight.." Brosck says softly. He shakes himself out if it. "There has to be more. Where is out next battle at?"

"Awwwkk......#%#$$%#%$@$$" comes out of the droids VOX processors as he watches the events unfold via the security monitor. He springs open like a swiss army knife, appendages failing about and spins around in place as he argues with himself as to why organics make no sense to him. All the while the team lays waste to the turbolift shaft and its contents.

The light blinking at the panel snapped G5 out of the tantrum, as he rolled back up to the interface. Turbolift AH-001 was showing a malfunction warning light on its control board.

"Bzz Dooda" squelched the droid, the binary equivalent of "No Shit" in basic.

G5 quickly extended a manipulator arm forward and brought to rest on top of his "eye" and just shook his dome from side to side. Then reclaiming the arm, the droid just tapped his dome on the panel with a slow soft metallic thud several times.

Recognizing the new danger, G5 starts cycling thru the security feeds to see what the base inhabitants might be doing, and works to disable the warning light from any terminal that might see the signal remotely.

"Well played Moro... But now we need to get back inside. Any ideas?" I stand, arms crossed, staring at the smoking turbolift.

Moro looks around and shrugs. "Maybe if we can find rope or cable, we can pop the lift open and climb? I can help R2 fix it enough to get us down."

"Aye, repelling back into the base seems the best idea. Can someone see if its likely that the damaged lift will suddenly drop to the bottom of the shaft, don't want it crushing us by surprise on our way down. Then, we'll need to find a way through the hulk of useless metal." After giving directions, I head into the lambda shuttle and search around for grappling hooks, climbing gear or, at worst, some heavy cable.

"You want me to do want?!?" could be hear from the conversation between Kael and Brosck. Brosck is not looking happy at all. "Why can't we just take the whole base instead of sneeeking around?? In a hole!"

Brosck is yelling and waving his hands while looking at the small, very small, very confining option.

"We can take the whole base, that is the plan. But we have to get back inside first. You're welcome to walk around the base in the muck and forest to get back to the garage we came in through." I smile, then start down the ladder into the shaft. No point lounging around in the now isolated landing pad when there's work to do.

Moro simply shrugs and follows in.

Shocked and then very annoyed with Kal's statement (because he didn't think of it first) Brosck is opened mouth as the Calamarian walks by.

"This is a bad idea... i mean i could help... Errr!" Brosck is arguing with no one now since the other 2 disappeared Down the ladder.

He sighs and makes his way to the exit. He gets to ladder and starts to make his way down also.
