🔫 Get the Governor!

Ash presses a few buttons on a control panel on his forearm. His ship, a Khopesh IV, turns on, lifts off the ground slightly and spins around so that its blade-like wing faces the punks who were hiding behind it. The edge of the wing begins to glow fluorescent green and then unleashes a sheet-like laser blast in their direction!
OOC:
I think his Drive "To revel in maximum carnage" applies as well as his skill "shooting", so that's 4d6 ...

"Aw, now look at what your friends have gone and done," Damak says, yanking the graffiti dude back. "That was just a love tap but if I crank up the power ... well let's just say you might smell stir-fry. You see threatening us is always a very bad idea and soiling our ships ... well that's just a big no-no."

"Damn disrespecting punks..." says Rhugo as his hands reach to his rifle. In one fluent motion he brings his weapon forward and fires a shot, covering for the always reckless Rik.

"Not the Proton Raider!" Mina yells when she sees the carnage from these punks. A few of them start firing and Mina deftly dodges out of the way. The one nearest her ship is dangerously close to some maintenance equipment, so she makes a grabbing motion in the air. Across the empty distance, a hydro spanner dances up in the air suddenly as if held by an invisible hand. It hurtles towards one of the punks to clunk them in the head.
OOC:
Combat plus surprise TK attack for 3d6

Graffiti stomping - (3d6)

OOC:
So the basic system is you roll a d6 and if you get a 4+, you succeed. Skills, Equipment, and Drives can all contribute extra d6s to the extent you have them. This means that everyone by Mina succeeded. Point and laugh!
The bounty hunters light up the graffiti artists, and their bodies spark and smoke or are smote in two but the weapon fire.

Mina clunks one on the head with a spanner and he says, 'Ow!' before running away.

Damak smokes the one she's holding, and he goes limp, but could still be questioned. In fact, his last words are, "The Chang Chang Gang say the Slugs have no place herrrrrrre.... (gurgle gurgle)" and dies.

"I'm inclined to agree," Ash remarks to the dead punk that Damak zapped as he collapses to the ground. "I wouldn't want those Slime Bags on my planet either, but this isn't my planet or my problem. Besides, the way I see it, we're actually removing a slug of a politician," he smiles at the others.

Now that they're alone in the ship yard, Ash broaches the subject of preparation, "So, we've got 3 days ... I guess we should probably review those Trivids. Rhugo, you've got an eye for seeing a good plan in a layout, d'you want to check those out for us?"

"Should probably scope out the area surrounding the palace too." He pulls up the map of Adranus and points to Ohsun Gardens. "Anyone want to join me for a walk in the park?"

"And it'd be great if we could get someone on the inside. I'm too recognizable to Tanau, but ... Damak? I suspect you can clean up quite nicely ... and rich bureaucrats love a celebrity. If rumor got out that one of the top S1 Racers was in town, you could find yourself with an invite to the party pretty quick."

"Or what about you two," he says looking at Rik and Mina, "Might take a bit of deception, probably a couple fake ids, but with a little polish you two could make a convincing aristocratic couple visiting from the core to attend," he says with a bit of mischief in his tone, having noticed the tension between them in the bar.

"What do you think?"

"Ash, I'll ignore that clean up nicely remark just this one time. After that....hmmm," she says leaving the threat dangling which she lightens with a smile.

But sure! I'm always up for a party and celebrity status. Maybe I'll find myself a rich husband too."

"I'll take that walk with you."
Sep 13, 2022 9:52 am
Rik gets back, crossbow in hand, just in time to hear the death gurgle of the fight. "Aww... You guys already handled it?" He says in a disappointed voice and moves the weapon onto his back.

When Ash starts proposing a plan, Rik grabs a can of Fazer Cola®. He's just taking a big gulp when Ash mentions him and Mina being a couple, causing him to choke and cough. "Mhmm... *cough* ... We can definitely handle that." He says, trying desperately to stay 'cool' and suppressing a blush. "I mean, if that's alright with you, Mina. It really doesn't matter to me." He throws in nonchalantly.

"Actually, I know a guy who does fake ID's from my smuggling days."

"Don't worry Rik, I suspect there'll be plenty of opportunity to use your bow before this mission is over," Ash consoles Rik with a pat on the shoulder.

Ash chuckles at Damak's initial reaction, hands up in a jest of submission, "I just mean I've never seen you in a ballroom gown or cocktail dress." He's happy to see her playful smile eventually show and her interest in the idea. "I expect you'll turn a few heads, which will of course be to our advantage!"

"Excellent! I was hoping you might be interested in the gardens," Ash says to Grego. Few people would guess that Grego Kane was a green thumb at heart, but once you got to know him, it was all he talked about, getting enough money to retire on an agricultural planet in the Rim. He knew his way around a garden and might see opportunities that Ash would miss.

"That sounds promising," but waits to hear what Mina and Rhugo think before heading out.

A slow smile spreads across Mina's face at Rik's offer. "Aristocratic couple? We can handle that." She moves in to give him a side hug and slips an arm around his lower back in the same familiar gesture she used with his copilot a few minutes ago. "Fake IDs? I haven't had a fake ID in forever. It sounds fun." Her eyes flash with mirth.

"Doesn't look like you will get that wonderful chance, Ash. But hell, I got to find some suitable clothes now, don't I?"


Damak then giggles at Mina and the idea of her and Rik being a pretend couple although it looked to her like they didn't want to pretend. She thought they really were into each other. "Hey, lovebird aristocrats. Wanna go shopping together?"

Sep 14, 2022 2:33 am
Mina turns to Damak, but only glances her in the eyes briefly before she looks back up at Rik again, "Even Space Paladin Temple dropouts need fancy shoes from time to time. Rik, do you want to go... shopping with Damak and me? Or should the girls handle the heavy lifting?" She smiles sweetly at him.
Sep 14, 2022 10:25 am
"We should get moving." Grego says, as usual using as few words as possible.
Sep 14, 2022 4:31 pm
Rik almost had his 'cool' back when the sudden hug from Mina sends his mind into chaos again. Damak's comment doesn't help either. How is this happening? What is wrong with me? He can't figure out why Mina is causing this odd reaction, but he's got to get over it. Snap out of it, Rik! He tells himself as he slaps his own cheek.

"Uhm, shopping. Sure... I mean, yes... I mean ..." Stop embarrassing yourself, dude! "Well, I mean, the mall will probably have a PHONE (Pulse Hyperspace Open Notification Engine) for me to get in touch with that contact for the ID's." He walks to his ship, The White Wyvern.

"You riding with me then, Mina? Rhugo can keep an eye on your ship for you. Right, Rhugo?"

"If he watches my ship too I can go with?" Damak asks Rik. Now she's teasing them. She will take her ship but she wants to see the shy couple's reaction first.
Sep 14, 2022 9:41 pm
Mina looks over at Rik's co-pilot, asking him, "Roog, can you watch the 'Raider' and the 'Vulture' while we're shopping? I'd hate to come back to even more cocks scrawled on my ship." She was already planning on going with Damak, so she didn't see why the trio couldn't travel together. 'Weird that she wants to ride with us, but we are a team... I guess.'

"It's a good job you're taking Rik with you then," Ash jokes as he gets into the Khopesh IV.

Once he's settled in his ship, Ash replies to Grego over comms, "Alright, let's do it! Lead the way big guy." Their ships take off in formation headed for Ohsun Gardens.

Rik didn't expect that question from Damak. "Sure, there's enough room. How good are you with ship weaponry?" Being next to his ship somehow gives him more confidence.

"Hey, it's an art!" He shouts at Ash with a smirk before getting in his ship. "We'll be in touch, people."
Sep 15, 2022 9:45 am
Grego settles into the cockpit of the Wayward Centaur. He brings her up and around, and moves her in front of Ash's ship. He then takes a cautious approach to the gardens.
