AD-hoc easily closes the ramp and heads for the bridge. There's a moment of calm as the ship seals itself and the familiar, quiet noise replaces the frantic sounds of combat.
OOC:
Plenty of seats on the bridge and 3 turrets, who what where?

Ken heads straight back into his turret to open up on the Imperials below.

Knowing there's already a pilot, Tomas figures he would be of best use on a turret. He heads in the direction of one.

Seeing the rear hatch now closed and hearing no more blaster fire, Nox begins to take the ship up.

"Attention everyone, this is your pilot speaking. Please have a seat and fasten your seat belts. We are commencing our takeoff and may find some minor turbulence. Please feel free to shoot down any and all pursuing craft. Thank you for flying Imperial air." For a split second Nox's laughter can be heard over the comms before they turn off.

Ken and Vespin make it into their respective turrets and Ken can see the Imperials on the ground running for cover, especially after the turret points in their direction.

The landing field falls away quickly as Nox and Meebo guide the ship out of the atmosphere. The hails from the Imperial picket ship comes in quickly, almost as quickly as the 4 Ties bearing down on you.
OOC:
Cool rolls for everyone and we'll be at long range with the Ties coming in fast.

AD-hoc gets to a computer, hoping to do something to help the situation.

Nox begins accelerating to keep their distance from the ties. "Whatcha think Meebo? Should we open a line to them?"

'Roger that Captain. Port turret manoeuvring to target pursuing TIEs. Permission to send them a message in the language of twin laser cannons?
OOC:
Spending 1 Strain for an extra Success on Cool using Rapid Reaction
OOC:
Is there a Turbolaser on this freighter? With the extra range it might be worth one of us firing that first before using the laser cannons.

@Ken, yes, the dorsal turret is a twin light turbolaser (Dam 9, Crit 3, Range Medium, Breach 2, slow firing 1)

The port and starboard turrets are Twin medium laser cannons (Dam 6, crit 3, Range close)

To the front are Two Proton torpedo launchers (Front arc, Damage 8; Critical 2; Range [Short]; Breach 6, Blast 6, Guided 2, Limited Ammo 8, Linked 1, Slow-Firing 1)

Clocking the TIEs coming in at range and realising he won't be able to hit them with the laser cannons, Ken radios 'I'm going for the turbolaser.' He slides out the port turret and sprints to the dorsal turret. He jumps into the firing seat and powers up the targeting computer. 'Let's show them we mean business.' He begins tracking the nearest pair of TIEs, waiting until he can get off a shot.
OOC:
Not sure what the rate of acceleration is with the TIEs but assuming Ken can't open fire this round he'll Aim/Aim

"Permission granted. Let's try and shake our current heat and not gather any more than necessary. I'll flip over a channel to see what they think about your message." Nox starts tuning through the comm channels, hoping to find the frequency that they're being hailed on.

Being small sometimes has its disadvantages, and as the ship took off, Meebo was tossed about more than a heavier person might have been. But he gets up, dusts himself off, and heads for the third turret.
OOC:
I'm back! Things are still chaotic, but I'm hoping to keep up with posting. At least until Christmas.

The two elements of Tie fighters go to full throttle, closing from long to medium range. In the distance, Nox sees a light picket ship moving towards them as well.
OOC:
Ken, I assume you would hold your action until they moved into medium range, which they have. Due to the size difference, Silhouette 5 firing at silhouette 3, it's a Hard (3P) check.

No luck on the receiving the hail?

Ken ensures the targeting computer is picking up the TIEs and manually refines the aim. 'Sending a message now...'

The turbolaser rakes the TIEs. 'Message received!'
OOC:
Spent some strain to aim
OOC:
Can I trigger a crit with that Triumph?

Tomas hops onto the port turret, frustrated that it's come to this.
OOC:
Not sure where I am in the initiative.

Nox manages to find a signal coming from the small picket ship at long range in 'front' of you. "... freighter, cut your engines and prepare to be boarded." About which time you see the flash from the dorsal turret.

The first of the Ties erupts as the turbolaser blast is really a little excessive for such targets.
OOC:
Ken, did you want to try anything with that Triumph?
Nox, Meebo, AD-hoc - any bridge crew actions?
Vespin, your right after Ken in the order. The ties are moving into your turret's range and you may shoot, etc.
Dec 20, 2022 8:36 pm
OOC:
Either trigger a crit to hit another TIE or get a free manoeuvre and scramble back into one of the laser cannon turrets for next turn
