Chapter 7 - Fire Team?

Nov 5, 2022 12:47 pm

Nothing jumps out as a winner for Ken, but he does notice that the smaller ships, the ones being offloaded onto trucks, are all closer to the gate. The larger ones, the ones just waiting to be moved over to the starport are parked farther from the gate.

AD-hoc spots several Astromech droids moving around the parked ships, apparently doing routine checks.

'I figure the big ones will have more stuff in them, since they're waiting to be unloaded in the starport,' says Ken. 'Let's go shopping.'

"Im going to ask some of the locals to help us with a distraction before meeting up with you" AD-hoc says as he approaches an astromech

Nox

"Sounds good to me. Bigger ships that should be moving anyway and can take a few more blaster bolts." Nox begins sneaking through the parked ships. During on of their stops through, he looks over his shoulder at Ken. "I know a thing or two about piloting as well, just in case you need someone behind the controls."

The team moves out, following closely behind Nox. It's not long until you reach the end of the smaller freighters, the medium freighters have a little more space around them and aren't tucked in as close as the smaller ones. Most of them have their ramps down and several have various crew members milling around.

'Looks like we want one of these,' says Ken. 'So we doing it quietly or are we doing it loudly?' he asks, tapping his blaster and grinning that disconcerting thin-lipped Rodian smile. He taps his commlink, 'You got a distraction planned for us AD-hoc?'

Nox

"I'm prepared to go either way. Maybe quiet on the outside and turn up the volume inside the ship?" Nox checks over his blaster, preparing for a possible firefight.

"I will have an answer for you shortly, Ken" AD-hoc replies. Then he turns his attention to any of the astromechs nearby. "I am curious as to whether or not you would help my associates and I liberate one of these ships, along with yourselves? I can remove restraining bolts or any other hindrances."

OOC:

Not sure which social skill It would be here, but I don't think it matters, AD-hoc is bad at all of them, lol. Not sure the difficulty?

Meebo makes his way back to the group once he sees them.

OOC:

The crew milling about are just civilian freighter crew, right? Not imperials?

The droid pauses for a second to stare at AD-hoc and then spins and with a "Be-wooop" races off towards the front gate.

Tomas sees the droid spin off and has a moment of panic. "Uh, guys -- guys seriously, this is not good! W-What do we do?!" He has his hand on his holstered blaster more obviously now.

"In the future, I will assuredly let Ken do the talking, and I will stick to repairs and upgrades. This whole ordeal, including our 'flight' here confirms I should stay within my original programmed parameters." the droid pauses as he remembers the actual question "For now we should probably stop that droid, or leave immediately."

OOC:

Can I try and stick one of the astromechs wheels to the ground with my goo gun?

Seeing the astromech making for the gate, Ken decides it is now or never. He signals Nox and makes for the nearest medium freighter. 'Looks like the starport is getting so full they're sending out piloting crews to assist the ships with finding a berth. Unless you've got a better cover story?'

AD-hoc, you can fire your goo gun. If you hit and get enough advantages, then you can activate Ensnare. :) Short range, Easy (P) check.

Nox

As nonchalantly as possible, Nox heads towards the freighter that Ken has picked out. "I think we can make that one work. If not, there's always the backup plan..." Nox taps his blaster as he finishes his sentence.

AD-hoc notes that astromech droids must be easily excited, and will try to avoid them in the future. For now though, best to stop this one... he takes aim at the tiny wheels. Unsatisfied with the unsuccessful results, the droid heads off to meet the rest of the group.

OOC:

Gonna take 2 strain to target a specific part.

Meebo trots along behind Nox and Ken - hoping that maybe his short form obscured by their larger bodies will make him seem unimportant to those they are approaching.

AD-hoc, what's the setback die for? The droid takes some damage and rolls on.
