Seven looks from the Doctor to Khan. "Is that a euphemism? Wait, nevermind...don't answer that. Maybe I should leave you two alone. I should check the engine room and put my tools away anyway."

Seven backs out of the room and makes his way to the engine room with his backpack.

Wuc'vulog, the crews medic, is intending to remain in the turret until we've cleared the imperial entanglements. As such, he probably wouldn't hear Elisan's request for assistance.
Aug 11, 2015 5:16 pm
Khan laughs loudly until the pain of his injuries comes rushing back.

"Son of a bantha that hurts!" He coughs as he clutches at his wounds.

"If you would learn some discretion, Khan, you wouldn't be in this mess, now would you? I keep trying to teach you…one day I won't be there to pull your butt out of the fire, and you'll wish you had listened to me," Callista says with a warm smile as she places her hand on his shoulder, reassuringly.

Mado does his best to fly the ship casually and purposefully past the imperials. They have codes after all, which means they definitely belong.
Aug 12, 2015 2:01 am
Two TIE Fighters break from the patrol around the space port, and fall into escort, or pursuit, position. After a few moments of tense silence, the Turtle receives a comm ping and orders to fly directly to the Harasser for scanning. There is also a terse reminder that any attempt to flee and they will be fired upon.

It looks like the comm codes have held up.

Mado relays the circumstance to the rest of the crew, "They want us to fly to the Harasser for scanning, and I assume after that will let us out. How do we feel about submitting to that request?" While waiting for their reply he directs the ship towards the scanning point, ensuring to all outside observers that it's obvious that the Turtle is going to submit to scanning. Although he does, true to the ships name, ensure that they are taking their sweet time getting there.

Seven replies from the engine room, "I think we'll have to submit. I would suggest starting your astrogation routines now, just in case. I'll come up to the bridge in case I'm needed for countermeasures."

Wuc'vulog, once free from the blockade, makes his way to the cockpit, and requests Mado to make for Bpfaash. He then examines the datapad he got from 'Max' and heads off to find Rexi to discuss a possible side mission.

As the Turtle approaches the Harasser the scale of the corvette is immediately apparent. The Turtle is roughly 35 meters long, but beside the Raider-class corvette it is a fifth the length of the larger vessel. There was nearly no comparison: the Raider-class corvette was designed to handle fighters and similar scale vessels. The Turtle was a smugglers dream—but it wasn't a warship, just a heavily modified light freighter.

"Hold your present course and prepare for scanning," the officer ordered, his voice slightly tinny due to the comms, "If you deviate course we will open fire."

As the Turtle flew into the Harasser's sensor range sensor alerts pinged in the cockpit. They were being scanned, and thoroughly so. The scan went on for several minutes before ceasing suddenly. No other freighters appeared on the sensors, at least on this side of the planet. With a crackle the comm channel opened once more.

"You are clear to proceed, Turtle. You may jump when ready."

(OOC: Make an Astrogation (Int) check at easy [1p] difficulty to plot your course. Anyone can technically do this.)

With clearance to go, Mado doesn't hesitate. He sets a course and hits the comms, "Holding onto something is probably a good idea." and the Turtle leaps into hyperspace.

Seven heads to the bay to check on Khan and Pepra.

"Hey...looks like we are under way." *Winks at Khan* " Maybe we'll have a few minutes before someone shoots you again."
"I don't know if you are incredibly brave or completely insane for charging out there against all those imperials. I think my own family would have left me there to rot. I hope Pepra appreciates it."

OOC: I know he is a NPC now, but Is Pepra awake?
Aug 31, 2015 9:34 pm
"Ha! I hope someone starts shooting soon. I'm starting to get stir crazy. Hey Doc, anything you can do for the arm?"
Sep 1, 2015 1:24 am
The Turtle jumps to hyperspace without even a stutter. The ship settles in to the jump, and soon the familiar sounds of the jump drive are low and steady.

By the time Seven returns to the medical bay, Pepra is blinking furiously under the bright light that Dr Eliasan has set up. Clearly unused to a ship's medical bay, she has been configuring the bay to her satisfaction. At least, as much as a ship's medbay could be reconfigured. Surgical implements were out on the table, as were an anesthetic patch, the hyposprayer she got out first, and just about any other tool the medbay and her own gear could provide.

With a bit of a glare at Valoris, she walks to the intercom, "Yes, only I'm more of a researcher and less than a surgeon. You'll be lucky to have use of that arm when I'm through. I can develop hyposprayers and stimulants, but surgery on a crippling wound like yours ... that takes a lot of training."

She punches the intercom, and the concern is plain in her voice, "Valoris' wound is quite bad and I'm not a skilled surgeon. Is there anyone with medical experience on board who can at least help me?"

"What happened?" Comes a moan from the other bed as Pepra sits upright, shakily, "I feel like a gundark hugged my skull!"

Wuc'vulog detours from his route to find Rexi, and instead makes his way to the medbay. Seeing the organized disarray, he smiles at the doctor. "Doctor, I'm Wuc'vulog, one of your hosts and ships medic. I am a trained surgeon and would be happy to see to your companion. Would you care to assist?" His lekku twitch sensually, until he sees the damage done to the man's arm. "Vape! No time."

Wuc'vulog rearranges the tools to his own liking, and prepares for surgery.
Sep 6, 2015 7:03 pm
Eliasan breathed a sigh of relief and moved aside to allow Wuc'vulog room beside Khan. "Yes, his arm is very bad and with my skill I'm worried that he'll lose it. I'm glad you're here."

Now, with a trained surgeon, Eliasan set the operation in motion. She quickly put on sterile gloves and injected Khan with an anesthetic. It would be more merciful for him if he wasn't awake for what was coming...

Wuc'vulog smiles friendly at his assistant. One they are finished prepping the patient for surgery, he begins. His friendly demeanor drops, his lekku hang rigidly down his back out of the way, and he begins.

Several hours later the surgery was completed. The injury was quite deep, but the speed at which they were able to treat it allowed Wuc'vulog and Eliasan to save the use of that limb. It would have quite the scar, but would still be functional with no penalties to its use.

"Doctor," Eliansan said respectfully, and handed a mild stimulant patch to Wuc'vulog. "Thank you for your work. Valoris won't admit it, I'm certain, but I think he feels the effects of his advanced aging more each year."

(OOC: Valoris regains 5 wounds and no longer has a crit! Also, since everyone has had a breather everyone recovers all their stress points.)

While Khan is being worked on, Seven tries to engage Callista and Mado in conversation. Being the blunt-type, his opener is "So, what are you guys running from?"
Sep 9, 2015 1:32 pm
I shrug, "Hutts, usually. Imperials most of the time." I shudder, "Mostly though I try to run towards treasure, forgotten ruins and relics of the past. Not only is it an accomplishment to dig something up, but those kinds of goods usually sell for a pretty penny."
