====== 2022.03.01 The Great Escape ====== ++++ Water Shortage | There is a water shortage (one of the crew redirected to the Bacta tanks. NaiTheJedi has purified the dark lightsaber. ++++ ++++ Alarums and Excursions ... and Scavengers | Alarms go off. Everyone runs to their "battlestations". There is a single tie-fighter wing (debris). Many destroyed imperial craft. Including a partial Star Destroyer! Turns out the original alarm was our air filters are full. They call EngineerJowayne to the bridge. He finds a wedge shaped craft on the scanners. DovaKeen identifies it as a Interdictor. Seems to be active. Freighter. From LumenStation. Scavengers? We are IronWarden. ++++ ++++ The Fugitive | I notice a unsecured grating on the air vent leading to NaiTheJedi's room. I report it. I get attacked by AnderKoss (lose 1 BR permanently). I wake up. Tell them not to dock. They think that will be suspicious. NaiTheJedi finds him in the airlock. AnderKoss blows the airlock and heads towards the station. We go ahead and land the IronWarden. ++++ ++++ A Friend in Customs | We disable the ship (take a critical part). We try to enter the station. There is a long line. And the shield is closed. NaiTheJedi tries to bluff his way in, and force flips the switch to open the shield. The crowd rushes forward. Someone comes forward who seems to know CalterTheCop. CaptainLemule. ++++ ++++ Dr. Keen, I Presume | DovaKeen bribes the dockworkers to clamp our ship. He is met by someone with a card and escorted to a buffet. There he meets with his (former?) boss. Little stoned kids in their hemp pants form a dragon. DovaKeen joins them. They head towards the docks. ++++ ++++ Manhunt at the Farm | CalterTheCop asks CaptainLemule to impound all the ships. He agrees. Watch out with those hydrospanners. We head out to look for AnderKoss. A deputy joins us. We start at a the farm. The lead farmer is concerned about a firefight. He will pull his people out and remove the air in the farm. I check the computers * door open too long * airlock parity (closed but never opened) * 2 uses of same badge too far apart (the young rhodian officer) ++++ ++++ Doppleganger | We determine the rhodian's id has been compromised. We head towards the location where the "other" id was used. It's the dragon/buffet/party. There's a rhodian with a bubbly face. - Round - I shoot the rhodian (AnderKoss?) - DovaKeen throws the money guy behind him. - NaiTheJedi ignites his lightsaber and gives him a chance to surrender (nope) so he attacks, making him duck. - Rhodian shoots at DovaKeen (not really), but actually almost hits TrevorTheHench (who catches the bolt). The he shoots controls, closing the door between us and him (and DovaKeen). - Round - CalterTheCop has CaptainLemule lock down the sector. - I shoot the door with my holdout blaster, but no effect. - DovaKeen shoots at the Rhodian (stun). Stuns him. His hands disappear. Broad bony face. It seems to me AnderKoss. I pick him up. TrevorTheHench says he will take us back to the ship. When we arrive, TrevorTheHench disables the docker clamp and lets us on board. Actually he drops the shields and spaces us. ++++ ++++ Betrayal | - Round - DovaKeen (floating) uses blaster fire to move toward the ship hatch. It works. - I shoot AnderKoss in the hand. - TrevorTheHench opens the whole dock to space, and jumps up. Tries to get into a window. - NaiTheJedi force pulls the lever to restore the shield. - CalterTheCop gets one of the deputies to radio CaptainLemule to lock it all down (again?). - Round - DovaKeen runs to the cockpit - I shoot at him and disable the window. - He breaks the window instead and goes inside (a couple of civilians fly out). - NaiTheJedi saves the people. ++++
