Topic: Dawn of Defiance: The Traitor's Gambit
Subject: For Reralea, Loki, and Geraint...
[OOC: Meanwhile… back at the ranch… er… Deck N14 Storage Bay {Switch’s Liar}]
Hako’ib, Ithiria, and Karra waited for the Arkanian mechanic to return. They busied themselves with preparing to leave, ensuring they had all the equipment and personal belongings they needed, and shedding that which they thought could be left behind.
[OOC: Last call for equipment… let me know in your posts if there’s anything you’re taking or leaving behind… You may also include casual conversation here amongst yourself… ]
Ara had been gone for roughly twenty minutes, when the doors to the Storage Bay opened. Each hoped that it would be their companion… but it was not.
Three Human males, a Bothan, and a Wookiee cautiously entered the storage bay, their weapons drawn. Hako’ib immediately recognized the group as the Jin-Gul Gang, a smuggler group dealing mostly in black market weaponry. One of the men was Angus, second only to their head (who Hako’ib knew only as “Employer”). While Jin-Gul was a “competitor” to Switch,
When the gang members caught sight of the companions, the other two humans and the Wookiee were quick to each find a target. The Bothan had his hands full with a large portable computer, while Angus kept his weapon down for the moment.
“Tails!” Angus addressed Hako’ib. “Tails” was the man’s nickname for the Twi’lek. “Wasn’t expecting to find you here! Heard you were getting of the station.” He paused for a moment, catching sight of Switch, “So, it’s really true! The bucket-head’s really down for the count. Huh!”
Turning back to Hako’ib, Angus continued, “Well, you’ve created kind the power vacuum here, Tails! If you’re planning on going, I suggest now might be the best time.” Nodding at the mercenaries around him, he went on, “Me and the boys got some clean up to do. Thought maybe we’d start with a memory wipe of Switch after drain out every last byte of information. Then we figured we’d help clear out some of these containers, hey boys?”
The other men laughed gruffly, while the Wookiee merely spat on the ground.
“So, what’s it going to be, Tails?” Angus continued to press. “You and your girlfriends packed yet?”
[OOC: Alrighty! So… you’ve got company!
Angus, human male, carrying a heavy pistol with scope, no target yet.
Thug #1, human male, carrying a pistol with scope, target –Ithiria.
Thug#2, human male, carrying a pistol with scope, target – Karra.
Thug#3, wookiee male, carrying a heavy pistol with scope, target-Hako’ib.
Thug#4, bothan male, carrying a laptop, no target.
Angus also carries what looks like a vibro-sword across his back. Thugs 1 & 2 have daggers on their belts. The wookiee has a vibro-dagger. The bothan has a knife and a pistol at his hip.
You are not surprised. And you are all welcome to have your weapons drawn should this turn into combat.
No one has started firing yet, and Angus has suggested you have the option to leave right now to avoid a firefight.
So… there you go. Something for the three of you to deal with while Ara’s looting the Imperial Rep’s office. Enjoy!]

Subject: B&E against the Empire can get you killed...
Ara quickly drew out her security kit, while keeping an eye out for anyone who might interrupt her work. But there was none, only the steady stream of droids moving to and from the maintenance room across the hall.
The lock on the door was a card slider with a passcode number pad in case one forgot their card. The Arkanian was a little stiff in the trooper armor, and she fumbled a bit in attaching the jack cables into the bottom of the keypad before connecting them to her electronic tumbler. The display panel on the tumbler lit up and Ara ran the descrambler program with a touch of the button.
........... First Attempt - Fail!
Ara ran it again, looking anxiously over her shoulder for trouble that seemed to be lurking just around the corner.
........... Second Attempt - Successful!
Ara heard the lock make a faint --click-- sound as the descrambler entered the passcode into the number pad. Wasting no time, the Arkanian opened the door and shut it quickly yet quietly behind her.
Turning on the lights, her eyes scanned the room. It was a small, sparse space containing a work desk and chair along with a chair for guests. Each of the walls declared the glory of the Empire, with a large Imperial insignia prominently hung behind the desk.
On the desk lay a flat touch screen which was connected to a computer. A small plaque honoring Neilson for his dedication to the Empire was also displayed on the desk.
Stepping behind the desk, Ara found the desk also contained three drawers on the right-hand side, all locked by a simple cylinder lock pad. A couple of small duraplast containers sat in the corner of the room, behind the desk as well.
No security cameras seemed to be present.
[OOC: Alright, Ginafae! You used one force point in your efforts. So far so good... what do you want to do now? And where do you want to placethe detonite?]

You can post it IC or here if you like. I'm typing up a post for you guys right now. If you get your actions in beore I'm finished, I'll tied it into my post. Otherwise, I'll assume actions for your character. I don't think it will make that much difference in the end, but you never know.

Topic: Dawn of Defiance: The Traitor's Gambit
Subject: Tag Ginafae
Hako’ib, wily as he was, managed to avoid the attention of any Imperials while the Planetary Defense officers merely ignored him. It was a quiet ride down to Deck N14, and the corridors back to Switch’s lair were deserted, save for the dead pigs at the entrance of the storage bay.
Entering into the bay, the Twi’lek scoundrel quickly removed the trooper armor from the duraplast container and handed it to Ara’ala. “It should fit you. It fits me, and there’s hardly anything between us.”
The Arkanian, with the help of Hako’ib, got herself suited up. It was a little loose on her slim frame and, with the helmet locked in place, the air felt stale, reminding Ara of the air in the mines back home. The body odor of the previous owner, while not overbearing, still hung on the armor.
A quick check of the equipment revealed to Ara that while she could see through the helmet’s visor, none of the sensory upgrades were coming online. Even the integrated comm unit was disabled.
[OOC: The armor only provides a benefit to your REF saves. It also imposes a -2 penalty to Initiative checks and Attack Rolls]
The Arkanian mechanic moved with a little less grace than normal for her as she strapped on her equipment: Two heavy blasters in separate holsters hung on her belt, with four extra power packs in one of the pouches. Her security kit fit neatly in one of the pouches near the small of her back, while the brick of detonite and timer slid into a third pouch. That left one pouch available, with not much space at that. The tool kit would be too large, and even three stun grenades wouldn’t fit.
Finally, Ara decided on the mesh tape, her cred sticks, her lighter, and the last couple cigaras. The rest would fit in the shoulder pack should she decide to take the rest.
[OOC: Ginafae, if you want to take anything else, just let me know in the Q/A forum. It will have to be in a shoulder pack, but it’s up to you.]
Suited up, she gave one finally spin around for her companions to make any last checks on her disguise.
[OOC: If anyone thinks she needs something else before she goes, or wants to wish her luck, insert dialogue here… I’m moving forward.]
Ready to go, Ara stepped out of the storage bay and headed for the elevators. She found the one she was looking for and stepped in. The doors closed with a whish, while the Arkanian hastily punch in the sequence for Blue Deck, the “top” deck of the station. She held her breath, hoping it would be a quiet trip…
Luck seemed to be with her, as no one joined her at any point, and the turbolift whooshed past forty –two decks before coming to a stop at Blue Deck.
Stepping off the elevator, Ara felt as though she were stepping into a wholly different space station. The floors are polished and possess a metallic sheen. Maintenance and service droids flit about from one place to the next, keeping everything clean and ordered. Propaganda posters for Emperor Palpatine cover the walls and the insignia of the Empire is found almost everywhere the eye can see.
Immediately, Ara notes two stormtroopers are guarding the elevator area. However, they merely give the disguised Arkanian a nod, before going back to keeping watch. She notices that they seem to be examining everyone closely, but that they make no move to stop anyone from coming or going… at least not often.
Moving down towards the offices, she looks up the hallway towards the Loyalist Lounge and Lucky Stars. She sees a Bothan attempting to enter the Lounge, but he is turned back by the bouncer. Beyond the Bothan, Ara can notices only a few Twi’leks who seem to be slaves to the Imperial nobles near them, and a Trandoshan, who seems to be serving as a bodyguard.
Just before going down the hallway towards the offices, Ara notes that while there is a security camera present, it points towards the elevators and not down the hall. No camera seems present in the hallway containing the offices. Except for the constant traffic of the service droids in and out of the maintenance room, few people seem to use this hallway. The Arkanian takes a quick look to see if she can determine what each of the offices are for and is rewarded:
The first door declares the office belongs to Aril Tevv, Chief of Operations, Blue Deck, and the door is locked.
The second door declares the office belongs to Trent Horbin, Maintenance Supervisor, Blue Deck, and the door is unlocked.
The third door declares the office belongs to Krev Neilson, Imperial Relations Representative, Blue Deck, and the door is locked.
Ara notes that at the current time it is quite likely (though not guaranteed) that Aril and Krev are off duty for the “evening”.
[OOC: Alright, Ginafae, let me know which door you want to go with. So far, Ara’s been away from the rest of the group fifteen minutes.
OOC: For the rest of you, stay tuned… I may need some posts from you as well soon.  ]

Topic: SW: Dawn of Defiance Q/A
Subject: Alright...
I got Ara going up in ST armor alone, looking for a place to put the explosive. If it looks good, she place it and return. If not, she'll just return.
When she returns, all four of you are going up in two separate elevators: Ara and Karra in one, posing as stormtrooper escorting prisoner; and Hako'ib and Ithiria posing as slaver bringing slave dancer for entertainment at the BluRay.
We'll play it like that. I'll post tomorrow for Ara's explosive adventure, and hopefully by Thursday we can move all four of you along.
Thanks for your patience everyone!

Topic: A Local Legend - Q/A
Subject: Interesting turn of events!?!
Maybe Driscoll will get his epic finish yet?!
The sea-druid's latest reply was completely not what I expected. "Yeah, I got some water-breathin' potions right here... but I'm neutral." 
Not sure if killing the God of the Currents is our solution either. If the bloke's able to put the thumb-screws on Cardista to stop her from meddling, surely he will notice us coming and destroy us long before we even come close.
I think we're still missing/overlooking something, and that this syl-druid-thingie is somehow more involved in the big picture.
1) The lizard wizard said something that stood out to me... "He isss lisstening." Who is "he"? The God of the Currents? If so, why is the sea-druid not afraid of being overheard?
2) If this sea-druid is so neutral, why is he watching over this well, the man-lizards and the villagers? I still don't get this.
Anyway... just some of my thoughts. DM? Brianna? Any ideas or thoughts about this riddle?

Subject: Reply.
“That all you lookin’ for?”
There was a hint of mischief on the Twi’lek’s face and By’u thought maybe she was finally going to get somewhere with Hako’ib.
“I’m going to cause a bit of trouble on Blue Deck,” came the Twi’lek’s reply.
Hmm… not really what I thought he was going to say, the human mechanic thought to herself. Twi’leks… so hard to read…
“Uh-huh,” was the only sound that came out of her mouth though.
“I’m heading to Alderaan,” Hako’ib continued. “Ganga Lor attacked us and Switch got disabled. Could you do what you can for him? I can’t pay you now, but when I get to Alderaan, I promise I’ll send some credits your way.”
Interesting, thought By’u, as she continued to keep a star-struck look on her face. “Sure thing, babe,” she said as she pushed herself away from the desk. “I’ll get the suit. Delco will meet you in the front with it.”
Stepping out of the room, she gave a call to her Viper unit, “Del, come here and give me a hand, would ya?”
As Hako’ib moved back to the front workshop, he could hear some rifling of containers in the back room. After a few minutes, the Viper unit hovered up to the Twi’lek with a duraplast container in its appendages. It handed the container to Hako’ib, and then left for the back room again.
On the container there was a hand written note: “Keep safe, babe. B.”

Subject: Liberty and Loot...
Regarding my post: I'm just RPing quickly Hako'ib's acquistion on the ST armor, and then will move forward with the rest of you. Loki, here's your big chance... Please don't take any liberties past answering her question. 
This will also give Ginafae some time to confirm that Ara is indeed going alone to Blue Deck to install some "boom-boom-pow" before the rest of you join Ara (which is what I read in Reralae's post back a page). As well as let her decide how many brick's she wants to take up and which office she'd like to start with.
I'll say it now: sorry I'm beingso nit-picky about details right now. Normally, I could care less. But this next scenerio (as I understand your plan) has so many random possibilities of interactions with people, I just want to make sure I understand your wishes before I post something like "Ara tests the first door... it's unlocked so she enters in, only to find it occupied..." and Ginafae comes back with, "Hey! I didn't want to go into the first office, I wanted the third one."
Just sayin'...
There may be a lot of quick pauses in this next scenerio so I can double check info from you folks.
Anyway... sorry in advance.

Topic: Dawn of Defiance: The Traitor's Gambit
Subject: Getting the armor...
Having made some plans, the ragtag group waited for Hako’ib to retrieve a set of stormtrooper armor. The Twi’lek wasted no time and decided to go it alone. He quickly made his way to the main elevators and headed up to the Promenade. The only interruption to his quiet elevator ride was from a group of four humans, pilots Hako'ib guessed by their flight suits. The men were rowdy and course though, beyond their general sneers and looks of disgust, they left the Twi’lek untouched and got off at Deck N2, two floors before Hako’ib.
When the doors opened to the Promenade, Switch’s right-hand man took the direct route to Mechanical Allies, the droid repair shop owned by By’u, a human female whom Hako’ib has had regular contact over the two years. Hako’ib knows the woman is as loose as a bantha cow in heat, and By’u has made more than one advance towards the Twi’lek.
Still, By’u is one of the best mechanics on the Sel Zonn, and she has no love for the Empire. The mechanic has been holding the trooper armor for Hako’ib for about three weeks as a favor for the Twi’lek for tossing her some high paying business earlier.
Hako’ib enters the droid shop and, as usual, finds By’u tinkering with a protocol droid, her modified Viper-series droid assisting her. How she managed to keep a Viper, much less get her hands on one, Hako’ib has never found out. The Viper whirls and beeps at By’u as the Twi’lek enters the shop.
“Easy, Delco,” B’yu pats the droid as she stands up. She greets Hako’ib, “Hey, baby! Something I can help ya with?” she says while she gives the Twi’lek an appraising, coy look.
“I need to speak with you in private, By’u,” replies Hako’ib.
“Oh! You are naughty, baby! Rawr!” By’u says with a little tiger claw action. Turning to her office, she leads the way, while calling back to Delco, “Keep an eye on things, Del. Oh, and buff out the blast marks on the CP’s shoulder and lower back and that should do it. We might be a bit,” she said with a smile, “so done feel like ya have to rush.”
Once By’u has Hako’ib in her office, she props herself on her desk. “So,” she asks, pushing out her chest a bit. “Whatcha lookin’ for?”
“I need to have back my armor… the suit you said you’d keep safe for me.”
“Uh-huh,” By’u leaning in a little more into Hako’ib’s space. “That all you lookin’ for?”
[OOC: Here you go, Loki... a little RP action for ya. You're more than welcome to stick to the script you posted earlier, and not get side tracked by By'u. Simply post your response and I'll go from there.]

Subject: More notes questions:
REGARDING LOOT:
1) I'm assuming you distributed the credits evenly amongst you at 80 creds a piece. Correct me if I'm wrong.
2) I've got Ara down for a heavy pistol, 3 stun grenades, and a brick of detonite (w/ timer)... plus the ST armor. Anyone else grabbing anything? Still a few frag grenades, some bricks of detonite, carbines, pistols (regular or heavy), medpacs, assorted vibro-weapons, etc... you can look back to page 9 for a full listing.

Topic: SW: Dawn of Defiance Q/A
Subject: I'm about to post...
Just wanted to confirm: ARA is going up to the Blue Deck ALONE in the ST ARMOR using one of the MAIN elevators to plant a bomb in one of the offices. Yes?
Any office in particular? An unlocked one? One without anyone inside of it?
Just checking.
Some more notes:
1) Reralae, I can make that change to your character sheet, moving the points from Gather Information to Computer Use. Though, it will be the last modification I make to the character. I will also correct the BAB.
2) It will take a bare minimum of 10 minutes to take the elevator up to Blue Deck and 10 minutes to return. Assuming all goes well for Ara, it will take her roughly 25-30 minutes to plant the explosive and return to Switch's lair... assuming all goes well... :HALO:
3) Just noting this... wearing ST ARMOR will affect some of Ara's skills and her Attack Roll with a -2 penalty. Just noting it. :HALO:
I'm going to update character sheets and then post.
Enjoy!

Subject: Time for decisions...
The time here is 1:45 PM. Deadline is 5 PM. Give you about 3 hours.
So far, I still understand your plan as Hako'ib and Ithiria going up as entertainment for the BluRay, and Ara (in ST armor) escorting Karra under the pretense of her being a prisoner.
Some more notes:
Karra's "search her feelings" check reveals no immediate danger. (though, it will likely take you a good 10 minutes to get up to the Blue Deck)
Ara, after seeing the plans for Blue Deck, notes that most walls will require 2 bricks of denonite to breach them. However, the walls attached to the security station and the hanger will require at least 4 bricks.
Enjoy!

Topic: SW: Dawn of Defiance Q/A
Subject: Some more information
The dark grey are the walls
The light grey are doors
The brown circles are tables
The green-ish squares in the Lucky Stars are slot machines
The orange-ish color represents a number of different things:
In the jail, it represents a barrier/front desk and jail cell doors
In the BluRay, its the stage
In the Loyalist Lounge, its a stage
================================
The following information is stuff that Hako'ib knows about Blue Deck:
1) The Blue Deck is a loyalist deck; pretty much everyone up there are diehard fans of the Empire.
2) The Lucky Stars has a strong security team/ surveillence, and there is a coat/weapons check as you first enter.
3) The room behind the Lucky Star contains a safe.
4) The Loyalist Lounge has great jazz bands.
5) There are surveillence cameras located through-out the deck.
A couple other things to keep in mind, in case you missed the memo:
a. Use force powers at your own risk. The empire has its agents scouring the galaxy for any force-users, especially Jedi... and not to invite them to the Emperor's birthday party.
b. Carrying heavy weaponry (anything past a heavy pistol or a vibro dagger) can get you imprisoned.
If you can have a final plan ready by tomorrow afternoon (5 PM EST), that would be super for me.
Looks like you have something brewing!  Looking forward to what the Blue Deck will bring!

Subject: Back
Alright... I'm back.
I've sent you all a map of the Blue Deck. 3 MB file {eep!} Hope you all receive it!
Hopefully this will help you all in executing a plan to retreive the package.
As a side note, I have not probably with players posting OOC plans to the Q/A board that their IC character might not think of themselves. Some might see this as meta-gaming... I don't... so feel free to do it. IC, you as the player will still need to come up with a valid reason for your character's actions.
Anyway, here's your characters' plan as I understand it so far:
1) Hako'ib is going to get the stormtrooper armor from his contact and bring it back to Switch's lair. The rest of the party is planning on hanging out until his return. (?)
2) IF he returns successfully, Ara will don the armor and Karra will pretend to be her prisoner, while Hako'ib will pretend to be bringing Ithiria to the BluRay as some new, exotic entertainment.
A question, now that you have a map:Is your intent to go straight up one of the main elevators? Together? Separate?
Please let me know if I have the info correct, or if there are any changes to be made. I have the next two days off and hope to post before Sunday AM.
Thanks!

You say: If you ain't got no money take your broke a## home
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S
We flying the first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' the life
In the fast lane…”
The music came blaring out of the cockpit’s speakers, while William’s eyes glanced across the ship’s console, checking the long range scanner for the probably the hundredth time in ten minutes, while his left hand drummed out the beat of the music on his upper thigh. His right hand rested firmly on the fighter’s joystick, steady and sure.
The hopper was about two days out from Ganymede, and was looking forward to this job to be done. It wasn’t that he didn’t like flying escort for haulers… he loved it. And this current freelance outfit, the flying foxes, was just the kind of employer William had been looking for: good ships and good pay… It doesn’t get much better than that.
But William had been in this job long enough to know when a hauler wasn’t being honest about his cargo. Two pirate gangs, and a “jealous” rival hauler already… whatever. Nobody get jealous over sheets of durasteel…
The voice of William’s Europan wingman came through his headset on their private channel, “Not our place to ask questions, Billy.”
“Get out of my head, Dolph,” retorted Billy. “You know it’s bull#### as much as I do… probably more so.”
“Still,” came Floyd’s reply, “sometimes it’s better to just leave it.”
Whatever, Floyd. William turned up the music a bit louder and let his mind get lost in the vastness of the Big Empty.
Billy! Floyd’s urgent voice penetrated his mind. William looked across his scanner. Sure enough, it was lit up with three ships. “Yeah, I see ‘em,” the pilot acknowledged to his wingman. “I count three: a couple of fighters and an Escort… Coalition?”
“Four, actually,” replied Floyd. “We got a Corvette behind the large asteroid. And, yes, Coalition. They’re waiting for us, but I don’t think we’re on their scanners yet.”
“You and I got the Corvette,” said William before hitting his comm and switching it to hauler’s channel. “We got company, Duran. Looks like Coalition.”
“D@mn!” came the hauler’s voice.
“Seems everyone and their dog wants a bit of durasteel,” added Billy.
“What’s the plan, Billy?” replied Duran.
The pilot was already picking out a track to provide the background music for the fight. “You and Bravo wing keep on course. Jared, as those b@st@rds come into range, feel free to let them have it.”
“You got it, Billy,” replied Jared, the wing leader for Bravo. “Adan and I got ‘em.”
“Watch out for the Escort. Looks like it’s fully loaded.”
“Understood, Billy.”
“What are you doing?” questioned Duran suspiciously.
Billy got ready to punch it. “Listen, Duran. I don’t ask about what you’re haulin’, you don’t ask me about my tactics. We’ll come up their back side.” Before the hauler could respond, Billy had pushed the thrusters to full throttle.
“You cocky son of a…”
But Billy had already turned up his music again…
“I like that boom boom pow
Them chickens jackin' my style
They tryna copy my swagger
I'm on that next shit now
I'm so 3008
You so 2000 and late
I got that boom, boom, boom
That future boom, boom, boom
Let me get it now
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Boom boom boom, now
Boom boom boom, now
Boom boom pow
Boom boom pow”

Subject: WAIT!
Driscoll had been at a loss after the sea-druid had scoffed at his accusation. Apparently, so were Cole's companions, for no one said anything.
Not seeing a point in standing around in the uncomfortable silence, Blbaobabl was the first to make a move.
"If you'll excuse me now, I have other business to attend to. The Sea is full of turmoil. I just wanted to make sure you thought again before doing anything that will endanger many lives."
"Wait," called out Driscoll, before he softened his tone. "Please, wait. If you're not Gubulondil, then I b' owin' y' 'n apology. And we would still like t' ask y' a few questions... t' help solve th' riddle here, right."
Looking into the sea-druid's eyes, the swashbuckler continued, "Now, as I was sayin', we b' neither for or 'gainst th' sea, nor b' we for or 'gainst th' villagers. We merely b' seekin' resolution for all, right."
"Y' speak of disaster hangin' over th' heads o' th' villagers should th' lizard-men fail. What is this disaster? And how shall it come t' pass should the balance b' upset? Who or what shall bring 'bout this disaster?"

Topic: SW: Dawn of Defiance Q/A
Subject: Off again...
Sorry gang,
I'm off again until Sept 9. I'll look to have an update then.
I don't want to put you on the blue deck until you've got a plan in mind. Otherwise, things might get ugly quick (considering the whole anti-alien climate up there and all).
Anyway, here's some information for you to help in your planning:
1) Hako'ib has been on Blue Deck before. Switch has a contact up there by the name of Answar Hildon, human male, owner of the BluRay Cantina. The cantina specializes in exotic entertainment, which Switch would provide to Answar.
2) Hako'ib also is able to get his hands on one suit of Storm Trooper Armor. The only person able to wear the complete suit with helmet is Ara'ala. Both Twi'lek could wear the suit without the helmet. The suit is located at the Droid Workshop on the Promanade.
3) The anti-alien climate of Blue Deck is more hot than the rest of the Station combined.
Please provide me with a plan of how you want to proceed from here, either as OOC posts here on the Q&A, or in character on the game thread.
Thanks!
Ayrn

Subject: Well... it would have made for a good story...
Sorry, Brianna and DM. My guess was wrong... would have been an epic finish though... just saying...
Anyway, I'm away until Sept 8. I'm not sure what to ask him yet. Maybe... "What's the worse this long dead god can do?" or "Why you hanging around here then?" ... and don't take any "Ah, just going for a stroll" garbage.
This "syl" has something to do with the big picture. He ain't natural-like. And he's watching over things here. Why?
Argh! Blast you, Almerin and your brain-cramping riddles!
