IC: Gorrk
Arnthout (Northside), Tatooine
The group could pause in the street for only a moment before the Tuskens opened fire on their position. The police, with their longer legs and superior experience, ran for cover; while Gorrk hit the deck and covered his head with his hands as shots streaked over his back.
“Gorrk! Move! We’ll cover you!” Yade shouted from his position, back across the street where they had started. It occurred to him as he lifted his head, that it was the first time the man had ever used his proper name. Peering back with odd appreciation, he made a decision.
Swallowing his fear, the Ugnaught pumped strength into his legs and arms. He rose, as if in slow motion. Cycler shots and blaster bolts whizzed by him with uncomfortable closeness as he moved, running to the opposite side of the street where a blue-skinned Duros watched him approach. He stumbled as his right shoulder jerked, and a pinch of pain ran through the appendage. The last few steps to the other side of the street he took mid-fall.
Crashing to the ground at the feet of the Duros he gasped air. “Lieutenant Barad… and Captain… across street… two wounded – low ammo… need help.” He grit his teeth against the burning pain blossoming in his shoulder, but continued. “Survivors in police station… basement… Tusken’s… thermal dets…” Finishing his ‘report’ he rolled onto his back, clutched his shoulder and closed his eyes, hoping that unconsciousness would take him soon.

IC: Cpt. Dexter Banai, Lt. Yade Barad, Cpl. “Dusty” Stile, OFC Bien “Bean Juice” Jullib, OFC Davner Wahl
Arnthout (Northside), Tatooine
“Frak!” Yade cursed as the blaster bolt grazed Gorrk’s shoulder. The man went to move but was immediately restrained.
“Whoa, now… easy,” said Dusty, holding the Corellian by his shoulders. “He made it. Right now he’s doing better than us, yeah? Goin’ out there’s gonna do nothin’ but get you killed.”
Yade sighed, peeking out at the position of the new arrivals then ducking his head back in. Their ship roared overhead, turning for another elliptical strafe of the combat zone. “Yeah,” he muttered, “I know. It’s my fault he’s here though, you know? He was right… he’s no fighter.”
“Feeling guilty for ‘deputizing’ him?” the unshaven man grinned.
“How did you—?”
“Trell. I asked where ya’ were when I got back to the station. When I heard you’d illegally deputized an Ugnaught and gone to save the Cap’n, I knew I’d hate myself forever if I couldn’t say I saw it with my own eyes.” He chuckled. “You didn’t disappoint.”
“Glad I could amuse you,” the lieutenant grumbled. His expression changed when he saw his captain leaning over the body of his comrade. “Captain… how’s Dav?”
Banai looked at him with sad eyes. “He’s out. I… don’t think he has very long. I’m starting to think I should have left that chunk of rock in him… his bleeding isn’t stopping.”
Yade felt desperation course through him. Davner was a good officer; young, recently married and had a bright future ahead of him. He was going to die if they couldn’t get that ship back down here.
The feeling intensified as he looked at Bien. The little alien, though in agony, was holding up fairly well. His ears weren’t bleeding anymore at least. His face looked as if he had his pain under tight control, but the look in his eyes was all fierce determination.
Maybe it was because he was slowly losing control of the situation, but Yade was slowly losing his grip on his emotions as well. Blasted mercenaries… taking off before helping anyone nearby, launching a concussion missile, and not breaking cover at all to help Gorrk. Yade’s grip tightened around his blaster.
“Dusty.”
“Yeah boss?”
“We can’t rely on those mercs over there to help us – they’re in this for their wallets. We need to come up with our own plan.”
Dusty nodded in agreement. “They don’t seem the most competent lot. What did you have in mind? That ship’s shooting just about everything that moves out there.”
Yade smiled. “Exactly. The Tuskens will be taking cover and worrying about the ship now. All we need to do is follow it out on one of its strafes.”
Looking thoughtful, Dusty wiped the back of his hand across his sweaty forehead. “Pretty big risk there boss, ‘specially since I think you mean for us to run through the open.”
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained,” the Corellian shrugged, taking another peak at the merc position.
“Alright then,” Dusty agreed and checked the powerpack on his rifle. “What do we do once we make it down there though?”
“I’m not really planning on doing a lot, just shifting the battlefront a bit.”
The unshaven man looked confused for a moment, before his eyes lit up in realization. “You sneak. Gonna force the merc’s hands, yeah?”
Yade just smiled, listening for the ship to make its way around again. “Just follow me…”

IC: Captain Jav Boran
Arnthout (northside)-Tatooine
Listening to the Ugnaught as he tried to force out his words over the pain, Jav quickly committed it all to memory before the small creature began to fade into unconsciousness. If there was anything Duros could do as well as piloting, it was storing away information for later use. He glanced at Zem and then nodded. “Well, at least we know something now. Erik, see if you can do something for our friend here.”
Jav poked his head around the corner again. The gunshots had stopped temporarily as all targets were out of sight. Reaching to his belt, he retrieved his comm. without looking down, keeping his eyes on the southern end of the city. “Kraid, this is Jav. We’ve received word from a survivor down here that their people are holed up in the police station so make sure no one gets close to it…at least as far as the Tuskens are concerned, and try to keep out of their reach. Our man here says they have Thermal Dets.”
After replacing the handheld device, the Duros Captain glanced back at his people. “You all wait here. I’m going to go try to talk to the Officers across the way. You’re in charge, Zem, until I get back.”
Surveying the opposite street side, he spied the building behind which the Police Officers had taken refuge behind. Unlike the building he and his group were behind, the opposite building was not straight, but at an angle so that the front of it faced where they were hiding. This meant the Officers were just out of sight where they were. With a deep breath, Jav braced himself and, when he felt he could wait no longer, took off into the street. As soon as he did, the shots begen to ring out again throughout the street and in a way he could almost feel them as they buzzed around him, coming within short distance of hitting him. When his goal was nearly in reach, he pushed his body beyond mere physicality, becoming a blur of speed for a short distance before diving behind the building, much to the surprise of the waiting officers. His lungs burned at the exertion and it took him a second before he could stand up, his eyes traveling down to the bottom of his leather jacket and several fresh bullet holes that had been drilled into it. “Ahhh, damn it…”

Kraid Tynne
bridge, Fool's Gamble
"Believe me, Rylee," replied Kraid, "I don't trust those cops one bit. That's why I'm saving our torpedoes and the rest of the missiles."
“Kraid, this is Jav. We’ve received word from a survivor down here that their people are holed up in the police station so make sure no one gets close to it…at least as far as the Tuskens are concerned, and try to keep out of their reach. Our man here says they have Thermal Dets.”
"Police station? Where?" Kraid started scanning the town below him. "I sure as kriff can't tell what's what down there. Rylee, see if the maps or anything can tell us where it is."
Kraid leveled out the Gamble from its orbit and headed out east, accelerating in speed. "Turrets, we're gonna do some strafing runs. We're gonna go high, dive in steep and fast. You guys start picking out Tuskens, we already got a good idea where they are. Don't hit buildings unless you saw Tuskens in them previously."
With that, Kraid punched the throttle and pulled the ship into a steep climb, leveling off at 2,000 meters and heading back west towards the town.
"Here we go! Hang on, we're going fast and steep!"
The ship plunged into a 40 degree dive right on the point where the concussion missile was launched.
"Open fire whenever you get a good view!"

OOC: Well, it would seem about 3/4ths of our players are currently busy and unable to post.
Can I get a rollcall of who all is still here?
I know China is busy with work and school, Mitth is bogged down with college, Shinrai is having some difficulties at home and Angel is just about always busy with school. Who else do we have?

Well, at least there's you two and BobaMatt is still with us...
If it turns out to be just the four of us, I may have to make some major decisions on how this game is going to go because I know that all of the others still want to play but are just too busy. Anyway, stay tuned for further developments and anyone who hasn't checked in yet speak up!

OOC: Alright, folks...I got ahold of Sinre and he's out for the time being as he's sick and I haven't heard back from Dingo yet so that leaves us with... four active players, one of which has yet to be introduced.
I'd like your opinions. Do you think we should procede with what we have or put the game on hold until more people return. Shinrai is still having difficulties but things still seem a little hectic, so unless he can make it back, I'll be controlling every character on the ground, sending this game into the realm of fan fiction and leaving all active characters up on the ship.
Thus, with all that said and done, what do you suggest we do, people?

OOC: Ah! I'm still here, I swear! OMG, we are moving at the end of the month to a new apartment and now that everything at work is beginning to flow better and the move will allow us to stay in one place for a long time, I'll be more apt to posting. I do have school between March and May, but it's only two days a week and it's Economics, which is fairly easy for me. Sooooooooo........yeah.

Sounds good. I thought you were overly busy with school and work, so I was absconding you for the time being, but if you can post eventually, by all means do! ;-)

I think we should proceed. Guess it'd be a skeleton crew but those of us active can at least come up with something interesting.
