High Low

by Aerena 'Relentless' Kolene

I stand up and fire at the guy closest to Vanya since the other two bad guys are beside thermal det containers. I hit him and he bounces back against the door, but something weird happens with his vest. It is like the shot melts on the vest and then falls off. I tell Spook that vest is mine - if we manage to live and walk out with any loot. Then I see a droid walk over to So' Zen on the floor - and use at least two hypodermics on him. He pops up ready to go and then the droid opens, and Bishop comes out. So' Zen appears happy, but then he gets back to work and suddenly a blaster is sliding across the floor to me.
 
Bishop trundles over to me and his head lifts and out comes - Omatron in battle mode! Seems that Bishop and Omicron has been making modifications. I put my attention back on the fight and see that same sharpshooter that has been causing me so much anguish over beside a crate. I step over a few steps and snap two quick shots off. He manages to dodge the first one, but the second one is going to hit - until he jumps on top of the crate in a single jump. He has a LOT of toys that need a transfer of ownership!
 
Then over my head goes Omatron with Reese on his back and they head for the same sharpshooter. They collide with him and Omatron is "giving him a hug". They land on top of water barrels and the water is going everywhere. Then So' Zen and Vanya start talking.................................so everyone is now at least neutral if not actively on our side. I get an offer of a minion, but he refuses. He wants to stay with the Jedi - jokes on him as there will not be any 'fun' with her. Then the evil computer voice announces that we have less than two minutes before the base explodes. I check my shield quickly, but it is fried, and I will need parts. I am sure that Spook will have what I need. Then Reese does something with a computer and we have thirty seconds.............he tries again quickly, and it is paused. Paused. I suggest that we actually turn it off but get no response.
 
Time to actually do what we came here to do - rescue the farmers. The Jedi take a moment to do their fight prep and I go over to help that sharpshooter out of his toys. His wrist brace that shoots mini missiles is now mine and I also discover a barabel mircobe armor vest incorporated with his jacket. Based upon what I remember, this is not good in extremely freezing weather, but I still have my trusty old blast vest for that. This will need to become my regular wear. The bracer has two buttons, and I am not positive about what button does what. I will wait until I am outside in the clear to make sure that I don't break anything important - ceilings, Jedi, droids, me, etc.
 
With that done, I get Spook to follow as we all head south to where the farmers are. We enter the room and there is a Devaronian who is waiting for us. He dances with the Jedi and when the bounty hunter and I take shots (high and low at same time), he pulls a broom out and knocks the shots aside. The Jedi start applauding and asking for lessons! Then they start talking like they always do and the battle is over and the farmers are working on the plan. I go to the south of the room and check the door on the west. No action and then it is time for the farmers to head home. They all follow So' Zen to a ship that Davish liberated, and they head out. Vanya heads me a few new weapons from the unconscious guard and we all head to the hanger bay and determine who is riding where and who flies what.
 
Spook mentions that she has been monitoring the various boxes of explosives and weapons. It turns out that the damaged weapons were to be sent to the Chancellor. I request her to 'switch' the transponder codes so that the modified weapons went to the Tilles clan and their allies. In exchange, she is going to get a nice long soak in some fragrant hot oil. We make it back to Port Etmar safely and are met by Vanya's troopers and lots of news - most of it bad. Vanya asks if we are willing to do a rescue mission with lots of violence with little chance of reward. JEDI! We agree and head out for hot baths, hot food, and to see if I can find some entertainment to relax before we meet in 45 minutes.
