Satunda, 18 Helona 12731

Ianar Berav

by Aerena 'Relentless' Kolene

I pet the creature and encourage it to head butt the pirate into the wall. The pirate appears confused, but the creature does head butt him - lightly. I groan, but then the creature turns to me and head butts me! This is more of a gentle interrogative butt asking for more petting so I try to encourage him again to knock the pirate into the wall. That doesn't look like it will work, so I decide to take advantage of the distraction presented by the creature's appearance instead and grab the pirate myself and knock him into the wall - and unconsciousness! I hear a faint tickle from my conscious that has the voice of So'Zen telling me that this is not the way to teach possibly dangerous creatures proper behavior, but I ignore that and check on the last pirate in the room. He has moved farther away so I have time to check on what is on the other side of these rocks.
 
I push and pull and manage to make me a narrow place to slide through to the room I can see on the other side. I find a crawlspace with strung cables. It does appear to be a starship of some kind, but it is not known to me. I can crawl through and there are the expected support braces that look octagonal, and I can see where cables and wires have been added to make a stable power connections. I see a ladder going up to the east, the tunnel continues to the north. I climb up the ladder and go through a hatch to find myself outside and on the western side of the base. Obviously, I have gotten turned around while underground which never happens in space. I head back down and hesitate a moment while deciding if I should take the tunnel to the north (probably south and will put me in the center of the base outside!). I determine to wait to do that after I share my findings with the rest of the team. I quickly set the scene with my two pirate friends to look like they have gotten into an argument and knocked each other senseless and then head back to the door. I need to check on Spook!
 
I am almost to the door when I hear the comm from the last pirate in the room go off and I can hear the alarms from across the room. He yells at me to stop and fires a quick blast at me. I drop to the floor and the blast goes just over my head. I attempt to return fire, but he rolls to the south and gets behind the big central column. I take that as my opportunity to dive through the door. I find Spook just outside with the pirate all wrapped up in cables, gagged, and stunned with Spook checking out his cred stick. I tell her to make sure she transfers my share, and she drops what she is holding and turns around in shock. She attempts to act innocent, but I do know better. I ask her for a status check on the rest of the crew and she starts leading the way.
 
I get a text message from Reece: Pirate running up behind you. Many pirates and one Bounty Hunter ahead of you behind the door. I send an acknowledgement and turn back to get into an ambush position as I am sure he will check on his buddy there. He enters the hallway and just stops. We wait for our moment of action and then he draws, but so quickly that I can't tell how and then he shoots at a door frame. I have a split second to wonder why when it bounces straight at me. I step aside and it hits Spook's dome and shoots straight up and then back down to my shoulder and stuns me so that I fall to the floor. I can hear him walking into the hallway and he mutters to the pirate that he is ashamed of him for getting caught by a droid. Then he begins to talk to me about who I am and what I am doing in the universe. He sees my Medusa patch - after he had deduced I had been with some pirate clan and my Alliance military training. He also knew that I was a pilot. Then he offers to train me - as he is certain I will walk out of this current situation alive. He tells me that he is Ianar Berav and is part of a select group that is known for special skills with the pistol. Then he slides me a communication chip and tells me to contact him when I am ready and just walks off.
 
Spook threatens to go after him and gut him, but I tell her that we need to bide our time and she comes back to help me stand up. We check the rooms to the south and the north and find nothing of significance, so I have to head west towards the room where I know that I am outnumbered.
