Target Practice

by Aerena 'Relentless' Kolene

Sabine is concentrating on keeping Kal alive and answers Dizzy about the cause of the collapse of the BloodSmith pirates. We search the area to see if we can find something to keep Kal alive even when Sabine disconnects from him. While Vanya gives me the history of Almon'D Joy's interaction with the group. I find a couple of large ship batteries and bring them over to the group for Vanya to use. Sabine helps her to hook it up so that no one dies. Once they turn it on, the ionic energy bleeds off and then he collapses. Sabine assures us that he is alive and will be okay once he has some rest. Vanya has concerns about what he might automatically upload to his network, and Sabine concurs that there is a risk. She has transferred his communication network over to her sub-system for the time being. Vanya has an idea and walks across the warehouse to the BoneJackers. She pulls me in to attempt to translate and we MAYBE manage to get them to disable the upload/download capability. Sabine checks and says it is good.
 
Then the warehouse shakes and we hear explosions. I suddenly remember that So'Zen isn't with us. Vanya and I look at it other and shake our heads. Our quick plan is to find transportation and a communication device to talk to Grakkas the Hutt and see if we can use his private network to do a data burst to Simon Tam. I walk to the BloodSmith pirates ship with the Bone Jackers to see if there are any swoops or something else to get his out of here. When we open one of the bays, I find five brand new armored swoops - just enough for us! I wheel them down the ramp to the warehouse floor and am super excited, but Vanya wants to know which government truck they fell off of.
 
I ask Spook to check them and she responds with Custom made for Adeptas Sororitas Commandos, Commandos called the Dark Brigade, Sisters of the Dark Rose. Vanya is not happy about that but thinks we can totally use these but doesn't recommend getting attached. I start strapping Spook onto my ride for the next adventure when we get a text from Danar about what So'Zen is up to. We start gearing up to go to the rescue while Vanya tells them how to avoid the Battle Sisters. I make a quick plan to hit the warehouse from the side, back, top, and front at the same time with shields up. Vanya sets up her Jedi things and can communicate with So'Zen to have him drop as we enter the warehouse. I enter the warehouse from the front and take a shot at an egg crate. The shots go wild since there is shielding. Then Vanya is hollering that we need to save the eggs and the creatures and take out the pirates. Oh! and not to shoot So'Zen.
 
Turns out I was the only one to enter the warehouse so I am the center of attention of everyone so I turn in a tight circle and fire several times. I hope I manage to create enough of a distraction to allow the others to drop in and ambush these guys. Two of the guys fire back at me and I hightail it behind a crate - which just happens to have a biohazard seal on it. I ask Spook to scan the crate and she discovers that it is holding a specialized ionized gas that will neutralize blaster fire. I hope that the pirates know this and won't fire at me and I attempt to hit the last power suit standing. I miss and the shot ricochets. Then they fire at me and attempt to spin a web of ionization to hurt Spook. I ask her what she wants to do and she pops out her arc welder. I say okay and prepare to do a quick swoop by so she can have her revenge.
 
She falls off the bike onto the raider and attacks him with her arc welder and he retaliates by hitting her with his gun. I have to save the situation - or at least Spook. Then I hear Vanya in the background saying "Shoot him! Shot him now!" I take a shot, but it doesn't hit the intended target. So I turn back and fire at the one attacking So'Zen and knock him out. The fight is over and we load up everything: ship, bikes, critters, eggs, gas, and people.
