Sharing many of the organic lines that form the hull, many of the duty stations are set into sculpted panels. A large viewscreen takes up most of the forward walls, set into the white walls. Key stations such as navigation populate the center of the room; behind them is the command chair, capable of limited movement within the room. Towards the aft of the room, a massive archway allows passage into and out of this room. Near it, on the port side, a smaller door leads into the commander's ready room. -=-=-=-=-=-=<>=-=-=-=-=-=- => Lieutenant Thierdon => Adian => Kelvis => Danny => Dauthus => Arands => Operations Officer => Transponder Database => Communications Officer => NavComp -=-=-=-=-=<>=-=-=-=-=-

ort leads to Ready Room -- NRSC Deliverance. ft leads to Command Corridor -- NRSC Deliverance. Doing set. Dauthus says, "Rictor's going to NPC as a bridge officer, so I'm waiting for him to get here" Dauthus says, "Cyn!!! We're logging RP on the bridge, get ready to move." Kelvis steps into the bridge, muttering darkly about pulling bridge duty, prefering to be down on the flight deck, head in a access panel, but he stops at the engineering console, to monitor the repair crews. Rictor enters from the command corridor. Rictor enters Bridge -- NRSC Deliverance Lieutenant Thierdon assumes his position at Sensor Control. He glances over the shoulders of the two Ensigns seated there and monitors the readouts carefully. Danny steps in from among the doors. He'd recieved a memo about something happening today, was given a time, and obediently followed the orders. And here he is, he would expect this to be a briefing of some sort, and naturally, he seems to be here, ready for buisness. He seems a bit jovial, having been off the active list for a few weeks with a cold. He had told the doctors he was fine, but doctors being doctors, they ignored him and put him out. He spent a few days in bacta, and then a few in rehab, so a mission, of any sort, is a welcome one to him. He glances about the bridge, smiling slightly, "Haven't been up here in a while," he comments to himself. Cyn enters the bridge, looking left and right for the Duty Officer and her assignment for today... She salutes the nearest officers at hand before contiuing her search. Arands steps away from the front transparsteel viewport as he catches sight of the arriving bridge officers. Nodding respectfully as he sees Dauthus, he catches sight of Cyn as she arrives as well. Cyn salutes Arands respectfully, eyes moving tween he and Dauthus. Kelvis presses several buttons on his console, basically ignoring everyone else on the bridge. He speaks into a comlink, hears the reply and nods, apparently pleased. Rictor is stopped on his way in by the security officer by the lift, but quickly explains himself. The officer listens a moment, nodding a few times, then points over to where the deck officers are standing. Rictor smiles warmly with a nod of appreciation, and continues over to where a group of officers stand. Nervously, he looks at them as he's somewhat ignored, interjecting a, "Um, hello there, sirs. Can you help me, er, or rather, can I help you?" A hissing sound from the port side of the bridge alerts everyone present to the Commodore's arrival. As the Sullustan steps out to the center of the bridge, he pans his eyes around the room, seeing a full crew on duty, along with several pilots and techs. Dauthus smiles, inhales deeply and begins, "Well. I'm glad we could all make it tonight. I'm sure you've all heard rumors about what we're about to do." His eyes dart back and forth as he smirks, "I know you have, because I've heard the rumors myself." The captain of the ship is always last to hear about rumors. "I want you to forget all those rumors, and listen carefully. We'll be getting underway shortly." Adian stands near a communications officer, monitoring, or perhaps, leading a conversation. The black-clad agent pats the officer on the shoulder and nods as he turns away, ending his involvment and letting the young man carry on with his duties. Spotting a few people he recognizes he smiles. _it's good to see familiar faces again_ he muses to himself. As the commodore emerges and takes center stage, Adian focuses in that direction and listens quietly and intently, hands clasped behind his back. "Guess I'll sit tight till whatever happens happens," Danny mutters to himself. He moves over towards the side of one of the unoccupied consoles and leans up against it, shaking his head slightly to push out his slight fatigue. He hates the feeling that he gets whenever he wakes up, he always feels like half of him isn't awake quite yet. As Dauthus' voice cuts into his thoughts, his fatigue slips away slowly, as he begins to concentrate on whatever they'll be getting underway for. Cyn nods, doing her best to conceal a smile. Right to the heart of the matter, she wondered which rumors he had heard? And she listened intently, hands clasped behind her back. Adian noticed Cyn. Kelvis taps yet another button at his terminal, and turns to look at the man who's commanding all the attentions of the crew. He nods his head, and finally takes a seat at the terminal, deciding that there'll be plenty of time to waste energy later, awaiting further discussions. Cyn smiled to Adian briefly, itd been quite awhile since seeing him. The Intel officer catches cyn's glance and smiles in return. _Yes, definately good to see familiar faces... now what is the commodore up to?_ he chuckles to himself as he turns his focus around the room. The age of the ship has been creeping along, but the cleanliness has stayed constant. Glancing in the direction of the helm officer, he tries to get a concept of where the massive vessel is scheduled to drop from hyperspace once it plunges into it, but is unsatisfied. Adian chooses to wait where he is and returns to listening to the Sullustan with the answers. Dauthus makes his way toward his chair at the very center of the bridge. He taps a few keys on the arm of the chair, bringing up a complex image on the holoprojector: on the left side, one can see 'KESSEL' and a layout of the Kessel System; on the right is an image of a rather nerdy-looking human along with a short bio in small, unreadible type. Waving a hand at the image, he continues. "For five years, one of the Alliance's premier war research scientists has been held in the Kessel Prison. Tonight, we have clearance from High Command and we're going to rescue him. The Deliverance will set course for Kessel, where a ground force will detach and conduct a rescue mission. Very little, if any, space resistance is expected. However, we will provide the ground team with starfighter escort -- our concern is that they land safely, after which we will secure the system, allowing no ships to enter hyperspace until the ground team returns successfully." One of the officers that Rictor attempted to gain the attention of slow turns and to look over the civilian addressing him. Taking in a breath, the officer jabs a finger towards the entering commodore. Rictor jirks his head to the commanding officer, and begins to straighten slightly as he takes in the Sullustan. Arands says, "this is choice.. hehe.. only Danny and I are here from SO" Arands says, "only Rogue squadron will be in space to maintain security.. I seem not to have any other pilots on at the moment, so for all intents and purposes, Danny is Rogue squadron.. and Archers will launch as needed.." Adian wishes he would have been back to the ship earlier to find out about the details as he listens closer, taking a step in toward the holoprojector. Realizing who the scientist is, he smiles briefly before taking up his padd and calling up information. Tarroc says, "I'll be on standby." Kelvis blinks his large turquoise eyes, and 'hmmms' to himself, but otherwise stays queit and crosses his arms across his chest. Musing with some of the outcomes after the scenario had been laid out to him by Dauthus, the worst case would be the Empire having 1 Death Star, and 50 ISDII's in the kessel system at the same time the NR forces jumped in. Of course, the most plausible would be 1 ISDII with a full wing of TIE's. Danny sighs, 'Pity I can't have an omnipotent view of the universe,' he thinks to himself. 'Oh well, spontaneous is the best way for an adrenalin rush.' Danny's hand creeps up briefly, but he puts it down, he'll wait until the captain is done. Arands says, "well, that might be fun for you boss.. only you and Danny are here besides me to fly :)" Cyn listens as she studies the holo layout and reference points of the system thus displayed. >From the back, Rictor's voice is slightly audible, "Is that a model B95 Trinity Holoprojector?" to no one in particular. Dauthus paces away from the chair and back towards it again, glancing at the facial expressions of his officers. He continues, his voice booming, "Escort and Security will be provided by Rogue squadron. Archer and Ghost are on standby, and.." he pauses, hearing a voice asking on off-topic question in the back. Rather than humoring the question, or shooting a cold glare in its direction, he simply continues. "..and Support Corps technicians are on alert in case of any weapons fire. Are there any questions?" Danny's hand creeps up from the crowd, he waits to be recognized before opening his mouth. Adian quietly waits a moment to see if anyone else steps forward after danny before he does, awaiting recognition before speaking and letting the actual military do its job before he butts in. Cyn muses. Keep all craft from entering hyperspace. Simple enough, depending what they found upon arrival. The only question was, where was she assigned tonight? With her old Gunnery friends, or elsewhere.... Her eyes darted to the others. Arands seems about to voice his own directives for starfighter support, when he notes the Rogue pilot raise his hand. Smiling a bit to himself, he holds his tongue and, instead, moves towards Cyn. Dauthus swings his head about before catching the pilot's hand in his line of sight. "Yes, Lieutenant Stryer?" "Yes sir," Danny clears his throad momentarily and continues, "I'm pretty sure this has already been taken into account, but what about The Maw? If we get a wool pulled over our eyes there aren't many escape vectors out of Kessel..." Having driven his point across, he waits for the reply. Dauthus nods, and had been expecting this question. "I believe the technicians have equipped your starfighters with something of a warning system." He shoots his eyes over to the Archer Squadron Commander. "Commander Arands might be able to provide you with details." Adian smiles to himself, being curious to hear the answer as danny. His padd again is put to use as he listens to dauthus' reply. _hmmm, for some reason, i'm less paranoid than usual... is something wrong?_ his mind plays around with ideas and situations, wondering about formulas, plans and outcomes. After a few seconds, he looks up and waits for arands to speak. Kelvis watches the conversation flow from point to point, following the speakers with his eyes, not having any questions for himself. In his mind, it's simple, they break it we fix it. Danny ponders to himself, 'Warning device?' hopefully it won't break before he gets to use it. It might come in handy from, say, getting him sucked into a black hole. He turns to Arands after picking him out of the crowd, offering a small smile, and awaits a reply. Arands casts a 'thanks alot' glance to the Commodore, then turns to Danny, "It's experimental, Lieutenant. In theory it's supposed to detect gravitation pulls faster than traditional sensors. " He furrows his brow, not quite ready to hand his life over to a piece of sensor equipment. "Rogue squadron is the only unti equipped other than the Deliverance's main unit. Our approach vector and exit vector are already limited by mapped anomolies, so let's just use good piloting skills out there if possible.." Arands engages the hyperdrive. Dauthus glances about one more time. "Any other questions? Our window of opportunity is small, so we'll have to leave very shortly." Adian waits again to see if any military personell have questions before raising his arm. Danny nods to Arands, "Aye sir." Having heard the phrase: 'It's experimental, Lieutenant.' Thats it in a nutshell right there. Letting out a big sigh, Danny wonders if he has time to update his will... Kelvis glances at Adian, and awaits the newest question. Quelling his curiosity about the holoprojector, Rictor presses himself up on tippy toes to peer over the crowd of military officers. Audibly speaks before anyone else has a chance, "Sir, you *do* realize there are civilians aboard this vessel at this time. Since it appears we're entering into a combat situation, I think it would be quite a good point to bring up, wouldn't you think?" Rictor looks around as the eyes of the officers on the bridge turn to stare him down. He slips back to standing fully on his feet and puts a hand behind his head, and more quietly adds, "Of course, we're more the willing to give a hand where needed..." Dauthus smiles, looking to the man in the back. "I'm fully aware of the fact. My advice is to stay on board. Any other questions?" Adian clears his throat and nods to the sullustan after he answers the previous question, "Commodore?" Dauthus's eyes light up as he hears the agent ask a question. "Go ahead, Captain Ward." Adian smiles, "I was wondering about the groundteam? May i get a roster and possibly some data about the landing operation itself. I will assist in any capacity you'd allow... including joining the rescue party." Cyn turns to sit down at a comm station and set up there. The wash of questions over here delegated to a part of her mind sorting relevant from not... Bands of color psweeping across her face as data scrolls up and is siphoned to a notepad. Kelvis tugs on a tentacle, before turning back to his console, and checking the readouts of the Del again. Dauthus pulls out a datapad, walking it over to Adian. "Consider it done, Captain. All the data you'll need is on this datapad." He turns around to check for other questions. "If everyone's content, please get to your posts...may the Force be with you." Danny nods as the word is given to head out. He moves away from the unoccupied station and heads towards the door. He seems to be walking at a slow pace, seeing how almost everyone that came in for the briefing is leaving for the door. Better wait till the crowd dies out, pretty sure their ETA isn't for a few more minutes anyway. Adian nods and gratefully accepts the information device, reading it from where he stands. As if getting prepared for the ship's movement into hyperspace, he steps a meter forward and holds to a railing to steady himself. Cyn turns for a last look at the pilots.... just in case, and back to the board before her. Kelvis stares at his terminal, nodding slightly at the ending of the briefing, he pulls his comlink, and speaks into it, then clips it to his collar for easy access. Arands nods simply to the Commodore and starts towards the front viewport. With a nod to Dauthus, he steps past Cyn's station. "Ensign, call Rogue squadron to thier fighters and Archer and Ghost to ready capacity.. " Dauthus says, "Just as a note, we're physically going to be at tatooine." [Freak on a Leash] Danny says, "Whats our ETA?" Dauthus says, "2 minutes" Danny steps off the bridge as he manages to squeeze through some of the people comming and going. Danny exits the bridge through the aft archway. Danny has left. Dauthus says, "Kelvis, NPC a bridge officer for now." Cyn says, "Attention... Rogue Squadron to your ships. Archer, Ghost to Ready Room...." [Freak on a Leash] Danny says, "Rogue is ready, I guess." Dauthus takes the con. Dauthus checks the eta, then waves and nods to the officer at the helm. "Let's take us out of hyperspace." CS-9139 has just entered the system at -135,-70,-194. Dauthus sits back in the Captain's Chair. "Ensign Frithuwulf, what do you see out there?" Dauthus took us out of hyperspace.... Cyn leans into the board.

Silver says, "Rog ie ready" Adian looks up after ingesting quite a bit of information and takes a breath, looking out the viewport to reaffirm cyn's call, then moving forward to one of the sensor stations to look over an officer's shoulder. Cyn adds "Range 513 Sir. Vector towards X-193, Y233, Z217." Arands says, "just a note.. Kessel is a moon" Cyn glances to the CO. "Sir, shall I focus Scan? Or launch the landing party."

Cyn speaks quietly. "Starfighter 3034 has entered space around the Kessel Moon sir." Adian nods and simply says, "Aye Commodore." He heads out quickly, down to the shuttle bay. The ensign at the communications console, looks to the Commodore, "No communications recieved from it, Sir." Adian exits the bridge through the aft archway. Adian has left. Arands nods once he determines all is according to the limited plans he was privy to. Pulling up the seal of his flightsuit, he passes Thierdon who shakes his head at the dead area of space around the prison moon. "You sure you don't want to just take the night off Commander?" he asks, half in jest. Coming up short, Arands turns to the bridge officer, and he isn't smiling. "Something you'll learn, Lieutenant, is that when in the Empire's backyard and they aren't out playing? Usually means they're waiting to catch us in thier backyard.." He darts a look to Cyn and amends his previous order. "Have Archer squadron _in_ thier fighters.." and turns back towards the exit muttering, "I don't like this..." Cyn says, "Captain Ward is on his way with orders. Await him please..." Dauthus sits silently, nodding. He didn't expect to hear much...except maybe some weapons fire from the surface. Cyn says, "(Intercom) Archer Squadron to your ships. Archer Squadron to their ships...."

This is cutting in to his studying time. Adian enters from the command corridor. Adian has arrived. Adian enters Bridge -- NRSC Deliverance Dauthus says, "Adian, want to ship pose?" Dauthus says, "You'd be manning guns" Adian quickly strides onto the bridge again and moves toward dauthus, "Thanks commodore... close call..." he looks out the viewport to see what has happened so far. Adian says, "i'd be manning guns?" The Ensign at the communcations terminal, his eyes full of fear, "Sir, do you wish to respond to pond to the 'Valak'?" He swallows deeply,. Cyn says, "(Intercom) All Starfighters, launch.... Assume formation, shields up. Do not attack yet." Dauthus nods. "Pick up a cruising speed for the approach." Cimber says, "Anybody alive over there?" Dauthus says, "Sorry this is taking so long...we're trying to get some people to get into starfighters and launch. :)" SF-8352 forms up in squadron attack formation, its S-foils springing open giving it, the distinctive, and deadly form known throught the galaxy as the permiere assualt fighter: The X-wing. It's not in the best of shape it appears to have mithstood a lot of abuse. Carbon scoring criss crosses its wings and nose. Could this be a handed down fighter, put to gether via spare parts, or flown by someone who knows how to survive? The Mon calamari's aft engines flare blue as it shudders momentarily, beginning to pick up speed and lumber toward the Imperial Vessel. The dim light from the sun washes over one side of the behemoth, glinting off of viewports and turbolaser batteries. From CS-9139 over frequency 1312.77: " We're sorry, Star Destroyer Emperor Valak. But that might interfere with our mission. So, I don't mean to be rude, but would you kindly excuse us?" Dauthus says, "Other starfighters pose, then it's the Impies's turn" SF-4025 follows in its attack formation, locking its S-Foils into attack position along with the rest of the craft in the formation. The weapons systems charged, shields up, the starfighter and its pilot are ready for a little furball. The ship doesn't look very intimidating on its own, but the other starfighters in the compliment help amplify its intimidating look. The young Esign stares at his captain, then looks back to see if there is a reply, "Message sent, Sir." S-Foils locking into attack position, this red and white X-Wing is an anomoly among the others it flies with. So far, it seems to not have an apparent wingman. Nonetheless, it remains in loose formation with the others. CS-9653 just scanned you.

I just took off with three other A-wings.." Dauthus has to go AFK for about 15 minutes. "People on the bridge can carry on for me." You say, "Awings have left the Deliverance." SF-2829 emerges from the side hangar of the Mon Calamari cruiser as its stubby landing gear retracts into the body of the wedge-shaped A-wing. The speed and grace of the fighter's movements as it curves away from the capital ship leaves no doubt as to the skill of its pilot. One of the sensor officers chimes out, "KDY Impy two class at full strength... looks like she's got 6 fighters on standby..." Atticus says, "I say we give it a shot and test... if I'm not mistaken... the ships we have here might very well have shields. I've been out of the fighter scene for a while though. So... if it's cool, I'd like to launch fighters and give it a whirl... though I can only launch 1 PC ship. Thoughts?" Dauthus goes AFK. Kelvis mutters something into his comlink, and leans forward, hoping that damage will be at a minimum. Wing XO Arands says, "mind having an A-wing jock OOCly work with you, Atticus?" A deck officer, among the action on hand, marches up to Kelvis, saluting. Behind him trails Rictor, almost seeming to cower in on himself. The officer speaks up, "Sir, I believe this man would best be under your supervision, sir." Rictor, pears out from behind the officer, smiling rather slightly. Dauthus says, "All right. This is something we can do, but it's probably too complicated: let's say that ICly, you have x ships...in that case, only 1/x of our ships that are ICly firing on your starfighters actually DO fire using the combat system." Silver has disconnected. Wing XO Arands says, "otherwise you can just go one on one with a few of the pilots.. each one shooting at you and you responding and we can have a wiz reset your ships whenever it gets disabled" Use the Mojo, Adian doesn't know anything about the combat system, but has a pretty bad ass maneuver if someone can tell me how to pull it off? arands? basically we're flying straight for each other, i wanna roll the del on its portside and slide below the SD in order to bring most of our weapons to bear on her underside and fighterbays... how do we do that? Wing XO Arands says, "(by the way, by helping you I mean I'd fly my a-wing as if it were a TIE Interceptor)" Wing XO Arands would be more than willing to fly wing for you Atticus Atticus hmmmmmms, "Let's try it your way, Arands. Is that cool with everyone?" Kelvis glances up at the deck hand, then at Rictor, and shrugs, "Fine, take a seat, and brace yourself." He shakes his head, "If you want to be of help," he leans over and taps the screen in front of Rictor, "Watch that screen, if anything goes red, let me know." Kelvis says, "in front of the seat next to him, that is." Rictor peers curiously over the seat as the deck officer takes leave. "Right," chimes Rictor, as he twirls the seat around. "Er, you do realize I'm not all that familiar with the use of these instruments..." His eyes look back in forth across the panels rather dizzily as he buckles in.

Cyn says, "Dauthus is in control of out CS systems but afk. We need to log in someone else for gunnery? Or not worry about capital ship combat." Wing XO Arands says, "we need to move capships to about 500 units from each other and starfighters to about 150 from each other or at least 100.." Use the Mojo, Adian says, "ok... so, i'll have to take all of you into my battle group?" Wing XO Arands says, "these ships are litterally on top of each other" Rictor scratches his hairline, lips hanging open rather awkwardly. "I see..." He twiddles his hands over the console, looking slightly less out of place now than before. Still, he inquires, "So, exactly what *does* it mean if they turn red? I mean, obviously that something serious is happening, but exactly how serious..." he slowly works himself into a bit of nervous stutter. Atticus says, "Alright, that's a good point. I'm use to doing combat in the old system, when people generally moved to the exact same spot. Cimber, you take the EV out about 500 or so, and I'll move the fighters." Cimber nods. Arands says, "Imperial ships are moving to give us relative distance... we're too close for this coded combat" Arands says, "Rogue are solo in this.. I'm going to be flying a squint with Atticus since he's shorthanded" Atticus says, "Without sounding too out of it, I've never had to deal with perscission range movement. Will moving 100 in any of the coordinates move me 100 away from my presen position?" Arands says, "let the EMpire bring us into the battle group.. they started this whole thing :)" Cimber grumbles. Wing XO Arands says, "about so, yes.. just goto -135,0,-194" Atticus says, "Thanks for being patient, in all my years here I've done a few space battles but none that used anything coded besides the coms." Wing XO Arands says, "or whatever you like :)" Use the Mojo, Adian says, "good... so we'll accept the invitation when it's given. Then... i hate to say this, but we've got no one piloting this crate... dauth is afk... (he's at the helm... and i've no cap ship skills.)" Wing XO Arands says, "sorry if I get to sounding bossy.. I run alot of sims in the NR :)" Cyn says, "Ive got 5d and 6d at them, but dont know if theyre necessary Adian" Atticus says, "No problem, you know what you're doing. I'm just hear to learn and help work out a reasonable combat system. :)" Arands says, "Cyn has capships skills I would imagine.. Cyn go ahead and pilot.." Adian says, "k... well, you'll pilot the crate, i'll bark orders and pose" Atticus says, "Alright. I'm 100 away." Use the Mojo, Adian nods, "good, we have this worked out... you'll tell us step by step right? until we're used to it?" Wing XO Arands says, "yeah, I think with all of our opinions, plus the logs, we should be able to work out a general 'combat walkthrough' so everyone's larger battles have some organization.. I've been wanting to do something like this with the Empire since we got the new code.. that way, it's OUR ideas, not just mine" Cimber says, "Okay. All set." Cyn takes the con. Kelvis glances back at Rictor, and tugs on a tentacle, "If it goes red, it means the system is about to fail, and it needs immediate attention." He looks back to his screen, a graph of some thing, saying lightly, "But don't worry, I'll be fixing them before they totally collapse." Atticus nods. "It needs to be done so battle can become a little more regular... so we can have more interaction between our factions. Anyway, is everything in position?" Arands says, "doesn't matter... 4D is enough for piloting.. the big ships are gonna pound each other anyway" Use the Mojo, Adian says, "does positioning matter at all of the ships?"

A flicker in the readout of the ISD's shields show a strengthening of the shields around the bridge tower and a weakening of that around the main engines. Suddenly, the space between the two cruisers is lit up with green fire as the ISD belches forward several turbolaser blasts to welcome the Rebels to Imperial space.

No, but the wounded Del is in hyperspace (officially) and gone." Jonathan says, "What happened to the other big ship?" Silver says, "sure" Cimber says, "It's still here." Cyn says, "It is doing fine Jonathon. Shields up and was in pursuit." SF-5308 rolls and dives around the returning fire, and pulls into a large arc to pull off a few more shots at the fleeing fighters.

They next volley overloaded several systems but we managed to make the jump. HOw do you feel?" SF-5308 loops around the departing fighters, popping off shots at the straglers as it widley swings around. Silver says, "okay after that sucessfull evassion I'm out of here.." Jonathan asks, out of curiosity, "Did any Starfighters get hit by capital ship fire?" Atticus says, "They've only been firing at each other untill right then." Cimber says, "No. But only f shots were fired like that." Cyn says, "One is hurt but by another SF I think" Adian clears his throat and smiles as he stands. The hand to his head gives a little hint that he's not perfect. "Fine... just a little headache..." he chuckles, "Is everyone else ok?" Atticus nods, "I did some damage to sf-4025, and took 1 hit myself. SF-8352 starts to dive and roll out of the way of persuing fire. As he does he continiues to roll, somehow evading turbolaser fire from the big ISD. Jonathan says, "Did anyone log to whole thing?" Cyn looks down at her report, at the numbers of wounded and injured coming from all decks. "No. I really messed up." Cimber says, "I did." Cyn says, "Yes" Cyn smiles at Cimber Cimber says, "So are all the rebs gone now?" Cyn says, "Officially yes" Cimber says, "All right." Atticus says, "Silv hasn't posed a jump yet." Cyn says, "Ah ok" Silver says, "sorry hit enter too quick let me ammend my last pose..." Adian takes a deep breath, "How?" as he leans back against the projector. "Theres hundreds of crewmembers aboard... i think it was our fault as a team if anything got messed up." he smiles genuinely, "Our first mistake was not thinking and trying to tackle an imperial II star destroyer without backup." SF-8352 starts to dive and roll out of the way of persuing fire. As he does he continiues to roll, somehow evading turbolaser fire from the big ISD. The fighter and its group speed up, now having reached their exit vectors, and disappear into a blinking flash of white light. SF-5308 swoops after the disappearing ships, then loos around and heads back to the Emperor Valak... dipping its wings along with its wingmen in a series of victory rolls. CS-9653 lowers its shields. Cyn just nods, closing herself off from the wounded list that grows steadily. "Intelligence was severely lacking. If we'd known about the ISD...." Cyn chuckles. You paged Atticus with 'Good job. :)'. Atticus says, "Thanks to everyone who participated. Combat is definately easier now... that was actually enjoyable. :)" Cimber noddles. "Most definitely." Cimber says, "How long will it take us to get our shields back?" SF-5308 has left combat group "1". Adian lifts up cyn's chin slightly, "There's no way to have known... The valak jumped in out of hyperspace on us... you couldn't have known... we all need to thank the force we're still here in one piece..." he turns to pick up a datapad and to thank one of the medics moving around. When he turns back, he looks up, "How many fighters did we lose?" SF-8352 has left combat group "1". You leave combat group "1". SF-5308 has just landed at -193,133,117. SF-8352 has just landed at -185,-70,-144. Cyn mumbles a response, the numbers a blur right now to her eyes. "I'll have to go down and check. It'll be insane in the hangar bay." Cimber pages: Nice RPin' with you, man. Hopefully we can do this again some time. :) You paged Cimber with 'You too! I really hope so, both across the void and in perso.'. Cimber pages: Sure thing. Adios. Use the Mojo, Adian says, "everyone remember to thank atticus and cimber for the battle... though we lost (and i got d/c'd) i think we all came out pretty good and have a better handle on this whole combat system for next time!" Arands has connected. Arands has connected. Cyn says, "Hi Arands." Use the Mojo, Adian says, "you just missed the end my friend..." Silver says, "hey Boss" Arands says, "well, that was fun" Arands says, "my ISP went down.." Silver got shot at by an ISD II.. Use the Mojo, Adian says, "mine too..." Silver says, "the mush got lagged..." Use the Mojo, Adian says, "you're still alive, right?" Arands says, "not after this Sat though.. !! Going to cable online :)" Cyn says, "Yah. Del jumped out with the starfighters doing same. Actually, everyone got kicked off. Few made it back" Arands says, "Ah, so it wasn't me" Silver nods to Adian... only cause my excelent flying. Cyn says, "Right. Want the Del moved? I thought to leave it here for people to hop aboard." Arands says, "we jumping out or waiting for atticus?" Silver posed the fighters jumping out you might as well land. Use the Mojo, Adian chuckles, 'Gotcha... well, in any case, we lost... a MCSC isn't really an even match with an imp II SD... but i think we did all right... we 'jumped' out rp wise... everyone should remember to thank atticus and cimber if you didn't already. Wing XO Arands says, "well, that was fun.. mush be lagging tonight" Cyn says, "Well, if you want to stay Atticus can shoot you. Hes pretty happy right now. :)" Wing XO Arands says, "we're cutting our loss's I guess? we calling it quits for this encounter?" CS-9653 raises its shields. CS-9653 lowers its shields. =nrf Just before the Mush went down, Id gotten an order to pull the Del out of there. So when it came up, thats what we did Cyn says, "Just before the Mush went down, Id gotten an order to pull the Del out of there. So when it came up, thats what we did" Adian reads through a few things before looking up, "all right, well, i'm going to head down to medbay and have my head examined." he grins wide, "You relax and just keep a clear head, all right?" Use the Mojo, Adian waves, "time for me to get some sleep Cyn nods, the look of tension still there. Tomorrow she'll be wearing sleepless signs in her eyes.. "I will." Cyn says, "Uff. Me too" Adian turns and heads out the archway. Adian exits the bridge through the aft archway. Adian has left. Cyn says, "Arands, the Dels shields went down in the fight. I cant raise them. Someone'll need to reset/repair them later." Wing XO Arands says, "Atticus?" Use the Mojo, Adian grins, "yeah, we lost them pretty damn quickly... we'll need to figure out some strategy to use =)" Arands says, "first rule of Capship combat - NEVER close within 500 units of an ISD.. she's got too many guns" Silver says, "missed me :)" Use the Mojo, Adian grins, "i'll keep that in mind =) later all =)" Adian has disconnected. Adian has disconnected.
