Faction Crusades

[huuyor]

Gregory chimes in "I say we let word spread that Gazer is on the way and that we plan on taking him on. Most will just hide be I feel a Few in the city will join us, just to get thier freedom from this slime. We can head back to the cantina where this all started and get the ball rolling. How much time do you think we have before Gazer gets here?

[hobbes]

"There is no way to tell how much time you have. It could be mere hours or it could be days. I lean towards the former myself. Heading back to the cantina to shore up the locals on your side could be extremely helpful to you," Zaybo says in answer to Gregory's question.

To everyone, "As all of you were split up, do all of you even know each other...?"

[netjedi]

Niko, speaks up
"I know most, but for those I do not. I am Niko Cade and I am a thief, a confidence man and have some skills with computers. I do not believe that killing is the only option, and i hold life in high regard."

Niko looks to Zaybo

"Do you know what type of vessel Gazer travels in? we might be able to learn when a matching vessel is set to dock planetside."

After the introductions happen, Niko will gather some food to take to Stormie and see if he can talk to him.

[Orgaloth]

Orgaloth moves closer to the prisoner, looming over him.

"How you know we here? Why follow? Talk or pain."

Ooc: intimidation

[Critias]

The helmeted head swivels upwards a bit, peering at Niko as he walks closer.

"Careful," says the tinny, distorted voice from behind the helmet's speakers. "Don't want to get throttled by the Wookie for wasting Alliance resources, do you?"

[netjedi]

Niko smiles and responds to Stormie

"If the wookie wants to throttle me, let him. I am incapable of stopping him. I believe that all beings have a right to life, and that every being is capable of making their own choices. For example, you made the choice to help us save our friend and you made the choice to assist us in getting the blockade. Choices like that, when you are not coerced to make them, that is what makes a being free. I respect that, and I try to make others respect that as well."

[Critias]

"You'll have to pardon me if I'm not feeling particularly 'free' just yet."

His tone is still partially modulated by the standard microphone-and-speakers rig of his helmet, but the cynicism in his voice is undeniable; and also, perhaps, accurate. If found by the Empire right this second, he'd be executed for treason. If the Rebel Alliance's Wookie security system had had its way, he'd have had his head twisted off. He wasn't exactly the most liberated, popular, being in the galaxy right now.

"But I appreciate the sentiment, even if it's coming from a self-described con man."

[hobbes]

The wounded stormtrooper weakly raises his head to gaze up at Orgaloth. "I'm Trooper CR-472. I don't believe I have much longer, so pain is not as convincing as it might otherwise be," he briefly glances at Zylia seeing her face tighten ever so slightly. "I'd like food. Food that is not from a blasted cafeteria, and not made from cold, pre-packaged rations. Good food. I want to eat something good to eat one more time."

He pauses for a few moments to see if Orgaloth will make any attempt at getting him decent food, "Don't even know who you are, so didn't know you were coming. Quedda said you were following him and we needed to take you out... We tried," he says shrugging weakly.






In the main room, continuing the introductions:
"Mon Calamari Medic at your service. The name is Zylia, and I'm decent in a fight, but far better at cleaning up after it," she says as she bows with a flourish.

"The name is Blaine, and I'm a Communications and Encryption expert," the Bothan chimes in. "With absolutely no people skills," Zylia adds with a giggle. Blaine gives her a withering glare.



After everyone appears to have made whatever introductions they are going to, Zaybo pipes up again, "I will do a little digging and see what I can come up with for Gazer and his ship. It would probably be a good idea for you to go and reassure your backup at the cantina in the meantime. Also, see about finding a way to contact them as the battle may or may not take place at the cantina. Meet back here as soon as you are done, and we will go over what we've found out as well as come up with a plan-of-action."

"Stormtrooper, are you going with them or staying here?" Zaybo queries Ryn.

[Critias]

The featureless white helmet turns towards Zaybo, then a bit past him to eye the Wookie before the Stormtrooper answers.

"Think I wouldn't mind a trip outside. Fresh air might be nice." He clambers to his feet, armor rustling and clanking a bit. "And maybe I'll be able to get this lot past another checkpoint or two."

[huuyor]

Gregory says "Ok I'm going back to the catina, who's coming with me?"
