(D5 LM) Damsel in Distress

[Galen Sol]

Galen moved closer, but did not approach the speeder. Instead, he watched their surroundings for any sign of more trouble.

"How are things Zane?" he asked over his commlink.

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Oh pretty good, a pretty standard morning all things considered." He glanced towards his friend.

"How about you, doing well?"

[Galen Sol]

"Just another day on Nar Shaddaa." he laughed. "I'll keep look out."

[Jo'ren Rath]

Hearing Hat guy speaking on coms the Sith spoke again. "You two know each other then. I'm Jo'ren Rath."

He breathed in deeply, recovering a bit of battle fatigue.

(Activate Second Wind to regain 1 strain)

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Good to hear, hate to see you getting into any trouble." He offered to Galen before addressingbtge sith.

"A pleasure Jo'ren." The man in the hat offered politely. "I'm Zane or Z, and my friend with the rifle is Galen."

[Galen Sol]

"Seems to usually happen around you." he laughed over the comm.

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I've only come across trouble three or four days in the last five." He didn't count being told to stay away from her sister from Vera, or kinda being threatened by Thera. "That's about average right?"

[Galen Sol]

"Sounds about right, for you." he agreed. "I've been around that average, too. Whose speeder is that?"

[Zanebry Varliss]

"It's definitely four." He murmured mostly to himself. "Average for me? I thought it was average for everybody?"

At the question he paused a moment before speaking. "It belongs to Evangeline Ulter." He offered at last.

[Galen Sol]

There was silence for a few moments. "If she's in there, we need to get her out of here."

[Zanebry Varliss]

Was that Galen's way of saying it wasn't average? It was wasn't it. "That would be the idea." He glanced towards the sith. "You think we can do anything about that Jo'ren?"

[Jo'ren Rath]

"Yeah, we'll probably have to carry her out. I'll see if she responds to stims."

(OOC: I'm sure Nekoinu will give us the low down)

[Nekoinu]

One of the survivors from the wreckage crawled out. "Miss Ulter, we have to-"

A blaster bolt slammed into his skull; he was dead before he hit the floor. The sharpshooter was on top of one of the nearby buildings. A speeder also dropped off more heavily armed men, armed with blaster rifles and converging on the location.

In the meantime, Hutt Security Forces did their best to suppress mobs, though one so far was able to make it past them.

[Jo'ren Rath]

Of course it wasn't over yet. "Ah crap. Take out that sniper will you Galen?"

The banter had served to distract Zane at least a little, and he wasn't quite as quick as he was the last time men appeared on the scene.

[Nekoinu]

The riflemen split into pairs while the mob came up from the rear. Up on the rooftop, the marksman prepared another shot.

In the meantime, Evangeline could be heard groaning from the trauma of her crash landing.

[Nekoinu]

The rooftop marksman lined up his sights on Galen, the only one with a rifle near the assassination target. His shot slammed straight into Galen's rifle, not enough to cause any permanent damage, but enough to throw him off his game.

In the meantime, the first fireteam took up positions and marked Zanebry as their priority to get to the shuttle. They landed devastating shots on the man, leaving up an opening for the other to take advantage of.

Well they weren't making him any happier. "Galen, take that guy out, Zane try not to die."

The two men charged by Jo'ren were not able to line up any shots before they were eviscerated by the Sith apprentice. In the meantime, the mob of 'civilians' made their way up, not taking any shots for the time being.

The marksman on the roof could barely be heard saying into his comms, "Switch engagement. Hold the line for reinforcements." He then took a shot, which did absolutely nothing for anybody.

[Jo'ren Rath]

Jo'ren moved almost imperceptibly as the sniper shot missed his head, impacting off the road surface. "What did I ask you to do Galen?"

Unperturbed he threw himself at the next Fireteam who were conveniently within range of his whirling death storm. His eyes flicked to the group of three advancing with blaster pistols. "Zane, take them out."
