Wer paused at what Xim said over the comm.
"Please tell me you misspoke and did not say gammoreans with an E-WEB Xim..."
The Gravity locks suddenly clicked to an open position. Wer glanced at them. He was about to say something when the blaring klaxon alarms began to sound out.
"Or I guess now we are the center of attention!" Wer shouted as he threw his hands up in the air. He didn't have a moment to comprehend what was happening for long. Several of the Gammoreans made themselves known as they crowded the area that Wer himself had come through. And unfortunately for Wer, Xim had not misspoken. It was only thanks to the surpressing fire that Dar'Manda began to lay down that provided Wer a chance to react.
"Eat this pigs!" Wer shouted. He produced a smoke grenade from his belt and, after pulling the pin, chucked it at the approaching Gammoreans. The erupting smoke would hopefully keep them distracted long enough to let Wer start up the engines.
"Alright you droids, you got the fuel done?"
The leading ASP labor droid nodded. "Affirmative"
"Good, get on board and enter standby mode. Daddy is going to get something out of this after all"
Wer didn't even wait to hear the droids say affirmative or negative, and simply booked it onto the ship. Truth be told, he never flew New Alderaanian ship before, but provided it had a gas pedal and a steering wheel, Wer was sure he could get it running.
D20 roll to fly ship
Result: 5: failure
When Wer sat at the controls, he began to flip a few switches and press some of the buttons. For the most part, he was going off memory of how Xim flew his Manda Money.
"Alright, that shouldn't be wrong, lets uh...pull this..."
Wer flipped a switch. For a moment, the engines began to rev up.
Then they died down.
"Uhhh....." Wer stammerred as he took off his helmet and threw it aside to see better. Behind him, he could hear the ASP-Series droids board the ship.
"Hey Xim?" Wer shouted, his helm's comm still working despite being on the floor. "I got good news and bad news. Good news is the ship is ready to fly. Bad news is, and I need you to be as technical as possible, what is the proper checklist to starting up a New Alderaan ship? Only thing I've flown are speeders, skiffs and that one ship that I refuse to talk about..."
Wer just hoped that Dar'Manda could do her best to hold off the Gammoreans and the droids. He doubted the droids would shoot the ship, but those pigs were a different story.
