Sleheyron

The Material Has Become Immaterial: The Materiaalaankopen is a wanna be Syndicate, track down these lowly thugs and kill them.. one of their B-1A2 Bolo-class corvettes has been spotted regularly around Sleheyron, that's our turf, either destroy it or bring it back for the Pykes, either way take it away from their control.(Self DM 2-3 participants.)


Rafe was laying inside a crate marked Supplies that had been loaded on the a B-1A2 Bolo-Class Corvette manned by the Materiaalaankopen, they had made the mistake of touching down on Sleheyron, a planet Rafe had been hard at work building his influence on, and had even opened up shop on. None the less he was able to get himself and a few others stowed inside crates to be loaded on the ship, @Mae Tecono, @Rafe, and a handful of other were inside specially designed crates made to he opened from the inside it was a heck of a move, but one Rafe was sure they could pull off, and assualting a corvette from the outside certainly didn't interest him at all.. In total eleven bodies were inside crates, though Rafe wouldn't need them all for the take over. Some were just to help pilot the ship back once they took it...

Rafe's men had made sure they were loaded into the cargo hold and set without anything else on top of them to prevent a mess of trying to escape the crates. Luckily the Materiaalaankopen had just unloaded all of their slaves to be sold on the planet, meaning the only ones on board other than Rafe's crew was the enemy, and shouldn't be more than three dozen at the most, and none of them needed to live...

Rafe had been keeping in contact with the front crew over an encrypted short range radio so they could all bust out in unison. He had felt the Corvette take off, and it was clear they had broken atmosphere now, he wanted this to be over before they jumped to hyperspace. Rafe whispered into the the encrypted channel, Everyone ready on three... two... one..

Jules had enjoyed his long nap. This was going to be the biggest ship he had ever considered taking. Rafe had brought along enough people to run the corvette so long as nothing went wrong. Jules had absolutely no doubt that this was a kill mission. He planned on doing all his killing with his vibro blades but knew that his Peacemakers would leave damage. So he planned on using the stun option.

Using the force he had gently reached out finding 38 additional beings and a forty or more droids. The droids could be a problem because you could never tell if they had defensive or offensive capability until they chose to show it.
He had studied the blueprints of this Corvette his eidetic memory locking it in his memory forever before being locked into his crate.

He had then taken another nap this time it was much shorter as it was interrupted by Rafe's countdown.

Mae was a little annoyed with the plan on this one. No, not because she was stuffed tightly in a crate, but because she thought when they were going to be taking on a ship, in you know space, it be at the controls of her own ship. She did not mind fighting on foot but her true joy was in her cockpit.

She had to find something better then twiddling her thumbs while she waited. She was too uncomfortable to take a nap, so she pulled her two blasters out and made sure they were ready for the fight ahead of them. She had gotten used to the two weapons of death very quickly, and after making sure they were in perfect working order, she decided to use her now open time, to name them.

"Lets see, your my right handed pistol and my most accurate, so you shall be called 'Headshot'. And you, my precious lefty wielded friend, you shall be known as 'Gilbert'." She joked to herself.

She then heard Rafe over tge comms and got ready to open her box.

Rafe finished the count down and pulled the rip chord, busting out of the oversized crate with his peacemaker in hand, finger on the trigger, ready to find a target and send a merciless heavy bolt it's direction... however no one was around, the cargo hold was empty, much to Rafe's surprise, even though they had just dumped their cargo on the planet Rafe still expected them to man the cargo hold, at the very least with some sort of security droids.. but nothing...

Okay... Rafe said somewhat in disbelief, as he made his way to exit of the cargo hold that would lead them further inside the ship, Rafe was somewhat disgusted with what he did see however, technically Rafe was a slaver, he had captured free people and turned them over to be slaves, but what Rafe saw here added a little fuel to his fire, small cages littered the cargo hold, so small @Mae Tecono probably couldn't even stand up straight inside of them.

Rafe had just approached the door that would lead further inside the ship when a red light flashed above their heads, and an alarm sounded.. Fhtagn.. Rafe cursed, the cameras.. of course. This was not going the way Rafe had wanted it to go.

Well they knew they were here, Rafe kicked open the door, it's hinges twisting as he did so, one even popping off and bouncing across the floor, immediately after he did so Rafe took cover on one side, but not before a single light blaster bolt bounced off the beskar of his lower left arm. Down the hallway had to be something like two dozen droids already, how did they get here so fast..

Jules could have told Rafe that the corridor was full of droids if only he had waited a moment. But on the other hand if he had waited he wouldn't be Rafe now would he. Oh well it looked like there was going to be damage. Flipping the selectors to kill even as he drew his peacemakers Jules sent bolt after bolt down the corridor taking out droid after droid.

Reaching out with the Force during a momentary lull Jules sensed others approaching from a higher deck. Sending one last bolt down the corridor Jules shouted to Rafe, " these are all yours." He then using the Force jumped straight up into the air 10 meters onto the catwalk. His pistols covering the hatch the whole time.

Even though the crew came looking for trouble they were not prepared for the trouble that found them.

Mae too, climbed from her crate. She quickly stretched as Rafe had already gotten himself found and alarms and whistles were blowing. She looked over at Rafe as she hid at the opposite side as him, for cover, and rolled her eyes and mouthed "Amateur" at him followed with a quick smile.

She pulled "Headshot" and "Gilbert" from her holsters and got ready for a fight.

As Jules joined the fight, he started pecking off droids one by one before using his force magic to jump up to the catwalk above. She was not sure of their third companion but she has never ran a job with him until now, either.

Mae decided to get in the fight and turned the corner firing six shots, 3 from each pistol. 5 headshots and a miss, "I guess that's why I called you Gilbert" she thought of her off hand weapon as it was the only one to miss a headshot on a droid. She then flung a droid popper down the corridor disabling another three droids as she advanced with a dash and a roll back to her side. Advancing a few meters, or a half step according to Rafe. She continued to engage the droids, not leaving many for Rafe but there were plenty more to be had she assumed.

This mission had definitely turned to skat in a very short period of time. Rafe shook his head when Mae teased him, as he had certainly embarrassed himself. No matter how many times he did this, Rafe had never truly prepared himself for fighting an army of droids.. that was more Mae's thing than anyone else's. Even so, Rafe drew his micro missile gun.. and fired one down the hallway, it's resulting explosion echoing down the hall, Rafe heard an unfortunate click as a piece of his micro missile gun fell to the ground. You got to be Kriffing me.. Rafe thought. This wasn't his day.. even though that brand of firearm was known for often needing repairs he still hoped he could use more than once today..

Rafe peeked around the frame of the door, his micro missile gun now back in its holster and his peacemaker in hand, at the same time Rafe caught a bolt in one of his segmented durasteel plates. Fhtagn!!.. Rafe cussed, fed up with his bad luck, before blind firing some twenty times down the hallway at about chest height for a normal droid.

Somewhere, someone was having a much better day than he was.. and they'd only just gotten started...

Silence came from the hallway.. the front line must of fallen.. there was still plenty left Rafe was sure...

The moment the hatch opened Jules began a near continuous stream of blaster bolts. When the sixth crewmember collapsed to the deck, Jules began moving up the corridor shooting anything that got in his way. He was headed to the bridge at top speed. He doubted he would get there before these Materiaalaankopen syndicate fools shut the blast doors.

Jules knew that if that happened it would be pretty dicey getting in before the pilot managed to reenter the atmosphere and returned to his port where he would have an unlimited amount of backup. Using the Force to enhance his speed and ignored anything that was not directly in front of him. He was sure it was going to be close.

Mae rolled and dashed across the corridor to Rafes side. She saw him kind of ducking and peering around the door like a sly wolf. This was not his style, he had always just burst in killing and not thinking twice. Maybe it was because they were fighting droids instead of actual humanoid enemies. She brushed up against his shoulder and let her right hand graze behind his ear before grabbing her twin peacemakers back from their holsters and stepped out into the opening in front of Rafe and quickly disabled 6 more droids with quick fire headshots. She was really getting good at the aiming thing. Smarts was another matter as she caught a blaster bolt in her side, barely absorbed by her armor as it singed her side. She jumped to the other side of the door away from Rafe for cover. She then smacked one of the peacemakers against her head as she blamed herself for her foolish behavior. She had gotten cocky and caught a blaster burn because of it.

She looked over at Rafe, hoping he had a plan for the next wave of droids.

Rafe felt @Mae Tecono's hand graze his ear, as he recoiled slightly out of reaction he thought, Did she just pet me..? Before turning his now confused attention back to the crowded hallway, Rafe had glanced back but it appeared @Julius Arvo was nowhere to be seen. With a groan Rafe pointed his peacemaker back down the hallway, maintaining as much cover as he could using the doorway to continue firing, sure they had the droids bottlenecked in the hallway, but the droids also had they blocked off from entering the rest of the ship.

Between @Mae Tecono and himself, they disabled about ten more droids within the hallway before the metal on metal marching ceased, hoping they'd gotten the majority of them Rafe bolted into the corridor, only to find a near wall of broken, burnt, and destroyed droids forcing him to holster his pistol and begin moving them to the side to provide a narrow path for the two of them to pass.

The long hallway was otherwise devoid of life, synthetic or otherwise, as they went Rafe estimated they must of gunned down about three and a half dozen droids, Rafe really hoped that was their full force.. unfortunately once the long hallway opened into the interior of the ship Rafe's hopes were crushed as the two came under heavy fire from an E-Web Heavy Repeating Blaster down one of the corridors, the emplacement was manned, finally by organics, possibly humans, which was good, at least it wasn't droids.. as the heavy fire from the emplacement scorched the wall opposite Rafe and Mae Rafe could just barely hear the yelling over the fire, but not enough to make out their words.

This was an absolute skat show.. Rafe looked at Mae and rolled his eyes, he was getting quite fed up. Rafe took a few steps back and then dove to the floor in the corridor, the suppressive fire of the emplacement was now clear to Rafe to just be suppressive fire... as he spotted three individuals carrying kriffing Z-6 Rotary Blasters, while on his side Rafe took three pot shots at the emplacement operator, and one at one of the rotary gun carriers, he managed to land one in the forehead of the man behind the emplacement, causing it to stop firing just before the rotary guns started opening fire. Rafe's second target took one blast to the chest, causing him to kneel down but not fall over.

Just as the rotary guns started opening fire Rafe activated his jetpack, sending him further down the hall out of view from the gunners. He was almost fast enough. But still caught one light bolt from the rotary guns in his kneepad, causing the piece to shatter and pieces of it to fall off of him as he skidded across the floor..

Jules continued hurtling through the ship and blasted three crewmembers in the head but not without taking one blaster bolt in the thigh. He didn't have time to worry about it, as he rolled under the lowering blast doors that were sealing off the bridge.

There were only two people left on the bridge busily trying to bring the ship around to return to their port. Jules flipped his peacemakers over to stun and shot both of them . Both crewmembers slumped to the floor just moments after the blast doors sealed themselves.

Limping to the console he charged the course to take them to his jump coordinates. He then put binders on both of unconscious crewmembers. Flipping on his com link Jules stated, "Bridge secured. Now changing security settings. " "Go ahead and clear the rest of the ship, I am unable to assist you at this time,"

Jules put a preloaded data spike into the access port and allowed it to perform its routines. Flopping down in a nearby chair Jules reached out and drew upon the Force channeling the power into his wound.

Mae was happy to hear that Jules had secured the bridge, but then when he radioed to Rafe and her to clear the rest of the ship on their own, she growled in annoyance. Some of that Jedi mumbo jumbo magic would be handy about now.

She then saw Rafe make his move and took this as an opportunity to slide through the doors behind him, using his big frame as cover. As he flew towards the rotary blasters, she used that as a distraction to slide back to the edge of the room and run stealthy up the side and join Rafe as he met those with the rotary blasters. Mae pulled her peacemakers and fired some bolts as she got near, but they were too heavily armored.

Mae tge rolled behind a crate and slid her pistoles back into their holsters and swung around her rifle. Something a little more powerful and accurate. She took aim and began to fire on the one on the left. Hitting him in the head plate a few times did little to hurt him, but it did stagger him and cause a cease fir from his barrels. As he swung his rotary gun around looking for who was toying with him, Mae caught him behind the knee with two shots to the un armored spot. He droped to that knee again, exposing his hip near her which she then blasted him down and out from.

She began to engage the others as Rafe rejoined the fight from the ground, no longer flying about.

Rafe leaned around the corner and fired twice, hitting the same spot as it crushed the helmet face and then the actual face of the man holding the rotary blaster. Mae had managed to also down another one, so with them down Rafe ran forward and pumped one more blast into each one of them before holstering his pistols and picking up two of the rotary blasters, leaving one for Mae.

Slinging one over his shoulder he held the other one at the ready as he continued walking, he could hear shouting in one of the rooms up ahead, he really wished he'd brought more explosives.. Rafe stood to the side of the door and hit the button, as it slid open several shots were fired out and hit the wall opposite the door. Rafe didn't lean in, he just stuck the many barrels of his new rotary blaster through the doorway and opened blind fire, he had no idea if he was hitting anyone, or even what the room looked like, but he held down the trigger until it stopped shooting..

Once the code breakaer was run and Jules had full control of all the ship settings with only his biometrics allowing access the first thing he did was take all data port access offline with the bridge only working on his voice commands.
He then shut every blast door on the ship and locked every crew quarters door. He then took all of those doors offline leaving them sealed with the hull breach electro magnets.

It would take a creature as physically powerful a Rafe to even have a chance at forcing one of those doors. He then pulled up the cameras and began checking each one. He then opened up his com link and told Rafe and Mae both, " I have the doors as well as the cameras and life support. " "We can now go Section by section, every thing else is trapped and can be flushed into space on your call." Jules finished.

Mae looked at Rafe, "We don't need prisoners do we? I say we flush all we can right now and then sweep the rest. What do you think?" She asks him.

She starts stripping off the armor and jet pack from the two downed rotary wielding dead guys. Not really her size, but she could work on that.

May tried to pick up the other rotary weapon that Rafe left for her but it almost weighed as much as her and was impossible for her to carry, let alone lift.

Rafe looked down at the shattered pieces of his armour, the broken micro missile gun in its holster, and then finally back to Mae, We don't need prisoners.. was all he said, luckily @Julius Arvo had helped to make the situtation a little bit smoother from the cockpit. Even so, Rafe had grown tired of this day, and proceeded to walk by each of the sealed doors, the ones with windows have Rafe a view of the bunkering Materiaalaankopen men, Rafe opened the comms once Mae and he had walked the whole ship, and called for everyone still in the crates to come to the cockpit.

Once Rafe made it to the cockpit, with the other Pykes and crewmembers in tow, he had Julius pop the cockpit door, letting everyone in and sealing it behind him. Rafe pulled his helmet on, and advised everyone else to do the same or at least don one of the vac suits present in the ship. Once everyone was dressed and ready, Rafe looked over to @Julius Arvo, Kill the life support and open the air locks.. Rafe's attitude had changed, he was usually all in for any piece of combat, at this point he was simply ready for the day to be done.

Rafe would look at each person in the cockpit, each one of them held some sort of loyalty to Rafe, while he nodded at each one, this fact brought comfort to Rafe as he made his way to the captain's chair, and the others took their seats. Rafe sealed the cockpit as Julius had done before, the idea was to keep the cockpit full of air while sucking the rest out of the ship, along with all of the Materiaalaankopen's men...

Jules killed the life support in the rest of the ship. After a full hour he began opening the individual air locks then opened every door in that section. When each section had been flushed the doors were re sealed. It wasn't a noble death that was for sure Jules acknowledged. While putting on a Vac suit.

After the entire ship was clear Jules turned the console and cameras to the crew. Then he and two self contained heavily armored Pykes first turned the hallway outside the bridge into an air lock. The three of them then conducted a thorough search of the ship section by section. Even though the scanners showed no additional life signs Jules wanted to make sure that no one had managed to get to a vac suit and tied themselves inside or that some combat droid had managed to mag lock itself to the decking.

There was a time when the amount of equipment that they had ejected into space would have seriously bothered him. It took five full hours to search the ship to Jules satisfaction. Along the way they had put restraining bolts an a couple dozen seemingly distraught Astro-Mech Droids, apparently the only ones equipped with mag locks.

Returning to the bridge Jules entered his Boimetric signatures and allowed th ship to jump into hyperspace.

Mae followed Rafe the best she could. She had left the armor pieces and jet pack in a pile and after they had walked the ship and returned, she picked up the pile on the way to the cockpit. Once in the cockpit, she slipped her flight helmet on and sealed her flight suit for independent life support. She looked at Rafe and frowned. She did not like that he was having such a rough day. She went over to him after he had given his commands and had nodded at each of them in the cockpit. She looked up at him, only her eyes visible through her helmet. As their eyes met, and she saw his tense brow, she gave him a quick wink and grazed his arm with her hand in support. It was not much of a gesture, but she had hoped it might have helped a little to give him a little peace. She then went over to the external monitors and watched as the rest of the crew were ejected into space. "They never had a chance" she whispered to no one in particular.

Rafe sighed in relief as Mae had silently reassured him, finally this day would be over and Rafe would be able to repair his equipment. For some time Rafe sat impatiently in the cockpit, his whole body sealed in a suit with recycled air pumping through it constantly.

Time passed finally at a snails pace and Rafe allowed the crew to sweep the ship as he sat in the cockpit and lit a deathstick once it was full of air again. They'd brought enough crew to bring the ship back safely.
