Fading Light - IC

[obidancer]

What, you want a hug or something? Holy Mother of all Sithspawn! Look, Soldier, no need to play the emotional card here. We've all seen terrible thing here, I ain't gonna start dropping tears, nor will you I'm sure.
I had no doubt Politicians would care less about a bunch of refugees from a backwater world. But giving up won't save our skin.
You might think you're a noble bunch, but all I see is a handful of may-be-brave people brainwashed to follow suicidal orders.
But I'll tell you what. If a contingent of your army is to come here it means they'll bring ships big enough to evacuate my people. And hopefully with enough firepower to protect landing and take off.
If it means holding a assieged position against those Vong for some days, it'll be done. But every single survivor will have to be brought to a safeworld, if you army wants to ever use this base. Fair trade, that ain't negociable.
Follow me. Drake makes is way back inside the base, giving the proper indication for the security guard to turn on and off the traps at the proper time, and reseting the manual ones that had to be deactivated while continuing the conversation.

"I got news for you," Garolf says, looking Drayke in the eye. "I'm not playing some emotional card and if that's what you wish to think, fine. But some wounds are a little to fresh at the moment and thinking about them right now isn't easy. And if you think we're a bunch of brainwashed soldiers then you haven't got a clue. We all knew perfectly well this could be suicide, but we took this assignment anyway."


He then turns to Trustrum and listens to what he says about the survivors. Nodding, he turns to Rylah.

"I think first priority will be to make sure the base's first aid station is in proper working order and to go over the med records with Mr. Trustrum. It will be up to the two of you, but I think the pregnant women should be top of the list once you've looked over the first aid station and gotten the medical supplies into it. Especially the Zeltron."

He then turns back to Drayke.

"How good are you at building weapons? We've got something a little desperate in mind here, something we used to use back in the Alliance for situation's like this. We've brought some weapons and material of a destroyed X-wing that Hrar may or may not be able to turn into an anti-infantry weapon or two. If it works, it might help keep more of your people from getting killed. Course it might not. But if we can put it together and get it to work it should at least help."

The two teams work together to move the last rock so everyone can move through.

There are 13 men and women wearing rag tag vest armor, some of which Garolf recognize as standard issue... 40 years ago. Most people are wielding the matching antique blaster. They are mostly weary of the new comers, but you can see a glint of hope in their eyes. They think that their stay here might have come to an end.

One of them says "Are you going to be attracting the invaders here before the help arrives?"

Rownn watches the posturing with some resignation, but lets it slide; these guys will figure out who's who before long and it will end, with a little patience.

In response to the last question Rownn shakes his head, and warbles, "Not if we can help it... though our crash will probably attract unwanted attention. Be watchful"

With the extra help from the other side, the last rock is moved quickly and everyone is through. Everyone gets on board the mag car and it moves back to base slowly.

ooc: Will move forward tomorrow or the next day. Small talk / introductions / plan until then. Both PCs that have been in the base now know the usable materials within it, so feel free to ask that. Ride will take aprox 25 mins (not working at full str, and lots of stopping to disarm traps)

ooc2: Just a reminder - this was a museum

Fleet arrival time: 234:42 hours. Local time: 1718

final ooc: a note that this clock is updated with every significant post of mine - so be sure to check the subject header. I miss it every now and then but always try to keep it updating for you guys. 234 hours and 42 mins left till backup arrives.

Tiny settles into the mag car, he's not comfortable making small talk but he listens to what everyone else has to say.

After a while he picks up a few small rocks and attempts to balance them on The Hammer's repulsor field

Jo smirks as Garolf and this Drayke fellow flex their collective muscles. He shakes his head, and goes on to help with clearing the tunnel. Once done, he then moves to help get the equipment loaded on the mag car.

Visibly winded, he plops down next to Tiny as the big bruiser plays with his "hammer".

"Nice," he comments.

ooc: quiet few days

The ride back is done in silence. The crew of the Chance mostly exhausted from their trek up to now, and the residents of the mountain sceptical of the new comers. There is a small crowd of timid children waiting at the end of the tunnel who all scramble behind cover peeking out to see what is going on. One of the females who was in the car with you hops out and shoos them away, leaving with them.

The lights arent on in all the rooms, and some of the overhead lights are flickering. You notice the temperature is a bit chilly, not not horribly so, but enough that you wouldnt want to wear a tshirt and shorts.

Rylah says to the group that remains "So, who is taking me to the Medical facilities. I have some portable medical gear with me, but most of my stuff is in the ship still. I want to get a good check at what we need, and do an examination of the two pregnant ladies before we send for the medical gear. We should be able to wait until the rain has subsided though."

The rest of the troops wait for Trustrum to give further orders. most are just standing relaxed though, as most of them really have nothing better to be doing.

Tiny keeps attempts to keep himself busy by doing the lion's share of the hauling and carrying and keeping an eye on Hrar but finds there is very little in the way of supplies to move. With nothing else to do he heads for the food storage areas to take care of his prodigious appetite.

Tiny nods "No problem, I could uffe ffome food." and easily hefts the cumbersome equipment.

"No problem, I could use some food."

"I used to lick moss off cave walls to live, taste isn't important."
