SPEAKER_07 0:00

Hey everyone, thanks for listening to Star Wars Empire Wreckers, the Star Wars actual play podcast that is selling their plasma to make up for the cost of living in their location. Who's ready to pay a princely sum for blood today?

SPEAKER_03 0:17

Calluset's ready to pay a princely sum for blood, and like honestly, if you'll take out the blood that's all infected with this evil spirit, I'll pay you for it.

SPEAKER_08 0:27

Uh allo, Je Mapel Crescent, and uh I will gladly uh give some of my bodily fluids away, and I mean any of my bodily fluids away, if you just ask. Uh plus tax.

SPEAKER_09 0:45

Starzan may have not mentioned this in some time, but Starzan is unable to share any of Star Zan's bodily fluids. If someone were to obtain Starzan's fluids, they could be used to procreate or clone Star Zan, which would lead to a conflict of who is the leader of his people back on the planet Edgar Ice. I knew something was missing.

SPEAKER_00 1:17

And Deliria does not need to donate bodily fluids because she does not buy anything and lived in a church most of her life.

SPEAKER_07 1:26

It's been a while since we bought anything. And if you want to live in a church, why don't you come along with us to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away in Star Wars! Escape from near death! In exchange for the temporary housing of hundreds of carbonite frozen prisoners stolen from the ISB, the Empire Wreckers agreed to engage in an assassination mission for the nefarious Darth Maul. Ordered to kill the bodyguards of the crime lord Faru, the former Imperial Knights traveled to the Moon of Onderon and engaged the notorious mercenaries Previsla and Asaj Ventris. At the brink of defeat, a mysterious entity lurking within Caluset's soul took control of her body, destroying those who threatened what it perceived to be its new children.

SPEAKER_04 2:11

My babies.

SPEAKER_07 2:12

So you had an event, you had an encounter. Had an episode. You had a an episode, uh, you've accumulated altogether six critical injuries between the four of you.

SPEAKER_08 2:24

I would like I would like to s uh skip an episode so that we can survive in a backdo tank.

SPEAKER_03 2:30

Yeah, do we do we have any uh medical setup back at our base? Back at your base?

SPEAKER_07 2:36

Uh, probably because it's an abandoned ancient city. There's probably a hospital or a clinic in the uh residential areas, but you have uh a couple of silos worth of prisoners and also Zin back on Lotho Minor.

SPEAKER_03 2:51

Oh yeah, we gotta go pick them up first. Then we'll go back to the base and have a soak.

SPEAKER_08 2:56

And then we're just gonna uh then we're just gonna submerge and medical jelly.

SPEAKER_07 3:01

You can uh return to Lotho Minor where Zin is finishing up her customizations, her repairs to the hasty harpy, tuning it the way she likes. It seems that she has decided this this is her ship now and that the droid cleaver will also belong to her.

SPEAKER_03 3:19

Oh, and you can just start calling her mommy instead. Since you're daddy and everything, Chris.

SPEAKER_07 3:24

Yeah, as you touch down and and exit the clandestine crow cleaver, he sees you and he says, Welcome back, Daddy! Daddy, welcome back!

SPEAKER_03 3:32

Daddy has nothing to say to you, Cleaver!

SPEAKER_09 3:34

Dad Daddy's been through some shit.

SPEAKER_08 3:37

I have had a uh uh a day. Uh I I'm I may need it quite a few alcoholic drinks. It is don't you don't need to worry about uh you don't need to worry about me, just uh chill chill out for a bit.

SPEAKER_07 3:52

Yes, daddy, I will chill. I will lower my core temperature.

SPEAKER_03 3:56

Uh is that the sound of the core temperature lowering?

SPEAKER_07 4:03

Yeah, the the uh refrigeration unit on his CPU it is really grindy when it activates. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_08 4:10

Is he actually getting colder?

SPEAKER_07 4:12

Uh if you had thermal goggles, uh, which I think you guys actually do have thermal goggles, uh yeah, you can see he's uh getting colder.

SPEAKER_03 4:20

Oh, you say you need an alcoholic drink, put a drink on him.

SPEAKER_08 4:23

Can can I can I put uh him against my head like an ice pack or something?

SPEAKER_07 4:28

Yeah, the cool metal soothes you. Oh fuck yeah, dog.

SPEAKER_03 4:36

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_08 4:38

You guys go, you guys want to hit it this shit?

SPEAKER_03 4:41

Sure, I'll rest I'll I'll put my forehead on uh cleaver makes us all feel better.

SPEAKER_08 4:48

We're all j we're all just like heads heads in, just like oh yeah. Oh fuck.

SPEAKER_03 4:54

We've all had such a day, man.

SPEAKER_07 4:56

Oh man. You can you can put your heads on the cool droid, and Maul exits the crashed ship that is his base.

SPEAKER_06 5:03

And he says, I take it you have dispatched for rules guards.

SPEAKER_03 5:08

Yeah, it's done.

SPEAKER_06 5:10

Good.

SPEAKER_03 5:10

You have a chance to look at these things, these people.

SPEAKER_06 5:13

I have to decide which one I selected the one that I'm going to keep for myself, and Zin has told me that she has a place for you to take the rest.

SPEAKER_03 5:23

Not a base. Oh, uh no, because you uh oh, the ones that we don't want, Zen.

SPEAKER_07 5:28

Well, yes, there are some. You mentioned uh I overheard you talking about Organa, the senator.

SPEAKER_04 5:34

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_07 5:35

Well I have we can't just drop people off on Elder, and he's under watch. But I know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody who knows him.

SPEAKER_04 5:43

Oh, okay. So you can entice him.

SPEAKER_08 5:45

Can you go through can you go through the the entire line of the people that you know so we can decide whether or not they are trustworthy? Uh don't worry, they're trustworthy. Okay. And I tap my nose. Ow, ow.

SPEAKER_07 5:58

And it's a place, by the looks of things, that has uh good medical facilities that you will be able to take advantage of, I hope.

SPEAKER_04 6:06

Oh, okay. That's good. Because I was uh I was hoping we'd be able to go have a little back to soak. Um, yeah, where where are they gonna be meeting us?

SPEAKER_07 6:13

Uh say asteroid called Polusmasa. Polusmassa. Yeah, would we know what that is?

SPEAKER_00 6:23

I have lore.

SPEAKER_07 6:24

One success, one threat. One failure, three threats. Um nope.

SPEAKER_03 6:28

Total wash.

SPEAKER_00 6:29

Wait, how many of you guys?

SPEAKER_03 6:31

Three purple lore or outer rim.

SPEAKER_00 6:33

One success to advantage.

SPEAKER_03 6:36

What's in your mouth? Did you just bite it?

SPEAKER_00 6:41

Garlic stuff. How is how many olives? One. It just has an entire club of garlic inside of it.

SPEAKER_07 6:48

Oh fuck. So those of you who have heard of Polus Masa, Starzan, and Illyria, um, you know that it is so you would have come across Polis Massa in your time with the Jedi Service Corps. Uh it is a planet that was destroyed uh very, very long ago, and its people uh were eliminated, and it was kind of an archaeological curiosity. Um, and Illyria, you know the most about it that on one of the larger asteroids, uh, a a group of uh archaeologists belonging to the Kalidahin species kind of set up an outpost there to attempt to uh dig up anything they can from the society that used to live there, and if possible, find any potentially preserved organic matter that could help to clone the uh flora and fauna that used to exist on that planet. So, since they're interested in cloning, they probably have very good medical facilities, both to heal your injuries and potentially to safely thaw any prisoners that you might want to talk to face to face.

SPEAKER_03 8:05

So we can get uh severance out there at least.

SPEAKER_00 8:08

What if we want to talk to them?

SPEAKER_07 8:10

And you got those uh advantages. So you know that the Khalida him they can be trusted because uh they don't talk to anyone on account of they have no mouths.

SPEAKER_03 8:19

Ugh.

SPEAKER_00 8:20

What if we want to talk to them ass to ass?

SPEAKER_07 8:22

Maybe Starzan's trying to say I I almost played one of these. Hell yeah. Well, Starzan, you've heard, and it's threat, so it might not be true. There's a 50-50 chance that it's true or not. Uh, because uh if you looked it up on the Wikipedia, you would see conflicting information about it. Uh, that there may or may not be within that uh asteroid field of the destroyed planet a space station where the Haxian brood has uh gladiator fight pits. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:54

You want to go to a gladiator fight pit?

SPEAKER_09 8:56

Does Starzan wanna go to a gladiator fight pit? I feel like yes.

SPEAKER_03 9:00

It is kind of uh a question that answers itself, I guess.

SPEAKER_09 9:04

That's that's where he's a Viking.

SPEAKER_08 9:06

This does feel like it'll become uh with this plotline, it'll also become a Starzan centered episode.

SPEAKER_07 9:12

But again, it's that's threat, so there's a 50-50 chance, uh, depending on which reference source uh I'm choosing is correct here, and that'll probably depend on what you guys roll.

SPEAKER_09 9:20

Starzan may have made that part up himself in his mind.

SPEAKER_03 9:24

Starzan may just be hoping. And praying, and pushing, and praying, and laughing. Okay. Okay, but uh yeah, your contact's gonna meet us there, and um, once we get anyone else that we want out, they'll take the rest to uh to Alderon.

SPEAKER_07 9:38

Yes, and they should be able to uh keep keep them safe.

SPEAKER_03 9:42

Okay, that's good.

SPEAKER_04 9:43

But um, Mal, you uh you picked out the one that you're wanting to keep. You didn't unthaw them, right?

SPEAKER_06 9:48

You were still uh I have kept my word.

SPEAKER_04 9:50

Oh great, thank you. Okay, who who are you looking at?

SPEAKER_07 9:54

And he kind of raises his hand, raises his fingers up, and a couple of droids come out of the crashed ship pushing a uh a hovering carbonite slab, and they you can see as they push it over, uh, that it is a seems to be a human or near human man in his mid to late twenties. He doesn't seem to be too uh unique looking. He's just a guy, but he's got he does have like a little sort of like semicircle scar on his cheek.

SPEAKER_06 10:25

And uh Moll says, uh This is Xanatos Kryha, the son of a senator from Telos.

SPEAKER_03 10:34

Would we know uh anyone would we know anything about them?

SPEAKER_07 10:38

Um maybe. I mean he could just tell you.

SPEAKER_03 10:41

Yeah, sure. Yeah, what do you say the name was?

SPEAKER_06 10:45

Xanatos. He was the first apprentice of a Jedi by the name of Qui-Gon Jin. Oh a failed apprentice. He turned to the dark side, and the Republic acquired him and used him. I feel it would be appropriate to destroy Kenobi with a weapon that his own master failed to tame.

SPEAKER_08 11:10

Can we uh We should have a uh okay?

SPEAKER_04 11:16

Yeah just just to confirm, I I know that you got you got your beef with Kenobi, but um I feel like all of us kinda need to make sure we have a focus on the Empire first, at least.

SPEAKER_06 11:27

Don't worry, Xanatos was betrayed by the Republic. He will serve me adequately.

SPEAKER_03 11:33

Uh perception. Is he gonna is he gonna take this guy and just go rogue and go on a Kenobi hunt and not be of any help to us at all?

SPEAKER_07 11:44

Um, if you think he's lying, that'll be a perception against three reds and a purple.

SPEAKER_03 11:49

Ugh.

SPEAKER_07 11:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 11:50

Like, technically it's evenly matched. My perception's pretty decent. And I got a blue, too. We'll see. Ooh, one success, one threat.

SPEAKER_07 11:59

So you can see that, like, he does want to hunt down Kenobi. He does want to use this guy. Like, this is why he chose him. But Maul is also looking to amass power and the son of like a an imperial senator. Um, that is also a good way to get information about the Empire. So there's probably grudge involved. Um, if Maul ever gets the chance to uh attack Kenobi, it'll probably derail anything else that's going on. But as long as Kenobi is out of his reach, then he'll likely continue trying to amass power to thwart Palpatine.

SPEAKER_03 12:40

Okay. I feel like that's probably fine. Like we don't know where Kenobi is right now, and um, maybe just let's let's just not look too hard into it.

SPEAKER_08 12:49

We'll deal with this we'll we'll hopefully we can deal with uh with whatever uh Maul has in store for Kenobi later.

SPEAKER_03 12:58

Yeah, let that sounds like a next season problem.

SPEAKER_08 13:01

Well, no, I feel like we're gonna be dealing with that sooner rather than later. But until then, yes.

SPEAKER_03 13:06

That's a next season problem.

SPEAKER_08 13:10

That's a next season problem.

SPEAKER_03 13:12

That I don't need to be worrying about that right now.

SPEAKER_08 13:16

We don't need to be worrying about that.

SPEAKER_03 13:19

Yeah, I think that sounds fine. Uh Xanatos is all yours, Maul.

SPEAKER_06 13:23

Of course he is.

SPEAKER_03 13:24

Yeah yeah, never mind. Never mind. I'm glad that we are all treating each other with civility. Anyway, Zen. Let's load up these people. You can uh lead the way to your contact.

SPEAKER_07 13:36

Yes. Let's just uh load up. Chris, are you going to ride with me and the boy?

SPEAKER_03 13:41

Oh, is your son? Your cold son that you're pressing on your forehead.

SPEAKER_08 13:46

Well, uh, I guess he's coming with me anyway, so uh come here, slugger. Let's go uh let's go for a ride. So you can uh board the hasty harpy with Zin.

SPEAKER_07 13:55

Is anybody else going in the hasty harpy? Are you gonna give them their their alone?

SPEAKER_08 13:59

We're not gonna be fucking in there.

SPEAKER_03 14:00

Uh won't you? It's been so long since you've seen her.

SPEAKER_08 14:04

Well, yeah, but like, you know, we're I'm not gonna fuck in front of the robot. It's a robot, Chris. I didn't stop you with its old mommy. Also, I'm suffering from so many uh so many injuries.

SPEAKER_07 14:17

Sorry, babe, I gotta close my chat GPT window.

SPEAKER_03 14:22

I'll watch uh Chris and and Zen going up the ramp with the robot. I'll just like never really thought I'd see the day that Chris settled down. And look, he's like a regular family man now.

SPEAKER_08 14:34

Anyways, next I'm gonna feed you a beer so you can so you can pour it in me from your body.

SPEAKER_03 14:39

To the robot? Maybe it's best that Chris isn't a parent. You think other rest of us going on the crow then?

SPEAKER_07 14:49

Yes. So many new kinds of smells are gonna be coming out of that ship.

SPEAKER_03 14:52

Ugh. Is that a polis massa?

SPEAKER_07 14:55

Yeah, so if you want to uh astrogate there, it is inside um a asteroid field that used to be a planet. So to get to the outpost, you're gonna need to navigate around that. So it'll be a three purple and a black astrogation.

SPEAKER_03 15:10

Oh yeah, I guess we'd both uh like our both our ships would need to astrogate too. Or could just Illyria astrogate and then uh Illyria can, and then we'll see how Zin does based on that.

SPEAKER_07 15:19

Like, if anything, it'd probably follow, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:22

I can take off a black nail because I bought something. Uh one triumph, one thread.

SPEAKER_07 15:27

Ooh.

SPEAKER_03 15:28

And you got a triumph! Yay!

SPEAKER_07 15:31

So you're trying to get to the base.

SPEAKER_03 15:33

We end up at the fight pits, we end up at the gladiator rings, we still got six uh crits between us.

SPEAKER_07 15:40

Yeah, so you can uh lock lock on, try and get to Polos Massa, think there's a base there. Zinn gives you the coordinates, it's like just find like a big, the biggest asteroid. You think you found it, uh, and you can plot a course, but as you drop out of hyperspace, you see, oh yeah, there's that big asteroid with an outpost. Um, but as you get closer and closer to it, rather than a sterile 2001 style uh lunar uh base, a scientific archaeological expedition, you see lodged into this asteroid um a lot of a lot of angry red lights.

SPEAKER_03 16:23

Oh no. Once we uh kind of see the red lights, is there any way to be like, oop, and like let's look for the actual base and not land there?

SPEAKER_07 16:32

Uh yeah, so that would probably be a a piloting then to navigate through the asteroid field to try and get to the actual outpost rather than this uh bounty hunter fight pit. Okay. That would probably be a uh three purple and a black.

SPEAKER_03 16:47

Three purple and a black for piloting. Yeah. Oh no, what failure, one threat. Do I have anything that lets me re-roll piloting? Hold on. Oh man, I was just like, do we have any destiny points? Maybe I should flip one, but I'm like, nah, it'll be fine.

SPEAKER_08 17:01

Famous last words, of course.

SPEAKER_07 17:03

Nah. You're trying to like bob and weave around these asteroids, but like this asteroid field is pretty densely packed, and you do get hit a couple of times. Uh, not by anything huge, but enough that there are these like clouds of dust that are flying out from your ship. And Zin on her control, she looks at her computer, uh, and she says, uh, like you can see out the window, Chris, how Cal is piloting through this asteroid field. And Zen says, Oh, if she keeps flying like that, she's going to attract some attention.

SPEAKER_03 17:40

Uh god, do I want to take my last dose of impact and try again?

SPEAKER_08 17:44

I call I call over to you to you, I'm like, uh, are you okay over Zen? Do you need uh uh do you need do you need uh uh comforting or something? Starzan, go comforter.

SPEAKER_03 17:55

You rub my shoulders. There they're there there. God, there. Would would I have time to do my last dose of impact and try again?

SPEAKER_09 18:05

Uh, sure. Can can uh Starzan's being comforting add a blue?

SPEAKER_03 18:10

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_09 18:10

To her taking impact? It's not your fault.

SPEAKER_07 18:15

I'll give you a depthly point.

SPEAKER_00 18:17

How is it administered? Do you have to like shoot up? Can he can he tie you up for you or whatever it is?

SPEAKER_03 18:24

Find the vein.

SPEAKER_09 18:27

Starzan has been very good at finding veins.

SPEAKER_03 18:29

Ooh, that's so bascula. Okay, upgrade the ability. Nice snort. I I I'm I'll snort some. Add a blue from Starzan, upgrade my ability.

SPEAKER_07 18:42

I'll give you Dusty point, so it'll be a red, two purple, and a black.

SPEAKER_03 18:45

Red, two, purple, and a black, okay.

SPEAKER_00 18:47

It lines it up on his bicep for you to snort.

SPEAKER_03 18:51

Thanks, Starzan. Ooh, do we have any dusty?

SPEAKER_04 18:54

Yeah, you have four.

SPEAKER_03 18:55

Dang, really? You know what? I'm gonna flip one. I I'm gonna I'm gonna be so embarrassed if I goof it again.

SPEAKER_08 19:02

Don't goof it.

SPEAKER_03 19:02

Oh my god, two success to advantage for five years. Okay, you're you're fine.

SPEAKER_07 19:06

You can you can recover just a small just a small accident, no, no problem. With the power of drugs, you can regain control of your ship. With the power of drugs!

SPEAKER_03 19:17

That was my last dose. Meditation a bust from this point out. Or if I can get some more from someone, who knows?

SPEAKER_07 19:25

Uh, you did get to advantage. You may be able to find one more dose, like, in between like the seat cushions.

SPEAKER_03 19:31

Oh, nice, I forgot about that down there.

SPEAKER_09 19:33

That's just some sloppy dosage then.

SPEAKER_03 19:37

Look.

SPEAKER_09 19:37

Every drop is precious.

SPEAKER_03 19:39

I know, and that's why I found it again. Let me add a dose back into my inventory. Okay, cool. So I'm gonna be messed up for my for all my checks for the for the rest of the day, but uh well, good thing you're going to a place with a hospital. Uh, thank goodness. Maybe they just got to go.

SPEAKER_07 19:56

Where nobody will be able to suss you out. So you can bring your ship. Uh, Chris Zin signals a uh secret signal to the base, and a hangar bay opens, and both of your ships can set down in it. And you see in the base at the landing platform is a G9 rigger, a beat-up looking freighter. And you can set your ships down. And you see that there are two people uh that are kind of waiting for you by the ship. Uh but you recognize both of them. Oh uh one of them is a young Tagruda woman.

SPEAKER_03 20:40

Oh.

SPEAKER_07 20:41

Who you parted with uh on okay terms last time you saw her. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 20:47

Yeah, friendly-ish.

SPEAKER_07 20:49

Fri friendly-ish Ahsoka. And with her, you have to do a double take. Because, like, from the distance that you're at in the ship, you think, wait a minute, is that? No, that it couldn't be. There's no reason for her to be here. But then you're like, wait, no, she does look slightly different. She looks like she was made at the same factory, but a different model. It's a woman who looks astonishingly like Darth Vader's ex-wife. Wearing pink or black? Wearing a uh a jumpsuit, a maroon jumpsuit.

SPEAKER_09 21:25

My mind.

SPEAKER_03 21:26

Yeah, I was wondering what your mind was going to.

SPEAKER_09 21:29

Lady Darth Vader costume. With the boots.

SPEAKER_08 21:36

I'm not gonna lie, that crossed my mind for a split second. Just a split second before I'm like, all right, I'm done.

SPEAKER_03 21:43

Like, wow, that looks like Darth Vader and Drag.

SPEAKER_07 21:47

No, it wasn't a sketch from the Peter Seraphinewitz show.

SPEAKER_03 21:52

I remember that. Anyway, so Yeah, but not Amadala. Is this uh one of her body doubles?

SPEAKER_07 21:59

Uh well, do you Do you leave the ship?

SPEAKER_03 22:01

Yeah, I will leave the ship.

SPEAKER_07 22:02

I can leave the ship, you're high as fuck. Uh you see you're high as fuck. A couple of these uh Kaleidahin coming to sort of like refuel your vessel, uh doing standard, you know, arrival checks. And they have they're these spindly creatures with these uh these faces that look like um like a little bit like uh a snowy owl with no beak, just these like blank white faces with these black dot eyes, just fleshy mask, no nose, no mouth. Is it a ditto?

SPEAKER_03 22:40

Fucking high ass cala sees these guys coming and she's like, ah what is that?

SPEAKER_07 22:45

And uh you're high, you're high as fuck. So uh you as they approach you're like, hey man, are you okay? You hear them talking in your brain.

SPEAKER_00 22:58

What everyone knows you're high.

SPEAKER_03 23:01

Oh no, everyone knows I'm high!

SPEAKER_08 23:04

You're disappointing us again.

SPEAKER_03 23:07

Oh god, is this?

SPEAKER_08 23:09

What if this is forever?

SPEAKER_03 23:11

Does this mean that does this mean it's true that everyone could read minds except me? And they're all reading my mind all the time.

SPEAKER_08 23:19

Especially not you.

SPEAKER_03 23:21

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00 23:22

The devil's here.

SPEAKER_03 23:28

Gus sits down on the floor and starts cradling her head, just like, oh god, get him out. I got enough things in my brain already.

SPEAKER_09 23:36

He brought wine coolers.

SPEAKER_03 23:39

Ameloth, stop talking to me about wine coolers! Every day you're doing this!

SPEAKER_08 23:46

Every day with the wine coolers.

SPEAKER_03 23:49

Yeah, Kella's having a bad trip now. I'm having a bad time.

SPEAKER_09 23:53

It's been a bad day.

SPEAKER_03 23:55

Please don't take pictures. This this is Ahsoka's uh first sight of us, me coming down, crouching on the ground and rocking and holding my head. They're brave saviors of the galaxy. So someone else is gonna have to take this.

SPEAKER_07 24:13

Zinn kinda comes out and she goes, she kinda quickly walks ahead and she talks to the two of them. She points back to you guys and sort of uh lays everything out. And the human woman, who looks like Darth Vader's ex-wife, uh comes up to you and she says, Hello, I've heard a few things about you. You're the the rogue knights that are fighting against the Empire now.

SPEAKER_09 24:37

In a manner of speaking.

SPEAKER_00 24:39

Can you read my mind too? How has the news gotten away from us? Aren't we supposed to be rogue? Aren't we supposed to be a little bit more?

SPEAKER_09 24:46

Is there any way we can check to see if this is Padme or if it's Kira Knightley or Are you Darth Vader's ex-wife? Rose Byrne.

SPEAKER_00 24:53

Am I sure that I've seen her leaving Anakin's room at two in the morning?

SPEAKER_07 24:57

Yeah. Well, she says, Whatever you are calling yourselves, we're glad to have you in the fight. My name is Sabe. Ah. Would we know her? Probably not. If you want to, it would be like a pretty difficult knowledge rule. I'm probably good, not needing to.

SPEAKER_03 25:11

Yeah, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm not I'm too occupied. I'm not thinking about that.

SPEAKER_08 25:16

Yeah. No offense, but she is unimportant.

SPEAKER_00 25:18

Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me.

SPEAKER_07 25:22

Actually, I'm gonna say four purple and a blue. You know what? No. We'll call it a either uh a knowledge or perception rule.

SPEAKER_00 25:32

Oh it has to be knowledge. Oh my god, it has to be knowledge.

SPEAKER_07 25:35

Yeah, you can choose one or the other. Um four purple and a blue, knowledge or perception. And the knowledge would be uh probably core worlds.

SPEAKER_00 25:44

Four purple and a blue?

SPEAKER_07 25:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 25:46

One success to advantage.

SPEAKER_07 25:47

Illyria, so you got success. You've heard of Sabe. You would have kind of known what happened during the Battle of Naboo, especially once you guys started hanging out with Darth Vader more. That she was the uh body double of uh Padme Amadala, the senator from Naboo. Ooh. And you got those advantages, and you uh remember hearing once or twice Vader saying that he doesn't like he specifically does not like her.

SPEAKER_03 26:21

Oh. Do you know why?

SPEAKER_07 26:24

I don't think he would have gone into that much detail.

SPEAKER_03 26:26

He's gonna be like, why doesn't Vader like you?

SPEAKER_07 26:29

Huh?

SPEAKER_03 26:30

What? No, not me, not me. I think Elyria might be reading in my mind and getting some of her thoughts projected into my brain. Yeah, I can get it. I can hear so much.

SPEAKER_00 26:40

I said, I said, uh, this bitch.

SPEAKER_03 26:42

Oh, god, I know, I know you always thinking that. I knew it! I knew it this entire time.

SPEAKER_07 26:47

Oh, I can guess.

SPEAKER_00 26:49

No, it's fine. We're not friends with him. An enemy of him is an enemy of us. Oh, I wouldn't say TDH.

SPEAKER_07 26:57

These days I would say we're enemies, but I I guess in a sense, uh the reason I'm here has entirely to do with him. What do you mean? Uh well, since you seem to be familiar with me, after uh Padme's service as Queen ended. I continued to serve her, and when the war broke out, uh she assigned me to investigating slaves on Tatooine to try and figure out ways to shuttle them off world. And I didn't really understand why until uh and this is this is canonical, mind you, this actually happened.

SPEAKER_03 27:32

Until one night when you say What do you mean by that? Yeah. What do you mean by that?

SPEAKER_07 27:36

Well, Padme had to go on a mission one time. Uh very important secret mission, so she asked me to fill in for her in the Senate. I hadn't done it in a while, but uh I was used to it. I've been her before. And one night when I was in her bed in her nightgown in her apartment, I heard somebody enter the room. Wait, did you wear her nightgown? Somebody well, yes, I had to pretend to be her entirely. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 28:00

Yeah, she's on the job, she's a professional.

SPEAKER_07 28:02

I I mean, I guess it just feels um anyways, no. Somebody came into the room as if he'd come into the room hundreds of times before he knew how to deactivate the local security. And he got into the bed. Uh and I wasn't the person that he was expecting to find. Uh nothing happened, nothing happened.

SPEAKER_03 28:27

He just was very put up.

SPEAKER_07 28:30

I made him sleep on the couch.

SPEAKER_03 28:32

You have your word for in the same room, where else was he gonna sleep?

SPEAKER_08 28:35

What what did you say? And in exact exactly what tone of voice did you say it in? I need you to repeat that to me.

SPEAKER_07 28:42

Well, I remember that he uh kind of shook me awake. I was trying to sleep, but I was pretending to be asleep.

SPEAKER_10 28:49

Did you say, go to ouch, uh, go to the uh go go to the couch. I'm uh I want to be alone tonight. I'm on my period. I'm on my period.

SPEAKER_00 28:59

Why do we sound like vampires?

SPEAKER_08 29:02

It's my it's my vaguely European. It's my vag it's my vaguely European accent. I understand.

SPEAKER_00 29:08

I'm on my period. I am on my period. Don't touch me.

SPEAKER_08 29:15

Don't touch. No, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03 29:17

Don't touch me, I'm gross.

SPEAKER_07 29:19

I pulled a gun on him, he threw it out. It was this whole thing up it the droid settled things. The droid knew him. Who uh fucking who is he then?

SPEAKER_03 29:29

Anakin. Anakin.

SPEAKER_07 29:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 29:32

You didn't get that? Chris, I'm I'm I'm not doing that.

SPEAKER_07 29:35

Well, to be fair, I didn't understand at first either until the next morning I found out I mentioned it to Dorme, another one of uh Padme's handmaidens, and she said canonically, Oh, oh shit. I thought you knew.

SPEAKER_00 29:49

So so uh which one of you is played by Karen Knightley?

SPEAKER_07 29:53

I am. Oh, okay, okay. No, this is this all happened in a in a young adult book, by the way.

SPEAKER_00 29:59

Young adult?

SPEAKER_07 30:00

Hold on, how adult? Young young. It happened in a teen book. But anyway, ever since then, uh he hasn't been a fan of me, and I haven't been a fan of his.

SPEAKER_03 30:11

Oh, I guess good. Well, not fanas of his, he, I guess.

SPEAKER_07 30:14

But the work that Padme had me doing eventually expanded, and now I ferry all kinds of people to uh wherever they need to go to get away from oppression.

SPEAKER_03 30:21

How is Padme doing, by the way? Like, you know, Anakin, he spent a lot of time just like staring out a window at her apartment. She's um well.

SPEAKER_07 30:31

She's well? Does that mean well you're Well? Yeah, that's Yeah, is this well or well? Well, she's certainly focused. She has sad enough to die. Oh no. Oh no, far. Don't even joke about it. She has a new purpose in life ever since uh Empire. That's good. Good for her.

SPEAKER_00 30:50

Does she uh want to join the rebellion or who do you think's been organizing it?

SPEAKER_03 30:56

Um Yeah, we're just some clowns that are It hasn't just been.

SPEAKER_08 31:07

But I I feel like if we uh know what everybody's doing, then that gives us a chance to not be in Zivay.

SPEAKER_03 31:15

Well, yeah, but then it's like if anyone knows what everyone else is doing, then all it takes is for like one of us to get captured and tortured, and like, no offense, Chris, but I feel like if you were put under torture, you would fold like a cheap suit.

SPEAKER_08 31:27

Not it.

SPEAKER_03 31:28

Yeah, like I feel like you just crumble.

SPEAKER_08 31:30

I put my nose I might my finger finger on my nose to be like it.

SPEAKER_03 31:34

You can't even lie.

SPEAKER_08 31:35

You would just be listening to you.

SPEAKER_03 31:42

Like you could maybe you could maybe manage to like sleep with your torturer, but then they just like get back up and keep on torturing ya.

SPEAKER_08 31:49

Not not to have to never mind, I'm not gonna go into that conversation.

SPEAKER_03 31:53

They need to get up and keep on torturing you, or they get up and they threaten to kill themselves unless you married them.

SPEAKER_08 31:59

At that point, I would let them kill themselves.

SPEAKER_03 32:04

I you know what I'm not gonna say it. I'm not gonna say it. Not in front of Zinn. You better not. I'm keeping my mouth closed. I'm not that high. It's fine. It's fine. But uh but yeah, you've been uh you've been um helping to to smuggle people who need to get going somewhere, and uh Zinn says might be able to give us a hand with these people we got.

SPEAKER_07 32:24

Well, yes. Uh let's not just call them people, let's just call them cargo.

SPEAKER_04 32:28

Yeah, this cargo.

SPEAKER_07 32:29

Mm-scargo. I know a little bit about this cargo, uh, and I know what kind of medical facilities this place have. You look like you have recently gotten in a bit of trouble yourselves. Are you okay? Do you need medical attention? So much. So very much. Well, the Khalidahin can see to you that they are uh very discreet. And if there's any uh individuals that you would want to oversee personally to look after, then they could probably see to that as well.

SPEAKER_03 32:58

We we wanted to get severance out before we went. There was that other like chiss Jedi that Lalo mentioned was frozen in the silos. Were there any other Jedi in there that we knew of that we want to get out?

SPEAKER_07 33:16

Um, nobody that you recognize. Like there's some people with like M pluses, but you wouldn't really know um if they were M pluses that were Jedi that were in there because they were enemies of the Empire, or M pluses that were in there because the SBI was like using them for something.

SPEAKER_03 33:34

Cause I mean we have Ahsoka here, like, cause she was in the Jedi in a more official capacity than we ever were. Maybe she could take a look and be like, oh, I recognize these people. If she wanted to take a look and see if there are any Jedi that we should be getting out. Ahsoka, good to see you, by the way.

SPEAKER_07 33:49

Yeah, it's uh alright to see you too. Uh I wouldn't say Jedi anymore.

SPEAKER_09 33:57

My tube top days are long behind me. Uh she's s that you know what that was? That was a snip.

SPEAKER_03 34:02

Wait, your wet days are far behind ya?

SPEAKER_07 34:04

My tube top days. My Jedi tube top days.

SPEAKER_03 34:07

Oh, your tube top days. Sorry. Um, you know, when I said it's good to see ya, I uh I I guess I should have said it's it's nothing to see ya, like sorry.

SPEAKER_00 34:16

But you don't remember when we all called her nips growing up?

SPEAKER_03 34:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 34:23

You know, on account of her tube top.

SPEAKER_04 34:25

On account of the tube top.

SPEAKER_08 34:26

On account of the tube top.

SPEAKER_03 34:34

You know, associating with as part of, you know, your network that might have gotten picked up.

SPEAKER_07 34:40

I'll I'll take a look. I'll see if there's anybody that would be uh good to have with us before we depart.

SPEAKER_03 34:45

Okay, yeah, because I think I think that most of us are gonna have to be soaking for a bit anyways, you know.

SPEAKER_09 34:51

We're all gonna have to go for a soaking.

SPEAKER_00 34:55

I thought you meant it in a Mormon way.

unknown 34:57

No.

SPEAKER_03 34:58

That's just Chris.

SPEAKER_09 35:00

Chris is do you think he got a shot a shot with her?

SPEAKER_03 35:05

Can we just go drown in some Bacta, please? I don't even know how many crits I have. I know it's six between us, but I know I got at least two.

SPEAKER_07 35:14

A Bacta tank heals one crit per resilience rule success per 24 hours.

SPEAKER_03 35:21

Okay, well, I mean I got two purples. I could probably do one difficulty ones, right?

SPEAKER_07 35:26

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:27

Do one a day?

SPEAKER_07 35:28

Yeah, okay. So if you want to soak in the Bacta for a day, let uh Ahsoka and Sabe. Who knows, they might even like just leave with the with the cargo.

SPEAKER_03 35:38

Just take everyone without telling us. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 35:41

Bye. Yeah. We thought the ones you thought you'd be interested in, you'd deal with it now. Nah, they'll probably they'll probably stick around. So everybody roll a resilience. Um Chris, you roll two purple, everyone else rolls one. You have three destiny points. I think I'm I think I'm resilient. Let me see.

SPEAKER_08 36:00

See.

SPEAKER_00 36:01

One success.

SPEAKER_03 36:02

Uh oh. My first one I got one advantage.

SPEAKER_08 36:06

Uh I got three success and one threat.

SPEAKER_09 36:10

That is. Uh two success, one advantage, one dark side, three light side.

SPEAKER_07 36:15

Bacta also heals your wound. So you can all heal all of the wound you accumulated as well. It heals uh so if you stay in there a little bit longer than a day, you could probably heal. Uh Chris got some threat. Kala and Starzan, you got some uh advantage. It wouldn't necessarily uh help you here if you stay in long enough to just kind of heal. Um I'll say Kala, you got that advantage.

SPEAKER_03 36:40

Can I add a blue on my next roll?

SPEAKER_07 36:43

Yeah, you can be a little bit refresh, Starzan and Kala. Uh Illyria and Chris, you can both heal your first critical injuries. Kala, you still got yours. Starzan, you can heal yours. And are you come are you coming out after 24 hours?

SPEAKER_03 36:56

I mean, I would like to stay in long enough to at least heal like do one more roll, try for my second one. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 37:03

Me too.

SPEAKER_03 37:04

I got two success on my second one, so I at least heal that one.

SPEAKER_07 37:07

Chris and Illyria, do you want to stay in for two days?

SPEAKER_08 37:10

As much as I can until I'm healed, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:12

Hold down the fort, Starzan.

SPEAKER_03 37:15

Sure.

SPEAKER_09 37:15

Starzan doesn't like being left out.

SPEAKER_03 37:18

Yeah, you clean up the ship.

SPEAKER_09 37:19

Sure.

SPEAKER_03 37:20

Get to know your new brother or nephew. I don't know what the relationship of this robot would be.

SPEAKER_09 37:26

Robot? This is a robot. That's not relationships. It's a robot.

SPEAKER_03 37:30

Look, it calls Chris Daddy. I feel like that implies some sort of relationship to the rest of us.

SPEAKER_09 37:36

Uncle Starzan? Robot can call Starzan Unk.

SPEAKER_03 37:39

Oh god.

SPEAKER_09 37:40

As long as he does not call Unkwashed.

SPEAKER_07 37:46

Kids are mean.

SPEAKER_00 37:47

Am I a chopped unk?

SPEAKER_07 37:51

Yes, that'll be uh one purple crisp for you, it's two. Did any of you use a destiny point before?

SPEAKER_00 37:56

No. I know I didn't. Two success, one thread.

SPEAKER_08 37:59

Uh two failure. Uh two failure, two advantage. I really should flip a destiny for this shit.

SPEAKER_07 38:04

Flip that shit. So Starzan, the day you spend uh on the asteroid without your friends. Oh it's the saddest day of your fucking life. Well, you got Panth star there. Got a like a a moon base.

SPEAKER_00 38:19

It's the best day of his life.

SPEAKER_03 38:21

Finally rid of us for a day. He can just do flips and climb up things unhindered.

SPEAKER_09 38:28

Pumping iron, playing fetch with uh Panther.

SPEAKER_03 38:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 38:32

So Starzan, uh, during that day, you know it's there. Do you want to go earn a bit of money at the fight pits?

SPEAKER_09 38:41

Um, well, I don't see how this could backfire in any way.

SPEAKER_03 38:45

I don't I don't they wouldn't mind if I just took the ship over for a little treat. Worst case worst- Oh wait, I could fly a ship there?

SPEAKER_08 38:53

Well, you could probably you could probably hire somebody to do it.

SPEAKER_09 38:55

Well, there's the uh uh the droid cleaver could probably fly. Yeah, cleaver can take me. Worst case scenario, they have to wait while I spend a day in the pits.

SPEAKER_03 39:05

And then we're like, well, we're waiting for Star Zen anyways. Let's go back in the back.

SPEAKER_09 39:10

Where the fuck did our ship go? So let me try that again. Worst case scenario, they have to wait a day while I spend one in the tanks. There you go.

SPEAKER_03 39:18

And then we can all go back in the tanks just for a little bit. Except for Illyria, and then Elyria has to spend a day by herself, and then she's like, but there are some fight pits over there.

SPEAKER_08 39:28

There's some fight pits Elyria is definitely somebody who would go into the fighting.

SPEAKER_07 39:33

I mean, there's literally an archaeological expedition trying to unearth a lost civilization.

SPEAKER_03 39:37

Ugh man. Yippee! Yippee!

SPEAKER_07 39:41

So wizard.

SPEAKER_03 39:42

Do you Elyria, do you want do you want Chris and I to go back in the back to and make one more try for our last crits so you can go and duel around the archaeological dink for a little bit?

SPEAKER_00 39:53

Hell yeah.

unknown 39:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 39:55

Well, we'll we'll see what happens when uh Starzan.

SPEAKER_03 40:01

If he needs to go Four crits, eh? Wow.

SPEAKER_07 40:05

Wow. Four crits and you lost all your money, huh? So Cleaver uh can fly you. He says, Where to, Unk?

SPEAKER_09 40:16

Uh fighting crits.

SPEAKER_07 40:18

Alright, Unk. Straight there. You're regretting that now, aren't you? Well, you are his uncle, kind of. Yeah. He flies you through the asteroid belt to uh Ordo Aeris is the name of the asteroid. And you can get there, and there are uh gladiators and fighters, big muscly people, wiry techno people, uh aliens and creatures with weapons and fists and feet and claws and teeth, and any kind of thing you would want to fight, they'll put a price on it.

unknown 40:50

Nice.

SPEAKER_07 40:51

And they have a they have a they have a menu.

SPEAKER_08 40:53

They've got different kinds, they've got like uh Is Is there a menu where uh you can bet on somebody fucking a crocodile? Um very uh uh Celtic water looking motherfucker.

SPEAKER_09 41:09

What is the bet?

SPEAKER_08 41:10

Does the alligator be that uh the alligator will fuck you or the you will fuck the alligator, I think. Who's the bottom?

SPEAKER_03 41:22

Would you bottom for an alligator, Star Sand?

SPEAKER_09 41:27

I guess that's what happens if you lose the fight. I don't know. You get bottomed by an alligator. He's not gonna be.

SPEAKER_03 41:46

Oh, ooh, ooh.

SPEAKER_07 41:48

Hell yeah. Where they have uh an extra incentive to get you.

SPEAKER_03 41:52

So no matter who loses, you win. Do you?

SPEAKER_08 41:57

There's some bad people some bad people that uh go in there. They go in.

SPEAKER_03 42:02

This is the bad place.

SPEAKER_09 42:04

This is the bad place. Tarzan will take on all comers. You'll take on all the comers.

SPEAKER_07 42:09

Is there a particular type of uh individual or beast you'd like to fight to make money on? The the tougher, the tougher the opponent, the more money you get.

SPEAKER_09 42:18

First of all, this is an important question. Should I maybe not use my lightsaber?

SPEAKER_03 42:23

Maybe not if this is like an illegal gladiator raid.

SPEAKER_09 42:27

Yeah, it is still a sword, so I can just use it as a sword.

SPEAKER_03 42:29

You can't just use it as a sword.

SPEAKER_09 42:31

I don't think I have any extra ability to fight beasts. Unless I can tame it. Is there like a tag?

SPEAKER_03 42:36

No one's gonna have no one's gonna have their money on that. No one wins the fight, but the person is a big thing.

SPEAKER_07 42:45

There's a manimal category.

SPEAKER_02 42:47

Ooh.

SPEAKER_07 42:48

I'm fucking into this. It's uh it's where people uh it's c it's almost like uh more of like a dog show, but like a violent dog show where it's like the uh the trainer and the beast fight side by side.

SPEAKER_03 43:02

See, you see I I know it's not the same, but you say like a violent dog show, and I'm thinking like, you know, like in uh cat shows where they always do the things where they like lift up the cat and show off the long body, and I'm just imagining Starzang going with Pant Star and lifting up Panthestar and stretching him out like a taco.

SPEAKER_09 43:24

Maybe I should just do have you never seen it. Maybe I should just do one-on-one. Actually, you know what? I haven't fought a beast in a while. Let me fight a beast by myself. Panthar can be my like my corner man, my Rocky.

SPEAKER_08 43:35

Cornerman? You're you mean you're uh not Adrian, uh Mickey? Or my Mickey. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 43:40

Panthers gonna be there to splash water in your face.

SPEAKER_07 43:43

Hell yeah. What what kind of uh what kind of odds do you want for this fight? Mmm. To the death will uh will increase uh the payout. Uh a stronger opponent will increase the payout.

SPEAKER_09 43:56

Probably shouldn't do the death after last episode.

SPEAKER_03 43:59

I mean you're all Healed up.

SPEAKER_09 44:00

Yeah, but I could die, which would not be great. I mean You guys would be all be like, you all come out of your cones and you're like, where's Where's Starzan? Where's Starzan? Where's our ship? Where's that guy?

SPEAKER_03 44:12

Yeah, we go in and it's just like, okay, we just need a new kidney. We'll see you when we come out, Starzan. Who do you think gave you the kidney?

SPEAKER_09 44:24

The beast that killed him gave it to.

SPEAKER_04 44:27

Where do you think Starzan got the kidney?

SPEAKER_09 44:29

I will fight a stronger beast. That seems like a Starzan thing to do. Or perhaps a is there- is there a skeletal man with a sword in all purple? Uh I should say a buff man with a skull face, not not skeletal. That depends on how you define skeletal and man. Skeletor? Skeletal doesn't make it sound like I mean I mean like bony and frail. I mean like.

SPEAKER_03 44:52

A weirdly muscular skeletal.

SPEAKER_09 44:54

A weirdly muscular skeleton with a hood who has an evil laugh.

SPEAKER_07 44:58

Um well that that probably wouldn't be a beast, uh, but if you're looking in the beast, they do have something that is seems very skeletal and is like the hologram of it is it's like surrounded by these shimmering robes. They say its name is Well, that'll be the sound it makes when I kill it.

SPEAKER_09 45:18

Just No, we can't spell it. It makes the sound Starzan make when trying to uh defrost window with hand.

SPEAKER_07 45:26

It's probably the closest to a skeletal man that's in there. Sure. I'll take on. So for this one, the uh the payout is going to be two times whatever you put in. Hmm. If you win. One dot though.

SPEAKER_09 45:42

Wow, two dollars. Should I put in like a thousand credits? Oh, come on.

SPEAKER_03 45:49

Go higher than that. Your money, man, whatever you want. We're so say anything.

SPEAKER_08 45:57

We're we're chilling, we're chillin' in the tanks. You can't hear us, so Twenty thousand.

SPEAKER_07 46:02

Twenty five thousand. Holy shit! So you stand to make fifty thousand? Nice. You can slam it down, and the uh the person behind the uh the grate at the at the booth takes your money and says looks up and down, sees your big and says, uh good luck, meat man. Are you about to fight a rock monster?

SPEAKER_08 46:23

Pretty meaty.

SPEAKER_09 46:25

What did he mean by that?

SPEAKER_03 46:27

This is gonna be your meat cute! Oh you fall in love with the skeleton.

SPEAKER_09 46:31

Is he gonna steal my meat? Starzan is very uh anti that for a season and a half at least. For most obvious reasons.

SPEAKER_03 46:39

Well, if you lose, he'll have beat your meat.

SPEAKER_09 46:41

Oh no. Can we get back to soaking?

SPEAKER_02 46:47

Nah.

SPEAKER_07 46:48

Okay. Anyways. So uh you can enter the the the arena itself, and the announcer announce What do you give them a fake name or do you go by your real name? Uh Twercules.

SPEAKER_03 47:02

Oh man, I heard this guy caused a riot on Coruscant.

SPEAKER_07 47:06

Yeah, if Bruce Campbell fell, says, What's your name, kid? Twercules. Oh, that sucks. And he goes out and he says, We have a new challenger today here on Ordo Aeris. Somebody who has ventured from parts unknown to face our menagerie of strange and erotic beasts. Sorry, exotic beasts. Entering at uh seven one? Jesus, how big is Starfleet? He's kind of big. I think it's good.

SPEAKER_00 47:39

Two inches larger than dunk from dunk and egg. Yeah. Anyways.

SPEAKER_07 47:44

He's gotten taller. Yeah, this guy's not too tall. He's hard of judging heights. And uh let's say 16 apples tall. He's big, he's broad, he's twerkilling! And the crowd uh goes mild for you.

SPEAKER_08 48:07

We're cheering in our back to tanks on another planet.

SPEAKER_03 48:11

Yeah, we just feel like we're we need to be cheering for something.

SPEAKER_07 48:14

And challenging this mountain of muscle, brains versus brawn, the body versus the spirit from the depths of the unknown. Beyond the veil of reality, we bring you the devastating, the dreadful, the starweird! Oh no, you you started saying beyond the depths of reality. I'm like, oh no, is this a star weird? And this uh thing starts floating up like transmitting through the ground, leaving behind like some kind of odd goop. A floating skeletal, half-corporeal entity with sunken eyes and a tattered flowing robe as if being blown by a wind that uh only it can feel. So, why don't you make a four-purple fear check? Oh boy. What is a f- how do I roll a fear check? Uh disciplined or cool.

SPEAKER_09 49:14

Uh not neither of those is great.

SPEAKER_08 49:18

Can he if he remembers your presence, right?

SPEAKER_03 49:21

Your presence okay?

SPEAKER_08 49:22

If he remembers how cool I am, can that bring him a blue? I don't think that would help in this instance. He is.

SPEAKER_03 49:29

I feel like that would probably bring him a black, being like, oh man, Chrisson would handle this so good.

SPEAKER_00 49:34

Oh man, Chrisson was trying to fuck this ghost.

SPEAKER_03 49:38

What? Chrisson would you Chriss on Mad like just through his unconsciousness, imagine there's a star beard is like, what?

SPEAKER_09 49:49

One success, four threat.

SPEAKER_07 49:52

Oh, okay. So you're not afraid of it, but you got four threat. If you generate three or more threat, you're staggered for the first turn instead. So you cannot perform an action, so it's gonna get to uh rush at you before you can do anything, and then do it again.

SPEAKER_09 50:08

Wait, can I use my uh is that's not considered to be a a crit the same way, right?

SPEAKER_07 50:13

Um, no. So it uh races towards you, floating above the ground. It has these its fingers and in these long bony claws, these spectral claws. It's gonna reach into you, try and slash at the inside of your body.

SPEAKER_09 50:31

Uh when when I said I was imagining Skeletor and uh you gave me um was it what is the Lich from Stranger Things?

SPEAKER_03 50:43

You didn't give me what I wanted, is what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_07 50:46

The uh so it oh it gets one advantage. There you go. No success. So uh it feels you like it can't claw you, it feels like you are repellent to it in some way. This is a creature of evil, and you have been purged of all evil, so it'll have a tough time, but it does get uh an advantage, so it's gonna refocus itself, add a blue. It can't uh slash at you physically, so it's going to try to diminish your mind with its wailing banshee's cry. Diminish your mind.

SPEAKER_03 51:22

I mean Starzan's mind, I don't know how diminished it can get.

SPEAKER_07 51:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 51:28

Complimentary.

SPEAKER_07 51:29

Auditorial. Success advantage and a triumph. Uh uh, so it deals three points of it's got Greek, so it deals three points of strain damage to you.

SPEAKER_02 51:43

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_07 51:46

Head ringer, uh, so you increase the difficulty of all intellect and cunning checks by one. Uh, not gonna be a problem. Perfect. Yeah. Yeah, you're fine. But now you can attack it. It's shrieked at you, dealing some strain, but you're just standing there dumbfounded. It found you dumb.

SPEAKER_02 52:04

What?

SPEAKER_09 52:05

Uh let me see here. Uh I'm gonna choose marked for death. Ooh, power I haven't used in a long time. Uh, committing uh force dice adds two uh to advantage, I believe? To combat checks against targets while the this remains committed. So I'll also commit a force point to bring my brawn up to six. Okay. And I'm gonna move uh uh take a look here. I'm wondering if I should do Brawl or Melee against this filler. I could use my star sword.

SPEAKER_03 52:38

I could use our star sword. Because I I know that we're like, maybe don't bring out your lightsaber, but if this is a thing that, like, is from a different dimension, maybe lightsaber would be good against it.

SPEAKER_08 52:49

A nice idea, yeah. Alright, I'm gonna try the lightsaber.

SPEAKER_03 52:52

The lightsaber, no, this is a fusion cutter, it's different.

SPEAKER_07 52:56

You can have a picket blade and uh hear the announcement say, oh, it looks like this combatant has somehow gotten his hands on a laser sword. Let's see if he knows how to use it. A fusion cutter!

SPEAKER_08 53:11

Just uh just a fusion cutter. It's just a prop. It's just a prop, bro! It's dangerous, but you know.

SPEAKER_09 53:17

So what is the difficulty to slash and smash this?

SPEAKER_07 53:21

Uh so you're engaged with it. Uh, so that starts as two purple, but it has three ranks of defense, so that's two purple and three blacks.

SPEAKER_09 53:31

Okay. I'm not bothered.

SPEAKER_03 53:33

You're fine.

SPEAKER_09 53:35

Uh two success, three advantage.

SPEAKER_02 53:38

Ooh.

SPEAKER_07 53:39

So, uh, your sword, you can take your sword, your lightsaber, and slash at it. So normally, this thing is ghost, which halves the damage dealt to it before applying soap, unless the attack came from a magical source. Oh god.

SPEAKER_09 53:59

I made the right choice, everybody.

SPEAKER_07 54:01

And uh what what is more magical than uh a sword of power wielded by uh the prince of an ancient lineage?

SPEAKER_03 54:11

Nothing, you sons of bitches, nothing.

SPEAKER_07 54:13

But you can like dab into it clean, and you just hear the announce What the fuck? Yeah. It's like, oh, this is gonna be dramatic, and then it's done in 20 seconds. Uh 58. An agonizing wound increases the difficulty ball, brawn and agility, so you can just like slash it like one of its arms go goes limp. And it's like, well, we've never seen this before. Usually these things are the death of any who fall upon it. It seems to uh be weak to whatever weapon that strange barbarian is holding. Hey. I'm not strange. The Star Weird uh shrinks back. It's it's never been attacked by a weapon like this before, and it like kind of shrinks away from you.

SPEAKER_03 55:03

It's a fra It's it's a frame.

SPEAKER_07 55:07

Does it does it submit? It it submit. And it says, well, like, I I didn't know these things could give up, but I guess it's I I uh turn off. The match has been declared in favor of Twercules!

SPEAKER_09 55:23

I turn off the uh I turn off the uh little the saber. How far away is Bruce Campbell?

SPEAKER_07 55:28

Uh he's at the entrance.

SPEAKER_09 55:32

Next opponent!

SPEAKER_07 55:35

And Bruce Campbell says, uh I don't know, you might want to k get your money and run, kid. Uh a lot of people were eyeing your magic sword there. Thank you, Bruce Campbell. And you can see as you exit and collect your money, like a lot of the other combatants are s are staring at your magic sword, where it's like, that thing can kill a star weird. It's a an opponent that's felled many a combatant before you, and you get the feeling like their hands are very greedy.

SPEAKER_09 56:01

Was it the sword or it's wielder? It's definitely the sword.

SPEAKER_03 56:05

Maybe Twercule is just special.

SPEAKER_09 56:07

Let's let's get out of here, Panther. I mean Twerkstar.

SPEAKER_03 56:11

Torkstar!

SPEAKER_07 56:13

So why don't you why don't you play it cool uh to avoid attracting too much attention?

SPEAKER_09 56:18

I will play it cool. Use a uh destiny point that I did not use to kill the star weird.

SPEAKER_07 56:25

Bounty hunters are pretty perceptive. They have to hunt bounties, so it will be a cool against two reds and a purple.

SPEAKER_09 56:31

One success, two advantage.

SPEAKER_07 56:33

Alright, so you can you can slip back to the ship uh undetected without uh anybody following you, trying to get their hands on your shaft. Nice.

SPEAKER_02 56:42

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_07 56:42

And uh Cleaver says, How'd it go, Unc? Exceptional! Ha ha! Flawless victory. As the kids say, you know. I love it. We should probably get back to the base.

SPEAKER_09 56:54

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 56:55

We should say hi to the new visitors. Yes, I noticed a uh a vessel and then a number of vessels that were approaching the outpost. Uh-oh. What kind of vessels? And he brings it up on the screen. You're still in the juice.

SPEAKER_00 57:13

Oh no.

SPEAKER_07 57:14

And on like the screen from the ship you can see uh from sort of the this CCTV recordings from the external ship cameras, a uh a starfighter sort of weaving its way through the the rocks of the asteroid. And you can recognize it as a uh an Ada 2 Jedi interceptor.

SPEAKER_03 57:36

Okay, well maybe it's someone with Ahsoka is a Jedi Interceptor. Most of them aren't painted black. Uh oh.

SPEAKER_09 57:44

A black interceptor ship, you say.

SPEAKER_03 57:46

Uh the is this something that was being used by the Imperial Knights?

SPEAKER_07 57:50

And then a little while after, another ship, and you can still see the second ship out there in the distance, uh, contrasted against the uh round and generally booba shapes of the rocks and asteroid is a very kiki-looking triangular uh light cruiser.

SPEAKER_03 58:10

No, what?

SPEAKER_08 58:12

What's the what's going on?

SPEAKER_03 58:14

We don't even know. We're still in we're still in the juice! Oh shit.

unknown 58:18

Shh. Shh.

SPEAKER_03 58:21

Starzan rushes back, Arsokan Arsoka and Sabe's still there.

SPEAKER_07 58:27

Well, Starzan, so you can take off with Cleaver, and he pilots you back towards the ship. And you can see that they're like in the landing pads, there are a number of shuttles that are and have been touching down. And you can see that there are a few flashes of light coming from uh inside the facility. I don't know where you would want to shut down if you if you would want to set down in the same landing pads. Uh this ship might have some emergency EV suits if you want to sit down on the asteroid and try and sneak in somewhere else. I tried sneak. Do they have a Starzan sized EV suit? I mean it'll be pretty tight. They're kind of one size fits most, but you're apparently over seven feet tall. According to a small man.

SPEAKER_09 59:13

According to a Greg Bru Bruce Campbell. We almost said Greg Bruce. Alright. I will yes, I will I will ED up and try and sneak around.

SPEAKER_07 59:26

So Cleaver can set the ship down somewhere that is hopefully uh hiding behind a big rock, maybe in a crater, you can bound out uh in one of these easy suits. The gravity is very low outside of the facility. So any of your uh athletics checks will have two blues added on. I'd say light gravity is three blues. So if you do you wanna try and bound back to the base?

SPEAKER_09 59:56

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 59:56

Um I think probably with especially with the low gravity, you would be able to jump. Uh that would not be a problem for you. So we'll say it's a perception to find uh the place is now crawling with the empire, so that'll add a black. You don't want to be found if you want to. Do you want to find uh do you want to get back to like the medical facility?

SPEAKER_09 1:00:17

Yes, back to tanks.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:19

So uh I'll give you a destiny point. We'll call it a red, a purple, and a black. I can take off blacks with my perception. One success, one threat. So you can find the medical facility, but Chris, Illyria, and Kala. Uh the Bacta begins to drain, and your blurry vision kind of returns, and you don't see Starzan there waiting for you. You don't see Ahsoka or Sabe. You see a man with kind of like a flushed pink, almost bubblegum pink skin with little sort of fleshy tendrils coming off his chin, dressed in the red armor of the Imperial Knights. Based on his appearance, you can maybe surmise that he was one of the Sith from Kesh. Uh do we recognize this one? Uh, probably not. But he says, well, well, well, if you aren't a wet bunch of miscreants, I did not expect to find such a high value prize here on this rock, but I am not disappointed. Who the f Who are you? I am the Imperious Knight, Draven Black Knife, and I will be your doom.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:41

I'm sorry, why have you disrupted our beauty sleep?

SPEAKER_07 1:01:45

Oh, poor rogue knights. I will be bumped up through the ranks so big when I kill you and take your heads back to Darth Vader. Oh, so what? You betrayed the knights. How could you do that to us?

SPEAKER_06 1:02:03

And you blew up that poor ship. Oh, I am looking forward to severing your necks from your shoulders.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:11

Where where is our equipment relative to us? Uh probably stashed away in a locker somewhere. Uh, but you may notice if you look outside, you may notice a large uh space-suited figure standing outside the window. Tap tap tap, hello?

SPEAKER_09 1:02:30

Do I is there a way in I can find it?

SPEAKER_07 1:02:33

Uh yeah, there there is a door, but uh there is an Imperial Knight there. You can see that uh he is flanked by uh a number of stormtroopers as well. No one has move, right?

SPEAKER_08 1:02:45

Nope, I'm I'm dumping my next b batch of uh experience into influence.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:51

But I do have suppress, which uh, you know what, let's see if I can roll it and commit it. So even though it's hard to roll it.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:01

He looks at you and he uh notices you cala 80 pounds soaking wet, and you feel him trying to like lift you up with a force, and he says, Ah, the beautiful Kala set. I've heard so much about you. You will be my guide.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:19

I will get your head first.

SPEAKER_08 1:03:21

Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like this fella.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:24

Oh no, I I tried rolling my suppress, I only got three doxide. Could I just supp could I just commit my force to uh so he can't affect me with the force?

SPEAKER_07 1:03:35

Yeah, so he's lifting you up, and since the move power is purely based on force roll, you can suppress, and you suddenly just drop from his grasp onto the floor.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:47

I'll scramble away. I'll try to scramble to where our stuff is stacked.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:50

Give me a coordination.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:51

Oof.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:51

Uh you are kind of wet, so that'll add a black, but otherwise it'll just be a two purple and a black coordination.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:57

Two purple and a black. Coordinations, okay. Uh two success, three advantage. Okay, yeah, so you can scramble over to the locker.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:06

You can yes, slide over to the locker.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:09

Do a cool combat slide.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:11

You got those advantages, so you probably didn't even lock it. I mean, why would you? Everything here is supposed to be trustworthy.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:17

Why why would I?

SPEAKER_07 1:04:19

What do you what do you grab from the locker? You probably only have time to grab one thing before they start shooting at you.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:24

My gun? Yeah. Or actually, because if they were gonna start shooting at me, I'm wondering if maybe my light dagger would be better because then I could use that. If stormtroopers are shooting at me, I could use that to reflect.

SPEAKER_08 1:04:40

How many of them are there right now?

SPEAKER_07 1:04:41

Like, that are just in the room? Uh, there's him and a squad of six stormtroopers. Fuck. It's too many. I think they're less.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:50

You know what? I'll grab I'll grab my light dagger. So maybe I can reflect. Also, I feel like as soon as it's like the beautiful callisette, but it's like from the Sith people where it's like, it's so fascinating how ugly you are. I feel like from this guy, that's still an insult.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:07

Well, he's got like s like sallow skin, sunken cheeks, his eyes have like dark circles under them, his hair is like all stringy and matted.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:15

Okay, so he's also like a three.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:17

Yeah. His name is Draven Black Knife.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:22

Look. No, I'll grab I'll I'll I'll grab my light dagger, I'll be ready to reflect. I only got one rank in it, but.

SPEAKER_09 1:05:31

I might as well just next next turn uh burst through the door like the Kool-Aid pan. Wait, burst wait, hey. Is that would that like suck the people inside outside?

SPEAKER_03 1:05:44

I'm just gonna say burst through the wall, leave a Starzan shaped hole, and just, you know, have the vast explosive decompression.

SPEAKER_09 1:05:53

But people in the other room would be okay, right? I mean, um you're all in the same room. Get back in the tanks. It'll be fine. No, I'll have to figure out another way to get back into the in here now.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:04

I mean there's the door probably has an airlock.

SPEAKER_09 1:06:07

Okay, good.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:08

Yeah, I'll come through the airlock and and just like hey assholes. So you can you can enter through uh the airlock, um but as the air as you do, there is a like a little green light that goes on that the stormtroopers notice and say, another one! And there's more rogue knights hiding under a rock.

SPEAKER_09 1:06:30

I have my saber ray so when they come through the I'll have to make them open the door.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:33

Yeah, the a c the stormtroopers like they turn and they aim at the door, and then they kinda like nod at each other, like, you go, you go. And one of them goes, he goes up, like right up close to the door, and he presses the button, and he's he tries to jump back before the door opens all the way.

SPEAKER_09 1:06:50

Is the door going up and uh like from the bottom up?

SPEAKER_07 1:06:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:06:53

So I will swing my lightsaber underneath the door as soon as it opens.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:57

Yeah, roll roll me a two-purple lightsaber.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:00

For success.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:01

Yeah, the door opens, swishes open. You can slice them out at the ankles. He will help him screams as he falls onto his stumps.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:10

We should probably get our our weaponry as well.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:13

Yeah, the rest of you, so you're all Star Stan's the only one with clothes on. Rarely. Yeah. Rarely. Like you've probably got like same kind of diaper Luke was wearing in the Empire Strikes back, but like beyond that, you're you're you're wearing medical diapers, and that's about it. Do Elyria and I at least get tube tops, medical tube tops. Yeah, medical tube tops, medical chest diapers.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:37

This is Star Wars. We can't have you uh flip-flopping around. Well, no, this is Star Wars. There's no underwear too.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:43

Canonically bras you can't wear in space.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:45

Yeah, this isn't a bra. This is like uh fifth element stuff.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:49

Yeah, you got like those little white bandages looking things.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:54

Yeah, you can suit what you've got on a what a like a wet t-shirt.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:00

Yeah, a wet t-shirt and a diaper. Yeah, so that's cute.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:04

Looking like a newborn baby. You look like Tommy Pickles.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:07

Wait. Did did Sam Levinson direct this episode?

SPEAKER_07 1:08:11

Ah, they sexy baby.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:16

Hate that. I'm a bad guy. It's okay to kill me.

SPEAKER_08 1:08:23

Very thankful.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:25

Well, thanks, buddy.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:26

No problem. Now kill me.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:29

It'll be great for the plot.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:31

Put me on my knee three, please.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:33

Ooh, because I I know I said I grabbed my light dagger, but I am right next to the locker. Would I be able to get my gun as a quick draw, incidental?

SPEAKER_07 1:08:44

Uh, you would still be right be right by the locker, so sure.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:47

Okay. So what would that be for uh a ranged heavy on him?

SPEAKER_07 1:08:52

Uh, so you this is pretty close quarters. You would be at short range. He's got one rank of uh ranged defense, he's got two ranks of adversary, so that would be a red, a purple, and a black.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:01

I'll take two strain and I'll aim twice at two more blues. And what do we have for Destiny? You have three. Three? You know what? I'll flip one to get another yellow.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:13

Yeah, dog.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:13

Maybe I can just one-hit this guy. That would make life easier.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:17

J uh it it would be like poetry, it would rhyme with earlier in the episode.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:21

Ooh, five success, four advantage.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:25

That's nuts.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:26

And ooh, so I can either I can either crit him, or I could use the two advantage to to disorient him.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:34

I would crit him if you uh I would probably crit him.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:37

Yeah. Let's see. 17.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:40

Oh. Man! Just seventeen.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:43

Just seventeen.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:44

Uh he's distracting that he cannot perform a free maneuver during his next turn.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:48

Well, he can't aim. He can't he can't change range bands. I mean, he could still take some strain and take his second maneuver, but like, you know, that's not nothing.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:59

But uh, somebody else can still go before he has a chance to.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:02

Yeah. Oh yeah, he's like only has like what two health left?

SPEAKER_07 1:10:06

Yeah. So it could be Starzan. Starzan uh does have his weapon. Uh Chris and Illyria are both, you're still in the back to tanks. Um You're still naked. Yeah, the water has been drained, so you would have to get out of the back to tanks. You don't have your gear. Kala, I know you slid across, you got that advantage, but honestly, you probably don't even have your leg on.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:28

Oh yeah, that's right. I for I was so agile, I forgot that I'm legless.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:33

Yeah, agile, uh, legless is very agile. He is known for the Legless and Gimply.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:41

It's a lot easier to slide across the floor because I can just go on my hip stump.

SPEAKER_08 1:10:46

I just want to take an extra moment for legless and gimplay. Star said, beat him to death with Cal's leg. I'm gonna what what yeah, what if I actually stay in the back to tank and use my influence power to get um Make him love you. I want to kill all of them.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:09

Except that one. I like that one.

SPEAKER_08 1:11:12

Can I get him to like shoot himself in the foot or something?

SPEAKER_09 1:11:15

I want Draven Blackknife to love me more than anyone in the fucking world. Snap.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:21

Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck. I want him to love me so much that he threatens to kill himself if I don't marry him, and then I'll refuse so he'll kill himself.

SPEAKER_09 1:11:31

He dri he climbs into the back tank and he was you and drowns.

SPEAKER_08 1:11:35

What can I what can I do with influence? I don't I don't really have much except for magnitude uh put onto it, but let's see. Uh guiding and shaping thoughts. Oh. Oh.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:45

Oh. Because magnitude spend magnitude to increase targets affected equal to magnitude upbreaks purchased. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:53

Would the stormtroopers count as a minion group?

SPEAKER_07 1:11:55

The stormtroopers count as minion groups. I have them in two minion groups.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:59

Can I make the stormtroopers love you?

SPEAKER_08 1:12:02

Okay. While I get my weapons? Yeah, sure, let's do that. Protect this naked man. Don't look, don't look at my penis. You'll only be jealous. Don't look at my penis, it'll make you fall in love. It'll make you fall in love.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:16

So uh roll your or roll your force then. So that'd be two force die.

SPEAKER_08 1:12:22

Four lightside! Oh, nice shit.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:25

So you will have to use uh a destiny point to uh to do that. Sure. Do you want to use two for both to like generate stronger feelings?

SPEAKER_08 1:12:32

Um, yes. Okay. Absolutely. And may maybe I can maybe we can make these guys come to our side, like, you know, naturally. So you'll take take some strain and they say Man, what are we doing?

SPEAKER_05 1:12:43

These are these are naked, defenseless prisoners. Here.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:47

And protect them. The stormtroopers, they don't shoot Draven, but they toss their guns to you and Illyria. You should at least be able to defend yourselves. And then we'll shoot you. And then we'll shoot you. Thanks. Uh, sure. So Draven, he does get to go. And he says, How dare you spurn me, you twiggy witch. Twiggy witch. And he runs at you with his I don't even know you! Calla, he's gonna he's gonna attack you.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:18

Uh can I parry?

SPEAKER_07 1:13:22

Go for it. So he gets three successes. You have one rank of parry?

SPEAKER_04 1:13:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:26

Okay, so you only take ten points of wound as he slaps you back with his lightsaber.

SPEAKER_09 1:13:30

Oh! Ow! I'll uh I'll finish off the stormtroopers that are here. So that'll be uh two purple. You know, they're stormtroopers.

SPEAKER_08 1:13:39

Yeah, no, they they deserve to die. It's okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:41

They made their clones, they weren't like bred in tanks and uh indoctrinated since they were children. These guys. These guys are in it for the love of the game. Yeah. Yeah. These guys joined up because they thought the Empire was gonna pay for their college tuition.

SPEAKER_09 1:13:56

Oh. There's their uh Pelps tots. Yeah. Two success, three advantage, which is a great.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:03

Yeah, you can slide through these stormtroopers. They will helm scream. That teaches you to put down your weapons. Learn you for next time.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:14

Sorry, did they throw me a gun?

SPEAKER_07 1:14:17

Yeah, the stormtroopers threw you a blaster rifle.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:19

I'll shoot him.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:20

Stormtroopers or the uh the Imperial Knight?

SPEAKER_07 1:14:23

Uh in hindsight, maybe we could have The Knight's got like two points of wound left.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:28

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:29

Um, okay, so that'll be he's got ranged defense, he's got a purple and a black, ranged heavy.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:36

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:38

Mm-hmm. You have you have a destiny point.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:41

I'll roll it for a yellow. One advantage.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:46

Yeah, what? Don't let these be guns. You can't blast him, but you can uh distract him so that whoever does want to attack him, if that cala, you want that to be you, you can get a blue. He's the start of a new initiative, right? Yeah, top of the round. New round, top of the round. He's he's nemesis level, but he's not so nemesis that he gets a uh an end of end of round action.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:07

I was I was gonna say. Well, because he's like in gauge range with me now.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:11

Yeah. Congratulations.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:14

Ew. No, because if he's if he's super close, maybe I will try to shank him with my light dagger.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:20

That would be two reds and two blacks.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:23

Can I aim with a lightsaber? Yeah, you can aim with anything. I'll take another two strain and aim twice so I get two blue, two success, one advantage, one triumph. Stab him.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:34

You can stab him. He does have the same uh Quartosis armor as you, so uh. They get him between the plates. The soak does come into play, but he only has two points of wound left. You're fine. As he dies, he'll just go, I don't even know you!

SPEAKER_02 1:15:48

And you never will.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:52

In hindsight, I probably could have we probably could have recruited those stormtroopers that I killed, but can we recruit the other ones that are still alive?

SPEAKER_05 1:15:58

Yeah, they're shaking in their boots and they're saying, Hey, hey, look, we only signed up for a college tuition here.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:03

Then you deserve an education.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:07

It had this thing that could burn through like shields and stuff. But it had a uh an energy signature and we followed it here. And well, it turned out that we didn't expect to find uh Jedi here, or I guess you guys used to be Imperial Knights. Uh kind of, sort of. We're we're we're trying to get away from that.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:54

You know if they found the uh the the the ship, the ship with the energy signature?

SPEAKER_07 1:17:59

So I don't know what his deal is, but uh look, I saw what you guys did. I I I saw what uh Draven was gonna do to you guys. I I don't agree with that. We didn't sign up for this, we didn't know that the Empire was gonna be fascist. So what if we just let's let's let it go. Never mind, it's fine.

SPEAKER_08 1:19:21

That one in particular, let's let that go.

I don't know, I'm not from there. What kind of person is he? Well, he's the kind of person who's really tan, like unseasonably tan. We're out in space all the time, and somehow he's got like a tanning bed. He's real strict, he's a real hard ass, and he's so racist. You wouldn't believe it.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:13

I mean, I I was gonna be like, wow, he sounds oh wait. I was gonna be like, he sounds like someone who was in a teleporno, and then you got to that last part, and it's like, ooh, I don't know. And he's up on the on the Star Destroyer.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:25

Yeah, he's always prancing around, pacing back and forth, telling us how he's gonna whip our asses into shape. Well, that's the thing. He's not even gay. He only sexually harasses the female officers.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:44

You know, I feel like sometimes they do that just to cover things up if they're not like, you know, ready to be out, though. Maybe he is, we just don't know.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:52

Well, he's from Planet Skimmy Javel. You know what guys are like over there.

SPEAKER_08 1:22:55

From what planet's like over there?

SPEAKER_00 1:22:58

Can I roll a knowledge check to know what the guys over there are like?

SPEAKER_08 1:23:01

There's so much that I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:03

Yeah, roll me a roll me a knowledge outer rim to see what the guys on planet Skimmy Javel are like.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:07

How many's?

SPEAKER_07 1:23:08

Uh it's pretty obscure. Uh maybe three purple knowledge outer rim.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:13

Two success, one threat.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:15

Uh the the men of Skimmy Javel, uh, the the the popular sort of mating ritual they do is they uh promised uh young girls that they'll be able to meet famous musicians in exchange for having sex with them and they get away with it for decades or something. Rodies. Oh no powerful television networks. And they have the most disgusting haircuts, just weird. They just look weird.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:40

Teleport alert. Okay. So with these guys' armor, I'm guessing like we got their radios and stuff too. Yeah. Their communicators. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:50

Look, this is an uncomplicated, it's okay to kill these guys episode. You don't need to worry about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:55

Okay, good.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:56

I like it when things are uncomplicated.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:58

But I'm guessing they uh just got everyone in the carbonite before they started thawing anyone. Can we listen in and see if they got like Zin and Ahsoka? So you can listen on.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:10

It's mostly stormtrooper chatter talking about new speeders that are out. Nothing about the prisoners. Uh, if you listen in, you do hear somebody saying Did you hear that they uh maybe captured a couple of Jedi or something?

SPEAKER_08 1:24:24

Uh do you know uh what do you know about that? About the Jedi they captured.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:29

Oh, we don't I mean we were here with with the knight. I don't know too much about the uh the Jedi. I think that was she was the pilot of the ship. Um and there was like some other woman with her, and they stole all that Tabana gas. That's that's all we know really. They didn't really tell us much. They uh I don't know if it's classified or if they just don't trust us or what. I mean I guess they shouldn't because we're defecting and we're giving our armor to you guys so you can go and I don't know, sneak aboard the ship or whatever.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:55

Fair.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:56

Oh yeah, wait, how how'd you come down? Do you have your own shuttle that you came down with with a knight?

SPEAKER_07 1:25:01

Yeah, there should be there should be a shuttle parked in the landing bay.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:04

What do we say? Do we just want to get that shuttle?

SPEAKER_08 1:25:07

I mean I mean if we're gonna be undercover, we should probably be like we should probably go all the way, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:14

Yeah. Oh, you said it was like uh a knight and or like uh a Jedi and how how many people?

SPEAKER_03 1:25:21

Was there a uh a very pale lady with them too? I I don't know, I think so. I think I saw I think I saw a pale lady. Okay, so they probably have Zen too. Just making sure. Case Zen managed to hide in a closet and it's like I and is like, I sure hope Chris comes to rescue me, and then is just waiting.

SPEAKER_08 1:25:40

I'd know.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:41

I just You would know. You would know when you're hard.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:44

You would know.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:44

Okay, do we want to go take the shuttle up to the ship and wreak some havoc?

unknown 1:25:48

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:48

So you're gonna disguise yourselves? Yeah. Slip into their stormtrooper armor.

SPEAKER_09 1:25:54

Is there I I guess I could take the one with no calves, or is there is somebody short that should take off?

SPEAKER_07 1:25:58

Well, a couple of them are dead.

SPEAKER_09 1:25:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:00

Yeah, because there's the ones that are giving you their armor and then the rest are dead. Oh yeah, we don't have to take it off corpses.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:05

Yeah, well, I mean there's only three of them, so one of us will have to take it off a corpse.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:09

Yeah. Is there a suspiciously large guy in this group?

SPEAKER_03 1:26:12

Or a suspiciously small one?

SPEAKER_07 1:26:14

Well, the one with his legs cut off. Draven and Black Knight was pretty pretty jacked. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:20

Oh, you could be yeah, you could be Draven and the rest of us be your troops. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:24

Do you have any black hair dye on hand? Draven and the black knights. Um, would blood work?

SPEAKER_03 1:26:28

SPEAKER_09 1:26:32

I'll just I'll just scalp him and wear his scalp. Wear his face as a mask. I want his face.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:41

Are you gonna Hannibal Lecter this guy? I feel like that's gonna counter some conflict.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:46

It just feels like Starzan has lots of disguises.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:50

You're very distinctive. You need to disguise yourself.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:53

Starzan um may have disguised himself more than Sugnomo.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:59

Yeah, okay. Or you could just squeeze into some Stormtrooper armor. Squeeze into some stormtrooper armor.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:05

I mean, it probably would be good to have someone pretending because was this guy Oh no, he was a Sith. So you'd have to like have your hood up.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:14

If there was a hood. Or, you know, you're talking about blood. You said this guy was like bubblegum pink or the blood on.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:26

Well, you know, I wear a face paint.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:28

All over though.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:29

He thought he was the gother.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:56

He thought he was a goth. Okay, so the rest of us will be troopers. Uh Uh Starzan, you'll be Raven Black Knife.

SPEAKER_09 1:28:03

Yeah. Nothing bad could possibly happen.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:05

Give me a skullduggery just to do the the makeup to appear at least from a distance as this guy.

SPEAKER_09 1:28:12

You know what? After I spent that one point on raising my presence, my skull is a little Duggar.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:18

Hey.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:19

But Starzan get a blue for being experienced with face paint?

SPEAKER_07 1:28:23

Um I mean skullduggery is cunning, so. Oh.

SPEAKER_09 1:28:26

My cunning is always is still good. I'm a three cunning.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:29

Yeah, or if somebody else wanted to. I mean, it could also be coordination. Coordination I am much better at. Yeah, because coordination, because you you're you're practiced at applying makeup, so it can be we can call it a you are kind of using uh blood and makeshift things, so we'll call it a three purple and a black. One success, four threat, two dark side. So it'll work from a distance. Definitely not close up.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:56

I mean, if we It'll do. If us as the troopers like walk in front of you to kind of give a bit of a buffer between anyone else who might be trying to look at you.

SPEAKER_08 1:29:04

Like kind of a quadrant kind of thing.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:29:07

Or try it in our case.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:09

And oh make sure you grab his lightsaber too.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:12

Yeah, I can grab his lightsaber, return to the Do you want to stash your stuff aboard the crow first? Good idea.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:20

Oh, could we? Yeah. Oh, unless it's impounded.

SPEAKER_09 1:29:24

We'll have to keep uh Panthera there too.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:27

You can uh return to the landing bay, and there are a couple of stormtroopers that are standing guard like by the ship. It's it hasn't been impounded, but they're just like guarding it in case the owners come back or because it's just a ship. Like there's no evidence that it's connected to uh Ahsoka Nessa other than that it's there.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:47

I guess we could stash our stuff and just be like, oh, we're here to inspect it, and then if we needed to like come up for a hasty getaway, I have the slave circuit, so I can fly it from afar.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:59

Yes, you can approach the ship and the stormtroopers say.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:02

Hey! Hey!

SPEAKER_07 1:30:02

Ship change isn't up yet. We're supposed to be guarding this bucket of bolt.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:06

Oh, the uh the the the Imperial Knight, um, Knight Black Knife wanted us to take a look at this at the inside.

SPEAKER_08 1:30:13

Uh, we are only hit here to uh make sure that the Emperor's top uh top needs are met.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:21

I'll take that. What's give you a dusty point? A red and two blacks.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:26

Red, two blacks. Let's see. Ooh, three failure, three advantage. Could it just be that they don't want to listen to me and they want to defer to uh the knight command the knight master?

SPEAKER_07 1:30:37

Knight Black Knife is can speak for himself, can't he? Why are you violating protocol like this?

SPEAKER_09 1:30:43

Uh black knife has throat problem, but black knife agree. Give me deception.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:52

I don't remember him talking in third person.

SPEAKER_08 1:30:58

Starzan said Black Knight does. Uh that'll be a red and two purple.

SPEAKER_09 1:31:04

This isn't probably gonna go the best, but I tried to help. Um what? Did it work? Uh sorry, two purple and a red? Was it? Uh th three success, one threat?

SPEAKER_03 1:31:17

Hell yeah. What?

SPEAKER_05 1:31:19

You did it. Hey, black knife. Uh yes, of course. You're having throw problems.

SPEAKER_08 1:31:28

Incredible.

SPEAKER_09 1:31:31

That's amazing.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:32

Hell yeah, Starzan.

SPEAKER_09 1:31:35

They're just that dumb, I guess.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:37

Look, you're very intimidating. They're not gonna argue with you.

SPEAKER_09 1:31:40

How could I fuck with blackknife? Blackknife ain't no one to fuck with.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:44

But uh, I'll have to put it in a medical log if that's alright.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:47

Blackknife is not throat goat.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:52

Blackknife throat stoat.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:57

Alright, head on in, sirs.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:58

And we head on in. You can head on into your ship.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:01

Go stash our things.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:03

Go stash your things. Now, there are two stormtroopers that are standing a little bit aways from your ship. There are other stormtroopers that are kind of near Ahsoka's ship and the hasty harpy. You do have a laser turret on the bottom of your vessel.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:20

What do we think? We could well, because there's all the stormtroopers here. Do we do we know how many there are in the rest of the base? Are they mostly here?

SPEAKER_07 1:32:30

Um, it's hard to say. They're probably going throughout the base. There's probably still a bunch back on the cruiser.

SPEAKER_08 1:32:36

Are are you thinking about uh blowing this place up?

SPEAKER_03 1:32:41

I mean, if we wanted to clear out the stormtroopers that are here.

SPEAKER_09 1:32:45

We could just blow it up.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:46

We could just blow it up. Excellent. Because like, but then it's like if there are other stormtroopers in the base, like, what are we gonna do with them? What's gonna happen with them? But maybe we can just like kill all the ones here before they can call for help.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:03

There you go. How many are there here? Uh there's two guarding each ship. So uh there's one on your ship, one in the harpy, one on Ahsoka's ship, so there would be six here in the landing area. We could probably take out six.

SPEAKER_08 1:33:15

Would be the best with gunnery. I mean, I think I'm pretty good. Not uh either Kala or Yeah, I got three I got three green.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:26

I got four green.

SPEAKER_08 1:33:27

Okay, so yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:28

Oh, go in there, I'll see if I can gun them all down.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:31

Okay. Um, and you have all your targeting stuff, so you can upgrade it twice and add two blues.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:36

Ah, nice.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:37

You're trying to hit individual stormtroopers with a ship turret. Uh your silhouette four. Um, their silhouette one. So I'll give you a dashy point. Some of them are probably grouped up, so they might be like silhouette two to hit two of them. Um, so I'll give you a dasty point. We'll say it's a red and two purples.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:55

Can I aim? Yeah, you can aim. I won't aim twice, because I think I'm at like seven strain, and I'm gonna have to I'll overall a co a discipline once we're done with this to try to regain some of that. Let's see. Oh, three success four advantage, baby. They're gone. Dude, I could crit them. I don't need to, but I could.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:23

Just explode them. They are in critical condition. There is no evidence they were ever there. Oh shit. Stash anything you need to stash, collect anything that you think would be useful to take up with you.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:35

Ooh, would I be able to bring my gun? That would probably stand out a lot on a stormtrooper uniform.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:41

I mean, I can stash my my light dagger. It's small, and then just have regular stormtrooper gun.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:47

Stormtroopers with lightsaber, what is this, a Ralph McQuarrie painting?

SPEAKER_03 1:34:51

Yeah. Look, I can just like shove that. I don't know. I'm sure I have a like a pouch or something, I'd bet I can put that in.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:57

Um, well, cause stormtroopers, they do have like uh holsters, like holster pouches for their blasters. So if you want to carry your blasters and slip your lightsabers into your holsters.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:07

Yeah. Look, my my my it's I I have a light dagger, it's very small.

SPEAKER_08 1:35:12

I mean, we're all kind of canonically carrying uh uh stormtrooper guns anyway.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:18

Yeah, like Starzan Starzan's a sword, so he wouldn't be able to, but everybody else would be able to just drop it in your holster. But Starzan's uh got the Imperial Knight lightsaber anyway.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:27

Yeah. Let's go back to the other the other ship, I guess.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:32

And and go up to the big ship, the big one.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:35

So you can uh leave the clandestine crow board the imperial shuttle and take it up to the light cruiser that is hovering in space above asteroid.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:49

Let's see clandestine crow. We'll see it again soon. Do we get any hail or anything when we're approaching?

SPEAKER_07 1:35:55

Uh yeah, it just asks for your uh IFF and you can send it, and it lets you land in the bay. There are stormtroopers milling around. You can see that the uh canisters of prisoners have been brought aboard.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:09

Okay. Oh, do we wanna like go to a stormtrooper and be like, oh, we want to interrogate the prisoners, uh, where are they being held?

SPEAKER_08 1:36:17

That's probably uh I mean we probably we we probably should start like going toward the destination.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:23

We'll all approach someone then. We'll say, uh Knight Blackknife would like to interrogate the prisoners, where are they being held? Excuse me? The uh Knight Blackknife with us wants to interrogate the prisoners that were brought up.

SPEAKER_07 1:36:37

And the stormtrooper looks at his buddy and says, Can you believe this shit? A woman trying to tell me what to do? I don't believe it. I gotta step in.

SPEAKER_09 1:36:46

Knight Black Knight!

SPEAKER_07 1:36:48

So you're up close. Uh it's gonna be seven feet tall.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:53

Allegedly.

SPEAKER_07 1:36:54

Give me a deception. I'll give you a uh destiny point here, so that'll be two reds and a purple. Now that you're up close, also two blacks. Uh one failure, two threats. So he's like You're not Black Knife. Wait a minute. I saw you fighting at the pits on the video screen earlier.

unknown 1:37:10

You're you're hey! Everybody!

SPEAKER_08 1:37:12

Twercules is here, twerkes! Yeah, grab him and choke him. Yeah, maybe maybe he was screaming because he was a fan of twercules.

SPEAKER_09 1:37:21

Yeah, what if what if the better thing to do is to put out a show for the boys to just make them?

SPEAKER_07 1:37:31

They all just downloaded the stream of Damn Two.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:34

Oh god. Are you gonna perform for them, be like, yeah, twerkles is here to do a show and the rest of us slip away?

SPEAKER_08 1:37:42

You you you should, while you're putting on a show, you'd be like, hey, where are those prisoners boards? Wait, I don't know why I'm doing that.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:52

Where are those prisoners boards? Boards are out tonight.

SPEAKER_08 1:38:04

Oh, we thought Hercules was gonna be a lot sexier than he's just kicking our ass. Maybe we should just know about this.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:11

Okay, well what's the what's the vibe? Because they're they're fans, but are they?

SPEAKER_07 1:38:15

Yeah, there's about a dozen stormtroopers that are surrounding you. Uh it's only like before somebody draws a connection between Twercules and Starzan. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:26

How many stormtroopers?

SPEAKER_07 1:38:28

Uh a dozen.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:29

A dozen.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:30

But they're a minion group, right? Uh, there are probably a few different minion groups.

SPEAKER_09 1:38:35

Yeah, we can do this. Or run. Boldly flee. Boldly to boldly flee.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:40

Or Starzan, you go, Twercules is gonna give you a show, and you walk away so they can't see your face, and you just lift up your robe so they can see your ass, and you drop it down. They'll be too hypnotized to wreck. They'll be too entranced to realize that you are Starzan. That body oddie. Yeah. You got heels on for this. Where do you get heels from? I don't know. Maybe uh maybe two.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:08

It's like me 7-6.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:12

Maybe the Imperial Knight was wearing heels. Maybe he was actually a little guy. It was just uh He had his Robert Downey Jr. platforms on underneath.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:23

Was Blackknife just a little guy? Was he on Apple Carton?

SPEAKER_07 1:39:27

Was he wearing Robert Downey Jr. platform heels? I mean, he was similar enough to Starzan that he could pass from a distance. He wasn't wearing platform heels. He's not he wasn't that vain.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:37

Ugh god, yeah, okay, let's just kill these stormtroopers. Holy crap.

SPEAKER_08 1:39:42

Can your first move be like uh you you you twerk a lightsaber to somebody's face? I don't know, I'm trying to What? Like he bumps it with his ass and then it turns on, but the bump, the motion of the bump uh Ken Starzan crackweld.

SPEAKER_09 1:40:03

Quackwheeled.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:05

You would have to take your pants off.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:09

Are you telling me your pants were still on? I just figured you'd want to feel free under.

SPEAKER_00 1:40:14

How did they recognize you with your pants on?

SPEAKER_08 1:40:17

They haven't paid yet. I mean he has a distinctive face.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:21

Can Starzan summon a pole into existence so he can swing around and just swipe at all these troopers with a lightsaber as he goes.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:30

Um, that would be a destiny point to make a pole appear.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:33

That's a stupid thing.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:35

I don't think we need to actually do that.

SPEAKER_09 1:40:36

Yeah, let me tell you, I've been high most of my life.

SPEAKER_08 1:40:41

And a dream is just to wish that uh makes.

SPEAKER_09 1:40:44

I need some uh techno music to dance to.

SPEAKER_08 1:40:47

Need some DJ uh what what what was his name? Chris Shepard. Which is also a very Canadian reference.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:53

Dude, I don't know what's going on. Okay, I guess we're killing these stormtroopers. Uh I mean if they're all kind of looking at twerkles.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:03

Maybe I'll just use I'll I'll just pop out my life dagger and swipe at a group of them. See if I can like slash three of their heads off or something.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:12

Okay, give me a two purple lightsaber.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:14

Two purple lightsaber. Yeah, you're going on destiny points.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:17

Make that a red and a purple.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:18

Red to purple lightsaber. Okay, let's see what we got here. Yellow, three green.

SPEAKER_09 1:41:24

You got this.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:24

Okay. Okay. Oh, three advantage. Maybe I just distract them so uh someone else can try the same move.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:31

So you can like kind of circle around behind them, and you can see that like all the stormtroopers that are gathered. You could you could attack them. These dozen different stormtroopers that all have their guns. But the ones that some of the ones that came over abandoned their post at uh the hangar magnetic field control station.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:53

Ooh, yeah, let's just turn off the airlock. Everyone just to hang on. Starzan, keep them distracted. We're gonna blow them out the airlock. Alright, Starzan, give me a charm.

SPEAKER_09 1:42:03

I'm happy you uh a charm check?

SPEAKER_07 1:42:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:42:06

Yeah, I can I can charm the pants off of them.

SPEAKER_07 1:42:09

Um so stormtroopers, they don't have any ranks in cool. Uh they have one presence. That'll be a one purple charm. Oof. Like they already kind of like you as Torcules.

SPEAKER_09 1:42:21

He's he's gaining popularity. I didn't add any dice. Okay. Um T Success, one advantage.

SPEAKER_07 1:42:28

So you can charm them, Kala. You can uh deactivate the magnetic shield, the entrance to the hangar bay.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:36

Yeah, I sure hope everyone else is seeing me going over there, and then it's just like, okay, let's just uh hold on to things.

SPEAKER_07 1:42:42

Give me uh probably a an athletics to hold on to something.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:46

Would that include me.

SPEAKER_07 1:42:48

Athletics or vigilance? Athletics. The uh three per me.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:54

Would that include me?

SPEAKER_07 1:42:55

So in the video games where you can do this, the uh magnetic field control station is inside a separate room that is uh just outside the hangar bait. So no, you would be able to do that. Oh nice, okay.

SPEAKER_09 1:43:07

Two success, three advantage, two lightside.

SPEAKER_07 1:43:11

One threat.

SPEAKER_00 1:43:13

One success.

SPEAKER_07 1:43:14

So uh you got one threat, so give me a give me a red to try and catch Chris.

SPEAKER_09 1:43:21

Uh one success, seven advantages, four lightside.

SPEAKER_07 1:43:24

Okay, you can grab Chris. Uh with all of those advantages, if you want, you could probably drag Illyria as well over to the room where Kala is. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 1:43:39

I got a success.

SPEAKER_07 1:43:41

Well, would that success allow you to cross the hangar bay floor? Mmm. Mmm, tell us. Probably not, probably with those advantages. But uh, so now Kala's in this little control room. So an Arcitan's class light cruiser is um it's the same kind that Moth Gideon had in the Mandalorian. It's big, but it's not immense. Uh, it's got about a hundred people in the crew.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:08

Oh, we just blew a dozen of them out.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:10

And you're at a dozen? You are at one of the airlock control stations.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:14

Oh, how many how many are in the various hangar bays? Can we just uh kill the seals on all of them?

SPEAKER_07 1:44:20

So if you want to open every door on the ship except the brig, uh that would be a computers.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:26

Ooh, Illyria, you wanna take this?

SPEAKER_00 1:44:29

Yeah. Do I have ranks yet? Nope.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:31

I mean, I only have two green. You're still gonna be better off than me.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:34

You have some destiny points.

SPEAKER_00 1:44:35

How many computers?

SPEAKER_07 1:44:37

So you're gonna try and hack into an Imperial Terminal, uh, to vent, uh, to open every door on the thing.

SPEAKER_00 1:44:44

Easy.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:44

It'll be a three purple.

SPEAKER_09 1:44:46

Lemon squeezy.

SPEAKER_00 1:44:47

Two failure for advantage.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:50

Okay, so with those four advantages, you can't vent you were trying to vent every door except the the brig. Um with those four advantages, you can choose to vent uh open specific airlocks on the ship. Probably if you want it anywhere on the ship, but probably I think just one.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:10

Like just one airlock?

SPEAKER_07 1:45:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:45:12

What's the most important one?

SPEAKER_03 1:45:14

Is there something on the brig that we can open? Is there an emergency escape we can vent the pilot?

SPEAKER_07 1:45:20

On the bright that's an important person.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:22

Or not the brig, on the uh bridge. The bridge?

SPEAKER_07 1:45:24

Yeah, that's where the captain and everybody controlling the ship would be. Is there an emergency escape that can be opened? Yeah, the bridge. It has all kinds of emergency doors.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:32

Oh man, yeah, just open just vent the bridge. Get rid of all the people in control in command. Engage.

SPEAKER_07 1:45:39

Okay, so uh Illyria, you can slice in and find the controls to vent the uh emergency airlocks on the bridge. See the little uh indicator light shows that the door is open. And you don't have like there's nothing to say that everybody got sucked out, but if you wait a few seconds, then a minute, and then maybe a couple of minutes, that door never closes. Okay. Okay. So nobody is closing that door.

SPEAKER_03 1:46:10

So either they're sucked out or dead, probably.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:13

Or star wraiths. Or star weirds. Starweirds, there you go. I'll tell you about them later. Starzan, I'll tell you about them later. Just just Starzan's luck. To get stuck with more star a ship full of Star Weirds.

SPEAKER_03 1:46:28

Starweirds. Why did it have to be Star Weirds? I mean, we know your lightsaber kills them real easy.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:34

Didn't kill him, he just walked away.

SPEAKER_03 1:46:36

It probably would have killed him real easy.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:38

Yeah, thank you. That's reassuring.

SPEAKER_03 1:46:41

Yeah, you you would have been fine. That's fine. Okay, let's let's go to the bridge. We'll just kill anyone on the way.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:48

Well, do you wanna go to the bridge or the brig now?

SPEAKER_03 1:46:50

The brig. So you the brig the brig! They sound so similar. The prison!

SPEAKER_07 1:46:55

Ah! It's okay. It's okay. Well, no, because either one, the brig will help you spring your prisoners so you can get out of there. The bridge would give you a light cruiser.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:08

That's true. I mean, I feel like we should get the prisoners first in any case.

SPEAKER_07 1:47:14

Because you could potentially also unlock the brig from the bridge.

SPEAKER_08 1:47:17

Could we could we take over this frigate, maybe? That'd be fun.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:22

Well, because like if we if we want to go to the bridge, close up that door so we have it, open the door to the brig, get our people out of the brig. Cause like the Tabana gas canisters are already on here. If Ahsoka was taking this wherever she was gonna take this, maybe she could use this thing.

SPEAKER_07 1:47:39

Yeah, because like I will say that um the when the Mandalorians stole that cruiser, they didn't really have any trouble just using it as like their mercenary transport. So there's probably some kind of tracking device that but it's probably not loaded with trackers.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:57

Yeah, yeah, okay. Let's go to the bridge. Let's close the thing on the bridge.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:02

Go to the wheelhouse.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:03

Open the brig. Get the people from the brig.

SPEAKER_08 1:48:08

Should we uh split up and cover more ground or I I don't know if uh I don't know if I can do it.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:14

Probably not time for that. Let's go. If you want to just head to the head to the bridge. Uh so do you want to stay out of sight? Sure. Ideally. Not try to start fights unless we gotta. Yeah, so that would be against probably the vigilance. Uh either the vigilance or the perception. Let's say their perception of the stormtroopers. Give you a destiny point here. So that'll be a red and a purple stealth. For success. Gala's got it.

SPEAKER_00 1:48:40

We all have to roll.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:42

I mean, if you're all sneaking, unless you're just letting Gala go to the bridge.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:46

Cala's like, okay, let's go, guys. Let's see.

SPEAKER_09 1:48:56

Oh no. Okay, I'll roll anyways. What's the stealth? What's the rule?

SPEAKER_08 1:49:00

Uh, a red and a purple. Three failures and two advantage, so. I mean, the despair's gonna really fuck us over here. I mean, which which despair?

SPEAKER_09 1:49:11

One or two. No, I'm kidding. I got one success, one threat. Okay. Well, I'm gonna get it.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:15

Maybe Elyria's despair is just that she bec she gets separated from the rest of us.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:20

So you can make it up to the bridge, Kala and Starzan, um, without being spotted, and so do Chris and Elyria. Or so you think. What? But before you enter, uh you can close the airlock door, and then you open the door to the bridge. Hello. And when you do, this person kind of scrambles out from under a little uh desk that they had been sort of smushed into when everything decompressed. And you can see based on the rank plaque on his chest that he is the captain of this Star Destroyer. Oh, do we know him? And he says, My name is Captain the Teleporno. B.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:03

Oh, right, this guy.

SPEAKER_07 1:50:04

Teleporno lurid. And I knew some people were coming on my ship as soon as I saw that airlock open. And I know that I have the self-destruct codes to this vessel. I will blow it up and kill us all. So surrender, or else we are going to die. Okay. Calling my bluff. Yeah. Do it. Alright. And he goes over to the command console. And he opens the little panel. He starts pressing in a series of uh But he has to actually go over to the command console first.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:37

Yeah, no, we're fucking knocking him out before he gets into like Star Trek. Yeah, can I quick draw and shoot him? Yeah, give me a give me a I'll enter the codes of bam!

SPEAKER_07 1:50:48

Give me a red.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:49

I'll aim twice, take two strain, because I forgot to meditate. Uh four success, three advantage, two light side, two dark side.

SPEAKER_07 1:50:58

Yeah, you can blast him before he can finish punching in the self-destruct code.

SPEAKER_03 1:51:03

Is he does that one hit him, or uh should I be critting him?

SPEAKER_07 1:51:07

No, these things blasters are pretty tough. You can crit him if you want. See what it does.

SPEAKER_03 1:51:11

No, may maybe maybe the advantage could be that uh if he has any control stuff or like equipment on his person, it isn't destroyed when I blast him.

SPEAKER_07 1:51:20

Yeah, well he's got like his code cylinders and everything.

SPEAKER_03 1:51:22

Yeah, if my advantage can be that that's at least not damaged. He falls down smoking hole.

SPEAKER_08 1:51:28

That way we can that way we can control it. I just I just love his like.

SPEAKER_05 1:51:33

Okay, let me go over.

SPEAKER_08 1:51:37

Do it. Just do it. We'll all die here. Sure, okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:51:42

Okay, we're here. We have the control we have control of this thing. Let's open the brig. Let's go get our people from the brig.

SPEAKER_07 1:51:49

You can open, you can spring the brig. Opening, like you can see on the security cameras, um, Ahsoka and Sabe and Zin are all being kept in a cell.

SPEAKER_03 1:51:59

How how can we see how many guards there are?

SPEAKER_07 1:52:02

There's uh a couple of guards outside their cell. There's a couple like in the prisoner lockup. There's no more than like one or two in any given area. And when the field goes down, do you unlock it?

SPEAKER_03 1:52:15

Should should we unlo should we lower the field or just unlock the door? I mean, Ahsoka's a Jedi though. Zin's a force user. They could probably fight their way out of it. And then we can also head that way.

SPEAKER_07 1:52:29

I mean, Zin's force adjacent.

SPEAKER_03 1:52:32

Ahsoka is a Jedi, but Ahsoka's a Jedi.

SPEAKER_07 1:52:35

Um Sabe is also canonically uh I mean she f she fought in the Battle of Naboo. She's she's she's at least as good at fighting as uh Elizabeth Swan. I mean, sure, let's just lower it all. So you can lower the fields and they waste no time at all. Between the three of them, they can take out the guards. They come up to the bridge, they can join you there, and they rush over and they and they say, What happened? Uh, I don't know. Apparently there was track in your vessel, Ahsoka. Yeah, I thought this might happen at some point. I was just hoping I'd be able to get a bit more use out of it. Uh Do you have bugs on your ship? No, it's that uh that crystal, the radiation signature is unique. It's what allows it to bypass shields, but it's also what makes it possible to track.

SPEAKER_08 1:53:26

Oh, so that is one of them what do you call them, catch 22s.

SPEAKER_03 1:53:31

I mean, look, I think we have control of this thing. The the canisters already on here. You wanted to, um, we clear out the rest of the troops, kill the trackers, you take this thing, Majinger.

SPEAKER_07 1:53:42

I think we could make use of a light cruiser, don't you? And Sabi says, yeah, I think that this would be very useful to us.

SPEAKER_03 1:53:48

Yeah, so what do you think? You two want to take this thing? It's a deal. Cool. And uh Ahsoka, before you got taken in, you were looking at the people in the uh the canisters, seeing if there are any Jedi that we should be taking with us. You see anyone? You remember?

SPEAKER_08 1:54:01

Well, so if you see Obi-Wan, we should probably keep him away from Dust.

SPEAKER_03 1:54:05

Oh yeah. Have we told you about him?

SPEAKER_08 1:54:07

Yeah, that's I mean, if he's still alive.

SPEAKER_03 1:54:10

Oh yeah, no, we're being on Front Street with everyone. You rem Do you know Darthmall? I heard of him. Didn't he die? Oh n yeah, no, allegedly, but no, he's alive. He's uh kinda helping us. Well like he's probably gonna betray us, almost certainly gonna betray us.

SPEAKER_08 1:54:27

Uh we we we're trying to keep him on uh uh a tight leash, but unfortunately he has us on a tighter, sexier leash.

SPEAKER_03 1:54:36

Of all the things to say in front of you, jerk and GF Chris.

SPEAKER_08 1:54:40

No, she understands. Yes, I keep him on the tightest, sexiest leash of all. See? I I'm afraid I'm afraid for my life for uh because of this woman, but I'd love it.

SPEAKER_03 1:54:55

No, like when we uh we're we are kind of stashing these things originally, so we get Zen out, we took them to him, and part of the deal was he gotta take out one person to possibly be his apprentice. It's a whole thing. But uh I I know it's like a bad idea. Yeah, probably. Probably Ahsoka. But I guess also having the crystal with a highly identifiable energy signature and then staying somewhere for multiple days in a row was also a bad idea, so I guess we're all making bad choices. Well, I'm sorry, that was a little high strung. I got like yanked out of a Bacta tank when I was still nude by some creep that was saying he was gonna make me his bride.

SPEAKER_07 1:55:32

Yeah, that tends to happen.

SPEAKER_03 1:55:33

Does it? Does that happen to you a bunch?

SPEAKER_08 1:55:36

I mean, once or twice, I think. Oh, I oh yeah, sorry. I was drunk that time, I apologize.

SPEAKER_07 1:55:41

There was this whole thing on Zygeria. I had to go undercover as like a slave girl. It was uh Hanakin was pretending to sell me. It was this whole thing.

SPEAKER_03 1:55:49

Oh, how old were you? I don't know, like 15?

SPEAKER_08 1:55:52

Yeah, that's that's terrible.

SPEAKER_03 1:55:54

Kalisetches has stinky face on this episode. Yucky! I don't like that. But uh But yeah, no, we're we're just trying to, you know, we don't want anyone to find that out later and then feel like we were keeping things from them or feel personally betrayed, so you know, we're trying to be upfront. It's probably a bad idea. But he also hates the Empire, hates Palpatine, highly motivated to to see them fall, and then you know, we're gonna have to deal with the whole problem later, but right now that's a later problem.

SPEAKER_07 1:56:24

Alright, so probably, you know, you know what we were saying before about uh different groups not knowing too much about what the other ones were doing, so that if any of us ended up uh captured and interrogated, we wouldn't be able to spill any particular beans.

SPEAKER_04 1:56:37

You're gonna be Are you gonna be really annoying and be like, why did you tell me?

SPEAKER_07 1:56:41

No, I'm just saying don't tell me anymore. You don't need to know where we're gonna take these things. I don't necessarily need to know who you're making deals with.

SPEAKER_08 1:56:50

I guess this uh answers my question from earlier. You really don't have to tell every everyone to everything to your allies.

SPEAKER_04 1:56:58

Oh la ba ba you got whatever. Anyways, did you find any Jedi that we might want to take back to our other base?

SPEAKER_07 1:57:07

Well, I don't even know what your other base is or where it is. Oh what?

SPEAKER_03 1:57:11

Well, I'm sorry. I thought we weren't telling each other anymore.

SPEAKER_07 1:57:15

We're not. But we're still allies, right? You've proven yourselves a couple of times, so I think I'm willing to trust you. Yay! High five, someone. Anyone. A little myth that you tried to crush me with a pillar that one time when you killed Master Plo, but It's okay. I forgive you.

SPEAKER_03 1:57:37

Oh you know what? I feel like we don't need to get into that. The past is the past. Can we all agree that the past is the past and we're all being different than we were on the past?

SPEAKER_07 1:57:46

Yeah, you were you didn't you thought you were helping, but you know, if anyone if anyone's uh gonna take the blame for all that, I think it would be well, it would be the Emperor and Darth Vader. I don't know how many Jedi Vader killed. I heard that he shish kebobbed Yoda.

SPEAKER_03 1:58:01

Holy fuck. Oh n oh uh It's okay, let it go. We don't need to know everything. We don't all need to know everything about each other.

SPEAKER_08 1:58:11

We need to know everything about each other. We could just survive the way we are.

SPEAKER_03 1:58:15

Even though I know Starzan really likes bringing it up to people.

SPEAKER_08 1:58:18

I mean, not anymore, right, Starzan? That was uh before the dark times.

SPEAKER_04 1:58:24

Yeah, wait, is b has he been taking credit for that? Just out of curiosity, has he been taking credit for that?

SPEAKER_07 1:58:30

Well, who else could have done it? Nobody else is powerful enough to kill the grandmaster of the entire Jedi Order.

SPEAKER_03 1:58:39

You are absolutely right.

SPEAKER_08 1:58:42

Who else indeed? I I I give I give him uh I give Starzan a fist bump like out of this guy's vision.

SPEAKER_07 1:58:52

What are you doing over there? Nothing. So if you don't mind, we'll handle the canisters of prisoners and we'll make sure that they end up somewhere safe.

SPEAKER_03 1:59:03

Okay. I mean just just.

SPEAKER_07 1:59:05

And if we cross paths again, then maybe I can tell you more, but there are places where Jedi can go that are havens. Unlikely, though they may be, they are havens.

SPEAKER_04 1:59:18

Okay, I'm just saying that our base is built in like an ancient Jedi temple that has like a whole like light side force virgins cooking in the basement. It's real nice to be around, but like, you know, you take care of it. You take care of it.

SPEAKER_07 1:59:32

Oh, a giant beacon of the force. Interesting, interesting, very clandestine.

SPEAKER_04 1:59:36

You know, look at this.

SPEAKER_07 1:59:38

Yeah, what the fuck guy. We've been looking for bla bases for places to hide, and uh as counterintuitive as it may seem, places that are strong in the dark side can actually kind of mask us.

SPEAKER_08 1:59:51

That's actually I kind of get that. Kind of like covering yourself with dead bile to walk past zombies.

SPEAKER_03 1:59:58

Sh, whatever. Anyways, we can get severance out of the canisters then, I guess, and just her that we're gonna take with us.

SPEAKER_07 2:00:05

Yeah, if there's anybody in particular that you would uh want to take on your ship, feel free.

SPEAKER_03 2:00:10

I think she's probably the only one in particular. Like, there was that one Jedi that uh what's her name was talking about, but I guess she'll go he'll go with uh with Ahsoka. So it's fine, it's fine. We'll take Severance.

SPEAKER_07 2:00:23

Alright, and I'm not even gonna ask what needs you have of a Severance Tan, I've heard of her. She's a Dark Jedi separatist commander, but that's your business. Again, I'm trusting you.

SPEAKER_03 2:00:32

Well, thank you for that.

SPEAKER_07 2:00:35

We trust you too.

SPEAKER_03 2:00:36

Cool. Let's get a lot of things.

SPEAKER_07 2:00:38

But if you ever do need my help for anything, you told me to burn Fulcrum.

SPEAKER_04 2:00:42

That's right, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 2:00:43

So here, and she hands you a little uh piece of paper. Remember these numbers, destroy this. And it is a uh communication channel, uh, and on it it says the name Pivot.

SPEAKER_03 2:00:55

Pivot! Ahsoka, have you considered you might need to be more creative with your with your code names? Leverage. Uh that's still kind of in the same category, though, as as folk you know what, never mind. Pivots. You know what?

SPEAKER_08 2:01:10

That's the least of our problems.

SPEAKER_03 2:01:12

Yeah, no, don't worry. We'll get rid of this card and I'll just write it in my personal notes. No one will find this. It doesn't even exist in this universe. Don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_08 2:01:25

Thankfully, you have a your character, sorry, has a photographic memory.

SPEAKER_03 2:01:29

Yeah, my character would never forget the person who portrays my character is stupid and tired. Okay, well, uh, best of luck out there then. Ahsoka and uh Sabe. Goodbye. Didn't didn't he help clear out the rest of these troopers, or he got it?

SPEAKER_07 2:01:45

Oh, I think we'll manage quite fine.

SPEAKER_03 2:01:47

Sick. Sick, nasty. Okay, let's go get Severance, just put her on the shuttle, take it back down to the planet to go to our ship.

SPEAKER_07 2:01:54

Yeah, you can uh collect Severance Tan, Frozen and Carbonite, take her uh on the clandestine crow or the hasty harpy, and take both ships back to Alishan, where you can unthaw her and maybe get some questions answered next time on Star Wars Empire Wreckers.
