Hey everyone, thanks for listening to Star Wars Empire Records, the Star Wars Actual Play podcast that's not afraid to do a mid-season TPK today. Who's ready to do an end-of-season TPK?
SPEAKER_07Callison's ready to do an end-of-season TPK because we had as we all know, it's a total party kill. But no party. Wait, no, that's not gonna work. I forgot I don't know what I was trying to go for. What I'm trying to say is that you can't have a party without some special king. You know, can I mean we all know that term?
SPEAKER_03We already do we already do TPK. TPK standing for stomachs and the calls.
SPEAKER_00No weapons available, no star sword, only a roll of teepee to dram down the enemies.
SPEAKER_07Hell yeah. Now let's hear from our last total party kill.
SPEAKER_05And Deliria is ready to use her new skill, preemptive avoidance, to disengage from any an engaged enemy as an end-of-turn incidental.
SPEAKER_04And if you're ready to disengage from life, why don't you come along with us to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away in Star Wars? It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships striking from a hidden base are preparing for their first strike against the evil galactic empire. During a clandestine mission, rebel spies managed to steal secret data about the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. With a small group of allies, the Empire Wreckers race towards the construction site at Geonosis, custodian of technology that can destroy the Emperor and restore freedom to the galaxy. So, since your last uh episode, since last time, you would have timed things so that you were able to uh coincide your journey with that of the Emperors, which would have given you time to uh collect and set into motion anything that you may need or may have wanted to do. Currently, uh, you are on board the light cruiser. Uh, but prior to that, Kala would have had her leg replaced.
SPEAKER_07Wait, did I lose my leg again last time?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, Bo Katan fucking melted it.
SPEAKER_07Oh right, I forgot about that. Thank goodness.
SPEAKER_04Thank goodness. Thank goodness I forgot about it.
SPEAKER_07So thank thank goodness I got that replaced.
SPEAKER_04Well, who who would have replaced it, do you think? And what kind of leg would it have been replaced with?
SPEAKER_07Would it have been Rusty? Does Rusty know how to replace a leg? I'm sure we got like medical people at our base, right? Or not Rusty, uh Frank? Oh my god, Frank, yes.
SPEAKER_04Um, well, you do have a medical person at your base. Her name is Elyria.
SPEAKER_07Is Elyria really our only medical talent on the base?
SPEAKER_05You don't have to sound like that.
SPEAKER_04You would also need some uh mechanical help.
SPEAKER_05I'm also so I like nothing.
SPEAKER_04I don't have any cybernetics that you hired. His name is Breaker. Uh he's decent at mechanical stuff as well. Uh but the question Can we do a combined role? I think we can assume we would have had enough time to replace it, but the question is what kind of leg are you replacing it with?
SPEAKER_05Gun. Gun leg. Gun leg, no.
SPEAKER_02Sword sort sword leg, sword leg. No, you're thinking like uh planet terror?
SPEAKER_07Or because let me see here. Are are there like benefits that I can get from cybernetics?
SPEAKER_04I mean I know there are, but uh Yeah, if you want to spend uh 10,000 credits, you could get a cybernetic leg that enhances your brawn or agility.
SPEAKER_07Oh, that would be good because like because the tree I just broke into doesn't have another dedication, so I'm not gonna be able to increase my stats, but maybe if I went for the one that increases my agility, and then I can be even better at shooting.
SPEAKER_04That's uh unless unless you wanted a uh a different type of limb. Like a cyber scanner limb.
SPEAKER_07A cyber scanner limb?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, if you want if you want to put a scanner in your leg.
SPEAKER_07I feel like that would just be kind of hard to uh elegantly uh scan things. Or what if it was a bespoke one that was crafted? I guess we don't really have I don't know if we'd have anyone who'd be like uh up for the up for crafting, though, as a daunting mechanics check.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, for purple.
SPEAKER_07Well if I wanted the agility one.
SPEAKER_04And so you since you guys would have had time to sort of set everything up. Would you have sought out a mechanic? Because it would have also taken some time for Breaker to rebuild his equipment. Um you probably would have had to have visited a couple of underworld uh shadow ports or gotten the crew of the Yonder to do it.
SPEAKER_02Do you know what uh do you know what she should get? Uh she should get an eye patch that scans things that along with her pegged leg, and a nice triangle hat. Yeah, carve her eye out too.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, do you have to get my eye out?
SPEAKER_02Uh not carve your eye out, just have an eye patch where it's just has sensors in it and you get to see through the sensors.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I think you gotta hook that up to your neural training.
SPEAKER_04So here's the thing, how about roll me out like a Streetwiser or Knowledge Underworld?
SPEAKER_07Okay. Like, can we just send out the crew of the yonder to recruit someone? What kind of Streetwiser Underworld?
SPEAKER_04Uh, this'll be to determine where to find somebody trustworthy to build you a new leg.
SPEAKER_07Okay, I'll do streetwise.
SPEAKER_04So we'll call it we'll we'll do it wild style. Give you a Destiny Point. We'll call it a red, a purple, and a black.
SPEAKER_07Wild style. Wild style! One success.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_07I can find someone trustworthy.
SPEAKER_04Fairly, fairly trustworthy. Uh, so you're not gonna get anybody who's like nemesis level, uh, but you don't get any uh threats or anything, so you can probably find a good rival level mechanic.
SPEAKER_07Okay. I can live with that.
SPEAKER_04This mechanic uh will have Are you sending the crew of the yonder out to like, hey, here go go get this leg for me along with your other supplies? Okay. And it's a daunting mechanics check to craft this leg. Do you want him to use any uh any destiny?
SPEAKER_07Um how much do we have?
SPEAKER_04Uh well I gave you one.
SPEAKER_07You gave me one.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so you guys have uh four at the moment.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, I if this is a long-term thing, let's let him use a destiny point.
SPEAKER_05What do you mean a long-term thing? Aren't we dying today?
SPEAKER_07Look, I have to be optimistic. Maybe I will need this in the future.
SPEAKER_02Maybe one of us will survive.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Wait, if all of us survive, where's all that money gonna go? Oh fuck.
SPEAKER_08Does that mean you already know which one of us survives? There's so much money.
SPEAKER_02Interesting.
SPEAKER_07Oh no. I don't like interesting. I don't like interesting.
SPEAKER_02I don't like interesting.
SPEAKER_07I don't like interesting.
SPEAKER_02Everything should just be good for us.
SPEAKER_04Uh so it only costs 5,000.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_04So they come back. The the mechanic got four success and two threats.
SPEAKER_07Hmm.
SPEAKER_04And you want you want agility?
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Okay. So yeah, they did it. They come back faster than you would expect you would have expected.
SPEAKER_07Is it difficult to install? I'm looking at the threats.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it is difficult to install. So the difficulty of the check to install the cybernetic is going to increase by one.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_04Who do you want to install this into you?
SPEAKER_07Ugh. This what is it gonna be to install it? Is this gonna be medicine or mechanics?
SPEAKER_04Installing cybernetics is a medicine check.
SPEAKER_07Oh thank goodness.
SPEAKER_04Uh so it starts as hard, so it's gonna be four purple.
SPEAKER_07Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_05That's that's it.
SPEAKER_04I will you know what? Let's let's keep it bouncing. I'll give you a destiny point. We'll make it a red and three purple.
SPEAKER_07Keep it bouncing!
SPEAKER_04Because of despair, you can suffer a critical injury from a botched surgery.
SPEAKER_05Oh my god. I can also re-roll a medicine check once per session. Dude. I think that's all I have for upgrades.
SPEAKER_07Did we accumulate any crits last time?
SPEAKER_04You did.
SPEAKER_07Oh man. Can you imagine if you accidentally killed me? Because I had it didn't have my crits healed when you installed this thing.
SPEAKER_04I think installing it is the healing.
SPEAKER_07Okay. Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_05I don't know what the point of having three yellows.
SPEAKER_07Oh no. What happened?
SPEAKER_05Four failure.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_05One advantage. Let me re-roll. I'll use my re-roll. Okay. Maybe I should use that later on, but uh let me re-roll this. Three failure. One triumph. Three advantage.
SPEAKER_07Is there someone else that you can call in with the triumph?
SPEAKER_04Well, the the failure with triumph is that you can't install this leg, but if you want to, you can use the parts from the leg to fix up Kala's existing leg.
SPEAKER_07What? And you're gonna take apart the leg I just got built?
SPEAKER_04Or you got a triumph and advantage?
SPEAKER_05One triumph, three advantage.
SPEAKER_04Okay, one triumph with three advantage. So before you left, you can take you can have taken Kala down into the the medical facilities of this uh underground city on Alishan where you've been making your base. I don't think you've really explored it all that thoroughly. It's a pretty big underground city. And they were doing a lot of odd scientific experimentation.
SPEAKER_07Ooh, do they have medical labs down there?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, they got medical labs. Like it was a scientific outpost where people were doing a regrow your leg.
SPEAKER_07Give me a clone leg.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, they're gonna parasite on the end of it like that. It won't be ready until you actually get to geonosis. It still needs some time to bake. But you can bring along a leg in like a vat that is that is growing. The uh outer layers of skin are still being stitched together, but uh you could potentially uh on the trip attach a clone of Kala's leg.
SPEAKER_07Sorry, you're you're saying the leg will be uh You're saying the leg will be ready when we get to Geonosis? Yeah, it's a flash-grown clone, so it's uh So there is a non-zero chance that the medicine check to put this leg on me fails and I have to spend this entire session legless.
SPEAKER_04No, you can do you can have the leg. You're you're prepped, it's just that the uh the leg itself isn't ready.
SPEAKER_07Okay, so it just has to be socketed on then.
SPEAKER_08And it's a clone of her own leg, it's not gonna be like a Tamara Morrison leg.
SPEAKER_07Okay, well I guess I'll have a clone leg then.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, you can you can deroboticize yourself, get your get an actual leg back.
SPEAKER_05A normal shitty leg instead of a good fake leg.
SPEAKER_04Now. While you were preparing.
SPEAKER_07That means I can't I'm not gonna have the plus. That's not oh man! So I'm not gonna get the bonus to agility. Unequip my cybernetic leg. Fine. Paid five thousand dollars for it. Don't even get to have a bonus to my agility.
SPEAKER_04Well, it's still there if you want to, like, you have three legs.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
unknownOh my god.
SPEAKER_05Like you can decide on the hold on to the leg for the next time you for the next time you use lose a leg.
SPEAKER_07But if I get the opposite leg chopped off and then I have to have two left feet, I'll never be good at dancing. Then you'll never fuck.
SPEAKER_04Two seconds, man. So while you were getting prepared, um, did you make Trilla face her own demons?
SPEAKER_07Because I I think that it's like we were we were like, oh, maybe she should go do that with a Jedi while we're out. I don't know if any of the Jedi went down there with her to do that.
SPEAKER_04Well, do you do you want that to have happened?
SPEAKER_07What do you think? Yeah, probably.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, sure.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_04So I'm gonna roll I'm just gonna roll a force die to see if she succeeded. Ooh, one light side.
SPEAKER_07Oh, does that mean she she's defeated her darkness?
SPEAKER_04Uh when you yeah, when you returned to Alishan the last time, you did notice that she seemed a lot less threatening, as if she could no longer access the dark side of the force.
SPEAKER_07How how does she feel about that? Bad?
SPEAKER_04Well, uh, she feels like she's uh wearing a blindfold and earmuffs.
SPEAKER_07Eh, she'll get used to it. She wasn't someone who had to use the force to uh fuel her senses, was she?
SPEAKER_04No.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_04But it's just it's damp now.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, her force is damp. I guess she she did not go through the uh the character growth to be like we are coming back around before getting her darkness blasted out. She's just going cold turkey.
SPEAKER_08Yeah. Cold blast.
SPEAKER_07Look, she'll be fine. She probably won't be very useful to us on this mission, but like she'll be fine. Are you bringing her? I don't know if we should, honestly. Like, if she's.
SPEAKER_04Who are you bringing with you? Because on this ship, so you have Sabe's uh light cruiser. Sabe is there. It's her ship. Uh she has a crew made up of freed slaves that have begun helping her fight against the huts.
SPEAKER_07Um Is Ahsoka with her?
SPEAKER_04Ahsoka's not with her.
SPEAKER_07Oh, do they I thought they were staying together or did they separate? I guess they must have separated.
SPEAKER_04Breaker is uh Breaker's coming because he has to operate the equipment.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Uh ooh, I'm like, should we bring Grey? Because Grey would have uh be able to talk the Imperial talk if we needed help uh bullshitting. But also, if this if this does end up being a suicide mission, we will need someone to run the base.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so before before you left, uh Grey would have outlined the plan that he and the others came up with. And the plan is thus, and based on that, you can maybe decide who else you want to bring. There are any other external forces that you might want to get involved for whatever reason. Yeah. So basically, what Grey laid out to you before you left was that they have the schedule for the Emperor's next inspection. He's gonna be arriving to Geonosis aboard his flagship, the ISS Majestic, the Star Destroyer, which will dock with the skeletal superstructure of the battle station. From there, his itinerary is to board a shuttle and take a guided tour of the superstructure.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_04So Breaker has analyzed Moth Loam's code cylinder and is able to generate up-to-date encryption algorithms for uh the Light Cruiser's IFF. It is going to be borrowing the registry of a cruiser called the Shirak. And in order to transmit the signal using Breaker's equipment, you need to be within the superstructure itself. A short-range burst is gonna be harder to detect than something that you're casting across the entire Imperial fleet that's there. And since all of the construction vehicles are working on the Death Star, doing it from inside is probably gonna give you the best chance of not being detected. So you're gonna have to fly into the under construction Death Star.
SPEAKER_07And so that's the signal to make it like crash down into the planet, into Geonosis.
SPEAKER_04To take over the construction vehicles, and then from there you give it the whatever orders you want.
SPEAKER_07Okay. Because like the construction vehicles, would that include Palpatine Shuttle, or would it just be a little bit?
SPEAKER_04Just the KDY stuff.
SPEAKER_07Okay. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Um, because Imperial Shuttles are they're made by a different company, Cygnus Spaceworks. You might, depending on Breaker, how good Breaker's equipment is, um, because Star Destroyers are KDY.
SPEAKER_09Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Maybe Star Destroyers you might be able to affect, but they are also a lot more robust in terms of like resisting electronic attacks.
SPEAKER_07Mm-hmm. Because, like, okay, so we have to bring Breaker to actually initiate this thing. Um, I I can fly the ship, that's no problem.
SPEAKER_04And would I guess in terms of the timing as well, Gray uh would have made a couple of suggestions. So you kind of have two options. Number one is to kick this thing off once Palpatine's Star Destroyer is docked with the Death Star. Yeah. It takes a long time for a Star Destroyer to dock and undock with the space station. There's a lot of metal clamps and stuff. So the Star Destroyer might not be able to escape before the station enters Freefall, but there are also a lot of escape pods and shuttles aboard. Option two is to wait until Palpatine is in his tour shuttle and hope that the station as it falls crashes into him and destroys him.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_04Option two A. Okay. Standard Imperial procedure, Palpatine's shuttle will have an escort of two TIE fighters. The Imperial Light cruiser has three TIE fighters docked aboard it. Theoretically, you could take those ties out and try to destroy Palpatine's shuttle uh just on its own.
SPEAKER_07Oh. That's true. Do we have any pilots on the base?
SPEAKER_02Anybody who's a crazy motherfucker.
SPEAKER_07Any fighter pilots?
SPEAKER_02Any out-of-character zap roused hours?
SPEAKER_04Well, you have Kala. You have uh Roar War, who is the pilot of the Yonder.
SPEAKER_07Oh yeah. So probably just me and Roar War then.
SPEAKER_02Congratulations, you're you're being enlisted.
SPEAKER_07If if we're because we're still dealing with Palpatine, which makes me feel like I should probably be focusing on having a suppression field of extreme range.
SPEAKER_04TIE fighters are pretty cramped, but maybe you could like somebody could fly you.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Well, because I'm like, if I had that committed, like, would I be able to fly at the same time?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, if it's a if it's a committed power, then that's yeah, you can do absolutely don't have to focus on it. The other thing is, even though you have the IFF codes, the Shirak is not supposed to be there, the ship you're pretending to be, so you will need to sweet talk the Empire once you arrive. That's okay.
SPEAKER_02We have a sweet talking robot yourself.
SPEAKER_07I was gonna say, like, I thought we had a sweet talking Chris.
SPEAKER_02People call me a sex machine. How could I not take that into every part of my life?
SPEAKER_04And Gray also warns uh that once things pop off, the Empire is going to identify the ship as the source of the signal. Standard Imperial procedure is to do a boarding first to recover the cruiser and identify what technology was being used to uh take over the construction vehicles. So the light cruiser will most likely be boarded.
SPEAKER_06Oh.
SPEAKER_04But once they realize who you are, they will probably switch to just uh destruction. And Gray uh he doesn't say it, but it is very obvious that in the plan that Gray and everybody else came up with, they do not have a plan to get you guys out.
SPEAKER_07Well then like, cause as far as like having on the ship for if/slash when stormtroopers board, like maybe it'd be a good idea if there's like any of our Jedi people who would want to come to assist with like holding the ship, so to speak, and like So you did mention Palpatine.
SPEAKER_04Is it a good idea to have a concentration of several Jedi in one place?
SPEAKER_07God damn, that's a good point. Also, I was thinking, attitudes may vary on this. We have been helping Darth Maul with the assumption that he would help us to take down the Empire.
SPEAKER_02What what's to say that he's actually gonna help us?
SPEAKER_07Okay, but if not, then like we've just been abetted a crime lord for no reason at all. I mean, I feel like we should at least try to be like, hey dude, how is that?
SPEAKER_02It's time to cash in your chips, man.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, it's time for you to hold up your end of the deal. Like, if you've been if you have been if he has been amassing, like, various criminal enterpi empires, they may have some he may have something of a fleet under his command. Maybe a small army where it's like, hey, if you guys can come in, like, after we get this thing falling, just to make sure that Palpatine doesn't escape, basically. Like, shoot at escape shuttles. I know that's not ideal. I know there's gonna be like regular people going on those, but like, may like if we don't get him bringing down the station, like make sure he doesn't get out, basically. You know? I feel like we should at least try to cash this in, because that's kind of the whole point.
SPEAKER_02I mean, if there's any time to do it, it's the uh series, I mean season finale.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, we're all definitely getting out of this alive.
SPEAKER_02Well, probably the title of the uh episode's gonna be called DOA.
SPEAKER_07The gang does a suicide run. Can we try to contact him?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, if you want to uh try and contact Mull, I assume you're using uh you're slicing your your calm equipment aboard your ship.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, our encrypted stuff.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Gotta encrypt my calls to my boyfriend.
SPEAKER_07That you say in Adelaria.
SPEAKER_05No, I was making fun of you.
SPEAKER_07I know it's easy to do.
SPEAKER_04So you can uh call over to Lotham. Minor and the droid proxy answers and he says, Oh, hello friends. It's been a while since we have talked.
SPEAKER_07Yes, hello, proxy. Uh, you master around?
SPEAKER_04He is uh currently in a meeting. Shall I interrupt him?
SPEAKER_07Yes. Uh well, mm, well what kind of meeting? How long is it you uh expect he's gonna be in there?
SPEAKER_04He is currently treating with a hut by the name of Ganis to try and secure his allegiance for his upcoming criminal enterprise.
SPEAKER_07Oh, I don't know if we'd want to be interrupted there, because that sounds like that might be uh beneficial if it goes through.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you're you're not wrong. We do need to cash this in, though.
SPEAKER_07We do need to cash this in. Hey, uh, hey Proxy.
SPEAKER_02Can can you can you can you um take a message? Can you like put pass him a note or something?
SPEAKER_07Like i if if you think that you can pass him a note without being murderized, um that uh we have a plan to uh take down Palpatine. Is he gonna help us or not?
SPEAKER_04I will pass along the message.
SPEAKER_07Okay. I don't know, g do you think it's gonna be quick, uh, you letting us know, or should he just call us back?
SPEAKER_04I'm sending the message through now.
SPEAKER_07Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_02We'll we'll just wait here. Hey, uh, how how have you been, man?
SPEAKER_07Yeah, you've been proxy. Yeah. You still putting on uh the Dooku with the big gazangas for fun?
SPEAKER_02Or profit.
SPEAKER_07Or prophet.
SPEAKER_04Dooku is a very robust training program.
SPEAKER_07Does he does he ever request you to be Dooku with the big gazangas?
SPEAKER_04Unfortunately, the big gazangas interfere with my ability to repost.
SPEAKER_07Oh, that is unfortunate. Uh, yes, that would be bad. You never want to be without your big gazangas, but sometimes you gotta be as I can catch you through. Okay, cool.
SPEAKER_02He didn't have enough of this conversation, I get that.
SPEAKER_04So he fizzles out. And you see, like, a little hologram of Maul and uh a bloated uh swampy hut that he's meeting with on Lotho Minor. And Maul says. What kind of assistance were you requesting?
SPEAKER_07Well, we're not sure what kind of uh what forces you've uh been able yeah, you've accumulated, acquired. Cause uh the the crux of the plan, basically, we got the uh the Emperor's schedule for visiting uh uh a superstructure that's under construction. We are gonna be able to bring the structure down, hopefully be able to uh take down the Emperor in a shuttle while it's going down, but if you have any ships or vessels or other forces that can also be present just to be extra certain that he does not escape from that shuttle or escape from the planet.
SPEAKER_04An Imperial construction project.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. What's with the way you're saying that?
SPEAKER_02That sounds like a I I think he's cooking. I think he's cooking.
SPEAKER_07Perception?
SPEAKER_02Wanna perceive him? I want to see uh uh I want to know what he's cooking.
SPEAKER_07I do like saying that in character voice, like Callos that's just on the radio, like perception!
SPEAKER_04I wanna perceive you.
SPEAKER_07Can I perceive you, Maul? Hey, stay still, I gotta perceive you for a second.
SPEAKER_05He says that, you just go, hmm.
SPEAKER_04His uh cool, his uh deception. I think he's lying to you? Or just wanna read him?
SPEAKER_07I just wanna read him. I don't know if he's like he hasn't said anything to be a lie, but it's like uh that'll be a three purple. Three purple, okay. One success.
SPEAKER_04Two success and two threat. So you can kind of get an idea. Uh Chris, you can't read him as well as Kala can, so you're not sure exactly what he's getting at. Kala, you kind of have an idea. Um the w he said Imperial Construction Project, he n it might be something that he's heard about, but he you don't get the sense that he knows exactly what it is, but um it's probably not going to be completely new information to him.
SPEAKER_02In fact, he might add on to what we've already that this is why this is why we need him.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. You uh you have a sort of spark of recognition in your eye there, Mal. Is there anything you know about this?
SPEAKER_02I was gonna say you have a sparkle in your eye, but you do You're Chris just like you got a sparkle in your eye.
SPEAKER_07Tell us a story.
SPEAKER_04Well, I don't know if what you speak of is the same as what I'm thinking of, but the Geonosian diaspora has quite a mercenary streak to them.
SPEAKER_07The what? Would we know what that is?
SPEAKER_04The Geonosian Diaspora, yeah, that would be the Geonosians who uh don't live on Geonosis no more.
SPEAKER_07The way you said Geonosian was very weird there. I was like, the g the j the j it sounded like the Ginosians, and I was like, Who's Ginos? Like the Ginorsos.
SPEAKER_02Oh no, there's so many brunettes here.
SPEAKER_04I have heard tell of uh something big being constructed in the outer rim. Something that may be a weapon.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, we're thinking that uh, you know, get rid of that thing, get rid of the emperor, bing bang boom. That's a twofa one. You know a twofa?
SPEAKER_04That is an interesting plan, but uh such a facility would no doubt be heavily defended. Do you want me to send my forces at it to be destroyed?
SPEAKER_07Well not well, because our plan is uh includes the destruction of it. We actually have a uh an undercover ship that we should be able to get in real close, and it's not gonna be until we actually, you know, take control of the station and get it to crash into Geonosis that, you know, things are probably gonna start popping off.
SPEAKER_04Taking control of the station.
SPEAKER_07Well, to make it crash, to get rid of it.
SPEAKER_04And how are you proposing to do that?
SPEAKER_07We got our ways, Maul. Don't you worry about that.
SPEAKER_04You are a bit strong in the force, but I do not think you have the ability to destroy something of that magnitude.
SPEAKER_07I don't need to have the force ability to destroy something like that, my friend. That's why we're crashing it into a planet. A planet's very big and very much has the the ability to destroy something like that.
SPEAKER_04Without the aid of the force, this battle station, if that's what it is, would likely need to be brought down by the very forces constructing it. In order to do that, you would need access to technology that could arrest the capabilities of other vehicles.
SPEAKER_07Yes, we would, wouldn't we? What are you getting at here?
SPEAKER_04And in order to arrive at Geonosis unmolested, you would need an Imperial vessel.
SPEAKER_07Mal, you're talking with a tone that's putting me a little bit on edge. What are we getting at?
SPEAKER_04My associate Ganus has recently lost the maker of such a piece of technology, and has recently been hunting a stolen Imperial cruiser.
SPEAKER_02What is he getting at?
SPEAKER_07Oh, the guy that we stole this slicer from, that's the hut that's in the room with him right now, and I forgot that that was the hut. Well, it's a good thing that's unrelated, then, isn't it?
SPEAKER_04Malk, he just kinda smiles a little bit, and he turns back to Ganis, and he turns back to you, and he says, Perhaps we will see you at Geonosis. And he cuts the transmission.
SPEAKER_07I'm so mad. I'm so mad now.
SPEAKER_02So, uh, that feels as though that didn't go too well.
SPEAKER_07Ugh. I just gotta put my head through a window next time I decide to talk.

SPEAKER_02I punched so many holes through a wall.
unknownGod.
SPEAKER_07Okay, well, gang, we might have.
SPEAKER_08I don't even want to be around anymore.
SPEAKER_07I don't wanna be here. I can't believe we tried to cash in one of our ally ships that's been cooking for a while, and this is what's happened. Well, let the gang know.
SPEAKER_02Like, I I feel as though he owes us, like, so much.
SPEAKER_07If that hoe turns up and actually betrays us, I'm going to space myself. I'm gonna be ticked.
SPEAKER_02Mall's about to kill you, and like, you know what? Nah. I'm gonna go.

SPEAKER_07Okay, well, I guess let the team know. Uh oops, we might have done a f we might have done a whoopsie-doo.
SPEAKER_02No fault of our own. We uh everything we did was perfect.
SPEAKER_07God.
SPEAKER_02Any other preparations you want to make?
SPEAKER_08Any other enemies you want to alert?
SPEAKER_07Someone else make a suggestion.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, do you wanna do wanna bring it up? Previsla's armor with you so uh Bo Katan and the Mandalorians show up.
SPEAKER_08Would that help?
SPEAKER_02Would that help?
SPEAKER_07I don't know.
SPEAKER_02I mean maybe. Wait, actually, actually, actually.
SPEAKER_07Just introduce some chaos into the mix. Bring the darksaber while you're at it.
SPEAKER_02I c I actually. Yeah. Can we call all of our enemies and tell them where we're gonna be? Particularly the enemies that are against Palpatine.
SPEAKER_07Are you gonna Okay, do we are we do we have to call up Bo Katan and get her on the hollow and just like have the Darksaber like turned on and swinging like a donger in front of us, like, ooh, come get us a genosis.
SPEAKER_02What's her number?
SPEAKER_07Did we get that? I don't think we did. I don't know if we call her up.
SPEAKER_02I I I I text messaged Zin, hey, you wouldn't happen to have Bo Katan's number. I'm I'm a number of headband.
SPEAKER_04So Zin, she was working in the Senate. She was working uh with people who knew people who knew people. Mandalore never joined the Republic uh or the Empire. Their representation in the Senate was minimal, so I don't think she'd have any Mandalorian contacts, especially none that are on the more mercenary side of things. Shh. Fine.
SPEAKER_02I do one of my I don't know.
SPEAKER_07What does everyone else want to do?
SPEAKER_02I I don't really play Far Cry games anymore, but one of my favorite things to do is just lure everything around there and just watch from a distance. It's the best. Uh yep. Can we can we can can we can we cash in any other friendships?
SPEAKER_07Can we can is do we have a way of contacting Ahsoka of contacting Pivot? Her new her new codename.
SPEAKER_04You have a mind harp. Have you been practicing with that?
SPEAKER_07Oh yeah, Chris. Do you want mind harper?
SPEAKER_04I can mind harper. Yeah, who do you want to try and mind harp? Because you could potentially mind harp various different people.
SPEAKER_05Uh hey everyone, meet me at Geonosis if you can in one month if you want an ass kicking.
SPEAKER_07Cause, okay, like who who who might we want to um get? There's uh there's there's Ahsoka. I'm like looking back at my notes and being like, what names, names, what are names? Elyria's parents are with us. I don't know how much you can see.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, they're they're on Alishan, being adults.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Um Can I mine harp Poketan? No. You could if you uh You could.
SPEAKER_07You're really focused on her.
SPEAKER_02Is there is uh like is there anybody else that we can think of here? Because like I'll like I'll do it. I am kind of I'm I'm mad enough, man. I'm mad enough.
SPEAKER_07You know, it might just make things wack-a-doo enough. Like maybe maybe Ahsoka first, see if you can mind Harper.
SPEAKER_04Because what would be the uh benefit of getting Ahsoka involved?
SPEAKER_07I guess.
SPEAKER_04Because it's the same, like you have Jedi.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04It may or may not even be a bring be a good idea to bring them.
SPEAKER_07The Jedi, yeah. So maybe if we just see if we can get Bo Katan, lure her out.
SPEAKER_02Okay. Give me my harp.
SPEAKER_07Wheel your harp, sir.
SPEAKER_02Uh I get my two assistants that you guys have never seen before uh to wheel out my harp. It's not as if that it needs wheels, but I have them wheel it out anyway.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, it's like a tiny handheld harp. You have it on a cart.
SPEAKER_02Thank you, Alfred.
SPEAKER_07Go welcome, sir!
SPEAKER_02It's a it's an old crickety robot.
SPEAKER_04So this will be roll me a charm with your force dice. A charm with my force dice. Yeah. Do I just roll the force dice or the charm and force dice? Charm and force. It'll be against three purple.
SPEAKER_07I'm gonna leave the room before you do this, because I remember that uh Avaloth does not like the mind harp and it makes me feel all oogy inside.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, that's something you could do. You could bring out the monster.
SPEAKER_07Oh god, do you want to summon Avaloth? Yeah, we're not gonna deal with Kala today. Look, if we if we almost get a TPK, maybe I can do that again. Everyone else has to roll up new characters and I'll just continue playing as Abeloth next time.
SPEAKER_04I w I wonder if Abeloth how she would feel about this powerful wizard that's would she see him as competition?
SPEAKER_07Would she see him as a friend? Shaped like a friend. I don't know if there I I could really communicate with Abeloth in any meaningful way. Maybe if I stay in here while Chris mind harps, then I'll uh I'll get thrown into a brain blast with her. Actually, I'm not gonna leave. Let's see what happens, Chris. Mind your harp.
SPEAKER_02Alright, let's see what kind of chaos I can muster. Alright, so uh here we go. I got what the fuck? I got uh uh where six success, one advantage, two triumphs, two light side, and one dark side. Okay.
SPEAKER_04That's an insane role. That is an insane role. You're calling you're harp- who are you harping? Bo Katan? Uh uh Bo Bo Katan. Yeah, you can be explicit in your message to her.
SPEAKER_05He just got really good at the mind harp because he would use it all the time to be like you up to Zan.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Would you like to be explicit with Bo Katan?
SPEAKER_02I I I was ex uh explicit by saying you up, Bo Katan, but like not in that way.
SPEAKER_07Uh I'm looking back at my notes and I'm seeing the note that uh Starz or Starzan was going by Twercules, and I'm like, what if it's like she gets the mind message, but it's just you and you put on the armor and you have the sword and you just drop an ass to taunt her? Drop it low.
SPEAKER_02What it uh what if I told you uh or does she she doesn't know where the uh darksaber is, right?
SPEAKER_04No.
SPEAKER_02What uh uh I will tell her, it's like what if I told you I know exactly where uh exactly where to find the lightsaber and when Well, you're you're sit you're singing a song in her head, so she can't answer. Okay, well okay. Uh meet uh meet us at uh the coordinate the coordinates of the uh Yeah, come to Geonosis for an ass kicking. The geonosis for for an ass kick uh kicking. Uh we uh you you can also uh you can also help with the uh bringing down of the Emperor. Uh two birds, one stone. Uh if you're fe if you're feeling lucky, uh we're feeling lucky too. Signed two percent.
SPEAKER_08Two percent is.
SPEAKER_04So you can send that message, hopefully she gets it, and hopefully she uh takes action.
SPEAKER_02Because if we if we how if we if we plant the lightsaber on somebody, she can kill that person for the lightsaber, and then we can continue and then, you know, we don't have to die for having the lightsaber.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, we'll slip the darksaber into Palpatine's pocket. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I don't think that'll work. I think he might be able to wield that fucker, but still it sounds like a good idea.
SPEAKER_07He might be able to become the new Mandalore. I mean, I don't know who else we can call. I clearly made a bad choice, but um, what do we say? We just want to do this? We just want to make it happen? Who's that big monster again? Avalon? Abaloth. Hey, Aboloth, you up! Just yell to myself. Let me focus real hard and be like, Abaloth, you up.
SPEAKER_04Okay, uh, give me a discipline then.
SPEAKER_07Oh no, okay.
SPEAKER_04Give me a discipline against your own discipline, but I'll give you a destiny point. So upgrade one of those.
SPEAKER_07Okay, so against three red. Cool. Interesting. One failure, one threat, one triumph. She has she has nothing to say over to me, but I don't get immediately get taken over.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, you're not losing it. Um, you can feel her stirring in there, where it's like, should something happen, she could be brought out.
SPEAKER_07Okay. I'm prime in the pump.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_07You know, it's like how I have to set five uh alarms in a row to be able to wake up to get to work in the morning. This is just the first alarm for Abeloth. This is the uh, you know, it's gone off, but you're allowed to go back to sleep for another 15 minutes. What I'm saying is I'm not getting taken over just yet.

SPEAKER_02I I I have a care pat I have a care package filled with my poems, my uh my uh my poems, my best pictures. A very wealthy professional take took those uh pictures for me. They're not very good, I overspent, but you know what? It's a thought that counts.

SPEAKER_04Trulis Starzan. Isn't there anything you'd like to say to me?
SPEAKER_08Um nope. Congratulations on uh choosing the light. It's hard decision. Choosing. Strong word there.
SPEAKER_04Well, I have a very good, big, broad reason for doing it.
SPEAKER_07Bw Aw, you are turning her good with your uh no no penis. With your penis.
SPEAKER_08She's into broads. Oh, you guys were wrong this whole time.
SPEAKER_07Side-eye Illyria. Oh this time, you say.
SPEAKER_08This makes a lot of sense. It's all coming together.
SPEAKER_07Oh yeah, and I'll I'll go say bye to um to ma to Master Sanjong before we go. I feel like we uh have a long history and just like, you know, make sure everything's uh okay if we don't make it back, Master. Make sure that, you know, if things are different this time. If we don't make it back.
SPEAKER_04Well, if you don't come back, and if you do come back, that is as the force will sit. Ugh. This fucking guy. Right?
SPEAKER_07You know, I just like made a point to come to you, and it's like, hey, I'm probably gonna die here, and I'm uh really putting a lot of hope that if you rebuild the Jedi Order, it's gonna be better than it was, and that's what you have to say to me, Master? Ichu!
SPEAKER_04I can tell that you are under a lot of stress. I will not hold your comments against you.
SPEAKER_07You bitch, I'm going. I hope I die. I'm gonna put my head through a window after this.
SPEAKER_05I mean, if they have to rebuild, they gotta rebuild big, so they gotta kidnap so many more kids. No!
SPEAKER_07We specifically didn't want that to happen! Okay, let's go. Let's go. We're done here. Let's leave.
SPEAKER_04You you can have gone.
SPEAKER_07Let's get out of here.
SPEAKER_04You can have got out of there. Uh, we rejoined the present aboard the ship disguised as the Shirak after uh Illyria made her astrogation roll. Um, Genosis is in the outer rim, it's kind of the other end of the galaxy. And you do want to uh approach, you want to choose your approach, so we'll call it a three purple.
SPEAKER_07That's for astrogation?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_05For success.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_07Nice.
SPEAKER_04So no advantage or triumph, so you can't pop out right in the middle of the superstructure. But you can arrive uh where an Imperial cruiser would be expected to arrive, and when you do, you can follow standard procedure, transmit the IFF codes from Breaker, and you get a hail.
SPEAKER_07That's all you, Chris.
SPEAKER_02Uh uh, bonjour.
SPEAKER_04Hello, uh, Shirak. Uh, we've received your IFF codes, but we don't have you on the itinerary. Can you explain what you're doing here?
SPEAKER_02This is uh we are here for a an emergency investigation. We have heard that there has been uh uh some possible dang uh some possible dangers uh afoot on the uh structure uh structure here, and we are here to investigate to make sure that there's nothing more uh insidious going on. Okay, give me a uh deception. Decepties down at uh what kind of deception?
SPEAKER_04So this'll be against is discipline. That's gonna be against two reds and a purple. Two reds and a purple. You have five destiny points.
SPEAKER_02Fuck. I'm uh flip one of those destinies to downgrade the red. Three success. Uh sorry. Three success, three threat, one light side, one dark side. To which I will use a light side to get rid of a- You already used a destiny point, so. Never the fuck you mine then.
SPEAKER_04And they say, Oh, you mean making sure that everything is alright ahead of the inspection?
SPEAKER_02Oh. Uh uh absolute uh absolutely uh we uh we're here.
SPEAKER_04I don't have you on which manifest as part of the Emperor's Entourage. Uh can you send through your credentials again?
SPEAKER_02Um didn't add uh I'm gonna be able to do that.
SPEAKER_04I didn't I did a specific code clearance for the Emperor's visit.
SPEAKER_02Um this was a uh uh Canbreaker make us some new stuff. Um just the okay and break it. Uh the the the the this was a uh uh this one's uh directly from the emp uh emperor himself and uh is uh and is off the books. He wants to make sure that we are uh he wants to make sure that we are in are basically invisible invisible here. This is just between me and you by za by the way. This is we're here to make sure that uh everything doesn't just look uh look good for when the big guys get here. We want to make sure that we are kind of like the hidden shopper where we are making sure that everything uh uh everything is uh uh minimal here, so technically I shouldn't be saying uh this to any of you, but I'm not one of the crew. I uh I'm not one of the crew, so I'm just here I'm just here to transfer them.
SPEAKER_07You're not a member of the people. I know that you're gonna be cool about hearing this after all, buddy. You know, you're the most important member of the Empire.
SPEAKER_04What she said. Are you so you're trying to charm him now? Yeah. Like you're letting him in on a big secret? Okay. Yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Okay, so uh this'll be against uh his cool then. Um give you a destiny point, that'll be against Arendt Purple. Red and Purple and roll.
SPEAKER_02I got three success, three advantage, one light side, one dark side.
SPEAKER_01Ooh.
SPEAKER_02There's so many symbols on the screen all at once. I just it confuses my uh primitive lizard brain every time.
SPEAKER_07There's so many advantages you could crit him with your charms.
SPEAKER_04And he says, Uh, yes, I think I understand. We had been told to expect perhaps uh an imperial knight or two would be joining the inspection. I I take it to mean that is you?
SPEAKER_02Uh yes. Uh we we, Monomie.
SPEAKER_04Very well, Sir Knight. Um can continue on. We will have everything ready for the Emperor's arrival.
SPEAKER_02Alright, but rem but remember, we're not ac uh we're not actually here.
SPEAKER_04Yes, of course. You are not you are not here. And just one more question. Should I relay a message from you to Lord Vader when he arrives?
SPEAKER_02Uh uh just tell him everything uh everything is going according to plan.
SPEAKER_04Alright, I will pass the message on. As soon as Lord Vader arrives, I will tell him that you said everything is going according to plan.
SPEAKER_02And you know, make sure he doesn't uh make sure you don't tell him who it's from. You just tell him that and he will know what you what you are talking about.
SPEAKER_04Of course, of course. I will just say it was from the uh Imperial Knights who arrived uh on the Shirak just before he did.
SPEAKER_01Srr. Srrrr.
SPEAKER_07You know I wanna- Just before? While we're in transit, because I I just want to get my suppression field on and as strong as possible.
SPEAKER_04Well why don't you uh Cal, give me a piloting role.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_04Because the Emperor's not here yet, it seems.
SPEAKER_07Okay. So you're gonna have to find just a steer in.
SPEAKER_04Uh yeah, you guys are gonna have to fly the cruiser into the Death Star superstructure.
SPEAKER_06Okay, what would that be?
SPEAKER_04So this is uh your, you know, a year in change after uh Revenge of the Sith. So it's not it's not too much more put together than it was kind of at the end of that movie. It's b uh basically just like the the wireframe with some uh a few internal spokes, but Okay. So this type of cruiser has a minus two to handling, so you're gonna have to add two blacks.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_04What do you have for destiny? You got what okay, you got five, so you don't need one. Um but it is still gonna be pretty difficult. We'll call it a uh three purple and two blacks.
SPEAKER_07Three purple and two blacks. Yeah. Do I I don't think I have anything that specifically helps me with piloting my specializations? I think my piloting's pretty decent. Um, four success, one threat, one triumph.
SPEAKER_04Look at you go. So you can fly, you can position the ship at a very advantageous position. Um, where do you want to put it?
SPEAKER_07Would it be possible to kind of like fly the ship in and maybe position it in a way where it's not going to be immediately visible, like to any ships that are coming in? So it's like if the Emperor's uh Star Destroyer is docking, it won't immediately be like, hey, what's that thing there?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, you can sort of nestle it in behind uh some other junk that is.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Cause then I can also maybe take a little bit more time to like do some meditation while I'm rolling my suppress to try to get that committed. Just calm my mind. Maybe Illyria will come and hold my hands and meditate with me while I calm my mind and try to get my suppress on.
SPEAKER_00Get my suppress on.
SPEAKER_07Would there be any because this is just like a pure force roll, would there be any way for my friends to give me a boost?
SPEAKER_04Um, on your force? Probably not. But as you did get that threat. As you bring the cruiser towards the superstructure, you do get another hail from the battle station itself. And it says Uh, like cruiser Shirak, you're entering restricted space. Please return to formation.
SPEAKER_02Uh, but uh we were told that we would be able to uh uh go this way.
SPEAKER_04Who told you you could do that?
SPEAKER_02Did we get that name of the uh Twitter? Darth Helmet. No, wait. Um Sean Levy.
SPEAKER_07Just naming names.
SPEAKER_02Um Favreau.
SPEAKER_07I think you could just be like, yeah, because we could get the name of the guy that we were talking to, but it's just like, A, we're Imperial Knights here for an inspection, I guess.
SPEAKER_02Uh we we have sp uh we have special permission. We have uh we are uh uh uh special we are Imperial Knights on a uh uh secret mission that uh only a few only a few people know about, so key uh mum is Z word. You give me a charm. Let's charm it. This will be a two purple.
SPEAKER_07Two purple, what a pushover.
SPEAKER_02Right. Oh, why did I add black?
SPEAKER_07They're not they're not getting used to the- I need a challenge. They're not giving us their best and brightest.
SPEAKER_02Four it uh four success and three light side, which I will use to make advantages.
SPEAKER_04Nice. So he says, uh, alright, let me just clear it with the command ship. Yes, yes, of course. Um, yes, they confirmed. Continue on your mission. I won't speak a word of it to anybody.
SPEAKER_06There we go.
SPEAKER_02Remember, Mum is the word.
SPEAKER_04Mum is the word. You can park your ship. Uh, Callie, we're gonna set up your uh suppression field.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Uh would okay, would there be enough time for me to roll more than once for this? Because this first one, I got four dark side and two light side. And it's like, uh, two light side, I'm gonna need the range, and uh I don't know if that's really gonna be enough to get me through. Probably.
SPEAKER_04Like, if you're just trying to get the right sort of feel on it.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Okay. It's like, okay, that was a little bit too much dark side. Maybe I woke Abeloth up a little bit too much before when I was just yelling at her. Just take a couple deep breaths and we'll try again. We'll try again. That sucks though. If I was able to use the dark side, that's a great roll. That was like doubles on everything. Okay, I'll try one more time. Big deep breath. Okay, what one dark side, three light side. Three light side. That's better. I can work with that a little bit more.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_07But yeah, so one for the basic power, one for strength, one for range, and then I'll just commit all three of my force to keep that active. So I won't be able to do any mastery powers because I do not dare uncommit, but also that probably would not be coming up anyways. Okay. So any force power is gonna have three failure added to it. And if I get targeted, it reduces it by three force but die.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so um you are meditating, you're getting all of your stuff ready, your suppression field.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Then two star destroyers pop out of hyperspace.
SPEAKER_09Ooh.
SPEAKER_04At the uh the edge of the Geonosian fleet. One hangs back, and one continues on towards the battle station superstructure to dock with it.
SPEAKER_07Okay, I'm guessing the one that's hanging back, that's probably Vaders then. Unless it's uh the Emperor's hanging back. There's no way to know. Well, actually, can we tell which one is which? Because we know that the Emperor is coming on the uh the Majestic? What was it?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Well, uh, Gray did say that the itinerary said that uh the majestic would be docking with the superstructure.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Okay. So we'll we'll we'll wait. We're are we gonna let him uh let them dock, right, and then try to take them out after.
SPEAKER_04You're gonna go wait till the emperor is in the shuttle. When they go in their shuttle.
SPEAKER_07Or do we just want to wait till they're docked and the uh emperor is maybe still on there? Okay. Because having uh uh having Roar War and I in the TIE Fighters would probably require uh Roar War or I to be um telling the lie about why we're there. But like I'm okay at lying at least, if it's like, oh yeah, we are ya, we're ya escorts. Roar war definitely could have. They're not sending a Wookiee in there to in a TIE fighter to escort the Emperor.
SPEAKER_08Even some sort of like voice modulator thing, or even just like a robot.
SPEAKER_05I kinda like the little shuttle idea, just because then we don't have to do it face to face.
SPEAKER_07I mean, either way, we don't gonna have to do a face-to-face, but also it's like I feel like the little shuttle might be good just because it's like if there's a whole bunch of escape pods that start blasting out of this thing, like that's gonna be a lot to keep track of, and like a lot of potentially like innocent-ish people that will have to blow up in the process.
SPEAKER_05Whereas like if the innocent Nazis.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, innocent-ish heroes on both sides. All these not literally the Emperor of the Galaxy people. Just follow orders. Or, you know, at least, you know, it's gonna be a little bit easier to tell which one has the emperor and to focus on that one when we're trying to bring it down. So, uh, do we wanna try to put Roarwar and I in the in the TIE Fighters? Good idea. As well. Okay. So we'll wait till the Emperor goes in his shuttle to take control. I've done my my my thing. I have my stuff committed. I'll go and get ready in a TIE Fighter.
SPEAKER_05Are we properly attired to fit in?
SPEAKER_07In a TIE fighter?
SPEAKER_05I like our clothes. Well, we're in. We've got a month to prepare.
SPEAKER_07We're in our own ship. Like it's not the the the we're not gonna be out in like the hallways of the Death Star. It's just it's just a skeleton, so we're not gonna be getting face to face. Okay. We'll be fine. It's gonna be work out great. It's gonna work out great.
SPEAKER_08Everyone's feelings about this are good.
SPEAKER_07We all feel we're all feeling fine.
SPEAKER_04Okay, so uh everybody's waiting on the ship while uh Kala heads out with Roar War in TIE Fighters to try and intercept the Emperor's tour shuttle.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Okay. Kala, you and Roar War can climb into a couple of ties and head out into space. And you can head down to where you see the majestic dock to at uh the equator of the superstructure. There are some sort of rudimentary hangars and docking uh areas that have already been constructed. There is some interior room in there, even though it's not uh fully built out. And as you approach, you can see the Emperor's shuttle departing the hangar bay with two Thai escorts.
SPEAKER_07Can I can I uh maybe hail the other ties and just like uh extra security detail joining on your side?
SPEAKER_04And you get a hail back. We weren't told about this?
SPEAKER_07Uh this is just uh purely on the hush-hush uh only uh uh for uh Is Chris calling me and then I'm hold is Chris calling me and then I'm holding my communicator up to the radio, like making two AI chatbots talk to each other.
SPEAKER_02I'm j I'm just used to sweet talking, everybody.
SPEAKER_07No, I wish that you could hear Chris, but you're not here. I think this has to be me or Roar War. Okay, never mind.
SPEAKER_08So unless you can like serenode Bergewak your way through this.
SPEAKER_07Uh maybe.
SPEAKER_04Can Chris whisper in my ear to give me a blue? Um yeah, if you want to have conspired beforehand to come up with a lie.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_04For what in case anybody asks.
SPEAKER_07Okay. This uh no, we uh we uh security forces from the station. We've had uh we've heard that there might be some uh extra security risks that are popping up, so we just want to make sure that the Emperor stays safe.
SPEAKER_04Oh, I thought that was handled.
SPEAKER_07Well, you never can be too safe with the Emperor's life, can ya?
SPEAKER_04Um alright. Uh I'll have to confirm with Black Leader, though.
SPEAKER_07Uh that's fine.
SPEAKER_04And you hear, like, a joined comm channel, and uh the pilot on the other end says, uh, Black Leader, do you know about any uh additional security from the station? And you hear on the other end, Darth Vader says, No, I haven't been told about that.
SPEAKER_07Uh oh. It's a uh new uh It's uh some intel that was of concern to us. We just want to exercise extra security.
SPEAKER_04Putting on a fake voice?
SPEAKER_07Well, Vader knows what I sound like.
SPEAKER_04This is uh You sound familiar, pilot. Have we flown together before?
SPEAKER_07I can't say I've had the honor. Lord Black Leader.
SPEAKER_08Lord Black Leader. Lord Black Leader.
SPEAKER_07I was gonna call him Lord Vader, but I'm like, wait, is that a personal thing? I'll just go with what the other pilot said.
SPEAKER_04Um, it's gonna be a deception.
SPEAKER_07Okay. Or a charm? I don't know. No, please let me do a deception. Please let me do a deception.
SPEAKER_04Okay. Uh so this is going to be against Darth Vader's uh discipline. That is gonna be against three reds and two purples. Uh you can add a I'll say you can add two blues. You are putting on a fake voice and you are doing it through a radio.
SPEAKER_07And I can already add a blue deception.
SPEAKER_08It feels like Anakin might just be anybody's fool.
SPEAKER_07Two red and two purple. What do we have for Destiny?
SPEAKER_04Uh no, it's three red and two purple.
SPEAKER_07Three red and two purple. Oh, what do we have for Destiny?
SPEAKER_04Uh, you got three.
SPEAKER_07I'm gonna flip one and get another yellow. I'm sure this'll be fine. It's all fine. Ooh, one failure, three advantage. He doesn't have normal things. Maybe it's just like, oh, are you blue too? We flew together before. Maybe he thinks we're someone else entirely.
SPEAKER_05And he says, Where are these fucking Mandalorians?
SPEAKER_04You feel very familiar to me. Oh, it's alright. If you perform poorly, I wouldn't hold it against you. It's uh I'm difficult to keep up with.
SPEAKER_07Oh, you I I didn't want to say anything. It was pretty embarrassing last time, but you you certainly know your way around a tie, Lord Vader.
SPEAKER_04And you see, like, kind of lazily drifting in front of you a black Jedi interceptor. Did you think I'd be caught dead in one of those things?
SPEAKER_07Well, if you were in one of those things, you're probably you know what I'm not gonna uh that's for us to be doing is being caught dead in these, right? We have less. We have less. I'm gonna die in this thing.
SPEAKER_04Alright, well, uh, I'm gonna call you Black Three. Uh Black Three, who's your superior officer? Because I wasn't told about the extra security precautions.
SPEAKER_07Oh, did Chris get the names of either of those guys that we talked to? I mean, do we have a destiny point in order to do that?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, you have some destiny points if you want to have done that. Let's do it.
SPEAKER_07Sure, what was the name of one of the guys that uh was like, okay, you're good.
SPEAKER_02What was his name, Chris? Uh his name was Dave Falone, the biggest villain of them all.
SPEAKER_07I guess I could well, we already flipped a destiny point. Oh yeah, we um we uh we uh cleared a it was uh Officer Falone. Officer Falone. Oh god, my voice, my voice. Officer Falone.
SPEAKER_04Oh, you are right. I thought I uh heard something garbled on the other end of the day.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, no, sorry, sorry, black leader. This uh my radio's just a little uh it's a little crackly, but it was Officer Faloni.
SPEAKER_08That sorry sounded suspiciously Canadian when I heard that.
SPEAKER_07Sorry Is that Illyria?
SPEAKER_04Well no, uh this Darth Vader also has a Canadian accent.
SPEAKER_07That's true. Oh my god. Oh my goodness. The Empire is all Canadians. Darth Vader uh also loves uh going out boot in a boot.
SPEAKER_04Can you uh can you check your systems for me?
SPEAKER_07Uh of course, of course, Black Leader for anything in particular.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, uh handling feels a little bit off. Are you getting that?
SPEAKER_07I think you might be right. Is it right? Is it feeling a little bit off?
SPEAKER_04It might be for him a guy who uses the force to fly.
SPEAKER_07Oh You know you know, sir, I I think you're right. It might be the gravitational pull of the station throwing things off.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, I've uh must say that I've rarely flown through anything so big.
SPEAKER_07Oh my god, I wonder if we would respond to that. That's what she said, Lord Black Leader.
SPEAKER_04Uh sorry, who said this?
SPEAKER_07Never mind. Yeah, never mind. She's like, I my the the handling on my on my tie is a little off. I make jokes when I'm nervous. Do I make you uncomfortable, Black Three?
SPEAKER_02Oh no. I was expecting that, actually.
SPEAKER_05Why is he talking so much with an underling?
SPEAKER_07No, no. I feel like he probably misses being able to talk to people casually. I feel like he misses doing bong rips. No, you don't want to be able to do that.
SPEAKER_05Imagine the bong rips you could do in the fucking Vader helmet.
SPEAKER_07Oh my god, imagine the bong rips in this little enclosed space and you just hotbox this whole thing. Oh no, Black Leader. I've I've also just never flown through anything this big. It makes you feel a lot of awe, doesn't it?
SPEAKER_04So Black Three, uh, where where did we uh fly together again? I don't think.
SPEAKER_07Can I roll perception on him? I is like, is he completely on to me right now? Um It kinda feels like it. It kinda feels like he might be.
SPEAKER_04Perception uh against his cool.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Okay, that'll be against three reds and a purple.
SPEAKER_07Okay. You know what? Actually, I am actually better than him at this. Three reds and a purple? Ever so slightly, because I can add a blue. Oh, one success, one advantage.
SPEAKER_04So you don't get the sense that um he's on to you.
SPEAKER_07Crap, what was a battle? What was a battle? I can I uh can I roll? I mean, we we were in the Imperial Knights. Was there uh any notable incidents where he would have been flying that I would know of? I feel like we would just we could just know that.
SPEAKER_04That would be probably a retroactive perception.
SPEAKER_07Okay, what would that be as a retroactive perception?
SPEAKER_04Uh probably a three purple.
SPEAKER_07A three purple, okay. Whoa, that's embarrassing.
SPEAKER_02Oh no.
SPEAKER_07I just got a s I got a the roll before against three red and a purple, I got a success and advantage. This one against just three little purple, I got a failure and five advantage. Is it a trick question? Is he trying to trick me?
SPEAKER_04It's not a trick question, um, but I think you probably would know that you don't have a good answer for this.
SPEAKER_07I just oh, y you you caught me, uh black leader. You know, I I've never actually flown with you before, but I am a really big fan. I've uh, you know, oh I I I've I've watched some of the old hollows of you flying.
SPEAKER_04I understand now, yeah, that makes sense.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, you know, you're actually the reason why we wanted to see the simulator, didn't they? They did uh did you not know did they not tell you about that?
SPEAKER_04You've been my virtual wingman. That's kind of embarrassing, actually.
SPEAKER_07It is really embarrassing. I am embarrassed. I am sorry, that's really cringe, isn't it? When we're done here, Lord Vay uh our black leader, could I get an autograph? No, no, don't answer that. That's stupid. Sorry, forget I said anything.
SPEAKER_04Hey Black Three, I'm still feeling a little bit of uh pull on my controls here. Why don't we uh go for a quick run here? Let's just do some diagnostics.
SPEAKER_07Okay, buddy, let's go! Sure!
SPEAKER_04Okay. Uh so he peels off.
SPEAKER_07Uh Roar War's sticking with the Emperor at least.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, Roarwar staying behind. He wants you to follow him. Basically, just doing kind of a stunt track through the Death Star superstructure.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_04Just to sort of uh kind of possibly out of boredom, but also because he is uh having some problems flying.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Maybe he'll just crash into the superstructure and save us a whole lot of problems.
SPEAKER_08Could we could we subtly make that happen?
SPEAKER_07I mean, I already am kind of subtly making something happen for him just by suppressing his force.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. So, um you are not going to be able to keep up.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_04But to see how well, to see how badly you fall behind, uh, that is gonna be again a piloting against his piloting.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_04Uh so that is gonna be a piloting against four reds and a purple.
SPEAKER_08Is this because he tried spinning?
SPEAKER_07Oh god, I should try spinning. That's such a good trick.
SPEAKER_08That's a great trick.
SPEAKER_07God, this is this feels like a stupid one to flip a Dacity Point for when it's like, no, you absolutely will not be able to keep up. You know what? No, no, I'm not gonna flip one. I'll just I'll just let it ride. Ooh. One failure, three threat. God, he's good at piloting. I'm not that good. Yeah, I'm gonna do that.
SPEAKER_05You should compliment him after tell him Say that's a wizard annie.
SPEAKER_07That's so wizard annie. Oh no, no, no, that's so wizard annie! No, that's so wizard black leader!
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so you fall behind really badly, to the point where it's like he's getting far enough away that the comm starts to get a little crackly. And um you just hear him saying, sure you can made it through basic training. But as as he's leading you away.
SPEAKER_07Oh god, he's gonna exit the field. He's- Oh, is he gonna catch on? Is he gonna catch on to me?
SPEAKER_04No, he doesn't he do well, you got three threats, so he does exit your suppression field. You do fall behind that much, but he is now significantly further away from the shuttle.
SPEAKER_07Oh no, so that means the emperor is out of my field too.
SPEAKER_05It also means the emperor is open to attack.
SPEAKER_04On your side channel, uh, a grunt comes through in Shriwook.
SPEAKER_07I'm coming back, Roar War.
SPEAKER_04Well no, he's asking, should I take the shot now?
SPEAKER_07Well, because we were still gonna try to take down, like, get the shuttle. Also, should we Yeah, should you guys?
SPEAKER_05Should we send off the code to You know what?
SPEAKER_07Anakin because he is really far away. Maybe this would be the time. Roar War takes the shot, you guys initiate the the takeover, just make it pop off.
SPEAKER_04Okay, do you want to initiate the uh the takeover before Roar War takes the shot?
SPEAKER_07Or should we do it first? Maybe do it first so Roar War can get the jump on him. Yeah. Okay, do it Roarwall. Do it rollwall, we got this.
SPEAKER_04Okay, so Roar War is gonna fire and you guys are are you gonna do it at the same time? Is it gonna be like a haunt and grito thing?
SPEAKER_07Oh, like for them uh them doing the thing, yeah. No one will even know what happened. There's so much confusion.
SPEAKER_04Okay, so let's uh check his gunnery then. So he gets two advantages. He fires, he misses.
SPEAKER_07Maybe it just does looks like oh he's like trying to defend the shuttle. It doesn't work.
SPEAKER_04The Emperor's shuttle, in response, juke's out of the way. Now the pilot of the Emperor's shuttle will have to do some fancy flying because is Breaker uh gonna initiate the the takeover?
SPEAKER_05Yes.
SPEAKER_04Okay, so he's gonna uh ask for Illyria's help here.
SPEAKER_05What do you need?
SPEAKER_04Uh so this is gonna be because you're gonna need to activate a couple of things at the same time. So this is going to be a give you a Destiny Point Red, purple, black computers.
SPEAKER_05One failure, two advantage.
unknownOh no.
SPEAKER_04Alright, so you're a little out of sync. Uh so there's gonna be no extra penalties applied, but uh you got two advantage, so they're not gonna have any extra advantages on this. So it's a very slow, gradual process, but breaker inputs his codes, starts to kick in, the broadcast signal goes out, flip the switch to takeover, and start steering all of the construction vehicles towards the planet. So this is going to be the pilot of the shuttle. Three success two advantages. The shuttle easily dodges out of the way of the slowly moving Death Star superstructure. And the two TIE fighters that are actually escorting the Emperor, they start turning around to fire on Roar War.
SPEAKER_07No, can I sit back and try to defend Roar War?
SPEAKER_04Uh, you could, but it would mean Vader would follow.
SPEAKER_07Maybe it's better for me to just trust in War War and try to keep Vader away.
SPEAKER_06Oh god, but Roar War!
SPEAKER_04Well, let's see if uh Roar War is a better pilot than these guys are gunners. Oh boy.
SPEAKER_07Let's see.
SPEAKER_05It's war, baby. He knows what he was getting into.
SPEAKER_04More like War Roar.
SPEAKER_07Uh I'm having like preemptive anguish because I know what I'm gonna do.
SPEAKER_04Oh, two success and a triumph.
SPEAKER_07Oh, he's got it. He's got it.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. And Anakin says, Hey, uh, you know this was fun, but I think we should head back. I kinda got a bad feeling.
SPEAKER_07You sure? You sure, you sure? I uh got you know, I'm I'm really sort of starting to get the feel for this. I feel like maybe I just gotta loosen up these controls a little bit more. Can you show me some tricks, sir? I hear about spinning. You ever done some spinning?
SPEAKER_04Give me a charm.
SPEAKER_07Oh man, my charm's not so good. What's it gonna be?
SPEAKER_04Three reds and a purple.
SPEAKER_07Two green and a blue. Could I okay, could I add an extra blue because he is vain and enjoys being flattered?
SPEAKER_04Sure.
SPEAKER_07And this is about f this is about pile thing. What do we have for destiny?
SPEAKER_04You have two.
SPEAKER_07Oh, I'm not gonna flip it. I don't think it's worth it. I'm probably gonna fail this regardless.
SPEAKER_02My god.
SPEAKER_07Four failure and a despair.
SPEAKER_08Yeah. Oh my god. The like the microphone glitched there for a second.
SPEAKER_01No, it didn't, that was just me.
SPEAKER_04So Vader rounds a corner in his Starfighter, and the Shirak is revealed to him and says, What's a light cruiser doing out here? It's not supposed to be there. And then what's a signal? Picking up a strange signal. This is a this is an override signal.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god! How about that? Oh no, the Emperor!
SPEAKER_04Alright, Black Three, follow me.
SPEAKER_05Okay, oh god! Yeah, follow behind him.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, okay. We'll follow behind him, see if I can get an opening. Maybe I can blast him.
SPEAKER_04Right, we're gonna uh take out the Calm dish there. Stop him from broadcasting whatever they're broadcasting.
SPEAKER_07Good, good, good, good, good. Okay, I'm gonna shoot at Anakin. Oh no, we can't do oh nope, nope, nope, nope. Oh, okay, my agility's okay! I don't have any ranks in Gunnery, but okay. Okay, what's it gonna be from Gunnery?
SPEAKER_04This is a combat Jackie is piloting, so he his adversary would come into play. He's got adversary four. Okay Uh your ship is your ships are the same silhouette, so that's gonna be two reds and two purple gunnery. Um does he have I no, you guys are not shielded. Why would you be shielded?
SPEAKER_07Why would we be shielded? Why ever would we be? Oh, you know what? I am gonna flip a destiny point here to get a uh a yellow on that.
SPEAKER_05She's right behind him, so she should be in his suppression. He should be in her suppression field.
SPEAKER_07I have quick strike! Does this count as quick strike? Yeah, it would count as quick strike. Yeah. Okay, I got how many ranks of quick strike? Is it just the one? Let me see. Just the one. For a success, two advantage, baby. I blast that boy!
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Blast him right up right up the ass. What would the crit be on these guns? Could I crit him? I don't think two advantage will be enough with a tie.
SPEAKER_04Uh, crit three.
SPEAKER_07Ah. Maybe he thinks that someone else is shooting at him. He doesn't register that as me. I can get a second shot.
SPEAKER_08Somebody's shooting at all of us.
SPEAKER_07Oh my god, someone shot at all of us.
SPEAKER_05Just start saying, ah, I took some damage.
SPEAKER_07Whoops. Oh no! They're on my tail, Black Leader!
SPEAKER_04Help me, Black Leader!
SPEAKER_07Help me, Black Leader, you're my only hope!
SPEAKER_04Tie guns do six, so that's ten. The armor is two. Uh so you do eight. These things have ten hull, so you you mess them up pretty bad.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Can't can't I yell just like, Black Leader, they're firing on us! Wasn't me. You didn't see shit!
SPEAKER_06Oh, Anakin caught me red handed.
SPEAKER_04So he starts trailing smoke.
SPEAKER_06Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_04You hit him, he dodges, he's onto you. He cuts the comms channel. He's onto you.
SPEAKER_01Dang! He didn't buy it.
SPEAKER_04And he dodges down. So these lights. Hang on, hang on, hang on.
SPEAKER_07Wait, hang on one sec. Wait, hold up. I ooh, I don't know if this would work though, because the damage was to his vehicle but not to him. Because I have disorient and I can activate that with two advantages. Would could that count on Anakin?
SPEAKER_04Uh I mean if his ship was hit, he was probably pretty disoriented.
SPEAKER_07I'm I'm gonna spend my cause I didn't really use those to advantage, unless you had something cooking, but I might just want to use them here. I only have one rank in disorient, so I can use those to disorient him for one round.
SPEAKER_04Okay, that'll give him uh a black.
SPEAKER_07Okay. I might need that.
SPEAKER_04Uh, what's your gunnery?
SPEAKER_07My gunnery? Yeah. Um, well, I don't got no rank, so three gr four green.
SPEAKER_04Okay. So we'll see if he can dodge you. Uh five success, two threats, and a triumph. Woo! So he takes his ship, he flies it in between uh these light cruisers. The front of them isn't just like a solid triangle, it's like a fork prong. And in the middle of that prong is the entrance to the hangar bay. He flies in there to evade you and to land his ship. He gets two threats, so his ship, Revenge of the Sith style, comes skidding around on the floor of the hangar bay.
SPEAKER_07Wait, is this an R-ship?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, he leaps out of the cockpit, lightsaber out. Those of you on the bridge can see him. It's like uh the Mandalorian, except instead of Luke Skywalker coming in, it's uh a completely healthy, fully uninjured Darth Vader, and he is pissed.
SPEAKER_06Oh no! Oh no! TV. Just mentum.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, the Death Star is still moving, uh, but up in the bridge on your sensors, you can see that like Imperial ships are starting to come towards your position. Uh through the comms, you can hear Roar War is still uh playing cat and mouse with the Emperor's shuttle.
SPEAKER_07I mean, if Anakin is on the ship, that's a you guys problem for now. Can I try to regroup with Roar War to take down the Emperor's shuttle?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, did you post uh Frank to repel any borders?
SPEAKER_07I think we would have. That's what he that's what he was brought on for.
SPEAKER_04Alright, I'm gonna I'm gonna do I'm gonna see who uh who gets the first shot, Frank or Darth Vader.
SPEAKER_07Oh Frank! Oh Frank go! Maybe we can repair him if he gets caught up if he gets chopped.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, these droids don't have great uh vigilance, actually.
SPEAKER_06Oh no, Frank!
SPEAKER_04Uh yeah, Anakin definitely can go first.
SPEAKER_06Oh Frank!
SPEAKER_07Frank!
SPEAKER_04Well Frank's got two adversary.
SPEAKER_07How many does Anakin have?
SPEAKER_04He's got four, but that doesn't uh doesn't really come into play right now. Okay. Don't worry. Uh one success and six advantages. So Frank is fucking dead. Uh you see on the security cameras, one of the first things he does, Anakin comes down, lightsaber, igniting in the air, slashing right through Frank, bisecting him as he lands.
unknownNo!
SPEAKER_07Maybe we can get his parts and we can fix them later.
SPEAKER_04I don't know, it went right through his head.
SPEAKER_07Oh, anything's possible when you believe and you love a droid!
SPEAKER_08Power of friendship.
SPEAKER_04Uh, so Kala, you can turn back uh towards uh where there's a chase going on. The ties are going after Roar War. Roar War's going after the Emperor's shuttle. Uh, let's see if these ties can get 'em. Ooh, blank.
SPEAKER_07Oh, nice. So they don't get Roar War?
SPEAKER_04They don't get 'em. Let's see if Roar War gets uh the Emperor. One advantage. So he's able to keep the Emperor's Shuttle uh from escaping, sort of corralling it with blast from the Tide. War War's gone, the Tide Pilots have gone, the Emperor is gonna go.
SPEAKER_07Oh can I at least get close enough that he would be back in the suppression field?
SPEAKER_04Um give me a piloting.
SPEAKER_09Okay.
SPEAKER_04Uh kind of piloting. Give you a destiny point. You're gonna have to really uh push your ship there. So we'll call it a red, two purple and a black piloting.
SPEAKER_07Okay. You know what? I still let's see. Ooh, one advantage.
SPEAKER_04This this role is gonna be unobstructed. Any other role he makes after this, when you're in range, will be obstructed.
SPEAKER_07Okay. Cause when it's committed, because for like a control commit, when an opponent targets the user with a force power after the opponent generates force, reduce it, blah blah blah ba-da-bada. So would that only count if it's a power that is specifically going to impact me? I'm guessing this probably would though.
SPEAKER_04Uh so oh shit. What? Pelpaty's got a force rating of eight. Uh, he got eight darks and one light.
SPEAKER_07I gotta put my head through a window. I'm gonna put my head through my windshield.
SPEAKER_04So, seemingly, for no reason whatsoever, Roar War's tie just goes spinning off and crashes into some of the superstructure.
SPEAKER_07No! Crap!
SPEAKER_02Boy, we're losing some good ones today. Hey, where's that chaos I ordered?
SPEAKER_07If Maul doesn't show up, to at least, I'm gonna McFlip and lose it, dude. If Maul and Bo Katan do not show up to insert some chaos, I'm gonna McFlip and lose it!
SPEAKER_04So, uh, on the security monitors, you can see Darth Vader uh cutting through doors as you guys are locking them, making his way up to the bridge. Uh, Sabe is on the comms telling uh all of her crew to just leave wherever they are and try and get to the bridge. Try and get behind as many doors as they can, or to try and get away from the bridge, because that's where Vader is going.
SPEAKER_07Or if you load everyone on the bridge and then open all the other airlocks. Yay!
SPEAKER_05If only this was the Enterprise and then we could just undock the front of it.
SPEAKER_07Goodbye!
SPEAKER_08See ya. See a loser! Is there any kind of life support we can shut off to certain areas?
SPEAKER_04Uh, that'd probably be a computer's.
SPEAKER_05Hey everybody uh don't suffocate. Hold your breath!
SPEAKER_08Well, like certain areas of the ship you can cut off, not the whole thing.
SPEAKER_05Like the hall. Yeah. We've closed doors.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so this is gonna be you're gonna have to be quick. You're probably not familiar with these particular systems. You did hack them once, but Imperial Imperial stuff, well, I mean it's Republic stuff basically, so you probably won't get any blacks for that. Uh so it'll be a two purple and a black. Just one black for the speed at which you'll have to do it.
SPEAKER_05Five success.
SPEAKER_04Okay, yeah. So what do you want to shut down and where?
SPEAKER_05The the air in the the the hallways.
SPEAKER_08Do you have gravity in the hallways too?
SPEAKER_07Oh! Do you okay, do you want to turn off the air or do you want to like try to open an emergency airlock or something to try to blast him out?
SPEAKER_05Yes. Okay, so you can depressurize that bitch.
SPEAKER_04You can track him through the halls until he comes to a room that has an emergency airlock. You can open it. Now this is gonna be a a vigilance. See if he could respond. How many successes did you get? Five?
SPEAKER_05Five. Okay.
SPEAKER_04That's a lot. Uh two success, three threats, and a triumph.
SPEAKER_06No!
SPEAKER_04So he can respond. The triumph is gonna be able to upgrade his role, but the threats he's gonna have blacks. And this is gonna be probably an athletics on his part.
SPEAKER_05See, halfway through the hatch, can I close him? Chopping him in half!
SPEAKER_07Oh, he will get chopped in half! Hooray! Could you imagine if this is where Anakin ended up getting uh chopped up? And then also uh he got lit on fire a little bit, so he gotta have his full character arc after all.
SPEAKER_05No, I just think we should take him to the virgins in the forest and take away his dark side.
SPEAKER_07Ugh, that'd be funny. Okay, what if his dark side uh monster is too powerful though and it escapes and kills everyone else in the base? It would be very funny to neuter Anakin.
SPEAKER_04So he got four success, one advantage on his lightsaber roll, his athletics roll, so he is able to grab his uh take his lightsaber, jam it into the floor. So it like he doesn't get sucked out, and he's able to reach out with the force, press the button, and close the door.
SPEAKER_07Oh, come on.
SPEAKER_04And then you see him like exhaling his his held breath as he continues just trying to slice through doors to get up to the bridge.
SPEAKER_08Keep going, keep going, more computers.
SPEAKER_04Kala, you have now reached uh the Emperor Chase. Roar War is dead.
SPEAKER_06Oh gosh.
SPEAKER_04Uh the shuttle and the two ties are banking out of the superstructure and going back towards where the Star Destroyer is. The battle station is slowly still being towed towards the surface, uh, to such a degree that now somebody on the light cruiser needs to keep it moving, or else it's the Death Star is gonna crash into you.
SPEAKER_07Gosh can I try to get can I try to shoot at the Emperor's shuttle? I guess like I gotta commit. I gotta commit to this.
SPEAKER_04Alright, your similar silhouettes would be a two-purple gunnery once you're in range.
SPEAKER_07That feels too easy. I know it's just gunnery, but like, oh, three success, baby. Three success.
SPEAKER_04So these things are a lot tougher. So you can blast at it. The armor gets it a little bit, it's got shields, pretty high hull threshold, 25, as opposed to a tie which has uh six.
SPEAKER_07Was Roar War able to get oh no, he wasn't able to sh to shoot it before uh he got splatted. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04But now that you've kind of uh exposed yourself, the other two ties are swinging around, they're gonna blast at you.
SPEAKER_07Great. Great, great and awesome. Okay. Can I roll to evade them?
SPEAKER_04If you want to evade. Because you didn't use a maneuver to aim or anything, so you can do evasive maneuvers.
SPEAKER_07Oh yeah, that's true. Oh man, I'm not using my maneuvers. I'm not using my I'm not using my uh bump shit up.
SPEAKER_04They get two success. So, two success. Atai's gun does six. Atai has six hull threshold, it has two armor. Am I dead? Uh, you have no hull threshold left if you cross over that, like you're at six. It's the same as your health.
SPEAKER_05Oh gosh.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_05Run away, run away.
SPEAKER_07What if I did a reverse Anakin thing and I go and crash inside their Star Destroyer? Except I'm not Darth Vader, so that would not go nearly as well for me. I mean, boo boy. But no, because if if Anakin's like cutting his way up to the hull, then it's like maybe it'd be safer for me to try to get back to our ship for now.
SPEAKER_04Okay. Yes. So he can peel off, try and outrun the tides.
SPEAKER_07But then then Palpatine's out of the field again. I gotta stay close to Palpatine. Oh no! Hang on! Oh god, we might have to. Maybe if I get close enough to suppress him a little bit, maybe I can focus on suppressing Anakin, one problem at a time. Yeah, I'll try to get back to our ship.
SPEAKER_05Can we start driving to where they are?
SPEAKER_04So here's the thing. It's not a bad idea. TIE f TIE fighters do not have life support. Which means that in order to fly this, uh, you would have to be wearing a Thai pilot suit.
SPEAKER_07Does that mean like if I blast it off, I would t technically survive?
SPEAKER_04If you you if you ejected.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. But not die right away.
SPEAKER_04And you could launch yourself in any direction.
SPEAKER_07Oh my god. Could I launch myself to land on the outside of the Emperor's shuttle? Those ties can't shoot me, they'd be shooting their boss! That is such a bad idea. I'm gonna do it. Okay, so this will be- Honestly, that might be safer than going back to the ship with Anakin.
SPEAKER_04Alright, so if you want to inject yourself towards uh the Emperor's shuttle, that will be a Sorry, I just was like, oh my god, I would still have my lightsaber too.
SPEAKER_07I could cut into the Emperor's shuttle with my dildo saber. Yeah. This is stupid. If I die, this is probably an okay way to do it.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, let's do it. So this is aiming. Um probably a gunnery to launch yourself.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_04It'll be against the piloting of the shuttle pilot, so that will be against two reds and two purples.
SPEAKER_07Ooh, two red, two purple. Oh no. I that the I there's so much emotion going on here. Literally every single one of my dice came up blank. I got four failures and two threat. I go sailing off into space. You can't fucking launch yourself something?
SPEAKER_06I don't think I can. I don't think I can re-roll anything for Gunnery. Oh no. Oh no! Wait, okay, hang on.
SPEAKER_08Probably got uh couple of rounds of oxygen. If you land right on Bo Katan's ship as it comes in.
SPEAKER_07Yes, splat on the hull like a bug, that's how I end up dying.
SPEAKER_04If it helps, the Death Star is very slowly moving towards you, so it's like you might not get splatted.
SPEAKER_07Maybe I could clue get onto that the the out the frame of the Death Star and try to get back to our ship. Probably not. It's the size of a moon. But you know.
SPEAKER_04Or rib on two. And uh Vader is continuing to make his way through the ship up towards the bridge.
SPEAKER_07Is there an escape pod in the bridge? Could you guys launch at the last second?
SPEAKER_04A red lightsaber starts cutting through the door to the bridge. Um now got a 50-50 chance. Regroup or uh MSK putt or I'm gonna roll a D-100. Uh, evens it's the Mandalorians, odds it's them all. 51 Yay our boy! So as the red lightsaber is cutting through, uh, you get uh another alert on your ship systems, a proximity alert, as a flotilla of various uh criminal ships enters Geonosis orbit. I hope this works out good. Uh you can see that there are ships belonging to Black Sun, the Huts, the Pikes, uh gangs across the galaxy under Maul's command. Uh leading the ship is leading the charge is the jewel of Nal Hutta, and it is making a B-line uh for the light cruiser that you guys are in.
SPEAKER_07God damn it. Could I could I be uh land on one of these ships and crawl into it?
SPEAKER_04I think I think you're still floating at the moment. As these ships approach, the doors open, and you see uh Darth Vader there. He says, Well, well, well! I probably should have expected this.
SPEAKER_07We meet it again. Hey girly pop.
SPEAKER_04The blue one.
SPEAKER_05The blue one! Oh, that's rude. It's okay, I have very low presence.
SPEAKER_02It's uh good to see you.
SPEAKER_04I know, you mapel croissant, you say it every time, every council meeting. You introduce yourself the same way. Well, that is because I'm not sure if everybody knows who I am. The whole galaxy knows who you are, Chris. Especially after that little uh traitorous maneuver you and your friends pulled.
SPEAKER_07Okay, when when Anakin says that, there's Chris kinda twirl his little ponytail, just like, do you really think the entire galaxy knows who I am?
SPEAKER_02Do you know uh do you know uh everybody know in the galaxy knows who you are as well? Yeah. Alright, now that we know.
SPEAKER_08Using my uh dedicating some uh one of my uh first points to my strength with a six. Just in case. Just in case.
SPEAKER_04And Anakin, he he notices you uh going further beyond, and he grins. And he says, Alright, come on! Uh come on what?
SPEAKER_07On me!
SPEAKER_04He uh runs towards you, Starzan, lightsaber out. Alright, so this would be probably issue.
SPEAKER_05Can I cut the gravity?
SPEAKER_07In the bridge? Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Would that be bad?
SPEAKER_07Uh I mean it would impair everyone equally, I guess.
SPEAKER_05I feel like it would impair him the least, though.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, do you want Darth Vader to be able to fly? Does he have the power?
SPEAKER_05Never mind.
SPEAKER_04Can we cut out the oxygen?
SPEAKER_08Who doesn't need to breathe?
SPEAKER_07Look, Gallyria's already blue.
SPEAKER_08I'm sure she doesn't breathe, and that's why. Of course I have Panthers with me as well.
SPEAKER_07Oh no, Panthar! The cat will die. The cat cannot die.
SPEAKER_08The cat will not die, Eden. It's the it's the first rule of uh screenwriting, right? Don't kill the cat.
SPEAKER_07Don't kill the cat! The writer of Stopper My Mom Will Shoot says you're not allowed to.
SPEAKER_04So he attacks you Starzan. Uh five success, one advantage.
SPEAKER_08It's not a crit, that's okay.
SPEAKER_04Uh so Anakin's lightsaber does have one crit. Mmm. What did I- Why did I open my mouth? So, uh, you take 15 points of wound.
SPEAKER_08But I soak. Oh, you don't so or do you not soak?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, lightsaber's uh cut through that shit. Oh. And he's got vicious two, so he's gonna add 20 to his uh crit, which I'm assuming you can endure. He gets 21, 41, uh bowled over, knocked prone. You're probably not. Are you enduring that? I'm enduring that. So that's his turn. He'll he'll get another one at the end of the round, but. Oh boy.
SPEAKER_08Let's return fire. Uh oh, uh I have some uh some wackiness I'm gonna try here. Let me take a look at this here again. I'm gonna use precise aim. I only have one in that, so that reduces his melee and range defense by one.
SPEAKER_04So he has he has one.
SPEAKER_08Okay. Uh let's see. Oh, I only got how many maneuver? I only got one maneuver per round, right?
SPEAKER_04Uh you can take strain and have two if you want.
SPEAKER_08Uh I'll do that, and then I'll uh commit uh force point two marked for death.
SPEAKER_04Okay. So that's one committed for your uh brawn, one committed for your marked for death, one committed for your uh endure.
SPEAKER_08That's right. Okay, so don't get any force. Well, I don't get any force in my lightsaber attacks anyways.
SPEAKER_04You're using precise aim to get rid of his uh defense. Uh so that is he's got adversary four. That is gonna be against two purples and two reds.
SPEAKER_07Cool, cool, cool.
SPEAKER_08Two success, two advantages. That's four advantages in total.
SPEAKER_07Ooh, is that enough to crit him?
SPEAKER_08That should be enough to crit.
SPEAKER_07Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_08Yeah. Oh mighty 100.
SPEAKER_0446! He is still an Imperial Knight, so he does have Quartosis armor.
SPEAKER_01Alright.
SPEAKER_04And what was your crit? Uh, 46. Headringer. So he's gonna increase the difficulty of all intellect and cunning checks by one. No, fuck off.
SPEAKER_07Man.
SPEAKER_04So you can strike him, your blows kinda bounce off his armor a little bit, but uh you do you do manage to get him in the head, bonk him. Okay.
SPEAKER_08Panth star.
SPEAKER_04You're gonna sick Panthstar on him?
SPEAKER_08Yeah, come on, buddy. Oh, Panther's gonna die. Oh no. Come on, Meat Shield, you can do it.
SPEAKER_04Uh so Panthers gets failure with advantage. So he can add a black, he can just kind of distract Vader. Okay. So the next person to attack him is gonna get a blue. Which would either be Chris or Illyria.
SPEAKER_02Illyria, how's your healing doing? I'm gonna try and shoot him in the head with my uh what what's that? What are the blasters called again? One second. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. Because that's the one where you can uh add the force on as well, right?
SPEAKER_02Yes, uh, I believe it is.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so you can uh suffer strain up to your force rating to add advantage. Okay. So two, so two, I guess. Yeah. So uh he's got one range defense, he's got two ranks of adversary, you are probably at short range in this bridge. So that is gonna be one red, three purple, and a black. How many destiny points? Uh you got two at the moment.
SPEAKER_02Uh oh right, I'm also a little bit more than a little bit. And you can add a blue from Panthstar. Okay. So, okay. Save the day. I got three thread, I got a triumph, I got two light side and two dark side. So if I can spend the two light side with the two.
SPEAKER_07Because is that with your free advantage as well?
SPEAKER_02Oh, no. So, uh, it would be uh the hardwood does, right?
SPEAKER_07You got two free advantage, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Well it's for strain, but technically. Free-ish.
SPEAKER_07Free-ish.
SPEAKER_02Okay. So yeah. I I take away two threat. So I have one threat, uh, triumph. That's it.
SPEAKER_04Okay, threat and triumph. Uh, so you don't hit him. Is there anything you want that triumph to do? Some sort of exhaust that that hits him. I was about to say, can we open up some fucking windows? Do you want like a change to the battlefield? Yeah. That sets him off balance?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_04Okay, so there is a sudden shudder as uh the light cruiser starts to tilt as it's caught in the tractor beam of the jewel of Nal Hutta. Ganis the Hutt's flagship.
SPEAKER_07Are you gonna have to start inception running on the walls?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it starts slowly rotating and things start sliding towards the walls.
SPEAKER_08Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Maybe that means that we're gonna have to use athletics to try and get within range of each other to fight. Maybe someone has to swing on a vine to attack each other now.
SPEAKER_07Two bad Starzan went at the top of the round.
SPEAKER_04You can see as the uh jewel of Nalhutta ha has been its tractor meme, as you get into range, it starts launching these like docking tethers as well, so that uh potentially uh some uh mercenaries are gonna start coming over to try and board too.
SPEAKER_05Starzan got wounded. Starzan got can I heal him?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Uh would it be better to uh because I'm not near him, so it'll have to be like the forcey.
SPEAKER_04Well, you could uh get into range, but then you'd be in range of Vader as well. Yeah. Yeah, just he slides out of range.
SPEAKER_05Ooh. One dark side, one light side. Guess I'll use a destiny.
SPEAKER_04Okay. Uh you would have to use a maneuver to actually lay hands on him. Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_05What? No, I've got range.
SPEAKER_04Well, you would need to spend spend your well, yeah, because you would need to spend that light to use the power at all.
SPEAKER_05Ugh. Yeah, okay, I'll get over. Well, he's fine.
SPEAKER_04He'll hit me first.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, just go for the Star Zank.
SPEAKER_08Give him a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a.
SPEAKER_05Slide over and slap him.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, you can slide over and slap him, put hands on him, starts healing as Anakin is slicing into him. It's like uh X-Men 3 Wolverine as he's being torn apart by Jean Grey and keeps healing over it.
SPEAKER_08Uh Gene Grey's in this episode too. Wow. He's everywhere.
SPEAKER_07Oh my. What if Illyria just like clings onto Starzan's back and just is like a constant healing force? I love it. Just keep open healing into him.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Look, we recognize that Starzan is the best hope against Anakin.
SPEAKER_04So you're not technically part of the initiative order, but Kala, what are you doing?
SPEAKER_07Oh my god, am I am I floating close enough to any of those ships that are coming in that I could grab onto one of them?
SPEAKER_04So you launched yourself at Palpatine's shuttle.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_04You missed.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_04I'm gonna say, yeah, you're slowly floating. You could grab at like the docking tethers, like as the jewel of Malhutta is coming coming by. You could probably either grab like a docking tether or find a piece of debris, potentially. Or this is this is gonna be grim, but um you could use Roar Wars Corpse's oxygen tank. Oh Roar as a maneuvering pack.
SPEAKER_07It is grim, but he's not using it no more. Dig I give me a little blast.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, this would be a piloting. Uh, give me a two-purple piloting.
SPEAKER_07God, okay. And this would be to take me, like, blast me over to the jewel of Nelhana.
SPEAKER_04Either to wherever you want to end up going.
SPEAKER_07God, how okay, if I how many rounds would I have left of oxygen?
SPEAKER_04Um, I think if you start blasting right now, you could get to the ship at the end of the next round.
SPEAKER_07But it's like, if if, let's say I use the oxygen to try to blast myself back to Palpatine Shuttle.
SPEAKER_04Uh a Palpatine's shuttle is trying to get out of the Death Star debris range as it's being pulled towards the planet.
SPEAKER_07Okay. I've we maybe we'll just have to hope for the best with that, yeah. No, I'll I'll use it to try to blast back to uh back to the jewel of Malhada, back to us.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_07And what would that be for piloting?
SPEAKER_04Uh, that would probably be a two purple and a black. God, I'm so scared. A red, a purple, and a black.
SPEAKER_07Okay, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, God.
SPEAKER_04Thank you, God.
SPEAKER_07Thank you, God, I got one success and one despair.
SPEAKER_02Oh, motherfuckuu.
SPEAKER_07Can I can I get right in the hangar bay and I take off my helmet and people immediately recognize me as just like, hey, that's the one who owes us money.
SPEAKER_04Well, so are you going to the jewel of Nalhata or are you going to uh your light cruiser? Because they're pretty close to each other.
SPEAKER_07They're pretty close. Ooh, God, I don't know because it's like, is our light cruiser gonna get blowed up real quick? Would it be better to go to the Jewel of Nalhata? Seem like it's gonna end blown up. Unless it's like I'm trying to go to our light cruiser, and since I got that despair, it's like, whoops, wrong ship.
SPEAKER_04So you you end up in the jewel of Nalhada, is what you're saying?
SPEAKER_07I feel like that would be the worst like the fact that I succeeded but got a despair is like, yes, you got to a ship. I feel like getting to the jewel of Nalhata would be a much better or much worse option for me, so probably that's where I end up. That's where I gotta go. That's the one I can blast myself to.
SPEAKER_04So you can blast yourself over to the Jewel of Nalhata. Uh whether or not you want to go there, you can end up there as all of this fighting is going on on your ship. And you land in the hangar bay, you're slowly floating, and then you just drop. Uh why don't you roll me athletic or coordination? God.
SPEAKER_07One purple. I'm gonna look like a damn fool. One purple. Well, you know what? My coordination's okay. One purple. Two success, one advantage. I don't look like a fool.
SPEAKER_04Well, that was for fall damage, so you only take five points of wound.
SPEAKER_07Cool.
SPEAKER_04So you drop as you pass through the magnetic field, and uh you are wearing uh Imperial Pilot gear holding onto the corpse of another Imperial Pilot that with a lot of fur sticking out.
SPEAKER_07Ken, are there are there people in there?
SPEAKER_04Uh yeah, you see, like, through your helmet, um, a pair of metal legs sauntering up to you.
SPEAKER_07I'll rip off my helmet just like Maul, you bitch! Is that where's my motherfucking money? Where's my twenty dollars?
SPEAKER_04Who do is this him? It it is Maul, and you see like a d a Jared Leto-looking dude in a black cloak with like a circular scar on his face behind him. And he says, Should I kill this creature, Master?
SPEAKER_07Who's this guy? Do I know this guy?
SPEAKER_04Uh yes, uh, you weren't there. This is my apprentice, Xanatos.
SPEAKER_07Oh, this loser.
SPEAKER_04He is not a loser. Not yet. He has not yet failed me. Oh, I know someone who's failing us, like, it seems you are in a tight spot.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. It would have been nice if you turned up earlier or held up your part of our entire agreement that you'd help us with the Empire, but no, you're here, you're here hassling us. And the Empire's out there, the shuttle, get away, get away.
SPEAKER_04I do not control Ganus. We have a mutually beneficial arrangement. He wanted the cruiser.
SPEAKER_02Holy shit, that was a guttural a guttural angry sound.
SPEAKER_04But as you can see, I was about to step into a vessel of my own.
SPEAKER_07You going after the Empire?
SPEAKER_04Yes, I was going to murder him.
SPEAKER_07Okay, good. Please go. Don't let me stop you then. You go, go, go have fun.
SPEAKER_04Why don't you come with me? His abilities are formidable. I could use something that sucks.
SPEAKER_07Thank you, buddy. Um, how big is his sh is it just like is it a fighter? Would it just be like I'm in am I in the back seat? In the passenger seat. Sockin.
SPEAKER_04Um, it's not a fighter. It's it doesn't look too dissimilar from a tie. It's got like sort of like a bald cockpit in the back with two sort of bent wings and a long sort of dragster nose. Okay. If uh if Kala had seen the Phantom Menace, um, she would recognize it as the Scimitar. Uh somehow he got his old ship back.
SPEAKER_07Man, it's a shame I didn't see the Phantom Menace. Great movie. I'll just like, you know what? Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm I'm with ya, I'm sucking. Let's go.
SPEAKER_04So you and Maul and uh Xanatos can board Maul's ship and blast off into the debris field. Now it's the end of the round, Anakin gets his uh end of round turn. Starzan, uh, you're tanking, so he's gonna oblige you.
SPEAKER_07Hate that. Oh, if you insist upon tanking.
SPEAKER_04Let's see how this goes. Four success, four advantages. So you take uh 14 points of wound, you're now at uh 25, so you are knocked out. Um, so that crit that you were enduring, I think that you're that happens now. So you got four success, two advantages. His lightsaber has a crit of one, so he can activate that with one. He can add 30 for the other three advantages. He has two vicious on his weapon, so that adds 50. Um, you already have one that adds 60. Oh no. So Vader has an ability called I Have You Now. Uh, rather than using an advantage to add 10 to a crit, he can add 20.
SPEAKER_08Okay, okay. Is is uh Cleft and Twain one of those uh crit blenders? Uh is a good thing I got that heal.
SPEAKER_04Well, how about this? We'll split the difference. Because it says you can uh spend an advantage to add 20. Uh I don't know if that means it stacks. I'll say it doesn't stack.
SPEAKER_07That's good. So how much is it gonna add onto whatever the crit is?
SPEAKER_04So he spends one to activate, spends one to add 20, the other two to add 20, so that's add 40. Uh Vicious bumps it to 60, and Starzan's existing injury bumps it to plus 70.
SPEAKER_07Oh, please let him woof, please let him woof.
SPEAKER_0424.
SPEAKER_07Oh, thank God! Thank God! 94?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, at the brink. You suffer a strain every time you do an action. That is as as well I'm not gonna do any action. Yeah, as high uh as as high critical injuries go, that one's probably the best one to get.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Thank God the universe loves you, Starzan.
SPEAKER_05I can also heal strain when I heal people.
SPEAKER_04Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_05Can I heal Starzan?
SPEAKER_04Uh well, it's back to the top of the round. Darth Vader gets to go again.
SPEAKER_08How about them uh boarding parties?
SPEAKER_01What are they doing? What they doing.
SPEAKER_08Elyria, you're you're the closest?
SPEAKER_05I suppose I am.
SPEAKER_08Okay. But are but is she also the most intimidating? Maybe maybe something about Chris just really pisses him off.
SPEAKER_07Why are you throwing Chris on my head?
SPEAKER_04Well, I feel like maybe what he's doing here is he's because Illyria's behind Starzan heal him. I think maybe he's just running Starzan through seeing if he can get Illyria too.
SPEAKER_06Oh, wait.
SPEAKER_04He's getting stabbed right through your chest, that's not fatal anymore.
SPEAKER_07That's true. That's a good point.
SPEAKER_04Uh 3 success, 1 advantage. Uh yeah, so you take uh 13 points of wound. Uh I'm still up. He can he can crit with that, just the basic with vicious. So add 20. Uh 92. Oh shit.
SPEAKER_07Oh. Plus 20. Oh no. I mean, at least this is isn't the one where he was adding 70.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, 112, you're temporarily lame. Hold on a second. I have an important question.
SPEAKER_07That's not temporary.
SPEAKER_08I have an important question. Does injura work if she's within short range of Starzan's corpse?
SPEAKER_06I th You're not dead.
SPEAKER_04Wow.
SPEAKER_05Oh.
SPEAKER_04Where does it say that?
SPEAKER_05I'm still up.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, you're just temporarily lame.
SPEAKER_05What does that mean? I can't move?
SPEAKER_04Uh you can't perform more than one maneuver during your turn.
SPEAKER_05I'm already touching him. I'm already touching him.
SPEAKER_07I'm already touching him.
SPEAKER_05Can I use Do I have med packs? Can I like use med pack and use my healing roll? I have one stim pack, oh my god. Or do I just do a healing thing without what do I roll against for just medicine?
SPEAKER_04So he's exceeded his wound threshold, so that's three. Um a stim pack, no roll, that brings that just brings him back to 20.
SPEAKER_05Interesting. One failure, one advantage. My advantage is that I slap the stim pack on him.
SPEAKER_07Well that happened. Yeah. So we don't get knocked out that often. We don't get saved that that too much.
SPEAKER_08Starzan fucking rises back to his feet like Dracula getting out of his coffin.
SPEAKER_07Well that happened.
SPEAKER_08Hey Annie! I didn't hear no bell. Is it Starzan's turn? Can he go?
SPEAKER_04Starzan or Chris.
SPEAKER_08Go Starzan. Yeah, you may. Do I keep all of my uh I guess my I can just re-add them anyways. It's a moot point. Do the same combination I did last time. It's like a point that a cow would make. A moo point. That took me a second for my point to catch up to. Well, that's a joke. That's a joke from friends.
SPEAKER_02Is that a friend's joke? I thought that was a um.
SPEAKER_08No, I do that all the time. Yeah. It's a moo point. It's a point of catch. Right, you're right, you're right. Four success, two threat.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_08Oh, but then I get the two, so it evens out. I don't get those threat anymore, so just four success.
SPEAKER_04Keep bludgeoning at him. He's up to 15 wound.
SPEAKER_08Hell yeah. Tant star. Yeah, sort of.
SPEAKER_04Going in for the kill. Interesting. Uh triumph and despair.
SPEAKER_02Ooh.
SPEAKER_06TPK. DPK.
SPEAKER_07Look, there's a despair there.
SPEAKER_04No success. He's able to jump on Vader and kind of knock him down with that triumph. And he's on him like the bear and the revenant.
SPEAKER_06Oh no. Oh no! Oh no!
SPEAKER_02Oh no! He's gonna be fucked.
SPEAKER_04But uh Vader also, uh, with that despair, he's gonna get a get a free attack on on Panthstar.
SPEAKER_01No!
SPEAKER_04Uh five successes, three advantages. Oh no. Oh god. Yeah, so his lightsaber does 10 uh plus five for the successes. Panthstar has uh 14 points of wound.
SPEAKER_07Does he kill Pantstar?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so you just see a red lightsaber blade coming up out of Pantstar's back.
SPEAKER_08No, we can bring him back though.
SPEAKER_04But he is uh he is he has still got this giant animal on top of him.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. I will use this opportunity that Pant uh from Pantar sacrifice to shoot one in his eyes. Yeah, just walk up to him, blast him in the head. Honestly, yeah, why not? Just point blank from the back.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. Pant Star's on him. Uh double tap. He did get a triumph on that. He's got this big thing on him. So you can upgrade your role. Yeah, dog. Uh his lightsaber is stuck in Pant Star, so that's not gonna come into play. Good. I'm gonna say it negates his adversary, so we'll just call it I'll give you a destiny point in case something happens, but we'll just call it a uh you're you're doing it at an engaged range, so we'll just call it a uh red and a purple.
SPEAKER_02And uh uh uh does Pantar add anything?
SPEAKER_04Uh yeah, Panthestar's wait on top of him lets you upgrade your role.
SPEAKER_02Okay, okay. Fantastic. How many how many destiny points do we got? Uh you have three. I'm gonna use one to have three yellow versus a red and a purple. What the fuck? Oh shit. Uh oh. Uh uh, okay. Alright, so I got one success, one threat, one triumph, another triumph, another triumph, and a despair.
SPEAKER_07Oh! Three triumphs though!
SPEAKER_02And a despair.
SPEAKER_07Maybe the despair is just that like Pant Star could have been healed, but after you reduced Anakin into a soup like slurry, yeah, Anakin.
SPEAKER_02I'm gonna send this picture at it. I'm going to send this picture. Just cuz that's wild.
SPEAKER_04So Darth Vader has a giant purple green tiger on him, just weighing him down, his lightsaber stuck up in the body, Pant Star's completely dead weight. Uh that's wild. He can't move, he's stuck. Chris? You could just walk up, slowly draw your blaster, line it up, and pull the trigger. And uh there is a red stain where the front of Vader's face used to be.
SPEAKER_02Before I shoot him, I will say to him, Maybe you shouldn't have been such a whipped bitch.
SPEAKER_08This is why your wife cheated on ya. This is ironic. His Achilles heal is pussy.
SPEAKER_07You should be joking right now. Your cat just gone killed.
SPEAKER_08No, that wasn't that wasn't Starzan.
SPEAKER_02That wasn't Starzan, that was that was Mike.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, that was Mike. That was all Mike. So Kala, uh, you feel something odd. Oh. You're you're you you're not in the room, but it's like you get like all of a sudden a feeling like, oh, something weird just happened.
SPEAKER_07Oh, and we started a weird route? A weirder route?
SPEAKER_04Continually, and uh Maul says, Did you feel that? I felt that. Ugh. Something has changed.
SPEAKER_07Something weird. I hope it is in our favor. By the way, who's flying the ship? Is Maul actually a pilot? Maul's flying. How's his piloting if he's if he's wanting to uh kill the hell out of the emperor? How how are you planning to go about this, Moll? Are you uh just like guns?
SPEAKER_04Oh.
SPEAKER_07Okay. Does he need a co-pilot? Otherwise, I'm just sitting here and sucking. I guess I can just kick back. I got shot up a bunch on my ship.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, can you uh can you suck?
SPEAKER_07I I I I haven't used the force for anything else. It's continuing to be committed.
SPEAKER_04So, Mall's pirates are uh engaging with the Imperial ships beyond uh the battle station. The battle station is continuing to be pulled into the gravity of the planet. The shuttle is just about to clear the edge of the superstructure.
SPEAKER_07God, it can can I can I co-pilot for him just to like really get a little bit more juice on this thing? I don't know if there's really much I can like I already ha the field is up, the field is up and committed. I can't do a lot with that there. And I don't know if his apprentice is any kind of a pilot.
SPEAKER_04Well, his his ship was designed for like being like flying alone, so I don't think he even has like a co-pilot seat. No gunnery either. Do you wanna pull the trigger?
SPEAKER_07Oh Mole would probably be mad if I pulled the trigger, but also like Oh no, wait, I don't know.
SPEAKER_04Unless you wanna fly the ship and he can fire.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, what do you what do you say, Mole? Do you wanna do you wanna do the shot?
SPEAKER_04Yes, I would like to take Palpatine's life.
SPEAKER_07Okay, I'll I'll take the controls. You got this, buddy.
SPEAKER_04Okay, so you're gonna have to uh steady this out. So this will be a piloting against the piloting of the pilot of the shuttle who's piloting.
SPEAKER_07Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_04Uh that'll be against two reds and two purples.
SPEAKER_07Two reds and two purples. What do we have for Destiny?
SPEAKER_04Uh, you have three.
SPEAKER_07I'll you know what, I'll flip one, and uh you know what, we're getting weird. Let's let's introduce the potential for more weirdness. Let's get them a yellow. Okay. Ugh god, I don't want to fuck this up. Oof, one failure, one advantage. I don't make it worse.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, you can try and lock on, but you feel there's something odd going on where it's like your ship is it it's fighting against you. How uh are is this within my bubble? So, Palpatine rolls within your bubble. Two lights, nine darks.
SPEAKER_07Is that gonna be something that targets me? Because then that gets reduced by three.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it's targeting you. You're flying the ship.
SPEAKER_07That gets reduced by three! Oh wait, is it a piloting thing? Or is it just a power?
SPEAKER_04It's just the move power.
SPEAKER_07Just the move power. Okay, well that takes it down by three.
SPEAKER_04Okay, so he's got six to work with.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Um, he only needs to spend three points to nudge the ship out of the way. You're not gonna make things worse, uh, but he is able to do it.
SPEAKER_07I mean, I guess if he's if he's wasting his energy moving our ship, then he's not moving the superstructure or moving himself out of the way of it. So there's that. Yeah, way to waste your role, jerk.
SPEAKER_04Uh Molfires success with two advantages. You can see uh plumes of dark smoke coming out of the back of the shuttle.
SPEAKER_07Yay. He says, again! Again! Yeah, man, do it again. I mean, I th you probably have to wait for your turn, but like. Can you stay on target? Stay on target. I'll try to stay on target.
SPEAKER_04Okay, piloting. Uh, two reds, two purples.
SPEAKER_07You know what? We're just gonna we're gonna let it ride this time. We're gonna let it ride.
SPEAKER_04Yeah no.
SPEAKER_07Oh, baby, three success, three threat, and a triumph. Okay. Oh yeah, let's punch forward. Or hold it steady for him at least. We're so steady, babe.
SPEAKER_04Okay. He gets four success, three advantages.
SPEAKER_07Oh hell yeah.
SPEAKER_04And the shuttle explodes, not in a fireball. Well, yes, a fireball, but also there's like this weird ghostly blue shit that flies out of it.
SPEAKER_07Oh no. Does that count as Maul, like, is Maul gonna get brainjacked? He was in the shuttle. It was like, you know, wasn't close and with like a lightsaber. That was that's between him and the shuttle. That's between him and the vacuum of space. Well, I mean Look, I got a triumph.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, at the moment it doesn't seem like anything is amiss. He he just kind of sits back and he exhales. He's been holding his breath and he says, Finally, I have had my revenge. This is a tense.
SPEAKER_07Can I kind of get a weird feeling on like reverse? Let's get away from that ghostly blue cloud.
SPEAKER_04You're right, we must uh get out of here. And on the shuttle on the cruiser as well, um, Sabe, who's kind of poking her head out now that Invader's dead, is like, can we leave now? Can we can we get out of here?
SPEAKER_02Uh wee wee, let's go.
SPEAKER_04So somebody's gonna have to pilot, uh uh to break free of the docking tethers. Maybe somebody should get on the guns to blast the tractor beam in placement on the jewel of Nalhada.
SPEAKER_02I mean, I'm okay at pilot at piloting unless.
SPEAKER_04Somebody will need to plot a course because your escape route is now being blocked by the arrival of a small flotilla of Mandalorian fighters.
SPEAKER_07Oh right! Oh no, we brought too much chaos into this.
SPEAKER_04So I need a piloting roll, a gunnery roll, and an astrogation.
SPEAKER_02Um, should I do piloting?
SPEAKER_08I just want to review. We were so concerned about fighting Anakin and Palpatine, we asked for help, and then we did it without their help, and now the help is a new threat to us.
SPEAKER_07Look, one of the groups turned up and kinda helped. Kinda helped.
SPEAKER_04I mean, the Mandalorians were always just gonna try and fuck you over no matter what they do. An important distraction.
SPEAKER_07You just throw the darksaber out the aerock on the way out.
SPEAKER_04Fuck those guys.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Launch it at that ship.
SPEAKER_02Can we yeah.
SPEAKER_07Put the Mandalorian armor in there too. Yeah. I can't believe that the huts would do this.
SPEAKER_04Because the chain code is what they're tracking, probably, in the armor. So if you want to just load it into an escape pod and launch it, you can. So, uh, this will probably be for everybody. Uh, gunnery, piloting, and astrogation. Uh give you a destiny point. We'll call it a red, a purple, and a black.
SPEAKER_02Red, purple, and a black. I will do piloting. Red and a purple.
SPEAKER_08I don't have great gunnery.
SPEAKER_02That's okay.
SPEAKER_08We got two greens.
SPEAKER_02Just get an advan Just get an advantage to help us out. Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Just don't make things worse.
SPEAKER_05Do a good roll.
SPEAKER_02You have three destiny points.
SPEAKER_07I'll use destiny. Oh, that's enough for each of you.
SPEAKER_02How many de uh how many destiny points? Uh, you have two now. Um, fuck it, flipping one.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, we're right at the end. Might as well. Elyria, you gonna flip one too? A failure and a triumph.
SPEAKER_02Ooh, I got a success advantage in the triumph.
SPEAKER_05How about we use those triumphs for my success one despair? Illyria!
SPEAKER_04Uh, so you can't fire the guns, but you can launch the escape pod right at the tractor beam in placement when it's floating up. That's kind of what you were trying to do. Yeah, basically. Uh, Chris, you can escape uh right through the Death Star as it begins falling into Geonosis' atmosphere. Uh your ship escapes completely unscathed. Illyria, you succeed plotting a course. That despair though. Aren't you forgetting somebody?
SPEAKER_01Look, I'll figure out I'll figure it out, I'll figure it out, I'll get back somehow the way.
SPEAKER_04So, Illyria, Chris, Starzan on your cruiser can plot a course back to Alishan. Jump into hyperspace as aboard the Scimitar. Maul begins plotting in his own coordinates, taking Kala to Parts Unknown.
SPEAKER_05Kala's like, I'm right where I want to be.
SPEAKER_07Oh no, I can't believe this is happening!
SPEAKER_04And maybe when you reunite, uh, she'll be kinda different next season on Star Wars Empire Wreckers. This week's episode is brought to you by our top patrons, David B. Eric Charles Carazzo, General Porpoise, Handholder Zero One, Jeffrey Zamuto, Joshua Winter, Laser, LKB, Matthew Lynette, Sophia, Suki Nintendo, Thomas Davidson, and Vaginator.
