Nightshade and Nim: Thrown Together

[GM Craig]

"If the guards have not returned, there must be another security incident under way. It is not standard procedure to leave the detention area unmanned."

She extends a trembling hand towards your holographic map.

"Max Confinement is here. Alpha confinement is here. Max Confinement is staffed by the Imperial Guard, and reserved for prisoners that merit the personal attention of the Emperor himself - your senators will be there. Alpha Confinement is where all former Jedi prisoners end up eventually, though most pass through Max Confinement first. If your Jedi friends are not in Max Confinement, they will be in Alpha."

[OOC: Max Confinement is in an open area within the expanse of the throne room. Alpha confinement is off the throne room down a special cell bay.]

"Max Confinement as manned by Imperial Guards, usually one per prisoner in an open area with deck-mounted energy detention cells. Alpha confinement is normally not manned directly, because life support is kept to a bare minimum. If they are actively 'processing' a prisoner, there will be half a dozen technicians supported by imperial guard and shadow troopers."

Her lips and jaw still tremble when she speaks, but her voice is getting stronger.

"Do you think you can actually do this?"

[Nim Naja]

Nim's eyes lowered at the realization that the situation was worse than previously thought. Far worse.

She was quiet for a long moment, her sudden silence speaking louder than words.

[GM Craig]

Danny looks at Nim for a few seconds.

"You're going to try anyway?"

[Nim Naja]

"Yes."

Nim then looked back to her.

"Are you coming with?"

[GM Craig]

She considers a moment.

"Give me a gun, so that if it looks like we're going to be captured again, I can maker sure they never take me. Do that, and I'll help all I can."

[Nim Naja]

The woman unholstered her pistols and hilt-first offered the girl a choice of standard with scope or a heavy. ?Unless you?re a dual-wielding maverick, I?ll need one for the same reason.?

?So, I?ve been using my cloaked droid to get us in where we?re not supposed to, remoting in as necessary. You and I can stay here in the comfort of your cell while I use him or we can try and sneak in with Nightshade. Or something entirely different if you?ve any other ideas. I'm guessing Alpha will be easier of the holds to get into. I did overhear the leader order them to take our Jedi to that place.?

[GM Craig]

She takes the standard pistol with the scope with a nod. Nim notices her knuckles are white as she holds the grip.

"If I were stealthy, I wouldn't have been in here in the first place. And your plan sounds good - Alpha containment is meant to prevent escapes, not entry. With some allies, maybe your friend can handle the guards in max containment."

[Nim Naja]

Nim lightly placed a finger on the barrel and looked back up to the girl?s eyes.

?It?s not just so you can off yourself. That?s a full pack. Be sure some rounds go to the d-bags that did this to you, yeah??

She placed the other pistol back in its holster and called out to the Nekami again. ?I don?t know if you caught all of that, but there?s a slight change in plans.?

(If he didn?t she?ll just repeat it.)

[GM Craig]

[A Nekami / Shinobi would overhear such a conversation even without meaning to. ]

[Nim Naja]

"Knowing that extra bit, are you still more comfortable with us staying here? "

[Nightshade]

"It would be for the best for now, I think.  Let me get into the Alpha cells and see if we need to adjust our thinking."

[Nim Naja]

?Alright, we'll stay. I have a belt that you can borrow that might help sneaking in. Should be your size."

[Nightshade]

The Shinobi looked at her strangely for a minute as though trying to gauge her intentions.  Bowing to her he replied, "My thanks but keep it, we should all be at our best for this next step."

With that said, and ensuring that all was in readiness, Nightshade stalked off towards the Alpha containment area. 

Actions: Sneaky, sneaky

[Nim Naja]

Nim nodded. ?If something happens to us back here, use Buzz as needed but return him to Trax.. if you can. He?s a wonderful tool and has a lot of sentimental value to him for the both of us.?

With that she started prepping the little Droid to follow the Nekami.

[GM Craig]

Nightshade really does move like a shadow, and within a few paces, he is out of sight.

Using her wrist computer, Nim directs Buzz to follow, but she has a hard time keeping track of Nigthshade, and in short order, she's lost him. Sticking with the plan, Nim sends Buzz on towards Alpha containment.

The throne room is a large cavernous open space, but at 12 locations around the perimeter there are exits from the room. Buzz detects patrols moving around, and guard posts, but nothing in the immediate vicinity. Buzz easily dodges the few patrols. Alarms continue to sound. Several times, Buzz has to lay low as a platoon of royal guards comes running past. It seems Galen is still very much active on the station, and it causing trouble for the Imperials.

Eventually, Buzz reaches the entrance to Alpha containment. There is a simply access panel there - it should be easy to slice it. However, there are two royal guards stationed beside the doors.
