"Next time...we go up," Collan noted, "Though...we did shut this thing down fast, but we still have one engine to take out."

Collan tried to stand and give Niil his pistol, "You're a better shot than me."

Niil snorted, but waved Collan's offer of the blaster pistol aside.  "Yeah, this is gonna be fun trying to get off this gunship once I Pop one more generator.  I've got another pistol and this rifle.  Call Juno and let her know we're gonna need a hot dustoff, and that we might need PROXY to haul us on board.  Grab on to something tight."

Collan holstered his blaster and made sure his gear was secure. Then he secured himself, calling Juno, "We're gonna need a hot LZ pickup Juno. PROXY may need to haul us aboard too."

Meanwhile, Collan began to narrow his own focus, taking tentative steps to focus his mind with the Force and use telekinesis in case one of them fell.

[ooc: tentatively starting Concentration on TK if if will be needed. Otherwise...hold on and run like hell if need be]

[OOC: Hmm. Telekinesis can be combined with other actions (climbing/jumping or lifting) but it has to be combined. Telekinesis with concentration precludes doing that, unless you stood your ground and helped Niil complete some other task, such as jumping to the ship.]

"Acknowledged," comes over the comlink.

You make your way to the hatch while the horizon steadies outside. When you are near the door, Niil stabilizes his rifle with the sling, and lines up a shot. Niil has some familiarity with repulsorlift repair, which also gives him a pretty good idea how to break them. So he places his shot, and pulls the trigger.

[OOC: Damage 28 -vs- 10 resist - the generator rolled really bad...]

The resulting blowout of the power flow regulator is significantly larger than Niil expected.

"Uh oh..." he says.

The secondary explosion leaves the both of you blinded for several seconds. Your hand grasp blindly as the platform starts to tilt, and the increased pull indicates there is some spinning as well. Acrid smoke fills the air, and you haul yourselves hand-over-hand through the open hatch and into the fresh air.

as your sight starts to return, you hear a scream. A body slams into the guard rail from above, and slips over the edge.

It's clear the platform is coming down. It is not in freefall, but it is definitely going down. Mission accomplished.

You hear the roar of thrusters nearby, but can see nothing.

"I have a visual, but it's no good. I can't close to you!"

Another scream as an Imperial sails past from somewhere up above you. This one didn't hit the guard rail - he just flew by in free fall.

A tertiary explosion somewhere in the bowels of the platform rocks the structure, and it picks up a little speed in the descent.

Niil felt a pang of regret as he watched the Imperials fall to their deaths, but was more concerned with Collan and himself at the moment.  Oh, shit on me, this is bad.  Clutching a rail with a death-grip, he yelled into the comm to be overheard.  "Give us a better spot, and we'll see if we can get to it!  If you've got any syntherope aboard, have PROXY stand by with it!  We might have to do an airlift!"

OOC:  Are there any compartments or cabinets on/along the exterior walkway that house safety lines?

[Only thing that looks like it might work is the railing.]

"This would be a good time for a jetpack," Collan yelled over the wind, "Niil...if we can secure me, I can make sure a rope gets to us."

(OOC:  Sorry, a bit dense here.  Did you mean the railing would be a better spot to try and get to the Rogue Shadow? Or to find a rope?)

[I thought you were asking what you could secure a rope to.]

(OOC: Okay, I get it.  Sorry for the duh moment.  Nill will have to wait for Juno's response, I guess).

[ooc: not to secure it...not tying rope to a falling thing...getting it to us. Can I use Concentration on TK to pull the rope towards me?]

There is another explosion, and a cloud of debris rains down. More Imperials fly past, though they are not screaming. Debris and shrapnel rain down, and you are forced to take cover for a few seconds.

When you look back up, the rotation has increased - centripetal force is starting to become a factor, and you are having to hang on to prevent sliding to the outer guard rail.

The Rogue Shadow appears before you - dangerous, as the ship is not exposed - and a line extends from the main cargo bay doors. It looks like they are using the main cargo winch. But with the rotation of the station, and the thrust required to keep the Rogue Shadow even with you means the end of the cable is whipping around quite a bit.

Niil grabs hold of Collan with one arm, and wraps the other around a sensor mounting to brace himself. Collan closes his eyes and extends a hand to the whipping cable. For a moment nothing happens. Then the end of the cable straightens out, slowly pulling taut towards you. More line is payed out, and in a few moments, the whipping cable is in Collan's hand.

Collan grabs hold tight and makes and attempt to secure the line.

"Got a good hold Niil? This is going to be crazy!" He yelled over the wind.
