OOC:  Oops!  I also meant for Niil to take one shot at the nearest trooper as he was scrambling for cover . . .

[OOC: Possible. Difficult but possible. But tactically, you'd be better taking cover on either side of the door and forcing the droid to close to get shots at you.]

[ OOC - My concern was that the Imps would just shut the door again , if we use the doorway for cover. ]

OOC: From what I read of this post, Jex is already through the doorway, and Trax is still on the side with the imps as well.

[OOC - which also means that we are on the side with the droid, correct? Or are my directions messed up?]

Everyone ducks for cover. The Imperials, confused at your actions, stop to turn and look behind them

At that moment, the droid opens fire and the corridor is filled with blaster bolts.

Hot blasts of plasma shatter bits of wall and ceiling, and tiny bits of debris rain down on you and all you can do is cover up and wait for the rain of hellfire to end.

After what seems like minutes, but was probably only seconds, the rain of blaster fire stops. In the quiet that follows, the only sound is your breathing and coughing from dust, the occasional sound of loose debris falling, and the "ping ping" or cooling metal.

Then, you hear the sound of heavy metal feet moving. The droid comes closer and closer, stopping perhaps 10 meters from the doorway. It pauses.

In the eerie quiet, you hear a metallic voice say, "I cannot keep the droid under control for long. You need to hurry. I have been found out - reinforcements were already on their way before you attacked."

Well this was going to make things easier.  Trax swapped power packs in his pistol and then drew his second one.

"Then let's disable the droid and get moving.  Which way?" Trax asked the metallic voice.

Niil rose from his prone position, absently rubbing his elbow from where he banged it on the floor.  Keeping his blaster trained on the droid, he muttered to Trax and Jex, "The second we get that information, drop that droid like a bad habit.  Collan, Mariah, get out of its firing arc now."

[ooc: I thought I had cover out of the firing arc...]

"Got it Niil. Could you short out the droid...and maybe Mariah could quickly repurpose it for us?"

Niil shook his head.  "It would be enjoyable to see this beast unload on this garrison, but we don't have the time needed to change its IFF parameters.  Best to disable it after we get the info we need."

Collan played along with the whole intel acquisition bit.

"Then let's get our info and blast out of here fast."

The droid's voice with human inflections says, "End of this passage and through the light door is a mechanical room. From there you can enter the ventilation system. Left, drop 5 meters, then left again, you'll come to a small security door. I'll open it for you. take the next right, and you'll get to the room I am in. I'll self-destruct the droid now. Hurry, you don't have a lot of time."

The droid suddenly switches to a rest posture. A mechanical voice says, "Initiating self destruct in 10... 9..."

Niil paled, but barked, "Move, people!  I'll cover our six!"

OOC:  Getting everyone past, then I'll scoot as well.

Trax began to move quickly down the passage hoping the rest of the trip would much less eventful.

[OOC: If Jex doesn't want to take the lead Trax will.]

Collan hauls after Trax and Niil.
