Prison Break, part II

[Trax]

Is it obvious that they're enhanced?

I was thinking of starting to take some melee skills with the vibroknife, but this looks like it could be more fun

[GM Craig]

yeah, it's obvious they are enhanced.

Also it's not a weapon you can sheathe.

[Trax]

Yeah, I guess it's a little long.  Okay, vibroknife it will be.  Sadly I have more force pikes than I do vibroknives.  Any chance a knife (even a plain one) can be made out of a pike?  Now that would be something, a vibroknife that can deflect a lightsaber.

[Niil Spaar]

Maybe a vibro-boxcutter?   

[Trax]

For those really hard to open packages?

On an unrelated note, I think this has got to be one of the most intense missions to date.  There have been others that I didn't think we'd get out of, like the prison break, or when we were fleeing the imperials after blowing up the tie fighters, but this one I think has been the most pedal to the metal, fight to the death one yet.

I used 3 force points in 1 fight!  That's just insane.

Edit: Oh, and how could I not mention the treasure ship.  Now that one was one hell of a ride...

[Niil Spaar]

So there I was last night, thinking of the old saying "Enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Then I thought, "Ya know, just because some bad guys have a prisoner HEAVILY under guard (ie. Dark Jedi guards, Imperial guards, red-armored stormtroopers, large bomb meant for destroying the ship, environmentally-controlled cell guarded with ship-based weaponry) doesn't mean that the prisoner is one of the good guys."

Did anyone else have that little itch at the back of their skulls telling them that maybe this prisoner we freed should have stayed locked up?  That maybe she's REALLY, REALLY dangerous?

Just sayin'.

[Trax]

If what you say is true, Trax and her are going to get along just fine.

I can see it now, Trax will become her 'bodyguard', and handle the day to day threats and intimidation tasks for her, but when he comes across those that just won't listen they'll get to meet "the boss", get wiped out as a message to others, their reputation will grow, Trax's more publicly, while she stays relatively shrouded in mystery.

Trax just found his dream job!

<puts on a black hooded cloak and rubs hands together>

Good, good. Let the paranoia flow through you.

[Collan]

It's a good thing we're not playing Paranoia...

I have a feeling Craig would be really good at it.

Oh, hell, thanks for that vision . . .

[Niil Spaar]

Oooo, I remember that game.  I also remember investing heavily in a skill called Spurious Logic.

[Trax]

I remember the game, but I never played it.

[Niil Spaar]

So were we able to establish communications with the cleanup crew?

[Trax]

OOC:  One sec here.  Didn't Trax just suggest that we try make it to the other strike team?

Yes, but the old man said they were encountering resistance and said we'd have to fight our way to them.  He seems quite certain we can get out through the crawlspace.

[GM Craig]

So were we able to establish communications with the cleanup crew?

negative. Coms are still down between prison bays.
