Dropping out of hyperspace at the prearranged rendezvous point, you find the Pallas waiting for you. Once you all make it aboard, you can see the lines of a jump to lightspeed through the large hangar door as the Pallas evades any possibility of further Imperial attacks. Your mission was a success, though neither the Pallas nor the Nebula made it out unscathed the transfer of the crew and supplies necessary to keep the Pallas running, and you flying had been completed.

Aran Jinn Aran lets out a sigh of relief when he manages to set down the still smoking X-Wing without crashing it. He'd been drat lucky the shot that blew out the canopy of his fighter hadn't killed him. Being open to the void wasn't great, but it was sure the hall better than being dead. That he'd managed to hyper out and land safely had been due in no small part to his astromech somehow staunching the worst of the damage. As he popped the emergency removal seals on what little remained of the canopy and broke the airtight seal on his helmet he was greeted the normal sounds of the hangar bay and an angry roar.  Looking down Aran found a gesticulating wookie at the base of the ladder. Hefting himself out of his cockpit, he slides down the ladder and responds to the annoyed wookie, "Take it up with the Imps, they're the ones shooting at it, not me." The wookie replied with another set of growls and then gestures to the immaculate state of Crevette's X-Wing as it gracefully sets down nearby. "What can I say, he got lucky, I'm hardly the only one who got banged up." Aran then does a double-take, "Wait, who are you anyways?" The wookie responds again in Shyrwook with an explanation. "Wait, your my mechanic? Where were you earlier? More Shyrwook. "Oh, ok. Well I'll try not to make your job harder than it has to be. If you ever need supplies requisitioned or anything let me know and I'll do what I can. I've gotta go file an after-action report, but I'll make sure you've got what you need to handle getting her back into flying shape. I'm sure VC will be able to help too." The wookie seems mollified, and Aran makes his way towards his quarters to get changed out of his flight-suit.

B5-LY As B5's B-wing smoothly flies into the Pallas's hangar, B5 transmits a small signal to the maintenance bay and a small army of pit droids unfold from their standby mode and swarm towards his B-wing carrying refueling/power hoses and replacement parts as it sets down.  B5 clamors out of the cockpit and makes a brief visual inspection of his ship and exchanges a few quick bursts of binary with the nearest pit droid, detailing additional modifications that B5 specifies after replaying the last sortie approximately 134 times in his cognitive module during the jump back. The pit droids immediately begin working on the B-wing, and sparks begin arcing across its body as modifications and tweaks are made.  Seeing Aran walk back to his quarters, B5 waits until his squadmates have docked and have seen to their ships, and waits to see if they stick around or retire to their cabins.

After everyone had a chance to clean up and grab something to eat, you are summoned back to the briefing room where you find Commander Able waiting for you. "Good work out there, both the Pallas and the Nebula took beating but we made it out of what was clearly an Imperial ambush intact, which is a victory. We're still looking into just how the Imps figured out our rendezvous point with the Nebula, but for the moment we can take solace in the fact that they arrived after the transfer of supplies and equipment was essentially completed. The captain of the Nebula extends you his thanks, especially to our 'brave B-Wing pilot' who blocked that Interceptor's attack. Good work." She nods at B5. "Command believes it has a lead on where we might finally get some weapons for this bucket, but the intel types are still working out the details. Once there's an actual plan ready, you'll be notified as you'll no doubt be playing a key part. In the meantime, we're still trying to get the Pallas back into fighting shape, and any help you can provide the techs on that front would be appreciated. Now, unless there are any questions, I need to get back to overseeing the damage control teams." She waits patiently for questions.

B5-LY "If TRANSPORT SHIP NEBULA was destroyed, CARRIER SHIP PALLAS would be in critical danger. Receiving incoming attack from enemy provided highest chance of continued functionality for crew and assets." "I will assist with repairs and modifying existing systems. Skills acquired from previous NON LEGAL occupations provide opportunity to increase efficiency of CARRIER SHIP PALLAS" B5 begins heading to the doorway and then pauses before turning to the team, adding "SQUAD RAPPORT MODIFIER: Squadmates continued survival and non-injured status provides gratification" B5 continues out of the room, and assists the techs with repairs and modifications.

Geante Crevette Crevette wedges his giant frame out of his relatively tiny cockpit and drops to the hangar deck. Glowering at the torpedoes still peeking out of their launch bays he says "drat, I hate coming back with unfired ordnance. I could have had that Imp hotshot if we'd stayed just a few more seconds. Why'd you give the signal to hyper..." He trails off as he sees Aran's shattered canopy. He whistles "Nevermind, I'm just impressed you managed to keep that thing level."

Aran Jinn After the end of the meeting, Aran returned to his office. He was going over some of the mountain of paperwork he was responsible for when he noticed that Crevette's mechanic had requested and been sent plans for a convoy defense X-wing variant, the ACT-65. The repairs to his own fighter amounted to essentially a ground up rebuild so he might as well take advantage of the opportunity. He sent a message to Jow'thar to rebuild to the ACT-65 specs. He had no doubt he'd hear an earful from the wookie about the extra work, but if it saved repairs down the road it would be worth it. Not to mention, looking over the specs for squadron's next assignment, an escort focused model would be a good fit.

Geante Crevette Crevette, having landed with a pristine fighter, left what little work there was in the hands of his technician and spent his spare time exploring the Pallas. He soon realized that it was even smaller on the inside than it looked from the outside! Still, Crevette was an optimistic Calamari at heart and so he convinced the ship's chief engineer to print him off a complete blueprint of the ships ducts and maintenance crawlspaces and started wedging his large frame, sheathed in slab like muscles from the endless toil of hard labor under the direction of the Imperial slave masters who occupied his homeworld. There might still be Imperial's hiding on the ship. Crevette certainly hoped there were. His hatred for them knew no limits and he would never get tired of wiping their stain off the galaxy.

Your search through the ship is not an easy one. Though the Pallas is larger than a normal Gozanti, the ducts and maintenance were still clogged with debris, and a few were inaccessible due to leakage from the power plant which still hasn't been fully repaired. What searching you can do doesn't reveal any imperial stragglers. Though you do get to see Sgt. Kabrowski and Sgt. Crane putting their troops through simulated boarding actions. Overall, though the techs taken on from the Nebula are doing their best, the ship is critically short of parts, and there's only so much jury rigging can do. Still, things are starting to settle into a regular pattern aboard the ship.

Aran Jinn A few days pass, B5 works on the ship, Geante explores the nooks and crannies, and Aran finishes up the paperwork involved in establishing Cobalt Squadron. Things seem to be in motion, with the captain in meetings with Sergeant Kabrowski and the ship's repairs proceeding apace. Then one morning the order comes for the squadron to gather in the briefing room. When you arrive, Aran is already standing at the front, and once you take your seats he activates the holoprojector and gets right down to business. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFsl57e8SZE "So, there you have it. It's time to get this boat some guns. Any questions?"

Vraska Vraska pounded a piece of hull plating back into place with a hammer, scowling as he got it flight ready. "This junk starts peeling the minute anyone looks at it funny. I miss my old hauler. That thing, at least, was sturdy." He rubbed his chin and mused. Might be looking into...

Vraska Vraska lands on the Pallas, A-wing smoking but otherwise undamaged. He pops the canopy, hardly waiting for the ladder to be wheeled into place before climbing out, muttering something obscene as he climbs under the frame and slams a fist against a panel, prompting the underslung blaster he'd hacked into place to pop out, billowing smoke. "No, no, no. This will have to go. It's shorting out the maneuvering thrusters. Piece of smuggler poo poo..."

Aran Jinn For the second time in a row, Aran makes it back to the Pallas in the smoking ruins of a fighter. At least this time his cockpit was still intact. Besides VC's constant berating he more than expected to be greeted by an extremely angry wookiee. Instead Jow'thar is silent, looking at the fighter thoughtfully for a time and then just walking away. Aran isn't sure what to make of this, but with after-action reports to file he doesn't have time to consider it too deeply. Despite his personal performance, the mission had been a roaring success. Even now techs were unloading the haul of equipment off of the U-Wing. There was more than enough here to get the Pallas' weapons into a serviceable state, the power-plant would still be a problem, but they were moving forward one step at a time, and once they solved that they would have a fully functioning assault carrier with all of the possibilities that entailed. Wider considerations, however, could wait. What Aran really needed now was something to eat. So, paperwork be damned, he heads out for the mess hall on Deck 2 to see what the ship's chef was serving.

Geante Crevette Crevette landed his immaculate x-wing next to the smoking remains of the other fighter craft and levered his hulking frame out of the merely human-sized cockpit. A quick conversation with his mechanic verifies that even the shield generators are fully charged so there's not much that needs doing. Instead Crevette ducks under Vraska's A-wing. "Here, let me give you a hand with that. I think we could salvage the powercells to reinforce the front deflectors if you want." He gets a faceful of smoke when the reptilian hits his ship again. *cough* *cough* *cough* "At least you're shooting them up as much as they are you."

B5-LY As B5 finishes his strafing run on the station and blows the fuel tanks, he hears the voice of Kabrowski thanking him for the assist and confirming the Rebel Marines have managed to complete their objective, and were making good on their escape. The victory is short lived however, as he hears the alarm on his ships sensors blaring their warnings. A squad of interceptors had just arrived in the area, and were bearing down on him quickly. Confirming that Kabrowski's U-Wing had managed to get off station safely and seeing that Aran had already jumped out, B5 veered away from the encroaching Interceptors using the explosions and debris from the stations fuel stores as cover, and engaged his hyperdrive just as the Interceptors began opening fire.  As B5 exited hyperspace at the rendezvous, he saw the now familiar sight of Aran's smoking charred wreckage of a fighter already being attended to by a swarm of mechanics, hosing it down with flame retardants. B5 silently thanked his makers that he had no olfactory sensors, because he had heard that the scent of burnt hair, particularly Bothan hair, was no pleasant experience. After confirming his ship had only taken minor shield damage, he left his B-wing in the care of his pit droids and headed towards Vraska and Crevette, who had also just finished their post flight checks. " SQUADMATE VRASKA, SQUADMATE CREVETTE: Congratulations on mission success. Concern regarding SQUAD LEADER ARAN. SQUAD LEADER ARAN has gone to mess hall to DIVERT FRUSTRATIONS VIA HIGH CALORIC INTAKE. Performance in last sorties may affect morale. SUGGESTION: Squadmates converse and boost moral of flight leader." B5's head turns between Vraska and Crevette. "Agree?" BR0ME0 fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Oct 31, 2018 |

Geante Crevette "Sure. That sounds like a good idea. Maybe they've gotten the ice cream maker working. Last time I asked they said they were having trouble getting it to interface with the Imperial wiring. Can you believe the might Empire doesn't even equip their ships with ice cream makers? Every rebel base I've been at has had at least one."

Pallas's Mess Hall When B5 and Geante arrive in the mess, they find Aran sitting down just starting to eat some sort of stew. A few marines arrived and are eating as well. The mess hall is a fairly spartan affair, containing tables of varying sizes, with a serving area at the far end, and beyond that kitchens and prep areas. It seems that at the moment what's being served is a stew consisting of some kind of meat as well as a variety of coarsely chopped vegetables and spices.

If me taking some shots helps make sure that happens then so be it." With a somewhat forced smile intended to reassure his squad-mates, Aran finishes his stew. "Now, I've gotta go fill out after-action reports and requisitions for parts and munitions. I'll see you guys around."

After a pause, "SUGGESTION: I will research traditional Bothan meals, and cross reference ingredients with ship stores.

Aran Jinn Several days pass with life on-board the Pallas proceeding apace. Weapons and other systems are starting to be brought back online, though with the reactor still damaged, there are a few worrying brown-outs, though people seem to be getting used to them. Vraska works on his A-Wing, Geante and B5 advance their scheme to try and cheer up Aran, Sergeants Kabrowski and Thorne and their marines drill, Lieutenant Ferrengo oversees the day to day operations of the ship, and the mechanics work on the fighters, though Jow'thar, Aran's mechanic, hasn't been around the hangar very much of late. As for Aran, he's been fairly scarce of late too, though unlike the wookiee, it's not really a mystery as to where he's been. He and the captain have been holed up planning whatever the Pallas' next operation will be. There's an air of excitement permeating the ship, because although only the command staff know what exactly their mission entails, it's clearly going to be an important one. So when Aran calls the squadron into the briefing room, there are more than a few gawkers to see just what is going on. Once everyone is seated, and things quiet down, Aran gets right down to business. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiLG53-ZNNw

The ship gets ready for the operation ahead. This would be the first time that the Pallas was intentionally headed into combat, and the first time it would be able to shoot back, and her crew didn't intend for that opportunity to go to waste. It was almost zero-hour when two ships dropped out of hyperspace. Their IFF's read as friendly, and so they were soon granted landing clearance. Both were barely larger than most fighters:   Setting down quickly, their pilots of both ships soon disembark.   "Name's Drox Lokar." The Duros greets you in basic with a strange languid accent, "HQ sent me here to deliver some ion munitions to you fine folks. I've also got a special delivery for Jow'thar, any of you seen that furbag around?"

Drox Lokar "Well, if you see him, tell him getting this thing wasn't easy," he gestures to the boxy ship, "and he can consider all of the favors I owe him cashed." Once the ion munitions are unloaded, the Duros and the woman both board the HWK and take off, leaving the other ship sitting in the hangar. It's only after he's clearly away that Jow'thar shows his face. Aran Jinn Aran looks at the wookiee, "What was that about?" The wookiee responds with a series of growls, it's clear he and Drox have some sort of history. "I was also referring to this," Aran gestures up at the ship. After another burst of Skywook, Aran looks surprised, "What do you mean I'm going to be flying it?" Now his astromech joins in, beeping out in Binary. "Oh, so you were in on this little conspiracy together?" "What do you mean I 'needed something less fragile'. I'm a perfectly decent pilot." This line was met with an outburst of noise from both the mechanic and the droid. "Fine, fine," Aran responds, trying to placate the pair, "you went through all the trouble of getting this for me, I'll fly it." The droid trills victoriously, and Jow'thar seems very pleased with himself. "I suppose it can't go any worse than the last few missions for me." Aran mutters.

The transport makes the jump into hyperspace, and the Pallas is not far behind. The mission is complete success, and when the rest of the squadron arrives at the rendezvous point, they can see the Pallas already docked to the Resolution, no doubt already beginning repairs on the reactor. Once they land, the squadron finds Lieutenant Ferrengo waiting for them.  The Pallas's Executive Officer shakes each of your hands in turn. "You did excellent work out there, despite our unexpected guests. Anyhow, thanks to your efforts Sgt. Kabrowki and his marines were able to seize the transport without incident. We should have all of the equipment necessary to get the Pallas's reactor back to full strength on-board within the hour, and the other equipment will be very useful to HQ. Sgt. Kabrowki will be taking command of her and bringing her back to base for us." "Normally that'd be my job," he adds self-deprecatingly, "but after talking with the captain it was decided I'm needed more here. Anyhow, until Sgt. Kabrowski returns, Sgt. Thorne will take over as head of the ship's marines, though due to the prize crew we'll be under-strength until we can get more troops from HQ. Now that we've gotten most of the ships systems back online, I imagine HQ will have lots for us to do, so enjoy your downtime while you can." With the wan smile of a man with more duties than time, the Lieutenant turns and begins to make his way towards the lift.

Geante Crevette Crevette smiled with satisfaction. Another mission without getting hit. All that time he'd put into the simulators after their disastrous first mission had really paid off. He and R6-9R made a good team. "Hey little buddy. I've got you a surprise gift. I'm promoting you from expendable asset to valued crewmember!"  *angry beeping* "Hahahaha. You're right, that's not a very good gift. Actually, I thought that since there's so little maintenance to do on our jolly Jock Tartar we could spend some time smoothing out the power flows on the Pallas. Make recharging a less exciting activity for you. How's that sound?" *Cheerful beeping*

B5-LY As B5 sets his ship down in the hangar, he is pleased to see that his pit droids are ready and waiting to service his B-Wing after they managed to finish working on their ordered repairs in the crevices deep within the ships systems in time for the last mission. After the droids settle the ship into its refueling station, he sends them to assist with the main ship crew bringing the reactor online, and they begin marching down the corridors to the reactor bay.  Seeing Aran finishing his post flight checks, B5 gets gives Crevette The Signal. "SECRETIVE ANNOUNCEMENT: SQUADMATE CREVETTE: Your assistance is needed in the ship galley. Please head there immediately while bringing no attention to yourself from SQUAD LEADER ARAN" Everyone at the hangar stares while Crevette walks off shaking his head. B5 waits until Crevette has left the hangar, and turns to Aran. "SQUAD LEADER ARAN: Request your assistance regarding matters completely unrelated to previous statement. SUGGESTION: Meet in communal space, such as galley, to discuss DISTRACTION SUBJECT BETA 9: battlefield advantages of domesticating local mynock communities to sabotage enemy fortifications....." B5 continues droning on to Aran, who realizes he's been herded towards the galley without realizing it. As he walks in, he sees a small collection of Bothan foods, in a variety of qualities ranging from acceptable to ... not as acceptable. Crevette is behind the kitchen counter, and welcomes Aran. "We didn't have all the ingredients, but we made due with what we could get our hands on. I mean, what do you expect from a kitchen that doesn't even have a fully operational ice cream machine?" B5 begins bringing Aran plate after plate of food and sets them in front of him, standing straight at attention waiting for Aran to try the delicacies that were made with teamwork, good intentions and, dare I say.... friendship?

Aran Jinn The H-6 drops out of hyperspace and returns to it's hangar space, for the first time Aran has returned on a ship that was completely undamaged. It's clear he's jubilant about his recent performance. Jow'thar seems equally happy, not only had he scored a kill from his spot in the turret, the ship was still in one piece. Descending the hatch, he saw B5 waiting for him. The droid was without a doubt an excellent pilot, his commanding position at the top of the squadron's kill-board made that plain. However, he would never be a particular good spy. However, Aran was in a mood to play along. A trip up the lift and down the hall to the galley later, he was faced with Geante and B5's attempt at Bothan cooking. He had only been to Bothawui once, he'd grown up here in the cluster, but his parents had grown up on the homeworld and still carried much of its culture and traditions with them. He had many fond memories of the sweet, spicy taste of the ruby-red kothtri his parents always kept a pitcher of around the house, and of, on special occasions his mother baking salar which they managed to import from homeworld in an herbaceous pastry dough that filled the whole house with a wonderful smell. The quality of their creations... varied. Some were good, if not particularly authentic, others were more authentic but not amazingly executed, and one or two were both good and reminded him of the food he used to enjoy. Their real triumph though was that through some fluke of luck or happy accident they had managed to make a legitimately good imitation of kothri. Regardless of the quality though, the dishes reminded him of growing up. It was bittersweet, for though they were happy memories they were stained by the fact that the empire had taken that life away from him, along with his parents. If his home hadn't been destroyed, it was likely that some fatcat imperial bootlicker occupied it now. Still, he was touched by the concern of his squadmates, and dutifully tried each of the dishes. Once all was said and done, and he'd made sure both Jow'than and Geante had to try the creations as well, he offered his sincere thanks to his two squadmates. "You probably shouldn't quit flying to take up a career in Bothan cuisine, but thanks, you did good. Also, you're going to have to give me whatever recipe you used to mix up that kothri."

Aran Jinn The next morning Aran stands in front of the squadron in the briefing room. Jow'thar has taken up a seat in the rear of the room now that he's unofficially become a member as Aran's gunner. "Well it seems Command has decided that the Pallas and Cobalt Squadron are useful assets indeed as they've got another assignment lined up for us." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHtzICNxMEY After the holoprojector hisses off, Aran continues, "We're scheduled to rendezvous with the Nebula tomorrow by which time the repairs to the reactor should be completed. After the Nebula provides us with a new coat of paint, we'll be heading to Sarn Station the day after. So rest up as I want everyone in top form for this. With the way our luck goes there's no way this mission will stay a milk run, regardless of what command thinks."
