New Jedi Order: Starfighter

[Kapit]

*egrog coms jaina* hehe, just waitin for you to say "3 2 1 go"

*egrog feels a wave of dark energy flow over him* jaina, was that leto!?!?

[Soontir Solo]

"Twin 11 here ready to go, jumping to hyperspace at 3 2 1 Now."

Soontir stretches a little and prepares for the coming fight in the few minutes it will take to get to the Fondor System

[Jjm3233]

Coming out of hyperspace, Leet watched the B-Wings of first flight begin their run.

"Three Flight, skips inbound, 6 marks at 3-10."

[jadeskywalker]

" I hope not Egrog." Jaina comms back knowing it was. . " We'll have to keep close to him."

[Kapit]

*egrog nods, knowing jaina knows* alright, will do. loks like we got skips comin at us already, i got your wing

[jadeskywalker]

"Twins lets get to work," Jaina comms in.

[Soontir Solo]

"I'm on um Twin 9, coming up on your wing."

Soontir says this as he watches the B-Wings disable one of the Peace Brigade Freighters.

"Twin 9 3 of those skips are heading towards the B-Wings, what do you want to do? Shall we split up and go after each set or take these 3 out and then go take out the 3 heading for the B-Wings?"

[Kapit]

*egrogs scanners bleep* jaina, we got 5 comin from above, watch it, their firing!

*egrog sideslips to the left, narrowly avoiding a plasma bolt*

[Jjm3233]

"Twin 11, how many skips are you reading?"

Leet armed torpedoes, dumping the first pair off he began using the Force to nudge the torpedos toward the oncoming skips.

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina barrel rolls and avoiding their blasts, " i see them now." Jaina says as she follows them towards Egrog to shoot.

[Jjm3233]

Watching his torpedos explode the first skip, Leet asked "2 flight, can you handle the 2 skips, while we protect the B-Wings?"

[Soontir Solo]

"I've got 3 heading our way, 3 heading towards 1 Flight. I guess Egrog has 5 more over his way but I got nothing about that on my sensors."

[Jjm3233]

"Roger that, some sort of jamming?" Leet's voice trailed off. "3 Flight, lets protect 1 Flight."

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina makes it towards Egrog and shot off a few torpedos and getting a few off of him. " Got a few off you back 7," Jaina comms in...

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir takes out his first skip then races over towards the skips harassing the B-Wings.

"Sir the B-Wings have disabled 3 of the 5 freighters but the frigate is coming on hard this way. I am going to try and slow it down. Can someone give me some interference with the frigate so I can make my run. I have an idea."

[Jjm3233]

"Roger that 11, 10 form up and lets have some fun." Leet replied.

[Kapit]

*doing a barrel roll, egrog let his awings speed take him out ahead of the main fight....he circled back around and armed his torpeds* jaina, watch yourself, i'm gonna drop a couple torps on the ones behind you, so when i say move, go stright down....i'm gonna cut it close, so watch yourself

[Jjm3233]

Leet and Zhadar began a mad dash toward the frigate analog, firing the lasers as they went. Breaking away at the last moment, the frigate began turning to bring more weapons to bear.

[jadeskywalker]

"Roger that 7,"jaina comms to Egrog.

[Soontir Solo]

"Twin 9 if you can fire lasers straight at that Dovin Basal and keep up a steady rate of heavy fire I should be able to make a torpedo run against the frigate. I can fire two proton torpedoes at once, I'll fire all 8 of my torpeodes. Just keep the Dovin Basal in the frong busy and I'll have that Frigate a smoking wreck, or at least in no shape to take out our B-Wings"

Soontir begins his run as Twin 9 and 10 pour more laser fire into the Dovin Basal. 4 of the torpedoes make contact.

"Twin Suns the frigate has been seriously wounded. All of its weapons are the forward section are gone and the ship is venting air. Lets finish off those skips. I'd highly recommend the B-Wings coming over here and finishing off that Frigate."

[Kapit]

OOC: hehe, i'm 8 i thought



*arming his torps, egrog lets the Force flow into him, calming himself down, waiting for the time* get ready jaina, i'm lauching two.....NOW

*the torpedos streak out* wait for it..........jaina, NOW!

[Jjm3233]

"All frieghters are disabled, 1 Flight is inbound for an attack run. Twin 5, I think its time to get those Assault Shuttles boarding. Twins 10 and 11, I still show one hostile fighter heading away, form up and let's finish him off." Leet replied.

[Soontir Solo]

"I've taken some minor damage to my starboard engine. Give me a minute to get it straightened out. Besides I am sure you and Twin 10 can handle one skip. Plus I can escort the B-Wings in for there attack."

[Leto Aldriss]

"Thanks XO," Leto commed in, "Twin Seven on the two skips closing Mark 218."

With that he rolls starboard and begins to rain stutter fire upon the trailing skip. The voids of the skip's dovin basals swallowed the incomming fire,but just as soon as it began to compensate for the laser fire, Leto released the stutter trigger and loosed several Quads of full power beams ripping into the stone hull of his target tearing it to peices.

Wasting little time Leto began looking for his target's wing mate.

It was banking back towards him on a head on intercept. Leto began to trade fire with it as he released a torpedoe and angled his ship away.

The Vong blew right past him loosing busts of plasma at his X-wing, singing the dome of Sqeak, his astromech, before plowing straight into the floating, yet armed proton torpedoe, blowing it to dust.

[Kapit]

OOC: jade had to step out for a sec, so she wanted me to just get this in while she's gone


*over the com, jaina heard egrog yell* jaina, NOW!

*she immediately through her xwing into a dive, forceing the skips to follow.....she looked behind her to see two explosions as both skips blew up into clouds of fragmented rock* thanks, 8

[Jjm3233]

"Roger that 11, form up once their attack is done. Twin 5, what's your status?" Leet inquired.

Between the stutter fire and torpedos of two X-Wings the remaing skip was made quick work of.

[Kapit]

*jaina coms leet* we're clear for now, looks like we got them all

[Jjm3233]

"Roger that, Jaina be careful when you board." Leet said. Watching the B-Wings finish off the frigate.

[Kapit]

*to two flight* two flight, this is 5, we're heading to the target now, stay sharp

[Jjm3233]

From his vantage point Leet watched 2 flight and the Assault Shuttles begin boarding the freighters. "3 Flight lets form up and watch our screens, we can't afford to let anything through."

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir comes up on Twin 9's wing.

"Not quite what we expected, some more skips than we expected at least. But all seems to have gone well so far. Try to be as quick as possible 2 Flight, we dont' want to be here when the Vong reinforcements arrive."

[jadeskywalker]

" Copy that 11,just keep them off of us til we get through," Jaina comms in. "This shouldn't take long, 2 Flight, lets hurry up when we board." Jaina says to 2 Flight.

[Kapit]

"roger, 5" egrog says, waiting his turn to go in

*egrog finally got his chance, and exited his awing and boarded the ship*

[jadeskywalker]

OOC: Egrog is 7 and Leto is 8

Jaina boards off her ship and grabbed her lightsaber just in case she did meet up with the Peace Bergade. As they waited for Leto to land his ship.

[Leto Aldriss]

Leto stared out at the star feild. His anger was finnally receeding but he was still on edge. The rage he had been feeling had drawn him as close to the dark as he had ever come before.

It was times like this that he seriously regretted leaving the academy before his training was complete. Jedi like Corran Horn had departed during his stay there, but in their case they returned to the academy. Even Kyp had come back after the incident at Cardia.

The truth was that while he was able to learn techniques from the training manual, he wasn't really a Jedi.

Just because you read a book on Sabacc doesn't mean you can out play Lando Calrisian.

[Leto Aldriss]

Realizing that the others were already bording Leto made a tight bank and set down next to the rest of the Squad.

[jadeskywalker]

" Leto, you ok buddie," Jaina asks.

[Leto Aldriss]

"I'm fine," Said Leto as he dropped lightly from the cockpit.

"Just a little PTSS*, but I think I'll be alright ," he smiles rakishly, "But if we ever end up in another situation like Honogrr again, remind me to Force Hurl an X-wing at the person responsible."

Quickly, Leto checked his equipment in case combat broke out.


*Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina smiles at Leto. " Yeah, I know what you mean. Lets go find the prisoners and get out of here." Jaina says to Egrog and Leto.

"1 and 3 Flight, How does everything look out there so far?" Jaina comms in.

[Soontir Solo]

"All clear Twin 5, we're holding the door open for you. What is your progess in there?"

Soontir continues to patrol the area, hoping for once the Vong leave them alone.

[jadeskywalker]

" Everyone has finally landed in here, we are on our way now."

[Kapit]

*egrog unhooks his lightsaber from his belt* i'm hoping i'm not going to need this today

[jadeskywalker]

" Well it looks like you will need too." Jaina says as she heard someone said "there are Jedis on the shuttle."

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir continues patrolling and then

"Twin Suns I have something over here, it looks like some kind of spy ship..............Sithspit its a Vong spy ship. It has probably been spying on us the whole time. 2 Flight hurry it up in there more than likely Vong reinforcements are on the way. 3 Flight how about we take this spy ship out? It is only about the size or a blastboat it shouldn't be a problem. Look at the coloring, blends in almost perfectly with space."

Soontir kicks it to full throttle and heads straight for the Vong Surveillance ship.

[Kapit]

*egrog stopped* are we holding here or moving on?

*egrog suddenly feels the ship "come alive" in the Force* i think we're gonna get more than we wanted

[jadeskywalker]

" No, lets keep moving and get the prisoners first any that come in our way kill them and then on our way back we take a few prisoners ourselves." Jaina responded back.

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir, with Twin 12 coming up on his wing, run down the spyship, battering it with laser fire. Leet comes up on Soontir's starboard side and shoots 2 torpedoes at it. The ship explodes.

"Twin Suns, spyship taken out. 2 Flight have you brought down the resistance on the ship yet?"

[Kapit]

*egrog coms soontir* you kiddin me, cap? we haven't even seen them yet, just heard them

[jadeskywalker]

" This twin 5 we are approaching the prisoners cell, their are a few gaurds nothing we can't handle," Jaina thought yet with that.

[Soontir Solo]

"Hurry it up Two Flight, if you guys are still on the ship when the Vong get here there is no way we will be able to prevent your capture. Not with us having no support and not being able to get any with this being a secret mission. Take out the resistance, grab the cargo and get out of there"

[jadeskywalker]

Jade heard Soontir. "Ok, guys Egrog and me will take out the gaurds and Leto you get them out." Jade orders real quickly.

Jaina runs for the first gaurd and jabs him in his belly, while Leto gets the gaurd before he could push the button for the alert.

[Kapit]

*egrog stands ready and smiles* after you, jaina

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina smiles, " Leto got to the prisoners out. Ok now for the tricky part, getting out."

[Kapit]

*egrog looks up and down the hall* i say we run like a mynock outta hell and deal with what we have to

[jadeskywalker]

ATTENTION RED ALERT a voice came on the intercom.
PRISONERS BRAKE IN

"Well no luck getting out of here without a fight," Jade says looking at Egrog and Leto and Gavin.

[Kapit]

i think running would be a good thing now

*as they head down the hallway, they run into a group of PBs*
one of them says "it's them! blast em!"

[jadeskywalker]

" You and Leto and Gavin stay around the prisoners and I will cover the back" Jaina says quicley. " Lets get the hanger bay now."

[Jjm3233]

Leet had watched the destruction of the spyship with some interest, jamming, spyships, what was this all about?

"1 Flight I have intermittent contacts from the near the planet, can you make out anything?" Leet wondered.

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina heard them they say Blast them. she stopped quickly. "Leto and Gavin you get the prisoners to the shuttle Egrog and i will take care of this. we will be right behinde you guys lets us get them off first." As she deflected a few blasts coming their way.

[Kapit]

*egrog steps forward* you guys do realize that 85% of all statistics are false, right?

*they look around, confused* what does that have to do with us, jedi?

*egrog smiles* you're now part of a true statistic. 100% of all peace brigaders never get away with what they do

*this just angers the PBs, and they tush egrog and jade*

[Jjm3233]

Leet heard the reply "looks like Uglies - DieWings from the look of them, say 7 of them."

Uglies were snubfighters pieced together from parts, of which there were many configurations. DieWings had the cockpit ball of a tie fighter coupled to the engines from a Y-Wing.

"Should be easy pickings, lets take them." Leet ordered.

[jadeskywalker]

" Way to go hot shot," Jade says to Egrog. Getting a few of the Peace Bergaders.
"We better hurry"

[Kapit]

*egrog pushes a couple of PBs into a wall, knocking them out* just tying up a few loose ends here, m'lady, and then it's off to the hangar

*egrog kicks a PB in the chest, flipping him over and causing him to knok his head on the ground* you know, i think i saw this stuff in a holovid once, comedy too

[jadeskywalker]

" Nice job, Egrog," Jade says. As she pushes a few herself. " Lets get that hanger now." They turned and ran for the hanger only to see that Leto and Gavin with the prisoners couldn't get inside the hanger.

" This is Twins 5 we have the cargo and cannot get to the hanger, we will have to fight hard without any losses. We should be out soon. How's this situation out there?" Jaina comms in...

[Kapit]

*egrog looks at the guards around the door* well, this'll be fun

*egrog stands up straight and smiles* did you guys know 85% of all statist-

*jade hits egrog on the arm*

what?! oh right, the escaping thing

*egrog pushes several of the guards down as they all open fire*

[jadeskywalker]

As they opened fired Jaina tells Gavin to stay and watch the prisoners and make sure none come from the hall. Jaina jumps over one and cut him in half. Tossing a few against the wall has hard as she could.
Leto on Jade's right had a few kills amd deflecting balsts with his lightsaber.

[Jjm3233]

Leet led Flight 3 in the attack on the uglies. Coming in directly behind the leader Leet unleashed all four of his turbolasers at the cockpit; turning it into shrapnel.

[jadeskywalker]

ATTENTION: DO NOT LET THE PRISONERS ESCAPE
THEY ARE AT THE HANGER, A voice came on the intercom.

Jaina looked at the rest of 2 flight. " We better hurry," she says cutting up a few more. and looked at Leto. "See those two I tossed over there? Yes," Leto says to Jaina. " Go get them and we will take them with us. Egrog and I are going to make sure those prisoners get to the shuttle."

[Soontir Solo]

"Leto I am not picking up anything significant. More than likely there is still a battle going on over there though. I don't think even Bel Iblis could have ran an entire Vong fleet out there yet."

[Leto Aldriss]

"Move," Leto called to the prisoners, as he and Gavin directed them towards an old Lambda Class shuttle.

Peace Brigaders followed close behind peppering them with laser fire. Gavin reached the ramp just ahead of Leto and began herding them into the shuttle.

[jadeskywalker]

Jade followed close behind the group deflecting and making sure none of them were close behind.

[Soontir Solo]

"Can you give us an upadate 2 Flight?"

[Leto Aldriss]

As Gavin and Leto got the prisoner on board it occurred to him, "someone's gonna have to fly this crate outta here."

"I used to fly transports for a living, you and XO better get to your X-wings and make sure that no one trys to vape us as we lift off."

Leto turned to ascend the ramp when a gutteral shout from behind surprised him and an Amphistaff caught him square across the chest, knocking him to the floor.

Vong!! Sithspit! This must have been their liason to Vong high command.

Rolling to the side Leto scrambled to his feet and went for his lightsaber.

GONE!?!

He side stepped the warrior's chop with the weapon, now shaped like a sword and began scanning the deck. There, some ten feet away he could see the pommel peeking out from behind a cargo crate.

How ever just when he tried to summon it to his hand the Vong swept in again.

"Why do you not fight back Jeedai," the vong growled in poor Basic, "are you a coward."

Leto knew he didn't have time for this. He stepped back and removed his blaster dropping it to the floor.

As the Vong released his amphistaff. Leto reached for his lightsaber again, this time igniting it as it flew towards him, and staright through the rib cage of his opponent.

He retrieved his blaster and went in to lift off.

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina smiles at Leto. " You read my mind, Lt.," Jaina says. As she ran to her X-Wing and started it up. " 3 Flight this is 2 flight, we are fixing to get out. Our wings are comeing out first, So make sure nothing is in our way," Jaina comms.

[Soontir Solo]

"The door is open 3 Flight, glad to hear your coming out."

[jadeskywalker]

" Good to hear you guys are syill out there," Jaina says as she flew out with Gavin and Egrog behind her.

[Soontir Solo]

"We are just waiting for you 2 Flight."

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina smiles happy to see the others out there. " Twins 8 is flying the shuttle. So lets keep it open." Jaina comms to the others.

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir watches Leto take the shuttle out, and forms up to cover the shuttle.

"I think that about wraps this up, waiting to go to hyperspace on your mark Major Jade."

[jadeskywalker]

" Lets get out of here before the Vongs get here." Jade says. She 3,2,1 to herself and then says, " Lets hit it, Now." And she jumps into hyperspace.

[Leto Aldriss]

As soon as Leto had the ship clear of the hangar he commed his X-wing.

"Squeak, your gonna have to bring the fighter home on your own." He said.

Squeak replied indignantly

"No I don't think that you are a glorified parking attendant." Leto shouted back, "just do it."

As soon as he was sure the nav computer had the hyperspace co-ordinants, Leto jumped, his cargo very grateful to be alive.

[Jjm3233]

Watching the transport jump into hyperspace, Leet followed close behind; grateful that this mission had gone by the numbers.

[jadeskywalker]

jaina was just happy that everyone was here and safe along with a few prisoners.
Lambada shuttle, "How is the cargo and the prisoners are not giving you any trouble are they?" Jade asks.

[Leto Aldriss]

Leto comms back, "no trouble at all." though the peace brigader prisoner that we took onboard this shuttle is going to need a dip in bacta before we can ask him any questiuns"

[jadeskywalker]

Jade couldn't help but to chuckle at that. " Sorry guys for once it isn't one of us," she comms back.

[Jjm3233]

"No one in the gentle care of sick bay? It doesn't seem like a Twin Suns mission." Leet replied.

[jadeskywalker]

" yeah, there is always a Twin in the sick bay, but i am glad that this was a sucessful mission. Now time to head back with the cargo we went for with a few extra we picked up for questioning." Jaina somms in.

[Jjm3233]

Coming out of hyperspace, Leet went and docked with his temporary baseship. After dismounting his X-Wing, Leet walked over to his two Chiss wingmates. "Soontir, Zhadar nice flying out there today."

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina comes flying in behind the rest of them and landed not to from where Leet was. she climbs out and walks over to them. " All of you guys did great out there." she says.

[Jjm3233]

"Thanks XO. This was a milk run compared to some of the missions we've been on. But you're right, everyone performed well out there." Leet replied.

[jadeskywalker]

" Yeah, you do have your point, Major, this was easier than the other missioins. We were fighting in there I thought I felt my side busted again. but it didn't. Thank the stars. I wasn't sure I would be ready for that type of fighting again so soon. After this I need to go get some rest, this has been a long few days with hardly any rest. And get these PB prisoners to the sick bay at once."
Jaina says.

[Leto Aldriss]

"I'm just glad for a change that we're all in one peice," said Leto, "did I mention I met with their Vong liason."

"I'll let you guys take the lead for a while," said Leto sounding exhausted, " I think that I need some meditation time."

OOC: I placed this into an edited post, as I was composing it while everyone else was still posting. Just incase it was missed. It is on page 54.

[Kapit]

*egrog looks around* why can't we do that more often?

[jadeskywalker]

OOC: I had to go back and read it. You edited it i didn't know that. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif



Jaina looked at Leto. " How are you feeling since the Vomg fight?" Jaina asks. Wondering what all was going through his head but wasn't going to make him talk until he was ready too. She wouldn't foece one of her wingmates to talk unless they felt ready too.

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina looked at Leet. " Well how do you think the squad is now?" Jaina asks

[Soontir Solo]

As Soontir goes through hyperspace he is just thankful that the mission went as planned, and contemplates his next report to General Fel.

[Kapit]

*as egrog touches down, he looks for jaina* how do you think we did, XO?

[jadeskywalker]

" I think we all did great, Cap.," Jaina say happily. I am glad the mission went as well as it did."

[Kapit]

yeah, me too *egrog looked towards where some of the others were at* what's next for us? down time maybe? i think we earned it

[jadeskywalker]

" Well for now we wait for the General. Twins go get cleaned up and rest up and you guys did a great job." Jaina looks at Soontir, " Nobody leaves, stay here rather you want to or not. That's an order or deal with the General himself." Jaina says. " Now go get rested up."

[Jjm3233]

As Egrog and the rest of the squadron left, Leet turned to Jaina "Well 1 and 3 flights did it by the numbers. Disabled the freighters, destroyed al of the snubfighters - it went well. How did 2 flight do?"

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina turns toward Leet. "2 flight did excellent. We got our cargo we went for and brought back a few PB prisoners, so they can question them and do their job with intelligance. Had most of the PB waiting for us at the hanger. Well you know the Twins can't get out of anything without a fight. I am just happy there were no, casuaties or losses among us and the prisoners we had to get back and no Twins in the sick bay. I say this was a sucessful mission." Jaina said happily. " How is your leg," she asks.

[Soontir Solo]

"Major Jade, I am sorry but that is not an order I can follow to the letters. If making a trip is ordered of me by the Chiss than I will do it. I won't need to leave now but I do have to make a communication to the Chiss High Command. Once again I am sorry but my circumstances dictate this. If General Lowbacca has a problem with that than he can take it up with me himself. Good day Major Jade, and to you Major Leet."

Soontir heads off to get cleaned off.

[Leto Aldriss]

Leto slipped deeply into a meditation trance. He recounted the events of the past days as an impartial observer. What he saw was a black cloud surrounding him as each emotional lapse in the force occurred it became darker.

[Kapit]

*egrog was wandering around the ship, wondering what to do. he ended up heading to the mess, sitting down and eating a hearty meal*

[Soontir Solo]

After taking a shower Soontir gives his report to the Chiss about the latest battle, and sends them his fighter data about the Vong Spyship.

[Kapit]

*egrog gets up from his meal and decides to wander around again. while roaming the halls, he runs into jaina* oh, hello jaina, what're you up to?

[Jediwan]

This is Colonel Jaina Solo with General Lowbacca we just heard of an ambush against a flotilla of our ships. Queen Mother Tenel Ka's fleet will be carrying us. We head out in ten minutes.

[Kapit]

*egrog looks up* well jaina, looks like no rest for us, off we go then!

*as they head to the docking bay, they meet up with leet*

[Jjm3233]

"I hear we on the move again." Leet said as Jaina and Egrog approached. Heading to his locker, Leet grabbed his flight gear, watching as the X-Wings came to life once again.

[jadeskywalker]

" Looks like we are on the move again,Leet." Jaina says as she grabbed her gear and walked with Leet and Egrog.

[Jjm3233]

As his X-Wing exits the landing bay for the Hapan fleet, Leet recieves a mission brief datafeed from the General.

Over the Squadron frequency he fills in the details for his squadmates.

"Gentlebeings, our mission is to rescue a New Republic flotilla; the flotilla is made up of two assault carriers, three Bothan Assault cruisers, one Light Mon Cal cruiser, and a Victory Star Destroyer. We must cover the flotilla's retreat with minimal losses to them; and inflict as much damage on the enemy as is feasible."

[jadeskywalker]

The Vong fleet is yet to be known... Jaina also added in.

[Jjm3233]

Leet mumbled "And that makes me feel very confident."

[jadeskywalker]

" yeah, I know," she responds back as she climbed in her X-wing. Gavin was right behind her. " So, Xo how do you think this will turn out?" He comms to her. " Well, I don't know, Gavin, with the Vong there is no telling what may happen." Jaina replies back as the flew out Leet.

[Kapit]

*egrog smiles* this is gonna be a piece of cake guys, we're on a roll, and we have to keep it that way

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir, quiet so far about the situation, docks in Tenal Ka's Flagship, the Battle Dragon Pride of Hapes.

"Must have a quick word with Tenal Ka, Soontir whispers to himself."

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina looks out at the black stary site in front of her wondering what will happen when they reach Tenal Ka flagship. she listens to her X-wing hum and her r4 beeping at her. The Twins all next to each other as usual, in the same formation as they always are. Thinking about the mission that they going to next. She has her friend she grew up with since childhood and she was focused on how to tale care of her wingmates. She thinks to herself they are all i have left and they are worth fighting for to her death if it comes to it. She felt sad, as she looks in both directions looking at the X-wings by her side.

[Jjm3233]

Dropping out of hyperspace, Leet quickly sized up the situation. "Twins there appears to be a dozen frigate analogs, and about 100 skips. There does not appear to be any friendly fighters."

[Kapit]

*egrog checks his sensors* 5, this is 7. 11 is not, repeat NOT, on my scopes. where did he go? wasn't he with us when we left?

[jadeskywalker]

As Jaina drops out of hyperspace she heard Leets comm in her helmet. " Great already, Leet you know what to do, lets vap them." Jaina says as she forgets she was sad for a minute.

[Kapit]

*egrog throttles back slightly, noticing he's getting ahead* sorry bout that guys, this awing is quite the speedy little devil. let's go show these vong who owns the galaxy

[Jjm3233]

"7 last I saw 11 was heading for the Hapan flagship. 10 close formation and lets engage the skips." Leet replied.

[Kapit]

thanks leet. what's the deal, splitting by flights?

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina throws her xwing right in a barrel roll getting a skip as it snuck up on Gavin. " Thanks Jade, didn't see that one," as he locks on a skip and blasts him in a fireball.

[Jjm3233]

"Break by pairs, we need to try to clear them out so the cruiser can launch its fighters." Leet responded.

[jadeskywalker]

" Roger that 9, " Jaina comms in.
she watches Gavin and Leto break in a pair together.

[Kapit]

*egrog flies next to jaina* let's go vaping!

[jadeskywalker]

" Yeah, lets get them," as they both barreled rolled to the right of Leto and Gavin.

[Jjm3233]

Coming in close to the Mon Cal cruiser Leet and Zhadar began picked one skip and went to work. Their lasers locked in single fire they strafe the skip up and down until its Dovil Basin is overloaded. Then the lasers are used to punch holes into the skip itself.

[Kapit]

*egrog and jaina moved almost as one, shooting down three skips on their way* 5, i'm down to 48% on my shields, want to take the lead?

[jadeskywalker]

Leto and gavin broke left of Jaina and Egrog. Leto comms to Gavin," I get a few on me and you come around and blast them off of me. Sounds good Leto, bring them in." Gavin replys back as he locks on a skip as he gets ready for Leto to bring a few skips behind him."

[Kapit]

*jaina flies ahead of egrog* anytime, 7. just prep a shadow bomb and follow me to that frigate off to port

*egrog and jaina arm their shadow bombs* on my count 7.....

3....
2....
1....

MARK!

*they lauch their shadow bombs into the frigate, scoring a direct hit right in the middle of the ship, splitting it in two*

YES! *cried egrog* direct hit!

good work *jaina says, heading towards their next target*

[Leto Aldriss]

Leto makes a wide sweer and after tagging one skip several times veers away allowing the skips to chase him past Gavin's sights.

[Jjm3233]

Leet and Zhadar continued on their path, the skips were concerned with the flotilla, and that was costing them dearly in this battle.

The Hapan fleet was now coming into range, waves of Miy'til fighters were now coming into range, led by the Storm. The tide of battle was beginning to turn.

[jadeskywalker]

Leto made another turn and headed towards Gavin, " Come on Leto," As he made back around Gavin and he blasts the skip that was on Leto's tail.

As Jaina and Egrog got there skip with their shadow bombs. they were already on their next target. " All wings report you ststus" Jaina comms in quickly, locking on a skip before it could reach Egrog.

[Jjm3233]

"Flight 3, we're both here. Shields are at 65% and 57%, respectively. The Hapans and the Flotilla have the Frigates on the run. They are being pursued around the planet." Leet replied.

[jadeskywalker]

" Good, lets make sure these ships will not be a problem the next time we have to come back," Jaina says as Egrog locks on behind Jaina's tail at a skip she was trying to shake him off. " I'm up to 80% shilds up and Egrog is 45% shields up.

" Jaina, this 6 I an up to 60% shields," Gavin comms in. With Leto not far behind. " XO this is 8 I am up to 70% shields up." Leto comms in as he brings a few more skips behind him and Gavin coming up from behind and getting the skips off of him.

With that a few laser blasts went past Jaina knicking her wing. " Wow, that was close," she says. " My shields are down to 75% now." she comms in.

[Jjm3233]

"Roger that 5, continuing to attack." Leet put his X-Wing into a steep dive, allowing Zhadar a clear field of fire on the skip who was tailing him.

[jadeskywalker]

" Keep up the good work Twins," Jaina comms in as she haas a skip on her tail. The Egrog came up from behind blasting the skip off her tail. " Thanks 7" she says.

" Leto, I have a few skips on my tail and can't shake them off." Gavin comms. " Roger that 6 i am on my way."Leto replies back. As he puts his ship in a barrel rolled and comes from behind and gets his lock and lets the torpedos loose and watches the targets blow up in a huge fireball. " Thanks 8" Gavin replies.

[Kapit]

no problem 5, i do what i can

*egrog looks around* the skips look to be thinning up some. this shouldn't take long now, especially with the hapans chasing the frigates away

*egrog checks his scanners* anyone have any word at all from soontir? he's missed this entire furball

[Jjm3233]

As the fleets chase each other around the planet, Leet and Zhadar were the farthest foward of the persuing X-Wings.

As another skip fell to their teamwork, Leet noticed that a large shape was becoming visible.

"Is that a worldship?" Leet asked quietly.

[Kapit]

*egrogs head snaps around* a worldship?!!

*looking over his shoulder, egrog spots a large black mass behind him* oh man! 5, what're we doin now?

[Jjm3233]

"5, I am wondering that myself."

[jadeskywalker]

" We better give them warning and maybe get some of their fighters out here." Jaina comms to the squad. "maybe soontir well come out, too."

" Flotilla, this is Jaina Jade XO of the Twin Suns, we have been fighting skips out here and have ran into a worldship and 2 cruisers using the planet as a shield cover. come in..." Jaina comms in.

" Copy that, Twin Suns, sending a few squads out to help with fight out there til we can get out of here." as the voice came on the comm.

"Copy that we will hold them off as best as we can til you can get out of here." Jaina comms back.

[Leto Aldriss]

Leto gaped at the hulking massof the world ship. At the size of a large space station Leto was just glad that the Vong didn't seem to favor Super Weapons the way the Emperor did.

"Gavin, stay sharp, " There could be a second wave of skips out there.

[Jjm3233]

"Twin Seven, break right, we'll take that group of skips together. Has anyone seen Twin 11?" Leet said.

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir blows by, leading teh Hapan fighters towards Twin Suns Squadron.

"Sorry about that guys, I got stuck on the Pride of Hapes, when they gave me clearance to leave they told me to go ahead and lead these two squadrons up here to aid us. They are at our command."

Soontir breaks off and comes into formation with 3 Flight taking out a skip on the way.

[Jjm3233]

"11, we need to screen the capital ships for about 7 minutes, so they can make the jump to hyperspace." Leet told him.

[Leto Aldriss]

"Roger that Twin 6," returned Leto, "Twin Ten, prepare to break right," Leto commd to Gavin, "On My Mark".

Leto lead Gavin in a tight bank that brought them facing the Hapan flottilla. For the first time in qutie a wile he used the oppurtunity to reach out in the force and check up on his squad mates.

[Jjm3233]

Slicing into the oncoming skips Leet pummeled them with blast after blast from his turbolasers. Zhadar's torpedo finished him off.

"Six minutes to hyperspace" came over the fleet frequency.

[jadeskywalker]

With everything that has been going on with the past few missions has really gotten to Jaina. She reaches out to feel for Gavin and sences everything is fine with him. Gavin knew she did, " Jade" he thinks to himself. He couldn't read what or how she she was feeling.
She hears Leet comm in "5 min.s til they get into hyperspace." Her and Egrog break right and met up with 3 flight and took out a few more skips.
"Seven stay close to 5, I am not getting a good feeling from her." Gavin comms."
Don't worry about me Gav. Worry about the skips now." Jaina says quickly.

[Kapit]

*to gavin, privately* roger that, i felt it too. something's up, and i don't like it. feelin some bad vibes off of her right now.

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina continues her pursuit after the skips. " Twins 4 minutes til they can jump in hyperspace. Egror get this off my back I have a few more coming up from behind us. Get this one and I'll turn this ship around and get those two." Jaina comms in.

[Kapit]

on it, 5

*egrog flies behind jaina, blasting away two skips that were caught off guard*

got em! i think it's time to leave about now

[jadeskywalker]

" Thanks 7,but we are not leaving til they get into hyperspace, first." Jaina comms in. As she turnd her ship Starboard and headed on to the two that she read on her sensors. Locked on and let a torpedo fly head on the one of them and started after the other as the other blew up.

[Kapit]

how much longer 5? i'm down to 23% and i'm just fighting to keep them away

[jadeskywalker]

" 2 minutes til they jump to hyperspace. Just stay behind me and I'll make sure they don't get another blast on you7" Jaina comms in.

[Kapit]

*egrog smiles and has a little chuckle* roger that 5, i'll keep close

[Jjm3233]

Weaving in and out of the mass of skips Leet watched as his shields drop in power. Blasting another skip off Zhadar's back, Leet watches as his forward deflector shows 0%.

Toggling the switch, he moves the remaining portion of his aft shield, so both now read 10%.

[Kapit]

*egrog launched a torpedo at a skip, and it was immediately sucked into a void* sithspit, that was my last one! 5, do you have any torps left?

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir comes up and torps the skip Egrog tried for.

"Not sure about 5 but I most certainly do Egrog. Looks like Twin 9 could be in some trouble. How about you and I come up and cover him for this last minute?"

Soontir and Egrog join up and fly toward Major Leet. Soontir notices a new squadron of skips are heading straight for them.

"This could get really messy now. Egrog cover Leet, I'll take care of this."

[Kapit]

thanks 11

*egrog looks over* soontir, we're pullin out now, the freighters are jumping. leave it for another day, we don't want anything else to happen, let's just go while we can

[Soontir Solo]

"They aren't gone yet and I won't take the chance of losing any ships. If anybody has there doubts about my loyalty watch me now."

Soontir blasts off toward the incoming squadron, ready to give his life if necessary to make sure nothing happens to the freighters or his wingmates who have been shot up pretty badly. Soontir sends forth a hail of laser fire and manuevers around the squadron. 9 skips follow in pursuit, Soontir uses his Clawcrafts great speed to manuever back around to the last 3. Firing three torpedoes at each and using laser fire to distract the dovin basals Soontir scores three kills. The other 9 have come back around though and slam his shields. Shields down to 20%.

"Direct hit from a plasma missile."

Soontir keeps moving away, pulls a 180 degree turn directly facing the skips and fires his remaining 4 proton torpedoes towards them. They connect with the dead hulls of the 3 skips he just destroyed, causing massive explosions all around the 9 skips. The skip squadron is almost anhilated but Soontir has severe damage and limps toward the fleet, with one claw completely torn off his craft.

"Someone better tractor beam me in and take me into hyperspace, and by the way I've got some shrapnel that has cut through me............."

Soontir passes out

[Kapit]

*egrog watches soontirs ship take a pounding* I TOLD YOU!!! ARGH!!! trying to playing freakin hero!

pride of hapes, get a ship with a tractor to 11's last coordinates, he's unconcious

*over the com* copy that 7, we're on our way, hold them off while you can

*egrog shuts off the com* sure, no problem

*gives his engines all they have* dammit, shields aren't enough, no missles, by the Force if i get out of this alive i'm gonna kill you.....

*he sets his awing in a spin, trying to throw off the aim of the skips. it works, but he still gets some glancing blows* 15%....just a little longer

*he blows past the skips, and comes around in time to see three hapan fighters finishing the skips* thank the force!

*egrog joins the rest of the twins* let's get the hell out of here. when soontir wakes up.....ARGH!

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir dreams about Csilla and the other worlds existing under Chiss influence. He dreams about his home and family. He dreams about seeing the end of the Yuughan Vong threat to the Chiss and the galaxy as a whole.

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina gets more aggervated. " I think we are ready to leave. Just like old times, lets get to Soontir." Jaina comms in. On my mark.
3....2....1...."MARK, lets go Twins," Jaina says.

[Kapit]

*while in hyperspace, egrog thought about what happened just now* i can't believe this! idiot! why in the world did he do that?! ARGH!

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina never doubted his loyalty to the squadron, just certain things that has happened but now she was worried about the wingmate was mad at. " Will this ever end," Jaina thought. As she look ahead of her she was watching the X-Wings in front of her. She was behind the whole squadron she jumped last to make sure none were left behind.

[Soontir Solo]

Medical personel on Pride of Hapes take Soontir up to the Medical Bay and begin extracting the shrapnel. After extracting the shrapnel from his left shoulder and abdomen he is put in a bacta tank.

[Kapit]

*egrog was too mad and upset now to think, so he entered into a deep trance*

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir wakes up, while still in the Bacta Tank, and looks around. Hmmm......well at least I am alive, Soontir thinks. He starts thinking about what he will do after he gets out of the Bacta Tank.

"I'll definitely need some rest, but before that I will have to contact the Chiss High Command and have them send me a new Clawcraft. And I will have to review the fight and talk with Tenal Ka. Then I will rest. Hopefully there is an extra fighter available until my new Clawcraft gets here." Thinks Soontir.

[Jjm3233]

Reaching out through the force Leet could feel the squadron's anger, frustration and fear. He hoped that the Jedi among them would let go their anger; but with all they had been through of late - he didn't know.

[Kapit]

*egrog woke suddenly to hear his countdown timer beeping* looks like we're home now

[Soontir Solo]

A doctor walks up and tells Soontir he would need to stay in the Bacta Tank for another day, to make sure the wounds completely heal. He thought it was too much of course. The Chiss don't even bother with bacta.

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina couldn't wait to get out of her ship. She is just going to go straight to her quarters anfer she checks on soontir and check to see if he will make it.

[Jjm3233]

Exiting his X-Wing, Leet looked around hanger bay. Looking in Jaina's direction, through the force, he felt a supernova of raw anger. This sent one of Leet's brains into an analyisis of what should be done. His other brain hailed Egrog:

"Going for a snack Egrog?"

[Kapit]

*egrog looks over and smiles* of course, isn't that what i always do?

[Jjm3233]

Laughing Leet replies "But of course; eat some for me!"

[Kapit]

*egrog laughs harder* i'll eat enough for the whole squad! i'm starved! if you need me, you know where i'll be the next couple hours...

*heads out the door, quickly*

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina ahead of the others went to the sick bay. They tell her he is going to be in there another day and is going to be fine. She was releved to here that and she turned and went to her quaters to be alone for a while she was to angry to be around anyone and with what all that has happened in such a short time.
Gavin was really worried about her. He saw Leet looking in her direction. "Leet you better go talk to her. She would hurt me if i went. I have known her all my life and the feeling I am getting from her, it isn't going to take much. If I was to go I know I will set het her off. I am worried about her. I think she got mad at me for reaching out to her and checking on her." Gavin says.
Jaina made it to her quarters and cleaned up and was standing at the window looking out at the stars in space. Trying hard to calm down. She was tired of being angry, and holding her feelings inside. She closes her eyes and thought to herself. I can't believe I just walked off from the squad and not saying anything to them. That's not like me at all.

[Kapit]

*egrog was walking towards the mess hall when jaina, and then leet blew by him.....he could sense the dark energy coming off of both of them* that's not a good sign

*suddenly, egrog smelled the wonderful scent of food and completely forgot what happened*

[Jjm3233]

With Egrog gone, Leet headed out to find Jaina. He hoped that she wouldn't take his concern the wrong way - an upset Jedi was not someone to be trifled with.

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina still standing by the window realizes she needs to talk. She realizes she has been trying to be strong her and the Twins. She knew she couldn't it al bottled up in her anymore she knew something bad was going to happen and she didn't want to hurt anyone and she realizes how angry she is. but it is her sister's death and the death of one od their squadmates and her not talking about is and continuing with the missions just made it worse.

[Kapit]

*egrog stopped eating, feeling jainas anger building* that's not good, not good!

*he leaves his food and heads out the door, worried about jaina*

[Jjm3233]

Leet checked Jaina's usual haunts, then ended up in front of the XO's door. Hitting her door chime, Leet stood waiting, when the door opened he walked in. Seeing Jaina by the window he walked over and stood near her. "Jaina, we need to talk." Leet began.

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina turns towards Leet, " I know I was just thinking about that." She says. " It's just that there has been alot going on and not being able to have a good rest or a chance to grive over my sister and Zindra. And having a wingmate who is going to do things is way." Jaina replys as she looks out the window.

[jadeskywalker]

Gavin, Leto and the rest of the Twins went to go check on Soontir.

[Kapit]

*egrog slowly approaches jaina's door, unsure of what to do..he hears "...who is going to do things is way." he slowly walks in*

jaina, what's the deal? i keep getting this incredibly bad feeling from you, and it's not good, cause i'm afriad you might do something, and i don't want that to happen

[jadeskywalker]

"Come Egrog," jaina says.

[Jjm3233]

Nodding at Egrog, Leet replies "Jaina we all feel that way. All of us have lost friends and family in this war. And no, we have not had time to deal with it properly. I'll spare you the Jedi platitudes about anger and strong emotions. But your friends are here for you, like you were here for me when Zhadar was hurt."

[Kapit]

*nodding to what leet says* he's right, you can't let this tear you up. we are all mad at things that have happened, and we're all trying to get over it. i know it's hard, and i know it's been tough, but we have to move past it.

*egrog closes his eyes* i have to admit, i'm still mad at soontir about that little stunt he pulled to prove his "loyalty". i'm not happy that he did that, trying to sacrifice himself, it's not right, and i had to go and drag his butt back to reality. it bothers me, but i'm not going to let it get to me that much

*egrog moves next to jaina* please, just settle down, for the squad, for leet and i. for yourself.......for your sister....

[jadeskywalker]

She turns back to them she was holding back her tears. " That is what I have been trying to do this whole time,trying to be strong for the squad and everyone." she says calmly. " Trying to stay strong for my squad, my friends. i guess i should have talked alot more then, huh? But we haven't even had a chance to even get to talk about them, either. I don't remeber even getting a chance to get it out." Jaina says starting to worry about herself." I don;t want the anger to take over me but it did and I feel really dumb for it, too." she says looking at Leet and Egrog.

" And Soontir's lil stunt made it worse. He may do things to upset the squad but don't get me wrong I never doubted his loyalty either, just the things he does, sometimes. I never wanted him to that and I guess that made it worse."

[Jjm3233]

Seeing the tears in Jaina's eyes, Leet hugs her. "Jaina, you don't always have to be the strong one. And your friends are always here for you. We need a few days off, some R&R, maybe as a group."

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina wraps her arms around Leet and says, " I know I just figured at that time I needed to cause of all what was happening and going on with the squad and Soontir at the same time. So, I figured that I would be the strong then and now look it's falling all apart, or should I say I am falling apert, truthfully." Jaina says as she is being honest to them and starting to feel a lil better.

Jaina smiles," Yeah, I agree we do need a lil R&R. And as a group too. Besides we are all we have that we know that has each other backs thoughout this whole thing."

[Kapit]

yes i agree. we need to stop for awhile

*egrog walks near the bed* we just lost a friend, soontir's in the tank, morale has taken a nose dive, and we just keep going. we need to stop and rest for awhile. continuing on like this we're just gonna tear ourselves apart

*egrog sits on the bed* we need to do something to get us back into that silly happiness we had before. i suggest running up and down the halls yelling and screaming. if you can't laugh at yourself, you can't be happy

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina smiles hugely at Egrog. " In times like these it seems like nothing can dampen your spirit." She say. " And yes, I feel everyone needs a rest and I can feel us tearing ourselves apart that's the worse part. I have trying to not let that happen this whole time and it just keeps on growing stronger and i have been trying to avoid it from happening, too. Ever since the last Vong attack and I ended up in sick bay. We have been non-stop and not resting like we should have been." she says as she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath and looks at Leet and Egrog. " I am so glad you two are here, right now really." Jaina says with a smile. " I guess I was going to break down someday, huh? Why not now and get it out." Jaina says.

[Kapit]

*egrog gives jaina a hug* you ever need a laugh, just let me know. or watch me eat, hahaha. seriously though, it's time to just settle down and get our wits about ourselves and have a good couple of days. any ideas, XO?

[jadeskywalker]

" Well, I figure everybody needs a good sleep right now and we will all be able to think straighter tomorrow. We all had it rough and non-stop too. No time to sink things through and grive for our losses." she says. She hugs Egrog. "You two go get some rest as I will work on trying to get mind. I just want to sit here and look at how peaceful it it out there right now. And thanks to the both of you for talking to me, I really needed it." She says really thnkful she as friends like Leet and Egrog.
" How was Gavin? I think I may have sort of scared him earlier?" she says wondering about Gavin.

[Kapit]

*on his way out with leet, egrog pauses to answer jainas question* i think you should talk to him. last i saw, he had this really sad and pained look on his face. i don't even think he ended up going to see soontir.

*egrog puts his hand on jaina's shoulder as he sits down next to her* he'll be okay. he didn't want to talk to you yet, he was afraid you might get mad at him too, so he's trying to keep his distance. i wouldn't worry too much, as long as you talk to him it'll be okay. for now try and sleep, and try and think "happy" thoughts, maybe me eating, or leet hitting his head on a small doorway

hey! *leet calls, grinning from ear to ear*

*egrog laughs* just try not to get too down, we need you around here. without you we're a squad with no direction, no leader. yeah, the general is in charge, but it's you who makes us a better squadron.

*he smiles* just have a good time, and don't worry aboot a thing. in fact, leave all the planning to leet and i, you deserve a break too.

*egrog stands up and heads for the door* have a good night jaina, and get some quality rest, we need you round here

[jadeskywalker]

As they were walking out Jaina says, " Hey guys, Thanks for listening, it has help me out alot," Jaina says. " I will not leave this room and I will do my best to get some rest. See you guys in the morning in the Mess Hall for breakfast." Jaina says.
" Tomorrow I will find Gavin and talk to him, I promise. I will talk to him alone if that is ok, with you guys?"

[Kapit]

*egrog pops his head in the door, about halfway up* yeah, alone is good, nobody should be around. i'll see you at the mess, and don't worry, it'll be fun tomorrow!!!

*he starts to move away from the door, slips, and falls* OW!

*picks himself back up, looks around to see if anyone else saw that*

*whispers to jaina* that never happened, okay?

*he walks away*

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina laughs, " Nobody saw that and I will meet up with you guys with Gavin. That's the first thing i am going to in the morning." she says laughing shaking her head. She thought what would she do without those two right now.

[jadeskywalker]

After Egrog and Leet left. Jaina tried to get some sleep but she couldn't. She got up and put some water on her face and went by the window, All she could think about was Gavin. Jaina reaches out to feel for him and she could sence that he was still really worried about her and hasn't stopped since he felt her anger. She thought to herself, " I'm not going to rest til I talk to Gavin." She even thought about her promise to Egrog and Leet. I know he isn't going to rest if I don't go now. Jaina made her choice and went to go find Gavin.
She found his quarters and knocked at the door. " Gav., it's me Jaina, can we talk please?" she says. Gavin opens the door. " Yeah we can talk, you know I am open all the time for my best friend, Jaina."
Jaina walks inside Gavin gives Jaina a hug as she hugs him back and cried harer than she did Egrog and Leet. " I'm sorry, Gav. back at the docking bay and during the mission when I felt you reach out for me. I know you were trying to help me calm down and it was wrong of me to do that to you of all people." Jaina says. Gavin looked at Jaina and wipes her tears from her eyes. " No, I'm sorry's Jaina. I know how you are and with all that has happened, I know and don't blame you in a way." He says. " It has always been in you rnature to be strong. After your parents died you were strong because of your sister. She gave you a reason to be strong. And you were strong for me when my parents were killed, too. Now, it just caught up to you. And trying to be strong for the squad too, cause i can feel it earing itself apart, too. And I know that is driving you nuts. I am shocked it took you this for it to finally catch up and now your breaking down and we are here to make sure that doesn't happen, espically me. We are best friend always has and alwya will be, Jaina.I knew you would talk when you were ready and calmed down, and look your here, now." he says with a big grin. " The squad needs their XO and I need my best friend and to me it looks like you need some rest, lil lady." when he looked over at her she was already asleep before he even finished what he was saying. Gavin covers her up with a blanket and brushes her hair out of her face. " What are we going to do with you, Jaina." he says as he walks over to his window and looks out into the black space with the stars sparkling bright. Wondering how tomorrow was going to be for the Twins and espically Jaina.

[Leto Aldriss]

Leto stood next to Soontirr's bed in the medcal bay.

"You know," he said aloud, even though there was noone else around and Solo was still comatose, "Just when you had me all hating your guts, you go and do something stupid and make me think you may not be such Hutt slime after all."

Leto begins to force meld with the unconsious Chiss, in order to help speed his recovery. "You have to survive now so I can go back to hating you," he adds sarcastically.

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir wakes up, see's Leto asleep by his bed. Hmmmmm

"Looks like my shoulder and abdomen are finally healed." Soontir whispers.

Leto begins to wake up as well.

"I didn't imagine I would see you here Leto, so how are things?"

[Jjm3233]

Walking into sick bay, Leet sees Leto and Soontir engages in conversation. "Soontir, you seem healthy enough to wrestle a gundark; and here I thought you were on death's door." Leet began.

[Kapit]

*heading over to the mess, egrog notices everyone is gone* well that's odd, i thought we were meeting here

*reaching out, he senses the rest of his friends either sleeping or with soontir* let's go see how the crazy man is doing

*walking into the medbay, he sees leet and leto around soontirs bed, talking with him* so you're awake! i don't know if i should shoot you or shake your hand

[Soontir Solo]

"Please don't shoot me, I dont relish another day in a Bacta Tank." Soontir makes a rare joke.

"So when is our next mission?"

[Kapit]

*egrog lets out a laugh* look at that, right outta the tank and he wants to kill more vong! hahahaha

*egrog shakes his head, smiling* we're gonna take a few days to let everyone slow down, get back in the right mindset, get morale up. you have any good ideas that don't involve sims or fighting in any way shape or form?

[Soontir Solo]

"A day of sleep and just total rest sounds good to me. Then a few days of sims. By the way does anybody know if I am allowed to leave the the Medical Bay yet? I need send a holomessage."

[Kapit]

i doubt it right now, you're still kinda banged up. and you suggested sims! no sims for awhile, fun is in order, not work *egrog says, smiling*

[Soontir Solo]

"Fun won't help us defeat the Vong. Sims will."

By the way Kaputski are you keeping up with what is going in the EUDF thread?

[Kapit]

OOC: yeah, i'm reading it all, i'm still unsure of what to think, but thanks for the plug!


that's exactly why we're trying to have fun. we've going about this as if we're all war, and look at what has happened to us. zindra is gone, everyone got mad at you, you had to go play hero thinking it would help, and now you're all banged up, jaina's finally getting her emotions in line.....

*egrog looks away* we need to just stop. plain and simple, no thoughts of war, no thoughts of sims, just time to enjoy each others company and have a good time. i know it goes against all your principles, but we have to do this, fo the squad

*truning back to soontir* that being said, is there anything you could suggest for fun, anything you did as a kid back on csilla?

[Soontir Solo]

"I did what I did because it had to be done to make sure our mission was a success. The loyalty thing was secondary to the mission. But anyways, as a child I was educated at the best schools and brought up to be a warrior. My idea of fun was simulation. Life in the Unknown Regions is not easy."

[Kapit]

OOC: i gotta run for a bit, i'll be back in a little while



man, i guess not. well, i'm still looking for input, and right the only thing i have is running up and down the halls yelling gibberish.

*he pauses, thinking* when you're better, do you think a dance would work? get everyone together, have fun, dance the night away......man, i miss that

[Soontir Solo]

Dancing is not something the Chiss did very often, I would probably feel more like simming while you all danced.

[Kapit]

*egrog smiles* oh come on, you gotta live a little! there's so much more to life than just fighting. besides, if you really want to be accepted, then you should consider doing stuff with us, just for fun. just be more open and you'll be happier than ever, trust me.

*egrog looks at soontir* just try not to focus so much on the fighting, and just try to have a good time, that's all you need to do

[Jjm3233]

A wicked smirk came over Leet's Cerean face "I think a dance would be perfectly in order, in fact Egrog consider it an order to organize one - and I think Soontir you could consider it an order to attend."

[Kapit]

*egrog smiles* right away sir! i got some ideas already, and i just need to get some things together

*egrog stands up to leave* from here on, the mess is off-limits, i'm commandeering it in the name of fun. i hope to see everyone there. especially you soontir

*egrog heads out the door, looking for an astromech*

*walks back in* leet, you mind if i borrow your astromech for awhile?

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir broods about this.........

"Whether the Med Personel say so or not I have to get up now and get back in routine."

Soontir gets out of the bed and heads to his room to get cleaned up, a little angry at the thought of being ordered to attend a non-combat function.

[Kapit]

OOC: i don't think we ever had a quartermaster, but i'm thinkin of having a protocol droid around, i can deal with his character and such, and i'm just going to use the fourpio i made, z-4p0, the sarcastic protocol droid



*walking into the mess, egrogs first order of business was to move all the tables* z-4, move those tables to the sides and make this place as open as possible

*z-4p0 walks to a table* sir, what is the point? why move all this around when you humans need to eat?

because we're commandeering it and making it into a dance hall, so get a move on!

right away, *sir*

*egrog busied himself with the selection of music* let's see, some figirn will do, and those old corellian ballads from the old days....

[jadeskywalker]

Gavin makes it to where Soontir's room was. "How are you feeling?" he says. "Jaina would be here but I tried to wake her up and she hasn't moved since she came to talk to me and she is still up there sleeping. I am hoping she didn't put herself in a trace or something. She told me she has never doubted your loyalty and she got even mader at you for your stunt out there." he says. " I am just very happy to see you moving around the way you are now."

[Leto Aldriss]

Leto stands up, "Maybe I oughtta go talk with the XO."

"We have a little in common, what with lost family and all." And with that Leto excuses himself from the med bay comotion.

[Soontir Solo]

"Well Gavin she has no reason to be angry with me, I did what I had to do. It is what happens in war. People are forced to take necessary actions, even when they border on the impossible. If Major Jade is mad at me it is because she doesn't necessarily want to accept this. And I know she questioned my loyalty, most of you did or still might, I could see it in her eye's. But I am doing fine now, had a shower and I'll need some more rest, a good night's sleep for example, but right now if you will excuse me I have to make an important holocomm message."

Soontir walks away.

[Kapit]

*egrog looks around the mess, smiling and quite pleased with how it turned out* z-4, all we need now is the food, but we'll leave it until tomorrow. good job today

*egrog heads out and is sure to lock the doors and put up the sign "don't enter, rabid droid on the loose" he chucles a bit and searches out jaina*

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir leaves a message with the Deck officer requesting a meeting with Tenal Ka in the earliest possible convenience, then heads over to a comm station to send a message to Csilla. He gives his full report and requests another Clawcraft be sent to him.

"One Standard Week? There is no way to get it to me sooner? I could be involved in an engagement before that time."

"I am sorry Captain a week is the earliest we can get you one." says a Chiss Fleet Officer.

"Very well, Solo out."

Soontir walks away, decides to go see the Starfighter Command center to see what fighter he can offer him for awhile, hopefully there will be a Tie Interceptor around some where. Or if I am lucky a Tie Defender.

[Kapit]

OOC: why would i do that? i think you mean soontir........

[Soontir Solo]

OOC: Its fixed now, sorry.

[Kapit]

OOC: it's all good, i was just curious at finding out i suddenly had chiss contacts style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif



*walking around, egrog had checked pretty much every room he could looking for jaina, and was on the verge of just giving up*

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir found ships commanding starfighter officer, but was disappointed to find out they had a few X-Wings available, but nothing else.

"X-Wings............Not for me. Thank you though Colonel."

Soontir heads off to contact Mon Cal High Command and see if they know of a Tie Interceptor available for him.

[jadeskywalker]

As Jaina woke up and cleaned up. She left to see what has been going on and to see if the mess hall was open. As she walks through the hall she sees Soontir comine back from the communation deck. They saw each other and Jaina sticks her tounge out at him and smiles. And continues walking down the hall. All she could think about was food and Soontir looked busy and they were not axcatlly on communation terms right now. She was just tired of being mad at Soontir and his lil stunt scared her to death after what happened to him. All she wanted was to talk to him like she could with everyone else and him not through " It's all about the mission." She's human and he's Chiss and she knew he was all about the mission. So she is going to avoid and not let him get to her no matter what he says.
Jaina ran into Egrog, " There you are XO! I ahve been looking for you all over the place." he says excitally.

[Kapit]

*egrog can't stop smiling* c'mon, i gotta show you what i've been up to.....

*egrog leads jaina to the mess* close your eyes, this has got to be a surprise.....

[Soontir Solo]

As Soontir walks by Jade she stinks her tongue out at him, Soontir doesn't understand this but decides to just ignore it. If Major Jade had a problem with him she could say it to his face.

To a Communication Officer: "Can you patch me through to General Farlander? Or if you can't reach him then patch me to Mon Cal High Command."

"General Farlander sir this Captain Soontir Solo."

"Captain, I heard about your little stunt in your last engagement, heard it was both crazy and courageous." says General Farlander

"Yes sir, thank you sir. I was wondering if you happened to have an Tie Interceptors or similar fighters available that I might be able to use for awhile? My Clawcraft is beyond repair, at least repair oustide of the Unknown Regions, from that last engagement."

"I actually do have some shielded Tie Interceptors here, My task force is going to be joining Tenal Ka's task force shortly so once we do I'll have it sent over to Pride of Hapes for you." says General Farlander

"Thank you sir, It is very much appreciated."

"Your Welcome Captain, Farlander out."

Soontir walks away pleased with not having to end up piloting an X-Wing for the coming engagements.

[Jjm3233]

Leet watched as Egrog scurried around happily planning the dance, Soontir moping around because he had to attend the dance, and Jaina was in much better spirits. All in all a job well done.

[Kapit]

*noticing leet walking by* hey leet, close your eyes, you need to see this too!

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir heads off to the Sim Room.

"Dancing won't help me defeat the Yuuzghan Vong, but this will." Soontir whispers to himself.

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir finds a group of Hapans in there simming...........hmmmmmmmmm this could be good practice. They look at the Chiss with curiostiy.

"May I join you in your simulation?"

"Of course Captain, would kind of simulation would you like to run?" asked the Captain of this Hapan Squadron

"How about we participate in the Sim for the Battle of Ithor, the first part of the battle before the eventual stalemate?"

"Sounds good Captain, would you like to take the lead in this?" replies the Hapan pilot

"If you would like me too then yes I will Captain."

Soontir gears up for the sim, ready to lead this Hapan Squadron against the Vong in this simulation at Ithor. Soontir remembers this battle clearly. It was his first substantial battle against the Yuuzghan Vong when he was a Lieutenant in Spike Squadron under Colonel Fel.

[jadeskywalker]

When Egrog told her to open her eyes, she was shocked of what she saw. " Egrog, this is really pretty, it looks like everyone will be dancing in the stars in space. This is going to be a good dance and get together." she responses in awww. " I think this will work out great for everyone. You did a great job, what til the General sees this." She says. " think he may like this, looks like we will be dancing in the stars. Hey there is you theme for the dance." she says smiling.

[Kapit]

*egrog grins from ear to ear* yeah, that's what i was going for. i'm glad you like it, i wanted you to be the first to see it. i think it turned out well, and i can't wait to see what everyone else reaction to it is

[jadeskywalker]

" I think they are going to Egrog," she says. " Now tell me where can I get food right now, I'm hungry." she says mimicking Egrog when he is hungry.

[Soontir Solo]

Soontir tangles with the skips, leading the Hapan sin there X-Wings against the forces of Shedao Shai.

"Gallinore 1 lead your flight over there to protect Chimaera's starboard side. 2 and 3 Flight I want you all to form up one me, we are taking a run on that Vong Light cruiser that is moving towards our line."

Soontir leads the 2 Flights, able to destroy a few plasma cannons and cause some moderate damage to the Light Cruiser.

"Form back up on me, lets head off those skips heading towards Ralroost. Kre'fey's X-Wings will be after them but lets hit them first and let Kre'fey pick up our scraps."

Soontir leads the entire squadron on a pass against a wave of skips, breaking them up for Kre'fey to finish off.

"Ok looks like up to 60 skips are heading in on the right flank towards the Imperial Forces. This could get nasty. Stay sharp and lets go in slowly. Lets wait till they engaged ith the Imperials then come in and flank them."

Soontir was greatly enjoying this simulation and was impressed with the skill of teh Hapan Fighter Pilots.

[Kapit]

oh...i never thought of that....well, let's see, i'm sure i can get something from here....

*tries to get some food, but it's all closed* they won't let me...

*gives up* looks like we have to wait until z-4 gets it all done, and other than that, i have some food stashed in my bunk. you never know when you'll get hungry

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina smiles with a lil shake of her head. " You are always prepared? Hey did you send an inventation to Tenal Ka? Since this is her ship I feel it would be right that she joins to. What do you think?" Jaina asks.

[Kapit]

*egrog looks around nervously* umm, yes, i....was going...to do that...as soon as i got back....

*under breath* yes that will do

but yes, i am always stocked with food, so no matter what, i have enough to feed the squad if i need to!

*he smiles* i'm really hungry, so i'm gonna head back to my bunk for food. care to join me in some fine dining?

[jadeskywalker]

" Yeah everyone is busy and I'm starved." she says excitally with the mention of food. she hasn't ate since she has been back.

[Kapit]

*on the way out, egrog makes sure to put up his sign that says "food is good, and egrog can feed the squad, see him for food" and smiles again* ah, too fun

*walking back* i'm hoping this works, and honestly, i'm kinda afraid it won't. i just want us all to be a happy family, but lately we've all just kept to ourselves or gotten angry with one another and then kept to ourselves.

*egrog shakes his head* i just want this to work out, i want us all to be happy go lucky, like when i first got here

*he lets out a long sigh* so much has happened, and it's been tough. i admire you being able to hold your composure so well. even if a lot of us could sense what you felt, you still made it look good...

*stops at door* hehe, food, here we come!

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina smiles at him," Well if it wasn't for you and Leet caoming to talk to me I don't think I would have pulled out od like I did. And then I went to talk to Gavin and it was easier to talk to him. when our parents were killed, I had to be strong for my sister and Gavin wasn't so good eith Egrog. Family wise all I have left was my sister and Gavin and I grew up together and I was strong for him too. And that was several years back. I just didn't want him to see me that way. I've been holding alot in since then, Egrog. This was going to happen someday." Jaina says. I have never broke like that in front of Gavin. So, we still have each other and I am happy for it. After you and Leet had that talk with me I felt it was time to go talk to my best friend. The way I was feeling and us knowing each other all our lifes he was scared with him going I would romp on him about it." She says.

" You see when we were out there and when I felt him feeling and trying to calm me down I pushed him away, Egrog. I never do that to him of all people. I must have had a very bad feeling for him to do that. I just wanted to I'm sorry to you too. And Thank you for helping me too." she says. " Besides we're a squadrod we are family, right?" she says apologizing. " I'm hungry lets eat if you want I know I can eat." she says as her tummy rumbles.







'

[Kapit]

*egrog shakes his head and gives jaina a hug* don't worry, we'll always be around, so you know if you ever need anything, we'll be here. i'm glad you talked to gavin, he seemed really.....out of it, i guess. i kept trying to read him, and it was like a storm going on inside of him.....

*opening the door* but who can ever resist our wonderful friend, food!

*smiles and heads in*

[jadeskywalker]

Jaina was happy that she talked to them about this. " Yeah, Gavin was like a storm to read, I reached out for and I still felt him worried and couldn't sleep,that's when I knew I had to talk to him. Food sounds good right now, I'm starved." she says excitally.
