WILD FORCE New World (episode 2)

The starship battle in open space between a destroyer
under command of Darth Revugoth and republic ship White Cloud
under command of padawan Aýa was the product of general Rovel's
betrayal. Empire won this space battle.

In attempt to escape the destroyer, seriously damaged White Cloud
entered light speed with random and unknown coordinates. Thanks to skills
of Annawulf, many of imperial forces that boarded this ship where sucked out
into the space and killed. However, Darth Revugoth was not.

Now, survived members of the White Cloud crew are making their way
towards the hangar to use Xelon's ship, Forasaken, and escape on time once
friendly and safe starship White Cloud, and now the
worst and deadliest enemy to its passengers.

Hyperdrive explodes from overheating, slowing down the White Cloud, making it exiting the light speed in the orbit of a mysterious planet. Explosion sends fire through the halls of White Cloud, blowing it from inside. Planet's gravity field leans the ship on one side, and ship would be a dead weight in the space if there was no planet to pull it down. Slowly, White Cloud starts falling, with the chaos inside for those who are still alive. Oyo turns towards Xelon: "I hope your ship has seat belts." Forsaken does not stand stable in the hangar, as gravity system of the White Cloud is failing, and it slowly slips to one side, almost. Explosions inside shake the ship and many pipes and crates, other small objects fly around through the rooms of the ship, some bouncing one from other. The terrain begins difficult to move on.

"Let's get there first, then we'll worry about the seat belts" Xelon nervously says. As he runs towards the ship Oyo stops in front of the ship's door, awaiting Xelon's code to unlock it as it keeps its balance on the edge of the hanger:
"Right, the code, uhh He proceeds to unlock the door, then Xelon says: Remind me to change that, if we make it out alive. He pauses for a second Alright then! Welcome aboard!" He tries to be cheerful.
As he sits on the captain's chair, he calmly turns the systems on, and asks: "If my master's.. He frowns and stutters .. My.. ship makes it out of here, do we even know where we are? or where we would go?"

On his way to the Xelon's ship, Oyo dodges two flying crates before he stops before the ship's door and impatiently waits for Xelon to open them. When he does and they are finally inside, Oyo places his hands on the the chair, but is too nervous to sit: "I don't know, anywhere is better than here." Oyo then looks over his shoulder to see if others are coming. While Annawulf and Aýa are still in the hangar, slowed down by the dying White Cloud, Xelon has few options.

1. [Tell Oyo to go help them]
2. [Go help them yourself, leave piloting to Oyo]
3. We leave without them.

1. [Tell Oyo to go help them]
Xelon looks over his shoulder at the other seat, wondering why Oyo won't sit down.
As they notice the others having a hard time getting to the ship he asks Oyo gently to go help them:
"I think they like you more than me, why don't you help then?" holding a slight laugh as he says that.
He turns the engine on, muttering : " Here we go, all of Kenero's flying lessons are finally to be put on the test" readying the ship for taking off the White Cloud, powering up shields and looking for a safe spot to leave the planetary gravitational field.

Oyo nods and makes his way towards the ship exit. "I will do that. I hope you know how to fly this thing." There, he holds for one hand for the edge of the door and leans down extend his hands towards arriving survivors. Then hangar is mess and it looks like a hill that Annawulf and Aýa need to climb up to reach Oyo's location now. Crates and other objects slip down the hangar floor towards them. (Awareness 10 for Anna and Aýa to safely avoid dangerous objects falling towards them)

Stumbling from both the explosions rocking the ship and the sudden tilt of the deck, Anna swears "Son of the Sith, who the hell is flying this scrapheap." Looking over at the battle-weary kid and back at the ship, she sighs and grabs her. She then proceeds to help/push the kid towards the ship, "Damn it, I know I'm going to regret this but I'll get an earful from her boyfriend if I leave her here." Anna mutters as they both make way to the Forasaken.

Aýa attempts to move the coming objects away, but as she was already tired from the battle, her senses and connection to force are weaken. In that moment Anna was lauder in Aýa's ears than all explosions on the ship together.

With the explosion of the Hyper drive, Xelon is hardly keeping the ship in one place without it sliding to the other, so he decide to fly a a meter above the ground and go against the gravity of the ship.
"I hope you don't hate me but,, um, I think we need to find a rope or something to pull Aya up" Xelon says loudly.

Annawulf 5+3.5=8.5vs10 failure
Aýa 15+5-3=17vs10 success

Annawulf did not pay enough attention as she pushed Aýa up. A pipe passes nearby and hits her in arm, pulling her down towards the door of the hangar. Aýa on other side, had no problems to avoid falling objects even if she was tired, this was almost no effort for her to avoid every single object that could fall on her. Annawulf's fall was not serious for her own health, but she changed the direction of the falling pipe, that ended up hitting one of dangerous ammunition boxes. When the box opens, a rocket drops out of it, and activates as it hits the surface of the hangar's floor with red button. The rocket then flies towards Forsaken, and Xelon's computer on the ship begins to glow red, alerting the incoming impact. As Oyo waits for Aýa to jump in the ship, his eyes wide as he seems the incoming rocket. (Piloting 10 to dodge the rocket and let it fly out of the hangar into space)

Xelon sees the alarm on the radar of the ship and freaks out, pressing all the thruster buttons hoping the ship can accelerate fast enough to let the rocket pass.
"Oyo! hang tight! He shouts nervously, and mutters: "Really? What's next? The hanger door falling on me and my ship falling on my friends heads?"

Aýa jumps on the falling object and from it on the next one, using them as stairs towards Forsaken. At the end she jumps from a crate few meters up and enters the ship with Oyo's help. She remains there waiting to see if Anna will get out of this situation somehow. She turns towards Oyo and gives her suggestion: "Maybe we can pull her towards us with the Force. It would be ..." She then drops her jaw as she sees the coming rocket.

Xelon 5vs10 failure

Xelon was not fast enough. He moved the ship yes, but the rocket hits the edge of the Forsaken's engine and explodes, damaging the controls of the ship, and adding -5 penalty to piloting as long this ship is not repaired. Aýa holds for Oyo to not fall out of the ship as Forsaken rotates around the hangar. Once the ship is stable again, Aýa uses the Force to push the falling objects away from Anna's path, so she can now have a clear way up to them.

While the pipe didn't cause any permanent damage, it still hurt like hell.  "Stupid, Stupid, Stupid" Anna mutters as she berates herself.  "I knew i was going to regret it."  As she gets her bearings again, she see the rocket impact the Forasaken, causing it to rotate around.  Dodging some debris, she yells "Watch what you're doing, You Dumb-Ass!!! Don't you know how to fly a damn ship!!"  Once stabilized, she moves towards the hatchway that contains Aya and Oyo.  With their help, Anna is able to get in when she gets there.

Oyo helps Anna enter the ship and yells towards Xelon: "Go go go!" With fist he hits the button and closes the Forsaken exit door. But troubles do not end there. The White Cloud enters the atmosphere of the new world beneath them, leaning the ship even more to one side as the planet gravity becomes stronger. While Cloud starts to catch on fire from outside now, and appears to look as a comet or a meteor that falls from the sky. (10 Piloting to fly out of White Cloud with Forsaken)

When the rocket hits the ship, Xelon flies towards the glass and gets his face smacked in.
"Oyo asked about the seat belts, why couldn't he remind me!" He says with irony in his tone.
When they all board and the door closes he prepares the ship for flight, and leaves the White Cloud's hanger bursting out against the planet's gravity field, using all emergency and normal thrusters he hopes the ship can make it with the blown engine to the right before he can finally use the main engine and activate the hyper drive.
" Umm, Anna? I think you should take control.. NOW?"
Should she accept to take control, Xelon gets out of Captain's chair into the assistant's chair.

As she makes her way towards the cockpit, Anna yells back, in irritation and annoyance, "Yes, you damn Light-bulb, I'll fly this thing."  Shoving Xelon out of the way, she settles into the pilot's chair and takes a brief look at the instruments.  "It takes actual and hard-earned skill to fly a ship," she says as she grabs the controls and begins to guide the ship out of the hanger.  "You can't just wave your hands and suddenly become a pilot."

Annawulf 11+8.5-5=14.5vs10 success

Obviously much more skilled in piloting than Xelon in his own ship, Anna successfully flies out of the White Cloud's hangar without even scratching Forsaken, despite of the damaged controls. But even outside on the sky, White Cloud was still the threat. Its debris fall all around Forsaken as the inside explosions are still destroying the ship. Once an explosion separates a huge, far more bigger engine of the White Cloud, than Forsaken itself, this engine with all the fire on it moves straight towards Forsaken. (Piloting 18 to dodge White Cloud's Engine)

Inside the White Cloud, on the bridge, Darth Revugoth does not have much of the options either. The scanners do not recognize the planet where the White Cloud is falling, but one side of the plant has almost no life form, where scanners detect droids and machines only, while other half of the planet appears to have life form and wild, but with almost no technology on it. Revugoth has still time to decide on which side will White Cloud crash. White Cloud is too damaged to fly away, but navigation controls will work enough to change the direction of the White Cloud. Forsaken scanners also give same results of the planet to Xelon, half planet with life forms, and other half of planet with droids.

"Phew! That was close." Said Xelon before he saw the engine on his screen: "Really? AGAIN?"
When he saw the life detectors he was confused, saying: "Why would there be technology without people using it, and why would people that have technology stay away from it? Then looks at Anna:
"Say we survive that engine, I believe we should land on the living side. But as for now, I think we're going to the graveyard side of the planet."

Seeing how Anna flies out of the hangar, Oyo cannot decide is she brave or insane to fly with the ship like this. But he realizes that the situation crazy like this requires crazy pull outs, just like Anna menages to do it. Listening to Xelon's words as he holds for the hall walls, Oyo cant believe Xelon's talking about scanner results. So Oyo approaches Xelon from behind and leans on his chair above Xelon to read scanner results for himself. "What is that ... how ... this planet seems to be divided, all the life inhabits one side of the planet, and other half of planet has a working technology and many droids with almost no single life form. What planet is this? Where are we?"

Biting back a savage curse, Anna struggles with the controls of the damaged Forsaken. Hearing Xelon's and Oyo's comments, she replies back "Of course we're going to the droid side, we need to fix this ship," while trying to dodge debris. "We'll find out where we are later, now is not the time," she said trying to stabilize and maneuver the ship all the while.
