Zarg responds over the comms. "Yer gonna shoot em. We're gonna drive up next ta 'em and smack em around a bit!"
He yells at Gunnz. "Think ya can bring us right in front o' em? Ah've gotta spell that'll do em good but ah dun wanna catch us innit too."
For the meanwhile he takes aim and unleashes a barrage of magic missiles to batter the vehicle.

"Alright!" says Gunnz as she, ahh, guns the engine.
Rrrrrrrrrrrwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" agrees the cruiser as it leaps in pursuit of the truck.
Flooring the accelerator Gunns heads for the tunnel, keen to catch up with the truck.
Luckily the tunnel confuses the other driver, and Gunnz quick reactions (and not putting on the headlights) allows her to catch up. Though not without terror and bladder inducing moments of terror for those in the car, when she accidently steers into the lane of oncoming traffice to bypass a slow driver.
Gunnz believes in digital acceleration, all on or all off. Mostly all on. The vehicle rockets in pursuit of the hover truck. She doesn’t fall behind, but she doesn’t fall behind either.
Conrad moves at a much more sensible rate.
Conrad’s vehicle is too far behind, neither he nor the people in his vehicle can shoot at the fleeing vehicle.
Zargothrax uses a spell on the other vehicles driver, a female Pahtra.
Srurdez fails to hit with any of his shots.

First Seeker Luwazi Elsebo once again summons her chosen agents to the Hall of Discovery. Workers bustle about the chamber, oblivious to the urgent meeting taking place. Luwazi addresses the gathered agents.
“Congratulations,” she begins, grinning proudly. “You’ve met the objectives outlined in my first meeting. Thanks to your hard work, the AbadarCorp board refused to pass the vote of no-confidence Datch initiated against Iseki-Okaibo. The executive archdirector’s position is secure, and our new allies proposed a counter-motion to remove Datch from her position, pending investigation.” Luwazi pauses for a moment to savour the first true victory over her adversary.
“Datch isn’t the sort to cooperate with an investigation, unfortunately. As I predicted, Datch already fled to her private hideout, a secure compound orbiting Verces. She’s absconded with an armada of automated battle drones, and I’m sure that’s not her only line of defence. Thanks to the evidence you helped collect, the Stewards have authorized the Society to engage the drones and oversee Datch’s arrest.” Luwazi glances around at her assembled teams, an expression of triumph on her face.
“Starfinders, this is our first opportunity to act against Datch directly. I know many of you want this, so I don’t need to tell you how important this mission is. Using the elevation ceremonies as cover should give us the element of surprise, but let’s not waste any more time. Travel to Verces immediately, and be ready for anything.”
In response to the announcement, you are told to break off the chase and report to the docking bays to get your ship.
After obtaining special permissions from the Stewards to act against Datch, Luwazi sends you to Verces for the final step in her plan to take down Datch. An ominous cloud of countless drones forms a barricade between the Starfinders fleet’s positions and the orbital compound.
Ahead you see a barrier of drones preventing you from reaching Datch's compound. Looks like it is time to turn some drones into scrap!
Neither drone appears to take an action in Engineering Phase.

Gunnz pulls the Pegasus around trying to get into a good position with the drones.
Even with the engines on the blink, Gunnz is about to outwit the drones.
Sparks fly as the pegasus is rocked by the nuclear blast. "See what happens when I don't get time to put SMC on?" she says, reaching forward for a selection of combat music (tm).
As soon as the music is safely on, Gunns sends the ship into a series of complex corkscrew rolls to try and throw the drones off target.
"If you have them, SMOKE them" suggests the pilot.
A burst of light accompanies the destruction of the first drone. The rush of victory is short lived, as two more of the furious machines immediately engage. The First Seeker’s abruptly speaks through the ship’s comm unit, “Don’t lose hope, Starfinders. Your friends have messages for you. I’m patching the first transmission through now.”
The upbeat voice of Zo! blares through the speaker. “Greetings, future mega-celebrities! My studio just released the uncut edition of your episode of Pact World Warriors. I’ve got enough fan mail here for you to create another Liavarian moon.” Zo! clears his throat and begins reading from the fan submissions.
“I heard you saved AbadarCorp execs on Castrovel from dangerous wildlife. Did you prepare a meal afterward just like in the Combat Cooking Extravaganza? You and Zo! should open a restaurant and call it Live Ingestion Extreme!”
“I looooooooved your season, oh em gees! Starfinder merch when? Just take my credits already!”
“It’s me, your biggest fan in the Veskarium. Here’s some pics of my pet squox’s litter. I hope it’s okay that I named them after you.”
“I’m only six, but I want to be a Starfinder when I grow up. How do I join?”
Zo! stops reading and remarks, “They’re all cheering for you. Oh, and if you take footage of your ongoing battle, I’d be happy to use that as promotional material for the release. Call me!”

Gunnz pulls around behind the yellow drone, continuing to corkscrew the ship as she does so.
"Hold on, we are coming in behind it."
More sparks fly and the standard array of unsecured cupboards slam open, spilling yet more AbdarFlakes across the galley. Who keeps stocking them anyway?
"Zo! never misses a chance... Call him? Maybe."
She changes the music to a slightly slower track.
Zargothrax manages to restore energy to the port shield.
Conrad encourages Orrian to hit with the best weapon.
Gunnz isn't quite as unpredictable a flyer this time as she is known for. That engine glitch is interfering!

The crackle of static signals another incoming transmission. “Hello! Can you hear me?” asks a timid voice. “I’m Riika. You probably don’t remember me, but I’m one of the kiriintas you helped on Stabrisis-14. You inspired me to visit the Pact Worlds. I love it here. I even got a job as a researcher for an expedition studying the flora of the Liavaran moons. I came to Absalom Station on my vacation to personally thank you for expanding my horizons. I want you to know that even though I heard some nasty rumors about the Starfinder Society, I don’t believe any of them.”
Srurdez decides that sending extra power to the weapons at the same time as Zargothrax is sending it to the shields might be good.

"Gunnz if you can get them in the sights of different guns I'll 'fix' the targeting protocols!" Srurdez calls up through the intercom.
Oh, Srurdez "fixes" the targeting protocols alright. Unfortunately everything on Orrian's screen turns from Common into Vesk, and the targeting reticle seems to be miscalibrated.

Gunnz jinks around, trying to stay out of the ships forward arc in the hope that is their only weapons.
Stomaches clench as unexpected g-forces grip the crew and the Pegasus engines take on that familiar "gunnz-whine" as they are pushed well past the red-line.
"Come on baby, lets dance..." she mutters to the damaged ship.
"Firing solutions for dead ahead and off the port side.." she affirms to the chief mate.
Suddenly, a squad of blue and gold starships emerges from the Drift, clustered like an honour guard around an impressive battleship. The massive ship glides into the fray and immediately disintegrates a group of nearby drones as it fires its powerful laser with surgical precision. “This is Stewards Overwatch battleship Steadfast responding to your call for assistance.”
“Buddies! It’s me, Hemlock, from the Xenowardens on Aballon,” a synthesized voice drawls. “We Xenowardens are totally grateful for your help with cleaning up the Ice Well. The ecosystem is finally back in its groove after you Starfinders shut down that shadow gate. Things are chill back on Aballon, but I heard you’re having problems with some corporate spin doctor. Don’t let her harsh your mellow, and remember, not all of us believe everything we read on the infosphere.”
Stewards Support: A patrol of Steward starships arrives to the fray to assist the Starfinder fleet. The PCs gain a +4 bonus to starship combat checks until the end of the current drone wave.
Srurdez tries to adjust the targeting systems to give Orrian a little extra help. Forgetting for a moment that his scripts are in Vesk, he has to quickly undo part of his update which prevents it from being ready in time. Orrian does see a brief flash of all his screens swapping to the Vesk language before they restore themselves.
Meanwhile the Lizard Wizard works his magic on the engines. Tall Sam will no doubt want to have some words with him after he hears about what was done, but provided you don't take another big hit it should hold together!
