Dae holds up their comm unit. "And that, friends, is how we came to defeat the pirates who kidnapped us and fight off the Corpse Fleet. All in a Dae's work!"
Zlee, it looks like you still need to fill out the RPGChronicles signup sheet (linked in the header).
Bit of a swing from the dice module, there.
Thanks for running!
That looks like a big nothing. There are worse times to roll a nat 1, though.
Dae locks onto the nearest Corpse Fleet vessel and fires!
The pahtra moves practically as soon as the third body hits the floor, dispelling his solar hammer and sliding into one of the seats at the weapons console. "We accept your surrender. Tick--Tick, I think you're the only pilot we've got. Obo, you and I can take the guns. Zlee...I don't know. Think good thoughts."
Blazing with solar fire and leaving a trail like a comet, Dae streaks towards the captain and strikes. Radiance bursts forth around them, dazzling Captain Firestorm and Blue. The solarian shouts, "OH, YEAH! You've been HAMMERED!"
Dae sits bolt upright and grabs their comm unit. They set the camera to selfie mode and worriedly examine their face before relaxing. "Oh, thank the gods! Not even a singed whisker! Oh, and, ah, thanks, Zlee. That thing packed quite a punch."
They agree to let the group pass without ratting them out.
Dae goes down hard.
"Hey, Polly--what is that thing?"
"It's hammer time!" Dae takes a short step forward and tries to bludgeon the beastie.
Dae takes the full brunt of the spirit damage.
Dae's whiskers twitch, but the pahtra quickly regains their self-control. "We--well, Tick-Tick there did the hands-on work--repaired your drive and got your missile launcher back on line. Who's doing a better job of handling 'the problem outside the hull,' us or the Captain? Stand aside and let us show you!"
"Oh, let's talk to it. If it's an enemy, better to fight it before we get to the bridge."
There's a rope and a guardrail! What more could safety inspectors want? Besides, they're pirates, and the Pirate's Code (apart from being more what you'd call guidelines) doesn't include anything like OSHA. Although the sarcesians are supposed to be civilizing the Diaspora now, so now I'm imagining a sarcesian swarmship coming up on a Free Captains vessel: "Attention, Bloody Vengeance! Heave to and prepare to be inspected!"
Dae looks over the airlock area for conveniently-placed magboot storage.
Dae follows, pointing their comm unit camera around.
"We should get the missile launcher back on line, though, so we don't get pounded apart while we're taking the bridge."
"I see only one set of doors to check before we follow the rat's advice and go up." Dae heads west to the double doors and prepares to open them.
I'm sorry, Zlee.
"Well, let's go see."
"Depends on what you need to do to fix it, I guess. Not my field. If computers could fix it, though, I'd bet they already would've done it from the bridge."
Dae points their comm unit at the ysoki. "Looks like he got a charge out of that. But the engine's fine now! I knew he could do it!" Then the pahtra looks for a video pickup. "Ah, Captain Concierge--which way to the missile launcher?"
Dae follows, murmuring into their comm unit. "We'll need to get the ship repaired before we can take it over and fight off the Corpse Fleet. Good thing we have a fine engineer!"
The pahtra gives a trilling purr of amusement. "Sure thing! Just remember that you're more likely to find people to blow up when you're doing the repairs."
"But Corpse Fleet! None of us can breathe vacuum!"
Dae's whiskers flatten against their muzzle. "Focus, Tick-Tick! We need you to fix the engines and the missile launcher!"
"And who do you think is attacking us? It looked like the Corpse Fleet out there, not pirates."
As the solarian follows along, they call to the hologram, "Wait, who's Brinn?"
Dae glances at their comm unit pickup. "I didn't see that coming! Let's find out what Captain Concierge has to say!" They turn back to the holomander and smile. "Hi there! That sounds like a great idea, but we've got this Corpse Fleet thing happening. Taking over a ship during a firefight doesn't sound like a very good plan."
Dae Attunes to photon◆, Strides forward◆, and hammers at Red◆. "Someone to fight who isn't trying to blow up the ship! Here we go!"
They grin as the blazing hammer smashes home. "Guess you can see Dae-light now!"
Who's the round token on the map?Those are the pirates entering the room. I don't think so--this looked like Iseph, not a ysoki, and it was nowhere near the doors. In any case it's gone now.
If they don't find anything else in the room , Dae sidles to the opening to the west and peers around its edge.
Who's the round token on the map?
Dae does a quick search of the area for anything else of interest.
"What's this? Out of the piratical pan into the Corpse Fleet fire? You won't believe what happens next!" Oh, if I can get this back to the comm nets I'm going to be swimming in hits! Dae follows Tick-Tick, then takes a look down the northwest passage.
The first thing Dae grabs is their comm unit, and promptly sets it to record while they don their armor. "Hi, folks. Sorry about going silent for a while--I was captured by pirates! Let's see how I'm going to get out of this fix!" They grin at the camera and invoke their solar weapon, a massive hammer of photonic energy. "Time to charge my plasma-powered pirate thrasher!"
I just think he sounds like he wants a really nize hat.
"Seriously, listen to the vlaka."
