"Yeah, sure. Grab the captain and his stuff and let's hightail it outta here. That creature..." Kai shuddered. "I don't ever want to see anything like that again." Kai helped everyone get back to their ship, and socketed himself into the computer station, ready to get back to Absalom Station.

FYI, Kai is human not an android "Get away from me! I can't even hurt you!" Kai stumbled behind Patterson, still fumbling with the oversized laser rifle. harrying fire: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 2 - 4 = 3

@GM - Unfortuantely, that would put me at -6 to hit, basically fishing for a crit. I at least have a chance to hit the harrying or covering fire DC "Suppressing fire!!!!!" shouts Kai and he closes his eyes and holds the firing stud down. A hiss of frustration caused him to open one eye and see that his fire had opened the creature up to an unexpected attack. I did it! +2 to AC, Hermena(?) covering fire: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 2 - 4 = 17

Seeing Patterson fall, Kai stopped trying to harrass the creature and opened fire on it directly. The blast of fire shot across the intervening space and chewed up the decking right beside the pilot's fallen body. "Um...ooops." attack vs kac: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 2 - 4 = 13

Great! I'm gonna pour them all into this ceiling, okay? Again Kai fired at the creature, and once more he painted the ceiling with laser fire. This was bad. This was real bad. harrying fire: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 2 - 4 = 12

Kai set himself and pulled the trigger again. The laser fire tracked closer this time, but Kai still had a hard time handling the enormous weapon. 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 2 - 4 = 11

will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 Kai grimaced as the apparition's wail cut into his mind. Concentrating on ignoring it, he leveled the artillery laser as best he could, then fired. As he suspected, it was difficult to aim the weapon and pull the firing stud, and balance the whole thing. Patterson made it look so easy. Of course, Patterson couldn't even turn a computer console on without a 3-hour training course, so there was that. attack eac, np: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 2 - 4 = 6

Hey, you didn't write the scenario, or choose my kit for me. Kai's never really been about the physical part of the job. He's happy to sit in the back and use harrying fire or similar.

"Oh joy. Well at least that means it shouldn't be trying to eat my face off. Anyone have an energy-based weapon I can use? I don't think bullets can hurt ghosts." Ready to go. If someone has an energy ranged weapon Kai can use, great. If not...well I can offer wry quips and maybe some advice as we go

"Maybe...maybe I'm not swinging it right? Or mine is broken?" Kai hands the baton to Steev to see if the vesk can make it work. If Kai couldn't use it, he was going to be fairly useless in this fight.

"I think we need to try and get the body. Don't kasathan's have that brain-library thing where they can upload bits of their loved one's personality into a matrix and store it forever? If we can get it, we probably should. We'd probably get paid more too, if anyone cares about that." Kai looked at his datapad. "And in the next 10 minutes, too. Those energy flares are getting really close." Let's just bite the bullet, fight the ghost or whatever it is, and get moving

"All right guys, we've got one more room to check for survivors or bodies, then we need to split. Looks like the cargo hold here on the port aft section (room B5] hasn't been checked yet. then we need to decide what to do about the captain. Let's move!"

FYI I will be travelling from Wed through Sun this week. I may or may not have much time to check in on the game. If you need to bot me to keep the pace moving, please do so, Thanks!

Seeing Hermena taking heavy wounds, Kai stepped up his shooting game, letting his datapad continue the random flashing and sounds directed at the xill. He just aimed and fired. trick attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18 Pbtbttbbtbt!

Kai cursed his luck, then punched the button on his tablet to run the cycle again, firing one-handed at the Xill as the computer station behind it flared to life in a cacophony of light and sounds. trick attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 Finally! Target is flat-footed against my attack

Kai's fingers flew across a nearby keypad, making the console behind the rill buzz with static. It wasn't enough to distract the creature, though. He opened fire as soon as Alzandre cleared out of the way, still trying to down whatever that creature was. trickattack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 attack analog vs kac: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

"Gah!" Kai leaped to the side, pointed his pistol and began pulling the trigger. He didn't stop until the creature was dead. in his mind there is no such thing as overkill, just 'open fire' and 'reload'. trick attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 using the flashing alarm on the display as the trick (bad trick)

Kai dropped into a command seat and pulled out his datapad and a memory module. no way was he going to let whatever was in this databank get away, but he wasn't foolish enough to load it directly into his own rig. "On it, Hellih. Just give me a moment here. I can set the download to pulse fragments, so even if we have more power glitches, it's a minor issue. Not unlike the torrents of the old days, but this is way easier to set up and use." computers: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 2 = 31

"We need to hurry this up. That storm will be here any minute. We've got a half hour or so, give or take..." Kai broke off as he noticed the damage to the bridge. "Well this isn't good. Something came in here and tore this place up good. Looks like it had claws, given the slashes on that chair. Be careful, will you? I don't ever want to have to do anything like that assault on the turret again." perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

@GM - luck had nothing to do with it. Kai was just very observant (that's my story and I'm sticking to it) Kai stood up, shaking just a little. It took two tries just to holster his pistol, and those close enough could hear him muttering "I can't believe I just did that. I can't believe I just did that." When he thought he could speak without a quaver in his voice, Kai said,

Kai doesn't wait to see what the others plan. All he can see is that electronic eye. With his datapad still wired into the electrical system int eh other room, he has no means of making a distraction. He just aims at that electronic eye, the biggest thing in the universe right now, and pulls the trigger. attack vs kac: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

"I can't believe I am doing this, but I sure hope it works." Kai put a small bit of code into the electrical system to cause the lights to flash and small puffs of coolant to float through the intersection where the turret was. As soon as his code started to go into effect, Kai threw himself down the corridor, sliding to a stop on his back with his pistol pointed almost straight up at the turret. He squeezed off a shot, then prepared to roll out of the turret's line of fire. Move 30 and fall prone. Shoot, score! trick, computers: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

"What? Why did you..." Kai broke off as the turret opened fire again. He couldn't imagine after what they had seen on this ship so far why anyone in their right mind would open a new door while they were still dealing with another dangerous situation. If something gribbly attacked them now, they'd be pinioned between two dangers. Of course, it was Hellih, so Kai supposed you couldn't really expect a "right mind". trick, computers: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23 succeeds up to CR3

Kai tried to use his datapad to short circuit the turret, but found he was blocked out of access. Reaching around the corner, he fired a shot off blindly anyways. trick, computers: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Once everyone was ready, Kai connected to the mess hall doors and sent the open command, stepping back so that the front-liners could handle what ever lay beyond...but not before sneaking a peek himself. computers: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

"Maybe, but it was already at low juice. These things are only meant to run on batteries as a emergency backup when the main engines aren't online. See here? The ship's engineer likely did an emergency power reroute when they were trying to contain that ghost, or whatever it is." Still, it might be enough to power the bridge door for a few minutes. Enough to get us in there, and maybe get at the drive banks with their records." "Wait, did you test that third bank of batteries? If there is any juice there, we could just re-wire the bridge power. Shouldn't take more than few minutes." perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 engineering: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

"No power, eh? Guess we shouldn't have skipped the engine room after all. Back this way." Kai led the group back to where his datapad schematics showed the engine room to be. He paused at the door, then motioned for Hellih to open it.
