"That rat...no...I..didn't mean you Fordon...nevermind! That assassin take her down now...I want the last hit." Navasi says now wanting to take her own revenge.
She then fires her pistol.

Navasi holds on to stabalize.
Fordon retaliates by firing a laser over his fallen teammate and into the chest of the assassin.
With the assassin now in her face Navasi switches to her knife as well but is struggling to make a hit.
---
Her ysoki ally has just as much trouble before taking a guarded step.
"Yeah, you are out of luck today. We will take you down quickly." she calls out.
As Navasi and Fordon start scoping the room for bombs Zo! walks up to the group. "You wild things clearly aren't making social rounds. I can see it in your eyes! Plus on Eox everyone is trying to kill each other...what can I do to help? I can't have something happening to my new stars like that muscly hunk Meme." he says chattering his teeth with excitement. Navasi explains the situation and he agrees to help. Zo! takes the stage to gush over his new friends and the missions they have been on buying them time.
Navasi combs the tables and pillars looking for the device but comes up empty. She hears a whistle from Fordon who finds their first device. Fordon quickly gets to work taking it apart.
He fails to disable it but it as the two pour down in sweat it doesn't trigger at least.
"Alright, but we need to be careful not to tip her off like you said. Not at least till we know where she is. Any of you want to put on a show while we work? Get up on stage and talk about your vids or something?" Navasi says with a wink as they head into the gala room.
"She won't know we are coming so she should still at lest have the same appearance even if she changed into one of the technicians. If we can find the bombs...my little mousey and I can hopefully disarm them quick enough. If those four wrappers Tolmu found are any indication then that is how many bombs we have to worry about." Navasi suggests as she looks at the group.
"I think finding her might be the easy part...I am worried about those explosive wrappers Tolmu spotted. Even better if we disarm them all so their plan blows up in their face!" Navasi adds.
"Should definitely contact your boss, Radaszam, while we head back. He may be able to make sure nothing goes down before we find em. Resting is a good idea but we have a decent ride back so I will do it on the lifts. Gonna make my furball here do it too!" Navasi says.
She helps the others look over the rest of the area before they depart but doesn't find anything of use.
Navasi calls over Fordon to work on the computer while the others search the rest of the belongings.
The screen flashes "Invalid Password: 2 Attempts remaining." as they work through the firewall. "Give it another go Fuzzy! We got this."
On their second attempt the screen goes black a moment before unlocking to a full screen of search windows and documents: -First: On one window is a search for Sanivvi Acheosi, tawny-skinned human woman with wildly curly hair currently residing on Castrovel, and several pages of instructions and videos for styling curly hair. GM Rolls:
After the group is shown the image everyone but Navasi agrees they saw that woman walking around with appetizers during the gala earlier. -Secondly: Another window has a secure folder in the documents directory that requires more firewall busting.
Again the duo stumbles on the first intrusion as they work through the cyphers and which program to run but eventually they work it out together. Navasi rubs the Ysoki's cheeks then shares the infomration with the group. "Not good at all...this file has a list of names, dates, and locations, ending with...“Luwazi Elsebo; Lorespire Complex, Skyreach Room, gala”...with today's date." Navasi says looking rather concerned. The Ysoki is quickly working through the infosphere for more data on the list. "They are all dead minus Elsebo...everything lines up with the list. The dates and locations but different perps each time..." he chatters out mixed in with clacking of the keys.
Let's finish it!" she calls out before thrusting her knife upwards.
Not wanting to fire around Meme the envoy runs around to the opposite side before leaping onto a barrel to provide the vanguard with flanking. She then slashes out with her knife.
Seeing both her and her ally in bad shape she attempts to finish off the weakened one.
"That should do that one in...get the last one before it takes us two out." she cries desperately.
Navasi continues to direct the group towards the red scaled electrovore before slashing out at it with her knife.
"This one is hurting let's finish it off." she calls to the group to coordinate attacks.
She then tosses a grenade past the creatures hoping to catch both in the blast. The grenade explodes into a wave of shrapnel that envelops both electrovores.
Navasi dodges out of most arcs of lightning but can't avoid the huge burst completely.
Navasi cringes at the news from Tolmu. "So we need to keep them at a distance? Let's open fire then starting with that red scaled one!"
Navasi stirs back to consciousness as Tolmu's healing energy washes over her. "Thanks...I thought I made my final mistake. This one is obviously trapped...think we can disable it before it charges up again, Fordon? Then we can give hacking through that door another go." she says catching her breath.
Unable to move quick enough the elctiricy courses through Navasi as she falls back convulsing for a moment before falling unconscious.
Navasi is unable to pull up anything about the supposed hideout during their trip on the elevators but she does find criminal records of Triloteya spanning many years with bounties in many sectors of space. None of the bounties include an image. --- "Nothing, huh? Well let me sit down with the touchpad for a minute and let's see if we can get it to cooperate." Navasi says pulling out a kit which she plugs into the touchpad.
"Well to expand further it always depends on who the opposing group is. Pirates like money so you work out a deal. Others may be more accepting of assistance or promises. And some there is no hope so you look for the quickest out." Navasi says to Naiaj hoping to change her attitude.
"Don't know if I would put it quite that way but your are right." Navasi adds.
Navasi heads over to strike up general conversation with Naiaj as well to help garner some information.
Naiaj talks about her time in the field working on the computer and mechanical systems of the Starships she flew on. "Society crews these days cannot maintain a proper ship. They damage the computer systems, the engines, and can't even fly them through a debris field. Perhaps I need to go into the instructor profession instead of being a Venture-Captain. Plus they all jump to combat with any ship they encounter instead of reasoning through it." Naiaj goes on while tapping through her datapad.
--- Navasi in turn invites her team over to discuss any of the topics they share.
"I haven't had to fly through many debris fields but the concepts of it are simple enough. Take it slow and maneuver through in low power. Anything more and you can upset the gravity making it harder to navigate."
With Royo and Ykris not being her style she heads back to Iteration-177. "Sorry about leaving so promptly. I saw my companion smoozing with Zo! and wanted to add a little flair. He ate it up. Reminds me of one of the missions where we went on a reality show." she says making up the details as she goes along.
Navasi seeing Meme attempting to close the deal with Zo! breaks off from Iteration-177 and heads over. "I will be right back. It seems a show has started around our guest from Eox." she says with a bow.
The crowd dispersed enough to allow her to cartwheel into a backtuck landing right next to the Elebrian. "I see my associate is showing off his prowess. The talents of the Starfinders are diverse and exciting." she says inching closer as they converse.
"Some of us keep our secrets hidden under all the pomp and circumstance." she says twirling her azimuth laser pistol before dropping it but uses the distraction to draw her survival knife to surprise the crowd as she slips behind Zo! "Always have a backup." she laughs before putting both weapons away.
"Alrighty. You three knock em dead while I work on this Apsis guy." Navasi says to Fordon before heading to her mark. She walks over to the well dressed android as he talks to other junior Starfinders. "Mr. Iteration-177, my name is Navasi and I can't help but appreciate someone trying to bring together two VERY different organizations. How does the Consortium feel about this overall?"
She winks slyly while shooing the others away.
Navasi winks to the others as they head off to their respective targets. "Let me know if y'all want company otherwise I might see about this charming android from the Apsis Consortium."
The fourth member of the squad arrives as the briefing is wrapping up. "It seems I showed up a bit late but I got the information. The name is Navasi and it is a pleasure to meet you all. This gala is sure to be filled with my least favorite type of people but for the greater good!"
"I shared a little background information on Iteration-177 that I have heard on the channels." she says as a ping comes across on the local frequency. Iteration-177: Iteration-177 is a relative newcomer to the Aspis Consortium. In addition to making waves by urging Consortium support of the Starfinders, they have an interest in religious artifacts and connections. |
