*I sit in my cell for what seems like another few days, then hear loud noises outside my door. I walk up and press my ear against it. I hear noises of running and shouting, then blaster fire. Suddenly, my door comes open. I nearly fall on the ground, but regain my balance.*
=Jayd=

Come on! We're getting out of here!

IC: Jayd! I'm sure happy to see you!
*I quickly follow him, as he hands me a blaster. We run down the corridors, shooting at every guard we come across. Most of them either run or die fairly quickly. They all seem a little surprised at their situation. Finally, we make it to the doors of the hangar bay.*
=Jayd=

There's bound to be a lot of them in there.

*He proceeds to order Blast, Jirna, and Hothar to one side of the doors, and he takes a position with Ferath and I on the other. We all wait, and he nods to us as he presses the button to open the doors. They come apart, and Jayd and Blast look around the corner their guns first. A volley of shots come through the door. Blast is hit in the arm, being just quick enough to draw back, but Jayd takes a shot to the face, and sprawls on the floor. The crewmen cry out, and we all surge through the doors as soon as the firing dies down, firing wildly. The soldiers are behind a barricade across the hangar, and they duck for cover. Blast uses his good arm to lob a thermal detonator in their midst, and just before the explosion, they cry out, knowing their fate. Jirna and I pick up Jayd's body, and we all board a Firespray Interceptor. Once inside, I take the ship's controls, and start taking off. I fly the ship up into space.*

*A Firespray Interceptor flies from the sky, and the crew and I get ready for action.*

*I fly low over the water and send the codes from the ship's memory. Water sloshes off the landing pad rising up to meet the ship. I set her down lightly, leave the cockpit, and walk back to the cargo bay. I grab a blaster, the rest of the crew following me off the ship. The doors open to the inside of a hangar resulting in my crew unloading on three hangar workers.*
IC: Alright, let's see if we can get to a terminal and find out where this guy sleeps. Try not to let them sound the alarm.
*They all nod as we move forward toward the hangar doors.*
*The doors open, and we jog through into the hallways beyond. We round a corner to see 4 troops, and light 'em up, taking them by surprise. There is a terminal a few feet away, and I wait while Hothar accesses it.*
=Hothar=

Good. He's this way.

*We follow Hothar, and he leads us down the passageways. Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounds.*
IC: They must've found the bodies! C'mon!
*Hothar leads us in running full speed. We finally get to the right room, but there are 5 guards outside of it. We all roll to cover as shining streaks of energy lance toward us. Jirna screams as a shot cooks part of her leg.*
=Blast=

Jirna! You okay?!

=Jirna=

Yeah...fine...

=Blast=

She can't run like that. I'll carry her.

IC: Alright, but first we gotta take care of these guys.
*Jirna tosses me a thermal detonator, and I immediately activate it and lob it to our enemies. They try to jump away from the ensueing fireball, but none make it. The crew and I proceed to the door, Blast carrying Jirna, his blaster slung over his back.*
IC: Two of you wait here; the rest of us go in and finish this.
*Hothar and Ferath wait outside the door, alert and ready for action while Blast, Jirna, and I go in. I lead the way, my finger on the trigger. As soon as I enter, three successive shots come at me full speed. I barely roll out of the way in time. Blast and Jirna aren't as lucky. They are both hit in critical areas, and my hope for their lives is dim. I stay behind some obliging furniture, and peek over to see my attacker(s). Our enemy, the Chiss, stands about 15 feet away behind a repeating blaster. I duck down as 5 more shots fly over my head.*
=Chiss=

Hahaha! Come on! Take me! I'm right here for ya! You can't, can you? Hahaha! Weak fools!

*He unloads a couple more shots on the desk in front of me, melting through the metal.*
IC: You're not gonna make it outta here alive, Chiss, even if you kill me! I'll make sure of it!
*I roll out, and as I pass Jirna's body, take a thermal detonator from her. I keep rolling, back into safety behind a crate. He fires at me the whole time, but misses completely (He IS a boss and not a fighter, after all).
I take the thermal detonator, and cook it in my hand before throwing it over the crate in his general direction. The floor shakes as light floods the room. I feel a wave of heat pass me, and take a look. Nothing but a blackened scorch. I make my way to the door to check on Hothar and Ferath. As it opens, I see Hothar firing wildly from behind a crate, angry tears streaming down his face. I look and see Ferath dead on the ground, and 7 guards cowering at the other end of the hall as shots fly at them. I myself am enraged at all the death they've caused, and charge, pulling the trigger all the while. Hother follows, the guards running away as fast as they can. We chase them all the way to the hangar bay, picking them off one by one. Once they are dead, Hothar and I get back in the ship, and take flight.*
