Star Wars Roleplay...Insidious Lies - Page 9

OOC: Don't wish for that!!! I doubt I could handle that many!

lol

Keal finds that Ferraldy Tower (if that's what he's asking about) was a purely residential tower, and as such, only employed guards, technicians, and maintenance workers, with many of the other work being performed by droids.

The guards outside of Kralla T'on's apartment (Kralla T'on is the Sullustan that is your witness, Keal), ask for your security clearance.

Bakilas is greeted well indeed by the man, who seems to be a bit of a drunkard, but eyed suspiciously by his friends. He continues, blaming most of the problems of the lower level on the government, specifically on the Bothans, who "can't just accept that something doesn't belong to them." According to him, the lower levels of Coruscant are far closer to siding with the Hutts than siding with the Bothans, and the opinion of the locals of the Bothans just keeps sinking, especially after the incident at Ferraldy Tower. Word on the street is that the building's security was such that the only paramilitary force that could have broken it was the Bothans, or the Republic. Some thought the Republic did it, but most thought it was the Bothans.

Eciel notes a glimmer of hope, both in the Twi'lek's eyes and in the subtle currents of the Force emanating off of him. He shakes his head at the realization he had used his power subconsciously, without even thinking about it. That wasn't the problem for now, though. There were other things in play.

Yulo caves, finally, and tells Eciel his story, telling him of his beautiful family and happy life. Then, one evening, in going out to the speeder pad for some alone time, after having a bit of an argument with his wife over the children, saw a brilliant blue light from below. The building rocked, and began to tilt noticably. Suddenly, Yulo's feet had felt lighter, and he had known the building was going downward, toward the explosion. In disbelief, he had been paralyzed, and soon, he was falling with the rest of the tower. Only through luck did he manage to achieve his airspeeder. By the time its engines were started, he was inside the cloud of debris, with smoke and ferrocrete dust engulfing his vision. Grasping the controls in shock, he hit the repulsorlifts, angling upward, hoping that he wouldn't hit anything on the way up. Only after the initial shock of the collapse had passed and he was above the debris-cloud did he realize the terrible price he had paid.

At first he had no idea what to say back to Yulo, so he simply didn't speak for a long moment. Something in the aliens story brought back old memories Eceil would have rather left dead and forgotten. After giving a noticeable sigh Eceil walks over to the door and seals it shut before kicking Yulo’s weapon back over to his feet.
“Your wounds gona be fine. Doesn’t look like I hit anything important- and don’t worry about mine, I’ll be okay.”
Eceil tips the couch over to its proper side and slinks down into it with a sigh. The adrenaline had thinned out of his veins now and the pain from the Twi’lek’s lucky gun shot was starting to work its way through his aching body. Ignoring the wound as best as he can, Eceil continues calmly.
“We live in a city with a thousand buildings like the Ferradly Tower. It’s not every day you see one of them blow up either. They’ve fed me this story about how this was just a terrorist attack, some anarchists bent on raising hell, but I don’t know if I buy it. I got my own ideas about what happened, maybe you can help me weed them out. You were living pretty high up in the building, you must have seen things. Ever notice anything in the tower that seemed out of place? Maybe an odd group of residence or some off limits section of building?”

Keal acts as if he is checking his pockets and says,"Oops, I must have left it in the bathroom," and turns the corner into the elevator. He walks into a bathroom and waits for a guard to come in. He sneaks up behind him and grabs him in a headlock, and with the right pressure and timing he lets go and the guard is knocked out clean on the floor. He searches the man for a clearence card, takes it and goes back to the door. "Here it is."

"Hey, this is my partners ID!!! What did you do with him?" the guard says as he pulls his blaster, aiming it at your character from two meters away. He demands you put your hands on your head.

shadowhound · 04-03-2005, 06:09 PM

After shouting the man another drink Bakilas stands up and leaves the cantina, he waits across the street for Terassk to complete his inquiries.

Keal · 04-03-2005, 06:54 PM

"Alright..."Keal says as he waits for the guard to aproach him...

Ilander · 04-03-2005, 07:29 PM

The guard does not approach Keal. After a moment, he moves the blaster to a one-handed grip, still aimed at your chest, and thumbs his comlink. He calls for backup.

Yulo tells Eciel of a small number of rooms which were off limits to the people living in Ferraldy Tower. These rooms were the rooms for building security, and the rooms for the building's emergency reactor, used infrequently as a power source.

Joneth finally arrives at the Senate, and is promptly asked for his identification. He presents the security clearance he was given at the base, and is ushered along, with Barrick trailing behind him.

OOC: I'm waiting on TheGrandSlayer to find out what Terrask is doing at the cantina...but I'll have you an update before long, Shadowhound!

Keal · 04-03-2005, 07:37 PM

"I can't let this guy call backup," Keal thinks to himself. He quickly tries to kick the gun out of the guard's hand and then punch him across the face. Next he tries to reach for the walkie talkie and say, "Never mind, it wasn't that important."

Sorry chaps, hurt my tail bone and couldnt sit at the desk chair for a while.

Terassk overhears bits and pieces of information, most of it involving prejudice, or so he thought, towards Bothans. Singling out one particular man who said it, Terassk sits near him (or her), "Hey, just arrived here, lemme buy you a drink, (Sorry for stealing that idea Shadow! It WORKS!) heard about the tower getting blasted, bad stuff there, what have you heard about it?"

Ilander · 04-03-2005, 08:12 PM

Keal gets shot, and takes 14 points of damage, and the guard radios for backup.

Terrask is told by the patron that it was probably a reactor-overload. It seems that this person was once an engineer, and he mentions that the building was one of the few in the area to have a full-scale reactor for backup power. Oddly enough, it had made the news a few weeks prior for being one of the first towers to begin work on tower-specific shield projectors for the purpose of giving its residents even more assurance of their safety.

OOC: Good to have you back, TheGrandSlayer! Sorry 'bout the tail-bone...
