IC-Ep 3-Evacuation(Everyone else)

[ImpInTraining]

Lucius allowed the entrance of the newcomers to distract everyone long enough so that he could slip around behind one of the other ships and look for a nice, shady place to stow away. Meanwhile, he got to thinking ... "They probably wouldn't have left before the one we talked to arrived, so we could count on them getting here in about as much time that has already elapsed from when he - it took off, give or take a minute or two." There wasn't much time left to find an adequate hiding place.

JulietteChecked the Demeters electrical system and found it ok, then she started with the mechanical systems.

[Mr. Handy]

Lucius saw that all of the spaceships had airlocks similar to, though smaller than, the ones they had passed through in the base. The airlocks had more of those special plates that you had to put your hand on in order to get it to open.

Juliette finished inspecting the Demeter. All of her systems checked out, and she was ready for action.

[Lynx]

Juliette exited the Demeter, systems ready, went over to the Charon and opened the gate to the cargobay. On the suits com she opened up so she could talk to all in the dockingbay. " All personell in the dockingbay, I will now move the Demeter into the Charon. You must stay clear as I move her." She then got back into the Demeter, and made ready for lift off, wondering if she could see the mii-goo on the sensor of the ship, and tried it out.

[ImpInTraining]

Lucius stepped away from whatever he was looking at and asked wide-eyed with concern, "What's a Demeter?"

[Mr. Handy]

"That is the Demeter," explained Alison, pointing at the small craft that Juliette had boarded. "The ship was named after a figure from Greek mythology."

OOC,[b]Lucius[/b], you may roll Occult. So may anyone else present who does not already get the reference.

Juliette Desjardins,[b]Juliette[/b] powered up the [i]Demeter[/i]. While the engines started to warm up, she checked the scanners. There was a cluster of six contacts approaching from the direction of the rock formation. At their current rate of speed, they would arrive in a minute or so.

Elizabeth walks over towards Story, taking care to avoid what the Demeter is doing.

OOC,[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3397222/]Rolling Occult (stat 5%) re Demeter reference. (1d100=100)[/url]

[and the bad rolling returns!]

[jaysun81]

Story notices Elizabeth coming his way and waves. "Elizabeth! Just in time for the show." Smiles.

[yockenthwaite]

Elizabeth smiles at Story's welcome and goes to stand beside him. "I didn't want to miss this," she says. "So the Mi-Go are due to return shortly?"

[ImpInTraining]

Occult - fails,[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3397615/]Occult (15%) (1d100=29)[/url]

Lucius moved to hide behind one of the other shuttles that wasn't looking all dangerous.

[Mr. Handy]

The ship that the base crew had called Charon's Ferry was very huge. The only other vessel was about three times the size of the Demeter, but still small compared to the big one. It was behind this one that Lucius took cover.

OOC,You may all roll Spot Hidden. Those of you who have not yet rolled Occult may still do so.

[Lynx]

Juliette spoke over the intercom: "The Demeters system registers 6 objects incoming, ETA a minute or so! I hope everyone has cleared the presence of the Demeter, as I am taking her up." She fired up the engines and lifted the small scoutship elegantly up from the ground. She took the ship as far up the dome as she could.

mr Handy on spacecrafts present in the hanger,he takes cover behind the Persephone ?

[Thorn]

(Could you please roll for me?)

Brook also heads over to Story and Elisabeth, looking around the dome.

[Mr. Handy]

Brook had never heard of Demeter, and she was far too distracted to notice anything.

"Attention all personnel," came the voice of Colonel Indira Patel over the public address system. "General Pryce has been relieved of command due to being mentally unfit for duty. I am now in charge of Styx Base. The order to evacuate is hereby rescinded. Lt. Rose, you are to seal the docking bay dome immediately and repressurize the bay! Everyone be prepared for an imminent alien attack!"

Juliette Desjardins,Yes, it's the [i]Persephone[/i]. No Pilot roll was needed to take off, but I'll apply that roll when you make your first risky maneuver or, if you don't make one, when you land.

OOC,Oops, sorry, [b]Brook[/b]! :oops: I rolled terribly.

[Lynx]

mr. handy,thought the roll was needed because in my silly head the dome was down

Juliette quickly open a channel to command.

"Colonel Patel, mam. I have the Demeter up, and armed. I am higher than the dome, what should I do? Land or Engage?"

She at the same time checked the visuals to see if she could see colonel Bryce!

[yockenthwaite]

"Gosh!" says Elizabeth, "I did voice concerns about the General to some of the other officers, but didn't expect this to happen."

[Mr. Handy]

"Land, Captain," replied Colonel Patel. "We need to shut the dome, and we don't want you trapped outside. We also need to let the Mi-Go make the first move here, just in case they're not hostile, but we have to take precautions."

OOC,[b]Juliette[/b], don't forget that you may roll Spot Hidden as well.
