Re: The Clone Wars Rages [Separatist] [IC]
"This one's claiming the gunner's seat," Roger volunteers. He's no stranger to heavier weapons, and if that turret could speak Binary, why, he'd surely be hearing his name chanted from afar by now.

Re: The Clone Wars Rages [Separatist] [IC]
There is a grinding, and then a clank as the ship stops shuddering for a moment.
Cargo modules aligned
At the end of the hallway there is a single airlock door. A light flashes above it, cycling from red, to orange, to green.
Then, the lock hisses open, revealing a ladder upwards.
As the group ascends gravity does a weird flip halfway through. Luckily there is a rest there, a metal cage that allows you to turn around, and orient yourself properly before continuing.
Stepping down the ladder, the group emerges into a cargo module that has been converted to a hangar bay. Long arms stretch from either side of roof, down to cradle the gunship in metal claws. The walls are obviously shipping containers, and where they join to the ceiling are all just quick release bolts and detonite strips.
Th eyes on the gunship light up, and the top hatch open directly below the ladder. A quick drop, and the group enters a small and cramped area with jump seats for troops. A narrow path leads up to the cockpit.

Re: The Clone Wars Rages [Separatist] [IC]
"Great, you can help me in the cockpit," Silas said to the black-cloaked girl, ducking into the corridor that lead there.
Reaching the controls, he unslung his rifle, taking a moment to swap out the loaded magazine for the anti-armor rounds he had picked up from the armory. If he ever got a chance to use Delialh, it would probably be to fire at harrying LAAT/cs, though even with the special ammo it would take a great deal of wishful thinking to down one. Then he hung it over the back of the pilot's chair before taking a seat and stepping through the checklist to take manual control from the craft's droid brain.I am not crazy! I prefer "reality impaired".

Re: The Clone Wars Rages [Separatist] [IC]
Barx clicks the comm.
Is this working? Yes? Good. Now then, we're starting our run. I'm going to set the course, and then join you. Give me a few moments
The comm clicks off and then a few minutes later, as promised, Barx drops through the top hatch. He presses a few buttons on his datapad and the hatch seals. Then the ship shudders, there is a sudden lurch to the right as the container rotates, and the comlink crackles again.
"Conquistador II request you explain reconfiguration. And our sensors are picking up an increased energy signa-"
Barx grins around then cuts the clone off.
"For the glory of the Confederacy of Independent Systems! The corrupt bureaucracy must give way to a new dawn!"
With that he switches the commlink off and presses a few buttons on the datapad.
There is a loud bang, the ship shudders, and on the screen in the cockpit they can see one of the covers blow off the ship. It falls down towards the clone camp below even as the turbolaser opens fire with a *whump whump whump*
The ship continues to shake as it enters atmo at speeds far faster than any ship should.
"Blast it! The orbiting ships scrambled their V-19 Torrents faster than I thought they would. I'll have the Conquistador draw as much fire as it can, but be ready to take evasive action"
Then the MAF disconnects from its hooks and drops down into freedom as the ship completes its pass. Two Torrents peel off to chase it from the cloud pursuing the freighter.
And they'll likely catch it before the ship can reach the cliffs. Down below two BARC speeders and a landspeeder race towards the cliffs as well.
Spoiler: oocFor reference the ship you're in looks something like this:

Re: The Clone Wars Rages [Separatist] [IC]
Prior to the Captain's declaration over the comms, Navax pulled out his datapad and connected it to the ship's droid brain. "Systems. Check." His robotic voice modulator chimed in, then his head whipped around at the arrival and he quickly unhooked the cord to strap himself into one of the seats. Unable to control the now heightened situation he simply gripped the handles of his seat and braced himself for the inevitable crash. "I. Hate. This. Part...."

Re: The Clone Wars Rages [Separatist] [IC]
"We gots incoming. Hang on," Silas warned via the craft's intercomm.
For his part, he called up the fire control and tried to get a lock on the leader of the incoming flight pair.
((Going to start using my free actions to Aim at the closer fighter. And open fire when it reaches range 3 starship scale.))I am not crazy! I prefer "reality impaired".

Re: The Clone Wars Rages [Separatist] [IC]
The datapad beeps, then flies out Navax's hands to bang against the other wall. As the MAF rolled and dodged, trying to get onto course the datapad flew back and clipped the Ubese on the side of the head as it flew through the air once more.
Then the Torrents are in range and the first blasts fly past the ship.
