Star Wars D20 Revised Session 2

I awoke early in the morning due to a sprinkler malfunction.  Then a voice over the intercom announces that they were getting the kinks out of the sprinkler system yet and that the sprinklers would be turned off soon.  After two hours of sprinklers, they finally were turned off, but then the intercom came alive again and said breakfast was being served in the common room.  I chose to go and get breakfast.  During breakfast it was announced that the Jedi would train and that the others would be in a briefing.  After breakfast, me and my master trained in one of the training rooms.  We broke for lunch.   Before I entered the common room for lunch, I was given a tablet with Fra'll's picture on it and I noticed him in the common room.  I approached him and introduced myself.  We then gathered our lunch in line and noticed my master chuckling and reading from a tablet before he went and talked to the same woman that I noticed earlier talking with recruits.  I think her name is Twilight.  When Fra'll and I left the common room, we returned our tablets/datapads and were given our first assignment.

Our first assignment was to go and get the ex-governor of Coruscant and bring him here to the Jedi Temple.  They told us a transport was waiting to take us to the governor's house.  We went outside the temple and found a taxi waiting.  Inside the taxi was a Wookie.  I asked him if I could help him and he replied in Shyriiwook that he was to be our transport and that it was his first time driving a taxi.  I got in and buckled myself in.  I suggested to Fra'll that he do the same.   We almost died a couple times on the way there.  Once, the Wookie merged into the wrong lane and a bus transport almost hit us.  The bus swerved at the last instant and the Wookie cursed him for going the wrong way.  The second time, he took a wrong turn and we ended up going through a building.  Fra'll threw up on me.  We ended our Wookie experience by exiting the taxi in front of one of the massive Starports.  The Wookie told us that we needed to go through the spaceport to get to the governor's abode.  I asked him for his frequency so I could contact him for our ride back after we completed our mission and he gave me his frequency to use with the comlink.  Fra'll took off in excitement, but was soon deterred by the security forces standing at the check-in.  We showed our IDs and were allowed to pass.  A little while later, I thought I noticed something following us, but I paid it no mind.  A short distance afterwords, I was hit with some kind of box from behind.  Fra'll got excited and I turned and saw a lightsaber user who seemed to be dark-sided in nature.  He was about twenty feet behind us.  Fra'll pulled his ion cannon and started firing while I pulled my lightsaber and went to meet him in melee.  Security droids were on their way.  He died pretty fast after I hit him with my lightsaber twice and Fra'll hit him once with his ion rifle; he did heal once.  He had a datapad and a lightsaber.  I used the comlink and informed my master to what had just transpired.  We had time to look at the tablet before my master arrived and noticed pictures of us getting out of the Wookie taxi about five minutes ago.  We dug a little further and noticed a lot of pictures of us before along with other pictures of almost everyone who was at the Jedi Temple along with some others.  It seemed that they were trying to use us to get to my master.

My master arrived along with a mysterious figure in white robes who had a voice equalizer so we couldn't tell if it was female or male from appearance or voice.  The white-robed figure told my master that we should continue on our mission.  So that is what we did.

We continued on to the governor's house, but when we arrived outside the spaceport we notice two turrets firing at anything that came close overhead.  Looked like some kind of scare tactic that the governor was trying to use in order to secure the governance of Coruscant again.  The path we chose had been setup strategically so that there was cover on either side of the walkway.  We were almost there when we were fired upon by guards in the two towers attached to the governor's house.  I noticed the front gate opening and decided to make a run for it.  By the time Fra'll and I arrived near the gate, we were under heavy fire from the two towers and the four guards who had come out of the gate.  We dispatched one quite quickly and we took cover behind the crates in front of us to heal.  While doing this, Fra'll noticed one of the crates said Danger: Explosives on it.  He opened the crate and found a fragmentation grenade.  He threw it at the other guards and we heard the tower guards talking and wondering if they had emptied the other crates.  They hadn't.  So the one explosion escalated into a larger explosion and when we looked again the gate was destroyed, the towers empty and a clear path through the gate was in front of us.  Apparently the crates that the gate guards were crouched behind weren't empty either.  We made our way forward and saw three of the guards limping into the house via the front door.  I notice some large windows and said we should go in through them.  Fra'll said that a person this paranoid would have them rigged so they wouldn't be safe.  A moment later, while I was contemplating this, Fra'll ran head first into the front door.  Not only did it give way, but unknown to us was that two of the guards from before were stationed inside and fired their blaster rifles at the door at the same time.  However, Fra'll hit the door with such force that it came off the hinges and he slid on it inside.  I drew my lightsaber and confronted the guards in melee.  I swung and missed and swung and missed.  He fired at me, but I got a swing in before he could pull the trigger and he was defeated.  The other guard stepped back from me and fired.  Fra'll then fired at him and I closed and swung my lightsaber.  He was also defeated.  Fra'll then searched the house while I healed my wounds.  I had taken quite a bit of damage.  Fra'll found a secret passage way, but it was rigged with a thermal detonator.  We searched the rest of the house.  We found nobody, but I found a handheld crate large enough to store weapons.  I placed the four blaster pistols, four blaster rifles and the seven power paks we found into the crate.  We had found eight power paks, but Fra'll grabbed one before we entered the house.  They windows were rigged with frag grenades, one on either side.  Fra'll had disabled one of them and he now hung two frag grenades from his belt with pride.  I used the comlink and told my master that we had found a secret passage and that it was trapped with a thermal detonator.  He said that they would send somebody.  After the person arrived, another person in white robes or the same person in white robes, we do not know, they disarmed the trap and the other trapped window.  Fra'll made a complaint about how the frag grenades and the thermal detonator were his.  The person in the white robes gave him a cred stick with 3000 credits and kept the grenades and the detonator.  We went back to the Jedi Temple with him and were told that until the governor was found, we were to wait on a ship in space.  Grab what you need and go, your transport is waiting in the garage under the Archive.  I gave Fra'll one of the blaster rifles and sold the rest of them and the four blaster pistols.  I received 2500 credits and transferred them to my cred stick.  We left on our transport.

We arrived on a starship in the orbit of Coruscant.  It was either a Corellian Corvette or a Nebulon-B Escort Frigate (not sure since the GM said corvette, but pointed to the picture of the escort frigate).  It is captained by a Twi'lek female.  We were on board for three days before we were told that the location of the governor was found.  Apparently, he is on Toydaria in Hutt space.  We set our hyperspace coordinates and we estimated that it would be a five day trip.  However, day 5 came and went along with day 6 and day 7.  We finally exited hyperspace since the coordinates were locked into the navi-computer on the seventh day.  We talked to the captain and apparently, the ship's navigation officer is missing.  She asked us to find him.  She described him as a Kel Dor and that his name is Torin Dol.  Fra'll and I went to visit his quarters and we unlocked his door after we received no answer from knocking.  The room was in disarray and it looked as if someone had packed a bag hastily.  Contacted the captain via the ship's intercom and told her what we had discovered.  She told us to head for the shuttle bay and keep looking.  We tracked him down near the shuttle bay, but he started to run.  We caught up with him and restrained him as best we could.  I then contacted the captain on my comlink and told her that we had found him.  Some security officers came and escorted Torin to the bridge.  The bag he had packed was emptied and we found a bomb inside.  We asked him to disable the bomb.  He said he couldn't with the binder restraints on.  We released him from the binders and he went in his pocket and pulled a remote, pointed it at the bomb and used the remote.  I thought he had disabled the bomb when I put him back into the binders, but then I heard the bomb beeping again.  Fra'll reached into Torin's pocket and pulled out the remote and a data disk.  I asked him why and he replied that he would rather die.  Quite dramatic.  The captain and the crew on the bridge disabled the bomb with a couple to seconds to spare, about 33 of them.  Torin was escorted to the Brigg and was told that we were in Wild Space and on our way back towards Toydaria.   We were told that the data disk Fra'll had recovered had a navi-computer virus and details on a meeting.

This is where we left off and hopefully will be back in one week.  I have a job interview on Friday and if I get this job, it will require 80% travel.  So until then, safe gaming and have fun.
