@CT__2323 He practically dove into the pilots chair and absolutely WRENCHED on the flight controls and put the ship into a steep climb. “Hope we don’t stall!”
@CT__2323 He crossed several wires, received a zap, and the ship hummed to life “AHA!” He scrambled out and ran to the cockpit “kid let’s go! Not waiting on you any longer!”
@CT__2323 It happened again, but less so. They must’ve known it was coming. Dorvan was in a maintenance hatch, well halfway. His legs were out and he was bent at the waist, effectively upside down “almost got it!”
@CT__2323 A bolt of energy courses through the hull of the shit, electrifying anything that may have been on the outside. Several screeches and howls were heard as the beasts fell away “that’s great kid! Hit it again in 90 seconds!”
@CT__2323 Thuds and scratches against the hull were heard as he tried to find the problem “hey kid! Hit the big cyan button! It’s got a lightning bolt on it!”
@CT__2323 “I DID MAINTENANCE. ONCE A WEEK I CHECK. I CHECKED SHALBLA YESTERDAY” he had been throwing things at the clone as he spoke “I TAKE CARE OF MY THINGS” he RIPPED his seatbelt off and stalked towards the engine bay “JUST SIT TIGHT. I GOT THIS.” A stream of curses in mando’a followed
@CT__2323 He strapped himself in, fired the engines and....heard a sputter as they died “ope” he tried again, it to the same result “hey, remember when I said we could escape? That might’ve been a lie”
@CT__2323 “No, dammit! This is the most fun I’ve had in over a decade!” He continued firing, laughing the entire time, allowing Clicks to push him to the ship “ok fine!” He said as he ran up the ramp and closed it, moving quickly to the cockpit
@CT__2323 He’d get to the ship soon enough, but in the meantime, despite their situation, Dorvan was absolutely LOVING using this weapon “kid! You gotta try this sometime! It’s amazing!”
@CT__2323 Dorvan was moving backwards, towards the ship, so fast that he was essentially falling, his feet barely keeping up with his momentum. For some reason, he started giggling “bummer no one else is here to see this! Can you imagine the highlight reel?!”
@CT__2323 He switched to his regular rifle and continued firing, also tossing several thermal detonators into the unseen mob then he ran. Flat out towards the ship. Hoping it was ready to go
@CT__2323 Night became day as Dorvan unleashed the night of the cannon “keep moving! I can’t keep this up forever” he fired in bursts, invisible creatures suddenly becoming visible as they were ripped apart “whole lot more than I thought!”
@CT__2323 His eyes switched between the closing radar blips, and the empty field in front of him. He switched between scanner types “they give off heat, go to thermal!” Why he didn’t think of it before, he didn’t know. He turned towards the threat and pulled the trigger. The sky lit up
@CT__2323 Several more blips popped up on his HUD “kid, stay close. I can see behind me, but I can’t shoot behind me.” His finger hovered over the trigger, as the sun went lower. “Fuck” was all he said as the blips suddenly moved towards them
@CT__2323 “Contact left. Three. See em on radar but that’s it” he moved at a quick walk, his gun sweeping back and forth, barrels spinning but not shooting. Something itched at the back of his head. Intuition?
@CT__2323 He nodded, feeling the same way “ok, 100 meters to the hangar. Straight shot. Once outside, I’ll signal the ship to prepare for take off. Stay behind me” he opened the door, realizing it was quickly getting dark. Because of course. He set a measured pace towards the ship
