<b>RE: Star Wars: Symphony of Annihilation [Rp thread] (Accepting)</b><br/><br/>Flora's breath hissed between her teeth as the oddly-shaped cylinder hummed and sprang to life.  "A lightsaber?!"  Its handle was ridiculously oversized compared to the small and compact weapons she'd heard of but with that blade it as difficult to say that the weapon could really be anything else.  "Where in Kessel did you get that thing?"  She ducked as a backswing came dangerously close, though not close enough to have struck her, "watch it!"<br/><br/>She took two steps back, giving distance before looking at the bolts coming towards them.  On one hand, she was trusting her life to a lunatic Jedi right now and if a single bolt snuck past that defence she was going to be dead in fairly short order.  On the other hand, it was a good ten meters to the nearest piece of solid cover, and while the hail of blaster bolts was slackening as 'civilians' returned fire with a hodgepodge of personal blasters.  With a grimace Flora unslung her own powered up 'Hunter' carbine and flicked the fire selector to full auto.  If this idiot went down, she could duck, roll, and unload her power cell on any enemies to keep their heads down while she sprinted for cover.<br/><br/>As it was, she wasn't stupid enough to try firing past the blur of that purple blade from the other side.<br/><br/>Stupid this Jedi might have been, but he was effective at least...  Flora grimaced, there had to be more to this attack than his assessment of it.  You didn't just attack a space station to kill everyone aboard, not in this sector of space where everyone and their mothers had their own blasters and fightercraft parked in their backyard.  If they'd wanted to kill everyone they should have just snuck in and planted a bomb on the station's core or something, slap a thermal detonator onto the reactor and let it tear itself apart.  Invading on foot with guns like this was just idiotic unless...<br/><br/>Unless they either could spare the numbers and didn't particularly care...<br/><br/>Or this was a distraction...<br/><br/>Flora's eyes narrowed.  "Any chance we can hurry this up a little?  If these people are trying to wipe out the station they either have a lot more blasters somewhere or they're rigging something up to detonate this entire place!  Either way I don't want to be here much longer!"
