Early</span></strong></div></div><strong>Name</strong>: Braxton Early<br/><strong>Occupation:</strong>Captain<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The Line, cargo bay, Shadow<br/><strong>Time:</strong>3rd of september, 2505, shortly after nightfall<br/><strong>With:</strong>Cookie<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/>The ‘boarding action’ was over as quickly as it had started. After the two brave but clumsy Levetts had been dealt with, none of their friend dared to make another attempt. Braxton let out a sigh of relief and retook his position at the side of the door. For now, they were holding their position well, but it would only be a matter of time before someone wised up and threw a grenade up the ramp or found something bigger than a peashooter to make another hole in The Line.<br/><br/>Suddenly, the ground<em>shifted</em>. The Line was taking off, and she was leaning dangerously to starboard. The roaring noise of the engines that came in through the open cargo bay door was off as well: It sounded like one engine redlining at 150 percent of safe thrust… and the other just idling along.<br/><br/><strong>”Hold on to something!”</strong>Braxton shouted at Cookie over the noise of the engines as The Line became airborne. Whatever was wrong with his ship, this was going to be a bumpy ride.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Keri piloting<br/>Roll Result: Keri rolled: 5d10<br/>First Target Number: 6<br/>Second Target Number: 10<br/>Comment: Keri Dexterity+Pilot 8. +1 easy maneuver. -1 Under fire. -2 On one engine. -1 cargo not secure Final 5<br/>Result: 8, 9, 9, 5, 2, <br/>For: 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, <br/>Total: 3<br/><br/>Result: A safe flight, considering the circumstances.<br/></div></div><br/>Sue had removed the straps from the cargo to unload and several of the one-ton rolls of sheet steel came tumbling lose. As Keri frantically tried to adjust for the shifting trim, they rolled around the cargo hold like a pinball machine on multi-ball special and Braxton and Cookie were stuck right in the middle of the havoc.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Braxton Dodge<br/>Roll Result: Braxton rolled: 4d10<br/>First Target Number: 6<br/>Second Target Number: 10<br/>Comment: Braxton Dex+Dodge 6 -2 shifting ground +1 spacer compensates one -1wounded final 4<br/>Result: 5, 5, 6, 5, <br/>For: 1, 0, 0, 0, <br/>Total: 1<br/>Result: Braxton avoids the worst and is only bruised for 5 damage.<br/><br/>Cookie Dodge<br/>Roll Result: Cookie rolled: 2d10<br/>First Target Number: 6<br/>Second Target Number: 10<br/>Comment: Cookie Dex+Dodge 4 -2 shifting ground final 2<br/>Result: 6, 2,<br/>For: 1, 0,<br/>Total: 1<br/>Result: Cookie avoids the worst and is only bruised for 5 damage.<br/></div></div><br/>Braxton was slammed against a wall by one of the steel rolls but a pair of support struts on his right and left caught the worst of it and, when the ship tilted to the other side and the thing rolled the other way, Braxton could escape from the death trap the cargo hold had become.<br/><br/><strong>”Zhe Zhen Shi Ge Kuai Le De Jing Zhang!“*</strong>Braxton cursed and looked down at himself. Blood was running down his boot where he had been shot and he felt bruised all over from being nearly crushed by a steel roll. At least they were still flying. Barely.<br/><br/><br/>*This really is a happy holiday.<br/>
