Anyone got a Firetruck?

[Aurora]

*gasp*
Aurora's breath wheezed against her chest, the pain of regaining consciousness taking its time to numb. Instinctively, Aurora tried to get up but soon realised she was lodged in between a rock and what used to be her Tie Silencer.
"Come on!" She spat out as her fingers desperately clasped around the metal that had bent around her waist and legs, shards of the wind screen dashed across the surfaces.
With a frustrated shout, Aurora let her body go limp, trying to regain her strength. She could barely think as her head pulsed, blood dripping across her eyes. Through the red she could see the fire roaring behind her, the smoke billowing up from this hole she'd crashed into. At least she could still see the sky....
Through the ringing sound of alarms and flames and painful grunts, Aurora called out.
"Is anyone there?"
But her words only reached a hoarse whisper, her dry throat gagging as some smoke blew in her direction, flecks of embers brushing against her skin. One ash touched the nape of her neck where her scar was and all too fast panic set in. This was all too familiar. Aurora felt her eyes stinging as she remembered the first time she'd been stuck in a cave, left to die. Only this time no one knew she was here...
"Oh god, please not again." She sobbed, still clinging onto the metal as her escape attempts drew more desperate, her hands becoming sore as they scraped against anything they could hold.
Her sobs soon turned into a frustrated screech, lashing out with the force.
Underneath her, Aurora felt the metal slowly slipping down, tugging her with it.
"No, no, no, no, no!"
As the ship dropped further down the cave, Aurora attempted to use the force again, though the confusion kept her from focusing and soon she was plummeting down with it.
After a few feet the ship hit the bottom, spurting a cloud of embers up into the sky.
The gap between the rock and the ship had expanded enough that Aurora could begin to climb out, uising every ounce of her strength.
Another burst of flames reached up, burning through Aurora's back and lighting up her scar.
She flung her head back with an agonising scream and when she re opened her eyes-for a split second she thought she saw a figure above.
"Bella?..."
Her grip slipped and within a moment she lay unconscious on the ship's wreckage.

 

[Tyris Hayes]

Tyris had long forgotten why in fact he was on this world, it was practically abandoned. After the collapse of the Dominion he started wandering. He and his AI partner looking for purpose beyond the merc work he used to do. He thought that maybe for awhile he had purpose, that he was finally making up for his lifetime of stupid mistakes and bad decisions. Maybe he would finally make ammends for his brothers death. Tyris wanted the right to return home, back to Zenith Prime. He wanted to walk those mountains once again, visit his brothers grave. He wanted to die worthy. Maybe that is why he wandered.

He would find no purpose here, all he found was silence. A beautiful silence, it gave him time to think, to ponder the meaning of reality. Sadly it was somewhat hard with an AI lodged in his brain, this was done against his will years ago. He hooked up to a computer and just like that him and his team were infected with AI's of varying personalities against their will, permanently lodged in the various cybernetics that their brains contained. There was no getting them out short of death.

The silence was broken, however, by spacecraft falling from the sky, landing in a nearby cave network. He could hear the crash from a mile away. Tyris was about to look the other way and ignore it, they probably died in the crash he thought. His AI Mira would have none of that.

"You are going to go check the wreckage aren't you?" She asked him, a little holographic figure flickering to life through his robotic eyes.

"I wasn't planning on it, but i have a feeling that if I don't you aren't gonna let me hear the end of it." He said in reply, sighing as he started gathering his gear.

Tyris remembered very clearly the day he was crippled. It was also the day his brother died. The memories were as vivid as the day they were formed. He just stared silently in the direction of the crash, snapping out of it after a few seconds. He was no longer crippled, the Dominion made him into something more than a mere man, he was now a good part machine as well. They ripped him of his former connection to the force, a connection he barely even knew he had until it was ripped away, but now he was something more, he was force dead. They called what he was many things, God Killer, Ghost, Spec Ops. The Dominion called them Dread Guard. They were the second generation of Dread Guard Mk. III's, mustered to keep the Dominion's feuding Jedi and Sith in check, now they were all scattered to the wind, some were mercenaries, some were criminals, others just fell off the grid.

Tyris finally rose from his position, putting on the old Dominion helmet. As he did, information flew across his vision, before the old dominion logo flickered to life, giving way to a hud system. There was not much information on this world, but he had altitude information, local terrain scans, and various other pieces of information. He then began the mile or so hike to the crash site, the smoke rising from it guiding his way.

"Mira what are the odds that a space rock falls from the sky and just kills me right now?" He said sarcastically.

"5x10-23 to one" She replied.

"Good to know."

[Rell Kapae]

Rell landed with a thunk. He got out of the pod and vomited all over a small pile of rocks. Clutching his stomach, he stood up. "Where the Feth am I?" He observed the deserted landscape and saw almost nothing around him. He noticed a spire of smoke behind a nearby hill. He entered the Pod again and looked for rations. He had enough for a week. He decided to read the novel he bought about force repulsion. He had already learned how to push, after learning how to read someone's intentions and heal minorly, and was now looking into more offensive force tactics. This took a lot of meditation and concentration, but exploring the force is the only thing that he had found meaning in for years. It was like an intimate relationship. He closed the pod and decided to sleep for the night. He slept into the early morning, then began to meditate. He decided he would do this for a while. He couldn't seem to focus though. not after the previous days events.

Rell had been hired by an agency to protect his client, a politician from Coruscant. He was a nice man, and not corrupt from what Rell could tell. Rell spent 3 months protecting him, spending time with him, even bonding with him. He was like the father Rell never had. Rell loved that old geezer. they were on his cruiser on the way to Coruscant when a bounty hunter's ship chased us off track. He shot them down. The Politicians name was Vanad. He shoved Rell into an escape pod and closed it. The last He saw of him was thought the glass of the pod. He saw a tear slide down his cheek. He was then blasted, and he fell over.

Rell decided to get out of the Pod. He sat on the ground and ate a brunch of bread and dried meat. He eventually went back to the pod, gathered his belongings needed to travel, and walked towards the smoke. He decided to stop halfway to the hill, which was farther than he thought, and have a light dinner. He then worked out, and then continued walking. He eventually made it to the hill, which was more like a small mountain. He started the walk around the hill. He eventually, in the late night hours, reached the wreckage of a ship.

 

[Aurora]

Aurora woke with a start, trying to get up but immediately slumping back down. The air around her was hot and thin. "At least the fire died down." She thought. If it had kept roaring up there'd be no oxygen left in this hole and she'd most certainly be dead.
Carefully she raised her head, gently moving her body. Her arms had no problem checking through her pockets despite being badly scratched up. Her lightsaber was still in the remains of her jacket and Aurora found a few sweets in her jeans.
"Well it's better than last time." She half laughed, resting her head back and looking up to the sky.
"This is your way of getting back at me isn't it?"
Her eyes stared up where she'd imagined Bella. Exactly where she'd been when Aurora was abandoned in a similar cave- her back burnt and Bella looking down at Aurora, eyes full of pity.
"You'll get me out, right?" She'd asked "...Right?"
Bella was silent, still bruised herself after the fight. Aurora had literally taken a grenade for her, that was the whole reason she had ended up falling. Because she was protecting her. Because she loved her. She remembered all too well the way Bella refused to even look at her, her voice barely reaching Aurora as she'd whispered "I'm sorry"... and then she left.
Now in this horrible repitition of getting burnt up and falling, Aurora gave a soft smile.
"I guess I was meant to die in that hole..."
After a moment, Aurora took a deep breath and used her arms to sit up, her right leg bending as she went to stand. Her left leg didn't move at all.
"Of course- Of bloody course!" She gave an angry cry and hit her left leg. It was numb.
She slumped back down and gazed up at the sky once more, her anger changing to laughter.
"Of course..."
She tried to relax a little, shutting her eyes as just like before she began meditating, letting the force calm herself as she reached out to anything nearby. Even now she wouldn't let death claim her so easily. Now it was just a waiting game.

The hike was rather uneventful, the occasional animal. The place really was as silent as ever. The terrain leading up to the crash site was extremely rugged, but that was of no issue for Tyris, he was well trained in long distance hiking. These mountains were of no problem to him. He hiked for hours with no rest, his cybernetic and biological augmentations sustaining him for long periods without needing rest or sustenance. A hike that would take a normal person a few days took Tyris a few hours. As much as he missed being... human, this was still a nice addition.

As the hours went by the smoke slowly started dying down, but he eventually found his way to the source. There was debris everywhere, but it was surrounding what looked to be a massive hole in the ground. Since the smoke was billowing out of that hole, he was guessing that was where the bulk of the wreckage was. He didn't even have to ask, he knew that he was going down there. If he didn't his AI partner would make his life hell for a very long time.

Tyris approached the edge of the deep pit, he could just barely make out the bottom. It was a single TIE, odd design, not one he personally had seen before, but he knew it was probably within his bets interests to help this person, TIEs had a certain connotation with the wider galaxy, you didn't use a TIE unless you were the kind of people who wanted galactic domination and did not care who had to die to get you there.

"Mira any life signs?" He said verbally. He didn't need to actually speak to the AI, it was lodged in his brain, but it felt more natural.

"A faint one at the bottom of the pit, im not even sure its sentient." She replied

"Worth a try." he said with a shrug.

He wasnt sure shouting loudly was going to help any, so he just got to work with descent gear. He grabbed a spike out of his pack, and dug it into the ground with his foot, he then tied climbing gear around it, hooking it up to his suit, it would be a slow climb down, but he would make it, eventually. As he neared the bottom he tried calling out.

"Anyone down here?" He shouted arouind the cave, finally putting his feet on the ground.

Rell walked to the wreckage. He picked through it for any signs of life. He could feel other living creatures in the area, two in fact. He decided to keep going through the wreckage. He found clothes, trinkets, many different things. They all belonged to a female, of human like build. Rell decided to reach out with the force to these creatures. He did not know if they would be able to tell that he was visiting them or not, but he decided to read their intentions. One, clearly a female, acknowledged his presence. He indicated that he was there in peace, and read that she was injured and in shock, as well as feeling a bit sorrowful. He then scanned the other life form. He felt a rotting presence along with this one which was a male. This male was force dead. Clearly incredibly intelligent, this one was feeling curious, and was obviously meaning no harm at the moment.

Rell decided to finish checking the ship for any useful scraps, then look for the other life forms in his area. He looked for a while, and eventually found a cave. He heard a man shout "Anyone down there?" Just as a precaution, Rell drew his DL-44 and approached the man slowly. The man eventually noticed Rell, and immediately pointed his weapon. "No! Stop! I Come in peace! I read that there were other life forms here, and I came to investigate! Don't shoot!

 

[Aurora]

Aurora opened her eyes. Someone was here.
With a chuckle she sat herself up again, finally giving her leg a proper look over as she heard voices.
"This is going to sound weird but do. either of you have some sticks?"
As she called out she gave her leg a prod, a sharp pain shooting up.
"Nevermind!" She answered herself, not wanting to even attempt touching it again.
Shuffling backwards, she rested her back on a wall and took out her lightsaber. A blood orange hue filled the shadowed area.
"I don't have any glow sticks or flares so this'll have to do to show where I am!" She gave another chuckle as she continued "Sorry if it scares you- I'm not going to hurt you...If it helps, I've also got 5 sweets. I'll share them with you!"
She popped one in her mouth and gave her usual cheeky smile.
"Make that 4!"

[Tyris Hayes]

Tyris was suprised to find not one, but two people down in the pit. One seemed to be more concerned with not getting shot than helping the person down there, and he wanted to make it very clear he didn't want to get shot. Tyris had no intention of shooting anybody who didn't deserve it, but those who did would not have a good day. In fact, they would probably be dead.

"Dont worry I wasn't planning on it." He said to the man.

However now another voice made itself known, a woman. From her location in the cave she was probably the crash victim. She ignited her lightsaber in order to provide her location. Force user. Great. Force users had a way of being really important, and seeing the ship model and the blade color, she probably ran with the First Order. They did not like losing their force users, chances are they would be swarming the place within a few days. He would have to get out before then.

He made his way towards the ignited blade, his eyes could see in low light conditions but the thought mattered he guessed. He quickly kneeled down next to her, she was not in good condition visually. He quickly grabbed a medkit from his pack, and started using the small medical scanner to figure out what to do. He had basic first aid training, every soldier did, but he was not sure he could fix injuries of such a magnitude.

The first thing that stood out was the leg, it was shattered to pieces. He would have to do something about the pain, she would need a full on Bacta Tank to fix those injuries however.

"Hold still this is gonna hurt a bit." He said, priming some painkillers in an autoinjector.

He then drove the needle into her leg, it would hurt like hell, but the pain would subside eventually, and overall she would probably feel better. He realized driving a needle into somebody holding a lightsaber, especially a red one, but he had to do something he guessed. Maybe she would kill him, that would be somewhat nice.

"You realize stabbing people with needles isn't much of a greeting right." Mira said to him, using his helmet speakers to broadcast it to the others, that way he wouldn't look weird.

"Oh yeah right, i'm Tyris Hayes, nice to meet you. That's MIra, my unwilling companion. I'm stuck with her for the rest of my life."

Rell had gotten himself into some pretty dangerous situations lately. He was always on edge after being nearly killed at least once a month. He wasn't going to take any chances. But then the man said he wouldn't shoot him. He was the most relieved he had been in ages. Now that he knew that death was extremely improbable, he decided he would attempt to go help the ailing woman. He approached after the man.

"Hold still this is gonna hurt a bit." the man said. He stuck a needle in her, but due to him not being hostile, Rell didn't react. He noticed the man was heavily armored, much like a soldier. Maybe the man was with the GA? Who knows, but Rell knew he still had a bounty because of previous actions, and wouldn't want to be captured by anyone at the moment. He heard an electric voice come from the man. Rell approached the two as they were having a conversation. "You're a cyborg, aren't you?"

(OOC: Sorry for lack of creativity guys! Got a lot of stuff going on at the moment!)

Feeling the needle inject into her leg, Aurora quickly switched her saber off. She didn't want to accidentally stab someone- especially if they were helping.
After a grunt, she felt the pain simmer down slightly, her grin returning.
"Usually we'd have dinner first but hey- I like people who are straight to the point." She tried to joke, though still rather sore so ended up grimacing instead "They're so gonna kill me." She muttered to herself "But maybe 'act of God' is covered on the insurance."
Again, she half laughed.
Her fingers began to trace the cut on her head, wiping dried blood from her eyes so she could get a proper look at the two. She first noticed [member="Tyris Hayes"]. The way the force... 'felt' around him... It was like he had no soul. Though not in the droid sense- no she could tell a droid from a mile off. This guy just seemed to have been drained. She then looked to [member="Rell Kapae"] and noted his almost emotionless expression as he approached and spoke. She had no problem reading him, as her instincts always did- using her own force to scratch the surface of his mind. She tried it again on the cyborg but all she could make out was static- an unnatural feel from her usual interactions with people. Maybe he wasn't a person?... Either way she kept her guard up with both of them, knowing that the soldier and humanoid weren't familiar with her either. Slowly she reached into her pocket and pulled out a few more sweets, gesturing them as an offering of some kind of thanks.
She kept quiet as they spoke, tucking her saber away.
As she did she spotted an object among the wreckage and lifted an arm, calling it over to her.
"Aha!" She gleefully cheered as the pistol flew over "Of course you're the only thing to not get damaged."
Aurora checked it over and found it was un scratched- it was some form of relief as she remembered the promise she'd made to return it to its owner- a rebel pilot. The thought made her smile as she tucked it away too.
Feeling a little more determined, she went to get up but stood too fast, her vision spinning as she was reminded of her wounds. She let out a curse as she fell down again.
