Mouse Droids to the Rescue

by Aerena 'Relentless' Kolene

The team lets me know that they are heading to the south section of the ship due to teh sounds of fighting and that another Reaver Queen is operating there. I have Noki open a porthole in the area so we can see what is live. That would be four wookiee reavers. Why in the world would there be four - count them one, two, three, four - wookiee reavers. I ask Noki to split the focus and create two areas so both Zaye and I can fire. She manages to do that, but it is easy that it causes a strain. Both Zaye and I fire head shots to take out two of the wookies and they fall to the ground. I tell Noki that she can close that second one while we catch to see what happens. They fall to the ground and then with the sound of ionization and green flashed they stand back up!
 
Well, that was a waste of ammunition! I growl in frustration and turn to look at Zaye. "I have to get to them. This sniping is obviously not going to work." She nods in understanding. I tell Noki to start looking for the Reaver Queen competition and we see a shadowy figure that is female and holding one of the red suits under duress. Very obviously unhappy and being forced to do something that he disagrees with. I can't see Davish anywhere around, but I decide that this is where I need to go. I give Zaye a long look and then tell Noki to open a portal behind the humanoid. We step through and then she dodges back. I reach forward, grab her shoulder, spin her around, and punch her in the face. I am shocked that she is a Dathomirian Witch! Her head snaps back and she reacts by turning to the red suit and surrounds his head with a green glow - is that a skull?
 
I do a quick draw and double fire into her gut. She turns to me and the green glow surrounds her hand as she focuses on me to ensure that my day goes worse. I quickly holler for Danar and he steps out of shadows and uses his lightsaber to ventilate her. The red suit dude relaxes, but then tenses up when Davish turns to him and asks him what size is he? I tell him to answer and Davish sits down in his seat with the helmet on and begins to work on the kill switch problem. I leave him to it and I turn to check on the rest of the room. Vanya has three reavers in front of her and a trooper behind her. The trooper has something in his back that is obviously causing him pain, but he can't reach it to remove it. I yell at Vanya to let her know I am here and about to shoot at the one looking for a weapon to use on her. We coordinate attacks so that I can take out one while she distracts the remaining ones. I do a one in a million shot and take him out and he doesn't come back alive. At the same time the remaining three fall to the ground and stop moving. We turn to look at Neva Shadowscar and she just shrugs. I found a way around the jammer and put them into sleep mode. They can't be woken up either.
 
We thank her and then check with Davish. He hasn't been able to deactivate the kill switch yet, but is getting close. He suggests we move on to help Hicks and Danar while he finishes this little chore. We - Vanya, Neva, and I - head out to help and run in to a room with undead wookiee reavers in bad condition as they attempt to get to Danar who fire continously at the reavers. Neva says she will be back and I turn to the one on the left who is attacking a trooper to do a head shot while Vanya heads towards the one on the right. My shot goes a little wild and hits a station and red lights go off. The reaver drops to the ground and the lightening rolls over it and it starts to stand back up. The trooper is terrified, but then Neva is able to freeze the wookiee in place. She says she can't finish it because it has a droid brain and that is when Vanya turns to Danar. He steps forward, touches the wookiee, and then tells Neva she can release it.
 
Now that the situation is under control, I turn to the console that I shot and check to see what the problem is. It looks like I activated the killswitch. I reach out to Davish who tells me that he had it turned off and then it suddenly went active again. I confess that a blaster shot might have had something to do with it. There is nothing he can do from there, so I rip out a couple of wires and a mostly functioning keyboard and I quickly start rewiring so that I can stop the coolant leak and stop the hyperdrive overload. I then turn off the klaxons and the lights so I can reroute more coolant to the tanks to maintain the hyperdrive. Once that is done, I call out the mouse droids to begin system repairs. Then Vanya and Danar begin working with Neva to solve her problem and the ones of the troopers in the room.
