On the cliff's edge

by Aerena 'Relentless' Kolene

They actually shot at me - a Medusa. Well, former, but still a Medusa. I take aim at the one who fired at me with the arm bracer I had gotten as loot from our last encounter. It flies straight through the window and the one I am aiming at somehow manages to step aside at the last moment - maybe he has that force thingy. The shot ricochets a few times and then hits a different pirate and ionizes him until he collapses. I then see Bishop grab and start dragging him out the door. Next thing is to see a literal swarm of spider bots coming down from the roof of the building where all the action is taking place. I check to see if Spook can get into their network and re-direct them. She claims it is not a problem and next thing I see them reversing course and heading back to the roof. Whew! I really don't like spiders - way too many legs and that is saying something from all I have seen in the universe.....speaking of which, I wonder what Kunla is up to right now.......nope, focus girl. Work now - play later!

Mr. Sharpshooter is on the ground so I see if I can take him out of the action - permanently. I take careful aim and fire and now I can see the steel plates that he has as armor sewn into his vest. I then see him move super quick and I can see the barrel of some gun. Before I can take aim to stop him, Vanya does a twirl and grabs that gun hand and does an elbow into that same arm. He drops and appears to be actually unconscious this time. Since everything on this end of the street seems to be under control, I hop across roofs and get to the top of the inn so that I can see down that street. I see So' Zen walking down the street towards a cafe with a trandoshan in full hunting gear. Diplomats!

Spook then sends me some telemetry data for the town and I can see where the pirates are. Those that appear to be on guard on the dock are staying on guard - even with all the noise we have been making. What is even more interesting is that one of them has heavy weapons and has been in the perfect position to shoot So'Zen - and didn't!! That is a mistake he will probably live to regret. I have Spook share that information with the others so that we can maybe come up with a plan to handle the problems. Though I am beginning to believe that plan is just another four letter word with this group! I glance back to see what Vanya is up to and I see that Hicks has shot the same guy, but he is still going. He may look human, but I don't think he is! I take careful aim and try to hit him in the same spot and I do hit him, but it just seems to make him madder. I see the chance to fire again as he is so focused on Vanya. It hits him I am almost positive.

I turn to check on the other street and see the armored guy walking slowly and menacingly down the street. I can hear Spook in the background cursing about something or other, but I keep focusing on that guy to see if I can find a weakness. I see two -maybe. There is a red crystal in the center of his chest, but I have been around the Jedi long enough to know that red is not a good color to play with. I also see what MIGHT be two power pack on his belt. I glance back towards Vanya and Hicks to see if they need help, but it looks like it is mostly under control. I sight on one of the power packs and shoot. It sparks and it is obvious that I managed to take it out, but instead of diving for cover he moves to the center of the street and throws up a shield. I have a feeling this is not going to be pretty.

Spook makes happy noises - apparently she managed whatever she was trying to do. I am just hoping that she hasn't stolen the town's money. The guy in the street then points his sword at me and shoots a ball of lightning at me!! I gather my strength and jump across the street and
