“We need a mechanic! An engineer! Something!” Han yelled, sticking his head out of the cockpit.
“Uh, is it just me or is it starting to get a lot warmer in here?” Ygdras asked as the gunship shook as it began reentry. He tries his best to shoot the fighters down but his aim was being thrown off by the turbulence of reentry. (@EmperorDuckie)
OOC: Well, let’s hope a crash landing still counts as a landing. Either way, (goes into a Jamaican(?) accent) it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!
You’re an absolutely amazing nerd if you get that reference.
Kaiden managed to shoot down the fighter with the damaged engine before hearing all of the commotion in the back. “If you aren’t doing anything, then do what Kay said and try to focus on the force to make our landing a little smoother!” He called before spinning back around to try and focus down another fighter.
“Dude! We will crush!”
“We don’t have any other-” Kaiden’s sentence was interrupted as a laser bolt whizzed by the ship, narrowly missing. “-options right now!” He shouted back, finishing the sentence.
Bower loojed up at Han from the cockpit above him. Han loojed back at him concerned, before closing his eyes and raising his hands, trying to use the Force to slow the shuttle down.
Kay yelped as a laser sizzled by. She stuck out her hand and continued using the force.
OOC: sorry guys I’m helping at a day camp at my church this week from 7:15 to 1:30 every day
IC: “Focus everyone we can do this!”

OOC: which time zone are you referring to?
IC: Ygdras tries to help slow down the gunship while trying to shoot down the ARC-170s.
OOC EST
IC: “don’t worry about the ships they’ll pull off when we crash,”
Kaiden heard this and just focussed on slowing down the ship.
“Wanna bet?” Ygdras asked, implying that there was the possibility the fighters would actually follow them and try to pick them off after they make planetfall.
OOC: Understood.
“We’re already betting our lives on it. If they follow protocol we’ll be fine!”
“By the way, I am holding you personally responsible for this crash landing.” Ygdras said as his fear started taking hold.
The flames started to engulf his turret pod and, while he had a higher pain tolerance than most, it was starting to get uncomfortably hot in there.
Ygdras might be able to feel something through the force, like someone was trying to comfort him, like they were trying to tell him to calm down and focus. He may hear the faintest sound of Kaidens voice speaking. “It’s ok. You’ll all make it out.” Then the feeling would vanish suddenly as another bolt whizzed by the ship.
That managed to pull Ygdras out of his fear enough to let it pass through him, to focus it and refine it. No longer was it total fear, but now it was drive; an instinct to protect his life and the lives of others.
He felt the Force flowing through him like waves in the sea caught in torrential winds he tries to let these ‘waves’ pass through him and churn the ‘sea’ to slow down the gunship, which now felt so small in comparison to the power of the Force, as it plummeted towards Illum’s frozen tundras.
“I am a Jedi, I am one with the Force and the Force is with me.” He muttered.
OOC: Too much?

The ship plummets right in front of the cave and parts go everywhere. To the clone pilots, it looks to have been destroyed. They report back to the Venator so a team can confirm the deaths.
OOC: @ghid you can introduce de boye now
IC: Chimm got up, panicked, and looked for his friends. He first knocked on the pod of Ygdras’ turret. “Ygdras! Are you ok in there?”

A red hand pressed against the glass and a web of cracks spread from a larger one before bursting, revealing a bruised and…smiling red Zabrak, “Could be worse.” He groaned as he got out, dragging his pack.
He was tired, bruised and some minor bleeding coming from his head (he hit his head pretty good when they hit the ground) but he was still kicking. “Let the record show you wanted to use a low altitude gunship to enter a planet’s atmosphere.” He said with a smile as he wrapped his cloak around himself to shield his body from the bone chilling winds of the planet.
OOC: he’s gonna have a painful headache in the morning.
IC: “You gonna check the others?” He asked.
“Would you rather have been cramped in a starfighter?” Chimm laughed. At least humor was still a thing.
“Would’ve needed your help to lift the wreckage”
“Fair enough.” Ygdras groaned as he stood up, giving a pained smile at the Togruta’s joke.
He tries lifting some of the debris, “Okay,” he groaned, “everyone who’s not dead or unconscious, sound off.”
