After that messy business with B'sye Achtere and all that, Alcmedon
decided that he and his new-found chums needed a little R&R.
So, he took them to a golf tournament which his friend, Carue Dryf,
was in. There our heroes were introduced to Carue and his partner,
Vitri Tenkin, who is a story unto himself.
Carue, being the lucky bastard that he... was, won the tournament,
and five thousand credits. His carefree attitude while playing upset
the silver medalist, however, who attacked the group on their way
to a bar. They defeated him handily, and laughing, continued to
said bar. There Carue was approached by an associate who also happened
to be a Rebel operative, who offered Carue, and his friends, a job
acquiring a list of Imperial assassins. They accepted, and were
told that the list was stored in the computer systems of Northstar,
Inc. Alcmedon decided not to go, mostly because, at the moment,
he was a gamemaster character, and that gets kinda messy.
Our heroes, then, made their way to this establishment, which was
closed, night being the time they chose to attempt their break-in.
They reconnoitered the building, utilizing Tset Nal's unique ability
to not be seen. One of them, Torykh, even went so far as to go up
onto the roof. Based on their information about the building, they
quickly formed a plan, which was this: Roybis, whom no-one trusted
to do anything really important, was to distract the guard by asking
him directions to the nearest yarn shop or something. Torykh was
to try to go in by a roof entrance. The other four, that is, Carue,
Vitri, Tset, and El'Li, went around to the back, cleverly evading
cameras and the security on the windows, and broke into an office
where they thought they would find the info they were looking for.
Carue sat down and proceeded to slack, and that's when it all began.
El'Li and Tset stood by, watching the master at work, and Vitri
stood outside the window, watching for trouble. Carue could not
find anything, and so El'Li started insisting that he be given his
turn. Eventually, after Carue denied him, he threw Carue out of
the chair. Carue pulled out his golf club and took a swing at El'Li.
Tset, hoping to stop any violence before it started, grabbed Carue.
Vitri came in the window, grabbed Tset and stunned her with his
Droid Stun Extension©. Torykh, meanwhile, was crawling through
the air vents, and Roybis was having a nice discussion with the
guards about yarn and such. Tset decided it was all a little too
crazy, and left, searching for that yarn shop. Carue sat down at
the computer again, with Vitri guarding his back. El'Li once more
threw Carue from the chair, so Carue decided it was time to leave
and started for the window, while Vitri took a warning shot at El'Li.
El'Li, feeling provoked, drew his vibro-axe and proceeded to make
as large a hole as he could in Vitri's armor, and his insides, too.
The droid went down, sparking. Carue, enraged at the death of his
friend, went after El'Li, who then hacked the hacker -- with his
axe. At this point, Torykh came down from the vent, saw what was
going on, and suggested to El'Li that he run far, far away. Which
he did.
