Daegin punches a few commands into his comms unit and after a few seconds of squelching and static a husky Teratode in mechanics coveralls pops up in the hologram. "What do you want, Daegin?"
"Mylark... I have a job for you. The Last Resort might be making a stop with you. I need you to delay whatever they are repairing, or refitting, just long enough for me to get there. Put out the word to your trustees. I am offering a reward if I am able to catch up to them." Mylark doesn't say anything in response, he just nods his head and then the hologram disappears.
Hopefully this plan works.

"Look alive, ladies and gents, act like you got some sense," Ry'quer says, beating on Darmak and Jaladra's personal hatches, jogging down the passageway to the cockpit. The proximity alarm was sounding, indicating they were coming out of hyperspace. Ry'Quer put on his comms headset and sat in the pilot's chair.

Guided by the force the sadly cushioned red chair with the narrow plasteel legs runs in a figure eight pattern out of phase with the ships well under stuffed guest pillow. Ry'quer insistent clomping and banging didn't break Jaladra's concentration. Darmak would want his time with the guns today. He never did like piloting or navigating. "Darmak I believe we've reached Helmar you might want to go help Ry'quer. Darmak?"

Stepping from the sonic shower Darmak walks over to Jaladra, taking her in his embrace. "Its nice to have someone else pilot the ship for once. Did he actually knock on my cabin door? He must think you are a big Ranai prude." casually running a finger along her cheek." I must admit, I thought that not to many years ago." looking at the spinning chair and pillow "You know its not very often a guy is trying to be sentimental, you should give him your full concentration." she quirks a smile as the pillow and chair clang to the floor.
a while later Jaladra sits at the secondary station and Darmak stands ready to run to the guns if this goes screwy. "How's it looking Ry'quer have there been any signs from the outer mark.

Ry'quer motioned for Darmak to shush. "No, I'm not delivering freight. I'm looking for an old friend of mine, named Numgar. You tell him Ry'quer Teff is in the system." He flipped off the comms unit and turned to Darmak. "I think I'll take you up on that weapons upgrade. These Teratodes act like they own the place... okay, well they do own this place. But still."

Ry'quer flips on the autopilot to follow the escort craft. "See, what'd I tell you? Numgar and me go way back. He's a big deal, you know. I just hope he's okay for a quick hug because I don't wanna stay here... unless he can hide us from Daegin."

As the Last Resort hits atmo a Spartan ImAM boosts up towards them. It quickly dispatches the bottom escort with it's axe and a loud clunk can be heard as the magnetic boots on the Spartan attach itself to the hull of the Last Resort. The Spartan isn't sporting normal Imperial colors, it is shaded a dark green with black claw marks painted across its chest. "Hello, Ry'Quer. I am here to help. I wouldn't want you to be late for tea."

"Mother of... How does everyone know me?!?!" He flips switches, turning off autopilot. He grabs the flight controls and pulls hard, doing a barrel roll.
Pilot: 6V6 => (1 +5 +6 +6 +2 | wild die: 5) = 25
"I don't know who that is!! I swear to the Power I have no idea who's flyin' that thing!"

"Last resort to Helmar Tower, Helmar escort we are under attack. unidentified combatant has engaged. believe one escort to be lost. conducting evasive maneuvers. Per civil defense code 115.3 declaring emergency and switching to gamma E-mit freq. all call signs are go."
Switching out frequency bands Jaladra looks nervously at Ry'quer, then to Darmak. With comms instituted Darmak looks at Ry'quer nervously then nods to Jaladra. "Echo Echo Echo, the pearl is in the swamp with the toad. request the oyster provide the shell." The encrypted broadcast sent Jaladra tells Darmak to man the guns.
"Ry'quer where are your walk suits I have to go remove a growth from your hull.

"Are you kidding? You just told everyone and their brother where we are! Oyster shell? What are you two crazies talking about? Come on, we get shot at all the time." He punches the thrusters forward. "If you want to die in deep space, they're by the airlock, otherwise sit tight and buckle in. I need someone to shoot while I fly."

Dinthel slams his axe into the Last Resort as it does a barrel roll to help hold on. As soon as the barrel roll is over he starts to move aft towards the engines. He lowers his plasma rifle to shoot the escort above them. If anyone takes the time to notice, the hits on the two escorts were just enough to take them out without killing the pilots.

"JUST FLY THE SHIP!" Jaladra yells as she sets the ships defensive guns. (agility=12 w6)(damage=13 w2)"We don't want the toads thinking we are the ones that destroyed their escort. And apparently everyone already knows we are here. Yes we get shot at but usually not when we come right out of hyperspace. The bounty hunter tracked us he must have signaled ahead. that means your ship is compromised."
Darmak puts his head set on, and moves it off his ear a little as Jaladra and Ry'quer are still yelling at each other. At least battle comms for the imperium were disciplined and quiet.

The shots from the Point Defense gun batter the mech, and its hold on the hull with the axe is broken as it stumbles back. It's still standing on the hull.

"My ship?? Right, it's my ship when things go wrong, but our ship when you need something. Fine! Get him off of MY ship!" Ry'quer started flipping the switches on the hyperdrive module, calculating the next jump to Drougayn. "So much for a pit stop. Just keep him busy and shoot him up some more until I can make the next jump to hyperspace, and then he won't be able to bother us."
Of course, something the size of a mech attached to the hull wouldn't survive the jump, and would most likely get flung off in the first stage.
