Manny had already pulled out the ascension gun (with a flourish) and was just starting to aim it when he saw just how beat up the Chiss was. The new Chiss, that is. Smiling, he handed him the ascension gun. "Here you go, bud. Just point and shoot. It's easy!"

Without waiting to see if the Chiss could point and shoot, Manny quietly slipped out the window, slithering down the outside wall like a greased magician. Greased with egg, probably.

So excited was he to be free that he didn't notice the traps coming up...

Jyrvess rejoined the crew, but her first indication of mines was when Manny triggered one...shortly followed by her own triggering of a mine.

"dun dun DUN DUN dun dun DUN DUN dun dun DUN DUN Dooda DOO! Doooda DOO!"
Nara was absolutely scoring her own escape scene as she soared upwards with her ascension gun. If anything the bounty hunter had been a little cool on their newly recovered target. Could it be that Chiss were lame?

As she was beating a retreat from the base Nara remembered something. She would totally have laid mines here, big ones, ones that violated several rules of war. And sure enough...
"Hey guys, check it out, a bouncing Boopy! Older model, poorly maintained but still look at those lines, that's so hot."
Then she heard some explosions
"Guys?"

Letting the others go before her, Sholua returned to the wall and slipped through a hole with just normal grace rather than force boosted grace. She grimaced at Nara humming away to herself. She was distracted enough that she didn't notice the mines until the audible click of stepping on one, she immediately threw herself to the side into some rubble to hear the 'Wa, wa, wa, waaa, waaaaaaaaaaa' of a powerpack draining out and no detonation.

As she picked herself up brushing rubble off herself she heard the double detonations around her.

"Oh tschad."

Crowuashuso takes a shot to get up the hill, and is unfortunately unable to do so, his weakened state causing him to miss. Recovering from the blowback, he takes another shot and manage to hit this time, rising up to the exit!

You Raise Me Up! Shot 2 Strain Cost: 2eP+1eA+1eB+2eD 2 successes

Crowuashuso manages to (slowly) make his way thru, doing what he can to keep pace. The Gonks were none the wiser about the event in question, with you all narrowly avoiding detection. However, he could not avoid detection of the mine as well, setting it off. He takes the hit, but unlike the others, somehow manages to avoid getting knocked out from the blast.

Limping over to Manny, he drops the Ascension gun on his feet and stares at him, coldly, examining his face, doing what he could without the proper supplies, applying what field medicine he knew.

"I will not be indebted to a human..." is the last thing Manny and Jyr here before you both lose hold of your consciousness.

You spend the remainder of your time dragging your immobilized friend out to the extraction zone. Fortunately, the Gonk did not seem to pay attention to the sounds of explosions. It took a bit longer than expected, but you did get everyone here to the extraction zone in one piece. That should be celebrated. It's a small enough opening for a flying vehicle to be able to land, so no need to worry about the Gonks ruining your escape. You just had to wait for help to arrive and hope that, when they do get wise to what you did, you will already be up in the air.

Crowuashuso leans against the side of a building, hunched over. It was clear that he was barely holding on himself from that mine blast, but he still kept going strong. Likely, his ego and pride would quit a few minutes after his body.

"Mblergh..." Manny said, brushing a hand through his hair. "Did we win? Are we captured?" He looked around. They didn't look captured.

He went on. "Or maybe it's a tie, and everyone gets to go home now, and there's respect and everything?"

His brain caught up to the words the Chiss had said. "What's up, bro? I'm Manny!" He held his hand out for a fist bump. "How about..." with a flourish, he produced... "-an egg!" Grinning, he held it out for the Chiss. "Give it a shake first. Half of them are hard-boiled, and the other half are raw, so..." Manny shrugged.

There was a long, blank look from the Chiss, staring at your fist, confused as to what he was supposed to do with it. He then moves over and places his on top of your hand gently, then shakes his hand in a up and down motion. "Why are you carrying..." It was clear he was rather confused, again, but ultimately takes the egg.

Sholua returned from where she had been watching for any signs of pursuit. She stalked past the Chiss with a very brief.

"Sholua."

Before reaching Manny and grabbing him . . . to check for wounds.

Manny looked at the strange handshake, and then looked at Nara, eyebrows raised. Maybe she could explain it...

"Oh, hey," Manny was a little red-faced as Sholua ladyhandled him. "Yeah, well, you know what they say, mines are always in the last place you look, right?" He grabbed her back; she'd been hit too, after all!

"Is Jyr okay?" He asked.

"I'll check her when I'm sure you're fine. I stepped on a dud. Either the battery leaked or the idiots wired it wrong."

Fairly happy that Manny was in one piece . . . the eggs not so much, but she did not care about those.

"Jyr?"

"Not feeling in the best shape." Came the response, "But alive."

Jyrvess did not look to be happy at the present state of affairs, but lacked in the necessary means to change the situation. Means such as walking or standing up.

The Chiss, again, stares at your interactions, judging your PDA with silent condemnation. "Hmm, the human woman" He starts to eat the egg while he limps over to Jyr's body. "The good news for you is that the effects of the mine only hinder your basic motor skills. Except speaking, it seems. That's good." He paused. "Just lucky they weren't strong enough to really impact us. Those things can hurt, from what I'm told."

He starts to make a move to her body, checking her legs for proper circulation, as he did with Manny before. "Hmm...still good. No risk of amputation."

Oh right, he's a doctor . . . forgot that.

"Hmm..." He paused. "I am actually surprised my wife didn't come herself." He says, staring over to Jyr's eyes, before lifting one of his fingers to her face. "Follow the finger with your eyes, please." With that, he moves the finger to the left and the right slowly, his red eyes staring into your own, obviously judging them to see if they can follow the movement.

Racing through the ruined buildings, the sound of the large speeder-truck could be heard before it could be seen. Coming into the extraction zone it lands, settling down amid kicked up dust and grime from its repulsors. As it lands the back bay opens and someone steps out, immediately noticeable to many here is the Mandalorian visor.

"Alright, let's go," he calls out and a few more of these fighters step out of the back of the van to secure the location. While a couple more rush out to assess the group.

"Kriff me," a woman groans, "I was hoping for a little more action than this," she brings up her blaster rifle, scanning the surrounding ruins. Hoping for just the whiff of something to shoot at.

While the first one, the male, approached the group with solid footing he walks directly toward the doctor, "You the one we're here for?" he says as he gets closer, looking between everyone present.

"Mandos . . . "

She looked at the other three.

"Are we expecting Mandos?"

The Chiss turns his head from the examination of Jyr to his fellow Chiss and stares blankly for a solid moment before finally speaking to her in Cheunh. "Veo cart vah cas tisut sesvio'ah?" He turns his head back, places his hand on his temples and shakes before starting to stand up. "If that's our ride, one of you Mandalorians lift up the human female. Be careful not to move her too much or too quickly." He starts to dust himself off and looks to them coldly. 'Nausea and is a very real possibility in her state; doubt you would appreciate your armor covered being covered in human vomit."
