An Empire Outpost in the Bryx Sector, A Galaxy Far, Far Away, Thursday Evening

It was supposed to be a milk run. In and out, no problem. Hera's sources had tipped her in on the location of a large shipment of bacta and other assorted medical supplies, which they were to come in, pick up, and then drop off on Wobani for a group of escapees from one of the Empire's labor camps. Hera would drop Kanan off, he'd make his way in on foot to secure the payload, and within an hour or two, the cargo would be on the ship, on the way to a group of people who could make far better use of it than the Imps could.

In theory. And Kanan had even managed to make it most of the way in, taking out a small trooper patrol and then helping himself to some of their gear. It was much easier to get in and out of an Empire's loading area when you were dressed for success, after all.

He... hadn't been banking on there being only one crate of cargo in the warehouse.

He extra hadn't been banking on it being accompanied by a half-dozen Rodians wearing shock collars, also awaiting transport to somewhere most certainly unpleasant.

After a quick, hushed conversation with the nervous captives, Kanan sighed and reached for his comm.

"Hey, Hera? How many people can we comfortably fit on the Ghost, anyway?"

[OOC: For she what is piloting the getaway vehicle!]

Hera nodded. "See you in five." She calculated the time it'd take to get there, grimaced, and checked the location of the Imp ships again.

"Looks like we'd better line up for landing," she told Chopper. "We can't head to pick them up yet, and we can switch transponders and cut out from there more easily than out here. Let's hope they're as backed up as most planets."

Hera commed ground control and was put in line for landing, then carefully maneuvered toward the edge of her assigned lane, keeping an eye on the clock.

Hera marked the time. "Brace yourself, Chop."

She dropped out of line and switched over the transponder, shooting low over the landscape toward the facility where Kanan was.

And then got angrily commed by someone demanding to know where she'd come from and where she was going.

"Damn it. Incoming, Kanan; you'd better be ready! Chopper, let me know how close they are."

Hera gunned it, slipped over the closest hill, and brought the Ghost down onto the landing pad. "Ready when you are! Chopper, how close are those patrols?"

Hera opened the cargo hatch and lowered the ramp. "Everybody on and brace yourselves," she called back through the intercom, keeping an eye on the converging patrols.

"We've got about a minute if I stretch it," she warned. "If it'll take longer, leave the bacta."

They had another cargo to worry about now, and Kanan himself was more important, too.

"What?" Hera asked. Then she scowled at the shots. "Don't you fire on my ship." She brought up the rear gun and swiveled it around to fire back. She didn't have much of a view from here, but she could offer a bit of distraction and deterrent.
futurespacemom: (determined)

[personal profile] futurespacemom 2017-09-08 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Best speed there is." She closed the ramp and lifted just above the tops of the buildings before gunning it into a straight shot away from the installation. She marked the locations of the patrol ships and banked into one sharp turn, then shot up at a steep angle before bringing it around again.
futurespacemom: (shocked)

[personal profile] futurespacemom 2017-09-08 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"Just as soon as we -" She was about to say 'leave the atmosphere' when the system alerted her to something big. "Just as soon as we get out of the range of that star destroyer!"

This was not good.

And it explained why the patrols had been so touchy.

"On it!" She spun and dove, trying to get as much distance as possible. "Don't think it's related to us, just bad timing," she added. Not that it mattered that much at the moment, but it was at least some consolation.
futurespacemom: (no)

[personal profile] futurespacemom 2017-09-08 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, please." Hera rolled her eyes, spun the ship, and shot up between two TIEs, letting them blow each other up. "It won't get us killed, and it's not like destroyers are fast. And I think these guys just failed inspection."

Formations existed for a reason.
futurespacemom: (I will punch you)

[personal profile] futurespacemom 2017-09-08 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Those guys are a bit more of a problem," Hera admitted. "Hard to get a hyperspace trajectory while I can't stay on course."

She dodged a few that were staying in formation, spiraled to give both her gunners a chance at them, and dove.
