178. Sith Saga: Proving Grounds - Raezyr

Raezyr had was hiding in the hyperdrive/engine room of the Galaxy Flyer when he heard something strike the hull.

What the hell? That sounded like a turbo laser blast!

Tyr had taken up hiding in a storage compartment near the cockpit, and Raez reached out to him, What's happening?

Under attack, came the reply.

This can't be our group. We still have a few more hours before they're scheduled to attack. He sensed the other Sith were thinking along the same lines.

He could hear the crew of the Flyer returning fire. He needed to do something and quick, before this thing got too damaged or this whole mission would be for naught.

Quickly he began looking over the sub-light engines. It wasn't a model he was familiar with. He thought hard. He had to get it shut down. Finally he found the connections he was looking for and crossed the wires, shorting the manuevering thrusters. It would take a while to fix, but they'd have to shut down to do it. He quickly disguised the signs of his tampering.

He commed Trych and Anya, "We're shutting down. We'll probably be boarded soon. Hopefully this crew will be able to repel the attackers and they'll get back underway. I have to find a new hiding spot. We can't contact Tyr so let's just hope he can sense what we're doing."

"If this crew gets taken, we'll have assist them somehow without being detected," Trych commed back.

"I copy.... be careful," Raezyr said, switching off his comm.

The sublight engines shut down, and the laser fire stopped. He wouldn't have much time before the other ship docked and the boarding party entered.

He quickly made his way forward through the ship and slipped into a maintainence hatch. Not the best place, but this would allow him access to other parts of the ship with out being seen.

He didn't have to wait long. The Flyer was jarred as the docking clamps attached. Shortly after, yelling and blaster fire could be heard throughout the ship.
