Goodbye Mrs. Treks

We are speeding towards the Crate Fang, ready to get off this planet.

Through no fault of the driver, the speeder lurches up, throwing Oren out of the vehicle. At this speed, he might actually be dead. We all agree corpses are gross, so it’s best not to look behind us and check.

We decide to take a quick detour into society’s gross underbelly to see what we can learn about Temo. We meet a friend of a friend of a cousin of Temo’s who informs us that Temo isn’t just a hardened criminal, he also lies sometimes. Sometimes lying to people who don’t take kindly to people lying to them.

We start to lose hope of ever finding a way to deal with Temo when a trash can starts following us. It’s Lance Slaughterbot! We go back to the ship and formulate a plan. We decide to rush the ship and kill everything in it.

With no blaster and no credits to buy one, I decide to use my exceptional driving skills to try and run the droids over. Lance gets in the speeder with me, and MRDR gets ready to rush the droids. I put the speeder in gear, and I start speeding towards the droids. The droids stand perfectly still. They are just too unpredictable, and I miss them entirely. As I’m passing the droids, GRONK flips out of the speeder in a way that only a trash can can. In mid-air, he ruthlessly kills a droid in two shots. MRDR try’s to throw off the droids by mimicking someone who can’t aim. He’s doing a stellar job.

I bring the speeder around and try to take out the remaining droid. He’s too elusive and sporadic in his movements, and I miss him altogether. The remaining droid takes out MRDR. GRNK, fueled by the hatred of seeing his droid brethren shot, kills the last droid. MRDR’s prognosis doesn’t look good. No one here has any experience repairing droids. Somehow though, I manage to mend the droid with our single repair kit. It’s as if it was the will of the force this droid to live. I give him back his gun that somehow fell into my pocket when we assumed he was dead.

Before we can regroup, Treks runs out of the freighter with droids in tow and takes a shot at me. It’s bad enough I don’t think I can continue driving the speeder. I hand MRDR the speeder, and he gives me his gun. I start to aim the gun, but the droids tag me. It’s not looking good for me. I see MRDR careening towards Treks at a shocking speed. As the walls close in around me, I see parts of Trek’s body flying through the air.

I wake up on the floor of a ship to what sounds like screaming. I make my way to the cockpit to find Lance Slaughterbot lifelessly piloting the ship away from a couple tie fighters. It doesn’t look like he’s going to shake them. We’ll have to take them out.
