Science Fiction Star Wars - Trailing Kyle Rahn (Mythic)
#1
While browsing some old files on my computer, I found a stored text file that contains a story of a solo RPG I did some 8 years ago, long before I discovered RPG Solo. I decided to share it. For this story, I used a Flash-based GM emulator that was around back then. It emulated Mythic well and I enjoyed creating stories with it.  This story is it's result. Enjoy!

The Setting
This is non-canon setting of my own. It's a generation or so after the destruction of the 2nd Death Star at Endor, and a new Jedi Order has arisen. Episodes 7,8, and 9 never happened. Erase them from your pained memories. (Maybe not even 1,2, and 3. Not that it matters much, but I'm fan of the original trilogy and LOVED the Thrawn books, though this doesn't necessarily follow Thrawn series either. If you hate what Disney did and want some real Star Wars and haven't read the Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn--check 'em out!) 

The Characters
The story features Jana Aiererith. She is a striking young woman in her mid twenties who belongs to the Jedi Order. She is an apprentice still, but shows great promise and seeks to complete her knighthood. Her lightsaber skills have far surpassed the average apprentice, and she is eager to prove herself in nearly any endeavor.

Her history is marked by a path among the low-lifes of the galaxy. Her parents were civilian casualties in a battle between the Rebels and the Empire, and she was raised by a drunkard of an uncle on narshadda. She learned the value of stealth to keep food on the table.

She ran away from her uncle 5 years ago and joined a bounty hunter group. When they all agreed to do an assassination of a young noblewoman, she sold them out and fled. They now seek her life.

Jana's main goal is to seek knighthood, but she is often plagued by the mistakes of her past.

Ambidextrous - Jana is equally skilled with using weapons in either hand and gets an automatic free attack when wielding a second weapon in her other hand.

Enemies (weakness) Jana has made mortal enemies of a group of 5 bounty hunters she tried to sell out in her past life. There is a chance (unlikely) one of them will show up to ruin the day. They are all skilled hunters. (-15 points).

Overconfidence (weakness) Jana has a hard time resisting a dare. Anytime someone suggests something that seems foolhardy or downright crazy she has to make a Will resistance vs below average or go along with it. (-10 points)

Mechanical Deficiency (weakness) Jana has a hard time around tools, gadgets, etc. Any time she has to repair something she suffers a -1 RS (-5 points)

Debt (weakness) Jana owes a crime boss a 100,000 credits. She barely makes enough to pay interest on the loan. Each adventure there's a chance (No Way) she'll have to pay a minimum payment of 5,000. Failure means she's over due and someone comes to collect. (-10 points). If She confronts and defeats the crime boss directly that too will remove the disad.

Jedi Code (weakness). She strives to follow the code, even when it puts her in danger. (-15 points). Everytime she wants to disobey the code to give her an advantage she has to make a Will save vs Exceptional. Failure means she will follow the code and put herself in danger.

Curious (weakness). -5 It killed the cat and it might kill her. Will save vs Low when something unusual confronts her, otherwise she'll investigate it.

Secret (weakness) -15 It's something dangerous... details will come later.

RX (Her trusty droid companion)
RX is a retrofitted experimental combat droid that puts the smaller droids to shame. He takes orders from Jana but also has some independent programming. While slow, he is extremely strong and heavily armored. He also boasts considerable combat skills from demolitions to hand to hand to ranged combat. His preferred method of fighting is ranged weaponry such as missile launchers and rapid fire blasters.

The adventure begins with Jana and Lyra in a shuttle. They are on a dangerous mission from their master, Keth Nadeau, to follow an apprentice named Kyle Rahn who went rogue, and was last known heading for the planet Almas presumably to seek revenge on Kibh Jeen (another apprentice who killed his master and turned to the darkside) for killing his parents. It is known that a Sith Fortress existed at one time on the planet. They drop out of hyperspace to resupply at a nuetral planet.

Scene 4 (and 5... numbering got off)
We meet with the officials.
Q: Do they have any intelligence on where the priates originated from? EXCEPTIONAL YES
Yes and they know in fact that they come from a nearby asteroid belt. Their base is inside of a large asteroid.
We want to help. Were any high officials taken?
Q: #2 NO
Were a lot taken?
Q: #3 YES
More than 20?
Q: #4 YES
Less than 100?
Q: #5 EXCEPTIONAL NO
Wow lots of pirates. So we're talking well over 100 prisoners. We don't have that large of a ship. Is the military planning a rescue mission?
Q: #6 NO

Q: Why not. Too depleted by the pirates? NO

The people are panicked right now. If we pull out all our forces rioting might break out. In addition, the pirates could come back at any time.


Q: Does the military know of anyone who can help? EXCEPTIONAL YES
E: Positive for Conner Kendet: the Taking of the Physical
Conner passed military exams (basic training) and is a PFC.

Q: Who can help? If not the military? Merchants? YES

Merchants guild offers to help for a large sum.

The Jedi are already aware of the pirates and were forming a fleet. Let's communicate with them and found out how close they are to coming.

Q: Are they close?  NO

We ask if the military knows where the slaves are taken?
Q: #11 NO

Lets disguise ourselves and make our way to the pirate base. Maybe we can come up with something. Does the military have a ship we can use--one captured from the pirates?
Q: #12 EXCEPTIONAL YES

Oooo. Very nice. It's captured and only sustained minor damage in the fighting. It's heavily armored and has good weapons. The pirates were captured and are in prison awaiting trial.

Very good. We take their clothes and equipment. We'll also make recordings of their voices if needed. RX48 will store them them.

So the plan is that the merchant fleet will do a feint attack to pull away the majority of the forces. During the fighting we'll pose that we're wounded and then fly to the asteroid base. We give our IFF code to our side so there's no real shooting.

We will proceed to the asteroid base and with the plan. Feint and then when "shot up" fly to the asteroid base.
Scene #5:

Before we leave, we'll purchase some medical supplies in case we're wounded. Power packs for weapons etc and then disguise ourselves as best as possible.

We fly. The merchant fleet takes off for it's feint attack. We'll hide the ship behind an asteroid and "join" the battle once it commences.
R: 75% to hide: 27/100

We park ths ship behind an asteroid. The battle begins.
Q: Do the pirates move to intercept? YES

Good the main force is drawn away into the fighting. We unhook and fly into the melee.

Feint attack.
Q: Who has the upper hand. The pirates? YES

Better make this quick then. We cause a fake explosion when a blaster scores us. Then we fake wounded and fly back to the ship. Are we successful?
Q: Do we get a +1 rank shift? NO
Q: +2 NO
t. So 50% chance.
R: 50%: 100/100 No rank shif

Q: When are they onto us, when we get close to the base? NO
Q: At the battle? EXCEPTIONAL YES
E: Ambiguous Significance: Proceedings regarding Liberty

Someone is onto us.
: Did someone blow our cover? YES

Rats. We have a mole!


Q: So all the pirates are onto it?  NO


Q: Some are? YES

But if not everyone, why not? Ah hah. They want the glory for themselves of course. Selfish.
Q: How many vessels? More than 2? YES
Q: Less than 5? NO
Q: Less than 7? YES

So a squadron is suspicious or knows entirely, but only this squadron is on our tail. We fly into the asteroid. Lets shake em.

We call for assistance from another merchant squadron to help. Do they?
Q: #25 NO

Into the asteroid field. Maybe there's something about this pirate vessel. Are they shooting at us?
Q: #26 NO


Q: Too busy concentrating on flying right now? EXCEPTIONAL YES

Ooo dangerous asteroid field. Lets fly really close to one and maybe some of the enemy will crash into the rocks.

R: 75%: 41/100

Boom. One spins off and implodes on an asteroid.

5 left. "What do they want I wonder. Why aren't they shooting?"
Q: Is there something on this asteroid that might cause big boom booms? NO
Q: Do they want to make a deal? NO
Do they want to capture the ship?
Q: #30 YES
E: Resolution of 'Hunted by Bounty Hunters.': the Care of Benefits
Jedi council paid off debts. Ahhh that's nice. Now only Sallo is hunting us out of pure spite.
I get it. It's a proving ground. If you can make it through you're the man!
Q: How many rolls do we need to make to get through this field? 5? NO
Q: Less? NO
Q: Six? NO
Q: Seven? NO
Q: 8? NO
Q: 9? YES

Meditation to give me a boost.

Battle meditation. Roll vs Average. If you make it you get at least +1 RS in your favor for the task at hand. If you beat it by at least 40 points, you get another +2. Exceptional gives an extra +1. Failure means you lose -1 RS due to distractions for the task at hand.

Roll 1
R: 75%: 58/100

Q: Are we close to their base? EXCEPTIONAL YES

Ahh that's why? If they miss, they might hit their base.
Q: Is the base aware of who we really are? NO
Q: Did pirates lose comm suite? NO
Why don't they inform the enemy. We'll find out I guess.

We move toward a hanger and land the ship. Zrrooom. Yeeehaw. We're now in a hanger. Alright put on your pirate faces. Yargg. Lets go talk.

We've entered the pirate base. We need to find out who's leading the pirates as well as where the prisoners are.


Scene #6:
E: Positive for RX48: An Increase of the Physical

Nice. RX in the back of the ship found the workroom and some additional armor plates. Zrrruuup. +2 to his tuff now.

We exit the pirate ship.
Q: Does anyone come to repair it? NO

Yeah I didn't think they'd be that organized.

Q: Do the other two ships land in the same bay? NO

Who knows what those two pirates are up to. I guess we'll find out.

Q: Are there other pirates around? YES

Q: Fixing up other ships? NO

Q: Guard duty? NO

Ahh they're eating right now. There must be a mess hall nearby. Lets go get some food and listen for where pirates might be keeping the slaves.

Q: Do we find out? NO

No go. We get some food.
Q: Do the other two pirates show up? YES

Q: Is one of them Sallo? YES

"Well hello Jana. Thought I'd find you here. Didn't want to blow you out of the sky when you didn't know who I was. Made you nervous didn't I? I always make it a point to kill those that get on my bad side in person."

Q: Who's the other guy, some hired thug? EXCEPTIONAL NO
Q: Woman? EXCEPTIONAL NO

"I see you like my droid. This is Zed. My insurance. He's a modifid battle droid that only takes orders from me. He's gonna make sure you don't walk away this time."
Q: Is Sallo being quiet? YES

I nod. Fine. Lets do this thing. We look for a quiet place where there's not a lot of people.
Q: Do we find an empty hanger? NO
Q: Down in the under belly of the place?  YES

So... in the quiet elevator.
Q: Are we doing this one on one? YES

Jana nods and the elevator stops moving.

Sallo has followed Jana to the asteroid base and wants to take out his revenge. He has his souped up battle droid with him. It's not looking good. This will be a one on one fight... most likely.

Scene #7:
E: Ambiguous Significance: a Division of a World

The asteroid is divided partially by a huge chasm. It's dark down here except for some running lights on the floor and the occasional hanging florescent light. It's also pressurized, but there's a chasm just outside the walkway that may or may not be pressurized. There is a large window in place keeping out the ravages of space. (Lyra apparently wasn't with Jana here. She must be investigating something elsewhere.)

Q: Does he know I'm a jedi? YES

Sallo smiles. "I know all about you. You thought you could hide from me, by joining up with those peace keepers." He snorts. "It doesn't matter. Jedi or not, you're still the same one who sold us out, and that's always personal. I'm going to kill you." He smiles. The walkway has entered a larger circular room.
Q: Is it a supply room? YES

He pulls out a large black vibro blade and pulls aside his cloak revealing a black breast-plate of armor. He nods to Zed who backs off and focuses one eye disconcertingly on Jana.

(Hmmm. So I'm not sure what happened to Sallo. Not sure who the "Him" was. Sallo or Zed. I think Sallo got force pushed into the decompressed area and suffocated...? Anywho... water under the bridge)

Scene #8:

E: Ambiguous Significance: the Movement of Messages

A speaker goes off in an ante-room outside the large circular room where they had the fight. 

"What's going on down there? we're detecting de-pressurization. Is everything alright?"

RX speaks into the comms. "Umm...everything is fine. A bounty hunter and his droid tried to break into the base through the lower levels. We...uh...stopped him though. In the fight he smashed through the glass. Section B is depressurized. Other sections are holding. Good thing we killed him before he found out where the slaves were."

We use RX to modulate his voice based off of the pirate voice records.

Do we fool them into thinking we're pirates?

R: 65%: 74/100
Spend 9 favor points.

Do we get info on where the slaves are? "Good they're still safe right? In umm the cell block?"

R: 65%: 72/100
7 more fav points to get the info.

"Yeah, they ain't going anywhere. They're safe in the cells in sector 48 of course. We're shipping them down to the prison planet of Tolmara tomorrow. Anyway, we'll send a team down to patch up the window. Good work on the bounty hunter. Didn't think the merchants would use them."


Q: Is there a nearby computer that RX can hack into? EXCEPTIONAL YES

Nice... here's a computer. Quite close with a hookup for RX.

He hacks into the computer to find out who's behind the pirate operation.
Q: Is the complexity of the system a Low? EXCEPTIONAL YES

Easy peasy mac and cheasy.

R: Hacking into the computer: 84/100
The password was written on a sticky note. Real secure. He sifts through the files.
Q: Is there info on who's behind the pirates? NO
Q: Is it on another computer, handled by a commander maybe? EXCEPTIONAL YES

"Ok RX. It looks like we'll have to find a diff computer."

Q: Does this one list the commander and where his barracks are located? NO

This computer is probably mainly for maintenance anyway.

Q: Is there a maintenance layout that shows where the most computer system power would be located? NO

Lets find a dif computer. This one is probably just for this section.

Q: Is there a layout at all of the base? YES

Okay. RX downloads the layout. It's something. We hide out in a side passage until the maintenance crew passes and deals with the window.

We go up to an upper level, using the elevator.
Q: Does the layout we got list where the commander is located? YES

Perfect. We go there.

Does it list maintenance side shafts?
Q: #47 YES

Okay we'll use those shafts to sneak up close and watch through a grate or something until he falls asleep.

Q: We stealth through the shafts and maintenance routes. Are we spotted? NO

We're above the commander's room.
Q: Is it close to retiring? NO

We wait quietly with RX48's life sensors scanning the place and other sensors scanning the place for any sign of life, sensor traps, etc.
Q: Is the room secured at all? NO

Q: Is the commander there? YES

What's he doing here?
Q: Is he using the computer? NO

Q: Is it a boy? NO

She's a female. Alright.
 
Q: Does she have a datapad on her? NO
Q: Is there one on the desk? NO
Q: Is there a larger computer mainframe on the desk? EXCEPTIONAL NO

Drat. There's no computer at all in here. No datapad visible on her or on the desk.
Q: Can we get a view to any closet? YES
Q: Is her datapad in the closet? EXCEPTIONAL NO

Wrong place. We follow the map to the war-room.
Q: Is there a war room? YES
In the maintenance shafts we go.
Q: Is it occupied? YES
Guards?
Q: #61 YES
We see lots of computers? Right?
Q: #62 YES
This is it.
Q: Judging from the conversations we hear, has the battle wrapped up? NO
Q: Do the pirates have the upper hand? NO
They were winning before.
Q: Did the Jedi fleet arrive? YES
We listen.
Q: Are they receiving any orders from outside this base? From an external monitor? NO
We have RX use his periscope to peek down below and read messages on any visible computers.
Q: Are there any visible from our vantage point? NO
We just wait for a while, very quietly to see if we get any info as to who's behind it. A mention of a name or something?
Q: Does that happen? YES


With the information in hand, we need to inform the Jedi Council. To do that we need to find the communication tower.
Scene #9:

Q: We quietly leave the maintenance shaft. RX check the layout for a comm tower. Is there one listed on the map? YES
Q: Do the maintenance shafts proceed there? EXCEPTIONAL YES
E: Positive for Lyra Nyine: the Gratification of Success

While on route, Lyra spots a room with a communications console. It is unguarded.

We enter the room and RX hooks up to the machine and sends out a coded message to the Jedi fleet with the info they have.
Q: Is the security of the system < average? NO
Q: Is it average? NO
R: 55% chance to get a coded message out. regarding Kib Jeen, Kyle, and the pirates and slaves: 9/100
Not only that the jedi responds back.
Q: Do they want us to go after Kyle still? NO
Q: The slaves then? NO
Q: Kibh Jeen himself? YES
Q: Great. Do they know where he is? NO
So the Jedi Council will take care of rescuing the pirates most likely when they're delivered to the prison planet. Our mission is to proceed and stop Kib Jeen. Not an easy task.

See if RX can hack into the computer system and if the info is there.
R: 50%: 11/100
Q: He's not on this base. We know that. Is he on Almas? YES
Okay. We'll go there. He's prob at the ruined Sith Fortress.

Make it out of the Asteroid Base alive.

Comply and you will be spared. Ignore our generous offer, and you will be destroyed. You have 1 hour to give your response before we begin our assault."

Q: Do they patch him through to Kibh? NO

The local commander says she'll think about it and give them their answer.

After signing off
Q: Is the tech a weapon? NO

R: hide vs spot: 75%: 38/100

We make it to the hanger
Q: Are there guards in the hanger? NO

Q: Other ships? NO

We get in the ship and fly out.

We will leave the asteroids and go to Almas. To the sith fortress.

Scene #11:
While flying, we transmit our data to the Jedi fleet regarding the possible device the pirates have. 
Q: Doe they get our message? EXCEPTIONAL YES

Q: Will the hold off their attack? NO

"We have our orders. We'll proceed cautiously and intercept the pirate transfer of the slaves. And you have your orders. Try to find Kibh Jeen or Kyle."

"Yes General."

We fly to the Sith fortress and land outside of it.

That's strange. I was expecting to feel something more dangerous. I wonder why.

Jana takes out her macro binocs and scans the ruins.

Q: Does she see movement? EXCEPTIONAL NO

It's quiet. Too quiet. I don't even feel... anything.

Spread out and look for clues, but keep your coms close at hand.

It doesn't seem like there's anything here. Let's look for an opening into the ruins. There's nothing above ground worth seeing.

Q: Do we find some sort of opening? NO

Q: RX48 scans for life signs. Does he detect any? NO

Thi place is dead.
Q: Any bones? NO

Q: Any wind? NO

And it's still.

Q: Is there anything? NO

Q: There's no force at all? NO

That scares Jana more than anything. Let's keep looking, we're bound to find an opening some place.
Q: We keep looking for an opening the rest of the afternoon. Doe we find one? EXCEPTIONAL NO

Throughout the afternoon and the evening they search but find nothing. Perhaps it's hidden, perhaps they're just looking in the wrong spot.

They make camp among the ruins.

Q: Does anything interesting happen at night? NO

The next morning, they scan a different section of the ruins. Is there a level down?
Q: #30 NO

They contact the Jedi fleet.

Nothing but static. Drat...  dust and wind is picking up.

Suddenly a ship, a huge capital ship, begins to descend. It's repulsors kick up the dust and actually cause the storm.

Q: Is it coming? YES
Q: larger than corvette class? EXCEPTIONAL YES

What is that?
Q: Jana scans with her macros. Does she see any identifying features? YES

Wait a minute! Why does this seems so familiar.
Q: Is it a pirate ship? NO

Lets hide and see who comes out.
Q: Are we spotted? NO

Q: Does Kibh Jeen come out? YES

Q: Is he alone? A History of Insight, RX48

RX48 gives out confirmation. He recognizes Kibh Jean. He is not alone. Even back at the academy he was always surrounding himself with friends and underlings.

Q: Did they see our ship? Evil Humility, Slaves taken by pirates. Rescue them.

Yes and surrounded it and are now alert. Pirates are scouring the rocks looking for escaped slaves?

Q: Is Kyle Rahn with him? A Future of Splendor

Yes and Kibh is promising him the galaxy if he will join him.

Q: Do they remain above ground? A Small Amount of Exposure, Kyle Rahn

No. A well hidden door--secret door--is discovered. A clever hologram device was shielding the opening and he and Kyle descend down into the ruins.
Q: Do some pirates remain to guard their ship? A Rough Likeness of Humility

The pirates take up hidden sniping positions and wait.

We are going to sneak into the fortress following the other two.
Scene #13:

E: New NPC: a Development of Elements

E: New NPC: a Development of Elements

R: We sneak past the pirate guards: 75%: 23/100

No and he's done playing along with Kibh. He wants to finish Jeen.
Q: is he after more than just revenge now? Helpful Obsessions

Yes. He's after Jeen's power. Which means he's sucummbed to the dark side as much as Jeen but he still wants revenge.


Q: Is he angry enough to strike now? A Revelation regarding Insanity

"Join me Kyle. Together we will...."

Kyle cackles. "I'll never share with you. The power will be mine. It will be---" and he attacks.

We confront Kibh Jeen and Kyle. But Kyle attacks Kibh. And Kibh calls up for support while drawing on the force. Pirates rush to the rescue.

Kibh Jeen
Strong.
Not fast.
Relies on force.
Darkside apprentice.
Use Force: Exceptional

Q: Is he strong willed? Disturbing Dullness, Darkside science project

His voice cackles... "too late... far too late. I'm not even here. Not even alive.... just a puppet. A puppet on my own strings to dance the fleshy puppet for your doom and my amazement."

Jeen... or Jeen puppet whatever it is. Attacks.

With lightsabers spinning, I cry out and slash down at his arm holding his lightsaver. He screams in pain as the limb is severed.
R: 80%: 73/100

Breathing hard I demand his surrender. Does he?
Q: Is his will high? YES

We quickly knock him out and tie him up.

E: Progress on 'Payment of Debt.': a Betrayal of Joy
