Li'el flickered as sense of relief at the sight of her comrade. Cy met the purple eyes of Captain Soban with the accusing stare. She could sense that he and Li'el weren't on the closest of terms, but also that he was a practical man. "Captain Soban, I'm Jedi Master Cy-Raxx Otauna of the Republic military. We've got people down here in need of extraction from hostile territory."
Soban looked from Cy to li'el, "Sorry Jedi master, that would be bad tactics the planet has some natural/unnatural EMP radiation, we wouldn't land we would crash. We don't how or why that create of yours is able to leave the planet."
An alarm wailed off screen, soban's attention was redirected, "Gunners focus on the analog frigate! helm hard to port! all fighters maintain harassment screen! Deck officer prepare a shuttle."
"You must go." Bentus spoke "i have no control over my keepers they are attacking,"
Li'el marched to bentus, "bentus now that we out of the planet's atmosphere direct some of the Movers to defend, and move closer to those Tiidani ships." she turned to the screen, "Soban we cant lose this ship, its the Unbound ship Bentus."
Soban stopped and looked disbelieving at Li'el then turn to bark an order off screen, " Tact! order fighter groups Cresh and Dorn to screen and protect new ship: designate tact three. Major get that ship over here."

((OOC: If we've lifted off from the surface of the planet, should we move to a different thread?))
Cy hated leaving the presense she had sensed behind. But Captain Soban was right; if this planet was a death trap for ships, it would be foolish in the extreme to attempt to mount a rescue in the middle of a space battle.
The liftoff had been smooth, barely noticable but for Li'el's shift from ground to space tactics and the sudden influx of comm chatter.
Cy did not want to interrupt, but she want to stand a watch and be useless either, not when she could fly nearly any ship given to her and fly it well. "Li'el, is there anything I can do to be useful? Is this craft equipped with fighters?"
In the back of her mind, she thought Don't worry, I will pointedly ignore the fact that being given a ship would allow me the option of going back to the planet to rescue that Jedi.
Why in the names of the Nine Hells, when I was so eager to get off, does going back to that Force-forsaken planet seem such a good idea as soon as I break the atmosphere?
She tried to cast out into the Force, feeling as if she had shaken free of the Yuuzhan Vong field of numbness of mind, searching for the Jedi who had called for help.
But then another idea struck her, something a bit more relevant to the task at hand. "What about comms? We could contact the Republic from here with a strong signal."

(sorry for the wait stuff been insanely busy, and Cy i think as long as we are in the arctic planet's system were fine)
"Li'el, is there anything I can do to be useful? Is this craft equipped with fighters?" Cy asked.
Li'el paced toward Bentus' control being, " Bentus do you have any combat craft?"
" i have lost my combative abilities when i crashed i have only my worker drones."
Li'el paced about the chamber arms fold sunk in thought, it was Cy that that caused her to pause her train of thought. Li'el could feel a sense of restlessness in the Jedi, a wanting to return to combat that even Sjet herself was eager to do.
"What about comms? We could contact the Republic from here with a strong signal." Cy asked.
"well have to back off possibly outside the system, do you know their frequency?" Li'el looked Cy over, "what did you have in mind?"
The image of Soban, his attention back on them, spoke "I'll send over a marine frigate to collect you, and well cover you."

"I know the frequency for the Temple at Yavin 4." Cy said. "They can connect us to whatever Republic ships are nearby, see if anyone can get here in time to turn the tide of Yuuzhan Vong."
Cy breathed deeply and evenly, trying to think more clearly even as she tensed for battle. She felt like all her avenues were shut, like she had no control over the situation without a starfighter, a lightsaber, or even a culture she knew of her own. But she would have said, to an apprentice that spoke of such things, that each person makes their own comfort zone.

(man where did everyone go?)
I know the frequency for the Temple at Yavin 4." Cy said. "They can connect us to whatever Republic ships are nearby, see if anyone can get here in time to turn the tide of Yuuzhan Vong."
Li'el turned to bentus, "bentus a marine frigate will land in the hanger after we leave make a jump to these coordinates." Li'el leaned down and whispered the location of the nearest Tiidani base.
"Come on Jedi well meet them in the hanger," Li'el grabbed anything they needed and made her way to the hanger once again.
Colonel Carabali of the Soban kiith stared attentively listening to Captain Soban issue his orders. The Marine drop/assault frigate: White Desert was to make a b-line to the unknown ship code signed Bentus, dock, and retrieve one Tiidani officer and a Jedi.
The White Desert broke from the support group's formation, taking pot-shots at passing Vong fighters and drones, but remained relatively unnoticed. The Marine Frigates were originally modified cargo transports, but has since evolved into fast, heavily armored boxy delivery ships used to insert Tiidani Marines into hostile ships. they sported relatively light armament 1 anti ship turrets and 5 manned pointdefence slots and could carry two to three heavily armed squads.
The White Desert matched pace with Bentus, the opening to the hanger had just barely allowed room for the frigate in. the landing struts lowered and the White Desert settled to the deck causing some of the deck plates to buckle and groan under the frigate's mass.
Li'el reached the bulk head door in time to see suited troops disembark and set up an atmosphere shield generator. One of the troopers approached the bulkhead door knocked twice and held up a pair of re-breathers.
"re-breathers, most of bentus lost air when we left the planet they are gonna open the bulkhead and put on the re-breather the air will be thin when the remaining air is used to pressurize the hanger." Li'el told Cy before she opened the bulk head door.
