We've pulled crazier stunts than this

WHO: Poe Dameron, OPEN
WHERE: Bishop, Temba, Storm
WHAT: Event stuff
WHEN: Start through end of the Energy Storm Event
WARNINGS: TBD



Bishop
The pull to the ships is just as strong as before, and Poe finds himself back behind the controls as they take off. But this time they finally get their first real glimpse of the ones who've brought them here. Poe listens carefully, and when the message ends he finds he can fly the ship for real now, and there's a map that seems to have two destinations.

Poe knows which one he wants to speed towards, but he needs to consult with his crew first and find out who wants to be dropped back in Temba first.

[Poe's currently flying , so the angles not great on this one.]

I'm stopping back in Temba to left anyone who wants. If anyone else needs a ride for some reason, you're welcome on Bishop, but I'm not stopping for long.

The flight
The storm is huge. Not the sort of thing you want to fly into, but that's exactly where Poe guides the ship. The winds tear at it, but luckily, Poe's a damn good pilot, and he's able to keep control. But it's rough, takes almost everything he has to land the thing without tearing it apart, which doesn't bode especially well for actually stepping out into the storm does it?

The storm
The rain beats down, and it's hard to see as it is, but as Poe presses on he's sure he can see figures just ahead, faces that seem familiar but just out of reach, and when he tries to call after them they seem to disappear.

BB-8 keeps insisting there's nothing there, but Poe seems increasingly distracted, in very real danger of taking off after them.

Help
There's an urgent beeping of droidspeak you may be able to hear over the storm. If you follow it you'll find BB-8 by the edge of a deep crack in the ground, trying desperately to pull Poe up from it with his winch, but he's not nearly strong enough. The astromech looks pleadingly to you to assist.

[Poe's standing outside of the Bishop, scanning the horizon line.]

Anyone else out there need a ride back? We're still here, if you can get to us. If you can't, hold tight. I'll fly my crew back, and come back for you, okay? You just need to tell me where you're at.

[OOC: Feel free to reply with any other starters, or in any other format/tense]

If they weren't already in the thick of things, Cal might have laughed at the very notion that they were actually so intent on finding out what was going on with this storm. There's no laughing about trees being disintegrated before their eyes, and he can't help but share that concern of Poe's as he glances at their two metal friends as well.

"Think it'd be safer for them on the ship?" he asks when he catches Poe's eye. He hears BD-1 protest, feeling a stab of guilt. "I know you want to, but I don't want to risk anything happening to you or BeeBee-Eight."
