Who: Keith
Broadcast: Voice (shipside)
Action: Huntress (though the event mingle thread is another option for shipboard threads!)
When: During and just after the attack
[action]
They had started their decent, despite Keith's reservations after his visit to the surface with Shiro the other day. Everything about this whole thing felt wrong on so many levels, and Keith had those damn feelings of dread back again that had come with the dreams. Don't land. Run away. Help. And it was making him super agitated. His reluctance to go back to the surface ended up with the Huntress towards the back of the group that was heading down... which ended up being to their advantage when the weapons fire started. He gave a started yell, and immediately pushed the ship to max. The Fleet scattered in an attempt to get cover and/or escape. On the nav sensors, Keith could see other ships going down, but he was focused on getting his own out of the atmosphere first.
It was a bumpy ride. Sorry. But, he was doing his best. The incoming attacks were strong and hard to dodge, each volley stronger than the last. They took some fire, but it wasn't crippling damage, thankfully, and the ship managed to dodge and climb its way back into orbit.
It had been another run for their lives... and Keith leaned heavily on the console for a moment before remembering seeing those other ships going down.
"Quiznak," he growled, hitting the comm to open a channel. It was bad. Really bad. He wasn't even sure if this was going to get through, but he sure as heck was going to try.

Hello? Is anyone there? Everyone, check in. What ships are still up? Who's on the sur-? AAUGH!
[He was working hard to keep the panic from his tone, but the screech cut him off mid-broadcast, and then everything went dark, the ship dropping to only emergency functions. He listened hard for a response before finally saying something again.]
Anyone?

He looked over at the comm to see if there was anything coming through. His own console was completely unresponsive. Did he look worried? Because he was worried.
"I got nothing... we're drifting."
And not in the good 'moving to another planet' way...

Re: Voice
I've heard from others that the Bloodsport, the Blue Fish, and the Tourist have gone down. That means four are missing, but we're still not positive on which ones. Kaname also mentioned she saw at least one shuttle go down, too, which means there might have been others. The ships that made it might not be fully manned if some of their crew are stranded on the surface with crashed shuttles.
Re: Voice
...Well then. We should get to work. The sooner we get ourselves online, the better.
Re: Voice
Agreed.
I'll keep you updated if I find out anything else or if I can get a line to the planet.
Re: Voice
I'm going to get started on trying to get our communicators to make it down to the planet. Boost the signal. Any help you can find? Send them my way.
Re: Voice
[Yeah... he heard that grunt. Keith frowned a bit, but they had things to take care of. If anything, he had a feeling Tyrion wasn't much different from himself in that. Pushing themselves beyond their limits to get the job done.]
Take care.
Re: Voice
[They were all out in the dark on this one. Every reason to come closer together.]
Re: Voice
Thanks. I'll keep in touch.
