Kampe Campaign 2 - The Stack Exchanger is Reloaded

The team was given the Teroch-Class Cruiser "Deep Pocket" on loan for their mission to Kampe.

### Runtime

2:02:46

*Our heroes take on a the formidable foe of Choice Overload as they take too long in deciding which weapons and armor to take with them on their mission. They finally decide to go, shoot through some asteroids, con a fast con talk and land on the planet without being caught. In the end, Katira pick-pockets Cal because she is terrible and Jawa Jimmy finds his catchphrase: "Did someone say junk?". The scene ends with everything fading to black, it is night on the planet and the Force has abandoned the team to a dark and bitter sleep on Kampe.*

## **Previously**

*Having spent their time away from New Republic duties cavorting with Hutts and continuing upon the path of the Jedi, our group returned to the galactic scene just in time for the New Republic operation against the Eriadu Authority to begin in earnest.*

*A mission briefing was given in orbit of the planet Carida, and with their mission parameters set our heroes provided a list of necessary equipment and honed their skills. As Droo assisted Katira in swindling a fellow operative for their slugthrower, the rest of the team seemed ready to go. With the mission ready to get underway, the team is surprised to see Jawa Jimmy arrive, ready to help.*

## **Recap**

### **Perusing Available Equipment**

Jawa Jimmy arrives in the cargo hold as Callen peruses the available equipment for a weapon and armor and begins to pick out his own equipment as well. The surprised Alderaanian is introduced to the inquisitive little Jawa by Katira Eve as they each fit into a set of Ubese Raider Armor.

The team takes the remaining time available to them to hone their skills for the mission parameters given to them. Katira steps off to the side to finish having all of her gear stealth coated in black. As Callen walks over in full gear, she asks why he hates Dengar so much, but Callen’s answer is reserved.

> "*I mean, I won’t shoot him in the back, but I might nick his elbow.*"
> ― Callen
>
>

> "*I’ve seen you shoot. If you aim for him elbow you may very well end up shooting him in the back.*"
> ― Katira
>
>

> "*I don’t dislike the guy, I just hate him.*"
> ― Callen
>
>

Everyone takes as much time as they can manage looking through available equipment, but eventually the call comes over the PA for all teams to report to the docking bay. Rushing the paint job on her speeder bike, Katira manages to get the front end painted black before reporting in is a must.

> "*Just the tip.*"
> ― Luke

Hurrying in, Al Mosfriday points Alpha Team toward a Teroch-class Mandalorian Cruiser assigned to them for the mission. Handing code cylinders, ship blueprints, and transmission data over to Bota he informs the team that the ship is named *Deep Pocket*. Originally worrying that they would be flying nearly unprotected through military space entering Kampe, Blaine changes his tune and is completely onboard with the new possibility. Cal wishes the teams the best of luck as they board their ships. Already method acting as a Kampe native, Blaine responds in Kampe pigeon.

> "*Hey guys, let’s steal this ship and name it the Space Devil.*"
> ― Blaine Hansom

### **The Stack Exchanger is Reloaded**

Everyone settles in to the ship and roles are assigned. With Callen piloting and Blaine on sensors, Jimmy and Tek man the weapons in case any problems are encountered. The initial approach toward the planet upon exiting hyperspace begins with no problems, but soon Blaine picks up a troop transport shuttle moving in their direction off in the distance. With this information Callen adjusts course to bring the ship through a small and loosely clustered asteroid field, with Jimmy and Tek preparing to fire at any asteroids in the way.

As the ship enters the field, Blaine notices that a ship beyond the field is pinging their ship for transponder codes. Since the New Republic mission briefing stated that the ships codes should be cleared through the Eriadu Authority, they opt to transmit codes as if nothing was wrong.

Continuing through the field, a message is received from the ship. Identifying themselves as *EA223*, they request access codes for clearance to Kampe. Before Blaine can push their transponder codes again, Katira recalls that when Eristo reported in to Governor Parnot all transmissions carried a verbal code. She tries the same code that Eristo utilized, and the ship responds that everything appears to check out but they still want to perform their boarding procedure for training purposes. As the *Deep Pocket* continues through the belt, they are given coordinates for a rendezvous closer to the planet.

> "*Guys, this is great. Maybe we can leave here with 2 ships!*"
> ― Blaine
>
>

Coming to the back half of the asteroid belt, Jimmy reports that he can see the approaching Imperial shuttle out the viewport. *EA223* comes back onto the comm, stating that they are waiting to board until after the *Deep Pocket* clears the asteroid belt. Blaine mentally prepares for combat and starts to lay out a plan to take both ships. He is about to attempt to con the shuttle that their transponder is not working properly, but Katira interrupts again telling him to pass the verbal code “the stack exchanger has been reloaded”. Confused and unsure where the code came from, Blaine acquiesces to her request.

To everyone’s astonishment, transport *EA223* acknowledges the code phrase and cancels their boarding exercise. Blaine immediately asks where Katira would have learned a verbal code phrase for access to Kampe. She brushes off the concern, stating that it was a code phrase that she utilized as a mercenary before she met the rest of the group and they should focus on landing on planet.

> "*Alright, just bring us in for a landing.*"
> ― Luke
>
>

> "*Not until I get a little more captain’s juice. Whoa… little bumpy there at the end guys.*"
> ― Callen
>

### **Did Someone Say Junk?!**

Landing on the planet surface, everyone sets up a base camp on Kampe. Speeder bikes and other gear are offloaded in preparation for the next day, and Tek attempts to detect any life in the area. He says that there is other life in the area, but it doesn’t seem to be sentient - though Katira thinks he was just trying to get out of doing the work to set camp. Settling down for the night, Callen jokes that they’ll get to visit some souvenir shops.

> "*Callen, we’re gonna find you - I understand, best mayor on the planet - we’re gonna find you a good drinking cup.*"
> ― Katira
>
>

> "*It doesn’t have to be an actual drinking vessel. I mean, it could be a skull.*"
> ― Callen
>
>

> "*I think we’re gonna get along just fine.*"
> ― Katira
>
>

> "*Look, Katira, I gotta be honest with you. If you ever want anything from me, instead of stealing from me just ask. Okay?*"
> ― Callen
>
>

> "*Why would you think I want to steal something from you?!*"
> ― Katira
>
>

Insulted, Katira steals Callen’s mug when he turns around. She immediately gives it back to him and tells him that he dropped it. The group then shares a combination of brown gargle water and the medical grade alcohol Callen requisitioned from the New Republic, and discusses their upcoming mission as night settles over their Kampe camp.

> "*Hey Jimmy… Utini nyum num yub nub yub yub?*"
> ― Katira mocking Jawaese
>
>

> "*All this because you wanted to touch my junk…*"
> ― Callen
>
>

> "*Did someone say junk?!*"
> ― Jawa Jimmy
>

## **Quotations**

> "*Katira’s just off on her own with a spray can painting everything black. Even the sniper rifle that isn’t technically hers. Skids McDougal is just watching and crying, “No… that’s hand carved with inlay from the Rodian clan that gave it to me!”*"
> ― Luke
>
>

> "*Alright guys, here’s the thing: We can take this well armored, heavily armed, very maneuverable, stealth capable ship. Or we can take this… dishwasher…*"
> ― Blaine Hansom
>
>

> "*So what we could do is leave this ship at 400m, have Tek and Bota in full Mandalorian battle armor give the holo transmission to Kampe that Mandalore has declared war and go from there.*"
> ― Blaine
>
>

> "*I feel like the point of the mission wasn’t just to fly this ship.*"
> ― Katira
