Exegol preplay

[bb8_dad]

The ships exited hyperspace, and Poe's first thought upon seeing Exegol was that it looked dead. It was the the ugliest thing he'd seen in a long while, and he wondered if it had always been this way, or if building a colossal fleet of Star Destroyers here had killed the place.

And when the ships dived into the cloud cover, they nearly ran into the Sith fleet. It was massive. Their triangled hulls were enormous, but they grew even smaller as their numbers seemed to stretch into infinity.

"Great dark seas," Aftab Ackbar gasped across the comm. "Look at that!"

"No sign of the Falcon or allies," Tyce said from her ship.

"Help will get here," Poe assured them.

Look, sometimes there was just a guy in a suit of armor, flying around.

It was fine.

"Whoa!" Tony said as alerts sounded in the HUD of his helmet, immediately moving to avoid the shots as much as he could and maybe panic releasing a few decoy pods to take the rest in a cloud of smoke and debris. "You're right about as friendly as the Kree."

Which was to say, not at all.

Sith and Sith affiliates would like to argue that they were less friendly, really. But at the moment they were also suddenly swirling around trying to figure out what to do with decoy pods besides try to blow them up.

Okay, so no banter either. Good to know.

Tony let JARVIS go through an analysis of the ship as he boosted the thrusters of the suit to get around them and get in close enough to latch onto one of those very, very poorly designed... wings? Fins? He wasn't sure.

Re: Spaceships

They were definitely wings, and the pilot inside the TIE was suddenly flying a little wilder, trying to shape whatever he was off of the ship.

"Sir, I recommend you disengage," JARVIS chimed in Tony clung like a spider monkey in a very high tech suit of armor.

"Doing fine, JARVIS," he ground out, digging his gauntlet into the metal of the wing. "Just... don't let Steve know about this, okay?"

And that was when he charged up the unibeam to burst out of his chestplate and into the cockpit.

Re: Spaceships

The pilot definitely didn't know what to do with that, but he only had to worry about it for a minute before the TIE came apart.

At least the other TIEs nearby had a second to be stunned by that before they could do anything!

"Well, that's a plan," Tony said brightly, turning his attention on the nearest TIE fighter. "Let's go again."

Oh, this was going to end in him getting smacked to the ground at some point, but for now he could have some fun! He didn't get to use the unibeam nearly as much in Fandom, you know.

Sorry, poor, evil NPC fighter pilot. It was blue laser beam to the face time.
