Ok....something else? R5P1 is still active? Only mildly disabled. Well, send

Yeah. Pepperoni-extra cheese...Money is on the chair...yup. Bye. Sorry

His tools retracted and hidden behind fingertips, the Jedi Hacker was
slowly chewing his way out of the net. His space age ceramic teeth were
making good progress when he was interupted. Ick, the droid must have
had a silent 'deadman' alarm. What his current body lacked in strength,
it'd make up for in speed, if he could trick his way loose of the net.
"Mind giving a guy a hand?" One clone pulled a knife and approached as
the others pointed blasters in his general direction, without any real
aim. Giving the Hacker dirty looks, he cut open the net, and was about
to slap cuffs on him when the Hacker made his move. Placing himself in
a gap in the blasters firing pattern, he grabbed the one clone, threw it
towards his companions, and took off. His droid body taking several
glancing hits, he kept running. He'd need backup, and for that he'd
need an open terminal.

The main weapon disabled, the smaller defense cannons were still mostly
working. Opening fire in broad overlaping vollies, most of the small
fighters were easily crippled, just in time for them to slam into the
structure and produce nearly 2000 large fighter size holes. A minor
fraction of the total structure, less than 1% reduction in systems capacity.
Many, however, had fired their torpedoes before being crippled. And the
torpedoes, even without guidence systems, were prone to detonate on
impact. Total nearly 2% tempory system outage. Constructor droids
dispatched for repairs.
Redundent systems were holding together well.
Maybe a dozen fighters survived the first round and made it inside
defences. Hard to tell through interferience. Droid fighters launched
to engage ship to ship, the same improved model the Hacker had used.
The taco fighters were soon cannon fodder. Not knowing, they failed to
take the openings made by there fellows and chase the one real target on
this battle station for a quick kill, a mad astromech droid sheltered
deep inside. And those holes would soon be sealed.
RASSM planet, meanwhile, weathered another ion storm.

Now see, if you were really into the spirit of the thing, you (as a
writer) should have found some way to make the clones all say "Bullshit!"
in unison.

it last night in my sleep. Apparently I used gindrogac - highly unstable!
I put a button on it, yes? I wish to press it, but I'm not sure what will
happen if I do..." - Gune

I was considering having them wipe a little asbestos off of themselves after
exiting the cars, but was not sure of the McQueen knowledge around here....

What McQueen knowledge?
(a usually safe assumption is that I don't know it if it's pop culture)
