"Anyone know of a way I could get out there?" Asks Icarus.
“Sure.” Ralf says. “Put on a suit first. We had an owlin here once, so we had to make a suit…”
”Ah, here it is!” he says, holding up a custom space-suit with slits sewn in for his wings. “It should fit you.”
Icarus puts his hand on his chest, and nano-armor crawls over him, finishing with a helmet with a glowing visor. A massive shield appears on his arm, made of something you have never seen before. The Avengers theme tune plays as this happens. The whole suit is gray, orange and silver, apart from the shield which is as black as the sky around you, and has an emblem of a golden sun on it. "Thank you for the offer, but I have my own. Like I said, I fired myself into the sun to get here. Now, where might I find the door?"
Ralf looks stunned. “…….ah. Right. Well, the door’s right over there.”
Icarus runs over too it. He opens the first door, then locks it behind him. Then he opens the second door, and is sucked into the cold expanse that is wildspace. For a few seconds no one can see him, not even out the ships windows, but then he zooms past the front of the ship, crashes into a small asteroid with his shield in front of him, and completely obliterates it. He seems fine after doing so, and circles round to strike another.
Chan has his face pressed against a window. "I wonder what that shield is made of!"
Icarus flies over to the window that Chan is pushing his face against. He taps his head (Helmet) "Let's talk!" He shouts over the roar of the ships thrusters that you can't hear from inside the ship.
"Like this?" Chan asks telepathically.

*Could we skip time to outside the asteroid field, or should I make some checks as we get deeper into the asteroid field?*
*You will have to wait for Nothic, sorry*
*Sure.*
The asteroids get bigger and bigger as you progress through the field, but Icarus handles them with ease. As you approach the outpost, they dwindle away until you’re in open space once again.
As we approach the outpost, I send out the following commands. "All mechanics, run diagnostics on the defense systems. Man all cannons, and be at the ready in case things get hairy."
A gnome runs up to Truff, holding a centaur-sized suit. He pauses suddenly, and looks up, his mouth forming a question, and falls to the ground, dead. Around you, one by one, the crew begins to drop.
Then, you hear the scream, a screeching cry that fills your head, discordant and ugly. It starts quiet, but grows louder and louder until it’s unbearable.
*make an intelligence save, people who aren’t here are assumed to have succeeded*
Chan isn't near Truff, but here is the save:

"What is our current distance from the Githyanki outpost?" Asks Truff.
"Still quite a way to go." Replies Ralf *Ask Nothic for further details*
*Sorry guys. I’m on vacation right now and have a lousy connection, so I can’t be on much. Drummer and Yondor, feel free to take this subplot wherever you’d like.*
”About a two-hour’s journey now.” One of the navigators replies.
*Ok, Thanks, will do :)*

The ship continues through the fog, people falling down all around you. Icarus comes back on deck, not daring to fly through the fog alone. It takes a while, but suddenly the fog clears, and to the ships left an asteroid appears. But this isn't any old asteroid. It's a perfect 10 square mile cube of rock, covered with Weapons of all kinds. And as if they've been waiting for you, every ground to air laser is aimed at the twinkling stars. And they fire.
"Activate the defensive flank cannons!" Orders Icarus as the Prismatic wall shield is turned to swiss cheese.
"Activating." Replies the ships AI from above. Thousands of mini lasers appear from the ships hull, and they shoot lasers that intercept the ground to air blasts coming from the outpost.
"Fire plasma broadsides!" Orders Icarus again. "And Truff, Zalius, Chan, anyone, man the Cannons!!"
The plasma broadsides activate, Firing bolts of plasma the size of Cargo ships at the Outpost.
"Prepare the one man shuttles, we're going in."
