Guerillas in the Mist (Rugbyprop87, JM76, Deakr Cueve, Durane)

[RugbyProp87]

It was very crowded on the transport, especially in the canteen. Mathius found it easy to assimilate to the non-Alsakans considering his background; the hardest part of the trip would be concealing his sniper rifle. Actually it would have been harder if he had to pack extra blaster rounds, but this mission called for discretion so Mathius had commandeered some dissolvable poison rounds. Mathius was dressed in peasant robes and was trying to act normal, though in his head he knew the first kill was coming. He was sitting at a table with the rest of his squad; he did not know them but had seen them around the blaster range and the bars. Mathius continued to enjoy his Blumfruit and wondered if these guys knew that this mission was not standard procedure and had come from the civilian higher ups.

Mathius was surprised to learn a couple of hours ago, that he would not learn the name of his target until the squad reached Coruscant. The method of how this information would be given to him was also not disclosed. Mathius had been going crazy on Alsakan, ever since his training was finished, and now in this tin can of a ship, he was getting a little antsy, almost trigger happy.

“Ok, fellas, this mission has to be discrete. Do not mention who we are, or where we come from. I am the leader of this squad; rank has nothing to do with this mission. You will listen to me and if this is not done right it will end the cease fire. We will all be blamed and could be banished or executed as renegades.”

Whether or not eliminating this senator was right was not Mathius’ concern, all he cared about was that first notch on his blaster from a kill in an armed conflict, not some mercenary mission.

 

[Barrill]

Durane's mind was in the clouds. This was his first mission as an Alsakan soldier; he didn't know what to expect. All he knew was that his role was to defend and support his squad leader in "any fashion that he deemed necessary." Didn't seem too hard.

So the man was dressed like a rogueish warrior, dropping most attention but still not to the point of where he looked too casual. He was armed with his blaster, lightsaber, the Force, and most importantly, his keen mind. Durane had a somewhat good feeling about this mission, just a gut feeling.

 

[JM76]

Remiel Vaern had been busy on Alsakan and had barely reached the transport. Unlike the other soldiers, Remiel had brought along more than a sniper rifle, mainly for fire support and emergencies. His long trenchcoat allowed him to conceal his Alsakan battle rifle and combat knife, though his sniper rifle had been disassembled and discreetly placed in an average-looking suitcase. Remiel estimated that, if it became necessary for him to use it, it would take him two minutes to completely assemble the weapon.

Remiel had taken a seat in a lone booth adjacent to the commander of the mission - Mathius Annunaki. Though he was superior in rank, he had no problem surrendering any "privileges" he had held to submit to Mathius' orders and carry out this mission successfully. He would make sure, however, as the senior officer, that everyone here carried themselves with dignity and success. He would let anyone compromise this mission for any of them.

After listening to Mathius' orders, Remiel nodded to himself and glanced around to ensure their privacy. "How long 'till Coruscant?" Remiel asked, somewhat nonchalantly.

 

[RugbyProp87]

"A couple standard hours at most, its a direct refugee flight, just dont get to antzy. I will get the target when we get on the ground at Coruscant, Captain. Dont' the Jedi say patience is the greatest virtue?"

Mathius was whispering to his superior, Captain Vaern. Mathius wondered how the others were doing they seemed ok, but it was hard to tell.

 

[Gabora]

"7200 seconds" Deakr Cueve said after he heard that they would arrive in about 2 hours. Deakr was very good at mathematics.
"what do you guys want to do for 120 minutes"
Deakr's role was clear to him. he was on backfire support. That means that he was there to help if their cover was blown.

"I don't know about you guys but I'm up for a game of Dejarik." He got up and walked to the Dejarik board and turned it on.

 

[JM76]

Remiel smiled at Mathius. He was particularly more cheerful than usually, probably because this mission shouldn't be too difficult. Shouldn't. "If you say so, Commander. I'm not one for Jedi philosophy."

"But as for dejarik, I, for one, must politely decline," he continued. "I'm no good at board games. Wake me when we get to Coruscant..." he added before slouching in his chair and drifting off to sleep.

 

[Matt]

Ooc: Infinity ward will be serving you all with copy right notices.

 

[Barrill]

"Dejarik?"

Durane had never heard of such a game. Back in Dolomar, the only games they play are with their weapons. The man was curious, though, for he was eager to learn how the rest of the world spent their free time.

 

[RugbyProp87]

Mathius nodded, giving his answer of no. He figured he would also catch some sack time as the Captain was doing. Dozing off into a deep sleep Mathius started dreaming about the mission. As the main sun of Coruscant was going down Mathius was looking down the scope at a target, its face covered with a masked was walking into the Grand Concourse of the Senate Building. The conditions were perfect and Mathius took the shot. Fading away Mathius could see through his scope that his target had no idea they were hit. Then darkness as Mathius was completely at bay in sleep.

 

[Gabora]

"Dejarik is a holo game in witch the goal is to kill all of the other persons pieces. The pieces all resembled creatures, real and mythic, from throughout the galaxy, including the Mantellian Savrip, Grimtaash the Molator, Ghhhk, Houjix, Ng'ok, Kintan Strider, K'lor'slug, and the Monnok. this game helps withstand the test of time better than nearly any other game in the galaxy."
Deakr turned on the hologame table and the pieces lit up in full color.

 

[RugbyProp87]

What woke Mathius up was the voice of the 2JTJ Droid announcing that the transport would dock in five minutes.

"All right Gentlemen, saddle up we must make our way to the Under World Inn, it in the lower level of the city."

 

[JM76]

Remiel awoke briskly from his sleep at the sound of the droid at the other end of the intercom.

"Ah, wonderful; it seems we're about to arrive. Are we ready to go, gentlemen?"

 

[Barrill]

With a solemn nod, Durane let his leader know he was ready. So they were here; as soon as he stepped out of the ship, the mission would begin. Making sure his weapons were concealed under his overcoat, the man stood up.

 

[RugbyProp87]

Mathius grabbed his bags straightened his robes and made sure the Captain was awake. After everyone was ready they made their wayt to the run down motel, in the Lower Level of Coruscant. This is where the slime of the Queen of the Core lived, no one answered questions and if they did they received a pleasantly violent surprise. Mathius headed in the to the motel and went to settle witht he keeper on room arrangements.

 

[Gabora]

"All right lets do this" Deakr said as he got up and stretched his arms.
"So what's the plan, Privet?" He said to Mathius.

 

[RugbyProp87]

"First off thats Corporal, not private and I am in command of this expedition. Secondly, on this mission we do not use ranks unless otherwise specified. Remeber gentleman we are not only soldiers, but also intelligence officers for this mission so be quiet."

Mathius was moving his eyes between the Corporal and Private, he knew the Captain wouldnt blow the mission, but he was nervous about the youngsters.

"Alright, Reimel and Durane will conduct some recon, on the Senate Building. Try to see if you can estimate guard movements if any and what kind of security they have for Senators who are entering the building. Cueve and I will sit this one out and await for any messages. Understood?"

Mathius awaited the squads answer.

 

[Barrill]

Durane gave Mathius a quick nod to show his understanding. It seemed like an easy enough task; it would just require patience and keen foresight. Two of Durane's best assets. He looked to his partner to see if his partner was sharing the same confidence as himself.

 

[Gabora]

"Understood 'corporal'" Deakr said neutrally. He may be the same rank as him but Deakr has been a corporal for longer. therefor he had more authority.
"Who exactly is our target.?"

 

[JM76]

Remiel understood his mission; he was ready. He met Durane's glance with an equally confident grin and dropped his own sniping equipment near the wall. The Miraluka Captain didn't think it would be necessary for this mission.

"Ready for any sort of recon," muttered Remiel.

 

[RugbyProp87]

Mathius sensed Deakr's cynicism when he said the word Corporal, but rebuking him would make things worse and besides, the mission came first.

"Alright, its 1900 hours Durane and Reimel should get going, I am going to get some food, Deakr stay here grab some sack time or what ever. Gentlemen, we'll meet back here round 0100 hours. Let's head out."

Mathius left the inn and proceeded to a bar about three blocks away.
