Just a Little Cruisin' (mission, me and The Balance)

[disc100]

Three standard weeks ago, the Republic lost communications with the USS Trinity, a Republic cargo ship passing through Hutt Space. Its last transmission suggests it ran into technical problems, and sent out a distress signal. All airwaves have been empty since then. The Republic fears a pirate group has taken control of the ship. It needs some close up recon, and is sending a team of two to search for the ship, and to eliminate the Pirate nuisance. This is considered a medium-priority mission, as the Trinity was moving a prototype-hyperdrive, yet to be fitted to any new ship. Any open hostilities will result in severe reprimandation. Secrecy and subtlety is the key to reclaiming the USS-Trinity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dacen Scrace and another Republic soldier were trying to find the USS Trinity, a Republic vessel that had disappeared from radar and communications. They were stuck in a small lifeboat that could hold 6 men plus a pilot. In deep space, they were running out of power and needed to find the Trinity fast. Their vessel was armed with 2 very small turbolasers, camouflage, and a radar jammer to get in stealthly enough. Hopefully they wouldn't have to use the turbolasers, Dacen didn't want to. They ran out of power and stopped in the middle of space. Dacen near immediatly activated his small helmet light to see.

"Other Republic guy, you ok?" he asked the other soldier.

Dac was trying to calm himself down, this was only a medium priority mission, nothing big to stress about. And then he was with this other man, he did not like being around people he didn't know, it frightened him, ever since he was boy. Then the power went off, just another thing wrong on his list, just great. Then he heard the other man call out to him, responding, he said "Ya, I'm fine, by the way my name is Dac, Dac Johnson, what is yours." This was definetaly going to complicate matters, trying to keep a cool head he remebered about the reserve genrator, if they could get that working, then they could get to the nearst systme and refuel. Again calling out he said, "Try turning on the reserve genorator, then we can go refuel somewhere." It might take awhile for me to trust this man he thought.

Sorry for not making it clear. But part of the mission is actually finding the ship.

((whoops.......so what do we do now?))

 

[Ser Gregor]

You could edit your post, then Balance could edit his. Nothing big. Just to prolong the mission, finding it should take up a nice bit.

 

[disc100]

Dacen listened to Dac Johnson, the other soldier with him and said, "I'm Dacen Scrace. Good idea. I'll get the generator on in just a second." Dacen then turned to the control panel and pressed a button. In just 2 miliseconds, everything turned back on. Then he put his hands on the control stick and turned the ship around back to where they launched, a Republic destroyer that was there for support. Dacen had a holomap to follow but he nearly knew without the map where the ship was. They'd have to try finding the Trinity again after refueling.

 

[The Balance]

Dac was relieved that this man, Dacen, had turned the power back on. He was going to be spending a lot of time with him over the next few days, so he better atleast know his name. He wanted to be friends with Dacen, but didn't know how, to tell the truth he was social akward. Then there was this lost ship they had checked its last known coordinates and everything. This was the last thing he wanted to do, but they had to, they were going Nar Shadda, a source for all criminal knowledge. Dac said to Dacen, "As soon as we get refilled, put your civilian clothes on, were going to Nar Shadda."

 

[disc100]

Dacen acknowledged what Dac said and nodded. "First we'll head back to the Republic vessel we launched from and then we will go to Nar Shadaa. Errr....I don't know how to get there. You're flying to Nar Shadaa from our support vessel." He said to Dac. Dacen would have to trust Dac, as they would be spending alot of days and nights together, either on their small craft, a medium-sized vessel, or a planet.

 

[The Balance]

As soon as they got back to the carrier they refueled their ship. They wanted to head out ASAP incase any trails went cold. Both changing into their civilian clothes, they hopped back into the transport. This time with Dac at thee controls. He followed all of the necesary take off procedures, saluting the captain as they took off. Deep space always filled Dac with wonder and fear, so many possiblities his optimistic side told him, but his pesimistic side told him so many unknowns. And Dac did not like unknowns. He flew the transport to the edge of the orbit, and punched in the coordinates for Nar Shadda, detailing the route to the computer. Then the stars fell back and they were in the peaceful zone of hyperspace. It would be a few hours before they got there though.

 

[disc100]

Dacen was getting bored waiting for the hyperspace to end. He wanted to just get there. He didn't even find the civilian clothes very comfortable. He decided to ask Dac something, "Hey, Dac. Do you trust me?" He personally thought that was a very bad question to ask but he still wondered.

 

[The Balance]

OOC: I'll make his history thursday night, so I'll have to put this on hold until then

 

[The Balance]

OOC: Its up, sorry for delay

Well atleast Dacen was being honest about what was bugging him. But Dac had a troubling history before he joined the academy. His life was full of uncertainty and he was still pretty unsecure. But answering Dacen's question he replied, "You are a fellow member of the republic army, so you have gained their trust, thus gaining my trust. But for me to fully trust you I would like to know more about you. We are going to need to trust each other fully for this mission, because this is a two man team."

 

[The Balance]

Bump

 

[disc100]

Dacen listened to this fellow Republic man, Dac Johnson, intently. "Well, Captain. I am Dacen Scrace as you already know. I'm very intelligent but when tempted, I rush right into battles. I will try not to for this mission. I'm quite strong and with my armor, I can lift up to about 105 pounds." He then said to Dac. Then, realizing his impatience, said, "Are we there yet?"

 

[The Balance]

As Dacen uttered his last words, Dac realized that they drifted out of hyperspace and into Nar Shadda's system. Dac nodded to Dacen, it was good to know about the tactics of the other member of this group. Having no time to tell Dacen about himself all he said was, "Its good to know more about you, and as for your second question, I believe we are here right now, all we have to do is bypass docking protocals and we are through."

 

[disc100]

Dacen did a little dance because they finally made it to Nar Shadaa. "Well, it's about time!" He said, laughing with it. He made one final check to make sure he had all his stuff. "We should get going as soon as we dock, Captain."He said.

 

[The Balance]

Dac and Dacen easily bypassed the docking procedures, mainly for the reason that they had little to hide. As they landed, the landing gears pressed down and held the ship steady, as the ramp lowered, Dac spoke to Dacen, "Information is always moving between different people here, that is why we have come. If some petty pirates have decided to steal a republic ship, then it's a safe bet that the information about the location of the ship is circulating around here somewhere. I believe we should go to a cantina, and try to relieve someone of that information." As he finished his words they were walking down one of the streets just trying to blend in.

 

[disc100]

Dacen really didn't like being out of his armor, but he knew he had to. He listened intently to his leader, Captain Dac Johnson. After, he made a comment, "Yes sir. Where is this cantina exactly?" Still following, he got a call on his portable communicator. It was the ship he started from's captain. The man said that they had to hurry up as there was a storm heading straight for them. "Sir, we have a problem. There is a huge storm heading for our support ship. We have to move fast. It will be there in 12 hours." Dacen told Dac.

 

[The Balance]

"Oh just any old cantina will due as long as it has a sabacc table." He spotted one and walked in, he seated himself down at it. He motioned for the dealer to deal him in and he spoke to Dacen again, "That twelve hour time limit won't be a problem." Then turning to the rest of the table he said, "Any of you know of some interesting happenings." Most of the table stayed silent but one man said, "Those to fellas over there were just talking about some big heist they just pulled off." Dac thanked the man for his help and motioned for Dacen to go check it out. Motioning for the waiter to bring him a drink, now he had to make a decision, fold or raise?

 

[disc100]

Dacen saw Dac's motion of hand and went towards the area he pointed. He found what he thought to be the people and asked, "So, I hear you two pulled off a big heist? Where was it? What did you take?" He knew they would probably leave right after, but he would follow them, nonetheless. He turned to watch Dac. Dacen's leader seemed to be winning at his game as he was yelling 'yes' and 'woohoo' and throwing his hands up into the air.
