Dealings in Bad Faith

[Roman Antilles (TL8)]

.

Roman stalked the edge of the rooftop, peering down below to see the street. It was dead quiet at this time of night, not a single soul wanted to be caught in the city's industrial district at these hours. Doing so put yourself at significant risk, considering all the ruffians and transients that would roam when moonlight glistened. His figure was grabbed in shrouds of Marauder robes, their ebony colors blending with the darkness around them, making him appear more spirit than flesh.

Carefully glancing over the top edge, he lept down onto the cold street, before advancing in a low position behind a large commercial dumpster. Roman grabbed both Pugio blaster pistols in his hands as his eyes momentarily dimmed and channeled the sinister energies pulsing through his veins. A prepared force power, veil of the world shimmered around him and coated his contours with an unnatural dark glow. It almost blending and shifted as if his body was made out of shadows than blood.

Chuckling, he advanced towards the open freight door, peering inside to several workers and assembly droids that were inside. "Ready?" He asked towards his companion.

Jay went ahead of his time and obtained a piece of card for their audit.

"If I can steal them, then anyone can."

The empty street's freight door was calling with it's presence. No wonder these penetration tests need to be done, otherwise Czerka Corps could not be the corporate every business wants to become. Despite knowing every single tech with cutting edge development, they still always made it to the next level. One step ahead. Obviously, tremendous resources stood at their disposal. Tonight even the Sith Order.

Underneath his jacket Jay rested his hand on his waistline above his Quickdraw blaster pistol. The straps around his thigh that held the holster were completely concealed.

"Ready."

Roman nodded, his golden sulfur eyes barely visible through the slits of his marauder helmet as he turned back towards the Workers. Their mission was simple: They were going to raid and disrupt this factory, considering it belonged to a rival of their client, the Czerka Corporation paid handsomely for their protection. The Sith Order was great, but the men needed to eat and also afford the finer things in life, something which a few credits would go nicely towards.

Moving to the side, Roman peered beyond the scope of the freight door and glanced inside, his attention missing nothing as he scanned through the warehouse. Workers were innocent of their affiliation, likely labor men/women surviving off simple wages. However, those guards, they needed to be taken care of. Pointing the pugio blaster, he took two shots, unfortunately both of them missed.

Oh kriff...

Roman muttered underneath his breath, their cover blown as the workers scattered due to the sound of blaster fire and more of the guards were alerted to their presence. Clearly, not an ideal move by the aspiring Sith Acolyte. "Cover me!" He howled before utilizing the prepared force speed to dash to a new point besides some crates. The shots came forth, striking a pillar of boxes near him and having them topple onto his side. "BlargH!" He stumbled, hitting the ground and igniting his lightsaber almost instantly.

He hoped his teammate would have better success.

Going in with Roman's tactic wasn't the stealthy way, but maybe exactly that's why it could surprise them. Is it not? The guards that opened fire at Roman were prepared.

Jay pulled his pistol simultaneously with Roman. Going inside and watching Roman miss all his shots was hilarious, if not completely hectic, Jay would laugh his ass off on the range if someone did this, but there was no time for jokes because the guards shot back.

The Quickdraw started spreading death as it's trigger got pulled twice. Before the guards could think of taking cover Jay put two bolts in each of them.

"Brief me on rules of engagement. Are we killing everyone or just the guards?"

Spoiler: DICE

Rolling to take out the guards who fired at Roman (success)

Roman took further cover, his crimson lightsaber erupted in his grip as he exchanged the Pugio blaster for it. Whom was he kidding? He was a sith, he needed his primary weapon. Guards began to fire in his direction, despite two of them being slaughtered by his Overseer companion. The Sith gave Jay a nod of approval, this was the second mission the two had worked together on, the first included slaying Jedi Scum in Rebel territory.

Twirling his blade needlessly, he peered from the other side of the crates and glanced at his enemy; A snarl coming to his lips as emotions filled with murderous rage. Placing weight on his right leg he dashed forwards several meters, his body and muscles augmented by the force as he closed the distance and took his left hand to bash the rifle of his opponent to the side. The ensuing melee struggle was brief but well characterized in Roman's utter brutality. The rifle spewed to its side, the soldier left with his guard completely open as eyes were locked wide open for eternity, the horizontal slash bisecting the man into two.

Growling in a low audible, Roman shifted his targets towards the others who now had to contend with both he as well as the Overseer opening fire on them.

As the guards fell one by one the establishment's alarms went off. Red lights illuminated the hallways and blaring sirens annoyed everyone. These were so loud they probably created rather more panic, instead of scaring away the intruders.

Jayscreec quickly passed by the guards and looked for their next stop. He put a bolt into one of the running employee and stepped over her. "Where is the control room?" He gritted his teeth like an animal, in attempt to prove his cruelty and gain information. The woman refused to reply first, but Jay leaned closer. "Where the kark is the control room?"

To escape the situation Jay's victim pushed the blaster pistol away and jumped him. Maybe it wasn't just some sort of scientist? She fought hard and managed to tear down Jay's comlink, completely jamming his communications with his partner.

The Quickdraw took her life.

"Enough is enough."

When securing the body Jay noticed the woman's datapad. He inserted it into a nearby terminal and killed the alarm system.

Spoiler: DICE

Cutting the alarms (barely success)
