From a distance, the sheer lights of the gala could be seen twinkling like stars, a stark contrast to the pitch black of the night sky. The planet's natural beauty was wasted during this hour but Nayel imagined the view from the heights of the building alone made up for the perceived loss.
Not that he knew how the scenery would look before the party-goers, but he could imagine. The smell of expensive liquor, the sickening stench of perfume and the light chatter of politicians and nobles interacting with each other. The soldier simply looked away from the window and turned to the rest of Gorgon, seated and prepared for the mission. Dangerous men but he couldn't have asked for anybody else. . .except perhaps for someone who knew how to cook.
He imagined that good food would be on short hand very soon. Bringing up his tablet, he tapped the side of his helmet, notifying the rest of them to tune into the squad's internal channels. "Two, Five; heads up, this is your stop. Four, take us in slow and steady." The craft seemed to have lost its speed upon his orders, he couldn't tell: he didn't have the natural pilot's touch.
Tapping the screen of his tablet, the squad leader singled out the two operatives they were dropping off- Two was the oddball of the group, both with her gender and her background. While everyone was comfortable slugging rifles and grenades, she probably found it easier to trust in a good saber and the abstract concept of the Force. Nayel wasn't a believer, and dismissed it as old folk stories. He had much more important things to mull over than the purpose of such stories. He also didn't trust her to keep her cool- the Sith were notorious for their battle rage, so she was highly likely to put the team in danger than everyone else in the team. He wasn't exactly lying when he said he didn't appreciate her presence though: the reputation of the Sith alone was often a good reason for most individuals to cut loose and flee the scene.
And Five? Five was mandalorian, and followed his warrior's code. Predictable in a fashion, reliable. And also the grumpy one of the group. "We'll run this through one last time, so don't screw this up: One of the local House lord of the planet is hosting some sort of big gala, inviting all sorts of folks from around places. Even got some high-up government people from Aldera. We don't know the names and we don't need to know, not that we've been given the luxury. The point is!" He said, as the ship slowed its descent, the bay doors lowering to a grassy field. The draft from the engines made ripples in the sea of grasses, stirring the the edge of the woods at the distance.
"You make your way to the A.O, kill as many posh nobles as you can and then bug out to the coordinates. We'll pick you up last, so be prepared for to 'discourage' the curious." Nodding to the open doorway, they watched as the operatives disembarked to an open field ringed by thick woods. "Good luck." With that, the ship took altitude and blazed off, very soon a dark figure in the night sky. Just like that, they were gone. Gorgon Two and Five would find themselves deserted and two kilometers to the area of operations, north-west of their position. Between them? A good slog through wooded hills and light shrubbery.
And of course, because even for a planet which had forgone military action, they still had a shred of common sense: which entailed tight patrol routes, checkpoints and a small squad of the Republic's finest. No one said it was going to be an easy mission.
OOC: This is the first of Gorgon Team's mission threads. The maximum amount of players for the thread is 4 players, of which two have already been taken up by Gorgon Team. This means the Republic can send at most, 2 other players to attempt to stop the mission. No meta, no godmodding (If there is proof that any Gorgon personnel has meta/godmodded, they will be disqualified from the team immediately.) as I will be personally monitoring the progress of this thread. As always, this is a DEATH ENABLED thread, with CAPTURE allowed. As another note, the operatives will have entered UNDETECTED at the beginning of the mission, so the Republic characters CANNOT know immediately that Gorgon operatives are on site. What can happen however, is for the Republic characters to expect an assault/infiltration squad and therefore prepare for such an assumption. Other than that, anything that happens to Gorgon team after this is on the operatives themselves (i.e discovery, death etc.) [With exception of possible meta/godmodding].
That said, good luck, happy hunting and try not to disappoint your factions! @Ecclessey @Gian Greydragon , this is your thread. Do not disappoint [/fancybox4]
