Rintonne
It's a quiet day on Rintoone, a planet out in the Outer Rim, not really important in the great scheme of things. But, this planet isn't far off from the ISC's capital world Naboo. And there is an outpost on the planet that's home to pirates that have been a bit of a nuisance here.

Right now, the raider leader is in the command center managing the base, other pirates would be littering the base and the surrounding area, doing likes like keeping watch, some maintenance, or some enjoying some time off. There is a communications array and anti-aircraft emplacement too along with a landed freighter

Might be perfect for a testing ground for for the new droid line he's made, the D3-CG Commando droids. Right now, on the ground the four Cygnus droids would be hiding behind trees, they could see the base, and an entrance, with three guards overlooking it. The Cygnus droids would be armed with a blaster rifle each, spare powerpacks, a vibroknife, as well as a couple concussion grenades and frag grenades.

Soon, this operation will be ready to begin. "Father, awaiting your signal to commence." the droid out in the field confirmed to it's creator.



Meanwhile, Newton Arden has invited the ISC President to a safe location a far distance and a safe ways away from the pirate outpost so that he may watch the demonstration. The Blackwell Executive is wanting to sell his droids for use for the ISC, which in his own mind would make a good addition to the special forces they are wanting to build.

Aboard Newton's ship, there are screens that are monitoring the area and the base, provided via their eyes in the sky multiple Altair units, using their in-built cameras to stream the footage over to the Nobel.

Newton handed President Thorne a datapad with an overview of the droids, showing the chassis and it's features.

"What a fine night for some live testing, right?" Newton would smile. Now he would recap the situation that's going on "Alright, so this is a pirate base that was apparently causing a decent ruckus in the sector. From what I can tell, about two dozen pirates. The attacks originate from here. And soon, four of the new D3-CG 'Cygnus' Stealth droids will make their way to kill the pirate's leader. We will be able to monitor the situation on the monitors." he nodded his head "Any questions before we begin?"
He asked.

It was normally quite difficult to get a hold of Emryc Thorne these days. Between his position as President, the investments in the AMS vaccine, a successful executive council and all his other business ventures, he was a difficult man to pin down. He often sent delegates in his place, but he had made an exception in this case. He had worked with Arden a few times before and had grown to respect the man.

Arden rose rapidly through the Blackwell ranks and Emryc being a board member meant more accessibility to the president. The half Sephi was dressed in a blazer, dress shirt and jeans, opting against the full suit. A shiny chrono glinted at his wrist as always, hair perfectly styled and in place. And of course, there was his expensive and fragrant cologne that always presented a refreshing air to anyone near him.

He took the proffered datapad, silver gaze still on the scene being projected by the birds. He heard Arden’s description of what they were about to see and he said nothing for a moment. Emryc’s jaw tightened slightly as his calculating eyes analyzed the situation.

“Have them go in, capture, and bring out the pirate leader alive without being detected,” The half Sephi said curtly, gaze never leaving the live footage.

Ah, yes. Capturing the pirate leader alive. That makes sense. Newton didn't care at first if the captain lived or died, to Newton, the pirate leader is just criminal scum and a test subject and he just doesn't know it yet. But it is understandable that the ISC President would want him alive as to make him answer for his crimes for justice and all that stuff. And for them to do this to avoid detection would prove the effectiveness in the droids capabilities in case there is any doubt. Which is fine, the droids will make it happen.

Newton would nod, those mission parameters are acceptable. Newton would then address the droids over coms. "You've heard him. Capture the pirate leader alive and without detection." he relayed the orders. "Commence live subject droid demo" And with that, the demonstration would begin.

Newton would look towards the President, who smells mighty refreshing today. A Crispy-E-O Donut droid would then come from into the area and then ask them if they need anything "Hello there good , may I interest you both in some donuts or a cup of coffee?" The Blackwell Executive would then jokingly say "Stealth takes a bit of time, I'd probably take him up on the coffee if you are a coffee person." He smiled. With that, Newton would put his eyes back on the footage, watching his new droids go to work.



With that, the droids would take a peek towards the base, being sure to reveal as little of their frames as possible. Not a big deal though, as their frames have dull black paint that has no chance of reflecting light. They are sure to make as little noise as possible. They see the main building, and two others in front of them. The base has walls, and the north entrance is guarded by three who are patrolling from the walls. There would also be 1 other both on the south, west, and east sides. The droid are also taking note of their patrol routes and their mannerisms. They can see some flaws, namely that pirates on guard duty don't seem worried about threats coming up.

The droids would begin to move along the tree line, taking watching the guards carefully. They would then approach the north-east wall corner. They make little noise and their frames blend in well in the night. With this, they would then stride over closer towards the entrance with their backs against the wall. Once they get over towards the entrance way, the droids would activate their stealth field generators, and after a few seconds would begin to fade from the footage. With that, the droids would take this opportunity to go through the entrance while now cloaked.

The guards see nothing. Now that they are inside the base, they would take cover along a building where there aren't patrols present and crouch down. They would then decloak, reappearing in the footage.

Emryc was impressed when Newton was relatively unfazed by the abrupt change in scenario. This was much more like a real life situation that could have sudden changes in mission orders. If these droids could adapt on a whim, it spoke volumes of their potential on the battlefield.

He glanced over at the droid that offered refreshments, silver eyes flicking over to catch Newton’s smile before looking back at the droid, “Just a caf then,” Emryc almost never ate sugary foods, though he had grown a bit partial to Tiamat’s cupcakes. He looked back at the footage as the caf arrived.

The half Sephi leaned forward and watched curiously as the droids disappeared from the footage.

“Well I’ll be damned,” He muttered quietly to himself. The droids paused, calculated, analyzed before acting. It was methodical and perfectly coordinated. Emryc looked over at Newton, flashing him a rare smile.

“You really are quite impressive, Arden,” He remarked as he took a sip of the caf, “Are you going to bleed me dry for this?” He expected anything that operated this smoothly to cost a fortune. Emryc looked back at the feed with great interest to see what happened next.

"Thank you" he said at the compliment, hearing the ISC President's praise. Newton would take a cup of caf as well from his donut droid. Such handy droids... "I'd be a bad salesman if I didn't try to" he said and smiled as he smiled towards the President. "By the way Mr. President, you can just call me Newton". Newton personally doesn't mind his first name being used most the time.

Newton would take a sip of his caf as he would turn his eyes back to the footage, oh quite a roadblock for them? He would focus on what's going on with the commando droids.



To continue on through the base and to get to the command center, they must make their way past the pirate guards that are on the ground inside the base. There's nine of them in the way, they look like they are talking, but they have rifles in their hands. Still, due to the mission parameters they can't just kill them, they must capture the pirate leader undetected. But still, the pirate rabble are showing themselves to be a troublesome obstacle as due to the limitations on the cloaking device, they can't slip past them within 10 meters or closer.

The droids remained at their position for now, it was a safe spot. They would wait until the cloaking devices would be recharge. One them would take peek and see the pirates that are congregated. That one droid would gesture towards the others it's about to make a move, in order to hopefully break them up without drawing suspicion towards them. That would droid would pick up a rock on the ground, that's half the size of a hand, making sure no eyes are looking towards it, and then throw the rock close-ish to where it would make a impact with the metal. The droid would then pop back out of view so it can hear what's going on.

The pirates were startled by the sound at first, looking every which direction wondering what that was. "What was that?" "I don't know, i don't see anything" Then they would ease up. "Must have been a bird" Then they would dismiss it and just carry on. The droid would peek and it sees that they are still at square one for getting in the command center. The droids don't progress and have try something else....
