How boring to be a bullet in peacetime. (Open to whoever can find a way in)

[Number-75]

Seth was near the hangars that had contained what may be ships when he heard the sound of feet moving. He stopped the Wolves and checked his map. There was a line of troopers marching what appeared to be normal people on the other side of the building he was next to. He went prone in a nearby bush and motioned his droids to hide in the building.

He held his breath as the line of troopers passed him, escorting....... children. He made sure his speakers were muted as he swore. It was just like the Imperials to resort to using children for war. Activating his helmet's built in binocs, he shuddered as he saw the modifications that were done to them. They were augmented, all of them. Most of the augments looked like they would probably kill if removed. He couldn't be sure unless he had notes. The last of the troopers and children passed him and after a few seconds, he stood up, the droids rolling out of the door and forming around him. "Those damn Imps. Using children is never justifiable." Suddenly, on his live map, a dot pulled itself away from the line and started to make it's way towards a building near his position. Swearing, he hid himself and the droids again and watched as the child enter the building on the map.

After the child entered the building, Seth watched as something spark and cut through the roof. After the sparking stopped, he made his way to the building and climbed up the roof, sending the Wolves inside the building and setting their controller to the Hawkeyes. Looking around, he found a cut open roof that revealed a lift shaft with a rappel line. His frown became more intense at the sight and he grabbed the line and slid down.

Moments later he landed on the bottom of the lift. He spotted an open door and heard voices. Taking out a pistol, he quietly entered the underground hangar, and swore. All around the underground hangar were these giant robots. In the center was an unhelmeted Mandalorian and a girl. He heard the Mandalorian mention how they were rescuing the children. He spoke up, a hint of rage in his voice. "You knew about this?! And you never told the authorities or anybody?" As he yelled at the Mandalorian, the girl managed to get into the robot and it begun arming itself. Seth swore again and directed his attention to the girl. "Look, I don't know what you've been told, but we're not here to hurt or attack this base. In fact, this base has suffered more damage from those that guard it then us!"

 

[Saint]

This Captain was an idiot. Norman wasn't going to sit here and explain anything else to him. Like how you use a generic term like 'package' so that when the enemy hacks your comm lines (which obviously they had), they still don't know what the feck you're talking about. And at a time like this, was he -really- going to gripe about semantics considering the situation they had found themselves in? Really? Is that seriously what's going through that officer brain of yours? Norman closed his eyes briefly, inwardly shaking his head.

The Sergeant was about to answer the question asked of him, like what to do for a distraction, but then the Captain went on to contradict himself and tried to give Norm another order. He just wasn't making any fecking sense!! Then he said to switch comms, but to transmit on the current frequency. How the feck was he suppose to do that? Regardless, Norm and his squad left the Sith Captain and his men, heading out to complete their newly-assigned task, blowing the generators up.

As was the case with most facilities, the generators were out away a bit from the main buildings. Norm and the two fire-teams of Stormtroopers he had with him began to make their way through the facilities, closing and opening doors, hatches, and such at will with Mistral's tacpad. It was a handy device, to be sure. Over an internal frequency specific to his squad, Saint instructed Charlie and Delta to bring the bird out by the generators, no further than a half a click.

He didn't want attention drawn to their activities by an incoming shuttle. Their Urban Commando shuttle was armed to the teeth, as it should be for hostile insertion and extraction. Once they emplaced the explosives about the generators, he and the other two fire teams would meet up with Charlie and Delta to go secure one of the hangars. The Captain in all his wisdom never said which one, so Norm figured they'd start with the first one. Numero Uno.

Mistral moved with the others as he got them to the hanger and then the girl took off. Quickly he shouted but it didn't work as he turned around to his men. "Get them loaded and taken home, I am going to get the girl." Quickly Mistral took off as his men loaded the ship and took off towards the far side of the planet away from the Prowler in orbit. They were going to come around on the opposite end of the planet and head towards Veronia as Mistral switched through the com channels and found the hole Hibirar cut. Quickly Mistral grabbed the mandalorians line and made his way down speaking into the comlink to 113. "I don't like this kid but I want you too kill the person in the room that isn't in mandalorian armor. We need to find out how he and his men found out about this." As Mistral got to the bottom he looked out and remained back seeing the the door open and hearing voices as he leaned against the wall next to the door and held his dagger. Slowly Mistral held it up and reflected the light as he looked at the Mandalorian and one other person speaking into his comlink to 113. "Follow no other orders but my own over."

Howard had some time to react as the droid dropped down to its knee and was about to begin firing. He moved quickly on his feet, dodging behind a wall for some cover. This must have been one of the two that had come to the building, the other being cloaked and possibly a sith if he was unlucky. He imagined that this was some sort of diversion for the other person so he would probably need to move fast.

"Robot, I'm coming out." He announced as he rounded the corner and charged towards the droid, his now activated energy shield protecting his body from any shots that may have came towards him. His movements were quick as he closed the distance and finally jumped upwards and flipped forward, His hands coming down upon its smooth head as he spun around slightly, landing behind it with its back facing him. A two foot long blade jutted out from his arm as he pulled it back and punched forwards, attempting to disable the thing in a single strike.

The secondary dropship dropped electronic Jamming chaff to add a complete black out on the area anyone who didn’t know how to compensate for it there comms wouldn’t work, and unshielded electronics would be forced to shut down, (droids, turrets, computers. Etc.) due to electromagnetic interference in the air, blocking Mistrals com order to 113. As several Special Ops mandalorians Dropped out the back of the vessel throwing grenades into the minefield detonating the field before the touched down using there jet packs to land safely. The team setting up an extraction point as the second dropship formed up with the other one providing close air gunship support. there weapon systems hot, Ion canons lasers and Missile launchers primed.

Hibirar ignored the man who yelled at him when he noticed 113 Run for the Mecha “Frack, Well talk about it later!” he yelled as he put his helmet back on and the cloak field re-activated on its own he sprinted at full speed towards the mech and climbed up to where the cockpit was. ‘Emergency release, emergency release, there!’ he thought as he opened the panel and pulled the release opening the cockpit Hibirar brought his side arm up set to stun and fired two shots at 113. “I’m Sorry.” He said catching her as she slumped down unconscious.

He then shut off the field so Seth could see him again. “Look we can help each other get out of here and we can discus what’s next and explain our stories to each other then or you can try and kill me possibly injuring the girl in the process here and now but be killed by my men out side, if you survive your call, and I much rather get out of here alive, and in one piece, now hit that Mech lift switch.”

((the interference isn't determinant as soon as out of Chaff field the interference will not affect electronics anymore.))

Boo was shock by how fast the man moved. while he jumped over him, Boo dropped his pistol and went for his vibro blade. Keeping his shields in front of him. The man now had a blade and was moving in for an attack. Boo leapt backwards a few feet to get away from him. This man was something else and he was not sure if he could take him. Boo then detected something was in the air before he lost all power and shut down.

Cyrus was starting to think that the other man left the building. He had searched a few rooms finding and feeling that there was no one else. He was also trying to get a hold of Boo or anyone else. After the whole building went out of power. Then he released that all the power was out, that meant an EMP was set off. This was not good then he was going to have to move and take out the threats as fast as he could. Boo would be out of action now so the man he was fighting would have to be the first to go.

Cyrus then went and jumped down to the first story floor. He was still invisible and he could still see what was happening in the room that was now almost pitched black. He had both saber in hand ready to activate them when he needed them. Then he saw Boo on the floor and the man a few feet away from it.

Unaware of the events that were transpiring underneath the surface, the four Hawkeyes continued to observe the base. Suddenly, a ship appeared, firing ECM into the atmosphere. Aware that the ECM would be bad for their long term existence, the four Droids immediately scrambled and left the operation field, flying out of range of the ECM. After ensuring they were safe, the four droids began trying to signal their owner and leader of new intel, only to realize that the ECM was interfering with their signal. Silently, they resumed gliding in a circle, awaiting for the ECM to drop.

Meanwhile the four Wolves shuddered as the ECM hit them. The ECM failed to shut them down, but it took out their communication systems. After receiving no instructions from their Hawkeye ops leader, the four of them activated a standby protocol and awaited for the return of Seth.

Seth swore as the live feed from the Hawkeyes cut out and turned to static. A quick routine system scan revealed that everything but the communication system on the suit was working. He turned his attention to the mandalorian who was demanding he hit the lift. He moved in front of the still, a frown on his face underneath the helmet. "I'm not moving until I get a satisfactory answer. Why did you hide the presence of a facility like this from the proper authorities and decide to operate a raid by yourself." He kept his pistol in hand, loosely at his side. "Don't lie to me. "

Everything had gone dark for Howard. He couldn't see anything aside from the falling of the droid to the floor. If it was dead he couldn't tell. Behind those dark Caramel lenses that covered his eyes he could see nothing but faint light. It was like everything had gone blank and he didn't know why.

A moment later there was light, LED's inside his sunglasses lit up as his systems came to life. A green bar popping up and strings of code beginning to type out on the one lens as everything came up running diagnostics on his various systems. Arms Green, Legs Green, Eyes Green. About everything was good except for the Cochlear implants which had shorted out and soon enough his vision was completely restored.

'What happened?'

His mind wandered around the thought slightly as he flexed his fingers in front of him. He wasn't sure what it was but it would be best if he left. He moved closer to a window and shattered it with a solid elbow to its surface before jumping through it and landing on the concrete ground outside before beginning to walk away. He needed to get moving.

 

[Arm514ve]

The LZ team saw howard and noticed he didn’t look like a Sith so they held there fire initially Identify yourself? Red team de-cloaked next to Howard and grabbed him, and carried him towards the dropships. “He’s been giving the Sith a hard time lets take him with us I’m sure Admiral Parijir will have some questions for him.”

Hibirar frowned at the mans defiance in this type of situation. “The ECM will only last for twenty more minutes and after that Imperial systems will come back online and it’ll be harder to escape, for both of us. I am the proper authorities, and all we knew about the BDS technology initially until our insertion and we saw all the kids, this was supposed to be a silent insertion until things started exploding. If you want me to spill everything I will but right now our survival should be priority, I can fill you in on the operation after were out of Sith Territory.” Hibirar said keeping his guard up and leaning 113 back into her seat so he could engage Seth if need be. “Please hit the switch." He said re-cloaking getting ready for the ride up.

 

[spartan 094]

Cyrus saw the man reactivate and run out the window. He smirked at that. He started to make his way to the window and notice Mandalorian troopers helping him up. Mandalorians here. He then saw the drop ship and more of them moving around. This was not a fight he was going to get in. Cyrus decided then to take the tunnels and head to the hangers to a ship and get out of here and try to get some back up to retake the base if need be. Cyrus used his light sabers to cut his way through the doors making his way to hanger one.

 

[Number-75]

Seth's eyes narrowed. "That is satisfactory. I shall question you again later, but for now, mutual survival is more important." He pushed the button and the pair raised to the surface. "OK, I can't exactly see you at the moment, but I have a ship. If you can drop me off, that'd be appreciated. I'll meet up with you up elsewhere. Preferably in a different system."

The lift made it to the surface, in the area outside the building they had entered from. Seth held up a hand to stop them. "Hold on. I'll be right back" Seth entered the building and let out a whistle. "Deltas! On me!" The four droids activated and immediately assembled around Seth. The five of them made their way back to the field where the lift came up from. "OK, now where are your 'friends'."

 

[Cisco]

'Oh.....Damn.....'

Howard's eyes widened as he became aware of a group of Mandalorians de-cloaking right next to him moments before grabbing him and dragging him over in some direction which apparently was evacuation. He didn't know whether to curse himself for misfortune or be happy he wasn't being dragged away by Imperials, rather having the much nicer Mandalorians to deal with. Nicer by comparison in any case.

'It looks like I'm not going to get paid for this.' He mulled over the thought to himself as he made sure not to resist the Mandalorians, Allowing them to remove his weapons and whatnot if they chose to.

 

[Arm514ve]

As soon as the lift reached the top the mandalorians holding the LZ spotted the Mech and saw Hibirar’s IFF and the second Prowler dropship moved over and began securing the BDS suit to the vessel for lift back to the Frigate in orbit. Hibirar de-cloaked and pulled 113 out of the suit and handed her to the two members of blue team in the dropship as they got her secure.

The support team with red finished loading Howard onto there drop ship and then removed any weapons he had on him. as they all pilled in the rear hatch closing and moving to form up with the Hibirars dropship the ECM dispersing now most electronics started to come back online and basic communications were coming back up. “Echo 419 to command were all on board and Echo 119 reports the suit is secured shall we pull out.?”

“Hibirar here 419 go we’ll be right behind you.” Hibirar said as he watched the other Prowler dropship leave for orbit. “Get on we’ll take you to your vessel also meet us at these coordinates after your escaped.” Hibirar said pulling out a data disk with coordinates on it and tossed it to Seth. “I’ll answer your questions then.”

 

[Number-75]

Seth grabbed the disk and stuffed it into his backpack, getting onto the ship with his four droids. Before entering, he pulled out a small controller, flipped the lid, and depressed the button.

Meanwhile a beeping noise came from his bike for all off one second. It had been taken by a squad of guards and two of them were currently trying to get it start when the beeping noise came out. One of them shot back at the noise, leaving the others to stare at him strangely. "What was that?" The other guards shrugged and continued to look at him strangely. "I didn't hear anything Bill, it's probably you." The guard shook his head and backed up a bit. "No, I swore I heard something. We should stop messing with this thing, we don't even know what we're doing." The other guard sighed and stood up/ "Look, for the last time, there is nothing wrong with this bike! Now quit whining and help me start this thing." That was the last thing the guards heard before the bike detonated, sending shrapnel all over the place while cooking off the ammo, sending bullets flying everywhere, punching through armor, and sending a small fireball into the air.

Seth watched in satisfaction as the fireball raised into the air, unaware of the fact that he had just killed six guards. He sighed as he resigned himself to the fact that he would have to build himself another bike before getting into the ship.

Sitting down, he sent the Hawkeyes back to the ship before speaking up. "My ship is in the forest to the east. Drop me off there. Don't betray me."

 

[Arm514ve]

Hibirar nodded "Pilot you catch that?"

"Yes sir I think I have it. detecting a small energy source in that direction be there in sixty seconds, its not that far." the pilot said as the vessel could be felt heading the way directed.

"We'll wait there for two days before we head back into Mandalorian space." he said as the cabin light switched from red to green and the aft compartment door opened and revealed below the clearing where Seths vessel was. Hibirar tossed out a repel line. "I guess see you soon."

 

[Saint]

As Saint and his men reached the generators, Norman looked over his shoulder and recognized a Mandalorian dropship. "Hold up an' take cover," he ordered his troopers as they moved around behind the generators and out of sight from the main facilities where they had just left only moments ago. Quietly to his two team leaders with him, Norm remarked, "Tha' Captain an' his men must've been overrun. No way the nine of us can go in there an' re-take th' place."

His two team leaders nodded in agreement. Although their Sergeant had the nickname of 'Suicide', they knew that he wouldn't randomly lead their men to a senseless death. Nope, not their Sarge. Norm spoke up again, interrupting their thoughts, "We'll wait 'til they're gone, then move out to th' bird." With team leaders nodding their acceptance of his orders, Norm and his Alpha and Bravo teams simply watched on as the Mandalorians made off with the package.

Once the ships were out of the area, Saint and his two fire teams moved out. It was about half a click to their vessel. When they got their, Norm was briefed by his commo guru about what had transpired at the main facility. How for a time, all communications were extinguished and such. Saint gathered up his team leaders and they went over a lay-out of the main facility they had just left.

Coming up with a plan to make a hasty-sweep, the squad mounted up in their ship and began to head back towards the facility. "Weapons hot," Norm called out after instructing the pilot to bring it into Hangar bay One. They would do a couple of fly-bys first, just to make sure that they weren't engaged before taking them all in. As they lifted off, ETA was less than three minutes...
