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

[Tsar Fire]

She was starting to walk back into the facility as the officer ordered her, increasingly confused by the agitation of all present, when she detected something.

Shots. Running sort algorithm. Auditory pattern: Silenced weapon: Accessing database: Probable employment: Sniper: Definition "Sniper": A marksman, who kills at long range: Definition "Kill": Terminate, or destroy; to remove life: Accessing Command network: Status: Standby: Launch orders Query: Denied.

113 turned to the men in the clearing. This was part of her chores; when something bad happened she had to make sure no objectives were terminated.

"Please, everyone, return inside; there is a marksman nearby and a general stations alert. It is contrary to regulations to say outside at this time."

For her part, 113 moved to the door and punched it open, then waited so that she would block any line of fire as they went back inside. If they went back inside. People were being very odd today.

This drill didn't make sense either, and she still didn't have a scramble order.

 

[Saint]

As the Umbaran Sith addressed some civilian-looking fellow, Norm laid a hand on the girl's shoulder and spoke softly, "Keep b'side me." He wasn't overly authoritative in his tone, finding no need to be so. With only half of his squad with him, he gave a small finger signal for them to form a small perimeter about the girl and the Sith. They weren't expecting any trouble, but so far, Norm had been entirely unimpressed with the security protocol and measure that were being employed by this... facility.

A loud crashing noise was suddenly heard towards the area of one of the main gates to the place. Saint couldn't see it, but immediately he gave the command to go weapons hot, although giving such an order was entirely unnecessary considering his squad. Only a moment later, shots were fired and an alarm began to sound, denoting the presence of an intrude. Upon falling back to the door, one of the troopers tried to open it and upon discovering it was locked, was about to blast it open when the young girl with them simply punched the thing from off its hinges.

Was she quoting regulations? He could hardly believe it. Suddenly it hit him, THIS was the super-soldier that they were sent to escort back with the Umbaran Sith. Krath was she a young and shapely thing. Grabbing her attention as he guided her chin with two gentle fingers so as to lock eyes with her, Saint spoke directly to her, "Whatever happens, you stay with me, an' do as I say. Got it?" He wasn't about to lose her on this mission. He knew how little the Sith appreciated failure.

Cyrus was angry about how the other imperial officer talked down to him and told him how to do his job. He respected him for having the balls to talk to a Sith that way. But he was not going to do anything about it once the alarms went off. Cyrus was then surprised by how the storm trooper came out of nowhere. He was also not going to get behind some little girl and have her protect him. He was surprised by how strong she was by kicking down the door.

Cyrus then contacted his storm troopers. “All Troopers we are under attack, this is not a drill kill all enemy units you come across. If you can capture one of them for later do so.” He was not worried about his troopers. They were elite units from the 501st and they would split up into four squad of six troopers in each. He then contacted Boo. “Start to make your way to my location as fast as you can Boo.” He then went to face the others. “Ill be leaving to do my job, Trooper stay with the girl and follow the captain orders; Do not let anyone have her she is worth more to us then your life. You there also” He pointed at the man he tried to stop ealier. "You will follow this trooper and this officer intill we know who side you are on and what you are doing here." He then made his way to where the shots were first fired.

Howard had continued on from the courtyard he had been in further into the compound and into an office building. It was a sort of office for filing paper work, that kind of thing. The bottom floor mostly had cubicles in it and the second and top floor had rows of offices. He had made his way up into the second floor to get into the offices. The building itself was mostly unoccupied for some reason. Probably because of that alarm.

He stopped suddenly and paused. Coming from almost the opposite side of the building he had come up he could hear numerous people come through the doors. One of them yelling commands as they were told to split up into two groups to search the first and second floors of the building.

'This just isn't my day....'

He pressed himself against the wall and peaked out from the corner, listening as a group of about three soldier ascended the stairs. As they slowly came into view he noted They seemed to be wearing small energy shields on their wrists. He quickly went back behind the wall and hung the blaster rifle from his belt from its clip.

'Those things are rather rare, didn't think soldiers had them.'

He pulled out his pistol from his holster, looking it over quickly as he checked to make sure it was loaded. Thankfully it was also silenced so he could hopefully do this without kicking up too much of a fuss. He took another peak out They seemed to be checking the rooms one by one. He would wait, wait as they made it up to the corner he was around.

He held his gun up close as he listened and stood a bit back. Slowly they got closer and closer. Within moments they were just around the corner. The moment he seen white he took a few quick few steps towards the trooper and lifted his leg up, booting the trooper across the hallway and crashing out the window all the while turning the corner. The troopers were caught surprised like a deer in the headlights while Howard made his next move, raising his gun and firing once, the bullet going through the farthest troopers visor, killing him. The last and now closest trooper received a swift punch to the face that laid him flat out on the ground, quickly beginning to scramble backwards along the ground in fear.

He walked forward and pinned the trooper down with his foot. "Just my job." He slid his foot up and pressed down quickly, crushing the poor mans trachea, leaving him unable to make a sound, let alone breathe.

 

[Arm514ve]

The Mandalorians finished cutting into the building and after blue team entered the building cloaked and made it a few feet into the room noticing the man attacking the white jobs, they continued for the Lifts hoping to find a way down to the main research area, and hanger. avoiding making contact with patrols. A few seconds latter a large explosion Occurred taking out the facilities link to the outside world.

Hibirar finished cutting into the tower and signaled red team to move in the sniper moving in first while he followed in behind after four went in the three of them looked around the room finding it clear and cloaked shortly after a small group of white jobs entered. and his team sneaked out of the room from behind the troopers making there way for Mistral. "Red were securing there test subject beyond all else we need to get her out of here the BDS data is now secondary. he said to his team via helmet coms."

 

[Syn]

Mistral moved as he looked at Norman and spoke looking at him and the girl as he spoke seeing her strength and he kneeled down. "What are you doing trooper? Responsibility for the girl is mine, now get ready to move we are getting to the dormitories and getting the other girls. Then we are going to secure this facility. Is that understood?" Quickly Mistral stood up as he looked down at the girl and two of his men came running up whispering in his ear. "Commander we are being hunted. Slowly Mistral nodded as he spoke keeping the sith acolyte in front of him. "Then it is just like home boys. Protect the girl." Slowly Mistrals men nodded as they took out their swords and daggers. Quickly Mistral looked at the girl as he motioned for her to follow and spoke into a comlink. "I want all ways to the dormitories except the path I am one locked down and reroute control to me. We are locking this place down." With a look Mistral was handed a tacpad from one of his men and he closed blast doors along the way. and activated defenses as he walked with them. "Trooper have your men begin a grid search and anything they find try to identify before you kill it. I want to know who is attacking us. You sith I want you to use those powers of yours to watch our backs. As for you little lady I want you to keep close to us understood?"

Mistrals men slowly walked the halls as they stood in threes and circled with their swords out, they had changed in their demeanor as they had a sash over their faces and listened walking with measured footsteps. They had been trained on their homeworld to hunt silent enemies that came from the shadows and slowly they walked as one looked at a mandalorian and shifted his sword. He was certain the air was shimmering as he swung the sword and sneered.

Slowly Mistral made his way as he came to the dormitories and looked at the rooms with girls. He really really didn't like this, these experiments were sick. Slowly Mistral looked at the hallway and motioned to his men that were there to set up e-web turrets and man them while he spoke moving inside. "Good now you [pointing to 113] go back to your room and stay down. The rest of you take up positions and prepare. If they are here for the children then we'll give them hell. If they want the other experiments then we can blow those to hell." Quickly Mistral stood in the door as he spoke into a comlink to put it over the intercom. "You know you made two mistakes coming here. First you took the job and second now this is the most important you gave away the element of surprise."

 

[Number-75]

Seth had been searching for the black coat man for a while now with his droids and they were currently in the process of searching for stairs. He frowned as the live feed displayed a squad of six white armored men enter the building from the same entrance as him. Stopping the droids, he loaded a magazine of slugs as he listened carefully for any voices. He heard them say something about splitting up and heard a storm of footsteps going away from him and another storm heading towards him. "OK, Delta 2,3 fire on my mark."

A few tense moments passed before the first white armored foot stepped out. As the man turned the corner, shield at his side, Seth spoke, turning off his exterior speakers so that he wouldn't betray his humanity. "Fire." Delta 2 and 3 fired as the man tried to raise his shield. A flurry of ruby bolts caught the man in the chest and dropped him to the ground. However, the next man was smarter. As he turned the corner, he raised his shield, blocking the flurry of blaster bolts. As the man raised his blaster rifle, Seth flicked the fire selector on his shotgun to auto and squeezed the trigger. The man bought the shield up to stop what he assumed would be bolts. The 5 slugs passed through the shield and smashed into his chestplate. The man had time to gurgle and stumble back, dropping his shield in the process, allowing the blaster bolts that it had been stopping through. The man dropped to the ground dead. "Forward." Delta 2 and 3 moved forward, crushing the bodies as they did. (Strange. They must've spent a fortune for these personal shields. Things like these are rare.....) Delta 3 turned the corner and a few blaster bolts hit it on the chassis, the armor holding. Delta 3 immediately opened fire as it pushed forward, Delta 2 immediately backing it up. As Seth turned around, he noted how the trooper's blaster was on the ground, smoking. It seemed a lucky shot had managed to hit and destroy it and the trooper was now down to his shield. Not wasting a moment, he took aim and squeezed the trigger, the 5 slugs slamming into the man's chest and head. He slumped over dead.

Seth smiled at the sight of the dead body and slung his shotgun over his back when he heard the sound of more weapons fire. Quickly following the noise, he found the stairwell. He heard someone speaking, and then let Delta 2 and 3 into the room, following them quickly. As he entered, he raised his hands and immediately scanned the scene. There was the black coated man, standing on some trooper's throat at the end of the hallway. "Peace. You seem to be a civilized man and you should know that they are aware of the fact that the base is being raided. You and I seem to be after a common goal. Perhaps we can strike up a deal in the midst of fire?"

 

[spartan 094]

The captain just would not listen to what he was saying. Not only was the fact that he was not taking orders from him because he was still under the command of the other captain that was still in the meeting with the base commander. “I cannot follow those orders you gave to me sir. I am still under the command of my officer. But I will make you commander of this base.” The man knew how to take control of men and he would be a force to be reckoned with. “Boo take care of our officer friend and his meeting buddy. Order 21.” He said and Boo responded. “Understood, I am almost there now. There be taken care of in a minute.” Cyrus then responded. “Excellent, after you taken care of them send all of the base command codes to Mistral.” Cyrus then looked at his new officer in command. “Sir Permission to gather Intel and kill if I need to the intruders.” Cyrus could do more out there and in here. He also needed to take care of a few things.

 

[Tsar Fire]

Follow me, no me... It set something off, she wasn't sure what. She wanted to say no and hit something.

Instead, she started to reply, but then one of them turned her to look at him, and gave louder orders.

Should she obey him? They were all strange men, and she didn't know who was the most important.

The colonel still hadn't told her anything.

She followed the others inside though; best not to break any rules that she knew of.

"My default instruction during drills is to standby in Archangel; do you have alternate orders for me? Is this a dismounted exercise?"

She looked at the remnant of the door. It wasn't much of a door anyways, it had just popped off at the hinges; but her arm still hurt.

"I'll need to report that."

The lights blinked on and off for a second.

Then she moved into her quarters, still not certain why she hadn't recieved updates. Some of the male subjects had come out into the common area, looking restless. She steered them back to their rooms, and then waited in the main room of the barracks, until someone told her what to do.

 

[Saint]

In response to the Captain, Norman wanted to say something like, No shet Bantha breath, but for the sake of his career and more importantly, his own personal existence, the Sergeant refrained. Instead, he replied simply with, "Roger Sir, understood. We only meant to get her to the dormitories as you ordered safely, and t'do so, I instructed her to stay with me so that my men an' I could keep a protective perimeter about 'er as we moved."

Upon receiving an order to do a grid search and make a positive identification before termination, the Sergeant shook his head as he replied, "Sir, we don't have th' logistical support, intel, supplies, or current manning to undertake such an operation. That an' you've had every pathway locked down with full control turned over to you for access. I would need that to perform such a task IF I were going to." Tilting his head towards the girl he further commented, "Plus I don't think risking her continued exposure simply to satisfy curiousity is such a good idea." (Meaning that they should probably get her the Krath outta there ASAP)

Pulling up some data on his command wristlet, he counter-suggested, "Sir, recommend we have the other half of my squad bring th' bird topside, secure the package on-board, an' make a strategic re-direct." Looking over at the Captain, he added, "We can com' back with a larger force an' secure th' facilities later, but for now, we don' know what we're up against, hav' limited resources, and are currently at a disadvantage."

Hopefully the Captain would see the wisdom in his counter-proposal. Norman's squad only consisted of eighteen Stormtroopers total, and while they were Urban Commandos of the 501st, you didn't just jump into an operation blind with no intel on your objective. Here and now, they didn't know what they were up against, and the terrain was not exactly familiar. In his mind, the best bet was to secure the package and high-tail it out of there.

They could exact vengeance another day. Though Saint had earned himself the nickname 'Suicide', he was smart enough to know when to pull out. The jobs he took only -seemed- suicidal to others because they weren't smart enough to plan appropriately. Part of every good plan included an option of tactical re-direct (hasty retreat). For this current op, the plan had only been for an escort. Not a counter-attack or search-and-destroy...

 

[Cisco]

Howard slowly looked back to the man who now stood in the same hallway as him. The man didn't appear to be an Imperial and the fact he had his hands up would seem to suggest he wasn't expecting anybody to get hurt. He ignored the man at first as he stepped off the troopers now crushed throat and bent down. He removed on of their shield generators and a radio. While he was at it he also began to remove a pair of blades from the two of them, all the while listening to the annoying message that Mistral was broadcasting over the intercom.

"Well, I see little harm in teaming up with another person." He finally answered as he began to remove a second blade from the waist of another trooper. "Them knowing we're here doesn't have much all a impact on this. They are likely setting up defenses but don't know where we are. They'll have a weakness somewhere." He paused for a second. "We'll work together."

He stood to his feet and fastened the two blades to his waist and the shield generator over the arm of his trench coat before putting the radio up to his mouth. He couldn't help but talk back to the man who was apparently their commander.

"You aren't very experienced are you?" He paused, letting his voice flow over the radio channel. "We haven't made a single mistake. We took the job, and so far I've enjoyed taking down your storm troopers. Secondly, we never lost the element of surprise. That's like saying Guerrilla fighters don't have the element of surprise because the army knows they are in the same area with them. You don't know where we are, or how large our force is. You're the ones who are cornered. If you surrender now we may let you live."

The radio practically exploded as he crushed it in his hand, his implants already beginning to tune into their frequencies. He turned back to face Seth and gave him a nod. "I suppose we should get moving."

 

[Arm514ve]

"Blue to lead we made it to the lifts, and were on our way down looks like they might know were here one of them caught my field adjusting to the ambient light and attacked there with a sword he missed but they may be on the look out for cloaked signs." the Mandalorian trooper said via helmet coms. The lift came to a stop opening up in a underground hanger area and research offices. The Two immediately getting to work copying all data from the mainframe, and planting spacial charges on anything that looked like coolant lines and on the BDS suit itself.

"Rodger Blue. Red keep on guard we might have been compromised engage when needed. Wait." Hibirar said stopping at a corner and seeing one of the dead troopers. 'Guess now's a good time to tap into there comms.' Hibirar thought moving up to the dead trooper and found his com unit was still intact. He brought up his personal terminal and copied the imperials frequencies. "This should keep us alert of there movements. Red lets move for the Barracks." Hbirar finished ordering when Mistral speech came over the intercoms of the facility, and then the response over the Imperials coms. 'So there are others and they are stupid enough to tip off they have access to imperial coms the idiot now they might change there com frequencies. Hibirar got back on his teams, personal coms. "Squad keep an eye out were not the only ones to breach this compound and they could be anywhere." He said as Hibirar and his two team members with him got back onto the roof via the buildings roof access.

To avoid running into the other intruders and the imp patrols, plus they didn't know what sort of defenses the imps had in the hall, and the roof would be the safest route to the Barracks. “Echo 213 contact the Shadow tell them to get squad two on stand by we might need a hot extraction, and have your engines warmed up we might need close air support if this goes south.” Hibirar said in his coms as they approached the end of the main building and over looked the barracks. The team going prone on the roof to survey the situation, “Rodger Commander warming up engines and weapons primed. Shadow reports ETA on second squad two hours stealth insertion.”

“Rodger out.”

“Sir what should we do they seem to be dug in tight.”

“Lets wait on our other friends before we do anything no need to make other enemies when were already hip deep in enemies already. Now lets see if we can contact this other group as well.” Hibirar said taping on his personal pad to send out a general call over none mandalorian, and imperial Coms.

((I can cut this up if theirs to much action Fire let me know Via PM and I'll split this post up.))

 

[Syn]

Mistral listened and raised an eyebrow, he did realize they were in an Imperial facility right? Quickly he looked at Norm as the man spoke. He had a point they should evacuate the children. Quickly Mistral spoke as he looked down the hallway. "Trooper normally I take suggestion well, but if I ever hear you refer to a person as a package again...." Mistral let if trail off as he spoke to the troopers with him and let the sith go about whatever. He could deal with him later. With a look at the dormitories Mistral spoke to one of his men. "Get the kids and prepare to move out." The man nodded and went to rile the others as Mistral turned to Norman. "Now we are going to need something to draw their attention trooper, got any idea?" Quickly Mistral looked at the tacpad and held it between himself and Norman as he outlined a route to the hanger that had defenses. "We'll take the kids along this line your men will take the quicker route and secure the hanger. Send a squad of your men to the generators and have charges primed for after we leave and have picked them up, we'll say goodbye with a bang and head for a planet where I know a few Imperial ships are close by." With a look at the trooper Mistral handed him the tacpad. "In case your men need a quicker way through."

Mistral looked at his comlink and grinned as he spoke to Norman. "Switch your coms trooper but have one of your men broadcast on the current. We'll work on the run around." With a look Mistral saw his men were ready as they began the safer way to the hanger with the children and 113. Slowly Mistral grinned as he spoke into the comlink after his men had switched over theirs and he pressed a button on the tacpad activating the base defenses. "Attention all base personnel fall back to the mess hall, with the soldiers. We are activates security purge protocols. All staff outside the mess hall in ten minutes will be shot on sight." With a look back Mistral watched several flame and blaster turrets come from the roofs on the hallway as he walked. The turrets wouldn't attack Imperial personnel. Quickly Mistral walked and looked at 113 as he spoke. "Kid stay with me, I am your new commander understood this isn't a drill people are trying to kill you.... To kill your friends. We have to get to the hanger so stay close."

Mistral men who were in the hall looked at each other as they heard the news and looked at the turrets then to one another. "I think the captain is off his rocker.".... "No, he's got something planned, keep to the plan we search. Now lets get to the labs and purge this place. We'll get drinks later." Quickly the men moved as they went towards the BDS lab and entered with their swords drawn and looked at the suit as they stood and saw the lines with explosives. "Looks like someone is already trying to do our job."....... "Those aren't ours, toss em and run." Quickly Mistrals men threw down their charges primed as they ran down the hall towards the courtyard as they got out before it exploded and rolled over a mine as the one man pushed the other out of the way and the second man looked up seeing a shimmer in the smoke while his nostrils flared and he stood in the middle of the courtyard. He knew the scent well and spun around as he threw a dagger at one of the cloaked mandalorians.

 

[spartan 094]

Cyrus was glad that he was finally free to do what he needed to do. He worked better alone and he had to gather more Intel on who we are fighting. Something felt strange to him in the force. He felt there was an attack from three different locations. Then Mistral went on the coms explaining his new plan and Cyrus was not pleased. The man was going to blow the base and leave. They should fight the intruders not run away from a small team of men. From how they talked to the imperials Cyrus knew they could not be Alliance or worse the Jedi. So that meant they were something else and he needed to find out who? Since Mistral was going to take out the mechs it left him with no choice but to deal with the people who think themselves as badasses. Well let’s see what they would think of a Sith. “Boo head to me NOW.”

A few minutes later Cyrus was at where the alarms were first sound off at. He also found out that whoever attacked a gate was also there. Some of the troopers reported to him telling him that there were tracks leading to this building. Cyrus then called out over the intercoms that they called out before. “ Heh you think we Imperials are weak, You think that you have us in loops.” Cyrus then started to laugh over the coms. “ No you only dealt with the weak now you stupid life form will deal with the Strong. Put down your weapons and com out and we might let you live.” Cyrus then wrapped himself in shadows and disappeared from site moving into the building and hunting his new targets.

Boo walked into the building a minute later looking for the intruders and waiting to see if they would give up on their stupid mission of getting any research data from them. He was ready to fight if they wanted to fight. “Like my master said put down your weapons and come out” He said over the coms and screamed at them “NOW”

 

[Number-75]

Seth nodded and pulled out his shotgun. "I should mention this is only a partnership of desperation. It would be better for us to work together then separately. They've probably changed their channels now that you've used it." Seth grinned under his helmet at his new partner's admittance of weakness. "Heh. Lucky for you, I can track their movement, defenses, blockades, and everything else, so long as they're outside."

Seth quickly checked on the live feed, and tapped a few buttons on the datapad on his left vambrace. The map on his HUD zoomed out from showing the area he was in to show the entire facility. A few highlighted areas appeared along with descriptions of what was spotted. "Hmmmmm It appears that they've activated stationary turrets, probably auto trackers, designed to slow us down. Also, what appears to be the staff for this facility have retreated back to one building, and that's being defended by several troopers...... Hmmm diversionary tactic. If they're not important enough for them to be evacuated, then they're not important enough to go after. In any case, I'm not here for the pencil pushers and paper stampers and I'm willing to guess that you aren't here for them either. Well, that would leave the hangars, where they would be transporting the important personnel and whatever the hell it is they've made here."

As Seth spoke, the map suddenly flashed red and zoomed back in on his position. Outside of the office building, a single man stood along with some armored being. He watched as the man disappeared from sight, leaving the armored being to rave over the com systems, the noise audible from one of the downed troopers. "Hmmm bad news, we have a cloaker in the same building as us. He's probably going to try to kill us, Oh no. Anyways, I'll rendezvous with you at the hangar." Seth pulled a small datadisk from his datapad and handed it to Howard. "Here you go. That has the directions to the hangar and it has an decryption system. Install it on a datapad and it'll give you receiving access to the map. However, it'll self destruct 60 seconds after installation. I'll meet up with you on the spot on the map."

Seth switched the mic to give orders to his Wolves and made his way to the window away from the armored being outside. "OK, Delta 1 and 4, smash through the window. Switch sonar to active." Two of the droids smashed through the window and landed outside and moved forward a bit. Seth landed forward and the three moved up, followed by the last two droids facing rearward. The four droids group around Seth with guns outward, and the five of them started to make their way toward the hangars, avoiding the turrets on their way towards it.

 

[Cisco]

Howard gave a slight sigh as he was told about the map and such and watched as Seth had jumped out of the building from the second floor window and such. He wasn't too concerned about that now as there was someone apparently inside the building with them. Someone cloaked. And by the sounds of what he had heard over the intercom It was some high up ranking imperial, possibly a Sith. Hopefully not a Sith, but knowing him he probably wasn't too lucky. He could also hear someone outside yelling, a droid perhaps.

"It's show time, read or not, here I come."

He grinned slightly as he crouched down and jumped upwards. As he came down he didn't stop. Instead he went straight through the second story floor and landed down on the first, using all fours to absorb the shock. As he stood to his feet again lines of code ran through his lenses as various augmentations inside him activated. His vision in one eye becoming IR as he looked around himself. Nothing. He couldn't see anything, Even his Cochlear implant wasn't detecting anything yet.

"I know you're in here."

 

[Tsar Fire]

113 was still following meekly, though she did stop to ponder at...

Friends? What were those?

Oh well. There was a lot happening, and none of it made sense. She'd given up on looking all the words up; the base systems seemed to be really slow today; for whatever reason.

There was a faint pause as the ground shook, and then she heard a voice that had been conspicuously absent. The colonel. It was a pre-recorded message, her OS identified it as she received it.

"113: Order Priority override. Emergency situation confirmed: Scramble Archangel. Combat systems emergency override confirmed: operational."

This all happened in an instant; and before the men with her could react, She had broken into a run, disturbingly forceful and fast; each footfall unnaturally solid for such a seemingly lithe and young woman.

"Sorry sir; scramble orders; must respond!"

She knew the facility; including all of the parts that were not on the maps. Dodging around a corner she was passing over... hangar 3? Her vision hazed as a status overlay and building plan were overlaid her POV, and she glanced down. System status reported massive structural failures in hangars 4 and 5.

Archangel was in 1.

One turn and, yes. This was it. One of the janitorial closets in each section of the base was not; it was in fact an emergency elevator down.

She jammed the controls, and it dropped; much faster than any civilian elevator, towards the hangar below. After a few seconds the view cleared to reveal an expansive room, with the oldest or most experimental BDS units arrayed around the walls. 40 foot ceiling and they barely fit.

A relieved smile tugged at her lips as she saw the familiar white form of Archangel, surrounded by a swarm of blinking green ready lights. As the lift shuddered to a halt, she stepped off, and began to walk to the suit.

 

[Arm514ve]

Blue team made it out in time before the explosion caused by the storm troopers two were thrown in front of them and one landed on a mine exploding it the two stood there and the heat from the blast disrupted Blue two's stealth field to cause a shimmer effect and caused an audible clicking noise before the trooper tossed a Knife at him the blade hit squarely on the solid chest plate bouncing off before the Blue two rose his weapon the stealth field failed for a second around the his visor creating a flash before he shot the trooper in the head. the two then ran off towards the bases perimeter where there dropship landed with tactical view on to avoid any other land mines. "Blue reporting secoundary objective accomplished retreating towards the dropship."

"Rodger" Hibirar said as they watched the Imperials move, towards the mess hall then the test subject they saw before break ranks and run towards what he thought was a janitorial closet before her signal was lost which meant she either died or went further underground then there tactical visors could pick up. "Red team follow the Imperials I'll try and figure what the one subject that broke away from the group is up to." he said running towards where he lost site of 113, and cutting into the roof and finding a lift shaft, where he expected to see air ducts and then below that a floor. after finishing his breach. He threw a repel line down and began his decent half way down he got confirmation Blue reached there dropship. "This is Echo 419 second squad is ten minutes out, and we armed and ready to provide close air support if need be. Shadow is also moving into position to provide orbital intercept but they say they can only get three shots off before the Imperial sensor nets triangulate there position."

"Rodger 419 Red team will call the ball if we need full team support stay on stand by." Hibirar said continuing down the shaft and opening the lift doors he saw the BDS in front of him 'by the gods.' he thought then he saw 113 "Wait!" he said De-cloaking and keeping his arms raised to show no hostility "I'm here to rescue you and the other test subjects." He said taking off his helmet "if you board your craft your going to make it harder for me to complete that mission what the empire has done to you and the others is wrong at least let me try and give you all a chance at a normal life at least a choice at what you want to do, with your lives."

Cyrus was moving in the shadows and decloaking every time he went behind something. Using his force powers took a lot of energy out of him so he only went invisible when he was moving to another area. He found a few dead bodies in some places and he knew that there had to be more than what was going on in this building. There was really nothing here in this building. Cyrus heard Boo walking and telling all of his targets to put down their weapons. Sometime the droid was stupid; Cyrus only said those words so they would show themselves. He was not going to let anyone that breathes out of this building.

Then someone went right straight down in front of him and though the second story floor. Cyrus cloaked and moved to look down at the man that was now on the first story floor. There was only one man but Cyrus knew there had to be more. It must have been a trap so Cyrus backed up and went behind something and decided to wait it out for the other targets to show up. “Boo take this one and be careful he might be a force user or something. I don’t feel the force to much on him so I don’t think he is force sensitive but if I had not seen what he had just done.” Cyrus was going to look for the other ones and have a drop on them. But something felt off about the building now.

Boo saw his new target land right in front of him and he went straight into combat mode. He put his shields out in front of him, then he went low, then grabbed his blaster pistol and started firing at this new threat. All while Cyrus told him to be careful and some other useful things. Cyrus was probably going to find the other people that were still in the building. Boo then started to send a video image to Mistral, Then he asked the man while he fired at him. “Who are you and what is your purpose here. Have the others show themselves now and Stand down.”

Heard the lift begin operating behind her, and broke into a run. By the time the mando had reached the hangar, she was halfway up the mech to the cockpit, nestled in the chest of the suit.

When he called out to her, she paused for a faint instant, but then swung herself back into the cockpit, keying the systems online.

The seat pulled back into the mech, and the armor closed around her, sealing her off from the outside world. For a moment, it was dark, and then the jack connected with her neck, and she could see again. The man was at the hangar floor now, his image overlaid with thermal and auditory scans. The machinery around the suit began to move, doors in the ceiling opening to allow auto-loaders access to armaments.

Missiles began to lower into loading arms, waiting to load them into the BDS weapons systems, and other armaments began to be rolled out towards the suit.

While the automated preparation systems began, 113 activated the external speakers, her husky voice coming out at a conversational level.

"Wrong? Normal? I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about. My orders are to secure Archangel. This is a strange drill, but I won't disobey orders."
