No Alor Before Him [Grand Hunt]

[Dmitri]

The Grand Hunt was about to begin. Organized the information broken known as the Corellian along with the Bounty Hunters Guild, the hunt was advertised to an array of candidates, mostly bounty hunters, some vagrants. The hunt this year had attracted deviants from its normal participants, enticed through the cash price funded by Senator Aren Krass and Gorme the Hutt. Hundreds of targets had been considered, but ultimately the Corellian and Guildmaster Zae Tannarah had narrowed down to only a few dozen marks.

One of the candidates was a corrupt Mandalorian official named Tracyn Tsuani. Clan Tsuani had suffered troubles over the years, infighting causing fragmentation. Rumors were he had assassinated the previous clan leader, Kole Tsuani, though other reports detailed his wife had done so accidentally. Regardless, he had stepped over the legacy of Kole Tsuani and declared himself clan leader of Clan Tsuani, the rightful ruler Bria Tsuani missing. He had inserted himself into Mandalorian politics, grabbing power where he could. Corruption was a common detail in many intelligence reports regarding the man, and recently it had been revealed he was planning to start a war with other clans in order to declare himself Mand'alor. Rather than through skill or prowess, he was buying off Republic officials to send his rivals into legal and financial trouble. Despite the Mandalore government officially disregarding his crimes, an anonymous Mandalorian official submitted a contract out on Tracyn's head, seeking to cut off the cancerous Clan Tsuani head in both senses of the word.

Thus led to the voyage of one Caedryn Vizla flying to the Tsuani Compound, the bleak training compound for the Tsuani warriors. Though a large amount had seceded with Bria Tsuani to the Accord, there were still a few Mandalorian warriors present at the compound. Caedryn Vizla would have to find a way to target Tracyn Tsuani, who was located in the middle of the compound, possibly having to fight through Tracyn's lackeys to reach him.

OCC: Arc has asked me to NPC the stuff for him, i tried to use the picture as best i could for the compound. Good Luck!​

The Tsuani compound had been active a lot recently, rotations of training, guard duty and limited sleep had blurred the days together for many of those training within its grounds. Tracyn Tsuani was preparing for war, and he would have his soldiers at their peak before he set his plans in motion. The compound itself was a tall but thin building, distinguished by its roof top entrance, and oddly well-kept look.

Upon the roof were several guards who walked a path around the roof, from the landing pad they would continually move clockwise, from the landing platform on the far right of the building. Along the path from the pad were multiple sets of stairs leading down to small duelling ring style areas. Here a few off duty men and women would come to blow off some much needed steam.

As the guards moved towards the end of the rooftop, a large white statue stood as if to only momentarily obscure their vision of the rest of the platform. To the side of the statue, a set of stairs that lead down to the lower levels of the compound and the only sure fire way into it.

Tracyn Tsuani had been summoned to the center courtyard of the compound, accessible only through a blast doors a few floors down, anyone wanting to get to him would have to navigate the building, hopefully not drawing attention to themselves in the process.

Sundari.


The last time Caedryn had been there, he had murdured a man in the middle of the night for revenge. That was six years ago, and now that he was back, Caedryn was about to murder a man in the middle of the night for credits. Funny how fate works out that way. Crouching at the edge of a high rise that stood over the compound of Clan Tsuani, Caedryn had watched the compound for several hours now, observing the guards patrol pattern. As the gaurds began to make their way to the far end of the platform, Caedryn stood up to make his move.


Caedryn stood in his Mandalorian armor, which he had repainted in Clan Tsuani’s colors, a dreadful combination of orange and green. He had his usual equipment as well as a few new additions for this particular job. Jetpack on his back, flamethrower and grappling line on his left gauntlet, blaster and dart launcher on his right. On his right hip was a heavy blaster pistol, holstered with the grip forward so as to be drawn from either side. On his left hip was a phrik vibrosword. He had a bandoleer with a mix of stun, flash, and ion grenades. Strapped to his chest was a heavy blaster carbine which was stun capable. He was here to kill one man and one man only.


Walking a few steps back, Caedryn would then turn around and break into a run, jumping off the ledge of the high rise building and activating his jetpack for a short but precise thrust, the sound being drowned out by the ambient noise of the busy city. Flying forwards and up for a moment, Caedryn felt his stomach flip as his upwards momentum reversed and he began to plummet towards the spot behind the statue, which would block the gaurds view of him when he landed. Focusing as he fell, Caedryn called upon the force to slow his descent. Gritting his teeth as the roof rushed up to meet him, he felt himself slow just before impact. The impact was still jarring, as his feet connected with the ground he rolled forward to absorb the impact.


As he completed his roll, Caedryn would rush up to put his back against the statue, the stairway down into the complex directly in front of him. He would wait for a few moments to recover his breath and let his nerves settle down, listening for signs of detection. If there were no signs, he would then make his way down the stairs, approaching the door cautiously. Coming up to the door, he would attempt to open it and hope that it wasn’t locked.

The door to the second level was operated by a single button either side, the door would ascend upwards into the roof with a tshhh sound when activated and would automatically close after several seconds. To the right and left of the inside of the door, two guards stood, ready to check all those who wished to descend into the compound.

"Excuse me, we're going to need to stop you before you go any further." The right guard stated before his arm extended out to block the path of Caedryn. "Whats your name, business and we are going to need to see some sort of identification." The left guard asked, his hand visibly holding onto his stun baton. In the event of an intruder they would attack in unison, one attempting to restrain the intruder from behind, while the other used a stun baton to immobilized them.

The hallway was roughly fifty meters in length and was fairly wide. Along the hallway were four doors, two of which led to dorms who would certainly hear a loud struggle or altercation if one occurred. The third was a large armoury, containing keys to speeders, weaponry, explosives and other gadgets. The final room was a control room, manned at all times by a single Tsuani Clan member, often a higher ranking commander who has a good working knowledge of the compound itself.

Tracyn was still held up in the center of the compound, however any disturbance on the second level or the control room would surely alert him to an intruder.

At the far end of the hallway is another automatic door, much like the first, the door led to a hallway that was no longer than ten meters in length and was protected by a laser grid system. While it would not be impossible to navigate with the right equipment it could only be deactivated by a key card from someone with the relevant authorisation. At the end of this second hallway was single lift that would decent to the lower level and provide someone with access to the courtyard areas.

As the door opened, Caedryn was confronted by two gaurds, armored, but with their helmets attached to their belts, asking for identification. One held an arm out to stop him while the other held a stun baton at the ready.


“Yeah, Cad Tsuani, uhh identification-“Caedryn began fumbling around with the various pockets on his flightsuit, glancing up to note the lack of cameras and layout of the hallway. “-uhh I must have left it in my other jumpsuit.”


Having killed enough time for the automatic door to begin to close, Caedryn would grab a Stun grenade off of the bandoleer on his chest near a pocket, a silent gas stun grenade to be precise. As the door closed he activated and dropped the grenade, the grenade rolling under the door right as it closed. Waiting a few seconds for the gas to disperse, Caedryn pushed the door button again, and was greeted by the sight of the two guards crumpled on the floor, incapacitated by the powerful knockout gas.


Moving into the hallway, Caedryn heard the door slide shut behind him. Making his way to the doors along the hallway, he would open each one in turn to peek inside, two grenades, a flash and a stun gas grenade in hand and ready. The first door and second doors contained dorm rooms, each with a handful of soldiers lounging inside. They were easily neutralized as he threw a pair of grenades in each before closing the doors. He would then check each dorm, heavy carbine set on stun and ready to fire, which turned out to be unnecessary. Dragging the two doorway guards into the dorms, Caedryn proceeded to secure them before moving on.


The third doorway turned out to be an armory, which after a brief glance at the contents, Caedryn decided he would return to later. Moving onto the fourth doorway, Caedryn opened the door to find a lone man sitting at a control panel. Rushing the small room quickly, Caedryn came up behind the man and bashed him in the back of the head with the butt of his carbine before he even had a chance to turn and acknowledge the intruders presence. The man crumpled to the ground, and Caedryn searched his pockets quickly, coming up with a keycard that would likely prove invaluable. As he finished his search the man began to stir. Tying him up, Caedryn would wait for him to wake up, aiming his blaster carbine at the man’s face, set to stun. Not that the Tsuani soldier would know that.

As the man woke up, he would find himself staring down the barrel of a large bore heavy carbine, the barrel looking even larger on the receiving end. Once the man had roused himself well enough to answer questions, Caedryn would, in a low but menacing voice, make his demands.

"Tell me the layout and occupancy of this building. If you do not, i dont think i need to explain what will happen."

"Who are you, do you even know where you are? A single man can't take this compound, we are Mandal...." His vision began to get less blurry and just as he was about to say Mandalorians, he looked upon the man in front of him. His armour was too well fitted, to well done for it to be stolen. Yet it was in the clan colours... Maybe something had happened while he was in the control room, he couldn't think straight and his head was thumping.

"You need to deactivate the laser grid to even get down to the next floor, you'll need a key card. I have one but you have to promise to not kill me." He fumbled around in his pockets, his tapping becoming more and more frantic as he realised that his bargaining chip was already in the possession of his captor. Upon realising this he began to edge his was backwards slightly, remaining unthreatening as he did so.

"I see you already have that... The next floor is the same layout as this almost, however there are sentry guns that will activate if they don't recognise your biometric signature. If your wondering how they will know, there is a retinal scan down there, it allows you access into the rest of the building, the courtyards, everything."

The man began to laugh... "You're not getting through that door unless you have the retinal scan or some high quality explosives. Even then you have to take out two sentry guns. Most of the rooms down there are purely for storage, most of the training and equipment is on the other side of the center courtyard. You can't miss that, its a the only big door down there." The entire time he was talking he was edging backwards, finally as he ended his sentence he leapt backwards throwing his arm toward a large green button on the console.

If he was able to hit it, he would set off the alarms to the compound and Caedryn would have a much harder fight that he wanted.

Caedryn would listen to the man as he sold out his fellow clan members, his carbine trained on the man the entire time. As the man began to edge backwards, he would let him finish his last sentence before pulling the trigger, right as the man began to throw himself back. The man would collapse to the ground unconcious as the blue stun bolt slammed into him. Retinal scan, Caedryn considered the man crumpled on the floor in front of him. It would be a pain to lug him all the way downstairs, but at the same time, he had already decided not to kill anyone other than the target. Leaving him where he lay for the moment, Caedryn headed to the armory down the hall.

Inside the armory he found a variety of weapons and explosives. Heading straight to a shelf loaded with concussion bombs, he grabbed a gear sack and began filling it, as well as a deadman detonator switch that he wirelessly linked to the bombs, attaching that to his belt. Setting a few bombs in the armory, he would continue out of the room, setting more bombs in the control room and dormitories. Then, scooping up the stunned commander, he would make his way down the hall. Swiping the keycard, the door opened and the laser grid was disabled. Dragging the man over to the retinal scanner, he held the mans eye opened and held his face against the scanner, shaking slightly, still drained from his useage of the force earlier.

With a ding, the lift door opened. Dragging the man in and letting him fall to the floor, Caedryn prepared himself in case the mans biometrics were incorrect. Knowing that there was a possibility of sentry turrets, Caedryn prepped an ion grenade, leaning up against the side of the lift, trying to make himself as small of a target as possible. With another ding the door opened. Peaking out of the lift, he saw the sentry turrets which appeared to be inactive. Breathing a sigh of relief, Caedryn moved onto the empty floor, moving swiftly but methodically as he placed the remainder of his bombs in various storage rooms. Once that task was done, he moved to the big door. Now came the hard part. Pressing the button to open the door, Caedryn would attempt to pass himself off as just another warrior of Clan Tsuani, coming down from the dorms to train.

As the doors opened he would be able to walk freely around the courtyard, in the center. Tracyn stood talking to larger, muscular Mandalorian. The man he was talking to was heavily armoured, much more so than Tracyn who was wearing more standardized armour, a jetpack with a light blaster rifle and a holstered blaster pistol.

While Caedryn would have fooled most of the men in the base, Tracyn was not stupid and he would recognise a member of his Clan simply by the way they carried themselves, their gate or their weapons systems. These things would be impossible to Caedryn to play down, he would have to fight and as most leaders did, they would sent the Pawns in first.

As well as the muscular man, there were several others in a the courtyard armed with similar weapons to Tracyn. Atop the ramp leading down into the center was a waist high wall however it was thin and would only be able to take three of four shots before falling. The ramp was the only way up to the door that Caedry would be exiting, meaning the only dangers could come from in front or behind him.
