Planting the Seeds of Rebellion

[Vencu]

The Jedi/GA are responsible for trillions of poor and starving sentient beings. Not just anyone, but their own citizens. Unlike the Mandalorians, who care for everyone under their protection, the Jedi/GA have a class system and if you aren't on top, you're overlooked. We kill a criminal that they can't touch because of their corrupt justice system. In doing so, the people suspect the Jedi/GA and they rise up and fight for their rights. That doesn't seem all that bad to me. The fuel is there, we're just adding a tiny spark to get the fire going.

If you're up for it, we could certainly use a character of Sisk's experience with this mission. It might be a little underhanded, but war isn't fair and the side that plays by the rules usually gets screwed. This is no different than a sucker punch. The loser always calls that a cheap move, but the fact is, it's just a surprise attack by another name. As far as I'm concerned, our honor stays intact.

As. Mand'alor wishes. But be prepared for sarcastic quips! You have been warned! Muah ha ha ha ha ha!

Want do you think about keeping your beskar'gam on and using a holoshroud with an external power pack for a disguise? Their costly, but the Mandalorians are one of the wealthiest factions. The alternative would be to disguise your armor with a cloak or exterior modifications to the armor and helmet. For instance, you could use pieces of some lightweight material glued to the surface to change the shape and appearance.

 

[Sisk_Renelo]

External packs are heavy. But as long as they can be ditched in favor of armor when the need calls for it.

 

[Vencu]

Wookieepedia says they were small enough to mount on your belt, but that's referring to a device created at least a thousand years prior to this timeline. It's not a stretch to think modern holoshrouds weigh much less and last longer and that includes the power packs of this timeline as well. These are just a precaution and if you get into a fight, you can always deactivate them if needed or toss them aside if they get in the way. It's up to you two to decide how you will disguise your armor so it isn't so recognizable, be it with a holoshroud or modification to your armor plates and helmet.

 

[Sisk_Renelo]

My armor is small enough without a jetpack to fit underneath a jedi robe. Sisk gives off the right aura too, so he wouldn't be recognized until it was to late. But that's just another suggestion. I guess I'll wait till the thread starts to finalize it.

 

[Vencu]

Yeah, that would work. It would give you an element of surprise, too... especially if they are chasing after Atiniir and then Sisk pops up in Jedi robes.

 

[Sisk_Renelo]

The element of surprise is good, and I also think this will be Sisk's time to pull out his blade again. I know it's not to Mando, but against Jedi, I'd prefer to have something that can stop blades besides my armor.

 

[Vencu]

A weapon is a weapon.

 

[Sisk_Renelo]

Good to know there won't be any stigma attached.

TheLastLine, you can go ahead and start the thread if you're ready. GABA was asking about it earlier and I told her you would have it posted soon.
