Bahalian Shipyard
0532 Local Time
It was Kaddamn early, the time on the surface of whatever planet they were above being well into the dead of the night, but the Mandalorians were busy at work, the engines of their starfighters getting no rest today—not that the warriors were getting any either. Drace was eager to get some more dogfighting experience in, even if the attack was a surprise one, and any defense the shipyard managed to scrounge up would be severely lacking in the face of three of Mandalore's most polished and active soldiers. Ever the speed demon, the Supercommando had opted to fly an MM8 today, and it showed—he'd had to slow down three times already to stay in formation. He had no use for any guns today, so he'd stashed his rifle in the cargo space, only thing on him being his Quickdraw and his beskad, which was laying at his side in its sheath. The Mandalorian was carefully eyeing the shipyard, which lay about 2 kilometers away from the three, Drace flying at Burk's right side, with Dax at the big dog's left.
"2 klicks from objective and quickly approaching. Big Dog and Little Dick, how are you holding up? Over," he called into the comms, using the affectionate nicknames he'd given for his fellow warriors. It was easy to tell who was who.
The shipyard was fairly inactive at such an hour, the only ships coming and going being supply freighters and the like, with the occasional starfighter on patrol doing its hourly rounds. No one expected an attack, most of the workers there having already forgotten about the Mandalorian diplomat who had barely gotten out. The mob boss in charge of the place was sleeping somewhere on the upper level, and his grunts were either doing the same or in the bar. There were, at most, 2 or 3 pilots ready to hop into their starfighters without instantly crashing from exhaustion. They needed their sleep, and the squadron was resting now, worn out from a long day of razing unarmed villages on the surface of the planet as a training exercise, though mostly for fun. Still, the Mandalorians would have to get this done quick. Take too long, and the squadron, tired as it was, might get ready just in time to put up some serious opposition. That would suck.
"This is the part before the mission where I have to point out a trivial detail that you've probably had hammered into your head during the briefing, so I will not disappoint: the squadron—and everyone else important—sleeps in the upper quarters, so make that a priority if you can. This is Brawler Badger, over."
