The dark of night had long since fallen over Pzob. Through the scope of his blaster rifle, Kotii let the weapon rest on for steadiness. "Might need to get imaginative." he said as he looked over the ships they were supposed to sabotage. There were guards and a handful of crew still active around the ships, moving beneath the florescent lighting before being lost from view at his current distance. The building that most of them came and went from was an old Imperial bunker. While it was run down and there are visible remnants of outbuildings, the Mandalorian knew better than to underestimate the defensive position. Stealth was imperitive.

Another member of Clan Solus was leading this operation to take out smugglers at a price for the Five Syndicates. As good of credits as anyone, he wasn't one to refuse. The need for a covert infiltration was his skill set and the badger was confident this was something they would be able to accomplish. After the moot at the Black Keep on Mandalore, the Alor of House Solus was pleased to see and hear the initiative other Mandalorians were taking.

The objective was to make sure the ships couldn't take off. The easiest way was for some demolition work to be done. But the Mandalorian didn't have a rocket launcher or anti-air weaponry. That left them with less options. He had a few dozen kilograms of welding putty and a single demolition charge. It was big and took up most of the backpack space.

They were a few hundred feet away from the edge of the landing zone for the smuggler group. Their small fleet had some interesting ship designs among them. A YT series, a ccm-220 and a YV corellian light freighters, as well as a lancer-class pursuit ship. "Thoughts?" He asked simply to his comrade that shouldn't be too far away. They could still benefit from more reconoitering but Black Hand, as he was known in the Bounty Hunters Guild, was happy to take his time if it meant a better execution of the plan.

"I think it's best we take our time with this one rather than to go in without a proper plan," Reiel replied to her companion who kept watch over the activity on the landing zone down yonder. Her gaze wandered from the bunker to the ships lining up the bay. This job would've been easy if either of the two Mandalorians had anti-air weaponry but they would have to work with what they have.

Kotii of House Solus was correct. They did have to get imaginative.

"I'd say keep watch, take note of the guards' rotations and shifts. Use any security lapses to our advantage." She clasped her hands together, knees drawn to her chest, and helmeted head facing skywards as if searching the stars for a plausible idea or two. She and Kotii were tasked with sabotaging the ships to prevent the smugglers from escaping, and while stealth wasn't really required the two Mandalorians seemed to share an unspoken understanding about avoiding barging in with guns blazing.

Stealth was preferred but not required. No – it was an imperative.

"Might be a good plan to scope out the bunker. Place looked old, yes, but who knows what security features it holds. Automated turrets, repeating blasters... antipersonnel weaponry aside from the manpower itself."

A sigh slipped past Reiel's lips, coming out raspy through her helmet's modulator. It had been a while since she took in some guildwork, already busying herself with her responsibilities as the Senator of Tinnel IV's chief of security. Was she suggesting the right thing?

"I'd like to get a closer look, though. Get the lay of the land. It will take time, of course, and there's the problem of how we should blend in..."

Her brows furrowed. "Blend... in..."

Blending in meant more work to be done, but if it ensured the task's success... She turned to look at Kotii before moving to close the distance between them, but not enough to invade his personal space.

Why was she always coming up with such atrocious plans?

"If we could pass off as fellow smugglers, probability's high that we can infiltrate the base and sabotage the ships from the inside."
