    Arturus raced down the corridor towards Warmaker's office.  The Wing Commander had ordered him into his office ten minutes ago with what sounded like either urgency or anger.  Arturus flew around the last corner, knocking over an engineer working on one of the blastdoors.  Thirty seconds later he was in Warmaker's office.     "You are late!"  Warmaker growled as Arturus raced through the door.  "Sit down and listen up, this is important!"  He commanded as he turned towards the communications screen behind his desk.  "Twenty minutes ago we recieved this transmission from what appears to be a pirate ship.  Have a look for yourself."  He said as Arturus flopped down in one of the chairs in front of Warmaker's desk.
===Begin Transmission===
Attention!  This is Andrew Hindoff, Captain of the Modified Frigate Bloodlust.  My crew and I request urgent asylum from the Vast Empire forces.  We have defected from the Gilkani pirates, the group of pirates who have been completely disrupting shipping in the outer-rim.  At this second, they are after us, we need to recieve coordinates ASAP for a safe point for this ship. For the past three months, the Gilkani pirates have captured over 200 freighters and escort ships and have killed over 1500 crew members of these ships.  The men under my command and myself are sick of these atrocities and wish to help destroy these monsters.  We have information as to where the cargo and freighters have been hidden and where the Gilkani's bases are. As a measure of good faith we managed to steal 6 small freighters loaded with equipment.  They are currently with us and the crew of those ships request asylum with us. Please grant us a reply immediately, the Gilkani are after... dammit!  SOS, this is Modified Frigate Bloodlust!  We are under attack!  The Gilkani have fou.....
===End Transmission===
    "The High Command took immediate interest in this transmission.  We have confirmed that at least some of these freighters were either ours or were contracted by us.  Over a hundred others belong to various other friendly imperial factions.  The HC has ordered me to investigate and deal with this problem immediately."  Warmaker explained as he turned on his chair to face Arturus.     "And you need Kaph squadron to do this?"  Arturus asked.     "Yes.  We need your squadron for two reasons.  The first reason is because your squadron has had limited special forces experience before and will need this for this mission.  You may be required to conduct sabotage and espionage missions along with flight missions in dealing with this matter."     "And the second reason?"  Arturus asked.  Warmaker sighed and stared at Arturus.     "After reviewing your file and contacting some of my sources, I found out inadvertently that the Gilkani pirates are the people who...killed yuor family on Corellia seven years ago."  Warmaker said solemly.     "I see, and you want us to kill these bastards?"  Arturus asked bitterly.     "No.  At least that will not be your first objective."  Warmaker replied firmly as he lifted an envelope from his desk.  "Your squadron will be redeployed immediately to the Nemesis.  Comodore Claw has orders to jump deep into the outer-rim and turn his ship into the disguise of a smuggling vessel.  From here you will begin operations.  Your first mission will be to travel to the sector where this tranmission came from.  The Nemesis will hyper into the system and send out its smuggling beacon.  Your squadron will investigate the area and look for debris and anything else you can find of interest.  We need to confirm first, if the asylum seekers were destroyed and secondly, if it is possible to find any information from the debris as to where one of these Gilkani bases might be.  You will be ordered to exhibit strict caution.  This might be a trap.  That is all, good luck Arturus."  Warmaker concluded as he rose from his chair.     Arturus threw his customary sloppy salute.  "Thank you sir." ===Ten Minutes Later===     Arturus raced down to the squadron room.  He quickly got everyone together.  "Ok people, we are redeploying immediately to the Nemesis.  Your fighters are already onboard.  There are two shuttles waiting for us.  You have exactly ten minutes to get your personal gear and report to the hanger.  The other gear you will need is being shipped to the Nemesis.  This is a top priority assignment so move out!"  Arturus ordered as he  headed out to the hanger. (OOC: Ok people lets get going.  We will be doing multiple missions along this story line including spec ops.)   ----------------------- SL/ENS Arturus/Kaph 1-1/ M-SSD Atrus/Phoenix Wing/VE/VEN/(=a=)(=sa=)(=jcpa=)(=scpa=)[MC:1][LoR]

(OOC: Well, I was hoping that someone else would post on this, but it looks like that duty will once again fall to me. On a side note, Claw is a Commodore, not a Rear Admiral.)   Commodore Darkhawk's CRF-156T Raven glided down to a smooth landing in the Atrus's tertiary landing bay. Months had passed since Darkhawk had been on board the Super Star Destroyer that served as the Navy's flagship; much had changed during those months.   However, that was irrelevant to the current situation. He had received a desperate summons to return to Abrae and join up with Kaph Squadron. According to the transmission, forces friendly to the Vast Empire were under attack by a band of space rogues known as the Gilkani pirates. Warmaker hadn't said much more than that, but Darkhawk could feel that there was a sense of urgency to the situation.   As he climbed down from his scout ship and headed toward his small quarters nearby, he ran into one of his squadron mates. The warrant officer smiled as he saw the commodore approach.   "It's good to see you back on board, Darkhawk," Denethor said, snapping a hasty salute.   Returning the salute, and the smile, Darkhawk replied, "It feels good to be back. How serious is the situation around here?"   "Well, none of us is really sure just yet. We're about to redeploy to the Nemesis, though. You got back just in time, it seems."   "Yes, it does. I'm going to run down to my quarters and put away my things. Tell Arturus that I'll be there as soon as I can."   "Will do. Don't be too long, though, okay? I think this could be pretty important."   "So do I," the commodore responded.   As he jogged down the corridors of the Atrus, the Dark Jedi reached out with the Force, trying to get a feel for who else was there on the ship with him. His eyes widened, a surprise reflex, when he felt a certain presence on board.   Liquid! What the heck are you doing here?   I'm back in the Navy now, that's what. In fact, I'm your new flight leader.       Darkhawk shook his head, grinning. That's good news to hear. Looks like this mission might not be so boring after all.   Oh, I don't think you're going to have to worry about that.   Is there anything you can tell me? the commodore asked.   We're getting ready to leave for the Nemesis.   I know. I ran into Denethor on my way in.   All right then. The only other thing I can tell you is that this mission is going to involve special ops. So you might want to bring along the proper equipment.   Oh, don't worry. I'll be properly equipped. Sir.

    Arturus raced around the corner and entered his quarters.  The shuttle was supposed to leave in fifteen minutes and he had a lot to pack fofr the move.  He quickly grabbed three small shapeless bags and stuffed them full of clothing, toiletries, and other personal items that he would need for extended assignment onboard the Nemesis.   Arturus then threw the bags towards the door and preceeded to unlook the small vault he had hidden in his quarters.  There he took out his his communications and electronics gear.  They had been stolen two years ago before production had started on it.  Even now the Empire did not have this kind of excellent equipment.  Art had used this on many missions before and knew that it would be usefull again.  He put this stuff, his silenced pistol, and a few other personal combat accessories in a large metal lock-box which contained two cases of the best Corellian Ale stolen five years ago.  He quickly reset the two main locks with new security codes and activated the security features and encrypted the information into his private datapad.   Arturus then lifted up the metal box and ordered his two droids to carry the small bags to the shuttle.  He had two minutes to make the deadline he had set for his squadron.   ----------------------- SL/ESN_Arturus/Kaph 1-1/Phoenix Wing/M-SSD_Atrus/VE/VEN/(=a=)(=sa=)(=jcpa=)(=scpa=)[MC:1][LoR]

Liquid folded his robes neatly into his pack, laid his saber and various slicing tools on top of it, and placed the other half of his robe on top. "There, that should be....enough." he said quietly to himself, as he placed his saber on his right hip. He entered the hallway as the chrono on his wrist just hit 4:55, 5 STU's left, he began to run down the hallway, calling up his datapad with the Force, and telling his pilot droid to head for the Nemisis, he provided it with the proper clearance codes to board it. He sent a personal message to the Commodore, letting him know that the driod might be a bit latent in sending the codes, and the make/callsign of his ship. "That should do it." he said to himself. "Yes, that will be perfect."

    Arturus rounded the final corner to the hanger with ten seconds to spare.  He was breathing somewhat heavily from lugging the heavy lockbox for a quarter of a kilometer.  He saw that most of his squad had assembled where their bombers where usually located.  They had already been shipped out to the Nemesis.     "Alright people, I trust you have all packed whatever personal items you will need?"  Arturus asked as he put down the metal box.  He saw various nods from his men.  "Excellent, we have two shuttles waiting to take us to the ship.  Your bombers have already been moved over there along with the special operations equipment that you will need.  When we get to the Nemesis you will be briefed on your mission.  That is all, hop onboard."  He ordered as he bent down to lift the box again.

Solo grabbed his bags and carefully threw them over his shoulder.  As a demolitions expert, he had developed a healthy respect for the tools of his trade.  Upon taking his seat and stowing his equipment, Solo looked up to see Darkhawk take the seat next to him.  "Any idea what's really going on?", he asked.  "Nope" replied Darkhawk, "Arturus isn't telling anyone anything." "Guess we'll just have to wait until the briefing.  I hate being kept in the dark."  said Solo as he felt the shuttle lift off.

    Arturus was still stowing his gear as the shuttle took off.  As he put his final bag into its compartment, he was nearly thrown off of his feet as the shuttle violently exited the hanger and began its trek towards the Nemesis.  Art managed to gain his balance a second later and he began looking for the projector that was supposed to have been brought aboard.     "Darkhawk could you hand me that large black box behind you?"  Art asked as he spotted the projector.  A moment later, the box was in his hands and he set up the projector.  Finally, he plugged in his datapad and uploaded his briefing.  "Ok men, this mission has been thrown together in the last hour.  It is a top priority assignment and possibly the beginning of permanent spec forces operations for Kaph squadron.  If we want to get continued assignments like this we nned to prove ourselves this time."  Art stated as he began the briefing.     "Over an hour ago, the High Command recieved a message from a Modified Frigate far in the outer rim.  It broadcasted a request for asylum to the Vast Empire.  In exchange they offered us valuable information about a pirate group called the Gilkani.  Apparently they are the ones responsible for all of the freighter losses in the outer rim.  I will play you the recording."  Art said as he activated the message.  The squadron looked around with curiosity at the end of the message.  "We assume that the frigate was destroyed and that the freighters were recaptured.  However, since we have no real proof if this was a valid message or a trap, we need to investigate the area were the transmission was sent from.  Fortuntately the recording gave a data signal indicating where it was being transmitted from.  When we arrive at the Nemesis, it will depart for this system.  During the travel time, we will use the simulators on board for spec ops training.  We will have time to run one mission during the travel.  Everything you would need for a spec ops mission can be used in the simulator with the exception of lighsabers.  But I trust Darkhawk and Liquid dont need the practice."  Art said as he disengaged the projector.  "Any questions?"  Art asked as he disconnected his datapad and packed away the projector.     "Will explosives be simulated in the simulator?"  Solo asked     "Yes, I am not sure how but Comodore Claw will instruct you on how to use everything in the simulator.  Anything else?"  Art asked as he glanced around the room.     "Any idea what our missions will be after we investigate?"  Denethor asked.     "So far all Warmaker said was that we were going to spy on, sabotage, and hamper the Gilkani pirates.  We will get orders after each mission.  It is my guess the HC has no idea what it wants to do yet.  I personally think we should just kill off these bastards but apparently that isnt the idea yet.  Any other questions?"  Art asked.  "Good, now relax some, its another ten minutes to the Nemesis."  Art said as he flopped down on his seat and pulled out a deck of cards.  "Sabacc anyone?"

    Jacen slid into his seat aboard the Lambda-class shuttle Ptarmigan.  He shifted anxiously as he awaited the beginning of the flight.  The new Crewman's uniform was most definitely not what it was made out to be.  A screen came down from in front of him and he tried to get comfortable to watch the in-flight movie.  The screen came alive and his compartment aboard the shuttle went opaque.  He could not see outside of where he was sitting.  He glanced at the vidscreen where a young man was shuffling some papers.  He raised the volume so he could hear...     I am Ensign Arturus, your new commanding officer.  You have been transferred to Kaph Squadron after I viewed your amazing test scores.  After this briefing is over, you will exit the shuttle and go to the Secondary Docking Bay on L-level.  There you will board the Beta-class Assault Shuttle Belthon.  What is happening is as follows: Over an hour ago, the High Command received a message from a Modified Frigate far in the outer rim.  It broadcasted a request for asylum to the Vast Empire.  In exchange they offered us valuable information about a pirate group called the Gilkani.  Apparently they are the ones responsible for all of the freighter losses in the outer rim.  I will play you the recording.     The vidscreen moved to a recording of a man in a pirate's uniform who was pleading for immediate help and asylum within the Vast Empire.  The man went on for a few seconds until the screen shook and cries of pain were heard.  The man's face returned to the screen, shaken and pale.  His last words before the screen went blank were, "We are under attack!  The Gilkani have fou..."     We assume that the frigate was destroyed and that the freighters were recaptured.  However, since we have no real proof if this was a valid message or a trap, we need to investigate the area were the transmission was sent from.  Fortunately the recording gave a data signal indicating where it was being transmitted from.  When you arrive at the Nemesis, have the Flight Officer direct you to Kaph Squadron’s area.  I have not yet decided on rooming plans, but you can at least drop your stuff off in the lounge, which will also act as our briefing room.  Our ships are located in the Secondary Hangar Bay.  Our current ships are TIE Bomber’s, but that may be changed for this mission due to its Special Operations nature.  Any questions, comments, or concerns can be addressed as soon as you are aboard the Nemesis.  Ensign Arturus, out.     Jacen stood up and opened the door to the compartment.  He walked to the aft entrance to the shuttle and stopped some mechanics that were lifting his bags into the Ptarmigan.  He picked up his two bags and headed towards the turbolift.  He found it and took it up to L-level.  He got off and turned right, heading for the Secondary Docking Bay.  He entered the bay through a side entrance and immediately spotted the Belthon.  He walked up to it and let the pilot know who he was.  The pilot had him enter the ship and then began the preflight sequence.     Jacen plopped down in a flight couch as the pilot raised the shuttle on its repulsors.  He felt the effects of the inertial dampeners kick in as the normal G-force of such a take-off would have been bone crushing.  He loosened his collar and checked his chrono.  He had about ten hours to catch some sleep.  He lay back and let his eyes close as he drifted into a wonderland.

Arturus stretched as the shuttle touched down on board the Nemesis.  He slowly turned back and forth before grabbing walking to the ramp and hopping off the shuttle.  In the hanger, he instructed one of the attendants to take his gear to his quarters while he reported to Comodore Claw. On his way out the hanger, a Lieutenant ran over to him.  Art saluted and asked what he wanted. "Ensign a message just came through to the Nemesis informing us that another pilot has been placed in your squadron and is on route here now.  I was asked to request a copy of your briefing so that Leading Crewman Jacen could eb brought up to speed before he arrived." Arturus took out his datapad and a minidisk and quickly copied the briefing and his recording onto it.  "There you go Lieutenant, thank you for informing me.  Could you please have Jacen report to my quarters immediately when he arrives?  I will be there as soon as I report to Comodore Claw." "It will be done Ensign."  The Lieutenant said before racing towards the communications center. Arturus put the datapad back into its slot on his gunbelt and made his way quickly towards the bridge.  He hoped that Claw was as lenient about procedure as Warmaker or else his squad was in for a lot of trouble. Arturus opened the blast doors and made his way onto the bridge.  He halted in front of Claw and gave his customary sloppy salute. "Arturus reporting that Kaph has arrived.  Well that is all but one who is onroute."  Art said as he stood casually infront of the Comodore. "Ensign!"  Claw shouted as he rose to face Art.  "After you have settled your squad into their new surroundings report back to me for a refresher course of Imperial protocol!"  Claw shouted as he glared at Art.  "Your sloppy, insubordinate attitude may get you by someplaces but not here!"  He added as Art snapped to attention. "Yes sir!"  Art shouted as he turned on his heals and made his way back to his squad grumbling the entire time.  Art decided to stop at the hanger first and meet this new pilot in his squad.

  Darkhawk and Liquid sat at the other end of the lounge on the Nemesis than the rest of Kaph Squadron's pilots. Clearly they wanted to be left alone, and when two Dark Jedi want something, they usually get it. Liquid hadn't begun to drink anything quite yet, so his mind was still sharp. Or, at least, it hadn't been affected by any alcohol yet.   "What do you think about Arturus?" Liquid asked.   "You mean his strength in the Force?"   Liquid nodded. "I can't believe he has been overlooked."   "Perhaps the Council merely felt he wasn't ready yet."   "What does the Council feel now?"   The commodore smiled. "Wait until after this mission."   "You're going to be watching him, aren't you? To see how he handles the command position?"   Darkhawk laughed. "Liquid, that's the whole reason I was placed into Kaph Squadron in the beginning. Do you really think it had anything to do with Navy matters?"   "Wow. I had no idea the Order has such a far-reaching influence."   "Well, now you know a little more." The older man winked at the younger. "I have a feeling our squadron commander will turn out just fine."

Arturus began to grow impatient with waiting for Jacen's shuttle to arrive.  Already three other cargo transports had entered but the shuttle hadn't.  Art knew that if he didn't get back to Claw soon he would be in even bigger trouble from the sir commander pain in the ass. Art left the hanger and made his way to the squad room where he saw his pilots lounging around, their bags piled in the middle still.  He noticed that Darkhawk and Liquid were sitting in the corner far away from the rest of the group.  That's rather odd Art thought as he looked around. "Alright men!  Lets break up the social chit-chat and get something done.  You have a training exercise to report to in twenty minutes so get this gear into your quarters and assemble in the hanger.  I have to report back to the Comodore and will meet you there soon."  Art ordered as he looked around the room at his pilots.  There appeared to be a look of concern on their faces.  "Is something wrong?"  Art inquired. "Boss, we havent had an quarters assigned to us yet.  Apparently they are not authorized to house Kaph squad in here yet."  Solo responded. "Who is in charge of this section?"  Art asked/ "There is a Lieutenant down the hall in the Wing Commander's office."  Denethor replied as he stood and went towards his bags. "Very well men.  Put your gear in whatever rooms you want and report to the hanger.  If they give you any trouble tell them to report it to my face and Ill deal with it.  Now then I have to go report for a 'protocol' course from sir pain in the ass and I will be in the hanger shortly."  Art commanded as he turned and left the squad room admist laughing and jeering from his squadmates.

The heavy thuds of Arturus' boots echoed down the empty hallway as he made his way to the bridge.  Commodore Claw had ordered Art to find him after getting his squadron ready, and finding the Commodore he was.  After a brief way at the captain's quarters, Arturus remembered that he could track down Claw through the comm-officer.  The impatient officer sneered at Art through the comm and told him that the Commodore was on the bridge.  Arturus thanked the man, switched off his comm-link, and began to tell the officer where he could put his rank bar. The large door to the bridge opened as Art neared it.  He saw the Commodore right away, leaning over an ensign's shoulder to see a display.  Art approached the Commodore and clicked his heels. Claw pointed at a line on the screen and said, "Have engine crews check on that spike.  I don't like the looks of it either."  With a sigh, he stood and turned to Arturus.  "Ensign" he began, "I know you came here expecting me to micro-manage and tell you how to do your job.  I am no fool, however.  My job is to make sure my ship and crew stays safe.  When the Nemesis is the flagship of a battle, I command squadrons as well as the rest of the ships with me.  I was merely demonstrating that I expect you to follow Imperial protocol.  As a former Training Officer, I know that such protocol was beaten into your helmet in basic training." Arturus let out a silent sigh of relief, but he held his stance of attention.  "Sir, Kaph squadron is under your command." he said confidently.  There was a deeply ingrained pride in his men behind his words.  It was as if he stood at even more attention when he said it.  A slight smile formed on his face as he watched the Commodore nod his head in approval. Claw walked toward the bridge's main door and spoke over his shoulder, "Captain Sihd, you are in command.  Arturus, follow me."  The doors opened as he approached and closed behind Art.
"Attention on deck!" came the call as Arturus and Claw entered the lounge where Kaph was waiting.  The squadron jumped to their feet and lined up for inspection... all but two. Claw set his jaw and confidently strode over to Liquid and Darkhawk, as they sat at their table, drinking.  "I believe attention was called." he said firmly. Liquid smirked and said, "I believe you're right." and took another gulp of the potent drink. "Drinking while on duty and not acknowledging a superior officer.. two very bad ways to end your Naval career." Claw growled. Darkhawk glared at Claw and said, "The Navy doesn't concern us.  We do as we please."  Although their shared a rank, protocol would have forced Darkhawk to stand and acknowledge Claw since he was captain of the ship. "If you insist." Claw said with a sigh as he drew his sidearm.  It wasn't until then that anyone noticed how the Commodore kept an unusually large blaster on him for an officer.  He leveled the muzzle at Liquid's left eye.  "Stand and join your squadron now."  His eyes showed a lack of caring either way and a hint of fire burning for having to correct a subordinante.  A firm tug brought the blaster to the right eye before Claw could steady his arm.  The telekinetic grip on his blaster wasn't enough for him to release it.  "Keep pulling and I'll fire." Claw said.  A moment passed before the tugging stopped.  Claw glared down the sights of the gun and said, "Join your squadron, Warrant Officer." Liquid stood slowly and fell in with his squadron.  He was surprised to find Darkhawk had joined him.  The two exchanged glances.  Talon told me about him.  Said he doesn't like Jedi at all.  I didn't believe him when he said he wasn't afraid of us either. Liquid spoke through the Force. I don't doubt it now.  I just hope I don't have to kill him. Darkhawk replied.  Liquid quickly glanced over, wondering if Darkhawk was joking.. he knew better. "Welcome to the Imperial class Star Destroyer Nemesis." Claw's voice interrupted.  "You will treat myself and my crew with the respect we deserve and we will do the same to you.  We will fight as one, since we are of the same Empire.  There are no "me"s in space when the plasma is being thrown back and forth."  As he addressed Kaph, he paced back and forth, looking each of them in the eyes as they stood at parade rest.  "We will be leaving shortly.  I have been informed by Ensign Arturus that you wish to fly a simulation since you should have time for one round.  I have provided a program that I designed myself that should be challenging for you.  We will begin in an hour.  Your quarters are on deck D-35.  Store your belongings and report to the sim deck.  Dismissed."  Claw finished his pacing at the end of the line where Liquid and Darkhawk stood.  He gave both of them a glare and then left the room.   ----------------------- OO/GN Sierra "Talon" Taurus/HC-3/VEHC/VE[BC][IOC][LoC][SoS][BM][CDS][MSM] GM-SL/KPX "Nightblades"/DC-2/Elite Griffen Sect/VSD-II Griffen/VEDJ/VE[IOC][OQD][WoS 2nd Class] CEO Sierra "Talon" Taurus/ECHC-1/Endoven/Dome 8473/VEEC/VE ----------------------- SCAP/COM Vincent "Claw" Taurus/ISD Nemesis/Offensive Fleet/VEN[=A=][LoM][IOC][IC2] CE Vincent "Claw" Taurus/Endoven/Dome 8457/VEEC/VE

Art watched Claw leave the room after pacing in front of his men one more time.  "Alright men, grab your gear that you stowed elsewhere and put it where are quarters really are.  After that report back here and I will take you to where we are going to conduct our special operations simulation.  I know some of you have no experience what so ever in special operations so do not be frustrated if you screw up or die in the simulation.  After we run it there will be a long debriefing and discussion session.  Once we arrive at our base system we will practice more along with fly many combat missions.  You will be sore, tired, and frustrated much of the time but we are Kaph squad.  We are tough and we will show the navy what we are made of!"  Art stated forcefully as he looked at his men.  "I will meet you back here in ten minutes, lets move out!"  He ordered as he grabbed his gear that was still lying in the middle of the room.  Someone had failed to follow his order and stow it but it made little difference to him.

The bags being stowed in his bunk, he walked briskly to the docking bay of the Nemisis. He had a quick conversation with the Petty Officer that was in charge there, and found the location of his ship. He walked to it and entered the password. "Ahh...home sweet home." He breathed deep the smell of Silicon that was still lingering in the air. "I'm such a geek." He sighed as he walked into the cargo bay on his ship. "Hmm....what will I need?" he asked himself as he looked through his table of various items. He hefted a pack onto the table and began placing various things into it. "A lockpick, bugs, some fiber optic wiring, and a few extra odds and ends. Then, he added the prized item in his connection. His hand-made personal data-pad. That thing had so many codes on it, he'd kill himself if he lost it. Hey Liquid, you'd better hurry up if you don't wanna miss the briefing. Oh, SHIT! Liquid replied back to Darkhawk via the Force and hurridly picked up the pack and booked for the meeting down the halls. He barely remembered to lock his ship back up before he left. Running at incredible Force-aided speeds down the hallway, he rounded a corner too quickly and ran smack into the Ship Captain, Claw. Sithspit Liquid thought, as he slowly raised himself and offered a hand to help up the commodore. "I need no assistance from you, Warrant Officer Liquid." He said it in a snotty tone, one that didn't exactly please the Dark Jedi. Shifting his weight, he replied: "Well, excuse me for having some decency when knocking someone down." "You will only call me by Sir, Liquid." "Yeah, whatever." He turned and walked off for the briefing room deftly. The Commodore continued shouting orders as the Warrant Officer continued walking down the hall. Gah....this guy needs some Twileks around a bit more often. Sheesh. I agree completely Darkhawk said as Liquid rounded the corner.

  "What is his problem, anyway?" Liquid asked.   Darkhawk shrugged. "I think you already know that. He doesn't like Jedi."   "Yeah, but why?"   "Maybe it has something to do with Talon."   The warrant officer thought for a moment and nodded. "Yeah, I guess that could be it."   "I'll have to ask him about it sometime later."   "Or you could just read Claw's mind and find out."   Darkhawk grinned. "I hadn't thought about that."   "So who are you rooming with?" Liquid asked as they headed off toward the briefing, matching their strides so that they marched in unison.   "Denethor."   The flight leader laughed. "I feel for you."   "Yeah, well, I've had worse. And you?"   "Corran."   "You lucked out."   "Yeah, I guess so. I just don't see why we couldn't have roomed by flights."   "It's not that important," Darkhawk replied. "With any luck, this mission will be over soon."   "You think so?"   "I hope so. Let's leave it at that."   The two men rounded another corner inside the Nemesis and found themselves right outside of the briefing room. Darkhawk motioned for Liquid to enter first, and the commodore filed in right behind the warrant officer. They were the last two pilots to enter the room, and Arturus gave them a sharp glare as they took their seats in the rear of the room, sitting on each side of Solo.   "What took you so long?" the talented young pilot whispered.   "I had a run-on with Claw," Liquid responded.   Solo winced. "I'm sorry."   At that moment, Commodore Claw strode into the room and stepped up to the podium. Arturus remained seated right where he was, looking up at the ship captain for direction.   Oh, no. Liquid said to Darkhawk through the Force.   Obviously Claw thinks he's running this entire show, the older man replied.   This is going to be one fun mission.   Oh, I agree. I'm definitely looking forward to it now.   I hope that's sarcasm.   You never know, Darkhawk said. Messing with Claw could give us entertainment for hours on end.   Liquid shot the other Lusthawk a grin as Claw began to go over the details of the mission. You're going to get caught one of these days.   Nah.

"Greetings again men."  Claw began as he paced in front of the pilots in the hanger.  "I just thought I would briefly inform you as to how the army simulator works before you go with your incompetence and wreck every electronic system in the simulator.  From here you will go down to a large room that was made in the middle of this ship.  You will notice that it's size is immense and that it is compeltely empty.  You will all be issued the appropriate armor, sim weapons, and the helmets that will show you everything you see.  It will feel exactly like real life.  If you decide to run into a virtual wall even, your suit will react and give you the kind of pain you would expect in real life.  The only items that do not work in the sim are lightsabers, and some small personal gear that you may have.  You will all be issued what you need.  Ensign Arturus, you may take your men and begin your training mission.  I have kept the small briefing room next to the sim room open for you to brief and your men to change.  I have also assigned three Lieutenants and a couple of Warrant Officers to assist you and run the sim for you.  After the sim you amy use the briefing room and equipment to give an overview and a critique.  I will stop by occasionally to observe and I will give my thoughts at the end."  Claw concluded.  Arturus snapped a salute which Claw gave little notice to as he left the hanger. "Alright men, lets go to the simulator."  Art said as he deflated from his attention stance and became more natural again.  "By the way, does anyone have a spare uniform that might fit me?  Claw says I must wear a uniform while on board.  I kind of sold mine off as I didnt feel the need for it."  Art said awkwardly as he looked at his men.  Most of them were either too tall or too narrow in the shoulders to fit him properly.  "Ill see what I can work out later."  Art muttered as he left the hanger followed by his men.

    Jacen slid around a corner and sprinted down the narrow passageway.  He tossed his bags into a personal locker and yanked out the key.  He continued on to the Kaph meeting room where they were supposed to be as he ran.  He banged through the door just as a Commodore was coming through on the other side.     "Sh*t!" the Commodore grunted as he landed on his butt, bleeding out his left nostril.  "Why the hell don't you pilots watch where you are going?  That's two times too many today.  Moron."     "Hey, who the hell do you think you are.  I agree I shouldn't have run into you, but you should have been more cautious than to try and open the ENTER door," Jacen said heatedly.     The Commodore looked at the bold letters on the door.  He glanced up and with a smirk on his face said, "I must have lost enough brain cells last time that I can't read any longer.  Now if you will excuse me, I have to get Kaph going in their sim."     "Their sim?  D*mn, I better get down there before they do too much," Jacen said as he turned back out the door.  He threw a quick salute and raced down to the middlemost decks of the ship where Kaph was preparing for their simulation.  Jacen ran up to the Ensign and tapped him on the shoulder, "Hey, I am Crewman Jacen, Kaph 2-2.  I just got assigned to your Squadron the other day."     "Ah, yes, welcome to the squadron," Art said warmly.  "Do I know you from somewhere?"     "Possibly, I met a bunch of officers through a friend of mine who used to be in the Navy.  His name was Swomz," Jacen said.  Art nodded in confirmation.       "I remember now, we were at an awards banquet where Swomz was being appointed as Assistant Instructor for Flight School," Art said.  "Flight School has since been shut down, as you can quite easily see.  I believe you also know Denethor, Darkhawk, Liquid, Emon, Corran, and Sabre.  Solo, WYD, and Sk8guy you may not have met before," Art said as he pointed everyone out.     "Yea, I remember Darkhawk and Corran pretty well.  I remember Corran, Denethor, Sabre, and Emon were all members of Venom.  Isn't Liquid that guy that is a really good tech?" Jacen asked.     "Yea, but for now we better get suited up.  I don't want to get yelled at by Commodore Claw for being late," Art said jokingly.     "So that was the Commodore I ran into, or I should say, ran into me," Swomz laughed as he started to cloth himself.  He heard someone chucking and turned around to see Liquid practically crying he was laughing so hard.  "I wonder what's wrong with him..."

Liquid finished suiting up after plugging his datapad into his helmet. He sighed inwardly, wondering how much trouble he was going to get into for this. But then again...where's the fun in abiding by the rules? I dunno, where is it, DH? Nowhere, that's where. Now, make sure you activate the virus on my signal. OK... Liquid said as he finished snapping on his helmet. "This is Commodore Claw, getting ready to boot the training sequense in five...four...three...two...one. Initiate Training sequence." Claw said, pushing the button himself. The simulator started off simple enough, just a few hand-to-hand courses before it should get harder. Do it now. Darkhawk said plainly into the younger Dark Jedi's mind. Liquid pushed the button and brought his saber up to his palm with a flick of his mind. Immediately the green blade lleapt from the handle, caressing the screen. Success. Liquid thought, swinging easily through the first few holos. This is going to be completely easy. You've said a mouthful. DH said, following through on a swing.

Art finished his hand to hand combat exercises he was doing with Solo and turned to face the rest of his men.  "Ok good, now we will use everything the sim made available to us for an infiltration mission.  We will infiltrate a pir-"  Art began to say as he was startled by two bursts of light.  "What the hell?!"  Art exclaimed as he turned to face Liquid and Darkhawk.  "I should have known."  He said as he glared at the two dark jedi.  "Alright you jokers,"  he began as he took the sim command datapad from his sim suit belt.  "This is the command datapad, if you do not deactivate those sabers and eliminate the crack you sent into the system I will short circuit your helmets and start having random virtual objects smal into you.  Your suit is designed to give you the pain that you would recieve from that.  Eventually you will fall unconscious from shock and eventually die."  He said as he started typing into the datapad.  "You have ten seconds!"  He shouted as he continued to glare at the two men.

The younger of the two smiled as he stared defiantly into Art's eyes. Push it, Art, I dare you. He said into his commander's head. "What the?..." Arturus said, pushing the button. Liquid faked the first blow and then stood still, waiting for Arturus to realize it. "hehe....I added a few other things, too." The Dark Jedi smiled as he saw Claw walk into the room. Right on time, thought I felt an strong-headed idiot coming through the Force. Indeed.

Claw folded his arms across his chest after entering the holographic room.  With only a millisecond of a delay, the holographic representation of the Commodore did the same in everyone's goggles.  His lips were pressed together firmly in a frown.  "I suppose you find yourself a good slicer, Liquid.  Coding in a patch to a simulation program you've never touched before to act out the properties of a lightsaber as well as the Force is no small task.  If you hadn't messed it up, you would have been able to cut a hole through the floor and drop out of the programmed rooms.  However, once you touched that button, I saw exactly what you were doing.  Your hasty coding and inexperience with my simulation program that took me many months of solid coding has shown through." he said with contempt.  A slight smirk formed on his face and he added, "Go ahead.  Kill me.  I know you'd like to.  I'm wearing the same equipment you are.  Strike me down with your holographic weapon." Liquid grinned as he gave his lightsaber a twirl, listening to the hum that he told the program to add when it was activated and the different pitch to give it as it moved.  Once his saber returned to both hands, Liquid kicked off of the deck hard and leapt toward the Commodore who had just asked for his death.  Claw stood still with his arms crossed and the smirk stayed.  His eyes showed nothing but indifference. The green blade connected with the hologram of Claw and it passed clean through.  Arturus winced as he waited for the ship captain to fall to the ground in two neat halves holographically and the real Claw to drop to the ground, dead from his own equipment.  Liquid brought his weapon to bear again in a hasso position and waited.  The blade flickered a few times and then the hologram faded into nonexistence.  Claw reached forward and grabbed hold of something on Liquid's belt that didn't appear in the holo-world.  He ripped the datapad off of the ensign's belt and lifted his goggles long enough to disable it.  After repositioning the hood, Claw stared into Liquid's eyes.  "Congratulations, Ensign, you just delayed your squadron's only simulation.  You have pushed back the entire schedule just because you couldn't follow a simple order." he said harshly.  Claw turned to leave and said over his shoulder, "The sim will be rebooted as soon as I'm back in the control room." The door shut behind Claw and Liquid turned to the rest of his squadron.  All of them were glaring at him.  Arturus especially.  That didn't go so well. he spoke through the Force. Indeed (OOC: Before you whine about this, I'm only trying to keep the story realistic)

Denethor shook his head in contempt at the actions of his fellow Flight Leader. He needs a swift kick in the ass Den thought to himself as he leaned his back onto one of the walls of the simulator. So far in the sim much of what they'd covered Denethor already knew from adventures with his brother and things that his father had taught him on smuggling runs when he was younger. Denethor shook away the memories of his father and his life before the Empire and took off his sim helmet. After placing the helmet on the floor, his eyes scanned the room, fixacting on each pilot in Kaph squadron. Many were snickering or shaking their heads at the actions of Liquid, while Darkhawk and Liquid were playfully acting out what had just happened. Cursing them under his breath his eyes caught sight of a pilot - that he recognized, but knew wasn't in Kaph - sitting with his back rested against another wall of the simulator. Denthor walked over to Arturus and tapped him on the shoulder,   "Art," he said pointing the mysterious pilot "Who's that pilot over there?"   Art looked over and suppressed a laugh.       "Oh, that's Crewman Jacen, he's new to Kaph, and in your Flight." "My flight?" Denethor coughed       "Yep."   "Oh goody"       "Oh don't be so hard, the only problem with him is that he's friends with Swomz." That didn't make Denethor feel any better about finding out a few ours before a mission that a new pilot was being thrown into his flight.    "Well, I guess I better introducec myself to him, he will be my wingman, and possibly my gaurdian angel." Denthor threw Art a wink, which Art returned and walked over to Jacen. The two spent the rest of the time while they waited for Claw to reboot the simulator to get aquainted and figure out eachother's weaknesses. Denethor introduced Jacen to Solo and Emon. Finally after about two hours time, Claw's voice kicked in over the comm and informed them all that the simulator was about to start up again. Each Kaph placed their helmets on and started the simulator back from the beginning. Many sighed and cursed Liquid's little stunt, they really didn't feel like doing it all over again after already learning it.

(OOC: I know this is a long time coming but here it is) Art put his helmet and gear back on and assembled the squad back into the room.  "Alight men, I'll activate the sim now.  When it starts, it will feel and seem like this is the real thing so it will be excellent practice for when we need these skills in real life.  The mission is simple.  We have been inserted into a rebel occupied city, there is a large communications/radar base that is vital for the entire sector.  Imperial forces need this sabotatged in order to ship supplies through this sector to a planet that is experiencing a natural disaster.  We have developed an elaborate plan to infiltrate the base.  We have captured 2 rebel officer and 3 soldiers, we have their id cards which are modified for our profile.  I will be a Major in the rebel intel corps, that was one of the officers we captured.  Darkhawk is a lieutenant in charge of a small detail who arrested a group of smugglers trying to jupm through the sector.  Denethor and Solo, and Jacen will be the two rebel soldiers attached to Darkhawk's detail.  The rest of you will be in loosened handcuffs which you can break through once we enter the base.  Remember, we are in a large city, we cant start the battle until we enter the facility.  AN attack from the outside would be suicidal for us and would kill many civilians.  MAke sure you dont blow your cover, it is imperative that we get inside first.  There is a large rebel garrison four miles away, if we are lucky we can get in and accomplish our mission before they arrive.  As for a getaway we will take what comes.  Good luck, here we go."  Art finished as he pressed the button and activated the sim.  Seconds later he saw himself in an officers uniform surrounded by his men in rebel uniforms and some of his men in smuggling clothes.  They were in a cluster of buildings.

(OOC: Since none of you seem to want to post I'll start talking to myself) "Alright men, the rebel communications and radar post is in the middle of a nine square block area in the downtown.  We are currently five blocks from one of the entrances to that area.  All the entrances have armed guards so we are going to have to be cool and professional.  Do it right and nothing goes wrong.  We have to get inside that building and disable the center.  Lets go."  Art said as he led his men down the street.  The men disguised as soldiers had their blasters out and pointed into the backs of the men dressed as smugglers.  The goal of this was to prevent anyone casually noticing that the handcuffs were not secured.  It was necessary to keep the element of surprise if at all possible. Ten minutes later, the men were within a block of one of the entrances to the military district.  They could see patrols walking the streets here and vehicles sitting by the gates up ahead.  The men moved towards the gates and stopped when they were in a few meteres of them. "Lieutenant!"  Art barked as he pulled out his forged identification.  "I am Major Andreas Padorin, intelligence, I have with me a patrol of soldiers bringing prisoners for interrogation, I require the services of your command center.  open these gates at once!"  He ordered as he flashed his id.  The Lieutenant seemed slightly shaken but willing to stand up to the Art. "I am sorry sir, the base is in look down mode.  We have heard that there are possible enemy intelligence officers and commandos in the area, we are not allowed to let anyone it."  The Lieutenant tried to say as firm as he could. "Listen to me Lieutenant, you open that god damned gate right now and let me in or you will be a friggin cadet again, understood?!  It is vital that these men are jailed and interrogated.  Look at the insignia and open the gate!"  Art demanded flashing his rank.  This time the Lieutenant gave in. "Very well sir but you must be escorted by a squad of men.  Have you men secure their weapons and put them away, they are not needed in here."  The Lieutenant said as he opened the gates.  Another Lieutenant inside one of the guard posts made a call and shortly after, a squad of men approached Art.
