The first thing that changed was the sudden rush back into consciousness as the dropship hit ground...hard.  The second came the bone weary pain that seemed to envelop him. 

This soon passed as he realized no one was moving to set up a perimeter. Groaning, Fury stumbled to his feet and tried to open the hatch.  The automated system was not working so he pried open an access panel and worked the manual release until the large bay door groaned open a bit.  Vegeta got up and took over once the door was half down.  This allowed him to take a look at Haun.

Faragos-Tinn had gotten most of the trooper's armor off and was running a medisensor over him, likely obtained from the ship's medical stores.  "Sir, it looks like his back got broken during the landing.  Doesn't matter really, the heat put him into a coma so I doubt he felt it.  At least, you'd hope not."

"Do what you can. Find a way to hydrate him and pump him with some painkillers just in case he wakes up. I'm going to check on the pilot and figure out what our situation is."

Pointing to Eagle13, who was collecting their gear, he said, "Take a look outside and set some sensors.  Take Vegeta with you.  I need to know where we are, whose nearby and what went wrong."  The trooper picked up a blaster rifle and a sensor pack and headed for the ramp.

Scrambling into the cockpit, he found what he had feared.  The pilot was deathly pale and holding his ribs.  "Not my best landing," he muttered.  Fury ran back and grabbed the medisensor from Faragos-Tinn and gave the pilot some painkillers.  He wasn't enough of a medic to know what to do in this case. 

The pilot pointed to a datapad he had apparently been tapping on. Fury picked it up. Not bad for a condition report by a half-conscious man.  The dropship was essentially done for.  Heat damage had taken out one of the repulsorlifts, which had aided in causing the hard landing.  Most of the cargo crates were reporting cracked seals.

Worse news though, was the telemetry data.  The dropship had crashed 25 kilometers to the east of the rest of the squad.  At least they were on the same island.  Instead of being behind the lines, they were now placed in a flank position to the right of the front lines.  Fury pointed to the comm unit.  The pilot shook his head.

Walking back to the hold, he gave the sensor back to Faragos-Tinn and pointed him off to the pilot.  Heading outside, he found Eagle13 setting up remote sensors half a klick away.  Vegeta was busy digging out some trenches around a heavily damaged home.  Inside, gear was already placed to monitor sensor readings.  It would be dark in a few hours and without adequate knowledge of their status, it would be a really long night.  Fury got to work assessing what gear they would need and how they would get word to the Imperial forces about their condition.

Since Kairo was out of an At-Pt he was forced to do communication work for his group. Right now he is on his way to the shuttle shocktech had landed a few kilometers away from the destroyed walker construction facility. "Where is that stupid shuttle," Kairo said as he clawed his way through the folliage. "He said it was not far north...."

A few minutes later the shuttle came into view. "Feew. I thought I would never make it. Finally I can get a fresh pair of clothes on. This walker outfit is in shreds."

Walking up the docking ramp Kairo headed straight for the locker. "Hope this thing has a spare suit." Opening up the hatch he was rewarded with a fresh walker suit. "I was hoping for somthing different, but this is better than nothing.Time to head to the cockpit."

  Hopping into the pilots seat he switched on the intercom and started reading the incoming reports. "Lets see here. Dvader still hasn't run into much trouble. Dark Pheonix and Otto Vox haven't run into much trouble either. It seems like we beat them, but I have this feeling that somthing isn't right. Lets check in with Xaivier and Shocktech." Switching to Iron horse frquency he said, "Hey Shocktech have you run into anything?"

While waiting for a reply Kairo looked at the long range radar. He was startle at the huge mass of rebel troops that were headed for the Dark Dragoons. Picking up his com unit he signalled Otto Vox, "Sir there is a huge rebel task force headed at the Dark Dragoons. I think they might need some help."

OOC: Mission=get rid of rebels i thought, and try and make peace with the planetary government. Could be wrong. Maybe Japer or Rizz would care to help clarify this one? /OOC:

Angel depressed the detonation trigger..........nothing happened...

"WHAT THE...." he yelled.

"Did you check the power cells on it?" snipes asked.

"Of course i did, i mean this is rebel equipment but..." Angel opened the power cells, only to find them depleted. "Anybody got a spare power cell?" he asked

"No," jed said, "but i can slave a blaster pack to it. You have an extra one of those?"

"Ya sure, haven't been using them lately, here ya go." Angel said handing the detonator and blaster pack to Jed. jed got to work and in a few minutes had evreything ready.

Jed you're the architect here, you do the honors. jed pressed the trigger. a muffled *pop* emitted from the facility, and for a few seconds, nothing happened. then the walls started to buckle and crumble. The ground started shaking as large chunks of duracrete fell from the facility.Then the entire thing began to collapse in upon itself. the ground rumbled and shook as the facility collapsed.  the remaining rebel walkers were distracted by the destruction of their base, and IH took advantage of that situation. Angel could see an ESPO walker wading through the enemy lines, and he knew it was Otto.

'Umm, angel..." snipes piped up, "weren't we just supposed to sabotage it? I mean when we take the planet...wouldn't a fully fucntional walker facility been useful?"

Angel remained silent..."We were sent hre to sabotage, so i sabotaged...meh im sure there are others on this god forsaken planet."

Jed opened a comlink to Rizzit, "Rizz this is Jed, mission accomplished, waiting for further instructions."

"i want snipes and you to come back here and help us out, we need a sharpshooter. Angel you come back to and lay some booby traps for the incoming rebel forces, then go help find out what happened to Fury and the rest of drill. we had reports that their drop didn't go very well. I may have you take mara along to help find them and treat any injuries. Rizzit out"

The trio hopped back on their speeder bikes and floored it back to the front.

"Guys, i need to make another stop at that rebel supply shed to grab some IM mines and other toys. you can come with or go on ahead your choice." Angel said over the bikes com unit.

"We'll stop by to grab blaster packs and the such." Jed replied, "but lets hurry...."

"When an 800lb gorilla has ya by the tits...ya listen" - Robin Williams
"Do not be to eager to deal out death and judgment, even the very wise cannot see all ends"- Gandalf

(ooc: back from holiday now I'm bored of commanding so I'm going to have some fun. By the way the days on this planet are VERY VERY long if I'm correct so we still wouldn't be in light I don't think!)
    Within half a second of kuroishi's bullet smashing through a certain captains window the light outside the front of the building blew. The area around the one entrance through the perimeter fence was momentarily lit by thousands of sparks and then plunged into darkness. The two guards were already on full alert they knew that a small force of imperials had advanced beyond them and an attack was expected.
    The first guard went to the light, whilst the other picked up a heavy duty light and flicked the switch for the emergency light on the roof of the hut flooding the road with light. It cast eerie shadows, but revealed nothing more the guard carried on scanning the surroundings.
    Slowly the first guard bent down, noticing something out of the corner of his eye. He picked up what was essentially a small black blade. He hefted up his rifle and looked all around him.
    "There's got to be someone out here!" he shouted back. He edged back slowly to the small hut on the side of the road. Once inside he kept his rifle shouldered and joined his companion in scanning the road leading to the docking bay.
    A small scraping noise from above was all the warning they had. Both men looked up. A small black figured swung down through the open door landing between the two men. The movement of his hands were two fast to see, but a moment later one of the guards struggled weakly with Raziel's arm tight around his neck, the other wavered blood spurting from his neck. Raziel withdrew his knife from the seconds neck and used his free hand to break the others spine.
    It had been 2.5 seconds between the light going out and the guards switching on the backups. After a brief spell of training with Japheth Raziel was at a level of physical fitness he had not attained since working on nar Shaddaa. 2.5 seconds had been more than enough.
    He looked down at the console in front of him and flicked a few switches, he tapped his comm.-unit and beeped twice to the rest of the squad. The fences were all wired up to this building, the system had been advanced to say the least so Raziel had taken out the source. When his squad signalled back he would follow them into the building covering their backs from the shadows. His comm. unit beeped once.


    "Snipers on the roof's outside!" shouted the squad leader. The four men had been sent to the front of the building fully armed. The front lights would go out for ten seconds and let them get out safely, the plan was then to come up on the snipers from behind. They were well trained, confident and armed for the job.
    The light went out and the four men sprinted across the lawn in almost complete darkness. To Raziel this was as clear as day.
    "Easy sport," he whispered. He projected his voice and shouted out. Instantly the four men were down on their knees taking aim. 'good training'. Raziel leapt from the tree behind them and slit the last ones throat before changing his momentum and diving to the side. The other three soldiers turned and saw their comrade fall to the floor, clutching at his neck.
    Before any of them could react again a knife whistled through the air and lodged in the squad commanders chest. He was knocked from his feet clutching at the knife, he gun skittered across the ground. The two others turned as he fell back, letting their rifles swivel off aim. They turned back to see a dark form crouched in front of them, green eyes glaring at them. To both of them he seemed to leap through the air in slow motion, but neither of them could bring their rifles around quick enough. He landed gracefully between them and brought up both his arms. The one on his left was quick enough to lean back and get up his forearm to block the blow, the other was far too slow and Raziel's fist connected solidly with his temple.
    The quicker of the two grabbed onto Raziel's left arm, holding it high and tried to bring his rifle across to shoot at Raziel's exposed belly. Raziel used the man's strong grip to lift himself off the floor, not realising what his assailant was doing the soldier kept his grip. Lifting both feet off the floor Raziel kicked the soldier hard in the chest, right before he could be shot.
    The two went flying away from each other. The soldier landed hard, Raziel was up in a flash descending on his opponent with his knives.

    The squad looked up from where he laid. He couldn't see where his gun had landed, or where his squad was. The impact of the blow had dazed him, but the knife had lodged firmly in his armour. Suddenly the lights came back on, stood right in front of him was their attacker. It was an imperial storm commando, but he had faced them before and they never fought like that. He jumped to his feet, combat knife in hand and launched himself at the imperial. Raziel shifted his weight to one side and launched one hand at the others wrist. As the knife flew from the sergeants hand all he could think was impossible. Then Raziel's own knife shot out at his exposed neck.

    "Raziel this is Yun," Radio silence was broken, that meant either good news or terrible. Sounded like the former. "We've taken the command centre, what now?"
    "Ok hold up there, make sure no-one can take it back! Turn off all the lights if you can. Find out where the officers are and try and light them up. I'll deal with the last few men hanging around." There was no reply.
    Raziel was inside the building now, moving quickly through the dark corridors. This brought back many memories to him, normally he would be running through dark corridors trying to find that one target. This time every living thing in this building was his target.

    They had obviously not been quick enough. The rebel squad dubbed "the tiger's" had been moving towards a distress call from the other remaining squad "the flash." One-by-one they had lost radio contact with the others. First the small elite fire team had only gone outside for a few seconds before they disappeared, the squad leader had something about their bodies being on the lawn but he wasn't sure. Then the patrolling guards on the east side had gone, then another squad was lost shortly after mounting an attack to retake the control centre. Over the last minute or so the leaders less soldiers still inside the base were lost one-by-one.
    The base suddenly seemed not to be their own anymore. In the almost pitch black every corridor took on an entirely different quality. Every sounds from a piece of machinery had them all jumping from their skins. This is no way to fight! the squad leader thought.
    The squad leader looked around at the dead bodies that had been flash squad. He realised he was alone now. He looked round at his squad, noticing their fear. Aiming his torch at the far door he said:
    "Let's get out of this damn place, I have no idea how many imperials there are, but we cant do any good now," Then there was a crack behind them. They all turned to see the limp form of one of their men fall to the floor. None of them thought to look up. There was a clang behind them, immediately seven flashlights focused on a grenade rolling towards them. Bodies flew through the air and in the brief flash of light Raziel was visible falling from the ceiling onto the man furthest from the explosion. A few moments later and it was over.
    Raziel held up the rebel comm unit he had been using to track the rebel soldiers. Silence. Raziel's chest was heaving up and down rapidly and blood soaked his clothes, giving the black uniform a shiny appearance. He had not exercised his skills in that way for a long long time. He had missed it.
    "Raziel to all squads we are now in control of the Docking Bay HQ.  Enemy resistance has become non-existant in our area.  We've opened a small window for supply runs from above now.  Wraith set up to hold against counter attacks.  A transport with the rest of our gear is supposed to be on it's way." Raziel smiled.

[OOC:  Woohoo some support again!  Now let's see if I can keep a post from getting lost this time.  /OCC]

"Raz.  Got some good news and some bad news.  Sounds like Fury has gotten a little off track due to some ak-ak, but we have managed to get at least some fresh supplies from the other ship that did make it through.  We don't have an exact fix on his position and the other squads are sending out recon patrols of thier own to try and find him, they probably could use some help.  What are your orders?"  Yun said as he looked up from the report on the comadiered commcenter display.

"First order of buiseness no matter what is to get resupplied.  If we don't do that we'll be no good to anyone.  Kuroishi, Argon.  As the strongest two you'll get the honour of packing our supplies from the dropzone back to our HQ here."  Raziel replied.

"Well if that is the case then perhaps I should get those turrets we had to blast on our way in back in order as well.  I saw a candy shop for technicians on my way here."  Kuroishi said with a slight glee that disturbed everyone.

Kuroishi lacking his own prearanged toolbox just grabbed the biggest toolbox he could find from the repair facilities and filled it with his ussual tools, welding torches, multi-tools, wrenches, crowbars, chisels, armor peelers, screw drivers, and his personal favorite which he couldn't put in the tool box, the biggest sledge hammer he could find.

Kuroishi grabbed what spare parts he was certain to need and what he could carry that he thought he would need.

Scrambling up to the roof turrets he started to work while there was a lull in the assaults.

"Give me five minutes and turret one will be back on-line."  Kuroishi said as he diagnosed.

It had been awhile since his first mission, and about as long since a mission which put him way off course from any friendlies and left him counting on green troops to save his bacon from the fire.  Of course, Faragos-Tinn was on the verge of falling apart seeing as all of the above applied to him.

So, Fury took the time to keep one eye on the sensors and another on the trooper driving the Chariot.  He had the vehicle combat experience and should have been driving, but if the rookie had control of the weapons systems, every small creature in their path would've already been taken out by blaster fire.  Not to mention that this would have alerted any locals that bad guys were in the vicinity.  To pass the time, he told the trooper stories of frelled-up missions he had been on in the past and how he managed to emerge unscathed.  He also took the time to let the trooper know that being nervous and cracking up would get everyone killed.  A battlefield was not a place for psychoanalysis and sometimes the only way to get a trooper to fight was to play the guilt card.  No one ever wanted to let their buddies down.

Eventually, they got through their route and made it near the objective unopposed.  Having taken the shortest route, Fury decided to dismount and walk the last kilometer to the rally point.  It would give Faragos-Tinn a little time to walk off any extra anxiety.  At the moment, Fury's patience was just about at its breaking point.  Having shared some tales with the rookie, the trooper had decided to reciprocate.  He'd heard enough stories about growing up on an Outer Rim backwater to last a lifetime.  The young trooper had changed the names but it was the same old story.  Frankly, it was amazing half of these kids didn't off themselves by the time they were 13 if things had truly been that bad. 

Fury pointed out danger signs and how to find the best path in a shattered urban landscape.  Faragos-Tinn was a surprisingly quick study for a rancher's kid.  Twenty minutes later and they had arrived at the rally point and heard a slightly muffled speeder bike engine in the distance.  They made their way to a building with relatively clear fields of fire all around and at least two viable escape routes.  They heard the speeder bike engine again, this time a bit louder.  A voice muttered to the left of them, "Idiot."

Vegeta climbed down from the pile of rubble he had slid up to.  Putting away his macrobinoculars he walked up to Fury and Faragos-Tinn. They were holed up in the shattered ruins of a neighborhood cantina.  Faragos-Tinn was busy activating some sensors.  "How long have you two been here?" asked Vegeta.

"About five minutes.  I've been watching you come in.  Good job."

Vegeta just nodded and thumbed back outside.  "Sir, you've got to do something about that kid.  No sooner had you two left out of visual range and that goofball gunned his speeder and went off on a tear.  I was left playing catch-up for the first two klicks.  He went right by an E-Web nest.  If they hadn't still been watching his vapor trail, I'd have been toast.  As it was, I got my shots off before they did theirs. 

"From there on, I left him to his own devices.  He never made any of the relay points on time, though I could hear him showboating in the distance.  Basically I just let him flush out enemy positions for me.  I took out another three emplacements and one squad-plus sized patrol. Its just that, I think he's probably more of a danger to us than he is to himself."

"Agreed," said Fury.  "I think we ought to be extra careful both when he shows up and when we leave."

"Oh, I forgot," said Vegeta.  Passing over a datapad, "I mapped out where I think some enemy holdouts are.  I also think that here- and here," pointing to designated sections of the map overlay, "and where they are hiding a lot of civilians. I saw more than the usual amount of kids running around this area and they would wave to me until they got a glimpse of armor under these rags."  Vegeta and Eagle13 had covered themselves in grayish cloaks before heading out to somewhat obscure themselves.

"Any trouble from that?" asked Faragos-Tinn.

"Only harassing fire.  Looks like they tried to get me out of there more than kill me.  I just don't think they wanted a fight right where they were." He finished with a shrug.

Fury nodded.  "Sounds about right.  If we ever get through the jamming we've been fighting, I'll send that info along.  Maybe we can cut the civilians off from the rest of the enemy forces and make them consider surrender.  Its not very tactful but it will get the job done."

A roaring engine plant made all three jump up and rush for the outside and whatever cover they could find.  Faragos-Tinn looked up from the sensor pack he was holding.  "One speeder, two others following and some kind of landspeeder."

Vegeta opened a comm line and led Eagle13 in.  Fury grabbed his A280 and crept back into the building and up to its second story.  There wasn't much there but some altitude and slight cover.  The panicking trooper almost rammed the building coming in, but managed to apply the brakes and jump off and up against a rubble pile, opening fire way too early and ruining shots for Fury; and apparently for Vegeta, who clotted him with a fist-sized piece of permacrete.

Fury got a new angle on one of the bikes trying to encircle them.  Without bothering to sight in the rider, he put a couple of bolts into the bike, flipping the rider off into a tangle of metal rods and permacrete.  Farragos-Tinn had grabbed a concussion rifle from the Chariot and was ranging out and taking shots at the landspeeder.  One eventually connected and the vehicle went up in flames.  He picked up his blaster and, with Vegeta's help, finished off the landspeeder's occupants while they were diving for cover.

Eagle13, to his credit, had chosen to target the remaining speeder bike, which was doing a good job weaving around obstacles and presenting a hard target.  Eagle13 had not yet taken a shot, patiently tracking the rider as he exhausted his energy taking hard turns.  Soon, it was obviously he would tire and make a mistake.  Fury saw the error as it was happening, a straight path along and 20 meter stretch of open space.  Eagle13 saw it too.  The shot took the rider in the chest and knocked him to the ground.  The bike sputtered and dropped to the ground, crushing the side of a residential building as it came to a stop.

Fury was about to warn the troopers that the riders could have called in backup when Eagle13 stood up and started cheering and yelling obscenities at his former pursuers.

That was when the sniper shot took him in the head.

    "There," Raziel said somberly pointing out into the darkness.
    "Where?" Yun asked. Raziel's unnaturally sharp eyes followed the rebel scout up to the perimiter fence. Soon the darkness strained his own eyes. He looked a few metres to the right of the troopers and let the more sensitive section of his eyes watch.
    "Use your night vision, it's just one scout. Take him out as soon as you can, my aim's not good enough."
    "At least you're honest," Yun replied shouldering his rifle. A second later he fired one shot. Raziel fired off one more himself just incase, but there had been no need. Yun's shot had been dead on. Whereas his own had missed the mark by almost a metre.
    "You suck,"
    "Don't be cheeky."
    "Sir,"

    "What have you got down there?" Raziel spoke into his comm unit. He had decided to allow the squad to use the comms freely for a while as long as they didn't use anything vital.
    "Not a lot sir, just the usual schedule of supplies and a systems check on the station. Apart from a few things we destroyed everything is running fine. Still awaiting transmission." Afyon replied. Raziel had ordered them to set the communicators to give off a certain "beacon" signal. Hopefully the people above would be getting into contact soon.
    "Sir," Yun whispered at Raziel.
    "Ok all good. They might not want to send anything our way untill someone has dealt with their anti-air weapons." The docking bay gave a good view over a section of the city and the hastily erected v-35 ion cannon stuck up like a sore thumb.
    "Sir!" Yun said a bit more intensly. Raziel turned quickly towards him and yun leant away, slightly suprised by his intense green eyes that shone in the half-light. Yun lifted a finger and pointed out to the fence. A group of soldiers were moving up towards the fence again.
    Before either of them could act a burst of fire from above them signalled that kuroishi had finished work on the first turret.
    "Wraiths get up here, attack from the east side. Kuroishi nice work. Make sure the turret on the west side is going next please and watch for any more men!"
    "Raz, communication coming through. You should get down here!"

    Raziel through himself into the chair. Infornt of him was a bank of screen displaying things from security camers to the systems read out afyon had been looking at. In one corner of the room were still the bodies of the three men the wraiths had killed to break into the command centre. The signs of fighting where Raziel's men had made a stand were still apparant.
    Before answering the call Raziel flicked a few switches and brought the external cameras online. He could see a squad of soldiers prone on the floor trying to get into a firing position away from the turret.
    "SGM Raziel here what can i do for you?" he noticed that the video signal had not been activated.
    "I must be brief. We are sending down several squads of troopers in a small fast shuttle. They will have just enough ammunition to hold out. Show them the supplies we landed earlier. More will come when air defences disabled." Suddenly the communication cut short.
    Raziel immediately checked the signal. It was genuine. Still he would have his rifle shouldered when the troops landed.

    "Squad i'm coming up. We have friendly company coming to join us!"


(ooc: maybe Raiders could fall back to the docking bay and take care of defence whilst we go off and trash the anti-air. When thats down and we start landing troops they'd probably cave. Wraiths feel free to land some regular troops and then go off hunting their ion cannon.)

Angel jed and snipes stopped at the supply shed and restocked their ammo, Angel his explosives. Jed and snipes finished first, and took off without Angel, leaving him to grab what he could.

Ditching his speeder bike for the last landspeeder, Angel filled it to the brim with explosives and detonators. The repulsorlifts groaned under the stress, but the speeder still made pretty good time making it from the shed to where the Raiders were setting up.

Mara and JR were unloading supplies brought in from the docking bay, while Rizzit was helping jyse set up E-Webs and gun emplacements.

Angel rode up to Rizzit. "Hey boss, i've got a bunch of toys I'm going to go plant out there as a welcoming committee."

"Just remember where you put them, and mark it off on our side so DD and IH dont decide they want to go play in a mine field."

"Roger that, whats rebel ETA?" Angel said

"About 7 minutes. heavy reinforcements from the other planetary base." Rizzit replied.

"Guess i better hurry" Angel said as he sped off. He roared to about half a click out from the imperial position. then he got to work. He tied a thermal detonator to each heavy frag mine, giving a little extra firepower and destruction. To the average frag mines, he strapped some more explosives and some frag grenades.

Within 5 minutes, he had a makeshift minefiel set up, covering an area of about 100 sq meters. speeding back to the Raider position, he made a quick sign, putting a skull and explosion on it, then stuck it into th ground.

"Rizz, any word from Fury yet?"

"No, we lost contact once they entered the atmosphere, and havent heard from them since."

"anybody go and look for them?"

"nope, fury's a big bot, he can handle himself, and if anyone can handle those Drill Newbies, its him. He can whip them into a fearsome fighting force."

The comlink on Angel's speeder beeped, and a transmission came through.

"Attention all REpulic squads. Attention all republic squads, intelligence reports possible priority 1 imperial presence on Fresia. Head of Army.....Lt. General Fury is reported to be on planet. position unknown, all sqauds be on alert."

"umm rizz, dont you think we should look for him now?" Jyse piped in, still setting up emplacements.

"NO way. If we leave, that will lead them right to him. You heard them, they have no idea where he is, the last thingwe want to do, is lead every rebel on the planet to Fury. We enagage the enemy here." Rizzit ordered, "Angel, take JR and go help TJ and the wraiths with the troop landings. We can handle the rebels."

"Roger that sir."

Angel fired up the much lighter speeder, and picked up Jr from where he was helping Mara.

"Lets go find your brother JR," Angel said, "and land some more troops while were at it..."

[OOC:  Suprise suprise suprise.  ANOTHER Massasi temple.  Well I guess that's what we have to deal with when no one has an over-riding idea of what is actually supposed to be on this world and what opposition we're to face.  Well I guess I have been doing this long enough that it sorta could make sense that I'd see the seven temples, four strongholds, two cults, and the dozen or so other random dark jedi encounters I've seen in my time.  Some of those numbers are quite likely exaderated because of my poor memory but let's just move along now. /OOC]

Kuroishi looked at the other turret and knew if he could get this one working it would be a minor miracle.

Sure Kuroishi was skilled in such endevours but even the greatest tech couldn't fix every machine.

"I got a chance to fix that turret but I need some more parts and that ion cannon I see is looking like it wants to volunteer."  Kuroishi said to Raz as he entered the command centre Wraith had set up.

"Can't you scavage from anything in this docking bay?"  Raziel replied.

"Nope.  I've checked every transport and every yacht.  The part I need just ain't here and if I improvise it from something similar we're risking an overload that'll shut down all the turrets each time it fires.  The system is built so that if one of the turrets has a power outage the other three will compensate and provide the fourth with power.  So if something shorts out in the improvised part which is quite likely the power system will not be able to handle it.  Give me a couple minutes to pack up some stuff and I'll be ready to get what I need from that ion cannon."  Kuroishi answered.

"Well I guess we'll be killing two birds with one stone.  Get on the horn and find out when those members from the other squads will get here.  Kuroishi is going to need some help getting what he needs and we won't be able to give it to him and hold this facility at the same time."  Raziel barked.

The rest of the action was fairly anticlimatic.

Once Farragos-Tinn had managed to get into position, he and Vegeta began laying down sporadic fire.  Using a preset list of channels, they would click right before laying down fire.  Fury would move and change to the next channel and respond with a click that he was ready for the next salvo.  It took a couple of hours and the sniper got lucky and found their channel on two occasions but neither of his snapshots were able to connect, though Fury could swear there was a scorch mark on the back of his left leg armor from the second one.

Eventually he was able to sprint close to the building the sniper was in.  Checking his datapad, he could still see life readings on the upper floors.  Three demolition packs around the already ruined structure would probably be enough to bring it down.  Just in case, he set a couple of anti-personnel mines on both remaining stairwells and backed off slowly, under cover of fire.  Farragos-Tinn had come in closer and was delivering more accurate fire.

A quick three-click "fire in the hole" warning and he lit off the charges.  The basic demo course he'd taken had been long enough ago that only one side fully collapsed to the ground.  It was enough to expose the sniper though, who hit the stairs pursued by a volley of shots from Farragos-Tinn.  Fury quickly moved in and tried to find an open shot.  Just to motivate the sniper, he shot at where he thought the stairwell would be with the A280, which made enough of a punch to, if not break through a foot of permacrete, at least make someone on the other side pay attention.

It was a moot point anyway as he soon heard the mine going off and an acknowledgement from Vegeta that he was the only biological reading left around the building.  Farragos-Tinn and he moved in, stripped the sniper of any datacards and papers he had on him - plus the rifle and blaster packs - and quickly headed back to Vegeta.  After taking the hike back to the Chariot, Vegeta took point on his speeder and they moved off to their next objective.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three hours later, Vegeta swung back around and led them to a burned out warehouse district.  He had scouted it out on foot and declared it empty of habitation.  As the evening was moving in and storms were on the horizon, it seemed as good a place as any to stop considering they had not noted a sign of life since the ordeal with the sniper and his pals.

Each took a quick ration bar and some water as a light dinner.  Then Fury took the first watch while Farragos-Tinn went fairly far out from their camp and laid some anti-personnel mines and sensors.  With only three of them in this group, any surprise would be hard to handle.

Farragos took over while Fury caught a few hours sleep.  He would awake after Vegeta's duty shift, which would still make it dark, but after the events of the day, the long night wasn't hurting anyone.  Surprisingly, neither trooper had much to say about Eagle13.  They had buried him, taken his gear and personal effects and stowed them in the Chariot, but other than a couple muttered comments about his lack of composure, that was it.

It was as if they were ashamed to have shared the same unit with the failed trooper.  Hopefully it would motivate them to try harder.

Fury awoke to see Vegeta struggling to stay awake.  Fury didn't quite startle him as he moved towards the sentry post located in an old warehouse guard tower.  "Anything on the sensors?" he asked.

"Not even a rat sir.  Farragos didn't notice anything either.  Isn't that kinda strange?"

"Yeah, it is.  Maybe its been all picked over.  We have had forces on the planet for awhile.  Plus, this looked like a clean and orderly planet.  No major agriculture.  It could be they don't have a lot of pests."

"I swear I've seen small bone piles as we've been travelling though.  There at least used to be small creatures about.  Maybe pets.  I don't know; this is just creepy."

Fury nodded.  "Don't let it get to you.  And don't let your mind wander about it.  I've been starting to myself.

"Tell ya what, set up a small fire and nudge Farragos before you turn in.  Maybe he can whip up something warm with the rations we have.  Maybe even some coffeine.  It will be dark for a couple more hours.  We should use it to make some headway.  I'll stay guard while you get a warm meal and pack our gear up.

"Its just creepy enough for me to think maybe we should get out of here.  If just to make us all a little less edgy."

Vegeta nodded and slowly moved back to camp.

Afyon split off from the squad and made his way down towards the area where the first of the ion cannons were. It had an electrified fence around it and a small barracks inside the compound along with a small control staton.

Afyon looked closer and saw the tight security at the only gate.  There was no way he could hit the cannon and live to tell about it.  What he needed was a rebel uniform and id.  His datapad could handle modifying an authorised id by adding his picture but he needed a uniform.  He climbed up the hill abit more through the trees and saw two men on patrol.

There were regular patrols around the compound.  Afyon drew his knife from the back if his belt and slowly made his way up.  The two men were maybe 20 meters apart.  Afyon came up behind the closest one and stabbed the knife into this neck, covering the soldier's mouth in the process.  the soldier did manage to get out a yelp which the other soldier heard.  He turned around and Afyon drew his pistol set it to stun, and shot the soldier.  He then threw some leaves over the dead soldier and took the uniform from the unconscious one.  When he had the uniform and all the ammo he could hold, Afyon stabbed the other soldier and hid him in some bushes.  Now he was ready.

Fury's grumbled that even with an upgraded version, the Chariot only came with one weapon.  In this case it was a forward mounted autoblaster; which, when fed data by a way-more-than-adequate targeting system, cut through the mob threatening to charge at them from the southwest of their position. 

"Damn what I wouldn't give for a concussion grenade launcher," he mumbled.  Though that was more for his benefit. The autoblaster was making short work of their unarmored opponents.

Seeing that their dinner was about to leave, dozens of beings began to converge on the path the Chariot was using to depart.  After a few meters, they found that being directly in front of the vehicle was an invitation to death due to the autoblaster.  This then led to the next logical move - attacking from the sides.

This logical move forgot to factor in the earlier knowledge of the mines set out by the Imperials.  With the odds trimmed down considerably, Fury debated whether to stick around and mow down the whole damn city if need be or to head on out.  Taking a glance back and seeing Vegeta struggling to stabilize Farragos-Tinn, he hit the accelerator, taking aim at a dozen of the cannibals.  What the gun didn't kill, the satisfying thump of meat meeting metal did.

Twenty minutes later there was no pursuit and no new opposition.  Another surprise would have come with the first idiot to try to start up the speeder bike they had left.  No visual inspection would have shown any tampering, unless you say the wires running to the power pack hidden in the fuel cylinder.  And that was just very unlikely.  Hopefully a good 5-10 of the beasts had died with that experience.

By now, he had gotten used to the static coming through the jamming on the always open comm channel.  Going through a cycle of the known Imperial channels used by the invading squads, he had been hoping for days for something to come through.  So it was actually Vegeta who had noticed the change in pattern.

"Sir, the jamming is gone." he said, tapping Fury on the shoulder.

It took a moment for him to realize what that meant.  "Okay, get on the horn if you can." The auxiliary comm unit was close to Farragos-Tinn.  Fury passed over his code cylinder.  "If you get any hassle, pipe through that authentication.  Let them know we have a severe injury and that we'll need to know where to go.  Also have someone meet me about picking up Haun and the pilot."

Vegeta nodded and started trying to find a friendly voice.  Fury finally managed to break a small grin for the first time in a long time.

A burst of rapid fire balsters filled Raz's ears and vision from behind as the small group of rebel approaching him were torn apart.

"Sorry it took me so long to get together my stuff.  Let's get you back inside then I'll fix that leg problem of yours."  Kuroishi said as he hauled Raz back inside the complex.

"What are you not trained to do?"  Raziel asked as Kuroishi set to work.

"Hey it's not like I could be a surgeon or even a full fledged field medic.  Even if I get the part I need I still may not be able to fix the last roof turret.  Besides I've been in some sort of military service for nearly thirty years now."  Kuroishi replied.

"We got some reinforcements so once the way is clear make your move and open up a hole for our dropships."  Razioel said as he tried to stand.

"It'll still be a bit numb for a while but it's better then being a prisoner.  Just give me a distraction and I'll have the ion cannon and it's accompaning turrets out of action."  Kuroishi said with a look on his face that Raz could sense through Kuroishi's helmet as he didn't really want to know what Kuroishi was thinking.
