After getting the best medics on the ground to care for Farragos-Tinn, he sent Vegeta in towards the med tents to check on talking out some of recent day's events with someone.  While he could be a right bastard about yelling at people to suck it up and do their jobs in the field, after action counseling was usually something that kept troopers from waking up screaming in the middle of the night and throwing thermal detonators around the barracks long after a mission.  So, beyond its obvious help in that regard, it was just good sense.  Hell, he'd probably check in and talk out some of this crap himself once he had a free moment.

The regulars were pretty thin on the ground here.  Apparently there were not too many of them, and not very well dug in yet either. But, finally, he was enough behind the lines to take off his helmet and bum a cigarra and a light from an off duty soldier.

Eventually he made his way to the makeshift command center where he was directly to a Major Timms.  He remembered the officer as a quickly promoted recruit that he had fought alongside during the recent defense of Lotaith.  A good man, but very impatient about the paperwork end of the job...and that was as an officer.  Sure enough, he found the young man berating an orderly trying to hand him a datapad of some minor but likely critical detail.

The orderly waited, and waited, and finally got the approval needed without saying a word.  Apparently he was used to the routine.  The soldier needed a medal, if not some form of sainthood, bestowed on him.

"Kind of rough on the help there, aren't you?" Fury asked after the orderly had left the office.

Timms jumped in the air and turned to face him.  "Geez, you about scared the life out of me." Pointing Fury to a seat he continued.  "Sorry General, we've all been short on sleep here.  That, and half of my staff was on one of the dropships who didn't make it groundside except as a cinder.  Including Daggitt, that supply sergeant who kept us fed on Lotaith."  Fury nodded.  The hairy old man had come out of retirement to serve the empire full time after having his home destroyed during the sneak attack by pirates and mercenaries.  Yet another sign the army needed new blood, and quickly.

Timms went on.  "Heard about your own dropship problems.  I don't know where these jokers keep coming up with air and space defense installations.  That must've been a minor industry here or something.

"Anyway, I figure you are here for an update as you sure as hell haven't spent any time looking for a refresher yet.  I mean, seriously sir, do you stormies just bathe in blood anymore to scare the hell out of us regulars?"  Fury looked down.  Fixing up Farragos-Tinn had not been orderly nor clean.  "Its from a trooper I dragged back from an ambush.  I ordered him to stay alive.  Thus far he's complied."

Timms grunted.  "He probably will then.  Orders are orders to you guys.  Alright, here's what I do know.  We managed to get an airskimmer out to your drop location.  That pilot managed to pile up about thirty bodies from long range and keep the rest away.  We dropped off a couple squads to mop up the area, but your trooper and the pilot are both topside taking a dip in the Dominion's bacta tanks.  For some damn reason, we can usually get a ship off the surface, its dropping us in that's the pain.

"We also managed to pick up a couple troopers from the other dropship.  The rendevous point was a complete shambles.  We lost our pickup crews and you lost a couple troopers but the rest managed to pull it together and hold the enemy off.  We've got them recuperating somewhere around here.

"As for the situation.  Like you, we've been sending hunter-killer teams out behind the lines, such as they are, and taking out pocket of resistance.  The cannibal angle is new but not unexpected.  I'll give the order to consider all civilians targets.  You guys have no problems with that, but our conscripts have to have those genteel notions of civilization beat out of them from time to time.

"On your right flank are the Wraiths and Raiders.  Actually, that's kind of the center of the line too as they've split into small groups and are doing a lot of nice hit-and-fade attacks.  Somewhere on the left is the mincemeat that used to be the Dark Dragoons and Iron Horse, which I suppose is more or less intact.  We tried sending some reinforcements that way but its really a mess.  Neither side has any coordination and they are caught under the same kind of jamming you were.

"As for here, we've got the better part of a company from the three that got dropped down here.  Most of that is either shell-shocked or wounded but we'll have this rear area secured within a matter of days.  Not that I have the authority to do so, but I suggest you wash, eat, and rest.  In that order sir.  I'll let those who need to know that you are alive and well."

Fury nodded and got up.  Questions could apparently wait until his brain could function properly again.  Getting some directions from the stoic orderly, he found lodging in a warehouse manager's office and followed Major Timm's orders to the letter.

[OOC:  I guess I'm just going to have to do my ussual hairbrained scheme to solve this situation.  I know I'll be going a bit super trooper here but since I'm not getting a whole lot of support I'm affraid that's about the only option.  /OOC]

The Wraiths had managed to hold back the first wave by the skin of thier teeth thanks to the timely arrival of two squads of regulars.

There were still no signs of any of the other squads in the sector controled by Wraith and the ion cannon and it's accompanying ak-ak turrets made it unfeasable to bring down more regulars at this juncture.

"Raz if I wait any longer that company of troops out there bearing down on us is just going to swat us like bugs.  We've already recieved intel reports on an artillary brigade protected by an entire division of mechanized infantry on it's way to pummle us into oblivion."  Kuroishi said as he changed blasters.

"You can't possibly get there by yourself and if I send anyone with you we won't control the docking bay and brining down reinforcements will be equally dead in it's tracks.  As bad as the situation is we have little choice to stay put until the other squads form up and give us and each other some support."  Raziel replied.

Kuroishi knew Raziel was right.  Without his VMCA and heavy sniper rifle there was no way Kuroishi could make it.

Things wouldn't be looking so bleak for the platton if they would just set themselves up to do what they did best.  Each squad applying it's strengths to cover for the weaknesses of the other squads and just rampage all over the enemy.  As it was the platoon was far too spread out to support itself.  There was a sizable presance of regulars that managed to sneak down while Wraith had temporarilly disabled the ak-ak firing controls that were routed through the military hq of the docking bay.  Now the rebels had rerouted the controls to an area they held.

"IH was supposed to be here by now to help us out.  If we don't get a move on this quick strike will turn into a slaughterfest of Wildcard platoon instead.  There has been no word from any of the other squads on thier conditions or positions.  Blast it all."  Kuroishi muttered as he came up with one last desperate solution.

Kuroishi started sifting though the mess that used to be an orderly and neat shuttle repair bay before rebel artillary had knocked everything out of place.

He found what he was looking for.  An old shuttle computer core.

Running it over with a few diagnostic tools and he found the particular part he was interested in was still functioning.  The IFF transmitter.

Next Kuroishi grabed a repulsor lift belt and put it on.  Followed by a sack filled with 20 kilos of C-8.

"Raz I got an idea and it only takes one person."  Kuroishi said as he returned to the makeshift bulwarks were Raz was positioned.

"Spit it out while we got a few minutes of calm."  Raziel replied.

"I'm going to put this old IFF transmitter from a shuttle that was in this bay for repairs before we landed and put it in one of our shuttles that's here on the ground.  After that I'll fly it over the ion cannon and it's surrounding ak-ak turrets and since they'll be caught off guard by the friendly IFF signal that'll give me enough time to 'download' right in the middle of them and cause severe and irreprable damage to the complex."  Kuroishi said holding the computer next to his chest.

"I'll probably regret this later but go for it. we need something to break this stalemate."  Raziel replied.

Kuroishi scrambled down to the shuttle that had been kind enough to bring down the two squads of regulars and set to work replacing the IFF transmiter with the one he scavanged.

The shuttle had been made flyable again by the pilot but the pilot was not needed in Kuroishi's plan since while he was not a very good pilot he could fly well enough to do what he needed.

The work proceeded quickly with the pilot's help and Kuroishi was sure he couldn't have done it without him.

"If you ever change your mind my otherself is always looking for pilots of your caliber."  Kuroishi tried and failed recruiting method held true.

Kuroishi didn't even strap himself in knowing this would either work or he'd be worse off surviving the crash.  Having as many warcrimes to your record as Kuroishi does makes it VERY unadvisable to be captured.

"To the few who dare.  Those who succeed.  What in god's name am I doing this sober for?"  Kuroishi muttered as he took off out of the hanger.

Some ground fire from blasters scorched the paint as the rebel infantry knew better than to check the IFF of a shuttle coming out of an imperial held hanger.

Kuroishi saw his intendid target.  The primary power supply plant for the ak-ak and ion cannon batteries that had caused them so much grief in getting forces down and back up.  While the rebels could reroute to secondary power sources that would take at least an hour and a lot of regulars could come down in that hour and then the platoon could show off it's true strengths.

Bringing the shuttle over the target was easy enough until the turrets started tracking the shuttle.  Kuroishi set the autopilot for 50 meters off the deck and opened the rear hatch.  Moving into position Kuroishi prepared himself.

"Forget Geromino.  Banzai!"  Kuroishi said as he jumped and activated the belt at maximum power.

The shuttle exploded in a hail of fire and schrapnel as the turrets blasted it to pieces.

Kuroishi hit the ground hard about six meters closer to his target then he planned and knew the pain in his legs meant he wasn't going anywhere for a bit.

Kuroishi saw where he wanted to place the explosives and just hurled the satchel right on target.

Kuroishi began to drag himself behind an unmanned turret then pulled out the remote detonator and pushed the button.

In a flash the lights in the area flickered before they completely began going out.

Kuroishi sighed as all he could do now was sit and wait fto either be rescued or captured.  Judging from his predicament he was more likely to be captured.

He might only have sprains in his legs and feet but he wasn't going to running out of here for a few moments.

  As IH group burst from the forest the first thing they noticed was that the docking bay was surrounded bye troops. The next thing they noticed was that they were all facing away from them. Otto Vox turned on his com unit and switched to the securest frequency he had, "Otto Vox here. Are you still alive in there Wraiths."

Raziel's voice broke over the speaker, "Boy am I glad to here a friendly voice. Where the hell have you been?"

"Oh we just decided to take a nice break. Actually the long range communication have benn out until recently. I don't know why its back, but it may have something to do with that crazy move your guy just pulled."

"Yeah, are you anywhere near him?" Raziel's said.

"Nope sorry."

"That's fine. Where are you though and how many do you have with you?"

"I have most of my squad with me, and I sent off Kairo to take out that ion cannon while the power is out. We happen to be to your south. Behind the troops and in the trees." Otto responded.

"We can't tell how many there are from in here without getting shot. Do have any idea?" Raziel said.

"I would probobly sayile turrets and about 150 infantry, a few mobile turrets, and maybe 5 salvaged walkers. Do you think the other squads are anywhere close?" Otto asked as he skimmed the area for any troops that were close by.

"I just got a report the the Raiders are on he other side of us, but that they're out of ammo." he said as he double checked that the frequency was secure.

"Darn. I quess the only way to do this is to sneak in and take a few of those walkers. While the Raiders try to find some ammo. If all goes well we can lauch a surprise attack from within and from two sides. That should confuse them enough to give us an edge. Then we can land some troops and take them out." Otto Vox said as he double checke his thought work.

"That might work, but I just gpt word that somehow the ion-cannon is still able to fire." Raziel replied with frustration.

"If Kairo does his job right then that won't be a proboblem. All we have to pray for is that no more troops come and that they don't decide to attack before he's done." Otto said as he hoped that Kairo would hurry up and take out the cannon.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

At that exact moment Kairo was just wondering how the rest of the squad was doing. Double checking to make sure the suplies Otto Vox gave him were ready to be used. "Lets see here. I have a sniper rifle, a blaster with some extra ammo, one of Shocktechs extra Sith Swords, a flah grenade, some heavy explosives, and some infrared goggles Dp had with him. Where do the get all this stuff?" Kairo said.

Looking ahead he saw the ion cannon coming up. Slowing down he dropped to the ground and pulled out his sniper gun.

Zooming in he saw why it was still opporational even after the power wnet out. "Damn they have a backup generator. Sneaky Rebels. I will just have to fix that." Taking a closer look he saw only a few gaurds patroling the perimeter. He decided to wtach a little longer to see idf there were any gaps in there movement.

Sure enough there was just a long enough break for him to sneak in and get through the door. "It's going to be close." Kairo thought to himself.

Slowly he started to crawl forward. As soon as he saw the third gaurd round the corner he sprinted for the door. As soon as he got to it he remembered that he didn't have a slicer. "Oh man. Now what." Looking around he saw an air vent above his head and to his right.

Sliding it open he crawled in and closed it. Just in time the next gaurd had just rounded the corner. "Stoopid Rebels." Kario laughed under his breath.

Pulling himself through the air ducks he decided totake a left. He lucked out found the control center. "Nice that this place isn't to big." Peering through the slits of the filter he decerned that there were only two gaurds. Thinking fast he pulled out the flash bomb and through it through the grating.

Flipping through he fired three swift shots. Two into the gaurds the other into the alarm system. Pulling his gun towards the chief tech he said, "Line up against the wall pronto."

They emediatly fallowed orders and he tied them up. Setting the explosives for 5 minutes. he pushed them through the dour. Fallowing his steps back out he hurried through the door. SLAM. Stars broke out he and fell into unconsciousness for the second time on this mission. The last thing he heard was a distant boom as the explosives reached zero and the place blew sky high.


(OOC Man that was long. Hope you read it all and it made sence. Kuorishi has a cell mate now. Maybe we can escape together. Just a thought. Hope you take up the offer. It might be nice to be on a dual mission for once. OOC)

Sometimes the cruelest methods were devised by the most sound-minded of people.  Fury was eating his first actual hot meal in days when Major Timms had come in to break his quiet reflection with chit-chat on the day's events. 

This was actually alright though as he was currently beating himself up for losing a trooper and having two severely wounded men on his conscience.  Three if you counted the pilot.  All in all, other than a couple of things that should have been done a lot better; not a truly crashing failure.

It was musing about all this with Timms that the idea had come up.  Basically they were discussing the whole new outlook of the Empire.

"I mean, seriously Timms.  Its not like we have some Dark Side Master lording over us controlling our thoughts and forcing us to eradicate species on a whim.  Palpatine's gone and most of those who served under him are either dead, implicated in some scandal, or retired.  All we are trying to do now is maintain some order.  Yeah, its only been a few years but its not like I've gone and shot up any  children since putting on this uniform.  So what's the big deal?"

Timms sighed. "You've got to remember this goes back lifetimes.  The Clone Wars were just nasty, especially further out from the Core.  Each side was just brutal to anything standing against them.  Its not just Palpatine and the Empire.  Its the white armor.  The Victors.  The Conquering Horde.  Even for unemotional clones, there were failures in discipline: rapes, genocide, looting, just random murder."

"I guess," Fury conceded.  "But siding with the Rebellion didn't put anyone on the side of the angels...not unless you were of non-human stock.  Then at least I would concede your point for lack of any better choices."

Timms nodded and was quiet for a moment.  "Maybe we can use this.  We've got islands full of refugees that, frankly, I don't really want to feed any more. I think we can use this to our advantage."

"Ah hell Timms, I'm not going to let you use the civilians for target practice no matter how bored you are."

"No sir.  That's not what I mean at all.  Let's see, how much territory have we cleared from the jamming?  Call it half the still-contested area.  You get your guys to concentrate on taking care of that.  I'll help you out any way I can.  Until that happens, you and I can take an airskimmer out to one of the islands and start on my plan."  After detailing it out and hashing over some of the minute points, each gave out some orders and then boarded a captured airspeeders accompanied by a couple squads of army troops and a communications team.

Timms had scheduled the landing to coincide with the daily food drop.  At least the locals would be more friendly-inclined than usual.  Once the two squads had formed a perimeter, the comm team set up shop.

Timms and a psyops geek from some Mid-Rim consortium world had passed Fury a script, which he severely shredded with the edit function on his datapad.  Eventually, they led him to a lit up area with a camera and a couple comm techs.

"Citizens of Fresia.  I am Lieutenant General Dar'Namell of the Stormtrooper Corps.  As you may have noticed, we have come to your planet to achieve some goals that would assist in keeping our territory secure.  We can debate the benefits and hazards of that all day and never get each side to agree.

"That is not why I am here.  I am here to try to bring an end to the conflict.  We have done our level best to keep you, the civilians, out of harm's way.  While I do not expect you to appreciate that or thank our forces for it: I do expect you to consider the alternative and realize the benefit of our pre-planning.  In return for this, I am going to turn this briefing over to Major Timms who will ask your assistance in helping us stop the conflict.  With our goals achieved, all we wish to do is establish a cease-fire and give this planet back to you."

Fury stepped back and let Timms take over.  Extra food and some extra supplies were offered for one small item.  A broadcast by the children asking their fathers to stop fighting and let them come home.  In return, the VE would ship a couple thousand prefabricated structures to the surface to assist in the rebuilding effort, as well as many municipal plumbing and wiring components. 

It would put a stop to the war, but seeing the first few children being led to the broadcast tent, and then the trickle lead to a steady line, made Fury wish he'd just shot a couple dozen random people instead.  This was pretty despicable in its own right.  But anything short of destroying the planet was worth getting his troops off this rock.

angel stood and watched for a few minutes as shuttles ferried grunts to the ground. he watched squads rush in to hold off the mechanized infantry still approaching the docking bay. It after these few minutes, when he tried to get going again and get back into action, that all his piled up injuries and bumps and bruises and falls and blaster burns and torn ligaments all decided to complain at once.

angel tried to take one step, but fatigue, pain, and just plain old sleep deprivation made him fall flat on his face. he lay there, not moving, as darkness closed in around him. the events of the fresia campaign whirled through his mind. all the explosions and rescues, sabotage, espionage, scouting, sneaking, sniping, exploding, racing, flying, falling, fighting, shooting, throwing, slicing, dicing, cutting, slashing, blood, guts, and killing all hit him like the right hook of a heavyweight. His eyes rolled bakc into his head, and as he lsot consciousness, he heard someone, somone familiar though he couldnt place the voice, shout,

"MEDIC, WE NEED A MEDIC OVER HERE..."
__________________________________________________________

"where am i" angel said. he got up and looked around him. he was back on coruscant. "How did i get here?"

"what the hell are you talking about, you live here" a familiar voice said. a voice that brought tears to his eyes.

"Jubei? but your..."Angel somehow manage to stammer.

"im what you little punk?' jubei teased, russling his kid brothers hair.

"dead"

"Do i look dead to you?" you;ve been watchin too many holovids lately, i should confiscate those before i leave for the academy.

Angel stared at him blankly. then turned away, facing straight into a mirror. he saw himself, only younger, 7 years younger. all of his scars were gone. a scruffy kid was all he saw staring back at him.

Suddenly it all made sense. "this is a dream" he said solemnly.

"yah shorty, i afraid it is." Jubei replied. "you have to wake up now, your jobs not done. weakling, i never would have passed out like that. all the death, pain, injuries, all of it, it just comes along with being a shocktrooper. Hell in raiders we see the most because were the infantry. you get used to it. its good that you are feeling some kind of emotion about the people you killed. Once you stop feeling, you stop thinking, and then all your good for is killing, and nothing else. now WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!"

Dead men dont dream... Angel thought to himself.  guess i must be alive, although i almost wish i werent

angel opened his eyes and found himself staring at 2 medtechs.

"welcome back Lance Corporal. you gave us quite a scare there." one said

"Yes, your heart actually stopped when you collapsed, we got to you just in time"

Angel thought back to his dream...maybe it wasnt a dream..maybe its like mom and dad always used to tell me, that when you die you go back to the happiest time in your life, andlive there forever. those last days before jubei left for the academy were the best days of his life.

the fact that he saw his brother, and was legally dead for the duration of his dream shook angel. he remembered his brothers words though...you get used to it...

ooc: the docking bay is in a city right?

Angel picked up his X-1 concussion rifle, and commandeered a regulars backpack. He threw in some rounds, shouldered the backpack, and made his way out of the docking bay. the docking bay was at the top of a small incline, and Angel could see the battles raging in the streets below.

jogging down the hill, he could see the lines of imperial regulars advancing. He ran up to PFC leading barking out orders to a sqaud of regs.

"Status report private." Angel demanded.

the tooper seemed shaken by angel's appearance. "All fronts are advacning, the mechanized infatnry is giving us a little trouble though." The private replied

"OK keep up the good work, I'll go help with the mechs."

"the majority of them are 4 blocks east and a little ahead of us. good luck sir" the private nodded, then got back to chewing out his obviously VERY green squad.

Angel jogged eastward at a relatively leisurely pace. We've got lots of regs down by know, no sense in rushing into an ambush or anything. he thought to himself,

when he arrived at the line, he saw imperial troops scattered around the street, taking cover behind dumpsters, opened doors, duarcrete walls, anything and everything that could protect them.

suddenly a call came over his comlink.  He saw most of the regulars that werent returning fire with the mech. infantry pull out their comlinks as well.

"All imperial troops, this is lieutenant General Fury, hold fire and take up defensive positions."

angel realized suddenly that the rebel troops had stopped firing.

"Turn all comlinks over to the following frequency and listen up. This battle is just about over. standard rules of engagement are now back in full effect. do NOT fire unless  fired upon. change frequecnies now.....Fury out"

Angel switched his comlink over to the new frequency.

"papa, this is benjamin, please daddy, stop fighting, come home."

angel shut off his comlink and understood what fury had been up to all this time. They hadn't had any contact with him until his last transmission since his dropship went down and they lost contact. Using the transmission as a distraction, angel crept up the street, getting closer to the rebel troops, manyof whom appeared shaken, because they were recieving the same transmission.

A few broke rank and fled the battle, in fact manny just laid down their weapons and left, angel swictched back to imperial frequencies.


"Rizz, this is angel, how goes the battle?"

"looks like Fury's doing a better job at his job, then we are at ours. He's not prefect for nothin." came the reply.

"Roger that, fighting has mostly ceased in the city by the docking bay, most of our regulars are down, but they may get a few turrets online soon. Wraiths, TJ, JR and i are holding down the fort"

"once this transmission ends, there may be seom PO'd rebels, so be ready for anything, and keep your bruised battered and broken behind in one piece."

"understood, angel out."

Angel ducked behind a large dumpeter and peered around the edge, some rebels still remained, mixed looks of horror, fear, anger and rage on their faces. Angel picked his first target with is X-1, then waited to see what happened next...

ooC: i can add a little angel twist to this plan /OOC:

Rizzits comlink beeped. "Rizzit, this is Fury, new plan. get what uniforms and rebel gear you can, then pile into your APC, and enter the enemy lines, they are using the same APC's as you are, so hopefully you will go unnoticed. take up a good strategic position for us, then if the battle resumes, open fire. this plan was kuroishis, so you owe him a bottle of whatever he wants back home. Fury out.'

'Ok raiders, its time to salvage what we can off these bodies, then get into the enemy lines. Lets end this damn thing."

Mara, Jyse, Jed, and Snipes all started stripping bodies and putting on uniforms. Just then rizzit's com beeped again.

"hey rizz, this is angel, i have a little twist to ur plan."

"you were listening angel? i thought you were in the city..."

"Ya well i just happened to be on Raider frequency. come pick me up 2 blocks east of the docking bay. go around and come from behind."

"i hope you have a good idea and this isnt a waste of time."

"sIr, i NEVER waste your time...well i could...but i left all my gungans at home. Meezah bee waitings fors uza outside of da city"

Angel cut the com at the end of his transmission. He could picture rizzits face, a mixture of shock, anger and rage. packing up his gear, angel crept back from the rebel lines, leaving a few well placed frag mines on the way.

once he was far enough away, he stripped a dead rebel and put on his uniform. Casual galnce would pass him off as a rebel , but any one concentrating would be suspiciouse because of the blaster hole in his back.

3 minutes later he met up with rizzit outside of the city.

"ok this plan requires a 2 parts magic, 1 part luck, and a whole bunch of timing. i say we turn this APC into a huge electromagnetic  bomb. There are enough sensors and electronic equipment in here,  and i have a a few ion grenades i picked up at the dokcing bay. We hot wire the systems to overload and create a electro magnetic field. The the ion grenades go off, and boom. Mechanized infantry down for the count."

Rizzits glare made angel take a step back. "Only you...would have the...the...guts, to make gungan noises around me...just you wait until we get back... but about your plan, lets do it. Jyse you and mara know the electronics better than use, set it up. I want to be moving within 5 mintues, fury's distraction is almost over."

"And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee, Power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command, we shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine patrie, et fili, et spiritu sancti."

They finished what they wher doing and began packing up back into the APC.

"Snipes! Thers blood on your sleeve, do something about it"Rizzit yelled

"Well i wasnt expecting to wher his clothes when i cut his throat!"Snipes retorted"Besides, Fallens has a Blaster hole in its back"

"Fallen, here, i brought an extra for you anyway"Rizit said tossing Fallen a Uniform"Now do something about that blood, i dont want questions"

"Thanx Rizzit"Fallen said

Snipes sighed and took out one of his knifes and cut himself threw the shirt wher the blood was. The resaon behind ther being no blood on the coller was simply that the guy had been whering a long vest buttoned up all the way and the blood had all gotten on that.

"Here"Mara said tossing Snipes a bandage and some duct tape.

Snipes smiled and bowed his head in thanks. It was a long standing joke that Mara could fix ANYTHING with duct tape, including Snipes who was rumored to be her favorite victum. Snipes cleaned his knife then his wound and bandaged it up with soem butterfly bandaids from one of his pouches and the bandage that mara gave him.

"Alright this is the plan of action, i hear we have some mighty pissed rebels who, although they havent restarted the artillery barrage, they most likely will again, then we move in with our big ion grenade that had better work"Rizzit glared at Fallen for a second then gave Snipes a quik one to, Snipes thought it was probly for his blood sollution; it didnt matter the glare didnt bother either soldier"then we detonate it, now if we're discovered before we can deploy then high tail it back to the rest of the army, if the vehicle is compromized then we split up into groups, group one consists of Fallen and Snipes; group 2 is Mara and jyse, me and jed. Fallen and Snipes, you two will play hide and seek with the enemys leading them away fromt he front lines, when you can sneak off and meet us here"He pointed to a area on a data pad in his hand and a dot apeared ther."me and jed will try to make it to the randevous point by sneaking threw them as one of them. Mara and jyse will try to go around the rebels and reach the randevous point. But then plans always seem to change in the feild."

I call Death to me and laugh in his face

[OOC:  I feel ashamed.  I should have thought of that and I used to call myself a Fallen Angel.  I guess it's time to go back to being a one man squad.  I'll have other members of Wraith pop up and doing thier thing once I see some signs of life from them.  Until then.  /OOC]

Kuroishi never liked working alone with no one to cover him but with the rest of Wraith as spread out as it was to even make this breakthrough possible he had little choice in the matter.

Kuroishi still heard the orders from his breifing run through his mind.

'Wraiths our job this fine day is to hold the marked corridor open once the cease fire is broken.  If Raiders are successfull the rebels will be short thier heavy artillary and thus suddenly be very vulnerable and angry.  It is possible the Raiders will be able to utilize thier stolen disquises to get all the way back to our position.  If not we are to make sure this corridor is open or there isn't going to be a Raiders squad to get back to our lines.  I've been promised by Rizzit that the rest of the platoon is in position to come to our aide.  Normally we would be the ones doing what Raiders are doing right now but they were lucky enough to already have an intact APC and in a very advantagous position to pull thier mission off.  The walkers and tanks of Wildcard platoon will move into position just at the edge of the city while we hold the urban corridor.  Needless to say we're all going to feel the rebels last ditch attempt to try and prevent thier utter annihilation.  Do not under-estimate the rebels.  If Raiders are successfull the rebels will definitly be weakened but still have sufficient ground forces to make us have one heck of a bad day if we get sloppy.  Once the Raiders are behind our position we will withdraw in a hammer anvil manuver.  If we can keep the mechanized infantry from breaking our lines in thier counter attack this conflict is over.'  Kuroishi's mind raced.

Kuroishi set his last command detonated pack of explosives then set up shop behind a pile of rubble.  He figured he could hold where he was for a few hours on his own as long as no one got close enough to throw a grenade in his face.

A single click over the Wraith frequency alerted the squad that the operation was about to begin.

Great Death Leader of the Fallen
The Chief Instigator of Pain and Terror
GN Daishi(2LT Kuroishi)
"Victory through terror, terror through infiltration. Redefining pain and suffering since 2000 and damn proud of it."  Fallen Angels motto.
"And the sound of many heads hitting many solid objects was heard throughout the land." me

angel began to get antsy. snipes was taking WAY too long to sort this out with the rebel leader.

"rizz, let me go out there," Angel said, "i know rebel policies well enough to get snipes out of this mess, plus the two of us have a better chance of escaping than one along, you never used to let Raiders go solo.'

"alright Angel, but you better not let us down." rizz replied.

Angel stepped out of the PFC, wearing a half smile and andjusting his uniform. He looked at snipes who threw him a questioning glance. angel winked in return. he stepped up next to snipes, bothmen looking down on SGT tancar.

"Sir, Sergeant Laveson reporting. As you well know, communications have been down because of the planetwide jamming. Due to this you were not alerted to our squads mobilization. We are the last special ops team remaining on the planet. we ran into imperial storm commandos on the way here. they knocked out our comunit, but we managed to kill most of them, and drove the rest off. I took this off one of the commandos.

Angel produced his uniform he shed when he donned the rebel garments. he threw them on the ground at Tancars feet.

"Very well, anyone good enough to take out those storm commandos needs to be at the heart of our counterstrike. those imperial dogs need to pay for that message from our children. what kind of animals would do such a thing?"

Angel could feel snipes tensing up, his muscles flexing and jaw grinding. he put his hand on snipes shoulder and laughed. "Yeah well, now we get to show that scum what the Republic is REALLY made of."

Angel threw tancar a salute, who promplty returned it, and angel guided snipes back to the APC. "We always work better in teams buddy, always teams, why do you think we have fire teams eh?"

"Yeah i guess your right angel, thanks for the save, that guy was a real headcase.'

They piled into the aPC, and guided it to its intended location.

Rizzits com light up. 'Rizzit this is Fury, we have confirmation that fighting has resumed, my plan worked partially, we estimate that rebels lost alomst 1/2 their forces. commence with your operation immediately"

Jed veered the APC directly for the mech infantry. Angel took out the ion grenade detonator. "detonation in 5...4...3...2...1..." the confused look of the rebels as one of their own APC barrelled through their ranks.

There was no sound but a muffled pop, as the grenades went off, then all that was heard was teh lone APC driving off, and the whine of mech infantry powering down, as their systems were fried...

  Snipes and Fallen sat in a catina waiting for the shuttle.  they had shed their Republic uniforms and wher now in standard VE uniforms of drab grey. Fallen slagged slightly agains the table with his head down. He wasnt drunk or even been drinking too much. he was just slightly depressed. He blamed himself for Jyses death, though Snipes wasnt sure how far it affected him.
 
"look man, it happens, as Rizzit said its just bad luck. Its the dice game we all play when we go into battle. He knew that."To prove his point Snipes removed a worn pair of dice from his pocket and rolled them on the table. they rolled 2 ones, a winning or osing hand depending on the game"look man rember our first mission together?"

  "ya, that was mimban"Fallen sadi lifting his head

  "I was the one that told Cos to stay ther, i gave him the command, albeit i regret it, but you cant lket it bother you man, my Da' used to say something like 'The soldiers life is dice with Death'."

  "I kno, i kno, ill get over it, just order me some more of that stuff" Fallen said gesturing vaguely at his glass.

  "dont waste the money"Snipes said taking a flask from his pocket"Drink this"

  "thanks"Fallen said taking a large gulp, from wich he immerged gasping"WHAT IS THIS STUFF!"

  Snipes let heimself Smile"Only the best Corrilian Whisky, from a freinds brewery next to my Da's vinyard"That caused uncomfortable thoughts and Snipes barely hid a grimace"Keep the flask"

  "Whats this?"Fallen asked pointing at the engraving of two dice rolling and a spear in the background

  "nothing important, just a reminder of luck"It was much more than that, but no need to tell more than he needed to about himself before he entered the VE.

  Fallen arched an eyebrow at him, but when he saw Snipes didnt feel like saying more he sat up straighter and took another swig.

  "Dont go too hard on that stuff, last time i got drunk rizzit made me run laps around the base, about sixty times"

  "well i guess ill have to go easy on it then"Fallen said Smiling and taking another swig.

  "GET YOUR WORTHLESS RABLE BEHINDS BACK IN THOSE CHAIRS AND BUY ME A DRINK!"A fimiliar voice yelled from the door, it was Rizzit, he looked grim, but was in an inexplicable good mood.

  Snipes and Fallen sat back down, they had figured it was time to go and they wher being called to the docking bay. Rizzit just saggerd, the swagger SLs get after awhile, and sat down with Snipes and Fallen.

  "Hows Jyse?" Snipes asked

  The SL scowled" They dont think hes going to make it, quit frankly ther is less than a one percent chance he'll make it. Fallen, it wasnt your fault, just bad luck."

  "I kno, i kno"Fallen said soberly. although he did take a generous swig from the flask.

  "well, what about a game a sabacc whil;e we wait?"Rizzit said

  "I'm willing to test my luck"Snipes said
 
  "have i got anything left to lose"Fallen said

  Rizzit smiled and pulled a deck from one of his pockets
