Jelly enjoyed Gio and Doc’s antics for a bit ,but quickly lost interest with his mind on other things. Some of the workers he noticed where trying to hurry with their jobs ,but where being extremely clumsy.  They scurried over the boats like ants on a carcass. He noticed that they had neglected a burnt out fuse on one of the boats so Jelly moved forward to inspect it.

It wasn’t a fuse that would prove fatal to the passengers of the boat though it still worried him. It ran to the motor regulating it’s speed which could cause it to slow down at any time. The problem with that is if they where attacked there was a probability that it could leave this boat an easy target. Jelly wanted to make sure none of the Platoon was in unnecessary danger during this mission so he began to patch up the system and replace the fuse.

The job was easy for him due to his time outside of VE he had to do a lot of patch repair on his old ship The StarBlade. The job was almost nostalgic for him as he remembered back to those days of cruising the galaxy fighting of pirates and aiding smugglers.  When the job was done he grimaced remembering how he had to Sell of the StarBlade for money to get inducted into the VE academy. He hated entry fees as the receptionist had told him.

The circuit fixed it began to hum to life with that satisfying sound to Jelly. His love for machines always allowed him to enjoy the sounds of a positively working vehicle or weapon. His Father taught him well to appreciate working equipment.

When he turned the Colonel had already asked for the end of Doc and Gio’s antics and that they please board the boats. Jelly proceed onto the middle boat followed by Saph and Wicket. The others boarded onto the other boats quickly as their engines hummed to life.

The boat lurched forward in a manner that caused Jelly to bump into Saph. She accidentally put her hand on his when she tried to gain support.  She quickly withdrew her hand when the violent motion was over.

“Sorry.” Jelly said apologetically smiling at her a bit then looking out towards where the boat was headed.

“It’s ok not your fault more like the lame pilot.” Saph said with a slight snicker.

Jelly smiled inwardly at her laugh even though it was a small one. He had never heard her laugh before which was pleasant for him. Though at the same time he wanted to laugh at her laugh as weird as it sounded, but Jelly managed to control himself.

He leaned on the railing of the ship, his index fingers clamped down on the brim of his helmet, His eyes running over each person whom divided onto the ship with him.  Lucky, finally, didn't end up on the same boat as him.  His left hand held the rail, as the boat pushed through the water, his eyes cast out over the ocean, and his face held a malicious grin cast towards their destination.  A short ride left, and they were going to be back in the fray, and he had been in his fair share of fire fights, regardless of what his co-troopers thought of him, and his color.  It was an advantage, really, because others would feel like they had to pick up his slack, but he'd be there to make sure there wasn't any.  Constantly checking that his weapons were in order, half out of habit and half out of anticipation.  He looked up glad he didn't see Lucky's eyes staring down at him. She had been 'looking out' for the he and Lunatick since they had started forth on this adventure, and it was, honestly, starting to get on his last nerve.  Squads were suppose to have faith in each other's ability to do as the situation dictated.  His tongue moved up to moisten in lips, as he let a large sigh roll into his lungs, and the blow out his pursed lips in a slight sigh. 

He thought about how little they thought he knew about anything in general, and his prideful nature made him hold them all in a small amount of contempt, just because he was a private didn't mean he was ignorant of anything.

"Yeah."  The annoyance in his voice was quite apparent, but now was not the time to deal with this issue, perhaps, once they were back to base. 

He stood up, walking across the deck of the ship to lean on the starboard side of the ship, oppisite where he had been, maybe to get away from his Assistant Squad Leader, whom was in the boat heading furthest away, or perhaps just to see if the ocean was a different blue on this side, at any rate, the ship was moving, and soon enough the Storm Platoon would be at their destination, and he would show his Squad just how green he wasn't.

The mission to secure silos and arrest Pitaf suited him just fine, he was capable, he knew it, now he just had to show everyone else how correct he was.

Normally Riq would be headed out of his office by this hour of the day, but his hours never truly ended, especially when he rose up the ranks closer and closer to a pure desk job.  Then, Riq sighed, I’d probably have real hours, but I’d lose my insanity twenty times faster...

Making sure his equipment wouldn’t fall off into the water first, Riq pulled himself into the boat via the webbing on the exterior sides and jumped down inside, feet colliding coldly with the metal and causing the craft to waiver a bit.  A few Jesters and a couple Paladins hopped in the left craft as well with their Platoon Commander, apparently not caring if he appeared insane in more ways than one.  “Hustle, let’s move!” came the Intelligence officer from outside before he surprised Riq by joining him in the boat.  Noticing the expression on the army grunt, Rupert shrugged, “I got the codes to stop the launch, I’m necessary to this operation.  Plus I am directing your tactics here.”

“Umm, what are our tactics?” Riqimo grasped for a handrail on the side of the boat as the LCVP started off towards the open waters to then veer north once it was free of the Sianat Bay.


“Each of these three ships will land at a different point of the island, Alpha at the southwest, Beta coming on at the east point, and Gamma, ourselves, from the north.  Each has a primary objective.  We will force ourselves deep into the facility to prevent a launch and take Ptaph Tigellinus prisioner.”

Standing on the side of the boat he had heard Rupert and Doc's conversation, this was his first meeting with all of the platoon whom shared this boat with him, and he didn't mind it at all, he didn't seem the personable type, especially, not after being looked down at all day.  He readied his E-11 /M and looked to the pair of men talking once more.

"Nothing more specific.  Two groups one for silo and one for the arrest, or are we going to eliminate all the men in the silo and move further for the next objective?  I'm sorry, for butting in, just wanting to get the game plan before I start thinking in vein."

His dark eyes landed on Rupert and Doc, either, was much higher in the food chain than he, but he didn't think either of them 'better' than he, perhaps just more time served.  His conceit canceled out the shy newbie syndrome, quite efficiently. 

He had been supplied with an E-11 /M, so he figured setting up outside the silo at a medium range he could effectively pin down, if not kill several targets without anyone being the wiser, but he also didn't know how much time they had to do their job, so everything was at a toss up, hence his wondering for clearer battle tactics.

The troopers started to make their ways to the boats. Riqimo gathered the group up one last time. He needed to split them into groups so they could start on the mission when off the boats. Wicket was in a group with Gio, who he had seen was starting to get annoyed with Wicket's constant conversation on the shuttle. Durandal, Wicket's good friend from Jester, and Alater the only other one from Eclipse.

Wicket went over to Durandal and started up a conversation. Wicket was talking nonstop on the walk over to the boat. Even on the boat the conversation continued. A few of the other troopers sighed and shook their head. This was going to be a long mission if the didn't get used to Wicket. Alater wasn't phased, as he was used to it. In fact all of Eclipse was used to Wicket's antics.

Gio got on the boa first and found a seat. The others continued to pile on. Wicket and Durandal wanted a good seat so the pushed their way in front of the others. Some of them grunted. "Hey watch out!" Some one shouted. One person almost fell in the water. Wicket took a seat looked down at the water. Wicket loved the water. He leaned over the rail and started splashing his hands in the water. Gio thought it funny to flip him over the rail into it. Wicket fell in with a splash. The boats burst out laughing. Wicket reached up and grabbed Durandal's out reached hand, and was pulled up back onto the boat.

"So can I get one of those special Paladin towels?" Wicket asked. He couldn't splash the water off of him, seeing as he had no hair. "Actually I have one." He grabbed in his bag and took out a towel, proceeding to dry himself off. He went back to his seat and saw Durandal smoking. Wicket sighed as the boat took off.

Lucky watched from her seat as Wicket , who had entered the boat after her, leaned out to touch the water and fell in. She laughed good-heartedly , as did everyone else. When Durandal reached down to give him a hand , she wondered if Wicket was going to pull him in. But he didn't , which was good. They didn't need anyone becoming ill when they technically haven't started the mission yet.

When Wicket asked for a towel , a PALADIN towel , she refused to give him hers. If she needed it, she didn't want it being wet already.

Once everyone was in and seated, one of the Colonel's men pushed the boat out into the water then jumped in. The boat lurched forwards, then swayed from side to side a bit as the weight that had been all at the back was released and equalized on the boat.

She looked over at Aravan and Finch , both were silent. To lighten the mood a bit, she told a few jokes, some of which made everyone laugh until their sides hurt.

When she had run out of jokes, the boat fell into an awkward silence. she looked over the edge of the boat at the bluish waters. It looked too much of a clear blue to be real , she leaned over a bit to let her fingertips graze the water. It was refreshingly cool. She wondered if they could take a swim after the mission.

Damn awkward silences... Durandal had taken a nap and the others were too serious to talk to. Talking was Wicket's way of taking his mind off of things that could be dangerous. After his mother killed his father, he didn't want to go through that pain again, so conversation was his scapegoat.

Wicket was getting fidgety. Control yourself Wicket. It will be fine. he thought to himself as he began to whisper quietly to himself.

The whispering went on for a while until Aravan had enough. "Will you shut up! You have done nothing but chatter the entire time! take a chill or something!" Aravan shouted rolling his widened eyes afterwards.

Wicket stopped immediately. Aravan hadn't got to know Wicket as much, seeing as he was new. The outburst left Wicket feeling alone at the moment. How dare he. He doesn't even know me. Why did he yell anyway? He could have said it nicer. Wicket thought to himself as he turned around to face the water. The reflection of Wicket rippled with the waves. It looked like his father in some ways. "Father?" Wicket whispered to himself. Wicket reached down to touch the reflection. Suddenly clouds came over the sky and the reflection disappeared right before he could touch it. A tear came into Wicket's eye.

The boat was still quiet. Everyone was focused on the mission. They never know if it could be the last. The person who was driving the boat broke the silence. "Looks like we could have a storm. This overcast came out of nowhere. Weird." He went back to commandeering the boat, as it began to lightly rain.

They continued on to the landing point for a while. Soon they could see the shore. Everyone started to gather up their belongings and get ready. "I guess this is it." Gio said. Wicket looked over to Durandal who was sleeping. A cigarette was hanging out of the side of his mouth. He took it out and threw it to the ground. "Wake up, Duran." Durandal jolted awake, and gathered his items. The group was all set. Now all they had to do was wait a few more minutes.

The ride was mostly reflecting silence, with Wicket’s chatter flowing from his boat and over the waves to their craft, at least until the ships parted ways, leaving one ship to the torture of the Sullustan’s constantly moving mouth.

“Is that one always like that?” Rupert rubbed his neck a bit, nodding towards the other boat, now just over the horizon.

Riq nodded, “Non-stop.”

“You get used to it,” Blackout chipped in.

“Ah...” Rupert nodded in a pretense understanding.

Then Baretz, one of the new troopers that managed a quick promotion to Lance Corporal asked Riq and Rupert a question regarding the mission objectives, and force necessary for it.

“Well...” the intelligence officer rolled his neck a little, “We get on the beach and head immediately over a wall of about twenty feet of height.  The necessary equipment for that is on our boats.  Once in, we force our way into the bunker facility.  Hopefully the beta group can manage enough of a bang to get most of the attention away from where we will be running through the bunker.

“If we come across and hostiles, we have full authority to use deadly force; and it is most likely that we will, seeing as there are numerous checkpoint gates inside.”

Riq raised an eyebrow, “So... how many checkpoints are there to the command room of the facility?”

“Six, but most likely the inner ones will be lighter staffed, so we should be fine.  The combination of a couple bangs will pull some off the outers.  Your job is merely to escort me to the consoles so I can shut this down and we can arrest Tigellinus.”

Lucky was quietly sitting in a corner of the craft , when Aravan suddenly started shouting at Wicket. It was probably just nerves. She looked at them both a few seconds longer before staring blankly in front of her, lost in her thoughts. When the Skipper mentioned something about it being overcats and a storm coming, she looked up at the cottony grey clouds as it started to rain.

She looked once again at finch , who was looking out at the horizon in front of them. She slowly got up and went to st beside her."Nasty weather, eh?"  Finch just nodded, not looking at Lucky. This mission unnerved them all.

The drizzle speeded dup a notch , now she felt as though she was in a shower. When each raindrop hit the water , it made a  different sound tahn on the ground , so it really did sound as though a shower was running.

A while later , they reached the island. Everyone filed out of the boat in silence . When Lucky got out, she joined Gio , Finch and Aravan. The small group had their stuff together, and they were all waiting for orders .

When everyone was out , she looked around her and saw taht they were all milling around in small groups.  She saw members of eclipse talking amongst themselves a few steps away from her group. she wondered if it would be like this the whole entire mission.

Everyone filed off the boat and gathered around Giovanni to await orders. Gio took a head count and nodded. "Alright. So, what we are supposed to do is, create a distraction so that the other teams are able to complete their tasks. Any ideas of how we can do this?"

The group thought for a few seconds. Suddenly, Wicket shot his hand in the air and started to wave it around. "Oh me! I have an idea!" He continued to wave his hand.

"Yes...Wicket?" Gio asked. I think that's his name.

"Well. I figured we could like all sneak up to the base and then set a few mines or explosives or something. But obviously nothing to strong to explode the base." Wicket chuckled a little. A few people gave Wicket a confused look. "Then we could maybe snipe a few guards. Once we are done with that, we could go in and maybe start a ruckus." He finished explaining, trying to catch a breath. Wicket talked rather rapidly when he knew that he had a good answer.

"Uhh I didn't catch most of that but I think I have an idea of what you explained." Giovanni said.

"Oh I said that-" Wicket started to repeat what he said earlier but was cut off.

"No. You don't need to repeat. I know what you want to do. So I figure we could leave a few people back by the base to look for guards to snipe. And a few other people could go lay some explosives. Then later we could all go in and shoot up the place?" Gio said.

The troopers nodded. "Or we can stay together. Your choice. At any rate, let's not waste any time." Gio led the group to the facility, looking down at his datapad frequently to look for directions. He led them in and out through the trees, trying to avoid any possible of detection. A few moments later, the group arrived withing about fifty feet of the base.

"So who wants to go lay mines and who wants to stay and snipe?" Gio asked.

"I'll go place some stuff." Wicket said. "I'm pretty good at that."

"You sure you won't blow anything up?" Gio snickered. "Ok well who else will place some mines?" A few other troopers raised their hand reluctantly after Wicket had volunteered. "Alright. I'll stay here and snipe with the others. You guys go out, place a few, try not to be seen. If you are, take care of the people. When you are done, get back here and tell me." Wicket, having his cheerful attitude back, started to lead the group up to the base.

"So, how's this going to work?" Alater turned his head as heard the voice and looked to see Paladin's Death Leader staring right at him. Alater was a little confused.

"What do you meen Death Leader?" Alater asked as he lifted his weapons a little to roll a shoulder around. He was carying all this for a reason, but that didn't make them any lighter. Giovanni was obviously confused by the term for a few moments as he rolled it over in his mind.

"Ah, well you guys, Eclipse that is, are supposed to be getting us in there, and you're obviously the best suited for that Corporal, so what is the game plan." Giovanni said, impatience rising a little in his voice.

Alater nodded as he reached around his back and grabbed his DC-17M, and in a heart-beat had it converted to its sniper mode.

"You know how to use one of these I presume?" Alater asked, handing the weapon to Gio.

"Yea, yea I think I remember how to do a little sniping." Giovanni said, adjusting the stock to fit his height.

"Very well. I've already spotted the entrance before when I did a little recon. The guard count is small, but they could be a problem for some of the greener members and those not prepared. As is I think our best bet is to take up positions with crossing fire arcs and pick off a guard or two. While you're keeping them distracted, I'll come around their flank and let loose a little hell. That way we can get them in there quick and quiet like. They'll never know we're coming." Alater said, a wicked smile spreading across his leathery face.

The ramp of the boat dropped and with a bid of good luck from the driver craft the Gamma group disembarked onto a rocky shore.  “That’s... one big wall...” Blackout blinked.  Riq stood a moment on the ramp, and nodded.  The duracrete obstacle may have only been twenty feet high, but someone forgot to mention that the wall started about 10 feet above their current position, laying on a sold, raise bedrock foundation.

Aiming his grapple gun Riqimo shrugged and fired it just over the edge, and reeled the line back in until he was able to tug rather firmly on the wire, “Big or not, we’re scaling it, I’m not standing out here in the rain waiting for the water to make the wall erode away.”

The rain was more than just unpleasant to the troops, it also made climbing up the wall rather difficult, several times Riq’s climbing boots slipped, regardless of the small metal spikes being forced against the duracrete.  The only benefit that Riq could see was the rain kept any patrols off the wall, although he wasn’t quite certain if the pro outweighed the cons, especially when both feet slipped and he was about two thirds of the way to the top.  With a grunt, Riq regained his climbing composure and soon after heaved himself over the edge, unshouldering his rifle in case any hostiles were around.

“Everyone up?” Rupert asked as he shook his head enough to send some water spraying off.

“Looks like it, didn’t hear any screaming or thuds,” Riqimo remarked half-sarcastically, a sign of some frustration building up.”

“Alright, let’s down from this wall and get in the main bunker...”

Wicket led the group towards the base. No one else seemed up to the task except him. He began to think how he could do this effectively. Something that Wicket rarely does. How can I do this without blowing the whole place up? He thought for a moment. I spose I could use demo charges around the base to distract them. Wonder if i brought any. Wicket began to look through his bag trying to find any demo charges.

Someone from Jester noticed Wicket. "What are you looking for?"

"I'm just trying to find some demo charges to place around the building. I don't want to use mines or anything too close to the building, as it will explode. So I figured I'd just use those. Am I crazy?"

"Well yes you are kinda crazy but not for that reason." the trooper replied. "But I have some demo charges."

"Oh good. You keep half and I'll take the other half. So just go look around and find some good places to place them. You know how to do it right?" Wicket asked.

"Yeah kinda." he replied.

Wicket explained to the trooper from Jester a more effective way of placing a demo charge. After that, they broke into two groups and headed to opposite sides of the base. Wicket went to the right while the others went left.

The base was surrounded by a few trees and there were many bushes. Wicket looked around for any suitable place to put a charge. A few yards ahead he noticed a boulder laying on the ground. "Perfect!" Wicket said as he rushed over. He looked around, making sure there was no one around that would notice him. A few moments later, the charge was set. I can place one more.

Wicket headed over to one of the trees nearby. It wasn't a very tall tree. It was small enough that Wicket could climb up into it. He put his foot on a limb and grabbed onto a branch and pulled himself up a few feet. Wicket found a nice solid branch to lay the charge. Once he placed it, he lost his balance and fell of the tree. "Dammit!" He landed on the ground. He wasn't that high off the ground. Wicket got up and wiped off the dirt and headed back to meet up with the others.

The other group was coming back the same time Wicket was. "Did you place them?" Wicket asked. The trooper nodded. "Alright good. Let's head back to Gio and Alater. The group left towards where the snipers were.

Blackout blinked a couple of times. A ringing was continuing in his pocket, but he ignored it. The wall in front of hims was larger than he had expected. And honestly, he loved to climb, but still that was high even for his liking.

He fired his grappling gun in suit with Doc who was scaling already up the side. Dax decided he would be smart and try to be funny at the same time.

As he felt the hook of the grappling gun tighten his his grip he swung forward and started scaling. He got halfway from the line and let out a big push and swung with his hands above his head and his feet in a flying kick, almost like he was sitting on a seat and swinging. He swung around past doc, then swung back. He did again and let go with one hand and swung back around running up the wall witht eh moment and did a back flip grabbing his grappling hook with his hand as he fell.

Doc looked at him and shook his head. Dax just grinned and began to continue his scale of the wall. As they did Dax felt his grappling loosening. Realizing he was going to be in trouble if he didn't quicken his pace. not to self quit theatrics. he thought, trying to shift his weight so the hook wouldn't let go.

As Wicket and his group returned Gio had just finished setting up in his position. Between them they could see three roaming guards and four more stationed at the side entrance they were attempting to enter.

"Hey, Alater! We've got the charges planted!" Wicket called out over the Comm as he ran up towards Alater, his group in tow. Alater nodded and turned back to his scope to make sure nobody had moved. When he confirmed with Gio he turned his Comm to the group channel.

"This is an all warning. We're about to set off some demo charges and make a little noise. This should pull the guards away from the other areas." Alater warned, and then turned to Wicket.

"Oh, right, the detonator. I've got it around here somewhere..." Wicket mumbled as he seached about his person for the little detonator. Another trooper, one from Jester, handed him the detonator with a sigh and a rolling of the eyes.

"Oh right, here it is." Wicket said, priming the charges. Alater sighed and turned back to his Comm.

"Fire in the hole!" He barked out as Wicket depressed the button and the whole world seemed to shake a bit. The reactions of the guards through his scope were rather interesting, but that didn't last long. Two bolts ripped through the air from Gio's position as he dropped two of the guards on patrol.

Alater left his post and bolted towards the door, pistols in hand. As he exploded from the tree line, Gio began really unleashing hell with the DC-17M. The heavy slug throwers produced wonderfull results as the insurgant troops tried to reach for their weapons. Their armor, made to deflect blasters not bullets seemed to implode as Alater tore through the four standing around. As more began to rush forward Alater called for the others to provide a little cover fire as he reached for his Heavy Republic Flame Carbine.

The boat slowed as it made it’s approach to the shore sliding up on the sand. The group hopped  over the side rail and formed up within the tree line.

“Ok We have to take out the Anti Aircraft System to ensure any air support we need can get through .” Kami said beginning to outline her plan on a small data pad.

“We will move through the forest towards the bunker at it’s perimeter we will split into two groups one group being a two man squad which will cover the entrance while the rest of the group will move into the bunker.” Kami toke a breath before continuing

“Once inside we will split into two more groups to set the charges which are set on a five minute timer then we Get the Hell out of there.” She Finished dropping the data pad in the middle of the group.

“Any questions?” She asked looking around.

“The Two man group covering us on the outside will be Saph and Jelly Bean since yall have some sniper equipment.” She said gesturing at the two.

“Move out!” Kami ordered as she sited her weapon and sprinted into the trees.

The journey to the bunker wasn’t that difficult. Things seemed to get a lot harder after Jelly and Saph had taken up their positions in a tree each wielding a Sniper Rifle. When the rest of the group had passed the threshold of the bunker doors the forest came alive with assortment of guards and other personnel.

Gun reports sounded as Saph and Jelly began to systematically  kill each and every moving thing below them. Though the enemy finally figured out Jelly’s position and began to fire at him. One got so luck as to hit the branch he was supported on and cause it to fall out from under his feet. Jelly fell and landed hard on his leg dislocating it.

“Damn.” He swore as he pulled out his BlackJack rifle and shot controlled burst at each of the Soldiers that came into his sight.

A grenade landed close to Jelly and began to beep with the it increasing to a drone. Jelly flung himself backwards grabbing up the grenade and tossing it at a soldier who exploded in a mist of dust and guts. Jelly allowed himself a smile before putting a couple rounds into another victim.

He always turned the enemy into his victims when he fought it showed how untrained they where. Jelly laughed a little showing how much he was enjoying this. One Soldier popped  up over his cover and fired a wild shot at Jelly which hit him in the left shoulder. Jelly gasped and brought his rifle up shooting the soldier in the chest then launching a grenade making him bits and pieces.

“Damnit.” Jelly cursed again.

“Jelly you ok?” Saph yelled over the com.

“Well you tell me my leg is dislocated and I’m shot in the shoulder I think I’m just peachy.” Jelly yelled reloading his rifle quickly.

“I’ll be there in a minute got what looks like two more guys in the brush.” She said as gun reports echoed over the comm link.

“Will do but please hurry.” Jelly said moving his leg trying to put it back in the socket.

The gunfire ceased after a minute which caused Jelly to worry. He heard a rustling in the grass and brought up his rifle just as Saph popped her head up over the fallen branch.

“Hey need some help?” she asked as she hoped over with grace and landed next to Jelly taking hold of his leg.

She quickly popped it back into place as Jelly grimaced. He stood testing it with a little more swearing. The pain dulled out as the muscles moved.

“Well that’s good thank for the help.” He said patting her on the shoulder.

“Get back to your position we have more to do.” He continued as he wrapped the wound quickly.

Saph nodded and headed back over to where she had been taking one look back at him.

"Yea, yea I think I remember how to do a little sniping." Giovanni said, adjusting the stock to fit his height.

He knew it was a hell of an understatement, but it wasn’t his style to brag. Not unless he was inebriated at least. Little did Alater know, Giovanni had been putting his time in down at the vast empire shooting range. Sniper rifles were only one of the many different types of weapons he had tried to improve his use with.

The DC-17, however, was unfamiliar to him. It had a little less kick than the Slugthrower Sniper Rifle he had used for practice, but the premise was still the same.

Adjust for altitude, adjust for windage, aim for the chest, squeeze the trigger.

It was this routine that was quickly getting him through the group of guards near the entrance of the base. It was always easier to pick them off if they were alarmed, and Alater’s detonator set up the perfect window of opportunity.

The first few to die probably never knew what hit them.

The rest were also relatively easy to dispel. They were either shook up from the concussive force of the explosives, scrambling for their weapons, or busy defecating in their pants.

It really made no difference to Giovanni. He never enjoyed killing, but being up against people whose jobs were to end his own life, killing merely became a natural response. It was as easy as breathing.

Alater was now close enough to unleash hell on the guards coming out of from the sides. Giovanni slackened his pace a bit to let the Corporal get a few kills. He didn’t want to be stingy.

Alater's form shifted amongst the guards that he dispatched as if a ghost of death. His heavy slughthrowers ran quickly out of ammunition and he simply dropped them on the ground, he would not slow.

By now the enemy had renforcements moving in from other areas of the base; that was just perfect. Wicket's little fire works display had worked exactly as they had all planned and hopefully this mission would be over soon, but not too soon.

As more enemies headed towards the little opening, Alater drew Long Fang in a sweeping arc that decapitated a young trooper as the curved, blood stained, spiked blade let the man give one last dying scream. Blood, gore, and the screams of the dying followed Alater as he began to tear through enemies, leaving few behind for the others.

His eyes had turned, the power of the Krsst overcoming him and fueling his body with its awsome power. He could feel the power, the control, the anger, the lust. All of it called to him, pulled him towards the enemy in a manner that could be called barbaric, but that wasn't true. Alater's form had never been more flawless, his blade never truer. This was not the rage he had showed on Tormar, this was the power he had been born with; the absolute control of his own blood.

When Alater stopped Wicket and his group were following behind, blasting away the few that dared to move and resemble being alive. Alater breathed a little heavier, huge shoulders rising with each breath as he gained control of himself again and the blood red eyes returned to their natural ocean blue.

Now that more of the guards from inside had made their way out, it was time for the group to push forward. Alater and Gio did a good job getting rid of a few of the guards on the outside. The others were getting close to the base as well.

Wicket was not one to fight if others were around. He would let other people do the dirty work. So Wicket just stayed to the back of the group. "Whoa. Looks like you guys have this!" Wicket shouted while pretending to be knocked out of the way by the other groups members.

They continued towards the base shooting guards that appeared out of nowhere. Alater was killing most of them seeing as he was the most experience with heavy weapons.

The guards decreased in number for a while making it a bit easier for the group to make their way into the facility. Once making it to the door of the base, Gio tried to open the door. "It's locked. Anyone know how to fix this?"

"I do!" Wicket shouted as he rushed up to the door. Wicket wasn't much of a fighter but he did like to do electrical tasks. He opened up his pack and grabbed a few materials. A few moments later the door slid open. Hmm, I think I may have done that in record time. Wicket grinned as he let the others go in before him.

The facility had boxes all over the place. The lobby didn't have very many guards as expected. "They must all be deeper in the building." Gio said. "Let's go. Now remember, just distract the guards and kill them."

The group continued through the halls, killing all the guards they came across. Suddenly there was a huge crash from the door that was at the end of the hall.

Jogging down stairs on the interior of the wall, Riq kept his rifle and head swiveling to spot any hostiles that may be out on a smoke break or whatever excuse they would have to be outside in the rain.  Waving his hand in an ‘all clear’ manner, Riqimo progressed farther along the stairs, ignoring the rain cascading off the armor plates on his chest and arms.  There was the sound of an explosion to the southeast and Riq chuckled, “That’s bound to wake ‘em up... let’s move it people,” he broke into a steady jog, dropping to a kneeling position once a door slid open up ahead of him.  Riq held his hand up for the group to ceasefire and wait for when the majority of the hostiles had exited the building, so that they could rush from behinds and slip inside for a defensive position.

twenty-three... twenty-four... screw it, charge Riqimo lowered his hand to steady his rifle as he fired and started into a sprint, the rest of the folks behinds him supporting fire.  Half the forces ran off, and the others were surprised by the attack enough to take several seconds to realize what was happening.  By that time however, Riq and his gang were inside with a jammed door locking the tangos out in the rain.  A long corridor with a few consoles and doors scattered along the way...  and a closing blast door.

“Dammit! Run!” Riqimo dashed forward, “We gotta get in the facility before that door closes, don’t think we can force it open.”

The comm began to crackle soon after Saph and Jelly had finished a second group that had come.

“Ok team lets split up Yall take North Server and We’ll take South.” Came Kami’s command over the com

“Well their splitting up.” Jelly said yawning slightly now that the killing had taken a pause.

“Yeah I heard.” Came back Saph’s sarcastic tone.

Jelly decided to not talk if she was gonna be like that. The time passed slowly with no com chatter from the group inside the base. The wind began to slowly blow through Jelly’s hair.

It would be such a nice day if we weren’t having to kill anybody Jelly thought shrugging as he loaded a new clip and grenade into his rifle.

Suddenly a blaster bolt whizzed past Jelly’s head.

Damn not again He thought as he brought his rifle to bare on the new threat which was a ten man team of heavily armored troopers. These guys unlike the last group wore a red and black armor and carried modified Carbines. They saw Jelly’s movement and instantly began firing at him.

Jelly dived forward under the fallen branch and returned fire barely managing to take one of them down. Saph began to fire at them in the hopes to divide their attention thought it didn’t work so well when they all focused one her. Saph dived out of her tree thudding to the ground and rolling. Even in a dire situation she managed to be graceful. Flipping over into cover she fired a well placed shot hitting one of the troopers in the head.


Their fire became wild as a white flash burst through the black troopers. The figure fired two wild shots which managed to kill two more of the armored troops. The new trooper jumped over a branch and landed next to Jelly.

“Hey Jelly it’s Squall figured you could use some help.” The man chuckled.

“How did you know?” Jelly asked astonished.

“Well when you leave your comm on it’s easy to hear the overwhelming gun shots.” Squall replied popping up and firing a shot into the group of soldiers.

“Well thanks for the backup.” Jelly said grunting as he lifted the rifle up over the log and fired off a grenade in the enemies general direction. The grenade exploded close to the troopers ,but not close enough.

Suddenly a grunt came over the come sounding like it came from Saph.

“Damnit Saph are you ok?” Jelly called popping up and firing a single shot which knocked over one of the troopers.

“No I’m hit.” She growled back angrily.

“Squall Cover me.” Jelly said jumping over the log without warning.

He sprinted across the small distance towards Saph. He jumped and dived over the log she was using for cover. Saph was there holding her side which was still bleeding despite her efforts. Jelly fired a couple shots off followed by a grenade before he went to work on Saph with what little combat medic training he had from the academy.

Jelly toke her hand and inspected the round which had been caused by a piece of shrapnel. Jelly pulled on a glove and wiped a way some of the blood before reaching into her wound feeling for the shrapnel. He found it easily and carefully pulled it out. He then cleaned the wound and injected her with a pain reliever. Pulling out some bandages he carefully wrapped the wound being as careful as he could when she shuddered from the pain.

Dispensing of the gloves Jelly looked at the Twi Lek figuring their eyes meet through their helmets. Jelly shifted uncomfortably before he brought the gun up and fired a quick burst at the troopers. He had the urge to say something to her ,but couldn’t bring himself

Alater stepped over another guard's body as the group proceeded through the halls. Alarms were ringing, guards running all about, and the body count was rising. In a sort of jest Alater and Gio had started to keep a count of their kills.

"25!" Alater called out as he downed another guard with a well placed burst from his rifle. The body clumped with his buddy who had fallen in a similar manner only moments before.

"27!" Gio called out as a small explosion in another room echoed itself with the screams of the dying and a single man ran out, entire body engulfed in flames. As the man ran into a wall and collapsed on the floor the sort of sweep up crew that the rest of them had been doing a good job of killing what was left. One of the men stepped on the body and placed a blaster bolt through his back and watched as it twiched: once.

"Cheater." Alater muttered as Gio walked towards him, dusting off his hands.

"Yea well, you would have," Was all Gio got out before the door down the hall exploded.

"COVER!" Alater screamed as he and Gio dived in opposite directions. The rest of the troopers swung to different sides of the the hall and took some form of shelter eithe in rooms or around corners. As the smoke settled an aura of confusion fell over the men at what lay before them.

Two humanoid looking females stood, large breasts and long blonde hair. They were very convincing replicas, were it not for the fact that they were a little too rigid and their heat signatures pointed right at them being biomechanical. Alater leveled his flamer at them as the two robots began to strut down the hall, hips swinging.

"Damn, fine looking." One trooper muttered, much to the embaresment of a few of his squad mates.

The two stopped, seeming to survey the men and a small clicking sound started. Suddenly, the bodice's of the fembots opened up to reveal blasters. They turned to open fire on the men and were met with a full cone of flame from Alater's Flame Carbine. There were a few gasps in the back of the hall from those that didn't have a great view but all in all it formed a rather large joke as word spread through the men.

"You won't believe what we just saw..." Came Gio's voice over the general Comm channel.

Alater and Gio continued to kill all the guards. The others were killing one or two here and there, but not nearly enough as Giovanni and Alater. Wicket was just relaxing on the wall, watching for any enemy personnel that may have shown up. Eh Wicket looked back at Alater and Gio. I think they should be fine. He grabbed Durandal by the arm and headed down the hallway.

"Where are we going?" Durandal asked, confused. He looked back at the group and then at Wicket. "What are we doing?"

"Don't worry about it. They'll be fine." Wicket continued down the hall.

Doors lined each side of the hall. Wicket knew which door he had to enter. He remembered seeing it on the way earlier. Third one on the left. he thought to himself as he counted the doors. Durandal just went along with the ride. He didn't feel like doing anything either.

Once at the door, Wicket opened it. There was a man standing in front of the computer, fiddling around with some buttons. "Get him!" Wicket yelled. Durandal took out his blaster and shot at the man. He missed the first and second time. "Oh for crying out loud!" Wicket took out his blaster as well and started shooting, missing as well. The man started to run towards the escape but suddenly fell to the floor. "Finally." Wicket said.

"So what are we doing in here?" Durandal asked.

"Well, I figured that Alater and Gio were doing a good job fending off the enemies, that I could do something else. I didn't want to go alone so I took you." Wicket explained. "So I came in here. While I was just leaning against the wall, I was trying to figure out a way to distract more. I thought I would just turn the power on and off. Good, right?" Wicket chuckled.

"Sounds good to me!" Durandal replied.

"Alrighty!" Wicket shouted, going over to the computer. "Soo, how do I work this thing?" He started to press buttons. The screen flashed for a minute and then came to life. "Aha! Here we go!" The screen showed options to go to the schematics of the building, hours of operations, and schedule of workers.

"Why don't we just use the power box over there?" Durandal asked, pointing to the front of the room.

"Ah good idea." Wicket replied. They both walked over to the box and opened it. There were many levers to choose from. "Which one?"

"I guess we can do whatever one we want." Durandal said, shrugging. "Let's do this one." Durandal reached for the lever and pulled down.

Riqimo muttered curses to himself as his shorter legs let him down, running behind everyone now despite having the head start.  The blastdoor gave him only about 2 feet or room now, and all he could see was the boots of the folks on the other side.  Riq couldn’t recognize the voice of someone poking a sarcastic comment towards him, but he ignored it and slid right under the door, colliding with Decembrist, who stumbled a bit, but kept his feet.  Riq chuckled nervously at the Jester and mumbled an apology at the seemingly expressionless face.

“We’re in,” Riq helped himself up since no one bothered to offer a hand.  Glancing back at the door, “And looks like we can only go forward now.”

“v’Ondervul” came the sarcastic and ‘eavily accented voice of Xenos, ne’vest mem’ver to Eclipse.

“Indeed it is, they make our choices easier,” Riqimo cheerily exclaimed as he looked at the six doors in the corridor they had to choose from, “The four doors on the other side are not what we are looking for, so six to go...”

Sighing Riqimo punched a pad, “Let’s see what’s behind door number five.”  Shining the flashlight attached to his E-11 into the darkened room Riqi shrugged, “No prize, let’s try Four.”

“It’s v’ocked,” came Xenos, explaining why the door didn’t open.

“Dax, think you can see about slicing that one open while I try number Six here?”

“Sure thing Doc,” the comm tech and general electrician of the squad replied and pulled out a small tool kit while Riq headed for a door at the far left of the corridor.

Kreic Went north with a few others, he didn't know their names, and the fact they were all wearing armor didn't help matters, If he knew them better it might help.

The corridor was silent except for the sound of boots hitting the floor, at a junction Kreic signaled the groups to stop, he had taken point earlier our of boredom, he heard gunfire on the comms that were left open,  he wanted his share.

The tallest member of the group checked his structural map of the bunker "Take a right, and keep going till we see another junction."

Before they could make their way down the corridor, Kreic heard footfalls, they wern't coming form behind them.

Damnit, we have to go through them.. He had hoped to avoid wasting ammo until they had to head to waypoint gamma.

Kreic fired his E-11/M at the approaching troops, one fell, and two shots went wide. They returned fire, instinctively, Kreic ducked behind a support beam, as the rest of his group opened a base of fire and removed the rest of the patrol.

There were now three less people alive in the world, it was said, they had to be stupid enough to piss off the Empire.

Kreic checked the bodies for spare ammo and grenades, it never hurt to be prepared. He then caught up with the rest of his group and took the position at the rear, guarding against a flanking maneuver, which is a real threat in a place such as this.

"No, I'm hit." Followed by the growling anger of Saph's voice. Alater had been switching through Comm channels to check in on everybody when he heard the fire coming through the channel. He took one look around at the bodies and blast marks on the wall.

"I'm going to go help out some of the others. You guys need to spread out and cause as much damage as possible without damaging the actual facility. May the Hunt be honorable." Alater said as he bolted down the hall, heading towards the last reported position of Jelly and Saph.

As he ran, pistols in his hands, he couldn't think of much else other than another Death Mate dying. He remembered Rike, bleeding and moaning as he lay on the cusp of death in a long manner, and Doc giving him that look and then a nod. More blood lay on Long Fang than could ever be calculated, but that blood would always weight heavily on him. It was the honorable thing to do for him though, as it saved him a long painfull death. Alater shook his head as he heard footsteps.

As he round the corner, he fired immediantly. The three guards that had been heading towards him dropped two of their number, and their third crumpled as Alater's pistol cracked his skull open with a mighty blow. Alater never slowed, moving through the maze of a complex straight towards the tower he knew would be there.

As Alater reached the top of the small tower, he could see the battle down below. About six strangley armored troopers were closing in on Jelly and Saph's position, only one or two being deturred by Jable's fire. Though well aimed and armed they were having real trouble, especially with Saph injured.

"Gotta calm down, need to gain control." Alater said as he began to assemble his DC-17M in the usual swift manner. The sniper mode had to be readjusted, but that wasn't difficult, just had to calm down and make the shots, that's when it hit him.

Alater reached into his pocket and pulled out the cigar Doc had given him on the shuttle as a present for some strange human ritual he still didn't understand. Something about advancing physicall decline and death. Alater lit the cigar and drew back a big puff, the strange feeling filling his body. He sighed as he exhaled, and leened into his scope.

The first shot decapitated a trooper, the second left a gaping hole in the back of another. Alater took another puff as he lined up a second shot and leened into his Comm link.

"Heard yall could use some backup." He called over the Comm.

The lights in the room flickered then suddenly went off. Screams from other rooms could be heard, mostly female, as they were high pitched. Wicket and Duandal looked at each other and snickered. Wicket took the lever and pulled it back up. A few seconds later the lights came back on. The two snickered again. They continued this routine for about five minutes.

Suddenly the door bursted open and five troopers rushed through. Wicket and Durandal looked at each other. "Shit!" They both dove behind the nearest box or object they could find. The enemies began shooting Wicket and Durandal's direction. Every now and then, the two would peep out and shoot at the troopers. This went on for a few moments, until Durandal was getting frustrated. He picked up the box he was hiding behind and threw it at the remaining enemies. They went flying to the ground. Wicket got out and shot at the men, killing them.

"That was close..." Wicket said with a sigh of relief. "I think we should go back." Durandal nodded and they started down the hall, but not before Wicket went back in the room and turned the power on and off once more.

The two walked down the empty halls. All of the guards seemed to be dead or they had retreated outside. A few minutes later, Wicket and Durandal arrived at the place were the group was before they left. Nothing was on the floor but a few droids that resembled women. "Hmm, wonder what happened to them?" Wicket asked.

"I'll message Gio." Durandal said, taking out his comlink. "Yo Gio. Where you guys at?" A few seconds passed when suddenly the comlink crackled.

"Well team Alpha needed help so Alater went out to go help them. We just split up and trying to fend off the rest of the guards. I think we've got it under cover, so you can go out and help them if you want." Gio explained. "Oh, and where did you guys go?"

"Long story." Wicket said taking the comlink from Durandal then giving it right back. "Well, let's go."

The two walked outside and saw the rest of the group. Alater was killing more troopers, to no ones surprise. Wicket ran up and waved to Jelly. "Do something to help Wicket!" Jelly shouted. Wicket shrugged and pretended to start shooting some troopers.

“Hmm... this one looks promising...” Riqimo peered down a lighted hallway that took a sharp turn to the left and had stairs going downwards, “I’ll scout it out with Xenos,” he moved forward, rifle held perfectly as he had been drilled hundreds, if not thousands of times, right down to exact angle to point the weapon.  Peering over the railing and shining his flashlight down the drop, Riq pulled back quickly and jogged back towards the door, one hand holding the rifle, other one covering his nose.

“v’at’s v’eads to the se’vers v’oc.” Xenos was right behind his squad leader in a similar manner.

“Quite an incedible smell we found there...” Riq mumbled through his hand as he quickly closed the door behind him and took a deep breath of fresh, clean air.  “Got door number three open yet? Dax?”

“Almost...” came the Echani's reply, just as the door hissed open halfway and revealed a turbolift shaft, lacking a turbolift unfortunately.

“Well... we found a way down...” Riqimo peered as far as he could down the lift’s shaft and chuckled, “And... looks like we just got shafted in how we are going down...”

A couple laughs were cut off when then realized Doc was serious as he undid his belt and worked with the wire device on it.  “Gonna have to improvise a bit here, with a little improvising we can slow down with our belts here when we get moving too fast.”

Blank stares were his only response as he sighed, “Would you rather go through the septic system?”

"Alater, what the..." Came Jelly's voice over the Comm as he finished bandaging Saph's wound. Through the scope he could see some kind of evil stare mixed with shock and awe. The look didn't last long as he had to duck back down behind the log to avoid another blaster shot.

Alater kept firing, his aim steady but he was having to move every now and again. His spot up on the tower gave him quite the height advantage but these troopers were well trained and had decent weapons. Saph and Jelly still weren't providing much cover, though Squall did manage to down one more. Their red and black armor was also a little hard to spot out of the rotting wood of the fallen logs.

The troopers had carbines, longer rifles made for better accuracy and more punching power. Atleast one shot got a little too close and singed his shoulder which was exposed from under his armor. His scales protected him mostly but it still was going to leave a nasty mark.

Alater looked back into his scope to see another form running towards them, diving under cover was silver blur; Wicket. The little man had somehow found them, run straight through a firefight and dived behind cover.

Alater sighed as he concentrated on downing the last few men before more showed up. The red and black troops continued to fire as they retreated in a very brisque manner. Squall was now chasing the last three down, his gun firing in a wild manner but with uncanny accuracy. The aged trooper showed an uncanny amount of skill with his weapon as he chased down the last few living troopers before ducking back behind cover at the sound of approaching back up.

Reason for Edit: Name change from trooper no longer in squad to one that is

“Well... if this doesn’t work, I’ll scream at you,” Riq was about to grasp the cord and swing his modified belt around it, “In case you didn’t know, that means find another way down.”

Once Riqimo was completely off solid ground and dangling from the three inch diameter cable with only his climbing boots keeping him from sliding downwards, he gave a nervous smirk, “Wish me luck.”

Accelerating at 11.64 meters per second squared, Riqimo was soon squinting his eyes from the air rushing over him, Now to pray this works... He pulled opposite ways with his makeshift turbolift rappelling gear, also known as a modified belt, and heard the metal grinding as he started to decelerate rather than speeding up due to gravitational attraction.  “It’s alright!” the platoon commander shouted above him, releasing his grip so he would start speeding up a little more, “Be sure to space yourselves out a bit.”  Last thing Riq needed was two troopers colliding with each other and both entering a complete freefall.

Riq’s nose twitched slightly and he tried to distinguish what the smell was as his inner calves started to warm up.  Smoke... is there a fire around here?  As the friction caused his armor to wear a little thinner, Riq cursed and pulled his legs back, making himself swing back a little from the wire, which made matters a little worse...

At first he swung a little away from the wire, but following the pendulum laws, he was soon swinging back towards it, his groin, armored as well thank goodness, bounced against the cable, making swing back out, some small chips of white plasteel scratching Riq lightly on the face as he accelerated downwards, trying to regain some stable and safe decent.
