Ok finally the wraith story is here. Not posting at least a few times will highlight you as not being active If you have any problems understanding this (my fault) email me Raziel tapped his fingers on the table repeatedly, he tapped in time with Fury’s annoying wall clock subconsciously. He took a moment to look around the office. He had been sat here now for fifteen minutes, waiting and looking. Then again it couldn’t get much more boring than the repetitive drill his squad had been subjected to since the vast empires last conflict. Things had generally been peaceful, no riots to put down and very little military activity that the vast empire felt threatened by.     Then again things had been stirring up a little the Fallen angels hadn’t been around recently.     Finally Raziel heard footsteps and a the murmuring of distant conversation. At last he head the door slide open and shut again.     “Good day sir,” Raziel said without bothering to turn.     “For me, yes, not for you I’m thinking.” Fury replied     Fury strode around his desk to stand in front of Raziel. He dumped a heavy folded on it before seating himself. He looked straight back at Raziel and smiled weakly.     He opened the folder and handed a photo to Raziel.     “Please be careful with that, it’s the only one we have.”     Raziel had a guess at what this might be about: “You want me to be an assassin again?”     “Oh no, not quite, I’m afraid it’s far more complicated than that.” He spread out the rest of the documents within the folder and handed Raziel a disk kept in a pocket.     “It’s all on that disk for you and your squad’s benefit.” He stated     “You’re going to tell me what this is about sometime now aren’t you?” Raziel asked.     “S’pose I could. That man is the leader of a well-funded Terrorist groups acting within some of our controlled systems. He’s is described as ‘inspirational’ and as a sound tactician. We don’t know what this lot want yet, but they have recently made attacks on civilian centres near vast empire outposts.     “Now we need to find out two things. Firstly their aims and secondly where there arms are coming from.” Fury paused.     “So you want us to take them out?” Raziel interjected.     “No, we doubt a single squad could anyway. All reports show that they have more than adequate man power and weaponry.     “Now you may have heard recently of the intelligence organising a raid on a small band of terrorists that tried to operate on Cepany. I think they called themselves the ‘scorching hand’ or something like that. Had to do with a love of burning anyone who pissed them off.” Fury paused again and looked through his files. This time Raziel stayed silent, intrigued.     “Yes that was it, the scorching hand. Anyway, intelligence wants to get someone into this new terrorist group. So they decided to pose as the scorching hand, who’s demise is still not common knowledge. They made contact and arranged a meeting. Unfortunately they don’t have the kind of men who could pose as a hardened terrorist group if you get what I mean.”     “And we can?” Raziel finished.     “Yes the idea is you and your squad go to the meeting and ask to help with any action against the Vast Empire. You will have to spend some time doing as they say, helping them out, but reporting everything to us.”     “What if they want to attack any Vast empire outposts or even civilians?” Raziel asked.     “You will carry out anything they ask of you. You haven’t gone soft at all? It will be necessary, those lives will contribute to the safety of the vast empire.     “When the time is right we will organise an ambush, with you on the inside we should be able to completely decimate them. Them we will follow up by going after their suppliers.” Fury stopped and reorganised his file.     “Any more information will be sent to you.” He stated.     Raziel starred down at the disk he had been handed and then at the photo Fury was carefully placing in his file. He quietly got up and left.     A month later Raziel was walking through the back streets of some run-down city. The place stank and never seemed to actually get any sunlight.     The rest of his squad walked behind him. They were all dressed in unremarkable clothes, but every one was armed.     Raziel stopped at an unmarked door and knocked five times. The door slid open and revealed the barrel of a hefty blaster.     “You’re late.” Came a voice from behind the gun.     “The scorching hand is never late!” pronounced Raziel. In his research it had been said that the scorching hand group were cocky and sure of themselves.     “Get in.” came the stern reply.     The wraiths entered the room to find themselves surrounded by around thirty or more men blocking their path. The not-so-abandoned warehouse was filled with crates and blanket covered objects. The square building was barely lit by a few windows, the light smearing across the floor.     Across the room from the Wraiths sat the man Raziel had seen before. Raziel smiled and looked him straight in the eye.     “Come here,” The man said.     Raziel stepped forward and pushed two men aside, out of his way. He heard someone snigger: “Scorched hand.” The rest of the Wraiths followed him through. Bronx, the latest to join the squad, followed in the others wake. Afyon however violently pushed people out of his way.     Raziel reflected that he would need very close attention to keep him in line here away from the army.     The wraiths stood before the terrorist’s leader. The leader was flanked on both sides by heavy bodyguards, well armed too. A third man walked forwards and looked Raziel up and down. His smirk angered Raziel, but he just looked straight back at him, unblinking.     “Why are you here?” asked the man seated across from them.     “We need work, the VE almost caught us. Killed most of my men and I hear you’ve been taking action against them,” replied Raziel.     “Do we need the likes of you here?” he asked     “We are few now, but my men are well trained. We’re more suited to military action than I doubt most of your let are?”     “Hah I doubt that somewhat! But you have guts, again though why would we want you?” carried on their leader.     The skinny, smirking man moved up, face-to-face with Raziel. His breath stank.     “Scorched hand, you’re worthless. I say we shoot the bastards and leave.” He spat. He pushed Raziel lightly then starred at him.     Raziel shot into action, his forehead connected solidly with the man’s face shattering his nose. Raziel grasped the man’s arm and pulled his hand out close to him. Raziel brought some object up close to his hand.     “Scorched hand,” Raziel smiled. Flame burst forth from the small object and engulfed the smirking man’s hand. After a few seconds of screaming Raziel let go.     All of the Wraiths held weapon’s now, they were ready to stand and fight.     Raziel was not particularly surprised when the gang’s leader started laughing.     “Oh very nice, he said,” still laughing at his burned companion.     “My name is D’Rahl and I think we will get on fine. We have no name, you are simply in the service of D’rahl” he smiled.     The Wraiths had been waiting at the hotel, that had been arranged for them, for three days now. Raziel had been getting more and more anxious waiting for some contact. Then the room’s Com-system came alive.     “This is D’Rahl. I do hope you’re listening well. Our next target has been arranged. We will need your squad ready in three days.”     “Not a problem,” replied Raziel     “Good we will be attacking the local racing grounds. A lot of people attend the speeder race each Saturday. I need your men to get two of mine past the guards into the communications centre. The bombs are already planted. You will receive complete blueprints of the centre in a few moments.”     “Understood.”     “I hope your men will prove yourselves in a few days. Tomorrow my men will come and meet you and go over the attack route.”     “Ok I’ve checked out with Fury. We go along with the mission this weekend. Until we know more, or have proven ourselves to them we carry on.” Raziel instructed.     “I’m not really happy with this.” Bronx said.     “Why can’t we just take them now?!” asked Afyon.     “Afyon, calm down for once and follow orders ok. Now get yourselves prepared!” Raziel shouted.

*Lukas opens the door and sees Afyon fly right past him* Whoa...watch were you are going man. *Laughs* *Lies down on his bed* I am willing to risk my life for the Vast Empire, So it doesn't really matter. But as you said, it is suicide for yourself anyway... *Closes his eyes and sleeps through the night thinking until he hears the alarm clock go off and he bolts to his feet quickly and gets his gear on* Hurry up man! Raziel will be here in any minute! *Lukas stands at the door* Yeah, Morning does come fast indeed... *Lukas sees Raziel and the rest of the squad barge in and he is ready but sees Afyon is not* I warned him Sir...but he didn't listen. *Eyes him and laughs to himself* I will wait up for him Sir, Go on and wait outside. *Stands outside the hotel room door and finally hears it open after 10 minutes* Geez, What took you so long! Afyon: I had to make sure I had everything... Lukas: Well, Alright. *Lukas and Afyon walk down to the rest of the squad* *Listens and sees the rest of the squad get into the van and sees them go off* It looks to be all clear... *Afyon waves Lukas over to the 2 bikes as he hops on one and Afyon hops on another one* *The 2 zoom off*

The squad quickly moved up the first flight of stairs and entered a storage room to go over the map. "Alright men, the communications tower is in the far back of the grandstand on the 20th floor.  The first 15 floors are general levels for spectators and bookies.  The top 5 are completely secured off and monitored by security check stops, trip lines, and security cameras.  Most of the money is also stored in these levels."  Raz said as he pointed out key security stations on the map.  "Now we got in rather easily but now it gets tougher.  We must make sure the inspection pass holds up and we must havee some of us stay back for back up."  He continued as the squad continued to study the map.  Afyon was the only man not huddled around the group.  He was checking his gun and leaning against the door in a world of his own. Something was bothering him about this mission, they had got in too easily and were too readily convinced that they could just march right into the communicaitons tower and take it. "Very well then, lets move out."  Raz concluded as the men gathered their gear.  They had their weapons hidden in toolboxes and other items for when they needed them. "Um sarge I think something is wrong here."  Afyon stated as the guys stood up.  "This wont work, its too easy, there is no way they are this lax."  He continued as the group sighed and sat down. "And you have a better idea Afyon?"  Raz demanded. "Yes sarge I do.  What we need is a team of 4 to act as our repair crew.  Two other men will quietly knock out two of the security guards, change clothes, and take thier identification passes.  They can alter the pictures on the passes with this device here."  Afyon stated as he reached into his hip pocket and drew out a small box with a slot for an ID card.  "We will need at least one man to hack into the central computer and start making sure that our repair pass will pass all security, we will also need him to radio us about security features."  He continued as he handed Raziel and the squad slicer each a small transmitter and ear piece.  "These transmitters look just like datapads and with the distress signal, the transmitter and your ear piece will disintigrate so that no one will know you had them.  I have a third one of these.  We need two men for a diversion so you will be able to pass through securitry more easily.  We will do that."  Afyon finished as he inserted the earpiece into his ear. "Fine, follow what Afyon said.  Lukas you go with him as the diversion, put on a pair of smuggling clothes, a blaster belt, and grab this satchel of explosives.  Afyon here are two pistol silencers, and two blaster silencers.  Use them well.  The rest of you move out.  Arkanian and Grizzly will knock out the two guards and then meet up with the team on the 14th floor.  Bronz you are the slicer and will hack into a safe terminal.  Move out."  Raz growled.  He was angered by Afyon's boldness in changing the plan but it did make sense.  It also however gave Afyon the chance to be a loose cannon but he was a very deadly cannon. The men moved out of the room and moved quickly as they started their missions.

Afyon quickly moved out from the room and walked to the turbolift.  Lukas quickly followed him in as Afyon pushed the button for the 12th floor. "Now we go buy a few bets and go up to the 14th floor.  That way we can observe where the security increases and how to deal with it."  Afyon said as the turbolift stopped suddenly and the doors opened.  The two quickly worked their way towards one of the gambling stands. Afyon placed a few large bets on some of the big name racers and worked his way towards the back of the stadium.  Lukas went to another desk and quickly moved away from Afyon to the otherside of the stadium. "Security is tight over hear."  Afyon heard Lukas whisper through his ear piece.  "I see at least 5 guards at the turbolift, 2 more at the stairs, and 4 security cameras.  I think there is a security check point at the top of the stairs as well."  He continued as Afyon continued to watch the race, not making any expression at all to arouse suspicion. The race quickly ended and Afyon worked his way out of the stands and into the main building.  He walked slowly to the stand to collect his winnings and noticed even heavier security on his side.  He also noticed movement from behind the guards to the right.  Wraith was about to strike its first blow. Seconds later, the two guards had been gassed and pulled into the closet behind them. "Damn that was fast."  Afyon muttered to himself as he looked around.  None of the guards were looking in that direction, the movement had not been seen. A minute later the two wraith members exited the closet with the securitry uniforms on.  Their ID tags even had their pictures on it.  The device Afyon had given them had worked perfectly. Afyon picked up his pace and moved towards Lukas' position.  He noticed from the plans that there was a private access to the 15th floor by way of a staircase located in what looked like a closet. "The target is a small door that looks like a closet to the left of desk."  Afyon muttered at his datapad as he walked towards the doors back to the seating area.  There were two guards near the closet that they needed to take out in order to get in. Afyon ducked behind a pillar by the door and drew his pistol.  He quickly screwed on the silencer and prepared himself to shoot.  Just as he moved out he realized that the gambling desk would see his shot. "Meet up in the hall and we will each take out one."  Afyon said as he put away his datapad and walked, blaster in holster, towards the two guards.  He saw Lukas moving his way as he crossed the corridor and by the guards. Lukas rounded the corner and drew his silenced pistol.  Afyon swung around with his out as well. "Ok, nice and quiet, one movement or noise and I will blow your head off."  Afyon said softly but firmly.  "Into the closet across from the private stairs."  He ordered as he gestured with his gun for their hands up. The two guardswalked slowly into the closet, backs turned to the two wraiths.  Afyon shot both of them in the back and locked the closet. "Lets go."  Afyon said as they moved into the private stairwell.

As Bronx easily hacks into a safe terminal he mumble's to himself, "Stupid Afyon...it's Bronx not Bronz ya loser. Man when going to get to help Raz and Afyon and Lukas on better stuff then hacking into the terminals. And carering the rifles, like thats hard." Bronx turns on his comlink and says to Raziel," Ok I'm in, what now?"

lets get this mission done so we can advance the story

*Afyon and Lukas round the corner as the see smoke everywere in the corridor so they both draw there pistols and peer around the corner slowly* Lukas: "Whoa..." *Lukas steps over 2 bodies and then steps over 4 more before seeing gun fire and then Lukas looks up seeing Raziel pull out a flashbang and then looks at it explode as he is blinded* *Lukas stumbles back and is dazed a little and then feels himself fall to the ground for a few minutes and turns to see the figure hit the wall by the blast of Bronx's rifle shot* Lukas: "Nice shot!" *Lukas feels the red blood spray onto his face as he gets finished the battle is already finished and he gets up* Lukas: "I will take your advice about the flashbang, Sir" *Lukas listens to the man talk and then listens to the plan about what to do on the other floors and the safe* =========================================== *Lukas looks at Afyon reload his pistol and then turns to Narroc and Grizzly* Lukas: "What shall we do now?" Afyon: "Take up defensive positions and do whatever you need to do while I go off and do as we planned" *Lukas nods and takes the grenades and then sees Narroc take place by the corridor corner and then Lukas has his back agains the box as he sees Afyon dash off* *Lukas hears gunfire and then hears 3 dead bodies hit the floor* Lukas: "Good job Afyon..." *Lukas smiles* *10 minutes later Lukas and the other 2 hear an explosion and gunfire* Lukas: "Whoa...what was that?..." Narroc and Grizzly: "Sounded like an explosion of some sort.." *Lukas peers up and then sees about 6 guards heading there way along with more coming as he hears more footsteps* *Lukas yells: "Looks like we have company!" *Lukas gets up on one knee and fires off 2 rounds at the 2 trip mines hitting them dead on and then an explosion occurs and then hears thuds on the wall and continues to fire as he and the others hold off the coming enemy*
