"It"s all clear from here," Raziel heard Argon, a mile away, whisper into his hear. From his position Argon could clearly see the target. Raziel gave two different hand signals and the squad slid up towards the edge of the ridge. Lukas Yuy and Kuroishi headed off to the right at a tangent, moving faster but still keeping their heads down.
    The Raziel slid to the ground and levelled his rifle; his eyes scanned the other side of the ridge. The rocky terrain swept down away from the squad for a few hundred metres before levelling out. Straight in front of them was a small stone building. It was small and squat, Raziel guessed it could only be made up of a few rooms.
    "Argon, any sign of the POW"s?" Raziel whispered. He looked over his shoulder, high above the wraiths to where Argon was concealed.
    "Nothing at all, not even a light inside." Afyon, also hearing the message, gave Raziel a concerned look. Raziel held up his right hand and moved his fingers through a small pattern. Immediately Lukas and Kuroishi started crawling down towards the building. Afyon pulled down a night vision scope from his forehead and fixed his eyes on the target.
    "Interesting," murmured Afyon. He pointed down to the left of the building. Raziel"s eyes quickly picked out the movement.
    "Guard drone." Raziel said once. Kuroishi and Lukas stopped still and Raziel, Yun and Afyon trained their weapons on the drone as it hovered towards the two wraiths.
    "Please let it be a motion sensor," Yun whispered. The small device briefly hovered near Kuroishi before moving on, when it was a safe distance away the two continued. Raziel nodded at Yun who started to edge along the ridge, after a while he started to move forwards, circling the building at a distance. Raziel and Afyon also started to edge forward, but much more cautiously so they could still cover the others.
    By the time the drone came around again Kuroishi and Lukas were at the walls of the house, whilst Yun was on the far side of the building. When the drone was far away Raziel whispered:
    "Yun?"
    "Nothing new, one more door and an open window. There is a light inside but I can"t see anything from here."

    Raziel and Afyon were soon leant against the wall of the building with Kuroishi and Lukas. Kuroishi slid around the side of the house. He pulled a small mirror on a thin handle from his pack and edged it around. He the looked at Raziel and gave five hand signals: Droid. Guard. Three. Hostage. Two.
    Raziel pulled an electronic jammer from his pack and pointed to the door. Kuroishi slid under the window and crouched down next to the door, rifle held tight.
    Raziel tapped the comm unit three times. After three seconds he threw the Jammer into the building, there was a brief flash of light and a crash. Kuroishi was on his feet in a flash, he kicked the door open and fired two shots. Lukas was at the window firing as well.
    Before Raziel entered the building he heard three more shots from elsewhere, out of the corner of his eye he saw the drone explode farther up the ridge.
    The building was dark and wet, it was virtually featureless apart from a few wooden chairs and a generator. Raziel moved quickly past three droids still smoking. Raziel moved into the next room and stood in front of the hostages, rifle levelled at the opposite door.
    A second later Lukas went past him and stood by the door, when Kuroishi was also in place he pushed it open. Raziel kept his aim steady whilst Kuroishi quickly moved into the room. It was empty. The door on the other side was open and led straight outside. Raziel quickly turned to cover the door they had entered by, but no target presented itself.

    "Yun, Argon report. Building appears secure." Raziel whispered into his comm, daring to break the silence.
    "Some droids  came out from the opposite door, but they"ve been taken out." Yun said.
    "The guard drone"s been destroyed." Came argon"s reply.
    "Ok, secure the area!" shouted Raziel. Lukas, who had been examining the downed droids outside the building returned to the door and closed it. He leant his rifle on the window and looked out. Kuroishi moved the side they had entered from and did the same.
    Raziel looked down at the two sacks on wooden chairs. He pushed something on the comm unit and spoke loudly into it.
    "Hostages secure, request further instructions."
    "Exercise over, we"ll send a transport down. Excellent work by the way."
Raziel smiled, he nodded to Kuroishi and Lukas.
    "You two can come down now," Raziel spoke into his comm.

=============================================================


    "You moved across difficult terrain very quickly and yet not one of the probe droids detected you on the way in. very few squads have done that before." Cosmic was sat behind his new desk, his face shone in different colours as his face reflected the screen in front of him.
    "I think the hand signals worked very well, I had several sound detectors laid out there and you slipped by everyone of them. However I have some criticisms." Cosmic looked up from his screen, his eyes quickly flashed across the room, barely pausing on each of them.
    "I think leaving Argon out on his own above the target was a big mistake and I also believe you lacked good communication towards the end of the mission. Yun could quite easily have shot you as you came out of the east side of the building. In future I want to see more communication between you all when shots start being fired. I have sent you all a report on how the exercise went, I want it read."
    "Yes sir." Started Raziel, noticing that Argon was stirring.
"We will all read the reports and do the best that we can to deal with any faults you find in our methods."
    "Good, well all of these exercises have been leading up to something. Our friends at intelligence have some kind of hostage mission that needs a special forces squad working on right away." Cosmic took something from his desk and looked at it.
    "He will meet you first thing tomorrow morning, the letter doesn"t have any location on it. I assume he"ll find you. And be careful around those intelligence officials, they"re a dangerous sort and don"t care much for the lives of those in their service." Cosmic looked carefully at Raziel.
    "Show them what this division is made of, dismissed."

============================================================

    The squad were all up as usual the next morning. They went through breakfast without hearing anything, but almost as soon as they were all leaving the barracks Raziel"s comm unit buzzed.
    "Sergeant. This if Fury please come to my office now."
    "Interesting," remarked Argon, raising one eyebrow.

    Raziel knocked once at Fury"s door, instead of the usual call Fury opened the door himself. He stared at Raziel briefly, then nodded before standing aside. Raziel was instantly on his guard. Sat behind Fury"s desk was a tall, well groomed man. His jet black hair was slicked back and his eyes were a bright blue, his sharp gaze turned instantly to Raziel and his thin lips smiled ever so slightly. His black gloves, with the imperial insignia marked him out as an intelligence official.
    "Please I"d like all of you to sit down." His voice was clear and crisp, but Raziel got the impression it could be whatever this man wanted it to be. The squad all sat down on seats spread out in front of the desk. Fury sat down behind the intelligence official and looked on.
    "As you all know you have been assigned to me for a brief time to complete a small mission. It may seem rather boring and mundane to you soldiers of action, but it is important none the less. I am informed that some of you have a large amount of experience in these kinds of situations." He looked sharply at Raziel, then continued. Raziel wandered what kind of mission this was.
    "As you may or may not know some of out best pilots are assigned to us for dangerous missions. Basically the fly long range scouts into enemy territory to try and pick up communications signals. These are sent back to us and we then decode them. Every one of our pilots knows the risk." Again he looked at Raziel quickly.
    "Many ships are destroyed and normally the pilots are lost. Last year two ships flying together never returned, we don"t know for certain what happened and it was assumed they were destroyed. However our agents were warned to look out for the pair. Last month they were spotted." The intelligence official looked to Fury. The major touched a pad on his left and then a hologram lit up showing two men. First the holograms showed their whole body and then they increased in size so that only their faces were visible.
    "On a small civilian planet they were both recently spotted, captives of the rebels. Now the rebels are not as efficient at obtaining information for us, but sometimes they can crack someone. Right now it looks like the pilots may have talked. What we need you to do is to go to this planet and find out exactly what has happened, what has been found out and ultimately to stop the rebels from gaining any further information!" He paused and looked at them all.
    "And we are meant to do this how?" Raziel asked.
    "You will be taken to the planet and shown around by our agent. Although the planet is under Republic control the city has only a police force and a naval launch pad. If all goes well you will need to attack the rebel intelligence building and find our pilots. Any captured republic soldiers will be welcomed, our methods of extracting information are far quicker and they would be invaluable." The intelligence officer looked at them all each in turn and smiled quickly.
    "You will be contacted in two days time. Be prepared to move out then, civilian clothes, discrete weapons, no insignia, I"m sure you know what to do." Without pausing the official was on his feet and out of the door.

    Fury slowly stood up and went to his chair. He looked at it for a second and then sat down.
    "I can"t tell you who that was, but let me just warn you that he is a very high ranking man and a very dangerous one at that."
    "I trust we"ll find out more about the mission soon?" Afyon asked.
    "Oh I doubt it, not until the last minute that is. When you"re on the planet, wherever it is, you"ll be told exactly what you need to be told. I expect it will involve a lot of surveillance followed by a night time raid of some kind. You may be required to stay there for a time afterwards if there are any complications."
    "I don"t like this," Yun said, he looked up from his feet and shook his head slowly.
    "No-one ever likes dealing with them, efficient is all they are," Fury replied.
    "One thing, although the city is a civilian city how could we possibly get those pilots out of there?" Argon asked.
    "We"re not meant to," Raziel said.
    "And how do you know that exactly?"
    "He mentioned specialist skills and looked at me. I was an assassin. I think he was trying to get a message across."
    "Well as far as I"m concerned unless they tell you so you"re to bring those pilots out alive. And remember I expect a good long informal chat with you afterwards Raziel, just so I know how the squad performed,"
    "That"s very nosey of you sir," Raziel smiled.
    "Well I like to know what"s going on around me, I don"t like this any more than you all do. There"s something about this mission and they way it"s being handled that suggests something larger than a simple rescue. Our special forces have always been called in for operations like this, but not in this way. No matter, it"s not our place to question them, just get this done." Fury smiled and handed them all a disk.
    "Pictures and information about the two pilots along with some suggested equipment. Read it all and get ready. Good luck to you all and take care."


========================================================

[Summary: Chose equipment and weaponry to take on mission. Meet with intelligence agents in a weeks time to be taken to unknown planet. Once there the agent will show us around and give us more information. Right now it looks like we"ll be executing a hostage rescue. No information is given about the planet or city, but full descriptions and histories of the pilots has been provided. Get ready for the mission


Read all of the above story and take it where you want (to an extent) this is practise for any official stories that might be coming out way]

Afyon took Argon's lead and began stripping down and cleaning his weapons, carefully pondering over each one to determine if it would be of use or not.  In the end, he had managed to fit all he would need into two bags, an equipment bag, and a clothing/miscellaneous bag.

For equipment he decided on his commando gear, lightweight explosives, a round of concussion grenades, a 6" combat knife, two silenced automatic pistols, a silences semi-automatic carbine, a heavy grenade launcher, and a sniper rifle similar in model to Argon's.  He also other standard commando gear, communications equipment, survival gear, and a small belt clip datapad and a larger datapad with a transmitter.  For clothing he took everything from smuggler to civilian, to pirate, to rebel in order to have an appropriate mixture for the mission.  When he finally managed to cram all of that into his two bags, he lifted them and three cases of corellian ale and headed for the door passing Argon who was just finishing his packing.

Argon was packed and ready to travel.

A whiphid doesn't wear clothes, so he was able to give Yun an extra set to replace that awful pink shirt he had been given.

Instead, he carried three knives and a heavy projectile pistol burried in the fur underneath his belt where they would be covered from sensors.

In his belt, he carried the usual whiphid utility belt items, a thick and long rope, a grappling hook, a heavy mace, two wicked knives, and several other small but useful items.

Any customs official worth his beans would have learned by now that to take the belt away from a whiphid was to risk death, and this one wasn't any different from a usual belt.

On his shoulder, he carried his bag that he had packed the day before.  It was shielded from sensors so that they showed only cans, unmarked.

On his back, his sniper rifle had been camoflauged as a telescoping tripod.

Argon was packed and ready to travel.

Argon stared at the target in his sights.

It was dead center.

Almost.

He increased the zoom some more, twitching the rifle to dead center of the new, larger image.

It had been several years since he had began his meditations to eliminate fear in him.

Fear was a useless emotion to him, it only clouded judgement, made you overreactive, and generally destroyed combat efficiency.

Even the slight twitch away from a firing weapon was caused by fear, the slight twitch that would reduce the accuracy of the best trained marksman.

Argon focussed in another zoom level on the scope and centered the target again.

He had none of that anymore, his aim was true, his reactions were automatic, but driven my thought rather than emotion, and his marksmanship had improved dramatically.

He zoomed in another level, centered his target and fired.

The needlepoint laser flashed out, smacking the target only half a micrometer wide.

He pressed the button on the range to bring his target back in from 250 meters.

His target showed up soon, a fly that had been trapped to the paper by a sticky substance.

On the third hair of the seventh leg of the fly there was a hair.

In fact, "was" was definitely the right word for it, Argon had just spent three hours centering his sight upon it in order to fire that shot.

Releasing the fly, Argon returned the rifle to the range manager and headed back to the Wraith barracks.

He was ready for this mission.

(BTW, I assume I'm a scout, since that's what I've done ever since the old POD...)

    The next day as requested the squad were waiting in the fourth briefing room. Everyone was packed now and ready to go, Raziel had his clothes packed along with a small sealed black bag. Inside the bag were several pieces of equipment that he had come to love while working for the acient hutt family.
    Just as Raziel was about to start up a conversation the intelligence officer that they had met before strode into the room. He idly glanced about before sitting down infront of them. He didnt even pause for breath.
    "Good to see you all again," no-one replied. The officer raised one eyebrow and then carried on.
    "Although we have told you all a small amount about the planet you're going to i cannot disclose it's location. All i can tell you is that you will be going to the only large city on a relatively unpopulated mining planet. When you get there this agent will show you around. I hope you all play good tourists," he looked argon up and down quickly.
    A holographic image flickered into life infront of them. Raziel memorised this man quickly as well. He already had the images of both pilots set in mind, a very useful skill.
    "You're bags will be taken for you, don't worry we have ways of avoiding customs. That's all i can tell you for now im afraid. Enjoy your trip, i'll see you at hangar bay 4"

======================================

    The squad were sat around in the hangar for almost an hour before anyone showed up. Another uniformed intelligence officer walked into and pointed to a shuttle.
    "You'll be taken to a port, from their a civilian transport will take you the wrong way. A VE ship will then take you to a third planet and you'll go from there to the target. We will have men looking out for Republic agents at all times, we don't want them moving the pilots away from where they are now. Good luck soldiers."
    The door on the back of the shuttle opened and a group of men walked in and took their bags.
    "How are our bags getting there?" Afyon asked.
    "They'll be taken more directly to save you some trouble.
    "If anything has been taken or tampered with we won't be going ahead with the mission" Raziel interrupted.
    "I assure you nothing will be removed." The officer replied. He saluted and left without a word.
    "Do you think they'll take anything?" Argon said as their bags were taken away.
    "I doubt it, they'll have a good look around though." Raziel said.

    Before Raziel entered the shuttle after his squad he heard someone shout:
    "Wait!" He turned to see fury marching across the hangar towards him.
    "Good luck men," he said. He shook Raziel's hand and nodded to him. Raziel refrained from looking down as he felt something pushed into his palm. He nodded back at Fury.

======================================

    Raziel shook his arm slightly as the shuttle took off. He held a small data disk up to his eye and looked at it carefully.
    "Anyone have a datapad?" he asked.
He caught the datapad which Afyon threw to him. He gently inserted the disk and switched on the pad.
    The first thing that appeared on the screen was a brown planet. Raziel quickly scrolled through the info, as he went his grin got wider and wider. Pictures of four imperial agents working in the city, one of them acting as a rebel soldier. More informatio about the pilots, although there was no information about their intelligence missions.
    At the end was a footnote, added by fury.
"Take care, someone called Tucker was very interested in your activities."
    Tucker was a contact of Raziels. He appeared to be in charge one of the largest independant intelligence groups in the galaxy. He could picture him now approaching Fury and offering to help keeo his men safe in return for information or credits. Fury must be concerned for the Squad.
    Raziel's smile was large as he passed the datapad around.

At the rendezvous area, Argon listened as an intel agent outlined their travel plans.

They were to split up, but that was not unexpected, it was very hard to sneak and entire squad into an area all at once.

Argon listened to the relevant information:

He would be travelling alone.

He would be taken to Brodii by a VE ship first.

He would fly on a civilian transport from there as an architect enroute to the unnamed planet (the name of which would be revealed to him as he boarded his transport).

Upon arrival, he was to check into the Firmament Hotel, a place usually frequented by travelling businessmen, and go the architectural firm Maes & Roshoks.

These would be his contacts, and from there he was to reunite with his team.

He turned immediately after his dismissal and walked toward the VE transport, wondering what he could do to keep himself busy for two space trips.

Argon looked around after arriving on the planet.

It wasn't an odd place, just like any major spaceport in the galaxy, Grodat was teeming with many different forms of life.

He headed instantly for the architectural firm, his grounding in explosives gave him enough knowledge about buildings to act knowledgable even to a real architect.

He thought back to the chess games he had played on board the last transport.

Most of them had been no challenge, but there was that one kid who had done quite well.

Argon arrived and reported in.

Now all that was left was to wait for his squad.

OOC: Bare with my guys, I am going off of what Afyon wrote and it may not make much sense but here I go!

Lukas looked at Afyon with an determined look on his face when he saw the two soldiers get shot.

Lukas: "Afyon...I will go and get the driver out of the car..you stay here and I will drive it"

Lukas then got out of the car and looked around seeing more officers heading his way, he knew this was a risky chance but open the drivers door and shoved the driver out.

Lukas got in and closed the door and hit the pedal to the floor driving off at a high speed and he then turned into an alleyway.

He peered back at Afyon and grinned and nodded.

Lukas: "So Afyon..were should we head off to?, I missed the mission briefing..so I don't know what is going on.."

He continued to drive on for about 15 more minutes and then stopped when the coast was clear and got out.

Afyon got out as well and they both walked into a nearby abandoned building on Talus.

Lukas: Alright Afyon...I need the briefing on what is happening and the objectives...then we can be on our way"

Afyon quickly scanned outside the back entrance of the warehouse and once he was sure all was clear, he and Yun proceed out.  They needed some form of transportation to get downtown as walking for too long a distance would expose them to the observation of many Republican forces who may or may not have gotten word of their presence.

Eventually, it was decided that taking a taxi was about the best option and after walking three blocks, Afyon and Yun managed to find one waiting outside a bar.  After a small argument and AFyon offering 20 credits to the driver to drive them instead of who he was supposed to be giving a ride too, the driver accepted.  Five blocks from the bar, the two got out of the cab and made their way slowly towards the building as they still had forty minutes before Afyon was supposed to enter.

After making several detours to ensure they were not being followed, the two split up and AFyon entered the bar as instructed and found the designated booth empty.  Yun meanwhile walked another detour and entered five minutes later sitting on the opposite side of the room.  So far everything was go well.

(OOC: my bad, realized my last two posts I typed in Yun instead of Yuy for the person Im with, I apologize if I caused any confusion)

Afyon looked at his watch, another two minutes and then he was supposed to order his Ale.  He noticed that Yuy had walked into the bar exactly on time and had walked to a booth on the left hand-side.  Afyon was impressed to see Yuy followed orders and did not look any near his direction the entire time.  Afyon looked back down at his watch again and saw it was time.

"Waiter, a corellian ale make it fast please."  Afyon called to the waiter at the booth in front of him.  A minute later, the waiter brought his mug of ale on a tray and set the mug down infront of Afyon.  "Oh come on man what the hell you trying to pull?"  Afyon exclaimed as he took a look at the glass.  "You should learn how to actually pour a full glass you cheap bastard!"  Afyon exclaimed as he rose to his feet.

"Now just a minute sir you shut up and enjoy your ale or get the hell out!"  The waiter growled as he turned to leave the table.  Afyon reached out with his hand and grabbed the back of the waiter's collar spinning him around towards Afyon.  As the waiter's face came around, AFyon reached back with his right arm and let a punch fly right into the right side jaw of the waiter.  The waiter when flying backwards as Afyon felt a crunch go through his hand.

"Dammit!"  AFyon exclaimed as he rubbed his most likely broken hand.  The waiter got up and charged at Afyon and the two began to wrestle each other around, bumping into a few tables.  Quickly, two men jumped into the fray and pulled Afyon and the waiter apart.

"Republic Security Forces!"  One of the men identified himself and pulled out his identification.  "You," pointing to Afyon, "Come with us now, you have caused enough problems here."  He ordered as his colleague took out a pair of binders and clasped them on the arms of Afyon who was struggling to get free.  "Alright take him out.  The show is ovver folks, enjoy yourselves."  One of the RSF imposters said as he and his partner led Afyon out of the bar.  Ten minutes later, they had reached the meeting place and they took the binders off of Afyon.

Then, before he could make a choice, Kuroishi tapped Argon on the shoulder.

"He's in there," he said, pointing to an abandoned building just barely visible from their room.

One of the windows showed a small speck of light.

Smoothly and without hesitation, Argon swiveled his rifle in that direction and fired one shot.

He had no need to worry about the guards noticing, his rifle was a projectile weapon, and it was silenced.

Over the comm, they heard a splattering sound, then a thudding sound, and then silence.

Khall was no longer able to pull the strings.

"Raz," said Argon as Kuroishi began to unpack their heavy baggage that they had managed to acquire through Kuroishi's contacts rather than Khall, "we're ready to help blast a way out if you can hold on for another thirty seconds."

"Blast a way out?" asked Raz, "Look, I know you're good with explosives, and it's not that I don't trust you, but..."

"Relax," interrupted Argon, "this isn't explosives, it's much more fun."

He looked behind him at the nearly fully assembled E-web heavy blaster cannon that Kuroishi had nearly finished assembling.

"We're just about ready," continued Argon, "just run where we tell you to."

The affirmative reply from Raziel was cut off by a yelp as the Republic troops burst through the hatch.

Suddenly, the E-web opened up in full, ripping through the troops at the top of the stairway and sending the stairway itself collapsing down on the rest.

At the same time, Argon let loose a shot at the Republic sniper who had been setting up in a nearby tree.

The rather rude arrival of his body rather disturbed the complacency of the troops under the tree.

"Run to your 2 o'clock," said Argon, "Afyon's coming from that direction, and I'll be he has something planned.  We'll cover you."

Behind him, the E-web kept up its' continuous stream of fire, wreaking havoc among the completely unprepared Republic troops...
