Planetary Information

Planet Name:  Nalbrice
Planet Function:  Trade
Government:  Anarchy
Planet Type:  Terrestrial
Terrain:  Jungle
Gravity:  Standard
Atmosphere:  Type I (breathable)
Length of Day:  29 hours
Length of Year:  135 days
Hydrosphere:  Moist
Temperature:  Temperate
Population: 200,000,000
Starport:  Stellar
Tech Level:  Information, with Hyperspace facilities

History: 
Originally founded as a colony of religious dissidents from throughout the Corellian Run, Nalbrice has become much more.  After the fall of the Empire, the once relatively unnoticed planet become a stopping point for many explorers, criminals, ex-Imperials and the various smugglers avoiding the emerging reach of the New Republic.  From a small 2 million being colony of co-religionists, it swarmed to hundreds of millions who could care less about religious harmony.

Social and governmental controls broke down as a highly militarized and warlike culture of various criminal organizations and smugglers fought for zones of control.  The planet is now a chaotic landscape of prefab housing and has only recently tried to clean up some of its territory as it is now an important waypoint on the burgeoning Remnant Run between the Vast Empire and the Imperial Remnant and other former Imperial regions.

Current intelligence points to a power struggle between an undetermined coalition of stabilizing forces and a loose confederation of criminal gangs.  The majority of the populace is left caught in the crossfire of daily skirmishes.

Operation Order

I. Situation

A. Enemy Forces

1. Weather: Moist and incredibly mild, the weather on Nalbrice is punctuated by the occasional afternoon rainstorm and a regular monsoonal season which will not affect this current operation

2. Terrain: The planet is a jungle in two forms.  Urban landscapes were created with absolutely zero central planning.  Mapping is nonexistant outsides of spaceports and the old capital of Brinine and the former religious center Sernus.  The remaining jungles that cover 60% of the planet are untamed, wild, and rarely ventured into.

3. Enemy forces: Technically, everyone on this planet is a potential enemy. Be advised that each operational step is likely to make allies and enemies you are unaware of.

4. Location(s): Key targets of opportunity will be relayed further in the mission orders.

5. Activity:  Most forces on the planet are engaged in a struggle between the two groups named above.  The rest are merely guarding their own property.

6. Strength, morale, and capabilities/equipment: Most forces arrayed against you will be of thug nature; brute strength and numbers to overcome a lack of proper training.  One to one, even an Imperial cadet would come out ahead.  This, however, will rarely be the case.

B. Friendly Forces

1. Wraith squad.  No other Vast Empire combat elements will be able to assist.

II. Mission

You will be masquerading as Sector Rangers in pursuit of three employees of Etchik Shipwrights (an Imperial Center cover company).  ES has been negotiating with the criminal elements for a starfighter contract which would give them leverage against their opposition which has been outfitting themselves from the Incom Corporation (a deal gone sour with our invasion of Fresia).
The three individuals in question are spies for the opposition.  We need them captured and prepared for return to VE space.

III. Execution

Intent

A. Concept of the Operation

Land on Nalbrice, establish contacts with criminal gangs and announce your intent on capturing fugitives.  Etchik Shipwrights is in gang-controlled areas.

1. Maneuver:

Begin surveillance on the three individuals and trace their comings and goings and contacts.  When acceptable risk is low, capture the three within a minimum of time as possible.

2. Fires:

The spies may be residing in opposition controlled areas.  As Sector Rangers you have legal authority to ask any planetary policing force to step aside, or to terminate if necessary.

B. Medical Evacuation:

If necessary, a daily courier service to Etchik and other VE planets departs daily as part of ES operations.  This would be a last resort as ES is known to be infiltrated and your cover may be blown

C. Personnel:

Enemy Prisoners of War (EPW) not considered critical to the mission can be terminated or turned over to criminal contacts for their interrogation purposes.

D. Miscellaneous:

1. Special equipment.
You will be outfitted with two light craft and Sector Ranger documentation.  Gear is open to interpretation.

Sienar Mu-2 shuttle outfitted with holding cell
Vangaard Pathfinder scout ship

2. Captured equipment.
Use whatever gear necessary to accomplish mission.  Any aberrant technology is to be returned to Army HQ upon completion of mission.

IV. Command & Signal

A. Command
TBD by squad leader

B. Signal
TBD by squad leader

Success of this phase will allow other potential mission elements to become possible.

This is pretty wide open information, leaving you much room for interpretation.  The only imperative goal is the live capture and return of the spies designated and any other information/personnel you can discover.

Here is a link about the Sector Rangers in case you are unfamiliar with this galactic law enforcement group.

Also, a related link and one on Special Enforcement Officers, which Kuroishi can use if the need presents itself.

Evil thoughts are already running rampant in my mind.

I may need the medic staff aboard the Sweetums to bring the prisoners back 'alive'.

Or are we supposed to bring them back as intact as possible?

As long as they are capable of speaking without intermittent shrieking, that would be nice.

Leave us a couple undamaged pores for the IT-O droids too.

It says that the Sector Rangers tend to work alone.  Does that mean that Wraith will split up to find their targets?

[OOC:  Break out the fish tanks!  I've been suffering a bit of braindrain lately so this may be a bit less then my usual work.  /OOC]

The orders were in.

Kuroishi had hoped that he'd have some time to put the squad through some training exercises before they had to go on another mission.

Things have a nasty habit of working out the most unhelpfel manner possible.

Kuroishi knew this situation could easily deteriate so he decided to make arrangements to have another way off if need be.

The Sweetums and Royal Barkalounger would be available as emergency evac ships if the need arose.  Kuroishi also wanted GUESSWORK to keep him informed to troop movements so that if things got too bad he'd at least know in advance.

"Squad report to breifing room at 08:00 hours.  We've got a new mission."  Kuroishi announced over the barracks P.A. system.

[OOC:  Warning I'm making this mission up as I go along at this point.  /OOC]

Argon walked into the squad briefing room at 0740 local time.  He liked getting to the briefings early, that gave him a chance to watch the squad leader prepare, letting him know how well the mission was set up.

Lounging in the seats, he also got a chance to observe the rest of the squad as they entered.

Kuroishi came first, glanced at Argon and went to the briefing panel.  He seemed to be a little unsure of himself, but looked thoughtful, so at least he was making a plan.

Raz came in next, seeming more relaxed than he used to, now that he no longer had the burden of squad leader weighing on him.

In a way, Argon envied Kuroishi, he had a squad where at least two thirds of the members had lead groups of their own in the past, meaning that they knew better what it took to make effective command.

Dragoon came in fourth, obviously not ready to be awake this early, but he seemed alert enough.

Last came Lukas at 0759, seemingly out of breath from having run the entire way.

The lights dimmed and Kuroishi activated the panel to start the briefing.

Argon had no idea just how much of a burden Raziel had lost on his recent "leave"
He wandered why they hadn't commented on the long gash running down the right hand side of his face...or the blaster burn on his forearm for that matter.
Maybe it was because of just how much happier than usual he looked. Somehow he looked less broody. He had seemed relaxed and even friendly since he had returned.

As always he twirled a knife, with a dangerously sharp looking edge, through his fingers as he sat down to listen to kuroishi's orders.

Dragoon instinctively moved his hand to the pack of cigarettes in his front pocket, but with one look at the giant whipid menacingly examining everyone in the room, Dragoon thought better of it.  He took out three thermal detonators instead and began to juggle them.  Lukas looked over too him and gulped.  Dragoon responded with a wink and continued juggling.

"Put those away," Kuroishi said as the briefing began.  Dragoon grimaced and put the thermal detonator's back into their hidden pockets on Dragoon's suit. 

"Aye Aye SIR!!" Dragoon said in an exaggerated fashion.  He stood up and made a crisp and proper salute, then sat down again.

Kuroishi gave him a stern look and then began the briefing.

[OOC:  I've just realized something that we have no choice but to do a bit of training for but at least I got some ideas now, not many but a few.  I'll work out our targets on the fly.  /OOC]

"I'll get right to the nitty gritty of it.  Fury needs us to locate and secure these three individuals.  We don't have much intel other then they seem to be hidding on the planet Nalbrice.  We're to infiltrate Nalbrice under the cover of the Sector Rangers.  Fury has included a breifing on the group, familiarize yourselves with it.  Once we have reviewed all available data I'm going to run the squad through a series of training exercises.  This is neccessarry since I appear to be the only member of the squad with any sort of law enforcement expierience.  If we are to keep our cover secure I'm going to have to teach you all a few general tricks of the law enforcement trade.  Good speed gentlemen."  Kuroishi said as the holoprojector displayed all available information on thier targets.

"After reading Fury's breifing on the Sector Rangers I have come to the conclussion that I alone should be attempt to pull off the guise while the rest of the squad shall be my deputies.  This will still require significant training on your parts but will not be as exaustive as trying to pass every member off as a true Sector Ranger.  This also has the added benifit of matching more closely the profile of the typical Sector Ranger.  My tour of duty as a MP for my homeworld's PDF gave me the same duties as a Sector Ranger but because of our non-existance to everyone else I did not have the same authority.  Remember we're suppossed to be law enforcement personel on this mission for our cover.  Questions?"  Kuroishi added as he changed the display to Fury's briefing on the Sector Ranger's.

[OOC:  I'll pause for other people tp put forth some real questions before I go on.  /OOC]

    "Depends how you plan on enforcing laws," Raziel smiled.
"I was just wander as i've never met one of these people before. What kind of ID do they have on them that gives them their powers and what do you think will happen if you get split up from the rest of us, what powers do we have if any?"


(OOC: nice plan btw. I may not post too much atm cos im mostly writing Raziels stories.)

Argon looked around.  Unlike the others, he was more used to breaking laws of authority rather than following its orders.

He decided he was just going to follow Kuroishi's lead on this one, he would probably go and behave more as a terrorist if he was to be separated.

Ah well, best to sit back and let things happen, worrying about them took up altogether too much time.

Lukas sat and listened to his squad leader silently and concentrated.

He kept his eyes on Kuroishi the whole briefing, he closed his eyes for the majority of the meeting and listened carefully.

Lukas never really talked much, he was one of the silent types.

After the briefing was over, he looked around at his fellow squad members and nodded to them.

"The deputies will have nearly as much authority as the actual Sector Ranger.  If you get seperated play it by ear.  Try and keep your cover but if you see an opportunity take it.  We can always 'arrest' the 'rouge' deputies and thier cohorts if need be.  I was Military Police not civilian so I can offer little advice about what to bring for weaponry.  If there is something you require let me know and I can have it available in a day.  Transportation has been provided but I have placed a call to some old friends and if we need an emergency evac the contact comm frequency is in the datapads with all other information I've managed to gather on this mission.  GEUSSWORK will also be on station to alert us to troop movements incase we get into too much trouble to keep our cover or the criminals come after us in large numbers.  Most every member of this squad has some knowladge of how police units operate in general due to thier backgrounds.  We'll be drilling on some of the finer points.  Report to the training facility in one hour.  You have until we depart for our mission to gather what equipment you will.  The schedualed departure for our mission is tommorrow at 18:00 hours.  I know this isn't much time but it won't take much for me to instruct you all on what you need to know to pass yourselves off as deputies.  Dismissed."  Kuroishi said as he handed out datapads.

Kuroishi arraived at the training center and began to organize what few things he would need to get everyone proficiant enough with law enforcement procedures and tactics to help them pull off the cover they were assigned.

Kuroishi knew he would have to go over room clearing techniques, application of force, and most importantly team work.

Kuroishi watched as the squad fell in.

"All right the first thing we need to go over is a few of the basics of police team work and application of force.  We can't be lone guns to the extreme.  No matter what police always call for back up before doing anything to an entrenched criminal.  Normally our mission parameters require us to split up and operate alone.  This doctrine will be fine until we locate a target.  Next thing I want you all to drill into your heads is that the stun setting on your blaster is your best friend.  Police very rarely use the kill setting, they want to bring thier prisoners back for trial.  Since we also have to bring our prisoners back alive it may prove very useful in aquisition.  As special operations troops we very rarely have to clear rooms as a team and that will be the focus of our training in this facility.  Everything else, including the memorization of legal codes can be done en route.  Let's get ready.  Argon you'll be our observor that will watch the target from a neighboring building if they are foolish enough to be in a room where we can observe them.  You will also provide our sniper asset.  Raziel, your expertise designate you as our point man.  Your job is to spot ambushes, breach doors using stealth when neccessary, and you will be the first in the door of a room.  I'll be second.  My jobs will be to use demolishion charges to breach doors when time is of the essence and be second through the door of a room.  Lukas Yuy, you will be third.  You have only one job which will be covered when we start practicing how to actually clear the room.  Dragoon you will be the last in the stacked formation.  You will be responsible for making sure that while we are clearing a room that no one comes down the hallway to attack us from behind.  Allright let's fall into formation."  Kuroishi barked even before the squad had a chance to settle in.

[OOC:  Map and diagram time for those who haven't watched as much educational TV as I have.  I love 'Conquest' and the History Channel right about now.  I feel like I'm forgeting someone.  I won't swear this is absolutely accurate either.  /OOC]

[OOC: Yeah, Conquest is a great show, unfortunately without cable or a TV you can't get it    Ah well, I'll figure something out eventually]

Argon looked at the map, it seemed pretty straightforward.

"Hey Dai," he said, still not used to the differentiation between Kuroishi and his otherself, and was rewarded with a wince, "I mean Kuroishi, where are the windows on this building.  Where am I likely to see someone?"

Lukas looked at the map with a concentrated look.

He looked it over very good and heard Kuroishi's voice and well into order without talking.

Lukas looked it over once more and then listened up for more orders to follow.

    Raziel was busy doing some extra stitching on his uniform. He had a look on his face that suggested unpleasantness to anyone who tried to make a joke of it.
    He looked down at his hold-out blaster pistols and shrugged. There was only one energy weapon he was really experienced with and that was a hold-out. Neither his Quickfire 4, penetrator or the B22 in his boot had stun settings.
    He had alwasy trusted Merr-sonn's weapons and so for this reason he had purchased a "Deak Sweeper" the compact rifle had a short range, but was very accurate and powerful. The main reason he had bought it was because it only stunned its targets, but it did it very efficiently.
    He had replaced his Quickfire 4's with Defender 12's. The latter only carried enough charge for 2 shots, but they shot had a wide cone of fire and stunned. He was busy adjusted his sleeve gun mounts so that with a flick of his wrist he could have 2 of the palmguns in his hands.
    He had then proceeded to hide the B22 in his new right boot. He also kept the usual array of knives and of course cheese wire hidden in his hair. Most of the rest of his lethal weapons he had left behind.

(ooc: dont want to give away too much about Raziel's weaponry as it will come up in the story.)

    Raziel went to the firing range and tried out the belt holster he made for the "Deck Sweeper" He then practised drawing it and aiming for the chest of a target. A headshot wasnt necessary with a stun setting. Once he was satisfied he made sure that the sleeve mounted defender's worked.
    His recent trip to Nar Shaddaa had brought back all the old skills which had gone rusty as squad leader. He smiled looking at himself in the mirror, proud of what he had become.
    In an instant his black combat knives were in his hands and he swept for an invisible targets throat.

It had been nearly four years since Kuroishi was last an MP.  He knew that his squad needed much training to be law enforcemnt personel but they didn't have the time nor was it entirely neccessary for thier cover for this mission.

The few hours they had were mostly building the trust needed to clear rooms according to procedure.  Wraith rarely worked as a single cohesive unit before, always depending on stealth and terror to achieve it's aims.  This meant the members were often isolated.

Now the five man squad would be underway to it's mission within a few hours and then the real fun would begin.

[OOC:  Allrighty folks I hope that you all are somewhat familiar with everything neccessary.  I'll be getting the real action underway tommorrow.  /OOC]

Argon looked over the large weapons collection he had both from his days in the POD and more recently from the Imperial Virgil Enterprises.

Since this was obviously not a terrorist mission, he instantly packed away all of the weaponry from the POD days and looked for something appropriate from the store.

First he packed up his 500 Squad Repeating Riot Gun.  It was actually meant to be a squad weapon, but a Whiphid had no trouble operating one of those things by himself.

Then, deciding he wanted to have some serious firepower if it became necessary, he picked up his FC1 Flechette Launcher, something which would allow him to sweep passageways with ease.

For added firepower, he packed his MM9 Rocket System (wrist mounted), and his Model RLW-77 Wrist Lasers.  These would give him some firepower he could easily conceal.

To give him added stun and capturing power, he packed his Spore/B and WW-41 Cryoban Grenades, both of which would easily set enemies up for capture.

Just in case sniping was actually necessary, he added his Whisper Subsonic Slugthrower Sniper Rifle.

Finally, to cover the cases of melee combat, he packed his Rykk Blade.  Now he felt ready for pretty much anything that could come up short of high explosives use (and he could always make those on the spot).

He silenty thanked General Fury for heavily backing the store and making sure it had such wide selection and headed out, the mission was about to start.

Lukas walked out of the briefing room and down the corridors to his quarters.

When he walked in he closed the door behind him.

After he hand done this he walked over to his bed and grabbed his squad uniform and a pack to carry his weapons in.

Lukas walked over to his closet and grabbed his Silenced Sniper rifle with an intesified scope and laser sight if needed.

He also grabbed his side arm weapon which was a 9 MM silenced pistol.

Lukas put them both in there gun cases and walked over to his desk and pulled out some explosive charges and a detonation device.

He then set the explosives on his bed and grabbed some Flash grenades as well as smoke grenades and put them into his belt pack.

He also grabbed some small,round,metallic balls and stuffed them into his belt carefully as well.

The last thing Lukas grabbed was his wrist watch.

After all this he checked his gear over twice, as well as read the briefing pad over and then headed out towards were they were all suppose to meet.

[OOC:  Well here it gets going.  I'm suffering from serious brain drain but hopefully I can keep everything in line and going at a reasonable pace.  /OOC]

Kuroishi stuffed one large duffle bag with rations.  His recent expieriences had taught him food was scarcer then ammo when it came time for foraging and raiding.

In the other he tossed the Sector Ranger Special Enforcement Officer uniform,  two carbine blasters, two DL-44 heavy blaster pistols, ten bricks of 1kg C-8 door openers, two E-11/M blaster rifles, and as many blaster packs as he could fit in the bag.

Kuroishi marched to the hanger facilities with time to spare.

Kuroishi stowed his gear and began preflight checks on the two craft to be thier transportation and if neccessary scouts for this mission.

Of the two Robert Lee's Daishi had become the better pilot but Kuroishi was still more then qualified to fly either of the craft provided for this mission.

Argon Viper was also a qualified pilot and if need be could provide air support instead of a sniper asset.

All that was left was for Kuroishi to wait for the rest of the squad and the delivery of the datacards for the next bit of detail that needed going over.

[OOC:  I'll just go over it this way and rather gloss over transit unless anyone has an objection.

14-40: Need back up.
14-50: Target sighted.
14-60: Target unaware of presance.
14-65: Target aware of presance.
Tango-Tango-Tango:  All three subjects sighted at same location.
10-20: Location querry.
SNAFU: Target entrenched.

That should cover what we don't want to say in the open.  Laters.  /OOC]

[OOC:  Time to finish this.  Hurray half baked plans!  /OOC]

As soon as Kuroishi stepped into the spaceport terminal he couldn't beleive his eyes.

Wraith missions were never supposed to be this easy.

All that training and preperation down the tubes in no less then a minute after touchdown.

All three targets were greating what looked like some sort of important represenative coming off a different ship.

"FREEZE!"  Kuroishi redundantly said as he snaped his blaster into hand and fire stun bolts into the three targets.

Kuroishi motioned for his squad to follow him in.

"These men are under arrest by the authority of the Sector Rangers."  Kuroishi cut off the dignitary before he could ask annoying questions.

Packing thier prisoners back top thier ship they knew the trip home would be a bit more interesting than the trip here.

Kuroishi felt like a fool wasting all that time on now needless training.

Win some loose some.

(ooc: those plans dont seem to have anything to do with this story though. I dont want to stop it now as that would be a terrible waste of Fury's time and would p*** me off)

It was true that their flight was interesting, however it definately didn't last as long as Kuroishi probably had hoped.

    Raziel looked back into the hangar as the Mu2 shuttle slowly rose vertically and turned towards the bay doors. Just as the door hissed shut he got a glimpse of three uniformed men walk out of the shadows and approach the dignitary.
Turned back to the shuttle and leaned against the speaker in the wall. Thumbing the on switch he said:
    "Kuroishi, might want to get back as soon as possible. I don't think they were alone just then."
    "I'll see what i can do," he replied from the cockpit. Raziel almost fell as he engaged the forward thrusters.
    Argon starred in disbelief from the pathfinder he was just landing in the same bay.
    "Mission complete targets aquired." Kuroishi sent in a message to him.
    "Err..."was the only reply.

    The Mu2 shuttle rose lazily towards the sky, it started to arc upwards and Kuroishi pushed it to it's limits as it struggle to break free from Nalbrice's gravity.
Suddenly it seemed like everyone of Kuroishi's instruments lit up.
    "Erm, what does that noise mean?" Raziel asked from the passenger compartment.
    "S*** is what that means."
    "Looks like this could be interesting!" Raziel smiled, looking at their three prisoners who were beginning to wake up. Kuroishi must have used a particularly low power.

    Ion blasts rippled through the atmosphere coming up to meet the shuttle at remarkable speeds. The shuttle twisted and turned in a effort to avoid them. Slowly the shuttle began to lose vertical speed.
    "Cant do this for much longer," Kuroishi mumbled.
Then another load of lights started flashing.
    "Oh dear"
    Something small and exceedingly fast shot up from the planet below. It arced towards them leaving a trail of red plasma behind it. The Shuttle was already dropping at enourmous speeds. Raziel was holding on his chair with all of his strength and clenchin his teeth as it felt like his stomach was about to escape.
    The torpedo was already changing direction though and there was no way it would be evaded by such a sluggish shuttle. The impact pushed Raziel down hard into it's seat as the missile ripped through the sensor arrays and cut through thousands of important connections. The fact that the shuttle was still in one piece led to the conclusion that it had been a low yield torpedo.

    "Ok hold on, i can't keep this thing up much longer. I'm going to see where i can put down." Kuroishi's voice filled the loading compartment where Raziel was strapped in. Raziel slowly undid his belt and moved ever so slowly towards the cockpit. He was confident the 3 prisoners wouldnt managed to escape their holding cell and run away.
    He lept onto the seat next to Kuroishi and tied himself down before the shuttle could lurch again.
    "The torpedo and ion cannon were fired from the jungle on the west side of Branine, i'm going to try and put us down on the east. That should give us enough time to get to the city and call for help," Miraculously Kuroishi was managing to pilot the rapidly descending shuttle and go through his plans out loud to Raziel.
    "How well do these things crash land?" Raziel asked. Gulping as the ground shot up to swallow them.
    "Couldnt say i've tried before. Damn i didn't expect that corporation to have any firepower around. I'd hold on tight."
As the shuttle plummeted towards the ground Kuroishi pulled up the nose and fired what remained of the vertical thrusters. The speed was transfered into height and the shuttle was left a few hundred metres above ground going dangerously slowly. It carried on drifting lazily, but slowly fell towards the ground. Kuroishi started to cirlce as he looked for somewhere to put down.
    "That pretty much burnt out the vertical thrusters, this'll be nasty."
    Kuroishi kept the nose fairly high as the shuttle crashed into the fairly sparse jungle, Raziel crossed his fingers and hoped they wouldnt hit any trees, some of them had seemed pretty gigantic from above.
    They were thrown about within their seats as the shuttle broke through vines and other foliage. Then suddenly everyone was thrown forward and most lost conciousness as it hit the ground.


    Raziel was up first, quick as a flash. He rushed outside as everyone started to get up and lightly hopped up to the top of the shuttle and took a look at the damage. He cocked his head to one side and turned it ever so slightly from side to side. He knelt down, putting one hand on the hot metal surface of the shuttle and peered into the jungle. It was late evening here and darkness was beginning to fall, visibility was exceedingly poor even in the sparse foliage close to the city.
    He rapped on the roof of the shuttle with his fist three times.
    "Come in?" Kuroishi shouted from inside.
    "Very funny, we've got company." Almost immediately Lukas and Kuroishi were struggling to pull themselves up to the roof.
    "What is it?" Kuroishi asked, looking around.
    "A group of men, maybe twenty or so. Coming up behind us, armed." Kuroishi took a peek behind him and then looked back to Raziel.
    "Where?"
    "You'll see them soon enough," Raziel said
"I would get the biggest guns we have and bring them out. They're probably another gang who think it's their lucky day."
    "How far are we from the city?" Lukas asked
    "About a mile, though it will seem like a lot more from here. I say we try and make it tonight. If we wait longer the corperation will send someone to see what happened."
    "Comms?" Raziel asked.
    "Long range is down, i'll try and get a hold of argon though." Kuroishi was climbing down to the shuttle doors.
"Lukas take cover under the nose of the shuttle, I'll fire from the doors. Raziel do you think you can get behind them?" Raziel nodded. Kuroishi had to do a double take because one second his hands were empty and the next he had a palm gun in each.

    The gang didnt waste any time. As they approached the shuttle Kuroishi realised that Raziel's estimates had been accurate. Twenty men were approaching the shuttle slowly, doing their best to keep in cover amongst the jungle. One of the raised a projectile rifle and emptied a magazine at the shuttle. Kuroishi realised they must have come close to Lukas who was hidden underneath the nose of the crashed shuttle. The gang suddenly all raised their weapons and fired, charging at the shuttle, they obviously weren't interested in prisoners.
    Kuroishi and Lukas suddenly opened up ripping the first few men apart. With outstanding speed the remaining gang members dived for cover, they were obviously better at hiding than fighting. A hail of blaster bolts shook the shuttle, Lukas managed to pick another one off as he came up from behind a fallen tree. That made it only seventeen against two.

(ooc: there we go a good fight to start the day.)

Argon juked left as Kuroishi juked right under the sudden onslaught of ion cannons.

Diving for the ground seemed to be the best option, so he quickly took it, trying to distract the ion cannons from Kuroishi.

However, he was soon under their firing range, and the half that had been concentrating on him switched back to Kuroishi.

Skimming across the ground at treetop level, Argon proceeded to lay waste to an entire battery of ion cannons, prompting the others to cease fire or be targeted in turn.

Unfortunately, Kuroishi's shuttle was no longer gaining altitude, he was now losing it.

As if to worsen the situation, a torpedo rose out of the jungle to meet his falling craft, smashing into the rear of the ship and throwing it sideways.

Looking completely out of control, it spiralled down to crash into an expanse of jungle.

Argon noted that the crash point was as far away as possible from any noted enemies, showing that Kuroishi, at least, had still been alive to exert some control over the landing.

Argon ran a quick sensor scan over the area where the missle had come from.

Nothing, it must have been a shoulder launched warhead.

Not willing to risk another such attack, Argon quickly steered over to an area near where Kuroishi had managed to crash his ship.

Packing his gear, he headed off in the right direction, hoping to arrive before his enemies did.

The sounds of gunfire as he approached the crash site told him that he hadn't been entirely successful, but that at least one Wraith had survived the crash.

He moved to a nearby ridge, one that offered concealment, and set up his sniper rifle.

He felt a momentary pang at having neglected to bring any high explosives, but that went away as he began firing.

His first target never knew what hit him, the projectile sliced through his brain before he even knew he was in danger.

His second target remained equally ignorant, he had been in front of the first target and hadn't seen him die.

The third target had seen the first one die and looked around to see what the cause was.

Argon's sniper shot caught him in the chest, throwing him backwards and downwards hard enough to show that a sniper with good aim and a powerful weapon lurked in the area.

The fourth target took a shot just under the arm as he dove for cover, piercing his heart.

The fifth target died from a shot in the head, not having chosen cover from the correct direction.

The sixth target died from a "dead shot" directly between his eyes as Argon's InfraRed scope penetrated the thin vegetation he had been hiding behind to show a perfect heat signature.

And then they were all behind cover.

Cover from Argon that is.

In diving away from the sniper, they had opened themselves up to the other three Wraiths, who killed five of them before they realized their mistake and sought cover from both angles.

Two more died as their new cover proved insufficient to hide them from Argon, and now four remained, covered from both angles, but unable to attack.

The standoff continued for another minute before Argon saw a whisper of movement, so small no one but an experienced scout would have noticed it.

He almost shot it before he realized it was Raziel, making his way quietly to the hiding places the enemy had found.

The first man died silently as a knife slashed through the air to land in his throat.

Another minute later, the second man died just as silently as Raziel shot him between the eyes with a silenced pistol.

The two isolated soldiers had been killed, but the other two could see each other, and thus, could cover each other.

One of them, watching the other, saw only a blur before a knife buried itself in the man's chest.

The blur had come from behind the viewer, and as he turned to face the source, another knife caught him in the chest.

Argon remained still for another few minutes, making sure all the enemies had been dealt with before heading down to join the rest of the Wraiths.

"I was wondering when you'd show up," said Kuroishi with a grin.

"Well, you know, I had to see the sights while I'm here," replied Argon.

"What's the plan?" asked Raziel, walking up to them after having scouted the area.

"I'd say we need to take out that other ion cannon battery," said Argon, "if we can do that, we don't need to worry about those shoulder torps."

"Shoulder torps?" asked Lukas.

"Yeah," replied Argon, "that torpedo that hit you was shoulder launched.  It shouldn't be any danger if we can get the ion cannons.  Come on, let's move the prisoners over to my ship, this way."

"Right," said Kuroishi, "Argon take lead, Lukas and I will take the prisoners, Raz, you cover our backs.  Let's move people."

[OOC: I'm not sure who's in charge here, I can change that last part to be Raz if command has changed...]

(ooc: carry this on for another week and then we'll pause it for the new mission.)


    Raziel slinked along behind the squad, he felt particularly lonely right now. Kuroishi had advised radio silence. If whoever was after their prisoners caught their signal they could triangulate their position, even if they couldn't decode it. The squad did have several laser comminitcators, but they were really for use in the open.


    Raziel spotted another sign of the wraiths moving ahead of him. He was no tracker, but someone had fallen quite hard over the root infront of him. At times like this he was glad for his greatly superior night vision. The moon above Nalbrice was coated in some particularly interesting mineral that relected a great deal of light at the blue-ultra violet end of the spectrum. Not only did the bright blue featureless ball above them provide an unnatural feeling twighlight, but it also meant that anything white shone brightly.

    The sound grew very slowly, from just a faint murmur on the breeze, to the schreeching of flaring boosters. Raziel clicked his earpiece twice, sending out a very low amplitude signal to the squad ahead.
    He dove for cover against a nearby tree as the swoops passed by slowly above his head. In the darkness he could barely follow them with his eyes as their silhouetted shapes were hidden through the foliage above.
    He slowly started to climb the tree, getting closer and closer to the hovering bikes above.

    "They've found them, up ahead a hundred metres. The prisoners don't seem to be near so we're going to attack. Get back and inform their representative." Raziel overheard the first pilot talking to the second. They looked like guns for hire to him. Given the planets current situation it wouldnt suprise him in the slightest.
    He leant back into the curve of the branch he was standing on and shouldered his deck sweeper. He brought his face down and closed his dominant left eye. He lined up the sights as carefully as possible on the first pilot. Raziel wished he could shoot like Argon. He pulled the trigger and watched as the powerful stun blast hit the the talker square in the chest.
    The man instantly went limp, but he then fell to one side. He was strapped tightly to the bike and the whole thing rotated 180 and fell like a stone towards the ground. Raziel might as well have shot him dead.
    The messanger was already moving however, and accelerating rapidly. It just so happened that he was moving towards Raziel.

    His nerve gone the messanger was more than happy to get back to his employer. His fingers were shaking so badly he almost missed the forward thrust lever.
    Just as he began to feel safe that no second shot was coming and he was almost reaching a safe speed, something small and black shot out from the trees and smashed into him. Raziel landed on the rear of the bike and it fishtailed out to one side and began to lose altitude. The pilot turned into the slide and had the bike moving in a straight line again, but the bike was still losing altitude.
    Raziel regained his balance and scrambled up to the front of the bike in a flash. The seventeen year old pilotting the bike managed to cry: "Nooo!" Before Raziel fired his penetrator pistol at point blank range into his face.
    Raziel tugged at the dead pilot in an effort to gain control of the bike, not that he knew how to fly one. But the boy was strapped in too securely for him to be thrown off.
    "Damn" Raziel groaned.

    The last thing he saw before the bike crashed into the tree tops was a squad of swoops doing a pass over an area of jungle up ahead and dropping what looked like grenades into it. Return fire shot up from what must have been the wraiths hidden under forty feet of jungle, but the swoops were moving too fast.

[OOC: I thought we were taking the prisoners, but whatever works  ]

Argon looked behind him as he saw a swoop fly out of the forest, seemingly out of control and then dive back in.

On his way to the crash site, he saw Kuroishi and Lukas.

"Stay here," he said, "I'm gonna check that out.  If I'm not back or in contact in five minutes, high tail it for the shuttle."

That said, he headed off to where the swoop, with someone who had looked suspiciously like Raziel, had crashed.
