Afyon holstered his pistol and screwed the large silencer onto his A-280.  The three then climbed out from under the stairwell and made their way to the corner that turned down the hall to the door.  Kami quickly ran across to the other side so that they could better cover the hall.  They heard no response from the other end so the three made their way into the hallway slowly.  At the far end, there were two rebels standing talking to each other.  Obviously they were trying to figure out what was happening and figured they were safe down here.  They were quite wrong.  Afyon brought the rifle up and aimed and the rebel on the left.  He and Sam fired simultaneously, completely demolishing the head of the rebel.  A split second later, Kami fired a burst at the other rebel sending him flying back against the door before falling to the floor dead.

The three ran down the hall way to the doors.  They each took out a grenade and got ready to lob them inside once the doors openned.  Afyon took a deep breath and then pushed the button.  The two door pulled apart slowly, giving the Dragoons enough time to pull the pins and throw the grenades inside.  They ran back from the doorway and got into firing positions just as the grenades went off.  The explosion rang in Afyon's ears and the building seemed to shake a bit from the explosions.  The three each fired a burst inside then ran in.  Afyon gunned down two dazed rebels standing near the doors while the other two Dragoons lept over the rail of a small set of stairs and landed at the bottom.  Afyon fired several shots from up top, nailing two rebels who were quick to respond to Kami and Sam.  Kami and Sam managed to pick off five more as they ran down from the guns to find shelter and weapons.

"Spread out and find any hiding."  Afyon ordered.  "I'll cover the door and you from up to-"  He was cut off by a blaster bolt that just missed his head.  Afyon turned and gunned down a rebel who was running out from behind a crate of projectile shells.  He turned and hit another rebel who had climbed up a ladder leading up to an observation spot.  He could here several muffled shots coming from the two Dragoons below as they quickly eliminated the rebel threat in the area.  Afyon dragged the two dead rebels inside the gunroom and shut the door.  "Alright get those explosives in place!"  He ordered as he ran down the steps to help.

Angel held up a single fist to stop his fireteam. Motioning to the door on his left, Angel whispered to JR and Lukas to enter.

He followed them in, IR-5s drawn. Nothing came through the Force, a fact which disturbed him greatly. He could feel very little life in the base.

"Where is everyone?" Lukas asked, obviously as confused as FA was.

"I don't know..." Angel replied, his voice trailing off... "But I do know that I don't like it one bit..."

"What do you want to do boss?" JR asked, hands clenching his twin hatchets.

Pondering for a brief minute Angel formulated a plan. "Lukas, you have more special ops experience than the rest of us. I want you to take this comlink, its set to the secure frequency, go back the way we came and see if you cant find a security station or something with access to security cams. Then I want you to exit the base and set up sniper cover for the Gold team opposite their position." ANgel handed Lukas the comlink.

Angel finished, "Radio in if you find out what's up."

"Roger that, what are you two going to do?" Lukas asked, pulling a black mask over his face.

"Make a mess." Angel replied, wicked smile forming on his face. Producing his saber from his hop belt he added, "And give them something to fear. Now get a move on."

Angel watched as Lukas retreated into the shadows and disappeared. Sure is an asset to have a special ops person in the squad, especially one as experienced as Lukas. Angel thought to himself.

Igniting his saber, Angel drew on his own black mask and said to JR, "It's time to make some noise..."

The squad quickly made their way down the length of the vent.  Behind them, the area they had just been in finall gave way and crashed down to the ground.  One rebel shrieked as the burning rubble fell on him.  The rebels instantly realized the Dragoons had moved on and shifted their fire towards the area where they were now moving.

"Quickly."  Afyon whispered.  Suddenly, gunfire started pounding the vent they were in.  Afyon looked over Kami and saw that they were almost inside the next room.  Just a few more meters.  Behind Sam, the vent began to give way under the fierece pounding from the blasters.  Just as the squad made it into the next room, the vent behind them gave way and crashed down on top of the guns.

"Sithspit!  That almost hit some of the explosives!"  Kami exclaimed as she reached a grate that looked down inside the room.  "Down here Sarge?"  She asked.

"Yes, climb down, then we'll have to make a run for it, the rebels are going to know we left the room and will be here any moment."  Afyon replied.  The three quickly dropped out of the grate onto the table.  Afyon pulled out his comlink and ordered Rema's team to meet them at the turbolift Afyon's team had used.  They were probably going to need backup as the rebels weren't as battered up as the Dragoons and could most likely outrun them eventually.  The three ran outside the room and dashed down the hall.  Behind them, there were shouts and then shots began flying all around them.  Afyon hid behind the frame of a blaster door, set his rifle to automatic, and fired a long burst down the hall in response.  Kami pressed in tight beside him while Sam grabbed the other side.  Afyon signalled over to Sam for a grenade.  Sam pulled out his last one and when Afyon gave the signal, he threw it down the hall as hard as he could.  Running footsteps could be heard and then the loud explosion of the concussion grenade.  The squad each fired another burst down the hall and the raced around the corner and began to climb the stairs.

Kami reached the top of the stairs first and quickly ran to the hallway to check for rebels.  There were none at the other end of the hall...yet.  She gave the all clear signal and Sam and Afyon ran over to cover her.  As Kami made her way to check the first open door, Afyon heard shouts and footsteps from below.  He waved them back over to the stairs and the three crouched down against the wall that served as a railing.  Afyon and Sam were on one side of the stairs, Kami was an on the other.  A moment later, they heard several footsteps pounding up the stairs.

The rebels reached the top of the stairs quickly and ran down the hall towards the lift.  Once the last one ran by, Afyon made the signal and the three Dragoons jumped up and unleased a barrage at the running rebels.  The gunfire obviously caught them by surprise and some managed to swing around before getting riddled by the automatic fire from the Dragoon's weapons.  Afyon ejected the clip from his rifle and began reloading his.  Kami and Sam followed suit.  He looked down at his belt and noticed he had just put in his last clip.  He was going to have to be careful with the ammunition.  He did have two more clips for his pistol, however.  Afyon slung his rifle over his shoulder and looked down the stairs.  It didn't look as though anymore rebels were going to be coming up.

Afyon turned and wave the team into the hall.  Kami and Sam quickly made their way down, checking all of the open doors for hiding rebels, finding none.  Just as Afyon left his guard at the stairs to head to the turbolift, he caught a motion out of the corner of his eye and hit the ground, several shots flew by right where he had been standing a split second earlier.  Afyon brought his rifle around and fired a burst where the shots had come from and then rolled against the wall as another burst came, this time coming dangerously close to his position.  He could here footsteps running down the hall towards his position as he threw his final grenade toward the enemy position.  This situation was quickly getting out of hand.

Argon stepped off the transport on Coruscant.

It had been over a decade since he'd last visited the capital, back when it was Imperial hands, and he was simply another Whiphid hunter.

Glowering menacingly at the guards, he waited as Fish handed over their identification cards, marking them as members of the New Republic security forces, being brought in to help protect the Senate Hall from new security threats.

The guards rushed them through, the Republic hadn't been taking the threat of infiltration seriously for months, ever since the Imperial forces had been pushed back beyond what the Republic considered the "safe-line".

However, they were now taking conventional force seriously, since the Vast Empire had been reaching steadily toward this capital planet.

Having checked their ID cards, procured by GUESSWORK, the guards waved them on, and they were suddenly free in the planet that was a city.

With any luck, Anubis and Kuroishi would make it to their designated site, and then they could start figuring out how to help the VE in this conquest...

After making several stops, Anubis and Kuroishi finally made it to where they needed to be taken.  They were at the middle levels of Coruscant, in an entertainment district of Imperial/Republic City.  The cantina they were to meet at was a haven for all sorts, from death-stick dealers, to gamblers, and even to the occassional Hutt gangster.

'The Sleepy Hutt' was the name of the cantina the Wraiths were meeting at, and as Anubis went in, Kuroishi went around to make sure New Republic security wasn't in the area.

After several minutes, and a few drinks, Kuroishi arrived at the table where Anubis figured would be a good spot for them to plan.  They'd probably rent out an apartment in the lower city, where they could easily hide from NR authorities, but then again that might be what they think.

Every couple of minutes Anubis would look around for a Whiphid and Methane Breather, a somewhat odd couple, but then again Coruscant itself was odd.  After about a standard hour of waiting, Anubis decided to get up and go look outside the cantina to see if he could find them.

As he looked through the sets of crowds, he found it hard to find Argon and Fish.  He'd see a Methane Breather here or there, but still no Whiphids.  Out of the corner of his eye he saw something, there was a figure on top of one of the buildings, looking down on the crowd.

"Hey Anubis" Anubis suddenly heard the Whiphid voice and knew who it was.  He went to greet his companions, and the group went towards the entrance to see their SL.  Anubis took one last glance as to where he saw the dark figure, and saw that he was gone.  'Oh man, that's it, from now on I'm sticking to juice.'  And he walked back into the cantina.

The four Dragoons raced through the battlefield, making a desperate attempt to avoid the spotlights. Zafo felt as if his legs would give way at any time. A spray of fire came from some trees in front of the Dragoons, causing them all to dive to the ground. Zafo fired a dozen or so random shots in the general direction of their attackers. Zafo watched as he saw something flying threw the air towards their position.

"Grenade!!" Zafo shouted as he got up to dive out of the way.

The grenade hit the ground not to far from Zafo's position. He started to run towards a rock for cover but was not fast enough. Zafo felt the heat before he heard the boom explode in his eardrums. His feet left the air as he was thrown directly towards the rock he had been seeking for cover. An immense pain took over his whole left portion of his body as he grasped on to the rock for support as he brought himself to his feet. Zafo looked over to where he was standing before he was nearly disintegrated. Smoke was still coming out of the huge hole the grenade had left. Zafo peered across and saw his three squad mates, still in the process of opposing the threat in the trees. As far as he could tell, none of them got injured by the explosion. Zafo heard rustling coming up behind him. He crouched down into some shrubbery to avoid detection. A squad of rebels rushed passed and made their way into the forest to help the squad which had been nearly wiped out by the Dragoons. Zafo, keeping low, took a detour and managed to get behind the rebels.

Zafo made sure he had them all in sight and unleashed a wave of energy at the rebels who were trying to kill him and the rest of his squad. The first four he took down without problem. Sending multiple bullets to their chest. Zafo was surprised at how quickly the rest of the rebels responded to his sneak attack. Almost immediately after the third rebel hit the ground, blaster fire came flying his way. He dove behind a tree for cover.

Zafo took his last two grenades off his belt, one in each hand. He pressed his back against the tree and took a deep breath. He brought both grenades to his mouth, and in a swift motion, pulled the pins out of both with his teeth and lobbed them backwards, without exposing himself to the rebels. As soon as he heard the bang, Zafo leaped out from behind the tree and gunned down the remaining three rebels.

"Coast is clear!" Zafo shouted from the forest to the rest of the other three Dragoons.

They quickly sprinted across the remainder of the spotlight patrolled field and into the dark cover of the forest.

"Way to sneak-attack Zaf!" Kami shouted as she ran over, giving him multiple pats on the back.

"You can thank me later" Zafo replied "We gotta get the hell outta here before more rebels come!"

With that, the four Dragoons charged through the forest, with only one thing in mind...
Making it back to camp in one piece.

FA began to plant bombs and explosives in the air scrubber room, while JR kept watch.  Still holding his twin hatchets so that there was no sound when he killed, he stood in eager anticipation for any unfortunate rebels to wonder down the hall.  It didnt take long until one came.  Watching him swagger, JR knew that he must've just been on a break, and had a bit too much to drink.  Waiting for the rebel to pass JR used to same technique as before as he put the first hatchet into the rebels back breaking his spine and preventing him from screaming and with the second hatchet lopped off his head in one quick motion. 

Looking behind him JR saw that FA was finished.  "Where to now boss." JR asked.

"Now," replied FA holding up some more explosives with a smile, "We head for the generators."

After FA and JR left the room JR turned around and worked with the lokcing mechanism. Testing the door and seeing that it didnt budge the two RAIDERS headed for the generators.

"Before you judge someone you should walk a mile in their shoes cuz then ur a mile away from them and you have their shoes."

Afyon waited an agonizingly long ten seconds as the rebel farthest to the right of the patrol slowly passed his position.  From Afyon's estimation, there was about twenty meters between rebels, they were conducting quite an expanded search for the Dragoons.  Afyon quietly took in a deep breath and then as quickly as he could, he got to his feet and tackled the rebel from behind, putting his left hand over the rebel's mouth and stabbed his knife down hard into the back of his neck.  The rebel struggled for a few seconds then went limp.  Fortunately, the blaring sounds of the alarms could be heard out here and it covered up the noise made when the two men fell to the ground.  Afyon pulled his blade out from the rebel's neck and wiped off both sides quickly on the vegetation beneath him.  He slid the knife into its sheath on the back of his belt and pulled his pistol out.  He had seven shots left in this clip and he had one more.

Afyon stood up and quietly made his way behind the rebel patrol and towards the cliff where the squad had been rallying.  He managed to reach the rope a second before Rema came crashing through the forest towards them.  Down below, Afyon could see the Dragoons had begun to climb down the rope towards the boat which was rocking in the very choppy water.  Afyon swung his rifle around and kept watch over the rope as he waited for the rest of the Dragoons.  He glanced at his watch, it would be light in two hours giving them barely enough time to reach the cave before dawn.  Afyon was hoping he'd be able to watch the sunrise again from the hill he had slept on the night before.  Afyon glanced back out over the forest.  Still no sign of some of the squad, Afyon was tempted to break radio silence and call them but if they were hiding from the patrols, they'd be spotted if they spoke over the commlinks.

Out of the corner of his eye, Afyon noticed a group of three rebels looking very interrested in an area of trees about forty meters from where he was crouching.  They had their backs to Afyon and were shining lights over a cluster of trees in the forested area.  Afyon brought his rifle up and aimed at the first of the three rebels.  He tapped the trigger twice and then fired two more shots at each of the next two.  Unfortunately, he missed the headof the last one and the rebel let out a horrific shriek as he fell with a shot in the crouch.  "Dammit"  Afyon whispered as he stood up and ran towards the fallen rebel.  Before he got there, however, a muffled shot fired and the rebel stopped screaming.  Afyon ran back to his spot and waited for the Dragoon to come.  Odds are the rebels wouldn't be far behind, he was positive many would have heard that scream.

The squad of Wraiths continued their conversation for a few more minutes before deciding to exit the bar. 

The group ultimately left walked down the street they were on, crowds of people often seperating them by a few meters.  After walking about 2 km, Argon found a planetary map, and signalled for the others to wait while he went to go check for a place.

After a few minutes, Argon came back over to the group.  "Well, we've got two choices, there's a pretty cheap place about two blocks from here, but it's near one of the NR compounds here in the mid-city."  He said, waiting for the others to collect what he said.

"And the other choice?"  Kuroishi asked him.

"Well, the other choice is a bit more hefty in the price range, however it is in a much less guarded place."

After some time, Kuroishi finally agreed on the second choice, and the group went to hail a taxi.  The apartment was part of a group of towers about 1000 km from the Imperial Palace.  The apartment was a grand place, with 3 bedrooms and a full set of accessories that would be usefull to the Wraiths.  Of course, this brought up the question of money.

"Well, someone is going to have to get a job, while the rest of us do the dirty work."

The group looked around at each other, trying to find someone would do it, or who they could send out to do it.  After about a minute, and some pleading stares, Anubis decided to stand up and offer to go looking for a job.

'Well, at least this may be a bit more relaxing than the last mission, for the first part anyway.'  Anubis told himself as he went to the Data terminal to begin searching for a job that would provide enough income for the group to last for at least a month, if not longer.

Afyon hit the sand a couple seconds after Zafo.  He could see the rest of the Dragoons were in the boat ready to head off.  Rema was manning the boats gun and the rest of the squad and their rifles ready to fire at any rebels who may poke their heads over the cliff.  Afyon lept over the water between the sand and the boat and grabbed his sniper rifle from its spot near the ammunition crates.  He held the rifle under one arm and pulled out the remote trigger for the explosives.  A split second after he pressed it, a loud explosion seemed to rock the cliff as the rebel guns and the ammunition exploded, created a massive fireball that could be seen well into the night.  Tk went to the pilot's spot and started the engine.  A few seconds later they were off.  Kami had her sniper rifle out as well and Zafo had taken the missile launcher.  If the rebels so much as looked at them they would be dead before they ever knew what hit them.  The boat bounced off the choppy waters as Tk increased the power to move them away from the island as quickly as possible.  The boat rocked and shuddered, and some of the waves crashed over top as they made their way out to the middle of the waterway and away from the rocks where the waves were crashing.  Afyon scanned the ridge carefully through his scope, not a rebel to be seen.

Just as they thought they were safe, Sam pointed over to the rebel island.  Through his nightvision binoculars, he had spotted a pair of rebel attack boats racing towards the Dragoons.  These were much faster than the troop transports which had landed on their island the day before.  Rema swung the boat's gun around the squad got into position to fire the second the boats were in range.  Zafo dragged a case of ammunition for the missile launcher over to where his position was.  They were going to need the missiles to knock out these boats.  Afyon zoomed the scope in on one of the boats and noticed that unlike the troop transports, the pilot was protected in a wheel house about a third of the way down the ship.

"Zafo aim for the wheel house!"  Afyon shouted as he scanned for other possible targets.  The rebel boats were quickly approaching, once they were in range of the rifle's, Afyon and Kami began firing at what few rebels were visible on the ship.  These boats were well closed in and left few targets for the Dragoon's to hit.  Afyon managed to pick off one of the gunners as their gun rotated enough to provied a small line to the operator.  The boat rocked as Zafo fired his first missile towards the lead attack boat.  The missile grazed the front of the ship and exploded midway down, blowing a small hole in its side just above the water.  The rebels responded by unleashing a barrage from their heavy guns.

"They're too fast for us, Tk head for that island to your left, we need to bring them close to the rocks!"  Afyon shouted before he shot another rebel gunner in the throat.  Zafo's second missile smashed into the mass of antenneas and the radar dish on top of the wheelhouse.  Rema meanwhile and begun returning fire with the boat's gun.  One burst struck the front gun of the lead boat.  It exploded a second later as the barrel had been damaged enough and caused it to backfire as the gunner pulled the trigger.  The second rebel boat had begun wild evasion as Kami had managed to not only kill the front gunners but also hit a small open ammnunition crate sparking a small explosion and fire at the front of the ship.

Anubis went into the store that was inbetween mid-level and upper-level Coruscant.  The place was a droid repair shop that was looking for someone with experience in droid motivators.

Anubis had some experience in this from his past, so felt this may be a job he could do.  The manager was an old rodian, rounded with fat and his green skin was beginning to change into a more grayish hue.

"Welcome to Morco's Droids and Repair, I'm Morco."  The fat rodian welcomed Anubis in basic.

"Thank you, I hope I can be of service to you."  Anubis gave an honorary bow to Morco, and the rodian led them into a back room.

There was an old protocol droid, at least 50 years old, sitting on a bench, almost begging to be repaired even though it was deactivated for the time being.  "I want you to try and fix this old droid's motivator.  I've tried all I can with it, but the darn thing is more busted than it is operational.  If you can fix it, you've got the job."  The rodian left Anubis to observe the pile of metal that classified as a droid.

Anubis decided the first thing he should do is activate it to see if the droid itself could assist in any way.  After searching for about a minute for the power up switch, Anubis found it behind the droid's neck and activated it.

A chatter of droid language came out for a few seconds before the droid finally went back into its normal mode.  "Hello, I am XDP-209, how may I be of assistance to you sir."  The droid had a feminine personality set, and Anubis went to work asking the droid questions on its problems.

Apparently, the droid was working fine for Morco, acting as translator between him and really foreign customers whose languages he hadn't mastered yet.  Then one day, XDP was hit by a speeder as she went about to the hardware store a few blocks away to obtain a hydrospanner for her master.

After about 3 hours of intensive searching, removing plating, rewiring, adding parts, and replacing plating, the droid was finally able to move.  "Thank you sir, I am very gracious for your assistance, my master will be very pleased with you."

Anubis and XDP left the room they were in and went to the main shop.  Seeing his droid in full working order, Morco was overjoyed with happiness.  "You have the job!  Here's 1000 credits for repairing my droid.  When you come in tomorrow, I'll be sure to have a few jobs for you."

Anubis was happy, they had enough credits now to sustain them for the day, as well as a little extra.  Anubis decided to make his way to a small cantina before heading back to the apartment.  This time he remembered his creed to stay away from the alcohol, and went with a Cor-Soda, the drink Corellians prefer 3-1 over Selo-Pop.

And as Anubis took a seat at the bar, drinking his drink, he couldn't help but feel something bad was going to happen, something that could bring up more of the past that he so dreaded.

Regardless of the heavy toll the rebel ships had taken, they kept on speeding towards the Dragoons, firing like there was no more tomorrow. Ironically, that would be the case, they would have no tomorrow. The Ship banked slightly to the left as TK brought it towards the island. The rebel ship followed, and due to their proximity to the rocky shore, they were forced to somewhat slow down. Unfortunately for the Dragoons, that didn't stop the rebels from releasing swarms of bullets at the fleeing ship. The ship pursuing the Dragoons fell back, and allowed the second, more damaged ship to take the leave. Smoke was still coming from the fire Kami had set on deck by exploding some energy cells. The enemy boat was starting to accelerate do dangerous speeds. It was merely meters away from the tail of the Dragoon's ship. With a sudden boost of speed, the rebel craft rammed into the Dragoons. The whole ship shook from the collision. An ammo crate was thrown into the water, nearly followed by Sam, who managed to grab on to railing a moment before he toppled overboard. Once Sam regained balance, he ran around the ship with Kami and Ayfon, placing the crates in places where they could not easily fall in. Just as they placed the last crate a safe distance from the side, another violent quake shook the ship.

"That thing needs to be stopped!" Afyon shouted over the racket of the boat engines.
"Zafo, you're the one with the heavy weaponry, find some way to get it rid of it!"

Zafo thought for a moment before taking action. He ran to one side of the ship and aimed the launcher at its hull. When the ship was no more than 10 meters from the boat, Zafo let 3 missiles fly, all directed at the hull. The Dragoon's ship took a heavy swing to the right when the third missile was fired. The missiles hit the back, middle and front of the hull, in that order. The blast caused the enemy ship to be thrown against the cliff. At the speed they were going, there was nothing they could do about it. Sparks, flame and debris flew through the air from the spot where the rebel ship slammed into the cliff wall.

The squad cheered at the visual stunningness the explosion created. There problems were not over yet. The remaining speedboat sped up and began to ride alongside the Imperial Ship. Zafo dropped the missile launcher and picked up his E-11. Using the missile launcher this close would be suicidal. Popping out from his hiding place behind a crate, Zafo fired 3 shots at the chest of a trooper in the process of setting up an E-Web. Zafo pivoted on his heel and opened fire on another rebel, hitting him in the middle of his chest. The rebel fell to the ground in a pool of blood. Just before the rebel took his last breath, he raised his rifle and fired a shot at Zafo. In a desperate attempt to dodge the shot, Zafo dove over a nearby crate. His attempt came short and grazed his forearm, opening yet another wound on that side of his body. Pain raged through his entire arm and he dropped his blaster to the ground. After several moments of excruciating pain, Zafo managed to pick up his rifle and take cover behind the crates. Several seconds later Zafo poked his head up from his hiding spot and looked around. All the rebels on the ship seemed to be dead. All except the driver, who in one last desperate attempt to eliminate the Dragoons, began to ram them towards the cliff. The rebel ship was more powerful than the Dragoon's so with every ram, the Dragoon's ship drifted closer and closer towards the cliff.

Zafo quickly got an idea and formulated a plan in his mind. He waited for the right moment to come, and it did. Zafo ran to the edge of the ship, and right before the rebel rammed into them, Zafo made a leap from his ship to the rebel speedboat. He landed with boat feet on the ground then rolled over behind a barrel. Hopefully the rebel pilot had not seen him. Zafo got up and carefully made his way towards the control room door. Right as Zafo was about to enter, the two boats rammed, sending Zafo flying to the ground. Immediately Zafo got back up on his feet and kicked down the door to the control room. He whipped out his pistol and blasted the rebel right in the back of the neck, sending blood and brain matter all over the viewing glass. Zafo removed the rebels hat, and used it clean the window. When the window was clean, and the body cleared, Zafo pulled the speeder a safe distance away from the dragoons, who obviously didn't realise what had just happened, since they were still firing at the speedboat.

Zafo clicked open his comlink and shouted "You mind not firing at my boat?!"

Zafo received many transmissions of confused grunts. He strolled out of the control booth, out onto the deck and waved to the rest of his squad.

Kami picked up the box of cigars strewn across the desk, took a whiff and wrinkled her nose.
"Here Sammy." She chucked the box over to the Lance Corporal, "You much of a smoker?"
Sam grinned, "Not really, but you don't say no to free cigars."

Shaking her head, Kami went back to ruffling through the papers on the desk of the Rebel Captain's table, while the Captain himself fumed silently at her feet, blood seeping slowly from his forehead, which Kami had obligingly pummeled with her rifle.
"You keep a lot of paperwork Cap," Kami crouched down next to the Rebel and held up a file marked brightly with confidential stampings, "Bright move. Keeping these labeled for us."
Sam strode over, a cigar clenched between his teeth, "Look Kam."
He held up a display cabinet showing off a half a dozen or so medals, "We've got ourselves a keeper."
Kami raised an eyebrow at her captive, "You like shiny things Cap?"
Kami slammed her rifle into the Rebel's temple.

Rifling though the now unconscious Captain's pockets, Kami pulled out a clump of papers and held a plastic card up to the still glowing lamp tipped sideways on the floor, "Identification..." She threw the card aside, "phone numbers...personal photos..." Kami hesitated, "Security passes." She announced, holding up four cards, "These might come in handy."
Sam stuck his head out of the Rebel's closet, winked, then went back to his commandeering.
Kami glanced down at the photo of the Captain and his family, her eyes set on the kid's smiling faces. With a sigh, she bent over and slid the photo back into the Capatin's right chest pocket, "Cute kids," she murmured, before slinging her arms under the Rebel's shoulders.

"Hey Sam. A little help soldier."
Sam pulled back out of the closet, a checkered cap perched haphazardly on his head, "What's this? His Sunday Hat?"
Kami rolled her eyes, "Now." She ordered.
Sam shrugged, walked over and helped the Corporal to carry the Captain out on deck. Afyon met them halfway down the stairs, his somewhat grim facade cracking at the site of Sam.
"You two have been working hard I see."
He stepped aside to let the two Dragoons pass, and then followed the duo onto the deck to help transfer the prisoner over to the Dragoons boat.
"I guess we don't get to keep this thing?" Kami asked her SL as she leapt the short distance between the boats
Afyon shook his head, "No holiday yacht for us in the next couple of weeks, we'll be way to busy to relax."
At the helm of the boat, TK let out an extremely long and exasperated sigh, "Figures."

The dark stalker jumped from rooftop to rooftop with amazing grace.  Then, Argon saw with amazement as the stalker jumped off the rooftop down 15 meters onto the main thoroughfare.

The stalker ran into the cantina, hiding amongst the groups of people.  Anubis slowly finished his drink, paid his tab, then went to exit out the back way.  While it was darker, it was a much quicker way back to the apartment.

Not long after exiting the cantina, exited the stalker.  He followed Anubis with keen silence that few humans could pick up.  Argon was not far behind, and was ready for anything the stalker may pull.

The stalker was now less than several meters away from Anubis, and eventhough it was almost dead silent, Anubis still didn't detect the presence of his stalker.

The stalker went closer, drawing his weapon, and preparing to attack Anubis.

"Anubis, get down!"  Argon shouted as the stalker was nearly about to attack.  Sensing his cover blown, the stalker chose to flee, and jumped up and out of sight.

Anubis only caught a brief image before all that was left was a battle-ready Argon.  "He was following you for a while."  Argon said, then finally took this time to relax, sensing that the stalker would not return for the time being.

"Thanks Argon, I didn't even know, I mean I heard some things, but I thought it was just the wind."  Anubis said in a tone made up of confusion and fright.  "Well, let's hurry back to the apartment, I don't wanna stay out here any longer now than I have to."  And with that, the two Wraiths ran to the turbolift that would take them back to their apartment, where they could tell Kuroishi, and hopefully find some way to stop the person that had some interest in Anubis.
