[OOC: FA is no longer in the Ch. 8 Army story.]   
    The generator room was...a little better-guarded than Angel realized. A squad of heavy infantry patrolled around a fifty meter perimeter. JR readied his blaster but FA put his hand down for him. The apparent commander was a ruffled-looking second lieutenant. He held out his hand to halt them.
    "What are you doing here?" the soldier demanded. All of his troopers slowly lined up behind him, making them an easy target. Perfect.
    When all the rebels were assembled, Phoenix drew his saber and brutally bashed the officer's head in, shocking him along the way. JR sidestepped quickly and shot the next few fools while Phoenix took care of the rest.
    Panting, he said, "Not bad for only two Imperials."
    A crackle.
    Angel tapped his earpiece and listened intently on the incoming instructions. "Sithspit," he muttered under his breath.
    JR glanced curiously his way. "What is it?"
    "I've been reassigned...take these explosives and continue on." He switched frequencies. "Lukas! New orders just came in; so you'll have to move to cover JR AND gold team. Can you do that?"

    From his rather lofty vantage point, Lukas scanned the building. "I'm on it." Miffed at his sudden relocation, Lukas packed up his gear and marched across the building roof.

    "You're all set?" Angel received a grim nod. "Alright, take care, and don't blow yourself up." With that, Angel faded into the shadows and JR was left alone wiring explosives in the generator room. At least Lukas is still watching over me, JR thought sourly.

JR stepped into the generator room and scanned the area.  In it he saw that there were four generators and the main control panels for each.  He also saw that there was a door on the far wall.  Walking up to it and putting his ear against it he listened for any signs of life. Hearing voices JR took three grenades out of his pack in order to take out any rebels and any traps that we're in there.  Opening the door he tossed the grenades in and bolted for cover.  Hearing them explode he walked towards the room.  Picking up a piece of scrap that had explode out of the room JR tossed it back in as bait for any remaining traps.  Seeing now signs of anything remaining he stepped inside and looked around.  What he saw made him curse profusely.  He realized that he had just stepped into the security center and had just blown almost all of the screens clear off the wall.  Looking at the remaining screens he saw that a squad of rebels was coming his way.

Activating his comlink he messaged Lukas, "I'm gonna need cover real soon," he said, "there's at least a dozen rebels coming my way."

"Gotcha," Lukas replied, "I'm gonna scan the area see if I can find them at slow them down a bit."

JR knew that this would be tough.  Not only was it the first time he would be planting explosives on his own but he was now rushed to finish and try to get our before the rebels reached him.  Since it was his first time, he decided he would plant a few extra explosives just to be safe.  He started by drilling some holes in the floor of the security center and planting some explosives there, hopefully causing the walls to implode and crush everything inside.  He then went into the generator room and began to do the same in there.  After he had lined the walls with explosives he went to each of the generators and planted eight explosives along the bases of each and two along the bottom of each control panel.

"JR, it's Lukas, I've got good news and bad."  JR heard through the comlink, "I managed to get quite a few of the rebels, however there's at least twenty still coming towards you."

Swearing JR racked his brain for a solution.  Looking around he saw the windows and quickly moved towards one.  Looking out he saw that he was only two stories high.  Getting an idea, he moved towards the far wall and stood waiting for the rebels to come.  Knowing he would have to get fairly far away from the building in order for his plan to work JR prepared to sprint.  He soon heard footsteps coming from the hallway and blocked out everything but the door.  As soon as he saw it open he started to run.  The rebels all stormed into the room blaster ready.  Luckily for JR his shadow suit had kept him from being seen until he was halfway across the room.  As he approached the window he glanced back.  As he had hoped all of the rebels had entered the room.  He looked forward and saw the window quickly coming towards him.  When he was only a couple feet from the window he dove through it.  As he was falling he pulled out the detonator and pushed the button.  He could feel the heat as the sound of the explsion sent his eardrums ringing. 

He quickly hit some bushes on the ground.  Unable to stand he turned over and looked at the building.  As he had hoped the walls had caved in crushing the rebels that hadn't been killed by the blasts and causings the rooms to collapse down on the floor below.  Inspecting his body he saw that he had some serious cuts from the glass and a few pieces sticking out of various places on his body but it want anything that couldnt be quickly fixed with some duct tape and that he had come out extremely well considering the situation.

Returning to their room, Argon quickly ran through the situation with Kuroishi and Fish.

He explained how the person had been following them for some time, and how it seemed to be interested particularly in Anubis.

"Other than that," he said, "I couldn't tell much.  It seemed pretty sensitive to motion though, I had to take twenty minutes just to get around it."

"Right," said Kuroishi, "Here's what we'll do..."

    Rizzit looked over the angry officer and nodded to Knight and Snipes. Pretending to pull out an ID Rizzit also readied his silenced pistol in its holster. Just as they were going to shoot the officer an explosion rocked the base buildings.

    The trio all dropped to the ground and shot the officer  unison. Getting up quickly Rizzit checked the officers body and pulled out a datapad and keycard. Readying their main weapons Knight locked and loaded his T-21 and Snipes loaded and checked his weapon. Rizzit checked around the corner and saw a squad of heavily armored marines heading for the exploded building.

    Signaling for the two sergeants to fall back he told them to get into position to ambush the marines. Arming two grenades Snipes readied to throw them into the path of the rebels and Knight clicked his repeater to full auto and put a bead on the area where the ambush will take place.

    Rolling the two grenades into the target area they went off in succesion with one being a frag and one being an ion grenade to knock out the enemy weapons.

    FlyingKnight pulled the trigger and opened fire on the still standing rebels and took a few down before some of them regrouped and got behind cover firing some unaffected projectile weapons his way. Ducking down Knight blind fired and dove out from behind cover rolling across the street into a door way for minimal cover.

    Seeing the imperial dive for cover the four marines that were left all fired at the doorway. Rizzit walked out from cover with Snipes behind him and killed the marines each taking out two because of their fatal mistake.

    Walking out from behind cover Knight nodded at the other two saying, "Thanks now lets get moving toward the Comm tower and take it down."

Afyon called the squad together for a briefing.  He quickly outlined for them what their next missions would be and gave instructions as to what preparations  needed to be done before hand.  Zafo was instructed to make a couple homemade bombs to blow up the ammunition depot.  They didn't need to be particularly powerful or high tech, just enough to start a chain reaction.  Ultimately one or two bombs could set off a fire large enough to do the job.  Tk would take the next watch duty and would be taking up several of the datapads found on the rebel officers to study.  While the rebel Captain may have revealed many targets, there was bound to be false information in what he gave and an almost guarantee he deliberately left stuff out.

The rest of the squad would get to work making repairs to the rebel ship.  Ultimately much of the battle damage could not be fixed with what equipment they had, but that would help with their bluff when they went to infiltrate the rebel base.  The Dragoons couldn't get away with impersonating the crew of this ship since they would most likely be discovered the second someone recognized that they weren't who they said they were.  Afyon decided that they would repaint the number and some of the markings on the ship to make it look like a boat from another base.  With the communications tower down it would be much more difficult for the rebels to communicate well with other bases as the naval facility itself most likely had a weaker transmitter which relayed signals to the tower and were then sent in a powerful transmission.  They would play the part of a ship which had become damaged in a battle with imperial loyalists and needed fuel in order to make it back to their base.  This would at least buy them some time to get into the base and mingle in among the rest of the rebels. 

Afyon instructed everyone to find a uniform among the ones they had gathered which fit them.  There had been some spare uniforms on the ship and they had taken some of the ones which hadn't been significantly damaged or bloodied from the dead rebels.  They had plenty of rebel weapons and ammunition as well as some security passwords which they had taken from the Captain.  The main project for the Dragoons was to search the ship for anything on board which would link the ship with the base and then to find a way to hide extra weapons, ammunition, and explosives onboard so that they wouldn't be found if the vessel was searched.  It would look rather strange for a rebel patrol ship to be carrying explosives.

For Afyon, the key repairs that needed to be done on the ship were fixing the radar, communications, and other electronics so that they could track any enemy ships and use their radio to cause confusion.  The onboard guns were also a priority, fortunately on this boat, the explosion from the ammunition crate Kami hit didn't seriouisly damage the forward gun turret so it only needed minor repairs.  They would use what lumber they had left to board up the holes from the inside.  The rebel ship did have some on board as did all ships of significant size.  The ship wasn't designed for a major deployment but could probably go a couple of days before returning to base which meant it had a small galley on board although the Dragoons found no food on board meaning this ship was hastily crewed and left in a hurry to chase them.  There were two cramped rooms, each with two bunks and the Captain had a small room to himself.  Afyon made a note to search it again later to see if anything had been well hidden.

Afyon finished giving his briefing and set the squad to work.  He grabbed a first aid kit, they had found a large one of the rebel ship which was a blessing since the Dragoons were running low on some supplies due to the number of injuries sustained.  He walked over to the large room where the Dragoon's kept their swoops to see how the rebel Captain was.  He wanted to keep the man alive as much as possible in case he would be of further use.  Afyon was shocked when he saw the condition the man was in.  On each leg, he noticed very crude bandages covering what looked like large and deep cuts.  His face and mouth were badly battered and bleeding as well.  Afyon was worried about the Captain's wounds becoming  badly infected, if he didn't bleed to death before it happened.  He walked over to the captain and took out a large bandage and a bottle of bacta.  He unwrapped the bandage on the Captain's left leg and held it in place over the wound.  He took a deep breath and quickly pulled it off and pressed the new one on tight over the wound to prevent blood loss.  The Captain moaned and his leg shook with pain.  Afyon took a piece of cloth ripped from one of the dead rebel's uniforms and tied the bandage in place.  He did the same on the other leg and then cleaned off the disinfected the Captain's face.  When he was done, he ordered the Captain to open his mouth and Afyon squirted in some water into the man's mouth.  He ordered him to swish it around and spit.  The water came out a deep red colour.  Afyon did it again to ensure he got most of the blood out of the man's mouth.  The Captain would survive this ordeal Afyon determined and made a note to feed him later.

Fury settled into a bomb crater with Raziel, waiting for the Royal Guardsmen to make the first move to the far right.  Defenses had thinned a little here so while the DJs practiced neck-snapping, Fury and Raziel could move across the open plain they had, beyond the break in the lines, then hit their objective from behind. 

The Drillies had it harder.  While the Guardsmen would soften up their secondary target enroute to taking out the barracks compounds, they had the most fortified bunker to take out.  A frontal assault would be suicide so care would have to be taken to ensure a proper mission.

"Yo, Kami!"
Kami leapt from under the gun turret, cracking her head against its metal frame.
"Geezus..." Rema crouched down next to her, "Sorry. You nearly done?"

Wincing and clutching at her head with her left hand, Kami nodded, sending a few strands of uncooperative hair flying about her face, "Yeah Sarge, done."
Rema nodded, then stifled a laugh, "Sorry again."
The Dragoons second in command span about and fled before Kami had the chance to hit him where it hurt.
Stifling her curse, Kami turned her attention back to the turret.
Almost as good as new...

Throwing her tools to the side she glanced up in time to see Art exit the Dragons base.
As he neared the boat, his gaze swept hers, a uncommon cold look of disappointment etched in his dark eyes.

Stunned, Kami watched curiously as he strode past her and down into the ship's hold without a word.
Wiping angrily at a smudge of grease on her cheek, Kami noticed the tinge of blood on her Sergeants fingers before he disappeared from view.
She hesitated mid-swipe, knowing immediately was Afyon's problem was

Since when does Art care so much about Rebel prisoners?

Shrugging off the question with a small shake of her head, Kami leapt over the side of the recently converted boat, then went to relieve TK of watch.

The Rebel Sergeant was tall and slim, with piercing green-gray eyes that seemed capable of staring down even the most egotistical of soldiers.
She tore her eyes away from her reflection.
This is what Paige would look like now...a sober voice echoed in the back of her head, after her time in the Rebellion...she'd probably be at the rank of Sergeant or higher...

TK threw an arm around Kami's shoulders, knocking her out of her reverie.
"Looking good Kam, you were made for that uniform."
Ignoring the pang in her chest at the remark , Kami slid out from under TK's arm and gave him a mock glower, "You mean, you look good in that uniform sir."
TK snapped to attention and threw a sloppy salute, "My apologies, a lowly Corporal like myself has trouble comprehending the simplest of situations."
Kami's next glower was all too real.
"Watch yourself Sarge."
TK laughed and threw up his hands defensively, "Whoa girl. Steady."

"I think this is where you run away TK." Afyon exclaimed, stepping between Kami and TK with his arms outstretched, a lopsided grin on his face.
TK saluted Art, winked at Kami, then strode off to the other side of the equipment room, no doubt to harass Rema while he attempted to get his Rebel gear ready.

"Here..." Afyon straightened the rank patch on Kami's shoulder that announced her as a Rebel Sergeant, then looked her up and down. "Fits you well."
He held up the I.D card the Dragoons had found on the dead Rebel Sergeant Kami was now wearing, "You even look somewhat like her, which means we don't need to waste time altering the photo."
Afyon turned about to address the rest of the Dragoons, still seeming the part of SL in the captured Rebel Captain's uniform.
"Alright, finish up checking your gear. We're leaving in just a couple of hours."
"I'll go check on Zaf, see how watch is doing."
Kami nodded and watched Afyon go, feeling distinctly uncomfortable in her Rebel guise. Turning her gaze back to the Dragoons, she took in the rest of the squad.
Rema was clad in the uniform of a Lance Corporal, TK as a Corporal, Sam (and Zafo) in the guise of Privates, which they had so far, been protesting loudly about.

"Goddam TK!" Rema shouted suddenly from the other side of the room, swinging his fist in a half-hearted attempt to hit the Dragoon Sergeant, who skidded nimbly back out of his reach.
Laughing along with Sam, Kami took one last look at herself in the makeshift mirror on the wall, then turned her mind back to the mission ahead.

JR got up and looked around.  Seeing that he was safe he pulled out his roll of duct tape and began to patch his wounds and rid his body of any glass.  As he was working on his hips he found another detonator that he had missed before.  Remembering that it was for the air scrubber room, he decided that he would try to make another distraction for gold team and give them an easier path to the tower.  Before he did anything he wanted to make sure that all of his squadmates were in the clear before he blew anything sky high.

"Lukas I think I have an idea of where you are but I'm not sure," JR said though his comlink, "Look at your map.  If your above the air scrubber room you need to move.  As soon as I know everyone's clear I'm taking it out."

"Roger that," Lukas replied, "I'm okay where I am.  I don't know how you're going to contact Rizzit, but I'm sure they're fine."

JR hadn't thought about reaching Rizzit.  Luckily for him he didn't have to wait long until Rizzit reached him. 

"Hey JR nice work with that explosion," came his voice through the com, "How're you doing."

"I'll live," JR replied, "I have a couple serious cuts but nothing that'll kill me.  Anyway I need you to look at your mapp and tell me if you're within explosion range of the air scrubber room."

"Hmm," Rizzit said looking at his map, "Looks like we're clear."

"Good, bombs away"  JR said with a chuckle as his finger pushed down on the button.  An explosion shook they base as the air scrubber room was blown out the side of the building.  JR stood clapping his hands as he watched the flames.

"Lukas I'm coming up to the roof to join you.  Cover me."  JR said as he pulled out his harpoon gun and shot it towards the top of the building.  Making sure the line was secure he began his climb up.

"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."

    A hand extended to grab JR's shoulder and pulled him up onto the roof. Lukas stood up and peered over the building edge, then motioned for his teammate to peek down at the gathering military firefighters and security guards. Lukas took the moment to scan over JR's duct tape covered suit.
    "Duct tape?" he asked in surprise.
    The senior sergeant glanced back. "Raiders thing. You get used to it after a while, and it's good for anything." Lukas rolled his eyes.
    Seeing the opportunity, Lukas pointed his sniper rifle down at the firefighters, signaling to JR to cover him.

    Rizzit's Gold group was making good time as they passed down an alleyway to cut the walk. Suddenly, the captain stopped and made the fireteam press themselves against the wall. Something wasn't right. People shouted in the distance and the footsteps were coming their way. He grimaced, "JR and his bombs. Now we'll have to take the long way to avoid detection."
    A glint on top of the roof of one of the buildings signaled the others' locations. He and the rest of Gold readied their weapons again. Before doing so, Rizzit called JR. "Why is everything taking so damn long?"

    "Stop the speeder!" a rebel officer shouted before hopping off the rapidly decelerating vehicle. He inspected the massive structural damage that could only have been made by bombs. His guard group of eight heavily armed men fanned out and established a safe perimeter around the lieutenant.

    "I don't know. Everybody's been moving so slow lately." JR whispered into his microphone.
    "Then move it! We don't have all year here," Rizzit snapped back.
    Flyingknight took the spare time to peer round the area and, spotting the comm tower, tapped Rizzit on the arm. "Look over there."

  Snipes stepped forward, bandolier of Shotgun shells making a slight noise as he checked around the corner, they had long ago shed thier unforms, finding that they where getting asked for ID more and more and finaly they heard over a pair of stolen comms. Now they wandered the halls in the shadow suites that kept them reasonably well hidden, Snipes was looking for some sort of security breakers or something to turn the lights off, while th others where continuing on to the comm center. then they would regroup at the exit and leave, But Snipes didnt worry about that right now, he ahd something he was doing now.

  The Sergeant ran down the hallway, jumping into a darkened room at the end, he rolled once and was stopped by a wall, he spun then and put his back to a wall, he let a few seconds pass, then he looked around the corner, nobody. it was now that Snipes envyed the force users of the galaxy, they tell if there was somebody around the next corner, but Snipes couldnt, he would have to rely on his itchy trigger finger. With that thought in mind he again withdrew his thin bladed knife, everything else was under his shadow suit, just the knife, stuck in a boot, was his protection.

This time he kept to the wall, there where no shadows, the hall being illumitaded by lights on both the floor and ceiling. he kept his ears and eyes, and nose, alertm but he didnt see anybody, nor around the next corner, or the next, he thought they must be all drained out ans spread too far apart. So Snipes walked, ever more casualy untill he cam the the thick security door he knew would come, and behind that he knew there was a breaker box, the electical schematics had told him so. He withdrew the dead mans security card and swiped it threw the receptical, the door opened, and he was in.

Snipes spun around as soon as he was in the door and shut it, pulling the control panel apart he cut all the wires, so nobody could get in now.
Snipes pulled the mask down around his neck and walked over to a large grey box on the other side of the 24 foot by 24 foot room, it was lightly funished, just two chairs, a table and a datacenter, and of course the large grey box on the other side of the room.

Snipes pulled out his shotgun, looked around, then shot the lock off the large box, opening up the object, he saw exactly what he was excpecting. three E-11's and two DL-44's along with several blaster packs. Snipes grabbed tjhe pistols and shoved them behind his belt. he spun on one foot and steped briskly over to the datacenter, using his stole pass card he got in quickly, wich was good for him because he wasnt a slicer, when the screen finaly finished loading he was givin a schematic of the entire complex, scrolling around the screen he was amazed to find just how large the base extended, it went on for miles and miles underground, some tunnels it seemed might lead to other islands, unfortuneately this was just an electrical schematic and he had no idea where anything truly went, everything was labled with things like '352B'. it took Snipes some coniderable surfing to find the hallways he needed to becvause of this. He pulled up a status report of each, wich basicaly told him which systems where running and wich wherent, it took almost nothing for Snipes to turn the lights off in the areas he needed, which was most of what was above ground and a little of what was below.

"Alright, I'm done" Snipes said into his comm unit, stepping back from the center and drawing out his gun." This place runs for miles everywhere, i suggest we try to steal a better blueprint, i think ours is a bit outdated"

  "good job, we can see the fruits of you efforts down here, asto finding a better schematic, thats secondary." Rizzit was his usual self, a usual self Snipes now needed to find.

"ok, which section are you on?" Snipes asked

"Second stage of entry." Rizzit said, which ment to Snipes he was downstairs, under ground.

Snipes searched around the schematic and found the area, he should be able to get there quickly threw some air ducts, although that method had been used so much he wasnt entirely sure there wouldnt be trap in there, but he'd take his chances.

"I can catch up" Snipes said, knowing he could catch them before they made it to the comm center.

"Alright, but if something happens, you cant get threw, or anything, just move to the planned exit, out" Rizzit was thinking, Snipes could tell, Snipes had suggested a change in the plan and Rizzit had agreed.

"Out" Snipes siad, nodding. He recovered his face and withdrew the twin pistols, they he fired a volley of shots into the data center, so nobody could turn the lights back on without manualy opening up the panel in each room and hallway, Snipes knew from experiance that was a hard job, sence each manual breaker required you put in the right code for that breaker, and Snipes had just destroyed one of the only places that information was stored, there would be another place in another computer, but Snipes couldnt be sure where to find that, probably a commanderss office.

a noise at the door told Snipes somebody was trying to get in, Snipes took a second and ran threw his memory of how this facility was put together, there should be one of the larger ducts below him, acting on this supposition Snipes pulled out his trusty cutting tool and cut threw the metal floor, it was a thick floor and it took him a few minutes, buy this time the idiot on the other side of the door had gotten friends and they where trying to cut threw to the door, luckly to the door was very thick and Snipes was able to finish first, hopping down he found himself in a large culvert type duct, about elevin feet in circumfrence, Snipes had no way shutting the hole again, and so getting to his feet he ran down and took a left turn, then he ran some more before hearing yells and shouts and running footsteps behind him, he could hear his stolen comm buzzing with activity, most of it was spoken in codes he didnt know.

He rounded another corner to find a squad of rebels coming down, Flashlights searching all over the place, Snipes ducted quickly around the corner. he serached around under his suit and found an ion grenade, he tossed it out, several seconds passed and a blue flash illuminated the duct before everything went dark, he heard weapons drop, and other weapons cocking, Snipes knew now that he was up against some experianced men, and so decided it might be better to avoid them all together, so Snipes darted out, and was driven back in by projectile fire. Snipes spat, the rebels must have infrared goggles or night vision, or something like that. if it wasnt knocked out by his ion grenade it ment this equipment was realy high grade, expensive, these guys had to be covert ops or special forces, something special.  Snipes withdrew and incederary grenade, knowing it was probably the only way to go, he tossed that out at them, then a flash of read fire and spun out from his cover, fireing bothe DL's, he was met with a little return fire, most likely only two or three guys survived at most and thier fire was erractic and Snipes could tell it was only for show. once he reached the next duct Snipes droppen the pistols and ran, dove therw where a fan was and crawled into a smaller duct. it wasnt untill then Snipes checked his datapad to see where he was, he was way off course, he could probably still make it to rizzit using these smaller ducts, but he wasnt sure how fast.

    The lights suddenly went out as snipes commed in that he shut off most of the power. Taking out NV/IR goggles Rizzit did the same and they moved on wearing their shadow suits. Rizzit checked his datapad from some newly aquired information from Knight. They headed silently down the hall with silenced pistols or knives drawn taking down one unexpecting soldier after another trying to use flashlights to light their way down the hall to either patrol or try to fix the problem.

    Suddenly Rizzit held up his hand when he thought he heard some noise coming from the down the hall. They ducked into a small corridor and Rizzit pulled out his comm. "Snipes where are you exactly?" Rizzit commed silently.
    "Snipes I am not exactly sure but I will be near the entrance to the comm center about when you arrive." Snipes responded.
    "Okay rodger that," Rizzit said closing the comm then looked around the corner carefully. "All clear, I want to make a sort of mad dash to the comm center and get those explosives set and then get out. Then we need to get to the surface and set the tower to blow. I know that we will hopefully have some sniper cover when we do so lets move out.

    Rizzit went first his E-11 leading the way with FlyingKnight close behind with his T-21. Rounding the corner they ran straight through a squad of marines that were guarding three techs trying to repair the lights without them noticing then Rizzit chucked a grenade back towards them starting at a run again. They were rocked by the explosion but kept running on.

    Rounding the corner that was to the comm center they stoped suddenly by a large blast door.
    "Hmm...ok lets wait for snipes to get here then you can breach the door and we can head in." Rizzit said looking at the door then at Knight.
    "Okay I will start on the preliminaries," Knight said slipping into the shadows typing away furiously on a keyboard that was hooked up to an eyepiece that was linked into his laptop and his NV goggles so that no one would know that a slicer was working in the dark unseen.

Far off in the Region known as Wild Space

All she remembered was being carted off by the Imperials.  Then after a long trip through hyperspace, something happened.  Now she was somewhere worse than anywhere the VE could take her.  She was at the base of her 'employer.'

Vosla could feel his cold, dark presence as he entered the cell chamber she was held in.  "You failed me..." He said, and Vosla suddenly exhaled sharply, then found herself unable to inhale.

"You were to retrieve Anubis, and what happened, you lost him.  Not only that, but you lost the ship I provided you with.  Don't think I didn't have any eyes looking at what you did, I saw that you went straight on to attack that Imperial Star Destroyer."

I thought I could take on the Star Destroyer with the heavy turbolasers Vosla knew that he would hear her thoughts, and since she had no air in her, she couldn't speak.

"I told you the ship was powerful, but to rush in against an Imperial Star Destroyer is beyond foolish."  Vosla's lungs burnt because of a lack of oxygen.  She should have passed out by now, but something kept her awake and suffering.  "Lucky for you, my apprentice has found him.  He will retrieve Anubis where you failed.  Now as for you."

Vosla felt great fear now...she knew her 'employer's' ways.  He would most likely kill her, if not make her suffer for an endless amount of time.  But instead, he did something that shocked her.  She was allowed to inhale and breath.  She nearly passed out due to the shock of having oxygen enter her once again.

"What, what are you going to do to me?"  Vosla asked after recovering enough to speak.

Her 'employer' looked at her, smiled, then began, "I want you to go to Corellia.  I have provided you the coordinates of Anubis' old hovel there in your datapad.  I want you to enter, and look for anything about what we're searching for."  He kneeled down to look at her straight in the eyes.  "And if you fail me, I'll enjoy your slow and painful execution."

What have I gotten myself into...Anubis, please forgive me.

    The three of them ran along the corridor weapons locked and loaded heading for the nearest turbolift. Arriving at one Rizzit pressed the call button and waited for it to come to their floor.

    The door opened with a whoosh and the trio ran in. Pressing the ground level button Rizzit signaled for Snipes and Knight to get into different positions incase of enemies outside of the elevator. Taking out his comm Rizzit said, "Hey Lukas or JR we are coming out of an elevator near the comm tower give us support if possible.
    "Roger that," JR responded.

    The elevator slowed and the door opened with another whoosh and the three peered out of the elevator. Seeing only four dead bodies with headshots they walked out heading for the base of the comm tower.

    Rizzit motioned for Snipes to set charges while Knight watched his back with himself taking guard for any other soldiers. Snipes finished setting the charges and started to head for the main gate.
    "Lukas and JR you guys keep any enemies off our backs we will try and survive on our own but were counting on you the whole base might come down on us." Rizzit commed to the snipers. "Okay Snipes detonate the barracks explosives and to try and draw them over to that position." Rizzit ordered.

    Snipes did as he was told and the barracks exploded in a large fiery explosion that rocked the base severly. "Ok people lets move out," Rizzit said making a break towards the entrance making a type of leap frog manuever on the way there.

    Hearing and seeing the enemies drop around them the trio of imperials ran as fast as they could toward the front of the base.

    Nearing the middle part of the base they got pinned down by a bunker containing an E-Web. It had them pinned down while Rizzit tried to figure out a way to take out the bunker. Snipes tried tossing a grenade inside but the rebels grabbed it and tossed it back out. Exploding a few feet in front of their cover.

    Thinking quickly Knight took a thermite grenade and jumped out of cover diving past a volley of laser bolts. Taking two hits in the leg and foot he armed the grenade and counted to three and tossed it in, instantly it hit the floor of the bunker and exploded not giving a chance to the enemies inside.

    Knight got up and hobbled back to their cover. Sitting down he slapped a bacta patch and duct tape on his wounds and gave the go ahead to Rizzit. Checking his T-21 he headed out with Snipes leading the way and Knight pulling up the rear they headed for the entrance gunning the whole way.
