~Briefing Room in Training Simulator~
"Have a seat everyone we are about to start," Rizzit said as he threw data cards at each troop. "In this mission, a great friend of mine will be our main target. He is a Moff that once served the Glorious Old Empire before it was destroyed. He has been taken prisoner by troops of the New Imperium, and must be freed for if his life is taken many lives will follow."

"Fortunately for us, he is locked up in the detentionary of a Marauder Corvette that is on its way to NI headquarters. Obviously he must be taken back before the ship reaches the headquarters, so the element of time is to our disadvantage. You must be quick on this one."

"Although the size of the ship is relatively small, it's well guarded I can assure you that. The NI will do whatever they can to make sure that he arrives at the headquarters safely, so you'll have to be quick....Good luck"

Dark Dragoons Squad saluted and turned on their data cards...it read:

-------------------------------------------------
Your Mission: Board the Marauder Corvette and rescue the Imperial Moff from the detentionary before the ship reaches headquarters.

Your Equipment:

- Standard Stormtrooper gear
- NI Security Clearance Card
- Slicertool
- 2 plasma cutters
- 3 gas grenades
- 1 cam bot

Zafo looked down at the card and reflected on his orders and thought about the possible outcomes of this mission. The first thing he wondered about was how the hell they were going to get onto the corvette in the first place? Well it would probably already be sorted, or it wouldn't be his decision anyway. All he had to do was follow orders, although if it involved some of those troop-carrying torpedoes more fanatic groups of soldiers had been rumored to use he was not looking forward to it.

Onboard the corvette they would probably have to get in and out quickly and avoid too much trouble at first. Sneaking around in a confined space was what he was used to, he smiled, and he had spent many years doing that. However if they were discovered it would probably degenerated into a close-up slog fests down tight corridors, he didn't know the full fighting compliment of a Marauder Corvette, but with such an obviously highly regarded and important prisoner it would probably be more than a token force. The Dragoons would probably be hard pressed to get out safely in this happened and he was not to sure how well he would hold his own in that situation, although he was certain he would be ok if melee broke out he would rack up a good few kills with knives.

Once Zafo had returned his thoughts to the present, he realized Kairo was assembling the squad for his own orders and to make ready to go. He figured he better go and join them, before he was left out of things.

"As Rizzit has said, we don't have much time to catch this corvette. That ship is heavily defended as said before. I plan to take a small, fast ship to the corvette. The small ship will be equipped with an Ion Cannon. Tell the engineers to attach it to the smallest, fastest ship ASAP. We don't have much time troops. I know this job can be fast, I want this done in fifteen minutes! MOVE!"

The squad ran towards the engineers.

----Exactly 15 minutes later...----

"Sir, the ship is ready and the Ion Cannon is attached. We are ready for departure."

"Excellent. All troops, get into the ship now! We are taking off!"

The squad ran towards the ship. One at a time they crawled through the hatch. The air was a little humid but that could change. Kairo started up the engine. The engine whined to life.

"I want a go/no go for take off." Said Kairo.

"Engines."

"Go."

"Weapons Systems."

"Go."

"Ion Cannon."

"Go."

"Guidence Systems."

"Go."

"Maneuvering Systems."

"Go."

"Great. We are go for take off."

Kairo pressed the button that started the thrusters. The craft slowly ascended into the sky.

"Typing in coordinates of enemy Corvette now.....Coordinates set. Ok squad, I've set the ship on auto pilot for just a second, I wanted to talk to you guys. I know that we have all of our weapons in here that we need. Remember, here's the plan." Kairo paused before beginning.

"As soon as the corvette is in sensor range, we will fire a burst of speed. Sam, you will aim the Ion Cannon at the corvette. The ion cannon will disable the corvettes weapons for a small amount of time. As soon as we do that, we will go side-by-side with the ship. We will evacuate this vessel and bring out our "cutters". We will also bring an extra Stormtrooper Uniform for the Moff. We will brake into the corvette by making a small hole in it's outer shell. The air will undoubtedly be sucked out quickly. I want a quick search for the Moff himself. When you find him, let him put on the Stormtrooper uniform. Kill anyone and anything that gets in the way. As soon as he's ready, we will take the bridge and guide the ship back to VE base. It may sound easy but it's not. This is going to take skill, people. Now, get your gear ready and uniforms intact."

The troops nodded and began a quick check on their supplies, making sure that nothing would go wrong...

The ship shook as it lifted off, all the troops slightly swayed as it departed. One trooper in particular was feeling more than a little uncomfortable. LoneWolf shifted his rifle in his hands, checking the weapon more than once, unloading and reloading it. The weight of the rifle to him was both comforting and alien, as was the rest of his attire. The most unnerving thing to him was the armor, although designed and crafted to mold to the body it still felt heavy.
He was used to being on the escorting side, or even the pilot of such vessels but never before had he been the cargo that needed to be delivered. LoneWolf gave a sigh as he finished playing with his rifle and leaned back in his seat.

Several of his squad mates gave him a few glares, LoneWolf could tell they were mixed between curiosity and anticipation. He paid attention as they went over the plan again, and although he committed the plan to memory he still couldn't get the notion that he didn't know what he as doing.
The former naval officer shook his head and concentrated on releasing his tension. He had been on hundreds of missions before, countless battles, stolen just as many lives. The only difference before him now as having to aim the blaster instead of matching the crosshair to the target. As each breath came in and out of him he felt more comfortable again. He came into his combative train of thought, this would be nothing too extreme from what he had gone through before, only difference was now he had armor and squad mates.

"There are two things which hurt my head when I really think about it in detail; God, and Economics."

Giovanni's feet touched down with the floor of the Marauder Corvette. Instinctively he drew his weapon, and looked around the room for Sam. Sam was a few meters in front of him, and he signaled for him to follow up closely. The two dragoons went around the corner. The ominous sound of their footsteps echoed throughout the small corridor. It was quiet... and Giovanni didnt like it. Surely the ship had detected hull breach, where were the troops?

Giovanni shook the thoughts out of his head. He was too worried...After all, it was just a simulation. But something made him want to stand out in the eyes of the squad. he hadnt exactly proved himself in battle, and the last mission ended prematurely.

He focused once again on the task at hand: Getting to the Bridge.

Gio and Sam stopped right before a corner. Sam peeked around and gave the signal to attack. Sam peeked around, and was spotted by an officer, who was strolling casually through the corridors. Before the officer could take a step, Giovanni rolled out from cover and pulled the trigger. For the first time since they had arrived the silence was broken. The officer landed on his knees, and then keeled over. Giovanni had shot him in the neck, and the man was barely clinging for life.

"That was some shot," said Sam. "Not many people manage to not kill a man with a highly dangerous weapon..."

"Yeah yeah. At least i got him," Giovanni wispered in return. He scoured the freshly dead body and found a keycard.

This should come in handy, He thought.

"What do you figure we should do with the body," he asked Sam.

"I dunno...Is there any blood on his uniform...?"

"How can we be so sure something Is worth Living, If we are not Willing to Die for it?"

Zafo unsheathed his knife as he heard footsteps outside of the compartment he was hiding in. Even though he was wearing the same armor as his enemies, walking alone down the more deserted hallways of the ship would be somewhat suspicious. Through a small crack he saw three troops who had stopped right in front of him.

One of the troops, let out a small groan.

"What is it?" The one closest to Zafo asked

"I don't have any ammo in my rifle" The troop replied. He sounded somewhat emabarassed

The close one let out a sigh "Well you know our patrolling pattern, So get some ammo in that thing and join up with us as soon as you can."

The two troopers marched off. The ammo-less one turned and started to walk slowly the other way. Within 10 seconds the two troops had gone from the hallway. The lone trooper shuffled on, not making much progress. When Zafo was sure the lone trooper was completely alone, he sprung from his hiding spot, ran up behind the trooper and snapped his neck. It defiantly was not something Zafo enjoyed doing, but he really had no choice. This trooper had to go down. A blaster might have alerted someone and a knife might not have pierced the armor. Zafo cought the body before it hit the ground and quickly carried it over to the compartment he had just been in. He opened it and tucked the body away in the far corner. Someone who just opened the compartment would probably not notice the body lying within.

He shut the compartment and dashed up the path and through the door he heard the other two troopers pass through. The door led to a long hallway. Zafo saw the other two troopers just as the far door shut them from view. Zafo sprinted down the hallway. He was startled to see that the two troopers had moved maybe a couple of steps since the door closed behind them.

"It's about time" The bigger one said. His tone reflected his annoyance.

"Shouldn't we be heading to the engine room?" Zafo asked the bigger one.

"As You should know, that is where we are currently heading"

  "Let's look for a computerstation." Kairo said as he walked down the hall from the hanger bay. After checking a few rooms, which were thankfully empty, they came upon an empty office. Going over to the computer, Kairo motioned for Lonewolf to keep watch at the door.
 
  Turning on the screen, Kairo surched for files on the whereabouts of the Moff. 'logs, reports, orders, Hmh, that might work.' Searching through the officers orders, Kairo found a report of the Moffs whereabouts and security.

  "Apparently we found the Moff's head gaurds office. He is being held in cellblock five. That's near the engines. Ok, I downloaded a map onto my datapad. Let's go."

  Stepping out of the room, Lonewolf and Kairo started for the cellblock.

  'Why isn't there anyone running toward the hanger bay? They had to have noticed where we came in.' Making sure no one was around Kairo said,"Things are a little bit to quite don't you think?"

  "Yeah," Lonewolf replied. "Do you think they are planning a trap?"
 
  "I don't know but keep a look out."

A few minutes later they were across from the elevator that lead tp the secure area. "Two gaurds. It looks like they have to unlock the door for anyone to get through. I think we'll have to take them out." Whispered Kairo. "You take the left one I'll take the right one. Just walk up and I'll do the talking. If I can't get us through kill them."

Waiting till the hall was empty they started for the gaurds. When they got there though, three soldiers came out of an ajacent hallway. "Keep cool," Kairo whispered as he saw Lonewolfs hand stray toward his blaster.

  Kairo let the other group talk first. "We are here to drop off a relief gaurd that you requested," the soldier leading thegroup said.

  "Thanks, he's been fealing horrible since lunch," a gaurd next to the elevator said as the other one walked toward the security patrol.

"What are you waiting for. Your the relief man." The lead gaurd said.

"Who, me?" came Zafo's voice.

"Who else. Get over there." the lead gaurd said as he pushed Zafo towards the door giving him a key card. Walking away with the sickly gaurd he said, "I wonder how he even got on this ship."

"And what do you want?" the remaining gaurd inquired."We only asked for one reli..." his last words ended in a gurgle as he looked down to see Kairo's dagger stuck in a gap between his armor.

"It's Kairo, Zafo. I'll need that key card now.Get that key card off of the other one and put him somewhere quite Lonewolf. Ok Zafo, We'll take it from here. Get to the engine room. Its just two halls down."

  As Zafo ran towards the engine room, Kairo and Lonewolf entered the elevator. "They had a security camera out there that I didn't see before. Out covers been blown. They know where we are."

  As soon as he was in the elevator, Kairo pulled out his blaster rifle and pressed himself to th side of the wall. looking across at Lonewolf he said, "As soon as these doors open I am expecting it to be shoot out. I will take point. Give me some cover fire as I take out the turrets." Lonewolf nodded.

  Pulling out a flash grenade, he had brought along in case they needed to make a quick escape, kairo tightened his grip on his blaster. When the elevator stopped Kairo pressed the igniter button grenade. As soon as the doors started to open, he rolled it out of the elevator between the crack. Blaster fire started to shoot into the elevator. Only three seconds past when the grenade went off and a flash as bright as the sun filled the room. Rolling out of the elevator, Kairo shot the first person he saw as he came up into a crouch. As a turret started to track him, he shot off a round of fire that reduced it to slag. Meanwhile, Lonewolf hadn't wasted any time decimating anything that moved from his spot in the elevator.

  A few minutes later the room was cleared. Four gaurds laid dead and two turrets were destroyed. "Stay here and gaurd the doors. I'm going to find the Moff." Running down the hall, Kairo came to the cell holding the Moff. Sliding the door open he came said, "We're here to get you off of this ship and back to imperial territoy. Come with us please."  As Kairo exited the cell with the Moff, Kairo felt himself being pulled back to reality.

  "Sorry to have to do that to you guys, but we have an urgent mission for," came Rizzits voice. "Get cleaned up and meet me in the meeting room in an hour. That should give you plenty of time."

(OOC sorry to have to cut it short. I was going to make it longer, but I have to leave the house for a couple of hours. The new story will be up later.)
