OOC:

Okay, Jag you had plenty of time, Jelly you did as well.  Be sure to read this post everyone, we have a objective now.  Plan is detailed below.

Bizza's Shack - Operation House
Operation Time: 11700 Hours
Local Time: 0830 Hours

Riqimo glanced around at the flimsi covered walls and then turned to his squad, who had pulled chairs into the room.  Hawkins and Riqimo had called for a pre-assault briefing in the crowded room.

"Sorry for the mess, Eclipse," Riq gestured around the room, "But we finally have an assault plan, and Griffin here will guide ya'll through it.  For those that haven't met him yet, Griffin is a tactician assigned to our squad.  Go ahead, mate."

Thomas Griffin nodded at the squad leader and began in his perpetually calm voice, "Hello there Eclipse, now what we have here is a very high security facility that we must sabotage.  Let me begin by presenting the defenses to you.  There are military speeders on patrol every single second of the day; their patrol paths vary, however, they are confined to a 250 kilometer radius around the outer wall.  These speeders are painted jet black, and are equipped to be silenced.  The NR doesn't want much attention drawn to themselves and keep the are under very high security.  This outer wall is simply a ten meter high electronic fence.  There are guard towers posted at regular intervals, and the guards within them are able to decrease or increase the voltage, or even shut off parts of the fence.  There are highly trained snipers authorized to use deadly force in these towers."

"Once past that, you will encounter a second wall about 500 meters in, this one is duracrete reinforced with plasteel, about 5 meters thick.  This should be our easiest obstacle, as this 15 meter high wall is simply to keep prying eyes out of the base.  Inside this base, there will be approximately 5 companies of troops total, NR and milita."

"Any successful attack would have to be in the form of a multi-prong assault... one party shall create a disturbance and get most of the garrison to respond while a second element penetrated the perimeter and attempted to disable the sensor net, creating a secondary diversion, while a third element actually penetrated into the base to attempt and perform sabotage. "


"Yes, even this plan has a few serious problems. First of all, ANY diversion is likely to bring blaster fire as a response. Also, at the slightest hint of a problem, I would imagine the entire complex goes on lockdown and extra guards are placed at all buildings."

"We will begin engagement at night. They won't be ready for a raid like we have planned at night.  You will have a wonderful assortment of equipment, Andrew will brief you on that," Griffin nodded towards the tech, "Go ahead Hawkins."

The slicer ran a hand through his short brown hair and held up an unusually designed headset, "This is the EAVH, Eclipse Audio Visual Headset, it gives you all communication without a helmet or the need for a separate comlink.  The eye piece provides normal vision, thermal, and night filters."

"In addition," Hawkins displayed a grenade-like object in his right hand, "This is a MID, Motion Insensor Disposable, you simply pull the pin and leave it on the ground.  This nifty gadget will emit a low frequency noise that disables any kind of motion sensor or audio listening device for about twenty meters."

"As for weaponry, most of it will be provided by the resistance group, as you gave them plenty of weaponry and they are more than happy to share some of it."

Griffin retook the center of the room and resumed his lecture on the assault plan, "Thank you Hawkins.  Now, we will not have any assistance from the resistance group, a war with the NR is not exactly what they wish at this time, and so we need to make this an Imperial assault.  So those that are in the first two groups will be in Stormtrooper armor, hence you will not need the EAVH."

"Group one, your team is Mustang, Brightstar, Scooter, and Jag.  Group Two, you are Jelly, Lain, and RK.  And Group Three, Riqimo, Wicket, Hawkins, and Goblin.  Yes I know I changed some things around from your fire teams, but I read through your files and assigned you where your skills would be best suited."

"Group Three, you will start here in the city on the roof of an office building at approx. 1500 hours local time.  You will be launched in hang gliders from that roof and will fly towards the base.  At 1900 hours local, Group One will, under the cover of darkness, form a diversion on the eastern side of the base, you will have a few e-webs set up.  We got a few minor resistance troopers to help out, but they are untrained.  1930 hours, a distraction on the north side will be made by group two, you will snipe, fire mortar shells, and the like, trying to keep on the move, going towards Group One."

"By 2000 hours local, Group Three should be 1 kilometer away from the base, and will release themselves from the hang gliders and use their jetpacks to insert themselves.  Such a small target should not be noticed if you fly with a good distance between yourselves.  The added distractions of the other two groups should get you in undetected, provided you do not draw attention to yourselves.  Once in, you will sabotage the base, Riqimo has a plan that he will execute."

Jelly loaded up the new speeder that Lain and RK had secured earlier that morning. The back had enough space to load the Mortar and Launcher the rebels had acquired for this particular attack.  Rk hoped into the drivers seat and reved the engine.

"Yall ready to go yet?" He asked only receiving a glare from Lain who was strapping down the mortars and the launcher as well as concealing them with a couple bags.

Jelly sat in the passenger seat testing the headset while making sure the armor plates under his clothes where well concealed. His sniper lay along his side concealed by the door and his Riot Suppression rifle sat under the dashboard.

Lain hopped into the back seat and patted the back of RK's seat motioning for them to go. Jelly decided to leave earlier than the other two groups so that they could set up in the dark of light as well as make sure nothing bad happened before the other groups arrived there.

After about a two hour drive they reached the area that they where gonna be on which overlooked the base. Jelly used the little grenades to disable any sensors which would give away their location.

After nearly an hour the small squad was fully set up for their mission.  Jelly sat a couple meters off with his Deathwind trained on the base. He toke this time to watch troop movements. The guard watches changed about ever hour and a half. Though each tower changed at different times. As well as there was never a time when at least three speeders weren't present patrolling about five meters from the energy fence.

"Ok Guys hold on we should be seeing some action soon." Jelly said quietly over the headset.


As if on cue some fire broke out coming from the eastern side of the base.

"Dammit Rebels have started." Jelly cursed quietly as he lined up his sight on a solider who was manning an anti infantry turret. The Deathwind kicked back and the man's head exploded  his body slumping to the side causing the turret to tilt and fall to the ground.

"Fire the mortar start at the fence's guard towers." Jelly ordered over the mic. A couple moments later a mortar exploded taking out the support of one of the towers which tilted heavily. A second mortar blew the top out killing the guards rushing around inside.

Jelly loaded up tracers in his rifle and fired at the towers to give close coordinates for their targets.

"I hope we get this over quickly." Jelly said quietly as he toke the life of another solider down in the base.

Riqimo led the group down the hall, due to him using the thermal scan. He also had the floor plan to the building. The group of four snuck through the halls trying to avoid confrontation of any kind. If anyone of the troopers got shot, chances are, they wouldn't live. Carrying ten charges was very risky in enemy territory but they could also be very effective if used right.

Continuing down the hall of the top floor, Riqimo spotted some movement on his thermal scan. Not wanting to make any noise,, he waved his hand back to the group, signaling them to move back. Oh man, I don't want to end this way. Wicket thought to himself, trying to build confidence. As he was scooting back, he took out his pistol just incase of an enemy attack.

After a few moments Riqimo signaled that it was clear to move ahead. Riqimo whispered to Wicket, who was right behind him, that the support beam was close. "Alright Wicket. If it's ok with you, I want you to place the charge. Make it quick. We want to get out of here as fast as we can." Riqimo whispered. "The main beam should be right around this corner, you can't miss it. I'll keep in touch via comlink. I don't see any movement around here but just be aware of anything you hear."

"Will do." Wicket said. He took the lead of the group and traveled down to the end of the hall. The other troopers, Riqimo, Goblin, and Hawkins, stayed to the edge of walls. Wicket ran quietly to the beam. While looking around, he took out the charge. He quickly set it. He picked such a spot to set it, that if you were casually walking by, you would not be able to see it. A trooper would have to be looking for such a thing to notice.

After Wicket was done he rushed to the rest of the group. "I'm done. You barely notice it. But I think I heard something. I also could be hearing things. I'm not sure." Wicket whispered.

"Let me see." Riqimo said. He looked at his thermal scanner and didn't see any movement. "Well I don't see anything. Anywho good job. Let's go to the next one."

Two charges were set. The group needed to go down the stairwell to get to the third charge. Making their way to the steps, they kept a look out for any wandering soldiers that there may have been. There were none. The steps were just feet ahead. Right when the group opened the door, an enemy came out. With a quick pull of the trigger from Goblin, The man fell to the ground with a thump. "Take care of him someone." Goblin said.

"Wow that was quick reflexes." Wicket said picking up the man and throwing him behind some boxes in the corner of the room.

"Yeah, I've been practicing." Goblin said while doing some karate like moves. "Anyway, enough chit chat. Let's go."

The group headed down the steps with a quickness in their stride. They didn't want to waste one minute. Once reaching the bottom of the steps Hawkins led the group. He tried to open the door, but it was locked. He took out his tools and started picking at the door. After a few seconds, the door opened and he peeked his head to see if anyone was near. The coast was clear. The group lurked through the halls looking for any enemy in sight. This backpack is getting heavy. Wicket thought as he re ajustded the pack to make it more comfortable.

The group continued down the halls. Soon they saw the beam right next to some lockers. "Hawkins you think you can do this one?" Riqimo asked.

"Sure. Just cover me. I don't want to die just yet." Hawkins replied. "I'll put the charge in one of those lockers so it will be undetected." Hawkins tip toed over to the lockers, making sure no enemy was in sight. He made it to the lockers safely. He picked out one of the lockers that was closer to the beam so it would do more damage. The others were watching from the other direction and around the corner.

Once Hawkins had placed the charge, he turned around quickly and saw a large man standing behind him. "What do you think you are doing." The man said. The man drew his pistol. Before he could pull the trigger, Hawkins grabbed his arm and twisted it around to his back. With his other hand he grabbed the mans neck and snapped it like a twig. The large man slid to the floor not making much noise. Hawkins picked up the man and placed him in the locker with the charge. I think Jelly would like this. Hawkins thought to himself as he headed back to the group.

The group met up, and Hawkins explained what happened. "Well at least you are safe." Wicket said. At least it wasn't me "Riqimo, on to the next charge. You lead the way again. We will play a game of follow the leader." Wicket joked.

We are almost done. Keep it together Wicket. You are doing good so far. Wicket thought to himself. He was truly becoming a better trooper by the second. After the brief day dream, he came back to reality and focused on the mission at hand.

So far the group had been fairly lucky with avoiding being detected by enemies. The group hoped that luck would be a lady. They headed down the steps and into the next floor. Riqimo held his hand up, signaling the group to stop. He saw movement coming from both sides of the hall, left and right. He pointed at Wicket and motioned for him to get on the left wall, and Goblin to get on the right wall. "When the two people come, kill them." Riqimo ordered. "Hawkins, watch the stairwell that we just came from." Hawkins nodded.

A few seconds passed and The enemy coming from Goblin's direction came into view. In a heartbeat, Goblin grabbed the man and snapped his neck. That seemed to be the easiest way without making too much noise. Hawkins left his post for a second to grab the dead man and place him under the steps. The man coming from Wicket's side seemed to have stopped. "Doc...what's taking this guy so long?" Wicket asked.

"I'm not sure. He is still coming this way. Can you peek out and see what's going on?" Riqimo replied. Wicket looked around the corner but didn't see anything.

"I don't see anything. Do you think he could be in the ceiling?" Wicket asked.

"I spose so." Doc replied with confusion as to not knowing where the man was. "Oh well we are wasting time. Wicket you could place this one. Its just right down the hall to the left. I don't see any motion yet."

"Alright. I'll go." Wicket said. Yet... Wicket became scared after hearing that but he couldn't let it get to him. He continued down the hall with his blaster drawn just incase someone snuck up on him. He located the beam. He searched around for a place to put the charge. Looking around, Wicket saw a table to the corner of the room. I could put it under there. He thought to himself. He began to place the charge with ease. He was very used to this line of work. Once finished he headed back to the group.

"No enemies this time." Wicket whispered. "Well did you ever find out where that other guy was?"

"No but we need to get out. According to my thermal scan, he is right on us." Riqimo said with fear. "Let's go now!"

Riqimo glanced behind him, by now the group probably though he was paranoid, not a good image for a leader.  Riq almost made it to the stairs when he swung around and saw the thermo person standing at the end of the hallway.  But his left eye, the one without a filter, registered nothing was there.  Cloaking devices...?  Riqimo's mind raced before he realized what he was seeing.  The walls on this level were durasteel, meaning they would reflect thermal back at him...  Geez, talk of being scared of your own shadow, only this time your shadow is a humanoid shape in a variety of red, orange, and yellow hues.

Riqimo nodded an 'all clear' to his group, and took the lead down the stairs to the ground floor.  Easing the stairwell door open, Riqimo stepped into an empty hallway, the last charge point straight at the end of it.  He pointed towards Goblin and gave a motion of "I'll cover you, go ahead."

The largest man of the group held his two silenced pistols at ready as he stalked down the long hallway.  Checking the basic area around him, he tucked one pistol into his belt and proceeded to prime the charge.  After about forty five seconds Goblin returned to the rest of the group, both pistols at ready.

Riqimo scanned the map on his lens quickly and found a back exit, waving a 'follow' motion, he headed towards it.  This building promised to be the easiest, as it was barely used at night, mainly only by techs trying to make a last minute deadline rush. It was an administrative office building after all.  Outside, men were scrambling around, trying to prepare an attack on the groups situated in the hills to the east.  In the chaos, the group of Eclipsers were able to sneak in the dark patches towards a storage building.  Almost there, Riqimo spotted four T2-B repulsorlift tanks headed towards the east gatehouse.  Riq needed to report that to the other two groups, else there might be a problem.

Once inside the empty storage warehouse, Riqimo quickly made contact, "This is lead, do not reply to this message.  Just be aware you have four T2-B tanks coming at you.  Jag should have a nice PLX-2 Portable Missile Launcher, be aware it only has two rounds before you have to reload.  Lead out."

That over with, Riqimo went back to trying to determine where the next couple charges were going...  "Okay, this warehouse is divided into four sections, so we will most likely use on charge per section.  Let's find a nice place for these babies to rest before one hell of a labor arouses for the base."

OOC:

Yeah metaphor needs work

Riqimo peered into the large room, trying to see what was in it, switching to lowlight vision filter he quickly lowered his gun and mumbled, "This is the explosives storage room, don't shoot anything."

Glancing around, he found a nice pile of explosives and had Hawkins prime one of his charges, "All set Doc, I think this little cache should take the whole warehouse out, we can move on to the next building now."

"Okay, you heard him, Eclipse, we are moving to the barracks cluster now.  There are five barracks, two charges per barracks.  To simplify things we place those charges on the outside of the barracks.  I don't exactly want to drop in and socialize."

Riqimo's mind raced with the current mission status, I set one charge... Wicket set two... Three for Goblin, and two for Hawkins... so total of 8, leaving 32 left to place.  Wonderful, almost twenty five percent done. Next charge is mine.

Riqimo heard an explosion that shook the warehouse and he heard a ceiling cave in.  Running to the next room that they would have done, he could tell a mortar shell was fired.  Shaking his head, Riqimo gave an order over the comlink, "Stop firing those confounded mortar shells!  You almost blew us all up!  We will take care of this!"  Riq turned his comlink off before a response could come, still stressed at how close that mortar shell had come to hitting the explosives room of the warehouse.

Jogging out of the death trap warehouse, Riqimo slowed once he reached the exit and peeked out once again at the chaos.  You think they could have a more organized defense plan rather than gather whatever they can and charging... idiots...

Waving yet another 'follow' motion, Riqimo led the group towards the barracks, each one a good distance of 200 meters from the other.  Sneaking between them was going to be difficult... Unless... Riq changed course and came up behind a group of five men smoking cigs talking about the battle outside.  Their uniforms identified them as milita.  Riqimo tapped his head and pointed at the soldiers smoking, the squad nodded that they understood, and fired as soon as Riq did, hitting each one in the head.  Making sure no one noticed, they then pulled the bodies behind the crates and proceeded to borrow the uniforms.

Riqimo looked around the corner, they shouldn't be noticed as out of place in the uniforms, but if they were seen placing charges... there might be a problem.  Riqimo stepped out into the open and started towards the next barracks, ignoring the other soldiers that were running towards the battle on the east side.  From the sound of laser fire and a few screams, it sounded like the other groups were doing their job with efficiency.  Of course having a defensive position against an unorganized opponent almost always put a nice advantage on your side.

Riq's instinct kept a hand on his silenced pistol at all times,  he didn't realize he was doing it, it was just a force of habit carried over from his smuggling days.  The Squad Leader that was alert, even if stressed, was more of a leader to his squad than a squad leader that simply cruised along casually.  All it took was one small detail over looked, one slight misstep and the whole squad is blow up.

Riqimo shook his head slightly, this wasn't the time for those thoughts...  He nodded to Hawkins, who took a charge out from underneath the olive drab uniform and punched a few buttons into it.  In less than a minute, the charge was placed into a bush against the barracks.  Hawkins gave a thumbs up and the squad moved to the other end of the barracks, trying to act casual.  They turned the corner and headed down the other side of the barracks until they reached a cooling system.  Hawkins then opened a hatch and carefully placed another primed charge into it.

"Excuse me, what are you doing?" Riqimo turned around quickly to face a NR officer, who wore the rank of corporal. "Why are you messing with that, when the base is under attack?"

Riqimo stuttered slightly, looking out of the corners of his eye and saw no one in the area.  In one swift fluid motion, the silenced pistol needed to be reloaded once again, and the officers was on the ground before them, silent.  Once again, Riq got strange glances from some of his squad mates, but he ignored them and got Goblin to help him hide the body behind the cooling unit.

Almost there... Riqimo smiled slightly to himself, a familiar grin of a mission going well.  With any luck, he will keep that grin after Eclipse met back at Bizza's Shack after the pull out.

"Riq, is there some reason that you only placed one charge so far?"  Andrew commented, noticing the fatique setting in on the Squad Leader.

"I am just saving them for later, you guys should get yours unloaded before mine are." Riqimo tried to avoid the topic.

"Doc, if you are thinking what I think you are, I do not agree." Hawkins looked straight into Riq's eyes.

"Andrew, I note your concern, but I will give you a direct order, do not worry about me or the charges I am carrying."

Wicket and Goblin came back from the third barracks to the crates where Riq and Andrew were standing by.  Doc nodded to them, "Okay, you two watch here, Andrew will place the next two charges while I cover him."

Andrew cut a quick, disapproving glance at Riq, but said nothing.  The two headed straight for the fourth barracks, an uneasy silence between a caring commander and the trooper believing the commander was taking an unnecessary risk to protect his trooper.  Riqimo was used to that already though, he had the stubborn mindset that he alone was expendable, his troopers were not.  Hawkins set the first charge slowly, as if trying to get Riqimo to think over the situation, but Riq instead focused his attentions on what target would come after the barracks.  The comms tower... four stories, one charge per story as with the administrative offices... Then we will hit the...

The familiar beep of a primed explosive pack interrupted his thoughts, and Riqimo nodded to Andrew to move to the next charge site, where they had to first stand around as if they were waiting for someone before the column of troops moving towards the battle on the eastern wall.  Looks like there is gonna be another massacre...

Once the troops had moved past, Andrew placed his sixth charge of the night and flexed his shoulders before moving back towards the other two Eclipsers with Riq following behind, the weight of the charges clearly taking a toll on the Squad Leader.

Riqimo looked up at the comm tower, four stories plus a large antennae device at the top, when this building would be demolished, the tower on the roof would certainly fall and cause some considerable damage.

"Riq, how are we going to do this one?  With an attack in process there has to be a lot of people in that tower?" Goblin voiced a concern, still keeping a tone of respect.

"Simple, the idiots left a window open over there," Riq pointed to the side of the building where a window barely large enough for a person to squeeze in.  Riqimo was the first in and once he made sure the room was secure, he waved for the others to follow.  Wicket and Hawkins got in without much of a problem, but Goblin took a look at the frame and decided his large build would not squeeze through.

"No problem Gob, just find a place to park yourself, we'll be back in no time at all."  Turning to the two troopers that were with him, the Squad Leader gave instructions, "On this first level I will set the first charge, you two go up on the second floor and set one in the rec room up there, hide in the fridge."

After they nodded understanding, Riqimo left them to venture up the stairs at the end of the hallway.  Looking casual, Riq walking into the bathroom and opened a stall, finding it rather disgusting, he used his foot to flush it and tried the next stall, which was significantly better.  Latching the stall door behind him, Riqimo pulled an explosive pack that was hidden in his pants and began to prime it.  Just before it beeped a ready status, he used his foot to flush the toilet to cover the noise.  Then taking a moment to carefully place the demo charge behind the toilet.  Then shaking his hands quickly, he opened the stall and headed straight for the sinks and washed his hands for about three minutes, before heading up the stairs to catch up with the other two troopers.

Goblin was leaning against the side of the comms tower, smoking a cigarette that he had pulled out a pocket on the borrowed uniform.  He was just enjoying his relaxing time, watching the NR and militia troopers run towards the battle, and the few cowards slipping back towards the rear.  Suddenly there was a thud, and Goblin span with his silenced pistol in his right hand, cigarette in his left.  A man had just fallen beside him, glancing up Goblin saw an open window on the second floor.  Boys...

Shaking his head, Goblin picked the short, red haired tech up and placed him in a nearby cluster of bushes, muttering under his breath, "Can't a guy get a little rest without working?"

...  ...  ...

Riqimo entered the room just as Hawkins and Wicket were walking away from the window, he found it peculiar they would be there, but decided not to ask, "The charge set?"

"Yeah Doc, we got it placed." Hawkins nodded, leaving out the mistake Wicket made earlier in misunderstanding the instructions the Squad Leader gave.

"Great, two floors left then on this building, we got to try and hurry this up a bit, I don't know how long the other groups will last if this keeps up.  Hawkins you place the next charge alone this time, it is on the main frame floor, where are the terminal data is stored.  You understand that stuff better than the rest of us, Wicket and I will go to the fourth floor together and place a charge there.  We'll meet back up outside with Goblin."

...    ...    ...

The group went together up until the third floor, where Hawkins veered off, while Wicket and Riq, who was really starting to show some fatigue, his breathing becoming slightly faster as they climbed the stairs, ventured up another flight.  Hawkins sincerely hoped that Riq was placing the charge, not Wicket.  If he keeps this up, he is going to kill himself and we'll be screwed without knowing his whole plan.

The third level was completely empty, there was no need for a sentient to stand around here, since the mainframes really did not need much guidance.  Finding a simple empty hard drive slot, Hawkins primed a charge and slid it into there.  No need for an elaborate hiding spot, considering techs rarely ventured into the hot depths of the mainframe, the constant humming of the cooling fans making any conversation impossible without shouting.  Closing the case, Hawkins turned back for the stairwell, still thinking that Riqimo must be insane, carrying 8 charges still.

Going down stairs with gravity assisting was significantly easier.  Also, when Wicket was busy with placing the charge, Riqi had secretly taken a large dose of stimulants.  He would be good for a good time, the sweating was already starting to slow, and his breathing and heart beat approached a more acceptable range.  In no time at all, the four Eclipsers were back together and Riq was trying to decide a new target.

Growwwllll... Riqimo's stomach growled softly and the Squad Leader smiled slightly to himself, "This way Eclipse, our next two charges are this way..."  Riq took them through along a few different paths, between the barracks they had already placed charges at earlier and entered a nearby building.

Goblin grinned as soon as he entered, "Great, we can grab a bite to eat while laying charges.  Brilliant, Doc."

Riqimo shrugged, you three go place one somewhere in the kitchen, I'll find a place in this cafeteria somewhere.  Watch out, there may be some cooks in there."  Riqqi stole a glance at the buffet bar, Ohh, that looks heavenly, shame to let it all just go to waste in an explosion...  Got to place the charge first though

Riqimo saw his group proceed into the kitchen's double doors, their pistols held at ready to fire positions.  Letting them do their task, the Eclipse Squad Leader turned to his, Where to place them... hrm. Riqimo drifted closer to the buffet table, the aroma of the food growing stronger with each step.  With a devilish grin, Riqimo grabbed the spoon for some mashed vegetable, and dug a small pit into it.  Placing the serving spoon down, he proceeded to prime the charge before dropping it into the freshly dug crater and then covered it up.  That is going to be a pleasant surprise for anyone hungry.

Eyeing the steak at the other end of the table, Riqimo stole a glance at the kitchen doors then picked up a knife and fork...

Stomachs full after a quick five minute meal, the squad was on the move again jogging towards the garage, blending in perfectly with the chaos of NR and militia troopers either trying to get into action or get an excuse not to.  Stupid unorganized bastards.

The largest building of the base stood before the Eclipsers now, housing every vehicle that the base used, from the fastest speeder bikes to the biggest, and most powerful tanks.  Right now though, they were facing some hover vans, simple little cargo trucks not designed for much more than transporting moderate amounts of supplies and/or personnel from location to location.  There was no need for these vehicles at this moment, luckily, and the four Eclipsers we all alone within the

"Okay, Wicket set a charge over there, against that wall, Goblin against the other one over there near that computer terminal.  Hawkins, you will stand guard while I place one charge myself."  Riq ignored the quiet sigh of Andrew once the Squad Leader had stated he was placing a charge.  You have no idea what I do for my squad, Andrew.  They are literally family to me and intent to keep this family as long as possible.  No way you could understand me without going through what I did...

Pushing his idle thoughts aside for yet another time during this mission, Riqimo shook his head lightly before jogging cautiously up to a cluster of worn, just starting to rust hover vans.  Taking his third charge of the night out of the webbing of the black suit underneath the olive drab militia uniform that he had borrowed earlier, Riqimo proceeded to prime it.  Approximately a minute later, the familiar beep, which had become annoying over the course of the night, signaled to Riqimo that the charge was ready.  Carefully placing the charge underneath a workbench with an array of unorganixed tools scattered across it, Riqimo then proceeded to cover for Goblin who was taking a little time before gathering the group into the next vehicle bay.

"Nice one Jag." Jelly said while shouldering his Deathwind and popping another round in one of the more stubborn soldiers.

A call came over from one of the rebels.

"We got two more speeders on the way!" the shouted over the radio.

"Jag mind taking one out with your Rocket Launcher I'll mark your target with a tracer round." Jelly said loading a tracer magazine into his Rifle and taking aim at the furthest target. The bullet screamed out of  the rifle and embedded itself into the speeder's heavy armor. The tracer started to blink and Jelly uploaded it's beacon to Jag.

Jelly reloaded his armor piercing rounds and aimed into the windshield of the first speeder and fired. Though the bullet only severely cracked the glass. The next bullet broke the glass and went into the passengers shoulder. The speeders where using energy absorption windshields which only worked like regular glass when a weapon that fired bullets hit it. Most believed Slugthrowers  to be ineffective but since most used laser absorbing armor it was pretty easy to kill someone with a slug thrower. Jelly found it rewarding to watch a man's head explode and his brains fly about much more rewarding than a simple sizzling hole.

He fired the rifle again causing the passenger's head to explode backwards then he moved open tot taking out the driver. The gunner didn't realize that he was in trouble until the speeder stopped. A rocket slammed into the speeder blowing the gunner and the rest of the speeder to Kingdom come.

"Good job Jag." Jelly said over the mic as he turned to disable the other speeder so Jag could finish it off. The gunner got a couple shots off  then his head exploded painting the outside of the speeder . This time the passenger was left alive to witness  a  ten pound projectile come screaming at the speeder and destroy it.

"So Doc how much longer yall gonna take with your job?" Jelly asked over the comm killing two more soldiers and the reloading his rifle.

Wicket drove off on the speeder with Hawkins and Goblin in the back. You can do this Doctor. Don't fail us now.. It was still dark outside. With him being a Sullustan, the brightness, or lack there of, would not be a problem. He drove the speeder down to the west part of the base. That's where they would meet up with the resistance group and Jelly's group.

"Wicket! Do you think you can hurry this up?" Hawkins shouted. Hawkins was in a bad mood for some reason. Maybe it had something to do with Riqimo. No one knew what his problem was.

"You know, I don't need your bitching right now. We could get killed if I'm not careful. Do you want to drive instead?!" Wicket shouted back. There was a slight pause in conversation. "Didn't think so! Now someone com Jelly or someone and tell him that we are coming from behind the enemy, so don't attack us."

Wicket handed the comlink to someone in the back of the speeder. Goblin took the com from Wicket's hand. "Jelly come in. This is Goblin." After a few seconds no one answered. "Jelly come in!" Goblin shouted.

"This is Jelly Bean. What do you need." Jelly replied.

"This is Goblin. Just telling you that we will be coming in from behind you. We are meeting up with the forces right now to have them let us through the gate. We are telling them that we are attacking you from behind so that they let us through. We should be there soon." Goblin explained.

"Alright, where is Riq?" Jelly asked.

"He is doing something in the base. He still had his charges to place. He said he would meet up with us when he is finished. In about two hours. And if I don't see him. He told me to complete the mission." Goblin replied.

"You mean blow the place up when he is still in there?! I will not let you do that to my leader and friend!" Jelly said.

Goblin, not wanting to discuss, turned the comlink off. Wicket reached the gate. "Where you goin'" The gate man said.

"We are going to loop around those bastards and attack them from behind." Wicket said with anger and disgust, trying to improve the act.

"Ah I see good idea. They need to be dealt with. Anyway, I'll let you through." The man said. The gate opened.

Wicket sped up and headed towards the group. After a few moments he could see the others. Once close enough, Wicket stopped the speeder and got out. Hawkins and Goblin were in front while Wicket was behind them. a few moments later the group had meet up.

"Hey we're here." Wicket said.
