Up the Tower of Babel

[Burkhart Kelborn]

Location: Kwenn Space Station
Time: N/A
Participants: @Rayne Kelborn , @Burkhart Kelborn
Theme: Start A Riot ♣ The Rescues

The first team has laid the foundation, and now the two mandalorians must finish the rest of the attack. With the other warriors holding any reinforcements at bay, they were free to sweep their way up the station from its lower levels up to its VIP section and control room. Incite a riot, and get to the top through any means necessary—whether it be diplomacy or the blade.

Burkhart was looked over at Rayne to see how she was doing. He had his own light repeating blaster ready. The deck sweeper was no where more at home than on a space faring vessel and if they ended up coming across an enemy presence all he would have to do would be to fill the hall with a wall of blaster fire if need be. However he was sure they were going to be against little resistance at this point. Some choice words here, some fear there, and they would be well on their way to taking the space station. Part of him felt a little at a loss without the lightsabers from before. However sense having turned them in for the bounty he still had his vambraces.

 

[Rayne Kelborn]

Kwenn Space Station​

Rayne's mouth watered as her mind raced on and on about the coming battle, she had developed a love for it, and a fear of not seeing it again; a magnetic attachment to the thought of spilling another's blood.

She'd already ran her pre combat checks, ammo was full, armor was in check and functioning, and weapons were hungry...

Rayne looked back at @Burkhart Kelborn as he glanced at her, he didn't like her, and she knew it. Maybe this operation, the first time they'd ever been alone, would change his mind, but then again maybe not once her saw how savage she'd become lately. Even knowing this she didn't intend to change her tactics one bit.

Holding her Renegade Heavy Blaster Pistol in her right hand, and her Chanti Blaster Pistol in the other she nodded, they were here to kill stuff and make a mess, it was perfect.

Safety's off, let's roll.. Rayne said as she turned her attention forward.

 

[Radth Kelborn]

It was about darn time that he was able to go on another mission after helping the rebels with their evacuation from that one planet. He and Pho had succeeded in stopping two Sith in their tracks and well the two sith are now dead. So here he is once again heading into battle. Radth is looking forward to this mission, from the briefing the mission sounds like it will be a lot of fun.

So as the Kelborn went through his combat pre-check to make sure his Westar Rifle and pistol are ready. The warrior checked to make sure his two extra clips for his rifle and two for his pistol are on his belt. Good they are. Of course his vibroblade is ready. So with that Radth is ready to go.

Turning his attention to the other two Kelborn he said, "I am ready to get started when you are."

[Burkhart Kelborn]

____________

Looking to both of his clan mates he would give a pleased nod. Usually Kelborn operated alone. Each Mandalorian was worth a score of enemy soldiers if not more. Kelborn, if they lived up to their reputation which he hoped his comrades did, were ten times that. They had to be considering their small numbers. It was uncommon for so many of them to be in the same place. "Alright, Oya Ner'vod. Let's hunt my brothers and sisters." He said with a growling smile. On this mission he had his twelve marauders with him as well and they were fearsome in their black and orange armor too, each and everyone one of them.

Moving down the hallway there were scores of civilians. At first they looked to the mandalorians with perplexed expressions. It would look like a small army was moving in. "Get yer loved ones! There's a biohazard leak. The officers are tryin ta seal everything in to keep it from getting out." Some of them were not sure what to make of it, maybe they did not understand him. They backed away from the warriors and murmured to one another. "NOW!" He barked in his most aggressive and deep tone, letting a growl linger afterwards. That got them startled. After they turned and began running, trying to get to safety from a false threat he would fire a few shots with his blaster pistol into the air making more screams happen.

The people would be afraid of the shots fired. The local law would have heard the shots and start thinking the civilians had weapons. They would hold them back which would only cause the civilians to continue to believe what Burkhart had said. The seed of fear was planted and now it was just going to take time to grow.

 

[Rayne Kelborn]

The people had started a half hustle from the area before @Burkhart Kelborn fired a few blasts off, it was a nice touch, it would cause a bit of panic, but Rayne wanted more, she wanted a full on riot.. Holstering her Chanti blaster pistol, Rayne gripped a nearby chair with her left hand. One heavy heave and it sailed through the air, crashing on two civilians that stood near each other in the mass that was pushing against the wall of law enforcement.

That should help.. Rayne said seriously as she once again pulled her Chanti Blaster Pistol out, and continued to march along with the Mandalorian mob they'd formed.

 

[Magnus Hammerhand]

Kwenn Space Station was not the sort of place that Magnus Hammerhand had expected to find himself. However, when it came to following the credits, there was just no telling where one might end up. Hired by some aloof toff to take care of him whilst he attended to 'business' (which Magnus assumed was less than legal), the titanic man was already getting very very bored.

And then he heard it.

The blissful sound of chaos.

"Get yer loved ones! There's a biohazard leak." some deep voice boomed, punctuating their announcement with a sporadic gunshot display, as if to cause panic.

"Wind yer neck in!" Magnus boomed back, his own stature and commanding voice swelling to match that of this newcomer. He hefted his hammer, and faced the interlopers - who no doubt might wish to cause his client some small degree of discomfort, and upon seeing them, his face lit up with barely concealed joy.

Mandalorians.

"Well hot-dang," he chuckled to himself "...this is gunna be fun."

OOC - Gear as in profile.

 

[Radth Kelborn]

A hunt. Now that is an interesting word for a battle or mission. He will have to start thinking of missions as such. It will make them more fun and interesting for sure, "Lead the way. We will do our utmost best to make you proud alor." He will tell Burkhart as the warrior started to follow him. He will follow and do everything that is asked of him. It was a strange feeling to be in the company of his fellow clansmen. It is very rare to see even one from the Kelborn Clan. Well. They will show everyone what the Kelborns can do and why they should fear them.

So this is what they are here for? To cause a riot? Well that is something that he can do. Aiming his Westar Rifle at a set of lights to his left he shot at them, the hits causing the bulbs to shatter as they released sparks that sent the people below fleeing in panic. This is going to be fun the warrior thought. He will pick up a chair with one hand and toss it towards a police officer that came running to the scene.

Then there came the sight of some big brute in their way, "Alor. Looks like someone is not running away. Shall we take him down?" He will ask unsure of what Burkhart was going to have them do. Well Radth wants to face the big guy, that is for sure. He was certain that the Alor and Rayne will want to as well if they are itching for a good fight. Preparing himself for the fight that is to come, Radth aimed his rifle at the bloke that is now blocking their path.

[Burkhart Kelborn]

He already was on alert since they were in enemy territory. Not to mention his own inciting of a riot could come back with hysterical civilians. The Mandalorian had seen morons charge a line of blasters with nothing but kitchen utensils and he was not looking for any chance to get stabbed. But what grabbed his attention was not some cleaver wielding civilian but that there was someone who was about as large as he was. He was wearing brightly colored armor and he seemed well armed. <"I see him. Hold off for now."> He responded to Radth in Mando'a when he made the same observation he did and asked for direction.

With his deck sweep raised and shouldered he sighted down the barrel. If the man made any type of hostile action towards his squad he would open up the full auto weapon. If he did not though, Burkhart would give him the chance to walk away. They were in hostile territory and a possible mercenary could be either someone hired by the opposition or just a soldier of fortune that was going to get hired. "Tha only way ya stay iz onconcious or dead!" He was not sure if he was willing to just take the large being out without using lethal force. He knew if it were him they would have to kill him to take him down.

@Mad Dog @Nommie @Nor'baal​

 

[Rayne Kelborn]

Rayne holstered her Chanti Blaster Pistol, once again, man that thing was starting to get in the way.. I need more arms.. she thought. She then filled her now empty hand with two grenades, one of each, one HH - 69 "Hue hue" Adhesive Grenade and one fragmentation, while she ducked behind an overturned table, this beast brandishing a hammer the size of a small child was likely to be causing a handful of problems, unlucky for him, he was heavily outnumbered by a force of already superior super soldiers.. the Mandalorians.

The thing had responded in some sort of broken language that Rayne didn't understand, If you can understand me.. Put that hammer down and you can walk off.. there's no scenario where you swing that thing and live.. Rayne called to him.


@Darasuum @Nommie @Nor'baal

 

[Magnus Hammerhand]

Standing in the rapidly emptying room, Magnus was very much aware that he was outnumbered by the Mandalorians, however - in his limited view, he was by no means outclassed. One of their number had already resorted the throwing chairs at law enforcement officers, before asking what Magnus assumed was the groups leader, whether or not they should 'take down' the Hammerhand. Magnus snorted with derision at the dismissive nature by which they perceived him: the bigger the pride, the harder the fall.

The chair chucking charlatan then had the audacity to aim a rifle at him.

How rude.

The leader was next, a heavy set fellow with as short a temper as the others. Likewise, he to raised a rifle in Magnus' direction, adding a little more preassure to the scenario that was playing out before them. "Tha only way ya stay iz onconcious or dead!"

And finally, a third Mandalorian decided to unhitch a collection of greandes and then duck behind an overturned table. All the while, people continued to try and exit the room, sporadic collection of law enforcement officers torn between holding the line, or running away. In Magnis' eyes, that made them irrelevant to the field of play entirely.

"Well," Magnus took a step forward, keeping his hammer low so as to not appear threatening "thing is," he kept hold of the hammer, lowering it a little further "...no need to cause a fuss." he raised his free hand slowly, keeping his palm flat as he did so. "I am just here to look after my fella, guy up in room 221. Names Mannix, if you ain't here for him, I reckon," the large man shrugged "...we ain't got a problem?"

 

[Qsan Torobah]

Q'san stood over the sink of his room within the space station, paid for for the purpose of gaining intelligence, through extended stay reconnaissance. He had been employed to help train the security team, and was paid with access to a free room, and food service during his stay. In its holster, he kept his SGB-1 Scatter blaster, on his right hip, angled for a cross draw, with a Pugio Blaster Pistol on his left hip in similar fashion. Next to him was his Javelin Repeater, readily equipped with a two-point sling. He donned his blacked out armor, with his side cape obscuring his left arm, with his wrist blade mechanism. Before grabbing his rifle, he lifted his helmet over his head and locked it in place, kicking on the targeting HUD, and displaying his Jump boot fuel in the opposite, bottom corner.

With the systems of his personalized Sith Enforcer Armor all online, Q'san grabbed his rifle, and went to step out of his room, when he began hearing someone shout about a gas leak, followed by gunshots, down the hallway, about 20 meters down the hallway from Q'san. He would exit his room, and see a very large, and obviously Deucalian individual shouting in defense of the space station. Positioning himself behind the Deucalian, he would crouch and run forward about ten meters, and stopping behind the indentation of a door and doorway, standing behind it, ready to sight his rifle the moment he saw an opening. He kept his wits about him, using his rangefinder and 4x zoom to identify the one Burkhart Kelborn, the Mandalorian madman behind the attack on the Sith Academy on Korriban. He'd been told by his superiors to keep an eye out for him. Q'san was lucky to not have found him in the company of his Basilisk Droid, though he would be a challenge in and of himself, regardless. With more than a few Mandalorians in his company, Q'san had his work cut out for him. Hopefully the big lug of a Deucalian proved to be an asset, rather than a liability.

 

[Rayne Kelborn]

Rayne saw the man in the Sith Enforcer Armor come up behind the Deucalian, in Rayne's experience, she'd never seen one that wasn't a Sith puppet. His words, broken as they may be were worthless to Rayne.

Using her index and ring finger, she primed both grenades, then overhand threw them at the pair of men who stood to oppose the Mandalorian liberation of this platform, she then followed it with two blasts from her Renegade Heavy Blaster Pistol to the brute's midsection..

The grenades landed within range to possibly affect the giant man, the fragmentation grenade exploding on impact, followed closely by the set off of the adhesive grenade, which if successful, the brute even an large as he was, would be pinned in place, at least for a while.

 

[Sabrina K]

Sabrina had just come here on a shuttle, she was wearing her sith armour. She had lightsaber clipped to her belt, and was sat down. She had been talking to her friend Hask, as they coming here to learn how to extract information from prisoners. They where looking forward to the challenge, after all being sith was about challenging yourself, and growing stronger. Though you fail become weaker you become irrelevant and dead. As the shuttle pilot docked, she got up and went to the ramp. The doors opened, and made that traditional hissing sound, as the two pressure equalised, from space station and the shuttle.

As doors fully opened, she walked down the ramp. She then was greeted by an ensign, Acolytes, the station is under attack by Mandalorians, your assistance is required. Mandalorian why are they trying to poke us, she thought to herself. She looked at Hask, and said Well so much for the relaxation part of our trip, tell the pilot to keep the shuttle ready. Just in case things go south. She was not coward, but was she not stupid ether. They where vast in number, and more of them may be here, than new about. Also this place was full of people who did not like sith, namely the prisoners she came to extract information from. She did not want to put down a prison riot, and find herself at wrong end makeshift blade.

She began moving towards the battle, they where in the hallway. They have also been engaged with some of empires finest. She and Hask where moving, to cut them off at the other end of the hallway they where fighting in. So they could not advance further, without going through any of them. She used force speed to get their quickly, as she did not want them to get away, or get any further. As she got to last corner of where they fighting psych herself up, for the fight to come. mandalorians after all, where famous for the combat skills.

[Hask Jen]

Hask was sitting in the shuttle along with Sabrina, checking his helmet, gauntlets and chestplate to make sure they were secure and ready for action.

The shuttle touched down and he shouted to the pilot "Pilot, keep her idling and be ready. I have a feeling that we're going to need a quick getaway if things go south!"

He pulled his lightsaber into his left hand and started running after Sabrina through the hallways toward the fight, staying close on her heels.

This was going to be a fight to remember.

[Radth Kelborn]

Well this was starting to intensify rather quickly, first the Deucalian blocked their path and speaking to them in some broken speech of his. Then a Sith Enforcer arrived on the scene. But he is not the one that will strike first as Rayne was the first to try to draw blood with a two grenade combo and fire from her blaster pistol. Just in case her move was to backfire, Radth moved to duck behind a partially opened door way that jammed halfway, to Burkhart's right. It is not completely affective but it will provide him with some cover. He started to wonder if it was a good idea to bring her along knowing that while grenades are terrifying and destructive they can be dodged or if the opponent is gutsy enough, send the explosive right back. His aim though will not be for the big brute. No he is going to try to take out the Sith Enforcer.

Peeking out from the shelter of the doorway, the warrior will aim his Westar Rifle in the direction of Q'san. Squeezing off three shots as fast as he could in the direction of the Imperial, he aimed for the man's upper body. With the Imperial being focused on Burkhart, he might not see the shots if he is not paying attention to his surroundings. Now he did faintly hear the sound of shuttle engines, but he did not perceive that as being a threat.

[Reyna Solus]

Sitting inside of the shuttle Reyna lifted her wrist to check her chrono. Beneath her helmet her face formed into a scowl, displeased with the current time and the seemingly clandestine pace the shuttle seemed to be traveling. Things had been taking too long, at least for Reyna, so she decided to go have a look for herself. Either something was happening or people were being lazyasses and taking their dear old time. Either way, Reyna would take care of it.

When the shuttle arrived, there was really only one way for Reyna to go. Heading down a hallway, it wasn't long before she could hear the sounds of fighting. Gripping her shriek hawk, Reyna made a dash towards the noise. As she ran, the sounds became louder. There was only a corner separating her from them now. "You were taking too long. Friendly incoming." Reyna was speaking on a common Mandalorian channel, one the Sith wouldn't hear but the Kelborn's probably would. Even if they didn't, not liked she looked like a Sith anyway.

As she approached the final corner, Reyna prepared herself to react to whatever was going on around it. Anything not wearing a T-visor was probably going to die, as far as she was concerned.

[Burkhart Kelborn]

____________

Burkhart did not like repeating himself. On top of that the burly man had taken a step forward after the Kelborn Mandalorian had generously given him a chance to walk away. This was enemy territory and anybody that was not Mandalorian was not an enemy. He did not worry about the following consequences of his actions. His job was to keep his clan members safe and to complete his mission.

On top of his own suspicions a Sith would come into view beyond him. The sith could see him and that meant the Mandalorian could see him too. Burkhart would move to his own right and keep the body of the mercenary between him and the sith so if the new arrival wanted to fire on him he would just strike the Deucalian man. The yellow armored mercenary would get out the amount of speech to utter "I'm just here-" before Burkart would pull the trigger and let loose five consecutive light bolts into the man's large and bright chest that he had let stay open. (@Nor'baal ) Don't test a Kelborn. He would keep his finger on the trigger so if the Deucalian somehow managed to dodge, or perhaps just drop to his death, the stream of bolts would continue past him and strike the Sith (@Gian Greydragon ) who would not even see them coming do to the armored flesh shield that stood between them. Rayne's actions soon followed after his own as would Radth. Another R named individual piped up over the communications link during the events but Burkhart would just click his teeth over the link in confirmation.

@Mad Dog @Nommie @Nor'baal @Sabrina @KinkyPrawn @Gian Greydragon​

 

[Sabrina K]

The pilot on the ship, he was still inputting the hyperspace coordinates for korriban. He was getting the engines ready, incase they needed to make a quick getaway. While he was doing this, the ship was being refueled, so they have no problems getting back. They knew if things went south, they would need to escape in a hurry, and come back with reinforcements, to retake this facility.

She heard the gunfire from round the corner, so she unclipped her lightsaber from her belt, and ignited her crimson bladed lightsaber. As she stepped out she saw confrontation of Mandalorians with Imperial forces. She used the force to pull the fragmentation grenade back to its thrower. This would allow the grenade to detonate close to Raynes body and interrupt her heavy blaster fire on the Deucalian. Also, since she was ducked behind a table and in the middle of focusing her fire on Magnus, she would have little defense against the recalled grenade. Sabrina did not move forward into them, as she was unsure the area effect of that weapon.

The force pull would be a quick and easy application for the trained Sith. After it was completed, Sabrina shifted her attention towards the others in preparation for incoming dangers from the group of Mandalorians or new comers from the hallways.
@Darasuum @Logan @Nommie @KinkyPrawn @Mad Dog @Gian Greydragon @Nor'baal

 

[Hask Jen]

Hask skidded along the polished durasteel floor right up next to Sabrina, then proceeded follow her suit and force-pulled the adhesive grenade back towards it's thrower alongside her, right before it could explode onto the bulwark of a Deucalian.

Recalling the grenade back towards Rayne would be a quick and simple exertion of force power by the trained Sith.

The sounds of armored troops coming down the hall adjacent to them could be heard, especially given the short distance between them. Hask would be prepared to defend against this new threat should it be hostile, lightsaber held defensively while he drew the force around him.

"Here we go..."

@Darasuum @Logan @Nommie @Sabrina @Gian Greydragon @Mad Dog @Nor'baal

 

[Qsan Torobah]

The first shots fired would have been those that took his Mercenary partner out of the fight. Those shots that flew by came close enough to Q'san to warrant him moving further into cover, each of them either flying down the hall, into the crowd, or into the wall in front of , and behind Q'san, as he was already behind cover. The three (3) shots fired on Q'san were from Radth, whose bolts simply slammed into the wall that was Q'san's cover. His cover was also out of both the range of the explosives.

It was only after drawing his SGB-1, powered on and set to slugshot, that he came out of cover, partially, bracing the weapon on his shoulder. He held the weapon in tight, bracing the weapon on the handguard, not unlike what one might with a rifle, and its magazine-well, in doing so, he minimized his presentation to his enemies, while maintaining tight control over his weapon system, revealing to them, only a portion of his helmet, and the barrel of his gun. He fired a tightly clustered trio of bolts at Burkhart's center of mass, after Magnus fell unconscious and opened up a target for him to utilize, and resetting his point of aim on the Mandalorian and firing again.
