Ask Ciutric-City Break

[Arthos Vizsla]

Some people had more credits than they had braincells or balls and it was an unsung fact of life that there were more of those people than there were people with all of their shit together.

Sitting with his back against a tree on the edge of the estate owned by one of the many noble families of the planet Ciutric. One of the leading members of a faction that stood opposed to another faction of people with far more credits than they had sense. The only difference between the two factions, as far as Arthos could tell, was that this faction refused the envoys of the Mandalorian people to ally with them.

Their enemies had not refused.

Which meant the only thing stopping their chosen allies from taking control of the planet and joining the resurgent Mandalorian territories was one noble family and their supporters. All of whom were supposed to be attending a "gala dance" as a cover story for a meeting behind closed doors that would allow them to strategize a plan of attack against their enemies.

Arthos picked up his helmet from where it had been resting beside him and held it in his hand, the young man eyeing the metal before pulling himself up to his feet with a grunt of effort.

"There's going to be women and children here for the dance they're using as a cover story." he spoke to his allies, "Vote we keep any heavy firepower behind and we go in quiet. Kill the ones who need killing and anyone who gets in our way - then leave."

Killing women and children in orbital bombardments was an unfortunate fact of war but Arthos was still young enough to believe that a line should be drawn and he drew it at killing women and children, knowingly.

[Van'Aria Solus]

A War on such a untouched Planet was a tragedy, yet War is within every Mandalorian's blood, it is like a kiln the heart of a Mandalorian, when a spark falls it ignites with a will that goes beyond a Person, beyond a Creed, beyond a Clan, it is a collective come together of a Culture, one that cannot be eradicated aslong as Man exists.

Not too far from Arthos stood Van'Aria, she had been keeping a close eye on the young man just as much as her Sister ever since she arrived with them on this lush Planet, it was her duty to do so or so she felt, both of them shared a very distinct thing, they were both young and she feared that they would still be subject to hesitation even if the Training instilled in them would ring true.

Her hands folded between her back she had abstained from even touching her Helmet since all three came together, likely not something unusual for Arthos, yet there was something curious about her, being such a devout devotee to "the way" she did not question his choice of taking it off, infact she had been mostly if not entirely silent up to this point.

"Gar jorhaa'ir asas ba'hak cad olyay sarlu'agr o'r mies ma'yav." She finally turned around to address him, hands still behind her back as she looked up at him, he was tall but not that much taller which was generous. "d'adara be a daginide Graka olaror ti buirkan, solus ibac dabay beja bat cuun busmi'a letyrs."

She peered into him, it felt as though she could see right through him and her eerily calm and monotonous voice made it not easier to relax in her presence.

She saw in him potential but she wondered if he was willing to fully follow the path of improvement, not willing to pester him with it on a Mission she reached for her Smartpad and pulled it forth, her Hands went to work as she navigated it with routine pulling up a outside Map of their Objective.

"Buskra'amtu vaal guhyav o' meh cuun e'yatida'yagr e'lkira bic cuyir olyranr ogir malyasa'yr cuyir a hra'ne bu'yi'da'yr be Ta'na'oaragr at cara cuun o'ir, bic cuyir carwirbi ibac cuun Watyametr otahya at urcir vaal O' meg dinuir mhi hukaatir be Werde."

She began mapping out a Perimeter of potential patrol routes almost naturally, whilst she was in no position to lay claim to Leadership over this group her voice and mannerisms came with natural qualities of such, she then gestured forth for everyone to memorize and strategize, she wanted thoughts, words, pushing forth a plan birthed from a single mind can work but one forged in tandem is as strong as steel.

[Vidha Solus]

Vidha peeked over Van'Aria's shoulder to look at the datapad. "There will probably be guards posted at every entrance," she said. She looked up at the other two. "Maybe one of us could stage a distraction?" she suggested. She really was not good at this planning thing; for better or worse she usually flew by the seat of her pants. "I'm good at causing distractions, so if that's what we're going to do, I could do that," she continued. Might as well volunteer for the role she had created.

She did not know Arthos as well, but he seemed like a good, rational guy. Her sister, however... she wondered how Van'Aria felt about Arthos removing his helmet. Van'Aria was probably the most devout Mandalorian Vidha knew.

[Arthos Vizsla]

Arthos eyed the two members of the Solus clan warily. Why was it he was seemingly forever getting involved with members of Clan Solus? Ah because they were so active of course. He frowned ever so slightly before deciding that he could share with them a little bit. There would be no baring of his soul to the two Solus Mandos but he refused to go into battle with so little understanding between Vod.

"I fought on Lothal - first conquest of the crusade." he admitted as he brushed some dirt off of his helmet, "We opened hostilities by murdering a helpless mother and child. It say with me ill."

He hated it.

The conquest of Lothal itself had been glorious and righteous in the old ways of Mandalore but killing defenceless people was against his own ways. Mandalore was all-but dead and the Mandalorian people needed people - they needed people to join them, to strengthen them. To kill them so needlessly was a waste of the resource that his people lacked more than any other; people.

Pulling his helmet into place, Arthos strapped the helmet down tightly before assessing what was being discussed. At length he hummed once.

"The distraction itself would need to be quiet, localized to just those guards we need to move away." he cautioned, "If we use loud distractions, we might as well go loud right from the start. I say we think like Mandalorians - we approach from the top. Drop from one of our ships, use jetpacks to slow us down in bursts, and land atop the roof. Security will be lighter there than anywhere else and we can grab a guard and force them to talk."

He gestured to the building ahead of them.

"See those windows at the top layer? That looks like a smaller room atop the main hall. Bet beskar that's where they step out to have private meetings."

@Reylo4evr @Bread

 

[Vidha Solus]

Vidha nodded as Arthos spoke; he seemed very intelligent. "There is only one issue- I don't possess a jetpack," she said. Her fur cape hung flat against her back, proving her point. She crossed her arms over her chest. She really needed to get one.

@Nefieslab @Bread

 

[Van'Aria Solus]

What Arthos spoke made Van'Arias eyes glint behind that visor, more reinforcement that the way the Mandalorian people were led being inadequate reinforced her inner thinking and now that it was so plainly laid it made her wonder how many of her fellow Mandalorians would rally to the cause she forged in her mind yet she kept it hidden.

Tucked away in her mind for now she had to see if Arthos was capable first and whilst she trusted his word to have fought during the Conquest of Lothal a single battle does not decide ones Career if all it could scar someone so deep down that their fighting could forever change until they break apart from the inside.

"Ni ganar susulur gar miit a'yaou." She peered deep into Arthos, it was hard to judge what she meant and even harder to judge her intention. "Mando Adate cuyir dibina, bic hwa va cuyir bid. Mhi cuyir gupu hra'nagr, bal jii mhi dagu be'saya na at kebise ibac ru uhyih Mando. O'r ner jarkiv gar malyasa'yr ayalya nayc mias kebise. Ibac Ni srusala."

Her voice rung true yet her words... they almost seemed apprehensive to the ideals of those in current leadership yet she spoke them with such clarity and intent that it seemed like she was determined to stop at naught to make them reality.

Children, People they are naught less nor more than Mandalorians a culture one that is the exemplification of a Person willing to dedicate themselves wholy to something that they believe in and immortalize it, and thinking back she remembered the elder teachings, children just as much as foundlings... are the future.

Pulling a hand into a fist with a gesture she enhanced the depiction of the blueprint and in tandem marked out two entry points on the Roof that could be very much a place to start alternatively there were also two balcony entries that made things easier, she concurred with Arthos, the Small Room above the second Foyer near the roofing seemed like the most plausible meeting area for something like this, she then looked over to Vidha tilting her head.

"Gar ru drala o'r atyaor Ga'ihlr ganar gar? Ibac btarida gar guralyu'anr."

This complicated their planning... she had an idea but it was a risk to take, a swan dive maneuver where Van'Aria simply plucked Vidha out of the Air right afore they landed but that would put strain on the Jetpack and could backfire.

"Bic liser cuyir narir ta' nadarna, Biai laamyc liser gar pabida mhi ures le'iryu lo bu'ceva?" She asked Arthos, High altitude drops are less likely to be noticed than those done on the planets surface but it also meant that the Pilot had to know what he is doing.

@Nefieslab @Reylo4evr

 

[Arthos Vizsla]

Arthos just stared at Vidha for a moment before shrugging and gesturing to his own back - he was also currently not equipped with a jetpack after all. Instead he pointed up to the skies.

"We have three corvettes and a frigate stationed in orbit for 'refit and refuel'." he advised the other Mando, "We can get the supplies we need from them and have them on standby to level the place if plan A goes to hell."

Plan A was often the plan that went to hell after all.

He eyed Van'Aria for a moment beneath his helmet, assessing her as she did the same to him but where she spoke, Arthos didn't. Instead he kept his thoughts on the matter to himself beyond his initial comment, merely grunting once in acknowledgement of what she had said. On its own it meant nothing after all - but it could spread and grow into something far beyond what had actually been said.

Arthos would let it grow before he judged anything.

"Height isn't a problem." he assured her before gesturing for the two members of Clan Solus to follow him, whereby he would lead them back to his parked ship, "We have the supplies here and my ship can do the actual drop - my Ad can get us there."

Stepping onto his ship, he nodded in greeting to his Ad, a man the two members of Solus would note was actually a fully grown man. Arthos was more than ready to have the fight he often had with traditionalists about adopting a warrior merely months younger than himself but he hoped not to. As his Ad started flying the ship up, Arthos handed a jetpack to Vidha and gestured to Van'Aria.

"Assist your vod in affixing it." he told her as he affixed his own jetpack firmly in place, "We're going to be as high as we possibly can be and we'll be dropping straight down. Don't spread your limbs - you'll catch more resistance and throw yourself off the dropzone."

@Reylo4evr @Bread

 

[Van'Aria Solus]

She raised a brow beneath her Visor, no answer was a sign of either contemplation or doubt in her words and she wondered what it was that compelled him, either way it meant that they somewhere took root, where exactly was unsure to her as of yet but she hoped that with time she could supplant those roots into big an strong beliefs.

"Jigr ibic me'suum at Bark'a malyasa'yr tarba Manda'yaim vetr, mhi hwa narir an o'r cuun kot at bralir o'r cuun aka bal va dagu be'saya na at mias."

Following him to his Ship she placed a single boot on the Ramp as he spoke about their companion, she tilted her head infact at the sight of them.

Whilst Arthos likely expected her to speak up on it she did not, why? She believed that it was his choice to make what he believed and what he did, if it aligned with the ultimate good of the Mandalorian People it mattered naught if he restricted himself to Tenets some follow and others dont, what they needed is Unity not bickering over what was right or wrong, the Future was forged through action not words.

"Utreyar gar tkiriyr be dilyragr, vaii mhi slanar mhi ne'waadas ohlyrase sur'ar, meh dema o'ba'a gar Tkiriyr jivaor tec kak bal tkiriyr na kak be meg gar cuyir, bic malyasa'yr sarsala ma waev kot gar ne'waadas."

She stepped behind Vidha and if she permitted would begin preparing her backplating for the mounting of the Jetpack, she then reached for said Jetpack and if permitted fitted it to her, shortly afterwards she would reach down to grab hold of one of her Vambraces.

"Gar malyasa'yr ganar at weah y'ibyi yaarun suabaiy solus be gar Arsitar e'yar'u mies, meh Ni cuyir at d'as'ina gar at gteda."

As she went to work she looked over to Arthos, feeling the slight shift of the Ship as it flew, she nodded in affirmation to his advice, he was right and she was thankful that he took the stage to explain which meant she could concentrate on making sure she affixed that Jetpack proper.

@Nefieslab @Reylo4evr

 

[Vidha Solus]

Vidha let Van'Aria put the jet-pack on her back, and removed one of her vambraces like Aria had told her. She was quite excited to use a jet-pack for the first time but tried (and failed) to hide it. "So we drop onto the roof, what then?" she asked.

@Darsuum @Bread

 

[Arthos Vizsla]

Arthos also needed to replace a piece of his currently equipped armor in order to actively use the jetpack - he slid off the control unit and emitter for his wrist gauntlet before sliding on the control unit for the jetpack instead. His jetpack then fit smoothly to his back, its controls syncing up flawlessly with the control unit on his left wrist. Adjusting himself slightly so the jetpack didn't ride uncomfortably, Arthos also took the time to pick up a Galaar-35 Carbine from the stockpiles he had taken from one of the corvettes.

"Carbines are out." he offered Vidha and Van'Aria, "Keep them if you need them."

Strapping the ammo for the carbine to his waist with the ammo for his blaster pistol, Arthos rolled his head a little bit as the ship they were in rapidly gained altitude. He was far too used to flying to be bothered by the way his ears popped but he did seal his helmet a little tighter.

"When we land on the roof we descend to the front row of windows. We must confirm our targets are present. If they are? Spread out along the windows and label targets. I'll call the ship back for a close-pick up and we can jetpack up into its cargo bay before it flies off." he declared, "With the speed at which it'll travel they won't have time to check its registration data."

If they weren't there?

"If our targets are elsewhere then we use the top windows as insertion point."

A green light came on inside his helmet as the pilot sent him a message and Arthos opened it quickly before moving over to the cargo bay ramp as it opened. Wind rushed into the hold as the planet stretched out below them, the complex they were aiming for barely notable from this height.

"Good luck, Vod."

Arthos stepped off the ramp and plummeted toward the ground.

@Reylo4evr @Bread

 

[Van'Aria Solus]

Fastening the Control Unit for her Jetpack onto Vidha, she had done this over and over again for other people given that she had instructed and taught people how to fly more than how to fight, it felt intrinsic, natural and just as they approached ever closer to action her mind shut out unnecessary distractions, her chatter turned quiet and purpose took over, she ran a quick diagnostic to see if everything was synched up properly for Vidha before giving her a pat on the side giving her green light so to say.

"Nadata bic nitayu at."

Van'Aria gave a final run of her Gear, she made certain her Grenades were each at their correct position and checked if her Blasters were loaded correctly, nodding once to herself she had no need for an additional Blaster but an extra pack of munitions for either of her Blasters she would not say no to, it was then that she took shuffled forth one of the Blasters nestled in her Holsters and pulled on the back portion of it folding what at first looked like a slide out to a fully fledged stock, turning pistol into carbine.

She preffered the Ranger for this exact versatility, she could easily carry it whilst also turning it into a smaller weapon whenever she needed to, she closed her eyes briefly as she felt them move ever so slightly the elevation had changed rapidly and to those not used to it it could cause a multitude of issues but much like Arthos she was used to it.

Giving a mild rythmic knock to her breastplate, and just as her checkup was done Arthos already went to prepare for their initial drop as the loading ramp descended, it was not overlong that the first of them jumped and almost simultanously Van'Aria jumped after him her arms tugged in against her sides as she directed herself like a arrowhead plummeting through the sky, it was during their fall that she pressed a button on her Vambrace linking up a Commlink between the three.

"Tkiriyr gar kubanr. Vidha gar malyasa'yr rusur gaht. Ni malyasa'yr hiibir wasuur, mhi be'buha na meh mhi enteyor gotal'ur a tomyc o'ir. Tkiriyr na kak, obiya itg'arya akay, 'kay va mhi cuyir bathas bic cuyir vagale."

She had not a doubt in her mind that they would succeed, because there was simply no other option in her mind until it must be so and as of current thinking of anything else is a distration.

@Reylo4evr @Nefieslab

 

[Vidha Solus]

Vidha nodded and smiled at her sister from underneath her helmet, even though Van'Aria couldn't see her. "I'm always very careful with your belongings," she teased, before tightening her belt and fastening more ammo on it and around her boot. The jetpack had synced up with the controls for the rest of her armor. She nodded. "North it is," she said, before jumping out, following Arthos. The wind blew her fur cape up behind her and she couldn't help the whoop of excitement that escaped her.

@Nefieslab

[Arthos Vizsla]

Dropping through the air like a beskar-plated meteorite was never NOT fun.

Feeling the wind rushing against him, powerless to stop him from plummeting toward his target? Arthos enjoyed flying his ship because of the speeds he could achieve, because he knew that if he was any less skilled piloting at those speeds? He'd be dead. But he wasn't because he was good.

He was damn good and he lived for the speed.

Across the com lines within their helmets, Vidha and Van'Aria would both be able to hear the chuckle he had to himself as he rapidly spun through the air, essentially entertaining himself on the way down. As the target came into focus however, he righted himself with a spin at almost the last second, using the jetpack in controlled bursts as he rocketed downward at an almost unsafe velocity.

Almost unsafe.

Landing with a slightly bending of his knees, Arthos grabbed onto the side of the window that he had picked out as his insertion point. Looking through the window, he gazed down at the room and the people within. It was a smaller party than the one further downstairs and already he could pick out certain named targets for the mission. There were waiters and the like who weren't on the target list... but casualties were expected.

He'd rather kill everyone in that room than needlessly depopulate the planet of the multitudes who would be led by these blind nobles to fight against the Mandalorians. Arthos moved to the side of the window as he drew his carbine and checked the ammo was full - and the rounds lethal.

"Team - check in." he called over the coms, "We have five major targets and approximately thirty minor targets. Shout out your targets. I'm taking the major target closest to the doors on the south side. Once they're gone we execute everyone else in the room - we can afford no witnesses."

Shock, awe, smash and leave.

"For Mandalore - Oya!"

When the team were in position he would spin back into the window, smashing it open with his forearm before opening fire. The first two shots tearing apart the nobleman he had called as his target. He didn't even wait for the shots to hit before beginning to pick off people who were closest to the doors.

No survivors.

No witnesses.

@Bread @Reylo4evr

 

[Vidha Solus]

Vidha knew the others could hear her whoop of excitement, and it sounded like Arthos was enjoying himself too. Once she was a reasonable distance from the roof, she used her vambrace controller to use the jetpack in short bursts; her first one was too much and nearly carried her back up into the sky. She snickered at herself and got the hang of it.

She landed on the roof less gracefully than Arthos had, nearly falling backwards off the ledge outside the window. She leaned against the wall of the building next to the window and gathered herself for a moment. She turned to the window and saw everyone inside wearing elegant clothing as servers walked amongst them. She immediately noted the targets Arthos had mentioned over the com, and loaded ammo into her gun without looking, keeping an eye on the unsuspecting targets.

The fun was over; it was time to take care of business, and Alor knew she was spectacular at that. She shouted a war cry that was no words really, just her shouting passionately. She followed Arthos into the room, covering him as some of the guards opened fire to defend the targets.

@Nefieslab @Bread

 

[Van'Aria Solus]

The Air around her contracted, she felt the drag and the fall with every cell in her body, for the briefest of moments she was... wasn't there, she felt herself somewhere else, there was once a name they gave her, she rarely shared it because it was dear to her and it would only embody her devotion to flight.

She slowed herself down just a little bit so the two of them could overtake her by a long shot, the reason behind that being... that she didn't plan on staying behind yet she overlooked their tactics, the more she knew the more in tune could she act, descending just enough to be at a safe distance she tilted herself upright giving a single controlled burst of thrust upwards as she came up on the roof, it was just enough to slow herself down to not crash into said roof.

her silhouette immedietly obscured itself as she hunched over weapon in hand setting herself into motion towards a large skywindow which she chose as her own insertion point, when Arthos called through their link She looked down into the grouping of people, Grenades would be too much noise, too much chaos... staying up here would take too long to get everyone down there killed so she had a plan which was most likely not the most well received.

"Ke serim gatle, Ni cuyir gotal'ur yarsa. Temya'r meh gar gatle vercopa a Ni malyasa'yr slanar vaii a Mando akarya'a."

And as soon as Arthos opened fire she let herself fall onto the Skywindow taking herself... alongside the window into the room as she breached inside with her body, and just as she fell she leveled her Carbine in a solemn aim letting two shots fairly rip into the nearest two individuals she found leaving behind singing holes in either of the two's torso's followed by a audible THUMP of their bodies falling over.

Chaos ensued, and just as she hit the floor, her gaze lifted and locked onto two significantly more noble individuals rushing her way, conveniently... no absolutely calculated she had chosen to drop right infront of the western most exit and now that exit was obstructed by the entiriety of her frame and her blaster.

"Confound it! We ne-"

Afore one of them could finish their sentence she rushed forth placing another two well aimed shots to the knees of one of them followed by a hearty kick to the abdomen for the other, she had her side of the Room under control, the rest now had to perform their part.

 

[Vidha Solus]

Vidha shot at a target that tried to run past her, leaving a burning hole in their back. She smacked a server in the face with her vambrace as she charged toward one of the exits. She shot down another target that had been trying to escape and kicked their body away from the door. The room was absolute chaos, and in their fear, everyone in the room was stupid; running towards the exits that Vidha and Van'Aria guarded.

She noticed one young woman who looked to be about Vidha's age trembling underneath a table. The girl looked at Vidha with pure terror in her eyes and Vidha hesitated, considering the girl. A shout from one of her fellow warriors snapped her out of it and she turned her attention back to the fight. Deep in some part of her, she knew she would have a more difficult time killing the people if she looked to long at them, especially if they were innocent servers. But it had to be done.

For Mandalore.

@Darasuum @Bread

 

[Arthos Vizsla]

Time to get amongst them.

Firing down on an enemy from a vantage point was nothing if not effective but Arthos wasn't about to waste ammo forcing people to leave their meagre cover just to make sure he got the kills he needed. At the end of the day, they needed to make sure that everyone was dead. If even one person lived to tell of the Mandalorians coming in like the angels of death that they were then it would be a reason for their loved ones to opposed an alliance to the Mandalorians.

No, it was better if the people behind the killings never got out.

Descending from the window, Arthos continued to lay down fire into people as they tried to escape. Coming in to land, he landed heavily on the ground beside Vidha as the woman seemed to freeze, looking at something underneath a table. Eyes narrowing underneath his helmet, he kicked the table over when the woman moved away from it. The serving woman let out a shriek and Arthos understood.

He understood why Vidha had frozen.

He understood why she didn't want to kill someone who was just here as a waitress.

He understood...

He still did what she could not and pulled the trigger, shattering the waitress' head and splattering it across the floor.

Arthos caught Vidha's eye and nodded once. He understood why she had frozen but there was no time for them to be acting on their thoughts and feelings now - they could afford to think on their actions when they were done. When they could come up for air again from battle.

As the last of the people originally in the room fell like a puppet with its strings cut, Arthos moved to the doors around the room and quickly locked each other them. Already he could hear people from outside the room rushing through the corridors, the sounds of blasters and screams having caught some people's attention.

"We're done here - lets go!" he called out in Basic with a carefully chosen Coruscanti accent, one that would be heard through the doors, "Through the passageways we found!"

As he was speaking, he used Mandalorian sign language to tell both of his allies to follow him back up as he used his jetpack to jump right back out the hole in the window he had made. By the time the guards were able to break down the doors, they would be halfway to the pick up point with his ship and those opposing Mandalorian alliance would be leaderless with only "coreworlders" to blame.

@Reylo4evr @Bread

 

[Van'Aria Solus]

One deep breath after the other, Van'Aria went to work, her motions became almost robotic in its fluidity of execution as she never truely lingered long over a freshly executed victim, Women or Men, she did not discriminate no matter the age or disabilities found in them she blocked every distraction out as she sought to give the purest display of absolute horror to those present.

Striding down the idle lane leading away from the Doorway she guarded she effectively purged it of the living as they rushed into her arms seeking a way out which could only be reached by going through her and that... that was a trip down a firing line.

Blowing holes into heads and torso's there was little that did not look gruesome as many of those present wore no potential protection of the blasters that the Mandalorians brought into the affair, it was a massacre that was for certain even if Arthos earlier had wished this to prevent a Massacre he would come to realize this was no different.

Another more resolved member of the gathering had elected it would be good to resist Van'Aria and rush her but he would soon learn that her figure was not one easily toppled, crushing his shoulder into her he succeeded in making her skid across the floor briefly only to bring the butt of her Blaster up letting it crush his nose making him topple to the floor where she knelt down over him her right knee firmly placed onto his throat as she resumed firing, content with him suffocating whilst she carried on.

And just as the fighting slowly began dying down did she rise from her lowered firing position just in time for her victim to get Air back into his throat, she had spent a full blaster worth of munitions and folded its stock back together resettling it in its holster before pulling her backup from her right most holster and just as she pulled it forth fired down beneath her leaving a hole where there was once face.

Just as Arthos called out her head turned to address him, giving a quiet nod she held up a "Two" with her fingers, in between index and middle finger he could see a concussion grenade, primed.

"Lets go lets go! The Exit is West!" She played along with him, whilst her Basic sounded more neutral, it was enough to make it seem more convincing.

Once they ascended back up she let go of the Concussion Grenade and the primer of said Grenade began its countdown, it was a failsafe just incase one of them was too slow to exit the way they entered and a welcome committee for those about to stumble into that room.

They had done what they had been here for but they were not in the clear yet which is why she planned always one step ahead as being caught without backups she did not tolerate.

@Reylo4evr @Nefieslab

 

[Vidha Solus]

Vidha released a breath when Arthos killed the woman under the table. She looked at him, meeting his gaze through their helmets and then squeezed her eyes shut as he turned back to the room. There was no time for doubt. They could doubt later when they were successful. Which they would be. She quickly caught on to Arthos' plan and played along. "Quickly, they're coming!" she said, her Coruscanti accent flawless. She kind of surprised herself. She jumped out the window, turning on the jetpack and flying up to Arthos and Van'Aria. She followed them back up to the ship. A grenade that Van'Aria had set off went off right after Vidha jumped out of the window. All evidence was destroyed; there were no witnesses; this forced the people to ally with the Mandalorians. Brutal, but effective. So was the way of Mandalore.

@Nefieslab @Bread

 

[Arthos Vizsla]

"Vod, swing round."

As they reached the apex of their jetpack flight, Arthos' own ship swung round with its cargo bay ramp still down and slowed enough for the three of them to land within the ship. Stumbling slightly at the awkward mid-flight landing, Arthos cut the power to the jetpack and moved to help both Vidha and Van'Aria into the ship's cargo hold before hitting the button to close it up and get them out of the wind.

"Blur the stars." he gave the agreed upon code-phrase to his vod in the cockpit that the mission had been a success and they were ready to leave, "Our brothers and sisters aboard the nearby fleet will make sure the transition is as smooth as it can be."

He reached out to clasp forearms with Vidha and Van'Aria in turn before removing his helmet and heading deeper into the ship before returning with three bottles of brandy. He handed the other two bottles with straws attached because of their beliefs about the helmets before raising his own in a toast.

"For Mandalore, we do what is necessary."

Arthos started to drink and he would keep on drinking until he didn't remember the young woman he gunned down because of the opinions of her employers. It was just the way of the Galaxy and it didn't bother him.

It didn't bother him...
