Here's the plan!

[Eithni Vala Stark]

When they had finally arrived at Eithni's spot, stood they in front of a large abandon rusty storeroom left to rot as it was outside of the large city. A lot of overgrown plantlife had taken hold of this building and even finding the storeroom would be a challenge, if you didn't know about its location. Ordering all her droids, except for the five pilot droids, inside and wait for her and Kalanda to return, the much smaller group, started to head back towards the city and soon they entered the lively city of Balmorra, or at least one of the major cities on the planet. Turning off the main street, Eithni led Kalanda and the five droids away from the crowded area.

Finally stopping, Eithni turned to Kalanda while EIthni's five pilot droids drove to a stop behind their owner. "Okay, this is the reason for all the droids" started the witch to explain and looked around them to check that no one was listening. "We are gonna steal one of those Balaen-class-something-freighter!" Said Eithni with a big grin and outstretched arms.

"I always wanted my own ship and be able to move around with my Rancor, so I need space so she would have room when we weren't on a planet" Eithni continued explaining.

"So the plan is to get inside the big factory on the other end of the city, sneak inside, find a completed Balaen-ship, get inside the ship and let my cute small droids here fly us out here. Get my other droids and fly away! Easy" said Eithni as she finished her explaining with great confidence in her plan. "I mean, how hard could it get to sneak inside that factory-thingy?" Asked the witch more to herself as she shrugged and grabbed her Kala's hand and started to head back towards the main street, so they would find their way to the large factory.

 

[Kalanda Tishire]

In typical Eithni fashion, this plan wasn't much of a plan, but rather a spur of the moment 'let's pull the fire alarm and see what happens' sort of plan. Did they even qualify it as a plan? Kalanda wasn't the one to say. Eithni had asked for her, and she was here, that was really all there was to it. Ordering her small droid army to stay here, Kalanda eyed the rest of Eithni's entourage with suspicion as they moved through the streets. She didn't trust droids, though the truth was Kalanda didn't trust anything made of metal and filled with electronics. Finally, after a good few minutes of silence for the witch, Eithni lead the Sith into a side alley and explained the actual plan the girl had kinda sorta formed.

Of course, Eithni wanted more than just droids, she wanted a giant ship to haul her rancor around as well. Lovely. Except Eithni seemed to think the pair could just waltz into the room and take what they needed from the factory without much issue. Kalanda might have been crazy about the witch, but her judgement was lacking at times. "I...think you might be forgetting a few steps love, but...." Kalanda sighed, crossing her arms. She couldn't tell the girl no, in fact she never had. "Alright, just lead the way dear. Just....keep in mind they will have security and it might be dangerous." Kalanda tried to warn the witch, though Eithni probably thought she was overreacting. Being lead by the hand by Eithni, Kalanda wasn't thinking about how they were going to break into a factory, she could only notice that Eithni's hands felt really warm.

[Eithni Vala Stark]

"I know! Doesn't it sound fun?!" Had Eithni replied to Kalanda warning her that it would have security.

Walking arm in arm together down the street with 5 small droids right behind them, they were seeing all kinds of people around them. None of them saw them as a Sith or a Nightsister, but just two women out for a stroll having their droids along for the trip. So since it would take them most of the day to get to the other side of the city, they might as well enjoy an enjoyable walk through the bustling city hand in hand. At least Eithni took full advantage of their time together, by Interlace her fingers with Kalanda, while resting her head on the Sith's shoulder. Surprisingly, Eithni wasn't dashing back and forth, squealing by the sight anything exciting happening. Eithni was just enjoying being together with her Kala and her Kala alone.

Ones in a while, when they took a break to sit down on a bench or getting something to eat, Eithni would steal some quick pecks on Kalanda's cheek. If not that, she did surprise her Kala with a very deeply intimate kiss on her lips or just sit on Kalanda's lap and watch all the people with Kalanda.

Around early evening, Eithni and Kalanda with the 5 droids, arrived near the large factory and Eithni led the Sith into another alleyway. Standing now in an alleyway, the witch pulled her little pouch forward and sat down as she performed the invisibility ritual, forming a gateway with her Water of Life liquid from the pouch. "Step through, and we can begin" explained Eithni and waited for Kalanda to go through the green glowing gateway of mist. Eithni turned to her droids who seemed a bit confused by the sudden disappearing Kalanda before their eyes.

"Okay my friends, I will disappear as well, but follow this signature of me and we won't lose each other" explained the witch to her five droids and made her droids track her personal comm. Turning to where Kalanda would be, "let's go!" She grinned now really excited to get started and began to walk giddy towards the factory's back entrance or at least where she could guess it was.

[Kalanda Tishire]

Kalanda only shook her head at the girl's words, that was her Nini. "I suppose if you find running from armed security fun, then yes. It's 'fun'." She said with a tone of amusement, before taking Eithni by the arm and enjoying a nice walk through the city with her favorite witch. Eithni was surprisingly calm and collected now, which while a rarity, Kalanda wasn't about to complain. Feeling the woman's head on her shoulder, the warmth of her hand, it all felt rather nice. The thought crossed her mind of what the nature between the two women was. They had done things and clearly they cared about one another, but....what exactly did that make them? They were more than friends, even from Kalanda's lack of experience with relationships she knew that, but they weren't exactly lovers....were they? She cared a great deal for Eithni, typically never going long without thoughts of the girl springing to her mind, and yet....what were they really? Kalanda decided she would question that once they were off the world. And no one would be getting in her way this time.

The several breaks they took only drew that question further to the surface. It was nice, very nice at that, but it still left questions in the mind of the Sith woman. She would have to figure this out once they were done here.

With their little droid escorts, Kalanda and Eithni arrived at the facility. Stopping in an alley way, Kalanda let the woman go to work setting up her ritual. She was familiar with the ritual, after all Eithni had done this several times already. When the gateway was formed, Kalanda merely smiled, pausing only a moment to peck the woman on the cheek before stepping through the gateway. Kalanda would vanish from sight, as she would now await Eithni to join her. With the giddy little witch at her side, Kalanda and her dear friend would begin their approach into the facility, seemingly unseen by the security personnel, though not from the motion sensors stationed around the perimeter.

Roll: barely a success

 

[Eithni Vala Stark]

Sneaking inside seemed to go quite smoothly as they managed to get inside the large factory. No alarm or storming of hundred security guards as they snuck inside the relatively quiet factory. Eithni was a bit surprised that the droids wouldn't get every guard on the complex, or that was what she thought until she heard movements coming their way. "Control said they saw 5 droids enter the back entrance by themselves, which I find highly unlikely, but the guys up top want it checked," Said the first voice around a corner slowly making the way where the little thief group was.

"How exactly would 5 small droids be able to open that door?" commented the second voice in disbelief at the situation. "I have no idea, but if the guys up top want us to check it out we better just do it, or a mountain of paperwork is going to be our weekend," said the first voice and sighed, he really didn't want to sign paperwork in his weekend just because he didn't want to go and check some small unimportant sensor mistake.

Being beside Kalanda, Eithni signalled for them to move straight ahead as Eithni began to guide the five droids through the t-section of the large hallway. Due to Kalanda and Eithni being invisible, the guards didn't see them, but the droids. "What the, there is five droids, how the kriff did they managed to get inside?" Asked the first guard in disbelief. The first guard went over to get a better look at the little fellas, while the second one was about to call to control, which wasn't good. Before Kalanda got to react, had Eithni dashed forward and for the first time, saw Kalanda Eithni with a lightsaber, a green one at that like the colour of the spirit Ichor.

With a quick but precise strike, Eithni decapitated the poor guard, which made the second guard just manage to yelled "WHAT THE KRA~?!" before he was cut down too by Eithni. As quick as she had been to ignite her sabre, equally quick was the Nightsister to switch off the blade. "What's going on over there? Hello? Damnit man, talk to me!" Called a voice from the comm the second guard had, which now was on the floor.

Eithni turned to Kalanda, "we gotta move the bodies, I can already hear more guards coming" whispered the little witch quite serious and started to with the force, to lift the body parts off the floor. While the aftermath of the two guards death was there, but their bodies had been stored in a container by Eithni and Kalanda, if she helped with move the body parts. Moving deeper into the factory, they had to often move from hiding spot to hiding spot throughout the large factory, but they managed to get into the centre of the building, which was fully stocked with all manners of ship gear, component and what else a ship needed.

While the alarm hadn't been set off yet, it would most likely only be a matter of time, when either they found the body parts of the two guards or finds Eithni and Kalanda.

Barely a success

[Kalanda Tishire]

As the pair moved forward, it wasn't long before Kalanda took note that they had been detected. Though Eithni probably knew that as well. Keeping in pace with the other woman, Kalanda kept focused on her senses, prepared for this mission to go south at any moment. Sensing the men approaching as they had caught sight of the droids, Kalanda could feel a bit of Eithni welling up with excitement, so the woman backed off, curious how Eithni was going to handle this. Shock was one of the sensations she felt, as the woman ignited a lightsaber and severed the head of one man, and bisected the other one in quick succession. Kalanda blinked several times, before nodding at having seen her Nini's lightsaber skills in action. "I didn't know you got one of those, it suits you." Kalanda smiled, before taking up one of the men's remains and helping Eithni stow the bodies away in an empty durasteel crate. Having done that, the pair moved deeper into the facility, having to keep the edges and ensuring their droid companions traveled unseen. Reaching the center of the facility, Kalanda knew there was one issue they were going to run into, something Eithni might not have been aware of. There was a small security office set across from them, which was sure to hold the access code they needed for the ship. "We need the access codes if we want to get on board, I'll grab that, you just keep a look out." Kalanda whispered, before creeping away towards the office, remaining unseen by some of the few workers who seemed more occupied moving parts and equipment around.

Moving along the wall before splitting off towards the office, Kalanda would slide into the open door, only to find several security personal speaking with one another, the room covered with monitors and a layout of the facility. Being invisible, the woman kept to the edges of the room, looking instead to find the security codes they would need to get the ship out of there. Sure enough she found it set on a desk on the other side of the room, though it was blocked from her by the security personnel. Reaching out with the force, Kalanda slowly pulled the code cylinder off the desk, and let it roll across the floor until it was within her reach. She quickly scooped it up and slipped back out, grinning all the while. If Eithni hadn't gone on ahead of her, the Sith would tighten her grip on the cylinder. "I got it, now where is the next stop?" This wasn't going too bad after all, maybe they'd even get out of here without a scratch.

[Eithni Vala Stark]

kalanda wouldn't be able to see Eithni due to her invisibility, but a blur instead, however, the witch grinned by her Kala's compliment. A lot of patrols started to show more and a few ran in the direction where the two guards got killed. Luckily had the pair been quick and silent enough to go into the centrum of the large factory, hiding among large crates and other factory gears and parts. Eithni was glad that Kalanda thought about the access codes, 'cause that was not something she could ever imagine to grab or even that it was needed for getting access to a ship of this size. None of the other ships she sneaked onto to catch rides required that, but then again, that might just be because there already was a pilot inside of the ship or the engine was on.

Eithni nodded, though, in hindsight, it might have been better to nod as either of them could really see each other. Nevertheless, Eithni kept watch of the open area, seeing a lot of patrols all around them. This wasn't a small-time business, but a multibillion company and they were very protective of their ships and productions, especially the larger ships as they were quite expensive. Watching the blur which was Kalanda's invisibility silently but surely made her way inside the office not far from where they hid, the witch started to keep an eye out for trouble.

A lot of patrols passed her hiding spot with the five droids but none of them seemed to notice anything out of the ordinary at the beginning. Keeping a watch out, she didn't take into consideration that a late worker would walk straight into the location of the hiding spot. Seeing the droids first the woman realized these were the droids that had been the talks after the weird disappearing of the two guards. However, the woman never got to call anyone over a radio, before her throat got slid by Eithni's vibroblade dagger, silencing her on the spot. The droids started to beep a nervously and maybe a bit scared for Eithni, but the witch quickly got the little scaredy-cats to relax as she heard Kalanda get back.

"Goodie, let's continue," explained the Eithni with an excited whisper and started to lead the little group to the edge of the hiding spot. Standing by the edge by the large crates, the Nightsister poked her head out, looking for any incoming patrols walking their way and lo and behold, 2 pair of guards were patrolling from the left. Letting the guards passed, they had a straight run for another batch of large cylinder style tubes, giving the droids a good enough cover as the only ones not invisible.

Looking around the area, further down they were met with an area filled with enormous hanger doors, all open, but the area was swarmed with a lot of patrols in some kind of manners, making the way over to the hangers a real challenge.

[Kalanda Tishire]

Moving along with the security codes in hand, Kalanda found that things weren't exactly looking in their favor. There were more guards here than there should have been, several patrols littered the hanger, making the odds of them being unseen rather unlikely The two of them could have pulled this off with no problem, but with the droids? Yea, it seemed unlikely. Kalanda scowled at seeing the challenge looming before them, but she wasn't about to back out, her Nini was depending on her. "Okay, we need to move fast and get the droids to cover. Ready when you are." Kalanda would ready herself, as her and Eithni would make for the tube as the guards passed, making it into the tubes, while the droids clamored up the way behind them.



They had made it into the hanger now, the ship they were looking for was close, in fact they were literally in the home stretch. But the number of guards had only grown now, as the two dark siders were looking down at their prize. Kalanda was looking for a possible path to sneak through, maybe something they could work out to just slip onboard and get out of there. She thought she found one such path, as one of the patrols seemed to be out of sync with the rest of the group. She would point it out to Eithni, sharing projected images with the girl via telepathy. But before they could begin their advance, a voice behind them would catch their attention. "Dispatch, this is patrol six, do we have any pilot droids active in the hanger area?" A voice to the woman's rear would sound, as with their senses they could detect a pair of men moving up from behind. They hadn't seen them, obviously not, but they must have caught sight of the droids while they were moving in. Kalanda scowled and turned back towards the men, waiting to see what Eithni wanted to do, as she seemed to be the one with all the weapons at the moment.

[Eithni Vala Stark]

It was going pretty well so far, all things considered. They managed to enter the factory relatively unscathed and for the most part, got away with taking out the two guards that saw the droids. However, their luck felt as if it was slowly ebbing away from them as more and more guards started noticing the droids, forcing Eithni and Kalanda to take them out or lose the droids.

Eithni reacted instantly to the voice of the duo guards, who noticed the droids. In two lightning-fast shot, the Nightsister fired two pink plasma arrows hitting both of the guards as Eithni whipped around. The two guards only just managed to see the sudden appearing of the two arrows, before they were hit and fell down flat on the back or front, paralyzed from top to bottom.

While it gave Eithni and Kalanda with the droids the opening they needed at it was a clear run for the next area to hide, the sudden paralyzing of two guards did not go unnoticed. "This is patrol seven, what's going on over there, do you copy?" Asked another patrol, trying to get a sense of what was going on. Along with Kalanda and the droids they dashed as quickly as they could to the other area, but finding the two paralyzed guards, placed everything on alert.

Multiple places around them, could they hear guards comm each other, as they were now actively searching for these five droids as the droids seem to attack anyone who goes near them. "We gotta get to the ship, or we'll~" Started Eithni to whisper, but shouting from now four guards noticing the droids, made her rethink their plan. "Oh no," commented Eithni as the guards pulled their blasters, ready to shoot.

Igniting her green sabre, Eithni deflected the first volley of four shots back at the guards, while not hitting all four with the redirect, Eithni still managed to get two of the four shots to hit two guards in their stomach. The guards were both alertly terrified by what they saw, but also enormously confused as to what exactly was going on. "What the heck is that?!" Asked a guard as they started to fire again, forcing Eithni to keep blocking and redirecting shots back.

The droids were beeping now quite scared, attracting even more attention to them as more and more guards started to give the group of four guards backup. Eithni and Kalanda knew that in order to get out alive, they would have to get to the ship they were going to steal. Staying in the spot they were in, would be very soon surrounded and made impossible most likely to get out if that happened, so they had to make a run for it.

[Kalanda Tishire]

Kalanda stepped aside, knowing that Eithni would be the one to dispatch them. The two arrow shots hit their mark, and the men went down in quick succession. "Nicely done." Kalanda muttered, as it was time for the pair to move. Pressing on into the next section of the hanger, but by now the gig was up. Kalanda's senses told her several guards were catching on, as the facility was going on alert. Kalanda stepped behind Eithni, as the girl brought her saber to bare, parrying the shots that flew towards them, though this couldn't last forever. Tapping into the Force and drawing her blaster, Kalanda rushed towards the ship, her invisibility giving way now as she was now being seen by several of the other guards, though she moved like a blur to them. With her quickened reflexes, Kalanda side stepped past one man, and leapt over another, knowing Eithni wouldn't be far behind. She reached the parked ship, it seemed to be set up for a diagnostic, which made the next step much easier. Kalanda rushed up the ramp, startling a pair of technicians in the process. She already had her pistol to bare, and shot one poor man in the cockpit with a stun shot, before plugging in the code cylinder into the main computer.

Alarms would begin to sound through the facility, as the place was brought on alert, but the ship's engines came to life. It was time to make a run for it. Dropping the force speed, Kalanda kept her pistol ready to fire, as she drug the knocked out man back towards the ramp and threw him out, laying down covering fire for Eithni as the security personnel were starting to converge on their position. Once the witch and her droids were on board, they would have to start their run out of here. The fun part of this mission was over, now the hard part would begin.
