Sabotage [Accord Mission]

[Bambi]

Mon Gazza - Miners Town, Hub 1​

Mon Gazza, a big red sandy Spice Mining colony. It was an entirely uninteresting as planets went, unless you like pod racing and shady business deals. The flight had probably been extremely uncomfortable for his comrades, he didn't care. He only picked them up and gave them quarters to stay in for the trip. As the Traveler entered the planets atmosphere Jaxob opened the ship-wide comm "We're descending, we'll land at Miners Town in a moment" He closed the channel and continued the landing procedures. M5-P13, the small astromech, rolled up next to him "Beep boop bwop?" It asked it's master I don't know Pie, a while. Go wake up the Razor, he's coming with us" The droid responded with a simple beep and rolled away.

After only a moment the ship touched ground in the spacepad and Jaxob stood up, grabbing his coat and throwing it own. As he walked out Jaxob grabbed his Mercy from it's wall attachment next to the exit. He hesitated and put it back in it's place, deciding instead to take his Sunspear, The heavy blaster would do better for this mission than a stun gun. He sighed as he holstered it and left the cockpit.

He walked to the exit to meet his partners for this mission. He took his place between the two. They looked almost comical; The short thing girl with her dusty cloak, Jaxob in his blue coat and fancy vest and of course the bearded giant. "You all ready?"

 

[Topher Ridge]

Ralo stepped off Jaxob's ship right after it landed. He was in his full armor with his normal loadout. He'd hoped he wouldn't need it, as their only real task here was to make sure they didn't get caught. They had been made painfully aware how important stealth would be here, which had never been Ralo's specialty. He'd try his best though, and he could handle his own if things went loud.

He looked over and to see an pretty young thing stepping off the ship behind him. She was dressed like a hero outta some of the old holovids he used to watch, the one's about brave gunslingers bringing justice to the outer rim. He smiled and nodded her way as they hadn't gotten a chance to chat on the trip.

"Howdy miss. *whistles* that's a mighty fine slug-thrower ya got there."

Before he could continue Jaxob joined them on the landing pad and asked if they were ready.

"Ready and eager as a Rancor during matin' season hehe. Ralo the name by the way. Didn't get a chance to get ya'lls names in the rush to get over here"

The tall, metallic frame tested the edge of his electroblade, dragging a long, spiked finger along the durasteel. This was the first mission Azarael would don this suit equipped for planetside combat; so far, he almost seemed to be enjoying it. Satisfied, he placed the electrosword in its sheath on his back, hefting his personal Harlaw carbine as he exited the ramp behind his companions. Ignoring the crude allegory Ralo had used, he responded in his metallic, near-monotonic voice,
"Greetings, Ralo. My name is Azarael. I have some skill with computer navigation and hacking, which I will put to use once we infiltrate the hub."

Pausing for a few moments for his companions to respond, he strode past, observing the area. "The communications hub is not far from here. We have already captured this landing zone, so they will not know of our arrival. Even if we are not completely stealthy, if we move quickly then our mission is almost guaranteed to succeed."

Spoiler: OOC

Considering both ZeroOrgan and Bambi have been gone for some time, I will be jumping in this mission to move it along.

 

[Topher Ridge]

"Woo here there pal...sorry didn't realize you'd be joinin' us...hell kinda thought you were just a suit of armor hehe"

Ralo eyed the strange being, luckily his helmet was already on so Azarael couldn't see the puzzled look on the merc's face. Ralo snapped back to the moment though and mentally shrugged. Seemed the fellow knew what was going on and was ready to move out. They'd have to hoof it to draw the least amount of attention.

"Alright I saw we get to movin' then..I'll take point"

Ralo would set out assuming whoever would be joining would follow him from the landing zone out into the sandy plains that made up Mon Gazza. As Azarael said it would only be about a 10 minute walk to operation area, so Ralo set a steady pace. He didn't kept his head on a swivel but didn't ready any of his weapons yet.

 

[Jaxob Shad]

Jaxob smoothed out his vest and pulled it down "Jaxob Shad, You can call me Jaxob" He said in his gentle, cold voice "I'll provide any medical assistance if required" He told the pair of armored Strangers. For now he would keep quiet unless spoken to, he had much to learn about his new compatriots.

Jaxob eyed the strange being in it's armor, the Members of the Accord had little to say about him other than his name. He was worried that a floating piece of Armour would draw attention but went along anyway. He'd still have much to learn about his new Employers. The small Razor drone floated next to his head. Jax entered the command into his wrist computer for the drone to float close by. It had his medical kit neatly tucked in it's underbelly freeing him from carrying all but the basic tools of his trade. He walked out and followed the giant of a man. A funny group indeed.

 

[Topher Ridge]

Ralo gave a quick nod back to the good doctor as he continued his brisk walk toward the communication hub. After a few minutes the hub came into view. Ralo would slow his approach and stay low as they got within a few feet. He had been given a call sigh to report on close band comms to identify the group as friendly.

"This is mama wampaa...are the cubs still in?"

He would wait outside the main door with the team until they got the return call.

"Mama wampaa the cubs are in and hungry."

Ralo chuckled as the door slid open and the group filed in. They were greeted to a Mirialan and his team who seemed to already be pulling a few panels out in preparation for the install.

"Alright now that you boys are here to watch our backs we can really get to work. Take up whatever postitions you think are best, we just need room to work. Let's make this quick boys."

Ralo nodded and took a look around the hub. it was a relatively simple building and was a bit in disrepair seeing as it was a mostly automated facility. Ralo took up position next to one of the doors and kept an eye on the monitors for any motion outside.

 

[Shalken]

Nodding to each of his companions in turn, Azarael took pace behind Ralo. While being an effective tactician, his greatest field of experience lay in space combat, so he was more than willing to let another take the lead.

Upon reaching the control hub, Azarael was surprised to find the Specter Cell agents already having gained access to the hub. Perhaps he had underestimated the Accord's operatives; what he had initially deemed a group of rag-tag vigilantes were turning into a well-trained, effective fighting force. Entering the building, he approached the monitors, flipping through the many different security cameras stationed around the outskirts of the complex. "The hub is quiet, for now. You are clear to begin installation." Accessing the security system's database, he scanned through them for patrol routines. Finding what he was looking for, he reported to the rest of the squad, "There is a routine patrol on landspeeders nearby, scheduled to pass by in....seven minutes. It is possible they will notice our presence. We must do our best to eliminate them before they contact reinforcements."

Spoiler: OOC

Sorry for the big delay, life is really busy at the moment. Also, random note, Azarael is actually wearing his combat frame instead of his typical floating one.

I suppose we'll continue with @Bambi - @Topher Ridge - myself as the posting order?

 

[Jaxob Shad]

Jaxob followed the pair into the hub, removing the rifle from his shoulder. He went further inside and dropped to one knee and started calibrating his rifle. He adjusted the stock to it's lengthier position and lowered the bipod. He then replaced the Assault Blast bolt Magazine with a sniper Magazine, the ammunition kept inside his coat "I'll be prepared for long range takedowns in about one minute" He informed his team. Eliminating the patrol wasn't what he expected to be doing this day, he looked around at his allies and wondered why they worked for the Accord, a giant soldier, and a walking Armor with tech abilities. Well and of course the ingenious surgeon that seemed to have no problem with killing strangers.

Spoiler: OOC

Yes Sounds good. Apologies from me for my slow posting, I'll be able to keep up from now on. Also, I'm going to say that Jaxob has his rifle. It seems as if I'd written it and cut it out for some reason, amateurish mistake

 

[Shalken]

Seeing the doctor calibrating his gun for long range, Azarael nodded in approval. He was glad to see his companions were prepared for multiple scenarios. Though the ex-Admiral did not have a sniper of his own, the Harlaw carbine he carried would prove effective at medium range. However, he knew that a firefight was bound to start out, and the last thing they needed was a long, drawn out fight. They needed something hard-hitting that would keep them from calling in reinforcements. Luckily, Azarael happened to have just the thing.

Looking to his companions, he pulled an EMP grenade off his belt, lightly tossing it up and down in his hand. "I will set EMP charges in their path, which will disable their weapons and communicators. Then we just have to pick them off one by one." Clipping the grenade back to his belt, Azarael then exited the compound, making for a space several meters away from the building. Examining the ground, he searched for any sign of a worn path. Such things were difficult to find, as speeders never actually touched the ground - one would need to find traces of the repulsorlifts' pulses on the ground. Sure enough, Azarael spotted a faint impression in the ground a short distance away. Heading over and placing the EMP on the ground, half-covering it with dirt, Azarael hoped that their quarry would follow the same trajectory. Satisfied, he headed back to the compound, climbing up to the roof. "And now, we wait."

Several minutes passed by in silence. Azarael lay down on the roof, staying as hidden as possible. Sure enough, a dust cloud rose up from the tail end of a patrol speeder coming in from the distance. As it drew near, the ex-Admiral looked down the scope of his weapon - six troopers in total. This would not be difficult. Keeping a finger on the detonator, he waited for a few more moments as the speeder drew closer.

As it drove over the grenade, Azarael hit the detonator, creating a large bubble of supercharged electricity that fried the speeder and the guards within, sending them into the groud. Taking aim, he opened fire. These men would not survive long.

Spoiler: OOC

Topher Ridge is now AWOL, keep on posting without him for now I suppose.

 

[Jaxob Shad]

An EMP, what a clever way to deal with the patrols. Jax silently cursed himself for not thinking of it himself. He also made the not of purchasing one himself after this mission was over. Also to find a way to protect his droids from a blast such as that. He regained his focus and continued his calibration. With the odd man's declaration, Jax went in a prone of position and waited patiently.

As soon as the speeder entered range Jaxob took aim, focusing on the driver, he waited for the vessel to hit the mine. The moment the speeder hit the ground he opened fire hitting the pilot straight between the eyes. A shot he had taken some time to line up. He started reloading, only 1.45 seconds He thought to himself.

[OOC]I missed your OOC and was waiting for tophers answer, I apologize, it won't happen again.[/OOC]

 

[Shalken]

As the pilot went down, Azarael sent bolt after bolt down range. Though he was no sniper, with this many soldiers packed together on a single speeder, he was sure to hit at least a couple of them. A few moments later, with his and Dr. Shad's combined firepower, the troops were all taken out, taken entirely by surprise and unable to retaliate with their now-fried equipment. Or so Azarael thought.

After having ceased fire, a lone guard limped from the wreckage, making away as fast as he could. Through his scope, the ex-admiral could see the sentry shouting into his communicator. Growling in frustration, Azarael downed him in a single shot. Apparently he had detonated the EMP at the wrong time, and this man's communicator had not been affected. One of the operatives inside asked over the comms, "We heard gunfire, is everything all right up there?" Azarael warned, "I tried to hit the entire patrol squad with an EMP, but one somehow didn't get hit and contacted reinforcements. We've got company incoming." "Shall we abort, sir?"

Azarael looked at the compound, then over to the wreckage of the speeder. It was a fair distance off - he and Jaxob might be able to redirect the other guards from their real mission. "Negative, continue with the mission. Dr. Shad and I will relocate to distract their reinforcements." "Copy that. We're at forty-six percent. Shouldn't be too much longer."

Standing up, Azarael pointed out a pill box across the road, close to where the speeder went down. "If we relocate and attack the newcomers from over there, they may not realize the Specter Cell agents within the building. We are likely to see at least two or more speeders, if not a tank."

[Jaxob Shad]

Jaxob gave his armored comrade a queer look "Tanks" he said calmly, the thought of having to fight a tank annoyed him more than anything. He did not have anything to fight a tank on his person. This would truly be interesting "How many of those EMP grenades do you have left?" He asked moving to the location Azarael had mentioned "I can take out a moving target so stopping the speeders should not be a problem but I only have two Supernova Grenades and a blaster. Nothing to bite through a tank" His Razor droid followed the pair. Humming silently.

 

[Shalken]

The ex-admiral examined his belt as the two approached their new position. "Just one more. I'll save it, in case we do indeed find ourselves facing a tank. These troopers are not equipped with any sort of advanced sound modulators like I am; supernova grenades will be extremely effective in this case." Hunkering down into the pill box, Azarael double-checked his weapon and ammo reserves. This next fight would be much more challenging, as they no longer had the element of surprise. "See if you can have your drone scout above us; that should give us a few moments to determine what we're up against, and prepare accordingly."
