A Piracy Problem (OP Vandelhelm Dominion)

@[member="Tegaea Alcori"]
"Captain Alcori, this is Jak Sandrow. I see you've started your attack. Just to let you know, I will be delivering my cargo to my boss in half an hour. If you could send a squad of snipers or something, that'd be great. I'd kill him myself, but he has at least 3 backups at any given moment. I'm sure you wouldn't send a cargo of glitterstim down the drain...Let me know if you have anything else for me to know. Sandrow out."

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

Receiving messages in the middle of a battle was not something one usually did. However, the battle was going so well that Tegaea was able to contact @[member="Jak Sandrow"].
"Understood. Send me your coordinates and delay as long as possible. We will contact when we are close."

Tegaea looked back to the battle. @[member="Zero"] was going very well at the station, and @[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] was pulverising the enemy with accurate fire. It was almost time to begin the final assault.
"All ships, engage the enemy more closely. Ensure none get away."

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

To say that the orbit of Vandelhelm represented a target-rich environment would be like saying the Shadowlands of Kashyyyk were ideal for big game hunting. Of course one might say that getting blown out of the sky by missiles and laser fire sucked less than being poisoned by kinrath spiders or torn to shreds by terentateks. Unless one got spaced. After all, not everyone could afford a Lazarus Project!

The battle continued apace, but the pirate forces were falling back. Exploiting their momentum, the Omega Fleet pressed on. Their interceptor craft swarmed out, needling the large pirate ships with intense fire. A pirate fighter was severely damaged and crashed into one of their corvettes, causing a fire. The defensive line of the pirates had been broken and now it was every corsair for himself as the Omega forces moved to surround them. Scattered vessels emerged into space from the planet itself, trying to get out before the invaders landed.

They were greeted with salvoes from the invasion fleet. Debris from a frigate that had just been torn to shreds by the Jaeger Class Star Destroyer rained down on two pirate transport vessels, ripping large chunks into their hulls and sending them spinning out of control, their crew struggling to prevent them from going into an inevitable freefall on the planet.

Cornered and with only the planet behind them, there was nowhere for the pirates to go. Panicking they tried to break ranks, some even trying to pull off a manoeuvre where they moved in between the Omega ships, hoping that the attackers would be reluctant to fire if they risked their own ships. The problem with this manoeuvre, as the pirates discovered, was that they lacked the necessary number of ships to pull it off and most were pulverised before they even got close in a hailstrom as the guns of the fleet turned on them. Another frigate exploded in a brilliant flash of light when the Star Destroyer and the cruisers took under fire, like a sun going supernova. As the surviving pirates retreated, fighter craft came in from the flanks to dive in deep, unleashing laser blasts and torpedoes.

Siobhan got up from her position in the gunnery station when she beheld the glorious explosion. Clearly space combat could be fun after all. The enemy was going down, what pirate forces remained were disorganised. Encircled by the invasion fleet, they would not last long. It was time to get planetside and knock the heck out of them there. Let the games begin. She activated her comm, sending a quick message to Colonel @[member="Tegaea Alcori"]. "Enemy's getting pulverised, orbit's clear, boss. Assembling in the hangar to prepare for ground assault." She sent a burst message to @[member="Cira"] and the others in her assault team, alerting them to assemble in the hangars.

 

[Vora Kaar]

Zero moved through the station like a ghost. not saying a single word, just moving from one room to the next. He would have a few small skirmishes with the Pirates. They were not very organized in their operation. Zero only carried his sword and one of the new Omega pistols. They were nice and efficient. He moved to one of the last rooms close to the command center. It was an empty conference room. Zero moved on without another look. Zero walked down the hallway like he owned the place. And it was most likely true by now. you could hardly hear his footsteps striking the tile floor.

Zero's blade made a reflection from the lights onto the walls and floor. the blue streak floated around him on the doors and and the ceiling. Zero didnt pay attention to it as he moved to the Command centers door. With a simple shot to the keypad next to the doorframe its opened with a pop hisss sound. Zero rushed in to see about 12 troops including who looked to be the leader.

Zero smiled as he shot the first two in the chest and neck. With about 10 left he activated his stealth unit. hiding himself from their shots. He was behind two more of the troops and fired his gun into the back of the head of his left and sliced off the head of the one on his right. It was very easy to cut though bone and muscle with the Songsteel blade. It was very light and still very durable. it could easily cut though the light neck armor that the pirates and bandits wore. Zero made quick work of the not so very well trained soldiers. There was three left including the leader of the space station.

He could tell who the leader was by how much armor he wore. He was very bulky, and slow moving. Zero put his sword away and was still hidden from the Bandits in the dark cornner left of the main door. He grabbed his GH-44 pistols and shot three shots from each gun at the two remaining bandits. they fell to the ground with a yelp from being shot in the arm leg and chest.

Zero moved to be about 2 meters from the leader and he revealed himself. "Leave or face the consequences of your crimes." The man shook his head and responded. "Ill fight you to protect this station." What surprised Zero was that it was not a mans voice that came from the suit of armor, but rather a small woman's voice. Zero did not kill girls. He had promised himself that long ago that he would not kill a woman even if they would give him a hefty price.

Zero would have to knock her out. And if he did maybe they could question her when everything was done. Zero fired his pistols at her arms and legs trying to taker her out. but the blaster shots rebounded off of the armor. Ultrachrome. That was the only explanation for his blaster shots. The woman had pulled out a sword that had a slight space between the blades. Zero knew this type of blade could be separated into two swords. Zero smiled as he replaces his pistols with his blue sword and a dagger. with alittle smile in his voice you could hear Zero mutter to himself "This is where the fun begins."

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

"Received, @[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"], you may begin your landing. @[member="Allaina Mare"] you may begin your bombing run." Tegaea herself headed from the bridge and down to the hanger where her team was assembling. "Saddle up, boys and girls, we're going in hot. No prisoners until the area is secured. We have a transport on the surface, description will be sent to you. Try and preserve @[member="Jak Sandrow"] as he's working with us. Liquidate the rest."

She quickly strapped on her armour and grabbed her weapons before boarding one of the gunships. "All Omega units, we are go for launch. Good hunting!"

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

"You heard the Colonel, let's go. Kill anything that gets in our way," Siobhan called out to the mercenariees on the squad, then boarded one of the gunships. Her commands were always rather basic, but then she was of the attack what's in front of you and attack it hard until all opposition is smashed school. The far more complex question of how to get into a position from where you could attack what was in front of you was something best left to other persons.

Like Tegaea.

As the hangar bays opened the gunship took off and soon flew over the planet's surface, heading towards a landing zone close to the western camp, which had been built into a hillside. As the gunship flew across the land they came across the smoking, burning wreckage of pirate vessels that just moments ago had been shot out of space. Miraculously a few pirate vessels were still taking off, despite the mayhem in space, but then they must have picked upon the invasion force and thought it worth the risk.

Regardless, as the gunship swooped down these late-comers on the evacuation front now found themselves facing it. "Naughty rascals," Thane scolded them as if they were disobedient children. "Just turning tail and running away before the game is on. It's unsportsmanlike."

"Tell them they've got detention until they comprehend their place in things," Gunn asked sarcastically.

"Shoot the damn things out of the sky," Siobhan commanded impatiently. As the transport ship tried to turn and change direction, then swerved to the side, it was greeted by intense laserfire that ripped through its hull and wrecked its engines. Amid cheers from the mercenaries, the ship went down.

The gunship came flying in low, taking fire from pirates on the ground that seemed to be fleeing from the mines. Some pirates shot at it with rocket-propelled grenades, missiles the gunship dodged. Then when the gunship came down upon and them and created some hell of its with a barrage of heavy blaster cannon fire that separated limbs from torsoes and heads from shoulders, many started to run. Mercenaries standing at the open side-door peeked out and fired at them, adding to the casualties.

Siobhan peeked out, holding onto the ship with one hand while the lightsabre she held in a one-armed grip lightsabre spun fast to reflect shots. Several pirates got taken down when their blaster shots were returned right back to them, anguished cries of pain filled the air. A hastily assembled E-web was quickly blown apart when Thane brought up his grenade launcher and sent an incendiary grenade upon it, igniting them.

Siobhan smirked as they came close to the landing zone. That said, it was a shame these pirates were not more of a challenge. "Take us down there," she ordered, "cut off any pirates trying to flee. No one gets away." As pilot heeded her command and started to bring the bird down the ex-Jedi drew on the Force and jumped, using her telekinesis to control her descent. The gunship flew onward to come into landing at the retreating pirates' flanks.

Blaster bolts came shooting towards her as the pirates engaged the seemingly lone combatant, trying to swarm her to hopefully escape the gunships' laser fire. Blaster fire raked the ground behind her, but there was little finesse behind it. Siobhan spun her sabre as she landed, a force push knocked out three pirates, then she stormed forward to engage, hewing at her enemies.

As the mercenaries jumped down from the landing gunship the pirates found themselves under fire from another quarter and many were mowed down. Using telekinesis and her lightsabre Siobhan advanced grimly. As she cleaved a pirate in half who had been coming at her with a vibro-sword in half, a tug from the Force alerted her to pirates coming from the right. A wave of speeder bike riders swooped past, blaster cannons had been affixed to their vehicles but they seemed more intent on escaping than on actually fighting, unleashing salvoes of blaster fire to force a pathway through.

One got blown apart when Thane took aim with his grenade launcher and fired, sending bike and driver on a free flight through the air before they collapsed and exploded. Another speeder crashed into the wreckage when Gunn shot its driver. Mercenaries moved out of the way to avoid getting run over when the remaining speeders charged, their drivers firing wildly with their blaster cannons. Some of the remaining pirates who didn't have the fortune of having vehicles tried to jump onto the speeders and hitch a ride, but the pilots knocked them off, being a self-interested lot.

Parrying shots with her lightsabre, Siobhan closed with the nearest spider and pounced. The pilot fired his blaster at her and for a moment she was off-balance as she landed, but then she grabbed him by the throat and snapped it. Yanking the blaster cannon around she opened fire upon the fleeing pirates. She spun as the remaining riders closed in on her, fleeing the mercenaries and the gunship that had suddenly come down on them again and unleashed a missile upon a group of pirate infantry, setting them alight. The first rider, a Zabrak, lost his when a deflected blaster shot knocked him from his seat while racing at top speed, the second when she hurled her lightsabre in a spinning arc and it slashed into the front control rods of the vehicle, making rider and vehicle race to a painful death as they collided with a downed transport.

Almost too easy, Siobhan thought. But in a way a welcome change after adventures such as the one on Kashyyyk. She jumped off the vehicle, liking up with the team. The plain was filled with pirate corpses and wrecked speeders. "No time to waste, to the camp." Quickly the team advanced to the pirate encampment at the hillside, it was already in view. The purge of Vandelhelm was on.

 

[Hevana Martin]

A time ago, Hevana would have been leading the charge. Right at the front relaying targeting information to the rest of the forces coming in behind her. Not today, isntead she was in the second wave following the gunships down. Perhaps it was because she had not proved herself yet. Or maybe they decided a heavy weapon specialist made more sense behind the front lines.

Maybe she could weasel it out of Siobhan next time she was over for the night.

Speaking of which... "Major Kerrigan, this is Corporal Martin approaching your location with armored support."

"Heavy, enemy aircraft approaching the Major's position."

"Hear that Siobhan? Take cover, we've got this one." As she spoke, the enemy aircraft came into view and hovered over Siobhan's position, opening fire with its heavy cannons. The fire did not last long before the support Hevana had promised came into play. There was an incredibly loud cannon fire, and then the aircraft blew into pieces. Seconds later the top of the AT-SE Hevana was aboard came into view.

When it finally made its way to Siobhan's location, the massive walker kneeled down and an exit ramp descended from the rear hatch. In quick order Hevana and the other eleven troops aboard made their way out to meet up with the rest of the forces.

 

[Jak Sandrow]

"@[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"], @[member="Hevana Martin"], @[member="Allaina Mare"], my ship is a VCX-700 heavy freighter, the silver one with the blue racing strips. I'm in Docking Bay 72. Come from Bay 73 or 71, that way you can get behind the bodyguards without alerting anyone. Sorry, gotta go, my boss says he'll be here in 10 minutes."

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

@[member="Hevana Martin"]

The mercenary team sought cover behind rocks and debris of downed pivate vessels when the aircraft came swooping down on them, unleashing salvoes of red blasts with its blaster cannon. Then the deafening cannon sounded and the aircraft was blown out of the sky, its wreckage slamming down onto the ground. Siobhan emerged from cover, smirking at the sight when the AT-SE came into view. It was a recent development in the Omega arsenal. As field tests went, it clearly had proven to be a sound investment!

The team quickly linked up with the mercenaries Hevana had brought with her when the walker's ramp was lowered. Siobhan approached the Corporal with a thin smile. "Nice work, Corporal," she said approvingly. "Let's put this shiny walker to good use, shall we? Got your missile launcher I hope, we have some hell to raise. Pirate camp's up ahead. Walker provides support and bombards the turrets. Don't let anyony escape," she said in her formal, well, what passed for formal when it came to Siobhan tone. She indicated a few troopers. "Come in from the west and cut off any escape route." That was other side of the hillside where the pirates had built their camp. Now it would be turned into a free-for-all killing zone. In a low whisper she continued. "You earned yourself a reward, Heavy."

Some troopers saddled up into the walker, which soon rumbled forward. Up ahead lay a mountainous region, the pirates had built their camp at a hillside. Two warehouse buildings and a bunker built into the hill was flanked by an array of automated turrets. About thirty pirates stood guard, armed with an electic assortment of weaponry that ranged from light repeaters, blaster rifles and even some old-fashioned sluggers. Several E-webs had been emplaced alongside the turrets, manned by the pirates. Pirate officers marched across the fortifications, bellowing out commands and threats.

A few corpses lined the area, judging by their livery they were probably pirates who had decided to break ranks upon seeing their fleet getting shot out of the sky and had been punished for their lack of obedience. With their flotilla wasted and those transport vessels that had managed to get off into space an easy prey for the Omega fleet, there was nowhere for them to go. As they heard the heavy footsteps of the walker ominously hit the ground, the pirates were thrown into frantic activity, manning their E-webs and activating the turrets.

One pirate, deciding that discretion was the better part of valour, tried to run but an officer produced a blaster pistol and shot him in the back of the head. "Not a step back!" he bellowed out dramatically, mainly because this writer likes making obscure references. "Get in line, you maggots. There's nowhere for you to run." The earth shook when the walker fired its heavy mass driver cannon into the enemy fortifcations, blowing apart two turrets and sending several pirates to a fiery death at once, throwing up earth.

As the air was filled with a brutal cacophony of sound from lasers and the thunder of the heavy cannon, the exit ramp at the walker's rear hatch lowered, Siobhan and several other troopers emerged out of it. Deftly wielding her lightsabre Siobhan spun it to block incoming blaster fire targeting them, reflecting it back to the shooters as the walker's big gun fired, causing small tremors when its shells hit the enemy base.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

East Camp with @[member="Lenavina Martin"] & @[member="Sarge Potteiger"]

While Siobhan and Hevana got to work blowing up people, Tegaea's transport was still descending. The bombers and interceptors had done their work well, and there was relatively little flak coming up from the pirate's positions. As the gunship came in, it opened a heavy fire on those positions which were still in the open.
Tegaea touched down and quickly began organising her forces. Mech and soldiers began to spread out, dealing with enemies as they saw them.

Tegaea herself then took wing again, heading for @[member="Jak Sandrow"], and docking bay 71, aiming to come from behind the criminals and rescue the smuggler.

 

[Vora Kaar]

Zero had just uttered the words when the woman charged him with the blade. She was very quick in the heavy armor, but not as fast as Zero. He would allow the woman to come closer and moved out of the way like bull fighting. She stormed past him missing him entirely. Her blade striked the floor beneath them chipping pieces off and leaving a dent in the floor. Zero had his blade stinging like a scorpion at the back of the head. What was unexpected was the woman had spun around so fast to block his blade.

Zero ducked and weaved himself under the woman's blade. he was within inches of her body with his own. he jabbed the dagger into the weak spot of her stomach. He heard a grunt as the blade went hilt deep. with extreme speeds Zero moved himself out from her reach. the woman yelled as she pulled the bade out of her stomach. She threw it to the ground. growling she charged again but with her arms open grabbing Zero in a bear hug. She was absolutely strong crushing his chest.

Zer slammed his head into her helm making them both dizzy. with all the he could muster he stabbed the blue blade though her stomach again. he went hilt deep. the blade was long enough to cut though her entire stomach. the blue sword went though her entire body. She gargled what seemed blood and said "We will come back. And... you will die." With those words she fell to the ground.

Zero with out remorse pulled out the blade and went over to the control board. with a few strikes on a keyboards and a few clicks he had shut down the weapons on the station and locked the entire place down. Nobody could get in or out anymore. Over the com link he talked to the boss lady saying "Shields down. you may begin planetary assault if you wish." Only Zero would be leaving. he smiled as he picked up the dagger covered in crimson blood. With the dagger he threw it at the window and was pulled into the vacuum of space.

 

[Qae Shena]

@[member="Jak Sandrow"] @[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] @[member="Hevana Martin"]
"All stations, report."

"Co, ready."

"Turret gunnery, ready."

"Onboard gunnery, green."

"Pilot green, two lit. Up on repulsors and taking us out. Tempest Lead to Hangar Control, taking departure now."

The first mission for the Inimica and Allaina was ready for this. Oh, she was so ready. The black and silver bulk of her beloved gunship bomber was through the magcon field and out of the ship, right down towards the target. It wasn't hard to do this bit. This was the easy bit. With no escort, Allaina was a little tetchy, but that was normal. Instead, she had to go through the motions of doing her job properly.

"Tempest Lead here, ladies. I need targets marked as soon as possible before I can bring the pain. What do you have for me? I suggest clearing the blast zone first."

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

@[member="Allaina Mare"]

"Roger, Tempest Lead, direct yourself to co-ordinates 1180-1066. There are some pirate positions I want to go away. I see an AA position, a landed freighter and a prefab building. Target and destroy them!"

Tegaea's force had almost reached the docking bay where @[member="Jak Sandrow"] was about to make his payment. They took up positions so that when the very surprised criminals arrived they could provide a helping hand.

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

@[member="Hevana Martin"]

Bloodshed, the anguished screams of wounded sentients that got roasted by blaster fire and dismembered by shells. Countless blaster bolts sizzling through the air to create quite a lightshow. The earth shook when the walker fired its big gun, throwing up earth and causing small fires when it hit upon a turret. One shell missed the target and struck the wall of one of the buildings, blowing in a large hole and creating a small fire. Walls came tumbling down, some of the pirates were so unlucky to get hit by bricks due to standing too close.

Despite the natural cowardice of their kind, who after all preyed on those less able to defend themselves, the pirates defended themselves with the determination of condemned men who knew they would die in any case, manning the E-webs and unleashing a hailstrom of laserfire at any Omega troopers that came close. But one by one their turrets were knocked out by missiles and their emplacements destroyed. Several rounds struck the walker, but while some struck most of them just seemed to bounce off its heavy durasteel plating.

To put it plainly, the pirates were not equipped to fight a professional force and seeing their mighty flotilla rain down upon the planet after being shot out of the sky gave their morale a severe blow. As the pirate ranks thinned the mercenary force advanced grimly, seeking cover behind rocks when the pirate fire became too intense. Siobhan led the charge, her lightsabre moved in a fury as she deflected bolts coming towards her, aggressively sending them towards the shooters. She broke into a sprint as she avoided bolts coming towards her. An E-web shooter opened fire, unleashing a true salvoe, but then one of the mercenaries took him out with a shot to the head that pierced his helmet visor.

An auto-turret unleashed a barrage of laserfire towards her and she amplified her speed, wrapping herself in a Force barrier as she charged, spinning her sabre fast to deflect shots, then temporarily seeking some cover by diving towards some rocks. As she emerged and the turret turned its sights towards her Siobhan stretched out with the Force, ignoring the incoming blasts and the pirate hordes that were so close to her now. The turret was auto-controlled, it did not have a crew to man it, but she could do something to assume direct control over it. With a tug from the Force the turret's gun was suddenly turned around into the direction of the surprised pirates behind it.

Before whatever mechanism that controlled its targeting could override it, the turret had opened up a volley that mowed down pirates all around it as Siobhan allowed it to blast indiscriminately at anything that got into its firing line. Pirates ran for cover, others starting lobbing grenades at the turret, which just increased the confusion. Seeing their probable fate, some pirate squads tried to break ranks and make a run out of camp, but then they came under sniper fire from the secondary team deployed from the west, thus being effectively pinned down. Seeing this, a few pirates turned tail and ran towards the bunker, trying to get the door open, the rest kept on firing, realising that they would die anyway. So the surviving pirates made their final stand, seeking shelter in what was left of the buildings that flanked the concrete bunker.

"C'mon. Wipe them out. All of them!" Siobhan called out and charged. The directive was to wipe out the scum and thus it would be done. With a tug from the Force Siobhan raised a large piece of rock and levitated it, then threw it towards a group of four retreating pirates so that it came crashing into them, producing satisfying crunches and spilling blood onto it. Siobhan stormed onward after the rock had landed, reaching out with the Force she grabbed ahold of a pirate and knocked him with a force push into the burning fire, his agonised screams filling the air as he was incinerated.

Siobhan paid no heed to that as the sound of explosions filled the air, buildings were scorched by blasterfire, friend and foe alike engaged in the dance of death. She tugged a grenade free from her belt and hurled at an E-web emplacement, then, feeling sweaty and so very much alive, leapt into the fray to engage her foes with her blade.

 

[Cira]

[C'mon. Wipe them out. All of them!]
There was a time that Cira held a fondness for pirates. One band in particular, the Blue Star Pirates, held a special place in her heart, reminding her of another time. Another place.

Another life.

Now, everything was different. The erupting sounds of blaster fire and deafening blasts filled the air. Her breath came in heavy, beads of sweat trailing down her temples and soaking into her hair. She'd down her own bit of blasting throughout the fight, utilizing several thermal detonators that left a billowing inferno in her wake.

Now it was getting up close and personal, as Cira gave a grunt as she strafed to the left and then to the right to avoid incoming bolts of blaster fire. A pirate came at her, giving a savage yell as he was joined by another. A buttstock to the face gave a rather satisfying crunch to the first, a yowl of pain echoing in her visor as she turned to send a volley of bolts into the stomach of the second. The scent of blood, seared flesh, and smoke filled her nostrils but she was not done yet.

The first pirate with the bloody nose came stumbling after her, but a swift sweep of her leg clipped him behind the knees, sending him flying backwards with a loud heavy thud. There was a charge up of her powercell, and the snapping of her arm directing the blasterriffle's muzzel between the Pirate's eyes. Without a semblance of hesitation, a loud and bright flash of energy soon bore a path through his brain.

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

Sarge had found himself a very uncomfortable position to squeeze into that gave him firing lines on everyone while allowing himself to remain mostly hidden and protected. A double click on his throat mic signaled Teg he was in position.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

Tegaea received the message and replied with a triple click of her own. That was the signal for @[member="Sarge Potteiger"] to engage when he was ready, and rescue @[member="Jak Sandrow"].

Meanwhile, the battle continued at the Eastern Mesa. Walkers were being landed, and their combined firepower drove back the pirates to the series of tunnels and passages cut into the mesa.
"All units engage, but watch out for ambushes! @[member="Lenavina Martin"], are you on the ground?"

 

[Jak Sandrow]

OOC: It's not that I need "rescuing," I just need the heat off my back.
IC:
Jak leaned up against his ship, the Nighthawk. He watched as his boss, Crime Lord Kirroj the XXXVI, along with several bodyguards. Kirroj looked a mixture of emotions ranging from anxiety to anger to outright fear. The bodyguards looked apprehensive, but that was probably normal for them.
As Jak stood up fully, he noted some dark corners where a sniper would have a perfect view of him and Kirroj. He just hoped that @[member="Tegaea Alcori"] had sent someone to distract the Crime Lord.
"Ach!" grunted the T'landa til. "Every time I try to make some profit, some mercenary group tries to get most of it." Looking at Jak, he said, "I'm glad you are here, Jak. I will be appropriating your ship for transport out of here. Do not attempt to protest, or Brick here will have to plug you, and I don't think you want that, now do you?"
While Jak stared dumbfounded (he'd come to drop off his glitterstim), Korraj took a cursory glance over the freighter. "Mmm, not bad. Be glad, Jak, you are in my favour, else you would be dead now. Good luck keeping those mercenaries busy."
As Korraj lumbered towards Jak's ship, the bodyguards kept their weapons trained on Jak.
"Now would be a good time, guys," he said under his breath.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?!?!?!?" bellowed Brick.
Or not under my breath. Uh oh.
(OOC: Cue 2 sniper blasts from @[member="Sarge Potteiger"]. I want the rhino.)

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

"What an idiot...", Sarge whispers to himself, eye getting close to his scope as he scans it across the aggressors in this situation. He was carrying a DMR, so while it wasn't a sniper, it allowed him to use an assault rifle as one.

Smile forming, he flicks his fun switch to single fire. Multiple shots, several a target. All of them well aimed; he was an expert assassin after all.

There would be no chances for their 'friend' to get harmed.

Not. A. Single. One.

 

[Jak Sandrow]

As Jak watched Kirroj thump towards his (HIS!) ship, he figured he would have to at least give it a shot.
He chuckled at the pun, and prepared to draw on the bodyguards, who, for their position, couldn't see that their boss would be leaving them behind, too.
As his hand flew for his blaster -
