Silver Guardian
LOCATION: One of many freighters docked Aboard the Flagship. Moving to Lower Maintenance Ducts
Cargo docking, the rocking of the freighter against the walls of the ship, metal greeting metal. One of many small freighters being unloaded, just routine and nothing to worry about for anyone on board. Kei meditated, right until the very last minute, aiding his fellow Jedi Knight @[member="Vulpesen"] in holding the ruse. Nothing came from the freighter, the ships, the movement, the bustle of cargo and everything else should mask them quite well. @[member="Vulpesen"] and @[member="Michael Sardun"]'s stronger force connection useful, in keeping the front going.
Kei returned @[member="Vexander Graves"] nod, this was it. Looking to @[member="Michael Sardun"] again, his brother in this from the beginning, he breathed deep of the force, holding up a hand into a fist, an unspoken signal from his wrist device to this stealth squad. An Echani gift from @[member="Taiden Keth"] to every Jedi, just a common wrist link, silent hand communication turned into a signal. Giving one tap on it's side, beeps, or easily reproduced binary language (Morse code), one tapped beep for hold, two for danger, three for go.
Busy voices outside, troopers dealing with the individual freighters, there was a long line, and they had to wait for the right time. When they could slip in unnoticed, that was critical, fighting here in the open would be next to pointless. Reaching out into the force, Kei tried to see and sense the steps of the soldiers dealing with the cargo, more importantly their attention. Their pilot was a droid, he'd not been hard to program with the correct, boring and mundane responses.
Holding on a knife edge... the fist signal turned into a full palm, spread wide. Tapped with the sound to go.... That split second they couldn't lose, when eyes were elsewhere, turned to a distraction, and tired troopers had just enough on their mind to be distracted by the two dozen or so small ships and freighters in the cargo bay. The floor of the freighter was cut away, along with the floor of the Apex below it, dropping through. A maintenance hatch was cut through to a lower level rung, using sabers to turn metal into hot sludge, wildcard's welding it back in place above them while they moved. Two droids re-covered the spot on the ship they'd cut through. Though the floor would eventually be found out, at the moment a ship was on top of it, and well covered by metal on all sides, as well as the hole patched up roughly, it wouldn't pass inspection, but it would buy them time.
It was time to split up in the ducts.... big enough for one man, sometimes big enough for several. The maintenance ducts allowed them to move unseen from the main force, straight through the lower parts of the ship.
Maintenance Ducts, Heading for Fire control... the schematics on the ship had been helpful, helpful to know what design of ship they'd come across. In and they had not been spotted yet, Kei hoped... but that wouldn't last, even moving carefully as they were, someone would eventually spot them. Thankfully they'd be killed silently and quickly by the wildcards who were close combat, ship to ship combat specialists, very nasty in this kind of behind the lines action.
