Demon's Reach Reclamation [complete]

[Miss Blonde]

It had been years and with the loss of the Ravens it was time to start getting things back that were yours, the woman had already taken the Dragon Palace Casino and now it was time to take Demon's reach mining facility that she had built years ago.

A small shuttle dropped out of hyper space of the Black Rose planet Demonsgate, and while she was aware of the government change from neutral to whatever the hell these people were Miss Blonde was confident that she could pull in as your every day mine worker would do a scout the area for a decent place to mine some of the ore, and really she just wanted to acquire what she had lost when she left the faction.

So breaking atmosphere the small civilian class shuttle skimmed over the hellish world in search for a single place that had been lost for a very long time.

 

[Miss Blonde]

Flying over volcanic mountain ranges and ash the shuttle skimmed across the barren and fire covered planet, she hadn't been here since the last time she went here with Chiasa to make some kind of body for flannigan. Now a days she was just looking to get her mine back and start reading a few phrik products in today's marketplace and criminal world, a lot of people would pay top dollar for it and she was happy to sell.

So Miss Blonde sighed from within her cockpit and looked back to see the crew she had hired, they were all professionals from different walks of life and they could all handle themselves, since the collapse the mine had been abandoned and forgotten about and even the black rose didn't know of its existence, at least not to get knowledge.

Dipping down bellow the clouds blonde could see it, she saw the point of the Arakyd prefab base and even though it was just a dot on the horizon she knew with every passing second she'd get what was rightfully hers.

 

[Miss Blonde]

A dot turned began ti turn into a blob and then to shapes that gradually began to define themselves into a solid form. It was her alright, the Demon's Reach mining facility that once belonged to the mighty criminal faction. Now Miss Blonde wasn't stupid by any means, she knew the codes had been changed and that the shields if they still functioned weren't going to open up for anyone, that's why she had used a copycat Sprite and had wired it to give off an old Raven signal.

The ship hovered over the facility and it seemed that old Titan industries shield generator was still working, now that was quality engineering, thank you Kuhn family. She'd have to send them a thank you card sometime, but for now the ship lowered itself down onto one of the old docking bays and stalled itself.

Blonde stood up and faced the crew of men and women and spoke.

"This is Demon's Reach, now there are probably some less than friendly droids left over. These are HA droids so we are talking top quality stuff, it's likely they are still functional. I've got us loaded up with shock slugs so aim for center mass and head shots to fry their systems. Got it?" Blonde asked.

Everyone nodded then Blonde walked over to the door and took a deep breath.

 

[Miss Blonde]

The automatic door slid open to a a snapped up pistol, and Miss Blonde holding it. Everything was dark and it seemed that the generator was on its last leg. The place was quite hot but life support systems were functional, the lights were down and all power was being used in the generator and life support systems.

Peering down the hallway Blonde didn't see anything off, however she couldn't see much. So grabbing a flashlight she held it up in a shooting stance beneath her pistol and turned it on. Showing an empty hallway she pushed up and started to step forward slowly.

"Clear." She said as she stepped forward.

The woman wasn't particularly happy about coming back and taking her facility in this manner, but beggars couldn't be choosers and while she was thrilled to be getting it back she was hoping this venture wouldn't be horribly expensive, but from what she was seeing really the place would just need some tune ups and generator which she had brought with her on the shuttle. Always come prepared.

 

[Miss Blonde]

"What are we looking for?" Orange said as he lifted up an assault rifle.

"The control room and the generator room. Which is beneath us, I want you to take B team and make your way down there. I'll move with A to get to the control room and get in the system." Blonde said then gave Orange a pat on the shoulder for the go ahead.

With everything they needed, Blonde pushed forward and down the dark hallway. Behind her various people holding weapons and scanners proceeded with her, it was pretty certain that they were going to run into problems but it seemed that for now things were going to be ok.

But that all changed on a drop of a dime when something flashed across the beam of light and down a hallway, only getting a quick glimpse she could tell it was one of the droids Chiasa had left here to fend off attackers. She shook her head and cursed under her breath. That was perfect, hopefully there wouldn't be too many of them, there were only so much bullets.

 

[Miss Blonde]

With the teams splitting up Blonde moved over and had her squad move into a two man column as they marched down the hallway. Coming upon the location where the flash of movement was Blonde aimed her pistol down on the left side of the hall while a member of the black ties aimed their rifle down the right.

"Clear." Blonde whispered.

"Clea-" a scream was heard and soon the black tie member was pulled into the darkness with only a sick snap being heard afterwards.

A firing line was formed quickly and the team of criminals began to pour dozens of shock rounds down a dark hallway only illuminated by their flashlights.

"Hold your fire!" Blonde yelled.

"Does anyone know what happened to Jade!?"

"Jade is gone Ma'am!" One of her men said as they quickly reloaded.

Blonde cursed aloud and popped a new magazine into her pistol. They had to keep moving to get control of these droids.

 

[Miss Blonde]

With the loss of their teammate the team kept going through the halls of the facility and even though it had been years she knew the place like the back of her hand. They needed to go left after reaching the end of this hallway then right and the last door at the end of the hall was the control room. Blonde kept a calm focus about her and she was on the move to get this over with, she certainly didn't like knowing that her men could get picked off one by one in the dark but they had come too far to go back.

"Orange sit rep." She said into her mic.

"Well we've encountered a few battle droids, Red is hit but he'll make it and were in the old generator room now in the basement." Orange responded.

"Jade is dead, something got him. We're moving in to the control room soon." Blonde said as they turned the corner to enter the last hallway.

Now it was just a straight shot to the control room and it would a simple process of slicing to regain full control.

 

[Miss Blonde]

There was another flash as blonde leveled her pistol, she was a trained marksman and knew that was a shot she couldn't pull off despite having her heart skip a beat. She took a deep breath and sighed afterwards, looking out towards the hall she saw the control room door and standing in front of it was something she didn't want to admit was real.

A huge, hulking, and angry looking droid armed to the teeth was their opponent, and he was stained with the blood of Jade. Blonde and her team leveled their weapons and began to push forward slowly waiting for their boss to give the order to shoot. Now Blonde wasn't going to light up the hallway with fire just because she saw they stood off in the distance ominously, she knew they had to take this thing apart surgically.

"Alright, Orange. How are we looking on refueling the generator." she whispered into her mic intensely.

"About to start now, why?"

"Wait for my signal to fuel it." She said softly.

aiming her pistol dead center of the mechanical monster the creature flashed into the darkness and the woman knew an attack was coming. But she had to strike it just when she knew the droids shield wouldn't be up.

 

[Miss Blonde]

"NOW!" she yelled.

The team downstairs began to fill the generator with fresh power cells causing power to restore to other areas of the facility, the air conditioning went came on, the PA, but most importantly was the lights. Bright LED lights flashed and soon they revealed the metal monstrosity charging it's way towards them, and it didn't have time to process what was coming their way.

The muzzles of the team's rifles and pistols ignited in a furry of gunshots riddling the monster with shock slugs that caused it to spaz and fritz until it fell over and deactivated. Blonde sighed and walked over to the droid putting two more in its head just to be sure.

"Blue, get brown into the control room and start slicing. I need to go check something out." She said calmly.

The woman turned around and would start to make their way towards the phrik ore loading bay where the walkers would dump the ore brought in from the mountain ranges.

 

[Miss Blonde]

Slowly stepping around through the facility it seemed there was only a skeleton crew remaining when the black rose took over everyone fled for fear of Sith. And withorange having dealt with the majority of the droids left behind the facility was theirs, blue had sliced into the system and they were making headway on what was going to be a very profitable venture, while she felt bad for Jade they were going to have to go on without him.

Standing in front of the phrik bay she pressed a few buttons on the automatic door and opened it to quite a lovely sight.

"Jackpot." She said with a smile.

Phrik ore and plenty of if was sitting in the bay and she was going to use every drop of it to get her standing back in the marketplace. With this facility up and running soon they would be ready to sell to the open and criminal markets, really she was quite happy with how it turned out.

"Orange, bring the ship around and activate the droids. Let's move some phrik."

 

[Miss Blonde]

The sound of the ship outside moved and soon it had found it's way to the dumping area. The ramp opened up and soon mining droids provided by hellhound strategic jumped down ti start loading phrik into the ship, the entire mission was a home run and soon Blonde would have to start paying taxes to the black rose, as much as she wanted to simply steal phrik they had to do this nice and legal in order to stay in business.

But for now she'd be good with having some spare phrik on hand to do what she wanted with, and it was always nice to trade with. Really Blonde just wanted to get the operation up and running and soon calls were being made to various people to inform them that they were open for business.

"Blue get the mining droids going again. We got product to sell." Blonde smiled and soon would step back out towards the ship to board up on and leave once the phrik was loaded.
