The jedi were either doing it on purpose or they seemed to believe themselves invincible.... The shots being deflected back would hit but the grenades thrown and ignored would rip into the walls of the small section. The explosions created by flooding the only way out of the room that connected to the station itself. The breaches quickly getting filled by water while two of the troopers behind their vong spoke. "Do they have a death wish?" "I don't think they read the map otherwise they wouldn't want this room breached." The grenades thrown at the sub would tear into it, the walkway leading to it and sides of the room damaged now.
The troopers had their equipment and throw more grenades the last grenades while they were cut down to breach the roof above them, death in the sith was certain and they served the voice of sector five. Someone who had shown on Zeltros that even in death they could still serve the One Sith. From outside the room the teams that were working on the facility looked detecting the explosions while more water rushed to flood in. The battle lord stayed there watching it as they swam moving the sharks who would and could be controlled. The surge of water going into the bays room would compromise it further while they waited sending one of the sharks in when it scented blood.
The padawan bleeding into the water was a fresh dose of chum, the troopers dying and their own bodies making the perfect bait while she swam underneath the submersible bay and started slashing into the bottom of the sub. The sabers planned by the sith, this was a sneak attack and an ignition pulse was simple for waterproof casing with the sickly red. The other teams working on the station itself while they continued to set charges, go for the scrubbers and environmental controls. The troopers facing off against the fighters were working while the final charges were laid. Soon they would sabotage the Republic's rift station and let them suffocate.
The troopers still present at the station scoffed watching the sight, while the troopers inside were moving about and being ignored their explosions ripping across the beaches. The rest swarmed letting the battle lord go and do what she needed to do. They had orders and with everything that was happening now it seemed their previous work was being rewritten by jedi hoodoo. The main team waited under the bay prepared as the place continued to breech. The words of the battle lord coming to them as she moved with the dive suit on. "Move...." She pushed them back while the rest of the group was moving to towards the rift.
Balaya's battlelord continued while the reports came in, her men were working on the rift and base while more of the seatroopers she had were getting killed. Those fighters were a problem but she wasn't going to worry about them just yet while the priority was here and capturing the progenitor. The sub had been attacked from above with grenades, there was the oil coming down into the water and she had slashed into its guts giving the engines an slice. The doors to the flooded sections were... sealed with only ones who wanted to die opening them and the station was cut off with the sounds of the sharks getting into the breached area more and more as the water rose.
Her hands were moving before she kicked off hearing it in the force and in the water. That scream, piercing the senses and sending her mind nearly over with madness while the sharks went frenzy... attacking some of the seatroopers under her command, attacking the vong who were shooting them. The plop of the blaster harpoons as they fired off into the sharks was enough before she was grappling with one and saw it. From the depths rising up finally like an Atrisian monster movie. The progenitor had come to the slaughter of her children and defilement while the battle lord motioned with her hands.
"Attack it, subdue the progenitor." The source of the kolto was their prize and she sent a message to Hion and the others, it was here and now they could take it as the seatroopers moved in with their harpoons fitted to the grapple cables. They tied it off and fired, the battle lord pressed for a moment to try and tame the beast but only served to distract it and draw its attention while she got closer and closer. The wisps of blood in the water where the harpoons entered the things flesh were more then enough for her to see and then it was struggling. More blood coming out when it struggled to tear the harpoons out.
"Master the progenitor has shown itself, we are engaging now." The battle lord kept moving, kept fighting and pressing as they let the other troopers and vong come in. Some more harpoons to snare it and others to restrain it while they moved. She wanted to please her master and make this a wonderful showing of the One Siths strength before they started to turn their attention back to the surface. The teams up there being led had found their way through the evacuated silk facilities and it was secured the stragglers captured and taken to a drop ship for processing while team gamma was in charge of roughing up [member="Selka Ventus"].
They would not be denied that however the troopers and battle lord who had been sent were marching and using the facility as a back door to the districts. Going towards the Republic's center and area as they met the team who had delivered and placed into their base the golden ropo. The screams coming from inside meaning it had waken up and now they could see one of the soldiers torn to shreds. They had a new goal this time while moving into the base and towards the Republic's submersible bay. Use the ones they might find there to go against the underwater fighters one way or the other... hopefully there was a laser cannon for defense but suicide crashing worked as well.
They kept moving while starweirds targeted the soldiers, the force sensitive ones screaming and the single target nature of the beasts something helpful. Some had been stopped by energy shields as the vong tossed razor bugs and used firejelly sprayers to disable. Letting the creatures resume their carnage. The quick movements to the bay and three submersible craft were there as teams of two were sent in. It would make no sense to have something without a way to defend itself from the creatures underwater so assuming there was at least one gun the troopers took off going down into the water to engage [member="Vaudin Miir"] after first letting him read the Republic IFF tags.
The battle lord looked as a sub was escaping, somehow it moved after explosions, sabers and several posts of work but it moved making everyone roll their eyes before sending word. "There is a submersible coming towards the city, it shouldn't makeit but since we know it shall be prepared." The beeping of acknowledgement came from the teams that had been sent to infiltrate the submersible bays across the city and the doors were being sealed or blocked. Funneling and plotting because there was more in preparation then there was in actual gallivanting and ignoring. Traps within traps of things set to shot and blow up what arrived.
The battle lord in the Republic base made sure their door was open still as the reports of others being closed came, once closed and ready they were moving off towards the control room of the base. They had defenses to activate and new targets to set while they sliced and diced through the soldiers guarding it. Deactivating energy walls and resetting the targeting parameters while adding their own. The sith were not being targeted but everything else in the base was theirs for the taking while they started sealing doors and the submersible bay was filled with several of the vong and sithspawn. "Master Balaya, we have the base, the Republic is dying and the trap is set."
"Very good commander." The sound of the zeltron on the other end was all that was needed as they stood there looking at it, they had what they needed and sent the messages to the other teams securing facilities and kolto, the troopers still in the streets while making sure their master knew what was going on and around with upates. Reports from below had the progenitor tangled and coming to them, the real trick was going to be that. "All fores we need aquatic cages and a carrier in the water. We'll get the progenitor and secure it while the jedi talk about how great they are or something. Either way make sure things are prepared to capture."
~Meanwhile at the Legion of Doom~
Balaya was looking over what they had... well okay she was done with that, the kolto was being transported away all but one vat of it. This center was like the others and offering little to no resistance as she stood on the third floor of the room looking over it, several meters deep and full of kolto from the rift. They had the main pipeline the Selkath not Silk used, not the republic what the selkath used for tens of thousands of years before the rift and silk stations were built. They had that and could take silks at the leisure, could take the Republic's at their leisure... so what does one do when faced with a vat several meters deep of kolto while her men ship off the rest.
You jump into it of course, with the jedi offering them no resistance in taking these facilities, the sith of team alpha needed to find something to do as Balaya
Scrooge Mcducked into the kolto her armor gleaming from the healing juice and the looks of her solders with her while she back stroked was more then enough to merit their attention. "What have you never seen the excitement of it all, come on now and enjoy this time. We have all that kolto going to the dropships." Her laughed was still there though while music played in her head one of the more diabolical songs ever created and you couldn't get it out of your head after hearing it.
Balaya finished up as the reports came in from her battle lords on their progress with the progenitor and the base, others were moving to the various kolto facilities and finding minimal resistance from the selkath and jedi. The fishies giving up or helping them in exchange for their lives since the other target the generators for the city were the target. The city sinking wouldn't kill them but it would hurt their trade with the outside world, make it more difficult to sell and rebuild if the sith were the only ones taking the kolto over their corpses. The dropships being loaded with Kolto and shipped off to the fleet above for [member="Mordecai Zambrano"] was more then enough.
The feeling and roar of glitter tore her attention away as she redressed in her equipment and felt the juice all over her making the small aches and pains go away, the scars from kaine and Ellain numbing and feeling good for the first time in a long time as she stretched and put her cloak back on in time to see a twi'lek arriving at the facility with her vong and Balaya spoke. "Whoa now.. and which one are you?" She was thinking about it for half a second letting her memory filters catch up while plotting and Lisa was proving more skilled then she had first thought. "You have done well apprentice, I think for your service you might even be strong enough to join the ranks of the one sith."
The grin that tugged at her face while she stood there and looked on from the window, more troopers were moving the kolto and hurrying now, they were preparing for something big and that was the major pushing while they converged on the silk facilities here in ahto city to take it. The Republic's were going to have no mercy but shipping off to one of the Coruscant offices the stragglers and if their ship was intercepted en route by rassilons and a washborne to be unloaded no one would think differently of it. Since they weren't killing them it made it easier on paperwork as well as resources to bury of dispose of them.
Balaya moved with the soldiers while she spoke putting them outside the room. " These jedi seem to have disappeared and there has been enough carnage in the streets for what we will do." Balaya remembered zeltros and what they had done once the body count was high enough, dead and dying would be her goal as she knelt focusing her energies and letting her force presence glow brightly while speaking low with a small rasp in her voice. "Mediis tenebris cadit e caelo, Et quod omnis lux tenebrae dies, Cupimus cordibus et mortem, Per manus ... nigrum, quod mortui resurgent! Tsaiwinokka Hoyakut..."
Balaya continued to meditate and raised an eyebrow while she heard the report, a sub has managed to get out of a trap that had been set up with actual effort, it just came in moved about and then left ignoring any damage... amazing she must have this god mode sub for herself and make it a sith weapon. The ones who had it well she guessed they were coming towards her and activating their god mode so she'd make sure things were set up... namely as the last of the kolto was loaded and secured for herself in this facility, that the others were secured, then the rst they were taking. As the soldiers moved the zeltron continued to meditate and chant.
"Mediis tenebris cadit e caelo, Et quod omnis lux tenebrae dies, Cupimus cordibus et mortem, Per manus ... nigrum, quod mortui resurgent! Tsaiwinokka Hoyakut..."
