Aedan Miles didn't speak anymore his mouth set in a savage snarl as he continued to hack his way through the prisoners foolish enough to not flee to their cells each death rang out through the force enhancing his capabilities as he reached out for the one not entirely organic. Around him his blade sang as his body moved unconsciously through the hallway hacking the prisoners to bits often times not stopping until they had lost all of their limbs before bisecting their bodies. Back in the hangar his forces had landed in those with the capability scrambled to locate the source of the transmission knowing that if that person escaped they would be in for many sleepless nights hunting them down. Finally one of them managed to trace it to a hangar calling out that info almost at the same time as Aedan found it as he spun on his heel and started marching towards it absently cutting down any prisoners who got in his way his eyes unmoving as they glared dead ahead of where he was headed.

 

[BSO-0806]

Location: Dead End Prison
Objectives:
1. Save the prison
1.a. Rendezvous with the other Mandalorians
1.b. Arrange for pickup of Cynthia Solus
1.c. Support the Mandalorian strike team engaging Qujak, Te'dak, Dela, Carona, and Kriick

Allies: [member="Yasha Australis Cadera"] [member=Atheus] [member="Cynthia Solus"] [member="Aedan Miles"] [member="Stardust Australis Skirae"] [member="Atasihd Zi"] [member="Kaine Australis"] [member="Jor Kvall"]

> Cynthia's rescue has been accomplished, although not by Besenth'osk. Nonetheless the remote directives had already been sent to the M-22T gunship, and it would be too late to tell it to disengage from its hyperspace jump. Therefore Besenth'osk sends no further message. The ship's computer can decide what to do once it enters the system. ▓

> Just as he caught up with the main force of Mandalorians, a trio of soldiers broke away from the main body. Seeing this, Besenth'osk references their route against his digital copy of the facility map, and deduces that their goal is to regroup with the lone operative, caught by himself just as the prisoner cells have been deactivated. Assessing the situation, he decides that his support of the main group is not imperative. Mand'alor herself is there, after all, and reinforced with strong allies. Comparatively, three is a small number in a riot. Having a fourth member goes a long way to prolonging the survival of a commando squad. ▓

> Hence Besenth'osk readies his X-45 rifle and follows. The process of getting the weapon into firing readiness causes him to fall about ten seconds behind the other three. This is not a troubling development, however. Vanguards can be of great value when there is a certain measure of standoff between them and the main force, especially when moving through hostile-free territory (and given the situation, and the direction they are coming from, there is a negligible chance that any prisoners would stumble across their path). They enter into the main corridor of the prison, shooting off of which are numerous side corridors, like ribs. ▓

> Besenth'osk reaches the main corridor entryway, having done all he ought to, and yet finding that calamity is always just a heartbeat away. En route to rescuing the solus vod1, that man is bumrushed by a quintet of freshly-escaped prisoners in one of the nearby side corridors and is slain in unceremonious fashion, a sight that neither Besenth'osk nor the trio bore witness to. What Besenth'osk does catch sight of is the rounding of that corner by the attack team and their sudden encounter with the five escapees, resulting in nearly instantaneous deaths of two of them. ▓

> At the first sight of the enemy, Besenth'osk readied his tracy'uur2. Some might complain that the objective was to subdue the prisoners. But you cannot blame a droid for his actions; it's dictated by his programming. Said programming authorizes him to use reasonable force to deter threats to his vode, and since some have perished already, lethal countermeasures are authorized. Any further complaints can be addressed to Sora Talus. As the computerized scope of the X-45 is perfectly designed to interface with Class 4 beskar'ad3 without any need for aftermarket modifications, Besenth'osk does not need to raise it to his shoulder. Instead he holds it at the hip, with just his right arm, leaving his left free to retrieve and arm a CryoBan grenade. The droid interface on his gun patches the visual feed from the scope directly to his central computer. With only minimal adjustment of the servomotors in his arm, he takes aim and fires at the very moment that the Morgukai, Qujak, kicks the last surviving member of the strike force. ▓

> The shot comes from Qujak's right, from the open corridor leading to that corner around which the Mandalorians had come face-to-face with the prisoners. In their attack on the Mandalorian, he had jumped back, which in turn drew Qujak from the cover of the corner wall into the open for execution of the two-steps-then-kick. And thus the narrow-beam blaster bolt from (as the X-45 scope's rangefinder told Besenth'osk) 100 meters away would arrive, outside of his peripheral vision, and in all but the most unforeseeable of circumstances, bury itself neatly into Qujak's brain for what ought to be an instantaneous kill. ▓

> And if that is the case, Besenth'osk would only have a little more work to do in order to complete this objective. The Weequay with a spear and the Nikto with bloody fists are the only other enemies that Besenth'osk can see right now, but he had also noted some inaccurate blaster shots erupting from the hallway towards the last friendly in the area. So there is at least one more. He begins to run a visual recognition on the visible ones against the prisoner manifest. It may prove useful, or it may wind up being irrelevant. Who can say? But that's a droid for you; always by-the-book. ▓

> The last remaining member of the strike team has been dazed by the kick into the wall, but upon recovery, will have taken note of the sniper fire and will tactically withdraw back around the corner in an attempt to draw the adversaries after him. From what this Mandalorian has ascertained from the few moments of encounter with the enemy, he judged that the Nikto, at least, was likely to give chase, if not more. Hence he'd have to create some distance in order to stay alive, unlike his vode. ▓

“Oh you little poodlemonkey!” Yasha whipped around as Stardust burst in on Vandra. “She’s Wiley, Star! I’m going to make for the distress-call cell, before Aedan blows the whole ruddy station!”

Yasha pitched down the corridor at a sprint, her HUD giving direction to the run. Further on, a togruta in a cell was in distress, what looked like an innocent man had the potential to be crushed in this unforgiving place. At the sight of the Infernal running down the hall, inmates either moved or were cut down. There was no remorse. There was no mercy.

She did not have the time. Miles was going apoplectic from the sounds of it. And the prisoners who weren’t herded back to their cells were being liquidated by the forces within, bolstered by the likes of that new Mandroidian BSO. Yasha made a mental note to thank the droid later. Maybe fix up the droid repair and maintenance bay in the Defiant Mantis and the Sundari Palace.

All that faded when she got to Atasihd Zi’s cell and saw the condition the man was in. “Shab!”

His vitals checked, Yasha administered a spray of Sovereign Specific, the Mandalorian-made superbacta-like inhalant, and bundled him up.

“Can you run or am I carrying you?” Yasha said, a two guards swung in behind her.

“Ma’am! We’ve got him. You focus on keeping us alive.”

“The central spear then. Get him to my ship.”

“Faster! Get them on the ship!” Escapes prisoners continued trickling toward the derelict and up the hatchway while Si and his pirates covered any Mandalorian or guard assault.

It was all going rather well in a chaotic sense of the word, before Si nodded to Dono for an update on the indecently angry Aedan Miles. Dono glanced down to his ice packs, flicking between feeds until he found the marauding pirate King for himself.

“Ah... Si?! He’s not going to the centre spear.”

“Eh? Where’s he headed, then?” Si shot two guards in centre mass, double tapping each and watching their bodies fall. One looked to be moving, maybe he’d better slit the man’s throat.

Dono yanked his slicer gear from the socket, and unable to put it in his satchel for his shaking fingers, dumped the entire shamozzle on the ground and booked it into the ship. “Here!! He’s coming here!!! Start the ship! Take off!! Gooooo!!!!!”

Si stood stock still. A shadow passed through the corridor, determined footsteps rang out.

Death was coming.

“Mmmmmmmmkay! They’re on their own! Take off! Take off now!!!” Si ran up the hatch just as he turned around and watched Aedan Miles power walk into the hangar bay.

“Hahahahaha!!! You missed me again, fluffypants! Take that, llllllloser!” Maybe the cybernetics were off? Or was Si really that stupid that he thought he escaped, as the hatch rose and the ship wobbled off its landing struts to take off.

She felt weight upon her back and bucked backwards before quickly turning and slicing hoping to force the girl on the defensive as she let a breath out eyeing her down with a cold gaze

you have one chance to surrender....comply or die

Spinning her saber stardust aimed righr st the Sith, then she began her approach again right towards the Sith spinning a blade around several times before she growled and roared swing right with both her sabers....leaving a just enough of. an opening she unguarded her weapons on her hips

Aedan watched as they started to take off turning off the lightsaber pike he released it hearing it hit the deck as his hands came up in front of him and he reached out with the force his anger and rage flowing through him as he reached out with both hands and imagined the ship coming to a halt before him. The ship hovered just outside of the hangar in open space as the Pirate King flexed his fingers and started to bring his hands together his eye locked determinedly on the ship as he exerted his power in the force starting to crush it a dark snarl on his lips as the Dark Jedi of Bogan surrounded him protecting him while he literally crushed the ship the pirates were attempting to escape in. Across the prison those who could feel the force would feel it flare up from the hangar the darkness in it almost overwhelming as Aedan let himself fall into his rage exploiting it fully.

Qujak lands his foot back down and watched as the mandalorian ran away. Although he does not spot the sniper in time to react, however Kriick spots the droid in time to react. The Nikto dives towards Qujak in time to prevent his head becoming more paint on the walls. Although the shot did still hit grasing deep on the side of the Morgukai. The two quickly got back up. Dela helped the twi'lek walk from the nasty wound on her abdomen. "Te, we need to get going. One got away and now a karker has a sniper shooting at us. Take this." Dela said tossing the blaster rifle to her beloved.

The group would go around the adjacent corridor that the Mandalorian ran down. Using the security card they opened up another door that closed behind them. Te'dak would blast the panel behind them frying its circuitry. They could only move as fast as Carona could so that they remained as a group. Lady luck had being on their side as they continued getting to a hanger without resistance. There was a small craft in the hanger. Ironically it was one of the prison transports used to bring them in. Not this time though, they was using it to escape. Te'dak had plans to collect the Rusty Rancor first, It gave them time to also plan for their next move.

The five of them boarded the transport. Dela would scavenge for a bacta spray or a kolto patch anything she could use on Carona and Qujak. Te'dak got into the pilot seat, Carona laying down on one of the long seats. The Shuttle would lift off and began to fly out. The coms already made the ship and that it was been hijacked. As it was leaving the hanger someone atop of a ship on the outside the station managed to fire a tracker to the hull of the ship

To be continued in Ylik...

Haha! Yet again, Captain Si Troenskjegg outwitted the Mandalorian Hordes! The Pirate King was no match for the best bits of Si left over from his near-perfect survival of Er’kit.

“We’re safe. How many did we get, Dono?”

“Thirty seven! Two’s murderers! A bunch of for-“ Dono’s voice broke as some of those how said they were Force Users grabbed their heads. Three stumbled into the sides of the spacecraft and clawed at the walls. “Si? Si, what’re they…”

“Si! Dono! We’re not moving!”

“Engines on full, Goob! Engines on full, you voorpah!” Si roared, leaping over to the cockpit to view the turning guns of the Defiant Mantis. “Get us out of here!”

Goob flung his hands off the controls. “I can’t!”

“No, no, no! I won’t have my crushing victory destroyed by a tractor beam!” Si flung himself in the pilot’s chair, and punched the after-burners. The force users in the ship flung themselves toward the hatch controls, as Si looked at the aft view to see an enraged Aedan Miles with his hand raised toward the ship.

“Oh! What a squeeze!”

So passed the pirate and slave-killer Si Troenskjegg, his ship rumpled to shrapnel, then blasted to powder by the Defiant Mantis’ many guns. The destruction of the Dead Eye Prison was a failure, prisoners crushed to death by a viciously angry King.

“This one doesn’t know the meaning of Surrender until you bash her in the temples, Star! Smack her! Smack her hard!” Yasha took off running, as reports of Aedan Miles thundered through, augmented by a small corner of her HUD which showed his progress through the sec-cams.

Aedan was a tempest, a danger to himself, others and the structural integrity of the already suicidal station. It was as beautiful as the Eye of Kad to see, a man at his vicious state. A moment for Yasha to gladly ponder how good it was that Miles was on their side.

Today, at least.

Pushing through the station, the influx of Red Fangs, and the redoubling of the Guards was calming and quelling the insurrection. Nobody was coming to rescue them, the Veman in the penal station were either fleeing or deceased.

One of the Infernal’s slicers began to backtrack the work of [member="Kyra Quez"] to its’ origin, and the Infernal sent a squad after her. Although one small ship escaped the station, Yasha put the footage of Si Troenskjegg’s demise on all monitors and all holo projectors.

The inmates watched as with a hand, Aedan Miles crushed their insurrectionists in their escape. Reaching the central command spire, Yasha had her team take control of the station and begin locking out the hackers still attached in. Slicer ice bathed circuits, and resistance began to die in the push of the Mandalorians.

Soon, there would be nothing left but the clean-up. Bodies bundled up and vacuum sealed in simple black bags, before being shot out of the Dead Eye Prison into the Eye of Kad.

All who believed in the Mandalorian ways believed that death was the ascension to Manda. None held position over the other in Manda, neither slave nor Mand’alor had precedence. All were equal, thus few had issue with mass graves, or such disposing of the dead.

The prison would be lighter in load, made ready for future prisoners and insurrectionists like Te Veman. Like those Dark souls, who preyed on Mandalore as if the Mando’ade were their business.

Standing in the Command Spire away from the consoles, the din of work bustling around her, Yasha Cadera stared outward at the Eye of Kad.

Destruction, as with creation, was beautiful. With destruction came the application of new raw materials to construct a future better shaped for their ad’ike. With destruction came the revenge of regrowth and rebirth. A grip in her ribcage pulled at her internal compass. This was what Mandalore needed, wasn’t it? Consistent deconstruction and reformation?

Even the horrors of a singularity were better than the Netherworld, even this mire and bloodshed was better than Hell. Ra’s Ward would turn Mandalore into a paradise, a retreat from the ravages of Aruetiise and their wars. She would create in the place of rubble and raw materials, the bastion of Manda’yaim, and return to the Great Mother as a worthy vessel…

… finally worthy for one brief moment’s peace before her end.

“…. Mand’alor? S-sorry to bother you, Ma’am, but the prisoners are in lock-down.. looks like BSO-0806 and the others are doing a fine clean up on the stragglers. What do you want to do with the troops left from their clean sweeps?”

“Send them on, to salvage the derelicts. I want every useful isotope or scrap of metal brought back to Contruum and Wayland for processing.”

“Elek, Mand’alor.”

Peace. A whisper in her ear told Yasha she would never find it.

As she had the blade she thought to continue but she had to leave before they fully regain the station again, She chucked the sword into whatever served as lightning in this area charged with lightning to have it surge and shatter the lights so that she could escape the corridor while it was dark. She did her best to run to the nearest hanger and grabbed what ever ship she could to leave and head to the same direction the pirates stolen ship went, She will fight them again but it wont be this day that she will face them at full she had much recovering to do before then.
