Science Gone Wrong

[Darth Duellant]

Endor

Zeref had arrived moments before the man that he had hired for the job. He was still in his lightweight ship when he saw the site for setup. It was a small hut in the middle of the deep and lush forests of Endor, and it contained information and gear that the both of them would need to enter the facility. It was an underground facility at about 200 meters from where their hut was, and there was where Zeref would find the sith holocron, and information about what had happened. He knew the facility was a test site for the sith, but he also knew the sith weren't the ones doing the tests and dirty work.

Zeref landed his lightweight ship on a relatively open area, and walked out of the ramp. As soon as he did, he felt the fresh air and the breeze. It was soothing and the forest was calm - for now, only. As he entered the hut, he already had seen the hazard suits that they would wear for the assignment. Two of them. The coordinates were also there, but the only one that was going to need them, was Zeref himself.

Zeref sat in a wooden bench inside the hut, waiting for [member="Derriphan"]

 

[Derriphan]

Derriphan's rusty X-Tie Fighter sat down besides the ship of his employer with a noticeable thump after stuttering above the ground for a few moments. The ship was fairly out of shape, but for something he had stolen during a job it had turned out as surprisingly durable and trustworthy. It was obviously still an utter piece of junk, albeit one that could bring him from one planet to the next.

Expecting this job to be dangerous and dirty, the merc had brought his complete arsenal. His beloved shotgun in his hands, a slugthrower placed on his belt, a knife in his boot and a flamethrower dangling behind his back. It wasn't much compared to what other soldiers carried around, but at least he knew every weapon with a certain degree of intimacy.

As always his face was hidden below his mask, with green eyes darting out of it. Careful steps carried him inside the hut, while the gun his hands always moved left and right, making sure that nothing could get the jump on him. Inside he was meet by the figure which had hired him.

"I'm here. Tell me where to aim and I'll shoot."

As he heard the man coming inside the hut, he rose from his wooden bench to get the hazard suits, inside a black casing.

He opened the black casing and threw one of the hazard suits at the man, and took one for himself.

"We're not shooting yet. We have to trek for awhile to get there. Put these on."

He then started to put the hazard suit on. It was lightweight and offered resistance to basic infections and viruses from the Rakghouls. Any sort of physical contact made with those creatures was deadly.

After he put his hazard suit, Zeref left the hut and waited for the young man to get dressed.

The young clone looked at the black suit in his hands, then up to the man. After looking at him closely for another glance, he turned around and his left wandered up to his head, pulling off the mask that rested over it. Below it waited blond hair, which like his eyes was to vibrant and clean to fit with the pale, scarred skin around them. Pulling out a piece of clothe, he wrapped it around the lower half of his head before turning his head back to his employer, slowly putting on the attire handed to him. He didn't really had an identity to hide, but he simply refused to have strangers stare into his face.

"How far?"

He didn't tried to make smalltalk. A long walk would come with exhaustion before the fight even begun, and a good solider had to be prepared for such things. Once the suit fully encased him, he reached for his weapon which he had scattered around him, putting each of them in a position similar to the ones before.

"200 meters or so."

Zeref knew full well why they couldn't land their ships there - too suspicious, and it could attract undue attention. Best to do it the safe way. His voice now muffled by the hazard suit, he gripped his lightsaber in his right hand.

"Let's go."

As both men walked in the forests of Endor, they faced no troubles and no unnecessary situations. Zeref had the coordinates, and was leading the man. Zeref had a strange sensation that he was a bit too quiet. But he liked it that way.

After some minutes, they arrived at the place the coordinates would be. There was nothing here at first sight, but Zeref knew where the hatch of the facility was. As he approached a slight elevation in the surface, he kicked some leaves out of his way and there it was - a hatchet with a code pad. He inserted the 4 algarisms that were present in his holomap and notes. Once the hatch was open, he threw the holomap in the ground and smashed it, and he also ripped the notes apart, put it in his pocket.

The hatch opened, and immediately the screams of the rakghoul, tearing and ripping apart skin and bones down below. Zeref jumped down and a recorded message was heard

full lockdown in effect, please evacuate the facility

It kept repeating the same message, the facility was completely overrun by rakghouls and there was no power either. If Zeref were to ignite his lightsaber, i'd attract the monsters. All he could see was a pool of blood in front of him.

full lockdown in effect, please evacuate the facility

Zeref made a hand signal, telling [member="Derriphan"] to jump down.

[Derriphan]

As the hatch opened and [member="Darth Duellant"] already descended down into the facility, Derriphan heard the numbing cacophony of blood and flesh, of fear and faint automated cries for help. It was pretty much what he expected, suicide down in some forsaken hole on some forsaken little moon. At least he already got his money. For a the slightest moment the merc considered if he should just close the hatch and make a run for the man's ship while his employer would likely be shred to pieces by the monstrosities below.

"Well here goes nothing."

Derriphan's boots meet the ground below, already making more noise then he would've liked. The darkness was blinding, the clone could barely see the blood that slowly crawled over the floor towards his feet.

"Beautiful. I can't kill something if I can't even see it."

There was obviously a bit of frustration in his voice, as he addressed the other man waiting for him to explain the plan. Hopefully there was one.

"Shh, we're supposed to be quiet. You want to do this right, we need to be quiet and move slowly, so we don't have to fight the rakghouls."

Zeref had already worked there, and he hoped the scientists that worked after him didn't move the switch for the electricity, so they could both see what they were doing, killing or where they were going. Zeref was seeking the notes that the previous scientists had left, to further understand their research in genetics and mutations. This place was an obvious example of science gone wrong.

Zeref reached for the hatch, and closed it, making little noise, luckily that didn't alert the monsters down there with them. Zeref signalled the man to follow him, going in front, leading. After they jumped into the hatch, all they could see was a glass cubicle that had blood splattered all over it, and a metal door, that also had blood splattered all over and was broken, as if something wanted to leave. He already knew what had happened. There wasn't one cubicle. There were many. They were inside the main testing facility for the mutants, and to the far end of the room, there was a black metal door, that had a red light on top of it, and was closed shut. The red light was signalling danger and that the facility was on lockdown. As if the recorded message wasn't enough. There were about 10 cubicles, 5 on each side of the room they were in. All 10 of them were empty, and all of them had blood and the metal doors that were holding the experiments hostage - all open wide. They were relatively safe until they moved to the next area of the facility.

They both moved to the far end, and to the left - there it was. The black metal door that served as a containment for those things on the other side. The door was locked by some sort of code, on the number pad, and Zeref already knew the password. 2975 - he input those numbers in the pad and it unlocked the door. The noise made by it was minimal compared to the obnoxiously loud recorded message. That could serve as a cover for as long as they were near the radius of the noise.

When the door opened and both the men went through it, they were faced with three corridors. One in front, one on the left, and another one to the right. Zeref considered splitting up, and he even considered not even turning the lights on. But that would be suicide if the monsters found them eventually.

"Listen, you'll go to the right. That's were the electricity switch is. There'll be an office where the switch is, behind a desk. The code to deactivate the lockdown is 0001. The switch is next to a holopad where you input the code. Get it? Put the code in the holopad and turn on the switch."

Zeref was putting a lot of trust in the other man, but he thought he was capable enough of pulling it off. Zeref would go to the left, where the notes and info was.

(OOC info: When you go to the right, there'll be another sharp turn to the left, and there will be a door there, already open, that you'll go in. In there, is the executive office, or the director's office. The holopad is behind his desk and the office is big. You can say you've encountered some rakghouls there to make it a bit more interesting.)
