She Looked At Me With Them Big Brown Eyes (Underground Rebellion vs Black Rose)

Janev took out his golden blaster and instantly shot and killed three enemy soldiers once he reached the complex's roof. It seemed as if the enemies weren't even trying, Janev's teammates had manslaughtered several others. Perhaps they weren't that skilled or trained, he thought. "Hey, [member="Ghorua the Shark"], what's the plan, are we going for the high ranking military scumbags, or should we focus on racking up as many kills as possible?" Janev asked. He was ready for anything, as he'd had his sword ready in his scabbard, as well as his shield attached to his back. "[member="The Banshee"], you got any ideas?"

Cas huffed, keeping her head low as Banshee tossed a grenade to the roofdeck access. The anti-infantry weapon cause the door to be peppered with fragments but otherwise it was intact. Cas looked at all the dead bodies and again, her breathing rapidly escalated. It was only when Janev started talking she focused. Right. Get inside, find the control room, assume control. Was she the only one listening about the job? Figures.

While the boys were busy shooting up the roof and anyone dumb enough to come up here, Cas latched herself to the parapet with her grapple hook and lowered herself down over the edge. She started at a reflective window with strong polarized film. She was very grateful for her helmet's flare filter, as the glare would've otherwise blinded her. She shot at the window while looking away, only to confirm the glass being blaster proof. So, using the first demo-charge in her bag (4 left) she sticks it to the window and blows the whole section clear with a loud explosion.

Inside the hallway were a few soldiers on the ground, dead or dying. They were on their way up, glass fragments having sliced them apart, painting the walls red. Cas shuddered at the sight. "Any of you boys want to come with me?" She asked, trying to keep these muscle heads on track.

Objective: Don't shoot...

The kid that was speaking. It took a second to realize he needed to listen. Needed to focus on his words and what he was saying. Not that he had spent so long amongst the Monks he had forgotten speech, no. Just his thoughts in general were clumsy and hard to direct. But the idea was a sound one. The pistol dropped with mechanical ease to his holster slung low on his thigh, and he looked at Bryce with curiosity for a moment. Half of him had expected to wake up o one of the Monks' own ships. Though he didn't really know why. Regardless, he had heard what Jorus had said. If there was anything still making sense to his addled mind, it was that Jorus was pretty damn wise, and the type of person that when he spoke or committed, he took notice.

So here he was, suiting up, readying for war. Something in the Generals' tone had him ready. The longer he thought on it, the clearer his mind became. He couldn't say he remembered all of who he was, but for the moment, he remembered what he was. A hand rose from his side and ran along the lightsaber hilt on the table, head cocked to the side as if straining to hear a sound. Eventually the revere broke, and he grabbed the weapon and clipped it to his side, nodding in satisfaction. That was something he knew, could remember about himself. Knew he used to be considered uncanny with it, and had taught others its' ways.

"Unnn.. Sorry about the mess... Having some trouble keeping thoughts straight... Won't shoot... Not sure why I did first....Did I hear Jorus calling himself general, and broadcasting a minute ago??"

"Yes General Jorus is leading this operation to liberate Demonsgate from the Black Rose. You are on board the Shinning Star, my medical cutter, we are here to help in the effort and supply humanitarian aide. How are you feeling, you have been out for some time..." BB said offering a helping had to the stranger.

Ghorua had landed, pulled the parachute from his body, and unleashed hell. He was a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, causing mass chaos wherever he was on the battlefield. He heard Janev pop the question, and laughed into the comms as he heard Cas.

"Whoever wants to go ahead with Ms. Bossy, can! I'll stay here, keep our exit open! I'm not that much use in there!" As he said this, three men, fed up with this upstart whale, charged for him. The chaingun in his hands was starting to feel hot, so he attached it to his back, and extended his hand. A gout of fire from his flame projector set them all ablaze. Ghorua looked away as they all burned to death. He found death by fire sloppy, crude, and unnecessarily cruel. But it was either his death or theirs, and Ghorua much preferred them dead.

The massive monstrosity that was Ghorua whipped out his dual pistols, and let out a roar that shook the bones of all near him. He wanted to be the center of attention. Perhaps the enemy wouldn't notice a few stray mercs enter the building until it was too late. Ghorua was confident he and a large squad of paladins could hold down the roof, and guarantee an escape if needed.

Objective: Respond to emergency

BB didn't have time to have much of a in depth conversation with Glavo as he was called to the bridge by T7-S80. She and Rai had been monitoring the emergency channels and multiple reports of disturbances and public unrest were coming in from the settlements around a laboratory complex. Displaying the message on the bridge communication screen it soon became clear a major crisis was in progress.

"Ria, radio General Merrill and advise him the "Shining Starr" is breaking orbit to respond to the reports below." BB said.

As the Starr raced into the atmosphere smoke could be seen coming from outlying settlements. Life scanner readings were coming back confused, which BB hoped was due to the planets unique atmosphere and not something more ominous. As they approached one of the larger settlements the full gravity of the situation became horrifying clear.

"Ria, tell the general we are gonna need help on this one.... a lot of help..." BB said in shock at the scene before him.

Gabriel leaned back in his seat - the leather crunched against the sudden extra pressure his weight gave to it.

“Careful!”
“Sorry, sorry!”
“Just… go up to the cargo bay and see if everything’s alright, okay kid?”
“Aye-aye, Captain Poo Sir!”
“Yeah, yeah. Just get outta here.”

The Underground was a new circle to run in. They were filled with the outlaws, smugglers and general free-spirited individuals of the Galaxy… really nice people all things considered. Gabey was a new recruit, him and a gal called Verin were both assigned to the freighter of one illustrious pilot called Darn Poo.

Poo, a Sullustan, was one of the legends of the Underground. One of the best darn pilots it and the Alliance had.

A smuggler-turned-hero who had decided that profit margins were fine and dandy, but when you were oppressed and living under the thumb of the Man… well, all that cash just starts to stink.

Gabe put on his headphones and cruised gently through the depths of the ship. Music filled his ears and he went away.

Tum Tum tum. Tum tum tum. Tum tu-

Well, hello there.

Suddenly the music didn’t seem as important to Gabriel who had just entered the cargo bay and first noticed Verin already being there.

Headphones were pulled down to his neck again.

“Hey, there.” Keep it smooth, Gabey. You are money. You know it, she knows it, even Darn Poo knows it.

“How you doing?”

Yeah, nice. Just play it casual.

Objective: Emergency Response!

Ria had been up on the bridge monitoring all channels, pulling up ones of unrest and disturbances she threw them up for BB to see upon his return. She gave a look to the droid and punched in the relay to General Merrill. "General Merrill, this is the Shining Star, we're breaking from the blockade and heading dirt side to respond to the disturbances below." The cutter dove down from the line of ships it was part of and began to descend into the atmosphere. Smoke was thick, blinding almost as they broke through the clouds an increasingly disturbing image was starting to appear.

Her mouth dropped as they looked on in horror, trying to find a proper place to put the cutter down. "Right." Ria punched it up again, opening a channel to General Merrill. "General, it's the Shining Star - we're, we're gonna need some help down here... A lot of it, actually." Her voice tense as she cut the line and looked toward BB. "Tell me your Wookiee friend is around here somewhere."

The scene that unfolded before them was one she hadn't seen in years, not since Sotta organized a riot just so he could swipe goods from a rival hutt. Rising from her seat she clutched at her gear. Checking herself over one more time, "alright BB, let me fetch a few medical supplies from the med bay."

She had one or two slots opened on her bandoleer enough for a quick stim or two. Leaving the bridge, Ria headed for the med bay - where she came across an unsightly seen. "Whoa, what in the blue abyss, are you alright?" She asks the man, wait, that's the Jedi - isn't it? She tried to side step around him and the mess. "We're heading into a hot landing zone, you sure you're okay?" The blonde girl asks the gentlemen who looked to be about her age if not a little bit older.

As he heard Janev's question, Axel almost did a mid-battle facepalm. Did anyone besides him listen to the mission brief? He saw that the female bounty hunter had, as she the took the smarter route through the window. He would yell over the hailstorm of bullets, "Get to the control room and hijack the defense matrix. Just follow me!"​

​

With that, the mercenary would sprint for the edge of the roof. It seemed the Herglic was drawing most of the enemy's fire. He nodded in approval as he said he'd stay back and clear out the enemy for their escape. Most of the Paladins would stay with him, fighting outnumbered against the Black Rose. However, they were superiorly trained and equipped, and the Banshee knew they'd hold up with adequate cover on their side.​

​

He'd let off a few potshots as he made for the ledge, dropping two of the enemy. He would then grab a hold of Kaiga's grappling hook which was still attached to the ledge, using it to swing himself downwards and through the hole in the wall. He rolled into the hallway, quickly scanning for enemies. However, he detected none in his immediate vicinity and lowered the weapon. He would instead draw his pistol and dagger, designed more for close quarters such as these. He would slowly advance down the corridor, not waiting to see who was following.​

A stifle curse bounced its way around the cargo hold, a choice expletive that would have made even the most hardened of spacers cringe and blush. The second in as many minutes as Runi found herself rocked and jostled as Darn Poo threw them through yet another set of astrobatics. She wasn’t passenger material at the best of times. But that force-bitten Sullustan and his questionable piloting credentials were going to be death of her at this rate, she just knew it. That and his apparent lack of forethought to secure the crates they were meant to be delivering. Getting crushed beneath a mountain of supplies was hardly the end she’d imagined when she’d left Kol Atorn all those years ago.

“POO!” The Kiffar yelled as she dodged yet another avalanche of sliding durasteel. The mag-clamps in her hands seemed pretty puny in comparison to the mammoth task before her. Dodge a few blockades, drop a few supplies... Kark, this should've been a blue milk run; a palette cleanser for all the heavy stuff she'd been pulling off with the Crusaders and the newly minted Mandalorian Empire. A way of feeling, if only temporarily, like the warden she once could've been. But things just couldn't run smooth, could they? “I swear by all that is Manda, if you flip this gorram vessel one more time…”

The rest of the threat was lost in an incomprehensible grumble as the vessel abruptly evened out. Poo was taking her at her word or they were entering a clear stretch of space. Right now she honestly didn’t care which. Not waiting for the vessel to start writhing again, she set about securing the crates to the decking with the clamps, concentrating on the larger, heavier and more than likely deadlier containers. She figured she could probably square away the worst of them before Poo got it in his head to play Kessel dodgems all over again. Provided, she amended as a voice cut across from the entrance, she didn’t have any further interruptions.

“How am I doin’?” Runi deadpanned, sparing an irritable glance over her shoulder. “How the kark do I look like I’m doin’? Jus’ pashie keen. Thanks for asking. How about you?”

Aruetii.

“Jus' grab some of those clamps over there an' make yourself useful.”

The scanners picked up life forms, but so too did Julius. It was a sudden spike. Something was wrong on the planet. Horribly so. Whatever it was, it stank of corruption and rot. Most would say they felt the presence of the Dark Side, but he looked at things differently. The lightsaber spun in his fingers adroitly, like a baton, and clipped to his belt as he nodded to the young lady in front of him. Whatever was wrong on the planet, it would take a fight to right. Briefly, he closed his eyes as if concentrating, and they snapped open, cool and calm. His breathing was steady, and had a heart monitor been on him, it would have been completely normal. But something in his stance, the way his body was placed, reeked of sudden danger and violence, like a large cat will do when stalking prey.

"I am fine little lady... This is what I was born for.. Glavo Pahro, that's what the Monks call me... Had another name... Point me to a hatch where I can see the LZ... I'll clear it."

With that, he strode off. A battered emerald green cloak draped from his shoulders. Already, his reaction times seemed heightened, his muscles almost tremoring, and his presence in the Force seemed to swell almost. Particularly those versed in relativistic anomaly would like sense him now, as his consciousness expanded as the Aing-Tii had taught him. He did it almost without thinking, really. So well suited was he to the task. And he could sense the mild unease about the girl. Empathy. That was another one of his skills, now that he thought. Always had been good at reading and anticipating others. So now he spoke to her for a moment.

"No fretting either... We'll be safe if Jorus is around... I don't know why, but I know we can trust him."

With that, the comms on his ear pinged, accessing the ship comm for a moment, and then the general broadcast.

"Pahro to Captain... Drop to 500 feet or so, maintain altitude, conduct scans and send data out. I will clear an LZ... Pahro to the General Merrill... Inbound to surface LZ... Unknown disturbance in the Force and odd readings on life signs I'd bet from the feel of it. We could use some overwatch on my tag... Ground in 90..."

With that, the voice Jorus may or may not recognize as the one named Julius Sedaire. But that man, a thick but well groomed beard now covering his face, and a heavy darkness in his once bright eyes. Fingers drubbed along the hilt as he made his way to where he thought the exit would be, and came upon it fairly easily. The hatch was open as they dropped, and the ground was rushing up. He waited, just a moment. Concentration was writ on his face, and rather suddenly there was a ripple, a sense of twisting or folding. Then he was no longer there.

He was on the ground. In what appeared to be a bowel of the Hells themselves.

"WHAT THE KARK!" BB shouted watching Glavo, I don't know teleport to the LZ some how? BB was impressed, confused, stunned all that the same time. While this wasn't new to BB what was was trying to somehow help this guy. He was usually the head long into danger guy but even this was a bit much for him. Snapping himself back into reality he lowered the Starr further and began to offer what little cover fire he could with his Mace Kinetic Energy Weapon turrets.

"Sady you have the bridge," she shouted as he went to his quarters to grab his kit. Leaving all but one of his BTI-DSG "The Hibernator" behind and took up his R-7 Blaster rifle and went below deck. Lethal weapons were not something BB used often, but in this case whatever it was that was down there he would be making an exception for.

Nodding to Ria in the lower cargo bay he strapped himself to some restraining ties and leaned out the hatch till he was practically hanging from it. Rifle in head he added his above average marksmen skills to the Starr Mace turrets, doing whatever he could to help the crazy man below.

Merrill,


I hope this communication finds you well. Word has spread in this sector of the 'verse that an uprising is occurring in Black Rose controlled space. Or what was once Black Rose controlled space, forgive my lack of knowledge on the finer points of their governance. Being 'neighbors' with the Black Rose has made us citizens on Ceto both privy to rumors floating in that sector, as well as making us fear their presence on a door step. Catgirls on Ceto? Perhaps our vast expanses of oceans kept them at bay.


While I cannot be with you in the fight, please accept my gift of two Tikulini-Class transports loaded down with humanitarian supplies. Refugees who have made it to our door have told us the plight of much of the territory, rumor had it one of the planets were all but bankrupt. Horrible if true. If needed don't be hesitant to request more in the way of aid, as I am merely guessing at the amount of foodstuffs and hygiene products needed. In the back of my mind I fear it is only a drop in the bucket.


Best of luck,

J.Dashiell

Gulp.

Well, clearly Gabriel miscalculated the entire situation. He took a wide look around the cargo bay, his shades shuffling down his nose before leaning heavily at the tip of it all for extra clarity.

Well.

“Yes, ma’am!” What Gabriel was currently experiencing was survival of the fittest at its finest.

Any well-developed male sentient worth its evolutionary development stage knew how to best tackle a clearly agitated and even angry individual of the female populace. It was one of the more well-known survival traits a sentient male had in its repertoire. A repertoire made famous by traits like: “Act like you are really, really, really deep asleep.” and who could ever forget the fan favorite: “It wasn’t me!”

Compared to those “Yes, ma’am!” was one of the more articulate and specialized sentences in a man’s thesaurus.

The intonation conceded that he was in the wrong and knew it. It underlined the sheer amount of agitation and worry he was currently experiencing, as to appeal to a woman’s slumbering sense of forgiveness, and above it all it gave no room to interpret his actions as anything other than extraordinary helpful. Just so it was clear that he wasn’t going to be argumentative about his role in this particular conflict.

“Right away, ma’am!” Gabey nodded once. This concluded the formal ritual of acceptance, after which he pushed his shades back up his nose and went right to work on… wait, what was he doing again?

Carefully, very, very carefully the young lad grabbed one of the clamps and from the corner of his eyes studied what Verin was doing.

Oh, okay. Yeah… I can do that, fo’sure!

Gabriel went to work. Furiously.

Ria's eyes went wide when she saw this guy literally, shimmer into sheer awesomeness before her eyes. Teleport? Force Teleport? "Holy mother of Twi'leks that was..." She didn't have time to be in awe as they prepared to drop. Tylo don't fail me now, she thought to herself as she gave BB a nod of readiness. Exhaling hard she knew she had to do it. This was no different than going on runs with Tixi on Nar Shaddaa, right? Right. Only you know, this time people will actually try to shoot - well that's not new. She's been shot at before, but she knew Tixi was one helluva sniper, and now she's paired up with a Jedi? A medic? And where in the blue abyss was that Wookiee?! "CAW CAW FISAKRU!"

With that, Ria took the jump down toward the hot landing zone just behind the Jedi. Sort of, she did a tuck and roll because drop landings weren't always Ria's best thing. "I'm cool, I'm cool." She manages to say and then duck, "okay no I'm not, STOP SHOO-" She pulls out her blaster and squeezes off a burst shot, pew, pew, pew. The blonde looks up with a quirked brow, okay that's... new, and also terrifying. Ria tucks and rolls out of the way of whatever blasted creature has suddenly come up - to block the light, no less. Welp. She sets her blaster pistol to a single shot and overpowers it, recoil sends her back into a whatever it was she hit. "Alright what in the blue abyss are we fighting here?!"

She turns to BB who lands just a few feet to her side, or was it the other side? PEW PEW PEW. Ria didn't care, because Ria was getting shot at, and you know? For all her time on Nar Shaddaa? She was particularly skilled at NOT getting shot at. "What's the plan, BB? And can you stay in front of me?" She points to the Jedi guy. "Tell me you got a force shield or something." Is that how the force worked?

And more of, whatever the frag this creature was which in Ria's opinion just looked plain nasty, ugly and also terrifying. Did she mention terrifying? Because it is, when this was over she was going to need a very, very strong drink.

Taking out her other blaster pistol, she squeezed off ion rounds. Which did absolutely diddly to the insectoid? Humanoid? BOTH?

"I've got some med packs and mesh tape, and other... junk." Ria said looking down at her bandoleer. More or less giving off a checklist for herself, reminding herself why exactly she decided jumping out of a perfectly good ship was reasonable.

KARRRASSH, QUARSH, SURWANG! PRRAANG!

Creatures flailed, thrashed and spat at what little cover Ria had, flushing her out. She slid over empty crates and cargo containers squeezing off shots from her actual blaster pistol. She hated that she had to keep switching pistols, and after about the third time both organic and non-organic enemies tried shooting at her. She simply went with the Tylo-method of shooting. "Cowboy up!" She took a brief moment to stand up and squeeze off both blaster pistols. "Okay are we standin' here all day?" She looks to BB and the Jedi Guy, well son of a Hutt they were already running off. "Hey! Wait!" Ria ducks behind some terrible shots, following her party to wherever they were suppose to be going.

A large rather unpleasant sound from more of said creatures.

"SWEET MOTHER OF SPICE I AM WAY TOO SOBER FOR THIS!"

If she felt even an ounce of guilt at lashing out at someone that, for all intents and purposes, was both an innocent bystander and practical stranger, the Kiffar certainly wasn’t about to let it show. At least the guy could follow basic orders. That endeared him to her somewhat. Or at least lessened the urge to space him by his culpable association with the good Captain Poo, the real target of her ire.


“It’s Runi.” She threw out simply as they worked towards anchoring the crates. A mind numbing, yet essentially straight forward task that could largely be summarised by three repetitive noises. Clamp, click, whirr. Hardly difficult or strenuous on the old grey matter, but his passable competency in the task had earned him some measure of civility. Or what passed for civility with the kiffar mechanic. “Not ma’am, lady or whatever else you’ve got loaded up there. Jus’ Runi – or Ru if you feel the need to shorten it to anythin’.”


She reached into the cargo box for another set of clamps, adding the next part almost as an afterthought-slash-threat, her tone inflicted with just enough edge to reinforce the message. “Although if I catch you callin’ me Ru-Ru, or even start thinkin’ about it, you’ll be siftin’ those pretty teeth out of your osik for a week, ‘lek?”

Huh? Gabey looked around for a moment to make sure she was talking to him, instead of someone else who had entered the joint without him realizing it. Wouldn’t have been too strange what with the whole manual labour going on. Sure, it wasn’t exactly complicated work, but after doing it half a dozen times… well, your mind slips away into some kind of automated trance.

Your body works, your mind sleeps.

“Gabriel.” The lad offered in exchange while keeping his eyes on the job. “And I wouldn’t ever dare to call you that,”

Ru-Ru.

The corner of his mouth twitched up just slightly, but that could have meant all manners of things.

“So are you always brimstone, fire and fury incarnated, or do ya got a more relaxed persona under the superheroine mask?”

If there was anything Lethe was good at, it was bouncing back from an earlier setback. Sure the first approach hadn’t been successful - more a disaster, really, but that’s why people fell, no?

To climb back up and try again.

It probably bred character.

Steele tossed back the whiskey shot poured for her as if it was water, then the brunette slipped off the bar stool that she had been sitting on at the counter and moved over to a table that looked out over the area of the main city she was in. It gave the petite smuggler a bird's eye view of the local Uukaablians taking back what was theirs from the previous occupiers. From the looks of it, the battle for the planet wouldn't take long.

Uukaablis had an unique architecture in that the cities were actually a network of skyways raised above the ground over a hundred meters by massive stone columns. It was kinda pretty with the forested mountains surrounding them. The fiery Corellisi took a hearty sip from the mug of ale she'd brought over with her, then she pulled out a datapad to get a sitrep on the ongoing mission.

As the resistance cells got control of the major areas of the planet, they would post it. So far the Uukaablis MedCorp complex and Uukaablis Trans-Systems were secure. Things were looking up! Now if the headache from the parasite-repelling vaccine she'd received would just go away, things would indeed be peachy.

"NO..WAIT.. RAI" BB shouted as she leaped out of the Starr.

"She's girl gonna get killed," be muttered to himself while releasing the binding straps and dropping to the ground below.

"Sady, take her back up and circle the area, laying cover fire whre you can." he shouted into his wrist comm.

BB had been studying everything he could on medicine, tactics and star ship command and it was seeming to help. Mind back on the task at hand he put his rifle to full auto covering Rai where he could and not worrying about the bearded telo-dude. If he could wreck his ship and warp down here, dude could defend his own back side. BB was more worried about Rai, not because she was a girl or anything but more because he knew like him this poodoo was new to her.

Replacing the power pack he continued to lace the surrounding baddies with blaster rounds. Krakers were super tough, most always taking multiple rounds to take them down. However with one lucky shout BB noticed a weakness. Their eyes, one shot in their read beady eyes was enough to drop them.

"Aim for their eyes, the reds of their Kraking eyes." BB shouted to Rai as he continued to try to work toward her.

“Well this was the shortest lived siege of all time.” Kira said trying not to sound too disappointed as the Falcon continued its slow orbit around the planet. Jorus’ decision to allow the complete evacuation of the miners and the apparent war criminal seemingly creating an absolute pause to the current proceedings. From her left Charlwook gave a shaggy shrug and a series of wookiee mumbles.

“I dunno I suppose we just turn around and head back to Rebellion One, get some grub.” Kira put her hand on the throttle and slow allowed the ship to begin turning outwards from the darkened mass of the planet beneath them, however as she went to allow power fully into the throttle something stayed her hand.

A feeling, like a wave of anxiety that flowed through her gut and made her neck turn towards the orb of Demonsgate once more.

She shook her head, passing it off as nothing paying little attention to the Wookiee who had already started to plot the navigational computer next to her. Un-noticed however was the twitch that was given by Newka in the seat behind the young Corellian, his eyes focusing on the back of Kira’s head.

“No…Something is wrong.” Kira seemed to fight with her own mind for a moment before with simple agility the Falcon was pulled again into a spin that faced her directly towards the planet and the throttle hit enough to send the YT skyrocketing towards the planet.
