Silence Broken...

[Shaya Khal]

Immediately after her completion of the Shadow Academy program, she was given an assignment fitting of her rank as a Silencer. She hadn't met with anyone personally, things weren't run like that. Her assignment was delivered directly to her through one of the operator who hadn't waited even a day after she completed the training program.

The assignment was to assist Samross the Hutt of Nar Shaddaa. The GenoHaradan were called on to be apart of his security team in seeing that his cargo made it to their destination. Each transport that had been sent out were raided previously. His enforcers were uncut for the job, so he hired an elite team.

She was to go with one other member of the organization but his identity was withheld from the information.

------------------

Not too long after she received her briefing from the Hutt and she boarded the subtram. She stood outside the main corridor waiting for the large vehicle to take off. While they loaded up the cargo and secured it, she walked up and down the dock.

Though Cheeva didn't know it, the other member of the organization was watching her right now. Filius Stellarum perched in an elevated location, watching through his rifle scope the Cathar pacing up and down the dock. She was his compatriot for sure. Be that as it may, Filius hoped she didn't intend to be this open on all her missions. Just because they weren't assassinating someone didn't mean you should draw attention to yourself by being visible.

Filius Stellarum had come across the GenoHaradan by no intention of his own. He had been perfectly fine as he was, taking mercenary contracts from various places, but then he had been approached by a mysterious man who said he had the opportunity of a lifetime. He offered a very substantial payment for Filius to work this one job for the GenoHaradan, and if he liked what he saw, he would be welcome to stay. The man seemed to know a lot about Filius, even his origins. He understood that Filius needed zero training, as he already had more skills in the art of the silent kill than most GenoHaradan Silencers. He knew what Filius could do. So Filius had taken the job. It was good money anyway.

Finally Filius grew tired of observing and slid down a grapple line to the ground. He walked up to the woman and crossed his arms.

"You the one they call Cheeva?" he asked.

She stopped just as he landed, she noted that his arms were folded...she had a habit of picking out different peoples body posture. She slowly looked up,

"Possibly...I'm judging by your entrance, and approach, that your the associate I was briefed on?" she wouldn't reveal her name, whether she knew him or not this wasn't the place nor time for her to reveal such information.

"Well....they're currently loading the cargo. We should be taking off in a few minutes..." Her body shifted, swaying from side to side as the tram unlocked. A red light on her comm began to go off,

"We're set. Trams taking off..."

She nodded, and looked to [member="Filius Stellarum"]

"I'll go secure the cargo." She nodded and walked towards the tram doors that opened after sensing her presence.

Filius followed the woman onto the tram, parting ways with her to make his way to an open car in the center of the tram. Using his grapple line he jumped up to the top of the tram and crouched, keeping a tight grip on the roof. He watched every which way, keeping his eyes peeled for signs of danger.

(Sorry, Finals are done. Have a little more time to spread across characters)

She walked through the tram doors and into an empty car. It was dark, but her eyes developed a faint glow as she walked down the aisle. They had been on route for about 10 to 15 minutes and nothing happened yet. She approached the second door and raised her hand to punch the button.

She opened it to reveal another small bridge that connected her car to another. The one ahead held the actual cargo. She exited, but something felt off, and she stood in the door way with her body swaying from side to side. She peered off to the side for just a moment, and her right ear began to twitch. She noted the silence for the moment, and when she took her first step and figured jumped on board just in front of her.

She squinted her eyes, and reaffirmed her stance. He attacked her with swift and speedy martial arts amped by his acrobatic ability. Bring her right arm up she blocked his kick with her forearm, and swiftly ducked to avoid his flying kick that followed. Near the ground in a crouched position she reached out over her comm attached to her wrist.

"We have company..." she announced their arrival calmly.

Though before anyone else on board knew, the entire tram was being swarmed by elite warriors. Another hopped down from above and fixed himself behind her.

As Cheeva announced their arrival, two warriors were already attacking Filius, jumping up from either side of the train to trap him between them. Filius's eyes darted between them, and as they charged he dropped his rifle to the roof of the train, kicking it aside, and extended two vibro blades from his gauntlets. The enemies charged with wicked-looking vibroswords, one slashing high and the other low. Filius backflipped over the low strike, parrying the high one with his left hand blade, then, faster than the eye could move he thrust his blades to the faces of his opponents. The two men fell, but then three more jumped up onto the car from behind him. Filius turned away, leaping forward to roll over his rifle, picking it up and twisting to fire several precision bursts of laser fire that blasted smoking holes in the heads of his targets.

"You mind telling me what we're carrying that's so darn important?" Filius said, peeking over the edge of the tram to blast several men riding a strange creature. He put a hole through the face of the creature as the last rider leaped off. Filius shot him in midair and reloaded his rifle.

Utilizing her enhanced reflexes and speed, she did a backflip that brought her legs, just at the knee, over and onto the shoulders of the warrior behind her. On contact she tensed her muscles and locked her joints, trapping his head right between her knees. Trapping him she pushed down and slammed his head into the floor of the large vehicle. She landed over him in a crouched position.

With her comm to her mouth, "I haven't any idea. These warriors...aren't your ordinary thugs."

Her vision became focused on their body movements, and they were just as fluid as hers...highly fluid. Though during this brief moment she was distracted and with her guard down she was left unaware.

She slowly came up from the ground, and she was kicked in the back with enough force that it threw her into the railing on the opposite side. The railing jammed into her stomach, causing her to grunt. Looking back, and hearing him running towards her she swiftly turned around, retracted her claws and struck him across his neck.

"Speaking of the cargo..."

She jolted in the direction she was traveling before the tram was attacked.

"If that's what they're after, we should probably be there protecting it," Filius said. He raced along the tram until he reached the car containing the cargo. Eschewing a laser cutter, he sliced through the roof with his forearm vibroblade and hopped down just in time to block a vibroblade with his rifle. He kicked the assailant in the stomach, then shot the stumbling man pointblank. Dropping the cumbersome sniper barrel of his rifle with the push of a button, Filius fired three shots into three attackers before spinning around to smack the butt of his rifle into another. He stabbed the man and shot a fifth one-handed, then shouted into his comm.

"Could use a hand in here!"
