The Butchers Bill

[Thom Naudir]

The 'Lost Legion' was a small but growing pirate gang in the Outer Rim region of the galaxy, and had begun to make a name for themselves in raiding various farming and mining outpost and colonies. The various colonies and outposts had no overreaching authority of governing body to turn to for aid, and the pirates had killed dozens of farmers and miners across the various worlds and moons. In desperation, the various groups combined what little resources they had and put out a bounty on the Lost Legion in their entirety. Despite the low amount of credits actually offered for the job, the contract was accepted.

Thom stood with his hands folded across his chest, gazing at the holo-image of the space station the small transport was flying towards. Following one of the pirates most recent attacks, a farmer had been able to get a tracking device into some of the crops that were taken. The farmer had given the tracking code to Thom, and he had plugged it in to the small shuttle he had borrowed. The station the pirates were using was an old decommissioned trade station they had secured, and now used as the center of their stolen merchandising empire. Judging by the sensor readings, several other transports and shuttles were either in the process of docking or leaving the station.

They would fit right in.

"Best estimates put the pirate numbers somewhere around one hundred strong. Large mixture of species, with the predominant ones appearing to be human and rodian. The exact positioning of their forces and defenses they might have on the station are unknown, but I doubt they will be very heavy. These little pirates don't have the influence or power needed yet to turn that place into a fortress. If all goes well today, they never will either." Thom spoke quietly, his voice filtered through his helmets voice synthesizer and carrying across the mostly empty cargo bay. The other members of the operation, spread out where they wished in the cargo bay would have little issue hearing him as he typed in a few more commands, the holo-image focusing further on the primary landing bay.

"My initial thought is to land in the main hangar bay here, and neutralize any opposition that we find before locking it down. If we can prevent the pirates from fleeing, they will be forced to fight us and we get get the job done that much faster. The big boss of this group is most likely going to be on the command bridge of the station, three levels up from the hangar bay. There are three entrances to the command bridge, so I figure just before we get there we divide up and flank it on all sides. We blow the doors, kill everyone inside, and set the station to self destruct. Saves us the time it would take to hunt down every last one of the pirates wherever they decide to hide in that piece of kark. Your thoughts?"

Pirates, stardust never cared much for then nor cared to get in their business, if they left her stuff alone she was ok with them passing by hell she made friends with a few herself as they had their uses. Setting against the wall of the shuttle she looked to the holoprojector and then towards her ally for this mission, Thom naudir, first time ever even meeting this man but he was the mission lead here on this little bounty

Looking up to him, she stood and rolled her shoulders setting her helmet down

so, is everyone within the station our target? I just want to know for when we land and exit....if solve got a plan for that

Moving forward she pointed to the hangar, quite a small area it seemed

if you've read up on me you know my title, if not well your gonna find out the best way hehe, I say I'll head where they'll likely hole up for ambushes...my skills are superb at smoking the enemy out

 

[Thror Cal Vorn]

The Lost Legion a small band of pirate scum. Thror thought as he listened to Thoms brief. They were on a small transport heading for the pirate base.

"The plan sounds good, but even though they aren't that influential they are bound to have surprises waiting for such eventualities they would be stupid not to."

Looking at the holo of the base he studies the corridors there were none that were very long his sniper would do no good here.

"This is going to be a lot of close in fighting but you shouldn't have a problem with those jeti'kad on you belt." He said looking at Stardust "and that armor too." A small smile creeping on his face, he had done his reasearch on his companions and they checked out. This would be fun

Thom nodded his head at his companions words, stepping back and folding his arms across his chest. He knew about [member="Stardust Solus Skirae"], though not many facts. The mission had been a short notice operation, and Thom had spent most of his time between receiving the contract and actually getting here researching what he could about the Lost Legion and their capabilities. He was confident they would be able to handle what was coming, though his companions concerns were valid. Turning, Thom walked over to the side of the cargo bay where his weaponry and equipment were laying, and began to prepare himself for the operation.

"Anyone that does not get out of the way should be considered a threat, and anyone that is on the station is guilty by associations with the pirates activities. I won't lost any sleep knowing a few dozen smugglers who are profiting off the suffering of the innocent getting vaporized." He spoke casually as he slid the two blaster pistols he used into the holsters at his hips, before beginning to place several knives of various sizes into sheaths built into his armor. As he slid the last one in to place, he turned to address the question [member="Thror Cal Vorn"] said as he reached down to do the final checks on his long range blaster rifle.

"Certainly, there will be surprises. I would be incredibly disappointing if there weren't. But I trust that we will be able to handle them, especially given the specialization of skills we have in this room." The last few words Thom addressed to Skirae as he adjusted the flame unit he had on his wrist, locking eyes with her as he locked the weapon in place.

heh, guns free, been awhile since I've had something like that

She commented and moved over to her gear, pulling some thermals out and checked them before locking them onto her belt and stood adjusted her belt that held two westars, two sabers, and a Sith sword. Rolling her neck she popped it and sighed satisfied at the sound as she rolled her shoulders and stood ready to rumble. Looking over to thom she glanced at the flame unit then locked eyes with him as that once calm steeled face soon wore a massive grin, eyes holding back flames as she laughed and nodded her head

this dragon hasnt had a good hunt in awhile thom...but I'll ensure that my titles name will be shown...any who survive will know of the emerald dragon!

She said proudly slamming a hand on her chest hand curled in a fist

Letting his companions get their gear set he made hi was to the cockpit. He sat down at the controls and looked to see what their eta was, only five standard minutes. "Five minute warning." he said down the access hall, it veing short enough that he didnt need the intercom.

He pulled the ship into the designated landing bay and took a good look at the enemy number in the hanger there weren't too many, maybe a dozen. he walked back to where his companions were. "There are about a dozen in the hanger shouldnt be a problem to take them own and lock everything up." He said as he attached his bes'kad to his belt and put on his helmet.

Thom nodded his head as [member="Thror Cal Vorn"] took the controls and began the final approach to the station. Thom was many things, but a pilot was certainly not one of them. Whenever he had to get somewhere, he tried his best to ensure that he had a ride to get to the location. Only in worst case scenarios did Thom actually fly around himself. One too many unfortunate...incidents had seen to this caution. He was grateful their comrade would be taking care of things, it allowed him to focus more on the fighting to come. As he stepped up to the landing ramp, he drew his two pistols from their holsters, doing final checks on the both of them before turning to look at [member="Stardust Solus Skirae"] while gesturing towards the door with one of the blasters.

"Would you like to go first, or shall I lead the 'greeting party'?" Thom allowed a hint of humor to enter his voice as he spoke. He was ready to sprint out of the door blasters shooting, but it would be good to see what his comrades wished to do first.

Stardust pulled her pistols out, checking them real quick then holstered them on her belt, looking to the front she simply nodding as she grabbed her helmet and secured it on her head the armor extending out to cover her lekku in what looked like scales. Glancing over to thom she chuckled and started towards the door hand on the button

I'll go first, after all most people react better to a twilek

She made a puff of flames, looking to the door she hit the button and let the ramp slowly descend, light hit red gold and black armor as she looked about spotting a few as she grinned behind her helmet. Her posture changed to a aggressive stance, air around her heated up making the air wave a bit, soon as the door open following she roared out and sent a wave of fire at those approaching to check the ship. Flames kept and covered them sending them running as she hopped out and activated her sabers black and white springing forth as she caught a few shots and sent flames to the attackers

Face the judgement of the emerald dragon! Ye who be guilty of attacking the weak!

Behind she helmet she had a massive grin, this she lived!

 

[Thror Cal Vorn]

Thror watched [member="Stardust Solus Skirae"], a green flame appeared and the air around here began to wave. When the door opened he saw a wave a fire radiate out from her and engulf the pirates approaching the shuttle. Thror ran out behind he with his beskad in one hand and his blaster in the other. He fired at a group and charged them. Blasters were firing all around the hanger.

When he got to the group he swung his beskad at the nearest pirate. The blade didn't penetrate the armor but he heard the crack of broke bones and the heave weapon impacted the pirates collar bone. He turned put a blaster bolt into the next ones face. The final one pulled out a vibrosword and engaged Thror. The next few second were a flurry of blows and counter blow, neither one getting a solid hit on the other. Finally he saw his opening and thrust his weapon at the chest of the pirate, his enemy had over extended a trike. The blade penetrated in between the armor plates and the pirate went down. Thror turned around and began to fire his blaster and and pirate he could see.

 

[Thom Naudir]

Thom stood silently on the lowered landing ramp of their freighter, watching as his two companions wreaked havoc among the pirates ranks. Many were already dead, or wounded to the point where they did not matter anymore. The initial charge seemed to have disrupted whatever defense the pirates planned to mount in their hangar, with those that could beginning to evacuate through the few corridors leading deeper into the space station. Heading towards one of the corridors, Thom jerked his shoulder to the side as a blaster bolt shot past him. He had seen the pirate hiding behind the small cluster of crates, armed with a tiny holdout blaster pistol. Without missing a step Thom drew the blaster at his side and fired a single shot into the pirates chest, sending him flying backwards.

Thom threw himself into the fight after that, the two Naast blasters in his hands tearing through the few pirates he came across. At this point it was more of a clean up operation than a real fight. Reloading the blasters, Thom slowly removed his foot from the neck of the rodian squirming on the floor beneath him before slamming it back down, the resounding crack of his neck breaking from the force of the blow linking up with the happy hum the blaster emitted as the new power pack slid in to the chamber.

"I think we have the situation under control here, don't you think? Lets see what they might have waiting for us just beyond these little doors here..." Thom sent the question to both him comrades over the comm link they shared, a smile on his face as he leveled the blaster on the door control panel and fired, the green round tearing through it and sending sparks everywhere.

Fire dissipated, the sound of a sword being drawn echoed as she gripped the blade in one hand drawing the westar with her other and grinned. A human tried running and swinging a pipe for her head screaming, however the pipe was sliced in half and her blaster raised for his head letting a red bolt fly and smack into his face sending him to the ground

Pirates charged her, blasters firing as those with knifes and swords charged, grinning she put her westar up and grew a saber letting the blade appear with a snap hiss. Pirates fired in vain as she sent back their blaster fire hitting different ones in the group befor she closed in and spun catching three in the stomach as they fell

just mopped up my mess here, heading to you now wait to open I want to see as well! Hahah!

She walked over as he shot, putting her blades up and took out before her westars ready for the fight
