For a brief moment, Iella kept her eyes on the holodisplay and listened. She head only turning when Flint spoke. "This campaign is going to be interesting it seems", she said in a whispered voice, more a comment aimed at the conversation between the woman on the display and Syn. However, Iella could not help but smile, as she received a sense of the situation from the bond link between her and Syn.

She smile widened as she noticed Elayne, keeping to herself. "Flint, come with me, I will introduce you to a friend", she said guiding him over to Elayne. Elayne seemed to be keeping distance from the meeting, and like them she would need to be brought up to speed on the situation. Soon enough the briefing would come, and soon enough they all will be placed with orders and duty.

Softly, Iella spoke to keep her voice down, but a smile crossed her face. "Elayne, good to see you", she turned to Flint, "Flint this is Elayne Hawk, a friend of mine".

Aedan Miles was simply standing beside Syn before he reached down to his comlink and pressing a button opening a channel to every ship that held one of the leaders and he grinned lightly. "Hello everyone this is Captain Aedan Miles the person with the plan. I would like to request that you all come aboard the Rememberance-class for a briefing where I will tell you what the plan is and where we are going. I am sure that Master Syn will have soldiers standing by to escort you to the briefing room and like I said I look forward to you joining us.

"Yep. It seems so..." said Flint with a nod to Iella, while listening to the conversation going on. He was then guided to meet a friend by the blonde apprentice. After the introduction, Flint nodded then smiled as well, extending a hand for a handshake. "Nice to meet you." he said in a friendly tone.

 

[Feena]

....And Feena was still quite sick, although the vomiting had stopped. Oh, how embarrassing! The Galaxies greatest healer... with a case of morning sickness. And it really wasn't even morning. Not here anyway.
Feena swayed where she sat, reluctant to stand and leave the 'comfort' of the familiar ship. Sure, morning sickness would pass soon, but once she was another ship, once they were moving, motion sickness would take effect. She really didn't think she had anything more in her stomach to give up!

With a groan, Feena left her ship, holding tight to her medkit. She push a stray lock of hair back into her neat braid, straightened her spine and walked to the appointed meeting place.

[alright he is going to explain the plan and assume your all here or listening just to move it along, post reactions and joining whatnot but lets have fun]

The jedi master breathed deeply as he marched the way to the command room and the ones who had come to see or were listening he made sure all in the fleet. Would have a private channel. The operators on the bridge would be working on ensuring it. "Thank you for coming, some of you I know and trust, others I haven't met but if you are here it means someone I trust has their own trust in you. The reason for all the cloak and dagger escapades was because we don't want anyone untoward getting this information. Thanks to Captain Miles we have a location to where the star destroyers designated the Black Hex class were made. These were one of the primary advantages of the Harvesters allowing them to infect the galaxy so quickly."

He gave it a moment directing one of the techs to show a galaxy map and sitting above the main was a satellite galaxy, a companion that flashed and zoomed in. "The Rishi Maze a section of space that few have actually went to in the past several centuries. Since most of you are too young to remember. Before the datawipe there was a path way to the companion and several planets there. When it was required we will be using the ancient Zareca string a series of planets in the space between the two galaxies and once used as resupply points. Whatever we find or can use will use to find out information. I can make no promises of what is at the end of this, if we will find out anything at all beyond finding a shipyard. We could encounter the rearguard that was supposed to come and attack. We could find the second war of ships ready to attack when we least expect it."

"Or we may find nothing more then scrap and some data. I do not know and can not promise such a thing but I can promise that what is found will be shared. I am not for hiding things from allies or friends and if all those are false and we encounter another phobis device. We have several who have encountered them before. Commander Jorin will bein charge of the ground forces while Captain Miles works with his corsairs to provide tactical support. May you all find comradely in this and May the force be with us." Syn turned his head and let out a breath while he spoke to Iella and the other padawan. "You two better be ready and practice training. What is coming might teast all of us."

 

[Rayn H'voc]

The message came through Sonja's commlink and she moved to the location of the meeting post haste. She arrived aboard Rememberance-class ship and, with the aid of a couple of soldiers, was able to locate the command room. She scanned the room, saw familiar faces, and unfamiliar ones. She took up a position against the all and readied for the debriefing.
Once it was over, Sonja was confused about the objective. Moreso how the hell did someone find the location of a Dark Harvester shipyard? Then Sonja remembered that she is getting a new weapon when she gets home and she grinned as she went back to her ship.

 

[Noah Corek]

@Flint Dexen @Cody Jorin, @Moira Skaldi, @HK-36, @Aedan Miles, @Iella E`ron @Domino @Vorhi Alestrani, @Syn, @Feena Mason, @Xhal Taleed, @Elayne Hawk
Noah had been sitting in on the meeting after he had boarded the Rememberance. He didn't really care about data,he cared about weapons,and if he found any,they would be his and his alone. He saw the Fed sniper that had been at Tatooine and grimaced as she walked away. "HK,I'll go down with Jorin,you in?" Noah asked over the comlink,while he sat aboard one of the Solomon's shuttles waiting for the operation to kick off.

Aedan Miles watched everyone before he froze seeing Noah Corek here he walked over and pulled the man aside. “Noah we are full up on members I asked Syn to invite people here so I could pick and choose who would be on the team and we have 3-4 people leading troops on the ground. Thank you for coming out but I don’t want to take a lot of people with me. I am sorry but we cannot use you. Now I have to get back to the briefing and then get this expedition under way.” With that said he turned and walked back to the front of the room and nodded to Syn as he took over. “I know that some of you don’t like working together but hopefully we will all make it through. Commander Jorin I am counting on you to lead the ground troops. I know that my own forces number 30 squads of cloned Cragmoloid troopers who I have informed will be taking their orders from you. I look forward to working with you. If we find any tech that we want to investigate Xhal that’s when you’re on base. He will need an escort Cody I leave it up to you. Sonja you and the 117th Harbinger will be scout and support roles. Cody’s RFSU and my Cragmoloids will form the front lines fighters will give support if its needed and I will fly lead on them. Syn you and the other Jedi will choose where you are as well the rest of you. Now once we are ready to go message in and slip into formation with the rest of the Expedition fleet.”

 

[Xhal Taleed]

Xhal had since been spirited off the ship and into some kind of meeting room. Things were happening quickly again. Alright, that was fine. Better for things to move fast than at a maddeningly slow pace. He sat in the corner of the table, farthest from the speaker. As always, he was trying to keep his head down. The first order of business was the dismissal of some fellow named Noah. That guy was probably going to be disappointed, but that was hardly Xhal's problem. The Duros listened carefully to what Miles had to say. Xhal was going to be looking at any technology they happened across. Xhal found that to be a mildly interesting objective. Apparently he was going to be escorted by a man named Cody. Xhal found himself hoping that this "Cody" wasn't a meathead or an overly-talkative sort.

Then there was something about Clonetroopers. Cragmoloids? That was strange. Cloning soldiers was an unethical practice as far as Xhal was concerned, not to mention a logistical nightmare. He could only hope they were phased out as the droid army expanded.

 

[Darth Vulcanus]

Space itself seemed to shake as Nocturno fell out of Hyperspace with his personal ship, the Geonosain Dreadnaught Battlecruiser. The massive ship was originally meant for the late Zev Stargo, but he died before he could even see its completion. Sad, perhaps, but Nocturno was not going to complain about having such a magnificent piece of ship at his disposal. The behemoth of a battle-cruiser was two-thousand meters in length and was lined with fast arrays of weaponry on each side and had an Acceleration Cannon on the front, basically an upgraded version of the standard railgun technology. On top of that it could hold 100 starfighters and compliment ground vehicles and thousands of combat ready personnel.

Spoiler

​

Nocturno's ship was almost a fleet in of itself. Still, that was not enough for the Droid Commander and so he brought with him 3 Banshee-class carriers. Altogether the fleet could hold hundreds of fighters and was ready to take on almost any enemy.

“I have arrived.” Nocturno said through the communicator on the bridge of the Geonosain ship. The walls were rocky and twisted; it looked more like a insect den than the inside of ship.

As the briefing came to a conclusion, it was clear that they all needed to prepare for the worst case scenario. Never underestimate the situation in this cases and it is best to be over prepared, you can always bring items and weapons back if not needed. Iella was already prepared, simply because of this philosophy of her's, she is dressed in the armour that Syn provided for her on Metalorn, although a little scorched it is still in fine condition, she did not wish to removed the saber burn on the back of it, as a reminder to her, to be more diligent.

Her saber as always clipped to her belt along with her personal weapons, her blaster and whip. And with, of course, the most powerful one of .. The Force. She looked down and double check everything was in place, not that she needed to, but an old habit really. She had heard his words and they where going through her mind now, a looked of concern on her face, for all of them, but mainly for Syn. The only thing she allowed herself to do, was to place her hand on his arm with all her feelings .. "We shall, and ... I shall meet the test with our purpose". She said softly, he would know what she meant. She wished she could have said more.

"Padawan Dexen, shall we go and prepare?", she turned to him now, "We will not go far, so when the call come to go, we will be there".

 

[HK-36]

@[member="Aedan Miles"] @Noah Corek @[member="Moira Skaldi"]
HK slightly tiled his head at Aedan's dismissal of Noah
"Right, how silly of us to think that armored troops and ships would be useful on such a mission."
He looked to @[member="Syn"] then, who organized hiring of Omega troops
"Perhaps next time, Master Syn, conduct a more throughout check when requesting our aid for such a mission."
He then gave a bow to Syn and his group of Jedi
"Master Jedi."
And a faint look towards Aedan
"Pirates."
He turned on his heel to the turbolift

 

[Vorhi Alestrani]

Vorhi simply nodded. "I suppose I shall follow Mr. Taleed as well. After all, it can't hurt to have more protection, and while I am here as a translator, I'm no slouch in a fight, and will likely help him to translate any data we find in conjunction with the weird tech," he mused softly, his usual gentle, seemingly harmless tone. After all, the best fighters we're usually the polite ones, not the braggarts. He blinked at the dismissal of some of the others. Weird. Some people just didn't get along, he guessed. Ah well. Not his problem.

He smirked and headed back to his ship. Heaven or Hell, he'd rock this out. He hoped.

 

[Aedan Miles]

@[member="HK-36"] @[member="Noah Corek"]

Aedan turned to HK his eyes gleaming darkly before he took a deep slow breath and looked back at Noah Corek. "Very well he can stay HK but you two will follow orders on the ground and in space. Cody is in charge ground side while Nocturno and I lead the space forces. I will hope that your men will understand this." He turned to leave before he glanced at HK a different emotion in his eyes as he muttered. "Not all of us have the luxury of being needed elsewhere." With that said he turned and walked towards the Hangar where his Devastator-class fighter sat he would do work on it for now. As he walked into the hangar he looked around for an Engineer waving one over he requested a few standard tools for borrowed and then he made his way over to the fighter where the tools where the tools were moved into place. He then started the painfully slow job of updating the data on its computers and adjusting the engines.

 

[Xhal Taleed]

It was actually Doctor Taleed, but Xhal neglected to correct Vohri. Largely because he feared he would look self-absorbed and pompous if he made such a gauche gesture. He kept quiet, though, silently pleased at least one individual he was familiar with would also be charged with him. He wasn't entirely sure if this Cody fellow was even at the table right now. Whatever the case, Xhal continued to count himself as lucky to simply be along for the ride. Who knew what exciting developments awaited for him in the vast, endless gulf of space? As long as there weren't any Gamorreans. They did not seem to like Xhal and the Duros was starting to return the feelings. Smelly, uncivilized, barbaric...

Xhal was brought back to attention when a droid announced it was leaving. That was strange. Where was this droid's master? Were they aware it was leaving of its own volition? Xhal frowned. Droids shouldn't be left to their own devices like that. Judging from its conduct, this one had gone far past the recommended time for a memory wipe. Xhal wasn't opposed to the odd personality here and there, it did make things interesting. But this one... Well, it did not bode well to give a droid such independence. At least Aedan saw as much, placing the antiquated-looking droid in command of another.

Fortunately or unfortunately depending on who was asked, Mr. Miles made an appeal to the droid to remain and retracted his previous dismissal of a Mr. Corek. Aedan followed up that appeal by... Leaving. Where was he going? Was this briefing concluded? Xhal rubbed his temples, hoping this kind of conduct would be an exception rather than the rule for this mission.

 

[HK-36]

@[member="Aedan Miles"] @[member="Noah Corek"]
He stopped almost entering the turbolift. Wow, he never thought that he will ever find something equally useful to his lightsaber, but the power of dramatic exit-not quite an exit has proved useful many times over now. It even brought Mustafar under the Protectorate control.
He nodded in the doorway, turning back with the flatter of his cascading dark-grey cloak
"Very well, my company shall join at the head of the assault, Noah will provide long-ranged support."
Well, after all, HK's company was specialized in heavy-infantry assault, famed for their heavy-repeaters, and Noah had a sniper-specialized company
"I reserve tactical command of my troopers, however, I will obey to the strategies of Commander Cody."
He looked to Cody, giving him a slight bow
"Commander."

 

[Arage Bao]

Michael had been a bit late to the mission briefing, so he was not entirely sure what he was supposed to do. Then he saw a familiar face, Padawan @[member="Iella E`ron"], they had worked together on numerous occasions and lived to tell the tale.

He maneuvered himself between all the different crew members and quickened his pace, when he had closed the distance between them he said loudly "Lady E`ron, do you have a minute?" When he got her attention he lowered his voice slightly "I am sorry, I was a little late to the meeting. Do you mind if I walk with you, honestly I do not have a clue what I am supposed to do here."

Only then he noticed that the female padawan was accompanied by someone else. Without slowing his pace, he bowed lightly and acknowledged the stranger. "Greetings, my name is Michael Sardun. I am a Padawan, with whom do I have the pleasure of speaking with?" @Flint Dexen

 

[Moira Skaldi]

@[member="Aedan Miles"], @[member="Noah Corek"], @[member="HK-36"]

Moira observed the little pissing contest in silence, not particularly interested either way, though since she was a cynic she suspected it was also about making sure a reduced Omegan presence meant less share of the spoils. Of course, Moira was totally loyal to the Protectorate and its political masters. For the moment, it suited her purposes just fine at this juncture. Cody Jorin as tactical commander - fascinating. Responsible for the deaths of six thousand Protectorate personnel. Impressive bodycount considering all it had taken was the push of a button and the collision of two conflicting manifest destinies between two imperialist powers.

Naturally Iron Company would be at the head of the assault. No surprise its commander and Exarch Kerrigan - the Protectorate had truly turned into a family business - got on so well. However, after having spent ages dealing with uninspiring cogs, namely her minions, in her office and compiling reports and dossiers, Moira appreciated the chance to crack heads and punch hostiles through walls. She could not feel boredom, no one could pass time better than her, but the chance to unleash brutal violence was most welcome. Cold blue eyes travelled across the room, first locking onto Cody then HK. "I shall be there at the front," she spoke to him in her usual cold tone.

 

[Noah Corek]

@[member="HK-36"] @[member="Moira Skaldi"] @[member="Aedan Miles"]
Noah walked to the turbolift with HK and when Aedan said he could stay,he returned to the table. When Noah heard that Jorin would be in charge of the ground forces he grimaced a bit."Like HK said,the Deadeyes will provide long range combat,we should be easily able to pick off any idiots who decide to fight us." He heard that HK was going to respect Jorin's tactical command and was about to scoff,if there wasn't a room full of people. "I'll respect Jorin's command,but let me tell you something. The first instance of Jorin throwing ANY Protectorate soldiers into the meat grinder to save Republic soldiers,I'm pulling my guys out." Noah informed all of them as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Flint gave a quick nod to Iella E'ron accompanied by a friendly smile. Greetings, my name is Michael Sardun. I am a Padawan, with whom do I have the pleasure of speaking with?" Flint turned to see @[member="Michael Sardun"]. He let out a friendly smile again and extended his arm for a handshake. "I'm Flint Dexen. Nice to meet you, Micheal." he said friendly.
