Mercenary Downfall

Supreme Commander Alor

Maarix got up and followed the Sith out. They walked out into a huge hangar bay.

'This must be the Bespin Sunset', he thought to himself.

He sidled over to Acrimonus and followed him. He believed that since Acrimonus was the Commander on board, he would most likely be headed to the bridge, where Marix also believed that he was to be stationed.

"Lord Qel'Vos," Tarna said to the Prophet, "should you discover the location of the lead mercanary - please inform me. My task is to eliminate him...or her."

Darth Duff

"Indeed Qel'Vos, i would also like to know of any developments" The sith said as he hung behind all the other sith

Duff stayed on his own vessel while the other sith advanced...

"I shall stay on-board, call if you need me." Duff shouted at the sith

The military group led by Commander Acrimonus headed towards the blast doors separating the hanger from the bridge. Marix and Taki followed, while the other sith waited for the path to be cleared....

[Ok This is it, the first bit of action, You can either chose the stealthy option and infiltrate the deck using the force and silently killing all the mercs through it, or the more physical option, using lightsabers to blast through the doors and slaughtering all the mercs]

Sovereign Defender Tarna

"How should we do this, gentlemen? I say we rush in and slaughter the scum. They don't know stealth, we should give them a taste of their own medicine." Tarna grinned a very evil grin.

Taki stood at the blast doors, both of his sabers egnited. "Lets get this over with, my promotion is to be held as he return." He said looking to the Executor. "Lets kill them and be done with it." He said as he walked twords the blast doors.

Darth Acrimonus

Acrimonus was uneasy. Duff's ship was advanced, but to have no security in the hanger at all? He motioned for the other Sith to take positions either side each door. Tarna - lightsaber drawn and eager - stood closest by.

"First through once I've cut through the doors?"

Tarna nodded, and ignited the blade. Taki and Marix held theirs at the ready as well, prepared to move in to back up Tarna. Igniting his own blade, Acrimonus plunged his blade into the seal between the blast doors. The metal began to glow white hot, molten slag falling from the door. Once the blade was through he spun it counter clockwise, and gave a small force push, knocking the centre area from the door.

Sovereign Defender Tarna

Tarna jumped through what was once a door. As he ran, he screamed as loud as he could to intimidate the mercs. He slashed one's leg off, then turned and stabbed another through the forehead before they could grasp the situation. However, another two dozen mercenaries were better prepared and opened fire. Tarna had to use all his skill in blaster defense to deflect the beams. He screamed over the sounds of the blaster fire, "Move in!"

The other Sith all came into the room with sabers lit. The mercanaries all brandished vibroblades and put away their blasters. Tarna stood and laughed in the middle of the room. The mercanries simply stared at the laughing Sith. Tarna's eyes changed from brown to a bright glowing yellow as he stopped laughing. He said, in a very un-Tarna like voice, "Idiots." With those words, he charged the nearest merc and clashed blades.

Qel'Vos, who had just entered through the molten-carved blast doors, had already dropped his shouldercape to the floor, pulled his saber from his belt, and let it's fiery blade cut through the air with brilliant white glory. With a slight nudge of his neck to the left, Qel'Vos avoided a vibroblade. Ducking under another, Qel'Vos launched himself into the air, flying over the countless dozens of mercenaries, and landing on the side opposite of his sith brotheren. With a flip of his blade, Qel'Vos sent his white saber into the nearest mercenary's torso, and, with an upward tug, ripped his saber through the being's chest, and out of his shoulder.

With a spiral to his right, Qel'Vos tapped his saber onto an oncoming vibroblade, and sent his opponent's blade right into one of his comrade's chest. Sending his foot into this man's knee, the mercenarie fell to the ground, resting on one knee. Brining his saber about, while rotating his body, Qel'Vos let his blade cut through the mercenary's neck with utter joy. As the wreckless slaughter continued, Qel'Vos disengaged his saber, and slipped out of the battlezone. Sliding himself through a small corridor, Qel'Vos quietly, and confidently, made his way into the ship, heading away, by himself, from the large party of Sith.

Darth Duff

Duff glanced at the onlooking battle, he noticed Qel'Vos slicing through the mercenaries like waiter droids in the Cantina.

"Leave some for others, Mil'Lord" Duff sniggered as he look position at the foot of the ships loading bay.

"I shall stay and protect the ship, I doubt any mercenaries will survive your onslaught" Duff laughed

Duff stayed with the ship coordinating the attack with a small number of sith from orders.

"These shall protect me" Duff joked as he downloaded the ships schematics

[The direct attack turned out correct, if stealth was used the sith would loose vital data on where the mercenaries stored their explosives....
Next Qel'Vos must follow the mercenary running towards the explosives locker, stealthily. The military must enter the barracks and slaughter the mercenaries there. Tarna must search for the lead mercenary and the inquisitors must start there task of finding the ships data....
Some more slaughtering of mercs can be done before and during this]

Isaah

With a keen eye, and a stealthy figure, Qel'Vos snuck his way through the corridors of the mercenary cruiser. His simple leather robes made him nearly invisible in the dimly lit confines of the ship. A group of mercenaries, seemingly in their early thirties, late twenties, ran, ravenously, across Qel'Vos' path. Pressing himself against the wall, his body became enshrawled in shadow as the some-five mercenaries darted past the Sith Lord, and off into a corridor to the left. Qel'Vos, who dropped himself onto the catwalk beneath him, landed with a light thud, and proceeded to follow after the young mercenaries with the upmost haste.

Chasing after the killers for hire like a cat after a pack of mice, Qel'Vos kept a fix on them through the force as they rushed from left to right, taking corridors and hidden passageways through the ship to reach their destination. Whatever they were going to was obviously important, as they'd fled the battle with the Sith to get there. As Qel'Vos rounded a corner, he heard the electronic hum of a door shooting open, then closed. He followed them in, slowly, and as the door shot open, the nimble Sith Lord launched himself into the shadows, landing with a silent roll, and kept himself crouched as he scowered the area for his targets.

Looking around the area, Qel'Vos noticed munitions: blaster rifles, fragmentation grenades, ion grenades, large cannons, boxes with various many writings and languages, battle armours, clothing, as well as large crates which seemed like they were filled with savage beasts, as they were guarded by many mercenaries, who were armed heavily. Lurking through the shadows, Qel'Vos managed to leap onto an overhead catwalk, and, keeping himself low to the railings, Qel'Vos encircled the room, overlooking the guards, mercenaries, weapons, etc., which inhabited the room's confines.

"What's that?!?!" A mercenary shouted as he came around a bend on the catwalk, standing several meters before Qel'Vos. Raising his blaster, the mercenary shot off a round towards Qel'Vos. Using the force to aid his movement, the Sith Lord bent his body around the blast, and, while grabbing onto a rail, spun himself over said rail, and descended towards the mercenaries down below, his blade, ignited, on-hand.

Darth Acrimonus

((Marix, see the discussion thread. Ships are hanging back.))

Acrimonus had watched the carnage inflicted by the other Sith - mostly Tarna and Qel'Vos - with a sense of detachment. He worked with Taki and Marix to clear a path to the main computer terminal.

"Darth Marix, see if you can get a schematic of the ship from the computer," Acrimonus ordered. "We need to locate the barracks, and eliminate anyone we find there."

Isaah

Qel'Vos flipped himself through the air, dodging a flurry of blaster bolts with his fiery white saber. As he hit the metallic framing on the ground with his feet, Qel'Vos tucked his blade in, and cut clean through a mercenary's torso. Crouching himself, as to absorb the impact of the landing, Qel'Vos tossed his saber into the mess of mercenaries, unleashing a violent tornado of white flame. As his blade was off-hand, twirling about the dozen-some mercenaries, Qel'Vos was rushed from the opposite direction.

While crouched, Qel'Vos extended his arms to their full length at his sides, at a downward angle. Instantly, twin navy-blue coloured blades shot forth from his gauntlets. Standing upright, and spinning on his heels quickly, Qel'Vos met a vibroblade with his left-handed gauntlet saber. Spinning himself inwards, and going back into a crouching position, Qel'Vos spun his right blade through the mercenary's right knee, sending him sprawling to the floor with unimaginable pain. With a quick thrust forward, Qel'Vos impaled his left blade into another's gut, before violently ripping it out, and standing to face the group who was just subject to his saber, which was comparable to a ravenous dance of deadly white light.

Disengaging his gauntlet sabers, Qel'Vos caught his spinning blade with ease, as it's grip fit perfectly in his hand. With a gentle grin, followed by a brief, maniacal chuckle, Qel'Vos proceeded to look about the room. Reaching for his COMLINK, Qel'Vos tried contacting Duff:

"What exactly am I looking for in here?" Qel'Vos questioned, his words being slightly distorted with static.

"I will stay here with you, Executor." He said both his sabers batting away blaster fire as it came in. It was soon cut short by one of the many sith killing the mercs. "So what do we do now?" He said looking around, most of the mercs now killed.

MArix walked over to the terminal and began to slice his way through the many security codes. Using the Force to help him along, he was quickly inside the data. He digested every bit of data he could, but kept a look out for the requested. HE found a schematic of the ship and memorized it. Looking for the barracks, he quickly found it. Turning back to Acrimonus, he nodded in the direction of the room and then ran off toward it. He knew Acrimonus would catch up sooner or later, so he didn't bother to slow it down.

Darth Duff

Duff turned to Taki, I should be OK here Taki. You can aid Tarna in finding the lead mercenary, sources tell me he will be holed in his quarters." Duff explained

Duff received the COMLINK message from Qel'Vos

"It should be a small detonation pack, chrome with two handles. It is not very small in size and so could easily be carried by one person. Take care however because it is highly dangerous." Duff replied

Darth Thrax

The High Inquisitor looked at the others who were already working on their task and shrugged. He strode over to the computer terminal and looked through the schematics. He kept looking for the information hardrive but it didn't seem to be there. "Commander, there doesn't seem to be an information hardrive stored on this terminal. Shall I have to use brute force for the information?" Thrax asked.

Darth Acrimonus

Acrimonus raised an Inquisitive eyebrow. "We can ensure that a few mercenaries are left alive - for a little while longer - should you feel it would be more efficient to question them. Would you care to accompany me to the ships barracks?"

He waited, knowing Thrax could easily obtain the ship schematic as Marix had - after all, it was one of many skills he'd been trained in - to locate the computer core. But perhaps the questioning proved more challenging.

Upon hearing Thrax's reply Acrimonus nodded in acknowledgement, then jogged off to catch up with Darth Marix.

Sovereign Defender Tarna

Tarna crept along the main hall. Whenever a mercenary tried to alert others of the Hand's prescense, Tarna simply used the Force to grasp onto their brain...and squeeze. After using this tactic on the fourth mercenary in a row, Tarna stepped over the twitching body. As he started to walk away, he got an idea.

Hand Tarna turned around and bent low over the merc. He eventually found the Rodian's datapad. Tarna skimmed through it's contents until he found a simple floor plan. Some of the areas were labeled. Then Tarna saw exactly what he was looking for. A large room was labeled, "Boss."

Tarna took out his comlink and said, "Executor. I've got the location of the leader's quarters. I'm going to go after him now. Anything last minute?"

Darth Duff

"Yes Tarna, be careful" Duff replied

"The leader is very experienced and so if assistance is required please do not hesitate to call me or any other sith for assistance" Duff explained

Sovereign Defender Tarna

"Sir, I would like to request some aid. Is it possible for Inqusitor Thrax to join me?" Tarna asked into the comlink.

Isaah

His eyes ablaze with fiery intent, Qel'Vos scowered through the room briefly, turning over crates and shelves, snickering at an occassional mercenary he found, not fully realizing how harshly he had cut them down previously. Finally, after about five or so minutes of searching, Qel'Vos found his target: a detonation pack. The chrome-plated device held two handlebars on it's sides, and a small cord hanging from the top, using this, the Sith Lord dropped it over his shoulder, and began hauling it back to the Sith.

Jumping back up to the catwalk, Qel'Vos ran swiftly, like a rabbid beast, twisting right and left with the bends of the metallic frame, then finally, jumped through a small doorway, and found himself back in the ship's corridors. Listening for the lightsabers, which had slowly begun to die off, Qel'Vos darted from one end of the catwalk to another, turned, and dashed from his position to the far end of the new catwalk. He found himself nearly going in circles, before stopping, and reaching for his COMLINK:

"What am I going to do with this thing?" Qel'Vos asked in a quiet tone over his COMLINK, hoping for a quick response from Duff.

The High Inquisitor heard Tarna over his COMLINK and picked it up. "Yes, Tarna, I will assist you. Tell me your position and I will be there shortly." Thrax replied.

Sovereign Defender Tarna

"I'm in Hallway 2699." he said into his comlink. "Get here ASAP." Tarna said crisply.
_________________

Darth Thrax

Thrax headed down a long corridor as Tarna spoke the numbers. The halls twisted and turned as Thrax tried to find Tarna. Suddenly, he halted and looked at two of the halls. "2699." Thrax read aloud. He looked back down the left corridor and got to Tarna shortly. He stopped abruptly, as he met up with Tarna. "Where to?" Thrax asked.
