[Dana Lance]

Dana and Jim had arrived back on Coruscant, from Kuat, two days before she had gotten the crypted message from outpost M328. She had not told Jim about it, and made Emdee keep an eye on the situation. It had been 24 hours, yet nothing had been said since.

Dana had taken a brief jog in the simulator rather early that morning, she hadn't been able to sleep a full night since the message. She was now heading back to the suites for breakfast and to see Jim before he headed out for another one of his busy work days. Dana had hardly gotten her foot in the door when Emdee nearly knocked her off her feet. "Whoa there old tin man, whats the rush?" "Miss Dee I have another message for you to hear. It came approximately ten minutes after you left this morning." Dana glanced around to see if Jim was near. "He is in the fresher Miss Dee." Dana blushed and gave Emdee a forced smile. "Right. Message. Let me hear it." Emdee led her into an office adjacent to the main room. Her lapscreen was open and seem to be running a diagnostic program. Emdee hit a button on the touch screen and the message began to play. Dana bit her lower lip as she listened intensely to the message. After a few more seconds of playing, it cut out and drizzled to static. Dana shook her head and stared hard at the screen. A noise made her jump and turn around. Jim was standing there. "Jay, how long have you been standing there?"

[Jared Quinn]

Jared stood on the mat as he bounced slightly on the balls of his feet, he was training with Sparky at the moment in the unit's private workout area; He saw the athletic woman swing at him out of the corner of his eye but that was enough for him to spin and grab her arm, his movements fluid and concise as he sent her stumbling forward."Come on sparky, you can do better then that."

In truth fighting like this reminded Jared of his younger years in the ring, he waited for Sparky to get back up as he stood there on the mat watching her; the rest of the still developing unit was working on various machines around the mats and occasionally making smart comments. Jared motioned for them to shut it as he waited for Sparky to attack him again, Sparky spun and connected to Jared's side for a moment as he grunted before grabbing her foot and twisting quickly; this sent the shorter bakuran woman to the floor with a umph. He back away slowly as he watched Sparky get back up and dust her self off before backing up slowly and bowing to him. "Getting better Sparky, give it more time and you'll beable to hold your own."

He knew woman was doing her best but he didn't expect her to be a proficent as he and a few of the others were at hand to hand given the fact that she was a computer specialist and not a true combat specialist. Jared then grabbed his towel and wiped the sweat from his brow before hitting the showers, it took him only a few moments afterwards to get to his quarters and open his datapad; he saw the ODST insignia glowing faintly against the black backdrop before he punched in his access codes.

[James Stratus]

Jim smiled. "Long enough, Miss Dee," he said, mimicking the droid. "Why didn't you tell me about this?" he asked softly. He was not mad or upset, just a bit inquisitous. He had enjoyed a very trusting relationship with Dana and never doubted her, he just tried to maintain the openness between them. She had always been open with him...well....most of the time. He grinned. "From the sounds of things you're about to take a wack at your new job and go on a mission. Nothing new to you, though, the only difference is you'll have an entire government on your side and official support teams at your disposal, the only other difference is you won't have me there at your side...." The thought hurt him, he would hate to see anything happen to her. She was very skilled and capable, and been in many sticky situations in the past, but Jim was very protective by nature, but he knew her well enough to know he had to let that sort of thing go. He wanted the relationship to last, and giving her the space and freedom she needed would be key to that goal. That didn't mean he wouldn't have a few shadow noghri tailing her, or even going along with her. But he was letting her take charge, even in helping select people for her future team. He kissed her briefly. "I know what you have to do, and I won't stop you, but let me help however I can."

[Dana Lance]

Dana tried to smile, but failed miserable. "You've been really busy lately and I did not want to add to that stress." She shrugged her shoulders. "I am sorry, I should have told you." She grabbed the lapscreen and folded it up, handed it to Emdee and motioned for him to leave. "I keep forgetting I have a position within your government. I guess its going to take some getting use to. But, some help would be nice. Can you do that for me?" Dana stopped and laughed. "Of course you can," she walked over to him and wrapped his arms around herself. "Two of your best men, and I guess me asking for you to not tail me is out of the question?" She was referring to the creepy creatures Jim always had in the shadows. She had never spoken to one and she was sure she was not suppose to see one, but on a bust a few years back, one had to dive for cover after an explosion, the dank cave light and revealed him. From then on Dana felt as if she could feel them lurking in the shadows, following Jims every move. On Coruscant, there seemed to be many many more. "And I would like to leave by dinner time." She bit her lower lip and waited.

[Corran Halcyon]

Corran had some time off and desided to work on his personal ship. He was working on a laser turrent when his datapad beeped letting him know he got a new message. "Wonder what it is this time." He thought to himself. He saw that it was a message from his office computer, stating that a message from the IRSB has just been sent, and that it was urgent. He climbed down off his ship, wiped off the grease from his hands and made his way to his office.

[James Stratus]

He raised his eyebrows. "Well, I won't tail you personally, as much as I'd like to, but I'm afraid what you're referring to is really unavoidable. Even if I did ask my dear friends not to tail you, I'm afraid they would, just without my knowledge. I know them too well. They are more protective of me and my family than I am. Perhaps I can introduce you to some of them, especially the ones that often follow you one of these days." He walked over to a terminal they had on their wall and inserted his code cylinder, and began issuing orders. He got on his comlink and spoke quickly in a language she did not understand. A gravely voice responded, and then he was quickly on the comlink with a different voice, this time human. "I need priority clearance for a ship to clear the atomosphere, and it is not to be recorded." A few minutes later the orders were all issued, and those that recieved them were undoubtedly preparing even now for departure. "Everything should be ready within two hours." He hugged her again. "I will never be too busy for you Dana, ever. Talk to me anytime, even if I am not here, you will always be admitted to my private office or wherever I am. Two of our special agents will be waiting for you at your new ship in an hour for you to brief them. May the Force be with you, and Happy Hunting."

[Corran Halcyon]

Corran read over the message. "Hmmm... I think I got some stuff for this mission in my ship. He went down to his ship. "Lets see...Ahh.. here's my sniper rifle, uhh blaster rifle and pistol, and some old Spec. Ops. combat utillities." Corran got all his stuff together within the hour. He went to his office to finish up some lose ends in his work.

[Jared Quinn]

Jared had just finished eating a quick meal when his datapad bleeped twice to tell him of a new message, he walked over and touched the message to bring it up on the screen, he read over it a few times and rubbed his chin; it was definitely another thing he was going to have to learn about since he didn't have much experience in intelligence gathering. It was then another message arrived on his datapad and this one he read slowly taking in the information on it before he closed his datapad, it took him only a few moments to grab his case with his gear in it; he looked around his quarters and wondered exactly what kind of operation this was going to be.

He stood there for a few moments dressed in plain clothes, it felt strange to him to not be dressed in BDUs or his armor since that was all he had worn for quite some time; he looked down at his two gear cases satisfied he had enough equipment with him at the moment. Jared then pulled out his comlink and punched in Thomas's comlink number since he needed to let his Unit XO know he'd be gone for sometime it looked like, the conversation lasted only a few moments before he stashed his comlink inside his coat and grabbed both of his cases.

It took him a matter of moments to arrive at the ground floor of the army barracks that housed army special forces units on Coruscant, He took a transport to the landing pad he had been notified of in the message. Jared waited for Dana and the other officer they were going to send along, he was mildly curious as to why he had been tapped for IRIS DAI and for this operation given his low rank and stationing.

[Dana Lance]

Dana was surprised at how easy and quick it was for him to get a ship and two men ready for her. She shook her head and laughed. "It must have driven you mad at how slow things worked in the Rift and Unknown. I don't know how you survived." She was teasing him of course. The ways she was use to must have seemed so old fashion or rather under financed. She kissed his cheek. "Thank you. I appreciate it. And if you do not mind, I would rather not meet your friends just yet. Lets keep them in the shadows for now." As if reading her mind Emdee hummed into the room. "Shall I begin packing Miss Dee?" Dana nodded and Emdee hummed out of the office. She turned back to Jim. "I am sure you are running late and I do not want to keep you, but do you have these two agents files. May I see them?" She was still getting use to the fact she was an agent for the IR now. Dana wasn't sure what her limits where quite yet. Jim nodded and went to the computer terminal at the desk. After a few key strokes he stood and motioned for her to look at the monitor. "Here are their profiles. Read as much as you like. I have to get going." (permission to RP) He kissed her forehead. "Be safe." and left her to the monitor. Dana leaned over and briefly looked over both mens profiles. She read up quickly on their military backgrounds and then sent the rest to her lap screen. At that moment Emdee came in. "I have packed what little you have brought Miss Dee." Dana nodded. "Lets wrap this up Emdee." She grabbed the small bag or her "lucky pack" as she called it, she could not count how many times it had saved her life, and headed for the door.

She arrived at the coordinates Jim and given her and was surprised to see both of the men already there and ready to go. Emdee hummed louder than usual. "It would seem some one(s) has beaten us to the hanger." Dana nodded as she approached the men. "Jared Quinn and Corran Halcyon is it? Hi Dana Lance. Thank you for coming on such short notice."

[Corran Halcyon]

Corran finished his work and headed down to the pad. He arrived at the launch pad and saw the other officer . "Goodmoring, Lt. Quinn."

Edited by Corran Halcyon, 14 February 2009 - 10:50 AM.

[Jared Quinn]

Jared nodded to Corran as he approached the landing pad as well, he had a idea this was the other special forces operator who was from navy, he didn't exactly remember the name of the man at the moment but figured it would come out in passing; he then noticed the woman approaching and he listened as she spoke.

"Not a problem Ma'am, brought a bit of gear with me since I didn't know the exacts on the Op. Just a bit of armor and weapons." He motioned to the cases that sat next to him, the larger case housed armor only seen by those who had been apart of the rishi operation and the technicians back at the base.

[Dana Lance]

Dana nodded and gave a semi smile. “Well if you two gentlmen do not mind, lets finish this conversation inside.” she motioned towards the ship. Dana moved forward and entered the ship. She felt the two men behind her follow her up the ramp and into the small escort ship. Dana threw her sack on the nearest tabletop she could find and headed for the cockpit. She slid into the pilot seat and began powering up the small ship. “First off, I wanted to tell you both, this is not a mission for the IRIS or the IR. Rather its off the books so to speak.” The ship began powering up as she spoke. “Mr. Halcyon, please, the co pilot seat.” She was sure both men could fly co pilot, but Halcyon was Navy. She tossed a log book at him. “These are our coordinates. If you will, take us out. And plot the course.” She was anxious to get to their destination.

[Corran Halcyon]

"Aye Ma'ma." Corran took the book and looked at the coordinates. "G'rho.. hmmm... right by Bakura. Your in luck Ma'ma, I know a few shortcuts to the Bakura System, it wont take us as long to get there." He pulled out a data stick from his pocket, and stuck it in the Nav computer. "I figured since we were not going to be on main trade routes all the time, I brought updated routes to many of the Unknown and Outer Rim systems." Corran turned back around and started the departure. Soon they were in space. "Coordiantes and routes check out. Prepare for lightspeed." Outside the white stars stared to turn into blue lines as the ship entered hyperspace.

[Dana Lance]

Dana smiled. “Jay, I mean Jim said you were familiar with the Unknown Regions, particularly Chiss Space.” She watched as the ship jumped to hyperspace before spinning her chair around so she had a good view of both Halcyon and Quinn. “I am sure you are both wanting details, but first things first. Please don't call me ma'am.” she smiled. “Dee will do. Formalities on this mission are not needed. And anyway ma'am makes me sound old. As for details, well to give you those I must give you a brief history lesson. I am not sure how much you know about the circumstances you are flying into. Some ages ago a group of alien monks from the Kathol Rift formed a brotherhood. They were the first to leave their home planet and traveled around in organic starships. They began their reign with violence and destroyed any who dug into their business. But the one thing they hated more were slavers. Now slavery has been banned for centuries and there are strict policies against it within the Rims of the IR. Its another story entirely outside of it. Over the last few centuries human and alien trafficking has increased 62 percent. The brotherhood saw this increase and decided to take matters into their own hands. Because the IR laws do not extend to the Unknown Regions nor Wild Space, the monks saw fit to act. For the first time in their lives the monks left the Rift and ventured out into the unknown. For decades now they have been destroying these trafficking operations and freeing the enslaved. I was among one of the freed. My family had been murdered and I had no home. The monks decided to take me in and train me as one of their own. I headed up many of their operations. Thats how I met your High Prince. For the past few years he has been aiding us in our struggle with the pirates.” she stopped and looked at both men. “Are you both with me so far?”

[Corran Halcyon]

"Good to go, Ma'...um i mean.. Dee."

[Jared Quinn]

Jared didn't take long in finding himself a place to stash his equipment and then found his way to one of the terminals, he used his new access codes to find out information on the area of space they were traveling to since he had never heard of G'rho before. He sat there for some time paging over the information as they left the atmosphere of Coruscant, it was then he was reminded of why he disliked spaceflight as the tinny taste of recycled air filled his mouth.

He looked up at the cockpit just in time to see them enter hyperspace and see the stars stretch out as they always did when a ship entered hyper, he wondered how long it would take them to arrive.

[Dana Lance]

Dana noticed Quinn go for the cockpit terminal. She smiled slightly to herself. “You wont find anything current in that database. Most of the information you'll find in there are statics, population, and trades which I am sure is inaccurate.” Emdee hummed into the cockpit. “Here Lt Quinn, if you want updated information we have a collection of reports by our own people.” Emdee handed the Lt a small jack that plugged into the terminal. Dana nodded. “Emdee is right, if you want to know current events the reports will be your best bet.” She stood and went for her lucky pack, from it she grabbed a ration bar. “G'rho is just a lay over. There we will be getting our mission. So I wouldn't be studying to much up on the planet. You should turn your attention to the factions we have taken down so far. Maybe fresh eyes on the case is what we are looking for. Emdee can show you how to access the files. If you two don't mind, I am going to get some shut eye, I haven't gotten much sleep the last few nights.” She left it at that and headed for the small compartment in the back near the ramp. She sighed and settled in. Meanwhile back in the cockpit Emdee had access the files Dana had been talking about and transferred it to the viewing port. “Gentlemen, this is all of the reports and notes Miss Dee has gathered over the last decade or so.” There was hundreds of reports, small clips of transmissions, pictures, blue prints and layouts of bunker facilities. “All of this is what she has on the pirate faction. We first thought it was simply weapons they were smuggling, but when Miss Dee brought down a large fraction many years ago, the monks realized it wasn't just slavery they were fighting against,” Emdee brought up several disturbing photo's of aliens and humans alike. “As you can see, this must be stopped.” Emdee backed away from the controls. “I will leave the two of you to search through the files. Please if you need me I will be recharging.” Emdee hummed over to the nearest socket and plugged in leaving both men to over look the horror they were about to face head on.

[Corran Halcyon]

Corran looked at Quinn. "Well we got a lot of reading to do. Lets split up the information. You can work on the blueprints and layouts. I'll look at the pictures and transmisson clips and see what we are up against."

[Jared Quinn]

Jared started looking over the plans and layouts, his mind began to process the information and he began to scribble on the datapad he had; he began scribbling out attack methods and what he perceived to be weaknesses in their defenses. It was one of the few subjects Jared had excelled in during his days at the academy along with unarmed combat, he still wondered occasionally how he had been passed through most of his classes given his inability to wrap his mind around about half of what they taught.

He spent a good deal of time pouring over what Emdee had unlocked for them before finally he pushed himself away from the console and streched, he headed back towards the galley to find himself a corner to prop himself up for some sleep since he had a feeling it was a commodity he wouldn't be getting much of in the next few days.

[Corran Halcyon]

Corran had gone through hours of media. He saw Jared get up and leave. He sat there for another hour or so. He checked his crono, "About six hours left. I think I'm going to take a shower and a nap." he said to himself. He got up and went to his quarters took a shower and laid down. He set his crono for a hour before the had to revert to real space.

[Dana Lance]

Dana had drifted into a deep sleep. There was no noise, just silence. She was afraid to open her eyes at first. The silence frightened her. She stayed huddled in the fetus position for a moment longer before cracking open one eye. It was dark and only a single errie light from afar could be seen. She dared herself to breathe and found it hurt. She reached down and touched her rib's and felt the stinging pain of bruises and possible cracked ribs. It hurt which brought unwanted tears to her eyes. *This is not happening. It cannot be happening* she kept repeating over and over to herself. A sudden noise to her left made her jerk into a ball. The smell that entered the room wanted to make her puke, a hand grabbed at her. "Get up girl. Master wants a looksy at you." Dana cried out as the disgusting smelling person yanked her into a standing position. She turned to face him and nearly screamed in horror. The man was badly scarred and had a black pit for one eye. "You think I am ugly?" He laughed and his fowl breath nearly knocked her unconscience. "What till I get done with ya. You wont look so pretty." He halfed dragged her out of the dark cell and into a long corridor. Dana closed her eyes and prayed to be awaken from this terrible nightmare. Bright lights engulfed her and she felt herself being thrown to the floor. Her pretty dress was now tattered and her brothers dried blood still caked the front of her dress and face. "She is a pretty one isn't she?" Dana recognized the voice as the one who had slashed her left side open. "But her on the cleaning duty until that limp is gone, and Flyn don't you dare lay a hand on her pretty little head. I have plans for her." Dana heard the one eyed man gurgle his disaprovement, she whimpered as the red bearded pirate came close. "Oh do I have plans for you little missy." he began to laugh and everything else seemed to be drowned out by it.

Dana woke with a start. Bells where going off. She scrambled to her feet and headed for the cockpit. It was empty as she took a seat. They where coming up on G'rho, she cut power to the sumlight engines and the small ship jumped from hyperspace. The murky world of G'rho also jumped into view.

[Corran Halcyon]

Corran had fallen into a heavy sleep and did not here his crono go off. He jumped up when he heard the alarms go off in the ship. he made his way to the cockpit and saw Dee shuting off the power to the hyperdrive engines. "Oh man, sorry about that. I've been meaing to get a new crono, one that I can actually hear." He looked up and saw the world of G'rho in the viewport.

[Dana Lance]

Dana gave Halcyon a small smile. "Not a problem." She piloted the small ship into the atmosphere of the murky planet. "We'll have to set her down on the out skirts of the city. I'd rather not have any scavengers try and tear apart our ship." What was once the Boku Settlement was know a city of scavengers, people and aliens alike who where either wanted on other words, or who did not want to be found. Dana knew the city like the back of her hand. She had been stationed here for a few years and she had been relieved when she was resigned. They flew high enough above the city to not be recognized, but low enough that Dana could pin point familiar sights. After what seemed like forever, they came to the out skirts of the settlement. She set the ship down with a soft thud and turned off the engines. (I am assuming Quinn is with us) "Welcome to G'hro gentlemen. Lucky for us we wont be staying long. Halcyon, please stay with the ship. Do what is necessary to protect her. Otherwise we wont be getting off this rock. Quinn, head into the city and get provisions. We'll need food enough to feed a crew of six plus ourselves. Be creative. Plus any spare weapons you can get would be great too. Meanwhile, I am going to meet our contact, we should meet back here within the hour." Dana grabbed for her pack and pulled out bracelets of some sorts. She tossed them to both men. "Put these on. They are trakers, Emdee will be able to locate us up to a radius of 50 miles or so. One last thing, no radios, no transmissions of any kind. The pirates have some sort of station out in the forest that tracks all radio signals. Be careful and may the force be with you." Dana turned back to her pack and pulled out a blonde wig, once in place she gave both men a small smile and headed for the ramp. "See you both on the otherside."

[Jared Quinn]

Jared had woken up shortly before their touchdown outside of the city and he popped his neck as listened to orders being given out, as she spoke about scavengers he idly pulled down his shirt sleeves to cover the slight tattoo's that sat upon both arms, he didn't need someone seeing them and recognizing who wore them and who exactly he was.

As the bracelet flew towards him he caught it deftly before looking it over before slipping it on."Bit unmanly ma'am. " His tone joking as he looked at the device for a moment, he thought of what she had explained and what he had read on the planet; he figured the market would be much like treasure row but without the crush of people. Jared fully planned on going armed in case things got ugly and needed some sort of swift action from him.

After Dana left he grabbed his pistol and slipped into the holster he had brought with him along with a worn bantha leather coat, soon enough he was heading into the settlement and the market.

[Dana Lance]

Dana made her way quickly into the city. Night was drawing near and it was only a matter of time before the pirates came out to play. Pulling her fake blond hair back over her shoulders, Dana ducked into a small cantina that was just off the main strip. She headed for the bar and flipped the bar tender a gold medallion. “Give me your best shot.” The man nodded and turned to fill up a glass full of an electric blue liquid. He slide the glass over to Dana, and just as she brought the drink to her lips a familiar husky voice called out to her from across the bar. “Khloe, all be damned it is you.” Dana ignored him and took a sip of the drink. Whatever it was, coated the inside of her throat with a warm feeling. She turned to see who had called her by her under cover name, Khloe Kain. “Tal, should have known you would be skulking around this place. I see your fortunes haven't gotten any better.” The man laughed. “Its a shady business princess, so what brings you back after all these long years?” Dana rolled her eyes at him calling her princess. “I did not come back for you,” she took another drink. “and thank your makers I am not your princess. Otherwise I'd have you beaten for not bathing properly.” Tal laughed. “Still with the sarastic comments. I knew this place was lacking something.” A slight movement from behind made Dana go for her blaster, she began to relax when she heard him speak. “Is this scavenger bothering you Miss?” Dana turned around to face the man, he was a few years older than her and had a full grown beard. Dana had to hold back laughter as she nodded her head. “Would you mind getting rid of him for me. I would appreciate it.” The man turned to Tal who was already backing away. “Fine I get the hint, just don't come running to me when Mr, beardman here makes you cry.” With that he left and the bearded man took his seat. “Seriously Corin a beard?” she let out a slight chuckle. “You know you look ridiculous.” Corin stroke the beard fondly. “Hey, I happen to like it! I thought it made me look manly.” Dana rolled her eyes. “Yeah you look like a man from some back watered planet. You know the ones were they worship trees and earth.” Corin scowled and grabbed her drink, finishing it off he shook his head. “The ladies like it and thats all that matters.” Dana waved her hand. “I do not even want to know. So are you my contact here? Its getting late and I need to get to the outskirts before nightfall.” Corin nodded. “Sorry I was late, something happened back at base I had to over see. Anyway, lets get out of here. I'll brief you once we reach safe walls.” Dana and Corin both stood and headed for the exit. Tal was there to greet them. “Wait a minute here Khloe, you aren't going home with this guy are you?” Dana slipped her arm into Corin's. “I like men with beards.” She smiled at Corin and then the two walked out leaving Tal scowling with disgust.

[Corran Halcyon]

Corran watched as Dana and Jared left the ship. He closed the boarding door and locked it. He set the outside security camras to alert him if there was any movement near the ship. He went to the lounge after he got a few of his guns out of his room. He sat down at a table and started taking the weapons apart to clean them as he watched the security monitors.

[Dana Lance]

The shadow's on G'hro had always been full of spying eyes. For generations now, the pirates and hutts had many spys on the outer rims and unknown regions. Pirating had become a big source of income for the two thriving enterprises. In the past few years traffiking had become their biggest market as of yet.

"Sir, a ship has just landed on the outskirts of the city."
"You have eyes on it?"
"Yes sir. What would you like me to do?"
A moments pause made the little messanger shiver with fear.
"Have you identified the passengers?"
"There are three sir. Two males and a female."
"And?"
"And sir they do not seem like a threat, the males that is sir."
"What do you mean the males?"
"Well sir they look, not so threatening sir."
"But the female?"
"Sir the female was, was."
"Well stop your stammering and be out with it!"
"Its Kain sir. She is back."
"Blast it! Are you sure?"
"Very sure sir. We have spotted her at her usual hub sir off main. She left with one of her contacts sir."
"Track them. I want to know ever move she makes. As for her guest, bring them to me, alive. Do not underestimate them. If they are with Kain, they may be more dangerous then they look. As fir there ship, destroy it. I do not want Kain leaving on her own terms. If there is a bee in the room I would like to know where it is."
"Sir yes sir."

Giodonni, the pirate lord snarled as he dismissed his pathetic messanger. Kain was a nightmare, a festing wound that would not heal. If she was bring reinforcements, his nightmare was about to get worse.

Emani was a humble little man who had seen better times. He had been captured and beaten into submission. His only loyalties now where to his master, the Lord Pirate Giodonni. He murmered to himself as he hurried down the dank corridors if his masters home. "This is going to be bad, I just know it. My old bones tell me this will not end well. No not well at all. No No." He continued his mumbling as he entered the main security office of the compound. "Tavner, the Lord Giodonni has ordered you and your men to track down that ship you spotted ealier and bring its passengers to him. He wants them alive. No exceptions Tavner, no excemptions at all."

Tavner was a husky lookin individual. No one could tell what exactly he was and no one asked. "Alive eh. The boss never said he could not have no fun either. Don't worry little Emani, we'll bring em back all safe and prettiered." he turned to his men. "You heard the little man. Get your gear, we going huntin boys!" A loud cheer rose from the men as they began pulling weapons and equiment from varies places.

Tavner ordered his men to split into three parties. "No remember men, keep em alive for the boss, but bring them in no matter what kinds of technic you gotta use." They men hollered and jumped on speeders. Tavner led his men into the heart of the city, his mission was Kain.

Meanwhile Tavners right hand man, Mijah headed for the market. His left hand man Haych headed for the outskirts.

[Jared Quinn]

Jared haggled with one of the vendors for some food supplies."Those go for far less on treasure row, don't try to shiest me." His voice a low growl as he threw down the food ration, he moved past the vendor and deeper into the market district. He saw children playing and not noticing how hard things truly were there but he remembered his days living in treasure row and not knowing how hard things were for his family. Jared mumbled about life being hell for those living on scraps but something prickled in the back of his mind.

He looked around slowly trying to see if someone was following him, he didn't spot anyone at first but something still felt off to him; Jared continued over to another vendor who's price was a bit better on the rations. Jared haggled for a short time before both sentients agreed upon a price, the exchange of credits was quick and Jared took the sack that the vendors have shoved them into before slinging it over his shoulder.

He continued through the market seeing a few weapon's dealers but none of them carrying the caliber of weapons he was looking for since he figured they were going to need a good deal of explosives and heavy weapons if they were going to assault something heavily defended. Jared finally stopped at a dealer hocking different weapons and he looked over a few of the smaller arms before motioning that he wanted to see one of the heavy rifles. It was then that Jared got that prickly feeling on the back of his neck again like someone was watching him...
