Tevan grips an armrest for dear life with one hand, but keeps the other resting on his lap in an attempt to look in control. Loh'Khar isn't exactly the most trustworthy member of the crew, so he doesn't want to look scared or weak if he doesn't have to. "I'm not sure how much you've heard from the FarStar since lockdown, but we've got two other groups around here, the team that took down the Noblestar and the team that returned from Aariss. I don't know where they are, but hopefully we'll run into each other eventually. The reason we snuck out is to give bad news though, not good news." a deep frown crosses Tevan's face as he continues "Remember how Kl'aal and Toric escaped from Locain and the temple? Well, it turns out the cult Locain was commanding was a group of novice Inquisitors, and he's the head one. If they get involved, we don't stand a chance. We're here to warn everybody we can about them, so hopefully everybody can look out for them as we figure out how to rescue the Command Staff. How've your investigations been going? I don't suppose you've got a way to rescue them yet?"

"We were actually heading to the Church of the Prophet to meet with Low'Khar's friends in the group. Would have been walking right into the Rancor den." Thanis looks to the Twi'Lek.
"My friends can not be connected to Inquistors. They do work to pave the way for the return of the true prophet. The one who can truly bring balance to the universe. They do not look for conquest but the end of conquest and war. I can not believe the church is a part of this, at least not knowingly. I do know that Locain followed a local Jedi Excile who you also follow my young friends. Are we sure his darkness does not come from him? I have heard the Legends of Quin Lan Voss and his past. Your teacher spent as much time following the dark as the light."

Tevan gives a disgruntled frown and narrows his eyes at Loh'Khar. He sees the game the Twi-Lek's playing, and he's having none of it. "Cute, but if you want to start shifting blame on my Master to deflect attention from the trap YOU almost sprung, you'll have to try harder. Jessa can confirm that Locain and his band of merry men may not be full-blown Inquisitors, but they've all received training from the Inquisitorius. Whatever you think of the church in general, THIS church is the home of a crazed dark-side cult that may be sitting right on top of a Gree Gate. If you'll remember, PART of a Gree Gate managed to vac half the bridge crew, so I'm sure you'll agree that having a complete gate is a matter of great concern."
"The bottom line is that we need to stop them, but we can't do that if most of the crew is impounded and imprisoned. We've got to regroup, rescue the command crew, and find a way to fix this whole mess before those cultists figure out how to use the power they have. We don't have time to waste playing the blame game."

"If Locain is here we have more problems than I imagined. They say Sarne gave orders to the imperial forces left to purge the planet if the Shador wins back rule. With the Noble Star gone they will not be able to succeed but that does not mean they won't try. We have a flaw in there defenses that should tilt the odds in our favor." Low'Khar slides the conversation into another direction.
"We have scouted the imperial forces on the planet and they number possibly a hundred organics on the whole planet. The rest of the forces are old separatist battle droids." Scourne states. "The are series one battle droids."
"That means they are just terminals for the central control unit. It was a flaw that was corrected in later versions." Low'Khar adds.
"Probably why these pieces of poodoo are all the way out here. We cut the head off the snake and it dies." Thanis draws his favorite knife making a slicing motion.

Tevan raises an eyebrow, accepting the bait placed in front of him. "So, where is this central control unit?"

"Same place it has been for 40 years. The control ship standing at the feet of the Emperor's statue." Thanis states.

"Sounds like a lot of trouble to get to, and even more to infiltrate. Have you seen or heard anything from the other teams yet? Many hands make light work, and this task is looking pretty heavy."

"Many hands make too much noise." Kl'aal states.
"Gorrum right my friend." Thanis states,"We have to many people we get noticed. We only need one to blow up a computer."
"Legend has it one gifted youth Mikal's age brought and entire ship and droid army down all by himself in the Battle of Naboo." Low'Khar states."We have three little gifted ones and a Thanis."
The garbage lift stops with a jerk and Scourne and Thanis move out the secure the position with Kl'aal. They soon return and escort you to a old dilapidated dock. At the dock is a small submersible.
"It's old but it also is without computer assists. It will get you to the island."Low'Khar states. "My associates and I will make contact with friends in the church. We will see if they know anything of this Locain and his Inquisitors. Be well my friends. May the cards of fate be a strong hand."
"Die Well Low'Khar." Thanis states moving to the submersible with his gear.
"You Mandolores think too much about death. Live well my friends let the others die." Low'Khar begins to walk away from the dock with his 3 small friends following behind. They load into the garbage lift and drive slowly away.

Tevan looks from side to side "So...did he just leave us without land transportation, without supplies, without a plan, and expect us to somehow take down an entire Imperial base? Oh, but he did give us a submersible that's even more likely to kill us than the Imperials, plus he's going to meet with the most dangerous people on the entire planet. Why are we listening to him? Even Vader had a starship, all we have is 'the cards of fate'."

"Low'Khar's been pulling off the impossible since before you where a tadpole in your daddies sack kid", Thanis states. "Of course we have a plan. Land on the island, sneak around, and when caught kill everything. It's a well used plan in these parts."
"We have supplies and the submersible is more than it looks. It even has an ace pilot," Scourne states.
As you approach the dock the ace pilots long eared gungan head pops out,"Hurry, hurry, meesaa get very dead if caughts heres. Hurry."

As Tevan climbs into the submersible, he thinks to himself Worst. Plan. Ever. New goal: Make sure Mik and Jen don't die. At this point, the others are actively trying to get killed.

Inside the submersible is clean, well maintained, and totally opposite the hunk of junk on the outside. Thanis armors up and pulls on a mobile e-web harness. He checks the weapon and smiles. Scourne applies non-reflective black camo paint to face, hands, and shiny parts of her armor. She shoulders a sniper rifle and a variety of knives disappear into parts of her armor. Kl'aal finds a blaster rifle, blackened knife, and a needler pistol with stun darts. There is a decent number of weapons left on the wall rack.
"Kl'aal will take point. Scourne will be our sniper. Once we make the ship I will set up a kill zone to keep our escape clear and attract attention. Kl'aal and you three will find the crew and disable the central computer. So bring a few weapons to arm the captain. Any questions."

OOC: So, what kind of stuff are we talking about here? I'm sure we've got the basic pistols and rifles, but it sounds like there's some unique gear there too.

You have a number of hours while the ship slides down river and takes the slow undetectable underwater path to the island. You even catch a little sleep that missed all last night. The nifty weapons where special orders for Scourne and Thanis. You do find a half dozen splat grenades, and an even more exciting half dozen ion grenades. It is almost noon when you crawl out of the sub as it just barely breaks the surface. You are on the backside of the island from the ship and the statue that looms over. The overland route is a slow one in the sandy beach then swampy lands of the island. Finally the ship looms overhead. You are staring at the huge ion engines. From the front you can hear the clanging of a thousand steps in unity.  |

Tevan looks at the schematic and comments "Can we approach the ship from the back? All of their transmission towers are located in the rear, so if we can take those down, we win. No droids, no fighting, no problems."
