Crewmen present: Kaiya- XO,Stev-scout some med training- NCO, Kem- gun, Makio- Scout, Pvt Biz-mech,Gunthar- muscle,Samarian- muscle,Teyjo- gun
Shador present- Warlord Garreth UnShador and 24 House Shador men with a variety of large hammers and Imperial weapons. Each is around 7 feet of Asguardian style warrior. 10 of them will be with weapons hidden performing normal ore transport functions.
They have asked that 1 of your unit dress as the Imperial officer and another as a Stormtrooper to complete the deception. The rest can go look for the Blood nobles and secure them or wait on the ship with the other 15 Shador men for the signal to attack.
Kaiya places on the stormtrooper armor and Kem squeezes into the Imperial officer uniform (lucky this officer was a big guy). Gunthar is told to stay with the Shadormen on the ship. That leaves a team of Stev, Makio, Biz, Samarian, and Teyjo to find the blood nobles and secure them.

Stev quickly speaks with the team before they touch down. "Okay, we need an infiltration plan and fast. I'll throw out a few ideas for squad positions, but everyone can feel free to join in with ideas."
"I'll take position as forward scout with Makio, and we'll find a quiet way in. Bifzik, Samarian, and Teyjo can watch the rear and keep up behind us as long as the coast stays clear."
As Stev explains his suggested plan, he starts to get worried. He hopes that Kem can learn how to be mean, and fast, otherwise the entire squad is doomed. May the Force be with him. |

The ore transport docks like the mast of sailing vessel towing overhead and maintain the slow movement of the station as they keep on the dark side of the planet. Three docking ports lock into the ship. One is the airlock that opens to the upper level of the station. One deposits the raw ore into the refinery level. The last will fill the hold with refined alloy to bring to factories on Kolatill. Each airlock has a large turbolift to carry people of cargo up and down from the ship. Food and supplies picked up from the last trip to Kolatill are loaded from the airlock to the top level. The crew of the station will be expecting an imperial officer and a stormtrooper to be supervising the unloading of the crates by 10 Shador slaves. The watchtower has a bored officer and a trooper leaning against an e-web. The Ore elevator and Alloy Elevator are large columns from floor to ceiling that are almost overbearingly noisy from the sounds of ore and alloy passing downward to the refinery.   |

Kaiya (trooper) and Kem (officer) will be travelling down the airlock elevator with 10 House Shador and the first crates of foodstuffs. Kem has the datapad with supply transfer information and they tell him the Officer goes and meets with the Watchtower Officer to process the paperwork (datawork).
How are you getting Stev, Makio, Samarian, Teyjo, and Bifzik (if they are all going) into the base?

"Hm, there doesn't seem to be any way to sneak around traditionally or utilize the terrain...If the supply crates are large enough, we might be able to sneak in while hidden in the crates. However, we'd need to ensure that either we can see out of the crates, or have a member of house Shador open them up when it's go time. They probably won't process the crates instantly, so nobody should even notice. There's still a fair risk though, so if we do it, I'll go first to ensure that everyone else is safe. Does anybody have any other plans?"
Stev thinks about the crates. While he wishes he didn't have to leave his power armor on the Aegis, he can at least appreciate that those crates will be a lot roomier with his Mountaineer armor on.

The ship will be unloading through the airlock elevator large crates of foodstuffs to the galley storage, TIE parts to the TIE hanger, Machine Parts to the storage you see on the map, and a 2m by 1m crate filled with general mail for the station personnel that will go to the NCO Barracks to be distributed. There is also a small box of officer mail.
The Ore elevator is moving dump truck sized bins of ore from the ship to the lower refinery level. The Alloy elevator/airlock is moving finished rolls of the Alloy up to the ship.
So team could choose to hide in crates (tell me which ones)and be crated off to storerooms, or ride the ore elevator down to the lower level.
The 10 House Shador must wear slaver neck rings to complete the deception. The neck rings allow Imperials with the control rod to shock, stun, or kill and Slave with a neck ring on. You do have 2 rods carried by the Officer and the Stormtrooper in your group and each crewmember and House Shador has the key that unlocks the neck rings. Once they have the signal they will unlock the rings and take over the base, but not before they know the Nobles are safe.
Jessa taught the crew members how to act like an Imperial during the jump so you receive a boost on deception rolls.

OOC: Do we know who runs galley storage? It sounds like something Imperials would make slaves do, but I'd prefer to be sure before committing to it. Also, how big are the food crates (one person in each, or multiple?), how filled are they with food, and would there be a steady supply of oxygen inside of them?
EDIT: Oh, never mind, I think I just saw you post that on the 6a thread, so I'll use that info. |

Slave galley and NCO are run by NCO Imperials supervising slaves. The Officer galley is droid and NCO cooks.

OOC: It looks like Kaiya will be overseeing the transport of the crates of foodstuffs, so that'll be the easiest way for us to get in. We can go in the frozen food crates, it won't be comfy but it can hide our heat signatures from scanners if we're surrounded by frozen food. Since the officer verifies the crates from a security cam, if we put two or three layers of frozen food completely surrounding us, we shouldn't be detected, especially since Kaiya will be the eyes on the ground verifying everything.
The only big questions I still have are 1: Who mans the galley storage? 2: Are the crates open to outside air, or will we need to bring oxygen tanks in order to breathe in the airtight crates? If they're sealed, this could also be a big issue when it comes to us getting out of the crates.

OOC: The House Shador and Jessa are not sure if it is Imperial, Slave, or droid who mans the storage. It could be any of the three.
All crates are vacuum sealed and air can be problem if you did not break the seal first and allow air within. If you allow air in and remove half of the foodstuffs to open some airspace you should have about 5 hours of oxygen. At least that is what google says about how long you would survive in a coffin and I think this would be along the same experience.
So if you are going in the frozen section you have 6 crates of frozen going to the the slave/NCO galley and 6 going to the officer galley. You have 8 crates of dry goods going to the slave/NCO and only 4 crates of dry goods going to the Officers.

"Men of Shador, do you have any emblems of your house that I could place on my person in order to properly identify myself as an ally to your fellow house members within the compound?"

"Okay team, let's break down the plan with all of the info we've gathered. There are six crates of frozen food going to the slave galley, so each of the five of us will have to fit in one to sneak in. I'll go in the first crate, then the next crates will be Makio, Teyjo, Bifzik, then Samarion bringing up the rear. Remember, keep yourself entirely surrounded by the frozen goods, otherwise they could detect our heat signatures if they do a scan. Since I go first, I will either talk with the galley staff if they are slaves or eliminate them if they are not. Then, Bifzik needs to find a computer terminal with the schematics of the facility. We'll download them and find whatever isolated area the nobles are hidden in. I'll take Teyjo to rescue the nobles, while Makio, Bifzik, and Samarion need to go to the comm station, eliminate the staff, and prep a comm jamming frequency to cover the entire facility so that our comrades won't be at risk from our actions. Make sure that you only jam the comms if we let you know we've rescued the nobles, otherwise it'll tip off the enemy. Of course, if you get comm chatter mentioning seeing us, immediately jam them as well, since at that point we can only hope the other teams did better."
"Kem and Commander Adrimetrum, my best wishes on the deception. I know you won't let us down. Everyone, may the Force be with you, and let's move into position."
After Stev (hopefully) receives an indicator of his association with House Shador, the team will climb into their boxes and completely surround themselves with frozen food. Kem and Kaiya will prep themselves for their meeting with the Imperials.

Stev climbs into frozen slabs of bacon and finds his spot.
Makio watches the House Shador open the crate and react to the strong smell of seafood.
She looks to Teyjo,"Hey I have a very sensitive nose."
Bifzik finds no problem with the odor and climbs in.
Makio finds the next box has frozen desserts. Soon she is inside feeling like a frozen dessert.
The next box is another stench of seafood. Samarian pushes Teyjo face first into the crate before he can complain.
The last box is slabs of some herd animal. Samarian slides into the box.
The airlock lift lowers and the door slides open. Kaiya tries to mimic the stiff military walk combined with the troopers usual lack of caring. She is a little short for a stormtrooper but still within norms. All seems to be going well as she watches the House Shador men roll the crates full of her friends.
Kem follows the Shador men and from the start does not have Kaiya's casual ability. He stumbles on the lift door frame and his datapad goes skittering across the floor. Chasing it down he finally gets the datapad back in hand and leans up to see a less than amused Officer standing on the stairs up to the security officer. He stumbles forward forgets he is the superior officer and salutes first. The officer looks at his strangely and motions him out of the loud dock and into the watchtower. Walking in he follows the officer up the stairs. Once the doorway slides shut the sounds of ore unloading is muffled. Another officer is sitting at the security consul and turns to watch the proceedings as the Ensign stands staring at Kem's datapad waiting for him to do something other than tug at his collar.
Kem finally remembers,"Oh, yeah my datapad with the normal cargo log. We need to log in the cargo don't we. That is standard uh yeah." He sticks out the datapad at the ensign.
The ensign takes it as the other ensign smirks.

"That you Lieutenant?" The Ensign says taking the datapad.
"Vyson, sir," Kem playing the role or Lt. Slader states nervously.
"Why does your nameplate say Slader lieutenant?" The second Ensign at the security com states moving toward Kem.
"Vyson is my uhh...nickna...first name. Yea Vyson is my first name and oh boy did I get teased." Kem looks past the two officers closing suspiciously in on him. He sees red heat signatures showing in the crates bringing up warning data to the panel. No alarm, but an alert for bad cargo.
"Then why does the log on your datapad say Lieutenant Kyron Slader?" The Ensign is sliding his hand to his blaster.
"Hey, I'm a lieutenant. Back of ensigns before I report you for insubordination."
"What regulation would that be lieutentant?"
"Uhn Reg 11?" Kem pulls his collar again.
"Can You even spell insubordination?"
"For that matter can you even spell Lieutenant?"
Kem raises his hands,"Okay, You got me I don't know the reg. I don't know how to spell either word. Do you know what I do know?"
Kem goes with what he knows he grabs the arm of the Ensign going for his blaster and snaps it as he kicks across the other officers knee putting him on his knees gripping his ripped hamstring in pain.
His sudden attack gains him the advantage and he takes it grabbing the head of the standing officer and cracking it into the kneeling officer. The two drop to the floor of the security tower.
Kem has a moment of feeling better for himself when a call in on the comm. "Ensign Vilhelm the Warden wants the log in report ASAP. He has been waiting a month for the delivery of his Mon Cal Caviar and he wants it now.... Ensign Vilhelm report."
His moment of feeling better just died a quick death.
