Among the Cartels & Gangs

It was just supposed to be another boring day at the center, sitting at a desk...ticking time away. Though the government residing over Courscant had thought differently for Arcan. Something which he was glad for...at least mostly. He was glad to be out in the field again, though he honestly hadn't been wanting to do anything today. He didn't know what it was, maybe it was having just gone on a date with Naddy a few nights ago. Yeah, that actually was probably what it was. He had recently been spending more time with her ever since their first date, something he was glad for despite his awkwardness when being around her and talking to her. Though, he'd have to save that for another night. Cause tonight, he had to go into the dreaded under-levels and deal with some Cartel filth. The Copper Skorpions to be specific. They had been causing lots of trouble recently, even a gunfight with the police though their were no casualties luckily.

Arcan had been preparing for awhile in the armory. He had been sifting through the various arms and armor in the armory, trying to figure out what would work for the job. He had eventually chosen a special set of riot-gear (pictured above) along with an collapsible assault-rifle and sniper-rifle. Well, and his trusty stun baton and pistol at his sides. Arcan was nervous, he hadn't taken on many cartel members before...though the government thought he was the best option just cause he graduated top of his cadet class.

Noah sighed as he landed the speeder he had rented, well he hadn't rented it exactly it had been rented for him so he could better get around with his current assignment. That current assignment was actually a pretty interesting assignment. He had been tasked with leading the Omega Pyre portion of a 12-man team that would consist of six Omega Pyre contractors and six Coruscant Security officers who would be going into the Undercity and taking down a cartel known as the Copper Skorpions. Noah snorted at that, these small Coruscant gangs were always coming up with more absurd names all the time that it made Noah think they were using some kind of random name generator to come up with them.

Now Noah was walking into the armory and he saw the other leader of team [member="Arcan Castilion"]. Setting his duffle bag which contained his gear, his armor, his rifle, his sidearm, his knives and his blade, down on a nearby bench Noah looked at the Glaucus and nodded, well at least he knew that he'd have support. "You Castilion?"

In different circumstances, Arcan would've jumped when his name was called from the shadows. Though, he had known [member="Noah Corek"] was coming the moment the government had told him he was in charge of a team. He hadn't heard of Noah before, though apparently he was a big deal. Something Arcan preferred to see on the field of battle. He'd seen too many 'big-deals' come and go in the field, though something told Arcan that Noah was different. It must've been the way Noah carried himself and the way he walked, Noah carried himself like a hardened soldier...one who had seen war and death and the bleakness of life and had lived to tell the tale. Arcan turned to Noah after a few moments of making sure he had the correct gear.
"Yep, that's me. I take it that you're Noah?"

Noah nodded to Arcan's question as he began to take his kit out of his duffel bag. Obviously the armor was first. Sitting down Noah was already garbed in the armors bodysuit, boots and forearm armor. The lower extremity armor was the first to go on. Thigh plates followed by the hip and cod piece, then the upper arms, shoulder pauldrons and finally the cuirass. Noah decided against the jet pack this time due to the tight space they were going to be in. Slipping his helmet on and with a few non-verbal commands Noah brought up his HUD which began to show status reports.

The flamethrower was completely filled and ready to burn. The electrified whipcord was fully spooled up and battery one-hundred percent charged. His vibroknucklers were fully operational and sharpened. MFTAS System, motion sensors, HUD, range finder, filter system, oxygen reserve tank, radio, radio antenna and encryption device were all running in the green. The only thing that wasn't working was the audio/visual recorder which Noah did on purpose.

Pulling his rifle out Noah made the scope was secured and calibrated, it had a good lower power scope for medium range engagements and micro red dot for short range engagements. Next was the stubby grip he had, small enough to not hinder in close quarters but large enough to provide a good grip. Finally he made sure the suppressor was tightened and there was no major damage to it. Setting his rifle down Noah looked over to Arcan. "So have you already briefed your guys?"

 

[Huxy]

"Yeah I've briefed them already, [member="Noah Corek"]. Also, be careful with that flamer of yours. The cartel we're after...well they've often gotten their hands on some advanced, more modernized tech. Also, I'm curious, why are you taking down a cartel?"
Arcan sat on the bench opposite of Noah, his hands clasped in front of him. Arcan knew he could die doing this, he knew he could live doing this. Either way, he had signed up for the academy two years ago. He hadn't hesitated then, he wasn't going to hesitate now. After all, why should he? True, he did have his mother to care about and now his new-found love, Nad...though that hadn't stopped him before...it wouldn't now. Arcan knew the danger he put himself in everyday when he went to work, like the time a convict had opened fire in the station. Arcan could handle taking down a cartel, couldn't he? Sure, he didn't have much experience with taking down gang members and cartels...though he knew how to handle a gun effectively and how to kill. That would be all that Arcan would need to know for the coming operation. Though, he still did remain apprehensive deep down.

Noah nodded his head at the warning for the flamethrower, while Noah probably wouldn't be utilizing it even with that reason withstanding because he didn't want to cause any unnecessary property damage as it was. Picking up one of his pistols Noah inspected it, racking the slide to make a round was chambered before holstering it in a holster magnetically attached to his chest plate. Picking up his other pistol Noah inspected it as well before holstering it in an identical holster on the small of his back. Checking his knives as well Noah sheathed one of them on his left shoulder pauldron and the other on the right side of his right shin guard. Finally his blade came last, this weapon Noah inspected it a lot more thoroughly due to the importance the weapon held within his family being a status and honor symbol among the Coreks. Finally deciding the weapon was perfect he sheathed it right above the pistol on his lower back. Looking up at his question Noah began to nod his head again, it was a legitimate question and a good one.

"Well the Omega Pyre has long since been a supported of cleaning up crime and things of that nature. The Alliance is the same and knowing this they decided to send a message by hiring us. Telling the cartels that they'll no longer stand for the things they've been doing."
