"Two up!"
"Three up!
"Four up!"
"Five up!"
"Flash and clear, Flash out!" The squad leader yelled as he tossed a flash bomb through the doorway and into the main hall. After a couple of seconds, it detonated and the fireteam poured in. "Go, go, go!"
Mnenchei Republic corpsmen began to fill the hallway one by one, calling their sectors out clear and taking a head count of all the dead guards and bystanders. After an 'all clear!' the rest of the squad outside poured in as well and the greater whole that was the squad began to move systematically further into the prison. Just around the facility, however, was the other unit. There were about two squads (twenty men) in a Mnenchei LAAT/r heading for an adjacent end to look for a tactical entry point that would cause minimal alert and offer the best protection and line of fire. Meanwhile, in the air circling the A/O were the flight of two private Solace marked Monarchy by IFF and cleared for local operation by Alachei's executive order - any more than two, she decided, could be a risk to collateral and would ultimately be unnecessary force for a vagrant operation like theirs. They flew high above the clouds without a sight or a sound to trace them, where the local populace might not be disturbed should they find the need to either escort a craft down or open fire should it leave the designated "Hot" zone within the outer atmosphere.
"Electrum Spear, holding on standby pattern," the leading craft com relayed. The flight switched to a closed channel.
"These people are fools if they think they can escape. I mean, why go on a suicide mission. Do you think they even know what they're doing?"
"It's unlikely. It isn't the first attempt ever made on a high-security penitentiary. Most are like in kind, criminals and hunters with minimal experience in the matter."
"I suppose you're right. Entering through the front entrance was hardly the best way in. Even if they could succeed, they have to know they'll be traced the moment they leave the facility and shot down in whatever craft they try to leave the planet in."
"Not exactly. If any of them are smart, they will run to ground and disappear within the city, then take a civilian shuttle out. It would make it almost impossible to trace them or use military action. Alright, enough chatter, maintain radio silence until further instructions."
A LAAT/r fllew over the facility, just above the area where most of the criminals were currently and unbeknownst congregated. It's silhouette could be seen through the thick sun roof windows high above the halls, but its distinct, howling hum could definitely be heart from within as it passed. A voice came over through the bullhorns.
"This is the Republic military. Drop your weapons and stand down. We are authorized to use lethal force against you. I repeat, stand down and wait for further instructions. We have all exits and airspace covered."
It was in their best interest to get their little talks over with soon, because a whole platoon was ready to infiltrate from both ends of the hall and the windows above.
All the while, Alachei simply watched... and waited... all from the LAAT/R still parked and on hot standby just outside the main entrance. If corpsmen - her corpsmen - started falling, nobody in there would be very happy to see her or attract her personal attention. The would be much death to follow, as none were as high in experience from the looks of it - even the NFU's didn't seem to operate with any particular pattern, indicating that it was not an organized assault.
