Mmmmmmmmmzmmmm..

An inconspicuous VCX-100 Light Freighter bobbed along the Corellian Trade Spine, following the traffic along the hyperlane. Within, a team of Kosa Nostra 'Shipmen' manned the entirety of the ship, containing precious cargo; a Directorate Supervisor and one of Kosa Nostra's trusted associates, a contractor who

specialises in quiet operations, Kruhlaish .

Their target? An AA-9 Freighter-Liner named 'Soturn,' owned and operated by Zygerrian slave-traders, of which freeing the slaves were their objective, though how their operator went about it was his business entirely. The boss, Marcella Fiora held a personal vendetta against the traders, an eye for an eye for the pain their people caused her right-hand woman, Mairéad Solus . Thus the contract was of great importance to the underboss.

Leaning on the central holoprojector, Iliana called for for associate, "Mr. Kruhlaish, come see me at your earliest convenience," she called through the intercom. Upon his arrival, she'd offer a polite smile before she began her briefing, "short journeys leave such little time for socialisation, I trust this contract will make up for that," grinned the supervisor.

Bringing up a hologram of the freighter-liner, her eyes met the mask of the illusive contractor, "Your objective, as I'm sure you gathered from the contract board, is to free all slaves aboard the 'Soturn,' of which we are currently approaching as we speak. It is your choice how you choose to go about it, equipment is available if necessary~ it's all available in the armoury, you should expect an incredible amount of resistance, though I'll be requiring your assistance in gaining access to the ships security systems."

The Supervisor zoomed in on the freighter, also bringing up a display of the VCX Auxiliary Fighter on the holoprojector, "you'll infiltrate with the ship's shuttle piloted by one of our Shipmen once we pull the freighter out of hyperspace by imitating a Galactic Alliance patrol frequency, you'll then ride through the ships powerful ion trail to mask your signature before quietly boarding via the rear of the ship,"

"Once you're in, it's all on you- the shuttle will remain at the infil point to cover your exfil if necessary and I'll be able to assist you once you've sorted my security access," she took a deep breath, considering what to say next to best prepare the contractor, "the Zygerrians aren't kind folk, and they're truly professionals in their despicable trade, please look after yourself in there, there'll be lots of them.."

With that, the briefing was concluded and the operation would begin once Kruhlaish gave the word, from this moment on the contractor was in-charge; "Any questions? This is now your operation."

[Kruhlaish]

He was sharpening his blades and making sure he was well stocked when he chose this assignment it seemed like a proper contract for someone of his skill and caliber, he heard the call from the comm's as his Amphistaff coiled around his arm and remained dormant as he put on his mask and made his way up to meet the supervisor who was the handler for this operation and information he will need to increase the chances of this mission.

He merely gave a nod when she mentioned the contract make up for the short journey, he wasn't much for socializing to begin with he drew his gaze to the hologram of the target vehicle he made sure to memorize what he saw he may need to get a more detailed layout once he makes his way on board, the objective was simple free the slaves aboard the Soturn how he did it was up to him once he made his way aboard. Ideas already where forming in his head of how to handle the Soturns crew and there cargo, he also turned his gaze to the Auxiliary fighter his method of entry small but efficient for the first phase of this mission.

He nodded when she mentioned the armory is open to him, he will visit it to arm himself accordingly with what he thinks he may need for the journey after the debrief once she mentioned there would be a considerable amount of Zygerrians it did not bother him, infact it was the opposite he saw the challenge to be pleasing but he will not let his thirst for a challenge blind him from the job at hand.

When she was finished and asked him if he had further questions his voice deep yet understandable it had a small accent(think honestly Light russian im terrible at accents.)

The slavers are the only priority yes? the slavers lives are mine to choose with if the opportunity presents itself?

His question was simple, efficient~ much like she expected his methodology in the art of death to be like. "No, the slaves are just as much as a priority as the slavers, though it is entirely your prerogative what you do with the slavers, we'll then work on a drop-off plan for the onboard slaves."

Via the ships intercom, a chime came through along with a flashing green light, "they're ready, shuttle leaves in five- make sure you're ready," she turned off the holoprojector and started walking towards the cockpit, "I'll ensure our distraction goes.. smoothly."

While the Vong armed himself and entered the shuttle, the rumblings of the ship leaving hyperspace could be felt~ the ship had shot an emergency beacon transponder into space broadcasting a twi'lek ship in distress, an ideal lure for such vile traders as the Zygerrians.

With the transponder dropped and the 'Soturn' en-route, Kruhlaish's shuttle was dropped way behind the entry point of the freigher-liner, allowing the shuttles signature to hide behind it's hypermatter emissions and eventually it's ion trail from it's engines.

THUD.

On cue, the ship arrived~ barrelling towards the transponder and giving the shuttle an incredibly limited amount of time to reach the freighter before it continued its journey; And that it did, the engines fired up and pursued the freighter along it's ion trail, eventually catching up and latching onto the rear of the ship below the engines.

Once attached, one of Kosa Nostra's shipmen would take out a plasma cutter to begin carving a small hole in the ships hull through the shuttle's port, and soon enough the ship re-entered hyperspace moments after the entry point was carved and pressure was equalized, securing the shuttles position.

<"Mr. Kruhlaish?"> Iliana appeared through his earpiece, <"we're right behind you, once you've retrieved the access code for the security systems, I'll be able to find schematics."> With the shuttle attached, entry point sorted and with Iliana tailing the freighter through hyperspace, Kruhlaish's mission finally began..

Upon entry, Kruhlaish would find himself in one of the freighters' supply hangars, empty, dark and filled with boxes of assorted equipment and goods. Chatter could be heard from outside the hangar doors, most likely two Zygerrian slavers joking around in the corridor, out of sight of their supervisors.

He nodded before he heard the chime and the light indicating that they were ready, he quickly paid a visit to the armory getting a few weapons that being one of the FDS-AP Blaster pistol and theScattergun Magrifle to add to his vong arsenal, he quickly made his way to the shuttle as it made its departure towards the ship itself, as he waited for the shuttle to latch on he quickly made sure all his gear was locked and loaded as he made his way over to the port and waited as the shipmen went to work cutting through.

He quickly yet quietly made his way into the hole he quickly ducked behind some of the boxes, his biots in his eyes acting like a natural nightvision for him to see in the dark easily as he listened to every sense he had as he moved around memorizing the area as he crawled around, he was heard chatter outside the door, he needed to not only leave the room but get their attention, he had an idea perhaps a method to lure them in it but it would be a wild hope that it would work as intended if not he will need to improvise.

He looked around at some of the crates, the Amphistaff around his arm uncoiled and started slithering to remain in the shadows yet near the door as he went over to one of the crates and purposely tipped one over before he quickly hide himself, his hope was that the noise would be loud enough to get there attention and have them come in so he could have a chat with them.

"Oh-ho-ho, you should've heard the screams! Did you see the nau-" a noise interrupted the Zygerrian slaver mid-sentence,

prompting the pair to snap around towards the noise: "What was that?!" "Not a clue, probably a young'un slipped through the gate, grab your stick."

One of the traders made his way towards the door while the other went to retrieve his electric stick, ensuring at they both enter at the same time to try and catch the 'escaped prisoner,' eventually they found a tipped box on the floor, spilling rations everywhere.

"We know you're in here!" one called out softly, "Are you lost? We can find your fa-"

He waited until they were further in wanting to make sure once he strikes they wont have time to get out into the hall, the Amphistaff, blending in with the darkness quietly slithered close to them as he moved around until he was close as he can get before he threw a Thud bug at the first guard's head to knock him out quickly as the Amphistaff wrapped around the guard with the stick's legs to trip him.

Once it happened he quickly made his way over to the stick guard to quickly disarm him and his friend, before grabbing them both and dragging them off to the side again, He had the Amphistaff coil around the unconcious guard to keep an eye on em incase he wakes up before he unsheathes one of his arm blades and aims it at the Zyggerian he kept concious's neck, when he spoke it was still that deep tone as he held the Zyggerrian.


Answer my questions correctly and you may survive to fight another day, call for help and this blade goes into your neck.

I want to know where the slaves are and the nearest security terminal.


He kept the blade at his neck with one hand and the other around the Zyggerians neck to hold him as the amphistaff kept vigilance on the unconcious friend of his.

One unconscious and the other within the firm grasp of the silent assassin, one squirmed out of terror knowing that he was too far

for anyone to hear him, "Wh- where the slaves are?! They're everywhere, spread out!" he pointed through the doors, as if to indicate to follow the corridor- directions from a weak-willed man.

"Oh no, please don't kill me! Please!" he nearly screamed, looking at his friend who just moments ago he was having a rather pleasant time with. After a few moments, Iliana chimed in, "Mr. Kruhlaish, I don't suppose you could ask whether he could grant you access to the ships security systems? I may be able collate a layout of the whole ship."

Kruhlaish

 

[Kruhlaish]

He was mildly disappointed but not really surprised at how quick the slaver crumbled, he hoped for some amusement but he had a job and a task to do, when he heard miss Iliana Röhr 's words in his ear he maintained his grip on the guard before speaking again.

Do you have the means for me to gain access to this ships security systems?

He let his blade gently scratch across his neck for a moment as to reaffirm a point.

Nothing but the truth from you.

While this was on going he was keeping his senses on high alert incase of more guards as well as keep his staff's eyes on the unconcious guard, normally the guard would have been dealt with by now but he may hold information he needs incase this one fails.

They were new to this. Young Zygerrian's looking for some extra credits, most likely looking to make their families proud while they gained experience before joining their family businesses. "Okay! Okay..! There's a port in the corridor, we're only helping hands so we don't have access to the systems, but you might be able to slice it!"

"I've told you everything I know! Please let us go!"

Kruhlaish

 

[Kruhlaish]

He listened to what was said, he was partially amused by the bad luck of this new recruit, he made sure Iliana Röhr heard everything after he was done speaking and was satisfied with the information he retracted his blade giving the slaver a momentary hope that he was going to indeed let them go.

Then I release you.. from this life.

He quickly grabbed the Zyggerian's neck and broke it in one swoop before he did like wise to the guard that the staff was watching over, no loose ends or having to worry about 2 slavers running free with knowledge that he is here to warn the rest of the ship, he hide the bodies in one of the crates and took there comm's device with the hope of being able to listen in on its frequency, the staff leaped up to his arm and quickly recoiled itself around his arm as he made his way out to the corridor. He quickly scanned both sides to make sure it was clear before proceeding, he deployed 2 spy bugs one to perch itself to the ceiling of each side of the corridor to keep an eye out and alert him of patrols before he went to the security terminal.

Now comes to the fun part...slicing..which he did not have experience in, begrudgingly he informed Iliana of this issue.

I have found the terminel...unfortunetly i am not skilled in slicing, I would require guidance.

'Think'
​

"No!-" both Zygerrian's slipped away quietly, never to be heard of or remembered again. Silence consumed the depths of the starship as nobody visited the furthest points of the ship~ though it was imperative that Kruhlaish made a swift job of the contract as the crew would soon start looking for the two Zygerrians.

"There was a black case on the table from the armoury, I presume you picked it up?-" if he didn't, the process was about to become much more complicated, "Inside, there's an electronic lockpicking kit~ a slicer's kit, stick the pointy end into the circular port," she spoke softly through his headset.

"Once in, press the top button twice, and then hold the middle button for a few seconds- it should make a hushed beeping noise." she paused for a moment to allow him to do so, "next, insert the chip into the slot that's just opened up- that'll give me access.. if that doesn't work then search the two Zygerrian's for a code-cylinder of some kind.."

Once she was in, she could be heard tapping away at her desk as if studying the information she'd just received; "Seventeen decks, you're on deck sixteen~ security logs say the prisoners are spread out between decks three and seven, bridge is on deck two at the front and most of the Zygerrian's will reside throughout deck one- the accommodation deck.."

"Now, follow the corridor down, take a right and cut through room 17-G, take a left and a turbolift should be on your right~ or, if you're feeling adventurous, the vents will take you anywhere within the ship.. if you can fit.."

Kruhlaish

 

[Kruhlaish]

As he made his way over to the terminal he brought out the black case, he wasn't sure what was in it only that he might need it and turns out...he needed it as he opened it up and put in the kit where he was instructed to go, once in he pressed the top button twice and held the middle button until it made the beeping sound, Such a wierd piece of technology but useful as he kept on alert and recalled his spy bugs as she instructed where he needs to go and what he needs to do. He was pondering what to do and where would work the best ...when he heard where the crew mainly would be and then there's the bridge an idea formed, While he had to save the prisoners taking the ship would be a bonus and can better deal with the Zyggerians if there own ship turned against them.


He checked the vents for a moment and checked if he could fit in it, it would be more mobile and concealed if he could hide in the vent and move then, fortunately he was skinny enough to barely have a comfortable fit but he could move around as he made his way through the vents he was making his way to the Bridge deck... was the best place to monitor the whole ship and he will let his handler be aware of his movements so she can also plan accordingly.

Moving to the Bridge, if I can take the bridge I can better control the ship and the crews movements.

'Think'
​

While her contractor 'slithered' through the ventilation systems of the ship, Iliana tapped into bridge's security cameras, "Copy.. there's only three of them in the bridge.. but many more in the corridor leading in- you're going to be bottlenecked if you need to get out."

However, the three in the bridge were spread out- the ventilator shaft would drop the contractor right into the middle of the bridge and he would be surrounded on all three sides if they heard him; The door would be an issue too should he leave it unlocked as the other half of the crew would storm the bridge almost immediately.

Kruhlaish

 

[Kruhlaish]

He took note of the situation, this would be a problem and who knows what will happen to the slavers once the crew outside the bridge was alerted, He took took out one of his spy bugs and had it slip through the vent grate and crawl around the ceiling to get a good view of the bridge and positions of the 3 in the bridge see if it was possible for the thud launcher to reach all three from his position as it was a silent weapon so the noise shouldn't alert anyone outside the room.

He quietly and slowly would get the thud launcher at the ready so he can get to work once the spy bug is done with its report as the bug climbed around scanning the area and sending the visuals to the Biots in his brain.
