Convoy Raid

[Maizono]

"Listen here. I've already done a lot to allow you aboard my vessel. If you have something to say, spit it out, right now and right here. Otherwise you can leave" Maizono was getting increasingly frustrated. She and her ship were but an escort. High Command wouldn't take to kindly to her wasting time with a small and insignificant pilot and his stranded freighter whilst on an important cargo run.

A storm trooper in charge of cleaning duty responded to Kami's call,"Uhh...yeah sure...?" The trooper was lying back against his chair when he got the call. It was a bit out of the blue.

"Hey 4-3. Someone just called in saying...uh...she...finished up with latrine duty", the first trooper said.

"Yeah so?", the second trooper replied.

"Nobody says that"

"Oh! Imagine if it was an impostor or something!?"

"What are the chances?"

The troopers went back to their duties, ignoring the strange call.

The Fathom navigated through hyperspace at light speeds. Traveling at nearly three hundred million meters per second made most problems sink into obscurity, or at least for those who did not go aboard starships all too often. Grand Admiral William Kerkov did not still pertain this serenity, he had spent to many decades serving across the galaxy in naval ships to find peace in this. He was not looking forward to exiting light speed, at the other end he was due for a conference by the First Imperial Navy that demanded he be present in person, to prevent slicers getting a hold of any intel spoken at sed conference. With such a short time to arrive, and his flagship and most of his fleet needed elsewhere, he had to assemble a small squadron of a Coercer-class Star Destroyer, escorted by two Dagger-class Escort Frigates from his own Sector Group Iron Fist to accommodate him on his journey.

The flag officer had been spending time in the war room of the large ship deciding on contingency strategies for defending the First Order's border form any foreign attack when a young JO interrupted him, "Grand Admiral Kerkov, your presence is required on the deck, immediately." The officer saluted the GADM and returned form whence he came. Kerkov closed his eyes for a second, he was fairly exhausted, his weary gaze had been staring at this holomap for hours now, and the transfer aboard the ship had taken such a long time, that it had been over twenty four hours earlier since he had slept.

Quickly he made his way to the bridge, the complement saluting his entry, although too tired to return the salute he requested, "Captain Charlaon, status report." The naval captain turned abruptly towards his commanding officer and spoke briskly with no emotion, "Sir, communications has retrieved a distress call from the Unrelenting. It's mission was to escort precious Stygium crystals to First Order space, around an hour ago it exited hyperspace with an unidentified vessel being present. The message describes a boarding party with heavy weaponry, numbers unconfirmed." The Grand Admiral was quick to reply, "Who is in command of this vessel?" The captain looked back at the report by the Intel officer on the Unrelenting, "A Lieutenant Maizono, sir." The flag officer stood expressionless for a few moments, "A..Lieutenant?" Charlaon nodded.

Kerkov sighed as he set his right hand covering his eyes, this was unbelievable. Not only is this very important shipment under piracy, but the commanding officer was under experienced, "Prepare to exit light speed at their coordinates, helmsman, arrival time?" The senior enlisted sailor barked out a response, "We will enter the secotr at fourteen-fifty-three galactic standard time." The Grand Admiral paced towards the trapezoid transparisteel windows of the Fathom, an iconic feature of any Imperial ship, he thought, This affair will be clean and quick, no room for further complications.

"Mm, very well then. I am after Stygium crystals. And I was wondering if you would give me some." Did he really expect she might consider it and accept a bribe? Not really. Anyone in Imperial groups are often painfully loyal. But he a plan from here. He kept his face blank at [member="Kami Meran"] 's message. "And, I am quite sure you think me insignificant, but I assure you I am not, and may serve some future use too you."

Using her stealth tech she snuck from the ship and in to a small storage cupbord.
She sat cross legged and streached she needed to het to the Armory.
But first she needed things to go south.
she was more a killer than a spy. ans in an all white ship a black and purple Mando was like a bright beacon
she was more suited at night.

Maizono suspected as much from Adson. It was pretty obvious that he was after the crystals, but how could he possibly be so foolish to attempt to steal them from a fleet as powerful as this? He had a plan going. She was sure of it.

"These crystals do not belong to you, and so you won't be getting any"

Maizono turned her back to him and began to speak with one of the officers. The officer hurried off rather quickly, and so Maizono turned back to Adson,"I disagree. You are of no use to me, or the First Order. It is abundantly clear you came here to steal these crystals and were willing to take it by force, hence the amount of weaponry in your ship. This will not be tolerated"

As she finished, two stormtroopers behind him grabbed him and bound him with energy cuffs,"Send him to the brig" And so the troopers marched off to throw him in one of the cruiser's prison cells.

The officer that had previously hurried off went to secure the docked freighter. The ship was now at high alert, as Lieutenant Maizono had informed them of a possible stowaway on board. Every third blast door had check points where an officer would check passing troopers' IFF tags. The freighter was ransacked, locked down and guarded by a small squadron of troopers.

Maizono returned to the front of the bridge, just as her navigation officer alerted her to a new situation,"Ma'am, detecting an additional contact coming out of hyperspace. It appears to be quite large"

She grew a bit concerned, but kept her face straight,"Friend or foe?"

"It's still a few million kilometers to far. I can't identify it yet"

The ship coming out of hyperspace could be an enemy ship allied with Adson, which was her first thought, but it might be an ally replying to the distress call she gave out. Just in case it was an enemy, she instructed the gunnery officers to bring the turbolasers online and get them charged.

The thirteen minutes passed by without notice. The small squadron prepared for the exit of hyperspace lane. Dozens of stormtroopers were rushing from the passage ways of the Fathom into the hangar bay. Many had already been lined up and were filing into the shuttles. The Grand Admiral walked out onto hangar bay. The almost hundreds of personnel saluted and returned to their work. The shuttle mechanics were ensuring the shuttles were completely fueled and any malfunctions fixed. Stormtrooper NCOs could be heard barking orders to their respective units. The Grand Admiral himself was flanked by two lines of four stormtroopers, so highly disciplined they moved in unison, hitting their marks each within a degree of each other.

Within minutes of the three vessels exiting hyperspace Kerkov boarded his own shuttle, it's pilots already boarded and a few officers and stormtroopers behind the Grand Admiral. His squadron dwarfed the Unrelenting and it's transports. His shuttle was the first to leave followed by two escorting shuttles each filled to the brim with troopers ready to assure their dominance over this boarding party. Before Kerkov and his complement reached the hangar of the Unrelenting, the Fathom transmitted the message, "Prepare for arrival of Grand Admiral Kerkov of the First Imperial Navy."

Adson allowed himself to be escorted. But not far. He suddenly pivoted on his left foot, and swung his right leg around. It grabbed the trooper on his right, all a way around to wipe out the trooper on his left. He then slammed his boot into each neck to make sure they were out. They didn't seem to have a key for the cuffs, so he took one of their blasters, and blasted the connection. They would probably search his ship, but they wouldn't find much, not that there wasn't much aboard.
Adson, still armed, quickly made his way to a computer terminal. Two stormtroopers were guarding it. Adson shot both in the neck before they knew what happened. Making sure the door was locked behind him, Adson got to work. Getting through all of the security codes was a breeze for him. He quickly had access to the controls on the ship. The hangar doors started sealing, the bridge was sealed, any automatic weaponry went active and began tracking. Lights went out. Time to move.
Adson hit a combination on his wrist link. His ship rapidly tore out of its hangar just before it sealed and leaped into hyperspace to a predetermined destination.
Adson grinned. He wondered what the First Order officer would think now. The door opened to two stormtroopers. Adson punched both of them in the face with the power of a hydraulic crusher. They both went limp, with hairline cracks in their helmets.

Several First Order warships came out of hyperspace, and one of them launched a shuttle intent on landing in the Unrelenting's hanger. Bit problem. Unrelenting's hanger was tiny and pretty cramped, however the docked freighter did somehow manage to leave and escape, oddly enough. Maizono ordered the ship to be destroyed, but there wasn't enough time for the turbolasers to home in on the target, so she was left pretty disappointed.

"Prepare for arrival of Grand Admiral Kerkov of the First Imperial Navy."

"This is the captain of the Unrelenting, acknowledged. Clearance will be granted once we have cleared space in our hanger" Maizono responded. She turned to one of the officers and ordered him to temporary launch Unrelenting's scout fighters, who were currently sitting in the ship's minuscule hanger. She really needed to organize another refit for this old vessel.

"You are cleared for docking"

Maizono hurried down to the hanger to meet the Grand Admiral. What were the chances that he was the one to pick up the distress call. It was going to be embarrassing to explain that a lowly space pirate got loose on her ship and so far her troopers couldn't do anything about it, except for give chase. Indeed, Maizono simply ordered two more squadrons to go after Adson, not to capture but to kill. It wouldn't be long until they found him and shot him, as he was being tracked.

at speed anaki saw the world differently she held her breath every thing was slow. troopers reacted like a non newtonian liquid.
sluggish. she span using her blades slitting the knecks of those she passed barely breaking stride..reaching a corner she braced her boot against the wall and flipped over spinnning in thr air and keeping momentum.
hud put her 50 meters away from. Adson Tracyn'kemir. that'd take a few minuets yo reach him.

 

[Adson Tracyn'kemir]

Adson quickly rushed through the bare halls of the Destroyer. He was able to avoid most of the stormtroopers, but the ones he did run into, he took care of quickly and silently. First thing, he would have to get off this ship. He reached a lift. The doors opened to an Imperial officer. Adson blasted him. He got into the lift, and sent it down.
It was only a matter of time before a search party would come after him, then he would have to deal with more than random stormtroopers. He reached a locker room for the pilots. It was empty. He quickly donned a TIE pilot suit, then used a computer to create a typical profile for himself, as well as standing orders. Shoving on a helmet, he walked towards the hangar. This mission might just be salvaged yet. He called for the TIE pilots to be ready to go.
