Descent

(( [member="Rae Jarrus"] [member="Kyrel Ren"] [member="Aaron Kidd"] [member="Orion Trex"] [member="Summer Sovereign"] ))

[SIZE=14.6667px]Tracking… tracking… Areas of interest located. Prepare for descent.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]Jacobus sighed and leaned back in his captain’s chair. Another job was today, and it should be one of the most lucrative in recent memory. Jacobus was set on a course from an anonymous benefactor to retrieve an old Galactic Empire dataset. It was said to be stored in a very old stormtrooper training facility nearing the southern pole of the planet. Supposedly untouched because of the harsh mountainous terrain, Jacobus figured it was easy pickings. As his hip lowered towards the surface, Jacobus could make out the figure of a barebones outpost, and he steered clear. Military checkpoints were not his forte, no matter how abandoned. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]He pulled his ship into the jagged mountain range and found a spot that looked as if Naalol was opening it’s jaws to clasp down on the world. He swerved his ship into a relatively flat spot, and touched down. With a slight thud, his ship was landed. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.6667px]Welcome to Naalol.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]Jacobus unbuckled himself from the pilot’s chair and enjoyed the view. The planet was hazardous and rough. The light snows that fell gave the jagged rock a slippery look to them, and the little patches of grass and vegetation were all but wiped out by the winter cold. He saw one path towards civilization, and such was through the jagged mountain pass of his preferred landing zone and into a small village down below. Jacobus turned on his heel and sauntered to the back of his ship to gear up.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]First things first, Jacobus donned a larger fur-lined coat over his normal shirt and leather trousers. His climbing boots were tied up extra tight, and he prepped them for snowy, slippery conditions. His trademark pair of goggles were wrapped around the top of his head, ready for use at any time should the need arise. His cortosis weave bow and small quiver of collapsible (and customizable; including rope, stun, drone, camera, and explosive) vibro-arrows were slung around his back. Last but not least, Jacobus grabbed his favorite pair of gloves and his lucky collapsible ice pick to keep holstered on his chest. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]He stepped out of his ship and made his way across the cold rock until he found a suitable place to start climbing. Using his bow, Jacobus launched an arrow as high as he could and clipped the rope to his belt as he began rappelling himself up. Dodging sharp rocks and loose footholds, Jacobus began to process of scaling the formation to find a better vantage point. As he reached the top, he looked around. Much to his dismay, he spotted a few more signs of life than expected. It seems he wasn’t the only one looking for this dataset. Finally, spotting what seemed to be old empire entrance to a bunker, Jacobus began down. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=14.6667px] [/SIZE][SIZE=14.6667px]Descent was always the fun part, and he made his way down quickly and with ease onto the cold, frozen ground below the ragged mountains. He crunched the snow lightly as he made his way to the bunker. As he got closer, however, he heard a few voices, and he ducked behind foliage to hide himself. He crept closer and closer, hoping to get a glimpse at who or whatever was already at the entrance.[/SIZE]
 
Aaron had received a message from a mysterious benefactor... Almost like the holomovies, it told him to go to Naalol to retrieve an old Galactic Empire dataset at an old Stormtrooper training base. Naalol was a dangerous place with rigourous trials to face. The teen would finish slipping on his boots before rising from his cot. He would then begin to strap a climbing harness on over his black long sleeve shirt. Aaron would then clip a bundle of wire to his belt. The Mandolorian then fell to one knee and reached under his cot to pull out a trunk, upon opening it, he would remove a black backpack which contained some rations and water along with a snow jacket He placed it on the cot before going back into the trunk. He would grab a pair of ice picks and toss them on the cot. He would close his grunt and slide it back under his cot before standing up and putting on the black backpack. He would slip the two ice picks into two loops on his belt. He pulled back the flap of his tent and instantly a gust of cold air hit him. He was almost used to it, but at the same time he wasn't. He would make his way to a wall of ice and rock. His boots had stubs on the bottom almost like cleats. He would test the ice wall by shoving his boot into it. He repeated the process a few more times before he deemed it sturdy.

The teen removed the two ice picks and stabbed one of them into the wall. The second pick followed suit and stabbed into the wall. He would pull down on it to make sure it held his weight, and it did. He would then start making his way up the wall, inch by inch. Soon he would find himself climbing over the top. Aaron would look down and see each crack in the ice from the picks. He would turn his attention back to the task at hand...The military base was near...Or so his information said. Nearby voices were heard. He would feel his holster for his blaster, he instantly swore, his holster was empty in his rush to get out of camp, he forgot his blaster. He quickly ran behind a rock. Both ice picks in hand. He would sigh. Some rustling was heard in nearby foliage, Aaron kept a eye on it, but focused most of the attention on the group that was near the entrance of the base.

"Man, here I thought this was going to be easy." He whispered to himself.

The upgraded, black Jedi starfighter came barreling out of hyperspace above Naalol. Orion sighed, preparing to pilot his ship down to the surface. He had been here before, and he wasn't a fan of the planet. Icy, frozen, mountainous. It was a shame that the galaxy seemed to not have a single planet that was of a decent temperature. "Another frozen waste. Just what I wanted."

Orion piloted his ship down to the planet, flying through the clouds and straight into the mountains. There was an old Imperial military base on the planet, and he was interested in investigating it. Someone he did not know had contacted him about it, informing him that it was filled with useful information and weaponry. He figured it could be valuable to him or his allies in the Kathol Outback. Not to mention Orion had a personal vendetta with the Empire and was perfectly content with raiding some of their old bases.

He landed on a cliff, located on the edge of a mountain that was beside the base. He climbed out of his ship, his cloak blowing in the wind. He looked around searching for a decent place to start climbing up. "Ice picks may have been useful." He found a rock that jutted out to grab. He grabbed a hold of it, then used the force to propel himself to the next rock, and the next. He managed to get up to the top, and the difficult part was over. Then he could simply leap off the top, finding a spot about halfway down, and then jump again to the bottom. The base wasn't too far down, and Orion had jumped out of cruisers in the atmosphere and managed to land safely. He would be alright.

Giana had received a message moments before for a mission on Naalol. She had never been here before, so she had no idea what to expect. It didn't take long, but while she waited to hear the beeping indicating that she was emerging from hyperspace, she got herself geared up. She was only in simple pants in a crop top, but she decided it would be best to change. She had done some research and found that it was a little more snowy than other places. She pulled her hair back first and then she changed into another comfortable outfit that worked with her movements, but would still keep her warm from weather conditions. She then hooked her sabers to her belt and placed her blasters in her holsters.

When she heard a beeping noise, she ran to the cockpit and sat in the captain's chair hitting a few buttons and she then emerged from hyperspace. Giana looked at the planet in slight awe. There were defined mountains, but other than that, it was a completely white planet. She then immediately came out of her daydream and landed her ship on the surface. The sound of her boots echoed through the vacant ship's hall as she came to the hatch and opened it, taking in the fresh cold air.

Giana remembered the coordinates she was given and then immediately, he walked over to the mountain and started climbing, using the force to help her. She would have taken the ship, but it could have blown the mission. Though she was hoping to see some action for once.
