Flash in the Pan (Mandalorian Crusader Beskar gathering) (PM to join)

[Miss Blonde]

Echoy'lya was the home of the Mandalorian Crusaders, a place that Miss Blonde was quite familiar with. It was a small little moon but it contained the extraordinarily rare metal known as Beskar, while not enough to create mass amounts of products it was still enough for the more nefarious groups of the criminal underworld to create small little flash operations where they'd fly under the radar, collect small amounts of beskar, and then bonk out before being picked up by authorities. With the grip on the material that the mandos had, any small amount you could gather was still a fortune.

And while most Mandos did their best to mop up these sorts of operations a few always slipped through the cracks. But thankfully for them they had a safety net, someone who could think like the average criminal because she lived in that world. Miss Blonde the Mandalorian friendly crime lord was on the prowl today with her good friend [member="Break"] an older droid who was in need of some new armor.

With their ship loaded up, Miss Blonde piloted the shuttle towards one of these flash and grab operations. With engines at a low they drifted through the atmosphereless moon in hopes to get the drop on the group of smugglers they had to remove to retrieve the beskar.

"Alright, Break. Job is simple. We hit the target area, kill anyone who doesn't surrender. Get the Beskar, go back to my workshop, and make some new armor for you and Keira." She said as she began to slowly descend the shuttle.

 

[Ruby Senri]

Ruby had stumbled upon another mission with his... what do you call it? Not slave master. Not master. Um... it doesn't matter right now, he sat in the back of [member="Miss Blonde"]'s ship. There was also an older droid with them. Ruby didn't know it's name or who it was.

They started to slowly descend as Miss Blonde told the droid the plan, with Ruby listening in, he readied his weapons. Ruby had trained his blaster skills in the off time and now didn't completely suck with them. So he got his blaster ready too.

"alright here we go!" Ruby grinned as he got up from where he was sitting. They were trying to get Beskar for the droid. That's all Ruby knew about the droid. So he hoped it would help in the mission.

Dashka checked her prosthetic she preferred her own jobs but it payed to make allies and owed dept that were owed to her of coarse.
" this Beska refined? " she asked [member="Miss Blonde"] honestly interested as she had a Mandalorian who she wanted to fit her arm with a lair of the metal.
her arm was charged as was her blaster and her side arm.
" honestly if you want to hit some ware for Nutorium id be intrested." she said looking over to [member="Ruby Senri"]
" You ready kid?"

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

The AT-120 came flying through the space. The assassin, sitting in the hangar bay was preparing himself with weapons, ranged or melee. He couldve ordered a group of his men to make this mission but it wasnt worth the bother. He was in the need of action, and it was better for him to know that this wouldnt be screw up by some mercenary "If i can obtain some beskar for myself during the mission..." thought while the company he created long time ago was growing but that didnt mean anything if Acaleus didnt had any material to produce one of the fine weapons "Venus?" "Scanning the area, got missile ready and your parachute is on the chair" "Roger that, i may need some air assistance"

Ruby looked over at [member="Dashka Soon"], "course!" Ruby had a bit of cockiness in his voice. Ruby looked over at [member="Acaleus Thorn"] and thought 'wow... two people I didn't know were a part of the team.' Ruby got closer to the door, getting even more and more excited until he reminded himself not to let his childish self out.

All of her systems.. she had systems.. it was something you got used to after a while.
how long was it? how long was she more metal than flesh? it was almost depressing. still she was used to this it was like a medetation tightening bolts checking limbs and her hart ect.
now her side weapons..
" I'm ready lets do this." she said calmly. " i have a need for a small amount of this metal. "

 

[Break]

[member="Miss Blonde"] had been a most trustworthy friend for the short time that Break had known her. From missions long before he was an assassin the 2 had been paired together and done well. He checked his systems and armor one last time as autopilot engaged.
The fact something so precious was up for grabs that was worth the small risk. Break was good at sneaking and better at killing. This job was perfect for him. Break smiled as his own ship started it's descent shortly after [member="Miss Blonde"].

"Sounds easy enough let's hope we get through this without bloodshed if we can."

[Miss Blonde]

With everything set and in motion the woman and her hired band of men were ready to begin the operation. With her gas mask sealing her face and providing oxygen, her suit vacuum sealed and now she was ready to step into the void that was this moon. Her ship touched down a good kilometer from the target behind a large rock formation to conceal the vehicle's presence. The thing about these flash operations was that there was always someone ready to grab the loot and crank your crew into hyper space before anyone knew what was what, so intercepting them made it difficult. That's was why this was not a one woman job.

With her ramp lowering itself down to the ground the woman stepped out into the airless void and grabbed her handy dandy pistol only to quickly holster it. Latching on to one more important piece of equipment the woman took a long range blaster variant sniper and would start the climb up the rock formation.

Once at the top she found a nice little nook and focused her sniper into the illegal dig site a good thousand meters away. From the first sweep of things they were looking at seven armed guards, five miners, and parked next to their site was a modified YT-1300 that looked like it could haul ass pretty quickly.

"We've got seven guards rocking Blaster rifles, five miners, aaaaand." Blonde paused as she watched someone else descend from the ramp of their ship, a rather big and heavily armed and armored mercenary.

"One professional." She said as she watched over the target area.

"I want the miners alive if possible. Someone get on that ship and disable it or remove the driver from the picture. I want this handled quickly, cleanly, and most important quietly. When you're in position mobilize at once and start the show." Blonde gave very specific instructions she would prefer not to collect fingers for the failures of others.

"Ship? ships are my specialty. that will be my job i suppose. consider it done yesterday." Dashka answered clipping her blaster to her belt.
" i'll keep the seats warm. disable ant on-board security. "
That was easy enough.
" Lets do this quietly and cleanly i hope to do more business in the future. "

Ruby listened closely to the conversation as they found a good spot. "I'll take on the guards I guess" Ruby said, twirling his un-activated saber around in his hands "and I'll probably have time to take on the mercenary." Ruby got up closer. Ruby was already trying to evaluate any weaknesses on the professional. "ready when you guys are..." Ruby sighed, this mission will be easy, the only tough part'll be that mercenary but if they all gang up on it then it's pretty much dead.

 

[Acaleus Thorn]

"I can handle the guards without someone turning the alarm on" responded standing and walking out the hangar "Venus, need a map of the area" "Currently downloading it on your arm computer" it showed the image of a dozen of red dots, the enemies, the ship and some crates that look big enough for hide himself from the vision of the guards. He put on his hood and crawled until he reach the first crate without anyone to notice. The next round of security was passing beside him, with radios and blaster weapons

"Engaging" Acaleus simply took them out with his knife. He wouldve used his lightsaber, but its light would be seen in a hundred meters.

After hidding the bodies, Acaleus took out his radio from his belt "Hey, got you an entrance. Keep your head low" whispered while cleaning the blood from his knife "Ruby right? I left a sniper on the hangar. Take it or not, but help me clear the path"

[Break]

Break watched as this small ragtag team quickly planned their entrance and picked their battles with precision. At the moment showing up the 3 didn't see like fun, so Break watched from a safe distance scanning for any unexpected enemies.

"If you need slay the miners, do what you have to I've brought mining droids to take their place just in case."

Break had brought 10 mining droids to speed up the process and load the ships even faster.

Taking aim at the mercenary he would comm link to [member="Ruby Senri"]
"If things get hairy just know you have overwatch. Proceed at your own discretion.
[member="Acaleus Thorn"] [member="Miss Blonde"]

 

[Miss Blonde]

With Break also providing overwatch for the team down bellow it was safe to say that they were relatively covered and they could handle themselves. But it was still best to help out those down bellow and pick off a few before they knew what was what. So as Break positioned himself near her and spoke she had to admire how prepared he was for everything, and while the prospect of more beskar sounded good the woman wasn't trying to be greedy with her friends here in Mandalorian space. There wasn't exactly an abundance of the metal here on the strip mined moon.

"That won't be necessary, but thank you anyways. I'll take the three on the right, you pick off the rest assassin boy hasn't." Blonde said as she focused in with her sniper.

Leveling her crosshairs on one of the armed guards patrolling the perimeter the sniper sparked with a bright blaster bolt exploding from its barrel flying through the airless vacuum to strike a guard and pass through them, killing them instantly. With his death they started to realize that it was time to go, which meant secure the beskar, give cover fire, and get into the ship.

"Clip the leader in the head, I'm going to cover the ramp. Someone disable that ship before the pilot decides to dip with whatever they have loaded up." Blonde commanded whilst moving her crosshairs towards the ship's loading ramp.

Firing off another shot she struck someone in the chest as they attempted to board the ship, then surprise surprise another attempted to board and they received another blaster bolt to their head. So now the men had a pretty good idea that they weren't going anywhere until the sniper was dealt with.

So aiming towards where the shots were coming from the remaining guards and mercenary started to fire on the rock formation while the miners took cover behind crates or in the hole they collectively dug.

with a speed only a machine could accomplish Dashka charged the YT1300 the guard had no chance as she brought a orange lightsaber drown in too his neck.
activating her eye she scanned to search for security.
chuckling she commed.
" Ship secure. relatively speaking. there is zero security here."

[Ruby Senri]

Ruby waited until [member="Acaleus Thorn"] gave him the okay to move in. But when he was about to move in they already took out the seven guards. "ah damn it, what the hell?" Ruby slid down and sneaked over to Acaleus. Then over the comm he said, "aw... no meat for me." in a sarcastic tone, "we should all team up on the mercenary, it'll be hard for it to deal with all of us... but then again it would be un-organized and he could easily- nevermind. Don't listen to me" Ruby said yet again over the comm. They only had the mercenary left, who seemed to already be catching on with their plan.

[Break]

Break stopped, locked his robotic joints into place, and shot a bolt of white hot plasma towards the mercenary. With his sights at an exposed neckline, major damage was to ensue. The plasma left the arm canon in a flash as it illuminated the area around itself. The mercenary wouldn't have had a chance to react had he not slightly been aware that something was amiss. From the corner of his helmets vision line he saw a flash of burning yellow plasma headed his way. The mercenary who by all accounts was a complete baddass attempted to dodge the hurling ball of death. But narrowly had time to hear it collide with the side of his helmet he could hear the metal cry out as pores in the metal met the Vaccum of space and cooled rapidly.

"Gah!..." the mercenary cried out as he attempted to touch his commlink. But to no avail. His helmet mounted comm had been fried and his attention drawn to his attacker leaving him exposed for a second attack from [member="Ruby Senri"]

[Acaleus Thorn]

Acaleus move towards the mercenary, and in a few second he close the space between them. Acaleus turned his wrist lightsaber and jumped, attempting a double stab to the chest. The mercenary catch both arms in the air. He was taller, stronger and apparently faster than the assassin. He opened his eyes, trying to kick him in the face but he failed, as the mercenary launch him away to some crates a few meters away. The last thing he did before crashing with the boxes was throwing an explosive knife to the left shoulder. It exploded leaving that part exposed.

Acaleus landed and destroyed the box with his back. In his vision, it started to appear stars and was about to fall unconscious, but years of hard and painful training teach him to resist pain "Fire at the shoulder, its his weak spot"

[Miss Blonde]

Watching the help attempt to take down the mercenary, Miss Blonde sighed a little and leveled her crosshairs on the man who had just received a slow but killing blow from the assassin. His suit was breached in the vacuum of space and he'd be losing pretty much all oxygen at this point so the merc had about a good thirty seconds of life before he suffocated and died. And since Miss Blonde wasn't feeling particularly cruel today she took a sharp aim and squeezed the trigger allowing a blaster bolt to force its way through the other end of the merc's helmet and out the other end letting a bit of blood and brains ball up in the vacuum and float through the void.

"All hostiles down. Round up the miners, search the ship for beskar, and strip any left from the dig site they have broken up. I'll be there shortly." Blonde tossed her rifle down towards her ship then jumped off the side of the rock formation to gently float down to the ground.

Once on the ground she began the thousand or so meter walk towards the dig site. She kept a good pace and bounded through the low gravity environment every few steps. She probably should of brought a jetpack but with a quick call had the droid pilot inside her ship grab the controls and head towards the dig site.

While she continued to walk her way over the shuttle she had make its way touched down near the miners ship.

" ship has approximately unknown ammounts on board. unfortunately no manifest to be accurate. i'll try to land closer to the dig site. i'm a sitting Corellian Glider here." Dashka commed looking in the cargo hold. and sighing. the ship was bear bones.

 

[Ruby Senri]

Ruby just sat back and watched them take them out. "good job everyone" Ruby grinned as he got up from his hiding spot. "[member="Acaleus Thorn"] c'mon" Ruby stuck out his hand out for him. Ruby felt good, just as he thought it was an easy mission.
