Location Enigma Prime- Orbit

[member="Sanya Val Lerium"]

Enigma prime. It was a very secluded world, tucked way away in the corner of space. Vassara had heard of its different crystal caves through a combination of networks, despite the planet supposedly being very secretive. Still with the Void Runner and her knack for finding hidden places Sanya and her had come to reside in the skies.

The mission?

There was several mining camps about the place, mobile in nature, which meant mostly undefended. the world proved to be very underdeveloped, still in the colonist stage of things. Vassara intended to snatch some of those crystals for herself, and her partner in crime.

"Alright we're coming in low. Prep your gear and the rappel lines."

Vassara's hand worked the controls furiously as the frigate slid lower into orbit. On board was a team of mercs hired just for this purpose. All weapons were set to stun, unless they attempted lethal force against her, in which case, she would slay them all.

"Same plan, we're going to fly low as we can get over the mine entrance, rappel down via ropes. Steal two crates, tie them off, haul them and us up and disappear." She said typing away still furiously.

"Any questions?"

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

This wasn't the first job Sanya had done with [member="Vassara Raxis"] nor would it be the last. She knew how to get things done and that's how she liked things. The ship flew low and the ramp already lowered. She went over to the box with equipment in pulling out two large cables with clips on to attach them to the frigate's inside and ready to attach them through the links so the crates didn'to get caught.

Sanya turned to face vassara and nodded. "Done, I do have one question though. What resistance are we to expect and with things go south what's our escape plan?" She asked. It would be better if this stuff was out in the open now than later when others would probably panic and make more mistakes.

Vassara rose from her seat joining Sanya in the rear of the frigate. As she asked her question Vassara's deft hands clasped the ropes, and she clipped herself in. This was going to be a lightning fast mission. The point was to get in and out, before folks were alerted to their presence. Vassara's Void Runner had been outfitted with a capitol grade stealth package to slow down scanners from detecting them.

But it would not hold forever.

Shotgun at her back and pistols at her waist Vassara was ready to rock. She glanced sideways at Sanya.

"No plan, just go with it. We should be landing directly outside the entrance. As soon as we're down draw weapons, and hold up the next cart coming out. Then lock the spare cables onto it, and we will winch us and the carts up."

Vassara gave a nod to the nearby merc team, decked out in all black armor with Z-6 Rotary cannons.

"Ready boys!"

"Ready Cap'n."

Vassara turned back and smiled at Sanya.

"Alright, hit the door."

With the rope's set up and the ramp lowered Sanya turned to look at everyone. They we're geared up and had their harnesses on to make the drop on the call although she knew it would be safer for her to go first to make sure it's clear. The ship passed over the target and started to loop around bleeding it's speed to a stand still above. She unclipped her sabers standing at the edge of the ramp. She waited for them to clip onto the lines and ready up. Unfortunately she wasn't aloud to kill unless given the order to do so, which was a shame because she loved to fill her sabers with the souls of those she killed. Putting on the front of her mask she turned the power on to set it's internal com on. "On your mark vassara." She said with her voice now altered to sound deeper and more mechanical.

The ramp opened with a whirr and a hiss. Below several of the miners gasped looking up and pointing. Vassara grinned. These poor fools were simply tradesmen, totally unawares of the rest of the galaxies struggles at large. That being said this planet belonged to the Ravens, but the miners themselves were innocents. Unless they moved to harm her, they would not attack them, simply intimidate.

"Alright, drop on three, two, one mark!"

Vassara stepped backwards off the ramp, hands clamping the rope. Black boots clenched upon the fibers and slowed her descent slightly until she was just a few feet above the ground and she let go, landing in a catlike crouch. The dust and sand whipped around her, flying into her eyes and filling her lungs slightly from the down-draft of the Frigates powerful engines.

With a swift movement she reached back and unsheathed her shotgun, locking a round in with a signature CLICK!

The rest of the mercs were hot on her trail, armored boots pounding into the dust and kicking up their own plumes. weapons were drawn and they stood face to face with the miners, dirty and clad in tunics and simple protective helmets.

"You alright Sanya?" Vassara called over the roaring engines.

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

Sanya jumped on two when vassara started to found down. She hurdled to the ground ignighting the sabers. With a quick tap on the tack pad on her wrist she turned the black and white thermal on. By the looks of things there was four people and taking cover shielding there eyes from all the dirt been kicked up. She reached out with her hand taking care of the two on the right of her by pushing the into the wall either knocking them out or possibly dead. It all depended in how they hit the rock wall. In seconds a thump followed by a click told Sanya the first one down was in fact vassara. She asked the woman if she was okay but her eyes was focused on those in cover. "I'm all good, there's one guard to your left at seven O'clock and the other is in between us at twelve." She didn't know if she had anything to see past the constant dirt cloud, so the best Sanya could do was give rough positions. More thumps could be heard as another two merc's dropped down. One guard in the middle popped up taking a shot at the most obvious target, the one with two glowing sticks that stood out like red on a white wall. The blue shot from his blaster from the sounds of if clearly gave him away and now could be easily marked as a target. All the while Sanya brought her sabers up to intercept the volley of shots reflecting two in a random direction and the last close skimming past his head.

Well so much for peaceful hijacking. The dirt and dust were a slight problem and as Sanya called out the targets the shots rang out. Vassara gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, using the force to reach out through the madness. She could feel the signatures of the miners, and several hostile ones. Yes they intended to harm.

"Frak it." she muttered. She wanted to do this peacefully, but Jedi or no, the young spacer had a temper. Use violence against a Raxis trying to be peaceful, your gonna get the hammer. The civilians were smart, they got out of there, scattering through the mini dust storm for their lives. Vassara was quick to raise her shotgun to her shoulder, pressing the butt into the pocket and let loose!

BOOM
CRACK

Twin blasts of flame rolled from the end of her muzzle as two dragonsbreath shells exploded. The red hot magnesium burned with a vengeance, catching the second guard dead in its path. He caught fire in seconds, fanned by the turbulent winds of the Void runners engines. Flame licked his body, dancing along his frame in crimson pattern.

Vassara grimace, pressing her lip tight. This part was never pretty.

"Move up, stack on the mine doors!"

Bending down she managed to retrieve a fallen key card from the dirt before sprinting to the door. When she got to it she was breathing heavily and collapsed against the left side. The Mercs fanned out around the door.

Next step, wait for it to open, and the hover cart to come out.

Sanya watched the two white bloches fall to the ground as the loud bang of the shotgun fried. With in moments vassara collected something off the ground and hedded straight to the mines door blocking them from there goal. The two merc's stood on the left side of the doorway looking like they was ready to breach. As for Sanya she lifted a crate to the left side with the force to the left side ready to move it through while the woman could take cover behind it and give cover while the stygium crates where moved out. It was hard to tell how many was on the other side of this door, and most likely alerted to their presence from the sound of shots and the ships engines from above. "READY!" she said loudly down the com pics fitted into he mask. Her sabers where disengaged and back on her belt while her focus was on the crate. "That card better work, if not I'm cutting through." She said, it was obvious Sanya wanted to get what she came for. After all she needed them for two special droids and one was for the leader of rendili and her love. The other was for herself as security and a Rep for the Inquisition. The sun was quickly setting and in an hour would be dark. So if the mine was cleared the could probably get more than what they needed and use the darkness to cover their escape, but that was up to the woman in charge. As long as Sanya got her share in the crystals she would be satisfied.

[member="Sanya Val Lerium"]

"I hope so too!" Vassara roared over the din.

She reached into her pocket on her belt and retrieved the card, tapping it against the reader. Their was a whirr and hiss and suddenly...

The door failed to open.

"Frak me." She muttered under her breath. So much for the easy escape too. If the guards on the other side were half as bad as she thought they were, they might have to clear the whole mine. For a second she just stood there and then when she gathered her wits, she pumped the Shotgun again, ejecting a smoking brass shell.

"Alright then Sanya, you're up. Wanna take some or take it all?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

The shotgun leveled out again, pressed into her shoulder and Vassara moved sideways strafing the door. She would be right behind the crazed Master, shotgun ready to spit fire.

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

[member="Vassara Raxis"]

She watched as vassara tried the card and it denied access. Sanya turned the crate to the side and dropped it. "Use this as cover, if their on the other side they will aim for me first and I'm counting on it." She said looking at the woman. She pulled the sabers off her belt once more and ignited them. "I say we take the lot by the time we finish we can get out and less likely to be seen. You might wanna get the pilot to set down till we have it all ready." If the others could see more that her ears pointing out from the top of her mask they would see the smirk of her face. She drove her sabers into the door cutting up and across. A red and orange trail followed from there the metal had melted and cut. As the sabers reached the bottom she reached out with her hands pulling the doors open by force. Soon as the people in side had a clear shot her shield took a few shots before she had chance to react and start deflecting the bolts back inside. while she bounced the shots away that was aimed directly at her she built up energy in her left hand preparing to send a force blast down the shaft. The merc's had started to return fire.

 

[RC 212]

[member="Sanya Val Lerium"]

"Sounds fine to me!"

Vassara ducked behind the crate, allowing Sanya to do her work. As the doors ripped open torrents of fire roared into her waiting sabers. Crimson and emerald bolts bounced to and fro, ricocheting off the shaft. Vassara rose from the crate, letting it take several blasts and then charged the door. The shotgun came up and again flame roared from the barrel as the dragons breath slugs did their work.

BOOM
BOOM

CLICK

The chamber went empty as Vassara raced past Sanya, pressing the element of surprise. She hadn’t any time to reload. With a quick movement she ducked behind a support for the tunnel, and sheathed the shotgun in one fluid motion. Her body began to buzz with the force as she centered herself, drawing energy from the great beyond. For a second or two she paused in the madness, letting it all slip away and serenity took over.

SMACK

A dull grey metallic cylinder, cracked and worn levitated into her palm and Vassara stepped out calm and collected. The lightsaber sprang to life, orange blade igniting with a buzz that echoed like angry bee's about the place. Both of her feet slid slightly apart, shoulder length and she assumed her natural guard position, blade angled for hip to shoulder in her right hand.

"Alright then, since we've no other option, lets do this!"

She charged, an uncharacteristic move of her. The sbaer spun off her right shoulder in a circular arc and crossed her torso, propelled at maximum speed by the force. Crimson bolts sparked and sprang off the sudden flourish, two landing in the head of the lead guard. She had closed the distance rather rapidly. As she plunged into the center of two more guards she swept the blade along its path, orange tracers buzzing as the circular rotations crossed her frame twice again.

Both guards gasped, saber blade slicing clean through their chests. Their torsos slid off their waists, and the bodies crumpled, severed halves falling into the cold earth. Vassara pressed forwards, moving down the tunnel.

"C'mon!"

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

[member="Vassara Raxis"]

Sanya watched as the woman sped past her while she continued to build the energy. She couldn't simply suppress it now nor could she release it the vassara in the way. She moved up trying to deflect as many bolts as possible every now and again one would wizz past her or hit her shield. As she stood by the side of the woman she released a red shockwave of pure force sending a lot of the men flying back and their bodies crushed against the wall. Upon the deaths of the men the blister pods on her sabers filled and released through into Sanya with the soul crystal feeding her more dark energy. It sent a rush through her body making her feel more alert. As some of the other men stood up that had not been caught by her shock wave an orange blade not of her own flew past her cutting them down at an almost instant. Everything went quite for a moment as Sanya walked further in her sabers humming by each little movement. She lot looked to her left at a slender boy probably in his twenties aiming his blaster at her shaking. Gripping the gun and launching it from out his hand she walked over to him. "Now now. Don't be scared. Get up." She said to him as he got to his feet. "I'm not going to hurt you, much." She took the front part of her mask of to show him the smile on her face. "Well what I'm about to do to you . . . is going to hurt a lot." Sanya grabbed him by the shoulders sinking her canine teeth into his neck passing on the croa virus into him. Soon he'd be like her, a sithspawn that could only follow orders. the best part is he would soon be a she and she would be in charge of blowing the place up covering any evidence of there existence here. Of course the croa would lose her own life in the process but might as well make use of her instead of just blatantly killing everyone inside. As she removed her teeth from the persons neck letting their body fall back to the floor everything went silent again. Sanya turned to face vassara once more. "Excuse me doing that it felt some what necisary. Moving on, I can't feel the presence of anyone else so I think that's it. . ." She had a brief pause watching the guy role around moaning from pain. ". . . We should probably start clearing this place out. Lets get as much as we can till either your ship can't carry more or there is nothing left." Sanya quickly made her to collect a container that was full.

Vassara nodded, deactivatng her saber with a single force nudge inside of it. The place was a veritable warzone from Sanya massive blast. The woman certainly had some serious apabilities. The crates were broken mostly but a few hovercarts looked to be incatc. Most of them were damaged, which was not ideal.

Vassara knelt down beside one, examining the repulsor with icy blue eyes.

"Looks like you destroyed half the hover carts. We can get three or four working. Should give us about ten crates of ten crystal hunks. Enough for a few items at least."

Vassara's black gloved hand dipped into her gunbelt satchel, fishing around for a moment. A singular glowstick appeared and she cracked it, bathing the area in a bright red light.

"Alright, grab the crystals and start loading em. I'll start breaking down the totalled carts and refitting the less damged ones."

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

[member="Vassara Raxis"]

As Sanya slid one of the hover crates towards the other mercs she turned to look at the woman. "I'll handle the ones I broke, it's only five crates that are damaged by the looks." She reached out and with her hand lifting the crate slowly walking up. The light outside had dimmed a lot faster than she thought. as Sanya got to where the rope was she tied them to the crate ready to be hauled up. "Okay guys it's secure, take it up." She said as she made her way back in. Looking at the person on the floor rolling about still. The persons body had now taken the feminine look and the ears and claws had now formed too. She drew her attention away lifting up yet another crate, knowing the new croa would soon have ended her transformation. As the other mercs on the ground where tying the crate up ready to be lifted up Sanya left the crate to go fetch another of the broken ones. While she walked in vassara was passing her in the tunnel. "When where in our way to where ever we can try fix those crates. They would probably be useful for you loading of your merchandise." Sanya knew vassara was setting up her business, but Sanya wasn't one to be nosey into other peoples trade. She would provide help if asked and she might invest to help the woman set up better facilities if she so wanted.

For a second she kept staring at the carts. Sanya was already loading the crates, moving them by hand. did they really need these? She contemplated the question for about ten more seconds before raising the glowstick up high and turning back towards the entrance. It would be a decided waste of time to salvage them.

The mission was done, and they needed to get the Frak out of here. Before local garrison forces showed up, or worse Red Ravens.

"On second thought, lets go."

She bent down picking up one side of a durasteel crate filled to the brim with clinking stygium crystals. Her merc picked up the other end and they began to move in unison towards the Void Runner. Minutes later Vassara attached four steel cables to the corners and checked the rigging, before reattaching herself to the harness.

"Alright, rig up, we're getting out of here."

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

[member="Vassara Raxis"]

Sanya had managed to get the last broken crate and taking it up. The boy that is now a girl had completed her transformation. As Sanya passed her she looked at the girl. "Now dear I need you to blow this place up, and as soon as the last explosive is set I will need you to detonate it. you along with it. I'm sorry dear as beautiful as you look we simply have no room for you and you'd only starve. So if you do this you will have purpose." It wasn't like the girl had a choice, she had to do what Sanya said. It was simple genetic coding. The croa started to make her way to the explosives that was in the mine and placing them. As Sanya reached outside she tied the last crate to the ropes before leaping up into the ship calling on the force to help her achieve the height. "So we ready?" She asked vassara. "Also don't worry my little friend down there will take care of our existence. She is going to blow the place. No need to wait she will be going up with the place just to make sure the job gets done"

Vassara shot a strange glance at Sanya. She was a bit bloodthirsty, much to be bloodthirsty in her opinion. even in her darkest moments, she mad sure her opponents had some kind of dignity intact when she killed them. Shrugging the thought off Vassara craned her neck, scanning the side of the Void Runner. The loading chief of the team popped his head out of the hangar bay.

Vassara nodded giving the thumbs up. With one hand she tugged the cables on the crates twice. Both to check integrity of the rig, and a secondary signal. Next was a thumbs up, and she felt the sensation of weightlessness as the cable began to rise, lifting Sanya, Her and the crates towards the Void Runner.

"A bit barbaric don't you think!" Vassara roared over the blasting noise of the engines as they rose...

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

[member="Vassara Raxis"]

Sanya laughed at the comment. "How can it be barbaric if she's willingly doing it." Although that was a slight lie, luckily the transformation was a successful one where the croa had no choice to follow her commands."besides someone had to. Enemy territory and that, we wouldn't want then to know who was here do we?" Everyone was onboard so Sanya took the liberty's of pulling up the ropes and closing the ramp. "We got everything?" She asked in case there was something that was missed. Although she doubted it. They have what was needed. "I'll wait till we are out of the atmosphere till I start on these crates, also how we splitting it?"

Vassara managed to unclip the cables quickly and ran a gloved hand through her windswept hair. She was tired now, all that death had sapped her energy. She could hardly remember the days when she was less willing to kill. Just an innocent spacer girl in a big wide a galaxy. Butt hurt about the Sith Nerfing Alderaan and turning it into a Vong shaped Jurassic park.

"Eh. I figured fifty fifty. What do you say?"

The Void Runner began to ascend with her pilot and new Mercenary companion Grom at the helm.

For a second she had a flashback of Silas, but alas he was long gone.

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

[member="Vassara Raxis"]

Sanya nodded as her tail wrapped around her leg. "Yeah that sounds good to me." She said while sitting down with the other mercs. "Yes they will be put to good use in the droids and some left over for something more for myself. Maybe a new armor, you never know I might request you to craft it for me. Obviously with a few alchemical tweaks from myself." As she spoke Sanya noticed vassara's mind was elsewhere. Her force alignment may be dark side but deep down she was a nice person still. Especially to those she worked with and where close too. "Hey everything okay?"
