Benzir Evacuation Status - 22% (Every ten percent another transport will take off)
Forces in the Jungles:
Mekhisian Vong,
Blackblade Guardsmen,
Ravenscar Adepts
Even as the Jedi and their comrades started to wade into the jungle, encountering some of the wandering patrols and hunter killer teams, and the leftover zombies that the Sith hadn't wiped out, the evacuation of their base continued at a steady pace. The second transport had lifted off with more specimens and recruited Vong, cloaking as it left to avoid detection on its journey back towards the Caldera.
Tallara
Dominik Borra
The Vulptex
The approach of the elite team of SIA and Pathfinders had been shadowed, but as luck would have it for them, the hunter-killer team they encountered had not been alerted and only realized they were under attack when the aerosol grenades went off. For the blue-skinned Near-Human, her first strike had managed to find one of the few weak points in the armor covering the metallic-looking Vong, bringing it down even as it struck out towards her and deflected her follow up attacks as two of its comrades came to its aid, shouting phrases in Vongese, distorted.
For the ninja, she would find that the white-armored Vong paid no heed to the illusion as the Vong didn't care about Force illusions or most any Force powers that might be directed their way. The illusion did draw some of the fire from the emerging Blackblades as the soldiers moved out of the aerosol cloud and into cover to exchange fire. The ninja's high-powered blaster shots to the head would also be found to not be as effective as they may have hoped as much of the head was covered by the strong armor of the altered vonduun crabs. Scorch marks would indicate where they had been hit, and the ninja would certainly have attracted attention now, even as they disappeared into the trees. The ravens were still watching, and the one commanding this particular hunter-killer team was equally at home with nature. The trees would seem to come to life as the branches answered the call of the Sith Adept.
The elite agent would also find one of the weak points of the armor as his maground tore through an armpit and into the chest of a technobeast Vong, eliciting a gout of black oily-like blood and a metallic sounding shout of pain as the Vong was injured. The hip shots would be deflected by the armor the creature, but the agent had attracted its attention and another of its comrades that burst from the treeline, even as Blackblade fired also converged on him.
Elias Edo
Jonyna Si
Upon closer inspection of the technobeast that Elias and his team had masterfully taken down, they would find that it didn't quite match reports from the refugees on what had been stalking the outskirts of their camps. The creature, a Chazrach slave, they felled was only half-transformed, a hybrid of sinew and cybernetics, and they would notice that it had sustained wounds from where the metallic mutations had spread from not within the last half hour.
They would also realize the creature was bait when the blaster fire from the Blackblade guardsmen began ripping through the undergrowth towards them and white-armored figures burst out of the tree line, their war cries of the Vong, but twisted and metallic sounding as their whip-like amphistaves swung through the air to cut and potentially infect the Jedi and their soldiers.
Silas Westgard
Toby Perris
The cave and its zombie inhabitants had been herded by the Sith to act as a both a prison and pen for the undead remains of the Maw occupation. It had been convenient for testing as the Sith could control how many creatures emerged for testing and extermination. For the two Jedi, a single raven would continue to sit in the trees above them, merely watching how they might handle the cave.
Joseph Torson
As the white-armored Vong were new creations, there would be no hits on the database for the Final Dawn commandos, although the accompanying soldiers with them would be easily recognized as the Blackblade soldiers of Darth Carnifex. The Sith Adept would equally be unknown to the Final Dawn team, and the sighting and downing of one drone had placed all of the hunter-killer team on alert. Where the Sith Adept had been, a raven would take flight and provide aerial eyes for more drones that would follow the squad as it made its way back through the jungle towards Benzir Base.
