Lord Vexx’s Search for the Asylum

[Christopher Drake]

“Captain. We need more ships. We can’t withstand this.” Captain Drake looked over coldly. Send Lord Vexx an encoded transmission. Tell him his shuttle must exit the system at light speed and regroup with us.”
“One of the shuttle pilots is responding... ‘Battle in the hangar. Lord Vexx engaged. Will exit at suggested course and speed.’”

[Ren Vexx]

“My Lord!” One of the shuttle pilots called. “We must go.” Fear. Intense fear. “Load Benson onto the shuttle!” The soldiers did as ordered. “Until next time, Natian.” Vexx extinguished his lightsaber and boarded his shuttle with the others.

The shuttle immediately moved to take off and leave the hangar. The door was shut. “Have Drake blast it open with the railgun.”
“Very good my Lord.”

 

[Christopher Drake]

Onboard the Vengeance, they received strange orders. “Follow Lord Vexx’s instruction. Turn the weapon.”
“But sir-“
“The enemy fleet is closing. It won’t be useful for long.”

The railgun turned and fired at the blast doors of the Sanitorium’s hangar. The door was ripped from its perch. On the bridge, Captain Drake spoke calmly. We’ve done all we can. We will cover Lord Vexx’s escape, and then leave the system. The battle may be over, but the war is far from it.”

As the Battle raged on , the enemy Battleship used it’s railgun to fire at the blast doors of the Sanitorium’s Hangar destroying it and allowing a single shuttle to escape. The James Cerensp was contacted by Natian Sanorge. “James , Renvexx has escaped with the Doctor order all of your Fighters to neutralize that shuttle it is our top priority.” Natian Said. “Roger that.” James said as he turned to his officers. “Have 2 Tie Phantom Squadrons intercept that shuttle and force the shuttle move towards my Ship. We will catch them in our Tractor beams and capture Renvexx’s Shuttle.”

With that order , 2 cloaked Tie Phantom Squadrons suddenly appeared behind Renvexx’s Shuttle and began attacking his shuttle quickly damaging it’s engines while also taking out any Tie Interceptors attempting to protect Renvexx’s Shuttle. Meanwhile , the Fighters and Bombers of the Subjugator launched their first attack run against , the remaining Valient-I Star Destroyer with the Tie Heavy Bombers releasing their Proton Torpedos and quickly disabling the enemy Star Destroyer in which began to drift in space as it’s engines shut down all that was left was the Battleship.

After disabling the Star Destroyers , the FIghter Squadrons moved forth to begin cutting off the path of Renvexx’s Shuttle and forcing it towards the Directorate Fleet where it would soon be caught in the tractor beams of the Enforcer. James Cerensp saw at how the Directorate Fleet continued to gain the upper hand against the enemy fleet and smiled. Now it was the Battleships turn to suffer. “Have our shrapnel torpedos target that Battleships engines prevent that ship from escaping.”

And once more , the Shrapnel Torpedos were released this time targeting the engines of the enemy Battleship with only few torpedos being shot down this time and at least 50 Torpedos hitting the enemy Battleship’s engines completely destroying them and and the hyperdrive creating an explosion in which effectively damaged the engines beyond repair. Now the enemy Captain had nowhere to go , his fleet decimated and the Directorate standing victorious. Now all that was left was to mop out the remaining enemy fighters and soon the forces of Renvexx would be defeated and Jakob Bensen would be freed once more.

Vexx’s checkmate would not be ruined by some meddlesome Directorate. He pushed enemy fighters at each other. As he pushed two tie fighters together, he screamed. Then a wicked idea crossed the Sith’s mind he twisted the guns of the enemy ships up and in on themselves, either disabling them or causing them to fire on their own ship. He started with the command vessel. They would feel as much pain as possible before Vexx left with his prize.

[Jakob Benson]

Benson didn't like the fact that he was being dragged around like some damsel in distress. It was humilating. But all of this was a lesson to be sure and he was learning from it.

When building the facility, he had planned on only minor offences and smaller vessels looking to liberate a patient or two. Not engagements by entire fleets. Already he was going over new ideas and new plans to ensure that such a thing didn't happen again.

"You won't get very far, you know. Might as well quit while you're ahead. Just some doctorly advice...."

[Ren Vexx]

“Silence!” Vexx screamed at Benson. “Restrain him. Keep him in the cockpit.” Then Vexx left to give orders to the troops. “We are going to board the enemy vessel. We are going to kill them. Take them down. Man for man. Soldier for soldier. For the Empire!”
“For the Empire!”

 

[Christopher Drake]

Captain Drake watched from his crippled vessel as the enemy’s weapons twisted upon themselves and Lord Vexx’s command shuttle flew into landing range. The craft stayed firmly centred, waiting to see if they were so bold as to tractor in a Sith Lord over a glorified psychologist.

“Prepare more troops to follow Lord Vexx onto the enemy vessel.”
“Yes Captain.”

Objective : Defeat Renvexx and free Dr.Bensen

As the enemy Battleship’s Engines were taken down. James Cerensp prepared to order to open fire on it when suddenly something bad happened. The Main Armament of Ships of the Directorate began to twist upon themselves immediately disabling them. However soon that had little concern for Cerensp as his officers notified him of the impending arrival of Renvexx’s shuttle. Cerensp however knew this was a ruse. He had never ordered the tractor beams to lock on to the shuttle and the Shuttle was moving towards his ship at a faster speed. Then it came to him. Renvexx was boarding his ship.

“Activate the tractor beams , but keep the ship in place. We are going to take out their engines and hurl that ship towards Hoth. Let’s see what Renvexx’s men are truly made off.” Ordered Cerensp. And as he ordered , Renvexx’s shuttle was captured by the tractor beam and the remaining Tie Phantoms having a clear shot at their target opened fire immediately destroying the engines of Renvexx’s Shuttle. Then the Enforcer moved forth to slowly project the Shuttle towards Hoth as upon sending the Ship towards Hoth , the Enforcer’s Tractor beams released the shuttle leaving it plummeting towards Hoth.

“Prepare an invasion force , once we get confirmation that the shuttle has crash landed we will move forth to launch a full-scale attack against what’s left of Renvexx’s Forces.The Cold Weather along with our superior firepower will soon force Renvexx to bend to the will of the Directorate.” Said James Cerensp. “And what of the enemy vessel.” one of the other officers said. “It seems that they are deploying boarding craft.” James laughed , “Order all Tie Phantoms and Tie Avengers to destroy them and prepare to fire our Flak Guns. “James ordered.

Cerensp would not let a single enemy board his ship and if they tried he would repel them at full force. The Sith thought he could win , but Cerensp was always one step ahead. Always one step towards Victory. This day would be perhaps the first major victory fought by the Directorate alone and would soon Cerensp would make sure Renvexx paid for his actions.

“No flight stabilisers. I can’t contr-“ The Pilot died on impact. The remaining soldiers and their Sith commander survived. “Protect Benson at all costs. Remain here. Life support is still functional.” Vexx donned his cloak and stepped out into the cold, closing the shuttle door behind him. Vexx saw craft moving for the surface. Mostly enemy. And then the traces of friendly craft keeping too close for comfort. He ignited his lightsaber and walked away from his shuttle. The Directorate would engage no matter what, but he could alter the terms.

 

[Christopher Drake]

Drake ordered all landing craft to divert and match the course and speed of the enemy. One of four shuttles was lost en route, but soon they were too close to the Directorate forces to open fire.

[Jakob Benson]

Such a temper that [member="Ren Vexx"] had would lead to mistakes. His anger and passion for hate blinded him to the bigger picture. But Benson didn't need to say anything. It all just unfolded in front of him.

The crash on Hoth came quickly, but as they fell, Benson had full control of himself again and was able to brace for impact. Debris fell on top of him, but outside of bruises and minor cuts, he was fine.

And still under guard.

With Vexx out of there Benson looked to the guard that remained. "I told him to quit while he was ahead. Now he's acting out of desperation. With this shuttle down, how does he expect you all to get off this ice block? I think that the time to surrender would be about now."

Location : Hoth
Objective : Defeat Renvexx and Free Jakob Bensen.

As Renvexx’s shuttle crash-landed , a group of Tie Phantoms moved forth to search for Renvexx’s downed shuttle in order to locate it and prepare for an eventual assault.However as the Tie Phantoms began their search they spotted a group of Shuttles from the enemy Battleship and activated their cloaking devices and followed them soon revealing the location of Renvexx’s downed shutte. Once locating the shuttle the Cloaked Tie Phantoms returned to the Enforcer where they reported the location of the Shuttle to James Cerensp.

“Commander Cerensp we have spotted Renvexx’s shuttle. It has been spotted in the Clabburn Range near an abandoned base.” the pilot said as he contacted James Cerensp. “Well done Lieutenant. Report to the Enforcer and await further orders” James said. However now James had a choice to either destroy the enemy Battleship or attack Renvexx. Off course now that he had disabled the enemy Battleship Cerensp decided to focus on Renvexx.

“Hum… order the Tie Heavy Bombers to bombard the positions of Renvexx’s forces. That will at least weaken them. We shall continue hampering their forces until they give in or at least until they are too weak to withstand a full-scale assault from our forces.” ordered James Cerensp. The DIA agent would make sure this would be a Battle to be remembered for the Directorate and he would make sure Renvexx and his men suffered dearly for ever daring to challenge the Directorate.

Soon the First Tie Heavy Bombers escorted by Tie Avengers began their first bombing run against the positions of Renvexx’s forces bombing the area surrounding the shuttles as a warning and preparing to launch a second attack run. For Cerensp, Renvexx would soon be forced to capitulate as the cold weather of Hoth would begin taking it’s toll on Renvexx’s men and soon the Directorate would emerge victorious from this long struggle. There was almost nothing to stop them now.

[Ren Vexx]

Vexx stormed back into his shuttle. He prepared a transmission. “Directorate Vessels. Jakob Benson will die with us. Unless...” he reached out with the Force. “[member="James Cerensp "]would like to discuss it personally. Neutral area. No soldiers. No cloaked fighters.” He stepped back out into the snow as soldiers deployed. “Kill any soldiers who land. Officers, bring to me.” And then he left for a nearby sheet of ice. There he meditated in wait for the Directorate Commander. He would know that Vexx was alone. Trying to capture a Sith Lord would prove difficult. Appeasing him had a possibility of not ending in unnecessary deaths. While the Sith knew the Directorate didn’t mind casualties, perhaps their calculating nature would lead them away from Benson. For now.

 

[Christopher Drake]

“Maintenance to the engine room, restore any propulsion.”
“Sir, the damage-“
“I don’t care! Make it happen!” All Drake could feel was hate for the enemy. “Don’t launch yet. Prepare for evacuation.”

 

[Ivan Stadd]

Location : Hoth
Objective : Defeat Renvexx’s Forces and Save Dr. Benson

As James Cerensp looked at the enemy crippled Battleship in which drifted in space unable to fight back against the might of the Directorate , he was contacted by one of his officers.”Sir we have received a transmission from Renvexx. Apparently he wishes to meet with you alone in a neutral zone without any troops or cloaked fighters. Should i deliver your response” the officer said. James Cerensp then decided to directly respond to Renvexx.

“Renvexx , if you really wish to talk then you must understand that you have been beaten. You have the Doctor sure but i have you and your men Trapped on Hoth. That Doctor is the only thing preventing me to order the full bombardment of your forces. I will agree to join you on the ground but hear this , there will be no negotiations only demands in additions i WILL bring an escort of Troopers as i hold the upper advantage and i can swiftly crush your forces if you resist. I await your response personally for when I land on the planet.”

James Cerensp then went to his hangar where a Squad of Directorate Supercommandos awaited him and where reading for combat just in case Renvexx decided to strike against them. Armed with Electrostaffs the Supercommandos and James Cerensp boarded the shuttle as they prepared to descend on Hoth to begin talks with Renvexx. Though Renvexx always had a trick up his sleeve , the Directorate would always be one step ahead and in this case , James Cerensp had tasked his forces to organize a Ground Assault Force in case Renvexx would be stubborn as he always was.
Escorted by 4 Cloaked Tie Phantoms , James Cerensp’s Shuttle departed the Enforcer and made way for the positions of Renvexx as he was willing to demonstrate that the Directorate was not a force to be messed with and was a lethal Organization with powerful fleets and one that did not have any tolerance for it’s enemies. Even if Renvexx escaped , the DIA would keep a few Subjugators and Donnagers to monitor his activities and make sure he did not try to harm any of the Directorate’s ally at any moment.

“I’m tired of this.” Vexx stood up. “What interest could you possibly have in one delusional doctor? You say no negotiations. You have already decided that you have won. Mistake. I hold the winning piece. There is a Sith tradition. Rite of single combat. If you win, my forces will yield Doctor Benson freely and you can take him wherever you please, no resistance. If I win, you leave this system, and Doctor Benson with me. Ultimatums are the last resort of the weak. Free yourself.”

 

[Christopher Drake]

“I hope Lord Vexx knows what he’s doing.” Drake said as he watched @James Cerensp’s shuttle drift toward the surface of Hoth.

 

[Jakob Benson]

Benson watched the situation unfold before him. He sat under guard, though it wasn't as though he was looking to escape. Where would he go without proper attire? He wasn't dressed to withstand the arctic climate of Hoth. So it was better for him to be on a ship.

"You're in way over your head. And now you're grasping at straws in order to maintain control. But we all know that you lost it the moment your people attacked. Next time, I suggest that you do your research before pulling off another stunt like this."

A little goading, perhaps. But Benson knew that he had the upper hand. He was the main playing piece in this game.
