Saint Monica had taken a dropship down to the surface via the Star Destroyer ANS Requiem. Anyone else would probably arrive overland or via similar tactics.
The Briefing began as follows,
The Rimshawl Ministry of Defense had issued a state of emergency for the Avon Mountain District Twelve of Thyferra's Southern Continental expanse. a rugged mountainous terrain that received no snowfall this time of year but was often overlaid with deep fog and mists coming off the great lakes.
Here an Agricultural Research Facility had been infested by a subterranean species of Magnashowers. A violent and dangerous horse-sized lizard with a strange appetite for Petracite Energy Capacitors. A new type of green bio-battery that was currently under development at the mountain base. In fact, the large batteries now powered most of the compound itself.

"...So? Is that why you think the Magnas attacked? They smelled the new technology and came to investigate?"
Monica turned from her mountain perch and handed the quadnocks to her partner. A tall imperial droid by the name of K2-90. He didn't seem all that interested in introductions either. Sarcasm permeated his electronic voice almost immediately as he tossed the quadnocks aside,
~ "Probably. After all. There is only a 89% chance that the Petracite is exactly what attracted the creatures to our base. But, what would I know. I'm only a specialist in these types of calculations. It's not like if anyone listened to me in the first place, we wouldn't even be in this mess. Sigh." ~
Monica just shook her head and frowned,
"Fine. And how many people are still inside the cordon shield and the main compound?"
~ "Twelve. By my calculations. Most of the staff evacuated at the first bell. Alas. The rest were either too busy salvaging their work or they were trapped in the deep shafts with the creatures. Naturally. I have marked that last batch as KIA. No one survives a monster incursion down in the deep shafts. Even I would have been deactivated. And I'm a badass." ~
Again, she could only sigh at her metal companion,
"Thank you K2. That will be all."
~ "Wait a moment. The People's Air Defense has created a wide parameter around the base but has yet to launch any recovery missions. Is that because the NJO is here? ...Will you be rescuing the science staff alone, Master Jedi?" ~
Monica smiled,
"Oh no K2. I'm just here to slay some monsters. Hehe. ...Ta ta dear."
~ "Wait!? Where are you going!?" ~
The darkly dressed Jedi woman simply smiled and then stepped off the mountain side. Whoosh. Sailing happily out into the high open air. Falling, falling, falling; down into the darkly mists below. Poof. Disappearing from sight just as quickly.
Mmm. Leaving poor K2 to scratch his metal head with even greater distaste,
~ "Oh dear. Poor Jedi. Crazy as ever, I see. Mm, K2 old friend. I really don't think you'll ever understand humans. Tsk." ~
He folded his long metal arms and watched the air force patrolling the sky,
~ "Well. I suppose I'll just have to go save her. Sigh. ...Stupid human. Always making the droid play the hero. Good grief." ~
