T is for Transponders

[Rekha Kaarde]

The Midnight Star sat on the flight deck Rekha looked her over and over thinking each time she best be sitting there when I get back. She and another member of the Outback were getting ready to make a little trip along the border of First Order Territory.

A jaunt, a fly by...a mission.

The would use one of the Undergrounds ships to keep their private vessels from getting charred and full of holes. She was the pilot she assumed, but now who was this person she was meeting and would they be as good, or as friendly as her other companions had been.

She hoped so.

She had not taken a mission in a long time for reasons which were her own. The green eyed brunette watched to see who would approach.

She was thinking of asking Jorus a question when she got back, something she had been thinking about..but as usual her timing was not great. No, her timing sucked.

But she laughed and waited....

The Revenant Dawn hissed as the cargo ramp lowered and allowed a young man wearing boots, tan cargo pants, a black and grey hooded shirt, and a leather jacket stepped out. On his belt hung two sabers, one curved, the other slim and straight. On his hip sat a slugthrower. Dax had taken a liking to kinetic weapons such as that as opposed to blasters. Nowadays, most armors dispersed heat energy, not kinetic, hence his preference for the slightly heavier weapon. Despite its limitations, it certainly served a purpose.

The flight deck housed few other ships. A couple fighters refueling, another corvette, and a freighter. It was at the freighter that Dax saw a woman. Likely the one he'd been told to meet with, seeing as no one but a couple droids were present. The man approached the brunette woman and gave her a small smile and a nod, introducing himself as he drew nearer, "Dax Fyre. I don't suppose you're the one I'll be harassing the FO with are you?"

Holy Feth he's dressed like he's ready for war, or being a pirate. She tilted her head taking in his manner of dress, and the weapons. She was perhaps a little under dressed by comparison a single blaster. Yeah..

She extended her hand, "Rekha Kaarde and yep I'm it, so you and I are going to go find us either a FO station to slip onto, planet, or something to get a few transponders. We can use them to infiltrate their territory course we might only get to do it once or twice before they put them a list but we may need only once or twice to do a little redecorating."

"We are going to join up with the Grave Wind, they'll get us close to FO space then we are going to take," She stopped she was making an assumption and needed clarify before they left the ground, "can you pilot a ship?"

Dax took the woman's hand and shook it, "Nice to meet you. Yeah, I can fly." he responded, gesturing with his head back at the ship he'd exited. "We got a plan other than, get in and get out?" he asked, arm returning to his side. The man would've called the mission a simple snatch and grab, were it not for the fact it wasn't exactly 'simple'. Getting behind enemy lines was hard enough. Getting behind them, grabbing something, and getting back out alive and not starting a galactic war? Now that was a little bit different than simple...

"Good to know we can then take two of the interceptors to infiltrate FO space. Since they are mandalorian in design they might think us allies rather than thieves." Rekha nodded, and now as to a plan.

"Well I was only told don't get caught. So I have some information on movement on the First Order but they are tricky buggers they change things up. So we are going to make a plan but modifications will happen, just in case." Rekha smiled, "OK, let's take the Star up the Grave Wind and get on our way. We can talk strategy and things on the way, as it will take a day or two to move into position."

She motioned for him to come on, "Ever do a snatch and grab before?"

Dax followed the woman closely and nodded. "A few. Some have gone better than others of course. As long as the FO don't have an Acklay onboard though, we'll be fine." Surely that would bring a couple questions up regarding the Acklay, but that was a long story. "Where are we gonna be making our incursion from?" the man asked as they boarded the vessel. There must've been some gap in the FO's lines if they were gonna be sneaking in. The trick was gonna be making sure that gap stayed open long enough for them to make off with the cargo.

""The Alliance has a presence on Pendari it lies on the border of the FO, New Balosar is just a jump from there. It is rumored that several officers like going there to The Kindest Cuts we are going to land and hijack a few transponders from their ships. However, only a couple take their personal ships. Our biggest problem, getting past any of the security they got. I got some slicing experience, took a few classes from folks who know how to do that. If I could have gotten [member="Spark Finn"] to come with us I would have. She's a better splicer than anyone else."

She had not seen Sparkler a lot since..since when? She couldn't remember.

"Anyhow we are crossing GA space to get there. Once planet side we are mechanics. That give us opportunity around the ships if that falls out we improvise" She smiled, "should be fun, don't you think"

Rekha went forwad to settle into the pilot seat, she did her checks, and made ready for departure.
