Private The capture of: Maro Thif

[Aeron Dosh]

issuing contractor: Grace Elnes

assignment: Capture Maro Thif, Alive.

"Incoming contract, sir" The Droid says, as he walks into the pilot's cockpit. Aeron puts his ship into autopilot, and quickly gets out of his chair to move to his contract terminal, thinking to himself, "Finally, it's been a while. My trigger finger was getting lazy without some exercise. No more shooting target dummies." As Aeron makes his way to the terminal, he opens up the hololetter, and begins to read it, "From Grace Elnes, Acting General for the Republic forces on Endor To: Aeron Dosh Your assistance is needed on Endor, to help our forces capture the notorious Maro Thif. He's a Sith lord responsible for countless war crimes. He's been officially disbarred from the Sith Empire for his traitorous acts against them. The republic wants him captured for his crimes. We need him alive, bounty hunter. He has a small group of loyal imperial deserters with him, and he's built himself a base of operations on Endor. We'll supply you with a team of soldiers, if needed. A successful capture will pay handsomely" As Aeron finishes the last sentence, a smirk creeps onto his face. It's been a while since his last Sith lord capture. This is going to be an incredible trophy for him. As Aeron lands his ship near the coordinates the general provided him, he grabs a bag filled with numerous gadgets and weaponry, and he makes his way towards the republic's base to meet with Grace. Grace is accompanied by a team of republic soldiers and guards. "Aeron, you were recommended to me by the republic's high command. You're noted as being one of the best for a mission like this. I hope all the hype is true. I don't think Maro will go down easy." "That's what they all think. Force or not, a well placed blaster bolt kills everyone. I got an answer for every Sith lord and their force tricks" "Be that as it may, hunter. Let's go over your options and objectives:" Objective 1: Disable the base's security - Grace begins to speak, "Maro's base has laser barriers, and numerous guards. You're going to need to find a way to disable all the barriers, if you want a chance to capture him. Luckily for you, I have a republic specialist here: Tylo. He's a republic slicer, and if you can get access to the terminal inside the base, he'll be able to shut down the barriers. This will allow our forces to assist you in your assault on the Sith lord's base" Objective 2: Secure any Sith empire information - Grace says, "Even though Maro was exiled from the Sith empire, He still has valuable information about the Sith empire's movements and plans. Collect any information you find and bring it back to me. Any information you can bring back will add a bonus to your bounty. Additionally, we'll have a few republic scouts whose job it'll be to assist you in your efforts of recovering any data." Objective 3: Capture Maro, alive - Grace pauses, and glances at Aeron with a stern look, "Remember what I said. Alive. We need Maro, alive. The republic believes in a fair trial, and we need any information Maro is willing to give us about the Sith empire's forces" Aeron, with a smirk and a nod, begins to head out the base, with a small group of republic soldiers following closely behind. The sun begins to set on the forest planet.

 

[Aeron Dosh]

Objective 1: Disable the base's security

As Aeron and his small squad of republic troops make their way to the base, they halt a few miles outside the range of any enemy forces' detection range.

Aeron takes a glance at Tylo. The republic slicer, and he motions from him to follow,

"The rest of you, stay here and wait for my signal on the radio. Me and Tylo will disable the security and launch our own sneak attack, while the rest of you will push through the front"

Aeron and Tylo sneakily move through the forestry terrain. Dashing from tree to tree, and wading through large bushes to stay hidden. As Aeron and Tylo get closer to the base, Aeron gestures to Tylo to remove his drone from his backpack, and begin a scouting run. Through a long analysis of the base's defenses, a weakness is found. Every hour and a half there is a small reconnaissance party that patrols outside the bounds of the base to check for dangers,

"That's our ticket in," Aeron says pointing at the drone's screen. As the drone's battery dwindles down, it's flown back to the pair in hiding and put onto a portable charger for later.

Aeron turns on his radio and tells his men what the plan is, before making his way towards the most common patrol route for the enemy squad. Aeron and Tylo sit patiently hidden in cover for hours, until they spot a squadron of four exiled imperial troops walking outside the base. Aeron gestures towards Tylo to prepare to shoot. In a hushed voice, Aeron counts back from three, and as he says one. Two shots are fired at two of the troops. Both eliminated on the spot. The other two barely have time to get cover before the next two shots ring out.

Aeron and Tylo slow approach the bodies of the troops, and disarms them, and takes their armor. A perfect fit.

As Aeron and Tylo suit up, Aeron goes onto the enemy's radio and announces their done with their patrol and they're heading back to base.

While entering through the base's front gate, a pack of soldiers unknowingly continue with their duties. Aeron and Tylo slowly make their way to the base's security center, and - unsurprisingly - find out it's locked and guarded.

Aeron comes up with a plan. The pair ask a bunch of soldiers where the commander is, and approach him,

"Sir, One of the officers in the medical center wants to speak to you"

"About what?"

"He didn't say"

As the commander grunts and makes a move towards the medical center. Tylo pumps into him, and Aeron pockets his key card,

"Watch where you're going, sergeant"

As Aeron approach the security office, he tells the two guards standing outside,

"The commander asked for your presence at the medical center. He said we'll take your place"

"What for?"

"He didn't say. Maybe a medical examination? Who knows? I just follow orders"

The two guards shoot each other a glance, and move out of the way. Then, as soon as the guards are out of sight, Aeron pulls the key card from his pocket and opens the security door. Immediately, as the security officers glance up, Aeron and Tylo raise their guns and command the officers to stay quiet. After Aeron ties them up, Tylo starts working on slicing the terminal's security until he realizes the commander's keycard gives them instant access to the controls. Once the gates are down, Aeron pulls up his radio and tells his other squad members to rush into the base.
