Faction The Danger Will Test You: Silver Jedi Rescue Mission

[Matsu Ike]

The damage to the silver rest was extensive... compared ot many that had been rescued... countless more were still missing and relaations with the wookiees were strong but tense... no one was certain what had happened. One of the bigger things was trying to handle the influx of false claims or ones looking to take advantage. Matsu was looking at the bigger things and kidnappings were happening across silver jedi space. The jedi were prepared to work on many things but Matsu had sent out Willa Isard to lead the main team hunting them down.. there were investigators set about to find the information but she could act as overwatch with the nornfang and a farstriker unit of jedi. There was more here... hunting down criminals and trying to restore a sense of order might be difficult and she had expected maybe a few to try and use a heavy hand... but the jedi master had worked to try and maintain a sense of purpose and patience with what they were doing. Matsu poured over the data and information trying to narrow it down and give them the best intel but a lot of their equipment was still slagged from the fires that had spread through but teams were sent to handle it. "Good luck." THe jedi master said it while preparing them and the ships were sent out. She had brought in the Kenobi fleet as a means to improve defensive measures. Additional means were also done but they were trying to figure out the next big step.

Objective A: Hunting the Truth
Joycelyn Zambrano leads the opposition (unknown but serves as IC opposition)

Objective B:
Investigations are key and small crimes to try and restore a sense of calm and assure the people that the jedi are still around and able to help all of them not just focus on themselves.

 

[Caltin Vanagor]

The mood in the dining hall changed. The mood was the entire environment and had done so in an instant. The ground started to rumble, the building began to shift and everything went hot, incredibly hot and it was all coming from underground. Looking around, almost frantically, Caltin was not panicking, but searching for what could be the source of the issue or at least the direction.

Everyone outside! NOW!

It was almost too late as the flames shooting up from the depts of the planet actually burst out of the kitchen as if the source of some ridiculous pun. Instinctively, like the “immovable object,” he always put himself into the role of, Vanagor stood and shielded the intense blaze from anyone it would liquify if given a chance. The ground was opening up, the entire place was coming down.

Get clear!

Several Apprentices stood with him to help, but while the massive Jedi Master appreciated their confidence and desire to assist, he would not have their harm on his conscience.

That includes you. We need to know all that we are dealing with.

It was bound to happen, as he could only deflect for so long, but the entire Silver Rest was coming down on top of him. “Don’t worry” would be an apropos thing to put here, but no one concerned themselves. Not out of a lack of concern for the big man, but because… well… he climbed out of the rubble. Just in time to see the Wroshyr Tree of the Knibulus Clan, the family of Wookiees who is closest to the Silver Rest, the family who he personally had known and been an honorary part of for over eight hundred years.

Those Apprentices that wanted to help? He gladly accepted it this time. With a lot of focus, the big man pulled up a patch of ground 25 by 25 pushing for them to get on, and levitated the huge mass of terra firma into the air. This makeshift organic platform would serve as a safety net for anyone who could jump off a tree and onto it in order to get to safety. The Apprentices were free to jump onto the burning branches and help anyone who could not help themselves.

“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.​

“Caltin would be Caltin…”
A common euphemism when one would wonder about the massive Jedi Master’s potential response to a situation. It was unfair really to simply say that because it put the big man in a bit of a box and did not let him be the way he wanted to without some level of scrutiny. The truth is, right now, it was rather surprising for many to see that Vanagor was sticking around the wreckage, not only arranging cleanup crews but working with them himself, all the while the big man was working in telecommunication with his wife who was on board “The Dreamweaver.” The Starlight Cruiseline Starliner had just dropped out of hyperspace and was slipping into geo-synchronous orbit overhead.

The enormous vessel was already sending down shuttles with loaders, worker droids, and such to help with cleanup as well as volunteers to help give out supplies and arrange transport back up to the ship. The Cruiseliner was not going anywhere right now, she would serve as a makeshift home for anyone who would need it, at no charge. She would also give the Silver Jedi a Temporary Temple as well, one that would give them safety and protection when they need it most right now. Caltin was not worried about them though. Right now he was concerned about the Scorabius Clan. The Wookiee tribe that just lost their ceremonial home of over two thousand years. They were the ones who warranted his concern more than anything.

It felt good to prove the naysayers wrong. Not the ones about the big man, they would always be there, but the naysayers about Jedi. Maybe it was just him doing so, offering this kind of help, maybe others would follow but this is what they were supposed to be doing. This is how it was supposed to happen. Jedi were not a charity, or outreach by any means, but they also were not meant to sit back and watch as the world passed them by either. It’s time they remembered that.

Several volunteers joked with him about maybe doing a remote “Cooking with Caltin” and he just laughed, that was until he had seen the young one who was passed, crushed by a fallen burning branch. The scene was graphic and details would not be offered here, but the big man knew the boy. He was a lineage to Llabruf, his long-time friend in the clan dating back to his days as a Knight so many years ago. Having to tell the family would be hard enough. Now he was going to have to do the right thing and keep them from doing something that they were going to regret.

Damage was assessed.

They were fugged.

Make no mistake. The team was operationally ready, for the most part. A new RONTO was unloaded and the old one was sent off. Uriel would drive now. She wanted it that way. It was good as she was good on the ground and they could use her if they needed to. Could just stash the vehicle as needed. They needed to get smaller again. They needed to be leaner and meaner. Back to the days when it was just 5 of them as a whole. They never got that small again, but they needed the mindset, and not one that was to rival some idiot Ranger who was off playing “Jedi” somewhere else.

Azrael was back in a Mk IV gear set. Zadkiel was still freaking out over the loss of teammates as he damn well should, all of them should be in some way shape, or form, they would have some level of a soul if they did not. So, as they were reloading, with everything seeming to get to some level of calm right now, they were wondering what the orders were, seeing as how they were not rotating back in. It was not often that they were out in the field this long but it was clear that they had orders coming down the pipeline, and judging by the number of explosives on the RONTO they had just received, it was something big.

Ummmmm

Gabriel, you look giddy…

I feel like a kid at Disney World!

Where?

What the frell is a “Disney World?”

I don’t know, it just felt apropos.

Look at you, using big words…

[Gundark 1… Acknowledged…] Got our orders, Boss.

They are?....

We’re clearly blowing something up.

Heehee I love my job…

We need to secure the perimeter of that Wroshyr tree there and blow it before it causes more damage. Any hostile acts are to be met with full force.

Are they expecting any?

That explosion in the tunnels? That was no coincidence.

Nope…

Do you have a theory, Gabriel?

Oh, here we go…

The angle, the force of the blast. It was all set purely to direct “outward” and not expand. It was clearly professionally done and directionally charged. Whoever set that up was a pro on multiple levels.

Think they’re still here?

Whoever they are, they’re not done yet.

Many people, including some on the team, believed “Gabriel” to be a little bit crazy, and he was, but when it came to explosives, threat assessment, and psychological profiling(ironically) there is no one you want to have more on your team in situations like this.

Alright, weapons check. We move in five.

You heard the man, mount up.

... yeah, we scare them.

 

[Amelia Amadis]

At the explosion…

One over adventurous padawan was waiting till the last minute with a small holo recorder filming the display

Everyone outside! NOW!

"B…But… just getting a… aw come on!"

That includes you. We need to know all that we are dealing with.

"Okay Okay." She sulked, almost pulled along by one of the Masters. Genuinely bothered less by the explosions and more by missing her story!

….Now

Green Robes. Looking them over in a mirror. Not bad, not sure about these hoods though. Temple for a ship, might make for a fun story? Young Amelia had only just got here a few months back and there were explosions! Phew time to get to work, the press never sleeps! She patted herself down one more time and walked out.

Amelia had no idea why people were naysaying their temple, she was just a padawan, living her life. The lightsaber she'd been given was green, hanging by her hip, her robes were forest green, and well yeah a green day. People were just people to her, making their mistakes, living their lives, and doing their best. Except the big dumb ones who blew up temples! Whatever. Out came one young bundle of trouble to join an investigation, training as much as it would be a mission for her. Impressionable minds needing direction her father might say, Amelia would just roll her eyes.

It wasn't like the Masters were going to have her saber-rattling or pow pow with the blasters, but she felt because she was there, she had to do something. Amadis genes. People had to know the Jedi were good people, her father and mother weren't lying right? She'd always met good ones, just people, larger-than-life heroes sometimes, and sometimes just people. Pulling up her green hood, long red hair still rolling down her side, she leaned against a wall.

"Entry 2. This is Amelia Amadis reporting for the HNN," she turned it off quickly when someone walked by, not sure if people wanted to be interviewed on a day like today. Nobody had taken her comm messages back yet but one day she was going to get her story, the Jedi were the good guys, otherwise, everything she knew was a lie. "Our celebrations were attacked and this is what happened next..."

The Rac served as one of the infiltration ships. Willa looking at a mixture, some rangers but also paladin and guardians. The aged and she felt old Havok squad fighter hadn't thought this would be possible.. she had seen the silver rest attacked by the mandalorians on an almost weekly basis. She had seen the Republic attacked in much the same way and she survived. When the vahla were taken in and corrupted by the One sith from Isolde into servants of their emperor she had been one of the few who resisted... the Sin family... doesn't doesn't count they were heretics by any standards claiming godhood as the children of Vahl herself and Revan the ancient being.

THe gleam of the stealth systems for her Jericho Class MK VII Armor were on display to the ones assembled there... the shoulder cannon a new addition but it was designed by Sasori and an impressive thing that unlocked when she hooked her saber into her belt clip. The cannon requiring strict definitions of when to use it like the vector fighters and vanguard speeders of the high republic. She had secured the bulk of her equipment slimming it down too Nightwish and her Silvermist Weapons System which served more then enough. The Heavy Cannon was there just in case but one of the Paladin Biot was holding onto it.

Willa though was looking over the information from her visor about what had happened.. She had been rebuilding their compound with its defenses when Dane and the other had been sent in. Then silence and she hadn't been able to feel much aside from the reports of something... they had dropped everything and mounted up for war but it was easier then that. Arriving as quickly as they could and aiding she hadn't wasted time going where requested. Picking up or at least offering some girl with a holorecorder. The vahla stood there and her golden eyes gleamerd in the lower lights of the Rac. Her fingers twirling a Combat Knife around as she spoke.

"You have orders, there is little intel just police reports. Get in search for clues first, find any information and report anything suspicious."

 

[Jorah zos Darnus]

The moon of Alaris was close enough to Kashyyyk that the response from Kamar Taj was swift in arriving.

"Lora."

The word, spoken in Paecian, seemed to take on a haunting note, as though invoking an ancient power within the planet itself.

"Ama het I'shuree edalinare," the Dathomiri teen continued, the incantation seeming to draw the spirit ichor from out of the air itself. Pulling his hands apart, the red-and-black marked shaman seemed to wrap the mist around his hands before applying the mystical ichor to the burns of the Wookiee that was seated on a crate before him.

It was not the ideal conditions for healing, but one soothed pain when and where they could, when and where required.

As he worked, the witch-doctor's amber eyes glanced around the smoldering area around the Silver Rest. Or what remained of the Silver Rest. He could make out the large form of Caltin Vanagor and was relieved to see the Jedi warrior was with them.

Without knowing the proximate cause of this disaster, then should another attack befall them, it was good that they would have such a sorcerer as he with them.

As it was, the Nightsters had begun making preparations to help evacuate some of the younglings and Wookiees to Alaris.

Refugees welcoming refugees. There was irony in that.

"You have orders, there is little intel just police reports. Get in search for clues first, find any information and report anything suspicious."

First solo mission! Wow she was excited. Until she looked up to see a very large elder wookiee who was supervising her. Dangit. Well not like she was going to be running amok with no training. I suppose. Whatever. Maybe some of the others came with them, who knows?

Eekkihn introduced himself testing her dialect. Wookieespeak, Shyrriwook, and Thykarann were second languages for her. Her guide was telling her how she was not to stray far from the forest paths, to always keep an eye out for jungle sign, she knows she knows, she was hunting here with her mom since she was five.

Answering in both dialects and a local variant from villages nearby their temple, which from a half Firrerreo, with impressive canine teeth didn't come off all too bad. Eekkihn didn't say all too much but she could tell she'd scored a win.

Into the jungles they went, along the forest paths, not too deep as the deeper you went the more dangerous it was, somewhere toward the mid jungle levels the padawan and her mentor traveled. He was like twice her size, but it didn't slow her one bit, determined to show she could keep up. Every so often Eekkihn would look back appraisingly and she'd put her hands on her hips, tapping her foot.

That's where they came across their first weird sign. Midway up the trees on one of the many jungle paths, sat a small yellow obelisk, which had about three Wookiees looking it over. Eekkihn told her to stay back, which of course she completely ignored, "Entry 3 Strange Yellow Obelisks….." The press never sleeps. She should probably call someone or something, but she'd wait until she knew what 'it' was.

They were moving slow, almost slow enough to be going backward. Not really, but the point was made, They were making stops on their circle of the dead Wroshyr tree putting charges into the ground to break up any of the lifeless roots so that it may be pulled up and another might take its place one day. The actions also were to give anyone responsible a potential trap to spring as they crossed it. Always think about the future.

So far there was nothing, nothing but Obelisks.

The problem with whatever these Obelisks where is that they made little to no sense, but what they also gave the team was something else to find. More gutted Trandoshans. What was going on here? Originally it looked like these noted trackers were killed by something other-worldly in a manner of speaking, but this is something else. No, it was best to let this play out until they know more. Then there will be not only more to go on, but something to finally deal with.

That is until they came across what looked to be some sort of Sith affiliated camp that Chamuel just came across. It was not abandoned, but it was clearly empty, at least at the moment. They could wreck it and move on, but that would give up what they knew if whoever inhabited it returned. They could wait it out in hiding and be waiting forever for nothing if it was indeed abandoned. Deciding on it was easy enough.

An ambush was set up. These idiots had to come back some time.

... yeah, we scare them.

The more he needed, the more staff came down from the starliner. Caltin was not going to stop looking for survivors, but there was a big part of him that wanted to find out what, or who, was behind this so as he continued, the big man looked around. He was listening for survivors but looking for potential reasons for what might have caused this. It was more and more becoming clear that this was sabotage and not some kind of catastrophe, the downside of not paying attention to any news going on right now.

It was actually a pleasant surprise to see the little pistol grip of a Nightbrother in Jorah zos Darnus. The young one was here to help and his unique abilities would prove to be a viable asset. One thing the big man was able to do was look for, plan and eventually set up some level of early warning system added into the security layout. More would come of that later, right now it was more important to get refugees to safety up on “The Dreamweaver” and work to clear out more land freeing up space. It was going to take long enough to complete this as it is.

As much as Caltin wanted to be “out and about” hunting down who might have done this, the survivors needed him more. They needed a presence that could inspire them to persevere. He could continue to do that.

Willa was looking at the intel they had gathered and the few others. She was double checking the equipment as the teams on the Rac had a better chance to prepare. "Final checks." Willa said it and moved around. THe main hold was set up as the display came into view. A TOmie class transport in case they needed it and they had a gunship that she would be able to use if they needed it. Her helmet going to her belt as she clipped it there before they overwent the display. Images from kashyyyk were coming through and she was pushing to stay calm as fires wanted to rage. Assaulting the rest played int nothing one would like and sshe wanted to purge such heresy but remained soothing... golden fire in her eyes as one hand snapped her fingers producing small bursts of flame at her fingertips.

[Eye in the sky]

[One second, helping put out a fire.]

[10-9?]

[You heard me.]

[26]

Jeremiel up in the Pegasus was not trying to be rude, but there were still pockets of areas on fire and if they could help, they would. After all, this was still a "rescue" effort.

[Gentlemen, if I may interject, I am detecting a patrol of four individuals headed your way, from the South. Bartleby.]

[Thanks Seraphim, good to hear from you.]

What do we got?

Four from the South.

Sauriel, Michael… do your thing.

Treeline.

Bushes.

The two snipers quietly called out their positioning, as Sauriel climbed a nearby fur tree and Michael took a long walk around behind the team and down into a line of bushes. The rest all moved into ambush positions behind or around trees. Now it was a waiting game. Those who were not in position with rifles trained in the general direction of those approaching were putting suppressors on their sidearms. This was Sauriel’s show, he had the high ground and could make the positioning call as to who had what shot.

Two by two cover formation. Gabriel, Castiel… Michael… me…

Down.

Down.

Down.

Down.

Quickly they were all up Samael, and Chamuel each checked the bodies, making extra shots to the head in case of any visual recorders. Bartleby was going through their tech. There looked to be some sort of listening equipment, as well as comms. The comms could come in useful, but they would have to be looked into sparingly in case this patrol was possibly a decoy setup.

What do you want to do with this, Boss?

[Seraphim?]

[Sir, if you put a spike into it, I could attempt to slice their communications.]

[You can do that?]

[My abilities are currently limited, but it is, as you sentients say “worth the try”. I will keep my attempts to a minimum and only alert you when there is comm-traffic that might affect you, if that helps.]

This Artificial Intelligence, "Seraphim" was still in its prototype "Alpha" stage, but was already proving a worthy asset.

[We’ll do that, good work.] Alright, take the comm system with us. Gabriel… do your thing… Chamuel, follow their path here, see where it leads. Castiel and Samael will be right behind.

Alright, mount up.

Silently the Demo expert began placing grenades to the bodies. They were trapped to detonate when said bodies were moved. There were no Wookiees in the area so there was no chance of any friendly springing them. The other trap that was set was non-lethal, but would destroy the tech still there if touched. Soon the entire team was on the move, following the Infiltrator. He was looking for what the Sith patrol may have found.

*"10-9" = "Please Repeat"
"26" or "10-26" = "Acknowledged."

... yeah, we scare them.

Once upon a time, the Sith Empire had assaulted Kashyyyk to punish the Silver Jedi Order for their transgressons against the Empire. Back in those days, Joycelyn had been more of a soldier than a sith. Even so, she remembered well fighting her way up the steps of Silver Rest. The Fires of Vahl had sustained her against overwhelming odds, and she was mere meters away from the doors when the Empire called the retreat, their mission complete.

To her chagrin, the Sanctum remained unbreached.

Many years had since passed, and much had changed: The Empire had fallen, her home was burned and her forces scattered, but Darth Vornskr was not undone. She had grown in the strife, grown stronger, fiercer, darker in thought and deed.

Thoughts and deeds that her foes would soon begin to realise had touched their very home.

«My Lord» Grass rustled as a masked figure knelt behind the Vahlacanthix. «There has been an attack on campsite Aurek. I request a squad to reinforce them.» His request was not immediately answered as he had hoped when he delivered it with such urgency. Instead, he saw the shadow of his master shift and heard the crunch of stone and grass underfoot as she turned to look down at him.

«We waste no troops. Time is short. Send the beasts and lure them away from our goal.»

For a moment, he seemed disappointed, but then a wicked grin split his face and showed his sharpened, rotting teeth. He turned his face up to look at her. Her dark hair framed her face and cast a contrast against her burning eyes.

«It will be done, my master.»

Cat-like beasts hissed and growled as they strained against their cages and chains, sensing the chance to be let loose. Beastmasters brought the Wyverns and Rayijadni Nexu under control of the masked figure, tethering them to his consciousness before they unleashed them. The beasts looked to their master with purpose, then moved at his behest. Their speed put the wind to shame.

—-

Joycelyn Zambrano dismissed the young, masked figure and turned her attention to another project entirely. Her face was marked with impatience as captives were carted on board the shuttles she had snuck down to the planet surface among the commotion. Safe to say, she would need to cause another commotion soon.

In the fires and chaos that raged across Kashyyyk, houses were burned and collapsed. The old and the brave were left, dead, dismembered, disfigured, or destraught by a loss all the greater. Yet, among the dead there were no children. Lucky, some would say.

-but they would be fools.

Her new Empire would require soldiers.

Reports were coming to them now and the Rac was settling down... the stealth ship taking in from the sensors some of the information and sights before they were heading in to one of the villages. She tapped a screen on her wrist datapad where they needed to go. "Setting waypoints, link up and investigate." She said it as there were nods for all of them. THe hardest part of this was control before they were heading off of the ship and repelling down into the trees. She could hear the sounds while homes were razed and had been attacked. "Look over what you can." Willa said it and focused holding her helmet as she brought it up and closed it over herself.

The path that they were on, following, led in a direction further and further away from where they were originally intended. Was this some kind of trap that they were being led to? Only one way really to find out. Dropping heavy running gear, they traveled with what they needed and would have to survive without the rest. This is where their training would have to come into play, it was commonplace for Omega Squad, and Special Forces in general to train incredibly hard. Doing so would make it easier for them to commit to moments like this without dwelling on it or hesitation.

They were also decoys themselves anyway.

It was when they started hearing eerie screeches and blood curdling roars that made the “unnatural” feeling of these disturbed trails all the more real.

... yeah, we scare them.

Jungles were rarely quiet; the canopy of immense worshyyr trees echoed with screams, howls and rustles from countless beasts that called them home. The canopies above Aien and his crew were no different for most of their treck. But then, suddenly, they stilled.

They ceased rustling.

They ceased wooping, hooting and calling.

Then a whole different type of howl cut through the forest. First from the left, then the right, ahead, behind, all around. Then silence again, before the wyverns assaulted from every angle like a swarm of flies descending upon rotting flesh.

——-

Villages had been hit hard and fast. The attackers did not try to take or hold the villages; they simply sought to raise them to the ground. They were dark-clad, but not in uniform. Their faces were covered with dark fabric that obscured their features, while goggles hid their eyes.

They did not seem to originate from one side or the other, but manifested among the population as if they had been there forever. Then, as the smoke began to rise, speeders rolled in and opened up. More of the masked assailants emerged from the transports.

They attacked without discrimination.

Their blades fell as often to maim as to kill. It seemed like the warriors delighted in the suffering. Calls for mercy fell on deaf ears.

And in the midst of the bloodshed, a crystal begun to grow.

Open up on em!

These unnatural beasts were on them from the air and the ground fast, the thick armored shells proving to be too difficult for weapons both projectile and edged. These attackers were not facing standard troops, they were facing Tier-1 Special Forces and while they were still pretty much no match for the Sith Lordess who gave the order for them to attack, Omega Squad were calm even when outmatched.

The Rotary Vambraces were a timely pickup on their gear as they were able to close the gaps on their fighting and were able to shred the Wyvern’s wings. Not all of them, mind you, many escaped. The team did not escape without injury either. Michael, Chamuel and Castiel were each in need of medical attention.

Call for pickup.

On it. [We need pickup.]

[Seraphim…]

[Sir, their vitals are stable, but they will need to be airlifted out.]

[Coming in hot.]

Uriel popped out into a cover position as everyone loaded up. They were going to need to switch gear again, those who were not injured. That was the benefit of the new Pegasus, they had onboard gear.

Keep a scan overhead. Those things went somewhere.

Guns up?

Guns up.

... yeah, we scare them.

The sounds came over the headset and Willa motioned with her hands for the others... what was in the Rac as it stopped and silently hovered overt the tree tops. "Alright, deploy." She said it as the doors opened and they lept.. the aerial assault gear was designed for jumping to the ground... thrusters aand shielding but also built in cannons to clear the way. They opened the wingsuits to slow the descent as she could see the incoming from the trackers. La Rasa their combat AI functioning and feeding them more information as she adjusted mid flight withdrawing the two slim sub machine guns... sleek black inth metal designed for her grip as she started firing the heavy shots.

One impacting a tree as it caused the explosion and shockwave to rattle senses. She would take hits to the but the shockwave for these things would usually throw senses off to navigate around. Willa slowed her descent focusing the force into the shots to curve the quorrel slugs jusst enough when the team touched the ground in one of the villages. "More contacts." THe paladin shifted the gun from duel to using it with two hands to brace and fire off torpedo's for more area blasts to vaporize threats that came overhead. "Get to cover." She said it while using her shoulder pad to tackle a door and rolled into it as the lithe body in power armor got them to cover.

Her hands came up as they began to fortify with the shield gates to protect the openings. Her weapon trained on the doors before they were searching around. Deploying the drones from the armor to search around.
