Mairéad sat on the rocking shuttle opposite

Kardek Alpha and his buddy Alpha, she listened to the instructions from

Dedata | Celty Ree and took the earpiece from her, the AI in her helmet was able to quickly integrate the feed so she wouldnt have to deal with a duplicate HUD effect, she would also get the dreamsight to translate the words from Dedata into a audio message. It wouldnt be Dedata's voice, but it wouldnt be as potentially distracting as having a floating message appear in her line of sight without warning. She had no idea why Dedata chose to communicate this way, but it was not hers to question the Caporegime.

As Dedata finished and turned to make sure she was ready, she looked over at Kardek and smiled, she had first met him at the meeting in the Star Lounge and had actually quite enjoyed getting to know the pair. Even after the slightly off key suggestion that he and Alpha might benm dating. "Good to see you again, I never knew you?" She tapped the iron heart on her chestplate "Which clan? You look ready for a good fight, you too Alpha." Mairéad flipped her braided hair inside her suit and clicked her helmet into place, watching as the HUD lit up giving her full visual as if she wasn't even wearing it.

The shuttle landed and Mairéad walked out with the others, her scattergun was on her back but she had her FDS-F4 I'm her hand. The dreamsight switched modes to give her better vision in the squall. She was ready to defend the Capo and her team effectively, but for now she remained quiet in the shadows, deactivating her armours shield systems to reduce her light signature.

The team carried on up the alleyway between two large structures, they couldn't land right on top of the target in order to maintain discretion so there would be a little walk to get there. Her HUD pinged as it detected motion ahead of them. "Dogs" she said as she raised her fist to stop the team and watch the contact move past, two dogs and a humanoid handler walked on the other side of chain link fence that closed off a brief gap in the side of the alleyway. It looked like a fairly standard patrol, no sign of alarm.

Once the target had moved on, she gave the signal for them to progress.

She'd been searching for a specific being when she'd been recruited for The Family. The one wearing the blatantly fancy armor with the gizmos and doodads that whizzed and popped if you paid too close attention to the electronic hum about the suit. It made her irritable being in an enclosed space with its own set of noises.

The others inside, the droid and semi-biological, at least they were quieter in their own way. Even if the droid kept glancing about.

Thr cigarra was a welcome smell however as she lit one of her own for the ride. Silver reflecting the orange glow as she fiddled with a knife. The briefing passing quickly after earpiece went on. The door opened and everyone moved out. Her gaze lingered on the armored one before getting back on track.

This was a job after all. Personal matters could wait till after.

Drawing one of her smaller blades, she kept the other hand free for the moment. Following behind at the signal, she only paused when everyone else paused. If they were going to deal with security, wouldn't it make sense to deal with some of them now?

She squinted through the rain, leaning to stare at the helmeted figure ahead in the skin suit. Severely hoping this wouldn't be the trend for the entire trip inside.

They began moving again, her senses expanding as she drew upon old magic to supplement what was already there. It didn't help much in the rain.

Aside from the wet hound smell that dominated her nostrils. The bodies moving around inside however drew her attention. Seemed a mass migration of some sort was happening, sensing only a portion from their spot along the shadowy spot.

Now how to report it.

"Keep eye on corners. Lunch or break time." She offered, hoping it made sense.

Kardek Alpha · Oct 14, 2022

Strike Team Hunter

Mairéad Solus

Jenzid Channsalj

A few moments earlier…

"Good to see you again…"

Mairéad Solus said with a smile, which honestly caught Kardek a bit off guard considering the shenanigans he had pulled during their first encounter. It was good to know that she seemed willing to move forward in a professional capacity. He nodded and for a brief moment softened his intense focus, showing a warm and receptive countenance. "I never knew you? Which clan? You look ready for a good fight, you too Alpha." She gestured towards her own Mandalorian armor. Kardek looked at her silently for a moment, as if contemplating how to respond. He was never one to openly share about his past, or much of anything for that matter beyond the typical polished banter and front that he expressed to those around him. He then looked down towards his own chest armor which carried no emblem of any kind, then nodded as if he had come to a conclusion.

"This is my clan now." He said, turning towards Alpha and slapping him fondly on his shoulder, causing Alpha to whirr pleasantly at the thought, shifting his frame slightly as he looked from Kardek to Mairéad and offered her a small and friendly wave. Then, Alpha remembered the comment Mairéad had made about thinking they were a couple. He quickly made a metallic coughing sound, holding his metal hand up to his nonexistent mouth as he subtly pushed himself slightly further away from Kardek, not ever wanting to give anyone such an idea ever again. Kardek broke into a wide smile for a split second at this, turning back to Mairéad and giving her a subtle wink.

"Good to see you again." He was about to ask her a question in return regarding her clan, however it was about that time that the back of the shuttle opened. Kardek glanced back at the other rather quiet member of their team (

Jenzid Channsalj ) and gave her a nod of acknowledgement as he stood up…

In the present…

Kardek had detected the motion as well though his cybernetic scanners, the two of them stopping with the others and pushing further into the shadows as they began to pass in front of them. "Don't mind if I…" Kardek said softly as he extended his left arm, holstering the weapon in his other hand quietly as he hit a few buttons on his vambrace. A tiny device was quietly released into the air, quickly rising above them and disappearing almost instantly from visual sight. Kardek focused, using his cybernetic enhancements to direct the tracking beacon until it attached itself ever so quietly to the helmet of the guard, the rain drowning out any possible sound that the small device might have emitted. Success. The guard and the dogs moved away completely unaware. Kardek would now be able to track the unit's whereabouts, which might come in handy when they were attempting to make their escape later on. "Perfect." He whispered.

As they continued their approach,

Jenzid Channsalj shared some information she had obtained, "Keep eye on corners. Lunch or break time." Kardek looked over at them, a little curious regarding what kind of tech she was sporting. He would have to ask her later. Whatever it was… he wanted one.

They were now approaching the entrance. Kardek looked over towards

Dedata | Celty Ree ... "Any specific way you want us to make entry?" He asked. He was a bit surprised to see them leading towards the front, assuming their role would be that of the slicer that they would be protecting. He wasn't sure who exactly was taking point on Strike Team Hunter… Normally he would assume leadership, however Mairéad seemed to be thinking the exact same thing… and so with Dedata heading in right along side them, he decided it was probably best that he submit himself to Dedata's direction.

Nyx N1X3 · Oct 15, 2022

Team Datamine

Nyx turned her red eyes on the Caporegime that offered an earpiece to her. It only took a split second before they gave the humanoid-looking droid a second look and decided the awkward silence was more than enough response, and they moved on. Most importantly, Nyx's cranial unit lacked an ear canal for such a thing to be of any utility. Rather, her scan on the device had acquired the necessary correspondence information to tap in for secure communication.

Naturally, the droid was quite calm seeing how Nyx possessed the ability to activate her emotional subroutines at will. Now was not the time to feign anxiety. She did, however, allow her servos to float giving her dark exterior a bit of 'sway' aboard the ship. Organics responded better when you weren't an unnaturally motionless automaton occupying space -- more statue than 'living' being. Nyx at least made sure even in chop her metal body didn't plow into anyone.

Once the shuttle was in position, the door was opened to reveal the wet exterior. Nyx didn't balk at the scene. So long as her chassis was not compromised the water would be of no concern. It would be rather bothersome when it came to target acquisition, but the Family strike team was counting on that for their approach. A screen that worked both ways; ideally better for their purposes rather than hunting their opposition.

As they emerged, Nyx's gaze regarded that of

Kardek Alpha . A pair that looked ready to engage in combat. Nyx was especially curious about Alpha's programming. What kind of Electronic Intelligence was it? How far had its evolution progressed? Hopefully it was not still confined by the initial programming of its creator or owner. A thought that was only emphasized based on Alpha's... unusual behavior following Kardek slapping it on the shoulder. Certainly not the behavior of a factory-issued programming.

Given Nyx wasn't an ingrained member of this criminal unit, she stood with Team Datamine. A function Nyx felt quite comfortable in holding with a responsibility suited to a droid like herself. New data was always welcome. Her processing power and experience in similar operations should prove quite valuable in making a thorough and timely report on whatever they found. Naturally, Nyx would also gladly keep a copy of what they found in her own database for its own thorough analysis -- on-site or after mission completion, depending on how much of her resources were needed for combat as a result of unforeseen circumstances.

As such, Nyx followed behind Team Hunter up ahead as the mission parameters requested. She could have easily performed both duties until inside the computer system, but she couldn't deny a strict separation of role allowed the Family to maintain control of their operation. If nothing else, the assassin/clandestine operations droid would protect the other members of Team Datamine should the enemy manage to slip by Team Hunter.

Before

War profiteers. People who made weapons of mass destruction, and sold them to the highest bidder. Typically scum of which he had large amounts of displeasure in interacting with. But he could not fault them - for it was merely in the nature of such folk to do so. Hell, it was at one point in his nature, though in that case he was the weapon being sold to the highest bidder. Not anymore. He decided to join this mission to finally feel like he was doing something a tad more meaningful with his skills. Something aside from senseless bloodshed. No, this time, he wished for a purpose that was beyond that. Busting what sounded like a horrid facility that took advantage of the unfortunate only to make their lives more miserable, seemed like a good step in helping the people who lived here.

He was once again under the alias of ‘Gorian’ for this mission. He was never one for slicing, only the utilization of tools to complete a task that would get him past security systems. Instead, ‘Gorian’ opted for what he was best at - defending others when the going got rough. Whilst Strike Team Hunter was an option, it was better suited for a swift and stealthy approach - and the latter was not his forte. The powersuit he brought did not exactly scream ‘swift and stealthy’, and though it boasted some capabilities in both, he deemed it would be more of a liability if he tried to test its capabilities there. He didn’t know if there were others assigned with his team, but he was assigned the task of taking the rear of the group as they made their foray inside - letting them do the infiltration and following as they forged the path ahead. Instead, his task was to aid in covering their extraction and deal with company that was perhaps a certainty as the mission progressed. He had no issues if he was the only one covering their escape - the armament carried with him was enough for a small squad.

The armored individual’s form shifted constantly as the ship rumbled about in its descent. Camouflage on his armor and equipment were preemptively activated, making it a tad difficult to tell his form apart from the hull as he ran a quick systems diagnostic through his AI Assistant to ensure all things were prepared before he went into the thick of it. His grip was around a bar on the top of the ship for balance (Though the armor made it somewhat unnecessary), speaking barely at all since boarding, only quietly observing the others that would be accompanying. The familiar faces of

Kardek Alpha , and a voice of which he recognized as

Mairéad Solus beneath the Mandalorian armor. Seeing said familiar design of the armor made him somewhat wary out of habit, though his thoughts were closely guarded by the repeated clicks of loading a gun in his mind. He was curious how the other former Bounty Hunter would perform in combat - making note of the camaraderie between him and Alpha, with a bit of an amused smile hidden by the helmet at the sight and words exchanged. Though, he noticed something was a tad..off about Kardek's usual look. As if a façade, so often broadcasting an air of confidence and cunning, fell away to reveal but a shell of that. Brow furrowed at this, as it seemed there was more to the gunslinger than he let on at the social gatherings. There was also another pair of faces he had not seen before, being an equally quiet woman (

Jenzid Channsalj ), and a droid of curious model and make (

Nyx N1X3 ). He would not disturb them, nor anyone else for that matter, as he listened along to what he could - integrating the earpiece in his helmet in an isolated section of sorts, so that it would not be likely to infiltrate the rest of the closely-guarded equipment later.

Now

The man was careful in his movements, only moving when the coast was clear and he was sure he would not disturb the others in their objectives. Following behind the droid apart of Team Datamine, at the very back of the cadre, his sensors were at work to ensure the patrols would not rotate around. He could verify the woman’s guess at Lunch or Dinner, for he too noticed a large mess of motion within the compound, though it would’ve been unnecessary to repeat her words. Surprisingly, his movements were swifter and lighter than the armor would have one believe, making barely any noise save to those who were close to him, thanks to his Sound Dampening Belt. He knew it would come in handy sooner or later. Pressed close to the shadowy alleyways with his armor shifting with the environment, he trailed behind the rest with a watchful vigil.

Saraiya Darkstar · Oct 16, 2022

Team Datamine

Gear -

Man, this just kept getting weirder and weirder for Saraiya. Not that long ago, she was hauling backside on her swoopbike through the 1313 back on Coruscant with Ragos clutching to her for dear life. Then, she's right in the middle of the the oddest meeting she'd ever been in. A seven foot tall green Twi'lek, a huge dog-looking guy in a suit, and a whole lot of posturing, fancy suits and outfits, and even more double-speak than a toydarian trying to peddle half-dead womp-rats as pets. Now, she'd been somehow roped into this whole 'let's go find some crazy proto-tech and klep it!'.

She sighed lightly, preferring to keep herself slightly separated from the group she was with. Of course, she was still new to this type of chit, and as a result, she wasn't exactly carrying the right gear, or at least she didn't think so. Last she checked, there wasn't a 'Criminal Type Adventure Outfitters' kind of place nearby. The suit she wore was form fitting, her usual racing leathers. Though, they weren't the typical leathers, not by a longshot. Special gift from the same crew that re-fit her swoopbike, and it was just full of surprises, she had been finding out as of late.

Adjusting the jacket she wore over the black & fuchsia riding suit, she tapped on bottom jaw-section of her helmet, the datapad's hologram appearing on the H.U.D. She wasn't exactly sure why she was coming along save the fact that apparently, word got out she was pretty handy with a spanner and soldering iron. As she listened to the VI brief, she pulled out her blaster pistol, and made sure it had a fully charged pack. She had an extra with her, just to be safe, but it was these other leg-breaker's job to keep her hindquarters firmly attached to her frame.

As the rest filed out quickly and quietly after the shuttle touched down, she followed the droid in front of her. She recognized her, as well as the others save one, from that meeting they had a little while back. Didn't really know them all that well, but she was always of the mind that if you wanted to get to know someone, you'd know all you need to once you got knee-deep into the chit with them. And she had this sinking feeling that they would be knee-deep soon enough.

"Hey, uh...Nyx, right? I'm gonna stick close to you, I got a feeling we are about to see some wild chit tonight..."

Yeah, get in, klep the proto-tech & schematics, and get out. Simple, right?

Never that simple. Never.

Trouble Finds Trouble - Paul Leonard-Morgan

As the team moved forward Dedata could feel the heavy rain pound against the skin tight bodysuit, if it was not for the materials she'd be soaked through already. The woman was surprised to get as many hands available for this as she did and a few that had began to make a name for themselves in the organization, even the bar guy

Samuel Exel had came along. It was safe to say she was eager to see how the man performed. Eyes kept trained forwards to where they was advancing with a quick glance every few seconds at the motion sensors.

Just as three blips pinged Mai had beaten the Capo to warning the other. The woman slowed to a stop and got lower as her HUD outlined the security patrol as they passed by. She had taken notice of the initiative from Kardek sending out a tracker, No doubt the defence team would have to deal with them later. It was to much a risk to cause commotion at the moment and it was the best idea to let them pass.

Mairéad Solus knew her stuff, being a Mandalorian that was expected.

Dedata turned her head as Kardek asked his question. Against her way of doing things she still smirked that was hidden behind an visor that glowed a dim blood orange hue. "We are going in the front entrance Kardak, contrary to the approach this is not a stealth mission. Just best to surprise them at the front door than skirmish our way up. These people have the advantage of the land. They know it better than any of us shortcuts and the lot. All goes to plan I hope for hard while taking the rug from below their feet.

"

The team was about 60 meters away from the entrance that had a long row of turnstiles and a small enclosed kiosk in the center. "Okay close enough to sprint for it from this point on, weapons hot. Alpha and Mairéad, you two take point Kardek and Jenzid keep tight behind watch your sides. Rest of us will follow behind. When we are at the entrance Mai I want to you lead the hunters. Kilo and Tera will watch out backs. Gorian, you will be paired with Reaper to watch your back, get a good position kay.

"

Dedata held her hand out and counting down from five with her fingers before signaling to sprint. She would wait for the hunter team to advance before sprinting herself with the rest of Team Datamine and her two bodyguards.

Several guards stood smoking and huddled by the kiosk under the thick concrete canopy of the entrance. Their eyes kept a look out into the dark side of the path that was illuminated with lights moments ago. Between them they tried to theorise what caused them to black out. Yet non of them made any attempts to check it out. Given the rain it was clear staying dry was more important than doing their job. To them it was an easy job with a fat paycheck it was easy to feign ignorance in a district that always seemed quiet. No uniform can cover up the blood stained hands of a bunch of corporate goons. As the hunter team got closer the low illuminating lights casted the outline of the security guards.

"Think I see something out there." One man spoke leaning side to side and squinted his eyes.

"Probably a patrole, if you're that worried go check it out."

"By myself, not a chance. Heard a guy went for a little wonder last week and one of those dogs caught his scent. Know where he is now? Hospital. No way I am goin down like that. Besides that is some... There again." This time he pointed out a quick glint of metal reflecting light. The security guard clicked off the tab of his holster and held tight onto the weapon while tossing his Cigarette out into the downpour.

The others seeing their colleague spooked began to draw their blasters as all of them now was gazing into the dark.

Mairéad waited for the signal from

Dedata | Celty Ree before beginning to run, picking up speed and activating the shields build into her armour for added protection. This was the last moment she would be unseen. She lifted her left hand and her stun gauntlet launched its miniature projectiles, putting one of the guards unconscious in a single shot. Her other hand flicked out and instantly the sheets of rain froze and became hundreds of shards of hardened ice blasting towards two more of the guards, one of shouted as frozen blades whipped across his face, cutting into his skin and blinding him, he dropped to the floor bleeding from a cut in his throat. Another was lucky enough to pull his arm up in front of his vulnerable facial area. He managed to prevent the lacerations from the ice, but on turn had blinded himself from the approach of the rest of the hunting team. Fully half of the guard team were incapacitated either permanently or temporarily, and they had barely had time to get a shot off.

One of them did however manage to take a shot at the mandalorian, whose armour sparked as blaster bolts glanced off of her pauldrons. She looked back af the assailant, grinning under her helmet, knowing that guard would likely be next.

The rain belted down on the group, the storm was worsening and thunder rolled through the sky, it may even be enough to drown out the worst of the fighting. Seeing the man she had lacerated was still struggling to die, she did him a quick mercy by popping a couple of mag rounds into him from her wrist blaster, she was not a monster.

She'd simply nodded when the orders were given. Two on point, two supporting. The rest to follow behind. An easy enough plan that likely wouldn't entirely survive given the rather boisterous greeting they were preparing to give.

But she wasn't being paid to plan, just work.

Letting the obvious leader take point, Jen watched in silence from the shadowy spot as the guards drew their weapons, her knife a flash in the dark. Mai took a running start to the assembled group of guards and she couldn't help but smirk at the sight.

Was that how she dealt with all of her problems? Running in head first with armor to keep her hide saved?

It amused her a little thinking about the troubles Mai had left behind her as a guard pivoted to take aim. The eyepatch flipped up, a green laced silver eye sparkling briefly as murmurs escaped her lips.

Brackish green slipped out from beneath the guards feet to snare their hands as Jen turned her attention to the door, where her other eye focused through. Behind the door turned translucent, faces turned their way, and Jen scowled.

"More alert. Breach quick." She announced, more brackish green whisps of dathomir magick clinging to the feet of the remaining guards outside as her eye began to burn.

One she pulled down to the ground directly, dragging his form into the shadows beneath her hand.

Nyx N1X3 · Oct 24, 2022

Team Datamine

Nyx turned her cranial unit to the side as

Saraiya Darkstar confessed a certain level of apprehension about the upcoming assignment. Having worked alongside organics for some time, which allowed her to develop a sophisticated (though not perfected) organic-simulation module, the droid understood what the young woman was saying. It was not something Nyx could 'feel,' but the logic behind the emotion was not in question. There was an ancient saying, 'Even the best-laid plans do not survive contact with the enemy.'

"I assure you that I will take every action to ensure your extraction." Almost every action. See, Nyx understood hyperbole. Killing everyone else accompanying them just to save Saraiya wouldn't be quite so well received, would it? So, not literally 'every action.'

The red optics turned in

Dedata | Celty Ree 's direction next as the woman started laying down an attack plan. In short order, the droid turned back to Saraiya once more and gave the woman a silent thumbs up gesture as the countdown began. If she engaged the holoveil a smile would have been possible, but such a frivilous use of holo-optics at the cusp of a mission start was not in her programming -- there was only so far Nyx would emulate organics.

Much like

Samuel Exel and his dampening belt, the full-metal droid in their company was surprising silent as the group began to move. The construction of her feet, some sound absorption material, and the precise utilization of mathematics enabled the shocking quiet movement for a droid. Still, even Nyx could make use of sound dampeners from time to time for when even the smallest noise had to be muffled -- she wasn't a ghost.

Though, if any of the guards slipped through the Hunter team's net, they might well wish Nyx were a figment of their imaginations. There were no qualms about 'silencing' opposition resources if the mission parameters held no preference. Seeing how others present weren't holding back, the parameters of the mission with regard to witnesses and well-being of others seemed pretty well established.

Saraiya Darkstar

As

Dedata | Celty Ree gave instructions, Kardek winced slightly at the fact that him and Alpha would not be taking point together. He nodded at Alpha, who nodded back in return, receiving permission from the gunslinger to move forward without him.

The assassin droid activated his adaptive camouflage which quickly took on the lighting and textures of his surroundings, reducing visibility to others by at least 80%. Alpha raised his heavy repeater cannon with the energy cell strapped to his back and began to move quickly alongside

Mairéad Solus , creating enough space in-between the two of them so that any enemy fire would not pose any risk to the members of the team behind them. Alpha noted Mai's attack strategy, bringing his cannon higher and preparing to fire at the exact moment that her projectiles would strike the first guard. As soon as her hits landed, the darkness lit up around Alpha with a loud and brilliant stream of fire, the attack making an arc pattern across the front of the door…

BRAA-BRAA-BRAA-BRAA-BRAA-BRAA

The remaining guards who had not suffered under the hand of Mai and

Jenzid Channsalj were flung up against the sealed doors from the deadly impacts, their bodies suffering multiple penetrations as they fell lifelessly to the ground. Alpha slowed as the two of them approached the door, Alpha with cannon still raised as it quickly pointed from one enemy to the other, checking to make sure they were all truly incapacitated.

As Mai provided a mercy to the last remaining guard, Alpha looked at her and offered a nod. They were good to go. He lowered his weapon, knowing that Mai would have his back should any unforeseen situation arise, quickly moving towards one of the downed guards and removing their key card from their pocket. He looked it over for a second, tilting his head in observation. Yes… this should be rather simple indeed.

The assassin droid approached the security consul and was about to swipe the card when he observed that it would require a security code to be entered as well. Hmm… not as simple... since they were all clearly dead. "More alert. Breach quick." Jenzid said. He responded by tossing the card on the ground carelessly and lowering his metallic hand as an access port exposed itself. He entered the access port into the consul, twisting and turning it as he attempted to hack the system. This should only take a few moments, he thought. As soon as the doors would open, he knew that Mai would be ready for whatever might be behind the door…

He would have preferred to keep a low profile. His armor wasn't that cumbersome-looking to opt for such a strategy, was it? Or was the plan merely always going to turn out like this? No matter, he mused to himself, for the end-result would be the same as long as none realized the identities of this crew. An issue he did not quite realize the rest already deigned a solution to: summary execution. That didn't quite sit right with him, but now was not the time for complaints. 'Corpos', as he now knew the slang they were called by (typically from Denon, though it was seemingly popularized for the galaxy at large), didn't always have the cleanest of hands from what he heard. Doubted the ones working under War Profiteers were much different.

He did not participate in Mairead's frontal assault, for his weapons were rather prone to noise pollution. Instead, he once again took the opportunity to observe what he could of his co-workers. Mairead's tech earned intrigue, though it was shortly sullened by what could've been a brutal display of guards getting lacerated, throats slashed, and dragged by otherworldly forces. The green hue of Magick surprised him, for he had only heard tell of such a thing from an encounter Ela had, and nothing more. Efforts to hide his mind redoubled, just in case. So many Forcies, lately, all of intriguing and unique capabilities he had seldom encountered - if ever. Perhaps he should look into some better hardware, because it was only an eventuality at this rate he'd encounter one that would be once again in his opposition. With the payout of this job, that would be more feasible. Alpha's assault only strengthened the point that this was by no means a stealth mission any longer.

He was told to go with the Chiss woman, Reaper, in which the two only exchanged a passing glance of acknowledgement for the other, bearing no words as they veered off from Team Hunter, for none were needed. Finding a vantage point was easy, as his system's scanners began to gleam a bird's eye view of the place from the newly found perch. Atop a nearby building that he ascended to through an access way. Hand-cannon was slid out of his holster as he stepped up to the roof, as it was then he noticed several security teams - of which they let pass by earlier, only to cause this very loud mess - coming back with brisk strides to investigate the scene. Helmet's optics narrowed, zero'd in through Electro binoculars. Suppressor was affixed to the weapon, before it was leveled with a steady hand and gaze, tracing their movements.

Reaper was doing similarly, shifting down with a crouch as her keen gaze scanned over the area, only to spare an annoyed glance sidelong to Gorian. "What are you doing?" Scoffed the Chiss woman. "You're using the wrong weapon. Let the professional handle this." Crass, as she, too, leveled her rifle at the encroaching crowd of security, flicking the setting to 'Long Range.' A sidearm was no reasonable weapon to be using for long-ranges - let alone one that didn't seem to have much more than iron sights. "Watch me." Gave the armored individual in stubborn reply, as his own setting was flicked. With a squeeze of a trigger, a whisper-quiet Verpine Shatter Dart flew through the air with frightening speed, only to embed itself with surprising precision into the neck of the soldier, in which he faltered in the middle of step, falling flat on his face as he was electrocuted into unconsciousness. Despite the situation, he wasn't going to be killing anyone, yet - that unconsciousness would've lasted the entire day. This only served to further annoy the Chiss Assassin due to the inefficiency of bothering to leave them alive at all. With ease, she merely placed another shot on the next member of the patrol - most certainly on a lethal setting - as their head whipped back from being shot, their body following them to the ground. One shot after the other by each alternating person, patrol teams that were originally on the outside of the compound were picked off on their way to the commotion at the entrance.
A pair of guards rounded the corner into Strike Team Hunter's view, but the first received a Verpine Dart to the neck, his head whipping back before the rest of his body followed to the ground as it was electrocuted, and the second received a clean blaster bolt through to his helm, practically ragdolling his body down on onto the pavement through the momentum of their unfinished step, now lifeless. After that, most, if not all, of the encroaching patrols outside had been dealt with by the two overwatching individuals before they ever even neared the to-be insertion point that was the entrance of the complex.

Saraiya's Gear -

Man, this wasn't what she had in mind when they said she'll see some action yet. Honestly, she wasn't built for this kind of thing, no matter how many times her Aunty Esty told her otherwise. She fixed stuff, built swoopbikes and speeders. Sure, she had built her very own blaster, and it was a karking good one too. But she wasn't strapped to the teeth like those she was with. But as soon as DeData put her hand in the air, hell broke loose. That's when the one in the armor that looked like a Mando got into some neon paints started making the rain somehow freeze into long shards. Sara blinked once or twice at that, kind of taken aback.

"What in the ever-loving feth??"

She'd of course seen all the same holos everyone her age would have seen. The popular stuff, about Jedi and Sith and all that space magic jazz. Just never thought she'd see it point blank in front of her like that. If that's what it even was that Mairead girl was doing. As she looked around, she noticed some sort of greenish looking fog or mist rising up beneath another pair of guard's feet. Her eyes just seemed to get twice as big as she saw this unfold. All right, the rain into ice thing, sure, could be some sort of hence-yet-unknown weapon, but that?! That's just straight up space magic of some kind. Ok, Sarai, you've seen some strange chit, just go with it. Now isn't the time she thought as they began to move forward into the building.

This was definitely a first for the young Coruscanti, she'd only ever been in street-gang shootouts and other minor league stuff. This was like going to war with a private army in front of her. Double-checking the charge meter on the Blossom one last time, she kept herself as shrouded by darkness as was possible. Let the professionals do what they do, Sarai. Just breath, and let them work. Although, mental note: next time just offer to be the wheelman. Less... blastery, I bet.
