I can take off, landing not so much. . . Do you want to wait for Brock or go to the party? Clear the ship of pirates along the way?
As they make their way aft towards the shuttle's cargo bay or passenger area where the captives are being held, Faina continuing to project the outward appearance of a captive herself all the while to allay suspicions for as long as possible, she lays out her plan to Panno; the plan being a relatively simple ruse that she hopes will make eliminating any pirates with the captives swiftly and silently possible.
Reaching the area in the shuttle where the captives are being held, Panno leads Faina towards the largest group of pirates clustered together and, when they are near to them, Faina pretends to panic and try to bolt free from Panno, who in turn pretends to struggle to prevent her from doing so in order to, they hope, draw the attention of the pirates and, if they are very lucky indeed, get some to come to help Panno with his faux panicked prisoner. As any pirates move to help Panno, or when it seems that all attention is on the pretend pirate struggling with his pretend prisoner, Faina and Panno drop their act and, drawing and igniting their silver hued lightsabers in unison while moving back to back so that they can better prevent themselves from being attacked from a blind side, launch their attack on the pirates guarding the prisoners, each engaging the pirate or pirates nearest to them with brutal swiftness and the intent to end the conflict without drawing the attention of the pilot and any other crew . . . |

Karrus nodded. "Thank you once more. I'll be sure to keep my nose out of trouble. For now, at least."
He placed his lightsaber near a heat sink at the ship's 'business end', hoping to make it dry out quicker, and sat down. It was the first quiet moment he had had in a while, and closed his eyes as the shuttle's engines began purring.

Above Mastigophorous - Bothan Assault Carrier: GenesisStanding on the bridge of the Genesis, as the Bothan Assault Carrier plowed it's way down into the planet's atmosphere, Vice Admiral Hargrave of the Galactic Alliance Fifth Fleet began issuing orders."Alert @specops and have Havoc Squad prepare for ground-side operations! Arm all countermeasures and prepare to make a hot extraction from here! And get me a line to Midnight Squad! Now!"In the last few months, the Alliance had went from a tentative, uneasy peace with the First Order to all out war for their very survival. With the First Order moving on Dathomir, the Alliance was gathering over Mon Calamari to take stock in their remaining ships, soldiers and supplies, as well as gearing up for an assault from the First Order that was surely coming, regardless of what the other members of Alliance High Command actually believed. Hargrave had lived this once before, so he was probably one of the few to see what was happening. The systematic slaughter of the Alliance. And then there was Midnight Squad, trapped on the surface with a high value target, being assaulted by pirates, of all things. Undoubtedly, the First Order's Imperial Knights weren't too far behind. An undercover Intelligence Agent was one helluva find, especially right now. There was no way the First Order would allow an asset like that to remain in captivity for too long before sending the best they had to extract them. If Hargrave and his men could get to the high value target and Midnight Squad fast enough, perhaps they could extract before the First Order truly caught on, otherwise they wouldn't be getting far. Reviewing the tactical holo-map before him, Hargrave watched as a Dreadnaught-Class Heavy Cruiser blipped onto their scanners, holding position over the space port."Engines, get us in range of that Cruiser. Comms, prep for transmission. Weapons, stand by and prepare for enemy contact. I have a sneaking suspicion this Dreadnaught isn't here to help us."After receiving several 'aye sirs' from his bridge crew, the comms officer spoke up."Sir. I have Major Dexter on the line."Nodding, he replied in kind."Patch him through."As the Comms officer patched Major Dexter of Havoc Squad through to him, Hargrave immediately barked orders.@specops , prepare to extract our men from the surface, along with a high value target. Get in, get out and do what you do best. I'm counting on you big time for this one, son. Show 'em what Havoc Squad is made of."As the Genesis came into range of the Heavy Cruiser over the starport, Hargrave nodded to the Comms Officer as the line was opened.Attention unidentified heavy cruiser bearing seven-three-four carom two-eight-niner holding steady, this is Alliance warship Genesis approaching on your starboard flank. State your intentions or you will be fired upon. You have two minutes to comply.Nodding to the Comms Officer, he spoke once more, addressing the crew."We are weary, ragged and at the breaking point. But let's just do this by the book and go home for some well deserved R 'n R. Comms, replay that message until the time's up. Weapons, acquire target lock. Safeties off. The second that timer hits zero, we open up on them. I'm not taking any chances here."As another round of 'aye-sirs' rang out, Hargrave folded his hands behind his back and observed the holo-map, hoping he wouldn't have to fire upon the heavy cruiser ahead of them. |

Sizing up the man before him, Maric grinned at his remark about him being a Sith."An Imperial Knight? I'm flattered. Clearly the Emperor sees my value, otherwise he wouldn't have sent you to collect me...I am Avernus Maric, Imperial Intelligence and Sith. At your service, Brock Ferrum, Imperial Knight."Bowing in an excessively grand and exaggerated fashion, the Pau'an Sith stood up straight and peered over the edge of the building at the pirates below."As much as I am not one to shy away from a fight, my extraction from this dreadful world is more important than dealing with these...mongrels. I trust you have an escape route planned, yes?"While formidable in a fight, Avernus was more reliant on subterfuge and stealth, rather than brute strength. One of the many reasons the Sith'ari had planted him within Imperial Intelligence to begin with. And even if the pirates weren't overly coordinated or tactically minded, their sheer numbers made up for their lack of strategy, which, with one misstep could prove fatal to them, despite the combined might of their abilities. |

Despite having been trained to keep his thoughts hidden, Maric is able to glean the barely contained hatred towards him. Clearly it stemmed from something much deeper, however, now was not the time to investigate deeper. Placing his saber on his belt once more, the Pau'an Sith followed the Imperial Knight step for step as they jumped from rooftop to roof top, avoiding the pirates below. Unfortunately, an Alliance transport soared overhead. Filled with soldiers, no doubt. Clearly he was worth something to someone. Not that it mattered now. Jogging alongside the Knight, he spoke as he indicated to the transport.
"Might I suggest we find some cover and get off the rooftops? Poorly trained pirates are one thing. Alliance soldiers are another all together..."
Clearly the idea was to get off planet before they were pinned down by either the pirates or the Alliance. Hopefully this Knight was smarter than he looked and had a way off planet planned out. Otherwise this was going to be a very short rescue...

As they make their way aft towards the shuttle's cargo bay or passenger area where the captives are being held, Faina continuing to project the outward appearance of a captive herself all the while to allay suspicions for as long as possible, she lays out her plan to Panno; the plan being a relatively simple ruse that she hopes will make eliminating any pirates with the captives swiftly and silently possible.
Reaching the area in the shuttle where the captives are being held, Panno leads Faina towards the largest group of pirates clustered together and, when they are near to them, Faina pretends to panic and try to bolt free from Panno, who in turn pretends to struggle to prevent her from doing so in order to, they hope, draw the attention of the pirates and, if they are very lucky indeed, get some to come to help Panno with his faux panicked prisoner.

Taking great pains not to harm any of the innocents Panno broke the back to back cover with Fiana and dived blocking a stray bolt that would have struck one of the prisoners. Whipping his slightly curved lightsaber towards the bolt it hit a exposed cable filling the room with smoke and steam. Behind him the screams of the innocent people finally started now that they began to process the violence that had suddenly erupted. Started screaming a little too late. The few pirates that had been in the hold were defeated without much issue.
Rolling onto his stomach Panno thumbed off the lightsaber and looked at the woman who he had saved. Clearly terrified it had not yet crossed her mind how close she had come to being dead. Despite being part of the opposing nation these were the type of people he had been trained to protect. Innocents. They were the reason for the war in the first place. After countless years of fighting the First Order had fought hard to bring protection to people like her. Hopefully some day she would be under the protection of the Empire. Standing up he looked over at his Grand master and nodded.To the pilots next? The fact that he had arrived with these people meant very little to him. They were a tool like any other to be used and thrown away when they had outgrown their usefulness. The galaxy would be better off without them. One less bully. |

Faina nods, agreeing with Panno that the dealing with the shuttle's pilots is the next obstacle to be surmounted, and, after taking a moment to reassure the prisoners that they are here to see that they are freed from captivity and to entreat them to stay as quiet as possible, joins her fellow Imperial Knight in rushing for the cockpit.
Midway to the cockpit Faina and Panno meet the pilot and co-pilot, alerted by the blaster fire that had accompanied the brief battle in the cargo bay, running with blasters in hand towards where the prisoners had been held. One of the pirates gets a shot off before Faina can close the distance between them, and she surprises herself as much as, very briefly, the pirate when she lifts her silver hued lightsaber in front of her to block the blaster bolt and, instead, deflects it right back at the pirate pilot. As the pilot spins with a smoking hole where his face had been and collapses to the ground, his companion killed when, after cutting off his forearm before he can fire his blaster, Panno stabs him through the chest.
Not knowing how much time they might have if the sound of blaster fire had been heard outside of the shuttle, Faina continues on towards the cockpit with Panno, telling the Dressalian, "Time to find out whether or not you can fly this thing, my friend."

Bothan Assault Carrier - Genesis. Above Mastigophorous.Failing to even respond to the warning, the carrier fired upon the Dreadnaught-Class Heavy Cruiser holding position above Mastigophorous' starport. As the shots impacted, return fire answered them. The ship shuddered under the barrage. Hargrave issued orders."Hit 'em again! These pirates DO NOT get to thumb their nose at the Alliance. Knock that Dreadnaught out of the sky!"As the ship fired again, the pirate vessel returned fire once more. And so, the skirmish had begun, between the Alliance and these pirates. |

Sitting down in the pilot seat Panno thought back to the lessons he had been taught years before. This ship was totally different with dozens of different buttons, nozzles, and switches. None of them looked remotely the same to what he had been used to. For a few seconds the weight of the situation started to weigh on him and he felt overwhelmed. Sighing heavily Panno rubbed his face before flipping the first switch. Although he couldn't see it the ramp closed with a hiss of steam. Firing up the engines the ship flew close to the rooftops
This isn't very fun Fiana can we find Brock and get out of here?
Keeping the ships comms on the same frequency as the pirates he could hear they were also pulling out. Hopefully those left behind would include their leader as Zeckkar was truly one of the most vile creatures Panno had ever met. Skirting the rooftops Panno ran into more than a few non permanent items made of wood or other flimsy materials causing them to fall into the streets below.
Following the chaos left in the street by the pirates Panno hoped that Brock hadn't strayed to far from the same path and would be able to get to them.

Faina, cringing as a loud wailing and scraping noise accompanies the destruction of yet another something protruding from atop one of the buildings Panno pilots the ship over, agrees with Panno's suggestion that they find Brock and, provided his extraction of their target has proven successful, complete their mission, "Good idea," and then closes her eyes and focuses to try and ascertain Brock's location by searching for his presence within the currents of the Force.
After a few moments, her bond with Brock strong enough that she is able to gain a sense of where he is in relation to their present position as well as pick up on the telepathic message he sends out to her. Maintaining the connection that is made between their minds when Brock's thoughts reach her as she searches for his presence, Faina assures him that she and Panno are inbound for his location while gently suggesting that he set his hatred for the Sith, a hatred she shares and understands all too well given her views are aligned with her friends where Darksiders and their inclusion in the First Order are in perfect alignment, aside so it does not distract him from their mission.
Pointing to the east, where a large enough street intersection that Panno should be able to set the ship down without too much trouble can be seen near to where she had sensed Brock's presence, Faina tells Panno, "Set us down there," while sending an image of the intersection and its surroundings to Brock so that he knows where they will be setting down so that he can begin making his way to it.

Seeing the intersection he tried his best to set the ship down with lots of room beside them and the buildings. Instead the side with the ramp was a little to close to one of the buildings, after depressing the button to open them back up more scraping could be heard as the edge moved down the side of the building leaving enough room for a single person to move if their back was pressed to the wall.
This might be the only chance to free the prisoners unless we plan on taking them with us.

John and Cipher finished sweeping the nearby building and escorted the a small group of injured civilians and wounded Alliance soldiers back towards the LZ. Shadow and Racket defended the LZ and made sure that the wounded and injured made it to the shuttle unharmed, Once John and Cipher made it back with the last group, Shadow made his way back from his sniping spot. John made sure that all of the injured and wounded were aboard before giving the shuttle the all clear. John and the rest of Havoc squad would hold the LZ until the shuttle returned for them.
