While Falin's squad continued along the ruined streets and side-alleyways, the other two teams pushed forward through the city. The treks were slow and tedious, as each team had to move through the wreckage and keep an ever vigilant eye out for hostiles while simultaneously maintaining as much stealth as they could muster to avoid detection.

Sergeant Kal'gun, who had been tasked with leading his squad through the middle of the city was held up with his team in a building near the main highway. Eight soldiers remained in the lobby and under cover, making it less likely to be detected while being able to ambush anybody who came into the city. The other four, including Kal'gun, were stationed in the mid-levels of the building and providing reconnaissance over the main thoroughfares. The increased amount in militant activity against the local populace had not gone unnoticed. Kal'gun had reported several acts of abductions as well as mass slaughtering. An unidentified force was making a large push into the city.

Meanwhile, Sergeant Hethrow was leading his team into a position to investigate one of the freighter landing sites that they had spotted earlier...

Hethrow followed his men into the first-floor of a tall residential building as they cleared the area. He had picked this building in particular because it was one of the few that was tall enough, adequately covered, and provided a clear vantage of their targets. As they secured the first floor, Hethrow called out to his men. "Alright, Terv'ban, Junas, and Langli; you are coming with me to the roof. The rest of you secure this floor and make sure nobody gets in. Otherwise, keep a low-profile. We don't want anybody to know we are here."

As they reached the roof Hethrow slowly opened the door leading outside just a few inches and gazed out. Several ventilation systems, laundry lines, poles and wires for communication covered the roof, offering more than enough cover for incoming fire and staying hidden. The four split into two groups and spread themselves on the roof. Langli and Junas were both partners, with Langli being the designated marksman and Junas his spotter/rifleman. Terv'ban was equipped with an RPS-8 rocket launcher, in case they encountered any trouble with hostile vehicles coming in or out of the area.

Junas pulled out his electrobinoculars and began to survey the rooftop in question, making sure to stay in the shadows to avoid giving off a lens flare. His short-ranged commlink sent whatever he was saying to Langli over to Hethrow and Terv'ban. Information and other useful bits of data streamed down the side of the visual display of the optics. "Range, four hundred and six meters. Difference in building height is around two to two and a quarter meters. Freighter sitting on a landing pad with a lot of contacts around it.... looks like there are approximately twelve to fifteen armed guards... the rest look like they are shackled and under watch. Also, looks like there is a lot of equipment around them. Unmarked crates." Junas paused momentarily as he scanned the surrounding city-scape, spotting a vehicle that had pulled up just outside the building. "Second contact, transport outside the building just pulled up... Looks like Twi'lek soldiers. They are moving into the building.... What's the plan Sergeant?"

Hethrow didn't pause as he began assisting Terv'ban with the loading of his shoulder-rocket from behind the cover of one of the ventilation systems. "Wait for my mark; we'll hit the HVT's just as they begin the assault. A single rocket into the cockpit should cripple the craft, but have a small enough blast radius to inflict minimum casualties. Langli, pick targets that will be situated on the opposite side of the ship from where the Twi'lek assault starts to minimize the slaver's cover."
