Mission Report: Low-Hanging Fruit

[Theprettiestorc]

Navigating the Webs

For this mission, there was more than a handful of people - of note, Neophytes Leive and Nivalis, Apprentices Mal, Syndathik, and Lyrua, plus myself, Corporal "Coach" Geskar, and a couple of Acolytes... Hozan and Khassarn, I believe. We were to infiltrate the base of a group of pirates that the Imperial forces had taken on before. There were two routes - one guarded by an E-Web, the other was a cave.

From what I was told, Apprentice Mal and Nivalis came against a large spider, along with one of the Acolytes. The rest of the Sith forces were to hang back while the Corporal scouted ahead with me, and that's when we encountered a sniper. Neophyte Leive provided unwitting distraction, so the pair of us moved up - cover to cover along the rocks. When the E-Web was also coming into play, I traded my modified rifle with the Corporal so he could take out the Sniper, while I provided distraction. I took a shot on the way, utilizing smoke while a group and the E-Web fired at it, but he took out the Sniper, allowing the Sith group to move up through cover to get closer.

Suggesting a climb, Neophyte Leive and myself began climbing opposite rock walls for flanking, the Corporal distracting the E-Web by utilizing a Grenade Launcher he'd gotten permission for. I got up just in time to eliminate two pirates firing on the emerging cave group, moving ahead and taking out the E-Web operator, though getting a shot for my troubles. Persisting, though, helping the Neophyte take out the forces on the opposite side, another man was prevented from working the turret and a third was blown up by the Corporal.

We all split up, on a timetable - myself, the Corporal, and Neophyte Leive took one building, the others split further. A molotov cocktail was set up as a booby trap, and the Neophyte got lit aflame before we could get there, since I was disarming the emplacement. Moving on, she sliced through a locked door, and we were fired on. Two more shots from the Scatterblaster seem to have made a huge mess of that issue, and then we got through two last rooms. The Neophyte dealt with a peg-legged man that had a Scatterblaster shot in his leg, while the Corporal took out another man with a vibrosword. I stunned a man at a computer terminal, and disarmed a Thermal just before it went off, saving the data. And... the two of us in the room, technically.

Final Verdict

One building seems to have had a family, another, a crate full of Republic Weaponry. The Thermal I disarmed and the E-Web were both also high-grade Republic. We retrieved several prisoners in addition to the Databank, and due to coordination with the Corporal, managed to get the lines through to the final run. There were multiple praises of our actions from the Sith, for which I will leave this report open until Apprentice Zotam can elaborate further. Theorizing, we believe that these were directly supplied by the Republic, if not Republic themselves.

For the Empire, for Darth Horuset,
