A Daring Rescue (Closed RP)

Typho heard Tal'nar's whistle, and knew that it was his cue to enter the "negotiations". The Commander downed the rest of his ale, and hoisted himself up, lazily swinging his XM8 Assault Rifle onto his back as he did so, before moving over to his comrade, and the whimpering Twi'lek. Typho looked down at him with a disgusted look on his face.

"Shut up. We won't hurt you, if you merely stop your whining and answer our questions. Otherwise, ooh, I don't know what might happen."

The Commander sized the old Twi'lek up and down, bringing his size, weight, age, health, etc. through his HUD's data-reader.

"Judging by the information I'm getting from you, I'd say it would only take around... perhaps just under a minute to get you talking, if it comes down to... unnecessary unpleasantness. And we wouldn't want, now would we?"

As he spoke, the Commander slowly reached down towards his thigh, easing open the sheath of his large, black combat knife as he did so.

The Twi'lek was now facing 2 dangerous opponents.
He looked closely to Typho then back to Tal'nar, realising he would never be able to escape this encounter alive without telling what he knows.

"Ok.. Ok, I'll tell you."

Tal'nar released the Twi'lek out of his grip. The Twi'lek looked up at the 2 men and sighed.

"Listen closely. The road to this 'hidden base' is quite complicated, and you'll have to pass some serious defensive positions surrounding the base. Not many have returned from trying to find it."

The Commander sighed, knowing that the Twi'lek was stalling his answers. With a quick flash, he whipped out his combat knife, the blade shining in the dull Cantina light and pressed it against the alien's throat, slowly and lightly running it across it, leaving a fine trail of blood there. It was no where near pressed hard enough to cause any damage, yet the Twi'lek flinched, feeling the sting of the blade.

"As you can no doubt see, my colleague and I are not the average blaster for hire. So, why don't you hurry up and point us in the direction on the hidden base, and we'll be on our way, no problems at all. We'll be able to handle anything we come across, mark my words."

The Twi'lek knew that he would get in serious trouble if he would stall his answers again.

"Give me your datapads, and I'll load the coordinates from my datapad on yours. But I warn you, it's really dangerous to go in there. And not just only because of the defenses.."

"Wise decision, alien scum!"

Tal'nar and Typho linked their datapads with the one from the Twi'lek and downloaded the info.
Once they downloaded the info, Tal'nar patted the Twi'lek on his head and they both left the cantina.

The Commander consulted his datapad, scanning the info that was displayed on the screen, looking at all important bits and areas. He then shut it off and turned to Tal'nar, double checking that all his weapons were fully loaded and primed for combat as he did so.

"Ok, so according to this, there's a sewer entrance around 30 metres to our West. We head into it, keep moving for about 300 metres down, then head left at a Y-junction, continuing for 150 metres. After that, we head right at a T-junction, moving for 200 metres until we reach our destination. According to the datapad there will be guard patrolling, check-point outposts, combat droids, and defence turrets, not to mention heavily-guarded choke-points. This must be a very, very large sewer. Ah well, nothing we can't handle. Let's move out."

Typho hoisted his XM8 Assault Carbine to his shoulder, and set off, knowing that Tal'nar would be covering his back all the way.

Tal'nar smiled, he always liked the way how Typho handles things, just the way he likes to do it himself, straight to the point.
Tal'nar checked his gear and followed Typho on their way to the sewer.
It didn't take long before they reached the entrance and made it into the sewer.

"Let's get moving. The datapad suggests there will be a check-point post already close to this entrance. So watch your steps.."

Though Tal'nar knew he didn't need to say that last sentence. Typho and him were always on their guard. Nothing gets passed them without them knowing.

The Commander didn't reply, his mind now focused entirely on the task ahead. His Multi Environment Combat Tactical Mk. IV "Chameleon" Armour constantly changed pattern and colour, blending in with the environment around him, so that his image was simply a moving blur. His MECT Helmet intensified the dim light around them, lighting it up inside his HUD so that the image was next to perfect. The two GTC agents had only been moving for a minute or two, perhaps 30 or 40 metres, when the Commander's advanced audio filter picked up comm chatter and voices in the gloom ahead of them.

Typho opened a secure and private comm channel to Tal'nar, strictly inside of their helmets, so that anything they said could only be heard from the helmets.

"Check-point. Three, maybe four guards at the most. We have the element of surprise. Used Suppressed weapons only. We don't want our cover blown away just yet."

The Commander reached into his utility belt, retrieving one of his many Suppressors that he carried with him, before inserting it on the end of his XM8 Assault Rifle, and screwing it into place. With barely a sound, the Typho raced forward, his body in a half-crouched, half-standing position, and quickly dived to the ground, about 10 metres away from the hostiles.

"Open fire."

The Commander pressed down on the trigger of his XM8 Assault Rifle, sending two bullets into the chest and one in the head of two of the guards there, both falling to the ground dead before they knew what hit them. Typho allowed Tal'nar to take out the other couple. It was time to get their hands dirty.

Tal'nar's rifle was modificated for minimal sound production when he shoots. Together with the suppressors he screwed onto the barrel of his rifle, there was barely a sound when he shot.
Slightly crouched he aimed for the guards and placed a head shot on the 3th guard.
The 4th guard was grabbing for his weapon after the surprise attack, but he before he could aim, he was shot down by Tal'nar.


"4 down and ,I hope, a lot more to go."

Tal'nar grinned while saying that. They passed the first check-point, and according to info on the datapad it wasn't the only one.

"Let's keep moving, we don't want to loose any time, do we?"

The agents proceeded on their way to the Y-junction, not far away from them.

Typho slowly ran up to the downed guards, checking their vitals and making sure that they were all dead. Most of them had received direct headshots and were without a doubt KIA, and the fourth guard has been blasted away, so there was nothing to worry about from them. The Commander foraged around the body, looking for an ID Card and on the second card, found one. It would get them into locked areas if they needed to use a short cut.

"Roger. Moving."

The Commander began moving once again, his HUD constantly lighting up the visuals he was receiving. All was dead quiet as the two past the Y-junction and began heading left up it. Because the fact that there were no guards patrolling near them made Typho all the more on-guard, as the next step they took could lead them into a check-point. The two men soon came across a small choke-point, where they would have to walk slowly through a thin corridor, and be be totally at the mercy of anyone who could be waiting on the other side.

"Choke-point ahead. Possible ambush position. I'm going to use a Flashbang to cover our approach. Move into assault positioning."

Typho shut off the comm, slowly moving up to the left side of the sewer wall that led into the corridor. He counted to three, while pulling out a Flashbang from his utility belt, then flung it into the corridor, ducking back as it detonated, then charged forward into the gap, trying to reach the end as fast as he could while any possible hostiles would be blinded.

Typho had a good reason to throw the flashbang.
There was a patrol of 5 guards guarding the small corridor. Typho and Tal'nar quickly made their way out of the corridor. Once they were out they saw the 5guards standing with their hands covering their eyes.

"What the heck happened!? I can't see!!" One of the guards yelled.

Tal'nar found no need to take out is rifle, but was going to kill them by knife.
Tal'nar took his knife and sneaked up to a guard and sliced his throat. It only took a few seconds and he was onto the next guard, giving him a stab in his vital organs causing the guard to bleed heavily.

The Commander dashed forward, spinning bullets out of the barrel of his XM8 Assault Rifle in the direction of potential enemies. He would not bother going in close to let them die by the blade. They were not worthy of such an honourable death, and were too pathetic too even illicit a personal encounter with Typho. He fired three bullets into the body of one of men, blood spraying out and splashing onto the Commander's armour in small patches. The Commander aimed at the next man, emptying two more shells into the man's face, creating large holes in it, the suppressed bullets flying out the back of his head. Blood and brain matter burst out onto the nearby walls, and the man fell back, as Typho switched his targeting HUD to the final guard, who was scrambling for his pistol, still partially blinded by the flashbang.

The man never got the chance. There were three small pfutt sounds and the guard was thrown of his feel, blood flowing out beside him immobile body. The Commander was already on the move, stepping onto and over the bodies, continuing on their bloody path of death and destruction.

All the guards were dead. Typho and Tal'nar made a great team, without having to say anything, they now what the other is going to do and help him.
Having passed this Y-junction, the T-junction was ahead.

According to the datapad, there weren't guards patrolling there, instead there were defensive turrets placed in the center of the T-junction, which react on movements.

The Commander signalled for Tal'nar to stop moving and take a knee next to him. They would have to plan this next obstacle carefully. The defence turrets couldn't be fooled like a regular humanoid or live creature, yet there were ways to bypass their sensor locators or make them inactive for a time being. Usually that required an EMP grenade or device, and unfortunately Typho hadn't brought any with him on the mission.

"Any suggestions on how to handle these turrets? We can't use stealth against them; they'll see right through that. We could go loud, and just blow them up using grenades, yet that places us at necessary risk. What do you think?"

"Hmm. Motion sensors. We could throw something at them, making them target the object we have thrown and quickly run to them and disable them, or just pass them while they are still attacking the object. Though we'll need to be fast if we pull this off, they won't keep shooting the thing we're gonne throw. What do you think?"

This was a simple plan, though -when executed properly- could be very effective.

The Commander nodded to Tal'nar's suggestions, his mind already racing with the possibilities and potential consequences, yet quickly came to a decision. Reaching into his utility belt and pulling out an M320 Grenade Launcher, before attaching it to his XM8 Assault Rifle. He slipped out a 40mm grenade from the bandoleer strapped across his chest and loaded into the grenade launcher.

"I like your first suggestion, yet I don't plan on running up to them to disable them. Too much of a risk. We'll take them from range. If it makes a lot of noise and alerts the guards, so be it. Then they get to die faster."

Typho reached into his utility belt once more, lifting out a small ammunition clip for his pistol. It didn't bother him that he'd have to use it up; he rarely used his pistol unless he had to. With his XM8 Assault Rifle in one arm, and the ammo clip in the other hand, the Typho moved to a piece of cover, just outside the turrets' range. There were three turrets. He figured that a well placed grenade shot could take out two of them.

The Commander leaned back, and threw the ammo clip as far as he could. Instantly the turrets targeted it at began fire, their blaster shots speeding towards it. They would only have a few seconds to do this. Typho stepped out of cover and instinctively fired, the grenade launcher spitting out the 40mm grenade, which hurtled towards the center of the middle and left turret. A moment later it impacted, debris and ripped apart metal flying up in the air as it detonated, knocking two of the turrets out of action. The Commander dived back into cover, knowing that Tal'nar would handle the other one.

Tal'nar still had 1 grenade on his utility belt, it wasn't enough to disable all of the turrets, but now that Typho disabled 2of them, that 1 grenade should be able to destroy the last turret.
Tal'nar quickly grabbed the grenade of his utility belt, pushed the button and threw the thermal detonator with great concentration.
The detonator fell right next to the turret and a second later, the detonator exploded, filling the air with debris from the turret next to it.

All of the turrets were destroyed now, so they were clear to head out again.

"I love it when our plans come together." Tal'nar smiled.

"Let's move on!!"

They headed right on the T-junction, like indicated on their datapad.
Only 200meters left before they reached the entrance.

Typho spun his right hand out to the left to grasp onto the barrel on his XM8 Assault Rifle, his left hand on the trigger and handle, ready to spray painful death to anyone who came into view. He slowly rose off his crouched position, his aiming never wavering from its view. The two GTC operatives, a Trooper and a Imperial Agent, began moving towards their objective, making sure that they checked all possible ambush points and locations.

While they moved slowly, they moved cautiously, staying on-guard and never faltering. Fortunately for their enemies, they did not come across any more hostiles as they completed the last 200 metre trip of their journey. Perhaps the guards had found out what was happening and gone to regroup so that they might have a slim chance of prevailing against the two unstoppable killing machines... a very slim chance.

It didn't take long to reach the destination. An unguarded heavy durasteel door blocking their path. The guards probably left it unmanned thinking that their defences would take care of any intruders. Besides, there was no way that anything was going to get through that near indestructible deadlocked door. Well, almost anything.

"Looks like we're not going to be going quiet into this place. You got any high destructive explosives on you, or shall I use the "big boom" that Rex made for me?"

Tal'nar searched his utility belt, but didn't find anything that was strong enough to blast the door.

Tal'nar gave Typho a pat on the back saying;
"Let's see how good Rex's "Big Booms" really are, because I'm out of explosives."

Raame nodded, and reached into the larger compartments in his utility belt, sliding out four identical medium-size jet black explosives, all with Rex's personal explosive warning image on each of them. No doubt only one or two were needed to get the job, but the Commander preferred to be thorough, making sure that nothing within 50 feet of the blast radius would survive. He moved forward and knelt down, placing the explosives in a rectangular square around the four edges of the large durasteel door. The explosives automatically attached themselves on, the magnets in the metal slamming onto the durasteel of the doors. Nothing would be able to take them off now.

Typho primed each explosive, then began to move backwards, flipping out a detonator control as he did so. He signalled to Tal'nar to follow him and take cover a great distance away from the entrance. The explosives were indeed going to make a huge explosion. Once they had got about 60 feet away from the doors, Typho took cover behind a utility crate, to make sure that he wasn't hit by any stray shrapnel from the explosion. He looked over at Tal'nar, nodded once, and pressed down the detonation button.

Almost instantly after Typho pressed the detonation button, the 4 explosives blew out the door with a huge explosion. Typho and Tal'nar had all reasons to get back and take cover because there were pieces of door and wall all around. Nothing that was standing behind that door could have survived that.

Once the smoke cleared up, Tal'nar and Typho got up and were heading to the 'entrance' they just created.

"Looks like Rex knows how to create explosives. I should get some from him too."

They passed through the entrance and made their way in to the underground base.
There were no guards in sight, yet...

"Just make sure you never let that detonator out of your sight. You won't want to be having them go off prematurely."

Typho hoisted his XM8 Assault Rifle to his shoulder, taking point and marching through the blackened destroyed area. There were no signs of anything, dead or alive. It would have all been incinerated from the impossibly searing heat of the explosion. At least it made their job easier. Only downside was that every single person in the base would be alerted to their position, if they weren't already. All the more kills for Tal'nar and Typho that way.

"Let's go find this Zil Bhryne already. They'll probably be keeping her in the Detention Block. We've have to find and jack onto a layout terminal and find out where the hell that it. Let's move."

Since Typho and Tal'nar didn't infiltrate the base by stealth but by heavy force, nearly everyone inside the base heard or felt the blast of the explosion. And if they didn't, they will know that something happened because of the alarm that was triggered.

"Well, now they know we're here, so I don't need this anymore."

Tal'nar unplugged the silencer from his rifle and put it back into his utility belt.
Soon there were already a few guards coming out of a door inside the hallway they blasted in.
Tal'nar took cover behind some crates that were standing against the left wall.
Tal'nar and Typho were both prepared for battle and were ready to have, what they call, 'fun'.

3 guards were coming out of the door and quickly noticed Typho and Tal'nar and began firing at them, but it didn't take long before Tal'nar shot a guard down with a headshot and hit another one in his leg.

Typho leaned out of cover, snapping off two quick shots as he did so. They embedded themselves into the body of the charging guard, catch him off-balance and throwing him onto the floor, on top of the guard who had been hit in the leg. They lay their moaning in pain, the less injured guard more so, until Typho dispatched them with another couple of bullets. No need to leave a wounded animal in pain, he figured.

"Let's move, before they bring in reinforcements. We don't want to be held down while they pile up their guards."

Typho slowly raised himself out of cover, his rifle never leaving its position facing the front. He knew that Tal'nar would have his back, and he trusted that man with his life, so there'd be no need to keep on having to turn around to look for enemies.

"Keep your eyes peeled for a computer terminal. There'll probably be one around here somewhere, or maybe in a communication room."

The two men continued moving, watching out for guards and other personnel. Before long they would no doubt have a very large fight on their hands. Better to find the Operative and get the hell out of here.

Typho and Tal'nar had to watch their steps if they didn't want more guards coming after them. There were security camera's almost in everywhere.

After a few minutes they've found a door that should lead to what is supposed to be a communication room. 2 guards were standing in front of the door, guarding the room.
They didn't seem very aware of the 'danger' that was laying ahead of them.

Tal'nar decided to have some 'fun' and whistled to alert them to their presence. The guards immediately noticed Typho and Tal'nar standing in the hall-way and grabbed their guns.

The Commander watched them suddenly and desperately reach for their guns, and let out a dark, deep chuckle, the noise reverberating off the closed small corridor walls. The two guards were already dead, they merely hadn't realised it yet. Raame's left hand sped downwards, latching onto the grip of his DS-100 "Reaver" pistol. He span it upwards, and let off a single, loud bang. The .50 calibre bullet spat out from the barrel of the pistol, speeding towards one of the guards and embedding itself in his neck. He let out a strangled cry that was quickly cut off, as blood spurted out from his severed oesophagus. The guard fell to the ground, his blaster carbine skidding out of his grip and landing harmlessly a feet or two away from the body.

Typho watched the man's death in satisfaction, knowing that beside him Tal'nar would be dispatching the other guard.
