<blockquote data-quote="Angcuru" data-source="post: 2965421" data-attributes="member: 10948"><p><strong>18 - First Blood</strong></p><p></p><p>Floodlights from the Imperial Assault Shuttle focused on the <em>Dawnsprinter</em>, lighting up the scene as the craft slowly extended its landing gear and touched down. Arias and Miera, the only people in plain sight, stood waiting at the end of the <em>Dawnsprinter</em>'s cargo ramp, clearly visible in the shuttle's light. They exchanged a quick glance, acknowledging a mutual feeling of <em>Deja Vu</em> as the Imperial Craft's ramp lowered to touch the ground and Stormtroopers poured out in perfect formation. An Officer clad in perfect black, bereft of any insignia, stood ahead of the grunts, approaching the pair as the Stormtroopers came to a halt.</p><p></p><p>"How fares the Republic?" Arias said just as the officer opened his mouth to speak. Miera would have gaped in shock if she did not know better. It would have taken a complete ignoramus to miss the clear note of sarcasm in his tone.</p><p></p><p>The darkly clothed officer's expression revealed that this taunt had caught him off guard. Imperial discipline showed through, however.</p><p></p><p>"The <em>Republic</em> has long since faded into memory. The galaxy is an <em>Empire</em> now." He spoke as if addressing a child.</p><p></p><p>"You'll have to forgive my ignorance, being stuck here has hardly been conductive to my awareness of current events." Arias replied smoothly. "I must express my thanks for your swift arrival."</p><p></p><p>"Doing one's duty is hardly worthy of thanks." A slight smirk appeared on the officer's face. "Speaking of which, I must know if your ship is capable of hyperspace travel. There is a war going on and I would much prefer if you and your people vacated this planet with the utmost haste. We could of course not wish for civilians to become caught up in the fighting." At his words, the stormtroopers began to exchange glances with one another. Though attempting to recognizing expression through those faceless helmets was futile, that something was amiss was quite obvious. Though that might just be due to the bones lying all over the ground from the other night's events.</p><p></p><p>"I believe it is, but I must ask the pilot to be sure." Miera said "If you would come with me, we can speak with her and confirm our ship's flightworthiness."</p><p></p><p>"Excellent." The Officer almost smiled at how smoothly events were progressing. At a gesture from Miera, he and two troopers follow her up the <em>Dawnsprinter</em>'s ramp and towards the cockpit.</p><p></p><p>A few of the troopers, obviously unnerved, began to look around. Arias simply stood facing them, absentmindedly cracking his knuckles.</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center">***</p><p></p><p><em>Are you in position yet, Kal?</em> Miera's voice sounded unbidden within the young man's mind. He almost stood up from his concealed position within the foliage surrounding the village, but Aasan quickly pulled him down. Jorran and Adrial looked at him as if he was a crazy person. It was always unnerving for him when his masters communicated with telepathy. Kal responded with a mental nod.</p><p></p><p><em>Good, I have their commander occupied, but he won't stay under my influence for long, he must have been trained to resist manipulation through the force. Make your move as soon as you can.</em></p><p></p><p>"Right." Kal spoke aloud and readied his lightsaber.</p><p></p><p>"Did you say something?" Aasan said, concentrating on the large group of Stormtroopers through his electrobinoculars.</p><p></p><p>"We need to act now." Kal said. "As soon as you can point out their communications array I'll try and disable it."</p><p></p><p>"I've had my eye on it for almost a minute now." Aasan kept the binocs to his goggles and pointed towards a small dish array located just behind the cockpit. "Their shields project one standard meter from the hull, so you'll have to get in close. It will feel like you are trying to wade through very cold water for a few seconds before you get through. Once you do, that saber of yours should be able to disable it with its alternate setting."</p><p></p><p>"Good to know, keep me covered." Kal carefully, slowly stood up.</p><p></p><p>"We'll back you up." Jorran said, standing up with him. Adrial nodded and did the same.</p><p></p><p>"I'd better not have to. This whole plan is blown if you get spotted before disabling that thing." Aasan put down his binocs and raised his blaster rifle, focusing it on the closest stormtrooper. "Now get going."</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center">***</p><p></p><p>Jaess watched the whole scene through the green tint of her NVGs, very well hidden not ten meters from the assault shuttle and quite perplexed at what she saw. She had recognized that uniform immediately. Pitch black, no rank insignia, the uniform of Imperial Intelligence Officers.</p><p></p><p>"Agent Talori, what have you observed so far?" The comm unit in her stealth helm crackled to life and almost broker her concentration.</p><p></p><p>"That woman lead the officer onto that ship while the Storntroopers just <em>stood</em> there. Very, very out of the ordinary." She whispered back, slightly annoyed.</p><p></p><p>"This may be your opportunity to board the shuttle unnoticed."</p><p></p><p>"Gee, I hadn't thought of that." Jaess responded sarcastically. "Do you have any advice for little old me?" </p><p></p><p>"Not until the scenario changes. I will keep aware of the situation in orbit until such a time. R-LE-1 out." Arlee was of course a big help, but his inablity to grasp the obvious could be frustrating. </p><p></p><p>Jaess returned to her observation, evaluating the situation and weighing her options. It was unlikely that she would be noticed before reaching the Assault Shuttle, since the stormtroopers were all still in formation facing forward. Reaching the ramp would be no problem, but getting aboard without notice would be tricky. On a whim, she changed her goggles to infrared to be sure before taking action. It was then that she saw three people, one of them quite short, approaching the shuttle slowly and carefully from the edge of the forest, not all that far from where she had positioned herself. Jaess quickly switched back to night vision and looked them over. Two men, one middle aged, the other in his late teens, both of average height, and a noticably short woman, probably in her thirties. All three of them carrying at the ready what looked like...lightsabers?</p><p></p><p>"Arlee, do the transmissions you intercepted say when the estimated time of the first crashlanding was?"</p><p></p><p>"It appears that said crashlanding occurred not long before the reformation of the Republic into the Empire." Arlee replied.</p><p></p><p>"Long enough ago for Jedi to have been on board?" Jaess asked.</p><p></p><p>"Agent Talori, while I acknowledge the chronological possiblity, this was a refugee ship. All available Jedi at the time of said crashlanding were occupied with the war..."</p><p></p><p>"Yeah yeah, I know, but it's possible, right?" Jaess replied, feeling exasperated.</p><p></p><p>"Not impossble, but improbable. Why do you ask? You should stay focused on the task at hand, Agent Talori." Arlee almost sounded like he was sighing.</p><p></p><p>"The three Jedi-looking types sneaking towards the Assault Shuttle made me a tiny bit curious." Having said that, Jaess began making her way towards the shuttle. Hopefully the three Jedi-looking types would provide a suitable distraction.</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center">***</p><p></p><p>"How did it feel, Kal?" Adrial asked from outside the shield.</p><p></p><p>"Remember that time I pushed you in the lake last winter?" Kal replied, rubbing his chest.</p><p></p><p>Adrial frowned.</p><p></p><p>"Yes, it was very cold indeed." Jorran grumbled, looking for a handhold on the shuttle. "Ah, this should do." He grabbed onto a ridge in the hull and pulled himself up a few feet off the gound, grabbing onto a second ridge with one hand and extending his hand to Kal.</p><p></p><p>"I hope this works." Kal said as he took Jorran's offered hand and was aided in his climb onto the top of the shuttle.</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center">***</p><p></p><p>"Yes sir, we are quite ready for hyperspace travel." Kia lied, doing her very best not to appear nervous as she stood near the ramp with Miera and the three Imperials.</p><p></p><p>"Most excellent, as soon as you have all of your people aboard we will escort you out of the system." The officer said with a seemingly forced smile followed by a twitch.</p><p></p><p><em>Kal, are you in place yet? I can't keep him distracted much longer.</em> Miera thought to Kal. A positive sounding grunt replied in her mind. <em>Now.</em></p><p></p><p>"Sir, you may want to order your soldiers back aboard their ship. The wildlife can become rather hostile at night." Miera 'warned' the officer.</p><p></p><p>"Is that so? We haven't had the opportunity to do a ecological survey-" The officer was interrupted by a commlink on his belt</p><p></p><p>"<strong>Sir! We have lost power to our communications!</strong>" A voice sounded. The officer blinked hard, and appared as if he had awoken from a very real dream.</p><p></p><p>"What the..." He looked around, as if he had just noticed Miera. He blinked again, and moved to draw his service pistol. "Tell the men to open fi-!"</p><p></p><p>Miera's lightsaber ignited and in one quick, fluid motion, two headless stormtroopers and one very unconscious Imperial Intelligence Officer rolled down the <em>Dawnsprinter</em>'s loading ramp.</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center">***</p><p></p><p>Ensign Ricky felt something *clunk* against his boots, and looking down he saw a Stormtrooper Helmet staring up at him, sans body. </p><p></p><p>"OPEN FIRE!"
