[Jess]

A tall girl with blonde hair and blue eyes stood near a door in Cloud City. She was wearing tan coloured pants with a belt and a loose brown top. Over the top she wore a jacket that came to her knees and a par of large black boots. Hovering not far from her left shoulder was a black ASN-121.

 

The sound of a commlink beeping made Afton look over her shoulder. There was a woman standing not foar from, her talking into her commlink. Afton turned to her personalized ASN-121.

"Who is that woman standing over there?" she whispered trying not to attract attension to herself. She was bent over a blue max that was plugged into the mainframe of Cloud City.

"That is Si'hib Mi, she is working for someone by the name of Ulic, who went missing not long ago. It may be beneficial to befriend her," answered the ASN-121.

"Why do you think it would benefit us makeing friends with this woman?" she asked slightly annoyed,

"You seem to think I should make friends with everyone that is not an Imperial or the like."

"Well... she has friends in high places and... well she may be someone to hide behind if our plan fails..."

"It wont fail. Now consentrate please," she sneered turning back to her blue max...

[UlicHorn]

"Right, I'm on it." Sib said putting away her comlink. "Sorry no real time for introuductions." She said to Karn, "But thanks, I'm sure well meet again." She started to jog in Afton's direction but she didn't notice her yet but her Lekku brain tails were twitching, a sign she was in deep thought...

 

OCC: Sib's a Twi'lek and Ulic's a Corellian for all whose who are new to the thread.

[Jess]

The woman started to come her way. She looked at her ASN-121 and then at her blue max, that was still plugged into the mainframe.

"Hurry Max, we have company," she said before stepping out of the shadows to reveal herself to the Twi'lek. The Twi'tek almost ran into her.

"Hi, my name is Afton and my ASN-121 here tells me that it would be beneficial for us to become friends. Would that be alright with you?"

 

The Twi'lek just looked at her.

"Oh I am sorry, I should not have just come out here and assumed that you would know what I am talking about. I would like to make an alliance with you, and I think it will be very beneficial to you. But if you don't want to that will be fine."

Afton studied the Twi'lek closely waiting for a responce...

[UlicHorn]

Sib studied the new woman as well. Her Lekku were twitching again as she worked the idea over in her mind. "Alright sure. If you think your up to it, I kinda need to sneak into one of the med wearhouses, you wouldn't have any idea about how to, would you?" She asked...

[Krytos]

Karn was releaved to find out that the person holding the gun was actually a Twi'lek named Sib. Before he had a chance to talk to her, she was talking on her comm-link. In an instant she was off again yelling something to him as she ran.

"I'd don't think so," Karn whispered and began running after her. For his short stature, most were surprised at how fast Karn was - nevertheless, the Twi'lek was faster.

"Hold up Sib, I need to talk to you!" Still running as fast as he could, Karn's eyes now moved from Sib to a girl standing off to the side in a shadow. He couldn't pick it then, though he knew there was something unnusual about the girl.

A micro jump away from Bespin, the Reckless Wonderer waited in the mass shadow of a planetoid.

"Still no message from the Major?" Captain Biree Kre'nel asked the communication's officer.

"No ma'am."

"What's taking him so long?" Staring out of the forward view port of the CC-5500, Biree felt as if something terribly wrong was happening on Bespin - and she knew that there was nothing that they could do to help.

Sib almost didn't stop as the girl moved out of the shadow. She wasn't hostile - a very good thing considering the luck Karn had had today. Slowing to a jog, Karn moved up next to the pair. Sib stared at the girl with an expression on her face that only another Twi'lek could understand. The girl, somewhere in her late teens, stood infront of her without a single expression on her face. Neither had paid any attention to him, and neither seemed to be talking, so Karn intruded.

"Hi, the name's Karn," he said sticking out his hand.

[UlicHorn]

Sib jumped as Karn stuck out his hand. "Oh geez," she said putting a hand on her head. "I really didn't mean to take off like that, but when they call." she shrugged holding out the comlink.

[Krytos]

"No problem, though usually I'm the one running from people," Karn joked, though still kept an eye on the third person in the group.

"So, what's this I hear about you wanting to break into a med centre?"

[UlicHorn]

"Well a friend of mine, his name's Ulic, he was on his way to finish a mission he was to tag some bacta in one of the facilities storehouses but he was captured halfway through. I need to finish the mission and save his sorry butt. Interested?" she asked with a smile...

[Krytos]

"Hmm, sit around and wonder how to make past an Imperial blockade to my ship . . . or, sneak into a medical facility, tag some bacta, rescue someone and battle the Empire, " Karn said with an obvious hint of sarcasm. "Choices, choices - well, I think I'll go help you guys out."

[bobandrubert]

OOC:

That is Si'hib Mi, she is working for someone by the name of Ulic

I Think she works for me????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[bobandrubert]

"Sib are you at the jamming site?" Arjun asked in asked Sib through his comlink.

[UlicHorn]

"Oh, sorry sir, no sir. I got a little...sidetracked." she said into her comlink.

[bobandrubert]

OCC I thought you forgot so I did that Where did the idea of reuscuing Ulic come in?

[Jess]

Afton looked at the Twi'lek.

"So you need to break into the warehouse eh. Well I can help you with that."

She turned to her bue max,

"Can we have a layout of the place, we need to know the best place to break into the warehouses."

"Sure," the blue max asnwered and started beeping...

[Krytos]

Karn watched as the droid brought up blue prints to the medical facility. It quickly pin-pointed an access shaft on the building. The access shaft was high up on the side of the building - though didn't look like it would be to hard to get to. Simply climb up the adjacent building and jump 5 metres across to the facility, open a welded hatch and then enter. Simple - all they needed now was a cutting torch and a safety net incase anyone fell.

"So, who get's to go first?" Karn asked with a smirk.

He got a smile back from Sib, who ran into the adjacent building. In under a minute she was on the roof and leaping over to the medical facility. Now she was hanging over the edge with a small object in her hand - a cutting torch.

Laughing out loud, Karn joked to Afton, "useful, isn't she!"

Karn knew it wasn't funny, though he felt a shiver down his spine when Afton simply stared back at him.

"Ok, I'm next" Karn ran up the stares to the top of the roof and lept over the 5 metre gap between the buildings. Quickly turning to call Afton, he couldn't hide his surprise as she made the jump by herself without any help or hesitation.

Sib had already entered the builiding, so Karn and Afton followed.

The inside of the building was dark, from what Karn could see there was little lighting. Sib turned to him and the girl ands handed out small packs of tracking devices. Without a word the three spread apart from each other on a hunt for the bacta tanks.

[Krytos]

IC: Karn finished planting his last tracking device. He knew he'd finished before the others because after sneaking around for ten minutes, he hadn't seen a single sign of life in the building except for him his friends. Karn slipped one of the tracking devices into his pocket hidden inside his jacket. "This could be useful," he said out loud.

Slowly sneaking back to where the trio had infiltrated the medical facility, Karn tried to spot either Sib or Afton - though he couldn't see either of them. He was hoping it was because it was both dark and that they were sneaking around.

Karn sat down and rested his eyes, it had been a long day already. With a silent sigh, Karn secretly wished he was back on the bridge of his starship with his crew smuggling weapons for the Alliance, like old times. A smile drew across his face as he remembered the good old days of running from Imperial custom ships, fending off pirates . . .

His thoughts were snapped back to the present as a sound emerged from the roof. Staring up, Karn heard it again - a sort of metal on ferrocrete sound. Pulling his gun from his holster, he tried to warn the others as quitely as possible.

"Guys, we've got company!"

 

OOC: Left this one open for ADarkJedi44 to bring in the troops and to reveal a traitor in the Resistance on planet

[UlicHorn]

Sib pulled herself up ontop of a batca tank and grabbed hold of a lose pole yanking down. She landed herself next to Karn and waited for the advancing troops.

[Jess]

Afton was walking around in the dark planting tracking devices when the sound of advancing troops could be heard. She hid herself in the shadows and made her way causously back to the others, gun up and ready. She was able to walk right up to them before they noticed her. They swung round with guns up.

 

"Whoo... its only me," she whispered, taking a postion near them.

Suddenly her ASN-121 came in through the hole they had entered, it flew straight to her and spoke.

"There is a group of stormtroopers coming our way. Theres about twenty of them."

"I know, its not like we can't hear them," she replied.

Turning to the others she said,

"Ok listen up, heres what we will do. I'll go over to the centre of the room just behind that crate, Karn you go that corner to your left and Sib you come over here. When the enter wait for my first shot then let em have it, just make sure you don't leave your postion."

 

Afton made her way to the centre of the room, making sure she did not leave the shadows, untill she reached the crate she had motioned to. She stood dead in front of it, there was no cover for her just an ever darkening shadow. The shadow was so dark that if you did not know she was there you'd never tell. The she waited...
