*She climbs on top of the waste disposal unit and prices the device off its mount.*
Looks like an imaging scanner. Karen walked right into a trap. Whoever attacked her beamed off with her.
*2 hours earlier. As Karen charges Karen 2, Karen 2 braces and slides back as Karen tries to spear her down, before pummelling Karen in the back, Karen backing off and throwing a middle kick, hitting Karen 2 in the face as she gets up.
Karen 2 picks herself up as Karen circles, guard down and muscles tense.*
Karen *angry*: Get up!
*Karen 2 snarls and rams a fist into Karen's face, Karen responding by grabbing Karen 2's collar and throwing her into the fence. Karen 2 grabs the links and kicks Karen in the face before rushing forward and tossing her into the gate hard, nailing Karen in the face with a downward hook on the rebound, splattering a little blood on her jacket.
Karen 2 now proceeds to circle Karen, wiping a little blood from her mouth.*
Karen 2 *angry*: Come on, clone, get up! I said get up!
*Karen gets up, growling as she takes off her jacket and throws it at Karen 2. As Karen 2 whacks it away with her arm, she takes a fierce combo of punches from Karen, replying with kicks and knees to Karen's lower body and abdomen as they move towards the waste disposal unit against the wall. As Karen 2 gets forced against it, she catches a punch and throws Karen face-first into the casing, denting it and leaving a small smear of blood before hitting Karen in the lower back with a mid-kick as she bounces off, forcing her back against it.
Karen groans as she tries to steady herself on her feet, holding the unit. She can barely keep her eyes open for the pain as her head rings. She swings a punch at Karen 2 with what strength she can still muster, Karen 2 grabbing her wrist, twisting back-to-back and pulling the arm down across their shoulders, Karen crying in pain. Karen 2 finally turns to face Karen and kicks her knee out, forcing Karen to her knees, before pushing her onto her back and pinning her with a foot on her chest, both of them panting (with Karen virtually unconscious).*
Coulson: I understand. I can have a team meet you there.
Osman: good. R'tas has already said he will help.
Coulson: alright I'll prep a team.
Osman: thank you.
As the comm ends.
Osman: do we have any assets near malick location?
Rotek: no not currently. It was a pretty in important world till we learned he was there.
Osman: alright as soon as we get the green light we make our move.
Rotek: do you think we will be able to catch him?
Osman: I'm hoping he fights us and makes us kill him to be perfectly honest.

Malick is in his office as his door chimes. A moment later Orion walks in.
Malick: can't you see I'm busy?
Orion: as the one in charge of your security I believe we should move to another location.
Malick: we will soon. The republic wouldn't attack here. It's to risky.
*Hargrove walks into the room with an OSS strike team in tow.*
Hargrove: PM gave the go-ahead. You'll take this OSS strike team with you aboard the R.S.S. Damocles. The Damocles will then take you to Malick's location. If he resists, the Damocles is available to obliterate his position from orbit with torpedoes.

Osman and her new formed team beam up to the waiting ship. Osman makes her way to the bridge to speak with the captain while the team starts to unload their gear.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
*The Captain is a tall and slim figure: a Lusarian - a caninoid species from the Delta Quadrant, typically with a grey-blue coat and understated facial features similar to Caitians (relative to the kind of mammalian they evolved from). The Captain is known to Osman as Wolff Tin'bo, born on Anaxes IV and widely regarded as a tactical genius. He stands proudly looking out the viewscreen, sniffing the air slightly as Osman enters.*
Captain Wolff Tin'bo: Director Osman, welcome to the Damocles. Admiral Hargrove has informed me of our mission. You must realise that we are attacking an opponent who surely knows he will face retribution, and who has resources aplenty to put up stiff resistance even against a Daring-Class starship?

Osman: I apologize for the secrecy captain but we know malick has eyes and ears everywhere.
She taps the disk as it shows a holo map of the planet and the defense already in place.
Osman: this is by no means going to be an easy task. We know malick has a small number of frigates in orbit around the planet as well as an extremely powerful energy shield protecting his facility. The good news is we aren't in this attack alone. The sanghelli commander named R'tas has already said he will provide aide aboard his assault carrier. Coulson is going to meet us there as well.
A map of the facility appears.
Osman: this is where things get even harder. The ground facility is heavily fortified and we don't have an exact amount for the number of troops he has there at the moment. So to back us up even more I called in a few favors. The unsc wants malick about as bad as we do. They have dispatched the UNSC Sipent under admiral Thawn to aid us as well by supplying a large ground force. To cover our smaller teams insertion.

Tin'bo: An effective plan, Director, with one flaw. Malick has two fingers firmly on the UNSC's pulse. He will know the CIS reinforcements are coming.
I suggest we play to our disadvantage, so to speak. The Damocles can hold its own against this garrison force for a short time. Malick will believe we are completely unprepared and lower his guard while your reinforcements arrive to turn the tide when he least expects it. The CIS forces can then blockade the world while we finish off the remainder of Malick's fleet.
Osman: alright captain I believe we have covered about everything unless you want to tell me know what this cargo is? Otherwise I need to brief the teams.

Karen 2 grabs the links and kicks Karen in the face before rushing forward and tossing her into the gate hard, nailing Karen in the face with a downward hook on the rebound, splattering a little blood on her jacket.
Karen 2 now proceeds to circle Karen, wiping a little blood from her mouth.*
Karen 2 *angry*: Come on, clone, get up! I said get up!
*Karen gets up, growling as she takes off her jacket and throws it at Karen 2. As Karen 2 whacks it away with her arm, she takes a fierce combo of punches from Karen, replying with kicks and knees to Karen's lower body and abdomen as they move towards the waste disposal unit against the wall. As Karen 2 gets forced against it, she catches a punch and throws Karen face-first into the casing, denting it and leaving a small smear of blood before hitting Karen in the lower back with a mid-kick as she bounces off, forcing her back against it.
Karen groans as she tries to steady herself on her feet, holding the unit. She can barely keep her eyes open for the pain as her head rings. She swings a punch at Karen 2 with what strength she can still muster, Karen 2 grabbing her wrist, twisting back-to-back and pulling the arm down across their shoulders, Karen crying in pain. Karen 2 finally turns to face Karen and kicks her knee out, forcing Karen to her knees, before pushing her onto her back and pinning her with a foot on her chest, both of them panting (with Karen virtually unconscious).*
OOC: Thoughts everyone?
OoC: Interesting.
Serah: Dammit! How are we going to find her?

Tara B: Yeah one second. *She wipes the pirate's memories of the last few minutes then knocks him out* With any luck they won't think to look for us yet.
Christie: I have an idea. These things aren't easy to come by. If we can find out who sold it to them...
*She pries open the maintenance panel.*
Oh boy...
*She shows it to Serah - it's printed with the insignia of the Sela'ni Cartel: her mother's old cartel.
Fazon. Tara A ports them down to the wall - inside the crater.*
Tara A: Okay, let's keep shields up. *She powers up a twilight shield around herself.*
Serah: well atleast that should make it easier to track. But its troublesome.
***
*Tara B and A are on the on the edge of the crater on a sort of barrier. The Pirates base has a bridge that extends out into the crater a little bit about a street long to an elevator that goes down into the crater. The majority of the crater below is covered by a dark almost abyssal cloud and even from here they can feel ill and their bodies natural instincts are telling them to avoid it*
Tara B: Ew.
Christie: Well, the one saving grace is she isn't on a ship. These things are basically for a DIY site-to-site transporter kit. I'm betting it only has a range of a few kilometres.
We just need to find out who they sold it to...
*She looks a little sick.
Fazon. Tara A looks at Tara B.*
Tara A: Ideas?
Tara B: I think we need to figure out how the pirates survive down there. He said they were enhanced maybe we could figure out how and adapt some environmental suits to it.

Christie: There aren't any other alleyways adjoining this one. Whoever this was probably didn't carry Karen's body out the way we came so...
*She notices a device bolted to the wall.*
Ha.
*She climbs on top of the waste disposal unit and prices the device off its mount.*
Looks like an imaging scanner. Karen walked right into a trap. Whoever attacked her beamed off with her.
*2 hours earlier. As Karen charges Karen 2, Karen 2 braces and slides back as Karen tries to spear her down, before pummelling Karen in the back, Karen backing off and throwing a middle kick, hitting Karen 2 in the face as she gets up.
Karen 2 picks herself up as Karen circles, guard down and muscles tense.*

Osman: alright people listen up. We have a major task ahead of us here. Each one of you has a padd with a schematic of the base that we have been able to put together as well as what can be expected for security. Also remember we want to take him alive if at all possible. But if it becomes a his life your life situation you have permission to use lethal force.
A holo display of the base and planet appear.
Osman: while the ships we have meeting us will deal with his air and space defenses. The ground assault will fall to us and the unsc troops who will provide support. Our primary mission is to capture malick. Any additional intel or prisoners we can secure is secondary.

She sees a (relatively) meek Orion male drinking from a bottle in a booth. As she and Christie try to approach, a female Orion guard stops them.*
Guard: Mr Krol is busy.
Christie; He doesn't look busy.
Guard: Do you have something important to say, or are you just wasting my time?
Christie: We have some important 'questions' to ask him... *She puts a hand on her hip suggestively.*
Guard: I'm sure Mr Krol is too busy for a couple of gru'shil'kas.
*Christie clenches her fists at that. Gru'shil'ka broadly means "half-breed".*
Christie *irritated*: Why don't you ask him?
Guard: I'm busy.
Christie: Doing what, trying to get your face punched in, sli'vak?
Guard: No, guarding a couple of gru'shil'kas.
*Christie snarls and turns away, taking a step forward before decking the guard with a spin kick.*
Christie *angry*: How's that for a half-breed, you targ?
*The guard slowly picks herself up, smiling a little.*
Guard: Who taught you? The Orion traitor or the pink-skinned w***e?
*Christie yells in anger and spears her down, punching her furiously.*
Christie *enraged*: Insult my parents again, b****! Go on!
Pirate: No. *The door to the base begins to open as pirates come out to check on the guards*
***
Serah: Well someone took her then or she's running. We need to find her.
OoC: I'm interested.
Tara A *telepathy*: Should we leave now or...?
*She glances at the guards.
Mari. Christie looks around.*
Christie: There aren't any other alleyways adjoining this one. Whoever this was probably didn't carry Karen's body out the way we came so...
*She notices a device bolted to the wall.*
Ha.
*She climbs on top of the waste disposal unit and prices the device off its mount.*
Looks like an imaging scanner. Karen walked right into a trap. Whoever attacked her beamed off with her.
*2 hours earlier. As Karen charges Karen 2, Karen 2 braces and slides back as Karen tries to spear her down, before pummelling Karen in the back, Karen backing off and throwing a middle kick, hitting Karen 2 in the face as she gets up.
Karen 2 picks herself up as Karen circles, guard down and muscles tense.*
Karen *angry*: Get up!
*Karen 2 snarls and rams a fist into Karen's face, Karen responding by grabbing Karen 2's collar and throwing her into the fence. Karen 2 grabs the links and kicks Karen in the face before rushing forward and tossing her into the gate hard, nailing Karen in the face with a downward hook on the rebound, splattering a little blood on her jacket.
Karen 2 now proceeds to circle Karen, wiping a little blood from her mouth.*
Karen 2 *angry*: Come on, clone, get up! I said get up!
*Karen gets up, growling as she takes off her jacket and throws it at Karen 2. As Karen 2 whacks it away with her arm, she takes a fierce combo of punches from Karen, replying with kicks and knees to Karen's lower body and abdomen as they move towards the waste disposal unit against the wall. As Karen 2 gets forced against it, she catches a punch and throws Karen face-first into the casing, denting it and leaving a small smear of blood before hitting Karen in the lower back with a mid-kick as she bounces off, forcing her back against it.
Karen groans as she tries to steady herself on her feet, holding the unit. She can barely keep her eyes open for the pain as her head rings. She swings a punch at Karen 2 with what strength she can still muster, Karen 2 grabbing her wrist, twisting back-to-back and pulling the arm down across their shoulders, Karen crying in pain. Karen 2 finally turns to face Karen and kicks her knee out, forcing Karen to her knees, before pushing her onto her back and pinning her with a foot on her chest, both of them panting (with Karen virtually unconscious).*
OOC: Thoughts everyone?
OoC: Interesting.
Serah: Dammit! How are we going to find her?
***
Tara B: Yeah one second. *She wipes the pirate's memories of the last few minutes then knocks him out* With any luck they won't think to look for us yet.
Christie: I have an idea. These things aren't easy to come by. If we can find out who sold it to them...
*She pries open the maintenance panel.*
Oh boy...
*She shows it to Serah - it's printed with the insignia of the Sela'ni Cartel: her mother's old cartel.
Fazon. Tara A ports them down to the wall - inside the crater.*
Tara A: Okay, let's keep shields up. *She powers up a twilight shield around herself.*
Serah: well atleast that should make it easier to track. But its troublesome.
***
*Tara B and A are on the on the edge of the crater on a sort of barrier. The Pirates base has a bridge that extends out into the crater a little bit about a street long to an elevator that goes down into the crater. The majority of the crater below is covered by a dark almost abyssal cloud and even from here they can feel ill and their bodies natural instincts are telling them to avoid it*
Tara B: Ew.
Christie: Well, the one saving grace is she isn't on a ship. These things are basically for a DIY site-to-site transporter kit. I'm betting it only has a range of a few kilometres.
We just need to find out who they sold it to...
*She looks a little sick.
Fazon. Tara A looks at Tara B.*
Tara A: Ideas?
Tara B: I think we need to figure out how the pirates survive down there. He said they were enhanced maybe we could figure out how and adapt some environmental suits to it.
***
Serah: I can call my mom see if she can find out.
Tara A: Let's give it a shot.
*Mari.*
Serah: No, I know where we can find out...
Someone approached me earlier... He had a typical Orion glyph on his arm... There's a den in the town which is looking to employ people for 'services'...
Serah: I don't like the sound of services.
***
Tara B: I'm guess if we're going to find out we need to go into the base.
Christie: I don't plan on giving them any, but I bet we can get some information out of them.
*Fazon. They port into the base.*
Serah: If they try anything I'm gonna break something.
***
*And are immediately attacked by 5 pirates*
Tara B: Take us back! *tries to shield them but gets shot in the arm*
OoC: I feel like with no knowledge of the layout and a reduced telepathic ability its a terrible idea to teleport right into an enemy base as they'd have a herd time knowing where there would be less people.
*Tara A ports them back out quickly. She lowers Tara B down against the railing.*
Tara A: You okay, sis?
*Mari. Christie finds the den and walks up to the guard. After a few moments, she waves Serah over as the guard easily lets them inside.*
Tara B: I'll be fine it was just a graze. It stings real bad though. *winces as she touches it. She'll need a medkit*

Hargrove: PM gave the go-ahead. You'll take this OSS strike team with you aboard the R.S.S. Damocles. The Damocles will then take you to Malick's location. If he resists, the Damocles is available to obliterate his position from orbit with torpedoes.

Captain Wolff Tin'bo: Director Osman, welcome to the Damocles. Admiral Hargrove has informed me of our mission. You must realise that we are attacking an opponent who surely knows he will face retribution, and who has resources aplenty to put up stiff resistance even against a Daring-Class starship?

Osman: are we secure
Atlas: yes ma'am.
Osman: I apologize for the secrecy captain but we know malick has eyes and ears everywhere.
She taps the disk as it shows a holo map of the planet and the defense already in place.
Osman: this is by no means going to be an easy task. We know malick has a small number of frigates in orbit around the planet as well as an extremely powerful energy shield protecting his facility. The good news is we aren't in this attack alone. The sanghelli commander named R'tas has already said he will provide aide aboard his assault carrier. Coulson is going to meet us there as well.
A map of the facility appears.
Osman: this is where things get even harder. The ground facility is heavily fortified and we don't have an exact amount for the number of troops he has there at the moment. So to back us up even more I called in a few favors. The unsc wants malick about as bad as we do. They have dispatched the UNSC Sipent under admiral Thawn to aid us as well by supplying a large ground force. To cover our smaller teams insertion.
Tin'bo: An effective plan, Director, with one flaw. Malick has two fingers firmly on the UNSC's pulse. He will know the CIS reinforcements are coming.
I suggest we play to our disadvantage, so to speak. The Damocles can hold its own against this garrison force for a short time. Malick will believe we are completely unprepared and lower his guard while your reinforcements arrive to turn the tide when he least expects it. The CIS forces can then blockade the world while we finish off the remainder of Malick's fleet.

C.Rommel: I don't plan on letting him get away.
Rotek: don't forget we want him alive. There are a large number of things he can tell us about that no one else knows.
