Rhys began the Black Dawn's descent very well, swooping down in a graceful arc. He extended the landing gear, and groaned as the engines suddenly guttered out, the ship falling the last half-meter to the floor.
"Stupid hunk of scrap.." he muttered as he primary power. He looked to the partner at his side. "Ready to go, Frank?"
Frank rams a new clip into his bolter, and checks to see that his reloads are on his belt. Holstering the massive gun, he draws the other one and does the same: only a slight sway indicates that he was shaken by the sudden landing. "<There's imps to kill.>" he says, using his native tongue's word for a kind of religious creature of evil and petty mischeif, roughly translating to 'imp', rather than the word for Imperials, "<I'm always ready. Just let me know when I can start...>"
He half-snarls, clearly looking forwards to vengeance, and stands up, checking the edge of his sword. He runs a claw along the razor sharp blade, and, with a ringing noise, a few sparks fly off. "<Just let me know...>" he resheaths the blade, and then checks his armor, rapping on the shoulder pauldrons and chest plate a few times, to make sure it's still functional.
As soon as they step off the ship, he moves two paces in front of Rhys, like a bodyguard. Any doorways that the two will have to go through, he goes through first- anyone trying to attack Rhys will have to attack him first. His barely contained desire for stormtropper blood to be on his hands appears to vanish, as he slips into his normal public mode: the big, stupid alien bodyguard. Wookies might rip your arm off, but he looks like he'll bite your throat out, too.
"<Precisely what are we supposed to be doing, again?>" he asks, glancing back at Rhys.
"Well, we can't do anything to the Imps until we find out where they're coming from," Rhys answers Frank, "And our only possible connection to them is through the old Guildmaster: Matadan.
"Now, Matadan is likely feeling rather sore about the Empire, since failing the Big Guy's (Palpitine's) plans for him. We might be able to exploit that."
Rhys checks his blaster over, and finding it in good condition, places it back in its holster, waiting for Kyle and Eerin.
Oh man, I have an Idea,
We could scare the crap out of the Imps using Frank and, yea, Frank... Maybe BB's Genosian...
But what we can do, we can Use frank to brutally murder a couple of stormies, as he seems to relish doing that, to make them not want to come into the jungle,
and if we rig a bunch of the toys, we can make them think that there are WAYY more of us.
Well, whilst you are hanging around...
It is worth noting that Osokans are seriously scary things to be near. They are not huge, but they are notably larger than humans, their vast strength compressed into their squat, porcine figures. They casually perform acts of strength that are scary indeed- things near them break easily.
They snort and grunt a lot, and nasty jagged teeth and tusks can be glimpsed inside their mouth.
Every single one you see carries a large knife strapped to their waist, ans occasionally- though the glory days are gone- you see a Hunting Guild member, a whip handle also on their belts, and numerous other tools adorning them also.
Frank looks at a few of the Osokans, being careful not to let his gaze settle on one for long enough for it to constitute staring. He scans their physique, trying to identify anything about them that would read as a serious threat to him... they were at least as strong as he- something that did unnerve him a bit- but still only human size. And he could use that to his advantage.
Glancing back to Rhys, he says, "<Wouldn't mind it, not too bad. Just got to grab one by the neck and use it like a club until the others are out. One has a whip? Keep back and shoot him. Or throw the 'club' at him.>" He says, nodding and grinning: a mouthful of fangs and incisors show, likely invoking a strong fear reaction. "<And, to me, humans are all pretty ugly... Flat faces, no wings, and so... so small!>" he jokes. glancing back ahead and resuming a more professional bodyguard stance.
ok, I'm still fishing for idea's,
Here's what I have so far.
The Toys will let us over-inflate our numbers,
Two people could easily sound like several dozen if we play it off right, so if we have squads of people, we could make it seem like the forest is crawling with Rebels.
Now Frank and all our other big Alien people, we can use to our advantage. They can scare the stormtroopers into thinking that there are monsters in the jungle or something.
Now onto my guesswork. I doubt that the Imps are going to immediately land and attack, They will probably set up an HQ somewhere were the Senators can do their work, ect.
I also think we should keep an eye on the shipyard incase they want to smuggle anyone else in, if we follow them, it could be a good outlet for information
We also want to find the Shield generator, and see if we can make a fake one, or even just see what kind of defences we can set up.
WE need good plans and good execution to pull this off.
