Three hours later, you have been outfitted with battle armour, three grenades each, sytherope dispenser, 4 spare blaster packs, plus your personal gear. Collan also has five stimpacks in the event you guys get injured. The battle armour, blaster rifle and pistol seem clunky and bulky to Collan, but if he's going to be under fire, best to be prepared.
[OOC: Note, any grenades you guys had been issued previously that were unused were turned in, you may have a max of three grenades on this mission]
You make your way to the departure bay. Lieutenant Querro is there with one of his troopers, plus two boys from Alpha Platoon. He reports to Niil.
"Warrant Officer Spaar, Major Tibbero briefed me on the plan. I understand that you are in charge of this mission, and I am to support you on the rooftop, and in the nearby facility where the E-Web will be assembled. Would you prefer me on the roof with you, or guarding the E-web?"
Meanwhile, Trax, Jex and Collan peek into the shuttle. It's been stripped of all the medical equipment and several jump seats have been installed - there are still smudges and stains from the welding. The E-web takes up quite a bit of the free space. It will be a tight squeeze. Plus, if all goes well, you'll have another passenger on the flight home.
The pilot, whom you recognize from previous flights, is Corporal Fez Rand. Beside him his Spacer Deni Black, also a veteran of previous missions. They are running through pre-flight checks, but they look up, smile and nod when you enter the shuttle.
While you are getting comfortable, a pair of troopers haul in a large-ish case. "The spare gear you wanted," says one. They secure it to the deck in the back of the shuttle. It's not exactly out of the way, but you should be able to manoeuvre the e-web past it without too much difficulty.
The plan seems fairly straight forward. The shuttle will fly you to Megyek Ebol, where it will land in the industrial complex near the Imperial Outpost. There, you will secure the facility, and Trax and two troopers will unload the E-web and make their way up to the rooftop. The shuttle will then depart to prepare for the assault.
Once the shuttle is in position, Trax will engage the uplink, isolating the outpost from the rest of the Empire. He will then engage two of the anti-personnel cannons. Once they are engaged, Trax will signal the shuttle. The shuttle will come in fast and low, and deposit Niil, Jex, Collan and two troopers on the roof. The shuttle will then depart to pick up the troopers working the E-web.
Once the roof is secure, Trax will jetpack over to the outpost. Niil, Jex, Trax and Collan will then infiltrate the facility, make their way to the power core in the lower parts of the facility, set demo charges, and return to the roof. The shuttle will be back by then, you will enter the shuttle and escape out to sea.
Along the way, you are to be alert for surrendering Imperials. You have a pass phrase to verify your contact. Once you have established contact, you are to protect him, complete the demolition, and escape.
There is the small matter of roughly 25 Imperial Army regulars, Intel troopers, NCO's and officers, but that's the kind of thing the Spec's deal with on a regular basis.
[OOC Just need Niil's decision on where to put the lieutenant, and we'll start.]
