Next chapter is up. This one is a quick one, but necessary. I'd put up another chapter today, but I'm just too tired to proof it. It sucks having to work for a living. Anyway, enough babbling from me. Enjoy.


"Captain Jorgan, is Havoc squad ready for approach and infiltration?" Major Willow Deshan asked her second in command. The Major already knew the answer, since Aric Jorgan was not the type to leave anything unchecked. Every mission Havoc squad participated in was life or death and they all knew it. Thanks to Jorgan, the squad was always prepared. The Cathar was one of the best soldiers in the Republic.

"Yes Sir." Jorgan replied in his usual sharp manner. "Havoc is armed and ready to begin the operation once docking is complete."

"Excellent." Deshan replied. She turned to the two robed figures who had just emerged from the bridge. Jedi were not a normal part of her team, but the situation required their involvement. "Are you sure about this plan, Master Jedi?"

Jedi Master Jerel Dorr nodded. "As sure as I can be. It's a risk, taking the word of a Sith, but what choice do we have. If our contact is correct and the weapon the Empire is planning to test is truly on that star destroyer, we must destroy it before it can be used. We're talking about millions of lives on hundreds of planets. If this weapon can wipe out an entire population with a single shot, we have to stop it. Even if this is a trap, we can't take the risk."

"Agreed." The Major replied. Over the years, Deshan had learned to trust the Jedi. Their tactics were less aggressive than she usually liked, but they got results. "Havoc squad has gotten itself out of many traps over the years. We can handle anything that happens over there. Assuming the access point given to us is accurate and we don't get blown out of the sky." The Major's tone held a certain edge. She did not like going into a mission this blind.

"We're using the approach vector the Sith supplied. Trap or not, we'll know in 5 minutes. I doubt the Sith invited us out here just to blown us up." Padawan Hurrio said almost jokingly.

Master Jerel smiled at his new padawan's spirit. He was only now starting to learn the younger man's mannerisms, which were hard to read without eyes. Taking the Miraluka as a padawan forced the Jedi to realized just how much he used the eyes as tools to read people. It just proved that every Jedi had something new to learn, no matter how old and every new padawan taught his or her master, just as much as the master taught them. Such was the way of the Force.

"All I gotta say is, if this is a trap and there is more than a skeleton crew on that ship, this whole operation could get very messy." Jorgan commented, doing another quick check of his gear.

"We're about to find out." the Major replied, feeling a slight jolt as their ship landed in the star destroyer.
