Sorry so long since an update. Been insane at work. Enjoy and thanks for reading.
Havoc squad was sitting around a holotable, discussing attack strategy, when Quinn entered the room. Every member of the squad had been present during Quinn's defection on the Doomsday. No doubt they all remembered her, since she had a very unique appearance.
"You all remember, Quinn, I'm sure." Major Deshan said. "She has agreed to assist us on our mission. As for formal introductions..." The Major glanced around the room.
"This is Lieutenant Elara Dorne, our medic."
"Pleased to meet you, Quinn. I look forward to working with you." Dorne replied.
Quinn noted the Imperial accent and was slightly relieve to not be the only person in the room with one.
"This is our battle droid, M1-4X." The droid saluted.
"This is our explosives expert, Specialist Tanno Vik." Vik nodded.
"Technician Sergeant Yuun." Another nod.
"And finally, you remember my XO, Captain Aric Jorgan."
"It's nice to see you again, Captain." Quinn said.
"Likewise." Aric replied.
"Now that we're all here, we can get down to business."
"I've got a question for Quinn, Sir." Vik said, leaning back further in his chair. The Major wasn't surprised by Vik's need to ask questions. The weequay liked to give people a hard time. "You're the Sith we captured on the Doomsday, correct."
Quinn nodded. "I am."
"Wouldn't bringing a Sith along for this mission compromise things?" He asked.
Before the Major could respond, Quinn spoke up.
"One, I'm not Sith anymore. I'm currently in training to become a Jedi. And two, I oversaw everything that happened on that station for the better part of a year. It's not only a heavily guarded space station, it's also a maze. If you pick the wrong path, you'll run into the weapons which are developed there. The place is set up to test a good portion of the new projects on small scale before they're sent out for large scale testing. The booby traps change on occasion, as do the safe hallways and passages. There are visual indications used to verify the safe paths, which do not change. I know the safe way to get to the control center and working areas of the station. Do you?"
"So, they actually use the station to test the weapons? On who?" Jorgan asked, Vik's objection all but forgotten. The Cathar had little patience for his squad mate's personality and longed to get on with the mission.
"The Empire would ship in prisoners destined for execution or soldiers who screwed up too badly to keep around. It was said that if you were were shipped to Blade's Run, you were either being given a massive promotion or a death sentence, depending on which path you were given when you arrived."
"I knew a few soldiers who were sent there. Never heard from them again." Dorne added. "It sounds like something the Empire would do."
Quinn took a seat at the table. "Actually, it was the Dark Council's idea to use the station as a testing ground. It's the reason why a Sith overseer runs the place. They don't refer to it as the Sith Empire for nothing. The military didn't like it much, but you don't argue with the Dark Council."
"This is going to be tricky. Blowing the place up from outside is sounding better and better." Vik added.
"Except, we want to get our hands on what they're working on inside. Some of it might already be active. I, for one, would love to know what they have on file." Jorgan said.
"It's the motherload." Quinn said, looking to Aric. "The station has historical files of every weapon designed or tested there. If we can get our hands on their historical records, we could benefit greatly. The good news is, if we can get past the booby trapped maze, the station is mainly manned by scientists. A few soldiers and at least one Sith, but not much else. It's main defenses are it's armoring and deathtrap of an entrance."
"Okay then. Let's get to work." The Major said, taking a seat at the table.
To Be Continued...
