Narrator pow:
"Well done, BLU Team. Just as expected." Dooku said, collecting the whole group on a conference meeting after the last held senate meeting turned out to be a diplomatic scandal. "The rouge politicians have no intrest with Confederacy."
"Just doing our job." Engineer responded in his usual soft-spoken way. "That's what we are supposed to do."
"Exacly." CIS Supreme Leader responded, activating the holographic table they all sat at. "This is why I decided to increase your forces up to six Lucrehulk-class battleships, thirteen Munificent-class star frigates, two Providence-class dreadnaughts, twelve Recusant-class light destroyers, plus heavly and widely equiped army of over five million B1 battle droids without even mentioning the adequate number of other models and vehicles and other units."
"Splendid!" Spy responded, entering the room. "Apologies for the late arrival, I had to put a Jedi under our care."
"We all know about the situation at this point, Commander. No further justification needed." Dooku nodded, playing with his beard. "Now then, those forces will be very needed for you, as the next assingment for you will be to join the Admiral Trench in the campain to completley conquer the whole Perlemian Trade Route, from planet of Quermia up to Coruscant itself if possible."
"Hahaha, we do this!" Demoman laughed, taking another sip of scrumpy.
"Sounds good, off we go!" Heavy added, leaving the table first as the rest of the team followed him one by one.
"So, that Jedi Aayla is with us as a prisoner?" Maverick asked, him and Spy taking a leisure of walking around the one of ship's decks during their hyperspace trip.
"Precisely. I am not interested in having her ransomed. Not in our current situation." Frenchman responded, snorting evily.
"Fair." Clone responded, shrugging his arms. "How is the situation looking for us?"
"Well, system of Karkaris will join us as soon as we take over the planet of Querma to secure their weapon export." Spy explained, taking another cigarette in hand and liting it up with one swift move alongside his bacalava. "The planet is being blocked so far, so there shouldn't be much resistance when we land with overwhelming forces and do our job... Unless we persuade them to join us for several liberties."
"Such as?"
"Such as our planet-based represantation in Confederate senate, instead of the system-based one in the Republic. Palpatine plays very well with vith voting ordinance, but primarly because they have no elections in the wartime."
"Yeah, that's good for them..."
"If by them you mean Palpatine, then yes."
"Fair, my mistake."
"Don't feel bad. Politics are a messy topic."
"It appears that Trench is busy with some minor fleets further up the Trade Route, shucks." Engineer said, looking at the endless space throu the window. "Lucky us that Quermia actually decided to switch sides peacefully after we gave them recompensation for the blockade."
"Yeah, and we even lifted it!" Scout added, him and Barriss joining him to talk. "Now then, what's next on the list?"
"Well, there is that useless rocks called Makkem Te and Desevro..." Engineer began, walking to the nearby command table and looking over the galaxy maps. "A small planet called Lianna."
"And the big one, Felucia." Heavy added on his own, him and Ivan walking up to them with rather determined faces. At least in Heavy's case since battle droids hardly have facial expressions at all.
"Oh, another Republican assault, I assume?" Barriss asked, looking at the two while Engineer closed up the view on the discussed planet.
"Commerce Guild Headquarters, wide Nysillin industry backed up by recently established common farming." Engineer said, looking at the still assembling data closely. "And offensive from 41th Elite Corps alongside 327th Star Corps, led by Jedi Mastee Luminara Unduli, mostly because Aayla Secura is in our prison quarters."
"Huh, so she was ransomed too." Barriss closed her eyes, sounding rather sad at the moment.
"Wo, wooo, we beaten her once, alright?" Scout jumped up to her with intention to comfort her.
"Because you did the heavy lifting while I came in at the end to backstab her-"
"Ekhem." Spy interrupted her, as if he was summoned by her words. "We can't blame you for the attachement to your former master. But remember who gave you a good treatmenr after we crushed her army on Geonosis."
"... Right."
"No worry girl, we have your back." Scout added, gently patting her on the back. "Now then, what is the big plan?"
"So it seems you finally decided to betray me, Tyranus..." Darth Sidious said, very unamused from how his conversation with Dooku went so far.
"Just as you betray everyone you come across. I won't abandon my apprentice for a one who plans my fall." Count responded decisively, Asajj and Grievous standing on his sides with sturn faces. "Besides, all of the CIS knows for a fact that Anakin Skywalker is your next toy. Your chips inside the clones showed us so."
"Wery well then. The Dark Side will crush you even harder then. And you are no longer my apprentice." Sidious said with a sudden spike of spite before the transmission ended.
"I almost would like to see him try... Oh well, it appears I can stop being a Sith I never really was to begin with." Dooku said, turning around to his two acolytes, his hands placed together on the back. "However, I will not stop with your training in the force. It will just show more... Wide aspects of teachings, ones besides the dark side."
"As your wish, master." Grievous responded, kneeling down before him.
"As you wish." Asajj added, doing the same shortly after.
"Now then, Grievous, go back to your military duties." Dooku commander with amused face, not moving even an inch as the cyborg general left the room. "As for you, Asajj, I have a special... Diplomatic mission."
"What is it, my master?"
"A friendly visit to your family at Dathomir. A cleared view of the force made me realise that Darth Maul still clinges to life."
"Your predecessor as Sidious toy..." Asajj said with a slight holdup, standing up with wide eyes. "What is the mission then?"
"First and foremost, assured your family at Dathomir as our friends, or at very least as ones fond of the Republic and Sidious." Dooku explained, rubbing his chin. "Second, try to make Maul join us. You can call for support from BLU Team if necessary, since they will be stuck in Felucia for quite some time and won't move forward from it too quick."
"As you wish, master..."
"Hold on, this is stupid!" Sniper shouted, him, Soldier and Demoman looking at the Galaxy map. "Why in their right mind would Republic send so many forces so far away from their planets?"
"Because they want to strike tej Commerce Guild HQ." Demo responded, pointing his shaking fingers at the placement of space skirmishes closer to Republic's planets. "Why do you think they occupy Trench back there by running in circles?"
"They have decided to use precised strikes of accumulated forces in key sectors!" Soldier added with passion typical for him in regard of war-related activities. "Whatever happens, we need to destroy their strike force in here! Our lives depend on it!"
"Alright then, laddie. But what do we do?" Demo asked him.
"We break the space blockade with our superior forces and use our land forces to first encirle, then destroy all of the invading land forces! Just like George Washington would intended!" Soldier explained, going forward with his plans and being fueled by the sheer force of freedom he beloved so hard.
"Just remember to keep our fleet above the system." Sniper added, taking a bottle of his home-made moonshine. "We don't want some rescue mission to get them out of your hellhole."
"That's why you will stay in here!" Soldier responded quickly, pointing his finger at him, almost in Ace Attorney style. "Your sniping skills will help you precisely see enemy ships from afar."
"Fair enough. But convince the others before we come into the system."
"Oooh, don't worry lad! We will tell the others!" Demoman responded cheerfully, pointing at his moonshine bottle. "Can I take some?"
"Hah! They're running away!" Soldier laughed, seeing as six Venators just jumped into hyperspace in front of their videly outnumbering fleet. "Now then, Sniper secures the area, everyone else goes on a safari!"
"Go get em' lads!" Demoman cried joyously, rushing towards the nearest transport ship in the hangar bay.
"We come together, Doctor." Heavy said, grabbing Medic by the shoulder and dragging him into the other one as the first wave of ships began to leave.
"Meh, I'm staying here." Engineer said, activating his rancho relax and getting down to drinking. "I just want to be in peace for a moment."
"Me too, I have someone to talk to." Spy added, reloading his Ambassador and leaving towards the prison cells.
"I don't like this, bloke." Sniper said, looking after the Frenchman with narrowed eyes.
"Me neither." Engineer nodded, looking at Scout and Barriss who were one of the last to leave the ship. "Me neither..."
