Mission: Infiltrate the research center on Noveria
We were already on Horse Head Nebula. TheUTT-28 shuttle, a small trooper carrier for around forty people, based on the UT-47 Kodiak, but having three times the size and weight of the Kodiak. Because of that, they had to create a bigger drive core, resulting in less intern space for persons, but higher speed in FTL flight. Originally designed to carry cargo, like ammunition to the battlefield, so they developed a metal compost capable of withstand heavy weaponry, including fighters, it also have a Shields that helps resist damage. Because of it's strong defenses it was a good choice for carrying soldiers in open warfare, but the cost to buy one of those was too high, so the primary choice for soldier transport in the Alliance was, and still is the light Kodiak. Mine had the number T-21. And came after I completed my N7 training, I bought when it was decomissoned in 2162, but it is not all original today, I made some major moddifications over the years.
We reached Pax System. Getting closer to Noveria, but we still had to descend. The location where the ship was going to stay was in halfway of the Skadi Mountains, I didn't know how above the ground level, but on foot, the fall was deadly. Thanks to the specifications on the facility, provided by the infiltrated agent, I had a good entering point on the center. The whole plan had a lot of difficulties. First: even with the cloaking on the ship, at low heights the radar will have a clear signal. Second: the way to enter the facility was through a fissure in the ice, where hot water was released, used to cool hot metal, the problem was: the water was going to be solid or, if recently dropped, liquid? Third: we still had a long way to go up, before actually reaching the station. And the final and most troublesome, we had to find a way out after meeting the agent, my first choice was the same way in, if we manage to stay hidden the whole mission. I planned every move, if everything goes well, the plan will work. I was piloting the ship when Matt say:
"Do you contacted the inside source?" In fact, I tried.
"No answer, but answering was going to be dangerous." Going in the dark was bad, but I had no choice.
"We even know his name, or how he looks like?"
"She have a codename, Ghost, but Fist's OSD don't gave an apperance." The Shadow Broker was careful with his contacts.
"So it's a woman. How we contact her?" That was in the OSD.
"In a locker in the laboratory. We input the password, all the top classified research will be there." At least in theory it will be.
"Just that, we will go only for a dossier?"
"Of course not, we will search the laboratory looking for weak spots in the computer's security. And we will look for physical research."
"What do you mean?" That was one more difficulty of the plan.
"We will go to the hangar and the armory. "
"What are you expecting to find?" Now Matt had my full attention.
"That thing we found on a way to kill it."
"Wait a moment. In the case we find something important, we will take it? If so how?" Now Matt understood my point.
"Yes, that we will have to figure out there, don't we?"
