*** Star Destroyer Reckoning, In-Transit to Coruscant ***
"Never been to Coruscant, can we get like a quick run down? Terrain? Any hostile forces we may stumble upon?" Kozik asked, crossing his arms. Blaine stood by, already having his questions asked by Kozik.
"Coruscant is what is called an Urban world - the entire planet is one big city," Draco explained. "Hostiles can range from common thugs to the criminals of Black Sun to local pirates. As for the hostiles in this op..."
"... we don't know what hostiles to expect in this op - we're going in blind, basically. Which is why one of you is needed to provide Overwatch - spot threats before they can harm us or our target," Scourge finished.
*** Geidi IV, UT Admin Floor ***
Derrik shook his head. "We can't. If we go, I lose everything."
*** Geidi IV, UT Battle Arena ***
Keesha quickly wriggled out of the beast's grasp, leapt overhead, and sent a powerful blast of Emerald Lightning at the beast before it could vanish again.
*** Starship
Chimera, Coruscant Orbit ***
Kyle, with the memory of Gypsie's kiss still fresh on his mind, marched onto the bridge, hoping Malachai was in tow. "Gemini, where do we stand?"
The hologram appeared - dressed in Roman Centurion armor, for some reason - and spoke, "Supplies are loaded, we're cleared to leave - but Jedi Master Luke Skywalker insisted we wait for a signal. He said you'd recognize it when you saw it."
"Somehow, I think I will," Kyle sighed. "Still, let's play this safe - engage the cloaking device." The lights on the bridge darkened as an odd electronic zinging sound occurred, then a stuttering, quiet roar, then silence as the
Chimera shimmered and vanished among the jumble of starships in orbit of Coruscant. It seemed like hours - though it had only been fifteen minutes - passed waiting. "Talk to me, Gemini - what are we looking for?"
"There - a duplicate of our vessel," Gemini pointed out. Kyle squinted and saw it. "The fools," Gemini scoffed. "The duplicate is using an old Federation technology for that disguise; Holographic Deception device. They called it Incursion technology. Regardless, Tondam is convinced that is us."
Kyle looked to Malachai. "Where did you say you were headed?" he asked him.
*** Armored Cruiser
Ardent, Reach Orbit ***
Ado nodded in agreement. "Understandable. Those things make my skin crawl, personally," he told Ray. He indicated an escort nearby. "They'll see you to the Hangar Deck. If anything else comes up, I'll contact you."
*** Planet Nirn, Alpha Base, Armory ***
When Andru was done, he was armored up in an SSF Battle Suit, with his dual Katanas hanging from his belt, DH17 strapped to one thigh, a modded, but well-maintained antique FN Five-Seven in a shoulder holster, SG9 Raptor in his arms, and several magazines of ammo marked with green tape and some marked with red. "Ready as I'll ever be," he said, his voice modulated by the armor's external speakers. He motioned his head. "Inorra will have that drop ship prepped by now - and she'll be in her own armor by the time we reach her. Best not keep her waiting." He accessed his radio. "Lupe, I hope to god you're still on-track. Stand by, we'll have you mark our drop ship, and you can follow us in."
*** Dragon'taan ***
Mathayus continued listening to Nari as they headed for transport. He had to admit, the Clans were an odd people. But then, he had seen stranger - and worse - societies.

*** Reznov Residence, Dragon'taan ***
An alarm went off at 0730, and was turned off almost as soon as it started blaring. "Let's hope John didn't--" Ketorr grumbled. He was cut off by the sudden sound of his son wailing. Ketorr kissed Kia on the cheek and whispered to her, "I've got it - you sleep." He then got up and headed to John's room to tend to his young son.
*** Drakona Residence, Dragon'taan ***
Viktor and Kabier were already up and tending to their son by 0745. As always, they shared the tender kisses and playful bumps and pinches while they did so.
