That's What People Do, [Fish Mission] Attn: Renegade Squadron

[Maris Kala'myr]

((As the Renegades stealthy descend the staircase, two pairs of heavy boots echo in the stairwell from below. Friendly conversation soon reaches the Renegades' ears. The pair seem to be discussing the latest swoop bike races and are in agreement that last night was stolen. The pair of guards continue up the stairwell, unaware of the threat that awaits them. Both the terrorist scum can be taken out quickly and without much of a struggle.))

[Algy Trellian]

If anything, the Renegades were deadly in their efficiency. The moment the guards were down, the others were in motion, and Algy handed Shaine the keycard he’d discovered for her to try as it was her assigned duty to take down any obstacles that consisted of locked doors and computer networks. He gave the rest of the team little attention besides a brief glance to make sure everyone was present, which was to be expected, as they hadn’t really begun their operation yet, what gained his full and undivided attention was the area around them and the sounds not coming from the team he called his friends and family.

As Urbane swiped the keycard and the door willingly slid aside to permit them entrance, the Renegades filed inside as soon as the doorway was cleared. Frag ended up being the quicker man on his feet, getting his weapon out and advancing, clearly wanting to take point, even if Algy would’ve preferred either himself or Conner for that job. Frag rarely seemed to have the patience for anything that involved sneaking, which was what they’d have to rely on if they wanted to get out alive. His nasty axe didn’t seem to have quiet killing in mind either, but then weaponry along those lines tended to be specialised for that sort of work.

Conner went in after Frag, followed by Urbane, then Algy, unfastening his force pike from his utility belt as he entered and extending it with a flick of the wrist. Thumper took up the rear, as they’d agreed on advance which of them would have the crucial positions. Point was the position more likely to get you killed, they had left that to chance rather than plan it outright. Perhaps it was for the better that Frag had chosen to take point, Algy wouldn’t mourn his death too much, and any mourning would be overshadowed with the joyful fact that Algy would be able to jettison that devil of a creature Frag called a cat.

This was how they progressed, carefully keeping their attention firmly on the job at hand and conversation being thin at best. They only exchanged gestures and short to the point words, anything else would potentially endanger their mission as well as their lives. They were in luck while traversing in the beginning, only encountering guards at a distance rather than up close, ensuring that they could go by unnoticed. So far, their plan had encountered no obstacle that hindered it. However, this peace would only last for so long. Eventually someone would discover the guards they’d disposed of weren’t responding and an alarm would go out, so Algy remained ever vigilant.

Reaching a stairwell, they descended and soon the telltale sounds of someone approaching reached their ears. Algy took action first, moving forward to join Hadrian in taking point and knowing he had a further reach with his force pike than Hadrian had with his axe. The force pike would probably result in less screaming as well, but as they were a pair, the axe would see action anyway. At the most opportune moment, when the guards were as close as they could get without noticing the team, Algy took action, leaping out to close the gap between himself and the guards. He lashed out with the force pike, aiming for the head of one guard, trusting Hadrian to take care of the other.

((Do they take down the two guards without much fuss? If so, what do they find on the bodies?))

[Lysander Odakota]

((No fuss, but perhaps a bit of a mess, considering the weaponry at hand. Hadrian and Algernon get their respective targets. They don't really find anything interesting on the bodies, unless Algernon or one of the others are interested in a pair of new(ish) DC-17 blaster pistols.))
