Hoth

[Lt. Seraphim]

OOC: you're telling me...

 

IC:

 

The Rodian looked at the Commander, rather oddly, squinted, as he thought on the man's words very carefully. Before responding in a haphazard way, "Seraphim fly, no ground." Then, upon noticing his failure at comprehensible speech, the green-skin was quick to clarify:

 

"No, I feel, the Rebels would find my skills of more use solely in the air." The small-statured man was not exactly the most skillful ground fighter, actually, perhaps one of the least skillful ground fighter. He had been drafted, so to speak, to fly. "I'll stick with the air."

[Guest]

A small shuttle, large enough only to carry about 5 passengers, steadily and carefully makes its way to the icey surface of Hoth. In the warm ship, the only one passenger rocks back and forth through the turbulent winds in the atmosphere, the enchanted wolf: Mastif Nocturn. Soon the human pilot lands the ship, turns on the signs that it was safe to exit, and opened the gate, sending a flurry of sharp winds packed with white powder.

 

Mastif slowly stands up and hands his only baggage to the pilot. The pilot shakes the small satchel to hear the jingling sign of the money that was inside. With no more actions, the Shistavenan Wolfman walks out into the cold.

 

The wolfman lifts up his hood to shield his eyes, and begins going through his inner monologue:

 

This is the place calling out to me. Preaching to me my future from afar.

 

Nocturn blindly walks out into the constant blizzard of Hoth, guided only by what little Force ability he had...

[Flash Taxso]

"Very well, you will fly under Warren Worthington but unfortunately he is currently on assignment. Right now, I feel that we should return to our main base, Hoth is currently an outpost of ours, may be a busy outpost be it is still simply an outpost. Get to your fighter, we're all picking up shop and moving"

 

*Flash proceeded to his office and using the intercom, organized that all material be stowed onboard freighters and everybody prepare to move. Within an hour, echobase looked like the way it did during the Empire's attack on it so long ago. 10 minutes later, the last transport took off with fighter escorts and Flash was the only one left, his X-Wing sitting in the hangar. Looking around the hangar, Flash sighed.*

 

"We'll be back echo base, you served us well..."

 

*With that, Flash took off in his X-Wing and jumped into hyperspace, following the rest of the alliance.*

[Lt. Seraphim]

Deek, the young green-skin listened to Flash's commands and made a mental note, or a serious of mental notes.

 

Echo Base, fly under Warren Worthington. CHECK

 

Find a ship and get going. CHECK

 

He made his way to one of the Rebel's Y-wings. Boarded it and prepped it. As the engines roared to life, he could feel the differences between what he'd been used to as a kid and what he was suddenly in now. It responded to his commands grudgingly, it lacked agility but it made up for it all in its defense. "Good."

 

The vessel lifted out of the outpost following behind the Rebel Alliance. "I might just make a name for myself, sometime..."

[Wookiee Jedi]

*Kirlocca and Ryan walk out into the snow, and the cold. It didn't bother Kirlocca too much, since he has fur.*

 

"This seems like a good place to train in private."

 

*Kirlocca turned towards Ryan with a smile, well, it was a smile to any wookiee, but it looked more like he was showing his fangs to anyone else. He then pulled out remotes, 8 of them, but only activated 4 of them.*

 

"I want you to learn of to defend yourself in any kind of weather, or grounds."

[Dark Prince Ryan]

Ryan takes out his saber and ignites the silver blade. Even though the blade was pure energy, and gave off heat, it did nothing to keep him fom the cold. He just had to block it out and block the blast shots as well.. But it was so snowy he could barely make........

 

Zap.

 

"Ouch."

 

He had been zapped before he hasd finished thinking. He could barely see one remote how was he supposed to keep track of....

 

Zap

 

"Sithspit."

 

They kept firing befre he was ready. Then it hits him. He needed to use the Force to see. His eyes would betray him and steer him wrong. But the Force never would. The Force.......

 

Zap

 

"Dang it"

 

No more thinking just doing.

 

The Dark Prince shuts his eyes and calls on the Force. It extends from him and blankets everything in darkness. But there were soecks of light in the darkness. He recognized the lights as the remotes. Everytime they prepared tofire, a spark would be seen andRyan could bring his blade up to dodge it. After doin this for fifteen minutes, he turns to Kirlocca.

 

"How does the Force do that. I dont even completly know what the Force is. Could you explain its depths to me."

[Wookiee Jedi]

*Kirlocca tried not to wince as snow hit his eyes.*

 

"The force...you seek an answer...that you already know. What do you think it is?"

 

*Kirlocca folded his arms and waited for his padawan's reply...*

[Dark Prince Ryan]

Ryan ponders the question that was in respone to his question.

 

"Master. I think the Force is an energy source. It keeps us going and going, while telling us how we can help each other. But only those who are willing can hear its voice."

[Wookiee Jedi]

*Kirlocca noded. He wasn't sure if he wanted to accept that. He thought that his padawan might go more in depth.*

 

Prehaps...another time..when he is more trained.

 

*Kirlocca then looked at his padawan.*

 

"Would you like to try the exercise again?"

 

*Kirlocca stood and waited for his padawans respones, in hope that he would want to try to get the exercise down...*

[Tristin Stellar]

*Tristin's freighter slowed down as it exited the planets atmosphere and he waited for the rest of his group. However while the ships movement had stopped, the pilot inside was busy.

 

His pale skinned hands glided over the keyboard as brought up data from the Jedi base and after a moment of scanning the recent holo transmissions he acquired the message that was sent to the Jedi council chambers only moments ago.

 

He set the coordinates and prepared his ship for a hyperspace leap as he continued to wait for the sign to go.*

[Wookiee Jedi]

*Kirlocca got a sudden disturbance in the force. He turned towards his new padawan.*

 

"Ryan, we must hurry back to the temple, we are needed."

 

*Kirlocca turned and with Ryan at his side, they took off towards the jedi temple...*

 

OOC: Sorry for posting your actions, but it would slow things down if I didn't.

[Guest]

The sky grows darker and darker the higher the flat winged x-wing climbs with the image of Tristin's ship growing larger as he pushes the acceleration forward. Many were surrounding the ship and Mastif soon joins the formation. It was defensive for now, a spherical perimeter about 50 meters our from Stellar's hull, but could be sent out with a simple command.

 

A comm is sent to Tristin:

 

"Master Stellar, hopeful Mastif Nocturn here to follow your will."

 

Mastif copies the coordinates from the Jedi Master and prepares his own ship for the jump to hyperspace. The Shistavenan wolfman breathes in, trying to feel the Force with the experience he had gained through his own life trials. It was time for battle...

[Tristin Stellar]

Follow then.

 

*Tristin activated his hyperdrive and tore a whole in space as he headed for Munto Codru.*

[Guest]

As Spock exits hyperspace over the planet Hoth. He looks at the gathering ships. Spock closed his eyes are reaches out with the force to find his group leader Tristin Stellar. Spock heads towards the Jedi presence just before Spock could open a comm with him he enters hyper space. With a sigh Spock follows him in to hyperspace.

[Guest]

Mastif nods.

 

Light expands around Nocturn as he pushes his lightdrive forward, following his leader to Munto Codru.

[Ish Ka Bibl]

Drawn to Hoth Ish Ka Bibl comes out of lightspeed directly facing the frozen planet. He has come a long journey to train as a Jedi on Hoth. Not knowing the exact way to the temple he lands and slowly makes his way off his ship into the blinding cold. Ish Ka Bibl drawn only by a small presence that he feels with the small force ability he has heads towards the Temple not knowing what is in store for him.

[Scorp Jedi Knight]

Scorp rode on ward toward a hospital. aftre checking in and haveing Darsha rushed off he waited. After a while we was told the room number so he went to it there he silently waited in her room.

 

(OOC: happy now.)

[Dartha Athanth]

(All right are you sure this is the right thread?)

 

Darsha shivered, but was glad that the Aldy-thingy in her head had fallen silent, but the images of the man and woman never left her mind. Dimly aware that she was now in a bed, she decided to fall back into deep, painless sleep.

[Scorp Jedi Knight]

OOC:NOT a clue

 

 

Scorp had noticed Darsha stir a bit then fall back asleep. HE wondered perhaps it was more serious then he had thought. HE decied to do some streches while waiting then a couple of other exericses here and there while waiting for Darsha to wake up.

[Dartha Athanth]

Darsha's eyes snapped open. She sighed, threw the covers over her and reached into her pocket where her hamster usually was. Glad that it was still there, she put on her shoes and went to Scorp who was trying to build some muscle in the doorway. "Alright," she said. "I'm all right now."

[Scorp Jedi Knight]

Scorp looked up. "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOK"

"we'll since this was the Er we don't get a bill. I guess we can go back to the Jedi temple now even though." Scorp paused a bit.

 

"Well there is only one swoop and well two of us I used the swoop cause it faster than a bike. But so now what should one of us walk."

 

Scorp watched as Darsha sped away on the swoop for he had deceid he would walk. Slowly he deceid he would walk back to the jedi temple. Connecting to the force as he walked he tried to connected better to the unfying force. After a while his attention drifted into the living force then back to the unfying one again. Then he had reached the temple.

 

(continuing in the Jedi temple-hoth thread)

[Darex Trevelian]

EDIT: please disregard this post--wrong thread

[Ary the Grey]

Aryian walks out to the frigid atmosphere of Hoth, just outside the training facility. He sat down, just thinking about what transpired in there. What had happened? Why was he acting like this? He needed time...

 

But most of all, he needed a guide. His master.

[Ashley Jade Skywalker]

Ashley carefully guided her fighter down through Hoth's atmosphere. "Klik, run a scan, stick anything interesting up on the display." She kept her hands steady on the yoke as Hoth's winds buffeted the craft, threatening to take it off on some wild tangent.

 

Ashley blinked in surprise as something scrolled across the display. "You're getting life readings from a large structure not far from here?" Who in the world is crazy enough to live on this ice block... "I guess that's where we're heading, at any rate..." The X-wing veered, changing its course slightly. Ashley squinted slightly, trying to see through the snow. Nothing was visible at first, but slowly, she caught sight of the structure Klik had found on the scanners. "There it is... Get ready to land."

 

The X-wing dove toward the ground before leveling out again, the thrusters firing to slow its descent. The landing gear unfolded from its compartments in the bottom of the fighter, and the craft gently settled onto the snow, blowing a bit of it around in a miniature snow storm before it settled to the ground again. Ashley pulled the parka she had brought with her from behind her seat, pulling it on and zipping it up before she popped the canopy open and dropped to the snow-covered ground. She shivered as the wind hit her, blowing her hair out behind her for a moment before she pulled the hood of the parka up. Klik, from his socket in the back, closed the fighter's canopy, and Ashley began the walk toward the structure, not knowing what she'd find.

[Darth Immolatus]

A gray arrowhead pops out of hyperspace above the icy planet of Hoth. Its sleek and agile shape let it easily fly through space toward the snowball that had earned itself a name during the Galactic Civil War. But this time, it was not war that had brought the Star Destroyer, it was training.

 

Dark eyes pierce the eye pieces of every helmet that passed by him. He knew they were all staring at his eye socket, wondering why he even walked these halls without a replacement. He did it to show them, he was not afriad afraid of being mocked. Anyone who mocked him would be thrown into the deepness of space. He would turn on a holocom to watch as the body bloated before imploding.

 

He arrives in the medical to find the three scientists finishing their work. They seemed proud of their accomplishment and held the eye in front of him. The eye was gray in color with the iris being a deep red. He looked around at the scientists giving off the idea that he was displeased. He looks down at the eyeball again before saying.

 

"Good job. Now get it in without killing me, and you will be given a position here on the ship."

 

Evan lays back in a chair and is injected with some sleeping medicine. He closes his eyes and hears them start up the machinery to connect the eye to his brain. He fell into a deep sleep, dreaming of the day, the Empire ruled all.

 

 

When he awoke, he could see just like he always could. But when he concentrated on seeing into the infered spectrum andf the night vision spectrum. When he concetrated on seeing enemy patterns, a screen would come up with the ships types and their patterns of flight.

 

"Good job."

 

He walks to the bridge and orders all the Troopers and X1s down to the planet for training.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Once down on the planet, Evan orders the troops to build a barracks, armory, and engineering facility. They troops immediatley begin building.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Two eyes watch the completion of the Hoth Base, dubbed Delta Base, mocking the Rebellion era name while changing it to fit the personality of the Empire. A hord of X1 schematics and machinery were sent down to the planets factory and and the unit began producing X1s. Another section of the factory began churning out weapons.

 

Evan turns to his Lts. with a smirk on his face. He knew they would be terrified if they knew what was going on in the mind behind the bionic eye. Evan turns a to a team of technical officers standing around, pretending to work while watching the Colonel.

 

"Go to storage and grab a suit of the Aquatic Attack armor and bring it to me, along with the schematics for it on disk. Bring it to my office."

 

The techs hurry off to storage. Evan turns to the crew and gives them orders to report any news to the standing officer on the bridge until he returns. If it was an emergency, the bridge officer would com his office and let him know.

 

Soon the techs had delivered the suit of Aquatic Armor and schematics. First Evan tries on the armor and to remember how it worked. It was linked to his nueral network, so every time he needed something done, the appropriate arm did it. He takes it off and uploads the schematics into his personal computer. He begins working the bugs out of the original design before modifying it.

 

Stats for the original Aquatic Attack Armor:

6 arms attached to the back of the wearer. Moved by a jet propulsion system linked to the nueral netwrok, same with arms.

2 arms - sonic weapons

2 arms - manipulators claws

1 arm - ink dispenser unit

1 arm - light

 

The color of the suit blends in with the water of any planet. But on land it is easily noticeable.

 

Evan works night and day remodifying it to work more efficiently underwater as well as on land. He did not sleep until he had finished the armor for aquatic combat. He knew their would be a day when it would be called upon, and as his first day as a commanding officer, he thought he was doing a good job.

 

After four days of being in his office, he finally fnishes the new schematics He begins drafting up a report to give to the Admiral should he call and ask what he had been doing.

 

Stats of new Aquatic Hunter Armor:

same as above

2 new arms and a new propulsion unit designedto be even more quiet and give an element of suprise.

Each new arm holds a single homing torpedoe while a rack on the wearers back, contains 6 secondary torpedoes designed only to fire straight forward.

 

Evan stands up and hangs the old armor on his wall next to his Venom Trooper armor. He walks to the bridge and gives the schematics to a tech and tells them to send the schematics to the factory for production of the armor.

 

"Send a copy tothe Admiralas well. He might wantto know what I have come up with."

 

The techs do as he asks and he slumps down into an easy chair he had installed onto the bridge of the SD. A second factory down below begins producing Aquatic Hunter Armor.

[David Shimenski]

Shimenski landed on the cold ground of Hoth with the construction teams. He exited the transport with the 50 soldiers in Venom. He was now their commanding officer and he sure was proud of it. He turned to his soldiers and looked them all in the eye.

 

"Alright soldiers, Evan gave me a direct order for us to run some training missions. There are members of the Imperial Training Staff already out on the grounds of Hoth preparing a mission for us. The blasters we are using are not harmful to us, but we are using live blasters however and friendly fire may turn deadly. So for now, get your weapons checked and get rested. We'll have a long few nights ahead of us."

 

Shimenski turned and walked into his room as everyone else scattered and went to go do their own things. Shimenski sat down at his desk and started drawing up plans, and schematics for a big project. He continued to work on it until the mission was ready. Once it was he exited his room and met up with Venom on the outside of the base.

 

"Alright boys, its go time. Our objective is a "Rebel" war machine factory about a 6 hour foot travel from here. When we get to our objective we need infiltrate the base from 5 points. We will all split up into 5 groups of 10, as you are already assigned. You should already know your course of action because your battle plan has been loaded into your helmet's HUD. Good luck and good hunting."

 

With that the groups split up and went their designated paths into the objective.

 

((Gonna stop here, the burn on my fingers r driving me insane with the pain.))

[Darth Immolatus]

In the infered spectrum, a bionic eye watched the movements of Venom Division. He took special interests in that unit becuase that was how he earnedthis promotion. He knew they deserved the best. The High Colonel noticed that David was different with the men. Evan had been friends with his men as well as their leader. He knew what could have happened had a solider gotten angry at a decision and organized supporters. So he made friends with them. Telling them about his life. By doing that, he made them think that when he made a life or death decision, he was doing it intheir best interest. He was really doing it for the Empire. Long after they were all dead, the Empire wouldliveon and be strong.

 

Kerrycomes back to the world on Hoth and gets a report from the bridge officer.

 

"sir. 50 Aquatic Hunter Armor suits have rolledoff the assemblyline and are ready for testing sir. Except for one problem."

 

"Whats the problem lt."

 

"There is no water here to test it in, Colonel. We have to go to a different system to test the movement module and water weapons."

 

"Trust me lt.. Everything will be under control. Patch me through to Lt. Shimenski."

 

A com comes in on Davids helmet.

 

"Lt. Once this training Session is over, report tothe armory to suit your men up with the Aquatic Hunter Armor. You will then build a building to be filled with water, using only the manipulator claws built into the AHA. Good luck soldier, Colonel Kerry out."

 

"See lt. Theres no problem."

 

Evan turns to look out the view port and removes the single Westar pistol from its holster on his belt. He whirls around and pulls the trigger, sending a crimson bolt of energy into the tech officers head. This was a warning to anyone. If anyone questioned the orders of the High Colonel, they better be running, or of higher rank. Evan turns to look out the viewport to watch the frozen planet spin.

[David Shimenski]

Shimenski commed back to Evan.

 

"Roger that sir."

 

The groups continued into "enemy" territory and engaging training droid scouts on the way. To keep their attack a secret they practiced using silent take downs and just plain avoiding them. After an exausting 6 hours of foot travel they reached their objective. Shimenski radioed to the other squads.

 

"Bravo prepare to take the vehicle yard, Charlie get into a sniper possition and take out those gaurds, Delta go with Bravo just incase they materialize their vehicles, all on Bravo go call. Epsilon wait for Alpha go call to get into position to capture and set plants on the factory's reactors. On Bravo capture and wait for Charlie to blow them. Alpha is going to hit the security room and assure us a stealthy ride. Shimenski over and out."

 

Shimenski in Alpha moved into the "rebel" factory only shooting when needed to. Moving down the metallic hallway would have seem to give their position away quickly but with Venom's extensive training they learned to keep footsteps silent even when walking on metal. When they reached the factory's security room the charged in hit it with extreme force, leveling all the attendants within a few seconds.

 

"Go call, Alpha."

 

With the Alpha go call sent Shimenski moved his squad into position for their high priority objective, experimental heavy weapons and vehicles. Shimenski was in position and jsut waiting for Epsilon to givethem the go ahead.

 

Epsilon: In position for Bravo sir.

 

"Roger that. Go call Bravo, I repeat Bravo."

 

Whenever the comm shut down explosions could be heard all through the base, some being enemy vehicles going up in flames outside and some being doors being blown open. Shimenski's squad infiltrated the weapon's hold and elimenated the threats quickly and effectively. Epsilon captured their objective only it was quite as easy. With all the enemies in Alpha's and Epsilon's objective down they began to plant the charges.

 

"Alpha here, chargesat objective planted, pulling out."

 

Epsilon: Epsilon here, charges are also in place, pulling out.

 

Alpha and Epsilon squads exited the factory egaging all enemies on their way. When they exited Charlie snipers tookout enemy snipers to provide cover fire for their retreat.

 

Bravo: Bravo and Delta squads pinned down in vehicle yard! Need backup!

 

Epsilon: Roger, sir Epsilon requestion permission the flank enemies from their rear.

 

"Permission granted. Give em hell boys."

 

Shimenski moved into evac position and while there ordered Charlie to meet at their position. Charlie retreated as multiple vehicles could be heard exploding.

 

Bravo: This is Bravo, Bravo and Delta objectives complete. Thanks Epsilon.

 

Epsilon: Don't mention it.

 

"Roger, all squads retreat to evac point our ride will be here soon."

 

A few minutes after they met at the evac point an Imperial transport landed and allowed them to load up. When they took off Shimenski set off the charges and they entire facility went up in one big fire ball. Shimenski got his mobile computer that he ordered one of the transport crews to bring with them. He continued to work on his project and had enough of it completed to present it to Evan. When the transport landed Shimenski had his small computer in hand and commed Evan.

 

"Sir! Shimenski here. Venom training mission is complete. Heading to the armory to get suited up into your new suits. I also have something that you may be interested sir. Perhaps you should take a look at the breif information I created."

 

Shimenski led his men to the armory.

[Darth Immolatus]

The techs in the armory grab Aquatic Hunter Armor for the Venom Division troops. They download the manuals for operation directly into the HUD.

 

"Like the Colonel said, you will be building your own training area. But you can only use the manipulator claws. Get to work. It needs to be fifty miles in the other direction. 100 feet wide and 100 feet tall. "

 

Evan watches from a probe droid as the Venim Troopers begin the difficult task of mastering the suits weapons and mechanics.

[David Shimenski]

"Right"

 

Shimenski got into the AHA just as all of the Venom troops did. Shimenski practiced using the claws and after that instructed his soldiers if some of them were having trouble. They all exited the armory andwent totheir construction site. They found transports landing and dropping off supplies and material. They all started to lay the foundation and began building the structure itself.
