User blog:1hs444/The Heist of Unicorn Hydra VII: Part 8

Our heros enter the planets interior, and their cover is soon to be blown.

Almost as vague as a synopsis as the ending of the Ghostbusters game ("Congladurations you have prooved the justice of our culture") or the finish line end screen for Big Rigs ("YOURE WINNER!").



==Part 8==

The Pelican enters the Planets interior, and scrambles its IFF tags location broadcaster

Flight Control: "Pelican Six Niner, what is your destination?"

Bishop: "Check the IFF tag. Classified."

Flight Control: "As flight control for all vessels here, I have the authorization to know."

Bishop pulls out a pistol and shoots the radio, prompting a response from everyone onboard.

Bishop: "Well, it was a lousy conversation anyway."

Nova: "Christ, I thought we were shot down... Don't do that!"

Fox: "Anyway, so any last minute changes to the nuke plan?"

Nova: "Ah, yes. So here's my plan. Intel from the place is quite outdated, so the NR basically told us some recommendations, and to choose between what we should do."

Fox: "Seems a bit... odd, but continue."



Nova: "There's an elevator leading to the Apex site, and half way up is a dock for ships of all shapes and sizes. There currently is a couple of cruisers and a frigate docked there, so with luck, that's what we can use for an escape. As I said before, those have access to the planetary 'airlock', and hopefully thats how we're getting out. If that fails, not to worry."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Fox: "Not to worry?"

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Nova: "It's standard protocol for Savannah-Class Frigates to carry at least 3 onboard nukes, as well as an operational MAC cannon. If that door won't budge, we can rain fire down on it. Most of the airlock is hollow, and the door itself is only about 50 to a hundred meters thick of whatever metal those freakin' genius foregunners used to make this place with."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Fox: "So, if plan A fails, nuke it once, nuke it again, nuke it a third time, fire a massive cannon slug round at it, fire every heavy AA gun she has at it, and ram it?"

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Nova: "Bingo! But first, we've got to get that frigate. Anything trying to get up to the Apex has to stop at a security station right near the dock for inspection. We split up, say you and I both go for the Apex, and RTA, Bishop and your guy Ricardo stage an infiltration on that frigate."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Fox opened his backpack, and checked on the improvised Slipspace Crystal nuke.

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Fox: "Alright. I hope I can trust your men, and one of Verlaine's guys, to get that frigate."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Meanwhile, a Chat Lieutenant reports his investigation on scene to one of the most feared Admirals in the galaxy...

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Lieutenant: "Sir, it appears that the incident was sparked due to our outdated Type #23 generators, along with an outdated artificial intelligence..."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Silence fills the video feed.

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Lieutenant: "The entire area hasn't been swept, so it could have been something else... uh..."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">???: "Have you searched the roof?"

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Lieutenant: "Why yes, yes we have."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">???: "What about the air ducts, and the stairwell?"

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Lieutenant: "We're sweeping the area at this very moment sir. Air ducts are being checked. Notably, several guards in the complex happened to go... missing."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">An invesigator rushes up to the Lieutenant.

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Investigator: "Sir! We've found something bad in the ducts! 4 guards, and a spec-ops soldier, all KIA."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">???: "Lieutenant, do you think this has to do anything with the recent skirmish we just had with a lone Resistance cruiser?"

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Investigator: "Perhaps, the cruiser sent in a series of cloaked SOEIV's, sir."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Lieutenant: "Don't be silly, the Resistance doesn't have access to technology that could break through our detection systems."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">???: "We are getting reports of widespread cooperation between the New Republic and the Resistance. Lieutenant, I want every inch of this area swept! I will contact your superiors for further searches for whoever else came here. They call me Fear for a reason..."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Back at the interior of the planet, the team lands their Pelican outside of the fenced area housing the elevator leading to the Apex site.

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Guard: "This is not a designated dropship landing zone! You need to bring it about 2 kilo's back towards the entrance, and take a shuttle back here."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">RTA: "Top priority. Let us through."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Guard: "You don't look like you're spec-ops, much less a regular squad. Who are you?"

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">''Nova pulls out a silenced pistol, and shoots him 3 times in the chest. The team sets up C12 explosives, and hides behind cover before blasting the electrified fence away. Once inside the fenced tarmac area, guards from inside Warthog garages begin unleashing a salvo of bullets at the team. Bishop is hit, but keeps up with the rest of the team as they run for the elevator.''

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Nova: "Go go go!"

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">The team drops the rest of their C12 explosives, and shoots the elevator override console, before jumping in, and taking off for the dock.

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Bishop: "I'm hit."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">RTA: "Where?"

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Bishop: "Shoulder. Went right through."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Nova: "Medkit. Now."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Fox hands him a medkit, and Nova applies biofoam.

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Nova: "You'll be alright. Just stick with these two, and take on that Frigate. Alright?"

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Bishop gave him a thumbs up.

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Bishop: "Time to tell them who's boss."

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">

<p align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom:0in">Fox detonates the C12's, and destroys the convoy on the tarmac.
