Mission: Communication Breakdown
Location: Troop Shuttle Asmodius/Sojourner Comms planet
Timeline: Current

[OLD]

"When we land all but the pilot and two marines will remain with the shuttle, Omega will come with me, Alpha will be with you, when you have your equipment off the shuttle send the shuttle to the dark side of the planets moon as discussed, I hope you have had experience with operating from a firebase facility, because that is what the array will become a firebase. It has defensive walls and gun turret positions, my groups task will first be to secure the Communications area to stop them getting word out, while our snipers take out the nearest watch towers. This mission boys and girls is all enemy are expendable. Alpha team when you come to our aid, you come across any Sojourners that are not surrendering you take them out quietly and quickly, as they will not expect a second team" She said looking at the officers and troops in the shuttle "any questions before we set off?" She asked as her Padd came to life.

"Okay we are an hour from our destination you can ask questions en-route, lock the shuttle down and strap in" She added as she entered the shuttle fully and secured the ramp.

[NEW]

As the K'Vort dropped from warp the ship closed in on the launch site.

=/\= Bridge to shuttle Asmodius, we have arrived prepare for departure, QuaplA =/\= Came a gruff Klingon voice.

Naomi pressed the comms button =/\= okay people this is it, pray to whatever gods you believe in that we make planet fall without detection, we have a sensor blocking matte black skinned shuttle, it will cut down our chances of being found out, but to add extra precaution we will be shutting down all but thrusters and life support, it will get quite cold but we will still be able to breathe, Griffiths out =/\= She finished and signed off as the pilot undocked the shuttle from the ship which promptly left the area.

S'er'in'e adjusted his headset for a more comfortable fit, his customary guarded ear pieces safely stashed in his bag. Having already tuned to combat frequencies and ran tests everything was coming through clearly enough. There came advantages to having a fur coat, protection from the cold was one of them so it would little to bother him. That said however he doubted he would notice the drop in temperature in light of the thoughts, plans and options going through his mind. While he watched members of his team checking gear he'd already done that himself, others liked to check over and over, repitition Humans called it. Caitian's only needed to check the once to be satisfied of the functionality of his gear.

Discreetly he checked his claws, he'd not sharpened them today but still suitable for what they may be intended for. As much as he hated the notion he didn't like being that which everyone saw him to be, an animal, a wild killing beast, yet there were times when those instincts saved lives including his own. It was a side of him he didn't like people seeing especially females but if it came to it, there was little choice in the matter.

After some hours on thrusters the shuttle landed at their designated LZ in good order, all but the Pilot and two marines disembarked, then the shuttle lifted off again and headed directly to the dark side of the planets moon to wait. Naomi looked back at her troops from the departing shuttle.

"Okay marines you all know your duties, I want at least two guarding this area, remain hidden but watchful, she then looked to the Captain "Captain S'er'in'e you will know when the time is right to come to our aid" Then just to clarify mainly for herself; "that time will be when you can hear weapons fire, I am changing orders slightly; *pause* if your team encounters any hostiles take them out silently, we cannot afford to take prisoners, so put rifles onto silent firing and use knives and such where applicable, any questions?" Griffiths said as she crouched with her marines.

"None Major." Her orders were hard to get incorrect and a notion he shared in her orders, prisoners could not be taken and thus had to be dealt with.
