Heading to the Estate:

Two armored speeders pull along the mountain path leading to the target.  Forty, Ghaloon and Tehl are in the lead speeder with 'leich, Rex and Zedd in the second speeder.  At a fork in the road, the two speeders split up to arrive at differant points of entry.  Com silence is being observed, except for direct laser communication.

"Tehl," says Ghaloon, "that's the fifth time you've checked your blaster since we've started."

"I know," replies Tehl, "I just want to make sure it doesn't stop working when I need it."

"Don't even mention the 'f' word," says Ghaloon, "Negative additudes will not help this mission."

[Gentlemen, if I could interject.  We're picking up some strange com traffic.  These are not frequencies normally used by CorSec or the CDF.]

"Could it be a private frequency for the guards at the estate?" asks Ghaloon.

[Unknown at this point but it is possible.]

At the Grounds:

[Sensors indicate that there are at least 24 humans in the compound and that the floorplans have been changed.  I'm downloading the updates into your datapads now.  There seems to be one person secured away and guarded, I believe that is the ambassador.]

"Good work, Forty.  Signal the others that they have 15 and we have 15." says Ghaloon, "Keep the engine running, we'll be back shortly."

Ghaloon and Tehl exit the speeder, which is hidden behind a blind of bushes, and sneak over to the cover closest to the compound.  Tehl checks his chronometer and prepares to go when the countdown reaches 0.  Ghaloon is sitting with his eyes closed trying to get a feel for those in the compound.

The timer reaches 0 and the two charge up to the gate, blaters firing at the guards posted there.  The two guards fall just as they were closing the gate.  Ghaloon and Tehl race in before it closes fully.  They break for the house just as the alarm sounds in the compound and through the Force.  As they reach the doors, more guards exit but these are wearing storm trooper armor.

"Stormtroopers!" shouts Tehl, "What are they doing here?"

"I don't know," Ghaloon says, "but this just got trickier."

The stromtroopers fire towrads the two and miss by the barest of margins.  Tehl and Ghaloon race to a decorative wall and take cover.  The firefight begins and Tehl and Ghaloon are pinned down by approximately 15 fully armored troopers.

Just then the gates smash in and an armored speeder comes shooting through.  Blaster canons pop up from underneath hiden mounts and start to mow down the stormtroopers.  Between the stormtrooper fire and the crash through the gate, the speeder is soon rendered useless, but only after killing 9 of the troopers along with Tehl and Ghaloon stunning the rest.

"Well," says Tehl, "So much for stealth."

The hatch on the speeder pops open and Izek Korona hops out.  "I thought you could use a little help," he says.

"Let's go," Tehl says, "before more of them show up.

They head into the house and follow the floorplan down to where they believe Justinian is being held.  They come to the hallway and there are several stormtroopers in the area at full alert.  Tehl takes his grenade, pulls the pin, and rolls it along the floor.  When it gets near the troopers, they duck for cover but it goes off before they can reach anything.  

The three then run to the door, use a trooper keycard and open it.  Ghaloon rolls his stun grenade in and pulls the door shut.  When the grenade goes off and they open the door, Justinian can be seen on a bunk and two more troopers stunned in a corner.  At this moment, 'leich and Zedd come busting in and stop just before they fire.

"Is she alright?" asks Zedd.

"It appears so," replies Ghaloon, "Now let's get out of here."

"Back your way," states Zedd, "We had to cause some colateral damage to prevent them from following us."

"Fine," Tehl; says, "Have you called your friends?"

Zedd responds as he jogs out the door, "No, there's a jamming field in place."

They race out of the complex and the speeders with Rex and Forty head up to the gate to pick them up.  Zedd, 'leich and Justinian are placed in one speeder while Ghaloon, Tehl and Izek jump into the other.

"Forty?" pipes up Izek, "What are you doing here?"

"No time for that," Ghaloon says, "Get on the com and try and signal the X-Wings, I'll get the Dove.  Tell them we have the package."

"No good," responds Izek, "We're still being jammed."

[We should be out of the jamming in 25.687 seconds.]

"Hurry, Forty," Tehl says, "We've got company."

The scanner shows a full wing, 36 fighters launching from the mountains.  Class indicates TIE/ln.

"I'm switching to the tactical frequency," Izek says. Into the comlink he says, "We have the package but there's been a snag.  We're heading out but we've got incoming eyeballs and need cover!  Sending coordinantes now!"
