"Yes Admiral. What do you suppose these power readings are? Are the ships defense systems online?" asked Oron.

Ash sat back, not bothering to talk to Oron any longer. He just listened to Cele speak, but he knew the delay before she did was more than just a silence; she was too still.
Mam, I would like to have two Mandalorians who are with me join up on this for extra protection. They may come in handy for the work ahead.
One of the Mando's whom he wanted to join in the group was an expert when it came to computers. The other was an ace when it came to piloting fighters and other starships. [/sub]

This is when Oron turned around and looked at Ash. You've got to be kidding me...Oron thought to himself. He did not approve of this idea. Although they could come in handy because they were heading into the unknown, Oron knew this man had a lot to prove before he can bring others. After all, he was just an Ensign. Oron then looked back to the Admiral to see what she would say.

Celestial looked at Oron. "While some of it is the ship defenses, the levels are almost twice of a standard Interdictor Cruiser. Intel does not have a clue, however I suspect that it droids. There have been a few rumors and anomalies spread across the HoloNet. It is the possibility this is the first step in beginning full blown droid revolution." She looked at the four pilots and smiled slightly. "I would defiantly bring extra ion serenades." She then turned to Ash. "That is not my call. Lieutenant Oron is in charge of your missions. I tell him the objectives and he can carry out the mission any way he feel fit." Celestial looked at the room. "Well, good luck and good hunting." Cele started to pack up her stuff. She wanted to speak to Oron alone for a minute after the meeting, but she would wait for the others to leave.

"Kira, Jasirm, and Ash, go relax for a few hours. Meet at the hangar bay in 4 hours. I'll catch up with you." Oron stayed where he was, having a hunch that the Admiral wanted to speak with him.

Yes mam. Well, Ell Tee, besides us having some free time and the ships being modified, I will meet you there.
Ash stood and stretched, durasteel dense muscle rippled slightly in a small spasm. The combat specialist was the last of the trio to leave. He looked over his shoulder at Cele and Oron talking, and walked through the doorway.
Later you guys. We can chat with leader at the ships.
Ash broke out at a easy run of about 30 MPH as he took a longer route to the hanger. This was a good stretch for him; he didn't like to be in one area for any amount of time. When he came to the hanger, he was the only one of the Reapers there so far, so he took the time to wander around and check the progress of the modifications on the King Cobras. His golden eyes soaked up all the movement. [/sub]

Celestial closed the door after the others left. She unbuttoned her collar and leaned up against the table. "Oron, I feel I need to warn you. Ensign Lightning is having a hard time adjusting between Mandolorians and the Navy. Cut him some slack when it comes to protocols. You well most likely see more members like him, most with desired skills are rough around the edges." She closed her eyes and took a breath. "Good luck Lt. you are going to need it." She walked out of the briefing and headed to her room.

Lt. Oron stood up and saluted the Admiral as she left. Once she was gone, he walked to the mess hall to grab a bite to eat. He did not need sleep. Sleep was the last thing on his mind now. After he grabbed something to eat, he headed to the ship's archives to find out information on the schematics of the Interdictor Cruiser.

Ash couldn't help but work on the fighters. There weren't as many people working on them as he thought there would be for something like this, so he found his own ship and started working on the new L-s9.3 laser cannons. With some help from a tech specialist, he had it installed shortly, and with one on, he left to grab a bite to eat.
After a small meal, Ash wandered back to the Hanger, and went to his Yacht, where the mando's were playing cards. Ash joined in for a half hour, but lost what he won, and left to see if Oron was in the hanger yet, and to see how the modifications were going on. [/sub]

The Interdictor schematics showed that the bridge was towards the back of the ship itself. It was composed of point defense cannons, turbolasers, tractor beams, and gravity well projectors. Oron continued to study the schematics and wondered how in hell they were supposed to get onto that ship. He knew that the stealth systems on their fighters were good, but he just didn't want to barge right into the hangar bay. Who knows what lies on board that ship.
Packing his intel he had just acquired, Oron walked over to the ship's P.A.
"Members of Reaper Squadron, report to the armory." Oron turned off the P.A system and headed off to the armory, where he would meet his squadron.

Ash broke out into an easy jog for him, still way faster than a human can move in any condition. Before heading to the armory, Ash stopped by the Reaper's room and grabbed the large metal case near the foot of his bed. With that, he added his second vibro-sword to his back, next to the first so that the hilt, like the first, was pocking out over his left shoulder, added his two blaster pistols to his thighs, and left the room.
The case didn't slow him down much, but he had a feeling they would be heading out shortly, so it would be necessary for him. The Combat specialist was at the Armory shortly after leaving the room, and walked though the door. [/sub]

Oron finished gathering a case full of Ion grenades and placed it on the table. He looked up and saw Ash walk through the door, followed by Kira and Jasirm.
"Men, and lady, we're leaving in a few minutes. Our fighters are fully upgraded, so we should have an advantage if we engage hostiles. The fleet will be following us, but it is our job to download the databanks and secure the ship. Right now, I am giving you each a holomap of the Interdictor's schematics." Oron said as he handed out to each to Kira and Jasirm. Oron, however, gave Ash 3 holomaps."Ash, one is for you, while the other two are for your Mandalorian friends. They may come in handy."
Oron looked at the small group, and nodded his head."Stock up on Ion weapons. Here is a full case of grenades. We will be bringing E-Web cannons with us as well to secure the hangar bay. Any questions?"

Ash smiled a huge smile and walked to an E-Web cannon on the ground, and hefted it up like it was a normal blaster Rifle.
Lets get this thing on. Cray, Rose, you two are coming with us on our mission. Get ready.
Ash spoke into comlink to Cray and Rose. He set the large cannon on the ground, and brought his case over to the table and opened it. Inside was Ash's new armor. He would test it out today before setting it into its final stage of modifications.
It would take Ash about 15 minutes minutes to don the complicated armor his self, even with his speed, so he better get started. Jasirm walked over and started to help Ash however he could. [/sub]

Oron smiled, knowing that Ash was starting to get the hang of things on here. He grabbed a few Ion grenades, an Ion blaster pistol, and some more grenades with him. He had his lightsaber, then began walking to the hangar bay.

About 13 minutes later, Ash donned all but his helmet. Jasirm grabbed some Ion Grenades, a ion rifle and pistol, and headed out. Ash moved his swords to the far left side of his body, plugged the E-Web into Ash's fusion generator and strapped the cannon onto his back, replaced his blaster pistols with heavy ion pistols, grabbed an ion rifle, a handful of power packs for each, and 5 ion grenades. He placed his personal weapons he would not be using, plus his clothing into the metal case is armor was in, and left the armory, donning his helmet as he did so.
He ran swiftly to the Reaper's room, dropped off the case, and left for the hanger. Rose had powered up his ship so that it would be ready. Ash placed most of his weapons in the Cobra's cargo compartment, and hopped into the fighter, finishing the checklist. Rose and Cray were in their designated King Cobra's, sounding off as Ash did.
Ready when you are, leader. Reaper five, lit and ready. [/sub]
