Hutch stopped, looked back at Akira. "Really? That is a terrible choice. It's small and... a service sub. that's like stealing a street cleaner and driving it around. We're looking for style, maybe a something thats a little ostentatious."
Hutch pointed to the other side of the marina where a large luxury passenger sub made birth. It was large, covered in observation bubbles, and bright neon green with red splashes on the side. Hutch fell in love with it immediately. "Yep... Thats exactly the kind of submarine i want to assault a secret underwater laboratory. Lets steal it."

We are looking for subtlety, not something that yells that loud. We are going in and coming back out. We need something that can easily hide, not found. Do you think something that big and colorful would be hard to track?
That sub was way too loud for anyone, and she highly doubted it could go fast. Speed would be good... she looked around the marina walking farther in, trying to find something subtle that would also go fast.
Hutch, no for that sub, get away. Find something fast and somewhat subtle. [/sub][/b]

"We'll be hundreds of feet under the ocean, it's no as if anyone will actually be looking at us. And if they are... boy won't they be surprised." Hutch insisted. He crossed the Marina and stepped out onto the docks to examine the minisub he'd selected. It had a very spacious cockpit flanked by two large observation bubbles and it looked like it had a very roomy cabin in the back. In all it couldn't have been more then 35 feet long.
"I like it and it's my mission and i get to pick the sub we go in. Getting there isn't going to be an issue. They seemed more then welcome to entertain guests. Getting out again will be the issue." Hutch said. He pulled out his datapad and extended a wire from it to the subs hatch control. a few quick keystrokes and the hatch was opened. He retracted the wire and pocketed the datapad again.
"You can find your own sub if you want. But it won't be as cool as mine."

Damn your persistent.
Akira shook her head slightly and sighed before slowly going after Hutch. Why did Kit need to send her with this smuggler? No, she had to go with this guy to find some other guy rather than send her on a mission of her own where she truly shone.
Wait for me... I hope you know what your doing. [/sub]

Hutch smiled. "of coarse i know what i'm doing. I'm making it up as i go along."
Hutch slid into the sub and looked around. The cockpit he checked first. Thankfully the controls were made to resemble a spaceship control scheme for ease of use. That made driving this thing a lot easier then the escape sub he'd used to get out of the place the first time.
"Now... it requires a key... i must have missed the day of school where they covered hotwiring a minisub so give me a sec." Hutch said as he started prying off panels beneath the cockpit controls

Back up, let me handle the electronic stuff rather than have you rip out all the wiring.
Akira sat in a chair, closed her eyes, and dug into all the electronic gear through the force. It took her about 30 seconds to find the right switch and have it take the burst of electricity for it to work. A second later, the sub was purring and ready to go.
Well then, shall we make our way into the rough sea? [/sub]

"Yeaow!!" Hutch yelled as he received a shock when the sub started. He got out from under the console and sucked on his burnt thumb a little before sitting in the drivers seat. "I loosened it for you." He said.
He pushed forward on the throttles and undid the magnetic mooring clamps which allowed the vessel to lurch out of it's berth. "And away we go. Don't worry, once we go down a few dozen feet we won't feel the weather at all."

Akira winked at Hutch and stuck out her tongue as he crawled out from under the console. She found it quite funny that he managed to shock himself, but it was partly her fault, but she didn't listen to what she said.
I know that, but those first few dozen are a little bumpy.
She leaned back in her chair, looking off into the ocean as it rose up above her. Though the sub was bucking around in the stormy water, she hardly moved: she was using the force to hold her steady rather than a safety harness. [/sub]

The sub weaved a little as it navigated the heavy currents the storm was kicking up. Hutch could feel the motion but outside the window was just more water. He started to feel ill. "I may throw up on you." He warned as the sub continued it's decent.
Things calmed down before too long though and Hutch's stomach settled down. "Go ahead and put the coordinates for our secret underwater lab. Then we'll get our data and get the hell out of here. hopefully to never come back."
Meanwhile, down in The PEARL, Mr. Blue came up behind Dr. White who was working in his office. "Doctor, we've received word from one of our suppliers. He was just ambushed by a Man, Woman and a Noghri who wanted the coordinates of the Facility... he gave it to them."
"Do we know who this man and woman are?" Dr. White said, not looking away from his console.
"No Doctor, not yet." Mr. Blue responded.
"Then i suppose we shall have to move again. Send word to Dr. Green that it's time to open up The SWAN and prepare the self destruct. I'll begin the downloads." Dr. White said. "It's a shame, we were just settling in."

Akira started to get an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach as she moved to a different seat so that she could input the coordinates from the datapad Yumi gave her.
Alright, their in. Lets make this quick. Something doesn't seem right to me...
Akira leaned back in her chair, looking out into the ocean. She watched as a school of fish swam by. After a couple of seconds, went back to her original chair, which was communications, put on a headset, and started scanning anything that she could pick up from under the water. [/sub]

"Tell me about it." Hutch said as he steered them on coarse. He hated the idea of going back to this place, which is why he was getting paid for it, and paid well. Still, the only comfort he had was that he was that he was armed this time, and in full control of his shape shifting.
"Tell me if you see the place before i do."

I can feel it distantly, maybe a couple of kilometers away. I'm not really getting anything clear, be it force or communications. After a couple of heart beats, she took off the headset and leaned closer to the front bubble. Soon, faint lights could be seen up ahead of them.
See that? I thinks we are getting close. [/sub]

Hutch lowered the sub a few hundred feet and approached the facility. The three hexagonal pods rose up from the ocean floor, bathed in pale white light from the spotlights around it's base. Hutch started to circle the place looking for a entry point.
"head back to the docking ring and get ready to engage it." Hutch said. he reached up to the overhead console and started switching off lights in the cockpit.

On it.
Akira went to the back of the sub, pass the air lock, and, from the back consol there, turned off all the lights saved the low running lights on the floor and ceiling. There was just enough light to see, but that was about it.
When she turned around, she was surprised to see a small, hidden hatch embedded in the wall. She only saw it by the light in one of its near invsable crack. She went to is and used the force to unlock its lock. Inside was some light armor, a couple of pistols and rifles, grenades, and a note.
Sorry for the wait, but I finally managed get the gear you needed. Try to keep in mind that Manaan is even more strict about safty than this water hole. [/b][/color] Akira grabbed the light armor, which was black, inspecting the sizes of each set. There were four, and she was lucky enough that the smallest would fit her. She pulled it on over her jumpsuit, grabbed a pistol and rifle, pistol on right thigh below lightsaber, and rifle on back. Her other lightsaber was on her left hip. I'm all set here now. We have some gear back here if you want some. Appearently, whoever ownes this sub was going to bring it to Manaan.[/center][/sub]

Hutch spotted a hatch near the base of one of the pods. He could't tell if it was guarded from the outside but he didn't really care. That was a bridge they'd cross when they had too. He started the sub on a docking coarse and brought it up along side it. He hit the starboard thrusters and slid the sub up again the hatch.
"ok hit the clamps!" he yelled back over his shoulder. He unstrapped himself from the seat and got up, walking back to the docking collar.
