Ash was outside when he heard Roland's final call, and the dragoon was coming to a rest, hatch already opened. Four marines, a medic, Sargent John forge, and a man in large armor that looked like Ash's assault armor, with some modular changes to it, were hopping out, weapons at the ready.
We are leaving when my partner comes out of there. We have less than two minutes. What, no hello? Well, nice guy you are. Relax, John. We will have plenty of time to talk on our way to our next destination. Roland, I'll be seeing you. Give Akira my reguards for not being able to see her. Tell Mandalore that I am training. Load up, John.
Everyone was in the Dragoon, and heading up to the Paradise lost Minutes later, they were gone. [/sub]

The hellbound dropped out of hyperspace, above the planet socianis, and started sending out fighters. They cought sight of the Paradice lost, prepairing to jump, and quickly sent a message. Where are you going vode? Werda said, cautiosly. ___________________________________________________________ Tlan smirked, as Devon made an assumption that he had left the Ylsamir outside. He quietly moved his arm, and the removed the backpack he and most of his men carried, opening the snapping lid, and out crawled his ylsamir, but only for a second, before it ran back into the pack, and he flipped it back over his shoulder, securing it. In these situations, we are tought, never go anywhere without the lizards. He quietly lifted a WESTMAR pistol, and took aim. Now, what was that about ordering me around?

Devon looked up and noticed that Tlan had the lizard in his backpack. “Good for you but that wouldn’t stop me from breaking out if I really wanted to try.”
Then she smiled innocently. “I was not ordering you around,” she said as she sat down in a chair and propped her feet up on the table and crossed her legs.
“Now since you have bored me with every question in the book can I go?” she asked.

This is Captain James Cutter of the carrier Paradise lost. We are taking Ash with us for now. Don't worry, we are not kidnapping him. He should be in his meditation chamber right now, not to be disturbed. You can tell whoever has command over him that he is with us. We shall remain in system so you can continue keeping an open channel with us.
Paradise Lost [/i] revved down its hyperdrive, and instead left orbit, heading outward into the system, but it kept its comm open on all Mandalorian ships in the system.[/center][/sub]

Roland finished arming the bomb, dead center of the facility, and turned to the door. All mandalorian ships in orbit, Fall back. Det time is set to two minutes and counting... He sighed, as he heard a noise before him, took aim with his WESTMAR 34 blaster pistol, while drawing his Vibro-blade. He quietly set the timer on his hud to 2 minutes, and breathed in, looking out of the room as he slowly exhaled, and as the last of his breath left him, some 10 seconds later, he burst into a sprint, dead forward, the way he had come. He made it into a few rooms without problems, seconds seeming to last forever, and the rooms ever longer, until the fourth room, and the stairway leading up. Towards the sides of the rooms were humans, that looked mutated to a degree from the virus. He sprinted through them, the creatures shocked for a moment, but broke into chase, that lasted until the grenades Roland dropped behind him went off. The creatures flew against the walls, or ceased to exhist, but those who survived started the chase anew. Roland made it to the stairs, 40 seconds off the origional 2 minutes, and started hopping up them 3 sometimes 4 at a time, making fast way up the 4 floors that kept him from the surface. His motion tracker cought a glimpse of movement behind him, and audibly warned him, but he didn't stop, rather, priming and dropping a thermal right where he stood that moment. The grenade stayed on the step for a moment, and 10 seconds later, exploded with deadly force. Roland, having made it to the next landing, and starting to rise the next set of steps, was thrown forward, and slamming into the stairs. He quickly rose and began running again, feeling extreme pain lance through his side, and it was getting harder to breath. 1minute 20 seconds down, and 2 floors to ascend still, Roland started thinking he wasn't going to make it out in time. Rather than stop and face death, Roland double timed it making the pain that much more, and barelly made it to the end of the stairway, with 10 seconds left on the clock. He didn't stop at the stairs, but sprinted forward, hearing noises behind him, and noting the tell tale blips on the motion sensors of the infected on his ass. He made it through the hole he had blown in the enterence, and out of the cave with 3 seconds on the clock, and no way he could think of getting the hell out of dodge before the blast ate him up, but before he could turn, a metalic scrape behind him, and a sudden explosive force through him forward and up into the air, but he did not go back down. A loud explosion sounded behind him, as a bestial roar closer to him shook the air. The 30 megaton nuclear warhead ripped the base to pieces, killing any survivors in the base, while demolishing the superstructure of the facility, but roland knew that wouldn't have sent him flying, that would have killed him instantly. He looked back, as best he could, to see the battle claws of Werda, his Besuliik war droid, extended fully, as the droid itself, flew straight as an arrow away from the explosion. Roland carefully slipped back, until he was in the harness, and slipped in and out of conciousness, as Werda made fast time back to the mjolnir. ________________________________________________________ Werda sighed, I trust that he has finished his mission then, and will be heading back home? he said, but as he finished, a nuclear explosion on the surface eruped, brightening the planet a little. What the hell were they up to here? werda thought to himself. ___________________________________________________________ Tlan smirked, and said, You are to stay in this room until proper holdings can be made. Enjoy your little rest... He quietly stood, and turned to leave, and as soon as he left the room, a com link opened on his wrist com. A younger lieutenant said, Sir, nuclear explosion on the surface, lone Basulisk wardroid returning. Its Werda. Tlan smirked, and said, Good. We will be leaving shortly.

I would think so. Ash came back and told up to leave the planet. I would assume that everyone would be finished down there. [/i] James Cutter looked out the planet, and watched as the nuke went off. The bridge was quiet as the light died down. The shock wave made it way outward from the planet, and he could only morn the poor souls that died down there. Do you need anything else from us?[/i][/center][/sub]

Werda shook his head. You planned on leaving the system, and we stop you, and a moment later a nuke goes off. Systems picked up a departing ship. Either thats a survivor, or thats one of ours. Werda looked over at Talos, who had been quiet thus far, Who's leading officer of this op? He asked Cutter.

I picked up Ash's transponder from a shuttle of his, and arrived here. We picked him up, and you decided to open a channel with us. Whoever is the commanding officer down there happens to be unknown to us. [/i] James turned around as he heard the bridge door's open. Ash walked in, helmet still on his head. He stood next to James at the communications station. This is Commander Ash Lightning. Roland Drakain is the commanding officer of this mission, and the one who set off the nuke. He knows what I am doing, but the question is, are you going to be the one who tries to stop me.[/i] With a nod, the hyperdrive was spun back up, but didn't engage. He would wait for now. Ash wouldn't leave without telling. He already told Roland, but he didn't want this other person to think he would leave without a reason.[/center][/sub]

Sounds like a threat ner vod. Watch your tone, before someone fixes it for you. Werda said with a snarl. He disliked it when he was talked down to, for asking a question. Where is Roland Drakain now. He growled. He was getting tired of this little conversation.

I am unsure, Vode. He is probably riding out the shock wave. I'm tracking him right now with the force. He is alive, but how hes going to make it to orbit here soon, I don't know. You could send out a party to try and find him in the chaos down there. [/i] Ash stood back, closed his eyes, and reached out with the force to find Roland. The nuke sent all sorts of electrical problems out around the planet, so tracking him that way was difficult. Using the force, he made the ride for him.[/center][/sub]

Shadow sighed, before looking towards Talos, turning off the communications, temporarily. Keep an eye on the paradise lost. If they look like they are about to jump, ion their engines... He looked back to the view screen as a small portion of space jumped towards them, that being the area right above the planet, as a Besuliik wardroid continued to rapidly climb through the atmosphere. Find the course of that ship. If it needs assistance, send out a longsword or two. Dancer, you have command of the two, remote them if need be. Dancer nodded, before fading off the holo pad. _________________________________________ The basulisk, Werda quickly ascended through the atmosphere, its emp hardened systems harldy noting the explosion of the nuke. All that mattered to the ship was getting its pilot home in one piece. The droid made a growling sound, as it closed in with the Mjolnir, and moved to one of the lower hangers. Flight crews moved in rapid haste, clearing a space for the droid, and medics ran forth, to take Roland into thier care. ________________________________________________ The 5 marines who had gone with ash moved to the bridge of the Paradise lost, 3 hanging out outside of the bridge, while the medic, and one of the elites moved in to talk to the man. What, no ride back to base? The elite said, before saying, We aren't stickin with ya forever shorty. He ended with a chuckle.

Ash turned to look at James, who was looking out at the distant planet. There were no ships in weapon range, and they had an easy path out in any direction. He turn when the marines entered the bridge. He looked down at the elite officer that
You will find your war droids in quick launch tubes. You can head back to Roland, who is back at the mission site. The mission is over now.
The Marines nodded, turned and left. A couple of minutes later, the droids and the marines were shot off, heading back to Socianis and Elifain. As soon as they were clear, Ash nodded to the helmsmen, and before anyone could think about getting a shot off at them, if they were within range, they were off and out of the system now. [/sub]

Roland woke up in the med bay a short while later. The ebacta tank he was in was almost all that was keeping him from slipping into a coma. 3 broken ribs, 1 punctured lung, a shattered arm, a bad burn, and a mess of internal bleeding later, and he was still alive and kicking. The thermal was not a good idea in such a close courters area. He flet the ship moving slightly, and one of the medics noticed him awake. We are going back to mandalore, sir, and we have an escort for the moment. The hellbound has joined in as an armed transport back to friendly space. Roland closed his eyes again, and fell asleep, knowing he would next wake up over mandalore.

Devon looked at Tlan as he left and she sighed. This is torture enough, she thought. She looked up and stood up in her chair and she made one of the ceiling tiles come loose and she pulled herself inside the vent and put the tile back in place. She decided to go exploring on the ship.

As Devon climbed into the vents, the ship jumped to hyperspace, along with the lysander, heading towards the mandalore system.
