Jor exited hyperspace along with Drake in the Greater then Her Parts. The ship was old and Jor was happy it had made the jump. it's frame groaned as he put it into an arc to take them around to the day side of the planet.
"I'll take us through traffic to the night side then land us in the hornets nest. We're out of our jurisdiction on this one so we aren't going to be making arrests. If someone sees us, he leaves with us as a prisoner or stays behind in a body bag." Jor said.
He put the headset on and opened a com with the traffic controller. "Taris ATC, this is private freighter Greater then her Parts requesting pattern for night side atmospheric drop."
A few seconds later a female voice came back over the line. "Roger that Parts, your clear for night side reentry. Sending you vectors now."
"Thanks Taris ATC, see you ground side." Jor said before shutting the com off.

Drake opened his eyes when he heard Jor speaking "You make it sound like I got a problem with leaving someone in a body bag" he said to him as he reached in his cloack and pulled out his saber. He started checking over it he finally finished and put it away Drake listened to the conversation Jor was having with traffic control. Once he was finished Drake cracked his neck "So, whats the plan here, we just go in killing or our we actually gonna have to do some sneaking around" Drake asked him.

"well like i said, we can sneak around if you want, but if someone sees us we have to either kill em or knock em out to take as prisoners later." Jor answered.
The ship became a dull red as it sped through the upper atmosphere. Jor kept up the speed as long as he dared before firing the repulsorlifts and halting their decent. He brought the ship down to skyscraper height and lazily ducked and weaved between a few building tops.
It was about another hour before he found their target. He began circling and examining the building from the outside.
"I'll land as soon as i get confirmation that Merlin is in system. then we'll have some fun."

Drake sighed "Sneaking isn't any fun...can't we just run in there and fight everyone" he said as he stretched. He pulled out a flask and took a drink from it he then looked at Jor "Want some?" He asked him Drake then thought about it "Maybe not a good idea to drink and drive" he said as he put the flask away. He kicked his feet up and closed his eyes again "Well if I fall asleep wake me when they get here" He said.

Jor put the ship through it's landing cycle and leaned over to nudge drake awake. "hey, we're landing, time to find your pissed off angry emotional center."
Jor let the autopilot land the ship and went back to the secret compartment. He opened it up and pulled out three small automatic blaster carbines and one small grenade that resembled one of those old film capsules.
He attached straps to two of the carbines and slung them over his shoulder then hefted his, makeshift mortar canon. He tied a strap to it and a handle on the barrel so he could aim it with his other hand.

Drake woke up fairly quickly "Right right" he said as he stood up and stretched he started to get ready. "Lets move out" he said as he went to the hatch of the ship eagerly waiting for it to land so they could get the mission going.

The Merlin exited hyperspace over Taris and started it's landing sequence on the planets day side. Shipmaster Keldon had the helmsmen land the ship on an open landing pad a quarter of a mile south of the target building, but not before doing a flyby.
He keyed the intercom on his command chair to the squad bay where Rita and the others were preparing. "Looks like there's a skyway to the buildings 30th floor and the hanger deck is on the 80th floor. Jor and Drake will be fighting their way down so i suggest you fight your way up to meet them. I'll deploy my crew around the building to catch anyone escaping."
Rita cued the com on their end and responded. "Roger that shipmaster, we'll exit the ship and prepare for their signal, whatever it may be."
Rita walked over and lowered the boarding ramp then turned to the group. "Ok everyone, lets get set up. when we get Jor and Drakes... signal, we'll break in and fight our way up to them."

"Ok" Jor said. he hit the button and the boarding ramp began to lower. He put a 45 second timer on the grenade he picked out then jammed it into the trigger guard of one of the automatic blaster carbines he picked up.
The carbine started shooting wildly and Jor threw it down the ramp. The carbine bounced and skidded down the ramp and onto the hanger deck shooting wildly in all directions. Curses and shouts echoed up the boarding ramp followed by the loud bang of the grenade 45 seconds later.
"After you Mr. Hellion."

Daus Lee stood up and walked out behind Rita waiting on her to tell him when to move. He drew two pistols and two light sabers not igniting them.
"Rita what is the signal from Drake and Jor?"

"Oh trust me you know whenever they land what the signal is," Ashley said as she grabbed her blaster. "Especially if Drake's driving you know when he lands unless it's Jor driving." She grinned slightly.

Drake watched as Jor threw the blaster with a grenade in it. He looked on "Not what I woulda particularly done...but it gets the job done I guess..." he laughed as he jumped off the boarding ramp. Drake landed just as the explosion died down he pulled out his purple saber and looked around. "They're takin cover!!!" he yelled back up at Jor. Suddenly a few came out from behind the cover and started shooting Drake put his saber up blocking some of the bolts "I take that back!"

Jor charged down the ramp and held his mortar canon out. "Cover shouldn't be a problem."
Jor pulled a mortar from the box and let it slide down the tube. a second later it erupted from the tube and flew across the hanger exploding against a far wall spewing shrapnel. Jor picked up another mortar and swung the launcher around and pointed it at the other side of the hanger before dropping the shell into the tube and sending it flying across to the other side of the Hanger.
"We need to find a way to send a signal to the others." Jor said.

Drake laughed as he blocked another bolt killing the man that shot it. "A signal" Drake said as he ran around looking. "What would make a good signal?" He said as he ran towards some people shooting him Drake threw his hand out knocking them all back with a massive force push. It also blew open a door Drake ran over to it and smirked "I found this..." he said looking at a load of explosives. "Its enough to light up the sky for a few hours...this may work as a signal" he turned around and cut someone hand off. "Just shoot it" Drake told Jor.

Jor launched a mortar into the pile of various explosives. The plastic explosives didn't detonate right away but there was a lot of other home made chemical explosives, a barrel of Kerosene, and several large clumps of TNT.
The resulting explosion blew out the side of the hanger bay jetting fire and debris off the side of the building. Jor's visor polarized from the flash and his armor pressure sealed to protect his ears from the bang. When he looked back the light of the Taris skyline and starry sky showed through the hole.
"I don't know... you think that was too subtle for the others to see?" Jor said smiling. He dropped the mortar launcher and picked up the automatic carbines hanging from his shoulders, one in each hand.

Drake watched as Jor fired the mortar "Wait wait" he yelled as he ran away just before it exploded. Drake along with several of the men were blown away by the explosion. After it died down Drake stood up next to Jor dusting himself off he rubbed his eyes "Oh crap I'm blind!" he yelled he then stopped "Oh crap I'm deaf!!!" he put his hands on his ears "Oh man this is sick...what the hell do my sense of taste heighten now" he said as he walked around unable to tell where anything was. "I wonder when my sight and hearing will come back!!!" he yelled as he ignited one of his sabers.
