Preach

He kept his place and moved forward trying to keep his knees from creaking too loudly. He smiled slightly, they were going to do something for life, that was good.

With the technician on a break the corridor outside the door is empty. The admin station is vacant, mid-repair.

Sirra keeps both directions covered with her disruptor rifle and on closer inspection Winta can be confident the helmet belongs to Lieutenant Bastian. She can sense his presence lingering on the personalised object, like hearing a familiar voice in a dream.

She knows Bastian to be an astute and capable officer. She recalls that Admiral Ackbar reassigned Bastian after D'Qar but wasn't privy to the specifics.

Preach might look over the door. Reinforced with a secure code-lock and fast-action. Probably the door to a magazine in Imperial times but now used as an interrogation cell by the First Order. Conveniently, the First Order have bypassed the lock.

Preach can now sense at least two lifeforms inside. The anguish of one prevents him from distinguishing the others, however.

Preach

He gets at least Winta's attention, hopefully, Sirra's too. He holds up two fingers so that they know that there are two life forms inside. Droids could be in there too, but he couldn't sense those.

Then he makes one hand wrap around one of the fingers like it is being restrained, and the other indicates the direction of the technician. He also grabs his lightsaber and lifts it out from his side.

He is ready to enter and do what is necessary.

Sirra awaits, her disruptor at the ready. She looks towards Preach, makes a slashing motion with a finger after pointing to both him and her, then looks towards Winta and simulates breaking a manacle, then raises an eyebrow.

Winta

She hesitated. Rescuing Lieutenant Bastian was not a part of their task. However she was also reluctant to leave an active enemy behind them if they continued.

She nodded to the other two.
"Let me see if I can distract him, whilst you go in and take out the interrogator."

She concentrated on the door and the life forces beyond it. 'Focus on the task in hand,' she inserted into both minds beyond the door. ' Ignore external distractions.'

As she did so she nodded to the others and indicated with her finger to go into action.

[So, open door, Preach and Sirra rush in. Preach with lightsaber, Sirra with disruptor. Winta following close behind. That sound about right?]

[Yes, but Winta is concentrating on having their adversary concentrate hard on what they are doing and pay less attention to the opening door.]

Preach and Sirra communicate quickly by signs, Winta speaks to them telepathically.

Committed, the plan is put action.

Like Preach, Winta struggles to get a fix on the other Sentients in the room beyond, due to the raw tormet emitted by the prisoner.

Preach presses the button on the wall panel, the door slides up into the ceiling and the two Resistance fighters enter.

The prisoner. A brown-skinned man in a red flight suit strapped to a surgical table. Sweating, grimacing in pain.

An IT-000 interrogator droid. Shiny, black, hovering in the air by prisoner's side. Its med tool is extended, reknitting the nails on one of the man's fingers whilst tearing the nail off another in a continuous cycle.

A First Order junior officer. Grey uniform. Young, thin, cruel-looking.

Wait! Beside the door, a black-clad fleet engineer in salet helmet.

Both have holstered blaster pistols. The officer is somewhat distracted but the engineer turns, is obviously surprised by what he sees and reaches for his sidearm.

Winta

Her whole focus shifted to the engineer beside the door. She reached out for his mind to paralyse his actions through indecision.

Preach

He leapt forward trusting Sirra for close-up work with the engineer by the door. With his lightsaber bursting to life its telltale violet blade raggedly reaching out into the air, the Jedi moved to the far foes.

He intended to block any blaster shots that might initiate from the torturer with his weapon. He also could destroy the bot with a strike, should he get close enough. Though it was healing, it was also hurting. Ideally, they could tell it only to heal, which would be a boon rather than have to carry out a wounded comrade.

Sirra moves in as quickly as she can, swinging the butt of the gun against the engineer’s head, and if that worked, moving to then orient at the ones being engaged by Preach.

She also engaged in a little psy-ops. Her voice snapped out in a harsh and chilling tone, chilling at least to any of the First order who have had run-ins with the ruthless ‘special operations’ arm of the First Order. Perhaps hearing a dreaded phrase will cause hesitation. At any rate, even if they were no longer ‘her’, the words came easy from her First Order days.

“I am Agent Beren, operative 1138x. Your dedication has been found wanting. Prepare for immediate corrective action.”


Perhaps this would at least confuse them and cause a moment of indecision.

Winta's mind hits something sharp. Not willpower but a sort of biological focus. A mind aroused by the pain inflicted on the prisoner.

The officer isn't deterred by her Mind Trick, drawing his SE-44C from its holster with practiced speed.

Likewise Sirra's ruse only buys her a milisecond of hesitation from the engineer. It's enough to give her an edge but Smoke Team's entry is so shocking and their appearance so Resistance, there's only one way to stop the chain reaction.

Like a blur, Preach lunges, a snapping motion with his wrists all it takes. The violet blade hisses as it severs the officer's arm just above the elbow. The arm smokes as it thuds to the floor but the blaster it grips does not.

The IT-000 swivels, arming a needle probe but Preach has it lined up and cuts through the droid with a shower of sparks.

Behind the old Guardian, Sirra grabs the engineer's wrist before he can level his weapon, jams the muzzle of her disruptor in his stomach and fires. A cloud of soot and cinders splashes against the wall and the engineer falls in half. The blast was muffled by the man's padded armour and shouldn't be heard above the nearby shooting range.

Winta's attention is still on the maimed officer. He scrambles across the smooth floor towards, what... a stray comlink! She has only a split second to stop him. What will she do?

Winta

With the Force she snatched the comlink away from the man, pulling it into her own hand if it will not pass close to him, or as far away as she can otherwise, meanwhile she activated her own light sabre to deal with any remaining threat.

Sirra

She had a grim look on her face, as those who had been with her could tell she was bothered by the brutality of vaporizing the engineer. This was no warrior. No soldier. Yet here she was ...

Why did she have to of all things grow a damnable conscience?

Winta thrusts out her hand and across the room the comlink is sent skidding out of the officer's reach.

Although lightsaber blades cauterises smaller blood vessels, arteries are too wide. Exsanguinating, the officer shudders and collapses onto his side.

"You will suffer... the Final Order." He mutters before passing out.

The engineer next to the door was killed instantly by Sirra's disruptor rifle, his midsection reduced to ash and embers.

With the IT-000 droid a pile of smouldering scrap, that leaves the rooms only Bastian for Smoke Team to deal with. Lying on the table, his eyes open a crack then he lifts his head.

"Captain an-Sorgan?" He croaks, recognising Winta and breaking into a white grin when he sees her brown Resistance armour.
