"Commander Dellalt" the Colonel began, already knowing his name. Her voice was firm and to the point. "We shall be dealing with it. If we need you, then we will send a request, otherwise go away. Now then Grand Admiral, i trust you have your team assembled?" She said, indicating him to pass through the open door.

Jalua walked into the throne room from her own luxury apartment, and saw a woman in a bulky type of dark armour, entering with Dan. Behind was a fuming Imperial Platoon Commander from his rankings, who was basically jumping up and down in anger. With a questioning look to the guards, she asked, "Who's put something in his drink?", they smiled slightly and turned to look again at the Imperial. "The Supreme Commander got kidnapped early this morning, he wants us to aid them in retrieving him" one of the guards said rather comfortably to the Empress. Nodding in understanding, she summoned for him too to enter, then noticed Dan entering with someone strangely familiar. Jalua was pale and stared long and hard at the Colonel who approached. The Director of the Naval Division also seemingly entered from beside her. "Empress, in the Navy we have been preparing for a new type of commando. This here, is Colonel Iram, she is the head of the Joint Reaction Force. They are a new regiment made from the best of all three services of our Empire. Their armour is based on the type four version of the CHEVLON armour system" he said, before getting cut off by the Empress. "Type-four? I thought type two was being prototyped?" she asked confused, "We are well ahead of that" he said with a smile, "We have also issued out many new versions and variants of our weapons and vehicles, by the time the regulars or even the elite's get their hands on new armour, we will already be several stages ahead. Anyway, she is going to lead a team of six to rescue the Supreme Commander" he concluded, waiting to see the Empress' response. "And where is he? Is six enough?" Jalua asked, still mystified on how she wasn't told about this special regiment until now. "Well, I originally wanted four, but i was told six minimum" Colonel Iram said to her, confusing Jalua further. "They have taken the Supreme Commander into a house deep in our woodlands. But we have the perfect opportunity, the six of our team with hopefully Black Moon support from their special forces to provide extraction shall secure that we conclude the mission well. The house is being watched by other members of the regiment who are equipped with sniper rifles in case anything goes wrong. They have counted a total number of Forty-Six members of the Black Guard. The six of us will make short work of them however" she said, revealing blueprints for the area of the house. "We have an exact model of the building and surrounding area already built and we have been memorising the layout of the surroundings, we will know exactly when we shall hit a wall and if necessary, we can walk around the house in pure darkness without equipment. Myself and a second squad member shall abseil from the roof of the building and storm these upper two windows" she said, pointing to the top floor. "We shall then set charges to this wall, which will enable us to clear the other two rooms before hitting the stairs which we shall also clear. Meanwhile, two troops will place a frame charge on this wooden section of the house, we expect the troops inside to be aiming at the doors, the explosion will splinter the wood and we shall kill off the remaining survivors. Another two man team shall enter through the back door once the upstairs and downstairs are beginning to be cleared, they will finish off any survivors, check the remaining rooms and then we shall head with the Supreme Commander into the forest. We will all carry enough medication to give him a temporary boost so that he can keep up with us, we shall then plant charges on the Black Guard freighter and blow it up once it leaves the forest canopy, this will be the signal for our own shuttle on behalf of the Black Guard to arrive and secure the landing zone while we take the Supreme Commander on board". There was a strange silence in the room for a few moments, the plan was sound, the troops were the best out of the millions the Coalition could offer, and the equipment was almost futuristic, although using old principles of enter and clear tactics. The group eventually looked at the Imperial Platoon Commander, who would no doubt have something to say about the operation.

Dellalt frowned. He was worried, not unduly.
"Who knows about this operation? Obviously Salanda has been infiltrated by this organization, otherwise those fake doctors would never have been able to go into a top security ward. So, we have to consider this operation has been compromised from the start."
Dellalt circled the map, and pointed out several things.
"We need to get two destroyers in position in orbit to intercept any aircraft that do manage to launch and become space bound. Also, do we know what weaponry and training these 48 individuals have?" Dellalt looked around, and saw everyone's blank face. Obviously this hadn't ocurred to anyone.
"Gyndine was the victim of a terrible attack by a pirate organization, then there have been a number of subsequent robberies and petty thefts. We have to assume these are somehow interconnected. Whoever abducted my Commander is highly trained, and if they are highly trained, that means they are likely to have some serious weapons. Even if they don't, they'll have a back up plan inside the house, and pre-determined positions."
Dellalt paused, and looked directly at Colonel Iram. "As a last thing. The Guardians are the Empire's best, and the three squadrons here on Gyndine are the best of the Guardians. We want in. It's our leader who is out there. Last time, the Salanda Royal Guard proved useless at preventing a kidnapping. Thus, it is only fitting that we are included, to ensure everything goes according to plan. Usually I would ask that all of my team go, but since this will be an in and out operation, I will be content if myself and four others of my team go."

OOC: Agreed... *twitch*
"Commander Dellat, we have spaceside covered. The 6th Special Forces is coming on station as we speak, and will be able to provide both orbital and fighter cover, along with extraction. I have several Reaper squads at the Embassy, so they should be able to provide support.
But I do think this should be a Coalition led operation. Their planet, their rules." said Dan.

"Agreed. They know the terrain better. But I want suitable Imperial representation." Dellalt smiled. At last the plan was coming together suitably. With the 6th providing orbital cover, the chances that something went wrong were greatly diminished.

"Well we shall find a need for your forces, I'm sure they can provide a bit of support for us. Here is the coordinates" Colonel Iram said to the snobby Imperial, pointing to the bottom of the blueprints where the coordinates were listed for the location. "I hope that we can work together, we are planning on hitting the house at the end of the week, unless we get indications that things are getting out of control". She still didn't trust the Imperials, now that they had the coordinates, they would be likely to form their own strike team and rescue him earlier, although it would no doubt be rushed planning and therefore risky since they didn't have the full intelligence or the time to gather it.

Dellalt put on his helmet before allowing any expression to come over his head. He knew that the Colonel didn't trust him, and that was fine by him. After all, it had been Salanda's finest who had been guarding Hammond's ward, and they hadn't even put up a fight when he was taken away. Dellalt activated his comm. link and started gathering the team.

Dan couldn't help rolling his eyes at the show before him. "Keep in mind my support won't be moved into position until just before the show. I want to keep the element of surprise for as long as possible."

Three days earlier than expected, the Special Forces strode into the Grand Hall, pushing the Supreme Commander's bed, who looked better than ever. The injection had boosted his health up, supplying his blood with a monumental amount of necessaties. Although most of it would be eaten by the disease, the remainder what got past the infection would help boost him up and give his body a fighting chance again. There was a diplomatic meeting with Coalition governments in the Grand Hall, Jalua herself had turned up to meet the guests, it was a welcome surprise even she did not expect. Colonel Iram saluted to the Empress and turned around, leaving the political announcement to the Empress. "People of the Coalition, the Supreme Commander's just being rescued by our armed forces. I trust your in good health?" She asked, turning to John, still in his bed which the troops had pushed him into the hall upon.
OOC: There you go John, sorry about the delay.

Dan jogged into the room, where he was met by two of his Reapers. Not wanting to interupt the proceedings, he leaned over and whispered "You guys miss me much?" One of the Reapers leaned in to speak with Dan. "We nearly called an emergency until you commed Admiral Duke saying that you weren't going to be returning to the Embassy. What happened, sir?" "I spent the night here." said Dan. "Uh, if you don't mind me asking sir, why did you order us to remain at the Embassy?" asked the Reaper. Dan glanced at Jalua, and looked back at the Reaper. "I wanted privacy." he said. The Reaper followed his gaze, and finally understanding, wordlessly returned to flanking position. "Yes sir." he said, before muttering "Daaaamn..." under his breath. "I heard that." said Dan. "Yes sir." replied the Reaper, with no display of emotion. Dan shook his head and stepped forward. "Ah, the Supreme Commander has been returned. Excellent." he said aloud, then nodded to Jalua with a grin. "Admiral Duke wanted me to commend your special forces on their speed and precision, and that he wishes to maybe get together with them in the future."

Jalua smiled, she wasn't really surprised that Dan was congratulating in front of all the guests. "I think all of the thanks needs to go to-" she turned, and noticed the squad had gone, as quickly as they entered. "Well, they have done us proud" she concluded, turning back to John. "How are you feeling?" she asked positively, her tone showing friendliness.

Dellalt was studying the coordinates when Hammond was brought back. He tightened his face as he nodded at the messenger. Daaamn, he muttered under his breath. Zorko's reply caught him by surprise, and he almost snapped to attention until he realized it was the Reaper who had been told off.
John was feeling relatively better than before. The injections had worked, they had not aleviated the pain, but they had provided another target for the nano-robots, giving his body time to recover. He realized the shameful position he was in, but he didn't care. At least, for now, he was alive and well.
"Empress, Grand Admiral." John nodded at both f them, not really able to do anything else. "Thank you for your kind attention at the Hospital, those three doctors were excellent. However, I'd like to especially thank you for the Elite Spec. Ops. demonstration that you organized for me. I am truly convinced now that your forces are superbly trained, and able to deal with the most strenuous situations." John smiled, hoping the joke would be taken kindly. Having a personal background in Spec. Ops., he knew that these commandos would likely be too proud to admit it had been a difficult operation, or even challenging. However, if they were willing, he could offer them something as a thank you gift.
OOC: What happened to the Co-op operation?

OOC: Actually, I have no idea. I thought Smurfy had talked to you about rescuing you, and you were in on it.

OOC: Nobody was doing anything so i went ahead and did it. There was no posts or anything significant, and i was getting questions about what to do next from seemingly everyone. So now John is back and we can all continue hopefully. It was a joint-operation, the Black Moon was involved.
