The Talons Revenge and the Coalition shuttle came out of hyperspace, closely followed by the 6th Special Forces. "Are all the Reapers still with the 6th?" he asked Admiral Duke. "Yes sir. We never had time to send them back." replied Duke. "Good. Unload them all. They are the only ones with a chance if their are jedi down there." said Dan. "Admiral Price, we're unloading the Reapers. Feel free to go down at any time."

"You won't need them" he said, indicating with a motion of his hand to Talia, who was sat beside him. "I've brought along a Jedi Knight" he said with a smile. Talia Lenora knew the Empress from the temple, and had recently arranged an interview with a Republican Admiral where Dan was present. Although Price knew nothing of the meeting, he did hope that Dan realised the potential of having a Jedi Knight to support his forces.

"Actually, I could do with some support since I'm taking on two of them. I can find this Dark Jedi and arrest him, but I will need help if an assassin is nearby. If your forces can provide some distraction, I'll do the best that i can" she said with a smile to Dan, in understanding that Admiral Price didn't really know anything about what ground forces could achieve.

"And the AVALON armor is going to be the only thing that will be able to stand that kind of abuse." Dan said to Price. He turned to an officer. "Ready my armor." "The AVALON or AVALON/s, sir?" asked the officer. "AVALON. The AVALON/s is going to be uneffective with a Force sensitive down there." said Dan. The officer saluted and left. "Sitrep on the troop movements?" Dan asked. "The Reapers have finished setting up and are ready to go on your command. The troops from the 5th and 6th are establishing a secondary perimeter with backup from the starfighters from the 4th and 6th." came the reply. "Good." said Dan. "Tell the Reapers not to move until me and the Jedi arrive." "Sir, your armor is ready." said the officer, who had just returned. "Good." said Dan. "Excuse me for a momment." he said to Price and the Jedi.
5 minutes later, he returned, with the helmet clipped to the belt and a rifle slung over his shoulder. "A CAMELOT gunship is waiting for us in the hangar. Shall we go?"

Nodding, Price stood aside to let the Jedi Knight go along with Dan. Before they left however, Price put in one final comment, "Remember, that Dark Jedi holds information too. We need both alive, but don't worry about giving them operations or face surgery". With a nod, he acknowledged the work they was going to do and began to bore the other soldiers and crew on the shuttle with 'back in the war' stories.

As Dan walked down the halway with the Jedi, a squad of Reapers joined them. "Sir, are we seriously going to take down a jedi?" asked Don Azul, leader of Dan's security contingent and head of the Reapers in general. "No." said Dan. "She is." He pointed at the Jedi. "Our job is to take down the cloaked fellow. Evidently the person is some assassin or something, we're still reviewing those security tapes to try to figure anything out we can." Don shook his head, and put his helmet on. "I don't like this, sir." he said. "Neither do I. But the Empress's life depends on this. We aren't going to fail. Make sure your men's armor is sealed. Completely." said Dan. "The AVALON should be able to take the brunt of the attack." "Sir." said Don, and commed the orders. At this point, they reached the hangar, where a trio of CAMELOT gunships and a squadron of TIE Defenders were waiting to take Dan, the Jedi, and the last of the Reapers down to the planet. When everyone had boarded, the CAMELOT Gunships "ran" out of the hangars and jumped into space. Retracting the legs, the gunships pulled into formation and started to descend towards the planet.
"So what exactly is your plan?" asked Dan to the Jedi as they descended through the atmosphere.

"Well" began Talia, looking out of a viewport as she spoke. "I will be best to handle the Dark Jedi or Sith, whoever it is. The Assassin will no doubt make a run for it, not wanting to get involved in a force-user's battle. Get your men securing a perimeter where there can be no escape. It won't be an easy task, but I'm sure you will pull it off. Bring in a squad to assist me if i need it, we will capture the first threat and then tighten the perimeter until we literally surround the assassin. She will no longer have any ability to dodge, her key asset. I will have to supervise the holding of the first prisoner however, it would be far too risky to leave alone or without sufficient supervision. If you will allow, I can make a call to the order and have them bring in extra numbers to make sure nothing happens".
OOC: Good time to bring in Caedus knowing Sal from before perhaps?

"We're already establishing several layers of perimeter as we speak." said Azul. "Good." said Dan. He cocked his head for a momment as a transmission came in. "Ok, tell Fran to stay put and talk to them. I have a feeling they'll be coming to her." said Dan, and signed off. "Imperials over all my planets." he said. "They've stopped for now, we have one of our ambassadors talking to them. As long as they stay put, we go ahead with this op."
OOC: Yeah, bring him in.

OOC: Right, I'll continue this tomorrow then, and we'll see what happens when John comes back.

With the shuttle descending deep into the streets of the city, Talia wondered how deep the two actually was. It finally lowered it's ramp and his the ground, where she with the others headed out and soon found themselves going through a series of buildings, down further into the belly of the floating dome. Sure enough, they found quite a lot of people ready to storm into the room they were contained within. Talia headed forwards to survey the area in front of them, checking to see what was inside. With several possible ambush points surrounding the door, she decided to turn to Dan. "If we all go in, they will cut us down. Let me go in alone first and I will create the distraction required for your soldiers to go in. I'll get the rogue while you get the Assassin" she said to him, standing in the narrow corridors where seemingly hundreds of soldiers was awaiting the order to move in.

"Got it." said Dan as he put on his helmet and hefted his rifle. He turned on his comm. "All right boys, lets do this!" he yelled, and got cheers in return.

Talia walked through the open doorway and could feel the fingers on the triggers of two rifles trained at her. Walking forwards she turned and saw them both in brilliant positions, ready to take down the mass of force outside. "You are surrounded, give up" shouted Talia, grabbed her lightsaber from her belt, hopefully that would give them a little bit more of an encouragement to surrender.

Thm-humm came the noise of Delona's lightsaber, it's vibrant orange blade ready at her side. Delona rushed through the window in front of her and charged towards Talia while bursts of fire came from Sal's blaster rifle, giving a few precious moments distraction for Delona to do her attack.

"Go go go!" yelled Azul, who was still with Dan. As soon as that order was given, the Reapers started to rush in. Blaster fire peppered a few of the troops, but the AVALON armor held, especially at that distance. 2 squads started to make their way along each side of the room.

Talia ignited her blue blade and deflected three of the shots perfectly away from her in Soresu form (like Luke Skywalker ROTJ deflecting shots from speeder bike in forest). She had just enough time to briefly shield herself from the blow of Delona's lightsaber before ducking, spinning around and walking backwards. By doing this, she allowed herself to become immersed into the advancing line of the soldiers, which gave her enough time to cook up a counter-attack while Delona would be forced to deflect incoming fire.
