Communications/radio: <<>>

About an hour has passed since Himmel's ordered communications to be opened with the three task forces. She was sitting in her chair leaning back with both hands or well claws under chin as she looked at the holograms of them. Ori, Candog, Sean, Jean, Bane, Rizky, Crimson, Sabrina, Archon and Bell.

"Ok so I think I'll be first to ask but why did you contact only us and not the rest of the group?" Jean was the first to ask as he gestured to everyone while looking at Himmel's who simply smiled.

"Well isn't it obvious I got a mission that I specifically want you guys to do," Himmel's answered and with a tone that caused Ori to raise an eyebrow because to everyone else it seemed like a normal tone, but to Ori it was one that was hiding something darker and mischievous behind it, "Task forces ranger supported by raiders as well as Wolfpack will be attacking a planet that is currently contested between the CIS and the republic, objective is to kill and destroy high priority targets."

Now that worried some of them because Himmel's said that so casually not only that, but she said kill and destroy as well as targets as in plural meaning multiple.

"Uuuhhh, what are these high priority targets and why are we targeting them if I may ask?" Bane asked as he glanced over to his second in command who only really gave him a shrug as of course he also didn't know what they could be going after.

"I was going to ask the same thing because not going to lie why not just send one of the other task forces for this, I bet they are more suited for this than us?" Sean asked with a raised eyebrow as he crossed his arms.

"Or maybe just send only me and Sean?" Jean then asked as well, pointing to himself and Sean, "Like I'm very sure we can definitely do this just by ourselves and come back with the same results."

The response that was first given was of course one they or at least one of them didn't enjoy because at Himmel's just simply started to lightly giggle behind her hand before full on chuckling as she looked at them with a closed smile.

"To answer all of your questions, bane your objective is to destroy some cloning vats as well as a person named Kinman Doriana as for the reason why well both of these things will be a threat to us because Palpy will use those cloning vats and take them to his secret base to use to well clone himself most likely while Doriana will be a part of his little group." Himmel's explained first clearing up a few things before turning towards Sean and Jean with a dark smirk.

"As for your questions is because I know bane will be able to destroy the cloning vats while everyone else can make sure he will be able to achieve that while killing Doriana because he will have weapons to well destroy them if not then hopefully Candog or maybe Ori," She answered Sean's question which caused Ori to have a offended look before turning towards Jean with a less then happy look, "As for why I won't be sending just you two is very simple both of you aren't good enough, while I'm very sure you'll be able to complete such an objective it will be at the high risk of both of your ships being severely damaged or worse."

"Nah, I'm not taking such an explanation, I would like something better than just you saying that me and Sean are not enough because I'm pretty sure Sean's Yamato cannon can deal with most of the stuff that we probably will face." Jean asked while crossing his arms and glaring at Himmel lightly.

"Well then since you want to now he is a better explanation because firstly you overestimate his Yamato cannon while I'm sure it can do a lot of damage it won't be able to deal with the vats and two after seeing what happened at Geonosis I'm not taking any chances," Himmel's then leaned forward before continuing, "We encountered nearly double of what we were supposed to originally encounter and if that's the case with other missions then just simply sending two ships especially just you two will not be enough because what is in this battle it's supposed to be a Lucrehulk droid control ship and a Arquitens light cruiser not counting the clones, droids as well as the Jedi if I'm correct then their will either be more or there will be a different of set ships in this battle now do you understand why I'm doing this?"

Himmel's explained before catching a breath of air as she watched most of the people nod or think about what Himmel's said but Ori as well as several others still wondered why she and Candog were called.

"Good now Task forces ranger mainly bane will deal with the clone vats while the rest of you will protect him and eliminate Doriana those are the two I want dealt with 100%, but task force Wolfpack will be gaining a different objective on the planet and no it's not to get the DNA from the vats I'm not dealing with that BS, just make sure you guys don't die or get seriously injured," Himmel's stated as she looks over at one of her droids who nodded and went to one of the consoles, "Bane a BX droid will be arriving to your ship don't mess with it that goes for all of you, dismissed, now then you guys can go Ori and Candog you guys stay I have a mission for you guys."

With a snap of Himmel's fingers? Claws? She clapped her hands together, cutting communications with the two task forces before anyone could respond because she knew they would ask more questions that will eventually annoy her that's when she looked over towards the Candog and Ori.

"So, I'm just going to guess that you have a mission or task specifically for us that only we can do or something else?" Ori asked before sitting in her chair, crossing one leg over the other while leaning against one arm while Columbina laid her head on the armrest that Ori wasn't using.

"I was going to ask the same, are we killing someone or something as well, ooohh if we are, can I capture some vehicles I would like to experiment with a few things?" Candog asked while he sat in his own chair leaning against the armrest while tilting his head as Capitano stood next to him as Ori nodded, gesturing to Candog agreeing with what he said.

"Oh, trust me this mission I'm assigning you two specifically too is much more different and one that I'm sure you'll both enjoy." Himmel's said while standing up and looking at her claws before looking back at the two while Phoebe stood by her side.

"Now this mission is to tactically acquire something or in broader term, a capture/steal mission," Himmel's started with a small smile on her face as she watches their expressions as both Candog and Ori started to smile that would make many shiver in worry or fear, "There are certain ships that I truly want, no need in order for me to really be able to help us in future engagements."

"Considering you're asking us two I'm going to guess it's difficult then or we are going to be able to do it with little damage cause you're giving me compensation for this?" Ori asked while leaning back in her chair as she lazily pointed at Himmel who nodded at her question.

"Ok firstly, that is quite correct as one of the ship you can most definitely hack into Ori, it's a Lucrehulk droid control ship which is very special," Himmel's said as she pulls up the ship as well as all of the info on it, "Reason why I want you to capture one is because of its use as a command ship, I can use this ship instead this massive Lucrehulk which can be used as a main base and not only that but I know Ori is going to steal something that is on my ship so why not have you steal something that isn't mine such as the many droids that is on this ship."

"Hey, one fuck you, but you're not wrong I would definitely do something like that." Ori responded with a roll of her eyes as Himmel softly facepalmed.

"Ok so our objective is to capture a droid control ship for our only use, it seems reasonable but one how do we know if it's the ship that you want and two Ori, I want some of those droids for my own use?"  Candog asked while tapping his chin and leaning forward while Ori let out a huff giving Candog a small wave.

"Good question let me fix that, pull up the ship on the main screen," Himmel's ordered to one of the B1 droids who simply gave a roger roger before the B1 started typing away at its terminal pulling up the ship that Himmel's was talking about, the one that she wants captured.

"A real good way to tell if a Lucrehulk is a droid control ship or not is by the radar dishes and it's very easy to I guess control one as well in the name it's a control ship so just hacking one of these give you the potential to control multiple droids that are under it," Himmel's started as she points out several things to them, "First things first though Ori has to beam inside somewhere  preferably that has a terminal or she can just beam into the bridge and hack into the ship while half of the droids are probably not being controlled by the ship completely at least you'll have control over it to simply give a shutdown order to most of droids especially if you hack the main commanding droid if there is one."

"Ok, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but doesn't that seem I don't know a bit easy don't you think just beam in and hack into the ship and does that mean you have the same problem then since you're like a droid control ship?" Ori asked while staring at the schematics.

"Don't test your luck Ori even if you are able to hack into my ships systems you won't be able to put out a shutdown order as only me and second in command can especially since none of my droids will listen to you unless its verified by me, anyway once you taken over the ship make it jump to these coordinates," Himmel's pulled up the Star Wars map showing that they will going near the edge of the galaxy at grid square K-21, "Immediately by the way so that when it arrives I can start cleaning it up for us if you have to make the droids turn on each other than do so because this ship will help us a lot."

"Seems like a lot but what's in it for us again if I may ask because while I do want droids, I may want other things as well maybe a few republic equipment or vehicles." Candog stated while Capitano simply glanced at him before shaking his head lightly while Himmel rolled her eyes.

"There will be a republic force there and if you want to try to take one of those ships then you may I won't stop you just make sure to do it right because I rather not have you complain when something goes wrong," With a clap of Himmel's hands two commando droids walked up beside her as she gestured to them, "These two commando droids will help you and give you any information about the ships, is there any more questions?"

"I got one, when can I come on to your ship and actually see you in person?" Columbina glanced over at Ori already knowing what she is planning while Himmel's was too I guess mentally tired to understand.

"Yea after the mission though no are not allowed to take my droids like I said or else." Himmel's answered while shaking her head lightly and pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Yea Yea I know but with that I have no more questions to ask just wondering when we shall head out?" Ori asked while rubbing her hands together with a hidden smirk.

"You can head out after you get in contact with the others and when everyone gets their droids, oh and Candog your briefing Archon on this mission now go I have to do my own experimentations." Himmel's stated as she looked at a data pad she grabbed from one of her droids.

"Wilco mothership Candog out." Candog stated with a playful salute as he cut communications while Himmel's let out a groan.

"Tell me the results of your experiments when I get back Himms and try not to punch anyone while I'm gone if you do tell me the story, anyway, see you later dear!" Ori stated before cutting communications as Himmel's softly shakes her head with a smile as she looks at the Kyber crystal in her hand inspecting it watching its dim color that used to be bright.

"Phoebe make sure no one disturbs me while I'm doing my experiments, oh and tell everyone who is not a part of the mission to get ready to jump to the coordinates that will be sent to them, please and thank you." Himmel said as she inspected the dim Kyber crystal while walking out of the command room to her personal room.

This caused Phoebe to shake her head lightly as she turned towards the window watching a single shuttle leave the hangar heading towards the task forces.

"Well, you heard her everyone start transmitting the coordinates to the rest of the fleet and prepare for our departure," She said while standing beside Himmel's chair while rubbing her chin with a sigh, "And please make sure that we are going through hyperspace safe enough to avoid detection by other planets."

Timeskip

A few hours have passed and currently task forces, Ranger, raiders and Wolfpack are heading for Cartao. They are all currently in their forms of faster than light speed travel before they all started to drop out of it one by one looking at the system ahead of them, that's when they all put up communications with each other.

"Alright so we are here and why did we stop here not drop at the system to battle?" Jean was the first to ask, looking at the droids while crossing his arms, "Cause it would be a lot better to just engage their forces now before they can get prepared."

"I'm sorry but are you the taction here, no? oh right you're the support ship that only real purpose is to heal a designated person who is Sean so that's your main job as well the job of watching what the enemy does because I rather not have to report to Himms that one of our unshielded ships got hit because of something stupid," The first commando droid stated that was on Candog's ship as it shook its head with its arms crossed, "As for your question about why we didn't drop in closer is purely because we need to see what they have first and make a plan before we engage rather than when we are engaging."

"I mean the droid is right it's better if we plan now before the fight then during the engagement because we probably can't or won't be able to hear each other during such engagements," Sean stated before gesturing to each of the three commando droids, "Not only that but they no doubt know what they are talking about when it comes to what we may be facing and how we should face them."

Everyone looked back and forth at each other, shrugging, nodding as well as agreeing with what was said Ori and Candog didn't really make any gestures as they kind of already agreed with the droid since well it was Himmel's droid. After seeing that everyone was on the same page the droid that was in Ori's ship stepped forward.

"Well since all of that is done you can call me Triple I'll be the main one to give out the plans as well as possible orders," The droid then pulled up a map of the planet it wasn't exactly the most detailed but detailed enough, "The main reason for this if some of you don't know is because Palpatine will be using these cloning vats for himself personally after the battle and not only that but someone who will be apart of his little circle during the empire will also be here our objective is to take those two out of the equation."

As the droid looked at the others he took a little pause to see if anyone had any questions and one person did as Archon raised her hand.

"If I may ask, I understand the reason but won't that expose us to the outside world mainly to Palpatine?" Archon asked while putting her hand on her chin looking at the droid, and her question was a good one after all why are they doing it if they risk exposing themselves.

"Very good question and to answer that is simple we have already sort of exposed ourselves when destroying the fleet above Geonosis as well as when we went down to the arena to pick it of some of its resources," The droid put his hands behind his back while standing straight, "We are already exposed so this will only further solidify that a new force has arisen and Himmels already knows how to make sure we don't get hunted down."

"Ok now I have to ask but how are we taking out a cloning vat and high officials as well as anyone else who is on the planet without getting hunted down?" Sean asked while staring at the droid.

"Well let's just say that they can't really hunt us down because they have bigger issues to worry about, currently the biggest threat to us is the CIS because they actually have a navy, but how can they use that navy when they can't even find where we are," The droid then crossed his arms and even though he didn't have an expression Candog and Ori can just see the smirk on its face by its voice, "He can't find us with his force abilities nor can the Jedi, if Himmel's theory is correct, in that we are blanks in the force then anything that we decide to do can't be detected meaning the force won't be able to predict what we do in the future as anything we plan on doing or we will be doing will only leave a blank in that time where only we have the advantage."

It was completely silent as everyone let it sink in the kind of advantage they would have over all the force users as Candog spoke up.

"Sometimes I forget that Ori isn't the only dangerous mastermind in our entire fleet." Candog said with a sigh and a shake of his head while smiling.

"Ya know what I will take that as a compliment." Ori responded while giving Candog a small glance as triple snapped his fingers gaining everyone's attention again.

"Now then the plan is simple depending on what both forces bring in will depend on targets," The droid stated as he started to point everyone one by one, "Anything of a capital ship level the halo ships will target first with their main MAC guns the only thing you guys won't be targeting as heavily is the Lucrehulk you can probably shoot it a bit to weaken its shield but don't destroy it."

"Ok now it's my turn why are we not destroying the Lucrehulk it's no doubt the most dangerous ship." Bane asked quickly with everyone else thinking the same, lucrehulks are one of the most terrifying ships in this era why shouldn't they destroy this one.

"Easy question to answer Himmel's wants the ship captured, as he wants a secondary ship to use to not risk his main lucrehulk which he plans on only using against battlecruisers or large fleets." The droid responded quickly, making everyone who did not hear of this plan raise an eyebrow.

"Now wait a minute he wants to capture the droid control ship that is unbelievably dangerous and risky, who is gonna be doing that exactly?" Jean was the first one to question this plan that the droid had said.

"That's very simply Ori, Candog and Archon will be carrying out this mission mainly Ori the rest of you will be doing the other part of the mission of making sure the targets eliminated," The droid answer before looking at everyone, "And before anyone can ask if you wish to capture a ship you may but not at this moment as you have no need to because of the ships your are using."

Of course once again multiple people were about to complain and whine about what the droid said but before they could someone slammed something. That person being well Columbina having accidentally bent a bit of the chair she is sitting in.

"Thank you Miss Columbina now as I was saying the decision is final no more complaining we need to prepare, get your troops armed, your weapons primed, shields at the ready and get any starfighters you have ready to launch because this will be the first mission that will actually be dangerous to us," The droid said as he puts his hands behind his back, "Once this mission starts and we get into the battlefield I will immediately give all of you orders, please obey them to the best of your ability so that we can get through with very little damage to almost no damage."

"So then our biggest worry is whatever new ship or potential outliers that may come out to face us correct, what if the outlier is too dangerous for us to actually face?" Bane asked while tapping his chin thinking about what they could face during this mission.

"The only ship or ships as should say we would need to worry of are either other lucrehulks or an old larger ship from the republic and considering where we are about to fight I doubt we will encounter either of said ships." The droid quickly answered as it looked over at Bane before looking at the next person.

"And our only objectives are to capture the lucrehulk, destroy the vats and kill this high value target correct that seems easy but considering what I saw I'm not going to underestimate what the two sides might bring." Risky said as he crossed his arms while rubbing his chin in thought.

"As long as we stick to whatever plan the droid has for us we should win this battle with a few trophy's and a small amount of injuries." Crimson stated in an amused tone behind her voice as she puts her hands on her hips.

"Just make I'm able to my ordnance off on our targets, I rather not get hit in the ammo and blow up like the hood but ten times worse." Bane joked while shaking his head laughing nervously at the joke he just made that can also be a reality.

"Oh yea no you're staying in the back we are not having a hood situation on our hands and I'm sure no one wants to drag you to Himms in that kind of state." Bell immediately said while looking at Bane while crossing his arms.

The droid glanced at every single one of them watching them discuss among themselves before relaying a single message back to Himms one that only intercepted.

"Currently little to no problems the mission will be begin soon"
