Capítulo 31: Chapter 030:
Chapter 30: Ship Procurement Pt.2
34 BBY (Before Battle of Yavin) - 2 Years before Canon
Sector/System: Bandomeer
Location: Bandomeer Planetside - outside 'Meerian Ionite Ventures'
On the second ship, Korar and Bravo split up and the unlucky trooper at the door waiting for Lark was not happy at all.
'Great I knew getting the short stick would bite me in the ass, now it's babysitting duty for me while the others have fun.' Bravo 3 who was waiting at the door opening thought grumbling.
Those unhappy thoughts became worse when the shooting started.
"... Thanks for waiting" Lark said, before being pulled into the ship and going face-first into a wall
"Trash, now get up and follow" Bravo 3, spoke in a hateful tone
Lark's POV:
'I can't believe my luck! Thank you, you old bastard… dam such a fine ass.' I could not help but think and smile under my helmet
I mean 'Bravo 3' is slightly older maybe by a year or two, and the youngest daughter of that lazy bones, guess I have a good future.
"So, wanna grab a bite when this is over?" I asked before looking at the ceiling from the ground again.
"You're Bantha shit! I'd rather die than be with someone incompetent like you!" I heard her say with a kick to my boot
"Now get up and follow we have to secure the ship." she growled at me turning around and walking away.
I quickly followed her, but this was the first time I'd been on a ship like this, so I had no idea where we were even going.
"We going to the bridge or engines?" I quickly asked noticing she kept throwing me out of the squad communication group
"Cargo, you imbecile. The boss has already taken the bridge and the others have already taken the engines. So we go to the cargo hold because I hope for your life I get to shoot at least something in here!" she growled at me waiving her twin pistols in my face, before turning and walking away again
'Man, so feisty, I'll make sure to tame you just you wait.' I thought smiling underneath my helmet and quickly following her
"Ah, shit! Boss cargo bay now!" I heard her speak likely in the squad coms I got thrown out of again.
When I looked around her I paled and I hoped the old man got the codes to deal with this.

A few moments before Lark finally got to the ship Korar and Bravo 2 had gone towards the left in the direction of the bridge.
Korar the Lazy Bones POV:
[Sir is it wise to leave her with Lark? She might just kill him.] Bravo 2 said to me over the coms
[Maybe, but she needs to learn sometimes you don't get what you want in a fight or during a mission, and frankly, I hope she can teach that brat some manners he's obsessed with Rin and thinks any pretty face he sees will be his as a bonus.] I told him while shooting a pirate in the hallway
[I guess so, kinda makes you wonder if we went too easy on him when he grew up and he became delusional because of it?] he said to me dropping a peeking pirate with a clean shot in the head
[Who knows, what I do know is pirates never change their designs, mess hall right side.] I told him, watching him pull a few grenades.
Where did he hide those? My daughter is the grenadier, carrying all the explosives.
I guess, when I looked at him, he answered with a shrug of his shoulders and his answer made me laugh.
[Always keep some at hand sir, never know when you need them.]
[Hahaha! Darn right you are, now get ready going to open the doors.] I told him with a laugh
All I got was an affirmative checkmark on the squad list watching him nod my way.
The moment I opened the door and watched him throw the grenades I closed the doors when shots flew passed us.
[Fuck! Am I glad they can't shoot for shit, sniper back room nicely in the middle.] I heard Bravo 2 say
[A sniper? Interesting…] was all I said when two explosions happened.
*BOOM* *BOOM*
I watched the motion tracker have multiple red dots disappear, so I quickly put my pistols away and then pressed the door sensor.
When it opened I rushed to the left grabbing an enemy, since my hands were free I was able to do a nice knee in his stomach before watching him get shot and letting him go.
I continued to the next one that tried to run showing me his back, a little pull on his shirt, an arm around the neck, and… *Snap*
I grabbed my pistol with my right hand and used this dead fool as my shield walking further.
While I did this I saw that Bravo 2 had done the same on the right.
This let us walk further forward when I let go of the dead pirate and kicked him forward and put my left hand in their direction shooting flames at them and watching them burn and scream and look in horror.
Bravo 2 I noticed dropped his own meatbag of a shield and grabbed his sword rushing forward while they all looked at the flames and their burning fellow pirates.
When I stopped the flames I heard the clear call of Bravo 2 who as it seemed rushed through the remaining enemies easily while they had been distracted.
"Just need to check the kitchens and were done here, should be a clear way to the bridge from then on." I told him, watching him swing his sword watching the blood fly off and leave a clean sword
"Indeed sir, need pistols for that or just a grenade will do only have one left, and well knowing how bad they keep things working… it could blow the kitchen up and maybe the ship with it." he said putting his sword away
"True that, they tend to cook on gas… the same gas used for weapons… fucking morons." I told him
"Well, then time to deal with this" he said opening the door and walking inside and soon back out.
"Empty sir." he said making me nod to him and walk outside with him following
[Alright just this hallway and the bridge, judging from the shooting the lads at engines have tons of fun] I told Bravo 2
[I guess so… really?] I heard him say as we entered unopposed into the bridge not seeing anyone there
[Captain's quarters?] I nodded to him when he asked this
I did see multiple blips in there but what surprised us both was when we opened the door
"Don't shoot! were slaves!" we heard a female voice scream at us
[I'll go first, sir.] Bravo 2 said moving inside weapons ready
I quickly followed him and saw indeed only people in here with collars around their necks going into the walls
"Clear, where the fuck is the captain?" I heard Bravo 2 say and ask
"That bastard left for the mines, our ship was the first to land, we have not eaten or drank anything for the entire day, and even before we barely got anything." I heard this Twi'Lek say
[What we do sir? Tree slaves here, let them stay here until the ship is clear, or let them go now and go for the mess hall?] I heard him ask and I made the choice straight up
"You three will stay here for now until we secure the ship, you likely get in our way or do something stupid and get killed." I told them in a dry voice
"We can't even leave the room even if we wanted to, we do not have the codes." I heard the Twi'lek say in a sad tone
"Check the data pads, if we find other slaves on the ship we're gonna need those." I put my weapons away and saw Bravo 2 do the same and start checking around.
— — — — —
Back towards the engine room, the last two-man team of Bravo were walking.
[Think the boss hopes those two hook up?] Bravo 4 Asked
[Have you lost your mind? the boss his own daughter? and that idiot Lark?] Bravo 5 spoke in an exasperated voice
[Oh right, yeah ain't happening then… can't believe I forgot that part.] Bravo 4 answered shaking his head.
[Whatever, just focus. We are already at the engines and motion sensors show it's full of enemies, high and low.] Bravo 5 stated
[Let's see who takes high and who takes low.] Bravo 4 said showing a fist in his other hand
Bravo 5 did not look amused and pressed the door sensor, forcing Bravo 4 to grab his weapons again
[Sigh, you're always like this. Learn to have some fun along the way, you're way too stiff.] Bravo 4 grumbled
[Why do you think you are with me and not with Lark, idiot.] Bravo 5 said leaning out and shooting once dropping a pirate from the high ground who fell over the railing onto the ground
[Fair enough, even though I'm not happy with how pathetic he's shown to be, with the rest of us I can joke while knowing we all do our jobs but with him?] Bravo 4 said quickly throwing a few grenades into the room.
[Flash out!] Bravo 4 said, making him and Bravo 5 wait around the corner soon hearing cursing and yelling from inside.
Bravo 5 rushed in and used his jetpack to get high upshooting those on the walkways.
Bravo 4 grumbled and rushed inside on the low ground shoulder checking a Zabrak before shooting him and the two behind a console.
After Bravo 5 had cleared the high ground of the few that were up there he started shooting downwards at the few pirates in the back of the room
Bravo 4 on the other hand pulled the emergency lever to stop the engines from activating.
[And done, you know I expected this to be way harder than it was.] Bravo 4 said, shaking his head in disbelieve
[Ah, shit! Boss cargo bay now!] both heard nodding to the other and moving towards the cargo hold from their side
[On my way, got the codes for anything locked on the ship.]
[Ready?] Bravo 5 asked and at the nod of his wingman, he opened the door.
"You gotta be fucking kidding me." Bravo 4 cursed and even Bravo 5 looked shocked watching everything that was inside
— — — — —
Lark's POV:
Watching everything in this cargo hold I noticed my hands were shaking and likely my face is as pale as the snow on Hoth.
"This, I knew pirates were bad but these fuckers are slavers." I heard Bravo 3 behind me grumble and I can't blame her.
All these small cages are filled with people who are blindfolded and gagged hands tied on their backs sitting on their knees, leaning forward with their heads down, unable to move at all.
I pointed at the helmet and pressed my hands together towards Bravo 3 praying she would not throw me out again and at her nod, I felt relieved.
[This is not a pirate raid but a slaver raid, but I have never seen them do such things] I told her
[No shit, the one in command does even care less about the slaves than most of these fuckers, see the red lights on the collars and the cages? those are two different types of security measures, the one on the collars will blow them up if they're out of line or try to escape, and the one on the cages well you know it will blow up regardless of who touches those doors.] I heard her explain
[You got that right, but man these things are meant for small animals, not people.] I heard Bravo 5 say when he and Bravo 4 showed up.
[No worries kiddo, I got all the codes right here.] I heard Korar state walking inside from the door we had come through.
[Now I will give all of you the codes and we will go from cage to cage deactivating them and making sure to look at what you press you hear me, because I rather not have everyone here blow up.] I heard him say and he was mainly looking at me
[No worries sir.] I told him when he gave me a pad with two codes
[Girly, I know what you wanna say, I'm not clean on this either, most of us older folks ain't. When I was your age we did what we had to mainly to lure the Jedi out of their little temple, not my proudest of days.] he told us.
I could only listen and stand there, you learn something new every day I guess, never thought slavery would be in that hard ass his passed.
That was when he turned my way, I quickly moved deactivating the explosives.
'Focus Lark, Focus, no pressure, top one is the cages, bottom one is the collars, no pressure slow and steady.' I thought in my head scared to make a mistake that would kill hundreds of people.
And even then I almost made a big mistake when from outside we heard a massive explosion, making the ship we were on shake heavily.
[Bravo lead, this is Alpha lead the last ship just blew up no contact with the Deathwatch likely no survivors, need two men of yours to join two of mine and go over to look and figure out if there is anyone left or injured.] we all heard before the answer was sent.
[This is Bravo lead, we hear you, Bravo 4 and 5 will join your men outside.] I heard him say and watched Bravo 4 and 5 quickly hand back the pad with the codes and rush weapons ready outside.
What the hell happened? Did they hit the hyperdrive core or something? I knew questioning would not get me an answer and likely get the old man to be mad at me.
All I could do now was hope for the best and wait for the rest.

EnablingBarley Hey yall, sorry for no updates in a while, I had a really bad fever and cold I'm still recovering from.
Hope this chapter makes up for it a bit, the fever is largely gone now and am still not back at 100% but at least I feel good enough to be able to write.
Thank you all for your patience.
