Kal shakes his head. The he looks down at the desk.

I have no problem with dieing in battle. What i have a problem with is a suicide charge. What we need is a plan to find the tunnels and find out how many are in them.

Jaccien looked up once again. The young Mandalorian was now thinking the way a soldier should.



Jaccien motioned to Kal to come over to the desk, as he singled out a map he had found in the Governors Office. It had detailed drawings of all major tunnel systems, and even more lesser ones. But their was now way any being could may out all the tunnels on this forsake rock.

Kal looks at the map and thinks. How could they find and map out the others not shown. An idea comes to him.

We could try using sonar in the tunnels to find out how many are down there. Or seismic scans to find the hidden tunnels. I believe thats what they used to find tunnels in the battle of geonosis in the clone wars.

Jaccien nods, the solidier might grow up to become a decent Al'verde after all.

Kal nods as he thinks to himself of how to get the Verpine out of the tunnels.

We may not even have to go into the tunnels.

Jaccien nods in approval, the young Al'verde is getting better and better.

Kal shakes his head they weren't what he was thinking but they would work.

I was thinking we burn them out. Set fires infront of the tunnels. They would take all the oxygen out of the tunnels and kill all the bugs. leaving the tunnels for our use and little mess to clean up.

Jaccien was now grinning from ear to ear. That sounded like an excellent plan.

Kal nods then moves towards the door.

I'll begin in Slayn. If my plan is successful all begin on nickel one.

Heading out the door he moves towards the hanger and goes back to Slayn.

The busted yt-1300 lowers on repulser power upon the landing pad.

As it gets lower, a piece of hull falls off, clanging on the ground.

Its landing gets shakier the lower it gets.
Finally, the landing gear touch down.

And more pieces fall off, bolts, nuts, metal, circuitry.

The ship settles, and the engines power down, but not without a *pow* and a burst of smoke from at least one.

The loading ramp slowly lowers, then jams, shakes, then drops, slamming on the ground.

Mopre pieces fall off.

Down it steps a man in a coverall jumpsuit.
He is shaven bald, 6 foot, blue eyes, and content.

He steps off the ship and away towards the city.

The ramp tries to pull its self up.
But not without difficulty.
It stops 3/4 of the way.

*Some ships, a Lambda and yt and others land in the docking bay and their passengers made covert movements into the trading facility.*

*The G9 Rigger freighter lands at a docking bay.*
Jawn"Well this is it. Nickel one. If the info we found in the navacomputer on those wrecked starships was correct, then this is it. This should be where that smugger went. And where the data is."

*Maya looks between them both.*
Jerod:"Then this is the halfway point. When we finish here, and get that data, then finally, we can give it to the highest power against the empire, and then sneak back into the towers, and return to the future. Or rather...I can return to the future..."

*Jawn and Maya exchange sincere glances as Jerod seems lost in some distant place of memory.

They soon exit the shuttle.
And all three walk towards the construction facility.*

*The shuttle containing the diplomat lands at the "surface" of the city. The pilot gets out and begins to move towards the head government building. His Mandalorian helmet helps with his reception as people wave.

It takes about twenty minutes but he finally arrives at the building, and enters.*

*The diplomat greets the "head" of the Roche Asteroids and the Verpine people. Sitting down, both beings share a tihaar and talk a little spots and economics. Both beings like one another, because their people liked each other. After half an hour though, they get right into business.

An hour later, the agreement made, the diplomat heads out towards Nickel One's university. He there on a very important mission.*
